or any portion of the Purchased Assets, as that term is defined in the Asset
Purchase Agreement, by and between CSG and "TCI," (as such term is defined

that Customer shall not be deemed to have waived its rights under this Master
Agreement if the damages arise solely from CSG's enhancements, modifications or
combination of the Purchased Assets with other Products and Services provided by
CSG. Customer acknowledges that (i) the Products and the Incorporated Third
Party Software may not satisfy all of Customer's requirements and (ii) the use
of the Products and the Incorporated Third Party Software may not be
uninterrupted or error-free. Customer further acknowledges that (i) the fees set

(b) Remedies Relating to Product and Services. In case of breach of warranty
-----------------------------------------
set forth in Section 7(a) above relating to Products and Services or any other

to Customer (i) the amount actually paid to CSG allocable to the defective
Product, and (ii) a pro rata share of the maintenance fees that Customer
actually paid to CSG for the period that such Product was not usable. Any claim

action on or after the Effective Date that would cause any of their
representations set forth in this Section 7 to be materially untrue.

---------
brought against it that arises from a breach of the other party's
representations and warranties set forth in Section 7(c), 7(d) or 7(f) above, as
applicable. The breaching party will indemnify the other party with respect to
such claim pursuant to Section 12 below.
8. INCORPORATED THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. Customer
acknowledges that the Products incorporate certain third party computer programs
and documentation (the "Incorporated Third Party Software") and/or the Products
are licensed and the Services are offered under certain third party patent,
copyright or other rights (the "Third Party Rights"), which are subject to the
additional or alternative terms and conditions set forth in Schedule G, as
----------
applicable (the "Incorporated Licenses"). Customer will execute the additional
documents that such vendors may reasonably require to enable CSG to deliver the
Incorporated Third Party Software to Customer. Except as otherwise provided in
Schedule G, CSG makes no warranty and provides no indemnity with respect to the
----------
Incorporated Third Party Software or the Third Party Rights. The fees for all
Incorporated Third Party Software are the responsibility of CSG unless otherwise
specified on Schedule D.

the manner described by this Agreement, do not and will not infringe upon any
right, tradename, trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret or other
intellectual property right of any third party and (ii) agrees that if any
action based upon a breach of the warranty contained in the preceding sentence
is instituted against Customer based upon a claim that the Services, Products or
any component thereof, including any Incorporated Third Party Software, infringe
any right, tradename, trademark, copyright, patent, or other intellectual
property right ("Infringement Action"), CSG shall, for and on behalf of
Customer, indemnify Customer for any losses, damages, claims or liabilities
awarded to a third party and resulting from such infringement and shall defend
Customer at CSG's expense against such Infringement Action. CSG's liability
hereunder is contingent upon: (i) Customer promptly notifying CSG in writing of
said Infringement Action; and (ii) CSG having sole control of the defense of any
such claim and any settlement negotiations. To the extent such Infringement
Action solely involves the Services, Products, or any component thereof,
including any Incorporated Third Party Software, CSG shall have sole control of
the defense and any settlement negotiations. CSG will not voluntarily enter into
any injunction without Customer's consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. To the extent such Infringement Action involves the Services, Products
or any component thereof, including any Incorporated Third Party Software, as
well as other Customer subject matter, CSG and Customer agree to cooperate in
the defense and any settlement negotiations in such Infringements Action;
provided that, in the event CSG and Customer cannot reach agreement then CSG
shall have sole control over only that portion of the Infringement Action
involving Services, Products and all components thereof, including any
Incorporated Third Party Software, and Customer shall have sole control over the
remaining portions of such Infringement Action at its sole risk and expense,
including without limitation the payment of any damages awarded. For the purpose
of this Section 12, if as a result of an Infringement Action, CSG fails to
perform the material terms of this Master Agreement, then the provisions of this
Section 12 shall apply. CSG shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure for
Customer another vendor providing the same or similar services as CSG and CSG
shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with such procurement
and conversion to such vendor; provided, however, that CSG's obligation
hereunder is expressly conditioned upon the following; (i) Customer pays to CSG
all of the costs and fees that would have been due hereunder had there been no
Infringement Action; and (ii) CSG has sole control over the negotiation of the
terms, conditions and fees associated with such substitute vendor.
(b) CSG shall have no liability to Customer for any infringement action or
claim which would not have occurred but for, and which is based upon or arises
out of;
(i) any modification of the Products by Customer without the express
written permission of CSG; or
(ii) any use of the Products in combination with (A) any other system,
equipment or software which is not furnished by CSG or approved by CSG in
writing or (B) any peripheral equipment, such as PCs, printers or
communication devices, which may reasonably be anticipated to be used by
Customer.

(c) If any action in instituted against CSG based upon a claim that any
materials such as artwork or inserts provided by Customer to CSG infringe a
United States patent, copyright or trademark, Customer shall, for and on behalf
of CSG, defend and indemnify such action at Customer's expense, provided CSG
promptly notifies Customer in writing of said action and Customer has sole
control of the defense and any settlement negotiations.
(d) If an Infringement Action may be or has been asserted, Customer will permit
CSG, at CSG's option and expense, to (i) procure the right to continue using the
Product, or (ii) replace or modify the Product to eliminate the infringement
while providing functionally equivalent performance.
(e) For purposes of this Section 12, the term "third party" shall be deemed to
be any entity other than Customer, any entity controlled by, controlling or
under common control of Customer ("Customer Affiliates"), or any entity in which
a Customer Affiliate has any ownership or other control interest.
(f) This Section 12 shall be the sole and exclusive liability of CSG and remedy
of Customer relating to an Infringement Action.
13. LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS MASTER
AGREEMENT, ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNITIES AND
GUARANTEES WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS, THE INCORPORATED THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE,
OTHER THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, AND THE SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
ARISING BY LAW, CUSTOM, PRIOR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY CSG, ITS AGENTS OR
OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
SATISFACTION, OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE HEREBY OVERRIDDEN, EXCLUDED
AND DISCLAIMED. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
BEING PROVIDED ARE NOT WARRANTED TO BE ERROR-FREE.
14. NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY OR ITS
RELATED PERSONS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR CSG'S LICENSORS AND VENDORS BE
LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, BASED
ON THE OTHER PARTY'S CLAIMS OR THOSE OF ITS CUSTOMERS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, CLAIMS FOR LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, USE OF MONEY OR USE OF THE
PRODUCTS, RESULTING REPORTS, THEIR ACCURACY OR THEIR INTERPRETATION,
INTERRUPTION IN USE OR AVAILABILITY OF DATA, STOPPAGE OF OTHER WORK OR
IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER ASSETS), ARISING OUT OF BREACH OR FAILURE OF EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY IN TORT OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS
SECTION, AN AWARD OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES TO A THIRD PARTY IN A FINAL JUDGMENT
AGAINST CUSTOMER OR CSG SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE ACTUAL DAMAGES FOR THE PURPOSES OF
SECTION 12. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THIS MASTER
AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY WHICH CSG OR CUSTOMER, THEIR
LICENSORS OR THEIR VENDORS MAY INCUR IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING EXCEED FORTY
FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ($44,000,000). DESPITE THE FOREGOING EXCLUSION AND
LIMITATION, THIS SECTION WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW
SPECIFICALLY REQUIRES LIABILITY. THE PRECEDING TWO SENTENCES SHALL NOT APPLY TO
NOR LIMIT THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF CSG AND CUSTOMER SET FORTH IN SECTION 12
AND 44. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION 14, THE TERM "THIRD PARTY" SHALL BE ANY
ENTITY OTHER THAN CUSTOMER, ANY ENTITY CONTROLLED BY, CONTROLLING OR UNDER
COMMON CONTROL OF CUSTOMER ("CUSTOMER AFFILIATES"), OR ANY ENTITY IN WHICH A
CUSTOMER AFFILIATE HAS ANY OWNERSHIP OR OTHER CONTROL INTEREST.
15. TERM. This Master Agreement shall be effective on and as of the Closing, as
that term is defined in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement (the "Effective
Date"). Unless terminated pursuant to Section 16 and 17, this Master Agreement
shall continue until December 31, 2012 but in any case the term of this Master
Agreement shall extend for the term of any license granted under an executed
Schedule hereto; provided, however, that, such extension shall relate solely to
those provisions of the Master Agreement that survive pursuant to Section 20
hereof. The term of any specific license for the Products and the term for any
specific Services to be provided shall be set forth in the Schedules attached
hereto and shall be effective from the date set forth therein and continue as
provided for therein, unless terminated pursuant to Section 17 of this Master
Agreement.

