(ii) the existing master material of the Program/s is unsuitable for the making of a videotape copy.

13.3 If Licensor is in default or delay or does not adequately perform its contractual obligations due, Licensee shall not be entitled to claim for damages in lieu of performance or to terminate this Agreement unless Licensee first furnishes Licensor with a written notice specifying an adequate time period (not less than 15 calendar days) until the end of which the default shall be healed and
stating that Licensee will refuse acceptance of the performance upon fruitless expiry of the time period. If the time period expires without the default being healed, Licensee is no longer entitled to demand performance.
