10.3.1. Should you cancel your Event for any reason, including changing your meeting/function site to another hotel, then at the same time that you deliver your notice of cancellation to us, you also agree to pay us the applicable full cancellation penalty, plus applicable national and local taxes.

The schedule of full cancellation penalty applicable for your Event is set forth in the Event Agreement.
10.3.2. All notices of cancellation must be in writing and will take effect from the date of our receipt of both your notice and the applicable cancellation penalty. We may, in our reasonable discretion, consider your notice of cancellation to be invalid and thus may not release accommodations held until payment of the applicable cancellation penalty is received; therefore delay in payment may result in higher cancellation penalty being owed.
10.3.3. Should you wish to confirm the accurate calculation of the applicable cancellation penalty, you may contact us and request that we prepare a statement detailing the applicable cancellation penalty, plus applicable national and local taxes. We will subtract any advance payments and deposits previously paid by you to us.

10.4. Performance/Reduction In Numbers
10.4.1. Prior to your Event, we may review the number of requests for bedroom assignments that have been made by your attendees in order to compare your obligations herein with your actual likely performance.

10.4.2. At least 3 business days prior to the Arrival Date, you must notify us of your final number of attendees that will be attending your Event functions.
10.4.3. If the Event is held, but we do not realize the Total Anticipated Revenue from your Event, whether due to reduction in size of your meeting, drop in attendance, change in F&B functions or otherwise, you agree to pay to us a reasonable penalty, plus applicable national and local taxes, for your lack of performance. The penalty applicable to your Event is set forth in the Event Agreement.
