Second Amendment

to

Delta Founder Airline
Services Agreement

 

This Second Amendment to the Delta Founder Airline
Services Agreement (this “Second Amendment”), dated as of January 10, 2005, by
and between Worldspan, L.P. (“Worldspan”), Worldspan Technologies Inc.
(formerly known as Travel Transaction Processing Corporation) (“WTI”) and Delta
Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”) amends the Delta Founder Airline Services Agreement,
dated as of June 30, 2003, by and among Worldspan, WTI and Delta, as amended by
the Amended and Restated First Amendment to the Delta Founder Airline Services
Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2004 by and between Worldspan and Delta (the “Amended
and Restated First Amendment”) (as so amended, the “Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Agreement provides, among other things,
that Worldspan will provide certain credits to Delta to be applied against
service fee payments due from Delta to Worldspan under the Agreement;

WHEREAS, Worldspan, WTI and Delta entered into the
Amended and Restated First Amendment and now desire to enter into this Second
Amendment to reflect certain terms and provisions as provided herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements,
terms and conditions set forth herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.                                       Section 4.4(b)(2) is hereby amended to
add the following provision to the end of such section:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
4.4(b)(2), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) WTI’s claim for
indemnification relating to Greek taxes and penalties and books and records
violations to the extent set forth in the letter dated September 30, 2004 to
Delta, NWA Inc. and American Airlines, Inc. (the “First Greek Tax Indemnity
Claim”), (ii) WTI’s claim for indemnification relating to Greek taxes and
penalties and books and records violations to the extent set forth in the
letter dated January 5, 2005 to Delta, NWA Inc. and American Airlines, Inc.
(the “Second Greek Tax Indemnity Claim,” and together with the First Greek Tax
Indemnity Claim, the “Greek Tax Indemnity Claims”) and (iii) to the extent not
specified in the Greek Tax Indemnity Claims, any other liabilities,
obligations, assessments and claims with respect to (v) income taxes, (w) value
added taxes, (x) stamp duties, (y) liabilities relating to any violation of the
code of books and records and (z) penalties relating to any of the foregoing
(collectively, clauses (i)-(iii), the “Taxes and Liabilities”), in each case
which is paid by Worldspan or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or
branches pursuant to any Greek Tax Final Determination (as defined below) shall
each be deemed solely for the purposes of this Section 4.4(b)(2) to constitute
a Delta Indemnity Claim which is

[**] Confidential treatment

the Commission.

 

permitted to be made under the Partnership
Interest Partnership Agreement; provided, however, that such Delta Indemnity
Claim is only being deemed to be permitted under the Partnership Interest
Purchase Agreement for purposes of determining that Worldspan is entitled to
recoup the amount of any such Delta Indemnity Claim under this Section
4.4(b)(2) and provided, further, that any such Taxes and Liabilities which are
allocable the period following June 30, 2003 shall not constitute a Delta
Indemnity Claim.  In the event of any Greek Tax Final
Determination, Worldspan shall be entitled to exercise its recoupment rights
under this Section 4.4(b)(2) with respect to its obligations to provide Delta
FASA Credits or pay FASA Credit Excess Amounts, FASA Credit Payments or Delta
Continuing Payments in the aggregate amount equal to any Delta Greek Tax Amount
(as defined below) which is paid by WTI, Worldspan or any of its direct or
indirect subsidiaries or branches as a Delta Indemnity Claim Amount, without
any requirement or obligation on the part of Worldspan to deposit such amount
into an escrow account pursuant to the Worldspan/Delta Indemnity Claim Escrow
Agreement or any other escrow account and notwithstanding the fact that the
Greek Tax Final Determination occurs after September 30, 2004.  Any obligations which are so recouped by
Worldspan pursuant to the prior sentence shall be referred to as “Recouped
Amounts”; provided, however, that if all or any portion of a Recouped Amount is
subsequently reversed, canceled, rejected or otherwise nullified or all or any
portion of Recouped Amount is subsequently returned to Delta pursuant to the
definition of “Net After-Tax Basis” in the Partnership Interest Purchase
Agreement, such amount shall no longer be a Recouped Amount.  The parties acknowledge and agree that there
may be more than one Greek Tax Final Determination.  Delta acknowledges and agrees that Delta’s
obligation to indemnify WTI with respect to the Greek Tax Indemnity Claim, a
Delta Greek Tax Amount or any Greek Tax Final Determination includes the
obligation to indemnify Worldspan, L.P. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any Greek Tax Final
Determination, WTI and Worldspan shall have the right, at their sole
discretion, to elect to exercise the recoupment rights provided in this Section
4.4(b)(2) in lieu of accepting a cash indemnity payment from Delta for any
Delta Greek Tax Amount; provided, that Worldspan gives written notice of such
election to Delta within 10 business days of payment by Worldspan of any amount
representing a Delta Greek Tax Amount; and provided, further, that nothing
contained in this Section 4.4 will affect the rights of WTI and Worldspan to
enforce the indemnification provisions of the Partnership Interest Purchase
Agreement (if applicable) against Delta with respect to any payment or
liability relating to the Greek Tax Indemnity Claim, any Delta Greek Tax Amount
or any Greek Tax Final Determination which does not constitute a Recouped
Amount.  As used herein, a “Greek Tax
Final Determination” shall mean any final, nonappealable determination by the
applicable governmental authority in the country of Greece with respect to an
assessment against Worldspan or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or
branches (including, without limitation, Worldspan Services Limited,
the Greek branch of Worldspan Services Limited (“WSL”) or Worldspan Greece
Global Travel Information Services Sole Partner E.P.E.) relating to Taxes and
Liabilities during
the period 1993-2003, provided, that the Amnesty Program Decisions (as defined
below) shall constitute a Greek Tax Final Determination and provided, further,
that any Taxes and Liabilities

