W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Northwest is one of the founders of Worldspan; and
WHEREAS, Worldspan is in the business of, among other things, providing certain communications and computer related services for Air Carriers and related entities; and
WHEREAS, Northwest desires to have the ability to obtain certain services for the Northwest Service Users from Worldspan, and Worldspan is willing to provide those services for the Northwest Service Users, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, the mutual undertakings of the parties as contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT, TERM, AND DEFINITIONS
Section 1.1 Agreement. During the Term and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Worldspan shall provide, and, except as otherwise provided herein, Northwest shall purchase, the services described herein for Northwest and, to the extent that Northwest so directs, any other Northwest Service Users. Worldspan and Northwest agree that Northwest shall act for and on behalf of the Northwest Service Users with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, including any approval, acceptance, consent, notice, modification, termination or other action required or permitted by this Agreement, and that Northwest shall be responsible for the timely performance or non-performance of all obligations of the Northwest Service Users hereunder and for causing each Northwest Service User to comply with all applicable provisions hereof.
1
Section 1.2 Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on and as of the Effective Date and shall continue until (i) the Initial Expiration Date or such anniversary thereof to which the Term may be extended in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.2, or (ii) such earlier date upon which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Term shall be automatically extended beyond the Initial Expiration Date for successive periods of one (1) year each unless and until either party gives the other written notice, at least twelve (12) months prior to the Initial Expiration Date or such anniversary thereof to which the Term has then been extended, that the notifying party has elected not to extend the Term beyond the Initial Expiration Date or such anniversary thereof to which the Term has then been extended.
Section 1.3 Definitions. Except for terms used only in a Schedule hereto which are defined in that Schedule, all applicable terms used in this Agreement in capitalized form shall have the respective meanings for them set forth in Schedule 1.3 hereto.
AIRLINE SERVICES AND RELATED OBLIGATIONS
Section 2.1 Airline Services. During the Term, Worldspan shall provide Airline Services for the Northwest Service Users, and the Northwest Service Users shall obtain Airline Services from Worldspan, in accordance with the following:
(a) Commencing on the Effective Date, Worldspan shall provide for the Northwest Service Users the Airline Services set forth in Schedule 2.1 hereto. The Airline Services provided for the Northwest Service Users by Worldspan may be modified from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or by the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto and may be used by the Northwest Service Users to support any lawful activities that are not prohibited by any non-competition or other agreement that Northwest may have with Worldspan.
(b) If at any time during the Term Worldspan provides Core Reservations Services pursuant to this Agreement to Northwest or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries that are Air Carriers and that use the same air carrier designator code as Northwest with respect to all or substantially all of their flights, then Worldspan shall thereafter during the remainder of the Term [**].
(c) Except as provided in Section 2.1(b) hereof and, with respect to Development Services, Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 hereof, Northwest may, after giving Worldspan at least [**] prior written notice thereof, discontinue obtaining from Worldspan any Airline Services for any Northwest Service User, in which event the provisions of Section 7.4 hereof shall be applicable.
[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.
2
(d) Worldspan shall, at the reasonable request of Northwest, use reasonable business efforts to provide for any Northwest Service User, pursuant to this Agreement and using the same Worldspan Software and other applicable resources, any Airline Service that Worldspan is then providing for any similar entity (for example, if the Northwest Service User for which the Airline Service is requested is an airline, then another airline) pursuant to any other Airline Services Agreement, except to the extent that (i) Worldspan’s right to so provide that Airline Service is restricted by applicable law, regulation or industry rule, or (ii) that Airline Service relies upon software which Worldspan is prohibited from using for that Northwest Service User by any other Airline Services Agreement or by any agreement with a third party. Worldspan shall from time to time inform Northwest of the Airline Services available, or anticipated to be available, to the Northwest Service Users pursuant to this Agreement. Except as may be otherwise mutually agreed, Northwest shall promptly reimburse Worldspan for [**].
(e) In addition, Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts to provide for the Northwest Service Users any additional Airline Services that may be reasonably requested by Northwest, that, if provided, would interface (i.e., exchange data) with the portion of the Worldspan Software used to provide the Airline Services Northwest is then obtaining from Worldspan, and that are technically feasible for Worldspan to provide. [**] If and to the extent that Northwest requests any additional Airline Services that, if provided, would not interface (i.e., exchange data) with the portion of the Worldspan Software used to provide the Airline Services Northwest is then obtaining from Worldspan, then Worldspan may, but is not required to, provide such additional services on such terms and conditions, including prices, as the parties may agree upon at that time.
[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.

(f) From time to time as may be requested by Northwest, Worldspan shall, within six (6) months after Northwest’s request, develop and provide to Northwest a technical plan, reasonably acceptable to Northwest, for providing disaster recovery capabilities designed to allow the continuation of critical Airline Services, as designated by Northwest, in the event that a disaster, whether natural or man-made, substantially disables any Independent Complex supporting Northwest. Upon Northwest’s written request, Worldspan shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement, within a commercially reasonable timeframe and to the extent technically feasible, and thereafter maintain any such plan so as to provide those disaster recovery capabilities, but such obligation to implement any such plan and provide any such disaster recovery capabilities shall be contingent upon Northwest, if and to the extent reasonably requested by Worldspan, purchasing all of the equipment required or providing, or making other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Worldspan in its discretion for Worldspan to obtain, sufficient funding for any capital investment, expenditure or outlay required to implement such plan and provide such capabilities, it being understood that Worldspan may be unable or unwilling to incur additional indebtedness in light of its financial condition, contractual obligations or capital raising plans at such time. To the extent permitted in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, the costs incurred by Worldspan in implementing and maintaining any such plan and constructing and providing those disaster recovery capabilities shall be capitalized and recognized as depreciation expenses over the useful life of the applicable resources used to provide those capabilities. Any of those costs incurred in connection with disaster recovery capabilities with respect to any Independent Complex supporting Northwest that constitute costs for Shared Resources shall be allocated among the System Users supported by such Independent Complex that elect to participate in those disaster recovery capabilities, with Northwest’s share of those costs (which share shall be considered part of its Cost Recovery Amounts for Production Services) being determined by multiplying the amount of those costs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the costs incurred by Worldspan in connection with providing Production Services from that Independent Complex for Northwest, as determined in accordance with the Cost Collection and Allocation Methodology, and the denominator of which is the costs incurred by Worldspan in connection with providing Production Services from that Independent Complex for all the System Users supported by such Independent Complex that elect to participate in those disaster recovery capabilities, as determined in accordance with the Cost Collection and Allocation Methodology.
Section 2.2 Performance Objectives and Standards. During the Term:
(a) Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts to provide Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group in accordance with the performance levels provided by Worldspan to the Founder Airlines prior to the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, the performance objectives set forth in Section 2 of Schedule 2.2 hereto (the “Performance Objectives”). However, Worldspan shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise have any liability to any Northwest Service User as the result of any failure by Worldspan to meet the Performance Objectives.
4
(b) Worldspan agrees that its performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group shall meet or exceed the applicable performance standards set forth in Section 3 of Schedule 2.2 hereto (the “Intermediate Performance Standards”). In the event that Worldspan’s performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group fails to meet any applicable Intermediate Performance Standard during [**] and, after Worldspan has been given written notice of Northwest’s intention to withhold payments to Worldspan as a result of such failure, that failure has not been Cured at any time during the [**] period following such notice, then, in addition to any other remedies permitted by this Agreement, Northwest shall have the right, after giving Worldspan prior written notice thereof, to:
[**]
(c) Worldspan agrees that its performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group shall meet or exceed the applicable performance standards set forth in Section 4 of Schedule 2.2 hereto (the “Minimum Performance Standards”). In the event that Worldspan’s performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group fails to meet any applicable Minimum Performance Standard during any [**], then, in addition to any other remedies permitted by this Agreement, Northwest shall have the right, after giving Worldspan prior written notice thereof, to:
[**]
[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.
5
[**]
(d) In the event that an Event of Default with respect to Worldspan has occurred and this Agreement is being terminated as a result thereof, then any amounts that have been or may be paid into an Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be treated as follows:
(1) There shall be retained in the Escrow Account any amounts up to, but not to exceed, an amount equal to the product of (i) [**], multiplied by (ii) [**] of the then current Standard Cost Rate for a person-hour of Development Resources; and
(2) Any amounts in excess of the amount retained pursuant to subsection (1) of this Section 2.2(d), whether then in the Escrow Account or subsequently paid therein, shall be immediately disbursed to Worldspan.
Thereafter, on a monthly basis, Worldspan shall be entitled to withdraw from the Escrow Account (i) amounts equal to any Software Consent Costs paid by Worldspan, and (ii) amounts equal to [**]. In addition, Worldspan shall be entitled to withdraw from the Escrow Account any remaining amounts in the Escrow Account when Worldspan has fulfilled its obligation to provide Transition Services for Northwest as provided in Section 7.4 hereof. Any amount which Worldspan is entitled to withdraw from the Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) shall be paid to Worldspan five (5) days after Worldspan has submitted to the custodian of the Escrow Account, with a copy to Northwest, a certification of the amount to be withdrawn and the basis therefor.
(e) Worldspan and Northwest shall periodically mutually review the Performance Objectives, Intermediate Performance Standards, and Minimum Performance Standards and shall, by written agreement, supplement and update any or all of them to the extent that the parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, mutually agree is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.
6
Section 2.3 Performance Reports, Reviews and Working Relationships. During the Term:
(a) At least once each calendar month, Worldspan shall provide to Northwest a written report comparing the actual performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group with the applicable Performance Objectives, Intermediate Performance Standards, and Minimum Performance Standards and containing such other information with respect to the performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group as may be reasonably requested by Northwest.
(b) Representatives of Worldspan and Northwest shall meet as often as may be reasonably requested by either party, but no less often than once each calendar quarter, to review Worldspan’s performance of Airline Services under this Agreement and to discuss technical plans, financial matters, system performance, service levels and any other matters related to this Agreement that may be reasonably requested by either party.
(c) Worldspan shall provide Northwest with performance briefings and reports in accordance with Worldspan’s reasonable and customary procedures, as those procedures may be reasonably modified by Worldspan from time to time. However, except with the consent of Northwest, Worldspan shall continue to provide Northwest with performance briefings and reports in accordance with the procedures utilized by Worldspan immediately prior to the Effective Date and no such modification of those procedures shall reduce in any material respect the type, detail or frequency of the information provided to Northwest by Worldspan prior to the Effective Date.
(d) Worldspan shall (i) with respect to any development project undertaken for Northwest, either as a Northwest Dedicated Improvement or as a Joint Improvement for which a portion of the costs are allocated to Northwest, promptly notify Northwest of (A) any delays in the anticipated completion date for the project from that previously projected by Worldspan or (B) any cost overruns in the anticipated costs for the project from those previously projected by Worldspan, including any remedial action being taken by Worldspan, and (ii) use reasonable business efforts to (A) provide appropriate access to senior management of Worldspan by Northwest counterparts, (B) create senior level customer advisory committees (for topics such as Technology, Product Development & Distribution), in order to provide forums for the Served Designated Airlines to learn about applicable Worldspan initiatives and plans relating to Airline Services and to discuss areas of mutual concern and interest, (C) provide the customer advisory committees with information regarding the product development and technology components of the Worldspan Business Plan and Strategic/Long Term Plan, and (D) with the cooperation and assistance of Northwest and the other Served Designated Airlines, develop and maintain a working relationship document that is consistent in scope and content with the Working Relationship Document maintained by Worldspan prior to the Effective Date.
7
(e) In addition to any other report or review required or contemplated by this Agreement, Worldspan shall immediately report to Northwest (i) any event, occurrence or delay relating to the Airline Services provided to the Northwest Service User Group that poses a material threat to the safe operation of any aircraft operated by any Northwest Service User, or (ii) any other material impairment or outage with respect to the Worldspan System as it relates to the Airline Services provided hereunder and the measures to be taken by Worldspan to limit or prevent any subsequent occurrence of the material impairment or outage.
Section 2.4 System Capacity Shortfalls. Northwest acknowledges that in instances of high demand or system outages, demands on any Independent Complex within the Worldspan System may exceed the available capacity of that Independent Complex. In any such instance, and without limiting, to the extent applicable, the provisions of Sections 2.2(b), 2.2(c), and 7.2(b) hereof, Worldspan shall be entitled to [**] in accordance with the procedures set forth on Schedule 2.4 hereto, as those procedures may be modified from time to time by the System Joint Development Committee, with the reasonable approval of Worldspan. However, all such modifications of those procedures shall continue to reflect that the primary objective of those procedures is to allow Worldspan to continue providing the Airline Services (including, without limitation, flight planning and departure control, and passenger processing and servicing) that are necessary to support the flight operations of the Northwest Service Users and the Service Users with respect to the other Served Designated Airlines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the system capacity shortfall procedures with respect to any Independent Complex that is dedicated to supporting one or more Served Designated Airlines shall be modified at, and only at, the written direction of that Served Designated Airline, if there is only one, or those Served Designated Airlines, acting jointly, if there are more than one.
Section 2.5 Transaction Data. In addition to the information provided pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof (which shall be provided at no additional charge to Northwest), during the Term and subject to applicable laws and regulations, Worldspan shall, at Northwest’s expense, provide to each Northwest Service User which is an Air Carrier all information (other than CRS transaction data that Worldspan generally makes available to Air Carriers pursuant to a separate agreement) collected by the Worldspan System related to reservations and bookings on such Northwest Service User that may be reasonably requested by Northwest. Such data shall be provided to the Northwest Service User, in machine-readable format, by magnetic tape and/or electronic communications with any computers operated by or on behalf of the Northwest Service User and otherwise pursuant to mutually agreeable terms and conditions.
Section 2.6 Change Control Procedures. During the Term, Worldspan shall make Changes directly affecting the Airline Services provided to Northwest only in a manner consistent with Change Control Procedures to be developed and maintained by Worldspan.

