16. TERMINATION
-----------
a. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by Licensor
either at each of the (applicable) Hotels or in general as defined below upon
the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) At the Hotels, if Licensee shall fail to pay the sums to
Licensor called for in Paragraph 4 hereof and such failure continues for five
(5) business days after written notice that the same is due;
(ii) At the Hotels, if Licensee shall violate or breach any of
the material terms, conditions or covenants hereof and shall not remedy such
violation or breach
12
within ten (10) days after written notice by Licensor to Licensee of such
violation or breach.
(iii) At the Hotels, if Licensee's operation and use of the
Licensed Area shall at any time violate or fail to conform to covenants and
conditions established herein or reasonable standards and practices as may be
modified or supplemented by Licensor from time to time in writing to Licensee,
and such noncompliance is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice by
Licensor to Licensee of such noncompliance (provided that if the nature of such
noncompliance is curable but that the same cannot with due diligence be cured
within ten (10) days. Licensee shall not be deemed to be subject to termination,
if it shall within such ten (10) day period commence curing and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion;
(iv) In general, if Licensee shall make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or be adjudged
insolvent or shall admit in writing its inability to meet its obligations as
they mature, or if a permanent receiver of all or any portion of Licensee's
property shall be appointed in any judicial proceeding, or there shall be
entered against it an order adjudicating it a bankrupt or insolvent or an order
appointing a liquidator, receiver or trustee for it or all or substantially all
of its assets or approving as properly filed against it a petition seeking
reorganization, arrangement or other proceeding under any bankruptcy or other
law for the relief or debtors, which order shall continue unstayed and in effect
for, or which proceeding shall not be terminated and Licensee released from such
proceeding within thirty (30) days, or if Licensee shall attempt to assign or
encumber this Agreement or permit any other person, firm or corporation to
conduct the business or Services provided for hereunder;
(v) At the Hotels, if any statute, ordinance, rule or
regulation hereafter promulgated by any legislative body or agency having
jurisdiction over the Licensee shall prohibit the operation of the Licensed Area
by Licensee as provided for herein, provided that Licensee shall first be given
a reasonable opportunity to modify its operation of the Licensed Area so as to
comply with any such statute, ordinance, rule, or regulation; or,
(vi) At the Hotels, in the event that: (1) The premises upon
which the Licensed Area is located should be sold; (2) Licensor should assign
its rights to the site to a third party, or (3) Licensor proposes, or is
required for any reason to structurally renovate or demolish the Hotel or a
substantial portion thereof which includes all or a portion of the Licensed

(180) days prior written notice to Licensee, to terminate this Agreement. In
such event Licensor shall reimburse Licensee's unamortized installation expense
calculated at an initial expense of $185.00 per installed room (guest or
meeting), such amortizaiton shall be "straight line" method using the Initial
Term as the period of full amortization.
13
(vi) In general, if during the Term or Extended Term or this
Agreement, Licensor reasonably expects to be at a competitive disadvantage

substantially similar to the Service that is faster, more reliable, has easier
end-user connectivity, and is less expensive than Licensee's system. If such
failure is curable by upgrading all or a portion of the Equipment, then
Licensee shall have not more than one hundred twenty days (120) to perform such
work at the Hotels and demonstrate to Licensor's reasonable satisfaction, and on
terms acceptable to Licensor, that the system is technologically equivalent and
reasonably competitive.
b. At the Hotels, this Agreement shall be subject to termination
by Licensee upon the occurrence of a violation or breach of any of the material
terms, conditions or covenants hereof by Licensor and shall not remedy such
violation or breach within thirty (30) days after written notice by Licensee of
such violation.

terminable on thirty (30) days notice given at any time by either party. All
provisions of this License except those pertaining to the term of this License
shall apply to the month-to-month holdover.

Licensee terminating this License, Licensee shall pay to Licensor fees at double
the rate as defined in Paragraph 4 hereof, for the time Licensee thus remains in
