-1-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delta's present and future operations, its financial operations, marketing plans
and strategies, alliance agreements and relationships, its compensation and
incentive programs for employees, and the business methods used by Delta and its
employees, and other information which derives economic value, actual or
potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily
ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value
from its disclosure or use, and is the subject of efforts that are reasonable
under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy (each, a “Trade Secret”). You
hereby agree that for so long as such information remains a Trade Secret as
defined by Georgia law, you will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of
Delta and shall not directly or indirectly make use of, on your own behalf or on
behalf of others, any Trade Secret, or transmit, reveal or disclose any Trade
Secret to any person, concern or entity. Nothing in this Agreement is intended,
or shall be construed, to limit the protections of any applicable law protecting
trade secrets.

(b)    Confidential or Proprietary Information. You further agree that you will
hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Delta, and, during the term of
your employment with Delta and for the two year period after such employment
terminates, shall not directly or indirectly use or disclose, any Confidential
or Proprietary Information, as defined hereinafter, that you acquire (whether or
not developed or compiled by you and whether or not you were authorized to have
access to such Confidential or Proprietary Information) during the term of, in
the course of, or as a result of your employment by Delta. Subject to the
provisions set forth below, the term “Confidential or Proprietary Information”
as used in this Agreement means the following secret, confidential and
proprietary information of Delta not otherwise included in the definition of
Trade Secret: all marketing, alliance, advertising and sales plans and
strategies; all pricing information; all financial, advertising and product
development plans and strategies; all compensation and incentive programs for
employees; all alliance agreements, plans and processes; all plans, strategies,
and agreements related to the sale of assets; all third party provider
agreements, relationships, and strategies; all business methods and processes
used by Delta and its employees; all personally identifiable information
regarding Delta employees, contractors, and applicants; and all lists of actual
or potential customers or suppliers maintained by Delta. The term “Confidential
or Proprietary Information” does not include information that has become
generally available to the public by the act of one who has the right to
disclose such information. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be
construed, to limit the protections of any applicable law protecting
confidential or proprietary information.

(c)    Employee Non-Solicitation Agreement. During the term of your employment
with Delta and during the one-year period following the termination of such
employment, you will not directly or indirectly (on your own behalf or on behalf
of any other person, company, partnership, corporation or other entity), employ
or solicit for employment any individual who is a management or professional
employee of Delta for employment with any entity or person other than Delta or
solicit, encourage or induce any such person to terminate their employment with
Delta. The restrictions set forth in this Section shall be limited to those
Delta management or professional employees who: (i) were employed by Delta
during your employment in a supervisory or administrative job; and (ii) with
whom you had material professional contact during your employment with Delta.

(d)    Non-Competition Agreement. You acknowledge that Delta competes in a
worldwide passenger air travel market, and Delta's business plan is increasingly
international in scope.  You also acknowledge that although Delta's business
plan focuses on international

-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

air travel as a growing and important component, domestic air travel service
will continue to be critical to Delta's success and will remain a primary focus
of its overall air travel business.  You acknowledge that the airlines listed
below are particular competitors to Delta in the domestic or international
market, and employment or consulting with any of the listed carriers would
create more harm to Delta than relative to your possible employment or
consulting with other air passenger carriers or air cargo carriers.  You agree
that the restrictions placed on you under this paragraph will not prevent you
from earning a livelihood, given the large number of worldwide and domestic
passenger and cargo air carriers not included in the list below. During the term
of your employment with Delta and for the one-year period following the
termination of such employment, you will not on your own behalf or on behalf of
any person, firm, partnership, association, corporation or business
organization, entity or enterprise, provide the same or substantially similar
services, as an employee, consultant, partner, or in any other capacity, to any
of the following entities, which you hereby acknowledge are all competitors of
Delta: AMR Corporation, American Airlines, Inc., Continental Airlines, Inc.,
Southwest Airlines Co., United Air Lines, Inc., United Continental Holdings,
Inc., US Airways Group, Inc., US Airways, Inc., JetBlue Airways Corporation,
AirTran Holdings, LLC, or AirTran Airways, Inc. (individually and collectively,
the “Competitor”). This restriction shall only apply to the extent that you may
not provide services to the Competitor: (a) while working within a fifty (50)
mile radius of the city limits of Atlanta, Georgia; or (b) while working out of
or within a fifty (50) mile radius of the corporate headquarters or a major hub
operation of the Competitor.