[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.
8
(a) No Change shall be made without Northwest’s approval, except as may be necessary on a temporary basis to maintain the continuity of the Airline Services provided by Worldspan for the Northwest Service Users. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 2.6, Northwest shall be deemed to have approved any Change directly resulting from (i) any Northwest Dedicated Improvement authorized by Northwest pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, or (ii) any Joint Improvement authorized by a Joint Development Committee on which Northwest is represented. However, if any Joint Improvement is authorized by a Joint Development Committee on which Northwest is represented, but for which the representative of Northwest did not vote affirmatively, pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, then Worldspan shall exclude Northwest from the effects thereof to the extent that it is technically feasible to do so, and Northwest agrees to be responsible for, and have included in the Cost Recovery Amounts attributable to it, any and all costs incurred by Worldspan in connection with excluding Northwest from the effects thereof.
(b) With respect to any Change made on a temporary basis in order to maintain the continuity of the Airline Services provided by Worldspan for the Northwest Service Users, Worldspan shall provide to Northwest notice of the Change no later than the next day following such Change.

(d) Northwest shall respond to Worldspan within thirty (30) days after Northwest’s receipt of a written request from Worldspan for approval of any Change, which request shall be submitted to Northwest in such manner as Northwest may reasonably designate from time to time and shall include a reasonably detailed description of the Change and the anticipated costs and benefits to Northwest resulting from the Change. If Northwest fails to respond to Worldspan within twenty (20) days after Northwest’s receipt of any such request, then Worldspan may give written notice of such failure to Northwest’s Chief Information Officer. If Northwest fails to respond to Worldspan within ten (10) days after Northwest’s Chief Information Officer’s receipt of any such notice, then Worldspan shall be entitled to meet in person with Northwest’s Chief Information Officer as soon as reasonably practicable in order to discuss Northwest’s failure to respond.
Section 2.7 Unrelated Equipment and Services. During the Term:
(a) If Northwest desires to acquire for any Northwest Service User any item of equipment (“Equipment”), any maintenance service (“Maintenance Service”), or any telecommunications service (“Telecommunications Service”) with respect to the computer operations of Northwest not related to the Worldspan System of a type
9
available under any agreement between Worldspan and a third party supplier, then, upon the reasonable request of Northwest, Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts to arrange for Northwest to acquire for that Northwest Service User such Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service for a price equal to the cost of such Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service under such agreement, with Northwest to reimburse Worldspan for any resources utilized and expenses reasonably incurred by Worldspan that are directly attributable thereto, and pursuant to other terms and conditions mutually acceptable to Worldspan and Northwest. Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts to arrange with the supplier of such Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service to provide to Northwest for that Northwest Service User a warranty with respect to that Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service that is the same in all material respects as the warranty, if any, that would have been obtained by Worldspan if Worldspan had acquired such Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service from such supplier for use by Worldspan, and Northwest shall comply with all applicable contractual obligations of Worldspan relating to any such Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service.
(b) If Worldspan desires to acquire any item of Equipment, any Maintenance Service, or any Telecommunications Service with respect to the computer operations of Worldspan of a type available under any agreement between Northwest and a third party supplier, then, upon the reasonable request of Worldspan, Northwest shall use reasonable business efforts to arrange for Worldspan to acquire such Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service for a price equal to the cost of such Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service under such agreement, with Worldspan to reimburse Northwest for any resources utilized and expenses reasonably incurred by Northwest that are directly attributable thereto, and pursuant to other terms and conditions mutually acceptable to Northwest and Worldspan. Northwest shall use reasonable business efforts to arrange with the supplier of such Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service to provide to Worldspan a warranty with respect to that Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service that is the same in all material respects as the warranty, if any, that would have been obtained by Northwest if Northwest had acquired such Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service from such supplier for use by Northwest, and Worldspan shall comply with all applicable contractual obligations of Northwest relating to such Equipment, Maintenance Service, or Telecommunications Service.
(c) If, as of the Effective Date, either party hereto is providing the other party hereto with the use of space in the premises of the first party for the location of equipment or other purposes of the other party, then that arrangement shall be continued, and the other party shall continue to have the use of such space for that purpose, on the same terms and conditions as in effect prior to the Effective Date, unless and until that arrangement is terminated or modified in accordance with the following sentence. Either party hereto may terminate or modify any such arrangement by providing the other party with written notice thereof sufficiently in advance for the other party to reasonably accommodate the
10
termination or modification, including, if applicable, obtaining and relocating to alternative space; provided, however, that (i) except with Northwest’s prior consent, Worldspan shall make no such change or modification that adversely effects the Airline Services provided for, or the costs incurred by, the Northwest Service Users, and (ii) except to the extent that Worldspan may otherwise agree in writing, Worldspan shall be excused from the performance of its obligations hereunder if and to the extent that any such change or modification made by Northwest adversely affects Worldspan’s ability to perform any such Airline Services.
(d) If from time to time the equipment of either party hereto is physically located on the premises of the other party hereto, then (i) the first party acknowledges and agrees that it shall bear the risk of loss or damage to the equipment and that, except to the extent otherwise mutually agreed, it shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of the equipment, and (ii) the other party agrees that it will not assert ownership of, or grant a security interest or otherwise create a lien on, the equipment and that it will reasonably cooperate with the first party in providing access to the equipment and, at the expense of the first party, providing or arranging for the maintenance or repair of the equipment.
Section 2.8 Northwest Obligations. In addition to its other obligations hereunder, during the Term:
(a) Northwest shall, and shall cause each other Northwest Service User to, cooperate with Worldspan in the performance of Worldspan’s obligations hereunder, including without limitation, and in each instance subject to normal security requirements and in a manner that is not unnecessarily disruptive to that Northwest Service User’s business operations, by:
(1) Providing to Worldspan such information, data, access to premises, management decisions, approvals and acceptances as may be reasonable to permit Worldspan to provide Airline Services hereunder.
(2) Not abusing or misusing the Worldspan System, any of the components thereof, or any of the capabilities provided thereby.
(b) Upon the reasonable request of Worldspan from time to time, Northwest shall provide to Worldspan, with the reasonable cooperation and assistance of Worldspan, (i) a list, by Service User category, of the names and addresses of all the Northwest Service Users to which Airline Services are being provided as of that time, and/or (ii) a list of all locations where Airline Services are being provided to the Northwest Service Users as of that time, designating in such list those locations which are for Northwest, subsidiaries of Northwest, Common Designators, Direct Connects, General Sales Agents and Tour Operators.
Section 2.9 Airline Services Organization. During the Term, Worldspan shall establish and maintain a separate business unit (the “Airline Services Organization”) to manage
11
the Internal Reservations Services, Airline Support Services, and related services that Worldspan provides to Air Carriers. The Airline Services Organization shall, at a minimum, perform the following functions:
(a) If and for so long as Northwest is a Hosted Airline, the Airline Services Organization shall assign at least one account manager for Northwest. Each such account manager will be reasonably acceptable to Northwest, will (as provided below) be replaced if and when Northwest reasonably requests, and will, if Northwest so requests, maintain his or her primary office in Northwest’s facilities, with Northwest providing suitable office space and related equipment, supplies, and administrative support for the account manager. The account manager(s) will serve as an advocate/liaison for Northwest to Worldspan with respect to areas such as joint development as provided in Section 3.3 hereof, Change Control Procedures as provided in Section 2.6 hereof, service delivery, and other management issues. If mutually agreed by the parties, any such account manager may be an employee of Northwest who is assigned to Worldspan for the purpose of performing this function. If Northwest reasonably and in good faith decides that any such account manager, or any other individual assigned to provide services for Northwest, should be replaced, then Northwest will notify Worldspan of its concerns and, unless Worldspan can resolve those concerns to Northwest’s satisfaction, Worldspan will replace the individual as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) The Airline Services Organization shall have a business development staff that shall be responsible for both (i) the identification, analysis, structuring, and contracting for additional services to be offered to the Hosted Airlines by Worldspan, and (ii) the marketing, analysis, and contracting with additional Air Carriers to obtain Airline Services from Worldspan.
Section 2.10 Airline Services Committee. During the Term, Worldspan shall establish and provide for the continuance of an Airline Services Committee (the “ASC”), unless and until the ASC decides by at least a seventy-five percent (75%) vote, determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10(d) hereof, to discontinue its existence. The ASC shall be composed of (i) one representative (including any alternates and advisors that such representative may deem advisable) from each Hosted Airline that is not then in material default under its Designated Airline Services Agreement or any other agreement with Worldspan, (ii) the head(s) of Worldspan’s Airline Services, technical and North American marketing operations, and (iii) any other members who are from time to time mutually acceptable to Worldspan and a majority of the Hosted Airlines then represented on the ASC. The ASC shall have the following objectives, functions, duties, and procedures:
(a) The ASC shall provide a high level customer advisory function for the existing Hosted Airlines and serve as a strategic platform to attract other Air Carriers to become Hosted Airlines. In particular, the ASC shall:
12
(1) Facilitate the Hosted Airlines’ confidence and comfort with respect to Worldspan’s attention to the mission critical Internal Reservations Services and related functions performed for the Hosted Airlines by Worldspan.
(2) Create a vehicle to provide assurance to Air Carriers that are considering obtaining Internal Reservations Services from Worldspan or competitors of Worldspan that there is a forum within Worldspan that will be responsive to their needs and concerns and that will provide participation that differs from that available in traditional outsourcing arrangements.
(3) Better align key decision making relating to the Internal Reservations Services provided by Worldspan among a community of similarly situated Air Carriers.
(4) Create an organization focused on the needs of the existing and future Hosted Airlines and the Internal Reservations Services provided by Worldspan.
(5) Facilitate the sharing of the use of software among the Hosted Airlines and Worldspan.
(b) The ASC shall assist Worldspan in marketing its Internal Reservations Services, Airline Support Services, and related services to additional Air Carriers.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the ASC shall only perform an advisory role for Worldspan and shall not have any right or power to compel Worldspan to take or refrain from taking any action, to enter into any agreement or arrangement or waive any right on behalf of Worldspan, or to otherwise incur any obligation on behalf of Worldspan without the express written authorization of Worldspan.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.10, decisions of the ASC shall be made by majority vote, and, if and for so long as Northwest is a Hosted Airline, the representative of Northwest shall be entitled to cast a percentage of the votes on any such decision, which percentage shall be equal to the percentage obtained by dividing (i) the amount of revenue paid to Worldspan by Northwest for Development Services and Production Services (pursuant to either this Agreement or any predecessor agreement) during the immediately preceding calendar year (or, if Northwest was not a Hosted Airline during the entire preceding calendar year, Worldspan’s reasonable estimate of the then current annualized revenue being paid to Worldspan by Northwest for Development Services and Production Services provided pursuant to this Agreement), by (ii) the aggregate amount of revenue paid to Worldspan by all the Hosted Airlines for Development Services and Production Services (pursuant to either their Airline Services Agreements or any predecessor agreements) during the immediately preceding calendar year (or, with respect to any Hosted Airline that was not a Hosted Airline during the entire preceding calendar year, Worldspan’s reasonable estimate of the then current annualized revenue being paid to Worldspan by that Hosted Airline for Development

Section 2.12 Other Air Carriers. Worldspan may offer, and contract, to provide services, including Internal Reservations Services and Airline Support Services, to other Air Carriers on such terms and conditions as may be determined by Worldspan management from time to time, including terms and conditions similar to those specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that during the Term:
(a) The Cost Recovery Amounts for Northwest determined pursuant to the Cost Collection and Allocation Methodology, as specified in Schedule 4.1 hereto, will not be increased as a result of any such arrangements with other Air Carriers, nor will Northwest be otherwise required to subsidize the cost of providing services to any other Air Carriers.
(b) In the event that Worldspan offers or commits to provide services to any other Air Carrier on terms and conditions, including price, that are more favorable, in the aggregate, than the terms and conditions, including price, on which Worldspan is then providing services to Northwest hereunder, then Worldspan shall promptly notify Northwest thereof and offer to provide Northwest such services on such more favorable terms and conditions. If Northwest elects to obtain such services on such more favorable terms and conditions, then Northwest must, insofar as possible, obtain all such services on such terms and conditions and must undertake to perform all the corresponding obligations of the other Air Carrier, but may continue to obtain any additional services on the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement. Worldspan shall periodically, and no less often than annually, provide Northwest with a written notice, signed by Worldspan’s chief executive officer, certifying that Worldspan has been in full compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.12(b) since the date of the last such notice.
(c) In the event that Worldspan enters into a definitive agreement to provide Airline Services to an Air Carrier using the same Independent Complex as that used for Northwest, which definitive agreement contains performance standards (the “Improved Performance Standards”) that are more favorable in the aggregate to such Air Carrier than the performance standards (the “Original Performance Standards”) set forth in
[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.
15
Schedule 2.2 hereto as of the Effective Date, then Worldspan shall offer the Improved Performance Standards to Northwest and Northwest shall, subject to complying with the provisions of the following sentence, have the right to require that this Agreement be amended to incorporate the Improved Performance Standards into Schedule 2.2 hereto. Northwest’s right to require that this Agreement be so amended shall be subject to Northwest agreeing to amend this Agreement to adjust the penalties and other remedies available to Northwest under this Agreement for any failures to meet the Improved Performance Standards so that such penalties and other remedies are equivalent to the penalties and other remedies available to such other Air Carrier under such definitive agreement for any failures to meet the Improved Performance Standards. If this Agreement is amended to incorporate the Improved Performance Standards, then, unless otherwise mutually agreed, Worldspan shall, for so long as Northwest is entitled to Northwest FASA Credits under Section 4.4 hereof, continue to track and report to Northwest Worldspan’s performance of the Airline Services with respect to the Original Performance Standards in the same manner as Worldspan did prior to such amendment, but Northwest shall not be entitled to any penalties or other remedies as a result of Worldspan’s failure to meet the Original Performance Standards, except that Northwest shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of an Event of Default with respect to Worldspan relating to the Original Performance Standards, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2(b) hereof and Schedule 2.2 hereto, as they existed as of the Effective Date, with any such termination being a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination, unless such Event of Default is based, in whole or in part, upon Worldspan’s failure to meet either an Intermediate Performance Standard or a Minimum Performance Standard for either High Severity Impacts or Severity 2 Impacts, as set forth in Schedule 2.2 hereto, in which event such termination shall be a Northwest General Termination. In addition, Northwest shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of an Event of Default with respect to Worldspan relating to the Improved Performance Standards, as determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement after such amendment, with any such termination being a Northwest General Termination.

