                             a Delaware Corporation

                                                    Issue Date: February 6, 2001

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 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, by virtue of this Warrant
Agreement, the Warrant Holder is the holder of warrants (the "WARRANTS") to
acquire 26,947,368 shares of the Common Stock (the "SHARES") (subject to
adjustment as hereinafter provided pursuant to Section 10).

      2. EXERCISE PRICE. The Warrants have an exercise price of $2.96875 per
share of Common Stock, as may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section
10 of this Warrant Agreement (the "EXERCISE PRICE"). The Exercise Price shall be
paid by Warrant Holder by surrendering shares of Series B Redeemable Preferred
Stock, par value $0.01, of the Company (the "PREFERRED STOCK"). The number of
shares of Preferred Stock to be surrendered per share of Common Stock by Warrant
Holder as payment of the Exercise Price shall be determined by dividing the
Exercise Price by $1000 (the Stated Amount per share of Preferred Stock).

      3. TERM. The Warrants are fully vested and exercisable 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 until the close of
business on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Issue Date or, if earlier, on the
date that all the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock issued to the
Warrant Holder on the date hereof (or any replacements therefor) are redeemed
pursuant to Section 6(A) of the Certificate of Designations of the Preferred
Stock, at which point the Warrants shall expire (the "TERMINATION DATE"). If at
the Termination Date the Company fails to redeem any outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof, the Termination Date shall
be extended until the Company so redeems such shares.

      4. MANDATORY EXERCISE. At any time that the closing sales price of the
Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, subdivisions, combinations,
recapitalizations and other similar changes) on the principal U.S. exchange on
which such securities are then listed, which for purposes of this Warrant
Agreement shall include the Nasdaq Stock Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Stock
Market, during the regular session of trading and not reported late has exceeded
$8.90625 for twenty consecutive trading days after the Issue Date, all Warrants
shall automatically, without any action on the part of any person, be deemed to
have been exercised by the Warrant

<PAGE>

Holder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the exercise of any Warrant would be
prohibited by applicable law at such time, then such Warrant shall automatically
be deemed to be exercised as soon thereafter as is not so prohibited. Upon such
automatic exercise, the shares of Preferred Stock held by the Warrant Holder
constituting the Exercise Price shall, in accordance with their terms,
automatically be converted into the right to receive the Shares pursuant to the
Warrants.

      5. EXERCISE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS. The purchase rights represented by this
Warrant Agreement are exercisable by the Warrant Holder, in whole or in part,
subject to the terms of Section 4 above, 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") and the Warrant
certificate, each having been duly indorsed to the Company, and the Exercise
Price in the form set forth in Section 2 above (including, if applicable, the
Preferred Stock certificate(s) duly endorsed to the Company). 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.

      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 and shall receive 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

                                       2

<PAGE>

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 and the exercise
price shall be appropriately increased (in the event of a decrease in the number
of shares) or decreased ( in the event of an increase of the number of shares).

            (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.

            (f) 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.

            (g) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS; NOTICES. Whenever the Exercise Price or
number of shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to this
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.

            (e) 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
