	3.	SLAs 

  
 The Services shall be provided in accordance with the specifications and SLAs set forth in Exhibit “B”. The performance criteria outlined in this Agreement will be the basis for measuring Siemens
quality and performance required hereunder. 
  

	4.	TRX Responsibilities 

  

	 	4.1	 Representative. TRX and Siemens shall each assign and identify in writing to the other party an Authorized Representative. The Authorized Representative will
be the primary contact and single point of authorization for each party. TRX Authorized Representative shall direct TRX requirements, project reviews and determine the acceptability of the Services and/or Deliverables that Siemens

matters. Either TRX or Siemens may change their Authorized Representative and will notify the other party of such change. 

  

	 	4.2	TRX Content. TRX shall provide all TRX Content necessary to facilitate Siemens’ performance of the Services so that Siemens can timely incorporate such content into the
Services as appropriate. TRX will respond promptly and accurately to all reasonable requests for TRX Content made by Siemens and will provide relevant updates, if and when any of these become available, for TRX Content previously provided.

  

	 	4.3	License to TRX Content. During the term of this Agreement, and subject to all the limitations and conditions of this Agreement, TRX shall grant to Siemens a royalty-free,
non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, display and transmit TRX Content in electronic or paper format, solely for the purposes of providing the Services and subject to all conditions and limitations imposed upon such
license or use by any law, regulation or other rules of any governmental, regulatory, judicial or other authority. Siemens may, with TRX’s express written consent, amend TRX Content provided that any resulting content shall be considered TRX
Content and owned by TRX. Siemens shall reproduce and shall not alter, destroy or remove any copyright, trade secret, patent, trademark or other proprietary or legal markings or notices placed upon or contained within TRX Content or any supporting
media. Upon any termination of this Agreement, all licenses granted to Siemens hereunder shall immediately terminate and Siemens shall return all documents and materials, in any form, containing any TRX Content, or at the request of TRX, destroy and
certify destruction of same as reasonably required by TRX. The foregoing license of TRX Content is subject to the following restrictions: 

  

	 	(a)	Siemens will not allow TRX Content, or any of the various components or modifications thereof, to be disclosed to third parties, sold, assigned, leased or commercially exploited or
marketed in any way, with or without charge, except as necessary to facilitate Siemens’ performance of the Services, and as expressly consented to in writing by TRX. Except to the extent required for normal operation of TRX Content, Siemens
will not permit TRX Content to be copied or reproduced, in whole or in part. 

  

	 	(b)	TRX Content is valuable property of TRX and any violation in any material respect of any provision of the license agreement for the use of TRX Content would cause TRX irreparable
injury for which it would have no adequate remedy at law, and TRX will be entitled to seek preliminary and other injunctive relief against any such violation. Such injunctive relief will be in addition to, and in no way in limitation of, any and all
other remedies or rights that TRX will have at law or in equity.

	5.	Ongoing Operational Services 

  

	 	5.1	Ongoing Operational and Technical Support. The hours of operation for the Service Centers (SCs) will be set forth in Exhibit “A”. SCs will be accessible 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year and Siemens shall make available the required dedicated and knowledgeable staff to respond to requests for technical and operational support and information (in person, via pager or via cell phone) 24
hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days per year. TRX will provide Siemens with access to TRX technical support staff as necessary to facilitate Siemens’ operation of the SCs in accordance with applicable SLAs. 

 

	 	5.2	Service Level Agreement(s). Siemens will be responsible for reporting, on a regular basis, as reasonably requested by TRX, on Siemens’ performance as it relates to the
individual SLA requirements for the preceding month. Such reporting shall be in writing and in such form as reasonably requested by TRX. 

  

	 	5.3	Service Improvements. Existing deficiencies or potential improvement opportunities in service levels, whether identified by TRX or Siemens, shall be communicated in writing
to the other party(ies) promptly upon discovery. Where improvements or deficiencies are identified, corrective measures shall be identified and implemented by Siemens to ensure continuous improvement of Services. TRX and Siemens shall jointly agree
to a timeframe for such deficiencies to be corrected or improvements to be made. Costs associated with correcting deficiencies shall be borne by Siemens; costs associated with implementing improvement opportunities shall be allocated between Siemens
and TRX as mutually agreed. Without limiting any rights otherwise available to a TRX, recurring service level deficiencies shall be addressed by TRX and Siemens executives, including each party’s Authorized Representative. The foregoing
provision shall be in addition to, and not limitation of, the provisions herein related to SLAs and the consequences of Siemens’ breach thereof. 