2

 

which are allocable to the period following June 30, 2003 shall not for
purposes of this Second Amendment constitute part of the Greek Tax Final
Determination; “Delta Greek Tax Amount” means [**]% of the total amount paid by
Worldspan to the applicable Greek governmental authorities pursuant to any
Greek Tax Final Determination; “Delta Paid Amount” shall mean the aggregate
total Delta Greek Tax Amount paid by Delta through the applicable date (whether
in cash or by virtue of Recouped Amounts); and “Amnesty Program Decisions”
shall mean any decision, determination or settlement proposed by the applicable
Greek government authority pursuant to an amnesty and/or settlement program
relating to Taxes and Liabilities payable by Worldspan or any of its direct or
indirect subsidiaries and branches with respect to the period 1993-2003,
including without limitation, (i) the Settlement Note issued by the government
of Greece, Ministry of Economy and Finance, and accepted by Worldspan on or about
December 20, 2004, for income taxes and VAT payable in the amount of €[**] plus the [**] relating thereto and
(ii) the Settlement Note issued by the government of Greece, Ministry of
Economy and Finance in December 2004 for Taxes and Liabilities payable by Worldspan
Greece Global Travel Information Services Sole Partner E.P.E. in the amount of €[**]. 
In the event that a Delta Continuing Payment becomes due and payable by
Worldspan prior to the Final Amnesty Determination (as defined below) and the
payment (whether in cash or by virtue of Recouped Amounts) in full by Delta of
all Delta Greek Tax Amounts payable pursuant to all Amnesty Program Decisions,
then solely for purposes of determining the amount of the Delta Continuing
Payment, the Delta Indemnity Claim Amount relating to the Greek Tax Liability
shall equal the amount by which $[**] exceeds the Delta Paid Amount as of the
applicable date (the “Estimated Delta Greek Tax Liability”).  In such an event as described in the previous
sentence, upon the final determination of the matters described in the
definition of Amnesty Program Decisions (the “Final Amnesty Determination”) (it
being understood and agreed that the parties hereto intend that Final Amnesty
Determination shall occur when the applicable Greek governmental authority
issues a decision, determination or settlement with respect to all of the Taxes
and Liabilities):  (i) in the event that
the aggregate of all Delta Greek Tax Amounts with respect to such Amnesty
Program Decisions is less than $[**], then Worldspan and WTI shall jointly and
severally reimburse Delta for the difference between the aggregate of such
Delta Greek Tax Amounts and $[**] as an additional portion of the Delta
Continuing Payment within five business days after the occurrence of the Final
Amnesty Determination and (ii) in the event that the aggregate of all Delta
Greek Tax Amounts with respect to such Amnesty Program Decisions is more than $[**],
then Delta shall pay such difference to Worldspan as an indemnification payment
pursuant to Section 10.3(k) of the Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement.

2.                                       Section 4.8 is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

“4.8         Termination of
FASA Credits.

(a)                                  Upon Delta’s receipt of the FASA Credit

Election Notice”) to Delta stating that Worldspan has elected to pay the FASA
Credit Termination Payment (as defined below). 
If a Prepayment Election Notice is delivered in accordance with the
previous sentence, then Worldspan shall pay to Delta by wire transfer of
immediately available funds an amount equal to the FASA Credit Termination
Payment on the date specified in the Prepayment Election Notice, provided that
such payment shall not be made later than the earlier of (x) December 31, 2005
or (y) 30 days after the date of the Prepayment Election Notice (the “30-Day

Termination Payment in January, 2005;

in each case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii),

(A) the amount of any Delta FASA Credits applicable under Schedule

(C) the amount of any Delta FASA Claim Amounts which have not, prior to
the date of the FASA Credit Termination Payment, been reflected in a Current

the date of this Second Amendment, and

(D) in the event of a FASA Credit Termination Payment prior to the
Final Amnesty Determination and the payment (whether in cash or by virtue of
Recouped Amounts) in full by Delta of all Delta Greek Tax Amounts, the amount

(d)                                 Upon receipt of the FASA Credit
Termination Payment, Delta shall no longer earn and shall no longer be entitled
to any Delta FASA Credits earned under the Agreement other than Prior Period
FASA Credits and Worldspan shall have no further rights or obligations under
Section 4.4 of the Agreement, including with respect to any Delta FASA Credits,

(e)                                  Upon the occurrence of a Delta General

without cause by Delta in breach of Section 7.1(b) hereof, each prior to June

effective time of such termination until and including June, 2012, an amount in

on Schedule 4.4(a) hereto equal to the amount listed on such schedule for such
month multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days

(f)                                    In the event of a reduction to the FASA

such Delta Greek Tax Amounts as an additional portion of the FASA Credit
Termination Payment within five business days after the Final Amnesty Determination
and (ii) in the event that the aggregate of all Delta Greek Tax Amounts with
respect to such Amnesty Program Decisions is more than $[**], then Delta shall pay such

