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 Amended 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 issued to the
Warrant Holder warrants (the "Original Warrants") to acquire Five Million Five
Hundred Thousand (5,500,000) shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of
$56.625 (subject to adjustment). On the Amendment Date, the Company canceled
Original Warrants to purchase Eight Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand (825,000)
shares of the Common Stock and reduced the exercise price of the remaining
warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase Four Million Six Hundred and Seventy Five
Thousand (4,675,000) shares of the Common Stock (the "Shares") to the price set
forth in Section 2 below.

      2. Exercise Price. The Warrants have an exercise price equal to the
closing sales price per share of the Company's Common Stock on the NASDAQ
National Market on November 3, 2000, but in no event shall exceed $5.5626 per
share of Common Stock, as may be 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.

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.

                  (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

<PAGE>

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 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.

<PAGE>

            (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.

with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, the
Warrant Holder of this Warrant Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.

            (d) Binding Effect. This Warrant Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by the Warrant Holder and constitutes the valid and binding
obligations of the Warrant Holder, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,

            (f) Restricted Securities. The Warrant Holder understands that the

Investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities
Act, as presently in effect.

be issued upon exercise of the Warrants, are being acquired for investment and
that such Warrant Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the
Warrants, or any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the
Warrants except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities

<PAGE>

Act"), or any applicable state securities laws. The Warrants and all shares of
Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants (unless registered under) the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

            OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. THEY MAY NOT BE
            SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE
            TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
            RELATED THERETO UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
            OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT SUCH
            REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO EFFECTUATE SUCH TRANSACTION."

      (b) Exchange, Transfer, Assignment. The Warrants cannot be exchanged,
transferred or assigned otherwise than in accordance with applicable law.
Warrant Holder shall not sell, hedge or transfer, directly or indirectly
(whether through establishment of an offsetting derivative position, or
otherwise), more than 50% of the Warrants or any interest therein or in the
Shares issued or issuable upon exercise thereof for a period of one year from
the Amendment Date. Upon compliance with applicable law and the terms of the
Warrant Agreement and surrender of the Warrants to the Company with the
Assignment Form annexed hereto as Exhibit B duly executed, and funds sufficient
to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver
a new Warrant Agreement in the name of the heir, devisee or assignee named in
such instrument of assignment and this Warrant Agreement shall promptly be
canceled. Subject to the terms hereof, the Warrants may be assigned in whole or
in part.

      13. Registration Rights. Upon the parties' execution of this Warrant
Agreement and the Acknowledgment and Agreement to the Amended and Restated
Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, Warrant Holder shall
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
stockholders of the Company named therein and such other stockholders and
warrant holders of the Company made a party thereto. In addition, within 30 days
of the execution of this Warrant Agreement, the Company agrees to enter into an
agreement with Warrant Holder, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Warrant Holder, which shall grant Warrant Holder the right to transfer its
registration rights pursuant to such Amended and Restated Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of December 8, 1998 to any assignee or assignees of all or
any part of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof, which
assignees, upon their execution and delivery of an Acknowledgment and Agreement
to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the
form of Exhibit C hereto (with appropriate changes therein) shall each have all
the rights and obligations of a Demand Stockholder (as defined in such
Agreement) under such Agreement; provided that no registration statement with
respect to less than a minimum of 250,000 Shares shall be required to be
effected by the Company thereunder for the benefit of any such assignee.

            (a) No Consequential Damages. No party hereto shall be entitled to
consequential damages as a result of any breach of a covenant, representation or
warranty contained herein.