16. ANNUAL TECHNICAL AUDIT. CSG and Customer shall annually designate and
split the costs of a third party (the "Auditor") with significant knowledge and
background in the customer care and billing industry for wireline video
subscribers (the "Industry") to conduct a technical audit of the Products and
Services provided by CSG under this Master Agreement (the "Audit"). The Auditor
shall issue a report as to whether such Products and Services, taken as a
whole, do not include features and functionalities that have become standard in
the Industry (the "Innovations"). The Auditor will conduct said Audit and issue
its report simultaneously to the parties within 45 days of the parties' request
for the Audit. Customer may request that CSG incorporate such Innovations into
its Products and Services pursuant to a Statement of Work (as contemplated under
Schedule B). For Audits conducted up to and including the fourth anniversary of
----------
this Master Agreement, CSG shall have until the fifth anniversary of this
Agreement, or such other time period mutually agreeable to the parties, to
incorporate such Innovation recommended by the Auditor, in accordance with the
terms and conditions contained in the applicable Statement of Work. For Audits
conducted after the fifth anniversary of this Master Agreement up to and
including the ninth anniversary of this Agreement, CSG shall have until the
tenth anniversary of this Agreement, or such other time period mutually
agreeable to the parties, to incorporate such Innovation recommended by the
Auditor, in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the applicable
Statement of Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSG will use commercially
reasonable efforts to incorporate such Innovations in a shorter period of time.
In the event that CSG fails to incorporate such Innovations within the
applicable schedule set forth in this Section, then CSG shall release Customer
from the exclusivity requirements contained in this Master Agreement, but only
to the extent necessary for Customer to obtain such Innovation from a third
party, but only if such third party is able to provide such Innovations on
commercially reasonable terms and conditions and subject to the deadlines
imposed upon CSG under this Section. In such event, CSG will provide Customer
with reasonable assistance in connection with the incorporation of such
Innovation obtained from said third party. Should CSG's failure to incorporate
the Innovations under the terms and conditions of this Section cause the value
to Customer of the Products and Services specified in Section 31, taken as a
whole, to be substantially and materially reduced in a manner that substantially
frustrates the business purpose of this Master Agreement or has a material
adverse affect on Customer's business as a whole, then Customer may terminate
this Agreement immediately upon notice to CSG, subject to the escalation
provisions of Section 34(a).
17. TERMINATION. This Master Agreement or any one or more of the Schedules
attached hereto may be terminated for cause as follows:
(a) If either party materially or repeatedly defaults in the performance of
their respective material obligations hereunder, except for Customer's
obligation to pay fees, and fails either to substantially cure such default
within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice specifying the default
or, for those defaults which cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days,
fails to promptly commence curing such default and thereafter fails to proceed
with all due diligence to substantially cure such default, then the party not in
default may, by giving at least ninety 90 days written notice to the defaulting
party, terminate this Master Agreement or any one or more of its Schedules.
(b) If Customer fails to pay when due any amounts not disputed in good faith
owed hereunder, then CSG may, after giving sixty (60) business days' written
notice thereof to Customer, terminate this Master Agreement or at CSG's option,
CSG may terminate any one or more of the Schedules attached hereto.
(c) In the event that either party hereto becomes or is declared insolvent or
bankrupt, is the subject of any proceedings related to its liquidation,
insolvency or for the appointment of a receiver or similar officer for it, makes
an assignment for the benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors, or
enters into an agreement for the composition, extension or readjustment of all
or substantially all of its obligations, then the other party hereto may, by
giving written notice thereof to such party, terminate this Master Agreement as
of the date specified in such notice of termination.
(d) At the fifth and tenth year anniversary of this Agreement, in the event
that CSG has materially or repeatedly failed to substantially comply with its
material obligations hereunder taken as a whole, then, subject to the escalation
provisions of Section 34(a), the Customer may terminate this Master Agreement
immediately upon notice to CSG, without further obligation or liability, except
for matters that relate to events or actions that occurred prior to said
termination.

THE PARTIES HERETO ONLY AND IS NOT FOR GENERAL DISTRIBUTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE
THEIR RESPECTIVE COMPANIES
(e) Upon the termination of the Master Agreement or any one or more of the
Schedules attached hereto, for any reason, all rights granted to Customer under
this Master Agreement or the terminated Schedule(s) will cease, and Customer
will promptly (i) purge all the Products from the Designated Environment and all
of Customer's other computer systems, storage media and other files; (ii)
destroy the Products and all copies thereof; (iii) deliver to CSG an affidavit

