Product Description

EnCoRRe^™ Service Bureau

The EnCoRRe Service Bureau provides an efficient and effective plan to successfully implement a universal mid-office quality assurance solution to enhance the file finishing of all PNRs generated by the User world-wide, regardless of GDS used . The system is designed to be scaleable enough to accommodate an implementation of any size.

Utilization of a Service Bureau and TTG’s staff of trained mid-office experts, means there would be no need for the User staff and train personnel to execute software implementation at multiple regional sites. The exact same set of routines being run on all User’s PNRs, there can be a single uniform standard of reservation finishing delivered to all User’s clients. Having all PNRs in a centralized location also provides User a complete source for data mining to maximize vendor usage, identify savings opportunities, and more. Reports breaking out data will be available via the Internet, giving User’s managers access to this data at any time. Ramp-up time is no longer an issue, as users can take advantage of numerous routines already available in the system.

EnCoRRe’s powerful Oracle database allows the mid-office quality assurance system to work on all major GDSs simultaneously. EnCoRRe can take a single set of business rules and apply them to reservations booked by multiple travel agencies, across the globe. This advanced functionality provides large, multi-national corporations and major travel agencies with the potential to reap significant savings in travel through universal policy-compliant testing of PNRs and maximized efficiency in mid-office.

EnCoRRe is an “ultimately configurable” enterprise solution to current mid-office issues. Data generated by EnCoRRe routines provides global corporations with a unified and consistent service for back-office usage and reconciliation. The strength offered by the system’s Oracle database also provides a handy and accessible data depository for agencies and corporations.

EnCoRRe performs virtually all CRS processes, including file finishing and ticketing. From a skeleton reservation it will perform all the necessary functions normally done by a travel agent. EnCoRRe shall handle remarks, reporting information, exception rules, internal and external customer documentation, and more. The system can also schedule ticketing and complete that process. It is designed to work directly with an automated booking system to communicate any issues that come up directly to the traveler via E-mail, fax, or PDA device, and run the tickets accordingly, thus creating a totally automated environment.

Reporting

EnCoRRe will generate web-based reports to aid both clients and managers. Using Business Objects software, these reports will be the result of the finest mid-office data mining available in the travel industry today. EnCoRRe will be able to provide:

• Ad-hoc reporting

• A high-security standard

• Automatic scheduling of reports

• Automatic publishing and distribution of reports

• Customization to accommodate any client

• Graphing

• Branching by division and sub-division

Product Description

CRS Screen Highlighter with ResNotes^™

CRS Screen Highlighter^® with ResNotes is a utility loaded on the GDS LAN or stand alone PC, which allows the travel agency to designate colorful, attention-grabbing attributes and special messages to passenger name records (PNRs) and traveler profiles. Highlighter can help assure that important quality control messages and traveler profile information are never again ignored or overlooked by busy travel agents. Some capabilities of the system are:

• Identifies CEO, VIP, and frequent flyer numbers

• Calls attention to “last day to purchase” fares

• Highlights penalties and restrictions

• Can keep track of travelers who have saved non-refundable tickets

• Reminds agents of visa requirements

PNR messages from supervisory or support personnel as well as messages from manual or automated quality control sources such as the EnCoRRe system can be highlighted for special notice and action!

Highlighter runs on all Windows-based GDS. The program contains a library of highlights, which can be edited or deleted as the user elects. New highlights are added using a “point & click” set-up program and assisted by onscreen “help” balloons. The user can select from a library of sound (WAV) files, color options, fonts-and attributes supported by their Windows environment. The system provides weekly suggestions for effective use.

Highlighter is takes up a small amount of memory on the PC file server and should not slow down “screen refresh” or response time. The program enables features to be turned off for particular travel counselors as needed.

ResNotes allow the user to “tag” complete messages to the GDS text for customer service advice, proprietary rate and fare information or additional product or support information.