During the portion of the Base Year remaining after the Effective Date and each subsequent calendar year during the Term, Worldspan shall provide for the direct or indirect benefit of Northwest, on a reasonable schedule, Northwest Dedicated Development Resources, of at least [**] of the Committed Dedicated Development Hours for that year and, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.1, up to [**] of the Committed Dedicated Development Hours for that year, for the development of Northwest Dedicated Improvements. In the event that Northwest specifies activities that require more than [**] of the Committed Dedicated Development Hours, Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts to comply with such request, taking into consideration the advance notice given to Worldspan and the amount and type of resources required.
[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.
16
Northwest shall regularly communicate with Worldspan in order to designate and prioritize the projects to be worked on by the Northwest Dedicated Development Resources provided pursuant to this Section 3.1, which projects and priorities shall, if applicable, initially consist of those established by Northwest and Worldspan prior to the Effective Date. This communication shall include, but not be limited to, submitting to Worldspan at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of each calendar quarter a written schedule setting forth, in such detail as may be reasonably requested by Worldspan, Northwest’s best good faith projections of those projects during each of the next four calendar quarters. Worldspan shall be entitled to rely on such schedules in planning for and allocating its personnel and other resources, but Northwest may make changes in any such schedule if and when Northwest determines appropriate. If Northwest makes any changes in the projects or priorities contained in any such schedule for the first calendar quarter covered by such schedule that could result in any disruption in the utilization of those resources or in the services provided by Worldspan for Northwest or any other Served Designated Airline, then Worldspan shall inform Northwest of the potential disruption and, if Northwest decides to proceed with the changes, Worldspan and Northwest shall work together in good faith to minimize the disruptive effects of the changes, with Northwest to be responsible for any expenses related to the changes that are not thereby avoided.
Unless and until Northwest notifies Worldspan to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof, any Northwest Dedicated Improvement developed pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be Northwest Exclusive Use Software and any additional effort required to develop that Northwest Dedicated Improvement so that it can be used exclusively by the Northwest Service Users will be considered to be part of the work to be performed by the Northwest Dedicated Development Resources. If and when Northwest notifies Worldspan that any Northwest Dedicated Improvement is not to be Northwest Exclusive Use Software, then Worldspan’s use thereof shall not be restricted as Northwest Exclusive Use Software.
Section 3.2 Northwest Key Employees. Northwest may, from time to time during the Term, designate as key employees (the “Northwest Key Employees”) any Worldspan software development and related personnel that Northwest reasonably determines have worked on and are familiar with Northwest’s systems and operations and who are not then designated as “Key Employees” by another Founder Airline pursuant to its Founder Airline Services Agreement. The number of Worldspan personnel so designated as Northwest Key Employees may vary from time to time but shall not exceed [**]. In connection with the Northwest Key Employees, Worldspan and Northwest shall comply with the following:
(a) The first priority of the Northwest Key Employees shall be to perform dedicated Development Services for Northwest pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof. To the extent requested by Northwest, the Northwest Key Employees will be housed in reasonably contiguous space at Worldspan facilities. Northwest may assign one or more of its representatives to work at such Worldspan facilities to assist in coordinating the activities of the Northwest Key Employees.

(b) Northwest and Worldspan will meet periodically to review and discuss the performance of the Northwest Key Employees, the training and skill development programs to be provided for the Northwest Key Employees, and related matters. Worldspan will work with Northwest in establishing and maintaining procedures for the orderly succession and replacement of the Northwest Key Employees.
(c) Except as set forth below, Worldspan will not reassign an individual designated as a Northwest Key Employee unless Northwest consents to the reassignment. If Worldspan, in consultation with Northwest, reasonably and in good faith determines that an individual designated as a Northwest Key Employee is not properly performing his or her duties, Worldspan will replace that individual as soon as reasonably practicable. If Northwest reasonably and in good faith decides that any individual designated as a Northwest Key Employee should be replaced, then Northwest will notify Worldspan of its concerns and, unless Worldspan can resolve those concerns to Northwest’s satisfaction, Worldspan will replace the individual as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 3.3 Joint Development. In addition to the Northwest Dedicated Development Resources provided pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, during the portion of the Base Year remaining after the Effective Date and each subsequent calendar year during the Term, Worldspan shall provide, on a reasonable schedule, software development personnel resources, together with associated computer and related resources, (the “Joint Development Resources”) for the development of Improvements designated by the applicable Joint Development Committee to be developed by the Joint Development Resources (“Joint Improvements”). The
[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.
18
Joint Improvements shall not be Northwest Exclusive Use Software and Worldspan’s use thereof shall not be restricted. Joint Improvements shall be designated and prioritized in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) For any given calendar year, a committee composed of one representative (including any alternates and advisors that such representative may deem advisable) of Worldspan and each Hosted Airline (the “Hosted Airline Joint Development Committee”) shall designate and prioritize the projects to be worked on by a portion of the Joint Development Resources for that year (the “Hosted Airline Joint Development Resources”), which portion shall be at least [**] of the Committed Hosted Airline Joint Development Hours for that year and, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3(a), up to [**] of the Committed Hosted Airline Joint Development Hours for that year. In the event that the Hosted Airline Joint Development Committee requests Joint Development Resources for activities that require more than [**] of the Committed Hosted Airline Joint Development Hours, Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts to comply with such request, taking into consideration the advance notice given to Worldspan and the amount and type of resources required.
Northwest acknowledges and agrees that (x) the costs incurred by Worldspan in connection with the development of each Joint Improvement to be developed by the Hosted Airline Joint Development Resources shall be allocated among the Hosted Airlines who will have access to that Joint Improvement in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 4.1 hereto, and (y) any costs incurred by Worldspan in connection with the Hosted Airline Joint Development Resources during any calendar year that are not allocated among the Hosted Airlines in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 4.1 hereto shall, at the end of that calendar year, be allocated among the Hosted Airlines in the same proportions as the other costs incurred by Worldspan in connection with the Hosted Airline Joint Development Resources have been allocated among the Hosted Airlines in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 4.1 hereto during that calendar year, with Northwest’s share thereof being considered part of its Cost Recovery Amounts for Development Services.
The Hosted Airline Joint Development Committee shall prepare and adopt written rules and procedures regarding the conduct of its meetings and other appropriate matters. Decisions of the Hosted Airline Joint Development Committee shall be made by majority vote, and, if and so long as Northwest is a Hosted Airline, the representative of Northwest shall be entitled to cast a percentage of the votes on any such decision, which percentage shall be equal to (i) seventy-five percent (75%), multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of revenue paid to Worldspan by Northwest for Development Services and Production Services (pursuant to either this Agreement or any predecessor agreement) during the immediately preceding calendar year (or, if Northwest was not a Hosted Airline during the entire preceding calendar year, Worldspan’s reasonable estimate of the then current annualized revenue being paid to Worldspan by Northwest for Development Services and Production Services provided pursuant to this Agreement), and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of revenue paid to

19
Worldspan by all the Hosted Airlines for Development Services and Production Services (pursuant to either their respective Airline Services Agreements or any predecessor agreements) during the immediately preceding calendar year (or, with respect to any Hosted Airline that was not a Hosted Airline during the entire preceding calendar year, Worldspan’s reasonable estimate of the then current annualized revenue being paid to Worldspan by that Hosted Airline for Development Services and Production Services provided pursuant to its Airline Services Agreement). Northwest acknowledges that each other Hosted Airline shall similarly be entitled to cast a similarly computed percentage of the votes on any such decision and that Worldspan shall be entitled to cast twenty-five percent (25%) of the votes on any such decision.
(b) For any given calendar year, a committee composed of one representative (including any alternates and advisors that such representative may deem advisable) of Worldspan and each Air Carrier that is a Served Designated Airline and/or a Hosted Airline (the “System Joint Development Committee”) shall designate and prioritize the projects to be worked on by a portion of the Joint Development Resources for that year (the “System Joint Development Resources”), which portion shall be at least [**] of the Committed System Joint Development Hours for that year and, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3(b), up to [**] of the Committed System Joint Development Hours for that year. In the event that the System Joint Development Committee requests Joint Development Resources for activities that require more than [**] of the Committed System Joint Development Hours, Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts to comply with such request, taking into consideration the advance notice given to Worldspan and the amount and type of resources required. Except to the extent that Worldspan otherwise agrees, the System Joint Development Resources shall not be used to work on any project unless the costs for such project that are anticipated to be allocable to Worldspan are reasonably justified by the anticipated benefits of such project to Worldspan and the other System Users that are not Served Designated Airlines or Hosted Airlines.
Northwest acknowledges and agrees that (x) the costs incurred by Worldspan in connection with the development of each Joint Improvement to be developed by the System Joint Development Resources shall be allocated among Worldspan and the Served Designated Airlines and Hosted Airlines who will have access to that Joint Improvement in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 4.1 hereto, and (y) any costs incurred by Worldspan in connection with the System Joint Development Resources during any calendar year that are not allocated among Worldspan and the Served Designated Airlines and Hosted Airlines in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 4.1 hereto shall, at the end of that calendar year, be allocated among Worldspan and the Served Designated Airlines and Hosted Airlines in the same proportions as the other costs incurred by Worldspan in connection with the System Joint Development Resources have been allocated among Worldspan and the Served Designated Airlines and Hosted Airlines in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 4.1 hereto during that calendar year, with Northwest’s share thereof being considered part of its Cost Recovery Amounts for Development Services.
[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.
20
The System Joint Development Committee shall prepare and adopt written rules and procedures regarding the conduct of its meetings and other appropriate matters. Decisions of the System Joint Development Committee shall be made by majority vote, and, so long as Northwest continues to be a Served Designated Airline or a Hosted Airline, the representative of Northwest shall be entitled to cast a percentage of the votes on any such decision, which percentage shall be equal to (i) sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%), multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of revenue paid to Worldspan by Northwest for Development Services and Production Services (pursuant to either this Agreement or any predecessor agreement) during the immediately preceding calendar year (or, if Northwest was not a Served Designated Airline or Hosted Airline during the entire preceding calendar year, Worldspan’s reasonable estimate of the then current annualized revenue being paid to Worldspan by Northwest for Development Services and Production Services provided pursuant to this Agreement), and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of revenue paid to Worldspan by all the Served Designated Airlines and Hosted Airlines for Development Services and Production Services (pursuant to either their respective Airline Services Agreements or any predecessor agreements) during the immediately preceding calendar year (or, with respect to any Served Designated Airline or Hosted Airline that was not a Served Designated Airline or Hosted Airline during the entire preceding calendar year, Worldspan’s reasonable estimate of the then current annualized revenue being paid to Worldspan by that Served Designated Airline or Hosted Airline for Development Services and Production Services provided pursuant to its Airline Services Agreement). Northwest acknowledges that each other Served Designated Airline and Hosted Airline shall similarly be entitled to cast a similarly computed percentage of the votes on any such decision and that Worldspan shall be entitled to cast thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the votes on any such decision.
(c) The Hosted Airline Joint Development Committee and the System Joint Development Committee shall regularly communicate with Worldspan in order to designate and prioritize the projects to be worked on by the Hosted Airline Joint Development Resources and the System Joint Development Resources, respectively. This communication shall include, but not be limited to, submitting to Worldspan at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of each calendar quarter a written schedule setting forth, in such detail as may be reasonably requested by Worldspan, that Committee’s best good faith projections of the applicable projects during each of the next four calendar quarters. Worldspan shall be entitled to rely on such schedules in planning for and allocating its personnel and other resources, but each Committee may make changes in any such schedule submitted by that Committee if and when that Committee reasonably determines appropriate. If any such Committee makes any changes in the projects or priorities contained in any such schedule submitted by that Committee for the first calendar quarter covered by such schedule that could result in any disruption in the utilization of those resources or in the services provided by Worldspan for Northwest or any other Served Designated Airline or Hosted Airline, then Worldspan shall inform that Committee of the potential disruption and, if that Committee decides to proceed with the changes, Worldspan and that Committee shall work together in good faith to minimize the disruptive effects of the changes.

Section 3.4 Adjustment of Committed Development Hours. In the event that, for any given calendar year during the Term, the combined total of the person-hours of Dedicated Development Resources and Joint Development Resources requested by the Served Designated Airlines, the Hosted Airline Joint Development Committee, and the System Joint Development Committee is greater than 115% of the combined total of the person-hours of Dedicated Development Resources and Joint Development Resources that were actually used (or would have been used except for any Operational Emergency) during the prior calendar year, then Worldspan may, because of feasibility issues such as labor market constraints, reduce each of the Committed Dedicated Development Hours, Committed Hosted Airline Joint Development Hours, and Committed System Joint Development Hours that would otherwise be applicable by an amount that, in each case, is equal to (i) the applicable Requested Development Hour Increase, if any, for the given calendar year multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the denominator of which is the combined total of all Requested Development Hour Increases for the given calendar year, and the numerator of which is (x) the combined total of all Requested Development Hour Increases for the given calendar year, less (y) the combined total of all Requested Development Hour Decreases for the given calendar year, less (z) the amount by which (A) the combined total of the person-hours of Dedicated Development Resources and Joint Development Resources that Worldspan reasonably determines is feasible to provide during the given calendar year, but no less than 115% of the combined total of the person-hours of Dedicated Development Resources and Joint Development Resources that were actually used (or would have been used except for any Operational Emergency) during the prior calendar year, is greater than (B) the combined total of the person-hours of Dedicated Development Resources and Joint Development Resources that were actually used (or would have been used except for any Operational Emergency) during the prior calendar year.
Section 3.5 Worldspan Development. Northwest acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the Joint Development Resources and the Dedicated Development Resources for the Served Designated Airlines, Worldspan may have other software development personnel resources (the “Worldspan Development Resources”) who develop Improvements designated and prioritized by Worldspan and for whom Northwest shall not be charged pursuant to this Agreement except as provided in Section 3.8 hereof. On an annual basis, Worldspan shall develop a plan for the utilization of the Worldspan Development Resources and, in doing so, shall consider the needs and priorities of the Hosted Airlines as users of the Internal Reservations Services.