fees otherwise due and payable by Customer pursuant to the terms of this Master
Agreement, unless CSG terminates this Master Agreement other than as the result
of Customer's breach thereof or Customer terminates this Master Agreement for a
material uncured breach by CSG. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if only one or
more of the Schedules are terminated, Customer must comply with the requirements
of this paragraph only with respect to the specific Products set forth in the
terminated Schedule(s).
18. TERMINATION ASSISTANCE. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this
Master Agreement or termination of Schedule A by either party for any reason,
----------
CSG will provide Customer, reasonable termination assistance for up to ninety
(90) days relating to the transition to another vendor. This termination
assistance will be provided to Customer at CSG's then standard published rates
provided to CSG's sales force unless CSG has materially defaulted under the
terms of this Master Agreement in which case the termination assistance will be
provided to Customer at no charge. If this Master Agreement expires or is
terminated earlier by CSG in accordance with the terms of this Master Agreement,
then Customer will pay CSG, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month
and as a condition to CSG's obligation to provide termination assistance to
Customer during that month, an amount equal to CSG's reasonable estimate of the
total amount payable to CSG for such termination assistance for that month. In
the event of a conflict between this Section and Section 4 of Schedule A, then
----------
Section 4 of Schedule A shall govern.
----------
19. CONFIDENTIALITY.
(a) Definition. Customer and CSG will provide to each other or will come into
----------
possession information relating to each other's business, CSG's Products and
Services and the Incorporated Third Party Software which is considered
confidential (the "Confidential Information"). Customer acknowledges that
confidentiality restrictions are imposed by CSG's licensors or vendors.
Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, all of Customer's
and CSG's trade secrets, and all know-how, design, invention, plan or process
and Customer's data and information relating to Customer's and CSG's respective
business operations, services, products, research and development, CSG's
vendors' or licensors' information and products, and all other information that
is marked "confidential" or "proprietary" prior to or upon disclosure, or which,
if disclosed orally, is identified by the disclosing party at the time as being
confidential or proprietary and is confirmed by the disclosing party as being
Confidential Information in writing within thirty (30) days after its initial
disclosure.
(b) Restrictions. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain
------------
the confidentiality of such Confidential Information and not show or otherwise
disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties, including, but not
limited to, independent contractors and consultants, except as to those that
have executed a non-disclosure agreement reasonably acceptable to CSG, without
the prior written consent of the disclosing party. Each party shall use the
Confidential Information solely for purposes of performing its obligations under
this Master Agreement. Each party shall indemnify the other for any loss or
damage the other party may sustain as a result of the wrongful use or disclosure
by such party (or any employee, agent, licensee, contractor, assignee or
delegate of the other party) of its Confidential Information. Customer and CSG
will not allow the removal or defacement of any confidentiality or proprietary
notice placed on any CSG documentation or products. The placement of copyright
notices on these items will not constitute publication or otherwise impair their
confidential nature.
(c) Disclosure. Neither party shall have any obligation to maintain the
----------
confidentiality of any Confidential Information which: (i) is or becomes
publicly available by other than unauthorized disclosure by the receiving party;
(ii) is independently developed by the receiving party; (iii) is received from a
third party who has lawfully obtained such Confidential Information without a
confidentiality restriction, (iv) was already known to Customer or CSG on a non-
confidential basis, as evidenced by the recipient's records, prior to the
disclosure to the other; or (v) is at any time furnished to a third party by
either party without restrictions on the third party's right to disclose. If
required by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority,
the receiving party may disclose to such authority, data, information or
materials involving or pertaining to Confidential Information to the extent
required by such order or authority, provided that the receiving party shall
first have used its best efforts to obtain a protective order or other
protection reasonably satisfactory to the disclosing party sufficient to
maintain the confidentiality of such data, information
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - FOR USE BY AUTHORIZED EMPLOYEES FOR
THE PARTIES HERETO ONLY AND IS NOT FOR GENERAL DISTRIBUTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE
THEIR RESPECTIVE COMPANIES
or materials. If an unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information
occurs, the parties will take all steps which may be available to recover the
documentation and/or products and to prevent their subsequent unauthorized use
or dissemination.
(d) Limited Access. Each party shall limit the use and access of Confidential
--------------
Information to such party's bona fide employees or agents, or consultants (who
have executed a non-disclosure agreement reasonably acceptable to CSG),
including independent auditors and required governmental agencies, who have a
need to know such information for purposes of conducting the receiving party's
business and who agree to comply with the use and non-disclosure restrictions
applicable to the products and documentation under this Master Agreement. If
requested, receiving party shall cause such individuals to execute appropriate
confidentiality agreements in favor of the disclosing party. Each party shall
notify all employees and agents who have access to Confidential Information or
to whom disclosure is made that the Confidential Information is the
confidential, proprietary property of the disclosing party and shall instruct
such employees and agents to maintain the Confidential Information in
confidence.
20. SURVIVAL. Termination of this Master Agreement shall not impair either
party's then accrued rights, obligations, liabilities or remedies.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Master Agreement to the contrary,
the terms and conditions of Sections 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18,
19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 28, 30, 33(b) and 34 shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Master Agreement. With respect to licenses granted to
Customer pursuant to any Schedule to this Master Agreement, the following
Sections of the Master Agreement shall survive for the term of such licenses: 7,
8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 22, 28, 33(b) and 34.
21. NATURE OF RELATIONSHIP. CSG, in furnishing Services and licensing Products
to Customer hereunder, is acting only as an independent contractor. CSG does
not undertake by this Master Agreement or otherwise to perform any obligation of
Customer, whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any responsibility for
Customer's business or operations. Customer understands and agrees that CSG may
perform similar services for third parties and license same or similar products
to third parties. Nothing in this Master Agreement shall be deemed to
constitute a partnership, joint venture, or joint employer between CSG and
Customer. Neither party shall hold itself out as having any authority to enter
into any contract or create any obligation or liability on behalf of or binding
upon the other party.
22. OWNERSHIP. All trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade
secrets and other proprietary rights in or related to the Products, the
"Deliverables" as defined under Schedule B, the Incorporated Third Party
----------
Software and other third party software (collectively the "Software Products")
are and will remain the exclusive property of CSG or its licensors, whether or
not specifically recognized or perfected under applicable law. Customer will
not take any action that jeopardizes CSG's or its licensor's proprietary rights
or acquire any right in the Software Products, except the limited use rights
specified in the Schedules to this Master Agreement Except as otherwise
explicitly set forth in writing between CSG and Customer, CSG or its licensor
will own all rights in any copy, translation, modification, adaptation or
derivation of the Software Products, including any improvement or development
thereof. Customer will obtain, at CSG's request, the execution of any instrument
that may be appropriate to assign these rights to CSG or its designee or perfect
these rights in CSG's or its licensor's name.
23. RESTRICTED RIGHTS. Use, duplication or disclosure by the U.S. Government
or any of its agencies is subject to restrictions set forth in the Commercial
Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation clause at DFARS
227.7202 and/or the Commercial Computer Software Restricted Rights clause at FAR
52.227.19(c) CSG Systems, Inc., 0000 Xxxxx 000xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000.
24. INSPECTION.
(a) CSG. During the term of this Master Agreement and for twelve (12) months
---
after its termination or expiration for any reason, CSG, Customer or their
representative may, upon prior notice to the other party, inspect the files,
computer processors, equipment and facilities of Customer during normal working
hours to verify Customer's compliance with this Master Agreement. While
conducting such inspection, CSG, Customer or their representative will be
entitled to copy any item that Customer may possess in violation of this Master
Agreement; provided, however, if there is a disparagement as to whether there is
a violation, or if such items as subject to third party rights or otherwise
confidential, Customer will segregate them pending a resolution of the issue.
(b) Customer. During the term of this Master Agreement and for a period of
--------
twelve (12) months after its termination or expiration for any reason, Customer
may, upon no less than thirty (30) days prior notice to CSG and during CSG's
normal business hours, conduct an audit of CSG's records regarding Reimbursable
Expenses and hourly charges. Such audit shall
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - FOR USE BY AUTHORIZED EMPLOYEES FOR
THE PARTIES HERETO ONLY AND IS NOT FOR GENERAL DISTRIBUTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE
THEIR RESPECTIVE COMPANIES
be at Customer's expense and conducted by an independent third party auditor
reasonably acceptable to CSG (the "Auditor") and at all times such Auditor shall
be accompanied by CSG personnel. During such audit, the Auditor shall comply
with and abide by all CSG workplace and security requirements. In the event that
such audit reveals that CSG has overreported such costs and charges by more than
five percent (5%) or one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), whichever is
greater, then CSG will reimburse Customer for the cost of such audit in addition
to the amounts owed as revealed by such audit. Customer may exercise such audit
right no more frequently than once per quarter.
25. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in
performing an obligation under this Master Agreement that is due to causes
beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, fire, explosion,
epidemics, earthquake, lightening, failures or fluctuations in electrical power
or telecommunications equipment, accidents, floods, acts of God, the elements,
war, civil disturbances, acts of civil or military authorities or the public
enemy, fuel or energy shortages, acts or omissions of any common carrier,
strikes, labor disputes, regulatory restrictions, restraining orders or decrees
of any court, changes in law or regulation or other acts of governmental,
transportation stoppages or slowdowns or the inability to procure parts or
materials.
26. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer this
Master Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other
party's prior approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Any attempt to do so without such approval will be void. Customer may
assign this Master Agreement, upon notice to CSG, to an entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with Customer, and CSG hereby consents to
such assignment in advance.
27. NOTICES. Any notice or approval required or permitted under this Master
Agreement will be given in writing and will be sent by telefax, courier or mail,
postage prepaid, to the address specified below or to any other address that may
be designated by prior written notice. Any notice or approval delivered by
telefax (with answer back) will be deemed to have been received the day it is

28. SOURCE CODE AVAILABILITY AND SOURCE CODE ESCROW.
(a) Upon the request of Customer, at CSG's sole cost and expense, CSG will add
Customer as a beneficiary to CSG's Master Preferred Source Code Escrow Agreement
("Source Code Agreement") with the third party escrow agent Data Securities
International, Inc. ("DSI"). If Customer is added as a beneficiary of the
Source Code Agreement, in the event that CSG (i) files for protection under
Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy laws of the United States of America or takes other
steps to liquidate its assets for the purpose of discontinuing its business,
(ii) ceases to provide maintenance and support for a Product unless a third
party agrees to provide maintenance and support that is substantially equal to
or better than the obligations set forth herein or (iii) this Master Agreement
is terminated by Customer pursuant to the terms of Section 17; then, CSG agrees
to furnish to Customer a copy of all source code, Documentation and related
materials required to maintain, modify or correct the most current version of
the Software for the CCS Products provided to Customer. Should Customer's use of
the Software source code materials involve the practice of any invention covered
by a patent, CSG shall not assert such patent against Customer.
(b) Customer shall use such released source code and documentation only for
maintenance of the Software for the CCS Products by Customer or a third party
providing such maintenance for Customer.
(c) Upon request, CSG will provide Customer a copy of the Source Code
Agreement.

