SERVICE AGREEMENT

THIS SERVICE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of this 21st day of March, 2001 ("Effective Date") between On Command Corporation ("OCC"), a Delaware corporation, with offices at 7900 E. Union Avenue, Denver, CO 80237, and Marriott International, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 10400 Fernwood Road, Bethesda, Maryland, 20817, on behalf of itself and its majority-owned or controlled affiliates ("Marriott"), sets forth the terms for the provision of services to guests of the hotels covered by this Agreement through an OCC supplied system and related materials.

WHEREAS, Marriott operates hotels for the lodging of guests in separate private rooms or suites that are customarily available for overnight sleeping accommodations;

WHEREAS, Marriott desires to offer Guests the opportunity to purchase in-room electronic entertainment and information services using the System;

WHEREAS, Marriott desires to make Services available to Guests;

WHEREAS, OCC desires to furnish the Services at the Hotels using the System; and

WHEREAS, Marriott and OCC desire to grant each other the rights and obligations necessary to implement the System and offer the Services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I. DEFINITIONS

1.1 Interpretation. Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Appendix (beginning on the page after the signature page). Terms other than those defined within this Agreement shall be given their plain English meaning, and those terms known in the information technology industry shall be interpreted in accordance with their generally known meanings. Unless the context otherwise requires, words importing the singular include the plural and vice-versa. The word "including" and its derivatives shall mean "including but not limited to."

ARTICLE II. TERM

2.1 Agreement Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement, on the latest Hotel Termination Date (as the same may be renewed from time to time in accordance herewith, the "Agreement Term").

2.2 Hotel Term. With respect to a Hotel, this Agreement shall have a term of seven (7) years, which term shall commence on the date on which Marriott and OCC agree that the System has been installed and is fully functional ("Hotel Commencement Date") and shall expire, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement, seven (7) calendar years thereafter ("Hotel Termination Date") (as the same may be renewed from time to time in accordance herewith, the "Hotel Term"). This Section shall be subject to Section 4.2 with respect to certain Hotels with Existing OCC Agreements.

2.3 Renewal. Upon the seventh (7th) annual anniversary of the Hotel Commencement Date with regard to that Hotel the term will automatically renew for a 12-month period ("Renewal Term"), subject to the right of Marriott to terminate without renewal upon giving written notice to OCC not less than sixty (60) days prior to the relevant Hotel Termination Date and the right of OCC to terminate without renewal upon giving written notice to Marriott not less than six (6) months prior to the relevant Hotel Termination Date. The date for termination specified in the notice shall be the last day of the month in which the relevant Hotel Termination Date falls. During a Renewal Term, Hotel may terminate the Agreement at any time upon giving sixty (60) days prior written notice to OCC, and OCC may terminate the Agreement at any time upon giving six (6) months prior written notice to Hotel.

2.4 Termination by Hotel Before End of Term.. Except as provided in Section 20.2 (OCC Default), a Hotel shall have the right to terminate its Hotel Term prior to the expiration thereof only after year five of the applicable Hotel Term, by providing OCC with ninety days prior written notice and paying to OCC the Termination Charge described in Section 20.3 and Exhibit G.

2.5 Preexisting Competitive Commitments. If the Hotel is party to or covered by an existing agreement with a provider of any Competing Service ("Preexisting Competitive Commitments"), at the date of this Agreement, OCC shall not begin installing the System until the earlier to occur of (i) such time as all of the Hotel's Preexisting Competitive Commitments expire or are terminated or (ii) Marriott determines, in its sole discretion, that the System can be installed and the Services provided notwithstanding the existence of any such Preexisting Competitive Commitment (provided, however, that if pursuant to this clause (ii), Marriott requests that the System be installed in a Hotel prior to removal of the system covered by the Pre-existing Competitive Commitment, installation of the System shall be subject to OCC's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld). Marriott agrees to cause any Hotel to terminate and not renew each Preexisting Competitive Commitment as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances without causing a breach thereunder or incurring any liability thereunder.

ARTICLE III. PILOT

---

 

3.2 Acceptance.

(a) The installation of the System at the Pilot Hotels shall be completed as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, but in any event not later than March 1, 2001. A 30-day trial of the System in the Pilot Hotels shall be completed not later than March 31, 2001.

