*********** ** ******** ******* *******]. The license granted in this Section 2.2(b) is expressly limited to the number of workstations, servers or users (as the case may be) identified on Schedule F or other writing signed by both CSG and Customer.

Subject to the requirements in Section 2.4 and 2.8, Customer may permit its Agents to access and use the License Software solely to support Customer’s [******** ******** **********] and only on workstations that are owned or leased by Customer or are operated on behalf of Customer.
(c) Customer shall not be charged license fees for Products purchased pursuant to the Original Agreement or other agreements for which they have previously been invoiced and have already paid the applicable fees to CSG. Customer shall reproduce all confidentiality and proprietary notices on all copies of the [**** ******* ********] and License Software that Customer is authorized to make under this Section 2.2. Nothing in this Agreement will entitle Customer to receive the source code of the Software or Updates, in whole or in part, except as expressly contemplated in Sections 2.9 and 2.10. The licenses granted in this Section 2.2 are exclusive of any identified Third Party Software that may be required to operate the Products or Recurring Services, all of which as of the Effective Date are listed in the Designated Environment, and Customer agrees to be solely responsible for procuring such Third Party Software, either from CSG (if available) or directly from the third party vendor. All Third Party Software provided by CSG as of the Effective Date is listed in Schedule F.
. “Designated Environment,” means the then-current combination of other computer programs and hardware equipment that CSG specifies for use by all of its customers with the Products and Services as set forth on CSG’s customer extranet website (xxxxx://xx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx), which can be accessed by Customer upon request, or otherwise approved by CSG in writing for Customer’s use of the Products and Services at the System Sites. Customer (or any third parties permitted in accordance with Section 2.8) may use the Products only in the then-current Designated Environment; provided, however, that CSG will provide to Customer no less than [******** **** ******] prior written notice for any changes to the hardware and/or software in the Designated Environment solely related to (a) the operating system, or (b) CSG’s Products or Services that are under CSG’s sole and exclusive control, and to the extent applicable, CSG will provide to Customer prior written notice as soon as reasonably practicable for any other changes to the hardware and/or software in the Designated Environment. With respect to any other hardware and/or software identified in the Designated Environment that is licensed by CSG from a third party, CSG shall continue to include such hardware and/or software in the Designated Environment until such products are no longer supported by such third party. CSG shall promptly notify Customer upon learning that a third party vendor will cease supporting any particular hardware or software. CSG shall give [****** **** ******** *****] prior written notice to Customer of changes to the Designated Environment that do not require Customer or its Connected Subscribers to upgrade its computer programs or hardware equipment and will notify Customer in writing of changes that would necessitate training of Customer’s customer service representatives at least [****** **** ****] prior to the implementation of the change. In cases where CSG becomes aware that Customer is not operating its hardware or software in conformance with the Designated Environment, CSG will notify Customer (via e-mail to a Senior Vice President of Customer’s Billing Strategy and Operations) of its knowledge of such nonconformance and support the Products within the non-compliant environment; however, the Parties agree that: (i) any support offered with respect to hardware or software operating outside the Designated Environment will be limited to the extent that the manufacturer or vendor of the hardware or software continues to provide general support for such hardware or software versions; and (ii) although CSG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Support Services, CSG shall not be subject to damages that are directly related to malfunctions of the Products caused by Customer’s use of the Products in such noncompliant environment. Customer further agrees that CSG will not have any responsibility or liability in connection with malfunctions or any damage resulting from any modifications to the Products not authorized by CSG. If Customer questions the necessity of upgrading to any new Designated Environment as requested by CSG, CSG shall meet with Customer to discuss the proposed changes in an effort to reach mutual agreement on the minimal level of changes to Customer’s equipment that are necessary. The Parties will have quarterly meetings among technical personnel. Such meetings will include discussions of potential changes in the Designated Environment.
(a) Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, Customer agrees that it shall not: (i) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any Product or Service; (ii) sell, lease, license or sublicense any Product or Service; (iii) publish or disclose to any third party any results of benchmark tests on the Product; (iv) create, write or develop any derivative software or in any way alter or modify the source code of any of the Products; (v) use the Products or Services to provide any service to or on behalf of any third parties in a service bureau capacity, except to Affiliates of Customer; (vi) use, or permit any other person to use, the Products or Services to provide any service to, on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any unrelated third party; (vii) permit any other person to use the Products or Services, whether on a time-sharing, remote job entry or other multiple user arrangement; or (viii) install the Software, Update or Deliverable on a network or other multi-user computer system except as specified in the then current Documentation for the particular Software. If an end user of the Software and its related Documentation is an agency, department, or other entity of the United States Government (“Government”), then use, duplication or disclosure by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies of the Software and its related Documentation is subject to restrictions set forth the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation clause at Defense Federal Acquisition Supplement (“DFARS”) 227.7202 and/or the Commercial Computer Software Restricted Rights clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) 52.227.19(c). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the restrictions set forth above in subparagraphs (v)-(vii) and the limitation of use for Customer’s [*** ******** ******** *** ******** **********] contained in Section 2.2(a)(ii)(A) shall not apply with regard to third parties purchasing any of Customer’s cable systems, and not a Successor Entity (an “Acquiring Entity”), who may use and receive Products and Services pursuant to an interim agreement (the “Interim Agreement”) provided that Customer provides written notice of the foregoing, introduces CSG to the Acquiring Entity for marketing purposes, and provides to CSG the Interim Agreement within [****** **** ****] of Customer’s execution for CSG’s execution of the Interim Agreement, which execution will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Customer and the Acquiring Entity will be bound by the Interim Agreement as to use of the Products and Services for transferred Subscribers and CSG’s execution of the Interim Agreement will not be necessary if (x) CSG fails or refuses to execute such Interim Agreement within [********** **** ****] after its receipt of a request therefor and (y) such Interim Agreement is in the form included in Schedule N, without modification. CSG agrees to reasonably cooperate with Customer and the Acquiring Entity in connection with their respective execution and delivery of the Interim Agreement, including the prompt delivery to Customer and the Acquiring Entity of all documents referred to and/or incorporated in the Interim Agreement as provided in Schedule N. Subject to the foregoing, CSG is under no obligation and has no responsibility to accommodate the transfer of any subscribers from the Customer to the Acquiring Entity until the Interim Agreement has been fully executed by all Parties. [******* under the Interim Agreement shall be ** **** than the ****] set forth in Schedule F of this Agreement. Nothing in the preceding sentence will prohibit Customer from charging a bundled rate for transition services provided to the Acquiring Entity, provided that such bundled rate is [** **** than the ****] set forth in Schedule F of this Agreement.
(b) Compliance with Export Controls.
(i) Unless otherwise provided in this paragraph, Xxxxxxxx agrees that it shall not transfer CSG Products and Services to any foreign jurisdiction. Further, CSG and Customer acknowledge that there are U.S. export control laws and regulations that prohibit or restrict (A) transactions with certain parties, (B) the type and level of technologies and services that may be exported, and (C) the conduct of transactions involving foreign parties. Such laws include, without limitation, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Export Administration Act, the Arms Export Control Act, the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, and all regulations issued pursuant to these and other applicable U.S. laws (the “Export Laws”). CSG agrees that it will be solely responsible for, in compliance with the applicable Export Laws, providing all notices to, making all filings with, and reasonably cooperate with Customer in efforts to obtain any licenses and/or license exceptions (for Export Approved Products) from, any U.S. governmental authority that may be required with respect to the provision to Customer of the Products or Services as contemplated under the terms of this Agreement. In connection therewith, CSG has or may obtain an export classification for one or more of the Export Approved Products identified in Schedule I, which schedule may be amended at any time by mutual agreement of the Parties, and shall (1) exercise commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such export classification for such Products, as well as to obtain and maintain any export classification required for any modifications, updates, or any future versions of the Products that are licensed to Customer and (2)
CSG shall provide prompt notice to Customer in the event that any export classification related to any Export Approved Products is terminated, revoked, suspended, or challenged or CSG takes any action with respect to an existing export classification or applies for an export classification for any of the Products licensed to Customer.
(ii) Customer will be solely responsible for its compliance with the applicable Export Laws in connection with Customer’s and/or an Outsource Vendor’s use of the Products and Services under this Agreement. With respect to any obligation of Customer to comply with applicable Export Laws, CSG agrees to provide reasonable assistance to Customer by providing all necessary information, documentation, materials and technical data regarding the Products and Services to Customer, promptly upon Customer’s request, where Customer reasonably determines that its receipt of such information, documentation, materials and/or technical data regarding the Products and/or Services is necessary in order to enable it to comply with applicable Export Laws. “Outsource Vendor” shall mean third party service providers of Customer located in any foreign country listed on Schedule I.
(iii) CSG currently approves the transfer by Customer or its Outsource Vendors of the Export Approved Products to the Export Approved Countries described on Schedule I. Customer and its Outsource Vendors currently store object code versions of the Export Approved Products and use such versions in the Export Approved Countries marked with an asterisk on Schedule I. Customer and its Outsource Vendors will not transfer any version of the Export Approved Products to any foreign jurisdiction other than the Export Approved Countries described on Schedule I, except in accordance with the following procedure:
(A) Customer may request approval to transfer of Export Approved Products to a foreign jurisdiction other than an Export Approved Country by providing commercially reasonable prior written notice to CSG;
(B) CSG’s approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that CSG may condition such approval on the indemnification by Customer for any material expense or liability incurred by CSG arising directly from such transfer and Customer may not transfer any Export Approved Products to any approved foreign jurisdiction until a reasonable period of time has passed during which CSG has a full and fair opportunity to secure enforceable rights to its intellectual property in such jurisdiction;
(C) For purposes of this Section 2.4(b)(iii) a “material expense or liability” is any reasonable cost arising from activities undertaken by CSG in the foreign jurisdiction to secure enforceable rights to the intellectual property embedded in the Export Approved Product in such jurisdiction that is reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, [**** ******** ******* ***********]; and
(D) Any foreign jurisdiction approved under this Section 2.4(b)(iii) will thereafter be deemed an Export Approved Country.
(iv) In the event that either Party receives notice of any claim or allegation by any Government that Customer has violated, in any material respect any Export Law, in connection with its activities under this Agreement, it will provide prompt written notice of such claim or allegation to the other Party. In such event, and upon the written election of CSG, Customer will indemnify CSG for all losses, liability, fines, claims and expenses arising from Customer’s violation of the Export Laws, except to the extent such violation is related to CSG’s negligence or failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or applicable law. Customer will further promptly cure such alleged violation and, to the extent not cured, diligently defend such claim. In the event Customer reasonably determines that its violation cannot be cured through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, it may terminate this Agreement, subject to Customer paying any applicable Termination Liability.
. Customer acknowledges that the Products may incorporate certain Third Party Software and documentation and that Customer’s rights and obligations with respect thereto are subject to any license terms that might accompany such Third Party Software. The fees and payment terms, if any, for such Third Party Software are set forth in Schedule F. CSG makes no warranty and provides no indemnity (except as expressly set forth in Article 7) with respect to any Third Party Software. Maintenance and support for Third Party Software, if any, are provided by the licensor of those
products. Although CSG may assist with front-line support of Third Party Software at its option, CSG offers no warranties with respect to such assistance and Customer must look solely to the third party licensor for warranty-related claims; provided that, to the extent assignable, CSG hereby assigns to Customer all warranty rights it may have with respect to Third Party Software and agrees to the extent applicable to cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Customer in the pursuit of warranty claims against Third Party Software providers; provided that in no event will CSG be required to violate the terms of its reseller arrangements with any Third Party Software vendor. All Third Party Software and other technology necessary for use of the Products and Services are described in the Designated Environment. Nothing herein will prevent Customer from purchasing such Third Party Software and technology directly from third parties.
. CSG may provide Customer with Products and Services subject to patent or copyright licenses or sublicenses that third parties, including Xxxxxx X. Xxxx Technology Licensing, L.P., have granted to CSG (“Third Party Licenses”). Customer acknowledges that Customer receives no express or implied license or other rights under the Third Party Licenses other than the license to use the Products, Third Party Software and Services as provided by CSG in the Designated Environment the broadband cable industry. Any modification of or addition to the Products, Third Party Software or Services or combination or use thereof with other software, hardware or services not made, suggested, provided, or approved in writing by CSG is not licensed under this Agreement, expressly or impliedly, and may subject Customer and any third party supplier or service provider to an infringement claim by a third party. Neither Customer nor any third party will have any express or implied rights under the Third Party Licenses with respect to (i) any software, hardware or services not made, suggested, provided, or approved in writing by CSG or (ii) any product or service provided by Customer other than through the authorized use of the Products, Third Party Software or Services provided, or approved in writing, by CSG.
(a) CSG Property. All trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights in or related to the Products, Third Party Software, or copies thereof (collectively the “Software Products”) are and will remain the exclusive property of CSG or its licensor(s) whether or not specifically recognized or perfected under applicable law. Customer will not knowingly 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 herein and other rights acquired directly from the owners of the Software Products Customer purchases directly from a third party provider as contemplated by Section 2.5.
(b) Customer Property. All documents, data and files necessary to provide billing services to Customer’s subscribers which are provided to CSG hereunder by Customer, including the result of CSG’s processing of the foregoing (“Customer Data”), are and shall remain Customer’s property, and upon request of Customer for any reason or Deconversion of any Connected Subscriber, such Customer Data shall be returned to Customer by CSG provided that Customer will pay all unpaid charges for any Deconverted Connected Subscriber. Customer Data to be returned to Customer includes: Subscriber Master File (including Work Orders, Converters and General Ledger), Computer-Produced Reports (reflecting activity during a period of [****** **** ****] immediately prior to termination), House Master File, and any other related data or files held by CSG on behalf of Customer, all of which will be in its standard deconversion format (including available historical data) unless another format is reasonably requested by Customer. Following the Deconversion of any Connected Subscriber, CSG will maintain the Customer Data with respect to such Deconverted Connected Subscriber for no less than [*********** **** ******] in such format that will permit CSG to comply with this Section 2.7(b). Such Customer Data will be provided subject to CSG’s reasonable, standard fees for such services, or other mutually-agreed fees. Customer Data will not be utilized by CSG for any purpose other than those purposes related to preparing, offering or rendering the Services to Customer under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, CSG may not (a) use Customer Data for any commercial or marketing purposes, (b) otherwise derive, compile, or create from the Customer Data any aggregate, analytical, or derivative data, or (c) sell or disclose Customer Data to a third party.
. CSG consents to the use of the Products and Services by Agents as described in this Article 2, provided that (i) Customer takes reasonably necessary precautions with such Agents to protect the intellectual property rights of CSG’s Software; (ii) such Agents’ use of the Services and Software is strictly in accordance with the limitations contained in this Agreement; and (iii) Customer is responsible for the acts or omissions of such Agents with respect to their use of the Software and, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold CSG harmless against any and all losses and/or damages incurred by CSG that arise directly from such Agents’ use of the Products or Services if (a) such losses or damages are not directly attributable to a breach by CSG of a representation or warranty under this Agreement, and (b) they are damages and/or losses for which Customer is not entitled to indemnification by CSG under this Agreement. In addition to the rights granted herein to Agents, and Customer with respect to Agents, Customer may request CSG to provide other third party access to its CSG system and CSG shall permit such third party access; provided, however, that the third party executes a separate software license, non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement, and/or third party access agreement with CSG which contains commercially reasonable and customary terms and conditions that are no more restrictive than those imposed upon Customer for related purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSG may charge such third party set-up, implementation or related fees and costs associated with such third party access, at the rates provided in this Agreement and as amended. The Parties acknowledge any Agent shall not be considered a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
. In the event that, during the Term, (a) CSG’s overall company credit rating is downgraded to [******] status by any nationally recognized credit rating agency (including S&P, Moody’s or Fitch but excluding Dun & Bradstreet) or, if a public credit rating is not then available, if CSG’s total debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA is in excess of [**** *** **** *** *********** ********] (with total debt being the sum of the short-term and long-term debt amounts, excluding any amounts from lease liabilities, as presented on CSG’s then-current balance sheet divided by the last twelve (12) months (collectively, “Liabilities”) and Adjusted EBITDA as presented in CSG’s quarterly earnings press release), (b) CSG suffers any change, event, or occurrence that (i) has or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate with other changes, events, or occurrences, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, Liabilities, results of operations, or financial condition of CSG, taken as a whole, or (ii) would, individually or in the aggregate with other changes, events, or occurrences, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay, or materially impair the ability of CSG to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or (c) CSG fails to comply with its maintenance and support obligations under this Agreement with respect to [***** *** ** *** *** ****** (the “Covered Products”) and fails to cure such default within ****** **** **** after CSG’s receipt of notice thereof from Customer, then within ******* **** ****] of Customer’s written direction CSG will, at its sole cost and expense, place all source code and applicable documentation related to the Covered Products (“Deposit Materials”) in escrow and take all steps necessary to register Customer, and maintain as registered through the Term, as a beneficiary to a standard escrow agreement with a nationally recognized escrow agent, with terms no less protective of Customer’s rights as prescribed by the Master Preferred Escrow Agreement (CSG document no. [*******]; as last amended) that previously governed the Parties’ escrow relationship prior to the Effective Date (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that in the event that CSG (i) files for protection under Chapter 7 of title 11, United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or takes other steps to liquidate its assets for the purposes of discontinuing its business (including in a liquidation under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) or (ii) ceases to provide maintenance and support for any Covered Product as required by this Agreement (each of the foregoing, a “Release Condition”); then, Customer may request a release of the applicable Deposit Materials sufficient to allow Customer to maintain services for Customer’s cable systems that utilize a Covered Product, subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. CSG acknowledges that the Covered Products are mission critical to Customer’s business and cannot easily, promptly, or effectively be replaced in the event of a Release Condition. Consequently, CSG’s strict performance of its obligations under this Section 2.9 is subject to equitable relief under Section 11.2 and, in connection therewith, CSG hereby acknowledges and admits that any breach of such obligations will cause immediate and irreparable harm to Customer and cannot be remedied solely by monetary relief.
. In the event of a release of the Deposit Materials as permitted by this Agreement, Customer shall automatically have, without any further action by Customer, a fully-paid, perpetual, non-assignable license to possess
and use the Products in source code form, and to make and use derivative works of the Products. The Deposit Materials shall include a copy of (i) all software source code, source code comments and documentation, access-control mechanisms and information, and other intangible materials comprising or incorporated in the Products, as well as all instructions, notes, references, programs, and (ii) all testing, maintenance and support materials, including any lists of known defects, support databases, engineering documents, source control databases, test plans and automated test suites, required for Customer to prepare an object code or executable copy of each Product from the source code of such Product, via the procedures of assembly, compilation, linking and/or any other lawful and non-infringing procedure, without any additional assistance from CSG. In the event that the Deposit Materials are incomplete or not provided timely, Customer shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies to which it may be entitled, to decompile or reverse engineer the Product and otherwise to reconstruct or discover any source code or underlying algorithms of the Products. The right of Customer to possess and use the Deposit Materials for the Products shall be subject to all of the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Customer shall not request or require any CSG employee or Third Party Contractor to sign a version of Schedule L, any documentation or agreement, other than for routine access (e.g., signing in at the security desk and presenting government issued identification) to Customer’s facility or facilities, without first presenting to CSG’s Vice President of Professional Services or Vice President of the Customer Business Unit. In no event shall a CSG employee or Third Party Contractor be personally liable to Customer as a result of signing any Customer documentation or agreement.

