(B) the airlines listed or described below and the related businesses listed on Exhibit 1 hereto are particular competitors to Delta and your employment or consulting with any of the listed or described entities would create more harm to Delta than would your possible employment or consulting with other companies;

(D) the restrictions imposed by this Section 2(d) will not prevent you from earning a livelihood, given both the broad demand for the type of skills you possess as well as the large number of worldwide and domestic passenger and cargo air carriers and related businesses not included in Section 2(d)(ii) or Exhibit 1 hereto.

(Aeromexico), Air France KLM Group, Korean Air Lines Co., LTD or Virgin Atlantic Airways Limited; or

These restrictions will apply to the territory over which you have responsibility on the Grant Date (or had responsibility for at the time of your Termination of Employment), which territory you acknowledge to be co-extensive with the cities encompassed by Delta’s worldwide route structure as it exists as of the Grant Date, or the date of your Termination of Employment, as appropriate.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in Section 2 are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Delta and that any breach of any of these provisions will result in immediate and irreparable injury to Delta for which monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy.

APPENDIX A

The terms of this Appendix A shall apply to the Award set forth in this Agreement. Capitalized terms that are used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meaning set forth in the Plan. For purposes of Appendix A, you are referred to as a “Participant.”

A. [Cash] Performance Award

1. Payout Criteria and Form of Payment. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section A, payment, if any, of a Performance Award will be based on the Company’s performance during the period beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on and including December 31, 2025 (the “Performance Period”). The actual payout, if any, of a Performance Award will be determined by the Committee pursuant to the achievement of certain performance criteria established by the Committee to measure the Company’s performance during the Performance Period (the “Performance Measures”). A description of the Performance Measures and amounts to be earned, if any, for the various levels of performance, which shall not exceed 200% of the target level, will be communicated to Participants in such manner as the Committee deems appropriate. The payout, if any, of a Performance Award will be made in cash.

2. Vesting. Subject to the terms of the Plan and all other conditions included in this Agreement, the Performance Award shall vest as of the end of the Performance Period to the extent that the Company’s actual results with respect to the Performance Measures meet or exceed threshold level. Any portion of a Performance Award that does not vest at the end of the Performance Period will immediately lapse and become void.

3. Timing of Payment. The payout, if any, of a Performance Award that vests under Section A.2 will be made as soon as practicable after the Committee certifies the achievement of the Performance Measures and the payment amount can be finally determined, but in no event later than March 15, 2026, unless it is administratively impracticable to do so and such impracticability was not foreseeable at the end of 2025, in which case such payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after March 15, 2026.

4. Accelerated Vesting/Forfeiture upon Terminations of Employment [Occurring Prior to October 1, 2023]. Effective for Terminations of Employment [that occur prior to October 1, 2023], the Performance Award is subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Without Cause or For Good Reason. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (including the Termination of Employment of the Participant if they are employed by an Affiliate at the time the Company sells or otherwise divests itself of such Affiliate), subject to the Participant’s execution of a waiver and release of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company (a “Release”), the Participant’s target Performance Award will be recalculated and will be the result of the following formula (the “Adjusted Performance Award”): S × (T ÷ 36) where,

S = the Participant’s target Performance Award as of the Grant Date; and

T = the number of calendar months from January 1, 2023 to the date of such Termination of Employment (rounded up for any partial month).

Thereafter, the Participant will be eligible to receive a payout, if any, based on the Adjusted Performance Award which will vest and become payable under Sections A.2 and A.3 in the same manner and to the same extent as if the Participant’s employment had continued.

(b) Voluntary Resignation. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by reason of a voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason or Retirement) prior to the end of the workday on December 31, 2025, the Participant will immediately forfeit the Performance Award as of the date of such Termination of Employment. In the event a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment by reason of a voluntary resignation on or after January 1, 2026, subject to the Participant’s execution of a Release, the Participant will remain eligible for any unpaid Performance Award, which award will vest and become payable under Sections A.2 and A.3 in the same manner and to the same extent as if the Participant’s employment had continued.

(c) Retirement. Subject to Section A.4(f), upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment due to Retirement, subject to the Participant’s execution of a Release, the Participant’s target Performance Award will be recalculated in accordance with the formula set forth in Section A.4(a). Thereafter, the Participant will be eligible to receive a payment, if any, based on the Adjusted Performance Award, which will vest and become payable under Sections A.2 and A.3 in the same manner and to the same extent as if the Participant’s employment had continued.

(d) Death or Disability. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment due to death or Disability, the Participant’s Performance Award will immediately become vested at the target level and such amount will be paid as soon as practicable thereafter to the Participant or the Participant’s estate, as applicable.

(e) For Cause. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause, the Participant will immediately forfeit any unpaid portion of the Performance Award as of the date of such Termination of Employment.

(f) Retirement-Eligible Participants Who Incur a Termination of Employment for Other Reasons. If a Participant who is eligible for Retirement is or would be terminated by the Company without Cause, such Participant shall be considered to have been terminated by the Company without Cause for purposes of this Agreement rather than having retired, but only if the Participant acknowledges that, absent Retirement, the Participant would have been terminated by the Company without Cause. If, however, the employment of a Participant who is eligible for Retirement is terminated by the Company for Cause, then, regardless of whether the Participant is considered as a retiree for purposes of any other program, plan or policy of the Company, for purposes of this Agreement, the Participant’s employment shall be considered to have been terminated by the Company for Cause.

