Dear ▇▇▇▇:
In recognition of your appointment as Executive Vice President and President, Travel Solutions of Sabre Corporation (“the Company), I am pleased to present to you the following compensation package effective July 23, 2018 (the “Effective Date”). This letter (the “Amendment”) amends your letter agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of April 5, 2017 and amended on November 27, 2017, between the Company and you.
| • | Job Description / Title / Duties: The two sentences of Section 1(a) of the Agreement are amended to read as follows: “Effective as of the Effective Date, you will serve as Executive Vice President and President, Travel Solutions of the Company. You shall have all of the authority, and perform all of the functions, that are consistent with such position, as determined by the Company and generally described as the top executive for overseeing all operations for Travel Solutions.” |
| • | Base Salary: Section 3 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows: “Effective as of the Effective Date, your annual base salary will be $675,000 (“Base Salary”), less withholding for taxes and deductions, which under the Company’s current payroll practices will result in a bi-weekly payment of $25,961.54, less withholding for taxes and deductions, based on 26 pay periods in a year. Your Base Salary will be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or a committee of the Board (any revised Base Salary will then be referred to as the “Base Salary”).” |

The annual bonus for a particular calendar year will be paid to you no later than March of the year following the year in which that bonus was earned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the Company’s 2018 fiscal year, your Target Bonus will be 85% from January 1, 2018 to July 22, 2018 and 95% from July 23, 2018 to December 31, 2018.” |

The grant is expected to be made under the Sabre Corporation 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable award agreement issued in connection with the grant.” |
