A.    Fixed Hosting and Support Fee for the Orbitz Software

        Prior to January 1, 2004, the pricing for the Fixed Hosting and Support Fee shall be that set forth in Exhibit D. Commencing upon January 1, 2004, AA will pay Orbitz a Fixed Hosting and Support Fee in the amount of $[***] per year for the remainder of the Initial Term and the Extended Initial Term pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. After March 31, 2005, the Fixed Hosting and Support Fee may be increased on an annual basis by Orbitz provided that such increase shall not exceed [***].

        The Fixed Hosting and Support Fee for each of the annual periods will be an all-inclusive fee for Orbitz to provide the Orbitz Software and the Hosting and Support Services. AA will not be charged any transaction fees, annual maintenance and support fees, or fees for Third Party Components, in addition to the Fixed Hosting and Support Fees during the Term unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The Fixed Hosting and Support Fee will not include ITA, car, hotel or other functionality for which Orbitz typically charges a separate fee or the development of AA-Specific Functionality or AA-Competitive Functionality (which are separately chargeable as described herein) and will only cover Orbitz Software functionality for air bookings.

        In the event that projected server loads are greater than [***]% of capacity, Orbitz will promptly communicate to AA the need for increased capacity. Orbitz will demonstrate such condition to AA before acquiring the additional servers necessary to keep sustained hardware loads at or below [***]% of capacity. Upon approval from AA, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, Orbitz will acquire such additional servers and invoice AA in the amount of $[***] per month for each [***] booking engine servers [***], additional hosting space and additional telecommunications capacity. During the time period (a) that AA withholds such approval, or (b) after AA grants such approval through the date that Orbitz successfully installs the additional servers into the Orbitz systems (not to exceed 45 days absent circumstances outside Orbitz's control), Orbitz shall not be liable for any fees, liabilities, credits, costs, expenses or other charges associated with sustained hardware loads at or above [***]% of capacity.

        To clarify, the Fixed Hosting and Support Fee includes, but is not limited to, the following:

    •
    Hosting of the Orbitz Software in Orbitz primary facilities

    •
    Any required hardware to support hosting and booking engine services. By Xxxxx 0, 0000, Xxxxxx will perform an analysis to upgrade such hardware to a technological level generally comparable to that of other providers of similar services or general industry standards. Orbitz will provide AA with the results of such analysis, including Orbitz's hardware upgrade recommendations and the related implementation timeline. Upon approval from AA, Orbitz will perform such hardware upgrade at no additional charge to AA.

    •
    Routine business and administrative expenses incurred by Orbitz, such as a telephone, postage, photocopying, etc.

        The Fixed Hosting and Support Fee does not include the following:

    •
    Development of AA-Specific Functionality or AA-Competitive Functionality

    •
    Profile Databases

    •
    Presentation and web design

B.    Fees for ITA Software Hosting Services

        In addition to the Fixed Hosting and Support Fee, Orbitz shall invoice AA for the following fees relating to the hosting of the ITA Software:

    (i)
    the one-time ITA Set-Up Fee in the amount of $[***], upon the execution of this Amendment.

    (ii)
    the ITA Dev/QA Fee in the amount of $[***] per month at the end of each month, commencing upon the ITA Hosting Date

    (iii)
    the ITA Load Testing Fee in the amount of $[***] per month at the end of each month, commencing upon the completion of functionality testing and the commencement of load testing activities, for the first two months following commencement of the ITA Load Testing Fee, and $[***] per month thereafter until commencement of the ITA Hosting Fee.

    (iv)
    The ITA Hosting Fee in the amount of $[***] per month in arrears, commencing upon the date the ITA Software is hosted in all environments and accessible by AA customers.

        In the event that the ITA Dev/QA Fee or the ITA Load Testing Fee occurs in the middle of a month, there will be a pro-rata adjustment in the calculation of the fee due Orbitz for such month by dividing the ITA Dev/QA Fee or the applicable ITA Load Testing Fee, as the case may be, by the number of days in that month, to arrive at a daily rate to be applied to the number of days associated with such fee.