(g) Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 11 of this Agreement, upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (including the Termination of Employment of the Participant if they are employed by an Affiliate at the time the Company sells or otherwise divests itself of such Affiliate) on or after a Change in Control but prior to the second anniversary of such Change in Control, subject to the Participant’s execution of a Release, the Participant’s outstanding Performance Award shall immediately become vested at the target level and such amount will be paid to the Participant as soon as practicable. With respect to any Participant who incurs a Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or who resigns for Good Reason prior to a Change in Control, if a Change in Control occurs thereafter during the Performance Period, such Participant’s Adjusted Performance Award, will immediately become vested and be paid in cash to the Participant as soon as practicable.

2. Payout Criteria. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section B, payment, if any, of the PRSUs will be based on the Company’s performance during the Performance Period. The actual payout, if any, of the PRSUs will be determined by the Committee pursuant to the achievement of certain performance criteria established by the Committee to measure the Company’s performance during the Performance Period (the “PRSU Performance Measures”).

In the event a cash dividend shall be paid with respect to Shares at a time the PRSUs have not vested, the Participant shall be eligible to receive, upon the vesting of the PRSUs, if any, a cash payment equal to the amount of the cash dividend per Share multiplied by the number of the Participant’s vested PRSUs. The vesting provisions under Section B.3 shall apply to any such dividend equivalent, and any resulting cash payment shall be made as soon as practicable after the settlement of the vested PRSUs.

6. Accelerated Vesting/Forfeiture upon Terminations of Employment [Occurring Prior to October 1, 2023]. Effective for Terminations of Employment [that occur prior to October 1, 2023], the PRSUs are subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Without Cause or For Good Reason. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, subject to the Participant’s execution of a Release, the Participant’s Target PRSU Award will be prorated and will be the result of the following formula (the “Pro Rata PRSU Portion”): S × (T ÷ 36) where,

S = the number of PRSUs subject to the Target PRSU Award; and

T = the number of calendar months from January 1, 2023 to the date of such Termination of Employment (rounded up for any partial month).1

Thereafter, the Participant will be eligible to receive a payment, if any, based on the Pro Rata PRSU Portion which will vest and become payable under Sections B.3 and B.4 in the same

3. Timing of Payment. The payment of any portion of the Cash Award that vests under Section C.2 will be made as soon as practicable after the applicable vesting date, but in no event later than two and one-half months following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs, unless it is administratively impracticable to do so and such impracticability was not foreseeable at the end of the applicable calendar year, in which case such payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after such period.

4. Accelerated Vesting/Forfeiture Upon Terminations of Employment. In addition to the other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Cash Award is subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) In General. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by (i) reason of a voluntary resignation or Retirement or (ii) the Company for Cause, the Participant will immediately forfeit any unpaid portion of the Cash Award as of the date of such Termination of Employment.

(b) Without Cause or For Good Reason. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, subject to the Participant’s execution of a Release, the Participant’s [Second] Cash Award [Installment] will be recalculated and will be the result of the following formula (the “Adjusted Cash Award”): S × (T ÷ 13) where,

2. Lapse of Restrictions—Continued Employment. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Restrictions shall lapse and be of no further force or effect with respect to one-third of the Shares of Restricted Stock on each of the following dates: (a) February 1, 2024 (“First RS Installment”); (b) February 1, 2025 (“Second RS Installment”); and (c) February 1, 2026 (“Third RS Installment”).2

3. Lapse of Restrictions/Forfeiture upon Terminations of Employment. In addition to the other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Restricted Stock and the Restrictions set forth in this Section A are subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Without Cause or For Good Reason. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (including the Termination of Employment of the Participant if they are employed by an Affiliate at the time the Company sells or otherwise divests itself of such Affiliate), subject to the Participant’s execution of a waiver and release of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company (a “Release”), with respect to any portion of the Restricted Stock subject to the Restrictions, the Restrictions shall immediately lapse on the Pro Rata RS Portion as of the date of such Termination of Employment. Upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, any Restricted Stock that remains subject to the Restrictions, other than the Pro Rata RS Portion, shall be immediately forfeited.

“Pro Rata RS Portion” means, with respect to any RS Installment that is subject to the Restrictions at the time of a Participant’s Termination of Employment, the number of Shares covered by such RS Installment multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of calendar months3 from February 8, 2023 to the date of such Termination of Employment, rounded u

2 The number of Shares subject to each RS Installment will be equal to the total number of Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award divided by three; provided, that if this formula results in any fractional Share allocation to any RS Installment, the number of Shares in the First RS Installment and, if necessary, the Second RS Installment will be increased so that only full shares are covered by each RS Installment. For example, if a Restricted Stock Award covers 1,000 Shares, the Restrictions will lapse with respect to 334 Shares under the First RS Installment and 333 Shares under each of the Second and Third RS Installments.

3 For purposes of this Appendix A, one calendar month is calculated from the date of measurement to the same or closest numerical date occurring during the following month. For example, one calendar month from January 31, 2023 will elapse as of February 28, 2023, two months will elapse on March 31, 2023, and so on.

p for any partial month and (ii) the denominator of which is 12 for the First RS Installment, 24 for the Second RS Installment and 36 for the Third RS Installment.4

(b) Voluntary Resignation. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by reason of a voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason or Retirement), any portion of the Restricted Stock subject to the Restrictions shall be immediately forfeited.

Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, any Restricted Stock that remains subject to the Restrictions, other than the Pro Rata RS Portion, shall be immediately forfeited.

(d) Death or Disability. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment due to death or Disability, the Restrictions shall immediately lapse and be of no further force or effect as of the date of such Termination of Employment.
