ANNEX A
AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND
RESTATED LODGING OUTSOURCING AGREEMENT
RESTATED LODGING OUTSOURCING AGREEMENT
This amendment letter (“Letter”) to the LOA Agreement is effective as of the Expiration Time of the Offer (the “Amendment Date”).
The Parties desire to amend the LOA Agreement on the terms of this Letter. In consideration of their continued performance of their respective obligations under the LOA Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree to amend the LOA Agreement on the terms set out below.
Reference is made to the letter dated 13 May 2021 whereby the parties agreed to add Viajes Beda, S.A. de C.V. and Transporturist, S.A. de C.V. (the “Best Day Group”) as Affiliates under the LOA Agreement.
“Hoteldo” is a B2B brand and distribution channel of the Best Day Group (“Hoteldo”). Hoteldo wishes to make Expedia Travel Products available to its Hoteldo partners.
From and after the Amendment Date, the Parties agree to amend the LOA Agreement as follows:
1.For the purposes of Section 2.1.9 of the LOA Agreement, Expedia acknowledges that Decolar, operating under the brand ‘Hoteldo’ (“Hoteldo”) operates an affiliate programme under which partners with whom it contracts (“Partners”) are permitted to integrate Hoteldo’s XML feed (“Hoteldo API”) onto their consumer facing websites (“Partner Sites”) or agent booking tools (“Partner Tools”) to access and book travel products on behalf of End Users or allow End Users to access and book travel products. Expedia agrees that Hoteldo may integrate Expedia Information and Expedia Travel Products into the Hoteldo API and make them available to its Partners subject to the following restrictions:
a.Decolar must ensure that each Partner is bound by and complies with obligations that are at least equivalent to those imposed on Decolar under the LOA Agreement and shall procure that the Partner enters into terms the same as or no less onerous than the terms of use for Partners (“Partner Terms of Use”) as set out in the launch requirements, as updated and notified to you from time to time;
b.Decolar shall be solely responsible for the actions and omissions of each Partner as if such actions are the actions and omissions of Decolar, including any liabilities for Taxes. In the event that Xxxxxxx becomes aware of any non-compliance by a Partner with the LOA Agreement or the Partner Terms of Use, or at any time upon Expedia’s request, Decolar will immediately disable the distribution of the Expedia Information and Expedia Travel Products to such Partner and/or cancel any and all Expedia-Sourced Travel Bookings booked via
the Hoteldo API, if Decolar or Partners breach Section 2.1.7 of the LOA Agreement;
c.Hoteldo agrees to integrate Expedia Information and Expedia Travel Products into the Hoteldo API via an exclusive profile dedicated to monitoring API shopping calls and booking travel products;
d.at Expedia’s request, Decolar shall promptly provide a list of current Partners;
e.Annex 1 hereto sets forth a list of restricted partners. Hoteldo may only make Expedia Information and Expedia Travel Products available to Partners who are not included in said list. In the event that any of Hoteldo’s existing Partners are restricted at any time, Hoteldo shall immediately disable the distribution of Expedia Information and Expedia Travel Products to such Partners;
f.In addition Decolar may only make Expedia Information and Expedia Travel Products available for display on:
i.Hoteldo’s Partner’s Site if such Partner Site is in a geography or adopts a type of business model which has been approved by us in advance. Such approval shall take place in a quarterly meeting between the parties where current and prospective Partners shall be discussed in good faith (including but not limited to geographical mix, business models and areas of growth) or on an ad hoc basis in writing;
ii.Hoteldo’s Partner’s Tool if the access to such Partner Tool is limited to employees and staff of the Partner (and so is not a third party booking tool used by external agents);
g.Decolar is solely responsible for any compensation payable to the Partner [***],
h.Decolar shall co-operate with Expedia to technically support the tracking and identification of Travel Bookings by Hoteldo, including but not limited to assisting with the setting up of an identification tag, and shall maintain said tag operational throughout the term;
i.Decolar shall procure that the terms and conditions of each Expedia Travel Product, as updated and notified to Decolar from time to time, are made available to each End User by Partners prior to concluding a Travel Booking;
j.Decolar will be responsible for any monies owed to us for Travel Bookings, including for Travel Bookings made by Partners;