In providing any Services, CSG shall be entitled to rely upon and act in accordance with any reasonable instructions, guidelines, data or information provided to CSG by the employees or Agents of Customer who have actual or apparent authority to provide such instructions, guidelines or information, and CSG shall [*** ** ******* ** ******* incurred by Customer or its Agents that ****** ******** **** ***** ********** *******] in doing so. In addition, if an action is brought by a third party against CSG directly related to [***** ********** ********] on any instructions, guidelines, data or information provided to CSG by the employees or Agents of Customer who have actual or apparent authority to provide such instructions, guidelines or information, and [*** *** *** ** ****** ** **** *********],

All patents, copyrights, trade secrets or other proprietary rights in or to the work product that CSG may create for Customer, including, but not limited to, any ideas, concepts, inventions or techniques that CSG may use, conceive or first reduce to practice in connection with the Technical Services (“Deliverables”) are and will be the exclusive property of CSG, except as and to the extent otherwise specified in the applicable SOW. During the term of this Agreement, Customer provides to CSG a non-exclusive right to use Customer’s Intellectual Property necessary to provide the Services; provided, that any use of Customer’s name and marks shall be consistent with Customer’s issued guidelines. Customer shall have no proprietary interest in CSG’s billing and management information software and technology and agrees that, unless specifically set forth in an SOW, any Deliverable is a work specially ordered and commissioned for use as a contribution to a collective work and is not a work made for hire pursuant to United States copyright law, and in such case, Customer will have a perpetual, for the term of the Agreement, fully-paid right to use such Deliverable. Nothing in this Agreement will require Customer to utilize any Deliverable in its systems.
With respect to any Technical Services related to addressable interface launches or processing changes described in Exhibit E-2 (Addressable Interface Launches and Processing Changes) of Schedule E (Addressable Interfaces) (“Interface Projects”), the Parties shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.9. Customer’s requests for Interface Projects shall be sent to CSG’s Customer Business Unit in writing or via e-mail. CSG shall send Customer an electronic technical services request, in the form of an E-SOW. The E-SOW shall include the CSG project number, billing system/principal, project description, estimated start/completion date, estimated costs, Customer’s project owner, CSG’s project owner, and any additional terms relevant to the project. Prior to CSG’s commencement of such Technical Services, Customer shall return the signed E-SOW to CSG with Customer’s internal purchase order number.

