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

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 ***, 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

be subject to Section 4.2 with respect to certain Hotels with Existing OCC
Agreements.
2.3 ***
2.4 ***
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

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.

soon as practicable after the Effective Date, but in any event not later than
***.
(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

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 ***
4.5 ***
4.6 ***

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. *** Marriott

Hotel to verify its accuracy.
8.6 OCC REVENUE SHARE REMITTANCE. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the end of

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) ***
(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.
9
8.9 ***
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.
(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.
10
(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. ***

(c) ***
11
(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. *** In
the event 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) ***
(f) ***
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) ***
(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. ***
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. Transmission of major broadcast networks at the Hotel may be
subject to pricing restrictions and copyright fee payments under applicable
federal law on a pass through basis at cost only. If such pricing is assessed
directly against OCC, *** to be paid by the relevant Hotel in accordance with
Sections 8.6 and 8.8.
12
9.6 HOTEL GUEST SERVICES. At such time as the Hotel PMS becomes compatible with

party shall be entitled to take no more than five depositions upon oral
examination, which in the aggregate shall take no more than five business days,
and (4) there shall be no requests to admit. The arbitrator shall schedule the
arbitration to be completed no later than six months after initiation of the
proceeding, and the parties shall use good faith efforts to comply with this
schedule.
(a) The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall
specify reasons for the decision. Judgment upon the arbitral award may be
confirmed by any court having jurisdiction over the party against which
enforcement is sought.
(b) The arbitrator shall have no power to award punitive damages even
if permitted to do so under applicable law.
26
(c) Any party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent
any breach or threatened breach of another party's obligations which would cause
irreparable harm, or to preserve the jurisdiction of the arbitrator.
22.4 ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
(a) Except as specifically provided in this Section, neither party may
assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
written consent of the other party, not to be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Marriott may assign this Agreement without the consent of OCC (i)
to any corporate affiliate of Marriott provided Marriott remains liable
hereunder, (ii) upon a merger or consolidation involving Marriott, a sale of all
or a major part of Marriott's assets, or a sale of all or a major part of the
assets of a line of business in which the Services are used (including the sale
of a Covered Brand). Upon an assignment under clause (ii) above, the assignee
shall assume in writing the obligations under this Agreement, in which event
Marriott shall be released from further liability hereunder except for
liabilities accrued prior to assignment.
(c) OCC shall be deemed to have assigned this Agreement with Marriott's
consent to an entity if such entity acquires ownership or effective control of
OCC, provided, however, that such an assignment shall require Marriott's consent
if such an entity is a direct competitor of Marriott; if Marriott refuses such
consent and OCC nonetheless desires to so assign this Agreement, Marriott's sole
and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement without further
liability hereunder except for satisfaction of payment obligations incurred
prior to termination.
(d) In the event that any Hotel is sold to a new owner or is no longer
managed by Marriott, the rights, obligations, terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and a permitted assignment of
this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred; provided, however,
notwithstanding any such deemed assignment, Marriott shall not be released from
and shall retain responsibility for any obligations or payments due to OCC which
were incurred or arose prior to the effective date of any such sale or change in
management company. The provisions of Section 4.6 (Departing Hotels) shall
govern assignments under the preceding sentence.
22.5 MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement may not be modified or amended
except by a written non-electronic agreement signed by OCC and Marriott with a
non-electronic signature, and each party is hereby put on notice that any
representative of a party purporting to otherwise modify or amend this Agreement
shall not have the authority to do so.
22.6 WAIVERS. No waivers by either party of any breach or default hereunder
shall be construed as a waiver of any precedent or subsequent breach or default.
The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or
in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the party
entitled to enforce such term, but any such waiver shall be effective only if in
writing signed by the party against which such waiver is to be asserted and only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Except as
27
otherwise provided herein, no failure or delay of any party in exercising any
power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
22.7 SEVERABILITY. If a provision of this Agreement is deemed prohibited by
applicable law, such prohibition shall not invalidate the remaining provisions
of this Agreement.
22.8 U.S. DOLLARS. All references to "dollars' or the "$" sign refer to U.S.
currency.
22.9 RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
create a relationship of joint venture, partnership, associates, principal and
agent or joint owners in any manner with respect to the Hotel, and nothing in
this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, franchise, agency or any
similar relationship and neither party shall hold itself out to the contrary.
22.10 COOPERATION. Each party hereto agrees to cooperate with the other party
hereto to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition,
Marriott agrees to cooperate with and hereby grant permission to OCC to sign on
their behalf any relevant documents (e.g. U.C.C.-Secured Transaction Form) for
the purpose of protecting OCC's interests in its personal property on the
premises of the Hotel.
22.11 LICENSES. Marriott acknowledges that OCC distributes private programming
under licenses from other parties, which parties own copyrights to or have
licenses from the copyright owners of programs distributed pursuant to this
Agreement, and, as a result, the programming signals distributed pursuant to