3.                                       (a)                                  Worldspan and
WTI each hereby covenants and agrees to comply with Section 9.15 of any Founder
Airline Services Agreement between Worldspan and any other Founder Airline and
Section 17 of any Worldspan/Northwest Indemnity Claim Escrow Agreement, or
similar or substitute agreement (the “Non-Discrimination Provisions”) between
Worldspan and/or WTI and any other Founder Airline as the Non-Discrimination
Provisions may relate to the transactions contemplated by this Second Amendment
and shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Delta,
its officers, directors and Affiliates (each, a “Delta Indemnitee”), from, and
reimburse any Delta Indemnitee for any Loss (as defined in the Partnership

with any claim, action or suit (each, a “Claim”) brought by any Founder Airline
or any of its Affiliates against any Delta Indemnitee with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Second Amendment to the extent resulting from
acts or omissions by Worldspan or WTI; provided that the indemnification
provided under this Section 3 shall not apply to any Claims or Loss to the

omissions of any Delta Indemnitee (including with respect to any breach or
default by any Delta Indemnitee of any contract, agreement or instrument
applicable to such Delta Indemnitee) and shall not apply to any Claims or Loss
relating in any way to the redemption of the notes pursuant to the Note

(b)                                 As promptly as practicable, and in any
event within 30 days, after any Delta Indemnitee shall receive any notice of,
or otherwise become aware of, the commencement of any Claim or the assertion of
any Claim, for which indemnification is provided for under this Section 3 (an “Indemnification
Event”), such Delta Indemnitee shall give written notice (an “Indemnification
Claim”) to the party from which such indemnification is (or, under such
assumption, could be) sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) describing in reasonable
detail the Indemnification Event and the basis on which indemnification is (or,
under such assumption, could be) sought; but the failure of the Delta Indemnitee
to give the Indemnification Claim within such time period shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder in respect of such
Indemnification Event (or the facts or circumstances giving rise thereto)
except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced or
harmed as a consequence of such failure. 
The Indemnifying Party shall (whether or not the Delta Indemnitee is
entitled to claim indemnification under this Section 3) be entitled to, and the
Delta Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnifying Party with the right to,
participate in, and assume sole control over, the defense and settlement of
such Claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Delta Indemnitee);
provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties
shall (x) provide written notice to the Delta Indemnitee of its or their
election to assume control of the defense of such Claim and (y) have expressly
agreed in writing that, as between the Indemnifying Party and the Delta
Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to satisfy and
discharge such Claim, (ii) the Delta Indemnitee shall be entitled to
participate in the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel at its own
expense to assist in the handling of such Claim, provided that if there is an
actual conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Delta
Indemnitee, which in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Delta Indemnitee
would prevent one counsel from representing both the Indemnifying Party and the
Delta Indemnitee in any matter, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for
all such reasonable counsel expenses of the Delta Indemnitee, and (iii) the
Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Delta
Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
before entering into any settlement of such Claim or ceasing to defend against
such Claim if (x) as a result of such settlement or ceasing to defend,
injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Delta
Indemnitee or (y) in the case of a settlement, the Delta Indemnitee would not
thereby receive from the claimant an unconditional release from all further
liability in respect of such Claim. 
After written notice by the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties
to the Delta Indemnitee of its or their election to assume control of the
defense of any such Claim, subject to the provisions of the following
exceptions, the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable
hereunder to indemnify any Person for any Legal Expenses (as defined below)
subsequently incurred in connection therewith. 
If the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties do not assume sole
control over the defense or settlement of such Claim as provided in

7

 

this Section 3 within a reasonable period of time, or,
after assuming such control, fails to diligently defend against such Claim in
good-faith (it being agreed that settlement of such Claim does not constitute
such a failure to defend) the Delta Indemnitee shall have the right (as to
itself) to defend and, upon obtaining the written consent of the Indemnifying
Party if such Indemnifying Party is liable for the Losses with respect to such
Claim, settle the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, and the
Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Delta Indemnitee therefor in
accordance with this Section 3. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, the Delta
Indemnitee shall have the right at all times to take over and assume the
control (as to itself) of the defense or settlement of any Claim; provided,
however, that in such event and if the Delta Indemnitee has not taken over
control of such Claim under the previous sentence the Indemnifying Party or
Indemnifying Parties shall cease to have any obligation under this Section 3 in
respect of such Claim.  The Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable under this Section 3 for any settlement or compromise
effected without its consent.

(c)                                  The Delta Indemnitee and the Indemnifying
Party shall each cooperate fully (and shall each cause its Affiliates to
cooperate fully) with the other in the defense of any Claim pursuant to Section
3.  Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each such Person shall furnish the other such Person (at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party) with such documentary or other evidence as
is then in its or any of its Affiliates’ possession as may reasonably be
requested by the other Person for the purpose of defending against any such
Claim.

(d)                                 As used herein, “Legal Expenses” means
fees, costs and expenses of any kind incurred by any Delta Indemnitee and its
counsel in investigating, preparing for, defending against or providing
evidence, producing documents or taking other action with respect to any
threatened or asserted claim.

4.                                       Schedule 1.3 to the Agreement is hereby
amended to add the following definitions:

“Initial Public Offering” means the initial underwritten sale of common
equity interests of WTI, or any affiliate of WTI other than Worldspan (each,
and WTI, a “WTI Entity”) to the public pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with gross proceeds to
any one or more WTI Entity of $200,000,000 or more, if immediately thereafter
any WTI Entity has publicly held common equity interests listed on a national
securities exchange or NASD automated quotation system.”

“WTI” means Worldspan Technologies Inc. (formerly known as Travel
Transaction Processing Corporation).

5.                                       Except as expressly provided in this
Second Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in
full force and effect and are fully binding upon and enforceable against the
parties hereto.

