and display the Licensed Software and Documentation in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Licensee may use the Licensed Software to generate, sort,
price and select airline itineraries and determine availability of selected
flights, classes of service and booking codes, in order to provide travel
planning and related services to End Users. In addition, End Users shall be
permitted to access and use the Licensed Software at the Site(s) or a co-
branded section of the Site(s). The foregoing license grant shall also include
the right to permit third party vendors, outsourcers and other service providers
to render services to the Licensee and its Affiliates relating to the design,
development and maintenance of the Licensed Software, subject to all the other
restrictions and conditions contained in this License Agreement.
(b) RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS.
(i) Except as provided in Section 19(f), Licensee shall not have
the right to sublicense or transfer the Licensed Software.
(ii) Licensee shall not have the right to use the Licensed Software
to provide services to an airline or to an affiliate of an airline which is
engaged in the business of selling travel on such airline.
(iii) Licensee may make copies of the Licensed Software for staging,
back- up, disaster recovery, testing or archival purposes, and as necessary to
utilize the Licensed Software in its business, subject to the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
(iv) Licensee shall be permitted to use (including via a network)
the Licensed Software on a worldwide basis and on an unlimited number of
machines without restriction as to the number of users, but only subject to the
restrictions and limitations contained herein.
(v) Licensee agrees that it shall not reverse engineer,
disassemble, decompile, modify, profile or monitor the Licensed Software for any
purpose whatsoever, nor will Licensee implement or permit procedures such as
"port scans", "tiger attacks" or other techniques designed to gain access to the
Licensed Software (or to computers running the Licensed Software) which have not
been specifically authorized by Licensor; provided, however, that Licensee may
monitor the operation of the programs with Licensor's prior consent, which will
not be unreasonably withheld, provided that such monitoring is in accordance
with all the other provisions of this Agreement. The foregoing provision shall
not be deemed to prohibit Licensee from monitoring the inputs to or outputs from
the Licensor's Application Program Interfaces (APIs). Without limiting the
foregoing, Licensee specifically agrees that it will not observe, read, copy,
profile or monitor the contents of any Packets (or write or use any software
program which permits or enables any of such activities) for any purpose
whatsoever; provided, however, that Licensee may monitor external
characteristics of Packets such as volume of Packets moving across the network
or the size of Packets. In addition, Licensee shall have the right to monitor,
through the use of passive monitoring agents that at no time during their
operations would result in changing configurations, changing the intended
operation of the system, or degrading performance, the performance (i.e, uptime,
disk space usage, bandwidth performance, memory utilization, etc.) of the
hardware and equipment on which the Licensed Software is running at the Atlanta
Facility and the Chicago Facility (as defined in the SLA).
(vi) The Licensor has designed the Licensed Software so that it
scales to accommodate arbitrary numbers of queries. However, the Licensee may
wish to scale its system using a system architecture different than that
presently used by the Licensed Software. In such event, Licensor will have the
opportunity, on its own or jointly with the Licensee, to modify the Licensed
Software, pursuant to an SOW, to
3
accommodate such engineering requirements as may be occasioned by Licensee's
desire to scale its system according to a different architecture. In the event
that Licensor is unwilling or unable to provide appropriate modifications to the
Licensed Software, Licensor will make available to Licensee such information as
may be reasonably required for Licensee to make such modifications.
(vii) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Licensee shall
not have any right to make, prepare or reproduce derivative works of the
Licensed Software.
(viii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Licensee
shall be prohibited from providing the Licensed Software to a CRS, pursuant to
the restrictions more specifically set forth in Exhibit B. It is the parties'
intention that it not be considered a violation of such Exhibit B if such
restrictions are violated inadvertently by Licensee as a result of a CRS
Entity's (as defined therein) having access to the Licensed Software at the Site
without Licensee's acquiescence or control.
3. DOCUMENTATION
When delivering the Licensed Software (including any Upgrade Releases) to
Licensee, Licensor shall supply applicable Documentation in printed and/or

