Supplier shall not use information returned to EI’s system to attempt to or to persuade or induce a customer utilizing the Booking Channels to make a reservation outside of the Booking Channels or to cancel a reservation made through the Booking Channels for re-booking through any other means.  Supplier shall not make, and shall not allow any entity that Supplier distributes its car rentals through to make, promotional or merchandising reference to EI or any of its Affiliates’ trademark in any way except with the express written permission of the EI for each such use, including making a reference in any promotion or advertisement that does not directly refer to EI or its Affiliates, but could be understood by a reasonable person as referring to EI or its Affiliates.

 

6. CRS Booking Fee.  For reservations through the Booking Channels that also pass through a CRS, the amounts due to EI under this Agreement shall not include any booking fee that would be due to the CRS separately pursuant to the applicable agreement between Supplier and such CRS.  Supplier shall be required to make the CRS booking fee payment directly to the applicable CRS for such transactions.

 

7. Trademarks.  Supplier hereby grants to EI and its Affiliates a limited, nontransferable, nonexclusive license to use the trademarks, service marks, logos, trade names and copyrights of Supplier and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Marks”) solely for the purpose of

	  	  	
promoting Supplier.  Supplier hereby represents and warrants that it has the full and exclusive right to grant or otherwise permit EI and its Affiliates to use the Marks as set forth in this Agreement, and that it is aware of no conflicting third party rights.  Except as set forth in this Agreement, the right to license and use the Marks shall remain exclusively with Supplier, and neither EI nor its Affiliates shall have any right to grant sublicenses.  EI and its Affiliates shall use the Marks exactly in the form provided and in conformance with any Supplier trademark and logo usage guidelines that Supplier may provide to EI or its Affiliates in writing from time to time.  Other than the rights specifically granted herein, no right, title or interest in the Supplier’s or its Affiliates’ Marks is transferred to EI or its Affiliates.  Neither EI nor its Affiliates shall take any action inconsistent with Supplier’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of their Marks, and any benefits accruing from use of such Marks shall automatically vest in Supplier or its Affiliates, as applicable.  Neither EI nor its Affiliates shall form any combination marks with Marks.  Any violation of this Section 7 of these General Terms and Conditions would not be a material breach.  Provided, however; that Supplier may terminate the foregoing trademark license if EI breaches this Section 7 and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days’ written notice of such breach by Supplier delivered to EI.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in its keyword purchasing activities, Expedia agrees not to outrank an advertising or sponsorship position triggered in Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask, AOL and Looksmart with respect to the following Supplier trademarks: “Thrifty”, “Thrifty Car Rental”, “Be Smart, Buy Thrifty”, “Drivewise”, “Thrifty.com”, “The Sensible Alternative”, “Blue Chip”, “True Blue Pride”, “Best of All, It’s Thrifty”, “Thrifty Rental Car”, Thrifty Rental Cars”, “Thrifty Car Rentals”, “Blue Chip Rewards”, “SmartBiz”, “Dollar”, “Dollar Rent A Car”, “Dollar Makes Sense”, “Dollar.com”, “Dollar Travel”, “Dollar Tours”, “Dollar Car Rental”, “Dollar Car Rentals”, “Dollar Rental Car”, “Dollar Rental Cars” “Home of Our Lowest Rates”, “Fastlane”, “Dollar Express Rewards”, “Dollar Express”, “Dollar 4Business” and “Right on the Airport. Right On.”.  Supplier agrees not to outrank an advertising or sponsorship position triggered in Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask, AOL and Looksmart with respect to the following Expedia trademarks: [“EXPEDIA”, “EXPEDIA.COM”, EXPEDIA TRAVELS”, “EXPEDIA TO GO”, “TRIPCONTROLLER”, “TRAVELLER OPINIONS”, “NEWTRADE”, “WWTE”, “WHERE TO FIND THE ONE OF A KIND”, “DON’T JUST TRAVEL. TRAVEL RIGHT”, OR “TRAVELSCAPE”].  Supplier represents to Expedia that Supplier shall not place restrictions on Expedia’s keyword bidding activities that are more restrictive than those that Supplier places on any other Third Party Booking Channels.

 

8. Reporting of Bookings.  Through NPC or other mutually agreed upon method, Supplier shall deliver to EI electronic reports detailing the booking information for each car reservation in a record layout format that contains the information specified in Exhibit G or such other format as is reasonably satisfactory to EI.

Such audit may be conducted by EI’s accounting department after not less than 72 hours prior written notice to Supplier, and shall be conducted during regular business hours at Supplier’s offices and in such a manner as not to interfere with Supplier’s normal business activities.  If an audit reveals an underpayment of five percent (5%) or more, then Supplier shall promptly pay the amount of the underpayment to EI and reimburse EI for its reasonable costs and expenses related to the audit. If an audit reveals an overpayment of five percent (5%) or more, then EI shall promptly pay the amount of the overpayment to Supplier.