8

 

6.                                       This Second Amendment may not be amended
or modified except by a written agreement signed by Worldspan and Delta.

7.                                       This Second Amendment shall be governed
by, and shall be enforced and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of New York (other than its rules regarding conflicts of laws).

8.                                       This Second Amendment may be executed in
several counterparts, and all counterparts so executed shall constitute one
agreement, binding on the parties hereto, notwithstanding that such parties are
not signatories to the same counterpart.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused
this Second Amendment to be duly executed as of the day and year first written
above.

agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive

 

 

hereby agrees to
be an employee of the Company, in each case, as of December 1, 2004 (the “Effective Date”).  Unless specifically provided for herein, no
other terms or benefits shall be applicable to Executives employment with the
Company.  The Executive represents that (i)
he is entering into this Agreement voluntarily and that his employment
hereunder and compliance with the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict
with or result in the breach by him of any agreement to which he is a party or
by which he may be bound, (ii) he has not violated, and in connection
with his employment with the Company will not violate, any non-solicitation,
non-competition or other similar covenant or agreement by which he is or may be
bound and (iii) in connection with his employment with the Company he
will not use any confidential or proprietary information he may have obtained
in connection with employment with any prior employer other than the Company.

 

3.     Term;
Positions and Responsibilities.  (a)  Term. 
Unless the Executive’s employment shall sooner terminate pursuant to
Section 7, the Company shall employ the Executive hereunder for a term commencing
on the Effective Date, and continuing until December 1, 2005.  Thereafter, the term of employment under this
Agreement will automatically renew for successive and consecutive one month
periods following the end of its initial term and any extended term, unless the
Company or the Executive gives the other party written notice at least 5 days
prior to the date the term hereof would otherwise renew that it or he does not
want the term to be so extended.  The period
during which the Executive is employed pursuant to this Agreement shall be
referred to as the “Employment Period.”

 

(b)  Position
and Responsibilities.  During the
Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as the Senior Vice President
Finance of the Company or in a comparably titled position.  The Executive shall have such duties and
responsibilities as are customarily assigned to individuals serving in such
position, and such other duties consistent with the Executive’s title and
position as the Company specifies from time to time.

 

(c)  Business
Time.  During the Employment Period,
the Executive agrees to devote his full attention during normal business hours
to the business and affairs of the Company and to use his best efforts to
perform faithfully and efficiently the responsibilities assigned to him
hereunder, to the extent necessary to discharge such responsibilities, except
for periods of vacation, sick leave and other time off to which he is entitled
and other activities specifically approved by the Company.

 

4.     Compensation.  (a)  Base
Salary.  As compensation for the
services to be performed by the Executive during the Employment Period, the
Company shall pay the Executive a base salary at the annualized rate of
$226,000, payable in installments on the Company’s regular payroll dates (but
no less frequently than monthly); provided, however, that such base salary
shall be subject to decrease in accordance with broad-based employee salary
reduction programs instituted by the Company from time to time.  Holding’s Board (the “Board”) shall review
the Executive’s base salary annually during the Employment Period and, in its
sole discretion, may increase such base salary from time to time.  The annual base salary payable to the
Executive under this Section 4(a), as the same may be decreased or increased
from time to time, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Base Salary.”

in addition to the Base Salary, Executive shall be eligible to participate in
the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan that the Company provides to other
senior executives (the “Performance Bonus”)
with a target Performance Bonus of 45% of Executive’s base salary.  Executive’s objectives of Adjusted EBITDA,
Net Debt Reduction, weighting of each objective, and payout scale for each
objective shall be the same as for the other Senior Vice Presidents of the
Company.  However, any Performance Bonus
payable to Executive shall not be paid until the end of the Employment Period,
shall be prorated based on the number of months of Executive’s services in the
Employment Period, and shall be capped at a maximum payout of 150 percent of
target for any partial calendar year periods, and at 200% for any full calendar
year periods worked.

 

5.     Employee
Benefits.  During the Employment
Period, the Executive (and, to the extent applicable, his eligible family
members and dependents) shall be eligible to participate in or be covered under
all medical, dental, hospitalization, group life insurance, short term
disability, long term disability, and other employee welfare benefit plans that
the Company provides to all of its United States senior executives

in connection with his performance of services hereunder, upon submission of

(b)  Termination by the Company.  The Company may terminate the Executive’s
employment with or without Cause.  For

Company or its affiliates, (ii) a judicial determination that the
Executive committed fraud, misappropriation, or embezzlement against any
Person, or (iii) the Executive’s breach of any terms of this Agreement
or willful or gross and repeated neglect or misconduct in the performance of
his duties under Section 3(b) hereof, provided that in the case of the
preceding clause (iii), the Company shall first have given the Executive
written notice identifying the Executive’s breach, neglect or misconduct, and
the Executive shall have failed to satisfactorily cure (as determined in good
faith by the Company) such breach, neglect, or misconduct within 15 days after
receiving such written notice from the Company.

 

(c)  Termination by Executive.  The Executive may terminate his employment at
any time with or without Good Reason. 
For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason”
means any of the following actions by the Company without the Executive’s
written consent:

 

(A)                              The
failure by the Company or Holding to elect the Executive to the position set
forth in the first sentence of Section 2(b) or the removal of the Executive
from any such position;

 

(B)                                A
reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or Performance Bonus opportunity
(other than as provided in Section 3); or

 

(C)                                The
failure of the Company to obtain the assumption in writing of its obligation to
perform this Agreement by any successor as contemplated by Section 10(b);

 

provided that the Executive shall have first delivered
a written notice to the Company of his intention to terminate his employment
for Good Reason within 30 days of having actual knowledge of such act or acts
or failure or failures to act and such notice stating in detail the particular
act or acts or failure or failures to act that constitute the grounds on which
the proposed termination for Good Reason is based, and the Company shall have
failed to cure such breach, act, failure or conduct within 30 days after
receiving such written notice from the Executive.