(b) By no later than *** following the completion of the trial, Marriott shall notify OCC in writing if Marriott has accepted the System or if the System has not performed to its satisfaction. If in such notice Marriott states that it has accepted the System, OCC shall, within *** of receipt of such notice, commence installation of the System (as accepted by Marriott) pursuant to the installation provisions of this Agreement.

(c) If in such notice Marriott states that the System did not perform to its satisfaction, then Marriott shall, within *** of such notice, identify the deficiencies to OCC in writing and OCC shall have an additional *** after receipt of such notice to correct all such identified deficiencies. If at the end of such *** correction period such corrections are not fully effected in Marriott's reasonable discretion, then Marriott shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with no further liability or obligation hereunder by providing written notice of termination within ten (10) days following completion of such *** correction period, and OCC shall remove the System from the Pilot Hotels pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.3. If Marriott accepts the System following the cure, it shall so notify OCC in writing within *** following completion of such *** correction period, and OCC shall install the System (as modified following the cure) pursuant to the installation provisions of this Agreement.

(d) The date on which Marriott accepts the System in writing following the trial shall be the "Acceptance Date."

ARTICLE IV. APPLICABILITY TO HOTELS

4.1 Scope. This Agreement applies to all Hotels, subject to Section 2.4 regarding Hotels with Pre-Existing Competitive Commitments.

4.2 Hotels with Existing OCC Agreements.

(a) The parties acknowledge that there are Hotels that have entered into agreements with OCC for delivery of in-room entertainment services (e.g., pay-per-view, cable programming, and the like) prior to having the System installed under this Agreement ("Existing OCC Agreements"). Once such a Hotel installs the System under this Agreement, then as of the Hotel Commencement Date for such Hotel, the Existing OCC Agreement shall be automatically terminated with no liability therefor to the Hotel, OCC, or Marriott, and such Hotel shall be deemed covered by this Agreement.

(b) The parties acknowledge that as part of Marriott's business, non-Marriott hotels will be converted into hotels that are operated by Marriott under a Covered Brand ("Converted Marriott Hotels"). If a Converted Marriott Hotel entered into an Existing OCC Agreement prior to its conversion, then the Hotel Term for such Converted Marriott Hotel shall be deemed to have commenced on such Converted Marriott Hotel's original term commencement date under the Existing OCC Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if OCC installs the System in such

5

---

 

Converted Marriott Hotel under this Agreement, then the Hotel Term Commencement Date for such Converted Marriott Hotel shall be as provided in Article II. In addition, if less than 24 months have elapsed in such Converted Marriott Hotel's original term under the Existing OCC Agreement, then the Hotel Term Commencement Date for such Converted Marriott Hotel shall be as provided in Article II.

4.3 Adding Covered Brands. In the event that Marriott acquires or develops a new lodging brand after the Effective Date or decides to add an existing brand not then covered by this Agreement, it may add such new brand as a Covered Brand with OCC's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Relevant factors to be considered in determining whether a new brand should be added as a Covered Brand, include the extent to which the new brand is comparable to a then-existing Covered Brand in terms of the target customer segment, average hotel size, and services to be provided. If a new brand is added as a Covered Brand, it shall be treated under this Agreement in the same manner as the most comparable then-existing Covered Brand based on the foregoing factors.

4.4 Franchised Hotels. The Services shall be made available to hotels franchised by Marriott under the Covered Brands ("Marriott Franchised Hotels") on the same terms and conditions as they are made available to the Hotels. Marriott shall use reasonable efforts to encourage Marriott Franchised Hotels to use the Services, it being understood that Marriott can make no commitments regarding, and has no control over, whether Marriott Franchised Hotels will elect to receive the Services.

4.5 ***

4.6 Departing Hotels. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Hotel should cease to be managed by Marriott, Marriott will use reasonable efforts to assign to the new hotel owner or manager the terms and obligations of this Agreement as pertaining to such Hotel. Such reasonable efforts shall include providing reasonable cooperation to OCC in the efforts OCC may desire to make to obtain the agreement of the new hotel owner or manager to accept such assignment. In the event that such attempted assignment is not completed despite such exercise of reasonable efforts, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated without termination liability to Marriott.