(e)    Return of Property. You hereby agree that all property belonging to
Delta, including records, files, memoranda, reports, personnel information
(including benefit files, training records, customer lists, operating procedure
manuals, safety manuals, financial statements, price lists and the like),
relating to the business of Delta, with which you come in contact in the course
of your employment (hereinafter “Delta's Materials”) shall, as between the
parties hereto, remain the sole property of Delta. You hereby warrant that you
shall promptly return all originals and copies of Delta's Materials to Delta at
the time your employment terminates.

(f)    Cooperation. You hereby agree that you shall, both during and after your
employment with Delta, to the extent requested in writing and reasonable under
the circumstances, cooperate with and serve in any capacity requested by Delta
in any pending or future litigation in which Delta has an interest, and
regarding which you, by virtue of your employment with Delta, have knowledge or
information relevant to the litigation.

(g)    Clawback. If you are an officer of Delta at or above the Vice President
level, you hereby agree that if the Committee determines that you have engaged
in fraud or misconduct that caused, in whole or in part, the need for a required
restatement of Delta's financial statements filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Committee will review all incentive compensation
awarded to or earned by you, including, without limitation, your Award, with
respect to fiscal periods materially affected by the restatement and may recover
from you all such incentive compensation to the extent the Committee deems
appropriate after taking into account the relevant facts and circumstances. Any
recoupment hereunder may be in addition to any other remedies that may be
available to Delta under applicable law, including, disciplinary action up to
and including termination of employment.

3.    Dispute Resolution.

-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a)    Arbitration. You hereby agree that except as expressly set forth below,
all disputes and any claims arising out of or under or relating to the Award or
this Agreement, including without limitation any dispute or controversy as to
the validity, interpretation, construction, application, performance, breach or
enforcement of this Agreement, shall be submitted for, and settled by,
mandatory, final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association.
Unless an alternative locale is otherwise agreed in writing by the parties to
this Agreement, the arbitration shall be conducted in the City of Wilmington,
Delaware. The arbitrator will apply Delaware law to the merits of any dispute or
claim without reference to rules of conflicts of law. Any award rendered by the
arbitrator shall provide the full remedies available to the parties under the
applicable law and shall be final and binding on each of the parties hereto and
their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns and judgment may
be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction. You hereby consent to the
personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware,
with venue in Wilmington, for any action or proceeding arising from or relating
to any arbitration under this Agreement. The prevailing party in any such
arbitration shall be entitled to an award by the arbitrator of all reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration.

Association and the arbitrator. All parties must initial here for this Section 3

(b)    Injunctive Relief in Aid of Arbitration; Forum Selection. You hereby
acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in Section 2 of this
Agreement are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests
of Delta, and that any breach of any of these provisions will result in
immediate and irreparable injury to Delta for which monetary damages will not be
an adequate remedy. You further acknowledge that if any such provision is
breached or threatened to be breached, Delta will be entitled to seek a
temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable relief in
aid of arbitration in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity
of posting a bond, restraining you from continuing to commit any violation of
the covenants, and you hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts of the State of Delaware, with venue in Wilmington,
which shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any claim for a temporary
restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable relief brought
against you by Delta in aid of arbitration.

