Re: TRADEMARK CONSENT
Dear Mr. Johnston:
Please accept this letter as the consent of Galileo International,
L.L.C. (the "Company") to the use by ObjectSpace, Inc. ("ObjectSpace") of any
name, trade name, trade dress, trademark, service mark, logo, and similar mark
or likeness of the Company or its subsidiaries (collectively, "Company Marks")
in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to ObjectSpace's initial
public offering of common stock and the related prospectus, including any
pre-effective and post-effective amendments thereto (collectively, the "IPO
Documents") and the first ObjectSpace Annual Report on Form 10-K required to
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission following the IPO (the
"10-K") provided, however, that the Company first has reviewed and approved
the use of any Company Mark in any such IPO Document and the 10-K. Such
approval shall not be withheld unreasonably. With respect to any other filing
with the SEC, Galileo shall consider consent to the inclusion of Company Marks
on a case-by-case basis.
This letter also shall serve as consent to the inclusion of the case
study in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A in the IPO Documents and the
10-K (the "Approved Case Study"). Please note that the Approved Case Study has
been modified slightly from the version you forwarded to us; a marked copy is
attached for your convenience. With respect to any other filing with the SEC,
Galileo shall consider consent to the inclusion of the Approved Case Study on
a case-by-case basis. With respect to agreements between the Company and the
ObjectSpace that ObjectSpace determines, in its reasonable discretion, are
"material" and must be filed by ObjectSpace with the SEC, the Company requests
that ObjectSpace give the Company reasonable notice prior to any such filing.
To the extent any such agreement contains any Company confidential
information, the

Company will so advise ObjectSpace and ObjectSpace will seek confidential
treatment form the SEC for such confidential information.
The Company hereby accepts your offer to indemnify and hold the
Company harmless from any and all liability resulting from the inclusion of
Company Marks and the Approved Case Study in any IPO Document and the 10-K and
any subsequent filings that include the Company Marks and Approved Case Study
and to which the Company consents. The Company does not make any
representation or warranty as to the truth or accuracy of the Approved Case
Study by granting its consent.
Very truly yours,
GALILEO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

EXHIBIT A
GALILEO INTERNATIONAL
Galileo International is one of the world's leading providers of
global distribution services for the travel industry.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE. Galileo has historically provided global
distribution services for travel agencies located throughout the world and
travel supplies, including more than 500 airlines, 38 car rental companies,
44,700 hotel properties and all major cruise lines. Galileo wanted to enable a
new business model by expanding the potential user base of its services over
the Internet. The challenge was to allow traditional customers such as travel
agencies and end-user corporations, as well as new classes of customers such
as application service providers and wireless communications companies, to
quickly and easily integrate travel services into their business solutions.
Because Galileo's customers typically have a broad range of disparate systems
that use proprietary or closed technologies, the challenge for Galileo was to
install a business-to-business infrastructure that could easily extend its
services over the Internet while integrating with a variety of operating
platforms and communications standards.
SOLUTION. Galileo implemented our OpenBusiness solution to integrate
its travel services with new delivery and communication methods. Our
OpenBusiness Infrastructure Platform simplified the process of integrating
Galileo's internal applications prior to being extended over the Internet.
Galileo has initially utilized our solution to develop a new service offering
that enables travelers to view and modify flight reservations using wireless
devices, including cell phones, personal digital assistants and two way
pagers. The new distribution channel gives Galileo the ability to access
incremental customers and derive additional revenue. In addition, Galileo
intends to utilize our solution to integrate its travel services with several
application service providers and wireless communications companies to further
extend its potential base of new Internet users.