k.Decolar may not cancel or amend any Travel Bookings made by Partners except on the express instruction of the End User
l.Decolar acknowledge that Expedia will not provide customer support to Partner agents and accordingly, Decolar shall ensure that Partner agents do not contact Expedia directly;
m.Partner shall have no right to re-distribute Expedia Information and Expedia Travel Products and so Decolar shall procure that Partners only make Expedia Information and Expedia Travel Products available on the Partner Site and/or Partner Tool itself and via no other medium or channel whatsoever including their own API or allowing the Partner Tool to be accessed by agents other than employees and staff of the Partner. Should Expedia identify that a Partner has breached this section, it shall inform Decolar and Decolar shall promptly suspend said Partner’s access to the Expedia Information and Expedia Travel Products;
n.Decolar shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that each Partner shall display and use Expedia Travel Products for the sole purpose of procuring a Travel Booking on the Partner Sites and/or Partner Tools and for no other purpose whatsoever; and
o.upon discontinuing access or termination of a Partner for any reason, Decolar shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that such Partner ceases to display on the Partner Sites and/or Partner Tools and promptly destroy or delete from all of the Partner’s systems and/or devices any and all originals, copies, reproductions, adaptations, extracts and/or summaries of Expedia Travel Products and Expedia Information.
2.The definition of “Notice” in the LOA Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:
““Notice” has the meaning set forth in Section 15.9.”
3.Section 15.9 in the LOA Agreement shall be amended and replaced with the following:

AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND
RESTATED LODGING OUTSOURCING AGREEMENT
RESTATED LODGING OUTSOURCING AGREEMENT
This amendment (“Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Lodging Outsourcing Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of November 15, 2019 by and among Expedia, Inc., a Washington corporation, Travel Reservations S.R.L, a Uruguay corporation (“Decolar”), Xxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Decolar Parent”) and each of the subsidiaries of Decolar Parent set forth therein, is effective as of the Expiration Time of the Offer (the “Amendment Date”) (the “Parties”).
The Parties desire to amend the Agreement on the terms of this Amendment. In consideration of their continued performance of their respective obligations under the Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement on the terms set out below.
All capitalized terms, where not defined in this Amendment, shall have the meanings set out in the Agreement. From and after the Amendment Date, the Parties agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
1.A new Section 2.4 shall be added as follows:
2.4 TravelAds
2.4.1 The parties agree that Decolar may participate in an accommodation advertising programme known as TravelAds sponsored listings (“TravelAds”). In order to participate, Decolar will make a call to the Expedia API known as a ‘sponsored list call’ and Expedia will return in accordance to the call made by Decolar a ranked order of Travel Supply Providers for Expedia Travel Products located in the Expedia Territory, or agencies acting on their behalf, which have successfully bid for a TravelAd via the auction model on the TravelAds platform. Decolar will display any such Travel Supply Providers (and corresponding Expedia Information) in the correct ranked order received in the Expedia API (save that, provided the ranked order is preserved, not all Travel Supplier Providers must be displayed meaning Decolar can display Travel Suppliers ordered first and third only, provided such order is preserved). Expedia will also provide advertising copy content for Decolar to use for such display, although such usage is in Decolar’s sole discretion.
2.4.2 Decolar agrees to use reasonable endeavours to integrate TravelAds in the Decolar Travel Solution for Expedia Covered Lodging Supply no later than within [***] (“Phase 1 Go Live Date”). Failing to do so, Expedia reserve the right to withdraw its interest to enable Travel Ads service to Decolar. Expedia agrees to use reasonable endeavours to provide all necessary documentation and specifications for Decolar to integrate TravelAds in the Decolar Travel Solution for Decolar Travel Products (“Phase 2”) no
later than the date which is [***] from the Phase 1 Go Live Date (“Documentation Delivery Date”).