29. MOST FAVORED NATIONS. The charges and fees under this Master Agreement
will be comparable to the charges and fees charged by CSG to other customers of
like size and similar circumstances, who are subject to similar contract terms
and conditions ("Similarly Situated Customers"). If CSG should enter into an
agreement with a Similarly Situated Customer providing more favorable charges
and fees for the same Products and Services, including those provided pursuant
to a Statement of Work, this Master Agreement shall be deemed to provide the
same terms and conditions to Customer as of the effective date of such third
party agreement(s).
30. MINIMUM FEES. During the term of the Master Agreement, each month Customer
shall be responsible for paying CSG the greater of the actual fees incurred
during such month or the minimum amount of processing fees per month for CCS
Services for wireline video, Internet and wireline telephony set forth in
Schedule D (collectively, the "Minimum"). For the purposes of calculating the
----------
Minimum under this Section 30, CSG shall credit the applicable Minimum by the
amount of processing fees for each of the CCS Services for wireline video,
Internet and wireline telephony contained on each subscriber account. CSG agrees
to credit the Minimum for the CCS Services for wireline video by the amount of
processing fees for the subscribers who utilized the CCS Services for wireline
video under the Billing Agreement as of the termination date of the Billing
Agreement ("Billing Agreement Subscribers"). If, after the Effective Date of
this Master Agreement, Customer (i) sells or otherwise divests a System Site,
and such System Site thereafter agrees to be bound by the terms of this Master
Agreement or (ii) Customer acquires a subsidiary or Affiliate, and such
subsidiary or Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms of this Master
Agreement, then CSG agrees to credit the applicable Minimum by the amount of
processing fees for the subscribers associated with such subsidiary or
Affiliate. Additionally, if, after the Effective Date, a System Site in which
Customer owns at least 20% through equity ownership or contribution of assets
(the "Partner") agrees to be bound by the terms of this Master Agreement prior
to December 31, 1998, then CSG agrees to credit the applicable Minimum by the
amount of processing fees for the subscribers associated with such Partner.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSG shall not credit the Minimum for any System
Site of any, subsidiary, Affiliate or Partner that obtained CCS Services for
wireline video, Internet or wireline telephony services from CSG prior to their
acquisition or divestiture by Customer, and who are brought under this Master
Agreement, by the amount of processing fees for more than one million one
hundred thousand (1,100,000) subscribers during the term of this Master
Agreement; provided, however, that CSG shall credit the Minimum for the CCS
Services for wireline video for the Billing Agreement Subscribers. Further, the
parties have mutually agreed upon the fees for the Products and Services to be
provided hereunder based upon certain assumed volumes of processing activity,
and the length of the term of the Master Agreement. Customer acknowledges and
agrees that, without the certainty of revenue promised by the commitments set
forth in this Master Agreement, CSG would have been unwilling to provide the
Products and Services at the fees set forth in the Master Agreement nor would it
have entered into the Purchase Agreement.
31. EXCLUSIVITY. Subject to Section 7(e), Customer agrees that CSG shall be
Customer's (which, for the purposes of this Section 31, includes any entity that
controls Customer or that is controlled by Customer or in common control with
Customer or its Affiliates) sole and exclusive provider of Products and
Services related to Customer's offerings of wireline video, all Internet/high
speed data services, residential wireline telephony services, and print and mail
services. With respect to the exclusivity of residential wireline telephony
services, the entity must be majority owned and managed by Customer. With
respect to all other Products and Services that are not connected to or required
to be used in conjunction with the CCS Services and which are otherwise offered
to Customer by CSG under the terms of this Master Agreement, (collectively, the
"Ancillary Services"), CSG shall be a preferred provider of Customer. Customer
will use reasonable efforts to use, and cause its subsidiaries, Affiliates and
Partners to use, the Ancillary Services, subject to mutually agreeable terms and
conditions.
32. INSURANCE. CSG will be solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining
appropriate insurance coverage for its activities under this Master Agreement as
reasonably requested by Customer, including, but not limited to, comprehensive
general liability (bodily injury and property damage) insurance and professional
liability insurance.
33. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Notice. All notices or approvals required or permitted under this Master
------
Agreement must be given in writing. Any waiver or modification of this Master
Agreement will not be effective unless executed in writing and signed by CSG.
This Master Agreement will bind Customer's and CSG's successors-in-interest.
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - FOR USE BY AUTHORIZED EMPLOYEES FOR
THE PARTIES HERETO ONLY AND IS NOT FOR GENERAL DISTRIBUTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE
THEIR RESPECTIVE COMPANIES
(b) Choice of Law. This Master Agreement will be governed by and interpreted
-------------
in accordance with the laws of Colorado, USA, to the exclusion of its conflict
of laws provisions.
(c) Severability. If any provision of this Master Agreement is held to be
------------
unenforceable, in whole or in part, such holding will not affect the validity of
the other provisions of this Master Agreement.
(d) Entire Agreement. This Master Agreement, together with the Schedules,
----------------
Exhibits and attachments hereto which are hereby incorporated into this Master
Agreement, constitutes the complete and entire statement of all conditions and
representations of the agreement between CSG and Customer with respect to its
subject matter and supersedes all prior writings or understandings, including
the proposals of the parties.
(e) Waiver. Except as contemplated under Section 41, the waiver by either
------
party of a breach or violation of, or failure of either party to enforce, any
provision of this Master Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver
of any subsequent breach or violation or relinquishment of any rights hereunder.
34. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
(a) Escalation. In the event of any dispute between the parties (i) arising
----------
under Section 17(d), or (ii) not resolved through the monthly meetings
contemplated under Section 37, the parties will promptly schedule a meeting of
the Chief Executive Officers or other senior management officers of the parties
to resolve their dispute. Such meeting shall establish a negotiation schedule
of not less than thirty (30) days for the resolution of such dispute.
(b) Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
-----------
Master Agreement or the existence, validity, breach or termination thereof,
whether during or after its term and not resolved pursuant to Section 34(a),
will be finally settled by compulsory arbitration in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as
modified or supplemented under this Section.
(b) Proceeding. To initiate arbitration, either party will file the
----------
appropriate notice at the Regional Office of the AAA in Denver, Colorado. The
arbitration proceeding will take place in Denver, Colorado. The parties will in
good faith agree on a sole arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree on an
arbitrator, the arbitration panel will consist of three (3) arbitrators, one
arbitrator appointed by each party and a third neutral arbitrator appointed by
the two arbitrators designated by the parties. Any communication between a party
and any arbitrator will be directed to the AAA for transmittal to the
arbitrator. The parties expressly agree that the arbitrators will be empowered
to, at either party's request, grant injunctive relief.
(c) Award. The arbitral award will be the exclusive remedy of the parties for
-----
all claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or plead to the
arbitrators. The award will (i) be granted and paid in U.S. dollars exclusive
of any tax, deduction or offset and (ii) include interest from the date of that
the award is rendered until it is fully paid, computed at the maximum rate
allowed by applicable law. Judgment upon the arbitral award may be entered in
any court that has jurisdiction thereof. Any additional costs, fees or expenses
incurred in enforcing the arbitral award will be charged against the party that
resists its enforcement.
(d) Legal Actions. Nothing in this Section will prevent either party from
-------------
seeking interim injunctive relief against the other party in the courts having
jurisdiction over the other party. Nothing in this Section will prevent CSG
from filing any debt collection action against Customer in the local courts.
35. RELEASE AND TERMINATION OF 1992 SUBSCRIBER BILLING SERVICE AGREEMENT.
Except for obligations that explicitly survive pursuant to the terms thereof,
Customer and CSG hereby release and discharge each other from any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses arising under or by virtue of the
Subscriber Billing Services Agreement dated April 29, 1992 and any related or
subsequent agreements and amendments (the "Billing Agreement") which Billing
Agreement hereby is terminated and discharged. All amounts heretofore paid
pursuant to the Billing Agreement shall be retained by the recipient, and
neither Customer nor CSG shall be required to make any further payments or
credits under the Billing Agreement, except those that have accrued through the
Effective Date of this Agreement, or accrue through the result of passage of
time, provided, however, the provision of this Section 35 shall not apply to
any losses, claims, liabilities, loss, cost, damage or expense (including
reasonably attorney fees) relating to (i)
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - FOR USE BY AUTHORIZED EMPLOYEES FOR
THE PARTIES HERETO ONLY AND IS NOT FOR GENERAL DISTRIBUTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE
THEIR RESPECTIVE COMPANIES
CSG's obligations or liabilities under the Billing Agreement that relate to any
liability, loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
to Customer for infringement upon any right, trademark, tradename, copyright,
patent, trade secret or other intellectual property right; (ii) final judgment
or awards entered against Customer or CSG that arise from matters instituted or
initiated by third parties because of Customer's or CSG's non-performance or
breach of the Billing Agreement or (iii) CSG's obligations or liabilities under
the Billing Agreement relating to insurance required of it to be procured or
carried.
36. ENHANCEMENTS AND UPDATES. CSG shall use best efforts to provide Customer
Bulletins for Enhancements and Updates to ACSR and CSG Vantage (as defined in
Schedule C) and Updates to the CCS Services (as defined in Schedule A) twenty
---------- ----------
(20) days prior to the implementation date of such Enhancements and Updates but
in no event less than fourteen (14) days prior to such implementation date. If
CSG is unable to provide Customer Bulletins within the time frames set forth
above, CSG and Customer shall conduct a meeting via teleconference as soon as
reasonably possible prior to the implementation date to discuss the nature of
the Enhancements and Updates. The parties will mutually determine the CSG
personnel and the Customer personnel that shall attend such meetings. CSG
agrees to implement Enhancements and Updates for ACSR and CSG Vantage and
Updates for the CCS Services under a quarterly release schedule. However, the
parties agree that CSG may need to implement Enhancements and Updates more
frequently due to requests from Customer, regulatory needs of Customer or CSG's
other customers, and modifications that need to be made to ACSR, CSG Vantage or
the CCS Services to fix a bug or error. CSG agrees to assume all responsibility
for implementing Enhancements and Updates for ACSR and CSG Vantage and Updates
for the CCS Services; provided, however, that,(i) if a System Site is utilizing
ACSR or CSG Vantage, CSG shall not be responsible for the successful
implementation of Enhancements and Updates for such Products or the CCS Services
if Customer is not utilizing ACSR or CSG Vantage with the Designated Environment
and (ii) CSG may, from time to time, at no cost to Customer, require Customer's
reasonable assistance with the implementation of such Enhancements and Updates.
37. MONTHLY MEETINGS. CSG and Customer shall conduct monthly meetings via
teleconference to discuss all pending Statements of Work and all other issues
that have arisen since the prior monthly meeting. The parties will mutually
determine the CSG personnel and the Customer personnel that shall attend each
meeting.
38. INCIDENT REPORTS. CSG and Customer will jointly develop a formal process
for reporting and tracking software problems ("Incident Reports"), and the
reporting of them to Customer on no less than a monthly basis, or as otherwise
reasonably requested by Customer. The process will in no event be less than
that proposed by CSG in Attachment 3 to the July 24, 1997, Response to
Operational Service Requirements, which Attachment is hereby incorporated by
reference.
39. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR.

