* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

support other customers). In addition, in the event that Expedia obtains and provides TRX with software for use in connection with this Agreement, TRX hereby agrees to deploy such software and to make any changes necessary in equipment and hardware to utilize such software.

If GDS/CRS Providers acknowledge the errors were made by their system in connection with Tickets, but in documentation submitted to TRX (and provided to Expedia) states that GDS/CRS Providers will not reimburse TRX the full amount for such errors because of separate financial or business arrangements with Expedia, then TRX shall invoice Expedia for such amounts within sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar year in which the GDS/CRS Providers payments were due.

(c) Expedia shall pay TRX the fees as set forth in Exhibit C of the Agreement subject to adjustments, deductions or credits to such amounts as provided for in this Agreement or any Exhibit hereto (the “Fees”). * The invoice shall include a statement setting forth the total number of calls handled that calendar month by TRX in connection with the Services and the applicable Fees and any applicable Expedia Costs or Customer Charge-Backs for which Expedia is responsible in accordance with Section 2(a) of the Agreement. The statement shall include information sufficient to discern how the Fees were calculated and shall be in a format to be provided by Expedia. Except for disputed amounts and amounts withheld in good faith by Expedia, Expedia shall pay the

* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

excess, if any, of the amount indicated in the invoice minus the Forecasted Fee within * after receipt of the invoice. In the event the Forecasted Fee is greater than the amount indicated in the invoice, then TRX shall pay Expedia the excess of the Forecasted Fee minus the amount indicated in the invoice within * days after receipt of the invoice by Expedia. Late payments by either party shall accrue interest at a rate of one percent (1%) per month unless Expedia notifies TRX that Expedia disagrees with the calculation of the invoiced amount. In the event taxes are required by any U.S. (state or federal) or foreign government to be withheld on payments made hereunder by Expedia to TRX, Expedia may deduct such taxes from the amount owed TRX and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority. Expedia shall in turn promptly secure and deliver to TRX an official receipt for any taxes withheld that are owed by TRX. Expedia will use reasonable efforts to minimize such taxes to the extent permissible under applicable law.

(a) This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date, and shall continue in force until December 31,2010, unless earlier terminated by either party as provided in this Agreement or Exhibits hereto. This Agreement automatically shall be renewed for a further period of two (2) years, unless either party has notified the other party in writing at least one hundred and eighty days (180) days prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date of its intent not to renew, such renewal to be subject to earlier termination as provided in this Agreement or Exhibits hereto. Any renewal pursuant to this Section shall be on the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Agreement.

(b) Expedia may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement without cause with one hundred and eighty (180) days’ prior written notice to TRX. In the event of such termination solely for the convenience of Expedia (and in no other event of termination), Expedia agrees to pay TRX the amount indicated below.

Exhibit D - Expedia Policies

Introduction

The following code of conduct is not a contract. It is intended solely to provide general guidance to vendors and their representatives to assist them in functioning smoothly and efficiently while performing work for Expedia.

Expedia is committed to promoting a positive work environment. We expect our vendors and their employees, agents, and subcontractors (collectively, “representatives”) to adhere to the same standards of conduct and behavior that we expect from our own employees while you and your representatives are on Expedia property or doing business with Expedia.

The information outlined below is important and should be read carefully. All third party vendors will be required to educate and, when appropriate, train their representatives to ensure they are aware of Expedia’s expectations regarding their behavior and the consequences of any breaches of Expedia policies.

The policies summarized below are non-exhaustive, and there may be other conduct not specifically listed that would be unacceptable. Expedia expects that vendors and their representatives will conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times while on Expedia property or while doing business with Expedia. Expedia may require the immediate removal of any vendor representative who behaves in a manner that is unlawful or inconsistent with any Expedia policy, or that is otherwise deemed harmful to Expedia’s business.

E-mail

Electronic mail, or e-mail, provides an easy-to-use, efficient means of communicating. The following guidelines for preparing and sending e-mail are designed to ensure that each vendor and its representatives use the e-mail system in an appropriate manner.

