3. MEMBERSHIP DUTIES AND OPPORTUNITIES. a. Membership Duties. As an Agent, you shall (i) support the travel industry and GTI by promoting, generating and creating travel sales for the duration of your Membership, (ii) act according to the professional standards of the travel and tourism industry and GTI, (iii) service any and all clients in a prompt and courteous manner, and (iv) comply with these Terms and Conditions and the guidelines contained in the Program materials provided by GTI and available on www.globaltravel.com (collectively, the “Guidelines”), as the same may be amended by GTI from time to time in its sole discretion.

You acknowledge and understand that GTI may provide the Agency Booking Code/IATA number for the sole purpose of booking travel with Travel Suppliers/Providers/Vendors. The Code is to be provided to these Suppliers/Providers/Vendors for the purpose of issuing commission payments directly to GTI. You are not to use the Agency Booking Code for the purpose of booking travel in which the Travel Supplier/Provider/Vendor deducts any payment of commission due and payable to GTI, providing you with a rate net of commission. Any deviation from this policy will result in your Membership being placed under a probationary status and may result in monetary fines and/or termination of Membership.

You further acknowledge and understand that it is a direct violation of GTI policy to alter your GTI Identification Card in any way. Your failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions and/or the Guidelines may subject you to immediate cancellation of your Membership, and possible forfeiture of any and all Commissions, Cash Bonuses and/or Renewal Bonuses and any other monies earned by and payable to you. Furthermore, any deviation by you of these Terms and Conditions or the Guidelines may be considered as an act or acts of fraud and GTI may seek prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

b. Membership Opportunities. As an Agent, you may be eligible for special, exclusive travel opportunities and prices negotiated exclusively for GTI and certain travel industry and non-travel industry perks and benefits offered by GTI from time to time. GTI may determine eligibility for such opportunities and perks and benefits in its sole discretion. Benefits offered by travel and tourism suppliers and others in the travel and tourism industry are discretionary privileges. As a condition of your continued Membership in the Program, GTI may, in its sole discretion, restrict and/or prohibit the type of contact you may have with selected suppliers and/or groups of suppliers in the travel and tourism industry.

c. Classification Requirements. If your Membership is currently at a classification rank that requires verification of travel sales productivity, you are solely responsible for timely providing the required information to GTI. Travel sales productivity requirements are based on a rolling twelve (12) month period and must be produced to GTI by you immediately upon GTI’s request. Failure to timely provide the requested information may result in a change in Membership classification and a subsequent loss of Program benefits. Specific information with regard to travel sales productivity requirements is posted on www.globaltravel.com.

While the primary components of these offerings are subject to change at any time, at the sole discretion of GTI, the majority of these optional programs, products and/or services are provided through electronic means (i.e. email, web links, etc.). As such, you agree, unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase in writing, that once any of the materials for these optional programs, products and/or services, in part or as a whole, have been provided in an electronic form or any other manner and proprietary information has been divulged for your use, they are not refundable.

Upon termination of your Membership, you agree to forfeit and waive all rights to any Pending Commissions and/or Bonuses related to your transactions as an Agent of GTI unless otherwise prohibited by law.

You authorize GTI to collect payment of your Membership Fees, Renewal Fee(s) and any other charges, including, but not limited to, charges for additional and/or optional programs, products and/or services offered by GTI, by automatically charging any billing vehicle GTI has on file for you. Should you prefer to be billed in advance for your annual Membership Renewal Fee rather than charged automatically for any Membership Renewal Fees, you must notify GTI in writing no less than sixty (60) days from the expiration date of your Membership. For any amount owed by you to GTI, GTI reserves the right to (i) assess late fees and penalties for past due balances to the maximum extent allowed by law, (ii) process the balance due and all associated late fees and penalties (for past due amounts), and Collection Costs and Returned Check Fees (as such terms are defined below) on any billing vehicle that GTI has on file for you, (iii) offset the balance due plus any late fees and penalties and Collection Costs and Returned Check Fees against any type of Commissions, Quick Cash Bonuses or Renewal Bonuses payable to you, and (iv) hold any documents, without liability to you, that GTI may have in its possession until the balance due and all associated late fees and penalties (for past due amounts) are remitted. In the event that GTI incurs any fees and costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, in connection with its collection of any amounts due from you to GTI (the "Collection Costs"), you agree to pay all Collection Costs.

Said purchase may include, but may not be limited to, Membership Fees and/or purchases for optional programs, products and/or services. Such payment plan will be assigned at the time of purchase and may not be changed by you once established. If you select an installment or monthly payment plan at the time of purchase, you agree that all payments within the schedule will be automatically charged on the assigned due date to the billing vehicle chosen at the time of purchase. Collection of your initial payment of the agreed upon plan will indicate your agreement to make all payments to GTI as scheduled and agreed upon at the time of initial purchase of the applicable Membership or optional program, product or service, providing you have not elected to cancel your Membership pursuant to paragraph 6c of these terms.

b. Payments Not Collected. If GTI is unable to collect the full amount or any amount of a payment due and payable to GTI for your Membership, Renewal and/or any optional programs, products and/or services, GTI reserves the right to terminate or suspend your Membership and/or your optional programs, products and/or services without notification. In addition, in the event we are unable to collect all of any portion of any payment billed to your credit card, you will be charged a fee in the amount determined by applicable law. Upon receipt of the total amount due, GTI may reactivate your Membership, optional programs, products and/or services subject to receipt of late fees, which may be charged to the maximum extent required by law. GTI also reserves the right to accelerate any and all balances for payments due for Membership and/or Renewal Fees should you default on your agreed payment plan.

i. Collections of Monthly Fees by Third Party Agencies.