41. SERVICE LEVELS. CSG agrees to provide Customer with the service levels for
the Services set forth in Attachment 3 (the "Performance Standards"). Customer
will review CSG's service levels annually within thirty (30) days of each
anniversary of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days of each such annual
review, Customer shall disclose to CSG in writing (i) all instances in which
Customer knows or should have known, without independent inquiry, that CSG has
failed to meet the applicable Performance Standard (the "Performance Default")
and (ii) for each Performance Default in which no monetary penalty is specified
in the Performance Standards, all instances that Customer knows or should have
known, without independent inquiry, that CSG has failed to correct the
Performance Default within the cure period specified in the applicable
Performance Standard. Any obligation of CSG contained in the Performance
Standards that Customer knows or should have known, without independent inquiry,
and not reported by Customer as provided hereunder shall be deemed accepted by
Customer. For any Performance Default indicated on Attachment 3 providing for
the Performance Default to be noted without monetary penalty, to the extent such
are instances are known or should have been known to Customer, without
independent inquiry, Customer will raise at the monthly meeting contemplated
under Section 37, and may take such Performance Default into account by Customer
in exercising its termination rights pursuant to Section 17(d).
42. ACCEPTANCE TESTING. CSG will make available to Customer at least two (2)
methods of testing and accepting Enhancements and Updates to ACSR and Updates to
the CCS Services. The first method will provide a test prior to implementation
whereby Customer would be afforded access to a test region on the mainframe to
enter transactions and review output. CSG will, at no cost to Customer and no
later than March 31, 1998, provide Customer with a designated test region to be
used solely by Customer. In the event that material defects are found, the code
will be corrected prior to implementing the code into the production
environment. Secondly, for features that are parameter driven, Customer may
choose to turn such features on in one or two more System Sites, or within the
Customer production test system to beta test the feature and ensure it meets the
quality standards required by the Master Agreement. If defects are uncovered,
CSG will repair such defects and provide any recovery services. Once testing is
complete, functionality may then be made available to all Customer System Sites;
provided, however, that subject to Attachment 3, CSG may implement Enhancements
and Updates to ACSR and Updates to the CCS Services prior to the completion of
testing if CSG needs to implement such Enhancements and Updates for all of its
customers. If System Site testing is not possible, CSG and Customer will
participate in a conference call pursuant to Section 37.

43. ELECTRONIC EXCHANGE OF DATA. CSG will provide data electronically via the
current methods supported for the fees as outlined in this Master Agreement.
Should Customer require an additional method not currently supported by CSG,
Customer will use the Statement Of Work process outlined in this Master
Agreement to request this additional method.
44. PAY PER VIEW LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Master Agreement and except for claims, damages, losses or expenses incurred by
Customer relating to Infringement Actions, CSG's total liability for any and all
claims, damages, losses or expenses incurred by Customer solely because of CSG's
processing of pay per view information shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)

from breach of its obligations with respect to the pay per view services offered
under this Master Agreement, including loss of revenue, if such can be obtained
on commercially reasonable terms and conditions. CSG and Customer shall equally
share and be responsible for the cost of such insurance. CSG's liability under
this Section shall be expressly limited to those amounts that are actually
insured pursuant to any applicable CSG policy(ies). If applicable insurance
cannot be procured with terms, conditions and prices mutually satisfactory to
Customer and CSG (such agreement and consent thereto not to be unreasonably
withheld by either party), then the parties agree that CSG's sole liability and
Customer's sole remedy for processing pay per view events shall be governed by
Attachment 3 to this Master Agreement.
45. PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE BY CUSTOMER. Subject to the approval by Customer's
Board of Directors, TCI Communications, Inc., or a substitute guarantor
reasonably acceptable to CSG, shall guarantee the performance of Customer of its

FDT DISASTER RECOVERY MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
----------------------------------------
The management of First Data Corporation is committed to the implementation of a
reliable contingency plan, and has authorized funding of the plan described
here. This contingency plan should, in concept and as verified through yearly
tests, demonstrate First Data's determination and ability to recover from any
event or disaster that would incapacitate the First Data Technologies (FDT) Host
Data Center for an extended period of time. FDT currently supports 5 clients:
HBO&C - Health care billing provider
TSSG - Mutual funds processor
TPS - Payment processor
EFTPS - Electronic Federal Tax Payment System
CSG Inc. - Cable TV billing to 17MM subscribers
It is FDT's commitment to recover the Data Centers production environment within
the given time for its clients. Listed below are the products which are covered
in this plan with the required time to turn the systems over to each client is:
HBO&C 18 Hours - Client base 2
TSSG 20 Hours - Dreyfus
IPS 20 Hours - Cash Management, MoneyGram, MoneyOrder/Official
Check, Utility Xxxx
EFTPS 20 Hours - Entire product
CSG Inc. 16 Hours - CCS (cable product), SMS (Prodigy), TVRO (TV
Receive Only)
The differences in recovery time for FDT is due to the amount of effort put into
each client is different. The required tasks are outlined in a later section of
this plan. After the systems are turned over to each client, they must perform
their recovery tasks as it relates to forward recovery, system validation and
testing. The FDT clients commitment to their clients to have the systems up and
functioning is:
HBO&C 10-30 Days
TSSG 24 Hours
IPS 24 Hours
EFTPS 24 Hours
CSG Inc. 48 Hours
The FDT Host Data Center Contingency Plan for Disaster Recovery provides for
the processing of client critical business workload at the Comdisco Recovery
Center in North Bergen, New Jersey, using off site backup copies of critical
application systems data sets. The current capacity of the Comdisco facility is
sufficient for us to run the critical jobs of our clients for the first six
weeks.
As soon as processing is established at Comdisco, a determination will be made
as to whether additional equipment will be needed at the North Bergen site to
adequately handle longer term load requirements. Extra data storage devices,
tape drives, communication gear, and even central processing mainframes (CPUs)
can be acquired and installed in a matter of hours or days to handle the
anticipated load during a protracted remote-processing period.

