accordance with this Section 4, all of the Warrants shall be fully exercisable
commencing of the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date.
(b) Early Exercise Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(d)

(i) The Warrant Holder will have the right at any time
during the first Measuring Period (as defined in Section
4(c) below), to exercise Warrants, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 10 hereof, equal to [**]% or
[**]% of the Shares, as applicable, provided that,
except as otherwise provided in Sections 4(b)(iii) and
4(b)(iv) hereof, (i) the right to exercise Warrants for
[**]% of the Shares shall not accrue unless and
-1-
until the Company has, on an aggregated basis during the
first Measuring Period, received at least [**] million
of Net Revenues (as also defined in Section 4(c) below)
from tickets sold during such Measuring Period for
travel on the Warrant Holder, its subsidiaries and/or on
the Warrant Holder's code share partners using Warrant
Holder's code (collectively, "Warrant Holder and its
Code Share Partners"), and (ii) the right to exercise
Warrants for [**]% of the Shares shall not accrue unless
and until the Company has, on an aggregated basis during
the first Measuring Period, received at least $[**]
million of Net Revenues from tickets sold during such
Measuring Period for travel on the Warrant Holder and
its Code Share Partners.
(ii) The Warrant Holder will have the right at any time
during the second Measuring Period and all remaining
Measuring Periods thereafter, to exercise Warrants,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 hereof,
equal to [**]% or [**]% of the Shares, as applicable, or
such lesser percentage of the Shares as shall constitute
all of the remaining Shares not then exercisable;
provided that (i) the right to exercise Warrants for
[**]% of such Shares shall not accrue unless and until
the Company has, on an aggregated basis during the
applicable Measuring Period, received at least $[**]
million of Net Revenues from tickets sold during such
Measuring Period for travel on the Warrant Holder and
its Code Share Partners, and (ii) the right to exercise
Warrants for [**]% of such Shares shall not accrue
unless and until the Company has, on an aggregated basis
during the applicable Measuring Period, received at
least $[**] million of Net Revenues from tickets sold
during such Measuring Period for travel on the Warrant
Holder and its Code Share Partners.
(iii) Notwithstanding the Net Revenue benchmarks specified in
clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(b) for the early
exercisability of Warrants, if, in any Measuring Period,
the Company fails to achieve the minimum Net Revenues
from ticket sales for travel on Warrant Holder and its
Code Share Partners necessary to enable Warrant Holder
to exercise Warrants for the [**]% or [**]% portion of
Shares that would otherwise become exercisable if such
benchmarks were achieved during such Measuring Period,
then, effective on the last day of such Measuring Period
and thereafter, Warrant Holder (i) shall have the right
to exercise Warrants for the [**]% portion of Warrants
that would otherwise become exercisable upon achieving
the corresponding Net Revenue benchmark for such
Measuring Period, if Warrant Holders and its Code Share
Partners' percentage of the aggregate of all ticket sale
revenues (calculated using the same methodology used to
calculate Net Revenue hereunder) received by the Company
for U.S. originating O&D's for such Measuring Period
equals or exceeds [**]% of Warrant Holder's Fair Share
(as defined in Section 4(c) below) (the "[**]% Fair
Share Threshold"), and (ii) shall have the right to
exercise Warrants for the [**]% portion of Warrants that
would otherwise become exercisable upon achieving the
corresponding Net Revenue benchmark for such Measuring
Period, if Warrant Holder's and its Code Share Partners'
percentage of the aggregate of all ticket sale revenues
received by the Company for U.S. originating O&D's for
such Measuring Period equals or exceeds [**]% of Warrant
Holder's Fair Share (the "[**]% Fair Share Threshold").
-2-
(iv) In the event that the Company does not achieve the
$[**] million Net Revenue benchmark specified in
clauses (i) of this Section 4(b) and Warrant Holder does
not achieve the [**]% Fair Share Threshold specified in
clause (iii) of this Section 4(b) for the early
exercisability of Warrants for the first Measuring
Period, Warrant Holder shall have the right upon
completion of the first Measuring Period and thereafter
to exercise Warrants for the [**]% portion of Warrants
that would otherwise become exercisable upon the
Company's achieving the $[**] million Net Revenue
benchmark or Warrant Holder's achieving the [**]% Fair
Share Threshold for such Measuring Period, if, during
the entire term of the first Measuring Period, Warrant
Holder does not voluntarily participate in any "demand
collection system" (as defined in Section 4 (d)) other
than the Company's and its affiliates' airline ticket
services.