Section 3.7 Technical Cooperation. Northwest acknowledges that, in connection with the testing of new software and equipment that may be incorporated into the Worldspan System from time to time, Worldspan may require the technical assistance and cooperation of some or all of the System Users, and Northwest agrees to provide, at no charge to Worldspan, such technical assistance and cooperation as Worldspan may from time to time reasonably request during the Term and which the Founder Airlines have ordinarily and customarily provided at no charge in comparable circumstances prior to the Effective Date. To the extent that Worldspan reasonably requests additional technical assistance and cooperation that Worldspan cannot reasonably and efficiently obtain from another source and that Northwest has sufficient resources to provide without disrupting its business operations, Northwest shall use reasonable business efforts to provide the technical assistance and cooperation and Worldspan shall reimburse Northwest for the costs reasonably incurred by Northwest in connection with providing such technical assistance and cooperation.
Section 3.8 Operational Emergencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 3, during the Term:
(a) In the event that there is an Operational Emergency with respect to Northwest, then Worldspan shall be entitled to utilize all then available Northwest Dedicated Development Resources in order to address such Northwest Operational Emergency. If such Northwest Operational Emergency cannot be timely addressed to Northwest’s satisfaction utilizing only such Northwest Dedicated Development Resources, then Worldspan shall address such Northwest Operational Emergency by utilizing any or all, at its reasonable discretion, of (i) any then available Joint Development Resources, (ii) any
[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.
23
then available Dedicated Development Resources for other Served Designated Airlines, and (iii) any then available Worldspan Development Resources.
(b) In the event that there is an Operational Emergency with respect to any other Served Designated Airline and Worldspan cannot timely address that Operational Emergency to that Served Designated Airline’s satisfaction by utilizing only the then available Dedicated Development Resources for that other Served Designated Airline, then Worldspan shall be entitled to address that Operational Emergency by utilizing any or all, at its reasonable discretion, of (i) any then available Joint Development Resources, (ii) any then available Dedicated Development Resources for other Served Designated Airlines, including Northwest, and (iii) any then available Worldspan Development Resources.
(c) Except to the extent caused by Worldspan or any Air Carrier that is not a Northwest Service User, and without waiving any rights or remedies to which Northwest may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement in connection with that Operational Emergency, Northwest shall be obligated to pay for, as Northwest Dedicated Development Resources, any Joint Development Resources, Dedicated Development Resources for any other Served Designated Airline, or Worldspan Development Resources that are utilized by Worldspan in addressing any Operational Emergency with respect to Northwest, but shall not be obligated to pay for any Northwest Dedicated Development Resources or Joint Development Resources that are utilized by Worldspan in addressing any Operational Emergency with respect to any other Served Designated Airline. In addition, if in addressing any Operational Emergency with respect to any other Served Designated Airline, Worldspan utilizes any Northwest Dedicated Development Resources which, except for such Operational Emergency, would have been provided to Northwest and which, as a result of the provisions of Section 3(a)(2)(D) of Schedule 4.1 hereto, would not have resulted in any charges to Northwest in addition to charges resulting from clause (i)(x) of such Section 3(a)(2)(D) if such Northwest Dedicated Development Resources had been provided to Northwest, then Worldspan shall reimburse to Northwest an amount equal to the amount by which (i) the product of the number of person-hours of such Northwest Dedicated Development Resources, multiplied by the then current Standard Cost Rate for a person hour of Development Resources, is greater than (ii) the charges resulting from clause (i)(x) of such Section 3(a)(2)(D).
(d) In the event that Worldspan utilizes any Northwest Dedicated Development Resources or Joint Development Resources in order to address any Operational Emergency, whether the Operational Emergency is with respect to Northwest or any other Served Designated Airline, then Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts to make available additional software development personnel resources to replace the Northwest Dedicated Development Resources and Joint Development Resources that were so utilized.

Business Day of each of the one hundred and eight (108) consecutive calendar months (each, a “Credit Accrual Date”) commencing with the calendar month immediately following the date of this Agreement, Northwest shall earn and be entitled to a credit against the fees for services to be provided by Worldspan in such calendar month and which shall be applied against the outstanding invoice then payable by Northwest to Worldspan pursuant to Article 4 of this Agreement that has the earliest due date after such Credit Accrual Date (the “Current Invoice”), which credit is equal to the amount set forth in column B of the table in Schedule 4.4(a) hereto directly opposite the applicable month in column A thereof (each such credit, a “Northwest FASA Credit”). The amount outstanding under the Current Invoice shall be reduced by the applicable “Monthly Credit Amount”, with the “Monthly Credit Amount” being equal to the amount, if any, by which (x) the amount of a Northwest FASA Credit earned and accrued in respect of such calendar month exceeds (y) the sum of (A) the Recoupment Amount, if any, that was included in the applicable Current Invoice, (B) the Northwest Indemnity Claim Amount, if any, that was included in the applicable Current Invoice and (C) the Northwest FASA Claim Amount, if any, that was included in the applicable Current Invoice. If the Monthly Credit Amount is greater than the amount due under the Current Invoice (it being understood and agreed that if no amounts are actually invoiced as due during the applicable calendar month, there shall be deemed to exist a Current Invoice with respect to such calendar month and the amount due under such Current Invoice shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Section 4.4(a)) (such excess, a “FASA Credit Excess Amount”), then, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the Northwest Subordination Agreement, Worldspan shall pay to Northwest such FASA Credit Excess Amount on the due date of the applicable Current Invoice or, if no amounts are actually invoiced as due during the applicable calendar month, on or prior to the last day of such calendar month. Such payment shall be made by Worldspan by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as Northwest may from time to time designate in writing in accordance with Section 9.10 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the sum of (A) the Recoupment Amount, if any, applicable to a Northwest FASA Credit, (B) the Northwest Indemnity Claim Amount, if any, applicable to such Northwest FASA Credit and (C) the Northwest FASA Claim Amount, if any, applicable to such Northwest FASA Credit exceeds the amount of such Northwest FASA Credit, then such excess shall be applied against future Northwest FASA Credits, if any, but only to the extent expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.4(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of the Northwest FASA Credit accrued during each of the first two full calendar months of the Term of this Agreement shall not be applied against the Current Invoice but, instead, the amount equal to (i) the Northwest FASA Credit less (ii) the sum of (x) the Recoupment Amount, if any, applicable to such Northwest FASA Credit, (y) the Northwest Indemnity Claim Amount, if any, applicable to such Northwest FASA Credit and (z) the Northwest FASA Claim Amount, if any, applicable to such Northwest FASA Credit shall be payable in full and in cash by Worldspan to Northwest on July 3, 2003 and August 1, 2003, respectively, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as Northwest may from time to time designate in writing in accordance with Section 9.10 of this Agreement (each payment, a “FASA Cash Payment”).