 

10. System Connection, Ownership and Management.  The connection between Supplier’s internal reservation system and reservation services to EI shall initially be made through the Worldspan Computer Reservation System (“CRS”).  Such connection may in the future be made through other means in addition to or in lieu of the Worldspan CRS including, but not limited to, connection through one or more other CRSs.  Each party shall be responsible for all costs and expenses related to maintaining its computers, networks, communications, and connections, including without limitation those between Worldspan, EI’s systems, and Supplier’s internal reservation system.  Each party acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement constitutes an assignment or transfer of any right in the systems, software, networks or intellectual property of the other party.

12.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR WITH THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE EI’S BOOKING CHANNELS, OR FOR ANY INFORMATION, PRODUCT OR SERVICE OBTAINED THROUGH EI, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF EI’S BOOKING CHANNELS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES. IF EI IS, IN ANY EVENT, FOUND LIABLE TO SUPPLIER FOR ANY DAMAGES, THEN SUPPLIER’S REMEDY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF ANY FEES OR CHARGES PAID BY SUPPLIER TO EI FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS RELATING TO THE MATTER FOR WHICH THE LIABILITY HAS BEEN DETERMINED.

Except as expressly provided herein, this agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and no other party shall claim rights hereunder, whether as a third party beneficiary or otherwise.

 

15. No Waiver.  No term hereof shall be deemed waived and no breach excused unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party claimed to have waived or consented.

19. Confidentiality.  This Agreement and the information exchanged by the parties hereunder, including the terms and conditions hereof, shall be considered Confidential Information and is subject to the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement between the parties dated March 20, 2002.

 

20.  Public Statements; No Disparagement.  The parties agree that, upon execution of this Agreement, Supplier shall draft a press release and the parties shall work together in good faith to finalize and issue the press release announcing the execution of this Agreement that is mutually agreeable to each party.  Neither Supplier nor EI shall make disparaging comments about the other party, its products or services.  Neither party shall make any statement, reference or comment about the other party that could influence a potential customer not to use or buy a product or service offered by such other party, including any statements, references or comments that do not directly refer to such other party but could be understood by a reasonable person as referring to such other party.

 

21. Indemnity.  Supplier agrees to defend, indemnify and hold EI and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, partners, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all third party claims, demands, liabilities, actions, judgments, and expenses, arising out of or related to (i) any claim that EI’s or its Affiliates’ use of the Trademarks as permitted under Section 7 of these General Terms and Conditions infringes or misappropriates any patent, copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade secret or other intellectual property or other, proprietary or property right of any third party, (ii) the furnishing of any services (transportation or otherwise) or data by Supplier, (iii) a breach by Supplier of any applicable law or regulation; or (iv) a breach by Supplier of this Agreement (the “Supplier Claims”).  Supplier will pay any and all costs, damages and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs awarded against or otherwise incurred by EI or its Affiliates in connection with or arising from any such Supplier Claims.  EI agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Supplier and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, partners, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all third party claims, demands, liabilities, actions, judgments, and expenses, arising out of or related to (i) the booking of car rental reservations through the Booking Channels, (ii) a breach by EI of any applicable law or regulation; or (iii) a breach by EI of this Agreement.  The indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of a claim for which the indemnified party is seeking indemnification (“Indemnification Claim”); the failure to give prompt notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations except to the extent that the indemnifying party is damaged as a result.  At all times, the indemnifying party shall have sole control over the defense and settlement of an Indemnification Claim.  Any indemnified party has the right, but not the duty, to participate in the defense and/or settlement of any Indemnification Claim with counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, provided that the indemnified party and its counsel cooperate with and follow the direction of the indemnifying party in the defense of such Indemnification Claim.

 

22. Insurance.  Supplier represents and warrants that it has liability insurance coverage in an amount that is consistent with industry practice.  To the extent permitted by the law of Supplier’s jurisdiction, Supplier shall either (a) name EI and its Affiliates as an additional insured on any liability insurance policies on which it pays premiums,

	 	 	
and deliver to EI certificates of insurance that verify compliance with the preceding clause or (b) provide other evidence of insurance acceptable to EI that indicates that EI and its Affiliates will be covered by Supplier's insurance in the event of a claim relating to this Agreement.  Supplier shall cause EI to receive thirty (30) days prior written notice before such insurance is cancelled or expires.  No later than ten (10) days prior to the date of expiration of an existing insurance policy, Supplier shall deliver new certificates (or other evidence) of insurance to EI for any renewal policies.  EI may terminate this Agreement if Supplier fails to comply with this provision.

