EXHIBIT C
DISTRIBUTOR CONTRACT MINIMUM TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In accordance with
Section 5 of this Agreement, Client is required to execute an agreement with its Customers governing the Customer’s access to and use of the RESX Services. The minimum terms and conditions stated below or terms conceptually the same
as the terms stated below are required for use by Client in such agreements with its Customers. While Client is not obligated to utilize the suggested language below, Client may not include any terms that are materially inconsistent with this
Exhibit C, that are materially less protective of TRX’s rights, or that otherwise render TRX’s performance under this Agreement impossible.
1. GRANT OF RIGHTS.
a. Right to Use. Upon Customer’s and Distributor’s execution of this agreement, Distributor grants to Customer a
nonexclusive, revocable, nontransferable, and nonassignable limited right to use the application services and associated documentation, (“Application Services”), in the conduct of its own business. This agreement is personal to Customer.
b. Reservation of Rights. All rights not specifically granted Customer under this agreement are expressly reserved
to Distributor and/or its provider of Application Services (“Provider”). Such Provider shall be, at all times, intended third party beneficiaries to this Agreement. Upon prior written notice to Customer by Distributor, Provider reserves
the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, discontinue, add, adapt, or otherwise change any design or specification of the Application Services and/or policies, procedures, and requirements specified in or related hereto. Customer acknowledges
that Distributor shall provide Customer’s data to its Provider for the purposes of providing the Application Services.
c. Restrictions. Customer acknowledges and warrants that it shall not itself, and shall not allow any other party to, in any
manner or form: (a) use Application Services except as expressly provided for in this Agreement; (b) copy, modify, reproduce, translate, adapt, enhance, disclose, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, create derivative works of,
divulge, publish, sell, rent, lease, assign, use in a service bureau or time sharing environment, pledge or transfer Application Services, or any modification or derivative work thereof, except as expressly provided for under applicable law;
(c) export or re-export Application Services without Distributor’s express prior written consent and full compliance with all applicable US export laws and regulations; (d) demonstrate, operate, or show Application Services to or for
any third party; or (e) assign the rights to use Application Services to another party, by operation of law or otherwise. Any attempt to do so shall be void, and this Agreement shall automatically terminate without notice concurrently
therewith.
2. PROPRIETARY RIGHT PROTECTION. Distributor will be disclosing to Customer certain confidential and trade secret
information in tangible or intangible form, including but not limited to the Application Services, documentation, all adaptations and modifications, all derivative works, and all related information and materials, and all copies (“Proprietary
Information”) of Distributor or its Providers. The Proprietary Information has tangible value, is the intellectual property of Distributor or its Providers, and is protected by law, including without limitation United States copyright laws and
international treaties. The Proprietary Information is, and remains, Distributor’s or its Providers’ sole and exclusive property. Distributor or its Provider would be irreparably damaged if the Proprietary Information were disclosed
without its prior authorization. Therefore, Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Customer will maintain the Proprietary Information in the strictest confidence and will use the Proprietary Information only for the performance of
Customer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (b) other than as expressly provided in this Agreement, it shall have no right to copy or reproduce the Proprietary Information, in whole or in part, electronically or otherwise,
without the owner’s express prior written permission, and will return any Proprietary Information (and any copies) upon termination of this Agreement. Any breach of this Section 2 by Customer will result in immediate and irreparable
injury to Distributor or Provider, who shall be entitled to take whatever action may be necessary, at law or in equity, to preserve the trade secret, confidential, and proprietary nature of the Proprietary Information.
3. NO OBLIGATION TO CORRECT ERRORS. Distributor and its Provider shall use reasonable efforts
to verify the cause of any errors in the Application Services reported by Customer, Distributor and Provider’s sole obligation shall be to use reasonable efforts to correct the reported error.
4. WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS. APPLICATION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”
WITHOUT, AND DISTRIBUTOR MAKES NO, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL, WARRANTIES AND
REPRESENTATIONS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OR EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, WITH
RESPECT TO THE USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE APPLICATION SERVICES
OR ANY OTHER PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, THEIR QUALITY OR
RELIABILITY, OR THEIR MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS,
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
5.
LIABILITY; REMEDY LIMITATIONS. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OF DISTRIBUTOR’S PROVIDERS, OR
ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, OR OTHER
RELATED PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR
NATURE OR IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF
ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, PROCUREMENT COSTS OF
SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS, OR LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS, OR GOODWILL, REGARDING THIS AGREEMENT
OR RESULTING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH DISTRIBUTOR’S PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER
OR THE USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE APPLICATION SERVICES OR OTHER
PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, EVEN IF DISTRIBUTOR OR ANY OF ITS PROVIDERS HAS
BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF. CUSTOMER AGREES TO LOOK SOLELY
TO DISTRIBUTOR FOR ITS REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT THE
LIABILITY LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF
ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH DISTRIBUTOR AND CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT
DESPITE ANY FAILURE OF AN EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.
6. TERMINATION.
a. Distributor/Customer Contract.
Distributor may terminate this Agreement and all rights to use Application Services and possess any related information or material immediately upon Customer’s failure to comply with any material provision of this Agreement. Upon termination of
this Agreement, Customer agrees to return to Distributor all materials in any form related to the Proprietary Information, specifically including documentation and all copies thereof; and acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under any
provisions which by their content and context are intended to survive termination, including without limitation provisions regarding the protection and security of the Proprietary Information, shall so survive.
b. Distributor/Provider Contract. In the event of termination of the contract between Distributor and Provider that authorizes
Distributor to provide the Application Services, Customer agrees that Provider shall continue to process Customer’s transactions for a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days), or until such time as Customer (1) enters into an
agreement with another RESX distributor; (2) contracts directly with the Provider for the provision of Application Services; or (3) provides notice to Provider of its desire to no longer utilize the Application Services.
EXHIBIT D

