ARTICLE 1

earlier date upon which this Agreement may be terminated in accordance with the

ARTICLE 2

AMERICAN CONTENT

 

2.1                                 American Content Availability in the
Territory. After the Commencement Date, and subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, American will provide to Worldspan for distribution by Worldspan via
its GDS to applicable Worldspan Agencies in the Territory, [**] or, except as
specified in this Agreement, [**], timely and complete access to, and the
ability to generate Bookings from, [**].

 

2.2                                 Content Parity.

 

(a)                                  Except as otherwise specified in this
Agreement (including subsections (b), (c) and (d) below), American will deliver
the American Content to Worldspan in a manner that does not intentionally
discriminate against or disfavor Worldspan when compared to the manner of
delivery of the same or substantially the same types of American Content
provided to any other GDS in the Territory. American will make American Content
available to Worldspan, so that Worldspan can make the American Content
available to Worldspan Agencies via the Worldspan GDS, [**]. For purposes of
interpreting this provision, the Parties agree that determining the levels and
amounts of American Content and assessing the relative delivery of American
Content includes consideration of the following factors: (i) access to the
American Content, including access to availability data, and polling of
availability data, Fares, and Fare rules; (ii) numbers of Fares and Fare
inventory classes; (iii) speed, care, and priority given to handling of message
activity and timeliness of provision of availability related information; and
(iv) timeliness of corrections and updates to any inaccurate or incomplete
American Content.

 

(b)                                 The obligations of American in
Section 2.2(a) above shall be suspended if Worldspan is not complying with its
material obligations under this Agreement, [**]. In addition, the obligations of
American in Section 2.2(a) above are further subject to any agreement that
may exist between American and a Worldspan Agency, pursuant to which American
may be entitled to take actions which would otherwise represent a breach of the
obligations in Section 2.2(a).

 

(c)                                  Nothing in this Agreement prohibits
American from offering discounts or benefits to a select group of travelers in
the event of customer service failures or operational issues, and in no case
will American be required to make the same offering to Worldspan or Worldspan
Agencies, so long as American in making such offers or benefits available does
not discriminate solely on the basis of the GDS used.

 

(d)                                 The Parties recognize that American
may continue its existing practice of offering special access to inventory
through American’s web sites or its internal reservations personnel to select
individuals based on that individual’s value to American,

Agencies, so long as American does not provide such access generally to
subscribers of another GDS in the Territory.

Section 2.2, there are no other restrictions or commitments as to parity imposed
on American during the Term by this Agreement. In addition, [**].

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

 

Agencies, corporations, and other organizations that [**]. The Parties will
[**]. In addition, within ninety days after the Agreement Date, [**].

 

4.2                                 [**]. Within ninety days after the Agreement
Date and on a quarterly basis thereafter during the Term, appropriate
representatives of the Parties will meet to identify [**] opportunities relating
to [**] Product for the purpose of creating more revenue opportunities for
American, Worldspan, or the Worldspan Agency Base.

 

4.3                                 Improper Use of American Content. In the
event that either Party becomes aware that a Worldspan Agency is improperly
using, or failing to use, the American Content provided by Worldspan, then that
Party shall promptly bring such fact to the attention of the other Party, and
the Parties will reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to any
efforts taken with respect to such Worldspan Agency in connection with its
improper use of, or failure to use, such American Content.

 

4.4                                 [**]. Notwithstanding anything in the
Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the
provisions of this Agreement will not be applicable with respect to [**], and
(ii) the [**] will be determined in accordance with the provisions of the PCA,
rather than this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 5
[**]

clarifications and confirmations of the substance of all current agreements,
arrangements and practices with respect to [**].

 

5.2                                 Correction of Errors. Worldspan shall

inaccuracies in [**] loaded by or stored by Worldspan or Worldspan Contractors
in the Worldspan GDS, or errors, corruption and inaccuracies in the search and
display functionality of the Worldspan GDS that relate to [**], to the extent
any such errors, corruptions or inaccuracies are caused by Worldspan or
Worldspan Contractors. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not an error,
corruption, or inaccuracy in the search and display functionality of the
Worldspan GDS if such functionality is operating correctly, as designed by
Worldspan, for all participating carriers. If an itinerary is Booked or ticketed
by Worldspan in error (e.g., issued at the incorrect price, or with incorrect
taxes, or with incorrect Fare surcharges) or if Fare inventories, or Fare rules,
Fare construction principles, or system data or logic affecting pricing have
been maintained or applied incorrectly due to an error by Worldspan, then

comply with all Data Protection Laws, as applicable to the processing of [**]

damage or alteration of [**] in the possession of Worldspan (the “Data
Safeguards”) [**]. Worldspan shall also give reasonable consideration to
American’s recommendations for Data Safeguards. Worldspan shall ensure that it
is protecting such [**] from unauthorized access, destruction, use,
modification, or disclosure. Worldspan shall immediately notify American if
there are any breaches of the requirements of this provision, including any
licensing or unauthorized use of [**]. Worldspan shall

 

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

[**] Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has
been filed separately with the Commission.

 

7

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

 

also provide all reasonably requested assistance in investigating such breaches
and taking remedial steps to prevent further breaches. Without limiting or
affecting American’s rights under this Agreement, in the event Worldspan
discovers or is notified of a breach or potential breach of the Data Safeguards
or any Data Protection Laws, or any other unauthorized disclosure or use of
[**], then Worldspan shall immediately (i) notify American of such breach or
potential breach and (ii) if the applicable [**] was in the possession of
Worldspan or a Worldspan Contractor at the time of such breach or potential
breach, Worldspan shall promptly (1) investigate and remediate the effects of
the breach or potential breach and (2) provide American with assurances
reasonably satisfactory to American that such breach or potential breach will
not recur. [**].

 

5.4                                 Data Security-American. To the extent that
Worldspan can demonstrate to American’s reasonable satisfaction that Worldspan
is under obligations under statute or regulation to impose security obligations
similar to those in Section 5.3 on American with respect to data that Worldspan
provides to American under the PCA or this Agreement, then American agrees to
work in good faith with Worldspan to amend this Agreement to incorporate such
security obligations to the extent required by the statute or regulation.

Each Party waives any right to appeal the arbitration award, to the extent a
right to appeal may be lawfully waived. Each Party retains the right to seek
judicial assistance (i) to compel arbitration, (ii) to obtain interim measures
to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending arbitration,
and (iii) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the existence of any
Dispute or the fact that the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this
Section 6.2 have been or may be invoked, each Party will continue to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, unless and until this Agreement is terminated
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

For disputes relating to [**], American can seek remedies at law or in equity in
any jurisdiction or court of competent authority, including seeking injunctions,