        Similarly, in the event that the ITA Hosting Fee occurs in the middle of a month, there will be a pro-rata adjustment in the calculation of the fee due Orbitz for such month by dividing the ITA Hosting Fee by the number of days in that month, to arrive at a daily rate to be applied to the number of days associated with such fee.

        To clarify, the ITA Hosting Fee includes, but is not limited to, the following:

    •
    Hosting of the ITA Software in Orbitz primary facilities, including adequate operations personnel who are familiar with the operation of the ITA Software and who are dedicated to the AA implementation of the ITA Software

Upon approval from AA, Orbitz will perform such hardware upgrade at no additional charge to AA.

    •
    7x24 technical support. As between AA and Orbitz, Orbitz will work jointly with AA and ITA in analyzing and diagnosing problems that may arise with hosting the ITA Software to determine whether a problem is a data problem (and therefore the responsibility of ITA or AA to resolve) or an operations/hosting problem (and therefore the responsibility of Orbitz to resolve, an "Orbitz Problem"). AA shall be responsible for any fees assessed by ITA to the extent incurred due to problems that are not an Orbitz Problem. Orbitz Problems shall exclude any problems that result in a new version, bug fix, update or revision of or to the ITA Software. Orbitz shall be responsible for any fees that may be assessed by ITA for ITA assistance provided to Orbitz regarding an Orbitz Problem. Orbitz agrees that it will not delay in engaging ITA, once it becomes apparent that ITA assistance is required to expeditiously resolve an Orbitz Problem.

    •
    Coordination with ITA of all data loads, upgrades, hardware or configuration changes, kernel changes or other matters relating to the production servers that may affect the operation of the ITA Software on behalf of AA

    •

    Non-air functionality

    •
    Customer service

    •
    Fulfillment

        The ITA Dev/QA Fee and the ITA Load Testing Fee also include all of the above services, except that technical support will be provided during normal business hours, rather than on a 7 × 24 basis.

        (v) In the event that projected server loads are greater than [***]% of capacity, Orbitz will promptly communicate to AA the need for increased capacity. Orbitz will demonstrate such condition to AA before acquiring the additional servers necessary to keep sustained hardware loads at or below [***]% of capacity. Upon approval from AA, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, Orbitz will acquire such additional servers and invoice AA in the amount of $[***] per month for each additional cluster of [***] servers. During the time period (a) that AA withholds such approval, or (b) after AA grants such approval through the date that Orbitz successfully installs the additional servers into the Orbitz systems (not to exceed 45 days absent circumstances outside Orbitz's control), Orbitz shall not be liable for any fees, liabilities, credits, costs, expenses or other charges associated with sustained hardware loads at or above [***]% of capacity.

3.     Maximum Transactions Per Hour

        (a) Maximum Transactions Per Hour (MTH) refers to the targeted upper limit of Transactions per hour based on targeted hardware capacity. For the purposes of this Agreement, MTH is defined as:

        [***]

    Where   ETV = Expected Transaction Volume
        MHP = Monthly High Volume Percentage
        MHV = Monthly High Volume Period
        DHP = Daily High Volume Percentage
        DHV = Daily High Volume Period
        HWL = Targeted Hardware Load (as defined in Section A(6) of this Exhibit)

 
 
(b)
 
For the Launch Date, the following variables will be used:

 
 
 
 
Monthly High Volume Percentage (MHP) will be equal to [***]%
        Monthly High Volume Period (MHV) will be equal to [***] days
        Daily High Volume Percentage (DHP) will be equal to [***]%
        Daily High Volume Period (DHV) will be equal to [***] hours
        Targeted Hardware Load (HWL) will be equal to [***]% (as defined in Section A(6) of this Exhibit)

