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 April 1, 2005, Orbitz 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.

	(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

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. 



	•
	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

	Development
of AA-Specific Functionality or AA-Competitive Functionality



	•
	Profile
Databases



	•
	Presentation
and web design



	•

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,

Response Time" will mean the total elapsed time added to a Transaction from initiating a Booking Engine service call/request to the receipt of the corresponding response
attributed to the Orbitz Software. 


        "ITA
Query Response Time" will mean the total elapsed time added to a query from initiating a Query service call/request to the receipt of the corresponding response attributed to ITA
Software. 


2.     Expected Transaction Volume  


        (a) Sixty (60) days in advance of the Launch Date, AA will provide Orbitz with a forecast of the Expected Transaction Volumes by month for the upcoming
Service Level Period. The first month's projected volume should be no more than 1/12th of the Maximum Transaction Volume. 


        (b)
If the actual Transaction volume exceeds the Guaranteed Transaction Volume for any particular calendar month and the Monthly System Availability is adjusted pursuant to
Section A(3)(g) of this Exhibit, the parties may mutually agree to prospectively adjust the forecast of Expected Transaction Volumes for the upcoming months, based on historical data and
anticipated events. Unless otherwise 




	***
	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-i







 

agreed
by the parties, in no event will the total Expected Transaction Volumes for a given Service Level Period exceed the applicable Maximum Transaction Volume. 



	(c)
	Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at least every six months, the parties will review the Expected Transaction Volume trend and, if indicated, may mutually agree to prospectively adjust
the forecast of Expected Transaction Volumes for the upcoming months, based on historical data and anticipated events. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, in no event will the total Expected
Transaction Volumes for a given Service Level Period exceed the applicable Maximum Transaction Volume.



	(d)
	The
concept of Expected Transaction Volume applies only to the Orbitz booking engine software. 




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.

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.

	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 AA.com 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. 


7.     Escalation for Cases of Hosting Failure  



        (a) In the event the Orbitz Software is not accessible or operational for any consecutive [***]-hour period, or for a
cumulative total of [***] hours or more in any [***]-hour period, AA may, in its sole discretion, send its employees and/or
consultants to the physical facilities at which the Orbitz Software

Quality Checks—AA has the right to conduct quality performance reviews of all performance related records and raw performance data to establish validity of reported
service level data. Orbitz shall provide all pertinent data necessary to verify the validity of the performance report(s). AA requires the SLA performance data collection and data access processes to
be repeatable, reliable and accurate. AA agrees to make such requests for time periods 90 days or less from the date such request is made. 


 
 

C. TERMINATION OPTION AND LIMITATION OF REMEDIES    
    


1.     Termination Option  


        In the event (a) of a Material Service Level Failure, or (b) that AA is entitled to receive System Response Time Credits for any
[***] months during a Service Level Period, AA may terminate this Agreement for cause and without penalty upon thirty (30) days written
notice. Such termination will be AA's sole and exclusive remedy for a Material Service Level Failure or Orbitz's failure to maintain System Response Time 


2.     Limitation of Remedies  


        In no event shall the total of System Availability Credits, System Response Time Credits, Service Resolution Credits and/or Notification Credits (individually and
collectively, a "Credit") due AA during any month exceed the value of [***] percent ([***]%) of the sum of the Fixed License and Hosting Fee

and
ITA Hosting Fee for such month. Further, in no event shall the total of Credits due AA during any Service Level Period exceed the value of [***] percent
([***]%) of the sum of the Fixed License and Hosting Fee and the ITA Hosting Fee during that Service Level Period. Each such Credit owed AA will be calculated within
15 days after each month of the Service Level Period and applied to the next invoice or scheduled payment 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. 


3.     Earnback.  


        Orbitz shall have the earnback opportunity with respect to Credits paid or owed to AA pursuant to this Exhibit, as follows: 


        Within
30 days after each Service Level Period, Orbitz shall report on each performance obligation for which there was a Credit. If Orbitz achieved a yearly performance average
that was greater than or equal to the agreed upon performance obligation, Orbitz shall be refunded (or relieved from paying, as the case may be) the amount of Credit formerly paid (or owed) for such
performance obligation.

Orbitz
High Availability Booking Engine

Summary 


To
provide business continuity in event of a complete or partial data center disaster Orbitz will run the AA.com 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 AA.com 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 


Orbitz
currently has facilities in two data centers in the Chicagoland area. AA will be included in Orbitz's future plans to enhance both geographic diversity of the data centers and vendor diversity
in providers. AA will be migrated along with Orbitz in any future plans if the costs remain the same for enhancing the geographic and vendor diversity.