ARTICLE V. INSTALLATION

5.1 Installation Schedule. On the first day of the month following the Acceptance Date, but no earlier than ***, OCC shall install the System, on the following minimum Room schedule, at the Hotels in accordance with the priority order designated by Marriott with the consent of OCC (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld):

---

 

Unless otherwise agreed by Marriott, for purposes of the foregoing monthly Room installation requirement, OCC will not be deemed to have installed any of the Rooms in a Hotel unless it has installed the System in all Rooms in such Hotel.

5.2 Initial Priority Designation. As of the Effective Date, Marriott has designated, with OCC's consent, the initial priority order of Hotels for System installation as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (provided that Marriott has accepted the System under Article 3). Marriott shall advise OCC of future installation priorities reasonably in advance so that OCC can meet the installation schedule set forth in Section 5.1.

5.3 Installation Preference. *** Without limiting OCC's obligations under the foregoing and under Section 5.1: For the first *** following the Acceptance Date, in no event will the Hotels comprise less than *** of the rooms in which the System (or any system substantially similar thereto, i.e., a system based on the platform known as OCX, the Generation III Platform, or any similar or later-developed platform) is being installed by OCC in any month. Thereafter, the *** requirement regarding installations shall continue to apply if OCC has not met its obligations under Section 5.1, until *** Rooms have been installed.

5.4 Additional Installation Provisions.

     (a) The Hotel shall provide such access as OCC reasonably may request to enable OCC to complete the installation of the System and shall provide all Hotel Facilities in reasonable time to allow OCC to complete installation. OCC shall test the System to ensure functionality and adherence to the terms of this Agreement both during and immediately following installation. The Hotel shall provide OCC a secure storage location for its equipment during the installation process.

     (b) *** These costs shall include but shall not be limited to purchasing, installing, and maintaining the System, all cables required by the System or used to connect the System to other Hotel systems such as the property management computer, providing telecommunications connections for high-speed Internet access through the System, and any necessary interfaces with the STSN Internet Access System.

     (c) All equipment installed, provided, or modified by OCC, its agents, or subcontractors shall be listed by the Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. ("UL") or shall be built to their standards.

     (d) OCC agrees that the equipment installed and/or the connections to the existing TV or antenna, satellite or cable system will not impair in any way the ordinary reception of broadcast programs or other services on the cable system, or the STSN Internet Access System.

     (e) Installation shall be performed in a professional, workmanlike manner, through use of reasonable care, and in accordance with industry standards. OCC agrees to coordinate

7

with each Hotel any installation, repair, maintenance, replacement, or removal so as to minimize the disruption to or inconvenience of the Hotels' guests or employees or the daily Hotel operations and so as to initiate and complete those tasks as expeditiously as possible.

ARTICLE VI. SERVICES; SYSTEM UPGRADES

6.1 Services. OCC will perform the Services as described in this Agreement, including providing the In-Room Electronic Services through the System to the Hotels. If any services, functions, or responsibilities not specifically described or enumerated in this Agreement are necessary for the proper performance of OCC's obligations hereunder, they shall be deemed included within the scope of the Services.

6.2 System Upgrades.

     (a) OCC will upgrade the System, including the software, hardware, and other equipment that are a part thereof***, such that the System installed in each of the Hotels will provide a service to the guest which is consistent in terms of functionality with (i) OCC's latest offerings to other lodging companies, (ii) in-room entertainment technology offered by other service providers to lodging properties, and (iii) improvements in entertainment and television technology in the lodging industry (collectively, "System Upgrades"). Marriott shall have the right to approve System Upgrades prior to installation in Hotels, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In determining whether the System is consistent with (i), (ii), or (iii) above, among the factors to be considered include the extent to which the offerings to which the System is being compared are extant in the lodging industry at hotels which are comparable to then-existing Covered Brands in terms of target customer segment, average hotel size and services to be provided.

          (A) To the extent System Upgrades occur after OCC has installed a System in a Hotel, OCC shall install the System Upgrade in such Hotel as promptly as reasonably practicable ("Retroactive System Upgrade") under an installation schedule and Hotel proposed by Marriott for OCC's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld (such priority and schedule to be subject to the installation preference in Section 5.3). The actual costs for a Retroactive System Upgrade, including the costs of any required changes to the MATV System ***

6.3 Technology Committee. OCC will form a technology committee comprised of OCC's Senior Vice President of Strategic Development and Senior Vice President of Engineering, Marriott's Chief Information Officer or his/her designee, Marriott's Senior Vice President of North American Lodging Operations or his/her designee, and a senior STSN representative. This committee will meet quarterly to discuss technological issues in the lodging industry, and to provide guidance on technology development and potential future System Upgrades.

