What is the purpose of the Technology Services Fee for Atwell Suites?

ction or the Hotel will be subject to fees covering the cost of such hardware (i.e., Managed Router, NIDS, etc.).

For Guest Internet Access ("GIA") Hardware (IHG Connect), a Hotel will be required to install approved Wi-Fi related equipment, use an approved certified approved integrator ("Integrator") provider to install the equipment and enter into a participation agreement with an approved Integrator (see the form agreement attached as Exhibit H-6 to this disclosure document and Item 8). Monthly service fees will include a base per-suite fee for guest support and a variable fee for meeting room support based on the number of meeting rooms and the amount of meeting space that exceeds 2,000 square feet. Additional installation and maintenance costs may also be incurred for wireless access points if a meeting space has a capacity in excess of 100. Hotels with existing contracts with hardware providers must allow such contracts to expire or terminate by their own terms and not allow them to renew, by giving appropriate notice as soon as the terms of those contracts permit. If the contract term will extend more than one year after the effective date of the respective Standard, and the Hotel has a right to terminate for convenience (without cause) and without payment of any fees, then the Hotel must exercise that right so that the contract terminates within that year. Hotels will need to renew software licensing for Wi-Fi hardware within five years of the original purchase claim date, on a specified date and then every five years thereafter.

If serviceability is a factor for any hotels the Out-of-Footprint Pricing will require approval from Licensee prior to proceeding with an order and special non-negotiated pricing may be needed to service the Hotel.

Software license renewal costs vary greatly and could range from $3,000 to $200,000. These costs are dependent on whether the existing equipment claimed at the location remains active at the time of renewal.

Hotels will be required to purchase new hardware equipment (i.e., MXs, Switch and APS) and any other auxiliary equipment) generally at the of the eighth year from the original purchased claim date. All equipment which has reached their end-of-life are required to be replaced immediately. Hardware refresh costs vary greatly and could range from $110 to $96,000. These costs are dependent on whether the existing equipment claimed at the location remains active at the time of the refresh.

Your Hotel will be required to install approved TV sets and/or Set Top Boxes ("STBs") that are compatible with the Standards, use an Integrator to install the equipment, connect guest room TVs to the data port behind the TV that connects to a switch using an ethernet cable, and must enter into an agreement with one of them. Monthly service fees will include a base per-room fee for guest support. Hotels with existing contracts with In-Room Entertainment providers must allow such contracts to expire or terminate by their own terms and not allow them to renew, by giving appropriate notice as soon as the terms of those contracts permit. If the contract term will extend more than one year after the effective date of the Standards, and the Hotel has a right to terminate for convenience (without cause) and

without payment of any fees, then the Hotel must exercise that right so that the contract terminates within that year.