 

23. Taxes and Fees.  Supplier shall pay to the appropriate tax authorities the full amount of Taxes and Fees applicable to all rental car reservations.  The term “Taxes” shall mean any and all taxes imposed by a federal, state or local government or authority upon the rental of a vehicle, including, without limitation, airport taxes, tourism development taxes, whether the tax obligation falls upon the individual Customer or upon the operator of the Supplier Location or otherwise, and any similar tax or non-tax charge, fee, pass-through or surcharge imposed on the basis of the rental, possession, or use of a rental car or Supplier Location.  The term “Fees” shall mean any fees, charged by Supplier or Supplier Location in addition to the base rental rate, including, without limitation, airport franchise or concession recoupment fees, consolidated facility charges or any other charges.

 

24. Tax Indemnity.  Supplier shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless EI and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates  from and against all assessments or payments for tax, interest and penalties for Taxes and Fees applicable to any rental car reservations as a result of (1) any Taxes and Fees calculated by Supplier being incorrect or (2) Supplier failing to pay, in whole or in part, any Taxes and Fees.  EI shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Supplier and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against all assessments or payments for tax, interest and penalties for the difference between the actual booking price paid by a customer for a Merchant Booking less the net rate as set by Supplier.  Each party further agrees, as part of this indemnification, to reimburse the other party and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including attorney’s fees and expenses, an Indemnitee may have incurred in connection with any such assessment or payment.

 

 

25. Force Majeure. If the performance of this Agreement or any obligation hereunder is prevented, restricted or interfered with by any act or condition whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, the party so affected, upon giving prompt notice to the other party, shall be excused from such performance, except for the making of payments hereunder, to the extent of such prevention, restriction, or interference, for so long as the non-performing party uses reasonable efforts to resume performance.  In the event of a non-performance pursuant to this Section 25 for more than sixty (60) days, the other party may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days written notice to the other party.

FIRST AMENDMENT

TO

VEHICLE RENTAL SUPPLY AGREEMENT

This FIRST AMENDMENT (the “First Amendment”) to Vehicle Rental Supply Agreement dated March 5, 2008 (the “Original Agreement”), by and between Expedia, Inc., a Washington corporation, individually and as agent for Travelscape, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company dba Expedia Travel (together, Expedia, Inc. and Travelscape, LLC shall be known as “EI”) and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries and licensees (collectively, “Supplier”), is entered into as of February 1, 2009 (“Amendment Effective Date”).  Together, this First Amendment and the Original Agreement shall be known as the “Agreement”.  Capitalized terms not defined in this First Amendment are defined in the Original Agreement.  The parties hereby agree as follows:

	
1.

	
As of February 1, 2009, Section 1.3.2., Canada Standalone Merchant Override is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

	 

 

	
1.3.2.  

	
Canada Standalone Merchant Override.  Supplier shall pay EI the following override fees (“Standalone Merchant Override Fees”)

 

 

[***]

 

All Standalone Merchant amounts shall be calculated using EI’s internal reports based on drop off date of rentals and revenue (i.e. consummated rentals and revenue calculated as of the date vehicles are returned by the customer).  Supplier shall pay Standalone Merchant Override Fees on a quarterly basis, commencing on the Preferred Launch Date.  Quarterly Agency Override Fee payments shall be calculated by dividing the Annual Standalone Merchant Revenue Targets into four equal parts.  At the end of each four-quarter period, commencing on the Preferred Launch Date, EI’s performance shall be evaluated with respect to the Annual Standalone Merchant Revenue Targets and any shortfall or overpayment shall be reconciled not later than fifteen (15) days from receipt of invoice for such reconciliation.  If EI achieves or surpasses the applicable performance threshold set forth above in any given performance period (e.g. quarterly or annually, as applicable), then the highest applicable Standalone Merchant Override Amount will apply to all bookings within that performance period.

 

 

	
2.  

	
2008 Overrides.  The parties acknowledge and agree that override payments due to EI pursuant to Section 2.7 of that Vehicle Rental Supply Agreement by and between EI and Supplier dated May 1, 2006 (the “2006 Agreement”), as amended have not been made, and that such payments shall be made in a single lump-sum payment to be made by Supplier not later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of this First Amendment.  For purposes of calculating such overrides, the applicable annual override thresholds shall be prorated in order to account for the five-month period (i.e., March 2008 – July 2008) during which Dollar and Thrifty merchant products were made available through EI’s Canada booking channels pursuant to Section 2.7 of the 2006 Agreement.

 

	
3.  

	
[***]

 

	
4.  

	
Except as expressly amended by this First Amendment, the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  All signed copies of this First Amendment shall be deemed originals.
