Dear Roshan,

Congratulations on your new role as Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. We are pleased to present to you the following offer effective June 8, 2020 (the "Effective Date"), subject to Board approval.

Base Salary: Effective July 6, 2020, your annualized base salary will be $500,000 ("Base Salary"), less withholding for taxes and deductions, which under the Company's current payroll practices will result in a bi-weekly gross pay rate of $19,230.77. Your Base Salary will be reviewed annually in accordance with our regular company review process.

Annual Bonus: Effective your promotion date, your annual target cash bonus under Sabre's Executive Incentive Program ("EIP") will be equal to 85% of your Base Salary, based on your attainment of pre-established performance goals as approved each calendar year by the Company's Board of Directors or a committee of the Board. The annual bonus will be paid to you no later than March of the year following the year in which that bonus was earned. Your bonus will be prorated for your time in position (SIP and EIP).

Promotion Equity Grant: You will receive a promotional equity grant of $1,000,000. Your grant will be delivered in an equal number of stock options and performance restricted stock units (PSUs) using a stock price of $14.00 per share to calculate your award. Your award will be granted on the next regularly scheduled grant date following the Effective Date, which is June 15, 2020. The stock options will vest 33⅓% per year on the anniversary of the grant date and will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of Sabre stock on the grant date. Half of the PSUs granted will vest 33⅓% on each of (1) June 15, 2021 with the number of PSUs vesting being based on 2020 adjusted EBITDA performance, (2) March 15, 2022 with the number of PSUs vesting being based on 2021 adjusted EBITDA performance and (3) March 15, 2023 with the number of PSUs vesting being based on 2022 adjusted EBITDA performance. The remaining half of the PSUs granted will vest on March 15, 2023 based on the Company achieving its three-year Free Cash Flow (EBITDA less PP&E) goal for 2020 through 2022.

Participation in the Company's Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan: You will remain eligible to participate in the Company's LTI program and the new target grant value for this position is
$1,500,000.

You will continue to be subject to the Company's Stock Ownership Guidelines, but with a new guideline level of three (3) times your base salary. You will have five years from your promotion to achieve this level; however, in the interim you will continue to be subject to certain share retention requirements until you meet this guideline level.






Relocation: You will be eligible to receive relocation assistance and benefits beginning January 1, 2021. It is expected you will relocate to the DFW area by December 31, 2021. Per our discussion we will continue to assess this arrangement on an ongoing basis. Your relocation assistance will be provided in accordance with the Sabre Expatriate and Temporary Duty Assignment Policy.
Expatriate Benefits: The Company provided expatriate benefits will be in accordance with the summary and time periods described in Appendix A.
Termination Provisions: You will be eligible to participate in the Company's Executive Severance Plan as a Level 2 Employee, as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board, which will provide you with certain severance benefits in the event of your termination of employment by the Company other than for Cause or your resignation for Good Reason (each as defined in the Executive Severance Plan, a copy of which is enclosed with this letter) and which otherwise addresses the treatment of your termination of employment.
All compensation payments described in this letter are subject to the approval of Board of Directors of the Company and will be paid in accordance with the Company's customary payroll practices and the requirements of applicable law.
We value your contributions and leadership and are excited to have you as a key leader in our organization. Please sign and return this letter to me, indicating your acceptance and understanding, no later than June 5, 2020.
Sincerely,
