                  the nature of the breach or its failure to perform and the
                  manner in which it may be remedied; or

                  party files for its liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
                  composition or dissolution, or if the other Party is unable to
                  pay any kind of debts as they become due, or the creditors of
                  the other Party have taken over its management.

14.3     Notwithstanding Section 14.2, Licensor may immediately terminate this
         Agreement upon a written notice to Licensee:

         (a)      if the monthly royalty as set forth in Section 5.1(b) above
                  for the preceding month is not paid by the end of each month;

         (b)      if the beta service of the Game is not commenced in the

                  caused by Licensor;

         (c)      if the commercial service of the Game is not commenced in the
                  Territory by October 1, 2002 unless such failure has been
                  caused by Licensor; or

         (d)      if the service of the Game in the Territory is stopped,
                  suspended, discontinued or disrupted for more than ten (10)
                  days in total during the term of this Agreement due to causes
                  attributable to Licensee.

14.4     Upon the effective date of such termination, all rights granted to
         Licensee hereunder shall immediately cease and shall revert to
         Licensor, and Licensee shall immediately cease servicing of the Game
         and return to Licensor any and all softwares, Technical Documents and
         other materials or information provided by Licensor to Licensee under

15.1     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no default,
         delay or failure to perform on the part of either Party shall be
         considered a breach of this Agreement if such default, delay or failure
         to perform is shown to be due entirely to causes beyond the reasonable
         control of the Party charged with such default, delay or failure,
         including, without limitation, causes such as strikes, lockouts or
         other labor disputes, riots, civil disturbances, actions or inactions
         of governmental authorities or suppliers, epidemics, war, embargoes,
         severe weather, fire, earthquake, acts of God or the public enemy.

         Party who is not affected from such force majeure event shall have the
         right to terminate this Agreement with a written notice to the other
         Party.