than two (2) full-time equivalents (calculated on a monthly basis) to perform
such services (including any services rendered pursuant to paragraph (d) below)
at anyone time. The provision of such services shall be governed by statements
of work executed by the parties, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C
("SOWs"). In addition, Licensor agrees to maintain the performance of the
Licensed Software such that it is reasonably comparable, in terms of search time
and number of pricing solutions (combinations of itineraries and fares)
searched, with similar products available from any Competitive Entity.
"Competitive Entity" means the following entities that provide online travel
services: Sabre Inc. (including Easy Sabre, GetThere Inc., and Travelocity),
Expedia Inc., Xxxxxxxxx.xxx Incorporated, Cendant Corporation (including

the meaning or the applications of any federal, state or local laws or
regulations including, but not limited to, laws or regulations covering
unemployment insurance, old age benefits, worker's compensation, industrial
accident, labor or taxes of any kind. Licensor's employees shall not be entitled
to benefits from Licensee that may be afforded from time to time to Licensee's
employees, including without limitation, vacation, holidays, sick leave,
worker's compensation and unemployment insurance. Further, Licensee shall not be
responsible for withholding or paying any taxes or social security on behalf of

Software as a whole and shall not have the right to substitute other software
for portions of the Licensed Software and (ii) any interfaces between those
portions of the Licensed Software comprising the low-fare search servers and
availability servers, on the one hand, and other such software, programs, etc.
of the Licensee, on the other hand, will occur via the Licensor's documented XML
Application Program Interface (API) or another API provided by or approved in
advance by Licensor. Licensor shall have no ownership interest in any other
software, program, routine or subroutine developed by Licensee or acquired by
Licensee from a third party by
5
virtue of its having been interfaced with or used in conjunction with any
Licensed Software. In addition, Licensee may request that Licensor enter into an
SOW to modify the Licensed Software for Licensee (but not for Licensor's other
licensees) in the event Licensee is able to obtain availability information from
airlines which airlines do not make generally available. In the event such
modification would not degrade the performance of availability caching for
Licensor's other licensees, Licensor may enter into such an SOW and the
provisions of this Agreement will not be deemed to prohibit Licensee's use of
the Licensed Software as so modified.
(c) ORBITZ-DEVELOPED SOURCE CODE. Licensor acknowledges that Licensee shall
be the exclusive owner of all right, title and interest, including all
intellectual property rights, in and to any and all source code developed solely
by or for Licensee related to or in support of any object code of the Licensed
Software, including, but not limited to, source code that improves the
scalability of the Licensed Software. The foregoing will not be deemed to alter
the rights of the respective parties under applicable law and shall not preclude
either party from filing patents regarding inventions or discoveries invented or
discovered by such party.

Licensor understands and acknowledges that Licensee may (i) manage, modify,
maintain and update pre-existing data and information about End Users for use
with (or resulting from use of) the Licensed Software, and (ii) generate,
manage, modify, maintain and update additional such data and Information (such
pre-existing data and information and such additional data and information are
referred to collectively as "Licensee Data"; provided that schedule, fare and
availability data used by the Licensed Software shall not constitute Licensee
Data). Licensee Data shall be treated as Licensee Confidential Information, and
Licensee shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all Licensee Data.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee agrees that Licensor will have access to
Licensee Data comprising aggregated statistics relating to both the usage of the
Licensed Software and the traffic data (such as patterns of usage over times of

year in which the applicable Subsequent License Year begins (I.E., the payment
for the License Year beginning October 1, 2005 will be payable on January 1,
2005). Payment of the Basic License Fee for any License Year provides Orbitz
with the ability, without obligation to pay additional license fees except as
set forth in paragraph (c) or (d) below, to create the applicable number of PNRs
set forth below under "Permissible PNRs":
LICENSE YEAR BASIC LICENSE FEE PERMISSIBLE PNRS

