terms, and (ii) shall include the maintenance of Equipment and NEW BRE Units at
the same level of performance demonstrated at the time a certificate of
acceptance is issued.

event or condition, and what action RoomSystems and/or RSi BRE has taken, is
taking and proposes to take with respect thereto.
-13-
(c) Corporate Existence, etc. Except as permitted under Section
7.2(a) hereof, each of RSi, RIC and RSi BRE will at all times preserve and keep

(d) Payment of Taxes and Claims; Tax Consolidation. RoomSystems will
pay all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it or any
of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses,
franchises or subsidiaries before any penalty accrues thereon, and all claims
(including, without limitation, claims for labor, services, materials and
supplies) for such that have become due and payable and that by law have or may
become a lien upon any of its properties or assets prior to the time when any
penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided, that no such
charge or claim need be paid if being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted and if such reserve or
other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles shall have been made therefor.
(e) Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. RoomSystems will maintain
or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary

Agreement) and from time to time will make or cause to be made all appropriate
repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. RoomSystems will maintain or cause
to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with
respect to its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds

established reputation engaged in similar businesses, including, without
limitation, the insurance policies required under each Revenue Sharing Contract
and New BRE Revenue Sharing Contract with respect to the Equipment and New BRE
Unit, as applicable.
(f) Inspection. RoomSystems shall permit, in coordination with the
applicable Hotel, any authorized representatives designated by RSG to visit and

times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested.
(g) Compliance with Laws, etc. RoomSystems and RSi BRE shall comply
with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules and regulations of any
governmental or regulatory authority, noncompliance with which in any individual
case or in the aggregate would have, or would reasonably be expected to cause, a
Material Adverse Effect.
(h) Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time, upon the
request of RSG, RoomSystems and RSi BRE shall execute and deliver such further
documents and do such other acts and things as RSG may reasonably request in
order to effect fully the purposes of this Agreement.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, RSG shall

immediately due and payable. In respect of the foregoing, the amount due and
payable from all
-17-
unpaid future Payment allocations to RSG from the Revenue Sharing Contracts and
new BRE Revenue Sharing Contracts as set forth in the Payment Allocation
schedule shall be based on the discounted present value of such unpaid
allocations, assuming for the purpose of such calculation: (i) each Unit
produces revenue of $0.716 per day, (ii) a discount rate of eight percent (8%)
per annum, (iii) a term equal to the remaining term of the Revenue Sharing
Contract and New BRE Revenue Sharing Contract related to each Unit, and (iv) a
residual value for each Unit of $300.00.
(b) Assignment and Transfer of Revenue Sharing Contracts. All of RSi
BRE's right, title and interest in, to and under the Revenue Sharing Contracts
and New BRE Revenue Sharing Contracts shall be automatically and irrevocably
assigned, transferred and delivered to RSG, without any action required on the
part of RSG, RoomSystems or RSi BRE. Such assignment and transfer shall not
operate to terminate any of RoomSystems' and/or RSi BRE's servicing and
maintenance obligations under the Maintenance Agreements applicable to such
Revenue Sharing Contracts and New BRE Revenue Sharing Contracts, and such
obligations shall survive the irrevocable assignment and transfer of such
contracts to RSG.
(c) Additional Remedies. In addition to the remedies set forth in
the foregoing Sections 8.2(a) and 8.2(b), upon an Event of Default, RSG may, at
its sole option, without demand and upon such notice as may be required by law,
and irrespective of negative consequences to RoomSystems, RSi BRE or any other
party, do any one or more of the following: (i) require RoomSystems and RSi BRE
to assemble the Collateral and make it available to RSG at a place designated by
RSG; (ii) immediately take possession of the Collateral wherever it may be found
using all necessary and lawful actions to do so, and each of RoomSystems and RSi
BRE waives all claims to damages due to or arising from or connected with any
such taking; (iii) proceed in the foreclosure set forth in the Security
Agreement and sell all the Collateral in any manner permitted by law or provided
for therein; (iv) sell the Collateral at public or private sale with or without
having said Collateral at the place of sale and upon terms and in such manner as
RSG may determine, with RoomSystems and RSi BRE agreeing that if notice of such
a sale is required by law, a ten (10) day notice period shall be commercially
reasonable unless a shorter time period is permitted by law; (v) take possession
of RoomSystem's premises in order to (A) continue servicing and maintaining the
Equipment and New BRE Units covered by any Revenue Sharing Contract or New BRE
Revenue Sharing Contract pursuant to the applicable Maintenance Agreement, (B)
repair and recondition such Equipment and New BRE Units, as necessary, using the
facilities and other property of RoomSystems, (C) store any of the Collateral
subject to RSG's security interest, and (D) conduct any sale as provided for in
the Security Agreement, all without compensation to RoomSystems or RSi BRE and
any sums expended therefor by RSG, for which no consideration is received, shall
be repaid by RoomSystems and RSi BRE as part of the Secured Obligations under
this Agreement; (vi) sell, in one or more sales, at public or private sale, for
such price as it may deem fair, any or all of the Collateral; (vii) be the
purchaser of any of the Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its
own right, absolutely free from any claims or rights of RoomSystems or RSi BRE;
(viii) exercise any other right under the Related Agreements.
(d) Application of Proceeds; etc. The net proceeds of any sale as
hereinbefore described shall be applied against the amount owed on the Secured
Obligations in such order as RSG may elect. RoomSystems and RSi BRE shall
promptly pay to RSG any
-18-
deficiency upon demand. Demand of performance, advertisement and presence of
property at sale, and all other demands and presentments of any kind or nature
are expressly waived by RoomSystems and RSi BRE. In addition, each of
RoomSystems and RSi BRE hereby (i) waives any right to require RSG to proceed
against any Collateral, (ii) waives the right to require RSG to pursue any other
remedy for the benefit of RoomSystems or RSi BRE and (iii) agrees that RSG may
proceeds against RoomSystems and/or RSi BRE for the amount of the obligations
owed by RoomSystems and RSi BRE to RSG hereunder without taking any action
against any other party and without selling or otherwise proceeding against or
applying any Collateral.
(e) Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of RSG hereunder
and under the Security Documents are cumulative and may be exercised singly or
concurrently and the exercise of any one or more of them shall not constitute a
waiver of any other right or remedy. No act, delay, omission or course of
dealing between RoomSystems/Rsi BRE and RSG will constitute a waiver of any of
RSG's rights or remedies under this Agreement or otherwise. No waiver by RSG of
any right, remedy or event of default with respect to any of the obligations of
RoomSystems or RSi BRE hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other right,
remedy, or event of default on a future occasion. No waiver, change,
modification or discharge of any of RSG's rights, or the duties of RoomSystems
or RSi BRE as so specified or allowed, will be effective unless contained in a
written instrument signed by RSG.