ARTICLE VII. EXCLUSIVITY

7.1 Hotel Exclusivity; No Competing Services. Provided that Marriott accepts the System as provided in Article 3, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Marriott agrees that OCC will be the sole and exclusive provider of In-Room Electronic Services at each Hotel during the Hotel Term for such Hotel.

7.2 General Exclusivity. Provided that the Marriott accepts the System as provided in Article 3, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Marriott agrees that, for the *** period commencing on the Effective Date, Marriott will not enter into an agreement with any third party to provide a Competing Service for the Hotels. From and after the *** anniversary of the Effective Date, Marriott shall be free to recommend, purchase and/or install any Competing System in any Hotel(s) not then bound by this Agreement, and OCC shall have the right to propose a new agreement to the such Hotel(s) with terms which differ from those set out in this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII. PAY-PER-USAGE SERVICES

8.1 Pay-Per-Usage Services. "Pay-Per-Usage Services" means in-room electronic entertainment and information services that OCC shall make available to Guests for purchase using the System, which services shall include, without limitation, (i) movies, specialized videos (such as workout, health and exercise), special events and short feature programming ("Movies and Events"), (ii) interactive video games ("Games"), (iii) Internet access by TV and/or otherwise as approved by Marriott in advance ("Internet TV") (iv) music programming ("Music") and (v) any other services that OCC and Marriott agree to offer to Guests and for which Guests or other persons at the Hotel are charged a separate fee.

9

          (ii) OCC acknowledges that Marriott intends to present a consistent portal experience to its guests, regardless of the method chosen by the guest to access the portal. Accordingly, OCC shall design and develop the Internet TV Portal such that it has substantially the same design elements and look and feel as the portal for the STSN Internet Access System, including the presentation of advertisements and other shared content. In addition, except with respect to OCC trademarks, Marriott shall have the right to replicate the design elements and look and feel of the Internet TV Portal for use by Marriott in other services and venues, such as in web sites developed or used by Marriott.

          (iii) *** The Internet TV Portal, as approved by Marriott, shall be for Marriott's exclusive use and may not be made available to other hotel companies.

          (iv) The Internet TV Portal shall contain prominent links to Marriott content and services, including the Virtual Personal Concierge and promotional content.

          (v) Marriott may participate in the design and development of the Internet TV Portal. Such participation may consist of providing design and look and feel elements, content, links, features and functions, with OCC's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Use by either Marriott or OCC of third parties to assist in the design and development of the Internet TV Portal shall be subject to mutual agreement. In the event such third parties are used, the costs therefor shall be borne ***.

     (d) Music On Demand. OCC shall provide Guests with in-room music selections which Guests may access on demand using the System, which shall include not fewer than *** compact disk titles by original artists at any time at any Hotel. Guests may customize personal play lists.

     (e) Digital Music Network. OCC shall provide Guests with the ability to listen to any genre of music without searching.

     (g) Advertising Insertion Capability. By ***, OCC shall provide the capability to insert paid advertisements of its choice in the programming provided to Guests. If, after such a paid advertisement has been inserted, Marriott objects to such advertisement, it may so notify OCC in writing and the parties will meet promptly to undertake to resolve Marriott's concerns. *** In no event may inserted paid advertisements contain Inappropriate Content, or promotional or marketing content for Marriott's competitors. As soon as the System becomes capable of transmitting inserted advertisements to selected chains of hotels or to individual hotels, ***.

10

---

 

using the System TV as the user interface), personalization, virtual trade show, and localized convention advertising services, ***.

     (i) Other Services. If, during the Term, OCC wishes to offer additional services to Guests using the System, OCC shall inform Marriott of such desire and OCC and Marriott shall negotiate in good faith to set the terms upon which such services shall be provided to Guests pursuant to this Agreement, such agreed-upon terms to be set forth on an additional exhibit to this Agreement. If OCC and Marriott are unable to reach an agreement on the terms under which the additional services shall be made available to Guests, the parties shall resolve this dispute pursuant to Section 22.3.