------------
Operation of the Comdisco remote facility will be handled entirely by our FDT
personnel. A Hotsite Restoration Team (HRT), composed of specialists in each of
six functional areas, will travel to North Bergen at the earliest opportunity to
set up the normal FDC Host Data Center environment. The HRT will then operate
the Comdisco data center for approximately the first 24 hours and be relieved by
a second wave of FDC personnel who will take over. The HRT has practiced its
recovery procedures several times, and conducts "disaster recovery tests" once a
year to maintain and improve its proficiency.
Experience has shown that using Comdisco for a backup facility is an economical,
clean, and easily managed solution that eliminates conflict of interest
situations. Our experience with them to date has been very satisfactory, and
they continue to increase their capacity to handle our large data processing
requirements.
Listed below is a summary of actions which the details are contained in FDC's
plan:
- Operations Manager contacts the Executive Vice President of Data Center
Operations that a potential disaster has occurred
- The EVP will contact all direct reports and the Disaster Recovery
Coordinator
- The team will perform a damage assessment and report a recommendation
- If the recommendation is to declare a disaster, the EVP must contact the
Executive Vice President of FDC for approval
- Declare disaster by contacting the hotsite and offsite vendors
- Notify and mobilize teams to appropriate locations
- Ship all required documentation and system tapes to the hotsite
- Reload system at hotsite by restoring system software and customer data
- Activate backup Telecommunications lines and make necessary
hardware/software connections
- Activate CICS/DB2/IDMS regions and perform required operational functions
- Notify clients that the production environment is available for
processing
- If necessary, prepare to utilize coldsite if outage is greater than 6 weeks
- Order, install, and test hardware at coldsite
- Migrate Data Center to coldsite
- Rebuild Denver Data Center by ordering, installing, and testing hardware
at the Denver location
- Migrate Data Center to Denver location
- Write Management summary

CONTINGENCY BACKUP PLAN
-----------------------
Executive Summary Plan. CSG Systems has developed a Contingency Backup Plan with
First Data Resources (FDR) in Omaha, NE. In the event of a disaster to CSG's
production facility, CSG will contact FDR Customer Support Center for
declaration. They will, in turn, notify FDR's Card Product Services Group
(CPSG) - Output Services facility. Output Services will be ready to
accommodate CSG Systems within 24 hours after CSG has supplied contractual
verbal and written notification. CSG will notify vendors to obtain forms and
materials for transport to FDR's Output Services facility.
CSG Systems is a customer of First Data Technologies (FDT) Data Center in
Denver. FDT Denver transmits CSG's statement data to Omaha for printing. In
the event of a disaster FDT Denver will transfer CSG's statement information to
tape and coordinate delivery of those tapes to another First Data Technologies
data center in Omaha. The tapes are loaded to the mainframe and spooled to FDR
Output Services facility.
FDR Output Services will use all available CSG customized statement forms. CSG
may elect to use the generic forms, as necessary. During a disaster mode CSG
will be inserting a generic remit envelope only into the statements, no xxxx
stuffers or inserts. FDR Output Services will complete processing of
statements for CSG Systems within 7 calendar days from date of receipt.
CSG will notify clients 24 hours after FDR Output Services has been notified.

4. USE. Customer may use the CCS Products only in object code form on the
workstations set forth on Exhibit C-1 and in the Designated Environment and at
the System Sites in the United States, and only for the term set forth below,
and only for Customer's own internal purposes and business operations with the
CCS Services for providing accounting and billing services to its video
subscribers. In addition to the Incorporated Third Party Software, if third
party products are provided to Customer as part of the CCS Products, by opening
the package containing the third party product or downloading it, Customer
agrees to be bound by the terms of the third party's standard license. Customer
will not use the CCS Products to provide any such service to or on behalf of any
third parties in a service bureau capacity and will not permit any other person
to use the CCS Products, whether on a time-sharing, remote job entry or other
multiple user arrangement. Customer will not install the Software or
Enhancements on a network or other multi-user computer system unless otherwise
specified in the Exhibits to this Schedule, in which case the Designated
Environment may be used to provide database or file services to other of
Customer's computers across the network, up to the number of workstations
specified in Exhibit C-1. Backup and recovery plans or backup and recovery for
the Products shall be Customer's responsibility for any data located on
Customer's local server. Any Customer documents, data and files are and shall
remain Customer's property; and therefore, Customer is solely responsible for
its own backup and recovery plan(s) for its data stored on Customer's local
server. Customer may make only one back-up archival copy of the Software or
Enhancements. CSG shall be responsible for backup and recovery of any Customer
data that resides at CSG's data processing center. Customer will reproduce all
confidentiality and proprietary notices on each of these copies and maintain an

5. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT.
(a) Standard Support Services. Following expiration of the Warranty Period, CSG
-------------------------
will provide Customer the support and maintenance of the then-current version of
each licensed CCS Product as described on Exhibit C-3 (the "Support Services").
Customer agrees to pay the fees set forth in Schedule D, which are identified in
-----------
Schedule D as maintenance fees, for the Support Services for the term of this
Master Agreement. Included in the Support Services is support of the then-
current version of the licensed CCS Products via CSG's Product Support Center,
Account Management, publication updates, and the fixes and updates that CSG may
make generally available as part of its maintenance and support packages (the
"Updates"). The Support Services do not include maintenance and support of the
Incorporated Third Party Software, if any, or any other third party software.
The maintenance and support for third party products is provided by the licensor
of those products. Although CSG may assist in this maintenance and support with
front-line support, CSG will have no liability with respect thereto and Customer
must look solely to the licensor.
(b) Additional Support. At Customer's request, CSG may agree to provide at its
------------------
then current rates additional Support Services or other support, including but
not limited to, the optional support services listed on Exhibit C-3. If Customer
is not utilizing the CCS Products in a certified Designated Environment or
Customer has added third party applications, the Customer will be responsible
for making all necessary modifications to such third party applications to
ensure they function properly with the Updates.
(c) Limitation. Updates or Enhancements in this Schedule C will not include
---------- ----------
any upgrade or new version of the CCS Products that CSG decides, in its sole
discretion, (which does not replace functionality previously provided in the
base processing or other fee) to make generally available as a separately priced
item. This Schedule C will not require CSG to (i) develop and release Updates
----------
or Enhancements (ii) customize the Updates or Enhancements to satisfy Customer's
particular requests or (iii) obtain Updates or Enhancements to any third party
product. If an Update or Enhancement replaces the prior version of the CCS
Product, Customer will destroy such prior version and all archival copies upon
installing the Update or Enhancement.
6. Term. This Schedule C shall be effective from the Effective Date as defined
----------
in the Master Agreement and shall continue thereafter indefinitely unless
terminated pursuant to Sections 17 of the Master Agreement.

LICENSED SOFTWARE:
------------------
ACSR Telephony -
ACSR Telephony is offered with ACSR to provide customer management for telephone
customers. With ACSR Telephony, both video and telephone services may be
managed by a single customer management package. Included in ACSR Telephony are
integrated ordering and manual provisioning, telephone number assignment, usage
billing for a single xxxx of multiple products, product packaging and pricing.
ACSR Telephony software also supports Customer requested development or APIs to
provide interfaces for E911, directory listing updates, CARE and service number
portability as well as other third party provider interfaces.
CSG VANTAGE -
Vantage is a database which enables Customer to evaluate product and service
performance, conduct customer analysis and lifetime values, and transform raw
data into real-time reports and graphs.
ADVANCED CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE (ACSR) -
ACSR is a graphical user interface for CSG's CCS service bureau subscriber
management system. ACSR significantly reduces training time and eliminates the
need for CSR's to memorize transactions and codes. CSRs instead are allowed
easily to access reference tools, help screens and customer data. As companies
consolidate and cluster disparate systems with different codes and procedures,
ACSR ensures the accounts can be serviced by the same CSR. ACSR also enables
CSR's to communicate with one another through a self contained messaging system.
ACSR is designed so that module based functionality such as CIT can be added as
needed.
COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT) -
Computer Based Training ("CBT") is Software which may be downloaded onto
Customer's workstation to provide training and instruction on use of various CCS
Products.

