Exhibit 10.25 CAIS IPORT(TM) INTEGRATOR LICENSE AGREEMENT (North America, Hotels Only) (Nonexclusive) This Agreement (the "Agreement") is effective as of Sept 10, 1998, between --------- ------------- ATCOM, INC., a California Corporation, d/b/a ATCOM/INFO ("ATCOM") and ----- CAIS Inc., a VIRGINIA Corporation ("Licensee"). ------------------- -------- In consideration for the following mutual agreements, the parties agree as follows: 1. "Software" means ATCOM's proprietary IPORT(TM) server software program as -------- described in Exhibit A, all in object code form, and any related materials, in --------- machine readable and/or printed form, furnished to Licensee by or on behalf of ATCOM. 2. IPORT(TM) License Grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, ATCOM hereby ----------------------- grants to Licensee, and Licensee accepts and agrees to purchase, a non- transferable, nonexclusive right to use such number of object code copies of the Software as are set forth on Exhibit B. For each such object code copy of the --------- Software paid for by Licensee, Licensee will have a fully paid-up, perpetual license to use such object code copy of the Software. The parties may amend and supplement Exhibit B from time to time to add licenses to use additional object --------- code copies. The licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement will be only for one server per object code copy of the Software. Except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement, no right is granted hereby to use any of ATCOM's trademarks, trade names, brand names, logos or service marks. 3. Restrictions. Licensee may not copy the Software except that it may make one ------------ copy of the Software per object code copy licensed solely for backup purposes. Each copy of the Software may be run on one server only. Unless and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Licensee will not (i) attempt to construct or discover, decompile or reverse engineer any source code, structure, algorithms, or other underlying ideas or processes of the Software by any means whatever; (ii) remove any copyright or other proprietary notices, (iii) modify, incorporate into other software or create a derivative work of any part of the Software, or (iv) export the Software or any copy or direct product thereof out of the United States except in compliance with any applicable export laws and regulations. 4.

Licensee may provide other Internet -- ------------------------------------ related services and software to its customers or sell Licensee hardware to companies that compete with ATCOM, but Licensee will not develop or make Internet access software that competes with, or would in any way affect adversely, impair or decrease the use of, ATCOM's Software in the hotel and motel market. 5. Delivery and Installation. Licensee will be solely responsible for -- ------------------------- installing the Software and providing all hardware, telephone, cabling, telecommunications and network service connections, including Internet service access provisions, parts, and supplies, CAIS ATCOM Initial/Date: / Licensee Initial/Date: / ----- ----- ----- ----- 1
EX-10.252nd Page of 19TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 2nd
necessary for installing the Software at the site location but Licensee's installation must conform to the requirements of Exhibits F and G. Upon receipt ---------------- of the Software from ATCOM, Licensee will complete and return to ATCOM within five business days an IPORT(TM) Property Site Survey in substantially the form of the specimen of Exhibit C. ATCOM may change the form of the IPORT(TM) --------- Property Site Survey from time to time. Licensee will retain all original disks or CDs provided to Licensee by ATCOM containing the Software for purposes of verification of compliance with this Agreement. The method, service provider and hardware required for the Internet connection will be within the sole discretion of Licensee. Licensee will pay the monthly fee for the Internet connection directly to the provider. 6. Joint Efforts. ATCOM may, in its sole discretion, request Licensee to assist ------------- ATCOM or otherwise participate with ATCOM in connection with IPORT(TM) technology implementations on behalf of ATCOM's own customers. In such event, Licensee and ATCOM agree to negotiate in good faith reasonable terms and conditions therefor. 7. Customization and Advertising Services. During the term of this Agreement, -------------------------------------- upon Licensee's written request and at Licensee's expense (based on ATCOM's time and material rates set forth on Exhibit B), and upon prior mutual agreement on --------- payment, design, delivery, and other relevant terms and conditions, ATCOM will provide customization and advertising services. 8. Training. During the term of this Agreement, upon Licensee's written request -------- and at Licensee's expense (based on ATCOM's time and material rates set forth on Exhibit B), ATCOM will provide training reasonably necessary for Licensee to --------- effectively use and instruct end users on the use of the Software. 9. Modification & Releases. During the term of this Agreement, ATCOM will ----------------------- deliver to Licensee, without additional charge, any modifications, enhancements, versions or releases of the Software, and Licensee will keep ATCOM informed as to any problems encountered with the Software and any resolutions arrived at for those problems. 10. License Fees. In consideration for the licenses granted pursuant to this ------------ Agreement, Licensee will pay ATCOM the non-refundable license, monitoring, and use fees as set forth on Exhibit B. ATCOM reserves the right unilaterally to --------- change the prices set forth as Exhibit B upon 30 days advance notice to --------- Licensee. 11. Monitoring and Help Desk. During the term of this Agreement, ATCOM will ------------------------ provide the monitoring and help desk services, and Licensee will pay to ATCOM the monitoring and help desk fees, in each case as set forth on Exhibit B. If --------- requested by ATCOM, Licensee will allow ATCOM to make a reasonable limited on- site inspection and limited on-site operational testing with respect to Software performance. Such inspection and operational testing will include assessing the physical integrity of the installed IPORT(TM) system (including the Software loaded on the server and the corresponding Licensee Jacks) and attempting to operate the system in a manner similar to that expected of an end user. CAIS ATCOM Initial/Date: / Licensee Initial/Date: / ----- ----- ----- ----- 2
EX-10.253rd Page of 19TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 3rd
Licensee will allow ATCOM to remotely monitor the IPORT system for purposes of auditing and statistics gathering. 12. Payment Due Dates. All fees will be payable as set forth on Exhibit B. ----------------- --------- All fees will be deemed overdue if they remain unpaid 31 days after they become payable. All payments will be made without abatement, set-off, or deduction for any amount whatsoever.

