SECTION 3. 
Disputes.

agreement entered into among any of the parties pursuant to the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, whether based on this Agreement, the

3

 

agreements, shall not prevent the enforcement of these covenants.  American acknowledges that Buyer is
purchasing the goodwill of Worldspan and the covenants contained in
Section 2 of this Agreement are essential to the protection of Buyer’s
investment in Worldspan and that Buyer would not purchase Worldspan but for

a breach by American of this Agreement shall cause irreparable harm to
Worldspan and Buyer and that Worldspan’s and Buyer’s remedies at law for any breach

in addition to any other remedy to which such non-breaching party may be
entitled at law or in equity.

 

SECTION
4.  Blue-Penciling.

 

If any court or arbitrator, as the case may
be, determines that any restrictive covenant herein, or any part thereof, is
unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provisions or
other reason, it is the intention of the parties that such court shall have the
power to modify any such provisions to the extent necessary to render the
provisions enforceable, and such provisions as so modified shall be enforced.

Waivers.

 

The terms of this Agreement may be waived

require compliance therewith; provided, however, that neither
Worldspan nor Buyer may waive any provision of this Agreement without also
offering to waive, if applicable, the same provision under each of the
Northwest Non-Competition Agreement and the Delta Non-Competition

party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof.  No waiver on the part
of any party of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude any further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

 

SECTION 12.

matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements and

SECTION 8. 
Rules of Construction.

 

The captions and other headings contained in
this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be considered a
part of, or affect the construction and interpretation of, any provision of
this Agreement.  All terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning commonly ascribed thereto in the travel
industry.

 

SECTION 9. 
Successors and Assigns.

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure
to the benefit of, and be enforceable by or against the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that
no party hereto may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the other parties hereto to any Person other than a Person that
(i) acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the assigning
party, and (ii) either agrees, or by operation of law is required, to comply
with and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as the
assigning party.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Worldspan may assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder in
whole or in part to any Affiliate of Worldspan and may collaterally assign its
rights hereunder to any lender or financing source to Worldspan or Buyer, in
each case, without the consent of Delta.

 

SECTION
10.  No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

 

This Agreement shall be for the benefit of
the parties hereto and none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for
the benefit of or enforceable by any third party; provided, however, that
Northwest and American shall be third party beneficiaries to the proviso
contained in Section 5 and the proviso contained in the first sentence of Section
11, and shall have the right to enforce such provisions directly.

 

SECTION
11.  Waivers.

 

The terms of this Agreement may be waived
only by a written instrument signed by the party that would have been able to
require compliance therewith; provided, however, that neither
Worldspan nor Buyer may waive any provision of this Agreement without also
offering to waive, if applicable, the same provision under each of the
Northwest Non-Competition Agreement and the American Non-Competition Agreement.  No delay on the part of any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof.  No waiver on the part of any
party of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude any further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

 

SECTION
12.  Entire Agreement.

 

This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements and understandings, both
written and oral, between the parties hereto or their Affiliates or any of them
with respect to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, the
Non-Competition Agreement, dated July 25, 2001, among Delta, Northwest,
American and Worldspan.

SECTION 13. 
Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
be considered one and the same instrument.