In the event the estimated cost is less than [*** ******** dollars ***********] such work shall be billed to Customer through CSG’s program request documentation. In the event such estimated costs exceed [***** ******** dollars ************], such Technical Services shall be performed pursuant to a Statement of Work as described in Section 3.2 of this Agreement. In addition, the Parties agree that any other Technical Services billed at an hourly rate or a contracted fixed rate may be performed pursuant to a E-SOW, provided the estimated fees for such Technical Services does not exceed [***** ******** dollars ************]. Notwithstanding the above, the Parties may mutually agree to execute a Statement of Work rather than a E-SOW for any Technical Services described in this Section 3.9.
(a) CSG acknowledges and agrees that from time to time in the course of its business Customer may determine that it has a desire or obligation, or CSG has an obligation as a result of a third party subpoena for an action which Customer is a party in connection with disputes before or involving government agencies, courts, or other parties to litigation or arbitration proceedings, to preserve, code, collect, manage, and produce (“Obligations”) certain data that CSG maintains pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Section 3.10, CSG agrees to exercise
[************ ********** *******] to effect, as reasonably instructed by Customer or as required by a third party subpoena which Customer is a party, compliance with such Obligations.
(b) Subject to Section 3.2, CSG may make [********** ******* *** *** **** ******** ** *** *********] in complying with any request of Customer under this section, not to exceed the amounts set forth under Schedule F for related development work but [***** *** ********* ** *********** ** ********** *********. For purposes of clarification, CSG shall *** ** ******** ** ************* or ******* of *** ****, ***** or ******** incurred by it to **** or ****** ***** ******] with respect to its Obligations under this Section 3.10 or for any testimony provided by CSG as may be requested by Customer, including requests made by Customer in order for Customer to present evidence of the means and methods by which Customer exercised its Obligations in any dispute or proceeding, whether such evidence is requested in connection with a Rule 30(b)(6) proceeding or otherwise; provided, however, that such limitation will not abrogate or otherwise limit Customer’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding, Customer shall be invoiced for the corresponding fees as set forth in Schedule F for the provision of data and information to which Customer already has access and the ability to retrieve itself through the normal course of its use of the Products and Services, but which CSG has researched, collected and provided in response to a Customer issued subpoena or Customer request. Customer agrees that should its request require investment in hardware or software by CSG for discovery support, CSG shall provide estimates and costs of providing same and Customer agrees to pay for such costs in the event it requests CSG to proceed.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Term and at no additional charge to Customer, CSG shall provide Customer [****** **** *****] of such discovery support services per proceeding. In the event Customer uses or anticipates using more than [****** **** *****] of such support, requiring CSG investment in hardware or development work, such support shall be conducted pursuant to a mutually agreed upon SOW, [*** *** **** ******** ** ******** * ***** ********* ******* will apply to all support provided after the initial ****** **** *****, which will be **** ** ******]. For any invoice associated with the foregoing, CSG will provide supporting documentation consistent with supporting documentation provided with respect to technical services.
(d) Customer and CSG recognize that certain requests for data or other information may entail or require some level of utilization of copyrighted, patented, trade secret or other proprietary technology of CSG. CSG consents to the use of such technology for such purposes and agrees to provide the requested information and/or discovery support necessary to retrieve the requested information, subject to additional fees, and Customer agrees, upon request of CSG, to take all reasonable steps requested and available to protect the copyrighted, patented, secret or proprietary nature of such technology, which shall include but not be limited to subjecting the foregoing to protective order, requiring outside counsel or consultants to sign a non-disclosure agreement with CSG, but in any event it shall be in CSG’s reasonable discretion whether Customer is provided access to such technology.
(e) CSG further acknowledges that such requests may require the collection and production of data with respect to subscribers that have been divested by Customer and agrees to collect and produce such information with respect to the period during which such subscribers were Connected Subscribers; provided that CSG may withhold such information as it relates to the period after the date upon which any such divestiture is consummated unless and until CSG receives the approval of any acquiring entity to provide same (which approval will be deemed acceptable to CSG if the acquiring entity executes an Interim Agreement as provided in Schedule N). Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold CSG harmless against any and all losses and/or damages incurred by CSG that arise directly from CSG’s provision of support services requested by Customer.
MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
. Subject to payment by Customer of the fees set forth in Schedule F, and through the Term of this Agreement as set forth in section 1.2, CSG will provide Customer its support and maintenance of the [************ *******] of each licensed Product (excluding any customization) and Services as described on Schedule H (“Support Services”), and each Party also agrees to comply with all other terms and conditions of Schedule H.

at the rates provided in Schedule F is support of the [************ *******] of the licensed Products via CSG’s Product Support Center, publication updates, and the fixes, updates, upgrades or new versions or any other major and minor enhancements of the Products or Documentation that CSG may make generally available to its customers (the “Updates”).
. If Customer is not utilizing the Products in a [********** *********** or Customer has added ***** ***** ************], Customer shall be responsible for making all necessary modifications to such third party applications to ensure they function properly with the Updates. [****** ******** *************] are not included in Support Services as Updates but are covered as Technical Services under Section 3.2. The Support Services do not include (i) [*************] to any Product, or (ii) maintenance and support of any [************* ** *** ***** ***** ***** ********]. The maintenance and support for Third Party Software 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 obligation to provide such maintenance and support with respect thereto and Customer must look solely to the licensor.
. CSG will not be required to (i) develop and release Updates except as required by the Support Services, including without limitation bug fixes, (ii) customize Updates to satisfy Customer’s particular requests, or (iii) obtain updates or enhancements to any Third Party Product. If an Update replaces a prior version of the CSG Software, Customer will destroy such prior version within [****** **** ****] of installing the Update, except that it may retain one copy for archival purposes.
. CSG shall provide initial training and education services with respect to the operation of the Products and Services for the fees set forth in Schedule F or as part of the [********* ******* ***** ******].

PAYMENT TERMS
. CSG will provide the Products and Services for the fees set forth in Schedule F, other Schedules hereto or an applicable Statement of Work. Customer shall also reimburse CSG for reasonable, out‑of‑pocket expenses (“Reimbursable Expenses”), without markup, including travel and travel‑related expenses, which are incurred by CSG for travel approved by Customer in connection with CSG’s performance hereunder.
. Customer shall pay [*********** ****** amounts due hereunder within ********** **** **** after the date ** *******. Any amount not paid within ********** **** **** after the date ** ******* shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of *** *** ******** ******* (****) per *****], not compounded, and the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Customer shall pay all amounts due in United States currency. For an invoice (including parts of an invoice) to be considered “[********]”: (a) Customer will notify CSG in writing (including by email) to the attention of a member of the CSG billing department and (b) such [******* must be in **** *****]. Neither Customer’s failure to [******* the accuracy of any invoice within ********** **** **** of
the *******] date, nor Customer’s payment of any invoice, shall be deemed to constitute Customer’s agreement to the accuracy of the amounts charged therein.
. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the fees set forth in this Agreement are current as of [******* ** ****, and include the ****** ********** ** **** applicable as of such date; (ii) the fees set forth in this Agreement do not reflect the fees that were in effect for the period beginning upon the ********* **** and ending ******** *** **** ****** **** *** ** *** ***** ** *** ******** *********); and (iii) the next ****** ********** ** **** under this Agreement shall not occur until ******* ** ****]. Effective [******* ** ****], and for each year during the Term, all fees included in this Agreement, except [********* as defined below, shall be increased ******** by the lesser of (x) ****** ******* (***) of an amount equal to the ******* ******* of the ******** ****** **** ******], prior to CSG’s notice, of the published (“CPI”) Consumers Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Items, U.S. City Average 1982-1984, published by the U.S. Department of Labor or any successor index (“[****** Adjustment to Fees”) or (y) ***** ******* ****]. The [******] Adjustment to Fees shall be communicated to Customer no later than [********] of the preceding year, provided, however, that the failure to provide timely notice of the [******] Adjustment to Fees will not relieve Customer of the [******] Adjustment to Fees, except that such [******] Adjustment to Fees will be effective prospectively from the later of [*******] or the actual date that such notice is provided. CSG may modify the fees payable by Customer for [***** *** ********* ************* at any time equal to ********** ********* to ********* ***** that may be ****** ***** to *** from its ********* *******]. For avoidance of doubt, such fees payable by Customer for [********* shall *** ** ******* to *** ***** ********** under this section 5.3 other than ********* ************ to ***** ******* of the ********* as described herein. In addition, CSG agrees to **** ******* to ******** the ****** of *** ********** ******** in ********* ***** that may be ******** to *** **** its ******** *******. Customer will be notified in writing (e-mail shall suffice) of any ********* ***** ********* or ********* no less than ****** **** ****] prior to the application of such change. CSG will provide to Customer, no later than the last day of [******** of each year during the Term, * ***** **** reflecting the ************ ***** for **** ******* and *******] included in Schedule F. However, the prices described in Schedule F, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 5.3 and reflected on the [******] Adjustment to Fees, shall govern in the event of a discrepancy in the [***** ****] and any of the foregoing. If CSG or Customer determines that it has any inquiries or problems or believes there are errors or discrepancies with respect to any amounts identified in the [***** ****], either party shall notify the other party (e-mail shall suffice) and the parties shall discuss such discrepancy and come to resolution within [****** **** ****] of the date of such discrepancy notice.
. All amounts payable by Customer to CSG under this Agreement do not include any applicable use, sales, or other taxes that may be assessable in connection with this Agreement. Customer will pay any such taxes in addition to the amount due and payable. If CSG pays any such taxes, it will separately identify such amount on the applicable invoice; however in the event CSG does not provide the tax on the applicable invoice it may provide the tax on a subsequent invoice without violating this section. If Customer pays any such tax directly to the appropriate taxing authority, Customer shall furnish CSG with the official receipt of such payment. Customer shall not, however, be liable for any taxes based on CSG’s net income. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall not be required to reimburse CSG for (a) any tax penalties assessed as a result of CSG’s failure to timely pay any tax, (b) any taxes invoiced by CSG more than [***** **** ****] after the date such taxes were paid, or (c) any taxes not paid by CSG within [*** ******* ****** *****] days after CSG first had knowledge that such taxes were due and owing, except to the extent that Customer agrees to any nonpayment or delayed payment of such taxes.
. CSG shall deliver all Software and all Documentation to Customer promptly after the Effective Date by making such Software and Documentation available for [********** ******** at Customer’s *** ****** ******** ********]. CSG will not deliver any Software on tangible media except as mutually agreed upon in writing. The delivery terms on any purchase order or other ordering document may not supersede this Section 5.5.