E-mail may not be used as a forum for political, religious, or other debates, or as a form of entertainment (for example, chain letters). Use of e-mail must be limited to Expedia business. All e-mail group aliases (a pre-defined group of users) must be for Expedia business.

Expedia e-mail names are confidential. Do not give e-mail names to anyone outside of Expedia. Do not share your password with anyone, attempt to gain access to anyone else’s e-mail account, or use another’s email account without permission.

Expedia prohibits obscene, profane, or otherwise offensive material from being broadcast across the Expedia network.

Non-solicitation Policy

Expedia wants to provide a work environment that allows all employees, and all vendors and their representatives to complete their tasks with the least amount of disruption. Accordingly, vendors, their representatives, and any other non-Expedia employees are not allowed (while on Expedia property or while using Expedia owned equipment) to engage in solicitation or distribution of literature. This policy prohibits soliciting or handing out materials for any purpose.

TRX Access to Information and Property

E-mail and its contents, as well as any other data stored on or transmitted by Expedia-owned equipment, is the property of Expedia and may be accessed by Expedia at any time. Accordingly, the content of e-mail, voice mail, and similar data should not be regarded as protected by any personal right of privacy.

Additionally, in order to evaluate and improve customer service, Expedia may monitor, as necessary, the telephone calls of vendors and their representatives who work in customer service positions.

Any facilities or equipment, including but not limited to offices, desks, computers, electronic media, motor vehicles, or lockers used by vendors and their representatives while on Expedia property or while conducting Expedia related business, may be accessed by Expedia as needed. Accordingly, you should not consider protected by any personal right of privacy anything brought onto or stored on Expedia property stored on Expedia equipment, or used while working on Expedia related business. Any Expedia property used by vendors and their representatives while performing Expedia related business remains the property of Expedia.

Gifts

Expedia employees cannot accept payments of any amount or gifts or favors valued in excess of $100 from persons or firms with which we have business dealings, unless prior approval is obtained from a vice president or more senior company official. Accordingly, you and your representatives should refrain from giving to Expedia employees gifts with a value of more than $100.

Proper Use of Software

The unauthorized duplication and use of software and/or documentation by Expedia vendors or contractors is a violation of the copyright laws of the United States and all the other countries in which Expedia, Inc. and its subsidiaries maintain offices. This applies equally to Expedia software, whether a Beta or a final version, and to non-Expedia software. Violation of copyright laws can subject vendors and Expedia to liability for significant civil and criminal penalties. In order for this effort to be effective and benefit the software industry, Expedia must lead by example.

The following practices, unless granted by a specific license, are among those prohibited by this policy:

Making additional copies of third-party software products for your use on other computers.

Making copies of software (third-party or Expedia) for friends or associates.

Distributing software over a network.

Providing copies of software to bulletin board services

Helpdesk maintains a list of software products that have been licensed to Expedia for network use or on a site-license basis. Each department that acquires third-party software is responsible for retaining proof of proper licensing of that software, such as end user license agreements, original disks and manuals, and receipts. If you have questions regarding the terms of any third-party license agreement, contact Expedia Legal and Corporate Affairs.

Failure to follow this policy can result in action against the vendor and its representative, including termination of the vendor representative’s services and/or termination of Expedia’s contract with the vendor.

Confidentiality

All information supplied by Expedia to vendors and their representatives should be regarded as confidential unless otherwise notified. Vendors and their representatives are not authorized to speak to the press on Expedia’s behalf, unless expressly authorized to do so by Expedia’s Public Relations group. Prior to performing any work for Expedia, all vendors will be required to sign a contract that includes a nondisclosure agreement.

Vendor Standards

Expedia expects its chosen vendors to operate in the best interest of the company at all times. It is expected that all equipment, manpower & services will be provided at the highest quality level while maintaining flexibility and cost effectiveness.

It is the responsibility of the vendor to inform its Expedia contact (or a member of Expedia management) when situations develop that require the vendor to operate in direct violation of the guidelines set forth in this document.

Additionally, in the event a Expedia employee has a relationship (spouse or other family relation, friend, domestic partner, etc.) with a vendor that might create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest, Expedia senior management approval is required prior to contracting for the services of said vendor.