  

	 	5.4	Data Maintenance. Siemens shall collect and update all information and data obtained and compiled in the provision of Services and report the same to TRX for such periods and
in such formats as reasonably requested by TRX. Siemens shall keep all such data and information in paper format and, to the extent such storage of data does not result in incremental costs to Siemens’ existing infrastructure as defined in
Exhibit “C”, electronic format, for a period as determined by TRX. TRX shall, at all times, have access to such data and be able to make copies of such data upon request. Siemens will not charge TRX for such data maintenance services in
excess of the fees set forth in Section 7. 

  

	 	5.5	 Standard Enhancements. Siemens may, from time to time, improve the performance of the technology platform it uses in providing Services (the
“Standard Enhancements”). Siemens will notify TRX, in writing, of such improvements and the cost and Service impact of the same. TRX shall not incur or be liable for any costs associated with Standard Enhancements, unless specifically
requested and agreed to in writing, and in such case, only if accepted by TRX, acting reasonably. TRX will use reasonable efforts to respond in writing, indicating or denying consent within 30 days of receiving notice from Siemens of its intent to
implement a Standard Enhancement. In situations where consent is denied, both parties shall work together to make such Standard 

  

 6 

	 	 
Enhancements acceptable to TRX. TRX’s written consent is required for any enhancements that impact the Service, including the manner in which Customers
interface with TRX or Siemens. Siemens will give TRX at least ninety (90) days advance notice of the scheduled implementation of any Standard Enhancement(s) that may impact the manner in which Customers interface with TRX or Siemens. No Standard
Enhancement may lower the obligations of Siemens or reduce the quality of any Service provided. 

  

	 	5.6	Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery Plan. Siemens hereby agrees to implement and maintain the Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery Plan as mutually agreed with
TRX, as set forth in Exhibit “C” (the “BCP”). The BCP shall cover plans to provide redundancy for technology and business processes. In addition, Siemens will update from time to time the BCP to include requirements
substantially similar to those included in any agreements between TRX and the Customer who is supported by the Services and of which Siemens has been given notice. Any increased costs incurred by Siemens arising directly from implementing such
Customer-related updates shall be promptly illustrated for TRX upon its request and if agreed to by TRX will be added to the fees set forth in Section 7. If TRX does not agree to such fees Siemens will not be required to provide such updated
Services to the BCP. 

  

	 	5.7	Technology Optimization. To ensure that state of the art technology is used in the performance of the Services, upon TRX’s written request, but not more than once in any
twelve (12) month period, Siemens will, at no additional charge to TRX, review with TRX the technology used by Siemens in performing the Services, and technology available in the market. If execution of this review requires a study and investigation
through an external agency, or inputs from external experts, and prior expressed written approval is received from TRX, these related external costs will be chargeable to TRX. If at any time new technology is available in the market that renders
Siemens products and services obsolete or provides a substantially better way of conducting TRX’s business, Siemens shall make commercially-reasonable efforts to implement such technology, provided that TRX agrees to reimburse Siemens for the
net book value of the abandoned equipment. Nothing in this Section shall authorize any change in this Agreement without the execution of a mutually agreeable amendment. Fee reductions resulting from technology optimization will be mutually agreed.

  

	 	5.8	Reporting Requirements. Siemens shall maintain complete and accurate books, records, information and documentation of Siemens’ performance under the Agreement, to
substantiate Siemens’ charges under any invoice. Siemens shall retain such records for a period of three (3) years from the date of completion of all Services under the Agreement. 

  

	 	5.8.1 	In addition, for so long as this Agreement is in effect, Siemens shall furnish to TRX: 

  

	 	5.8.1.1 	 To the extent Siemens is aware of the same, prompt notice of the commencement of any proceeding or investigation by or before any Governmental Authority and any
action or proceeding in any court or other tribunal or before any 

  

 7 

	 	 
arbitrator against or in any other way relating adversely to, or adversely affecting, Siemens, its Affiliates or any of their respective properties, assets
or businesses which, if determined or resolved adversely to Siemens, could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on (1) the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations or business prospects of
Siemens and its Affiliates taken as a whole, (2) the ability of Siemens to perform its obligations under the Agreement, (3) the validity or enforceability of the Agreement, or (4) the rights and remedies of TRX under the Agreement (a

	 	5.8.1.3 	Prompt notice of any action taken by a Governmental Authority adversely impacting Siemens’ right or ability to provide the Services or use any of the SCs.