The payment obligations of Licensee pursuant to this Agreement will be absolute and unconditional and will in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected by reason of any set off or claim Licensee may have against ATCOM or any customer of Licensee. 13. Branding and Notices. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that the Internet -------------------- access system enabled by the Software will be known only as the "IPORT(TM) system," provided, however, that Licensee shall not be restricted from referencing OverVoice in connection with Licensee's OverVoice(TM) infrastructure system and equipment, and in connection with hotels or other facilities using the OverVoice(TM) infrastructure solution. Licensee must not alter or remove ATCOM's trade name, service marks, trademarks or copyright notice and any other proprietary notices or trademarks on each installed copy or any backup copies and must include ATCOM's "IPORT(TM)" trademark on the Licensee Jacks. Licensee's "OverVoice(TM)" trade name, service mark, or trademarks shall be included on all wall jacks and other equipment proprietary to Licensee where the OverVoice(TM) infrastructure solution is used. ATCOM is the sole owner of the service marks, trademarks and trade names "ATCOM/INFO," "IPORT(TM)" and "INTERNET DIAL TONE" (the "ATCOM Marks"). Licensee agrees to actively promote the IPORT(TM) system by ----------- furnishing ATCOM's promotional literature and technical information and related assistance to end users and prospective end users of the IPORT(TM) system. Licensee will comply in all respects with the trademark quality control requirements set forth by ATCOM on Exhibits D. If ATCOM produces marketing ---------- materials or artwork that would help publicize the IPORT(TM) system, ATCOM will make samples of such materials or artwork available to Licensee at no cost, and Licensee will ensure that such materials are displayed in all appropriate locations. Each party may use the other's name in marketing the IPORT(TM) system, but each party will perform no actions to harm the other's name and reputation. 14. Ownership and Proprietary Rights. ATCOM has and will retain all ownership -------------------------------- and intellectual property rights in the Software and any derivative works thereof, and, except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement, ATCOM has the exclusive right to protect by copyright or otherwise to reproduce, publish, sell or distribute the Software to anyone. ATCOM reserves the sole right to modify and update the Software. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that ATCOM is the sole and exclusive owner of all patents, copyrights and trademarks relating to the Software and the IPORT(TM) system, whether or not registered. Licensee will not take any action that might impair in any way any right, title or interest of ATCOM and/or any licensee of ATCOM in or to any of ATCOM's intellectual property rights or challenge the ownership of any patents or validity or ownership of any of ATCOM's CAIS ATCOM Initial/Date: / Licensee Initial/Date: / ----- ----- ----- ----- 3
EX-10.254th Page of 19TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
copyrights, trade names or trademarks. Licensee will in no manner represent that it has any ownership interest in the Software, the IPORT(TM) system or ATCOM's intellectual property. 15. Confidentiality. Licensee agrees to receive and maintain the Software and --------------- all information and ideas with respect thereto (collectively "Confidential ------------ Information") in confidence using at least, but not limited to, the same degree ----------- of care to protect such Confidential Information it takes in protecting its own confidential information. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Licensee will not use Confidential Information or disclose it to third parties. Without granting any license, ATCOM agrees that Licensee will have no obligations under this section with respect to information Licensee demonstrates by written records (a) was already rightfully known to Licensee without restriction prior to disclosure by ATCOM; (b) is generally publicly available at the time of disclosure; (c) is disclosed to Licensee by a third party who is not in breach of an obligation of confidentiality, provided that all restrictions imposed by such third party are complied with; or (d) becomes generally publicly available after disclosure through no act or omission of Licensee. The provisions of this section will survive any termination of the license or this Agreement. 16. Termination. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions ----------- of this Section, the term of this Agreement will continue from the date of this Agreement until the third anniversary thereof and will automatically renew for an additional one year term unless either party provides the other party with at least 90 days notice of such party's intention not to renew. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon 90 days advance notice and by payment of all accrued fees up to and including the effective date of termination or upon 30 days notice if the other party materially fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement and such failure is not cured within such 30-day notice period. Upon termination, (a) Licensee will immediately and any Confidential Information and return to ATCOM within one month after termination of Confidential Information and (b) ATCOM will have no further obligations to support, maintain, enhance or upgrade the Software as to provide any customization, advertising, training, monitoring or help desk services, but Licensee may continue to operate and maintain, but not copy, any object code copies of the Software for which Licensee has previously paid ATCOM the applicable up-front fees. This requirement applies to copies of Confidential Information in all forms, partial and complete, in all types of media and computer memory, and whether or not modified or merged into other materials. Termination of this Agreement will not limit either party from pursuing any other remedies available to it, including injunctive relief, nor will such termination relieve Licensee of its obligation to pay all fees that accrued prior to such termination. 17. Warranty. ATCOM warrants for a period of the earlier of 90 days from the -------- date of installation of the Software that the Software, unless modified by Licensee, will perform the functions described in the documentation provided by ATCOM, as updated by ATCOM from time to time, when operated on the operating system described on Exhibit A. ATCOM will undertake to correct any substantial --------- defect in the Software which has been reported to ATCOM by Licensee and any minor defects will be corrected in a subsequent release. In addition, ATCOM warrants the tapes, CDS, diskettes, or other tangible media to be free of defects and materials and workmanship under normal use for 90 days from the date of this CAIS ATCOM Initial/Date: / Licensee Initial/Date: / ----- ------ ----- ----- 4
EX-10.255th Page of 19TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
Agreement. During the 90-day period, Licensee may return defective media to ATCOM and it will be replaced without charge. Replacement of media is Licensee's sole remedy in the event of a media defect. In the case of breach of warranty of the Software, ATCOM will correct or replace any defective Software or, if not practicable, ATCOM will accept the return of the defective Software and refund to Licensee the amount actually paid to ATCOM for the defective Software. THE WARRANTIES ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNITIES AND GUARANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW, CUSTOM, BY ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ATCOM, ITS LICENSORS, OR REPRESENTATIVES OR OTHERWISE. 18. Disclaimer. ATCOM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET LICENSEE'S ---------- OR ITS CUSTOMERS' REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE IN THE COMBINATIONS WHICH LICENSEE MAY SELECT FOR USE, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ALL SOFTWARE ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT. FURTHER, ATCOM DOES NOT WARRANT, GUARANTEE, OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING USE, OR THE RESULTS OF USE, OF THE SOFTWARE IN TERMS OF CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, CURRENTNESS, OR OTHERWISE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE IS ASSUMED BY LICENSEE. 19. Limitation of Remedies and Damages. ATCOM WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR ---------------------------------- LIABLE UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OF DATA, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUES AND LOSS OF PROFITS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ATCOM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE EXPECTATION OR EXISTENCE OF SUCH DAMAGES. ANY LIABILITY OF ATCOM UNDER ANY THEORY WHATSOEVER WILL BE LIMITED EXCLUSIVELY TO PRODUCT REPLACEMENT OR, IF UNENFORCEABLE, TO PAYMENT OF AN AMOUNT NOT GREATER THAN AMOUNTS ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY ATCOM PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. 20. Notices. Any notice required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement to ------- the parties to this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, by telecopy upon appropriate answer-back or mailed by first-class, registered or certified U.S. mail, postage prepaid or reputable overnight courier, and if to Licensee, addressed to Licensee at the address set forth on the signature page to this Agreement and if to ATCOM, addressed to ATCOM at 308 G Street, San Diego, California 92101, FAX: CAIS ATCOM Initial/Date: / Licensee Initial/Date: / ----- ----- ----- ----- 5

(619) 699-4040. The parties will promptly notify each other in writing of any changes in address. 21. Indemnity. ATCOM will defend and indemnify Licensee against a claim that --------- Software furnished and used within the scope of this Agreement infringes a United States copyright or misappropriates any trade secret, provided that: (a) Licensee notifies ATCOM in writing within 30 days of the claim, (b) ATCOM has sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations, and (c) Licensee provides ATCOM with the assistance, information, and authority necessary to perform the above. ATCOM will have no liability for any claim of infringement based on: (a) use of a superseded or altered release of Software if such infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Software that ATCOM provides to Licensee; (b) any customized Software, to the extent that such customization was at the request of Licensee; or (c) the combination, operations, or use of any Software furnished under this Agreement with Software or data not furnished by ATCOM if such infringement would have been avoided by the use of the Software without such Software or data. If the Software is held or is believed by ATCOM to infringe, ATCOM will have the option, at its expense, to (a) modify the Software to be noninfringing, (b) obtain for Licensee a license to continue using the Software, or (c) terminate the license for the infringing Software and refund the license fees paid for those Software, prorated from the date such Software was delivered. THIS SECTION STATES ATCOM'S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR INFRINGEMENT. 