(c) Measuring Periods and Net Revenue.
(i) As used in this Warrant Agreement, the term "Measuring
Period" shall mean a 12-month period, with the first
such Measuring Period commencing on the Date the Warrant
Holder first provides tickets for sale by the Company
following the Grant Date (the "First Ticket Date").
Subsequent Measuring Periods will expire on the second,
third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the First Ticket
Date, respectively, except that the fifth Measuring
Period shall end on the fifth (5Th) anniversary of the
Issue Date.
(ii) As used in this Warrant Agreement, the term "Net
Revenue" shall mean the total ticket revenue received by
the Company from tickets sold for travel on the Warrant
Holder and its Code Share Partners, net of federal
excise and segment taxes, passenger facility charges and
related fees. The parties acknowledge that credit card
processing fees, and any processing fees or similar fees
charged by the Company to the consumer in connection
with the sale of a ticket shall not be included in the
calculation of Net Revenue..
(iii) As used in this Warrant Agreement, the term "Fair Share"
shall mean Warrant Holder's domestic market share
calculated as a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be Warrant Holder's RPM's for U.S. originating O&D's
only, and the denominator of which shall be the total
RPM's for U.S. originating O&D's only of all of the
Company's participating airlines.
(d) Warrant Holder's right to early exercise under Section 4(b) is
contingent upon Airline's participating exclusively in the
Company's leisure airline ticket service as the only "demand
collection system" for Warrant Holder's sale of airline
tickets over the Internet. For purposes of this Section 4(d),
"demand collection system" is narrowly defined as an airline
ticket service that (i) enables a consumer to name the price
the consumer willing to pay for one or more airline tickets
(ii) enables the seller to bind the consumer to the consumer's
offer price upon the seller's acceptance of the consumer's
offer, and (iii) does not permit the consumer to specify the
exact airline on which the consumer is willing to fly. In
order for Warrant Holder to be entitled to the early exercise
rights specified in Section 4(b), Warrant Holder must not at
any time between the date hereof and the date
-3-
exercises an early exercise of Warrants in accordance with
Section 4(b) participate in any "demand collection system"
other than the Company's for the sale of airline tickets over
the Internet. For example, if in the first Measuring Period,
the Company achieves Net Revenues to that would entitle the
Warrant Holder to exercise Warrants for [**]% of the Shares,
the Warrant Holder will be entitle to exercise such Warrants
at all time thereafter so long as the Warrant Holder at all
times from the date hereof though the date of such exercise
has not participated in another "demand collection system" for
the sale of airline tickets over the Internet. If at any time
from the date hereof though to the fifth 5th anniversary of
the Grant Date, the Warrant Holder participates in another
"demand collection system" for the sale of airline ticket over
the Internet, the Warrant Holder's early exercise rights will
terminate and be of no further force or effect, and such
Warrants will become exercisable on the fifth 5th anniversary
of the Grant Date.
5. Exercise of Purchase Rights.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4 of this Warrant
Agreement, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant Agreement are
exercisable by the Warrant Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from
time to time during the period set forth in Section 3 above, by tendering to the
Company at its principal office a duly completed and executed notice of exercise
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Notice of Exercise"), the
Warrants and the Exercise Price. Upon receipt of such items, the Company shall
issue to the Warrant Holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common
Stock purchased. The Warrant Holder, upon exercise of the Warrants, shall be
deemed to have become the holder of the Shares represented thereby (and such
Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of
business on the date or dates upon which the Warrants are exercised. In the
event of any exercise of the rights represented by the Warrants, certificates
for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Warrant Holder or its
designee as soon as practical and in any event within ten (10) business days
after receipt of such notice and, unless the Warrants have been fully exercised
or expired, new Warrants representing the remaining portion of the Warrants and
the underlying Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant Agreement
shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Warrant Holder as
soon as possible and in any event within such ten-day period.
(b) Net Issue Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock is
greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below),
in lieu of exercising the Warrants for cash, the Warrant Holder may elect to
receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of the Warrants (or
portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of the Warrants at the principal
office of the Company together with the duly executed Notice of Exercise in
which event the Company shall issue to the Warrant Holder a number of shares of
Common Stock computed using the following formula: X=Y(A-B)/ A WHERE X= the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant Holder; Y= the
number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable under the Warrants or, if only
a portion of the Warrants is being exercised, the portion of the Warrants being
canceled (at the date of such calculation); A= the fair market value of one
share of the Company's Common Stock (at the date of such calculation); and B=
Exercise Price (at the date of such calculation). For purposes of the above
calculation, fair market value of one share of the Common Stock shall be equal
to the closing trading price of the Company's Common Stock on the day
immediately prior to the date the Notice of Exercise is tendered to the Company.
6. Reservation of Shares. The Company will at all times have authorized
and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the
exercise of the rights to purchase the Shares as provided in this Warrant
Agreement. All of the Shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon
-4-
such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free
and clear of all preemptive rights.
7. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant Holder's
rights to purchase the Shares.
8. No Rights as Shareholder. This Warrant Agreement does not entitle the
Warrant Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company prior to the exercise of the Warrant Holder's rights to purchase the
Shares as provided for herein.
9. Redemption. The Warrants represented by this Warrant Agreement are not
redeemable by the Company.
10. Adjustment Rights. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time,
as follows:
(a) Merger. If at any time there shall be a merger or consolidation
of the Company with or into another corporation when the Company is not the
surviving corporation, then, as part of such merger or consolidation, lawful
provision shall be made so that the holder of the Warrants evidenced hereby
shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of rights herein granted,
during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the
successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which a
holder of the stock deliverable upon exercise of the rights granted in this
Warrant Agreement would have been entitled in such merger or consolidation if
such rights had been exercised immediately before such merger or consolidation.
In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
provisions of this Warrant Agreement with respect to the rights and interests of
the holder after the merger or consolidation. The Company will not effect any
such merger or consolidation unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the
successor corporation shall assume, by written instrument reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Warrant Holder, the obligations of the
Company under the Warrants.
(b) Reclassification, Etc. If the Company at any time shall, by
subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities or otherwise, change
any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement
exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or
classes, this Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire
such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of
such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase
rights under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such subdivision,
combination, reclassification or other change.
(c) Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at
any time shall split or subdivide its Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased and the number of Shares issuable pursuant to this
Warrant Agreement shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time
shall combine or reverse split its Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable pursuant to this
Warrant Agreement shall be proportionately decreased.
(d) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time shall pay a dividend
payable in Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and
after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (i) the numerator
of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such dividend and (ii) the denominator of which shall be
the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
dividend. The Warrant Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Common
Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share)
-5-
obtained by multiplying (i) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise hereof immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product
thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(e) Other Changes. If any change in the outstanding Common Stock of
the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of this
Section 10 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable, would not
fairly protect the purchase rights of the Warrant Holder in accordance with such
provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an adjustment
in the number of and class of shares available under the Warrants, the Exercise
Price or the application of such provisions, so as to protect the purchase
rights of the Warrant Holder. The adjustment shall be such as will give the
Warrant Holder upon exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price the total
number, class and kind of shares or other property as the Warrant Holder would
have owned had the Warrants been exercised prior to the event and had the
Warrant Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring
adjustment.
(f) Notice of Adjustments; Notices. Whenever the Exercise Price or
number of shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 10
hereof, the Company shall issue a certificate signed by its Chief Executive
Officer or Chief Financial Officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by
which such adjustment was calculated and the Exercise Price and number of shares
purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause a
copy of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to
the holder of this Warrant. The Company shall give written notice to the Warrant
Holder at least 10 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books
or takes a record for determining rights to receive any dividends or
distributions. The Company shall also give written notice to the Warrant Holder
at least 30 business days prior to the date on which a merger or consolidation
of the Company with or into another corporation when the Company is not the
surviving corporation shall take place.
(g) No Change of Warrant Necessary. Irrespective of any adjustment
in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant, unless the Warrant Holder otherwise requests, this
Warrant Agreement may continue to express the same price and number and kind of
shares of Common Stock as are stated in this Warrant Agreement as initially
executed.

applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in

transferred or assigned otherwise than in accordance with applicable law. Upon
compliance with applicable law and surrender of the Warrants to the Company with

be made a party to that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights
Agreement, dated as of December 8, 1998, by and among the Company, the