 

(d)  Notice of Termination.  Any termination of Executive’s employment by
the Company for Cause or without Cause and any termination by the Executive for
Good Reason or without Good Reason shall be communicated by written notice (a “Notice of Termination”) given in
accordance with Section 11(e) hereof specifying the applicable termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon.

 

(e)  Date of Termination.  For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Date of Termination” means (i)

Employment Period.

4

 

then held by him
with Holding, the Company and their subsidiaries, and hereby authorizes the
Company to execute on his behalf any and all instruments of resignation
necessary to effect the foregoing.

 

8.     Obligations
of the Company upon Termination.  (a)  General.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated
for any reason during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to

vested amounts or benefits, including the Performance Bonus, owing to the

Accrued Obligations shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the applicable plan, program or arrangement.

 

(b)  Termination Following a Change of
Control.

 

(i)                                Subject
to the provisions of Section 8(c), if, during the Employment Period there is a
Change of Control (as defined below) and provided the Executive remains
employed for six months following the closing of the Change of Control event,
or if Executive is terminated by the Company or its successor during such six
month period for other than Cause, or if Executive terminates for Good Reason
during such six month period, Executive shall, in addition to the amounts
provided in Section 8(a), be entitled to receive a cash amount equal to one
years base salary paid as a lump sum. 
The Severance Payment shall be paid within 14 days of the Date of
Termination.

 

(ii)                             For
purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control”
shall be deemed to have occurred if:

 

(A)                              any
person (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)),
other than CVC, OTPP, or any of their Affiliates or Qualified Transferees (as
such terms are defined in the Stockholders Agreement), including any group
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act)), acquires “beneficial
ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly
or indirectly, of securities of Holding representing more than 50% of the
combined Voting Power (as defined below) of Holding’s securities;

 

5

 

(B)                                at
any time after an initial public offering of the common stock of Holding, a
majority of the members of the Board or of the board of directors of any successor
to Holding are not “Continuing Directors” where “Continuing
Director” means, as of any date of determination, any member of
the Board or of the board of such successor who (x) was a member of the Board
or such successor board 24 months prior to the date of determination; (y) was
nominated for election or elected to the Board or such successor board with the
approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors in office at the time of
such nomination or election; or (z) was designated to serve on the Board or
such successor board by CVC or OTPP pursuant to the Stockholder’s Agreement;

 

(C)                                the
stockholders of Holding, if at the time in question Holding is a stock company,
approve a merger, consolidation, share exchange, division, sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Holding (a “Corporate Event”), and immediately
following the consummation of which the stockholders of Holding immediately
prior to such Corporate Event do not hold, directly or indirectly, a majority
of the Voting Power of (x) in the case of a merger or consolidation, the
surviving or resulting corporation, (y) in the case of a share exchange,
the acquiring corporation or (z) in the case of a division or a sale or
other disposition of assets, each surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation
which, immediately following the relevant Corporate Event, holds more than 50%
of the consolidated assets of Holding immediately prior to such Corporate
Event; or

 

(D)                               any
other event occurs which the Board declares to be a Change of Control.

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred (a)
merely as a result of an underwritten offering of the equity securities of
Holding where no Person (including any group (within the meaning of Rule
13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act)) acquires more than 50% of the beneficial
ownership interests in such securities.

 

For
purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), a specified percentage of “Voting Power” of a company shall
mean such number of the Voting Securities as shall enable the holders thereof
to cast such percentage of all the votes which could be cast in an annual
election of directors and “Voting Securities”
shall mean all securities of a company entitling the holders thereof to vote in
an annual election of directors.

 

(c)  Release.  The Executive’s receipt of the benefits
described in Sections 8(a)(iii) and 8(b) is conditioned on the Executive first
executing and delivering to the Company a general release of all claims against
the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Company’s obligation to make any of the
payments and extended benefits described in Sections 8(a)(iii) or 8(b) shall
immediately cease, and the Executive shall immediately return any such
post-termination payments from the Company should the

 

6

 

Company determine
in good faith that the Executive has materially violated the confidentiality,
ownership of developments, non-competition, or non-solicitation provisions
contained in Section 9 of this Agreement.

 

(d)  Discharge of the Company’s
Obligations.  The amounts payable to
the Executive pursuant to this Section 8 following termination of his
employment shall be in full and complete satisfaction of the Executive’s rights
under this Agreement and any other claims he may have in respect of his
employment by Holding or the Company or any of their affiliates, other than
rights arising under any other agreement, plan, program or arrangement to which
the Executive is a party or is covered, including but not limited to those
referred to in Section 4 of this Agreement. 
Such amounts shall constitute liquidated damages with respect to any and
all such rights and claims based on provisions of this Agreement and the
Executive’s employment with the Company and, upon the Executive’s receipt of
such amounts, the Company shall be fully released and discharged from any and
all liability to the Executive in connection with this Agreement or otherwise
in connection with the Executive’s employment with the Company and its
subsidiaries, other than as excepted above.