        (c) During the first month of the first Service Level Period and every six months thereafter, the parties will review all defined variables in the MTH calculation, based on the historical data for the [***] busiest days during any 30-day period since the last review of the MTH calculation. If a change in the MHP or DHP variables is favorable to AA (i.e., will result in an increase in net MTH Transactions), the parties will prospectively change such variable(s) for the upcoming months, by the full value of such change. If a change in the MHP or DHP variables is favorable to Orbitz (i.e., will result in a decrease in net MTH Transactions), the parties will prospectively change such variable(s) for the upcoming months, by [***] percent ([***]%) of the value of the net change. For example, when the historical data is applied, if the DHP value is actually [***]%, and the former DHP value was [***]%, then the DHP value will be changed by [***]% of the [***]% change, resulting in a revised DHP value of [***]%. Should both parties be able demonstrate an application of the historical data that results in conflicting results, the MTH calculation will not change for the upcoming period.

        (d) The concept of MTH applies only to the Orbitz Software and not to the ITA Software.

Exhibit F-ii

4.     System Availability

        (a) Monthly System Availability shall be defined using the following formula.

[***]

    Where   AP = Availability Percentage
        HM = Total hours in a given month
        EHU = Excluded Hours Unavailable (or the fraction thereof)
        HU = Total Hours Unavailable (or the fraction thereof)
    (b)
    Monthly System Availability Commitment. Monthly System Availability Commitment is defined in the table below for each contract year:

Contract Year
   Monthly System Availability
Commitment (Orbitz Software)
   Monthly System Availability
Commitment (ITA Software)
1   [***]%   [***]    
2   [***]%   [***]    
3   [***]%   [***]%
4   [***]%   [***]%
5   [***]%   [***]%

        (c) Hours Unavailable. Hours Unavailable shall be calculated from earlier of: (i) the time a Trouble Ticket is opened that either the Orbitz Software or ITA Software is unavailable or (ii) the time Orbitz is notified that either the Orbitz Software or ITA Software is not operating to specifications, and ends when the Orbitz Software or ITA Software, as the case may be, is restored to the extent that the system is operating substantially in conformance to specifications.

        (d) Excluded Hours Unavailable. Hours unavailable shall not include hours or portion thereof in which the Orbitz Software or ITA Software is unavailable due to (i) Scheduled Downtime, (ii) hours where actual Transactions exceeded the Maximum Transaction Per Hour (MTH) threshold (iii) failure of software, hardware, middleware or systems which are necessary for the delivery of the Orbitz Software or hosting of the ITA Software but which are not provided and controlled by Orbitz, including, but not limited to, 3rd party networks; SABRE hardware, middleware, operating system kernels, software, or systems; availability of the World Wide Web; software owned or licensed by AA connected to Orbitz Software (excluding AA-Competitive Functionality); or Orbitz Software modified by AA. Additionally, hours unavailable shall not include the following (i) hours unavailable or portion thereof due to functionality or defects that reside within the ITA Software, (ii) hours unavailable or portion thereof due to response times that are internal processing times within the ITA Software, (iii) hours unavailable or portion thereof due to reaching 100% capacity of search results or text rule display results from the ITA Software, provided that Orbitz has met its obligations as set forth in Exhibit D1, B(v), (iv) hours unavailable or portion thereof due to ITA's failure to provide realtime availability data,. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Orbitz will be responsible for maintaining: (i) the Orbitz interface between Orbitz Software and AA, (ii) the Orbitz interface leading to SABRE, (iii) communications between the Orbitz interface and the SABRE interface, and (iv) communications between the Orbitz data centers and ITA data centers.