8.2 Minimum Delivery Requirement. The System will have the capacity to simultaneously deliver Pay-Per-Usage Services to a minimum of *** of Rooms in each Hotel at any one time. This shall include the capacity to deliver any one Service (such as Video Games, Movies and Events or Internet TV) to each of such rooms.

8.3 Content Approval Rights.

     (a) The parties shall conduct an "Adult Content Link Test" as described in this paragraph. Marriott shall have the right to designate the Hotels to participate in the Adult Content Link Test, provided that it may designate no more than *** Hotels for each Covered Brand, or *** of the Hotels in any particular Covered Brand, whichever is less. For Hotels participating in the Adult Content Link Test, OCC will configure the System so that any Movies and Events receiving an X or NC-17 or similar MPAA rating, or containing equivalent adult content, and any other similar programming or content made available by OCC to Guests through the System, shall be accessible only through a mutually agreed link from the Internet Portal, and shall not be listed, advertised or promoted on the main menu screen or on the Movies and Events menu screen, except as otherwise agreed by the parties. The Adult Content Link Test shall continue for a period of up to *** following commencement thereof. If after the completion of the Adult Content Link Test, the placement of the link to such content has reduced revenues per Room generated by the Pay-Per-Usage Service in any individual Hotel to a level that is more than *** below the average revenues per Room of such Hotel (or similar Hotels, to be identified by the parties during the test) for the 12-month period prior to the test under OCC's prior system, then the link to such content shall be placed in the standard location on the main menu screens of the System. If the placement of the link has not reduced revenues as described above, then the parties will meet to mutually determine, reasonably and in good faith, a plan for implementing the adult content link placement in other Hotels. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if for any six consecutive month period, the revenues of any Hotel in which there is an implemented adult content link, the Pay-for-Usage Service revenues are *** or more below the average revenues from other Hotels in the same brand group in which no adult content link has been implemented (taken as a whole), then the parties will meet to mutually determine, as before, a plan for removing the relevant adult content link.

     (b) ***

     (c) ***

8.4 Pay-Per-Usage Service Fee. *** The initial fees to be charged for each Pay-Per-Usage Service shall be set forth in Exhibit B. Changes to such pricing shall be in accordance with Exhibit B. Based upon the Access Record, Marriott shall cause Hotel personnel to charge and collect from each Guest the Pay-Per-Usage Service Fees incurred by such Guest. On a periodic basis, Marriott shall cause the Hotel to reconcile the Access Record with the System activity reported by the Hotel's property management system ("Hotel PMS") and notify OCC as promptly as practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days) of the Hotel's discovery of any discrepancies in such reconciliation. If for any reason the Hotel PMS is not functioning properly and/or is incapable of automatically posting and reporting the System activity, Marriott agrees that the Access Record shall be conclusive evidence of System usage, absent manifest error on the part of the Monitoring Unit.

8.5 Access Record. The Monitoring Unit will generate an accurate daily record (the "Access Record") of the use of the System by Guests, including a record of the Pay-Per-Usage Service Fees attributable to each Room account. *** shall be responsible for all costs associated with the programming of the Monitoring Unit to enable it to provide the Access Record. Marriott or its designee shall be entitled to inspect and test the Monitoring Unit in any Hotel to verify its accuracy.

8.6 OCC Revenue Share Remittance. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the end of each month (such thirtieth day, the "Due Date"), Marriott shall remit to OCC an amount equal to all of the Adjusted Pay-Per-Usage Service Fees incurred by and collected from the Guests for the prior calendar month (plus or minus taxes as set forth in Exhibit D, as such exhibit may be modified by the agreement of the parties), less the Hotel Revenue Share as designated in Exhibit C (such remaining amount to be paid to OCC, the "OCC Revenue Share").

8.7 Additional Revenue.

     (a) The parties acknowledge that OCC will also be receiving revenues relating to In-Room Electronic Services from third parties (such as revenue from Advertising Insertion and T-Commerce under Section 8.1). Thirty (30) calendar days after the end of any calendar month ("OCC Due Date"), ***.