Highlights or ResNotes messages can be added or changed by supervisory personnel from any workstation. Customer service staff can also input information that can be accessed instantly and automatically by the travel counselor at the time a reservation is being made.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:

The following items should be present and ready at customer site prior to arrival of the TTG installer:

• At least one AT (80386 or preferably 80486) class IBM compatible PC or an operational GDS-supplied LAN made up of IBM compatible PCs which meets the following minimum criteria:

• 8MB Ram

• Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups installed.

• One high density floppy disk drive, either 3.5” or 5.25” (must be specified)

• Minimum 40MB free file server disk space

• Color graphics monitor

Product Description

InfoLink^™

The primary function of this product is to be able to share / copy / etc. files (primarily CRS Screen Highlighter^® files) over TCP/IP connections to the Internet.

InfoLink capabilities and features include:

• Allows the user/travel manager to update Highlighter files and then automatically transfer them to all their users via the Internet. This will allow adds and updates which will synchronize files at the counselor level.

• The receptacle for all the file information (the Server) can be hosted at TTG or maintained at the user/travel manager’s pre-determined location.

• When a company administrator (example: one machine at a User agency location) has been assigned, they will make the file adds/updates and set up groups of users who have rights to get those files. This information goes to the Server (at TTG or other host site) via the Internet.

• The end users (example: the Highlighter 4 Admin machines at various locations) will automatically call or “poll” the Server (at TTG or other host site) via the Internet. Once access is gained, they can see if there are adds/updates that they have rights to, collect those files, and put them in the correct shared directory.

• At this point, counselor sets will look to the Highlighter 4 Admin’s machine for any highlight updates they have been given rights to get.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION & REQUIREMENTS:

The minimum system hardware and software requirements for InfoLink include:

• Intel Pentium or compatible running at 60 MHz or more

• VGA compatible display (16 colors or more)

• 16 MB of free hard disk space

• 16 MB of RAM

• One 3.5 inch floppy drive and/or a CD ROM drive (for installation)

• Windows 95 or Windows 98

• A mouse or other pointing device

• Internet connectivity (access to The Internet)

This requires a non dial-up connection to the Internet using TCP/IP protocol. If a firewall exists, port 1088 and port 1090 must be open unrestricted. A later version will not have the restriction of ports 1088 and 1090.

1 1.0 Summary

Information, and the technology used to support that information, has significant value to American Express. Both the information and the technology are subject to various threats that, if realized, could result in direct financial loss to American Express. In addition, financial loss may also occur due to indirect factors such as:

• Loss of customer confidence;

• Embarrassment to the American Express reputation;

• Loss of competitive position;

• Degradation of employee productivity or morale; and

• Failure to meet legal or regulatory requirements.

To manage these threats, a minimum set of control requirements called the American Express Minimum Security Baseline (MSB) has been developed. It defines the minimum required sets of security features, mechanisms, and assurances that must be employed on systems which process, store, or communicate American Express information. This Security Standard, along with guidelines and procedures, has been developed to meet the Company’s requirements for confidentiality, integrity, accountability, and availability applicable to American Express systems, networks, and information. A risk assessment will be performed as required to further define the risk and magnitude of loss that could occur from inadvertent or deliberate destruction, alteration or disclosure of information and denial of service. Please refer to the Risk Assessment and Management Standard.

The MSB constitutes the minimum Information Protection controls that American Express will accept for the protection of American Express information. American Express information and associated American Express resources will be protected against unauthorized access, accidental or unauthorized modification, disclosure, or destruction in accordance with MSB requirements.

When implemented, the MSB requirements will provide the appropriate levels of Identification & Authentication, Authorization (Access Control), Accountability, Backup, and Physical Security necessary to protect American Express information.

It is the responsibility of the Business Unit Manager to assure that the MSB described in this document is implemented and maintained on a current basis. All new and revised technologies and business processes must incorporate the controls from this document before becoming operational. The responsible Business Unit Manager must prepare a Request for Deviation for business systems where MSB controls are not implemented. The justifications for not including MSB controls include cost, existing compensating controls in the system, or a management decision to accept the associated risk.