22. Assignment/Affiliated Entities/Licensing of Licensee's Channel Partners. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- a) The License is not assignable or transferable by Licensee and the Software may not be sublicensed without the prior written consent of ATCOM, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided, however, that Licensee may assign this License, without the further consent of ATCOM, to any successor entity or in connection with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of Licensee's assets subject to assignee's assumption of all Licensee's rights and obligations hereunder. Any other attempted transfer, assignment or sublicense will be void and a material breach of this Agreement. This Agreement is assignable by ATCOM. b) ATCOM agrees that Licensee may elect to allow one or more entities affiliated with Licensee to opt into the terms and conditions of this License as a licensee following written notice by Licensee and such affiliated entity to ATCOM of such election. c) ATCOM agrees to provide Licensee from time to time with updated pricing and other terms under which ATCOM would be prospectively offering to license the Software to Licensee's channel partners. Licensee shall have the right to provide such information as furnished by ATCOM to Licensee's actual and prospective channel partners on a non-binding basis and for informational purposes only, recognizing that the pricing and other terms of any license agreement between ATCOM and a channel partner of Licensee would be subject to subsequent negotiation and execution of mutually acceptable license agreement between ATCOM and such channel partner of Licensee.

23. Taxes. Licensee will pay or reimburse ATCOM for all duties, sales and ----- use taxes and other charges relating to the Software, this Agreement or payments pursuant to this Agreement, with the sole exception of taxes on ATCOM's income. 24. Dispute Resolution. This Agreement will be governed and construed by and ------------------ under the laws of the State of California without regard to the application of the principles of conflict of laws, and, subject to the arbitration provisions set forth below. Licensee and ATCOM (the "Parties") will submit all disputes ------- arising out of or related to these terms and conditions or to the performance, breach or termination thereof, to binding arbitration pursuant to the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules ("Rules") of the American ----- Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration will take place in San Diego, --- California at the offices of the AAA. The dispute will be resolved by a single arbitrator appointed by the AAA in accordance with the list procedure described in Paragraph 13 of the Rules, except that the AAA will transmit the list within ten days of the filing of the Demand for Arbitration, and the Parties will have five days to return the list to the AAA with their objections and preferences. Discovery will be limited to one deposition by each side and written document requests, requesting the production of specific documents. The Parties will voluntarily produce any and all documents that they intend to use at the hearing before the close of discovery, subject to supplementation for purposes of rebuttal or good cause shown. The period for taking discovery will be sixty days, commencing upon the day that the answer is due under the Rules. The arbitrator will hold a pre-hearing conference within three days of the close of discovery, and will schedule the hearing within thirty days of the close of discovery. The Parties expressly agree that prior to the selection of the arbitral panel, nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Parties from applying to a court that would otherwise have jurisdiction for provisional or interim injunctive or other equitable measures. After the arbitral panel is selected, it will have sole jurisdiction to hear such applications, except that the Parties agree that any measure ordered by the arbitrator may be immediately and specifically enforced by a court otherwise having jurisdiction over the Parties. All fees and costs will be allocated to the Parties to the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator. To the extent that the state or federal law under which a Party's claim arises provides for the award of attorneys fees to the prevailing party, the arbitrator is empowered to award such fees. The Parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court sitting in the County of San Diego, State of California, for the resolution of any dispute or enforcement of any right arising our of or relating to this section, and waive any objection to the venue or personal jurisdiction of said courts. 25.