If CSG cannot fulfill its obligations specified in (i) or (ii) within [****** **** ****] of Customer’s request for indemnification, Customer may terminate this Agreement with no further obligation or liability if the unusable Product or Service is material to Customer’s business operations. Customer may also terminate this Agreement upon notice, if an injunction is granted which prohibits
Customer from using a Product or Service, or a portion thereof that is material to its business operations, and such injunction is not lifted within [******* **** ******** ****].
. CSG shall have no Indemnification Obligation to Customer to the extent that the infringement claim results from (i) [* ********** ** ************ ** *** ******* *** ******** ** ********** ** ******* ** ***, (ii) *** ******* ** ******** ******* ** ****** ******** ** *** or (iii) *** *********** ** *** ******* **** ***** ***** *** ********* ********** ** ********** ** ******** ** ***]. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 7.1 AND 7.2 ARE CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY THIRD PARTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM RELATED TO THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
. In addition to Customer’s indemnity obligations in Sections 2.4(b), 2.8, 3.6 and 3.10 if an action is brought against CSG claiming that Customer’s Intellectual Property infringes a copyright, trademark, trade secret or patent, Customer will defend CSG at Customer’s expense and pay all damages (including punitive damages) awarded against and reasonable costs incurred by CSG in the infringement action, but only if (i) CSG notifies Customer promptly upon learning that a legal action has been commenced, (ii) CSG permits Customer to have sole control over the defense of the claim and any negotiation for its settlement or compromise (provided that no settlement that adversely affects CSG will be entered into without CSG’s written consent), and (iii) CSG reasonably cooperates with Customer at Customer’s expense in defending such claim. CSG may engage its own counsel to assist in its defense at CSG’s sole expense; provided, however, that in the event Customer fails to employ counsel to defend a Claim within a reasonable period of time and such failure could reasonably be expected to materially prejudice CSG’s ability to defend or settle such Claim, each of the applicable indemnified parties will have the right, but not the obligation, themselves to undertake, or to have another for them to undertake, the defense (including settlement) of such Claim. In either case, such defense by CSG or another indemnified party will be on behalf of, for the account of, at the sole cost and expense of, and at the sole risk of, Customer; provided further, however, that CSG or any such other indemnified party may not settle any such Claim without the consent of Customer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement admits liability on Customer’s part or imposes any liability or obligation upon Customer. Customer shall have no Indemnification Obligation to CSG to the extent that the infringement claim results from a correction or modification not provided by Customer. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 7.4 ARE CSG’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR AN INFRINGEMENT CLAIM BASED ON, OR RELATED TO, CUSTOMER’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
. Except for Third Party Software, CSG represents and warrants that for a period of [****** **** ****, after the date of ********] (“Warranty Period”) the Products, and any Deliverables provided by CSG do, and will (i) conform to CSG’s published specifications in effect on the date of delivery or the specifications set forth in the applicable Statement of Work, and (ii) perform in a Designated Environment substantially as described in the accompanying Documentation. CSG also warrants that it will perform all Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Any Third Party Software provided by CSG under Section 2.5 shall be provided AS IS. Nothing contained in this Section 8.1 shall limit CSG’s obligations to provide support, maintenance and service pursuant to the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
. In case of breach of warranty or any other duty related to the quality of the Products or Deliverables, CSG or its representative will correct or replace any defective Product or Deliverable within [****** **** **** or, if not practicable, CSG will accept the return of the defective Product or Deliverable and refund to Customer (i) *** ****** ******** **** ** *** ********* ** *** ********* ******* ** ***********, and (ii) * *** **** ***** ** *** *********** **** **** ******** ******** **** ** *** *** *** ****** **** **** ******* ** *********** *** *** ******]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the returned Product or Deliverable is material to the Products or Services, then Customer may terminate this Agreement with no further obligation or liability including [*********** *********]. In case of breach of warranty related to the Services, CSG shall re-perform such defective Services at no charge using commercially reasonable efforts. Except as expressly provided in Schedule H, Customer acknowledges that this Section 8.3 sets forth Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and CSG’s exclusive liability, for any breach of warranty related to the quality of the Products, Deliverables or Services.
. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND GUARANTEES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND GUARANTEES WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS, DELIVERABLES, ANY 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 OVERRIDDEN, EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

(i) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of formation or incorporation;
(ii) it is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which such licensing and qualification is required for purposes of this Agreement, except where the failure to be so qualified, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(iii) it has the full right, corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder;
(iv) the execution of this Agreement by Charter and by the individual whose signature is set forth at the end of this Agreement, and the delivery of this Agreement, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Customer;

(vi) this Agreement has been executed and delivered and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery in the normal course of business) constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Customer, enforceable against Customer in accordance with its terms, except in each case to the extent that such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or secured parties.
LIMITATION OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES
. Backup and recovery plans or backup and recovery software is not included with the Products that are located at Customer’s site(s). Any Customer documents, data and files located at Customer’s site(s) 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 within the Designated Environment or utilized within such Products.
(a) Except for the Parties’ [************ *************** *********** and *************** *********** (excluding a ******** ****** *****]), under no circumstances will either party be liable to the other party for any consequential, indirect, special, punitive or incidental damages or lost profits, whether
foreseeable or unforeseeable, based on claims or those of its customers, arising out of breach or failure of express or implied warranty, breach of contract, misrepresentation, negligence, strict liability in tort or otherwise. For purposes of this Section 9.2, a [******** ****** ***** shall mean the ************ ********** or ************ ****** to ******* ******** *********** or damages to Customer arising as a result of ***** ********* of the terms provided in ******* **** ********** ************ with ******* ** ******* ******** ***********, **** **** ********, **** **** ****** ******** or **** ******* *** ******** *******].
(b) Except for [******* ********, the Parties’ ************ *************** ***********, any ****** of the ******* ************ provided in ******* ***, ********** **** *** and *****, and the ******** described in ******** *, in no event will the aggregate liability that either Party incurs to the other Party under this Agreement exceed the amounts ******** **** ** ******* by ******** under this Agreement **** *** **** ****** ****** **** ******* ****** preceding the claim (excluding any ******* ****, ******* or **** ******** of ******** hereunder for *********** ********* and any ******* **** in ******* of **** ****** prior to such ****** **** ***** period “Liability Limit”)). CSG and Customer agree ******** ****** ***** *********** ******** of ********** *************, **** ****** *******, *** **** ** ****** **********] and shall be direct damages, not subject to the limitations set forth in subsection (a), but rather subject to the terms of this subsection (b).

(d) The aforementioned exclusions and limitations of damages shall be independent of, and shall survive, any failure of the essential purpose of any warranty or limited remedy stated herein, and shall apply even if a party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Despite the foregoing exclusion and limitation, this Section 9.2 will not apply to the extent that applicable law specifically requires liability, any breach of the license restrictions provided in Section 2.2, or to any obligation to pay the [*********** ************** *** ****** *** ****** *********** ************** *** ************* ********** ************** *** ****** *** ***** ** *** ********** ************** *** ********** *** *****].
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; data integrity and security
. Customer and CSG may reveal to each other non-public information relating to each other’s business, their customers, the Products, Deliverables, Services and any Third Party Software provided hereunder that is confidential (“Confidential Information”). 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 or CSG’s respective business operations, customers, services, products, research and development, CSG’s vendors’ or licensors’ information and products, and all other information that the receiving Party should know from the markings, the nature of the information or the circumstances of disclosure. In addition, both Parties acknowledge that it and its personnel may have access to data, records and documents pertaining to such Confidential Information. Confidential Information may also include private easements, licenses, utility agreements, permits, other right-of-way granting documents, specifications, designs, business plans, schematics, drawings, software, data, prototypes, or other business, marketing technical information, and Charter Customer Information. “Charter Customer Information” shall mean the personally identifiable information of current, former, or prospective customers or employees of Customer, which includes information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with a particular natural person, and which is also commonly referred to as personally identifiable information or PII. Charter Customer Information shall be treated [********** ** ********** **** ******** **** *** **** ****** *** *** ****** *** ********* ** ******* ******* **** * ******* ** *** ** ****** **** *** *********** ***** **** ******* **], shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.2 above.
. Each Party shall secure and hold the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party in confidence, exercising a degree of care not less than the care used by the receiving Party to protect its own proprietary or confidential information that it does not wish to disclose (but in no event shall such care be less than that which is commercially reasonable), and specifically, the receiving Party shall maintain and secure any Confidential Information in electronic data format using security measures that meet or exceed the then-current ISO/IEC 27002 information security controls standard. Each Party agrees that it will not show or otherwise disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties, including, but not limited to, independent contractors and consultants, without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. However, the foregoing shall not apply in the event the third party is acting as an agent or subcontractor of such Party in performing its obligations hereunder and has executed a confidentiality agreement with the Receiving Party no less restrictive than those provided in this Agreement (“Third Party Contractors”). Each Party shall: (i) use the other Party’s Confidential Information solely for purposes of performing its obligations under this Agreement, except as the disclosing Party may otherwise agree in writing; (ii) advise and secure the agreement of those employees of their obligation to keep the other Party’s Confidential Information confidential in accordance herewith; and (iii) segregate all such Confidential Information from the confidential materials and information of the receiving Party or others to prevent commingling. [**** ***** ***** ********** ******* *** **** ******** *** ***** ***** *** *** ********* ********** ********** ******* **************** ********* *** ******** **** *** ******* *** *** *** ******* ****** ** ******** *** *** ********* ******* ******* ********** ******** ********* ****** ** ******** ********** ********** ********** ***** ******* **** *** ******** *** ** ********** ** **** ***** *** *** ********* ****** ********* ** ********** ** **** ****** ** *** ************ ***********]. Neither Party will allow the removal or defacement of any confidentiality or proprietary notice placed on any of the other Party’s Confidential Information. The placement of copyright notices on Confidential Information will not constitute publication or otherwise impair their confidential nature. Upon written request of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall return all Confidential Information received in tangible form, except that each Party’s legal counsel may retain one copy for its files solely to provide a record of such Confidential Information for archival purposes. Neither Party shall disclose the existence, or terms, of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, provided that the foregoing will not prohibit any disclosure that is required by law or the rules of any stock exchange or other entity where a Party’s securities are traded (collectively, a “Regulatory Disclosure”). [** ** ****** ******** *** *** ******** ********** ******** ********** *********** ******* ********** ******* ******* ******* ****** ************ ****** ** *******: *** ** **** **** *** ******** **** ***** ** ****** * ********** *********** *** **** ******* ** ******** *** ******** ******* ** **** ********** ********** **** ****** ** **** ********* ********** *** ********** ** *********** ** **** *********** ********* ** *** ******** ************ ***********; *** ****** **** ******** **** ***** ********* *** ******** ********** ********** **** **** ******** **** **** *** ***** ** ******* *** ********* ** *** ******* ** **** ********** ********** **** ****** ** ********** **** *********** ******** ********** ******** ********** ***********; *** *** **** ******** ********** ********* ********** ********** *** ** **** ***** *** **** **** ******** ****** ******* ****** ****** ****** ********** ** **** **

