4.2 On a monthly basis, Galileo will prepare a reconciliation statement that will identify all charges incurred by Customer under this Agreement (“Total Charges”) and the total Segment Incentives earned (“Total Incentives”) for the prior month. If the Total Incentives exceeds the Total Charges, Galileo will pay the difference to Customer; if the Total Charges exceed the Total Incentives, Customer will pay the difference to Galileo. All payments due hereunder will be paid within 30 days of the reconciliation statement date.

4.3 If Total Segments in any Anniversary Period equals less than 240,000, then Customer shall pay to Galileo an amount equal to $0.50 (“Shortfall Fee”) multiplied by the difference between 240,000 and Total Segments; provided, however, (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer shall have no further obligation for any Shortfall Fees hereunder once Customer has made 1,200,000 Segments within the Territory during the term of this Agreement, commencing from the Contract Effective Date (the “Shortfall Segment Goal”). Solely in connection with the first Anniversary Period, Total Segments will be doubled (“Doubled Total Segments”) for purposes of determining whether any Shortfall Fees are due under this Section 4.3, and such Doubled Total Segments will be applied toward the Shortfall Segment Goal. For example, if Total Segments in the first Anniversary Period equals 200,000, then Doubled Total Segments equals 400,000. Since Doubled Total Segments are greater than 240,000, Customer shall not have any obligation for Shortfall Fees in the first Anniversary Period, and the 400,000 Doubled Total Segments shall be applied toward the Shortfall Segment Goal.
4.4 In the event that, as a result of cancellations, Customer’s total number of Segments during a month is negative, then Customer will pay to Galileo an amount equal to the Segment Incentive multiplied by such quantity of negative Segments, and the result thereof shall be added to the Total Charges. Galileo may elect to offset a portion or all of the financial incentives to be paid by Galileo to Customer hereunder by any amounts with respect to which monies are due by Customer under any agreement between Customer and Galileo or any of Galileo’s parents, subsidiaries or affiliates.
5. MATERIAL REVENUE CHANGE.
5.1 In the event of any change to the Participation Fee, which would result in an annualized average booking fee revenue decrease of 10% or more (“Fee Change”), the parties will use best efforts to negotiate appropriate modifications to the terms of this Agreement. Galileo will notify Customer of the Fee Change and the effective date of the Fee Change (“Fee Change Effective Date”), and the parties shall, within 90 days of the date of Galileo’s notice, execute an amendment to this Agreement evidencing the modifications. The parties acknowledge that the modifications shall become effective as of the Fee Change Effective Date, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon.
5.2 Galileo may suspend all financial incentive payments under this Agreement and Customer may suspend its payment of the charges hereunder from the Fee Change Effective Date until the effective date of the aforementioned amendment or expiration of the 90-day notice period, whichever first occurs. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within such 90-day period, then (i) commencing on the Fee Change Effective Date and continuing thereafter for the term of this Agreement, Galileo may reduce the financial incentives under this Agreement by the amount of the Fee Change; and (ii) either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience, whereby neither party will be further obligated hereunder, except that (x) Galileo will pay Customer any financial incentive payments that were suspended, subject to an adjustment equivalent to the Fee Change; and (y) Customer will pay all charges that accrued prior to the termination, including any Shortfall Fees for the then-current Anniversary Period, based on an annualized accounting of the Segments made by Customer during such partial Anniversary Period.
5.3 Notwithstanding the terms of the preceding paragraph, Galileo may, at any time prior to execution of an amendment as contemplated in Section 5.1 above, or termination of this Agreement as described In Section 5.2 above, withdraw its request to negotiate the terms of this Agreement, in which case all terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

If Customer elects to use an Update, such use shall constitute its agreement to abide by the terms and conditions pertaining to such use as established by Galileo. Customer acknowledges that there may be instances where Customer is required by Galileo to use an Update; provided however, in such event, Galileo agrees that there shall be no additional charge to Customer for its use of such Update. Customer acknowledges that during the term of this Agreement the functionality of selling cruises via LeisureShopper and Galileo e-Cruise may be moved entirely to the Galileo Cruise product.

Customer acknowledges that, in order to minimize unauthorized access to the System and the data contained therein, Galileo recommends that Customer establish a firewall, in which case Customer shall configure such firewall in accordance with documentation supplied by Galileo at Customer’s request. Customer further acknowledges that accessibility and response times may vary, depending upon the capacity and connectivity of its selected communications provider. Galileo shall license to Customer the appropriate Software for each Location, but shall have no responsibility whatsoever with respect to the User Access, including, but not limited to, the performance or reliability of the User Access.

The term of this Agreement for Services added to existing Locations will commence on the first day of the month in which the Services are installed and will expire concurrently with the term for the Location at which they are added.

2
this Agreement in connection with the CRS Services may, at the option of Galileo, be terminated, reduced or restricted.
6.3 If Galileo terminates the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2, or if Customer terminates the Agreement other than pursuant to Section 9.3, then Customer shall pay to Galileo liquidated damages as follows: (i) the remainder, if any, of the Shortfall Segment Goal minus total Segments made by Customer within the Territory during the term of the Agreement, with the result thereof multiplied by the Shortfall Fee; plus (ii) 80% of the product of the total amount of Variable Charges billed during the month preceding termination multiplied by the number of months remaining under the term of this Agreement; plus (iii) reimbursement of all amounts waived or discounted by Galileo prior to the termination; plus (iv) Galileo’s then-current Deinstallation Charge for removal of Services; plus (v) all past due amounts which have accrued under this Agreement.