 

9.     Restrictive
Covenants.  (a)  Confidentiality.  In view of the fact that the Executive’s work
for the Company will bring him into close contact with many confidential affairs
of the Company, information not readily available to the public, and also the
Company’s plans for further developments and activities, the Executive agrees
during the Employment Period and thereafter to keep and retain in the strictest
confidence all confidential matters (“Confidential Information”)
of the Company and its affiliates, including, but not limited to, “know how,”
financial information or plans; track records and other performance data; sales
and marketing information or plans; business or strategic plans; salary, bonus
or other personnel information; information concerning new or potential
products or markets; information concerning new or potential investors,
customers, clients or shareholders; trade secrets; pricing policies;
operational methods; technical processes; computer code; formulae, inventions
and research projects; and other business affairs of the Company and its
affiliates, that the Executive may develop or learn in the course of his
employment, and not to disclose them to anyone outside of the Company, either
during or after his employment with the Company, except (A) in good
faith, in the course of performing his duties under this Agreement, (B)
with the Company’s express written consent (it being understood that
Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include any information that is
publicly disclosed by the Company) or (C) to the extent disclosure is
compelled by a court of competent jurisdiction, arbitrator, agency or other
tribunal or investigative body in accordance with any applicable statute, rule
or regulation (but only to the extent any such disclosure is compelled, and no
further).  On the occasion of the
Executive’s termination as an employee of the Company, or at any time the
Company may so request, the Executive will return to the Company all tangible
embodiments (in whatever medium) relating to Confidential Information that he
may then possess or have under his control.

 

(b)  Ownership of Developments.  The Executive agrees that the Company shall
own all right, title and interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade
secret rights, mask work rights and other rights throughout the world) in any
inventions, works of authorship, mask works, ideas or information made or
conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by the Executive (either
alone or with others) during the Employment Period

 

7

 

(collectively “Developments”); provided that the
Company shall not own Developments for which no equipment, supplies, facility
or Confidential Information of the Company was used, and which were developed
entirely on the Executive’s time and do not relate to the business of the
Company.  Subject to the foregoing, the
Executive will promptly and fully disclose to the Company, or any persons
designated by it, any and all Developments made or conceived or reduced to
practice or learned by the Executive, either alone or jointly with others
during the Employment Period.  The Executive
hereby assigns all right, title and interest in and to any and all of these
Developments to the Company.  The
Executive shall further assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, to
further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain,
maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or
assigned.  The Executive hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its agents as
attorneys-in-fact to act for and on the Executive’s behalf to execute and file
any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed
by the Executive.  In addition, and not
in contravention of any of the foregoing, the Executive acknowledges that all
original works of authorship which are made by him (solely or jointly with
others) within the scope of the employment relationship and which are
protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in
the United States Copyright Act (17 USCA, § 101).

 

(c)  Non-Competition.  During the Employment Period and the
Continuation Period, the Executive shall not, except with the prior written
consent of the Board, directly or indirectly, own any interest in, operate,
join, control or participate as a partner, director, principal, officer, or
agent of, enter into the employment of, act as a consultant to, or perform any
services for any entity listed on Appendix A or any affiliate or successor
thereof or any other entities as the Company and the Executive shall agree from
time to time.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the non-competition covenant set forth herein shall not apply to an
ownership interest amounting to one percent (1%) or less of any class of
securities listed on any of the national securities exchanges or regularly
traded over-the-counter.

 

(d)  Non-Solicitation of Employees.  During the Employment Period and the
Continuation Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for the
Executive’s own account or for the account of any other natural person, firm,
partnership, limited liability company, association, corporation, company,
trust, business trust, governmental authority or other entity (each, a “Person”) in any jurisdiction in
which the Company or any of its affiliates has commenced or has made plans to
commence operations during the Employment Period, (i) solicit for
employment, employ, engage to perform services or otherwise interfere with the
relationship of the Company or any of its affiliates with any natural person
throughout the world who is or was employed by 
for the Company or any of its affiliates at any time during the
Employment Period (in the case of any such activity during such time) or during
the twelve-month period preceding such solicitation, employment or interference
(in the case of any such activity after the Date of Termination or otherwise as
of the date of Executive’s termination of employment with Company), other than
any such solicitation or employment on behalf of the Company or any of its
affiliates during the Employment Period, or (ii) induce any employee of
the Company or any of its affiliates who is a member of management to engage in
any activity which the Executive is prohibited from engaging in

 

8

 

under any of the
paragraphs of this Section 9 or to terminate his or her employment with the
Company.

 

(e)  Non-Disparagement.  During the Employment Period and the
Continuation Period, the Executive shall not take any action or make any
statement that disparages or criticizes Company or any of its affiliates.

 

(f)  Injunctive Relief with Respect to
Covenants; Certain Acknowledgements and Agreements.

 

(i)                                The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of the
Executive with respect to confidentiality, ownership of developments,
non-competition, non-disparagement, and non-solicitation relate to special,
unique, and extraordinary matter and that a violation of any of the terms of
such covenants and obligations will cause the Company irreparable injury for
which adequate remedies are not available at law.  Therefore, the Executive agrees that the
Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order, or such other
equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent
jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the Executive from
committing any violation of the covenants and obligations referred to in this
Section 9.  These injunctive remedies are
cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company may
have at law or in equity.

 

(ii)                             If
any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time determine that, but for
the provisions of this paragraph, any part of this Agreement is illegal, void
as against public policy or otherwise unenforceable, the relevant part will
automatically be amended to the extent necessary to make it sufficiently narrow
in scope, time and geographic area to be legally enforceable.  All other terms will remain in full force and
effect.