. Neither Party shall have any obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any Confidential Information which: (i) was previously known to the Receiving Party free of any obligation to keep it confidential; (ii) is or becomes publicly available by other than unauthorized disclosure by the receiving Party; (iii) is independently developed by the receiving Party; or (iv) is received from a third party who has lawfully obtained such Confidential Information without a confidentiality restriction, except that the occurrence of any of these events shall not relieve a Party from its obligation to maintain the confidentiality of Charter Customer Information. Confidential Information shall be deemed the property of the disclosing Party during the Term and afterwards in perpetuity, subject only to the disclosures permitted by the immediately previous sentence. If, in the judgment of counsel, disclosure is required by law (including securities laws), the receiving Party will so inform the disclosing Party, which may pursue any protective treatment from the court of competent jurisdiction. Provided the receiving Party cooperates with the disclosing Party at the disclosing Party’s expense and the disclosing Party is unable to obtain a protective order, 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. Without limiting CSG’s obligations under Section 10.8 with respect to Data Breach Incidents, if any actual unauthorized use, compromise, or disclosure of Confidential Information occurs or is suspected based upon plausible evidence of such possibility, the receiving Party shall notify the disclosing Party as soon as reasonably practicable after efforts to verify such unauthorized use, compromise or disclosure confirm a reasonable possibility of such occurrence, and the Parties will take all commercially reasonable steps and all legally required actions that may be available to recover the Confidential Information and to prevent their subsequent unauthorized use, compromise, or dissemination.
. Each Party shall limit the use and access of Confidential Information to such Party’s bona fide employees, contractors or agents, 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 Agreement. The receiving Party shall ensure that such individuals shall be subject to a strict duty of confidentiality (whether contractual or statutory duty) and shall not permit any person to access Confidential Information who is not under such duty of confidentiality. 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.
(a) Any collection, maintenance, disclosure or use of the personally identifiable information of Customer’s customers shall be undertaken by CSG (a) to the extent applicable, in a manner that does not violate or cause Customer to be in violation of Customer’s written customer privacy policy (which practices and policies are described more fully at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/), provided that CSG be given at least [****** **** ****] advance notice of any changes thereto, unless a shorter timeframe is required under applicable law and, in all cases, (b) (i) in compliance with any applicable laws (domestic or foreign) governing the collection, maintenance, transmission, dissemination, use and destruction thereof, including specifically the subscriber privacy provisions of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended (47 U.S.C. § 551), and any and all other applicable laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq., Cal. Penal Code § 637.5, and
state and federal security breach notification laws, in each case to the extent they apply to personally identifiable information handled by CSG on Customer’s behalf; and (ii) in compliance with the then-current Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, to the extent CSG has access to any of Customer’s subscriber’s payment card information. Unless authorized by Customer in writing, under no circumstances shall CSG disclose the Charter Customer Information to any third party (even if under contract to that third party) responsible for publicity or for end user sales or marketing.
(b) CSG shall, on a [*******] basis, purge, permanently destroy and render unrecoverable (“Purge”) Charter Customer Information for disconnected subscribers who, as of the date that they are Purged, have been disconnected for [*********** **** ******] or more (the “Disconnected Subscriber Data”). Customer and CSG agree, after the date Disconnected Subscriber Data is to be Purged, CSG shall retain Disconnected Subscriber Data only as is reasonably necessary to complete the purposes for which the Charter Customer Information has been disclosed to CSG or as required by any applicable law, unless otherwise specified by a mutual written agreement of the Parties.
(c) Upon reasonable request from Customer, CSG shall provide access to, and the right to inspect, all records relating to (a) the collection, processing, or transfers of data relating to Charter Customer Information and (b) the information security measures used by CSG to secure Confidential Information, including without limitation, Charter Customer Information. Unless otherwise agreed, any such inspection shall occur only at the business offices of CSG during normal business hours and shall be conducted by a mutually acceptable third-party inspector at Customer’s expense and not more often than once per year. CSG further agrees to cooperate in any regulatory investigation or in any internal investigation by Xxxxxxxx (and in responding to any inquiry by any customer of Customer) relating to Charter Customer Information processed by CSG. In the event of any such investigation or inquiry, upon notice to CSG, Customer may suspend any further transfers of Charter Customer Information for so long as may be necessary to obtain assurances that any additional transfers will not provide the basis for further regulatory action or possible liabilities. Any such suspension will not relieve CSG from any liability arising from this Agreement or any other commercial agreements with Customer.
(d) Without limiting or otherwise abrogating CSG’s other [*************** *********** stated elsewhere in this Agreement, if any ****** ***** ******* ** ****** ** ******* ******* ******** ******* **** *** ******* ** **** *** ******* ********** *********** ** ********* ** ****** **** *** ** *** ***** *** ***** ** **** ******* **** ****** * ******** ******** *********** ******** *** ****** ** ********** ******* *** **** ******** ******** **** **** ******* ******** *********** ***** ** ***** ******* *** ** *** *** ***** *** ****** *** ***/** ******* ********** ******** ******** ******* ******** *** ********** ***** ********** ********** ***** ******** *** ******** ** *** ******* ******** *********** ****** ******* ** *** *********** ******** ** ******* *. Customer shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in ********* ******* any such ******* ******** *********** *****].
(e) Where required by law, Customer shall obtain the appropriate consents from its subscribers prior to any collection, use, and disclosure to CSG of Charter Customer Information. [** ** ****** ** ******* ******* *** ******* **** *** ******* ** ********* *** ********** ********** ** *** ****** ** *********** ****** **** ***** ** ****** **** ********** ******* ***** ******** ****** ** ********** ****** *** **** ******** *** ** ********** ******* *** *** *** ***** *** ****** *** ***/** ******* ********** ******** ******* *** ********** ********** ***** ******* ******** *** ********** ****** ******** ** *** ** *** ******].
(f) Customer agrees and acknowledges that CSG, its subcontractors and partners may provide access to Charter Customer Information to [*********** ** ********* ******* *** ****** ******] in the performance of its obligations in the Agreement, subject to disclosure by CSG of the subject [*************] and review by Customer to determine applicable risk and prior written consent by Xxxxxxxx (e-mail shall suffice from a Senior Vice President of Customer’s Billing Strategy and Operations). Customer agrees CSG may provide access to Charter Customer Information to individuals in [*** ***** *** *****]. Customer agrees and acknowledges the rights provided to CSG in this subsection are essential to the provision of Products and Services for the fees provided in Schedule F, and any revocation of such rights shall be pursuant to a mutually agreed upon amendment to this Agreement and subject to additional fees. CSG will not, and will not permit, such Charter Customer Information to
be stored or reside on systems [******* *** ****** ******]. Customer may, upon reasonable advance written notice and in its reasonable discretion after consultation with CSG, revoke any authorization granted in accordance with this Section 10.5(f); provided, however, to the extent Customer revokes any authorization granted in accordance with this Section 10.5(f), CSG shall have the right to suspend or terminate provision of the impacted Products or Services upon reasonable advance written notice and in its reasonable discretion after consultation with Customer.
(a) CSG will undertake and maintain physical, administrative, and technical safeguards and other security measures necessary to ensure the security and confidentiality of (x) Charter Customer Information, and (y) CSG-supplied assets, systems and software. As part of the Services, CSG will maintain and enforce at each data center, and all other locations where services relating directly or indirectly to the Services are performed, safety and physical and computer system security procedures that are at least (i) equal to current industry standards for such types of service locations; and (ii) as rigorous as those procedures in effect at the service location as of the effective date of the Agreement. In the event that CSG becomes aware of a potential compromise to the security of a data center, CSG will, [****** * ************ ********** ****], notify Customer of such potential compromise after verifying the reasonable possibility of such potential compromise based upon plausible evidence. The parties will work together in good faith to isolate any potentially compromised host to determine the current security posture and whether further corrective action is necessary. However, CSG shall maintain control, discretion, and responsibility for infrastructure changes necessary to resolve any potential compromise.
(b) CSG must test the security of its systems used in connection with this Agreement on a [******** *****], as necessary to confirm system integrity and security as consistent with current industry standards and best practices. CSG is responsible for and shall conduct penetration testing of any Product, Service or system that contains [*** ****] to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in CSG’s environment. CSG further agrees to conduct such penetration testing and remediation of identified vulnerabilities based upon industry accepted penetration testing approaches (e.g., NIST SP800-115 or Payment Card Industry Standard). CSG shall:
(c) CSG will update any third party assets, systems, and software included in or used in conjunction with CSG’s operating systems/platform, network, or hardware/software (“Third Party Element(s)”) that are utilized to provide any Products, Services, other services, or any deliverable under this Agreement to the current or to the prior major release of such Third Party Element, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties. CSG shall not use a version of any such Third Party Elements for which support is no longer available from any entity or for which code fixes addressing vulnerabilities are no longer developed.
(d) For any software development processes related to this Agreement, CSG must address common coding vulnerabilities as follows:
(i) Use secure coding guidelines and latest industry accepted practices for vulnerability management such as the Open Web Application Security Project (“OWASP”) Guide, the SANS CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Errors, and CERT Secure Coding.
(ii) Train developers at least annually in up-to-date secure coding techniques, including, but not limited to, how to avoid common coding vulnerabilities.
(iii) CSG must have industry-accepted controls on the source code to detect and prevent any unauthorized modifications, deletions, or insertions of code. This should include industry-accepted security controls covering all development workstations (including, but not limited to, malware, anti-phishing, and logical access controls) and processes that include validation code reviews.
(iv) CSG will not undertake any code development with any resource that is a Restricted Party.
(e) CSG must ensure that Customer’s use of the Products and Services will not impede Customer’s ability to mitigate vulnerabilities in the systems used for accessing the Products and Services.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
As a condition to initiating any legal action in connection with a dispute relating to this Agreement, either Party shall submit such dispute to nonbinding mediation for resolution by notifying the other Party in writing of its desire to initiate mediation. The mediation shall be conducted in [******* ******** if initiated by Customer and ** *** ****** *********] if initiated by CSG, and in either case shall be conducted under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association. The mediator shall be reasonably acceptable to both Parties and selected under the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute in mediation within [****** **** ****] of the conclusion of the Parties’ presentation of the dispute, then either Party may initiate legal action.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article 11 will prevent either Party from seeking interim injunctive relief against the other Party in the courts having jurisdiction over the other Party. Further, the Parties also acknowledge that, in the case of breaches of Sections 2.7(a) (CSG Property Ownership), 2.7(b) (Customer Property Ownership), 6.2 (Transition Assistance), and Article 10 (Confidential Information) or CSG’s failure to deliver the Products or Services, money damages may be incalculable and would be an insufficient remedy for any such breach and would cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching Party. Accordingly, the Parties agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the foregoing is alleged, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity the non-breaching Party may have, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled, without requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance.
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
. Upon request, but on no more than on an annual basis, within [****** **** ****] of the end of the calendar year, Customer shall provide CSG with a report of the number of [********** *****] of the Products, Services, and Deliverables. The annual reports shall also set forth the number of [************/*******/*****] upon which the Products, Services, and Deliverables are loaded, and the location of the same. The information delivered pursuant to this Section 12.1 will be the Confidential Information of Customer.
. Termination of this Agreement shall not impair either Party’s then accrued rights, obligations, liabilities or remedies except as expressly stated in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the terms and conditions of Sections 1.6, 2.4(a), 2.6, 2.7, 2.9, 2.10, 3.8, 3.10, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 12.2, 12.5, 12.8, 12.9, 12.10, 12.11, 12.13, 12.14, 12.15, 12.16, 12.17, all of Article 7, Article 8, Article 9, Article 10, and Article 11 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
.(a) During the Term of this Agreement, the Parties agree that CSG shall be Customer’s **** *** ********* ******** of ***** *** **** ******** *** ********* ***********. Further, CSG and Customer agree CSG shall be Customer’s **** *** ********* ******** of ***** *** **** ******** *** *** ******** *********** *** ***** *** ******** ***** *** **** ******** ***** ** ***********] which are substantially similar to the Print and Mail Services provided under this Agreement. If during the Term or any extension thereof, Customer [******** *********** ********* ***** *** **** ******** **** ** ****** ***** **** *** ***** ** ************ ******** ****** **** *********** ***** ** ******** ** ***** ***** *** **** ******** ** **** ** ************ **********] after the termination or expiration of the agreement with such entity, but in no event later than [****** **** ****] after such agreement has terminated or expired. In the event Customer identifies a technical issue that exists or arises within the aforementioned [****** **** **** and which *********** **** ********* ** ***** ***** *** **** ********] as provided herein, the Chief Information Officers of each Party or their designees (in the case of Customer, a Senior Vice President of its Billing, Strategy and Operations or equivalent and in the case of CSG, the Vice President of the Customer Business Unit) shall meet within [*** **** ******** ****] to provide a mutually agreeable solution and timeframe for such migration, which shall not exceed [****** **** ******]. The Parties agree the terms of this Section 12.3 Print and Mail [***********] shall only be applicable to Affiliates (as defined in Schedule A) that Customer Controls (as defined in Schedule A). The Parties agree that solely for the purpose of this Section 12.3 Print and Mail [*********** and Schedule F under the ******* **** ******* ********** *** ********** ****], as applicable, Print and Mail Services shall include and be limited to statement composition and the printing and mailing, through the United States Postal Service (“USPS”), of Customer’s monthly billing statements for video, high speed data and residential and commercial voice services.
(b) In the event of a breach of this section 12.3, Customer agrees to pay, in addition to all other amounts then due and owing to CSG, an amount equal to any a[********* ******* **** *** ***** **** **** ******** **
******* ***** **** ********* *** ******** *** ******** ** ******** **** ******* **** and Customer shall use *** ************ ********** ******* ** **** **** ********* ** ****** ** **** ** ** ***********]. In addition, Customer agrees to notify CSG within a commercially reasonable time of Customer’s discovery that it is not in compliance with the terms of this section 12.3 Print and Mail [*********** of this Agreement. Said notice shall include the number of ********** *********** *** *** **** **** **** ******** ** ********]. Further, the Parties agree that CSG shall not terminate this Agreement for a breach of this section, unless Customer has not made payment in accordance with Article 5, “Payment Terms,” of this Agreement.
. In performing hereunder, both Parties are acting as independent contractors and neither Party undertakes to perform any obligation of the other, whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any responsibility for the other’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 Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership or joint venture 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.
. Neither Party will be liable for delays in the performance or nonperformance of any obligations under this Agreement when the delays are caused by war, acts of nature (including without limitation, floods, natural disasters, earthquake, lightning), acts of God, fire, explosion, governmental actions (including without limitation, CDC issuing a federal isolation or quarantine order), civil disturbances, and acts of civil or military authorities or the public enemy or other causes whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing that are beyond the reasonable control of the nonperforming Party (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).

