In connection with each Marketing Program, Galileo and Orbitz shall enter into a Summary of Marketing Program Terms, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

  C.   Funding. Galileo and Orbitz shall fund the Initial Marketing Program, with the amount of each Party’s contribution to be up to the Galileo Marketing Contribution Cap and Orbitz Marketing Contribution Cap, respectively. Orbitz shall run online marketing campaigns (each, a “Marketing Campaign”), with the timing and nature of each Marketing Campaign to be determined by Orbitz after reasonable consultation with Galileo. The parties will evaluate the results of each Marketing Campaign, and each party shall determine in its sole discretion after such evaluation whether or not to contribute additional money to the Initial Marketing Program for additional Marketing Campaigns. The Marketing Campaigns may include (without limitation) paid advertisements on travel research websites (for example, Travelzoo.com) or paid search marketing on search engines (for example, Google). If the Total Marketing Dollars are not expended during the Marketing Campaign, any unused amounts will be returned to the parties in proportion to each party’s contribution.

Each Party to this Amendment agrees that, other than as expressly set out in this Amendment, nothing in this Amendment is intended to alter the rights, duties and obligations of the Parties under the Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect as amended hereby. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall govern. This Amendment may be executed by the Parties in separate counterparts and each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