     (b) The parties acknowledge that a Hotel, prior to the installation of the System, might have already entered into an agreement with a third party for the delivery of cable and broadcast programming services that would otherwise be provided by OCC under this Agreement, and would therefore not be receiving the Cable and Broadcast Programming Services from OCC. ***

8.8 Failure to Remit. If the relevant Hotel fails to remit to OCC the applicable OCC Revenue Share by any Due Date, *** then (i) such unpaid OCC Revenue Share ***, as the case may be, shall bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month calculated daily, until paid, unless such rate exceeds the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, in which event the maximum legal rate shall apply.

8.9 Fee Adjustments. The Hotel may adjust the Pay-Per-Usage Service Fees payable by any Guest (an "Adjustment") in its sole discretion for a dispute concerning Pay-Per Usage Services.

12

---

 

OCC understands and agrees that Marriott shall generally refund the Pay-Per-Usage Services Fees to the Guest in the event the Guest disputes such fee. The parties acknowledge that, for discretionary Adjustments (i.e., for Adjustments not due to a problem with the System) in excess of a certain percentage, OCC may be obligated to pay licensing fees to third party licensors of Rated Movies ("Discretionary Adjustments"). The parties will work together in good faith to mutually determine a reasonable system or process for tracking and reporting Discretionary Adjustments. In the event that Discretionary Adjustments cause OCC to be liable to any third party for license fees for Rated Movies, Marriott shall pay to OCC *** of the aforesaid amounts that OCC is required to therefore pay to its licensor. OCC will, to the extent possible, advise Marriott when, on a cumulative basis, Marriott is approaching the threshold after which OCC will be obligated to pay its licensor for a usage which has been refunded to the guest by Marriott.

8.10 Fee Account. Until the monthly OCC Revenue Share is remitted to OCC, the OCC Revenue Share of the Pay-Per-Usage Service Fees charged to Guests during any such month shall be held in trust for OCC by the Hotels and shall be deemed the property of OCC. ***

8.11 Taxes and Tax Returns. Set forth in Exhibit D is the tax information supplied by OCC applicable to the Pay-Per-Usage Services in the relevant taxing jurisdiction, including tax base, tax rate and exemption policies. OCC represents and warrants that to its knowledge such information is true, correct and complete, and OCC agrees to update this information so as to keep it current through the Agreement Term. Marriott shall cause the Hotel to collect all applicable taxes from Guests based on this information and to keep accurate records of such collections. If, under the laws of the taxing jurisdiction, OCC is responsible for filing returns and paying such taxes to the relevant tax authority, the Hotel shall remit the taxes so collected to OCC at the same time as it remits the OCC Revenue Share. If, under the laws of the taxing jurisdiction, the Hotel is responsible for filing returns and paying such taxes to the relevant tax authority, the Hotel shall file such returns and make such payments in accordance with such laws, and shall provide copies of such returns to OCC. OCC agrees and acknowledges that, notwithstanding the collection and payment obligations of the Hotels set forth in this Section, as between the Hotels, Marriott and OCC, OCC is ultimately responsible for the payment of all taxes (including any and all penalties and interest thereon) applicable to the Pay-Per-Usage Services. OCC shall be solely responsible for filing returns and paying any and all taxes, including without limitation sales, property and/or use taxes, on all System equipment and other property installed at the Hotels by OCC under this Agreement, including repair and maintenance thereto and upgrades thereto.

8.12 Inspections of Books and Records.

     (a) The books and records of the relevant Hotel pertinent to the Services, Adjustments or discrepancies between the Access Record and the Hotel PMS during the Term of this Agreement shall be open to inspection and audit (an "Inspection") by an authorized representative of OCC upon reasonable advance written request to the Hotel and Marriott. OCC shall have the right to inspect and audit such books and records only for the *** preceding years. OCC must bring any claim resulting from such an audit within *** after completion of such audit. OCC's right to inspect and audit such books and records shall not extend beyond *** after the expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to a particular Hotel.

13

---

 

     (b) The books and records of OCC relating to the Services (including related information, data and files and further including information relating to Net Additional Revenue, the allocation thereof to the Hotels during the Agreement Term and the accuracy and results of the Monitoring Units), shall be open to an Inspection by an authorized representative of Marriott or the Hotels upon reasonable advance written request to OCC. Marriott shall have the right to inspect and audit such books and records only for the *** preceding years. Marriott or the Hotel must bring any claim resulting from such an audit within *** after completion of such audit. Marriott's and the Hotels' right to inspect and audit such books and records shall not extend beyond *** after the expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to a particular Hotel.