14. MISCELLANEOUS. a. You are an Independent Contractor of GTI. These Terms and Conditions do not constitute the sale of a franchise or distributorship to you and are intended to create an independent contractor relationship between you and GTI, and shall be interpreted to effectuate such intent. Nothing contained in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed to create a joint venture, partnership, association, or other affiliation or like relationship between you and GTI. You shall be solely responsible for determining the means and methods for performing your duties. You shall not represent that you are an employee or affiliate of GTI, and shall at all times represent yourself as an independent contractor of GTI. You shall not under any circumstances be deemed to be an employee or affiliate of GTI for any purposes, including federal tax purposes.

b. All Disputes Shall be Settled by Arbitration. In the event of a dispute between you and GTI, you and GTI agree that a prompt and fair resolution, without the time and expense of formal court proceedings, would be in both parties’ mutual interests. All disputes shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration to be conducted in Orange County, Florida, or a location closest to Orange County, Florida if no such location for the chosen arbitration body exists there. MANDATORY ARBITRATION REPLACES THE RIGHT OF EITHER PARTY TO GO TO COURT AND DEMAND A JURY TRIAL. The party filing the arbitration must choose one of the following three arbitration firms and follow its rules and procedures for initiating and pursuing an arbitration:

•American Arbitration Association, 335 Madison Avenue, Floor 10, New York, NY 100174605 (phone: 8007787879) (http://www.adr.org) •National Arbitration Forum, P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 554050191 (phone: 8004742371) (http://www.arbforum.com) •JAMS, 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92614 (phone: 9492241810) (http://www.jamsadr.com)

In the event that the selected firm cannot administer the arbitration, the party filing the arbitration will select another of the firms. Each party will bear its own expenses, and the parties will share equally the filing and other fees of the arbitration firm and the expenses of the arbitrator, except that the arbitrator will be entitled to award a different allocation of costs and fees where the arbitrator determines that a filed claim is frivolous. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. Any award in arbitration initiated under this clause will be limited to monetary damages and will include no injunction or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount, except as required by statute or to comply with the terms of the contract. Any award rendered by the arbitrator will be final and binding upon each of the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section. During the pendency of such arbitration and until final judgment thereon has been entered, these Terms and Conditions will remain in full force and effect unless otherwise terminated as provided hereunder. If a provision of this clause is held to be invalid, the remainder of the clause will remain in full force and effect, and, to this end, the provisions of this clause are severable. In the event that any State or Federal court rules that this arbitration provision is defective in whole or part or permits an action to be filed in a State or Federal court then the parties agree to have their dispute heard before a court located nearest to Orange County, Florida. The parties also agree to have any such dispute heard before a Judge and waive any rights to a Trial By Jury.

c. Waiver. The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not operate as a waiver of a breach of any other provision of these Terms and Conditions by any party.

d. Credit Reports. You authorize GTI to report GTI’s credit experience with you to others solely for: (i) periodic review of your independent contractor booking activity; and (ii) collection purposes.

e. Call Monitoring/Recording/Prerecorded MessagingPredictive Dialing. You understand that GTI may monitor, tape and/or record any conversation that may occur between us. However, GTI is not obligated to do so and it may choose not to do so. You authorize GTI to contact you at their discretion by using prerecorded messaging devices and/or Predictive Dialing devices. If you choose not to be contacted by this method, please contact Agent Services.

All notices, requests, consents, and other communications required or permitted pursuant to these Terms and Conditions shall be in writing, including electronic transmission, and shall be, as elected by the person giving such notice, hand delivered by messenger or courier service, or mailed via regular mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to GTI at its principal offices as set forth on www.globaltravel.com, and if to you, to the most recent address on record with GTI. Each such communication shall be deemed delivered on the date delivered if by personal delivery, messenger or courier service, or five (5) days from the postmark on such communication.

You may not assign your Membership, your duties as a GTI Agent, or your rights or obligations pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.

h. Severability. If any term, condition or provision of these Terms and Conditions or the application thereof to any party or circumstance shall, at any time or to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms and Conditions shall not be affected thereby. In each other term, condition and provision of these Terms and Conditions shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

i. Certain Provisions Survive Termination, Cancellation or Expiration of Your Membership. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in these Terms and Conditions shall survive the termination, cancellation or expiration of your Membership.

j. The Headings Are for Convenience of Reference Only.

l. These Terms and Conditions Are Our Entire Agreement.