  

	 	5.8.1.4 	From time to time and promptly upon each request, such data, certificates, reports, statements, documents, or further information regarding the business, assets, liabilities,
financial condition, results of operations, or business prospects of Siemens, in each case to the extent such information relates to the Services provided to TRX, as TRX may reasonably request. 

  

	 	5.8.2 	For so long as this Agreement is in effect, TRX shall furnish to Siemens: 

  

	 	5.8.2.1 	To the extent TRX is aware of the same, prompt notice of the commencement of any proceeding or investigation by or before any Governmental Authority and any action or proceeding in
any court or other tribunal or before any arbitrator against or in any other way relating adversely to, or adversely affecting, TRX, its Affiliates or any of their respective properties, assets or businesses which, if determined or resolved
adversely to TRX, could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on (1) the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations or business prospects of TRX and its Affiliates taken as a whole, (2) the ability
of TRX to perform its obligations under the Agreement, (3) the validity or enforceability of the Agreement, or (4) the rights and remedies of Siemens under the Agreement.

	 	5.8.2.3 	Prompt notice of any action taken by a Governmental Authority adversely impacting TRX’s right or ability to receive the Services.

financial condition, results of operations or business prospects of TRX or of its Affiliates, in each case to the extent such information relates to the Services provided to TRX, as Siemens may reasonably request. 

  

	 	5.9	Subcontracting. Siemens shall be entitled to subcontract the performance of certain of its obligations hereunder to an Approved Siemens Subcontractor so long as such
subcontractor, for the services described in Exhibit A (“Core Services”), has been specifically approved in writing by TRX. So long as Siemens’ utilization of an Approved Siemens Subcontractor does not affect the fees or costs charged
to TRX under this Agreement, the specific terms and conditions of Siemens’ agreements with such Subcontractors shall not require TRX’s approval, provided that no such subcontract will result in Siemens providing less than a majority of the
Services directly, relieve Siemens of any obligations hereunder or allow the standards of any subcontractor to be any lower than those required of Siemens. In addition, TRX may, as a condition to providing its consent, impose such conditions as it
considers reasonably necessary for the performance of Services and protecting of its rights hereunder while some of the Core Services are subcontracted. TRX may revoke its consent to Siemens to subcontract certain Core Services or use a certain
subcontractor.

techniques, processes, know-how, inventions, models, drawings, algorithms, source code documents and other information disclosed or submitted in writing, orally or by any other tangible media. Any such materials, documents and information that were
delivered to the other party prior to the date of this Agreement are Confidential Information. As used herein, the term “Disclosing Party” means the party disclosing Confidential Information to the other party or on whose behalf
Confidential Information is disclosed, and the term “Receiving Party” means the party receiving the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. 

  

	 	12.1.1	Non-disclosure. During the Term and thereafter, each party agrees that it will (a) use such Confidential Information only as is necessary to perform its obligations under
this Agreement and (b) hold such Confidential Information in strict confidence from the date of its receipt using at least the same degree of care which such party employs for its own similar confidential information (but not less than reasonable
care), and (c) not disclose such Confidential Information to any person except its directors, officers, employees and other representatives who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement, provided the party

period of two (2) year thereafter. 

  

	 	12.1.2	Confidential Information shall not include the following (the “Non-Confidential Information”):

  

	 	(i)	any information that is in the public domain at the date of disclosure by Disclosmg Party to the Receiving Party or which, after such disclosure, enters the public domain through no
breach of any obligation owed Disclosing Party (but only after it enters the public domain); 

  

	 	(ii)	any information that the Receiving Party can prove is already known to Receiving Party at the time of Disclosmg Party’s initial disclosure of such information to Receiving
Party; 

  

	 	(iii)	any information that the Receiving Party can prove became known to Receiving Party from a source other than Disclosing Party other than by the breach of any obligation of
confidentiality owed to Disclosing Party; or 

  

	 	(iv)	any information that the Receiving Party can prove is independently developed by Receiving Party. 

  

 15 

 However, where any combination of information disclosed contains both Confidential Information and
Non-Confidential Information, such combination shall be deemed to be Confidential Information. 
  

	 	12.1.3 	The Receiving Party shall be entitled to disclose Confidential Information if required by a court of competent jurisdiction or regulatory body provided that (i) the Receiving Party
shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain the confidentiality by such court or regulatory body and (ii) the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with immediate written notice of any request or anticipated request for
disclosure so as to permit the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, TRX shall be entitled to make such disclosures as required under applicable securities legislation or
as TRX deems appropriate for the purpose of complying with applicable securities legislation. 