     (c) Marriott shall cause the relevant Hotel to promptly remit to OCC any fees or other amounts (without interest thereon, unless the Hotel's relevant actions, as applicable, were made in bad faith in which case interest thereon shall be added at a rate equal to that provided for in Section 8.8) that are owed to it as demonstrated by an Inspection. If OCC has been paid, since the immediately preceding Inspection (or if there has not been a previous Inspection, since the Hotel Commencement Date for the relevant Hotel), less than *** of the OCC Revenue Share that OCC should have been paid during such period (as reasonably determined by OCC as a result of such Inspection), the Hotel shall reimburse OCC for the reasonable cost of such Inspection.

     (d) OCC shall promptly remit to the Hotels (or to Marriott, at Marriott's request) any fees or other amounts (without interest thereon, unless OCC's relevant actions were made in bad faith in which case interest thereon shall be added at a rate equal to that provided for in Section 8.8) that are owed to it as demonstrated by an Inspection. If the Hotels (or Marriott, as the case may be) have been paid, since the immediately preceding Inspection (or if there has not been a previous Inspection, since the Hotel Commencement Date for the relevant Hotel), less than ***, OCC shall reimburse Marriott or the Hotels, as applicable, for the reasonable cost of such Inspection.

8.13 Bundled Pricing. Marriott shall have the right, at any time or times during the Agreement Term, to propose "bundled" pricing of one or more of the In-Room Electronic Services, other than feature movies, either separately or together with other services provided by the Hotel (such as local or long-distance telephone services, and/or use of the STSN Internet Access System).

ARTICLE IX. FREE-TO-GUEST SERVICES

9.1 General. "Free-To-Guest Services" means in-room electronic entertainment and information services that OCC shall make available free of charge to Guests using the System, which services shall include the following:

     (a) The Cable and Broadcast Programming Services; and

     (b) The Hotel Guest Services,

and such other electronic displays or services that OCC may add from time to time with Marriott's prior written consent.

9.2 Cable Programming Services. OCC shall provide Cable Programming Services to the Hotels as provided in Exhibits E-1 and E-2, which may be modified as provided herein. Exhibit E-1 sets forth the "Basic Cable Channel Lineup" for each Covered Brand. Exhibit E-2 sets forth the "Optional Expanded Cable Lineup" for all Covered Brands (collectively, the "Cable Lineups").

     (a) Each Hotel may elect to receive the Basic Cable Channel Lineup or the Optional Expanded Channel Lineup. As of the Effective Date, OCC's total direct third party costs (amounts actually paid to appropriate third parties for the right to distribute the applicable cable programming) ("Direct Programming Costs") are listed for each of the Cable Lineups in Exhibits E-1 and E-2, on a per-available-room basis.

     (c) The parties acknowledge that a Hotel, prior to the installation of the System, might have already entered into an agreement with a third party for the delivery of cable programming services that would otherwise be provided by OCC under this Agreement, and would therefore not be receiving the Cable Programming Services from OCC. In such event, ***. ***. This paragraph shall only apply for the duration of the agreement with the third party for cable programming services, which the Hotel will seek to terminate (or not renew) as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances without causing a breach thereunder or incurring any liability thereunder.

     (d) Marriott shall have the right on a Hotel-by-Hotel basis to substitute one or more cable channels that are commercially available in the Hotel's area for the same number of cable channels in the Cable Lineups. Such substitution *** without such substitutions. In the event

15

---

 

that the total Direct Programming Costs are higher with such substitutions, OCC shall so inform the Hotel, which, if it elects to proceed with the substitutions, shall pay the difference in Direct Programming Costs to OCC. It is understood that having certain channels present in all Hotels could, among other things, increase revenue opportunities for the System. Accordingly, the substitution right described in this paragraph shall not apply to the channels identified as "Protected Channels" in Exhibits E-1 and E-1. In addition, OCC may propose changes to the Protected Channels for Marriott's review and approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.