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
10.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment.
This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) and the other documents
delivered pursuant hereto and referenced herein constitute the full and entire
understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersede, merge, and replace, all prior negotiations, offers,
promises, representations, warranties, agreements and writing with respect to
such subject matter, both written and oral. Except as expressly provided herein,
neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or
terminated, except by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto.
10.2 Assignments.
Neither RoomSystems nor RSi BRE shall assign its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of RSG. RSG may assign
any or all of its rights, title, interests or duties, in whole or in part,
hereunder without the prior written consent of RoomSystems or RSi BRE. RSG shall
notify RoomSystems of any such assignment within thirty (30) days of such
assignment taking effect. RoomSystems and RSi BRE shall provide any consents
necessary to effect any assignment of this Agreement.
-20-
10.3 Indemnity.
RSi, RIC and RSi BRE, jointly and severally, agree to defend, indemnify,
pay and hold harmless RSG and the officers, members, managers, employees,
counsel, agents and affiliates of RSG (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, payments, costs or
expenses (including, without limitation the costs and expenses of any Action (as
defined in the Master Agreement), any demand, assessment, judgment, settlement
or compromise related thereto and reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and
other charges in connection therewith) (collectively, "Losses"), whether based
on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulation, on common
law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to,
arising out of or resulting from this Agreement, the Related Agreements, the
Secured Obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
(collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however, that
RoomSystems and RSi BRE shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee
hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such
Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
that Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to defend, indemnify, pay and
hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because
it is violative of any law or public policy, RoomSystems and RSi BRE shall
contribute the maximum that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.
10.4 Waiver.
Any party may waive the performance of any obligation owed to it by any
other party or parties hereunder or for the satisfaction of any condition
precedent to the waiving party's duty to perform any of its covenants, including
its obligations to close. Any such waiver shall be valid only if contained in a
writing signed by the party to be charged.
10.5 Independent Covenants.
All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a
particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the
fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within
the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event
of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
10.6 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument. Any counterpart may be delivered by facsimile; provided,
however, that attachment thereof shall constitute the representation and
warranty of the person delivering such signature that such person has full power
and authority to attach such signature and to deliver this Agreement. Any
facsimile signature shall be replaced with an original signature as promptly as
practicable.
-21-
10.7 Severability.
If any term or condition of this Agreement shall be held invalid in any
respect, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of any other term or
condition hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that they would have executed
this Agreement with any such invalid term or condition excluded.
10.8 Governing Law; Attorneys' Fees.
(a) Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement and the Related
Agreements shall be governed by, construed, interpreted and applied in

(ii) that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, (iii) that it is
immune from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, (iv) that

which such prevailing party may be entitled.
10.9 Independent Contractor.
In connection with any actions that RoomSystems or RSi BRE may take under
this Agreement in connection with any Equipment or New BRE Units, and their
related Revenue Sharing Contracts, New BRE Revenue Sharing Contracts and
Maintenance Agreements, as applicable, RoomSystems and RSi BRE are, and shall