License Year ending 9/2006 $ [***] [***]
License Year ending 9/2007 $ [***] [***]
(c) ADDITIONAL LICENSE FEES.
(i) INITIAL PERIOD - BASIC PNRS. With respect to the Orbitz
URL, if for any License Year during the Initial Period,
the number of Basic PNRs created exceeds [***], then
Licensee shall pay Licensor an additional license fee of
[***] for such License Year within forty-five (45) days
after the number of Basic PNRs exceeds [***].
As used herein, "Basic PNRs" means PNRs created at the
Orbitz URL other than PNRs created as a result of: use
of the Orbitz URL by travel agents (which term shall
include travel agency consortiums and corporate travel
departments) pursuant to a commercial arrangement
between Orbitz and such travel agents, other than use
resulting from so-called "banner advertisements" or
other forms of advertising on travel agent web sites
whereby Licensee pays a fixed amount to the travel
agent which is not based upon performance (by way of
example, and not by way of limitation, payment based
upon PNRs or bookings) and does not provide for the
sharing of revenue;
(ii) INITIAL PERIOD - INCREMENTAL PNRS. With respect to all
PNRs other than Basic PNRs (all such other PNRs are
referred to as "Incremental PNRs"), during the Initial
Period, Licensee shall pay Licensor an additional
licensee fee of [***] ($[***]) per Incremental PNR
created.
(iii) REMAINDER PERIOD. If for any Subsequent License Year
after the Initial Period, the number of PNRs created

the then-current License Year.
(d) INCREMENTAL FEES. At the end of each License Year, Orbitz shall
calculate and pay ITA, with respect to all Incremental PNRs (as defined in
paragraph (c)(ii) above), a fee equal to (i) [***] multiplied by the quotient of
the (A) the number of searches conducted during the previous License Year which
relate to such Incremental PNRs divided by (B) the Basic Ratio, minus (ii) the
amount paid by Orbitz to ITA pursuant to Section (c)(ii) or (c)(iii) above for
such Incremental PNRs (for the relevant License Year). For clarity, the
calculation shall be as follows:
Fee = $[***] X (Non-Orbitz URL searches at Site/Basic Ratio) -
fees paid pursuant to (c)(ii) or (c)(iii) above

(i) INVOICING. Unless otherwise provided in this Section 8, Licensor shall
invoice Licensee on a monthly basis for all fees and charges accruing hereunder
or pursuant to an SOW, and Licensee shall pay all such invoiced amounts within
thirty (30) days after receipt of a proper and correct invoice; provided, that
Licensor shall not be obligated to invoice any amounts (such as the Basic
License Fee) the amount and timing of which are fixed by this Agreement and/or
by Exhibit G. Such invoices shall provide such detail as required by the
invoicing policy set forth at Exhibit F, and shall be accompanied by any
supporting documentation required by such policy. Upon mutual agreement of the
parties, such invoicing policy may be changed from time to time. In the event of
a good faith dispute as to any portion of an invoice, Licensee shall give
written notice to Licensor, within fourteen (14) days after receiving such
invoice, stating the details of any such dispute and shall promptly pay any
undisputed amount in accordance with this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days
after the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Licensor
shall submit to Licensee an itemized invoice for any fees or expenses
theretofore accrued under this Agreement. Licensee, upon payment of accrued
amounts so invoiced, shall have no future liability or obligation to Licensor
whatsoever for any further fees, expenses, or other payments.