2.4.3 For any Consumed Travel Booking for which a TravelAd applied, in addition to the Marketing Fee Payments under this Agreement, for [***] from the Phase 1 Go Live Date, Expedia shall pay Decolar an amount equal to [***]% of the cost per click (“CPC”) received from the Travel Supplier after Expedia has deducted [***]% of the CPC for Expedia’s cost of providing such advertising (“TravelAds Revenue”). The parties shall review the TravelAds Revenue in good faith and agree the amount which shall apply for the period after [***] from the Phase 1 Go Live Date. The TravelAds Revenue shall be paid [***] in arrears at the same time as the Marketing Fee Payments due under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the TravelAds Revenue shall not include revenue for any clicks for which Expedia or its Corporate Affiliates do not receive payment, for example, due to promotional and goodwill credits which are provided to a Travel Supply Provider in Expedia’s sole discretion. Expedia may (no earlier than [***] from the Phase 1 Go Live Date) adjust deduction set out in this paragraph to take into account additional costs or losses incurred by Expedia or its Corporate Affiliates in connection with TravelAds.
2.4.4 Decolar shall use appropriate mechanisms to detect and blacklist users engaged in click-fraud, in order to reduce the instances of click-fraud for which deductions would be needed. For the purpose of this clause, click fraud is bot activity, or other click fraud, including systematic activity, such as shopping bots or similar activity, and malicious activity.
2.4.5 In addition, the following terms shall apply:
(a) Expedia shall be the sole provider of accommodation advertising in the form of sponsored search listings on the Decolar Travel Solutions in the Expedia Territory; meaning Decolar may not utilise any third party to provide accommodation advertising in the form of sponsored search listings on the Decolar Travel Solutions in the Expedia Territory but may contract with accommodation providers directly for such advertising services.
(b) Decolar may only display TravelAds on their customer facing Decolar Travel Solutions operated by Decolar and shall not be provided to any Decolar Partner(s).
(c) Decolar will comply with all applicable law when participating in TravelAds and displaying any ranked Travel Suppliers and advertising content, including using any required tagging or badging of advertising.
(d) Decolar will return to Expedia in the Expedia API: the session ID for any display; the position of each TravelAd in Decolar’s organic search results; and any performance data required by Expedia in connection with each TravelAd for the purposes of ensuring accuracy and continuity of reporting to advertising and
publishing partners, including but not limited to any associated bookings. If Decolar fails to do so, it shall not accrue or be entitled to receive any TravelAds Revenue.
(e) Decolar will not use the content or Expedia Information it accesses via the Expedia API for any purposes other than to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(f) Expedia makes no representations or warranties with regard to TravelAds or the integration of TravelAds and Expedia expressly disclaims all implied warranties, obligations, and liabilities with respect thereto.
(g) Both parties reserve the right in their sole discretion to cease to make available or display TravelAds (as applicable), on [***] notice to the other party, for any or no reason, and without liability. Likewise, each party further reserves the right to cease to immediately make TravelAds available or to display TravelAds without liability to address: a) regulatory or legal requirements, b) in the case of force majeure; c) or in the case that external factors make the TravelAds Revenue not viable.

All capitalized terms, where not defined in this Amendment, shall have the meanings set out in the Agreement. From and after the Amendment Date, the Parties agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
1.Replacement of XXX.xxx LP with Expedia, Inc.
XXX.xxx LP shall be removed from the Agreement and the reference to XXX.xxx LP in Recital 3, section 2.1.2 and schedule 3.1.2 shall be replaced by Expedia, Inc. Accordingly, the definition of Expedia Parent and Expedia shall both mean Expedia, Inc.
2.Net remittance of Marketing Fees:
The following amendments shall be made to cater for net remittance of Marketing Fees (“Net Remittance Amendments”).

For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 2 shall only apply to Transaction Statements issued after the date such amendments are effective.
a. Section 3.2.1 (Marketing Fee Payments) shall be amended to read as follows:
