IT MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO EFFECTUATE SUCH TRANSACTION. PARTICIPATION WARRANT AGREEMENT To Purchase Shares of Common Stock Dated as of November 17, 1999 PRICELINE.COM INCORPORATED a Delaware Corporation Issue Date: November 17, 1999 THIS CERTIFIES THAT, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (the "Warrant Holder"), with a place of business at 1030 Delta Boulevard, Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport, Atlanta Georgia 30320, for value received, is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Participation Warrant Agreement (this "Warrant Agreement"), to subscribe for and purchase fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $.008 per share (the "Common Stock"), of priceline.com Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). 1. Issuance of Warrants. On the Issue Date, the Company will issue to the Warrant Holder warrants (the "Warrants") to acquire Five Million Five Hundred Thousand (5,500,000) shares of the Common Stock (the "Shares"), subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided pursuant to Section 10 herein. 2. Exercise Price. The Warrants have an exercise price of $56.625 per share of Common Stock, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 of this Warrant Agreement (the "Exercise Price"). 3. Term. The Warrants are fully vested on the Issue Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of the Warrants and the right to purchase Shares as granted herein shall be exercisable on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Issue Date; provided, further, that if any of the Warrants first become exercisable on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Issue Date, the Warrant Holder will have an additional six months thereafter to exercise its purchase rights in respect of those Warrants (the end of such five year period and additional six months, if applicable, being referred to herein as the "Termination Date"). 4. Exercise Events. (a) General. Unless otherwise exercisable at an earlier date, in accordance with this Section 4, all of the Warrants shall be fully exercisable commencing of the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 4(b) to the contrary, no Warrants granted hereunder shall be exercisable prior to March 16, 2000. (b) Early Exercise Rights. (i) If, at any point during the period between November 17, 1999 and November 16, 2000 (the "First Measuring Period"), the Company receives Net Revenue (as defined in Section 4(c)) of at least $180 million (the "First Measuring Period Net Revenue Benchmark") from tickets sold during the First 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"), the Warrant Holder will thereupon and thereafter have the right to exercise Warrants, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 hereof, equal to 50% of the Shares. In the event that the Company does not achieve the First Measuring Period Net Revenue Benchmark during the First Measuring Period, the Warrant Holder will still be entitled to exercise Warrants, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 hereof, equal to 50% of the Shares upon the expiration of the First Measuring Period and thereafter if, during the entire term of the First Measuring Period, Warrant Holder does not voluntarily participate in any name-your-price airline ticket service other than the Company's and its affiliates' airline ticket services. (ii) In addition to Warrant Holder's early exercise rights under Section 4(b)(i), if during the period between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2000 (the "Second Measuring Period"), the Company receives Net Revenue (as defined in Section 4(c)) of at least $80 million (the "Second Measuring Period Net Revenue Benchmark") from tickets sold during the Second Measuring Period for travel on the Warrant Holder and its Code Share Partners, the Warrant Holder will on January 1, 2001 and thereafter have the right to exercise Warrants, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 hereof, equal to 100% of the Shares. (c) Net Revenue. 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. Attached hereto as Exhibit D is an example of the calculation of Net Revenue. 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 of Common Stock equal to the value (as determined below) of the Warrants (or portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of the Participation Warrant Agreement 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 exercised; 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 this Section 5(b), the calculations contemplated by this Section 5(b) shall be made as of the close of business on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the delivery of this Warrant Agreement and the related Notice of Exercise and the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock shall be equal to the sales price, regular way, as reported on Nasdaq or if no such reported sale takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, as reported on Nasdaq or if no such bid or ask prices are reported, the average of the bid and ask prices of a New York Stock Exchange member. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a net issue exercise pursuant this Section 5(b) within two business days of the surrender of this Warrant Agreement and related Exercise Notice. 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 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 with respect to the underlying Shares 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 immediately exercise the Warrants 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 and this Warrant Agreement. (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) 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. 11. Representations and Warranties of the Warrant Holder. The Warrant Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows: (a) Existence and Power.