USING VANTAGE IN THE ACSR AND/OR ACSR TELEPHONY PRODUCT ENVIRONMENT
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The ACSR product runs on an IP LAN with a SUN Server. A Brixton gateway on the
SUN Server is used to provide the Vantage Host link. When running Vantage in
that environment, Brixton TN3270 applications run on the SUN Server and
Extra! Mainframe for Windows is configured for a TN3270 network connection
versus an SAA or SNA gateway. In this environment, the version of Extra! is
dependent on the client-specific method of connectivity in relation to
EDA/Client.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. If the Vantage PC will be used in the ACSR environment, the ACSR PC
Workstation Requirements should be used for both Vantage and ACSR. Vantage
will only operate on a PC workstation.
2. The designated version of EDA/Client is dependent on the client-specific
method of connectivity. Contact CSG for more information.
3. The designated version of Attachmate's Extra! Is dependent on the client-
specific network configuration and the version of EDA/Client. Contact CSG
for more information.

PRODUCT SUPPORT CENTER FOR THE CCS PRODUCTS - PRIORITY LEVELS - (excluding
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vantage)
--------
(Note: for Vantage support detail - see page 4 of Exhibit C-3)
--------------------------------------------------------------
When contacting the PRODUCT SUPPORT CENTER, the caller should be prepared to
provide detailed information regarding the problem and the impact on the
operation and the end user. Each problem or question is assigned a tracking
number and a priority. The priority is set to correspond with the urgency of
the problem. It is very important that the customer describe the urgency of the
problem when it is reported. The priority levels are described below:
. CRITICAL (PRIORITY 1): Complete loss of functionality, system outage or down
production system. Customers cannot access the system, cannot perform any
function due to the hardware being down, are experiencing network control or
communication problems, or are unable to process. The customer will receive
immediate response and prioritized at the highest level. Once control has
been regained, efforts are then made to determine the "root cause" of the
problem. Considering the nature of the cause, the problem is adjusted to one
of the other priorities and processed accordingly. While a Critical (Priority
1) problem exists, the Product Support Center commitment is to provide
around-the-clock support until customers system/network/application is
restored to operational status.
. SERIOUS (PRIORITY 2): Partial loss of functionality, or loss of critical
functionality. The Customer's production/processing system is not down but
there is an impact within the system/network. The Customer will receive
immediate response. If the problem persists, the control of the network may
be lost and/or end-user impacts may become serious. The Customer will receive
immediate response. The Product Support Center's goal is to ensure that
control of the system is not jeopardized and to work with Customer to gather
information in order to resolve the issue. The Product Support Center
allocates resources during normal business hours until a permanent solution
is found.
. OPERATIONAL (PRIORITY 3): Partial loss of functionality loss of non-critical
functionality, or loss of critical functionality for which a work around
exists. The problem is within the customers' operations environment. The user
is attempting to utilize a CSG product and is having difficulty completing
the process. A user may be a CSR, subscriber, or the Customer's operation
staff running the system. CSG's Product Support Center goal is to respond the
next business days.
. INCONVENIENCE OR ENHANCEMENT (PRIORITY 4): Inconvenience or loss of
functionality for which a work-around solution exists, or enhancement request
is required. The problem is an operator inconvenience, an enhancement, or the
Customer have requested information. There is no serious impact to the end
user of the system. The problem can be avoided by proper operator action,
internal training by the customer, or a work-

EXHIBIT C-3 (Page 3 of 4)
around solution. There is no apparent danger of losing control of the system,
network, application or data because of this type of problem. A suggestion or
request for enhancement is based upon the problem, concern or business need.
The Product Support Center's goal is to provide a correction through internal
software control procedures. CSG's Product Support Center goal is to respond
within (3) business days.
. INFORMATIONAL (PRIORITY 5):
This category also includes questions. The Product Support Center is
committed to responding with the requested information within (5) business
days. Software correction notification may be sent to the customer shortly
after the correction has been made by our development engineers. At times,
a work-around may be suggested if:
. Its delivery is more timely
. Its implementation is less complex
. Its reliability is more certain
However, a work around must be mutually acceptable to our Customers, and it
must have the effect of reducing the concern until a permanent resolution
can be determined. Should the Customer wish to check the status of a
problem they may contact the Product Support Center desk representatives or
their Account Manager. In either case, the customer should reference the
tracking number.
Customer may request to have the priority of Customer's call upgraded. Customer
may check on the status of such request at any time by calling the Product
Support Center or contacting Customer's account manager. The account manager is
responsible for problem escalation to the appropriate level of management if
Customer is not satisfied with a response.

EXHIBIT E-1 (PAGE 1 OF 3)
PRODUCT SCHEDULE
----------------
CSG VANTAGEPOINT SOFTWARE (MODULE DEFINITIONS): TBD
---------------------------------
1. VANTAGEPOINT MODEL
The VantagePoint Model is a telecommunications business model in pictorial
representation of the significant business items, the business relationships
between them and the attributes which describe each of the business items. The
model has been architected to store data from multiple sources, these sources
include the CCS billing system, Phoenix, 3rd party billing systems, operational
data and metagraphic data. The VantagePoint logical model has then been
converted to a physical implementation for a relational database environment and
is optimally tuned for the Oracle RDBMS.
2. VANTAGEPOINT CONVERSION ENGINE
The Conversion Engine provides the functionality necessary to move data from an
existing database into VantagePoint. Initially, all selected data from the
client's existing database will be loaded into the VantagePoint. Subsequently,
an incremental update will load data into VantagePoint on a nightly basis.
3. VANTAGEPOINT MARKETING ANALYSIS SYSTEM
The Marketing Analysis System (MAS) is a tool which provides users the
capability to view data with complex relationships among several dimensions. It
also sorts, forecasts, tracks trends and performs other complex analyses.
Finally, it lets users move from one query to another and get results quickly
and easily. A Multidimensional Database (MDD) is an alternative way of
organizing summary data for business intelligence. Data is organized in
dimensions and measures by time providing a better way to represent a business
view of data. This process provides marketers with the ability to perform
profiling, view market segments and with answers to marketing types of "what-
if" scenarios.
4. VANTAGEPOINT CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The VantagePoint Campaign Management System (CMS) is a custom designed marketing
strategy tool which provides a platform for marketers to create, manage and
track marketing Campaigns and Campaign Cells. The Campaign Management System
allows the creation of marketing segments based on demographic and performance
data in the VantagePoint data warehouse and allows customers and prospects to be
assigned to many marketing segments. Additionally, the system provides
facilities for tracking budget and actual expenses, as well as revenues.
5. VANTAGEPOINT ENHANCED STATEMENT PRESENTATION MESSAGELINK
The VantagePoint Enhanced Statement Presentation (ESP) MessageLink is a unique
set of software utilities which allow the user to add messages to statements,
notices, reports, and other hard copy output without requiring any software
development. While ESP is an existing mainframe application, ESP Integration
has been developed for use in conjunction with the VantagePoint Campaign
Management System application.
6. VANTAGEPOINT ADDRESS MERGE (ADDRESS STANDARDIZATION)
The VantagePoint Address Merge routine validates that the address data within
the VantagePoint data warehouse conform to United States Postal Service codes.
Invalid addresses are identified within the system and are selected out of the
data warehouse for clean up.
7. VANTAGEPOINT EXECUTIVE INFORMATION SYSTEM (EIS)
The EIS presents high-level key performance indicators to executive and senior
management. ABS will conduct interviews of the customer to obtain critical
success factors and their associated key performance indicators (e.g., revenue,
churn, network quality, etc.). Typically there are about seven key performance
indicators but no more than nine with clear and concise definitions provided by
the customer. The user interface is very intuitive and is based on displaying
the data using geographic map displays that show performance in pre-defined
areas and regions. The interface supports "drill down" capabilities within
regions and can display a range of qualitative data that can be quickly accessed
at any level of the geographic hierarchy. The EIS is not intended to provide
access to detail data nor does it provide ad hoc query capabilities.