state or local taxes (other than taxes based on licensor's income) assessed on
the Licensed Software or services provided under this Agreement.
9. MOST FAVORED CUSTOMER
Licensor agrees to treat Licensee as its most favored customer, and Licensor
represents that all of the prices, warranties, benefits and other terms being
provided hereunder, considered as a whole, are equivalent to or better than the
terms being offered by Licensor to its current customers for substantially
similar software. In its sole right and discretion, Licensor may establish the
pricing for any application it develops for any other licensee. However, in the
event Licensor licenses to a third party software which is substantially similar
to the Licensed Software, at an effective price which is lower than that
provided hereunder or on more favorable terms (provided that such price and
terms shall be considered as a whole), Licensor shall prospectively (but not
retroactively) reduce the price to be charged to Licensee and/or revise the
terms such that, considered as a whole, they are at least as favorable as that
granted to such third party. In determining whether software is "substantially
similar" or whether the terms charged to a third party are "more favorable,"
Licensor will take into account the number of transactions for which a licensee
is using the software, the duration of the license, the amount of integration
work required, the minimum license fee, the expected volume of transactions, and
whether or not there is a per-transaction component to the pricing. Without
limiting the foregoing, the parties specifically agree that a license by the
Licensor to an airline will not trigger the provisions of this Section 9.
10. TERM AND TERMINATION
(a) TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term of this Agreement and the license granted
to Licensee hereunder shall be deemed to have commenced as of July 1, 2000 and
shall terminate on September 30, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor
agrees that any use by Licensee of the Licensed Software prior to the
commencement of this Agreement was authorized by Licensor, and Licensor hereby
waives any claim for unauthorized use and for license fees or other compensation
for such use prior to July 1, 2000.
(b) TERM OF SOWS. Unless specified otherwise in an SOW or earlier
terminated in accordance with this Agreement, each SOW shall remain in full
force and effect until expiration of this Agreement or until performance is
completed and deliverables are accepted, whichever is later.
9

granted hereunder (or an SOW) may be terminated by Licensee for cause
immediately by written notice upon the occurrence of any of the following
events: (i) Licensor materially breaches Section 4(c), 4(d), 11(b)(i),
11(b)(iii), 11(b)(vii), 12(a), 14 or 15, so as to cause material damage to

this Section 10(c), Licensor shall refund to Licensee a pro rata portion of the
license fees paid by Licensee (other than the $[***] license fee paid by
Licensee in accordance with Section 8(a)) proportional to the license term
remaining in the License Year as of the date of termination and maintenance and
support fees set forth herein or in the SLA which were paid in advance and have
not been earned as of the effective date of termination.

petition or proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing; (iv)
Licensor is in material breach of its maintenance and support obligations under
this Agreement or under the SLA (including Maintenance Services as defined in
the SLA) and fails to cure such breach within (A) fifteen (15) days from the
date of receipt by Licensor of written notice from Licensee describing in
reasonable detail the grounds for Licensee's belief that such material breach
occurred, in the event the breach causes a Severity Level 1 or Severity Level 2
problem (as defined in the SLA), or (B) sixty (60) days from the date of receipt
of such notice in the event the breach causes Severity Level 3 or Severity Level
4 problems (as defined in the SLA) and such problems are chronic and continuous
(provided, however, that in both cases, prior to obtaining the release of the
Deposited Materials pursuant to this clause (iv), the parties shall have
completed the expedited dispute resolution procedures provided for under Section
18(b); (v) Licensor notifies Licensee of its intent to cease to offer
maintenance and support services for the Licensed Software; or (vi) Licensor
fails to provide certification of a quarterly source code deposit to Licensee
within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from Licensee regarding such
failure, as set forth above in Section 14(a). In the event Licensee has the
right to have the Deposited Materials released to it pursuant to the procedures
set forth in Section 14(b)(iv) above, then Licensee shall have the option to (1)
have such Deposited Materials released to it immediately, in which case Licensee
shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement under Section
10(c)(iii); or (2) have the Licensee's chief technology officer inspect all
source code for the Licensed Software at Licensor's offices for a period not to
exceed five (5) days, and after such inspection, Licensee may choose to
terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10(c)(iii) or receive the
Deposited Materials from escrow, in which case Licensee shall have no further
right to terminate this Agreement under Section 10(c)(iii).
(c) RESTRICTIONS. In the event the Deposited Materials are released to

the following purposes: (i) to correct bugs, errors, defects or malfunctions in
the Licensed Software; (ii) to modify the Software to comply with regulatory
requirements or industry standards; (iii) to add new features, functionalities,
or performances to the Licensed Software; and (iv) to perform the maintenance
and support services that Licensor was to perform under this Agreement and the