(c)    Consequences of Breach. Furthermore, you acknowledge that, in partial
consideration for the Award described in the 2012 LTIP and this Agreement, Delta
is requiring that you agree to and comply with the terms of Section 2 and you
hereby agree that without limiting any of the foregoing, should you violate any
of the covenants included in Section 2 above, you will not be entitled to and
shall not receive any Awards under the 2012 LTIP and this Agreement and any
outstanding Awards will be forfeited.

the restrictions as set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement are challenged and
you are not preliminarily or otherwise enjoined from breaching such
restriction(s) pending a final determination of the issues, then, if an
arbitrator finds that the challenged restriction(s) is enforceable, the time
period set forth in such Section shall be deemed tolled upon the filing of the
arbitration or action seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in aid of
arbitration, whichever is first in time, until the dispute is finally resolved
and all periods of appeal have expired.

(e)    Governing Law. Unless governed by federal law, this Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to principles of conflicts of laws of that State.

(f)    Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR IN ANY
WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DISPUTE

YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR DELTA TO
ISSUE AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT.

contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable in any respect, such holding shall not affect any other provisions
in this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein. The
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of
this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other

APPENDIX A
The terms of this Appendix A shall apply to the Option Award set forth in the
Agreement to which this Appendix is attached. Capitalized terms that are used
but not otherwise defined in the Agreement have the meaning set forth in the
2012 LTIP and the 2007 Performance Plan.

OPTION
1.    Exercise Period/Performance Measures. Subject to the terms of the 2007
Performance Plan, the 2012 LTIP and the Agreement, including this Section of
Appendix A, an Option shall:

(a)     vest and become exercisable with respect to one-third of the Shares on
each of the following dates (each an “Option Installment Vesting Date”):

(i)
The date the Committee certifies that the Company's actual performance results
meet or exceed Threshold level with respect to at least two of the three
performance measures applicable to the Performance Awards under the Delta Air
Lines, Inc. 2011 Long-Term Incentive Program (the “2011 LTIP”) as of the end of
the performance period ending December 31, 2012, which performance measures are
set forth in Section 4(b)(iii) of the 2011 LTIP (the “First Option
Installment”);

(ii)
The date the Committee certifies that the Company's actual performance results
meet or exceed Threshold level with respect to at least two of the three
performance measures applicable to the Performance Awards as of the end of the
Performance Period under the 2012 LTIP, which performance measures are set forth
in Section 4(b)(iii) of the 2012 LTIP (the “Second Option Installment”); and

(iii)
February 1, 2015; provided that the performance criteria set forth in Section
1(a)(ii) above have been satisfied (the “Third Option Installment”)1; and

(b)    be exercisable through and including the day immediately preceding the
tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”).

Any Option Installment that does not vest and become exercisable as described
above shall be immediately forfeited.

2.        Change in Exercisability and Exercise Period upon Termination of
Employment. The exercisability of the Option and the exercise period set forth
in Section 1 above is subject to the following terms and conditions:
  
(a)    Without Cause or For Good Reason. Upon a Participant's Termination of
Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason
(including the Termination of Employment of the Participant if he is employed by
an Affiliate at the time the Company sells or otherwise divests itself of such
Affiliate), the Pro Rata Option Portion of any Option Installment that is not
exercisable at the time of such Termination of Employment (i) will vest and
become exercisable, if applicable, under Section 1(a) above in the same manner
and to the same extent as if the Participant's employment had continued and (ii)
the entire then exercisable portion of the Option, as applicable, shall be
exercisable
________________
1The number of Shares subject to each Option Installment will be equal to the
total number of Shares subject to the Option Award divided by three; provided
that if this formula results in any fractional Share allocation to any Option
Installment, the number of Shares in the First Option Installment, and, if
necessary, the Second Option Installment, will be increased, so that only full
Shares are covered by each Option Installment. For example, if an Option Award
covers 1,000 Shares, the Option will become exercisable with respect to 334
Shares under the First Option Installment, and 333 Shares under each of the
Second and Third Option Installments.