(b) Worldspan’s Right of Recoupment. Except as otherwise expressly provided in subsections (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 4.4(b), neither Worldspan nor TTPC shall be permitted to recoup or otherwise set off any amounts owing to either Worldspan or TTPC or any of their Affiliates against Worldspan’s or TTPC’s obligation to provide Northwest FASA Credits under Section 4.4(a) hereof, to pay any FASA Cash Payment or any FASA Credit Excess Amount under Section 4.4(a) hereof or to pay the Northwest Continuing Payment under Section 4.4(d) hereof.
(1) Worldspan shall be entitled to recoup against its obligations to provide Northwest FASA Credits or pay FASA Credit Excess Amounts or FASA Cash Payments to Northwest under Section 4.4(a) hereof or to pay Northwest Continuing Payments under Section 4.4(d) hereof any portion of unpaid amounts invoiced and owed under Article 4 hereof from Northwest that (i) has not previously been deducted from a Northwest FASA Credit and (ii) has not been paid into an Escrow Account in accordance with Section 4.5(d) of this Agreement (a “Recoupment Amount”). Worldspan shall provide written notice to Northwest of each Recoupment Amount and the reason therefor.
(2) Worldspan shall be entitled to recoup against its obligations to provide Northwest FASA Credits or pay FASA Credit Excess Amounts or FASA Cash Payments to Northwest under Section 4.4(a) hereof or to pay Northwest Continuing Payments under Section 4.4(d) hereof the amount of any claim that TTPC asserts against Northwest pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) of the Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement (a “Northwest Indemnity Claim” and the amount of such claim, the “Northwest Indemnity Claim Amount”), which Northwest Indemnity Claim can only be made to the extent permitted under the Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that (A) the recoupment rights contained in this subsection (2) are subject to, with respect to the first such Northwest Indemnity Claim, Worldspan providing written notice to Northwest of such Northwest Indemnity Claim (the “Initial Northwest Indemnity Claim Notice”) and, with respect to any subsequent Northwest Indemnity Claim, Worldspan depositing the Northwest Indemnity Claim Amount so recouped by Worldspan into an escrow account established on behalf of Northwest under the Worldspan/Northwest Indemnity Claim Escrow Agreement (as defined below), (B) the cumulative aggregate Northwest Indemnity Claim Amount that can be recouped by Worldspan under this subsection (2) shall not exceed $20,400,000, and (C) the recoupment rights contained in this subsection (2) may only be exercised by Worldspan (x) during the first fifteen month period following the date of this Agreement plus any period during which a Northwest Indemnity Claim that has been asserted by TTPC under the Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement prior to the expiration of such fifteen month period is outstanding and (y) in respect of Northwest Indemnity Claims asserted prior to the expiration of such fifteen month period. Within seven days after Northwest’s receipt of the Initial Northwest Indemnity Claim Notice, each of Northwest, Worldspan and TTPC shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Worldspan/Northwest Indemnity Claim Escrow Agreement”) in substantially the form attached hereto as
27
Schedule 4.4(b)(2) and shall deliver duly executed counterpart signature pages to each other and to the Northwest Escrow Agent. Within one Business Day after execution of the Worldspan/Northwest Indemnity Claim Escrow Agreement by Worldspan, TTPC, Northwest, and the Northwest Escrow Agent, Worldspan shall deposit the amount of the Northwest Indemnity Claim specified in the Initial Northwest Indemnity Claim Notice into an escrow account established on behalf of Northwest under the Worldspan/Northwest Indemnity Claim Escrow Agreement. All Northwest Indemnity Claim Amounts so recouped by Worldspan pursuant to this Section 4.4(b)(2) shall be held and distributed by the Northwest Escrow Agent as provided in the Northwest Indemnity Claim Escrow Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that TTPC may not assert any Northwest Indemnity Claims unless and until the applicable indemnity basket amounts under the Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement have been exceeded.
(3) Worldspan shall be entitled to recoup against its obligations to provide Northwest FASA Credits or pay FASA Credit Excess Amounts or FASA Cash Payments to Northwest under Section 4.4(a) hereof or to pay Northwest Continuing Payments under Section 4.4(d) hereof the amount of any claim that Worldspan asserts against Northwest under this Agreement (other than claims for unpaid amounts under Article 4 hereof, which shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.4(b)(1) hereof) (a “Northwest FASA Claim” and the amount of such claim, the “Northwest FASA Claim Amount”) with respect to which Worldspan reasonably and in good faith believes it is entitled to the relief requested; provided, however, that the recoupment rights contained in this subsection (3) are subject to Worldspan depositing the Northwest FASA Claim Amount so recouped by Worldspan into an escrow account established on behalf of Northwest under an escrow agreement to be entered into by Northwest and Worldspan if and when the need first arises, which escrow agreement (the “Worldspan/Northwest FASA Claim Escrow Agreement”) shall designate as the escrow agent a major international bank reasonably selected by Northwest and reasonably acceptable to Worldspan and shall provide for any funds in the escrow account, including accrued interest, to be disbursed to Northwest or Worldspan, as applicable, in accordance with the mutual agreement of Northwest and Worldspan or an arbitration or judicial decision binding on Northwest and Worldspan. All Northwest FASA Claim Amounts so recouped by Worldspan pursuant to this Section 4.4(b)(3) shall be held and distributed by the escrow agent under the Northwest FASA Claim Escrow Agreement as provided thereunder.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no amount permitted to be recouped against a Northwest FASA Credit for a particular calendar month pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) shall be deemed effective (including for purposes of calculating the FASA Credit Excess Amount applicable to such calendar month) unless such recoupment amount is reflected in the Current Invoice with the earliest due date during such calendar month; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall prohibit Worldspan from reflecting any recoupment amount that is not so reflected in such Current
28
Invoice in a subsequent invoice and from recouping against Northwest FASA Credits for subsequent calendar months expressly in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.4(b).
(c) Northwest’s Right of Recoupment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Worldspan fails to timely pay any FASA Cash Payments or any FASA Credit Excess Amounts payable to Northwest pursuant to Section 4.4(a) hereof, then Northwest shall, subject to the Northwest Subordination Agreement, be entitled to recoup against its obligations to pay amounts payable to Worldspan under Article 4 hereof any portion of such unpaid amount from Worldspan. Northwest shall provide written notice to Worldspan of each amount recouped under this section and the reason therefor.
(d) Termination of FASA for Cause. If a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or a Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection occurs, Worldspan will no longer be required to provide the monthly Northwest FASA Credits to Northwest. However, in lieu thereof, an amount equal to (i) $125,000,000 less (ii) the sum of (w) the cumulative aggregate amount of Monthly Credit Amounts that has actually been credited in favor of Northwest against amounts actually invoiced by Worldspan pursuant to Article 4 hereof, (x) any portion of any Recoupment Amount, Northwest Indemnity Claim Amount and Northwest FASA Claim Amount that has not previously been deducted from a FASA Cash Payment or Northwest FASA Credit (in each case as reflected in a Current Invoice), (y) the cumulative amount of FASA Cash Payments and FASA Credit Excess Amounts actually paid by Worldspan to Northwest pursuant to Section 4.4(a) hereof, and (z) the cumulative amount of Recoupment Amounts, Northwest Indemnity Claim Amounts and Northwest FASA Claim Amounts recouped by Worldspan pursuant to Section 4.4(b) hereof (such amount owed in respect of a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or a Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, a “Northwest Continuing Payment”), shall become due to Northwest and shall be paid to Northwest as follows:
(1) In the event of a Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, any extension or payment in respect of the Northwest FASA Credits (other than Permitted FASA Credits (as defined in the Northwest Subordination Agreement)) to Northwest will be subject to the terms of the Northwest Subordination Agreement;
(2) In the event of a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination, so long as all defaults under all Credit Facilities (as defined in the Northwest Subordination Agreement) that constitute Designated Senior Debt (as defined in the Northwest Subordination Agreement) existing as a result of such Northwest Continuing Payment Termination have been waived in writing by the requisite lenders under each such Credit Facility, Worldspan shall make payments to Northwest in respect of the Northwest FASA Credits owed to Northwest in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount agreed to in writing by the requisite lenders under each such Credit Facility in connection with agreeing to waive such defaults and (B) the amount of “Restricted Payments” Worldspan is permitted to make under the
29
Indenture (as defined below) at such time pursuant to Sections 4.07(a) or 4.07(b)(11) thereof or under any other agreement, indenture or instrument pursuant to which any Additional Notes (as defined in the Northwest Subordination Agreement) that constitute Designated Senior Debt have been issued pursuant to sections of such agreement, indenture or instrument similar to Sections 4.07(a) and 4.07(b)(11) of the Indenture, which other agreement, indenture or instrument shall contain no greater restriction on the amount of Restricted Payments that Worldspan is permitted to make in respect of the Northwest FASA Credits than those contained in the Indenture (such other indenture, an “Additional Note Indenture”), but in no event will any such payment of Northwest FASA Credits to Northwest under this subsection (2) occur earlier than ninety (90) days following the Northwest Continuing Payment Termination (it being understood that, so long as a default exists and is continuing under any Credit Facility constituting Designated Senior Debt as a result of such Northwest Continuing Payment Termination which has not been waived in writing by the requisite lenders under such Credit Facility, Worldspan shall not make any payment or other Distribution (as defined in the Northwest Subordination Agreement) (by way of direct payment in cash or other property, but excluding Permitted FASA Credits), to Northwest in respect of the Northwest FASA Credits owed to Northwest); provided, that in the event of a Worldspan Bankruptcy, any extension or payment in respect of Northwest FASA Credits hereunder (other than Permitted FASA Credits ) shall be subject to the Northwest Subordination Agreement; and
(3) In the event of a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination, so long as no Obligations (as defined in the Northwest Subordination Agreement) under any Credit Facility that constitutes Designated Senior Debt are outstanding, Worldspan shall continue to make payments (by way of direct payments, Permitted FASA Credits or otherwise) to Northwest in respect of the Northwest FASA Credits in an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of Restricted Payments Worldspan is permitted to make under (A) the Indenture pursuant to Sections 4.07(a) and 4.07(b)(11) thereof and (B) any other agreement, indenture or instrument pursuant to which any Additional Notes that constitute Designated Senior Debt have been issued pursuant to sections of such agreement, indenture or instrument similar to Sections 4.07(a) and 4.07(b)(11) of the Indenture, which other agreement, indenture or instrument shall contain no greater restrictions on the amount of Restricted Payments Worldspan is permitted to make in respect of the Northwest FASA Credits than those contained in the Indenture, but in no event will any such payment of Northwest FASA Credits to Northwest under this subsection (3) occur earlier than ninety (90) days following the Northwest Continuing Payment Termination; provided, that in the event of a Worldspan Bankruptcy, any extension or payment in respect of Northwest FASA Credits hereunder (other than Permitted FASA Credits) shall be subject to the Northwest Subordination Agreement.
30
The amount of the Northwest Continuing Payment that Worldspan is permitted to pay to Northwest from time to time as a “Restricted Payment” pursuant to the terms of the preceding subsections (2) and (3) and the amount of the Delta Continuing Payment that Worldspan is permitted to pay to Delta from time to time as a “Restricted Payment” pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.4(d)(2) and (3) of the Delta Services Agreement shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Permitted FASA Credit Amount”. In the event that both a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or a Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, as the case may be, and a Delta Continuing Payment Termination or a Worldspan Bankruptcy Delta FASA Rejection, as the case may be, have occurred, any payments made by Worldspan to Northwest pursuant to this Section 4.4(d) shall be equal to 50% of the Permitted FASA Credit Amount until such time as the Delta Continuing Payment is paid and/or recouped in full and thereafter shall be equal to 100% of the Permitted FASA Credit Amount. In no event shall Worldspan be required to pay Northwest any amount in excess of the Northwest Continuing Payment following a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or a Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, as the case may be.
Upon the occurrence of a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or a Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, as the case may be, Worldspan agrees that neither it nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) will make any Restricted Payment pursuant to the “Restricted Payment” covenant contained in the Indenture or any Additional Note Indenture (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 4.07(a) of the Indenture or a corollary provision contained in any Additional Note Indenture) to any Person other than Northwest for so long as any portion of the Northwest Continuing Payment remains outstanding to Northwest, except for payments (i) to Delta pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Delta Services Agreement and (ii) pursuant to Sections 4.07(b)(1) through (10) of the Indenture or any corollary provision contained in any Additional Note Indenture. Upon the occurrence of a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or a Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, as the case may be, if Worldspan does not pay the Northwest Continuing Payment in full to Northwest within one year of such event, then, until such time as the Northwest Continuing Payment is paid in full to Northwest (such period of time, the “Payment Block Period”), (i) neither TTPC nor Worldspan nor any of their respective controlled Affiliates will pay any management or advisory fees (or other fees of a similar nature with different names) to Citigroup Venture Capital Equity Partners, L.P. or any of its Affiliates (collectively, “CVC”) or to Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board or any of its Affiliates (collectively, “OTPP”), other than the reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses and the payment of fees and reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses for the provision by any Affiliate of CVC to TTPC or Worldspan or any of their respective controlled Affiliates of commercial banking or lending services, investment banking or other similar services (other than pursuant to the Advisory Agreement) on terms that are no less favorable to TTPC or Worldspan, or any of their respective controlled Affiliates, as applicable, than those that would have been obtained by an unaffiliated party and that are approved in good faith by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of TTPC or Worldspan, as applicable, (ii) TTPC will not make any dividend payments (except for
31
stock dividends (other than Disqualified Stock)) on its Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or any other equity securities of TTPC to CVC or OTPP, and (iii) neither TTPC nor Worldspan nor any of their respective controlled Affiliates will pay any director fees to any director on the Board of TTPC or Worldspan or any of their respective controlled Affiliates who is employed by or is a consultant to CVC or OTPP during the Payment Block Period or was employed by or was a consultant to CVC or OTPP at any time during the six months prior to the Payment Block Period (the “Sponsor Directors”), other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses. As used herein, the “Indenture” means the Indenture, dated as of the date hereof, among Worldspan, the subsidiary guarantors and Bank of New York, as trustee; and the terms “Restricted Payment” and “Restricted Payments” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture or any Additional Note Indenture, provided that if such Indenture or Additional Note Indenture is amended in a manner such that the “Restricted Payment” covenants contained therein are made less restrictive from Worldspan’s viewpoint with respect to Worldspan’s ability to make payments to Northwest pursuant to Section 4.4 of this Agreement under such Indenture (for example, an increase of the “Restricted Payment” general basket amount), the terms “Restricted Payment” and “Restricted Payments” shall be deemed to incorporate such amendments.
(e) Termination of FASA without Cause.
(1) If a Northwest General Termination or a Northwest Bankruptcy FASA Rejection occurs, (A) Worldspan’s obligation with respect to Northwest FASA Credits (including to pay or otherwise provide or accrue Northwest FASA Credits and to pay any FASA Cash Payments and FASA Credit Excess Amount, but not including, subject to clause (B) below, obligations with respect to Northwest FASA Credits that have already been earned by Northwest pursuant to Section 4.4(a) hereof) shall cease, and (B) the amount of the last Northwest FASA Credit to which Northwest is entitled with respect to the last calendar month of the Term shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product of (i) the amount set forth in column B of such table directly opposite the calendar month in which the termination occurs, multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (A) the number of days remaining in such calendar month following the date on which such termination occurs, divided by (B) the total number of days in such calendar month, plus (y) the sum of any Recoupment Amount, any Northwest Indemnity Claim Amount and any Northwest FASA Claim Amount expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.4(b) hereof that has not previously been deducted from Northwest FASA Credits, FASA Credit Excess Amounts or FASA Cash Payments.
(2) In the event that Worldspan wrongfully terminates this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that any termination by Worldspan other than as expressly permitted as a result of an Event of Default with respect to Northwest pursuant to Section 7.2(a) hereof would be wrongful), Worldspan’s obligations under Section 4.4(a) hereof shall survive such termination except that, instead of receiving Northwest FASA Credits against amounts otherwise payable by
32
Northwest to Worldspan pursuant to Article 4 hereof, on the first Business Day of each applicable calendar month following the effective date of such termination, Worldspan shall pay directly to Northwest the amount set forth in column B of the table in Schedule 4.4(a) hereto directly opposite the applicable month in column A thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as Northwest may from time to time designate in writing in accordance with Section 9.10 of this Agreement.
(f) Subordination. The provision of Northwest FASA Credits or payment of cash in lieu thereof is subject to the terms of the Northwest Subordination Agreement.
Section 4.5 Payment Terms. The following payment terms shall be applicable with respect to all amounts payable to Worldspan pursuant to this Agreement:
(a) Promptly after the end of each calendar month, Worldspan shall invoice Northwest for all amounts that Worldspan reasonably estimates, based on the information available to it at that time, are payable to Worldspan hereunder for that month, and including in such invoice any Monthly Credit Amount to be applied against the amount otherwise payable pursuant to such invoice, as well as any additional amounts or credits that may be necessary to reconcile the estimated amounts invoiced for previous months with the actual amounts payable hereunder for those months. All such amounts shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after Northwest’s receipt of an invoice therefor and shall be paid by wire transfer into such bank account as may be reasonably designated by Worldspan from time to time.
(b) All amounts payable to Worldspan pursuant to this Agreement shall be invoiced and paid in United States dollars.
(c) Any amount payable to either party hereunder that is not paid when due, and any amount that is erroneously paid to either party and is not repaid within thirty (30) days after that party is given written notice that the other party believes that the payment of such amount was erroneous, shall thereafter bear interest until paid or repaid, as the case may be, at a rate of interest that in no event shall exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, but otherwise (i) shall be equal to two percent (2%) per annum more than the Prime Rate as of the date such amount was due until thirty (30) days after the date upon which the party claiming payment or repayment, as the case may be, gives the other written notice that the payment or repayment, as the case may be, of such amount is delinquent, and (ii) thereafter shall be equal to four percent (4%) per annum more than the Prime Rate as of the date such amount was due; provided, however, that this Section 4.5(c) shall not apply to Northwest FASA Credits which Worldspan is obligated to provide hereunder.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5, if either party hereto reasonably and in good faith disputes that any portion of any amount claimed by the other is payable or has been erroneously paid, as the case may be, then that party shall timely pay to the other any undisputed portion of the amount claimed by the other, but may, after