CCS and ACP are outsourced, transaction-driven customer care and billing systems that operate high-volume capacity for the video, HSD and voice industries. CCS and ACP operate with the ACSR front-end graphical user interface (GUI). CCS and ACP are capable of automatically performing specific functions including collections, write-offs, past-due notices, rate increases, and discounts. CSG’s ACP provides an “easy to use”, fully functional customer care and billing tool (Windows or Web based), that can be used to perform many customer relationship management functions. A Customer Service Representative (CSR) can create a customer entity, a customer can have multiple accounts at a single location or a location can have multiple customers, initiate an order
and job/work order request for multiple lines of business (Video, Voice, Data), enter notes, trouble tickets, and view customer information.
ACP also has the ability to analyze customer and order history, setup and perform collection and delinquency treatment tasks, add, swap, perform equipment operations, track and handle complaints, and perform dispatching functions. In addition, (ACP/ACSR) can automatically create a work order/ job or multiple jobs, chain time slots together for job scheduling, offer customer discounting across all of a customers’ accounts and can bill for services immediately or wait for all items on an order to be billed together.

(a) Consumer Debits. Each Subscriber will have the option to pre-authorize a debit to either their checking account or savings account each month for a predetermined date (to be selected by Customer from a range provided by CSG). CSG or, if applicable, its third party ACH Originator will be responsible for the disbursement, remittance and settlement of all funds. CSG will create and submit a pre-authorized payment disbursement file according to bank industry standards (National Automated Clearing House Association, “NACHA”, or Electronic Data Interface, “EDI”) containing a debit record for Subscribers who have pre-authorized monthly debits to be made from checking or savings accounts on a day designated by Customer each month. The ACH Originator will submit to an automated clearing house data in the required form for the collection of the monthly payments from Subscribers bank accounts, which will be effected on the collection date, or if that date is not a banking day, the first banking day after such date. Each debit will be submitted so as to effect the payment on the designated date.
(b) Credit of Remittances. CSG will post to Subscriber’s CCS or ACP account a payment transaction for each processing Subscriber on the Subscriber’s collection day. For purposes of this subparagraph (b), a Subscriber’s “collection day” shall mean: (i) for recurring EFT transactions, the day the Subscriber’s payment transaction posts to CCS; and (ii) for one-time EFT transactions, the day that the ACH transaction (via a payment batch) is released by CSG to the originating bank.
(c) Enrollment Process. Customer is responsible for obtaining Subscriber enrollment information that authorizes his respective bank to post debit transactions to his respective bank checking account or savings account as required by NACHA. Customer will input Subscriber type of account, bank account number, payment method, and bank routing information into CCS or ACP. CSG will initiate an ACH prenote the day the form is processed or the day after the form is processed if the form is entered after the daily cutoff time. A daily report will be generated for the Customer each business day for which input is processed showing that a prenote has been initiated. If the prenote process produces an error, CCS or ACP will automatically update the Subscribers’ payment status to reflect an error and add the error to a daily report. If the error was correctable by the receiving depository financial institution, CCS® or ACP will automatically update the information on CCS or ACP. The first debit will be initiated on the appropriate date to effect the debit on the Customer’s predetermined date.
(d) Automatic Pre-Authorized Payments. CSG and its third party ACH Originator shall provide automatic payment deduction which will occur monthly on a predetermined date (selected by Customer from a range supplied by CSG). CSG will submit a file to the ACH Originator [*** (*) ****] prior to the date the deduction is scheduled to take place. The Subscriber payment amount submitted to the ACH Originator will be the statement balance if the statement balance is less than the current balance or if the statement balance is greater than the current balance, then the current balance will be used. If the designated date for deduction falls on a weekend and/or holiday, the deduction will not occur until the next scheduled banking day.
(e) Settlement. The ACH Originator will credit Customer’s bank account for the gross ACH collection per the ACH Originator's schedule.
(f) Settlement of Returns. The ACH Originator will settle returns against Xxxxxxxx’s bank account per the ACH Originator’s schedule.