  

	 	12.1.4 	Receiving Party shall notify Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized (whether existing, anticipated or threatened) use or disclosure of Confidential
Information, or any other breach (whether existing, anticipated or threatened) of this Agreement by Receiving Party, and will cooperate with Disclosing Party in every reasonable way to help Disclosing Party maintain or regain possession of such
Confidential Information and prevent its unauthorized use or further unauthorized use. 

  

	 	12.1.5 	Receiving Party shall return all originals, copies, reproductions and summaries of Confidential Information upon the earlier of the expiration or termination of this Agreement or
Disclosing Party’s request, or at Receiving Party’s option, destroy and certify destruction of the same. 

  

	 	12.1.6 	Receiving Party acknowledges that the Disclosing Party will suffer irreparable harm as a result of breach of any of the non-disclosure and confidentiality clauses contained in this
Agreement and that legal remedies are inadequate; therefore the Receiving Party agrees that, in addition to any damages and other remedies that the Disclosing Party may be entitled to as a result of such a breach, in the event of any such breach the
Disclosing Party shall be entitled to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining the Receiving Party from breaching or continuing to breach any of those provisions and otherwise requiring specific performance of the foregoing
provisions. 

  

	 	12.1.7 	Subject to the provisions of Section 11.4, all Confidential Information is and shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party. By disclosing information to Receiving Party,
Disclosing Party does not grant any express or implied right to Receiving Party to or under Disclosing Party’s property including without limitation, Disclosing Party’s patents, copyrights, trademarks, industrial designs or trade secrets.

  

	 	12.1.8 	The terms of confidentiality under this Agreement shall not be construed to limit either party’s right to independently develop or acquire products without use of the other
party’s Confidential Information.

otherwise requires compliance herewith, then all of the costs and expenses, including its reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the party requesting such enforcement shall be reimbursed by the non-complying party to the requesting party.

  

	 	(c)	The parties agree to keep all disputes arising under this Agreement confidential except as necessary in connection with a judicial challenge to or enforcement of an award, or unless

 27 

	 	 
by virtue of this Agreement will have any right, power, or authority to act or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party. Under
no circumstances shall any Siemens employees utilized by Siemens to perform the Services be deemed employees of TRX. TRX and Siemens are not joint employers for any purpose under this Agreement. Siemens shall bear sole responsibility for payment of

benefit plan sponsored by TRX. 

  

	 	18.5	Governing Law. This Agreement, and any and all claims that may arise in connection with the Services, will be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Georgia without
consideration of its principles of conflicts of laws.

including, but not limited to, those arising from the indemnity, governing law, confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	 	18.7	Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights granted hereby may be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not

 PRIVACY POLICY 
  
 PRIVACY OF CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL & INFORMATION 
  
 It is important for the company to protect the privacy of confidential infonnation. Confidential company information can be anything that TRX considers
relevant to its status or operations that is not generally known to the public and that the company does not want to disclose. The release of confidential information, whether intentional or unintentional, can injure the company competitively and in
other ways. 
  
 In addition, our customers often provide us with
infonnation that is confidential and that may contain personally identifiable infonnation. It is therefore essential that discretion be exercised in discussing customer account activities with anyone outside the office or with anyone inside the
office without a verifiable need to know such information. Telephone inquiries regarding customers or customer account activities should be carefully screened for proper identity before divulging information that might be confidential. If you are
uncertain how to handle any such requests, offer no infonnation and follow-up with your manager. 
  
 Confidential infonnation and/or material should never be photocopied or disclosed to any company or individual, including other employees, without proper
authorization. If you are unsure if something is confidential, or if you have any questions regarding your responsibilities in dealing with confidential materials, please ask your manager before releasing information. 
  
 For those departments working with confidential information, please be sure
that all such material is locked up at the end of the day and on weekends in secure, locked files. Legal and financial documents should be locked securely in file cabinets. 
  
 Every employee is responsible for following this policy as well as complying with the terms of the confidentiality and
non-solicitation agreement that you signed prior to working with us. Any unauthorized disclosure of confidential information about the company or our customers may be a breach of the law, and will be considered sufficient cause for disciplinary
action, up to and including termination. Maintaining confidentiality is a serious matter and TRX will treat it as such.