     (e) The Hotel Payments set forth on Exhibits E-1 and E-2 shall be fixed for a period of *** from the Hotel Commencement Date for all Hotels installed during the *** period following the Effective Date.

In no event may OCC replace the following channels: ***. After the expiration of that *** period, the Hotel Payments for the Cable Lineups may be increased ***, such increase not to exceed *** over the amount paid by the Hotel in the preceding twelve months. To the extent such increase exceeds *** over the preceding 12 months, the Hotels shall have the option to (i) substitute channels on Exhibit E-1 so that the aggregate cost does not exceed a *** increase, or (ii) adjust the revenue sharing under Exhibit C so that OCC recovers the amount of any such increase to the extent it exceeds ***. Marriott shall have the right to audit the Direct Programming Costs associated with any such increases.

     (f) If OCC fails to provide Free-To-Guest Services to a Hotel for at least *** consecutive hours after the Hotel notifies OCC of a System failure such that the Free-To-Guest Services are not adequately received or able to be distributed by a Hotel, then the Hotel shall not be required to make the pro rated Hotel Payments applicable to the days during which the Free-To-Guest Services were not provided.

9.3 Broadcast Programming Services.

     (a) The Broadcast Programming Services include providing to each Hotel the programming from the major broadcast networks identified in Exhibit E-3 (the "Broadcast Lineup").

     (b) If, at the time OCC installs the System, a Hotel receives the major broadcast networks utilizing a local, off-air antenna, OCC shall adapt the System, at Marriott's request and at no cost to the Hotel, to enable the Hotel to continue receiving such Major Broadcast Networks using the Hotel's antenna.

9.4 Additional Cable or Broadcast Programming.

     (a) At any time during the Term, Marriott and or the Hotel, with OCC's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, may elect to add additional channels of programming to the Cable and Broadcast Programming Services beyond the total channels identified in this Agreement in the Cable Lineups and the Broadcast Lineups (as of the Effective Date, *** channels).

determined pursuant to Section 9.2. For additions to the Broadcast Lineup, any ongoing charge shall be equal to OCC's Direct Programming Costs, if any, for such additions.

     (b) OCC shall notify the Hotel if a request for additional channels under the prior paragraph would prevent OCC from meeting the minimum delivery requirement described in Section 8.2. In such event, the Hotel must elect one of the following two options: (i) withdraw its request for additional channels; or (ii) agree to pay for any upgrade to the MATV System that would be required to support the additional channels in a manner that would not prevent OCC from meeting its minimum delivery requirement in Section 8.2.

9.5 Cable Permits, Licenses and Approvals. OCC's delivery of Cable and Broadcast Programming Services is subject to OCC's ability to obtain all necessary local permits and licenses, a clear signal and receipt of any necessary approvals from any supplier of such Cable and Broadcast Programming Service. OCC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and keep in effect all such permits, licenses and approvals. If the quality of the signal offering such Service is disrupted, interfered with or otherwise affected by sources beyond the control of OCC the cost to restore non-interrupted Cable and Broadcast Programming Service, to the extent technologically possible, shall be the responsibility of relevant Hotel.

Neither party will be deemed to have breached, or be in default of, this Agreement to the extent that the performance of its obligations or attempts to cure any breach or default are delayed or prevented by reason of Force Majeure; provided, however, this Section shall not prevent OCC from terminating any Service or removing the System until Marriott or the relevant Hotel has cured any breach or default, or come into compliance with its obligations, under this Agreement.

20.5 Infringement Indemnity.

     (a) Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party and its officers, directors, employees and affiliates from any and all losses, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and settlement costs) relating to, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any violation or infringement by any indemnifying party or its officers directors, employees or affiliates of any intellectual property rights of any third party (including patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret rights).

All regulations or laws pertaining to censorship, importation, public performance, distribution or display of text, images, video, sound, music, motion pictures, photographs, and other content via the Services (except for content specifically provided by Marriott) as an in-hotel service or in general shall be complied with by OCC, and OCC shall be solely responsible on a continuing basis to secure at OCC's expense any and all permits and approvals respecting such content, copyrights, distribution rights, music rights, releases, and any other approvals as may be necessary for the purposes of this Agreement. OCC agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Marriott, Hotel owners, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, from and against any and all losses, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and settlement costs) relating to, resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any failure of OCC to comply with the foregoing.
