For the purposes of this Agreement, "Client" means (a) any natural or legal person to whom the Principal provides Services (either directly or through the Principal); and/or (b) any natural or legal person who has contacted the Principal or has been contacted by the Principal to potentially be provided Services by the Principal and/or (c) any natural or legal person who has contacted the Principal to contract, or has been contacted by the Principal to offer, the service of planning, design and sale of trips and/or experiences.

For such purposes, the Principal hereby undertakes (i) to provide the Services to the Clients, always exclusively in the name and on behalf of the Principal, in accordance with the terms and conditions offered by the Principal to the Clients, published at any time on the website www.vilutravel.com, as the same may be updated from time to time by the Principal (the "Terms and Conditions"); (ii) not to perform any act or omission that violates or is inconsistent with the Terms and Conditions; (iii) not to provide any necessary information on status, quotations, mailings, etc. that may be requested by any member of the Principal, as may be requested by any member of the Client, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.); (ii) not to perform any act or omission in violation of or inconsistent with the Terms and Conditions; (iii) to provide the necessary information on status, quotations, mailings, etc. as may be requested by any member of the Principal's team; (iv) to upload all information on all trips that the Principal is working on to the CRM platform designated for such purpose and provided by the Principal; and (v) not to accept any invitation to trips or events from any supplier, Client or related party of the Principal without the prior written authorization of the Principal.

In addition, the Principal undertakes to provide the Services to the Principal, to address and conduct itself with the Client in accordance and in strict compliance with the Principal's current service quality standards (the "Quality Standards"), for the purposes of this Agreement, a copy of the Quality Standards is attached hereto as Exhibit "A", provided, however, that such Quality Standards may be amended by the Principal from time to time. The Principal may give notice of such changes to the Commission Merchants and such modified versions shall govern and supersede those attached hereto as Exhibit A.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Components" means, with respect to any trip or experience that is the subject of the Services, any reservation, flight, accommodation, tour, transportation, service, activity, tour and/or food, etc.

The Principal shall, at the request of the Principal, make payments for certain Components as instructed by the Principal in accordance with the quality standards in "Attachment A", subject always to verification with the Principal that the Principal has received the relevant payments from each Client. In order to make such Component payments, the Principal shall provide the Principal with the means of payment necessary for the Principal to make such payments, including without limitation debit and/or credit cards in the name of the Principal where the account holder is the Principal (the "Means of Payment"). In the event that the Principal needs to make Component payments by means other than the Payment Means, including without limitation domestic or international interbank transfers, the Principal shall request the Principal to make such payments directly. The Principal shall at all times be responsible for the proper use of the Means of Payment, only and exclusively using them in accordance with the instructions of the Principal and shall be liable to the Principal for any purchase or expenditure made without the authorization of the Principal, and shall also be responsible for the care and safekeeping of such Means of Payment, leaving the Principal free and harmless from any liability, damage or loss incurred by the misuse of any Means of Payment.

(a) The Parties agree that as consideration for the commission under this Agreement, the Principal shall be entitled, in respect of each trip or experience that the Principal has sold to a particular Client (for the account and on behalf of the Principal) to receive the percentages and commissions set forth in the document attached hereto as Exhibit "B" (the "Commissions"), the terms of the Commissions may be modified once a year as of January 1 of each current calendar year.

(b) Commissions will be paid provided that the following requirements are met: a) The products and services are only available through the means provided and authorized by the Client. If you wish to book a product not previously authorized by the Principal, this must be reviewed with the management team. In case of booking products or services through unauthorized means, the commissions may not be paid in whole or in part. b) A joint review is made between the Principal and the Principal on the actual Services rendered, with the obligation of the Principal to submit a report in the format and on the platform provided by the Principal for such purpose (the "Travel Report"). In such Trip Report, the Principal shall describe and itemize all the profits per Client and per trip obtained for the rendering of Services. The Parties agree that the payment of Commissions is subject at all times to the Client's review of said Trip Report and the amounts of the Commissions may vary in accordance with such review in each case. c) The Commissions shall be paid to the Commission Merchant within the first 15 days of the month immediately following the completion of the trip review with the Client provided that 100% of the earnings have been effectively collected.

In the event that the trip or experience is cancelled and/or payments for the respective trip or experience have not been effectively received by the Principal, the Commissions relating to such trip or experience shall not be payable to the Commission Agent. Regardless of any other consequences provided for in the present Contract, any expenses or damages caused by any error, additional expense or any claim for the respective trip or experience, as described in the Terms and Conditions, shall be deducted from the respective Commission, since part of the obligations of the Commission Merchant under the present Contract is to corroborate that the trip or experience does not contain errors or inconsistencies.

(c) In order to make the payment of any Commissions, the Broker shall have issued to the Principal the Digital Tax Receipt by Internet (CFDI) corresponding to such payment, with all the legal and fiscal requirements applicable according to the laws of Mexico, in the understanding, however, that each Broker shall be obliged to pay its respective taxes.

The Parties hereby agree that the terms of payment of the Commissions may be modified by the Principal at any time by giving at least 60 calendar days' notice, whereby the terms of payment of the Commissions notified by the Principal to the Contractor from time to time shall supersede the provisions of this Clause to be notified in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) In addition to the Commissions, the Principal shall offer to the Principal those incentives described in the document attached hereto as Exhibit "C", which also contains certain minimum sales parameters with which the Principal must comply (the "Minimum Sales"), in case the Principal does not comply with such Minimum Sales, the Principal may terminate this Agreement without any liability whatsoever for the Principal.