        (e) Scheduled Downtime. Inaccessibility of the Orbitz Software and/or the ITA Software as part of the Website for normal maintenance or upgrades of the Orbitz or its Subcontractor's network, equipment and systems ("Scheduled Downtime") will occur during Orbitz's or its Subcontractor's regularly scheduled maintenance window, which Orbitz or its Subcontractor may, in its or their reasonable discretion, adjust to best serve the needs of its network and customer base. The parties will coordinate maintenance schedules and Orbitz agrees to schedule Scheduled Downtime to coincide with

***
Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

Exhibit F-iii

AA's scheduled maintenance, unless commercially impractical in which case Orbitz will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Scheduled Downtime shall not inconvenience AA or its customers. Total Scheduled Downtime will not exceed [***] hours in total during a calendar month for the Orbitz Booking Engine. Total Scheduled Downtime will not exceed [***] hours in total during a quarter for the ITA Software. Scheduled Downtime that violates the foregoing requirements will violate the Monthly System Availability Commitment.

        (f) AA will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Orbitz with at least 24 hours advance notification of any AA-initiated promotional events that are expected to create a significant increase in the number of booking Transactions or create a significant increase in the number of Queries on the system.

        (g) This subsection 4(g) shall apply to the Orbitz Software only. If the actual Transaction volume less Transactions incurred during hours excluded from the System Availability percentage due to the Maximum Transactions per Hour (MTH) threshold exceeding the Guaranteed Transaction Volume ("Adjusted Actual Transaction Volume") exceeds the Guaranteed Transaction Volume for any particular calendar month in the Service Level Period for years two and three, the Monthly System Availability Commitment will be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) for each [***] percent ([***]%) increment (or portions thereof) that the Adjusted Actual Transaction Volume exceeds the Guaranteed Transaction Volume.

        For example, if the Expected Transaction Volume for a given month in the second year is [***] Transactions, the Guaranteed Transaction Volume will be [***] Transactions. If the actual number of Transactions turns out to be [***], and if there were [***] hours where the actual transactions were greater than the MTH, and the total number of transactions processed during such [***] hours equaled [***] transactions, then the Adjusted Actual Transactions would be [***]. The Monthly System Availability Commitment will be calculated (in the second year) as [***]% (i.e., [***] divided by [***] = [***]%. This results in [***] percent [***] (or portions thereof) which, in turn, reduces the year two base of [***]% by [***] percent ([***]%) amounts, for a total reduction of [***] percent ([***]%) to arrive at a Monthly System Availability Commitment of [***]%.

    (h)
    Service Availability Credits. If Orbitz fails to meet the Monthly System Availability after the Service Level Period commences, Orbitz will credit AA a prorated amount of the Fixed License and Hosting Fee and/or the ITA Hosting Fee, as the case may be, ("Hosting Credit"), calculated as follows: AA will be entitled to receive a credit equal to (i) [***] percent ([***]%) of the applicable monthly Fixed License and Hosting Fee for each [***] percent ([***]%) the Service Level falls below the Monthly System Availability Commitment for the Orbitz Software, and (ii) [***] percent ([***]%) of the applicable monthly ITA Hosting Fee for each [***] percent ([***]%) the Service Level falls below the Monthly System Availability Commitment for the ITA Software. The applicable annual Fixed License and Hosting Fee will be divided by twelve to determine the applicable monthly Fixed License and Hosting Fee. Such Hosting Credits may be deducted from the invoice for the next installment of the annual Fixed License and Hosting Fee or the ITA Hosting Fee or, if there is no subsequent installment due, Orbitz will refund to AA the amount of such Hosting Credits that have not been applied to invoices, subject to the limitation set forth in Section C(2) of this Exhibit F.

    (i)
    Additional ITA Grace Periods. For projects that require substantial modifications to existing ITA infrastructure or substantial changes to load on the ITA system in a live production environment; AA and Orbitz may mutually agree that such projects will have a 30 SLA exempt grace period commencing on the launch of the project.