33
giving the other written notice specifying the disputed amount and the basis for the dispute in reasonable detail, pay the disputed amount into an Escrow Account, in which event the disputed amount shall be considered to have been at that time paid or repaid, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Section 4.5 and Section 7.2(a) hereof. Upon resolution of such dispute, any portion of the disputed amount that is determined to have been payable or erroneously paid, as the case may be, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be disbursed to the claiming party and any remaining portion of the disputed amount, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be disbursed to the other party.
Section 4.6 Taxes. Northwest shall be responsible for, and shall promptly pay or reimburse Worldspan for the payment of, all sales, use, excise, value-added or similar taxes, assessments, or duties (or other similar charges) imposed by any government agency (including any interest and penalties imposed thereon as a result of any act or omission of Worldspan that is in accordance with the direction or request of Northwest) that are based upon or with respect to any services or goods provided by Worldspan or its subsidiaries for the Northwest Service Users or the amounts payable to Worldspan or its subsidiaries therefor, but not including any taxes that are based upon or with respect to the income of Worldspan. Worldspan shall cooperate with Northwest in minimizing, but shall not be required to pay, any such taxes for which Northwest is responsible and, upon Northwest’s reasonable request and at Northwest’s expense, shall (i) refuse to pay any such taxes if permissible under applicable law in connection with the protest of the taxes, (ii) pay any such taxes under protest, (iii) pay any such taxes and seek a refund of the taxes, and (iv) allow Northwest to participate in the response to and settlement of any claims for or disputes regarding any such taxes.
Section 4.7 Recoupment and Set Off. Except for the recoupment rights specified under Sections 4.4(a) - (d) and 4.5(a) hereof or in this Section 4.7, neither party may recoup, set off or otherwise apply any amount payable by that party hereunder against any other amount that may be payable to or claimed by that party, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. To the extent that the provisions of Sections 4.4(a) - (d) and 4.5(a) are not treated as a credit discount or rebate, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the parties intend for the provisions of Sections 4.4(a) - (d) and 4.5(a) to confer rights of recoupment to the applicable parties as specified therein; provided, that in the event that such rights of recoupment are not upheld by applicable law or a court of competent jurisdiction, then the parties intend for the provisions of Sections 4.4(a) - (d) and 4.5(c) to confer rights of setoff to the applicable parties in lieu of such recoupment rights in the same manner and to the same extent as specified therein and, to that end, all references to “recoupment,” “recouped” and “Recoupment Amount” in such sections and in Section 4.4(d) shall be read as “setoff,” “set off” and “Setoff Amount” as the case may be.
SOFTWARE OWNERSHIP AND RIGHTS
Section 5.1 Ownership of Improvements. As between the parties hereto, all Improvements (other than Northwest Retained Independent Improvements), including all
34
copyright, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property rights related thereto, shall be owned by and be the property of Worldspan. With respect to any Northwest Independent Improvement developed by Northwest’s own internal resources or developed by or otherwise acquired from third parties, prior to the incorporation thereof into the Worldspan System, Northwest shall execute, and shall cause any such third party to execute, such instruments, agreements and other documents as Worldspan may reasonably request in order to transfer and assign to Worldspan (i) unless such Northwest Independent Improvement is a Northwest Retained Independent Improvement, any and all right title and interest in and to such Northwest Independent Improvement, or (ii) if such Northwest Independent Improvement is a Northwest Retained Independent Improvement, any and all rights and interests in and to that Northwest Retained Independent Improvement that Worldspan may reasonably require in order to enable Worldspan to perform its obligations under this Agreement and, if and when such Northwest Independent Improvement is not Northwest Exclusive Use Software, any other Designated Airline Services Agreement, including a continuing right and license to use that Northwest Independent Improvement, both during and after the Term, as contemplated by this Agreement. Northwest hereby grants to Worldspan a present, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except to a Person to which Worldspan assigns this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof) license, effective without any further action, to use the Northwest Retained Independent Improvements to perform its obligations under this Agreement and, if and when such Northwest Independent Improvement is not Northwest Exclusive Use Software, any other Designated Airline Services Agreement, including a continuing right and license to use that Northwest Independent Improvement, both during and after the Term, as contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 5.2 Worldspan Outsourcing Rights. In addition to any other rights that Worldspan may have and subject to obtaining any necessary consents from third parties, Worldspan shall be entitled, subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.2, to grant to any responsible third party the right to have access to all or any portion of the Worldspan Software, including any Northwest Exclusive Use Software and Northwest Independent Improvements, for the purpose of allowing such third party to provide services to or on behalf of Worldspan. However, notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence, Worldspan shall not enter into any contract or arrangement pursuant to which any third party will have responsibility for management and technical execution, on behalf of Worldspan, of any portion of the Airline Services provided for the Northwest Service Users hereunder, if that contract or arrangement could reasonably be expected to have a significant impact on Northwest, without the approval of Northwest, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 5.3 Northwest Exclusive Use Software. Notwithstanding Worldspan’s ownership thereof, Northwest Exclusive Use Software, including both that set forth on Schedule 5.3 hereto and any designated by Northwest pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.6 hereof, shall be used by or on behalf of Worldspan only for purposes of providing services to the Northwest Service Users and shall not be used by Worldspan for any other purpose except with the prior written consent of Northwest or as may be required by binding and applicable laws, regulations and industry rules. The parties will meet at least annually to review the then current Northwest Exclusive Use Software and to consider making portions of the Northwest Exclusive Use
35
Software available, on mutually acceptable business terms (which may include payments to Northwest), for use by or on behalf of Worldspan to provide services for Worldspan, other Served Designated Airlines, or other Persons. If and when Northwest, in its sole discretion, consents (other than as indicated on Schedule 5.3 hereto) to release any portion of the Northwest Exclusive Use Software so that such portion will be available for Worldspan’s use to provide services for Persons other than the Northwest Service Users, then if Northwest so specifies at that time, that consent may be restricted so that Worldspan may use the released portion of the Northwest Exclusive Use Software to provide services for any other Persons, or categories of Persons, so designated by Northwest, but may not use that portion of the Northwest Exclusive Use Software for any other additional purpose. However, if Northwest does not specify that the consent is so restricted at that time, then that consent shall be considered unrestricted so that the released portion of the Northwest Exclusive Use Software shall thereupon cease to be Northwest Exclusive Use Software and Worldspan’s use thereof shall no longer be restricted by the provisions of this Section 5.3. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Northwest shall not be entitled to designate as Northwest Exclusive Use Software, and the Northwest Exclusive Use Software shall not include, any software that (i) impacts the functionality (as defined in subsection (a) of the definition of “Change” in Schedule 1.3 hereto) or display of any CRS operated by Worldspan, (ii) precludes the practical development, at the same or less cost, of similar functionality for the use of other Persons, or (iii) cannot be used only for the Northwest Service Users without violating binding and applicable laws, regulations or industry rules, based upon the reasonable analysis of Worldspan’s counsel, a written explanation of which shall be provided to Northwest.
Section 5.4 Escrow of Worldspan Software. Upon the written request of Northwest at any time during the Term, at the expense of Northwest and subject to applicable laws and regulations and the appropriate party having obtained any necessary consents from third parties, Worldspan shall deposit with a third party escrow agent reasonably selected by Northwest and reasonably acceptable to Worldspan, for archival and backup purposes and the permitted release set forth in this Section 5.4 only, a fully executable copy of the Worldspan Software then being used by Worldspan to provide Airline Services for the Northwest Service Users, including all related documentation and databases, and shall thereafter regularly update such deposit on a weekly or other mutually agreeable basis. Any such deposit shall be pursuant to a written escrow agreement among the escrow agent, Northwest, and Worldspan which requires that the escrow agent keep the deposited material confidential and not disclose it to anyone or use it for any purpose other than for archival and backup purposes, except that Northwest may, subject to applicable laws and regulations and the appropriate party having obtained any necessary consents, withdraw the applicable portion(s) of the deposited material from escrow, pursuant to the mutually agreed upon procedure set forth in the escrow agreement, if and when Northwest, acting reasonably and in good faith, delivers to the escrow agent, with a copy to Worldspan, a certification that Worldspan is then obligated, but has failed, to deliver to Northwest a copy of the applicable deposited material. Upon the withdrawal of any of the deposited material from escrow, Northwest may use only the portion of the withdrawn material as to which a license is exercisable pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof, and such use of such withdrawn material shall be subject to the provisions of the license granted under this Agreement, including Sections 5.5 and 5.6 of this Agreement. Worldspan shall inform Northwest of any consents from third parties that
36
are required in order for Northwest to withdraw the deposited material from escrow or make any use thereof. Northwest hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining any such consents, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 5.6(a) hereof. In addition to the indemnity provided for in Section 8.1(b)(5) hereof, Northwest agrees to take any action, including without limitation returning the deposited material to Worldspan, ceasing to make any use of the deposited material, and paying any required amounts to third parties (except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 5.6(a) hereof), that may be necessary to allow Worldspan to comply with any injunction or other court order related to, to allow Worldspan to comply with any agreement it has signed with a third party for the use of, and/or for Worldspan to retain its license and right to use, any Worldspan Software licensed from a third party if and to the extent that the requirement for any such action arises out of or in connection with any alleged breach by Worldspan of any agreement with a third party as a result of any such escrow, withdrawal, or use. Northwest acknowledges that the other Served Designated Airlines may have and exercise similar software escrow rights and hereby releases Worldspan, its officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, and contractors, from any claims arising out of or in connection with any breach of Worldspan’s obligations hereunder resulting from or in connection with Worldspan’s compliance with such software escrow rights.
Section 5.5 License to Worldspan Software. Subject to applicable laws and regulations and to obtaining any necessary consents, Worldspan hereby grants to Northwest a present license, effective without any further action, which license shall be:
(a) Exercisable from and after the giving of any applicable notice that Northwest, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(c) hereof, will discontinue obtaining from Worldspan any Airline Services for Northwest and the other Northwest Service Users, to use, to the extent permitted by Section 5.6 hereof, any portion of the Worldspan Software that is then being used by Worldspan to provide the Airline Services being discontinued (including any Northwest Dedicated Improvements thereto that are incomplete or are not then being operated by Worldspan and that are reasonably available to Worldspan) and with respect to which Worldspan has the right to grant such a license to Northwest.
(b) Exercisable during any period that Northwest is entitled to, and exercises its right to, obtain substitute services from a third party pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.3(c) or 9.2 hereof, to use, to the extent permitted by Section 5.6 hereof, any portion of the Worldspan Software that is required to provide such substitute services (as well as any other Worldspan Software that may be reasonably requested by Northwest in order to replace or restore such substitute services) and with respect to which Worldspan has the right to grant such a license to Northwest.
(c) Exercisable from and after the giving of any applicable notice of the termination of this Agreement for any reason (including any notice that the Term will not be extended beyond the Initial Expiration Date or any anniversary thereof in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof), to use, to the extent permitted by Section 5.6 hereof, any portion of the Worldspan Software that is then being used by Worldspan to provide Airline Services for the Northwest Service Users (including any Northwest Dedicated Improvements thereto that are incomplete or are not then being operated by Worldspan and that are
37
reasonably available to Worldspan) and with respect to which Worldspan has the right to grant such a license to Northwest.
(d) Exercisable from and after any written request from Northwest, to use the User Requirements associated with any portion so requested by Northwest of the Worldspan Software that is then being used by Worldspan to provide Airline Services for the Northwest Service Users (including any prior versions of such Worldspan Software and any Northwest Dedicated Improvements thereto that are incomplete or are not then being operated by Worldspan), as long as such User Requirements are reasonably available to Worldspan and Worldspan has the right to grant such a license thereto. Any User Requirements to which a license becomes exercisable pursuant to this Section 5.5(d) may be used free of any restrictions hereunder, except that Northwest may not use or permit other Persons to use any User Requirements obtained from Worldspan hereunder to create a computer system for the purpose of providing CRS Services or Internal Reservations Services. If the User Requirements associated with any Worldspan Software requested by Northwest do not exist or are not reasonably available to Worldspan, then Worldspan will cooperate with Northwest to create such User Requirements at Northwest’s reasonable direction and expense, which expenses will be considered Cost Recovery Amounts for Development Services.
Upon the reasonable request of Northwest at any time during the Term and, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.6(a) hereof, at the expense of Northwest, Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts to obtain from third parties on the best available terms any consents necessary to allow any applicable Worldspan Software to be licensed to Northwest hereunder. Worldspan agrees that when obtaining any additional Worldspan Software from third parties, Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts (which shall not require the payment of additional consideration) to obtain such software on terms and conditions that permit Worldspan to grant Northwest a license to such software as provided in this Section 5.5 without any additional consents or payments and that, except as otherwise expressly contemplated by any Designated Airline Services Agreement, Worldspan shall use reasonable business efforts (which shall not require the payment of additional consideration) to not create any additional restrictions on any then existing Worldspan Software that would prohibit Worldspan from granting Northwest a license to such software as provided in this Section 5.5 without any additional consents or payments.
Section 5.6 License Terms and Conditions. Any license exercisable pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof to any portion of the Worldspan Software, including all related documentation, in existence (the “Licensed Software”) shall be perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable (except to a Person to which Northwest assigns this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof) and shall be subject to, and the parties shall comply with, the following terms and conditions:
(a) There shall be no charge to Northwest for such license, except that Northwest shall pay, or reimburse Worldspan for, any payments to third parties required in connection with such license, unless such license becomes effective as a result of a
38
Termination at Worldspan’s Expense, in which event Worldspan shall pay, or reimburse Northwest for, any commercially reasonable Software Consent Costs (but not any ongoing or recurring payments) required in connection with such license; provided, however, that the total amount that Worldspan may be required to pay, or reimburse Northwest for, under this subsection (a) shall not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate.
(b) Upon the request and at the expense of Northwest, Worldspan shall promptly deliver to Northwest a fully executable copy of the Licensed Software, including all related databases. In the event that, along with the Licensed Software, Worldspan delivers to Northwest additional Worldspan Software that cannot be readily separated from the Licensed Software, Northwest agrees that it shall not be authorized to, and shall not, use any such additional Worldspan Software for any purpose and that Worldspan shall be entitled to from time to time, at its expense and in a manner that does not unduly disrupt Northwest’s operations, replace the Licensed Software with a fully executable copy thereof that replaces the prior copy of the Licensed Software in all respects but does not include such additional Worldspan Software. Northwest shall be authorized to make additional copies of the Licensed Software for the purposes permitted herein and may make derivative works from such copies. Any such additional copies and derivative works shall be considered part of the Licensed Software.
(c) The Licensed Software may be used only (i) for the internal purposes of the Northwest Service Users and Strategic Partners of Northwest, which internal purposes shall in either case be associated with the air transportation businesses of the Northwest Service Users and Strategic Partners of Northwest, and (ii) for providing Airline Support Services for any Persons. Except as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Licensed Software may not be used by Northwest or any other Northwest Service User or any other Person to conduct any enterprise or business in competition with Worldspan, including, without limitation, operating, maintaining, creating, enhancing, or enlarging a CRS, providing CRS Services to any Person, or providing Internal Reservations Services to any Person other than a Northwest Service User or a Strategic Partner of Northwest.
(d) The Licensed Software shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed to anyone other than employees of Northwest and other Persons to whom such disclosure has been authorized by Worldspan, including any third party from whom Northwest is entitled to obtain substitute services pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.3(c) or 9.2 hereof, but only during any period that Northwest is so entitled to obtain such substitute services. However, Northwest shall have the right to from time to time have the Licensed Software operated on behalf of Northwest, for the purposes permitted by this Agreement, by a third party that has executed and delivered to Worldspan a written commitment, containing terms consistent with the provisions of Section 6.2(b) hereof, to keep the Licensed Software confidential and not use it for any purpose other than as permitted by this Section 5.6.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.6 to the contrary, any license exercisable pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof shall become transferable and the provisions of
39
subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 5.6 shall no longer be applicable or enforceable if and when Worldspan is dissolved and its affairs wound up.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each party hereto acknowledges that any violation of the provisions of this Section 5.6 may cause irreparable injury to the other party and that, in addition to any other remedies available to it, the other party may be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance, and other equitable remedies.
(g) If requested by either party hereto, the parties shall execute and deliver such additional documents as either party hereto may reasonably determine is necessary or advisable to properly document any license that becomes exercisable pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.5 hereof. However, any failure to execute and deliver any such additional documents shall not affect the validity of any such license.