 

(iii)                          The Executive acknowledges and
agrees that the Executive will have a prominent role in the management of the
business, and the development of the goodwill, of the Company and its
affiliates and will establish and develop relations and contacts with the
principal customers and suppliers of the Company and its affiliates in the
United States of America and the rest of the world, all of which constitute
valuable goodwill of, and could be used by the Executive to harm, the Company
and its affiliates and that (i) in the course of his employment with the
Company, the Executive will obtain Confidential Information that could be used
to compete unfairly with the Company and its affiliates, (ii) the
covenants and restrictions contained in Section 9 are intended to protect the
legitimate interests of the Company and its affiliates in their respective
goodwill, trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information, (iii)
the Executive desires to be bound by such covenants and restrictions, and (iv)
the Executive represents that his economic means and circumstances are such
that the provisions of this Agreement, including the restrictive covenants in
Section 9, will not prevent him from providing for himself and his family on a
basis satisfactory to him and them.

 

10.  Successors.  (a)  This
Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior written consent
of the Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by

 

9

 

will or the laws
of descent and distribution.  This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s
legal representatives.

 

(b)  This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon Holding, the Company and its successors,
including any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation, acquisition of ownership interests, or otherwise.  The Company shall require any such successor
to expressly acknowledge and agree in writing to assume the Company’s
obligations hereunder

 

11.  Miscellaneous.  (a)  Applicable
Law and Jurisdiction.  This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Georgia, applied without reference to principles of conflict of laws.  Subject to Section 11(b), in any action or
proceeding brought with respect to or in connection with this Agreement, the
Company and the Executive both hereby irrevocably agree to submit to the
jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Georgia, and both parties
consent to receive service of process in the State of Georgia.  Subject to Section 11(b), the Company and the
Executive both agree that any action or proceeding in connection with this
Agreement shall be brought exclusively in a United States court located in the
State of Georgia.

 

(b)  Arbitration.  Except to the extent provided in Section 9(f),
any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement
shall be resolved by binding arbitration. 
The arbitration shall be held in Atlanta and except to the extent
inconsistent with this Agreement, shall be conducted in accordance with the
Expedited Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
then in effect at the time of the arbitration (or such other rules as the
parties may agree to in writing), and otherwise in accordance with principles
which would be applied by a court of law or equity.  The arbitrator shall be acceptable to both
the Company and the Executive.  If the
parties cannot agree on an acceptable arbitrator, the dispute shall be heard by
a panel of three arbitrators, one appointed by each of the parties and the
third appointed by the other two arbitrators. 
The Company and the Executive agree that arbitration costs shall be
borne by the losing party.

 

(c)  Amendments.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified
otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their
respective successors and legal representatives.

 

(d)  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the stock
subscription agreement, the stockholders’ agreement and the stock incentive
plan referred to in Section 4, constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the matters referred to herein; provided,
however, that the Terms of Employment set forth in the Employee Handbook shall
remain in effect and be in addition to the terms of this Agreement except to
the extent inconsistent herewith in which case the terms of this Agreement
shall govern, supersede and prevail.  No
other agreement relating to the terms of the Executive’s employment by the
Company, oral or otherwise, shall be binding between the parties unless it is
in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.  There are no promises, representations,
inducements, or statements between the parties other than those that are
expressly contained herein.  The
Executive acknowledges that he is entering into this

 

10

 

Agreement of his
own free will and accord, and with no duress, that he has read this Agreement,
that he understands it and its legal consequences and that he has had the
opportunity to consult with such advisors as he desired.

[FORM OF]

GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS

 

WHEREAS,
my employment with Travel Transaction Processing Corporation (“TTPC”) and
Worldspan, L.P. (“Worldspan, and together with TTPC and each subsidiary and
affiliate thereof the “Company”) [terminated/will terminate] on                          ;
and

 

WHEREAS,
in connection with the termination of my employment, I am entitled to certain
payments and benefits under the terms of the Employment Agreement between me
and the Company dated as of March 8, 2004 (the “Employment Agreement”) [insert
any other relevant agreement references], subject to my execution and delivery
of this Release; and

 

WHEREAS,
I am a party to the following agreements (as amended from time to time) with
the Company pursuant to which I acquired (or have the right to acquire) equity
securities of the Company:  Management
Stock Subscription Agreement, dated as of           ,
2004, Restricted Stock Subscription Agreement, dated as of           ,

WHEREAS,
I am entitled to certain benefits and subject to certain obligations pursuant
to the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of            ,
2003, among TTPC, [Name] and each of the other parties named in the schedules
thereto (as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the
“Stockholders Agreement”) and to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of
                  ,
2003 among TTPC and each of the other persons party thereto (as amended from
time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Registration Rights
Agreement”); and

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises set forth herein, I, [Name], on
behalf of myself, my agents, representatives, administrators, receivers,
trustees, executives, successors, heirs, designees, legal representatives,
assignees and attorneys hereby irrevocably and forever release, acquit and
discharge TTPC and Worldspan and all affiliated or related companies, parents,
divisions, or subsidiaries, whether said entities are incorporated,
unincorporated associations, partnerships or other entities and their owners, shareholders,
officers, directors, agents, attorneys, partners, members, employees, insurers,
successors and assigns

 