2.0 Scope

2.1 Applicable Organizations

This Standard applies to all components of American Express (AMEX), including all subsidiaries, affiliates, and any agents.

3.0 Standards Description

American Express MSB requirements are derived in part from the United States Government’s Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC) Controlled Access Protection (“C2”) requirements. These requirements have been modified to reflect current computer industry “Best Practices” and security considerations. This was done to ensure that American Express computing security requirements are compliant with globally-accepted standards for “trusted” systems.

The MSB is structured according to an eight part model. The figure below identifies the components of the model and depicts their relationship.

3.1 Applying the Minimum Security Baseline

The MSB control requirements must be applied consistently to all American Express information and technology. However, in some cases the impact of replicated controls across multiple environments may be inefficient and costly. To help reduce the redundancy, a series of technical standards have been produced. The objectives of these technical standards are to:

    *    

This process views information and technology as a composite. This single view approach can be applied to stand-alone and networked environments alike and identifies security interdependencies across technologies. The result is a cost effective and efficient implementation of one requirement across multiple technologies rather than implementation of redundant control solutions for each technology.

3.2 Minimum Security Baseline Requirements

The definition of each component of the MSB is as follows:

1.     *    .

12 1. Summary

Physical Security is the process of protecting information and technology from physical and environmental threats. Physical access to information processing areas and their supporting infrastructure (communications, power, and environmental) must be controlled to prevent, detect, and minimize the effects of unintended access to these areas (e.g., unauthorized information access, or disruption of information processing itself).

Access control is established by imposing standards for protection at the building, processing area, and supporting infrastructure areas. Environmental threat control protects information and technology against environmental hazards, e.g., fire, water. The level of control imposed on these areas will reflect the nature of the importance of the information handled or supported by the area to corporate operations.

Hardware:

• Database Servers:

All logical disk devices on the EnCoRRe database server utilize a     *     to protect the data in the event of a physical disk failure. Each controller has a dedicated     *     background process that will inform administrative staff of a failure via email. A defective drive can be quickly identified and replaced without customer impact. Spare hard drives are kept onsite.

Critical parts for the Compaq database servers are housed onsite. Non-critical parts can be obtained at Compaq’s and HP’s parts facilities in Dallas. Parts from these facilities can be over-nighted to TRX’s location and available within 24 hours.

In case of total server failure, a second server used for web based reporting will be used for quick recovery. This second server does not have the same capacity as the production server and will result in diminished service however, it will enable TRX to continue processing of critical reservations (rush queue only). Fail over to this second server would take approximately     *    

• Workstations:

Client workstations are rack mounted, industrial grade, PC’s. Extra parts as well as complete spares are kept onsite in case of failure. In case of failure, there would be no impact upon service levels.

21.1 Power:

Network servers, database servers, workstations, gateways, etc. are all protected from power outages and “spikes” by an     *     This system can sustain operations for up to four hours. Stress tests are done quarterly. In case of fail over, each UPS notifies administrative staff via email and pager.

If power is not restored within     *     minutes, non-critical systems (monitors, email servers, etc.) are brought down to sustain power as long as possible. Customers are notified of the potential for downtime and the unscheduled downtime communication plan begins.

Once the UPS reaches     *     of remaining capacity, customers are notified and the systems are brought down until power is restored. Customers are notified hourly and as soon as power is restored.

TRX has     *     and     *     offsite monitoring. Each unit is tested and serviced monthly.

TRX is currently pricing the purchase and installation of a diesel generator for continuous backup.

Fire:

In case of fire, the current system in the data center is “wet” and will activate only over the hot zone. The onsite staff has “dry” extinguishers available. The onsite staff has been trained in fire prevention and will take all necessary steps to put out the fire and contact the fire department if necessary. TRX is researching an automated and “dry” fire prevention system.