Any such audit will be conducted during regular business hours at Worldspan’s offices. If any such audit reveals that the amounts paid to Worldspan by Northwest pursuant to this Agreement have been greater than, or less than, the amounts actually due to Worldspan pursuant to this Agreement, then Worldspan shall promptly give Northwest a credit, or charge Northwest, for the amount by which such paid amounts are greater than, or less than, such amounts actually due.

Section 7.2 Termination Upon an Event of Default. In the event that an Event of Default, as described below, with respect to either party hereto has occurred and is continuing, then the other party hereto may terminate this Agreement by giving the defaulting party prior written notice of such termination, specifying in reasonable detail the reason for the termination, and the date upon which the termination will be effective. Any such notice given while the applicable Event of Default is continuing shall remain valid and in effect even though the default or failure resulting in the Event of Default may thereafter be cured.
(a) An Event of Default with respect to Northwest shall mean that Northwest has defaulted in making any payment hereunder when the same became due and payable and has not cured such default (including by paying any disputed amounts into an Escrow Account to the extent so authorized in Section 4.5(d) hereof) within thirty (30) days after being given written notice thereof by Worldspan, which notice shall describe the default in reasonable detail. However, if this Agreement is being terminated by Worldspan as a result of an Event of Default with respect to Northwest, then Northwest may, by giving Worldspan written notice thereof prior to the termination date specified in the Worldspan termination notice, elect to extend the Term, on a month-to-month basis, beyond the termination date specified in the Worldspan termination notice to a date that is no later than twelve (12) months after the Worldspan Termination Notice Date; provided, however, that:
(1) As a condition to so extending the Term, Northwest shall pay to Worldspan, (i) on or before the first (1st) and the fifteenth (15th) day of each of the first four calendar months after the Worldspan Termination Notice Date, an amount equal to one-eighth (1/8th) of all amounts payable to Worldspan hereunder that are past due as of the Worldspan Termination Notice Date, including any interest accrued thereon, (ii) on or before the respective due dates therefor, all other amounts payable to Worldspan hereunder for services rendered prior to the calendar month in which the Worldspan Termination Notice Date occurs, (iii) on or before the last day of the calendar month in which the Worldspan Termination Notice Date occurs, (but no earlier than fifteen (15) days after being given written notice of such amount), an amount equal to Worldspan’s reasonable estimate of the total amount payable to Worldspan pursuant to this Agreement for such month, and (iv) on or before the first day of each calendar month after the Worldspan Termination Notice Date (but no earlier than fifteen (15) days after being given written notice of such amount), an amount equal to Worldspan’s reasonable estimate of the total amount payable to Worldspan pursuant to this Agreement for such month. In the event that Northwest fails to pay any such amount by the applicable date specified above, then Worldspan shall be entitled to cease providing any or all of the services being provided hereunder immediately and without any further notice to Northwest and this Agreement shall thereupon be terminated.
(2) After being given notice of such termination, Northwest shall be obligated to pay an Additional Charge as provided in Section 4.2 hereof.
43
(b) An Event of Default with respect to Worldspan shall mean that:
(1) Worldspan’s performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group has failed to meet an applicable Minimum Performance Standard and, after Worldspan has been given written notice by Northwest of Northwest’s intention to terminate this Agreement as a result of such failure, that failure has not been Cured at any time during the cure period for that Minimum Performance Standard specified in Section 4 of Schedule 2.2 hereto or at any time thereafter;
(2) Worldspan’s performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group has failed to meet an applicable Intermediate Performance Standard and, after Worldspan has been given written notice by Northwest of Northwest’s intention to terminate this Agreement as a result of such failure, that failure has not been Cured at any time during the [**] period following such notice or at any time thereafter; or
(3) Worldspan’s performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group has failed to meet (i) the same applicable Intermediate Performance Standard and/or Minimum Performance Standard on [**] occasions during any [**] period, or (ii) any [**] applicable Intermediate Performance Standards and/or Minimum Performance Standards on [**] occasions during any [**] period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Northwest gives Worldspan written notice of Northwest’s intention to terminate this Agreement as a result of Worldspan’s failure to meet an Intermediate Performance Standard or Minimum Performance Standard, then Worldspan shall have a period of thirty (30) days thereafter to provide Northwest with a reasonable written explanation that (i) any of the relevant information relating to Worldspan’s historical performance of the applicable Airline Services enclosed with the letter, dated February 28, 2003, from Xxxxx X. Lauderdale, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President – Worldwide Technical Operations, of Worldspan to TTPC, is inaccurate, and (ii) as a result of such inaccuracy, Worldspan would not reasonably have been expected to meet such Intermediate Performance Standard or Minimum Performance Standard at the time of such failure. If both of these facts are established to the reasonable satisfaction of Northwest or pursuant to the dispute resolution process contemplated by Section 8.5 hereof, then (i) for purposes of this Section 7.2(b), the relevant failure to meet the applicable Intermediate Performance Standard or Minimum Performance Standard will be forgiven and deemed not to have occurred, and (ii) neither the provisions of Section 2.2(d) hereof nor the provisions of Section 7.4(c) hereof will be applicable.
Section 7.3 Termination of Northwest Service User. In the event that any Northwest Service User, other than Northwest or any other Northwest Service User that is an Air Carrier or

44
is an Affiliate of Northwest, fails to comply with any applicable provision hereof, and that failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after Worldspan gives Northwest written notice describing the failure in reasonable detail, then Worldspan may discontinue providing any Airline Services for that Northwest Service User.

(1) To the extent reasonably requested by Northwest, Worldspan shall continue to provide any or all of the Airline Services then being provided for the Northwest Service Users [**]; subject, however, to Northwest continuing to perform its related obligations hereunder and paying in a timely manner all Cost-Based Charges and, if applicable, Additional Charges relating to those services to the same extent as if those services had been performed during the Term.
(2) Upon the reasonable request of Northwest from time to time during the applicable notice period, Worldspan shall deliver to Northwest [**].

(c) In the event that this Agreement is being terminated as the result of a Termination at Worldspan’s Expense, then Worldspan shall be responsible for:
(1) All Breakage Costs;

Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Term shall end and each provision of this Agreement whose applicability is limited to the Term, either expressly or by reasonable implication, shall no longer be applicable (provided that such termination will not relieve any party of any obligation for any breach of this Agreement prior to termination).

8.5, 9.2, 9.7, 9.8, and 9.15 of this Agreement, the exclusive remedies of Northwest, on behalf of itself and all other Northwest Service Users, regardless of the success or effectiveness of such exclusive remedies or any other provision of this Agreement, for any Deficiency constituting a breach by Worldspan of an obligation specified in this Agreement shall be as follows:
(a) In the event that there occurs any Deficiency with respect to this Agreement and Northwest reasonably and in good faith determines and notifies Worldspan that such Deficiency could adversely affect the operations, business, or revenues of the Northwest Service Users in any material respect, then, upon Northwest’s reasonable request and at no additional cost to Northwest, the following shall occur:
[**]
(b) In the event that Worldspan’s performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group fails to meet any applicable Intermediate Performance Standard or Minimum Performance Standard, there occurs any breach with respect to the provisions of Section 2.6 hereof, or there occurs any other Deficiency with respect to this Agreement that adversely affects the operations, business, or revenues of the Northwest Service Users in any material respect, then, upon Northwest’s reasonable request and at no cost to Northwest in addition to the Cost-Based Charges payable by Northwest hereunder, Worldspan shall redirect its resources in order to eliminate or alleviate such Deficiency to the fullest extent practical, giving due consideration and treating fairly its other obligations and priorities, including any other Deficiencies with respect to this or any other Designated Airline Services Agreement. In the event that Worldspan fails to cooperate with Northwest with regard to such Deficiency, or in the event that the Deficiency is otherwise not eliminated or alleviated, to Northwest’s reasonable satisfaction, within a reasonable period of time after Worldspan has been notified of the Deficiency, then Northwest shall have the right to resort to the dispute resolution procedures provided in Section 8.5 hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of the Master Arbitration Agreement to the contrary and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Northwest’s exclusive remedy from such dispute resolution procedures shall be to require Worldspan to redirect its resources in order to eliminate or alleviate such Deficiency, as described in this Section 8.3(b), and the arbitrator(s) shall be entitled to award temporary, interim or final equitable relief in support of such remedy.
[**] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion, redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.

(d) If and for as long as Worldspan’s performance of Airline Services for the Northwest Service User Group fails to meet any applicable Intermediate Performance Standard or Minimum Performance Standard, the notice period specified in Section 2.1(c) hereof for discontinuing the Airline Services for which the Intermediate Performance Standard or Minimum Performance Standard has been so failed shall be shortened from [**].
(e) Northwest shall not be entitled to contest the Cost-Based Charges payable pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the amounts referred to in Section 4.3 hereof, or any other charge provided hereunder to be paid on the basis of Worldspan’s cost, except on the grounds that (i) a miscalculation or accounting error was made by Worldspan, (ii) the applicable cost was not incurred in good faith in the reasonable conduct of Worldspan’s business, (iii) such cost was not attributable to the performance of the Airline Services as contemplated by Schedule 4.1 hereto, (iv) Worldspan’s judgment with respect to the application of the Cost Collection and Allocation Methodology is not in accordance with the principles set forth in Schedule 4.1 hereto, or (v) the application of the Cost Collection and Allocation Methodology, considered as a whole, does not comply with the requirements of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 4.5(d) hereof with respect to any amounts reasonably and in good faith disputed, Northwest shall pay to Worldspan all amounts invoiced to Northwest in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If any dispute with respect to any such amount is not resolved to each party’s satisfaction within a reasonable period of time after Northwest has notified Worldspan of the dispute, then either party shall have the right to resort to the dispute resolution procedures provided in Section 8.5 hereof.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall not apply to any Deficiency with respect to this Agreement that results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Worldspan, the breach by Worldspan of its confidentiality obligations pursuant to Section 6.1 and 6.2(a) hereof, the indemnities set forth in Section 8.1(a)

54
validity, scope and enforceability of this provision), then, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, such dispute shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be solely and finally settled pursuant to the terms of the Master Arbitration Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by or against the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither party hereto may assign or transfer (including by operation of law) this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other to any Person other than a Person that (i) acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the assigning party, and (ii) either agrees, or by operation of law is required, to comply with and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as the assigning party.
Section 9.2 Force Majeure. Neither party hereto shall be responsible or liable for, and that party shall be excused from, any non-performance or delay in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder if and to the extent that such non-performance or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and is caused by factors beyond the reasonable control of that party, whether or not foreseeable, which factors could include, to the extent that they are consistent with the foregoing, any Operational Emergency or any failure by the other party to perform its obligations hereunder. However, neither party’s financial condition or inability to pay shall be a basis for excusing the performance of any of that party’s obligations hereunder. No non-performance or delay in the performance of the obligations of either party that is excused pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall constitute a default hereof, be a basis for disputing or withholding amounts payable hereunder, or result in an Event of Default with respect to such party. However, the parties acknowledge that any failure or delay in the performance of Worldspan may reduce the amount of Shared Resource Measurement Units provided or processed by Worldspan hereunder and, therefore, reduce the Cost-Based Charges that would otherwise be payable to Worldspan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof. In the event that either party hereto is excused from the performance of its obligations hereunder pursuant to this Section 9.2, then that party shall use all efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to resume performance of its obligations hereunder as soon as feasible. In the event that Worldspan is excused from the performance of any of its obligations hereunder
55
pursuant to this Section 9.2 and, as a result thereof, Northwest’s normal business operations are materially interrupted, then (i) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Northwest shall be entitled to immediately obtain substitute services from a third party, on an interim basis, until Worldspan is able to resume performance of such obligations, and shall also be entitled to use, or permit such third party to use, the Licensed Software pursuant to Section 5.5(b) hereof in order to provide such substitute services, and (ii) if such non-performance continues for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days, then at any time thereafter Northwest may, by giving Worldspan prior written notice thereof, terminate this Agreement as of a date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that any such notice must be given prior to the time that Worldspan resumes performance of its obligations hereunder. It is understood and agreed that a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2 will not be considered or construed to be a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination, but instead will be a Northwest General Termination, for purposes of Section 4.4 hereof.
Section 9.3 Regulatory Compliance. All of the provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be subject to, and Worldspan and each Northwest Service User shall comply with, all ARC and IATA rules and regulations and all laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations that are binding and applicable to this Agreement and to the services provided hereunder. In no event shall Worldspan or any Northwest Service User be required to violate any such rule, regulation, law, statute, ordinance, or regulation.
Section 9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the schedules and exhibits hereto, each of which is incorporated herein for all purposes, and any documents, procedures, and practices referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any existing agreements between Northwest and Worldspan relating to the services to be provided by Worldspan hereunder and all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties or their affiliates or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Northwest Served Affiliate Agreement, dated as of April 30, 1993, between Northwest and Worldspan. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the provision of Northwest FASA Credits under Section 4.4 of this Agreement is a critical component of this Agreement and that undue prejudice to each party’s bargain would ensue if the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof were not performed by the other party hereto.
Section 9.5 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE ENFORCED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (OTHER THAN ITS RULES REGARDING CONFLICTS OF LAWS).
Section 9.6 Further Assurances. Worldspan and each Northwest Service User shall execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record such further certificates, instruments and documents, and do such other acts and things as may be required by law or be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out the full intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Northwest shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to allow Worldspan to obtain and protect copyright, patent and other intellectual property rights in the Worldspan Software and to obtain, at Northwest’s expense, any
56
governmental licenses or approvals required for Worldspan to properly perform its obligations hereunder that are solely attributable to the services that Worldspan provides for Northwest or any other Northwest Service User.
Section 9.7 Expenses. Each party hereto shall assume and pay its own expenses incident to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall pay all legal, accounting, consultants’ and advisers’ fees incurred by it, including brokers’ or investment banking fees relating to this Agreement and such transactions, and shall indemnify and hold the other free and harmless from any of such expenses and fees. No broker, finder, agent or similar intermediary has acted on behalf of either party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 9.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be for the benefit of the parties hereto and none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third party. However, Northwest shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the other Northwest Service Users.
Section 9.9 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment to this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and is signed by each of the parties hereto. The terms of this Agreement may be waived only by a written instrument signed by the party that would have been able to require compliance therewith. Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein, no delay on the part of either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver on the part of either party of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.
Section 9.10 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing (with a supplemental telephone call recommended with respect to any notice of default or termination hereunder, although the failure to make such a telephone call shall not affect the validity of any such notice) and shall be deemed given (i) when received, if delivered personally, (ii) on the next business day, if sent by overnight service prepaid with instructions for next business day delivery (receipt confirmed), or (iii) on the day of transmission, if telecopied, telegraphed or telexed (transmission confirmed) during the receiving party’s normal business hours, or on the next business day if sent pursuant to this subsection 9.10(iii) after the receiving party’s normal business hours, in each case to the applicable party at the following address and number (or to such other address and number as that party may have then previously specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