A-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

during the period: (A) beginning on the applicable Option Installment Vesting
Date and (B) ending on the earlier of (1) the third anniversary of such
Termination of Employment or (2) the Expiration Date. Upon a Participant's
Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for
Good Reason, any portion of the Option that is not exercisable at the time of
such Termination of Employment, other than the Pro Rata Option Portion, shall be
immediately forfeited.

“Pro Rata Option Portion” means, with respect to any Option Installment that is
not exercisable at the time of a Participant's Termination of Employment, the
number of Shares covered by such Option Installment multiplied by a fraction (i)
the numerator of which is the number of calendar months from the Grant Date to
the date of such Termination of Employment, rounded up for any partial month and
(ii) the denominator of which is twelve (12) for the First Option Installment,
twenty-four (24) for the Second Option Installment, and thirty-six (36) for the
Third Option Installment.2 
(b)    Voluntary Resignation. Upon a Participant's Termination of Employment by
reason of a voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason or Retirement):
(i) any portion of the Option that is not exercisable at the time of such
Termination of Employment shall be immediately forfeited and (ii) any portion of
the Option that is exercisable at the time of such Termination of Employment
shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (A) 90 days after such Termination
of Employment or (B) the Expiration Date.
(c)    Retirement. Subject to Section 2(f) below, upon a Participant's
Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, the Pro Rata Option Portion
of any Option Installment that is not exercisable at the time of such
Termination of Employment (i) will vest and become exercisable, if applicable,
under Section 1(a) in the same manner and to the same extent as if the
Participant's employment had continued and (ii) the entire then exercisable
portion of the Option shall be exercisable during the period: (A) beginning on
the date of such Termination of Employment and (B) ending on the earlier of (1)
the third anniversary of such Termination of Employment or (2) the Expiration
Date. Pro Rata Option Portion has the meaning set forth in Section 2(a) above.
Upon the Participant's Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, any
portion of the Option that is not exercisable at the time of such termination,
other than the Pro Rata Option Portion, shall be immediately forfeited.

(d)     Death or Disability. Upon a Participant's Termination of Employment due
to death or Disability, any Option Installment that is not exercisable at the
time of such Termination of Employment shall vest and become exercisable and the
then exercisable portion of the Option shall be exercisable during the period:
(i) beginning on the date of such Termination of Employment and (ii) ending on
the earlier of (A) the third anniversary of such Termination of Employment or
(B) the Expiration Date.

(e)     For Cause. Upon a Participant's Termination of Employment by the Company
for Cause, any unexercised portion of the Option shall be immediately forfeited,
including any portion that was then exercisable.
(f)    Retirement-Eligible Participants Who Incur a Termination of Employment
for Other Reasons. If a Participant who is eligible for Retirement is, or would
be, terminated by the Company without Cause, such Participant shall be
considered to have been terminated by the Company without Cause for purposes of
the Agreement rather than having retired, but only if the Participant
acknowledges that, absent Retirement, the Participant would have been terminated
by the Company without Cause. If, however, the employment of a Participant who
is eligible for Retirement is terminated by the Company for Cause, then
regardless of whether the Participant is considered as a retiree for purposes of
any other

will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

program, plan or policy of the Company, for purposes of the Agreement, the
Participant's employment shall be considered to have been terminated by the
Company for Cause.
(g)    Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 5
of the 2012 LTIP, upon a Participant's Termination of Employment by the Company
without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (including the Termination
of Employment of the Participant if he is employed by an Affiliate at the time
the Company sells or otherwise divests itself of such Affiliate) on or after a
Change in Control but prior to the second anniversary of such Change in Control,
any Option Installment that is not exercisable at the time of such Termination
of Employment shall vest and become exercisable, and the entire then exercisable
portion of the Option shall be exercisable during the period (i) beginning on
the date of such Termination of Employment and (ii) ending on the earlier of (A)
the third anniversary of such Termination of Employment or (B) the Expiration
Date.