Payment Gateway Service
1. Payment Gateway. CSG will provide to Customers and Customers may purchase from CSG, the “Payment Gateway Service” which facilitates the routing of, in each case, credit card transactions ([****, **********, ********, and ******** *******]) and debit card transactions for Connected Subscribers, as well as such card transactions originated by any Customer from non-CSG systems which shall be limited to Convergys and its successors or assigns (“Non-CSG”), to Customer’s designated third party processors. The Payment Gateway Service provides BIN management capabilities which enable PIN-less debit processing. Based on the BIN and the cardholder’s designated transaction method, the Payment Gateway Service will determine the eligibility of each card transaction for PIN-less debit processing and, if eligible for PIN-less debit processing, shall transmit such card transaction on a real-time basis to Customer’s designated payment processor as a debit card transaction. Customer’s designated payment process for debit card transactions may be, at the election of Customer, different than Customer’s payment processor for credit card transactions. If a debit card transaction is rejected as being eligible for PIN-less debit processing, the debit card transaction will be re-routed by CSG to Customer’s designated credit card processor. The Payment Gateway Service supports one-time and recurring card payments. The Payment Gateway Service is an additional feature beyond currently supported Recurring Credit Card Processing and One-time Credit Card Processing Services. In addition, CSG will provide such Recurring Credit Card Processing and One-Time Credit Card Processing Services for Non-CSG credit card (including debit cards ineligible for PIN-less debit) transactions in terms of sending batch files on a nightly basis in the appropriate format to Customer’s designated payment processer (which may, at the election of Customer, be different for credit versus debit card transactions), excluding, however, posting of payments for any such Non-CSG card transactions. In addition, as part of the Payment Gateway Service, CSG shall provide any additional requirements relating to card transactions as set forth in that certain Statement of Work between Customer and CSG identified by CSG document no. 2301093.
CSG will continue to provide Customer with such reports and documentation as it currently provides in connection with the Recurring Credit Card Processing and One-Time Credit Card Processing Services for Connected Subscribers, which excludes Non-CSG credit card and debit card transactions. In addition, upon Customer’s request, CSG will provide all transmission logs relating to all card transactions routed through the Payment Gateway Service for a period of no less than [******* (**)] **** following the applicable transmission date.
CSG will perform the Payment Gateway Service in accordance with the performance standards and remedies as set forth in the Attachment to Exhibit C-8, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
2. Requirements. Allowable payment types for the Payment Gateway Service are [**********, ****, ******** *******, and ********]. Each Customer is responsible for establishing a merchant agreement with a CSG approved merchant bank, ISO and/or processor. The merchant bank, ISO and/or processor will assign all applicable merchant ID numbers. Customer must communicate their merchant ID information to CSG prior to using the Payment Gateway Service. In addition to any CSG approved merchant banks, ISO and/or processors currently supported, additional merchant banks, ISO and/or processors may be added by CSG at a Customer’s request for additional fees through a mutually agreed upon Statement of Work. For avoidance of doubt, [*****, **********, CSG Forte, and *********** ***********] are all CSG approved merchant banks independent sales organizations (“ISO”) and/or processors. Customer is responsible for all credit card and debit card related fees passed through or assessed by merchant banks, ISO, card processors, [****, **********, ********, ******** *******, ****, ****, and ******] or any other entity involved in the processing of card transactions routed through the Payment Gateway Service pursuant to any agreement Customer has with any such third parties. With respect to any card transaction originating from non-CSG billing platforms routed through the Payment Gateway Service, Customer is responsible for adhering to all applicable regulations that may be mandated by the card associations, debit networks, payment card industry (including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), or other regulatory entity (“Rules and Regulations”) applicable to Customer with respect to the origination of such card transactions. CSG is responsible for adhering to all applicable Rules and Regulations in connection with its provision of the Payment Gateway Service hereunder including, but not limited to, correctly formatting card transaction data received from non-CSG billing platforms, as may be necessary to comply with the Rules and Regulations. For purposes of clarity, in connection with its
performance of the Payment Gateway Services for Customer hereunder, CSG acknowledges that it is responsible for the security of any cardholder data that it stores, processes, transmits, or possesses. CSG shall not be responsible for any interchange fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CSG makes an alteration or modification that results in a shift or downgrade in the interchange qualification rates, CSG shall be responsible for reimbursing Customer in an amount equal to the difference in the interchange qualification rate (“Rate Increase”) for the affected volume from the time of the Problem arises to the time CSG corrects the Problem and the interchange qualification rate is reduced to the level prior to the Rate Increase, subject to the limitation of liability cap amount set forth in Section 4 below. CSG will make commercially reasonable efforts to correct the issue. CSG agrees to work with Customer to identify the source of the downgrade. Customer shall be responsible for providing reasonable transaction detail supporting the downgrade or shift for the calculation of the reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, CSG shall not be liable for any Rate Increase in the event such Rate Increase is the result of or caused by an alteration or modification of the Payment Gateway Service directed by Customer.

14. Transfer Amount Settlement. In the event the ACH Funds or Wired Funds exceed the aggregate amount of Refund Checks actually mailed to subscribers and postage expenses actually incurred in connection with such mailing for any reason during any particular month during the term of this Agreement, then CSG shall credit such excess amount against any future fees due and payable under this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS TERMS:
1. CSG and Customer acknowledge that the Hardware Components and the Kiosk Software each constitute a “Product” under the Agreement and that all services contemplated in this Exhibit constitute “Services” under the Agreement. With respect to any Services that this Exhibit contemplates shall be performed by the manufacturer of the Kiosk Unit (the “Hardware TPV”), the Hardware TPV shall constitute an authorized or permitted subcontractor under the Agreement.
2. CSG represents and warrants that Customer’s rights to and ownership, free from any lien, third party claim, or encumbrance, of the Kiosk Units shall transfer from the Hardware TPV to Customer upon delivery of such Kiosk Unit(s) to Customer, at Customer's designated location(s). Customer shall assume risk of loss of Kiosk Unit(s) upon such delivery. For purposes of clarification, Customer’s ownership rights run to the Kiosk Unit, as applicable Enclosure (as defined in the Hardware Components List) and all attached and related accessory components thereto. CSG represents and warrants that, upon delivery of the Kiosk Unit to Customer, Customer (by virtue of its ownership of the Hardware Components) has a valid, perpetual, fully-paid up, royalty-free, transferable (to any subsequent owner of the Hardware Components) license from the applicable software, firmware or driver owner to: (a) use all software loaded on (or made available to Customer in connection with) the Hardware Components; (b) use all firmware and drivers loaded on (or made available to Customer in connection with) the Hardware Components; and (c) receive, at
no additional charge, all bug fixes, updates and upgrades of the software, firmware and drivers described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) as well as a valid, perpetual, fully-paid up, royalty-free, transferable (to any subsequent owner of the Hardware Components) license from the applicable software, firmware or driver owner to use any such bug fixes, updates and upgrades of the software, firmware and drivers described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) that are made generally available by the publisher. Any third party claim against a Customer based on allegations that, if true, would constitute a breach of the foregoing representation or warranty regarding the software, firmware and drivers loaded on (or made available to Customer in connection with) the Hardware Components is acknowledged by CSG to be an infringement claim for which CSG must indemnify Customer pursuant to Article 7 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent the foregoing third party claim is made by a subsequent owner of the Kiosk Unit that is not a cable operator and to whom Customer has directly transferred the Kiosk Unit, CSG shall be responsible for the payment of the amount of Customer's liability to the third party claimant on a per Kiosk basis, capped at the amount of the fees Customer paid to purchase the Kiosk Unit based upon a five (5) year straight line amortization schedule and, notwithstanding the indemnification procedure provisions of Article 7 of the Agreement, no settlement of such claim may be made by CSG without Customer’s prior written consent where the amount of the settlement exceeds the foregoing cap. The preceding indemnification described in this Section 2 shall be CSG’s sole and exclusive liability and Customer’s sole remedy for a violation of the representations and warranties provided in this subsection 2.
Effective upon the delivery of a Kiosk Unit to Customer, CSG hereby grants to such Customer a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, except for termination as provided in Article 6 of the Agreement, transferable (solely in connection with a permitted assignment of the Agreement or to any Transferee, as defined in Section 4 of these Miscellaneous Terms) right and license to use the Kiosk Software (including all bug fixes, updates or upgrades thereto from time to time) in connection with the Kiosk Units during each Kiosk Software Support Services term.
3. In addition to CSG’s infringement indemnity obligations for the Products and Services set forth in Article 7 of the Agreement, CSG also agrees that if an action, suit or proceeding is commenced by a third party due to a combination of the Hardware Components and Kiosk Software claiming that it or they, as the case may be, infringe a copyright, trademark, trade secret, mask work or U.S. patent of the third party, CSG agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Customer harmless, at CSG’s expense, and pay the damages and costs finally awarded against Customer or any settlement amount approved by CSG. The indemnification procedure provisions of Article 7 of the Agreement shall apply to any such claim for indemnification.
4. Intentionally left blank
5. (a) CSG shall be responsible for ensuring that, (i) at the time of delivery, the Hardware Components comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and requirements (including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, (“ADA”)), and, (ii) the Kiosk Software at the time of delivery and, thereafter, during each purchased Kiosk Software Support Services period, shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations and requirements, existing as of the effective date of this Agreement, that are applicable to the billing, payment, customer care or other transactions or activities that may be conducted via the Kiosk Unit, including without limitation any credit card or debit card network rules, guidelines or standards (except that nothing herein shall modify the provisions of Section 6 below) and the operating rules and guidelines of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA), (hereinafter collectively “Legal Requirements”). CSG’s obligations as provided in (i) above shall not apply to the extent Customer’s use of the Hardware Components is in a manner which is non-compliant with applicable laws, rules, regulations and requirements where such violation of law is not caused by a failure of the Hardware Components themselves to be compliant with applicable laws, rules, regulations or requirements (e.g. the screen height of the Kiosk Unit is ADA compliant but Customer chooses to place the Kiosk Unit on a platform that results in a disabled person being unable to reach the screen of the Kiosk Unit, and such placement causes a violation of the ADA). In the event CSG implements a modification to the Kiosk Software in order to adhere to the requirements of (ii) above and the Hardware Components of the Kiosk Unit will not support the additional features/functionality of the modified Kiosk Software necessary to comply with the change in Legal Requirements, then Customer shall be responsible for any related Hardware Components costs necessary to upgrade the Hardware Components such that they can support the additional features/functionality of the modified Kiosk Software necessary to comply with the change in Legal
Requirements. Such upgrade of the Hardware Components shall be made pursuant to a mutually agreed upon SOW that documents the applicable costs and sets forth the applicable project terms.