If any modification or amendment is made to the Founder Airline Services Agreement between Worldspan and any other Founder Airline that does not reasonably result from such differences between Northwest and that other Founder Airline, then Worldspan shall promptly notify

WHEREAS, Delta Air Lines, Inc., NWA Inc., American Airlines, Inc., and NewCRS Limited, Inc. (each, a Seller and collectively, the “Sellers”), Buyer and Worldspan have entered into the Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 3, 2003 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Buyer has acquired directly or indirectly all of the outstanding general partnership interests and limited partnership interests of Worldspan, and Sellers severally have caused the direct or indirect sale of such partnership interests to Buyer on the terms and conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, under the Northwest Founder Airline Services Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2003, by and between Northwest and Worldspan (the “Northwest Services Agreement”), Worldspan may from time to time recoup against its obligations to make certain payments or to provide certain credits thereunder by depositing with Escrow Agent amounts otherwise payable or deliverable to Northwest thereunder into an escrow account established on behalf of Northwest (the “Escrow Account”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to establish the Escrow Account on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Establishment of Escrow Fund.
1.1 (a) Subject to Section 1.1(b), from time to time, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Northwest Services Agreement, Worldspan may recoup against its obligations to make certain payments or to provide certain credits to Northwest thereunder by depositing with Escrow Agent into the Escrow Account all or a portion of the amount of such recoupments, payments or credits (each, a “Northwest FASA Deposit”). Escrow Agent shall notify Northwest and Buyer in writing of its receipt of each Northwest FASA Deposit promptly after receipt thereof.
4.4(b)(2)-1
(b) The cumulative aggregate amount that can be held in the Escrow Account shall not exceed an amount (the “Northwest Cap Amount”) equal to (i) $20,400,000, less (ii) the cumulative aggregate amount distributed to Buyer from the Escrow Account in connection with any Northwest Final Determination (as defined in Section 3.3) of any Northwest Indemnity Claim (as defined in Section 3.1) pursuant to Section 4.
1.2 (a) If at the time a Northwest General Termination or a Northwest Bankruptcy FASA Rejection, as the case may be, occurs (A) the sum of (i) the cumulative aggregate amount of funds held in the Escrow Account and (ii) the cumulative aggregate amount distributed to Buyer from the Escrow Account in connection with any Northwest Final Determination of any Northwest Indemnity Claim pursuant to Section 4 is less than (B) the smaller of $20,400,000 and, if the Northwest General Termination or the Northwest Bankruptcy FASA Rejection, as the case may be, occurs after September 30, 2004, the aggregate amount of all Northwest Indemnity Claims outstanding as of such date, then Northwest shall deposit with Escrow Agent into the Escrow Account, simultaneously with the Northwest General Termination or the Northwest Bankruptcy FASA Rejection, as the case may be, such shortfall amount. Simultaneously with such deposit, Northwest and Buyer shall notify Escrow Agent in writing that a Northwest General Termination or a Northwest Bankruptcy FASA Rejection, as the case may be, has occurred and that such deposit is being made pursuant to this Section 1.2(a).
(b) If at the time a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or a Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, as the case may be, occurs (A) the sum of (i) the cumulative aggregate amount of funds held in the Escrow Account and (ii) the cumulative aggregate amount distributed to Buyer from the Escrow Account in connection with any Northwest Final Determination of any Northwest Indemnity Claim pursuant to Section 4 is less than (B) the smaller of $20,400,000 and, if the Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, as the case may be, occurs after September 30, 2004, the aggregate amount of all Northwest Indemnity Claims outstanding as of such date, then all amounts payable by Worldspan to Northwest pursuant to a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, as the case may be, shall be deposited by Worldspan into the Escrow Account until the amount of funds so deposited shall equal such shortfall amount and, thereafter, all amounts payable by Worldspan to Northwest pursuant to a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or a Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, as the case may be, shall be paid to Northwest directly. Simultaneously with such deposit, Northwest and Buyer shall notify Escrow Agent in writing that a Northwest Continuing Payment Termination or Worldspan Bankruptcy Northwest FASA Rejection, as the case may be, has occurred and that such deposit is being made pursuant to this Section 1.2(b).
1.3 Escrow Agent agrees to hold, invest and dispose of all funds received pursuant to this Section 1 and any dividends, distributions, interest and other income accumulation or capital appreciation received therefrom (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Escrow Fund”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement.
1.4 The Escrow Fund is being held for the benefit of Northwest and Buyer as their interests may appear. Northwest’s and Buyer’s respective beneficial interests in the escrow
4.4(b)(2)-2
funds will be established pursuant to a Northwest Final Determination for all purposes, including the determination of the portion of such funds constituting property of a Northwest or Buyer bankruptcy estate. Any recoupments, payments or credits which are deposited into the Escrow Account shall be deemed to occur on the date of such deposit.
2. Investment of Escrow Fund; Accounting.
2.1 Escrow Agent shall invest all of the Escrow Fund (A) as designated by Northwest in writing to Escrow Agent in (i) short-term negotiable certificates of deposit (not in excess of sixty (60) days) in a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000; (ii) short-term commercial paper rated “prime-1” by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. and “A-1” by Standard & Poors Corporation; and/or (iii) short-term obligations of or guaranteed by the United States government or a money market fund whose investments are made strictly in obligations with remaining maturities of one year or less issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States government; and/or (B) in such other investments as may be specifically approved in a writing duly executed by Northwest and Buyer.
2.2 For the Escrow Fund, Escrow Agent shall maintain a ledger in Escrow Agent’s customary form setting forth (i) the amount of the Escrow Fund attributable to payments made into such escrow fund pursuant to Section 1 and (ii) the amount of the Escrow Fund attributable to dividends, distributions, interest and other income accumulation or capital appreciation in respect of such escrow fund.
3. Notice of Claims Against Northwest.
3.1 If Buyer shall assert a claim against NWA Inc. for any amount owing to Buyer pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement (“Northwest Indemnity Claim”), which Northwest Indemnity Claim can only be made to the extent permitted under the Purchase Agreement and which can only be made against payments and/or credits owed to Northwest under the Northwest Services Agreement to the extent permitted thereunder, Buyer shall give written notice of such Northwest Indemnity Claim (“Northwest Indemnity Claim Notice”) to each of Northwest and Escrow Agent; provided, however, that no Northwest Indemnity Claim may be asserted under this Escrow Agreement after September 30, 2004. Each Northwest Indemnity Claim Notice shall (i) indicate that a Northwest Indemnity Claim is being asserted, (ii) indicate the amount of Losses (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) which Buyer has suffered or is reasonably likely to suffer (“Northwest Indemnity Claim Amount”) and (iii) include a statement from Buyer that (x) Buyer has delivered to NWA Inc. written notice of such Northwest Indemnity Claim pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.2(f) of the Purchase Agreement and (y) if applicable, the Seller Mini-Basket Amount, the Seller General Basket Amount, the Worldspan Mini-Basket Amount or the Worldspan General Basket Amount has been exceeded in accordance with Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b), as applicable, of the Purchase Agreement.

4.4(b)(2)-3
Indemnity Claim and any Northwest Indemnity Claim Amounts to which Buyer and/or Northwest is entitled pursuant to the applicable Northwest Final Determination have been distributed to Buyer and/or Northwest, as the case may be.
3.3 As used herein, the term “Northwest Final Determination” shall mean, with respect to any Northwest Indemnity Claim, (i) a written compromise or settlement executed by Northwest and Buyer and, if required, approved by the court or arbitrator before which any such matter may be pending, or (ii) a final order, decree or judgment of an arbitrator or a court or agency of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America (the time for appeal having expired or no appeal having been taken) directing as to the disposition of such Northwest Indemnity Claim. Each Northwest Final Determination shall include the amount, if any, to be paid by Escrow Agent to Buyer and/or Northwest in respect of the applicable Northwest Indemnity Claim.
4. Delivery of Escrow Fund By Escrow Agent.

(c) All amounts held by Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account (other than amounts attributable to income or gain earned and received on or with respect to the Escrow

7. Duties etc. of Escrow Agent.
7.1 Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, modification, amendment, termination, cancellation or revision of this Escrow Agreement, unless any of the foregoing is in writing and signed by all other parties hereto, and, if Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder are affected, unless Escrow Agent shall have given its prior written consent thereto. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any assignment by any party hereto of its rights hereunder unless Escrow Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the assignor. Escrow Agent shall perform any acts ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. The obligations and duties of Escrow Agent are confined to those contained in this Escrow Agreement.
7.2 Escrow Agent makes no representation as to the validity, value, genuineness or collectibility of any security or other document or instrument held by or delivered to Escrow Agent.
7.3 Escrow Agent shall be entitled to the fees set forth in Exhibit A hereto for its services as Escrow Agent hereunder and to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket fees and other expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with (i) the performance of its duties hereunder and (ii) services required on account of disputes between Northwest, on the one hand, and Buyer and/or Worldspan, on the other hand. Buyer shall bear 50% of such fees and expenses and Northwest shall bear 50% of such fees and expenses. Escrow Agent shall deliver to Buyer and/or Northwest upon request a detailed accounting as to all fees and reimbursable expenses claimed by Escrow Agent.
7.4 Buyer and Northwest hereby severally agree to indemnify Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any and all claims, suits, actions, proceedings, investigations, judgments, deficiencies, damages, settlements, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of attorneys chosen by Escrow Agent) as and when incurred, arising out of or based upon any act, omission, alleged act or alleged omission by Escrow Agent or any other cause, in any case in connection with the acceptance of, or performance or non-performance by Escrow Agent of, any of Escrow Agent’s duties under this Escrow Agreement, except as a result of Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith or willful breach of this Escrow Agreement. The parties shall severally allocate the responsibility for the indemnity obligations contained in this Section 7.4 in the same manner as the responsibility for fees and expenses are allocated in Section 7.3. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement.
4.4(b)(2)-6
Except in cases of Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith or willful breach of this Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be fully protected by acting in reliance upon any certificate, statement, request, notice, advice, direction or other agreement or instrument or signature believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine, by assuming that any Person (as defined in Section 16.9) purporting to give Escrow Agent any of the foregoing in accordance with the provisions hereof, or in connection with either this Escrow Agreement or Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, has been duly authorized to do so, or by acting or failing to act in good faith on the advice of any counsel retained by Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or law or any error of judgment, or for any act or omission, except as a result of its willful misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith or willful breach of this Escrow Agreement.
7.5 Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatever in connection with its duties hereunder except for willful misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith or willful breach of this Escrow Agreement so long as it acts in good faith. In the event that Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, or shall receive any certificate, statement, request, notice, advice, direction or other agreement or instrument or signature from any other party with respect to the Escrow Fund, which, in Escrow Agent’s opinion, is in conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, or shall be advised that a dispute has arisen with respect to the payment, ownership or right of possession of the Escrow Fund or any part thereof (or as to the delivery, non-delivery or content of any certificate, statement, request, notice, advice, direction or other agreement or instrument or signature), Escrow Agent shall be entitled, without liability to any Person, to refrain from taking any action other than to use its reasonable efforts to keep safely the Escrow Fund, until Escrow Agent shall be directed otherwise in accordance herewith, but Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to institute or defend any proceeding, although Escrow Agent may, in its discretion and at the expense of the parties allocated severally in the same manner as the allocation of fees and expenses as provided in Section 7.3 hereof, institute or defend such proceedings.
7.6 If, at any time, there shall exist any dispute between Northwest, on the one hand, and Buyer and/or Worldspan, on the other hand, with respect to the holding or disposition of any portion of the Escrow Fund, or any other obligations of Escrow Agent hereunder, or if at any time Escrow Agent is unable to determine the proper disposition of any portion of the Escrow Fund, or Escrow Agent’s proper actions with respect to its obligations hereunder, then Escrow Agent may petition (by means of an interpleader action or any other appropriate method) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, for instructions with respect to such dispute, and to the extent required by law, pay into such court, for holding and disposition in accordance with the instructions of the applicable court, all funds held by it in the Escrow Fund. All costs incident to such matter are recoverable by Escrow Agent from Buyer and Northwest severally allocated in the same manner as the allocation of fees and expenses as provided in Section 7.3 hereof.
8. Resignation; Successor Escrow Agent.
8.1 Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder at any time by giving no less than thirty (30) Business Days prior written notice of
4.4(b)(2)-7
such resignation to Buyer and Northwest specifying the date when such resignation shall take effect; provided, however, that no such resignation shall be effective unless and until Buyer and Northwest have selected a successor Escrow Agent and such successor Escrow Agent shall have assumed all of the obligations of Escrow Agent hereunder. Upon receipt of written notice from Buyer and Northwest that a successor Escrow Agent has been selected and assumed the obligations of Escrow Agent hereunder, Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Escrow Fund to such successor Escrow Agent and render the accounting required by Section 8.3 and shall thereafter have no further obligations hereunder.
8.2 Buyer and Northwest acting together shall have the right to terminate the appointment of Escrow Agent hereunder by giving notice in writing of such termination to Escrow Agent, specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect. In the event of such termination, Buyer and Northwest agree that they will jointly appoint a successor Escrow Agent within thirty (30) Business Days of such notice and Escrow Agent hereby agrees that it shall promptly deliver the Escrow Fund to such successor Escrow Agent and render the accounting required by Section 8.3 and that it shall thereafter have no further obligations hereunder. Upon receipt of the Escrow Fund, the successor Escrow Agent shall thereupon be bound by all of the provisions hereof.
8.3 In the event of the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent or upon the termination of the Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 9 and if requested in writing by either Buyer or Northwest, Escrow Agent shall render to Buyer and Northwest and to the successor Escrow Agent, if any, an accounting in writing of the property constituting the Escrow Fund and all distributions therefrom.
9. Termination of the Escrow Agreement.
This Escrow Agreement, except for Section 7.4 hereof which shall continue in effect, shall terminate on the date on which the last distribution required to be made by Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 4 is made and the balance of the Escrow Fund is zero; provided, however, that this Escrow Agreement shall not terminate earlier than September 30, 2004.
10. Governing Law.
THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT IS INTENDED AS A CONTRACT UNDER AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LOCAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD PERMIT OR REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION), INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION AS TO ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY AND PERFORMANCE.