8. VANTAGEPOINT PREDICTIVE MODELING*
The emerging telecommunications marketplace will be characterized by rapid
introductions of new promotions and marketing campaigns and entry into new
geographic areas and markets. The data warehouse contains information necessary
to evaluate campaigns and to identify the best targets for new campaigns. The
Market Analysis System provides a foundation for qualitative analysis of the
effectiveness of campaigns and products. The predictive modeling system
provides for qualitative analyses. The predictive modeling system integrates a
neural network modeling tool with the data warehouse to create formal
statistical models. The predictive modeling tool can be used to create response
models (e.g., identify individuals most likely to respond to a promotion) or
performance models (e.g., lifetime value). The predictive modeling system
creates scoring algorithms that can be applied to the entire data warehouse.
The predictive model creates a set of "lift" reports that are useful for
determining the effectiveness of campaigns and promotions.

EXHIBIT Q-2 (Page 2 of 3)
PRODUCT SUPPORT CENTER FOR ISP DOMAIN - PRIORITY LEVELS
--------------------------------------------------------
When contacting the PRODUCT SUPPORT CENTER, the caller should be prepared to
provide detailed information regarding the problem and the impact on the
operation and the end user. Each problem or question is assigned a tracking
number and a priority. The priority is set to correspond with the urgency of
the problem. It is very important that the customer describe the urgency of the
problem when it is reported. The priority levels are described below:
* CRITICAL (PRIORITY 1): Complete loss of functionality, system outage or down
production system. Customers cannot access the system, cannot perform any
function due to the hardware being down, are experiencing network control or
communication problems, or are unable to process. The customer will receive
immediate response and prioritized at the highest level. Once control has
been regained, efforts are then made to determine the "root cause" of the
problem. Considering the nature of the cause, the problem is adjusted to one
of the other priorities and processed accordingly. While a Critical (Priority
1) problem exists, the Product Support Center commitment is to provide
around-the-clock support until customers system/network/application is
restored to operational status.
* SERIOUS (PRIORITY 2): Partial loss of functionality, or loss of critical
functionality. The Customer's production/processing system is not down but
there is an impact within the system/network. The Customer will receive
immediate response. If the problem persists, the control of the network may
be lost and/or end-user impacts may become serious. The Customer will receive
immediate response. The Product Support Center's goal is to ensure that
control of the system is not jeopardized and to work with Customer to gather
information in order to resolve the issue. The Product Support Center
allocates resources during normal business hours until a permanent solution
is found.
* OPERATIONAL (PRIORITY 3): Partial loss of functionality loss of non-critical
functionality, or loss of critical functionality for which a work around
exists. The problem is within the customers' operations environment. The user
is attempting to utilize a CSG product and is having difficulty completing
the process. A user may be a CSR, subscriber, or the Customer's operation
staff running the system. CSG's Product Support Center goal is to respond the
next business day.
* INCONVENIENCE OR ENHANCEMENT (PRIORITY 4): Inconvenience or loss of
functionality for which a work-around solution exists, or enhancement request
is required. The problem is an operator inconvenience, an enhancement, or the
Customer have requested information. There is no serious impact to the end
user of the system. The problem can be avoided by proper operator action,
internal training by the customer, or a work-around solution. There is no
apparent danger of losing control of the system, network, application or data
because of this type of problem. A suggestion or request for enhancement is
based upon the problem, concern or business need. The Product Support
Center's goal is to provide a correction through internal software control
procedures. CSG's Product Support Center goal is to respond within (3)
business days.
* INFORMATIONAL (PRIORITY 5):
This category also includes questions. The Product Support Center is
committed to responding with the requested information within (5) business
days. Software correction notification may be sent to the customer shortly
after the correction has been made by our development engineers. At times,
a work-around may be suggested if:
* Its delivery is more timely
* Its implementation is less complex
* Its reliability is more certain

EXHIBIT Q-2 (PAGE 3 OF 3)
However, a work around must be mutually acceptable to our Customers, and it
must have the effect of reducing the concern until a permanent resolution
can be determined. Should the Customer wish to check the status of a
problem they may contact the Product Support Center desk representatives or
their Account Manager. In either case, the customer should reference the
tracking number.
Customer may request to have the priority of Customer's call upgraded. Customer
may check on the status of such request at any time by calling the Product
Support Center or contacting Customer's account manager. The account manager is
responsible for problem escalation to the appropriate level of management if
Customer is not satisfied with a response.

PRODUCT SUPPORT CENTER FOR THE USAGE HANDLING SYSTEM - PRIORITY LEVELS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When contacting the PRODUCT SUPPORT CENTER, the caller should be prepared to
provide detailed information regarding the problem and the impact on the
operation and the end user. Each problem or question is assigned a tracking
number and a priority. The priority is set to correspond with the urgency of
the problem. It is very important that the customer describe the urgency of the
problem when it is reported. The priority levels are described below:
* CRITICAL (PRIORITY 1): Complete loss of functionality, system outage or down
production system. Customers cannot access the system, cannot perform any
function due to the hardware being down, are experiencing network control or
communication problems, or are unable to process. The customer will receive
immediate response and prioritized at the highest level. Once control has
been regained, efforts are then made to determine the "root cause" of the
problem. Considering the nature of the cause, the problem is adjusted to one
of the other priorities and processed accordingly. While a Critical (Priority
1) problem exists, the Product Support Center commitment is to provide
around-the-clock support until customers system/network/application is
restored to operational status.
* SERIOUS (PRIORITY 2): Partial loss of functionality, or loss of critical
functionality. The Customer's production/processing system is not down but
there is an impact within the system/network. The Customer will receive
immediate response. If the problem persists, the control of the network may
be lost and/or end-user impacts may become serious. The Customer will receive
immediate response. The Product Support Center's goal is to ensure that
control of the system is not jeopardized and to work with Customer to gather
information in order to resolve the issue. The Product Support Center
allocates resources during normal business hours until a permanent solution
is found.
* OPERATIONAL (PRIORITY 3): Partial loss of functionality loss of non-critical
functionality, or loss of critical functionality for which a work around
exists. The problem is within the customers' operations environment. The user
is attempting to utilize a CSG product and is having difficulty completing
the process. A user may be a CSR, subscriber, or the Customer's operation
staff running the system. CSG's Product Support Center goal is to respond the
next business day.
* INCONVENIENCE OR ENHANCEMENT (PRIORITY 4): Inconvenience or loss of
functionality for which a work-around solution exists, or enhancement request
is required. The problem is an operator inconvenience, an enhancement, or the
Customer have requested information. There is no serious impact to the end
user of the system. The problem can be avoided by proper operator action,
internal training by the customer, or a work-around solution. There is no
apparent danger of losing control of the system, network, application or data
because of this type of problem. A suggestion or request for enhancement is
based upon the problem, concern or business need. The Product Support
Center's goal is to provide a correction through internal software control
procedures. CSG's Product Support Center goal is to respond within (3)
business days.
* INFORMATIONAL (PRIORITY 5):
This category also includes questions. The Product Support Center is
committed to responding with the requested information within (5) business
days. Software correction notification may be sent to the customer shortly
after the correction has been made by our development engineers. At times,
a work-around may be suggested if:
* Its delivery is more timely
* Its implementation is less complex
* Its reliability is more certain

However, a work around must be mutually acceptable to our Customers, and it
must have the effect of reducing the concern until a permanent resolution
can be determined. Should the Customer wish to check the status of a
problem they may contact the Product Support Center desk representatives or
their Account Manager. In either case, the customer should reference the
tracking number.
Customer may request to have the priority of Customer's call upgraded. Customer
may check on the status of such request at any time by calling the Product
Support Center or contacting Customer's account manager. The account manager is
responsible for problem escalation to the appropriate level of management if
Customer is not satisfied with a response.
