Customer understands that without the certainty of revenue promised by the commitments set forth in this Agreement, CSG would have been unwilling to provide the Products and Services in accordance with the terms set forth herein. Because of the difficulty in ascertaining CSG’s actual damages for a termination of this Agreement by Customer without cause or other breach of this Agreement by Customer resulting in termination of this Agreement by CSG, Customer agrees that, upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety for reasons other than by a Party pursuant to section 12.7 or by Customer pursuant to section ***(*), (*), (*) or (*), in addition to all other amounts then due and owing to CSG for Products and Services previously rendered, Customer will pay to CSG (as a liquidated damage and not as a penalty) an amount equal to (i) the ***** ******** ****** (*****) multiplied by (ii) the *********** ******* of the ******* ********** (the ************ ************** ****).

Note 1: The BSC Tiers, as set forth in the table above, are intended to be cumulative and not incremental. For example, if Customer has ********* ********* *********** in the current billing *****, the BSC on all *** ******* (*********) ********* *********** will be $****** per ********* **********. As a point of clarification, in the event that a Connected Subscriber is utilizing several services (e.g., Non-Rated Video, Non-Rated High-Speed Data and Residential Voice Services) on a single subscriber account on the last processing day of a processing *****, such Subscriber shall be counted as *** (*) ********* **********. However, in the event that a Connected Subscriber is utilizing several services (e.g., Non-Rated Video, Non-Rated High-Speed Data and Residential Voice Services services) on ***** (*) ******** ********** ******** on the last processing day of a processing *****, such Connected Subscriber shall be counted as ***** (*) ********* ***********.
Notwithstanding the foregoing BSC Rate Table above, CSG agrees that in the event Connected Subscriber volumes fall below the level measured as of the Effective Date of the Fifty-ninth Amendment (“Subscriber Volume Benchmark”), and such Connected Subscriber volume decreases are directly attributable to the **** ***********, CSG will provide an ********* in the *********** of the ********* ********** ****** tier rates identified in the BSC Rate Table above during a ************* ********* ******. “**** ***********” shall mean closure of the transaction made public on ***** **, ****, between ******* *********** and ******* ************** which results in ******** ********* and ********* *********** upon its close which is expected to be in ****. For purposes of the BSC, ********* ****** shall mean the period beginning with the ***** that ********’* ***** ********* ********** ****** ***** ***** the ********** ****** ********* as a result of the **** *********** and ****** with the ********** (****) ***** thereafter. In the event that the transition of billing services related to the **** *********** is ******** by the parties involved, Customer may ****** the ********* ****** for a corresponding period not to exceed up to *** (*) ****** by providing written notice to CSG, but in no case shall the ********* ****** be more than *********** (**) ****** from the period beginning with the month that Customer’s ***** ********* ********** ****** ***** ***** the ********** ****** ********* as a result of the **** ***********.
During the ********* ******, Customer’s ********* ********** ****** is expected to be ******* as a result of the **** ***********. In the event that Customer’s ********* ********** ****** is *******, Customer will nonetheless be ******** the *** **** ************ with the ********** ****** ********* as long as such ********* ********** ****** stays ***** **** ******* **** ******* ******** (*********) ********* ***********. If at any time during the ********* ******, Customer’s ********* ********** ****** ***** ***** **** ******* **** ******* ******** (*********), the BSC rate corresponding to the ***** ****** ** ********* *********** for that ********** ******* ****** will be ******** ******** to the ********* ********** ****** ***** as provided in the BSC Rate Table.

*********, CSG will ***** *** ********** or ********* *** from Customer on a ********** ***** (******* **********).
Example: Customer’s Connected Subscriber volume is **** ******* ***** ******* ******** (*********) in the ***** ***** of the ********* ******; the BSC rate from the BSC Rate Table for this ********* ********** ****** is $******. Customer’s ********** ****** ********* was determined to be *** ******* **** ******* ******** (*********); the BSC rate from the BSC Rate Table for this ********* ********** ****** is $******. In this example, Customer would be invoiced $************ (********* ********* *********** * $******) for the BSC. The ****** ********* for this ***** would be $********** (********* ********* *********** * ($*******$******)). This process and calculation of the ****** ********* would continue and would accumulate on a ********** basis during the ********* ******.
It has been contemplated by the Parties that there may be ********* ********* *********** during the ********* ****** for which a ********** ********* ***** would apply. CSG shall have the right to apply any ********** ********* ***** against the balance of the ****** ********* during the ********* ****** prior to any ********** ********* ***** ******* ******* being applied to Customer’s *******. In the event that the ****** ********* has a balance at the end of the ********* ******, Customer agrees to *** *** for **** ******* in accordance with section 5.2, "Invoices and Payment" upon presentation by CSG of an invoice in such amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSG agrees to work in good faith with Customer to determine an alternate ****** ********* ************* **** if requested by Customer at the end of the ********* ******; however, any alternate reimbursement plan shall be at CSG’s sole discretion.