 

and each
of them (collectively, the “Company Group”) from any and all debts, claims,
demands, liabilities, actions or causes of action, of any kind, nature and
description, past or present, known or unknown, which I now have, or may have
or could assert against the Company Group arising out of, or in any way
connected with, my employment or my separation from employment, including but not
limited to any claims or demands for the following:  wrongful discharge; breach of an implied or
expressed employment contract; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional
stress; defamation; fraud; discrimination and/or harassment based on age, sex,
race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, physical or mental
disability, or medical condition; violation of any section of the AIDS
Confidentiality Act, the Equal Employment for Persons with Disabilities Code,
the National Labor Relations Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, The
Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1871, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Age Discrimination

bonuses, commissions, or other compensation of any sort; for damages of any
nature, including compensatory, general, special or punitive; or for costs,
fees or other expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred
regarding these matters.  The foregoing
list is meant to be illustrative rather than inclusive.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this release
and my understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth
below do not (x) preclude me from seeking to obtain any payments or
benefits to which I may be entitled under Section 8 of the Employment
Agreement, under the Management Equity Agreements or under any applicable
employee benefit plans (other than any severance plan or policy or any other
benefit plan or program specifically referred to in the Employment Agreement
and for which payment is made in accordance with the terms of the Employment
Agreement, which payment is stated to be in satisfaction of my rights
thereunder, or any Options, Share grants, subscription or other rights under
the Management Equity Agreements that terminate upon my ceasing to be employed
by the Company), but my entitlement to such payments and benefits, if any, will
be determined in accordance with such agreements and any relevant plan
documents or (y) release any rights under the Stockholders Agreement or
the Registration Rights Agreement, which will be determined in accordance with
the terms of such agreements.  The
foregoing release does not apply to (i) any director and officer or other
insurance coverage applicable to me by virtue of my employment with the Company,
or (ii) any defense and indemnity obligations owed to me by the Company.

If I,
[Name], initiate or participate in any legal action in violation of this
release, TTPC and Worldspan may reclaim any amounts paid in respect of my
termination, without waiving the release granted herein, and terminate any
benefits or payments that are due to me, in addition to any other remedies.

 

FURTHER,
in consideration of said promises and as a further consideration for this
Release, I, [Name], understand, agree, represent and warrant as follows:

 

1.               That this is a full
and final release applying to all unknown and unanticipated injuries, claims,
or damages arising out of said employment, as well as to those now known or
disclosed and that I, [Name], voluntarily waive all rights or benefits which I
now have, with the express intention of releasing and extinguishing unknown or
unsuspected obligations, and I warrant that I am currently unaware of any
claim(s), right(s), demand(s), debt(s), action(s), obligation(s), liability or
cause(s) of action whatsoever against the Company which I have not released
pursuant to this Release.  I, [Name],
understand, agree and acknowledge that this Release is intended to include in
its effect, without limitation, claims and causes of action which I do not know
of or suspect to exist in my favor at the time of executing this Release, and
that this Release contemplates extinguishment of all such claims and causes of
action.

 

2.               That, I, [Name],
have had the opportunity to consult with a representative of my own choosing
with respect to this Release; that I have read this Release; that I am fully
aware of its contents and of its legal effect; and I freely and voluntarily
entered into it.

 

3.               That, I, [Name],
will not file or bring any claims, charges, complaints, or other actions
against the Company or the Company Group arising out of or based upon the
circumstances of my employment or my separation from employment, except as
otherwise expressly required by law or with respect to matters not released
hereunder.

 

4.               That, I, [Name],
warrant that except as expressly set forth herein, no representations of any
kind or character have been made to me by the Company or any of the Company’s
agents, representatives, employees or attorneys (or anyone else purporting to
act in any such capacities) to induce me to execute this Release.

 

5.               That, I, [Name],
acknowledge and agree that none of the Employment Agreement, the consideration
given thereunder or this Release is to be construed as an admission by the
Company or as an admission of any act or fact whatsoever.

 

6.               The consideration
set forth in Section 8 of the Employment Agreement exceeds any amount and/or
consideration to which I would otherwise be entitled under the Company’s
standard operating policies, practices, or as required by law.  Therefore, said consideration is not paid as
wages or other compensation due, but is paid solely in

 

3

 

consideration of
this Release and the provisions set forth herein relating to Confidential
Information.

 

7.               Compliance With Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.

 

In
compliance with the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (P.L. 101-433), the
Company and [Name] do hereby acknowledge as follows:

 

(a)                                  That,
I, [Name], acknowledge that this Release specifically applies to any rights or
claims I may have against the Company or any party released herein under the
federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended;

 

(b)                                 This
Release does not purport to waive rights or claims that may arise from acts or
events occurring after the date that this Release is executed by the parties;

 

(c)                                  That,
I, [Name], acknowledge that the consideration provided for in this Release and
the provisions of this paragraph are in addition to that to which I am already
entitled;

 

(d)                                 That,
I, [Name], understand that this Release shall be revocable for a seven (7) day
period following execution of this Release by me.  Accordingly, this Release shall not become
effective or enforceable until the expiration of this seven (7) day revocation
period.

 

(e)                                  That,
I, [Name], acknowledge that I have been advised of my right to consult with an
attorney, and have in fact consulted with an attorney, prior to signing this
Release and have been given a period of twenty-one (21) days within which to
consider whether to sign this Release.

 

8.                                       This
Release is made in the State of Georgia and shall be interpreted under the laws
of said State. Its language shall be construed as a whole, according to its
fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party.

 

9.                                       In
the event that it shall be necessary for any party hereto to institute legal
action to enforce any of the terms and conditions or provisions contained
herein, or for any breach thereof, the prevailing party in such action shall be
entitled to costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

PLEASE READ
