This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

J.J. (P) entered into a contract with Budget (D). The provisions of that agreement outlined the arrangement for allocating reservation system obligations. The reservation system had changed, and P brought a declaratory action to determine the extent of its obligations under the 1962 licensing agreement. D wanted to install a central reservation system in order to better serve its customers. P insisted that it should receive all reservations from any of D's reservations offices. D contends that its obligation to provide free reservations was limited to the old system and that obligation was excused by the advance of technology. The trial court split the baby and gave P a minor reduction in fees for the new system. Both P and D appealed.