CSG Anti-Spam Policy
Customer certifies that it will use Precision eMail® only to send emails to its subscribers and prospects that have provided their email address to Customer (opted-in) for the purpose of receiving email messages from Customer and its service providers, including but not limited to Precision eMail®. Customer is forbidden to transmit unsolicited commercial email that does not comply with the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, codified at 15 U.S.C. §§ 7701 et seq. or other applicable law (“Spam”) via Precision eMail®. CSG does not buy or sell email lists, nor does CSG allow Customer to use purchased or harvested email lists for use via Precision eMail® (see below).
Additionally, CSG offers "confirmed opt-in" as an optional tool for Customer to use to help minimize allegations of spam and abuse. When a list is designated as “confirmed opt-in,” Precision eMail® automatically sends a follow-up email to each subscriber on such lists asking the recipient to verify that he, she or it wishes to receive communications via Precision eMail®. Only those subscribers responding affirmatively will be opted-in to future mailings sent via Precision eMail®.
CSG additionally requires that Customer stop mailing an existing list when it is determined to be in violation of CSG's anti-spam policies. Repeated violations or failures to comply with CSG's anti-spam policies will result in termination of Customer’s access to Precision eMail®.
Customer's Agreement
Customer agrees not to send Spam via Precision eMail®. For any Opt-in list of email addresses used via Precision eMail®, Customer agrees to provide CSG, upon reasonable advance written request from CSG, with the source of such email addresses, the method used for recipient sign-up, and details surrounding the process used, and whatever other reasonable information related to the transaction or sign-up process used by Customer which includes, but is not limited to, date and time of sign-up, hashed, IP address of sign-up, website from which sign-up originated, and whatever other information Customer requested at sign-up.
Customer certifies that it will not use rented or purchased lists, email append lists, or any other list that contains email addresses captured in any method other than via an opt-in basis (as defined above) in the Precision eMail® system. CSG retains the right to review Customer's lists and Precision eMail® sends to verify that Customer is abiding by the privacy and permission policies set forth herein. Customer is required to comply with this CSG’s policy and all applicable law.
CSG's Agreement to Protection of Subscriber and Privacy Protection
CSG agrees that it shall use reasonable security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of data used for Precision eMail®. Email addresses provided for Precision eMail® shall be maintained in a secure and private manner and not be used for any other purpose.
Receiving Email via Precision eMail®
Customer's subscribers and prospects shall receive emails via Precision eMail® only from Customer and only on an "opt-in" basis. Customer certifies that all email addresses transmitted via Precision eMail® are from opt-in email addresses that have given permission to Customer to send them email messages, including those sent using Precision eMail®. CSG does not allow or desire that Customer use Precision eMail® to send unwanted mail or spam.
Reporting Unwanted Mail as Spam
In the event that Customer's subscribers or prospects do not recognize the originator of email received through Precision eMail®, he, she, or it can report such event to CSG as spam by sending it to xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx. CSG shall receive, investigate, catalog, and take action based on such reported events. In addition, such Precision eMail® may be reported to any spam reporting entity, including Spamcop at xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx. Customer's subscribers' Precision eMail® providers (AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo) “report as spam”
mechanism may also be used to notify the ISP of the spam message. ISPs use this information to determine good senders from bad senders; CSG will regularly work with ISPs to take action based on such data. Alternatively, reputable anti-spam blacklist groups will identify a spam issue and inform ISPs of that issue. CSG will work with anti-spam blacklist groups and will strive to address all issues to such groups' satisfaction.
Removal From the Precision EMail® List:
Each email sent through Precision eMail® shall contain a link that will allow a Precision eMail® subscriber or prospect to unsubscribe from receiving Precision eMail® from the sender. Except for Precision eCare produced e-mails (with respect to which subscriber or prospect requests to unsubscribe from receiving Precision eCare related e-mail from the sender shall be sent to a Customer hosted site), CSG will provide Customer with a daily file containing the email address, date, time, and for each subscriber or prospect that has requested to unsubscribe from receiving Precision eMail® from the sender. Each Precision eMail® shall contain an easy and automated way to unsubscribe. A Precision eMail® subscriber or prospect shall also have the ability to change his, hers, or its expressed interest at any time and to have the ability to unsubscribe or change expressed interests by following instructions that shall be placed at the bottom of any Precision eMail®.
Information Will Not Be Shared, Sold or Rented
CSG will not share, sell, or rent individual, personal or other information without obtaining the Customer’s advance permission, unless ordered by a court of law. Information submitted to CSG is available only to its employees responsible for managing such data.
Anti-Spam Policy information is available at: [************; or email at: ***************@**************].

Section 2.3 of the Agreement all restrictions related to “Designated Environments” under the Agreement will not apply to the Ascendon System.
CSG may discontinue the supply and support of a given Ascendon Element or Consumer Experience provided to Customer under an Ascendon Service Order (i) as provided in and subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 of this Exhibit and Section 7.2 (iii) of the Agreement, (ii) if a Third Party Product or such Ascendon Element or Consumer Experience requires the use of a Third Party Product, CSG can no longer secure the supply of such Third Party Product despite its commercially reasonable best efforts to do so, (iii) if the continued supply and support (x) poses a security issue that, after commercially reasonable efforts, cannot be mitigated or (y) causes or will cause CSG to violate applicable law; so long as in any case under (i)-(iii) above: (1) CSG makes available a replacement that provide equivalent or better functionality, performance, and security based on support of Customer’s then current use of the Ascendon System and Ascendon SaaS Services and on comparable fees, terms and conditions as the discontinued Ascendon Element or Consumer Experience; (2) CSG allows Customer such time as it reasonably requires to transition to any such replacement with (A) no less than [*** ******* and ****** (***) ****] if CSG initiates such discontinuance and (B) that period of time permitted by the third party provider that initiates or is responsible for such discontinuance; and (3) CSG performs such transitional and integration services as are reasonably necessary to facilitate the transition at no cost to Customer.

The specific configuration of the Ascendon System and Third Party Products Customer is entitled to access and use shall be as set forth in each Ascendon Service Order (the “Customer Ascendon Solution”).

(b) If Customer provides CSG a Statement of Errors that includes a new Exception that could have been reasonably discovered by Customer in a previously submitted version of a Candidate Deliverable but was not cited in any preceding Statement of Errors relative to such Candidate Deliverable (a “Pre-Existing Exception”), then CSG shall not be deemed to have violated any representation or warranty contained in the Agreement relative to such Pre-Existing Exception. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit CSG’s obligation under this Section 3.4 or Section 7.1 of this Exhibit to remedy an Exception and Customer shall not be liable for any breach of the Agreement as a result of any failure by Customer, acting in good faith, to notify CSG of an Exception reasonably discoverable in the Review Period.
This Article 4, Attachment 4 and Attachment 4-A shall define CSG’s Ascendon Support Services obligations with respect to the Ascendon System and Ascendon SaaS Services and shall apply to the Ascendon System and Ascendon SaaS Services in lieu of Sections 4.1 and 4.3 of the Agreement, provided, however, to the extent Ascendon SaaS Services are provided for use in conjunction with the ACP System, CSG’s Support Services obligations under Schedule H of the Agreement shall also apply to those Products, Services or elements of the ACP System.

Termination of an Order Document shall not release either Party from liability which at the date of termination has accrued but remains un-discharged, nor adversely affect in any way the survival of any other right, duty or obligation of a Party which is expressly stated to survive notwithstanding termination of an Order Document or the Agreement.
The below Section 6.3 shall apply to the Ascendon Services in lieu of Section 6.2 of the Agreement.
If requested by Customer in its sole discretion, the Parties will comply with the following transition provisions following the termination or expiration of the Agreement or an Order Document in order to allow Customer to wind down the Customer Services or transition from CSG’s provision of the Ascendon SaaS Services to a third-party or internal Customer solution.

CSG shall provide support on a [******** *** ******** ** **** ********* and during *:** ** – *:** ** ******* ****** *** *** *********].
Support Levels
CSG shall escalate support issues as follows:
Level 1 Support (ISD): CSG provides initial support through CSG’s ISD, which shall provide for the initial triage of an issue. The ISD may be contacted via telephone (required for Critical and High Incidents) email or web (through CSG’s extranet at [*****://*****************]) and will work with the Customer to collect pertinent information, understand the issue and attempt to replicate and Resolve. If, after the ISD’s investigatory resources are exhausted, the ISD is still unable to Resolve the Incident, it will escalate to Level 2 Support.
Level 2 Support (Operations): Once the ISD escalates the Incident to Operations, Operations begins troubleshooting and analyzing the Incident. Operations has additional security rights permitting it to dig deeper into the issue through database queries, server reviews and monitoring. If, after the Operations’ investigatory resources are exhausted the Incident remains unresolved, the issue will be escalated to Level 3 Support.
Level 3 Support (Development, QA, etc.): If necessary, the Level 3 Support Team will be engaged to attempt to determine root cause for the reported and unresolved Incident. The Level 3 Support team may include developers, Quality Assurance analysts, and/or implementation analysts with additional access permissions to review code or provide additional technical insight into expected versus actual behavior of the Ascendon System.
Service Level Metrics for Ascendon Support Services, Escalations and Incident Corrections.

(b) Notwithstanding the [******* ************** ** ** ******** ** “******” *** *** ********** ********** ******, Customer may request CSG ****** **** ****** ******** * ****** ******** ***** if such ****** ******** ********* ******* *** ******** *******]. In such case, Customer shall escalate the Incident to its Account Manager and the ISD and the Parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, will [**** ** ******** ****** ** *********** ******** ******** ***** *** ********** ********** ****** consistent with the ******** **** **********] by Customer.
(c) Within [**** (*) ****] of a Critical or High Incident, CSG agrees to provide Customer a report (an “Incident Report”) that (i) describes the Incident, (ii) includes a root cause analysis of the Incident, (iii) identifies the nature of the Resolution of such issue, including if such Resolution is an Acceptable Workaround and (iv) identifies the need and, if applicable, timing, of CSG to implement an Incident Correction.