however, that any modification by Licensee of the Licensed Software shall excuse
Licensor from any further performance of its maintenance and support obligations
with respect to such portions of the Licensed Software that were modified by
Licensee. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the scope of and
restrictions on the licenses granted hereunder, and the intellectual property
rights of the parties, shall continue to be as set forth in Section 2 and 6,

into between Licensor and Licensee) shall also include reasonable provisions for
maintenance by Licensee of the confidentiality of the Deposited Materials in the
event the Deposited Materials are released to Licensee, including but not

related to such source code ("Access") be limited only to those employees or
third party contractors or outsourcers of Licensee engaged in operating,
maintaining, supporting and updating the Software; (ii) Licensee shall maintain
a list of all such individuals to whom Licensee has granted Access and shall
provide a copy of such list to Licensor upon Licensor's request; (iii) all such
individuals shall, as a condition of and prior to being granted such Access,
14
execute a non- disclosure agreement containing provisions at least as
restrictive as those set forth in Section 15, and Licensee shall maintain such
agreements available for inspection and copying by Licensor upon reasonable
request; and (iv) the Deposited Materials shall be stored in a secure manner.
15. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
(a) CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each party has disclosed (prior to the
commencement of this Agreement) and may disclose Confidential Information to the
other party which it intends the other party to maintain in confidence, and each
party agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 15 with respect to
all such Confidential Information. As used herein, each party which discloses
such information is referred to as a "Disclosing Party" and each party which
receives such information is referred to as a "Receiving Party." "Confidential
Information" means Disclosing Party's confidential and proprietary inventions,
products, designs and ideas, including computer software, functionality,
concepts, processes, internal structure, external elements, user interfaces,
technology and documentation, as well as confidential and proprietary
information relating to Disclosing Party's operations, plans, opportunities,
finances, research, technology, developments, know-how, personnel, and any third
party confidential information disclosed to Receiving Party. Without limiting
the foregoing definition, the Licensed Software, the Documentation (except
Documentation reasonably expected to be provided to End Users regarding the use
of the Licensed Software) and all Packets are "Confidential Information" of the
Licensor. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are also "Confidential
Information." However, "Confidential Information" shall not include information
(a) already lawfully known to Receiving Party if the Receiving Party does not
then have a duty to maintain its confidentiality, (b) developed independently by
the Receiving Party, (c) generally known to the public through no fault of the
Receiving Party; (d) lawfully obtained from a third party not obligated to
preserve its confidentiality; (e) required to be disclosed by law, regulation or
order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority
(except that prior to any such disclosure the Receiving Party shall give the
Disclosing Party notice thereof and afford the Disclosing Party the opportunity
to oppose any such disclosure).
(b) NON-DISCLOSURE. Receiving Party acknowledges that Confidential
Information is confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information of the
Disclosing Party. Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential Information for
any purpose other than in accordance with this Agreement, and shall not disclose
Confidential Information to anyone other than its employees and contractors who
legitimately need access to it and who have signed confidentiality agreements
comparable in scope to this Section 15. Receiving Party shall notify each of its
employees and contractors who are given access to Confidential Information that
they have an obligation not to disclose Confidential Information and shall take
such steps as are reasonably necessary to insure compliance with this
obligation. Receiving Party shall safeguard Confidential Information with
reasonable security means at least equivalent to measures that it uses to
safeguard its own proprietary information. Receiving Party shall store
Confidential Information in a safe and secure location. Receiving Party may not
remove copyright, trademark, trade secret, confidentiality, and patent notices
from Confidential Information.
(c) NO WARRANTIES. Except as set forth in Section 11, all Confidential
Information is provided "as is," without any express or implied warranty of any
kind.
(d) BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS. Receiving Party hereby
acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information
shall cause immediate and irreparable harm to Disclosing Party for which it
would not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Disclosing Party shall
have the right to
15
seek and obtain preliminary and final injunctive relief to enforce this
Agreement in case of any actual or threatened breach, in addition to other
rights and remedies that may be available to Disclosing Party.
16. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES
The parties shall be treated for all purposes as independent contractors, and no
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to constitute or create a
partnership, joint venture, agency or formal business organization of any kind.
17. PUBLICITY
(a) At no time shall either party release a press release that mentions the
other party unless the other party has consented in writing in advance to such
press release; provided, however, that each party may approve in writing in
advance a representative sample of a reference to such party, which may then be
used by the other party in press releases without further approval from such
party.
(b) For so long as the Licensed Software is used on the Site(s), the
Site(s) will contain the Licensor's logo with words to the effect of "powered by
ITA Software", or such similar language the content and placement of which will
be mutually determined by the parties.
18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
(a) DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The parties shall first attempt in good faith to
resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement by negotiation,
then arbitration, in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures as set
forth in Exhibit E.
(b) EXPEDITED PROCESS. In the case of a dispute as to whether the Licensee
is entitled to release of Deposited Materials from escrow as a result of
Licensor's material failure to maintain or support the Licensed Software, as
described in Section 14(b)(iv), the procedures set forth in Exhibit E will be
modified as follows: (i) in the event Licensee believes Licensor has materially
failed to maintain or support the Licensed Software, as described in Section
14(b)(iv), then Licensee may initiate the negotiation procedures set forth in
Section 1 of Exhibit E at any time after Licensee has given Licensor the notice
described in Section 14(b)(iv); (ii) in the event such negotiation procedures
are unsuccessful in resolving such dispute, either party may initiate
accelerated arbitration proceedings by notifying the other party at any time
following the end of the 15-day or 60-day period, as applicable, described in
Section 14(b)(iv); (iii) immediately upon the giving of such notice, the parties
will exercise their best efforts to select a mutually acceptable, technically
competent arbitrator through the Information Technology Association of America,
and such selection shall occur within seven (7) days of the giving of such
notice; (iv) as soon as the parties select an arbitrator, the parties and the
arbitrator shall immediately determine a mutually acceptable date(s) for such
arbitration to occur, which shall be not less than fourteen (14) nor more than
thirty (30) days after the date the arbitrator is selected, and in determining
such date, the parties agree to make the appropriate resources available for
arbitration on a "highest priority" basis; (v) at such arbitration each party
will have a maximum of two hours to present its case, for a total of not more
than four hours, and the arbitrator will have an additional four hours within
which to question the parties and allow the parties to rebut each other's
arguments; (vi) the arbitrator will be instructed to exercise his or her best
efforts to present his decision within fourteen (14) days of the last date on
which arbitration occurs. In connection therewith, the parties agree that the
arbitrator will present the reason for his determination in summary fashion
(i.e., in five pages or less) and will not be required to produce a detailed
legal or technical opinion.
16
19. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is declared by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(b) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement together with the SLA represents the
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
cancels and supersedes any previous understanding, commitments, or agreement,
oral or written, between Licensee and Licensor, other than confidential
disclosure agreements.
(c) WAIVER. No failure by either party to insist upon the strict
performance of any covenant, term or condition of this Agreement, or to exercise
any right or remedy, shall constitute a waiver of such right or remedy on any
subsequent occasion.
(d) GOVERNING LAW. The validity, construction, scope and performance of
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware, exclusive
of its choice of law provisions.
(e) AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be amended except in writing executed
by duly authorized representatives of both Licensor and Licensee.
(f) ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without
the other party's prior written consent; provided that either party shall be
permitted to assign its rights and obligations hereunder, without the other
party's consent, to a third party in the event of a change in control or any
sale, assignment, transfer or other conveyance to such third party of all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the assigning party, or (in the
case of the Licensee) any sale, assignment, transfer or other conveyance of the
Site to such third party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be
binding on the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns,
and such permitted assigns shall expressly agree to be bound by all the terms
and conditions herein and in the SLA. No partial assignment of the rights or
obligations granted hereunder and under the SLA shall be permitted.
(g) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterpart
copies, all of which together shall constitute one Agreement and each of which
shall constitute an original.