Cooling:

The data center is cooled by two 10 ton Liebert air conditioning and de-humidifying systems. In case of failure, a single unit can provide enough cooling to keep the system running until the second system is repaired.

TRX has     *     and     *     offsite monitoring and     *     emergency support. Each unit is tested and serviced monthly.

A/C Contact Information:

Name:     *    

Phone:     *    

Data center Access:

Access is controlled to the building, the suite, and to the data center via picture identification swipe cards. Only pre-authorized staff is allowed into the data center and access is kept to a minimum.

GDS Access:

The EnCoRRe service bureau is dependent upon GDS access provided by several GDS suppliers. The customer provides the access to these GDS’s and support levels are provided under an agreement the customer has with each GDS. Downtime response provided by the GDS can vary however, TRX is provided premium support levels from all GDS vendors.

• Gateways:

Gateways are workstations used to communicate from the client workstations to the GDS host. TRX uses a third party gateway provided by     *    . Spare software and hardware are kept onsite in case of system failure. Multiple gateways are used for redundancy. In case of failure, the applications will automatically fail over to the redundant gateway.

• CRS Lines:

Redundant lines are installed to provide access to the GDS host. Downtime is minimal. In case of CRS failure, the following are called:

Communications Plan:

• Scheduled Downtime:

Downtime for routine maintenance, upgrades, system administration, etc. will be considered “scheduled”. Scheduled downtime will be kept between     *    All scheduled downtime will be communicated by email in advance and kept to a preset calendar.

The initial downtime calendar will be determined and distributed during implementation. Each month, notification will be sent by email containing the date and duration for scheduled downtime that month as well as any changes in the scheduled downtime schedule.

• Unscheduled Downtime:

Downtime for immediate bug fixes, hardware failure, CRS failure, etc. will be considered “unscheduled”. Notification will be sent by email as soon as possible containing the cause of the downtime and estimated or actual duration. Additional notifications will be sent by email every hour and upon system startup.

• Logging

Data center staff log all scheduled and unscheduled downtime, system alarms, and steps taken to recover. This log is used to determine overall system uptime and steps required improving uptime performance.

• Remote monitoring

TRX is in the process of creating a web based monitoring application that will allow our customers to view a “dashboard” of all system processes and status. PNR’s on queue, workstations running, database capacity, PNRs processed by hour, etc. will be displayed.

2.1 The Escrow Materials shall be administered by Escrow Agent from the location specified on Exhibit C and shall not be moved to any other location without the express written consent of Amexco and Depositor. Escrow Agent shall notify Depositor in writing of any change in location.

2.2 Amexco shall have the right, at any time upon at least ten (10) days’ written notice to Depositor and Escrow Agent, upon receipt of consent by TTG which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to select and designate a new escrow agent to replace the Escrow Agent hereunder. Upon such notice and upon payment of any outstanding fees due Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall completely, safely and securely transfer the Escrow Materials to the new escrow agent (which will then become the “Escrow Agent” hereunder) and confirm such transfer in writing to Amexco and Depositor. Amexco shall be responsible for all costs, fees and expenses in connection with the new escrow arrangement.

ARTICLE 3: Verification of Escrow Materials

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

____s American Express Corporate Travel Online (CTO) Agreement (“Agreement”) is between American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (“Company”,” we”, “us” and “our”) and the Customer identified on the first page of this Agreement (“Customer”, “you” and “your”). This Agreement covers your use of the CTO interactive travel-booking product, together with any associated documentation, materials and information (the “Product”). The Product is to be used primarily for the purpose of planning and making reservations for airline tickets, hotel accommodations and car rentals for business travel in the conduct of your own business and you will not redistribute or resell the Product. By signing this Agreement, or by your employees, agents or representatives using the Product, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained herein. This Agreement becomes effective on the Effective Date set forth on the first page of this Agreement. All rights not specifically granted Customer under this Agreement are expressly reserved to us and/or our provider of the Product (“Provider”). Such Provider shall be at all times an intended third party beneficiary to this Agreement. Provider reserves the right, in it sole discretion, to modify, discontinue, add, adapt, or otherwise change any design or specification of the Product and/or policies, procedures, and requirements specified in or related hereto.

