(d)                                 Minimum Payment Commitment.

 

(i)  Determination of Minimum Payment Commitment. As used herein, “Minimum Payment Commitment” means the total amount that Galileo commits to pay ITA during each License Fee Determination Period. All amounts payable to ITA by Galileo hereunder or under the SLA, other than services billed pursuant to Section 6(f), will be credited toward fulfillment of the Minimum Payment Commitment. For the purpose of determining the amount that should be credited toward the Minimum Payment Commitment for a particular License Fee Determination Period: (1) Per-PNR Online License Fees will be applied to the License Fee Determination Period in which the relevant PNRs were created; (2) (***) will be applied to the License Fee Determination Period in which the relevant Queries were performed; and (3) (***) and all other fees will

be applied to the License Fee Determination Period with respect to which the fee was incurred (i.e., fees incurred “for the period June 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004” will be applied to the License Fee Determination Period of January through June, 2004, regardless of when the fees are invoiced by ITA or paid by Galileo).

 

(ii)  Payment Terms. Within 30 days after the end of each License Fee Determination Period, ITA shall calculate the amount creditable toward the Minimum Payment Commitment with respect to such License Fee Determination Period, and if such amount is less than the Minimum Payment Commitment in effect for such License Fee Determination Period, then ITA will invoice Galileo for the shortfall. Galileo will pay such invoice within 30 days of receipt.”

 

6.                                         (***)

 

7.                                         Term. Section 7(a) is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:  “The term of this Agreement and the license granted to Galileo hereunder shall commence on the date hereof and shall end on December 31, 2006, unless terminated sooner or renewed, each as provided herein. Upon the expiration of the initial term and each subsequent renewal term (if any), the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended for a period of one year unless, on or before the date that is 90 days prior to the date of expiration of the initial term or the renewal term, as applicable, Galileo notifies ITA that it does not intend to renew the Agreement.”
