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.

as follows:
(a) Existence and Power. The Warrant Holder is a (i) is a

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of priceline.com Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of priceline.com
Incorporated (the "Company") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the period July
18, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the period July 18, 1997
(inception) to December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
