1.1 | “Market Share” means the number of Eligible Bookings during a calendar quarter / the number of all GDS bookings by Customer Offices during the same calendar quarter (per region/market as indicated). For the avoidance of doubt, bookings made outside of GDS channels (e.g., bookings through Provider B2C or B2B channels) are excluded from the measurement of Market Share. For the period between the Effective Date and 30 September 2016, the measurement of Market Share shall only account for bookings made between 16 August 2016 and 30 September 2016; thereafter, it shall be measured quarterly. |
1.2 | “Domestic” when used in relation to Bookings, means a Booking on a city pair where the departure city and arrival city are located within India. |
1.3 | “International” when used in relation to Bookings, means an Air Booking that is not a Domestic Booking. |
1.4 | Booking Incentives will be paid quarterly in advance (“Quarterly Advance”). The Quarterly Advance shall be equal to Booking Incentives earned by Customer during the previous quarter. Any difference between the Quarterly Advance and the Booking Incentives actually earned by Customer during the quarter shall be added to or subtracted from the next Quarterly Advance. The Quarterly Advance for the first quarter of the Term shall be XXXX. |
1.5 | In case Customer reasonably demonstrates, by way of verifiable evidence, that a malfunction of the Amadeus System is the sole and direct cause of Customer’s failure to achieve a XXXX during any quarter, then Amadeus shall pay XXXX during such quarter. The performance of Amadeus System will be reviewed by the Steering Committee in its monthly meeting. In the event, the Steering Committee is not able to reach consensus on the causes for Customer’s failure to achieve the Market Share, the matter shall be resolved amicably between the Customer’s CEO and Amadeus’ President of APAC. |
2. | Loyalty Bonus. As consideration for entering and complying with this Agreement, Amadeus shall pay Customer a one-time gross amount equal to the difference between the Booking Incentives paid to Customer for Eligible Bookings between 1 January 2016 and 15 August 2016 (the “7-Month Bookings”) under the Prior Agreement and the Booking Incentives set forth in Table 1.1 in the XXXX as they would apply to the 7-Month Bookings (such difference is the “Loyalty Bonus”).

3. | Incentive Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, all Incentives and Eligible Booking volume calculations may be adjusted by Amadeus (i) where a Provider makes, or has made before the Effective Date, its content available in the System in exchange for a direct or indirect reduction of Amadeus booking related distribution fees or at a charge, and/or (ii) with respect to Provider content that becomes part of a Provider and/or Amadeus content program, and/or (iii) with respect to Provider content for which the Provider restricts payment of incentives, (the “Affected Content”). In any such event, Amadeus will notify Customer in writing of the terms and conditions applicable to bookings of Affected Content. Such terms and conditions may include, but are not limited to, a reduction in Incentives or the imposition of applicable charges with respect to the Affected Content. The Parties will discuss in good faith any such terms and conditions upon the Customer’s request. Subject to the foregoing, the terms and conditions with respect to the Affected Content will apply upon the date stated in Amadeus’ notice, unless otherwise agreed between Amadeus and Customer. If Customer chooses not to accept such terms and conditions by notifying Amadeus in writing within 30 days of Amadeus’ notice, then: (i) Amadeus and/or the applicable Amadeus ACO may restrict access to the Affected Content, and/or (ii) no Incentives will apply on such Affected Content; or (iii) the Customer may book the Affected Content outside of the Amadeus System and the Market Share thresholds shall be decreased by the same amount that the Affected Content represents; or (iv) Parties may renegotiate and revise the rates set out in table 1.1 above. For clarification Bookings that are booked on low cost or budget Providers and/or via Amadeus Ticketless Access or Amadeus Light Ticketing will not qualify for Incentives unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. |
If Amadeus notifies Customer that it will apply the terms of this provision, Customer may request that an international auditing firm such as Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG or PWC (the “Auditor”) verifies Amadeus’ compliance with this provision. Customer shall bear the cost of such audit. The Auditor will issue a report which shall be limited to confirming whether Amadeus meets the requirements of this provision. Amadeus will pay the cost of such audit if the report indicates that the requirements of this provision were not met. The Auditor will be subject to a confidentiality agreement to ensure confidentiality of Amadeus and its Provider’s information.
Amadeus and Amadeus ACOs have programs and/or arrangements in place in certain markets as of the Effective Date with respect to certain Providers. Such programs and/or arrangements will apply to the affected Customer Offices. Other programs and/or arrangements may be identified on Exhibit 6. All such programs and/or arrangements are subject to change upon notice to the Customer.