5.     System Response

      (a)
      i.
      Orbitz will be responsible for System Response Time; provided, however, Orbitz will not be responsible for System Response Time in the event that System Response Time is adversely impacted by factors, occurrences or circumstances beyond the control of Orbitz. Such factors, occurrences and circumstances that are deemed to be beyond the control of Orbitz include, but are not limited to, 3rd party networks, SABRE system response and hours, or portions thereof, where actual Transactions exceeded the Maximum Transactions Per Hour (MTH) threshold.

      ii.
      Additionally, Orbitz will not be responsible for adverse impact to the ITA Query Response Time due to the following (1) functionality or defects that reside within the ITA Software, (2) factors due to response times that are internal processing times within the ITA Software, (3) factors due to reaching 100% capacity of search results or text rule display results from the ITA Software, provided that Orbitz has met its obligations as set forth in Exhibit D1, B(v), and (4) changes made to the ITA Query format from the AA system (AA and Orbitz may mutually agree that configuration or parameter changes can require a new baseline for the ITA Query Response Time. Orbitz shall include detailed information as to delays attributed to Orbitz, Sabre and other causes outside the control of Orbitz in the monthly System Availability and Performance Report set forth in Section B(4) of this Exhibit.

        (b) Orbitz will provide System Response Time within acceptable limits for at least [***]% of all booking engine service calls/requests. Specific metric TBD, however, 2 months of response time data should be gathered and the metric shall be set as a result of looking at [***] standard deviations from the mean of this data. For the ITA Query Response Time, AA and Orbitz will mutually agree on a baseline metric that is based on current XX.xxx web site shopping patterns and the ITA Query Response Time for those shopping patterns.

        (c) The "System Response Time Commitment" shall equal an amount calculated at [***]% higher than [***] standard deviations above the observed mean.

        (d) System Response Time Credit. For each month that Orbitz fails to achieve at least [***]% performance at or below such System Response Time Commitment, AA shall receive a credit of $[***] subject to the limitation set forth in Section C(2) of this Exhibit.

        (e) This subsection 5(e) shall apply to the Orbitz Software only. If the actual Transaction volume exceeds the Guaranteed Transaction Volume for any particular calendar month, the value of the System Response Time Commitment will be increased by [***] percent ([***]%) for each [***] percent ([***]%) increment (or portions thereof) that the actual Transaction volume exceeds the Guaranteed Transaction Volume.

6.     Hardware Capacity

        (a) Unless otherwise agreed by both parties, Orbitz will provide performance monitoring and capacity planning aimed at keeping sustained hardware loads at or below [***]% of capacity for the production systems only.

Attachment 1 to Exhibit F1

Orbitz High Availability Booking Engine
Summary

To provide business continuity in event of a complete or partial data center disaster Orbitz will run the XX.xxx booking engine in two data centers simultaneously in an active-active configuration. Figure I provides a high level overview of the solution.

Capacity, Performance & Connectivity

Server Capacity—Server capacity will be provided in each site to accommodate the full projected transaction volumes. Component redundancy within each site will also be maintained to ensure uninterrupted service. These improvements can be accomplished within the cost structure of the original proposal due to the reduction in scale of the staging environment. Assets originally dedicated to a "production-scale" staging environment will be used to provide the incremental capacity necessary to accommodate running two sites.

ITA Server Capacity—The total searching capacity of the site will be distributed as evenly as possible between the redundant Orbitz data centers. This component of the site differs from the rest of the site in that searching capacity is not redundant. In the event that one data center is not online, searching capacity of the site will be reduced by 50%.

Sabre Connectivity -The additional Sabre connectivity required in the event of a disaster will be provided via cost effective stand-by TIs.

Front End to Booking Engine Connectivity -There will be incremental costs associated with connecting the XX.xxx front end application data center to two booking engine sites. These costs are borne by AA and estimated to be 1.5 times the cost to connect to a single booking engine site. Although twice as many circuits will be required between the Exodus data centers, the traffic sent over anyone circuit will be reduced to half the traffic for a single site scenario.

Operations
Site Operations -The data centers will continue to be operated from a single location at the Orbitz Network Operations Center (NOC) in Chicago. In the event of a catastrophic event at the NOC location, the service can be monitored and operated from either. of the data center locations.

Log File Consolidation -Log files between the two booking sites will be consolidated on an hourly basis for troubleshooting, reporting and accounting purposes.

Future Considerations