which case TRX may exercise its rights under Section 2(a) of these Terms), fails to (A) commence good faith actions to remedy such breach within five (5) days after receiving written notice thereof, and (B) diligently
pursue such actions to conclusion. Either party may terminate this Agreement at the end of the initial term or any renewal term by providing the other party with no less than one hundred-eighty (180) days prior written notice. Termination of

the foregoing, BCD shall continue to have the right use the RESX Services until the Termination Assistance is completed. The terms of this Agreement as they relate to Termination Assistance shall remain in effect until TRX has completed its
Termination Assistance. TRX will provide the Termination Assistance described below for a period of no less than * and no more than * per BCD’s written request, except as otherwise agreed by the parties in the Transition Plan.
TRX’s obligation to provide Termination Assistance will be conditioned upon BCD paying to TRX all outstanding invoices, * prior to the commencement of the Termination Assistance and will be conditioned upon BCD continuing to pay when due
any and all fees due hereunder during the Termination Assistance period. In the case of any pre-payment of fees by BCD, the appropriate pro-rata amount shall be refunded by TRX to BCD. Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply to all services provided by TRX during such period. If BCD requests Termination Assistance beyond the available capacity of the TRX on-site staff, such request will be treated as a request for
additional services and
subsequent to BCD’s pre-approval, BCD will pay the agreed upon charge for such additional services. The provisions of this Section will survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement for any reason.
BCD and TRX will jointly develop a plan (the “Transition Plan”) to effect the orderly transition and
migration to BCD or a designated third party from TRX of all Services then being performed or managed by TRX under this Agreement (the “Termination Transition”). The Transition Plan will set forth the tasks to be performed by BCD and TRX,
the time for completing such tasks and the criteria for declaring the transition “completed”. The parties and their employees and agents will cooperate in good faith to execute the plan and each party agrees to perform those tasks assigned
to it in the Transition Plan. TRX will direct the execution of the Transition Plan, unless BCD initiated termination of the Agreement for any reason, in which case BCD will direct the execution of the Transition Plan. The Transition Plan will
include the following tasks to be performed by TRX and such other tasks as may be agreed upon by BCD and TRX:

result of a process change by TRX, and if the fee increase is greater than * of the then current RESX transaction fee, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a new fee structure.
d. Taxes. The service fees do not include any charge for taxes and Client is solely responsible for paying any and all national,