2. FEES

2.1. You agree to pay us fees as set forth in this Agreement and Appendix A, which is attached and incorporated herein, and such other fees as may be agreed-upon between the parties. We may change the Booking or Maintenance Fees upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to you. The Implementation Fee is payable to us upon signing of this Agreement by you. Maintenance Fees are payable to us upon the issuance of your first airline ticket using the Product, or within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, whichever is earlier. Booking Fees will be payable per Transaction, beginning with the first airline ticket issuance, as set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement, which is attached and incorporated herein. Booking Fees do not include fees for fulfillment and _iceting of booked travel using the Product, which will be charged under a separate agreement with us or another travel service provider. You agree to pay for your use of the Product as set forth in this Agreement. Any requested services which we provide, in addition to those specifically set forth in this Agreement, may be subject to additional fees. You agree to pay for all debit memos we receive as a result of your use of the Product, unless such debit memos are solely due to our fault or negligence.

2.2. The parties hereby recognize that the financial terms of this Agreement are based upon certain assumptions about standard travel industry conventions, and about your service requirements. If there is a material change (i) in any rules, orders, laws or regulations, whether by a court of law, a government entity, an airline, the International Airline Travel Agency Network or the Airline Reporting Corporation, or any other applicable governing body, governing the manner in which we or other travel agents may operate, or (ii) in your service configuration, service needs, or the manner in which you use the Product, any of which result in additional fees, losses, costs, surcharges or expenses being imposed on us to perform this Agreement, then upon notice to you, we will have the right, beginning on the date of such material change, to increase the Booking Fee, Maintenance Fee, or other fees (the “Fees”) in an amount as reasonably necessary to compensate us for such additional fees, losses, costs, surcharges or expenses. We will provide you with written notice (the “Notice”) of any such change in the Fees. If upon receipt of such Notice, you do not accept the new Fees, you may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to us within ten (10) business days of receipt of the Notice. Failure to provide written notice of termination within ten (10) business days shall constitute your acceptance of the new Fees.

3. BILLING AND PAYMENT

If we provide you with traditional travel services under a separate business travel services agreement or other similar agreement (“BTSA”), you will receive a single billing statement (“Statement”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the BTSA, and payment terms will be as set forth in the BTSA. If you are not a party to a BTSA, you will receive a Statement monthly, setting forth the fees and other charges incurred for that month (“Amount Due”). We will automatically charge the Amount Due to the payment vehicle set forth on the first page

25

of this Agreement. The terms and conditions of said payment vehicle will govern payment of the Amount Due thereunder. If in any monthly billing period your revenue (as calculated in Section 4 below) exceeds all outstanding fees and charges (including Overdue Amount(s)), we will remit to you such net positive balance within forty-five (45) days of the billing date set forth on the Statement.

If for any reason we cannot collect the Amount Due, whether under your BTSA or otherwise, you agree to remit payment of the Amount Due within thirty (30) days of the billing date set forth on the Statement. All charges which remain unpaid after thirty (30) days (“Overdue Amount”) are subject to a monthly delinquency charge equal to the lesser of fifteen dollars ($15.00) or two percent (2%) of the Overdue Amount, subject to applicable law(s).

If we also provide you with E-Fulfillment Services under an EFC Contract between the parties, you will receive a combined Statement for both your use of the Product and the E-Fulfillment services.

4. REVENUE SHARING.

Commissions, Overrides and other revenue resulting from your use of the Product will only be received and collected on your behalf if fulfillment of your CTO travel reservations is requested by you under the terms and conditions of either (i) your BTSA; or( ii) your separate agreement with us for the provision of E-Fulfillment Services.
