2.1. Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement (the “Master Agreement”), Synacor will provide the services described in this Agreement (collectively, the “Services”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and those set forth in Schedules X, X, X, X, X, X, X and H, each of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference and any other schedules, attachments, exhibits, addenda, amendments or riders as may subsequently be agreed to and signed by the Parties and attached to this Agreement from time to time (collectively, this “Agreement”). This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes, in its entirety, that Master Services Agreement between Synacor and Client dated September 30, 2004. Synacor may provide the Services directly to Client, [*] Synacor will remain primarily responsible for the delivery of the Services to Client in accordance with this Agreement; [*]. Each Party will provide the other with reasonable cooperation, assistance, information and access as may be lawful and necessary to initiate Client’s and its registered users’ use of the Services (such as, for example, developing any content, user interfaces or appearance specific to the Services contracted for by Client). The Services will be available to customers of Client who have entered into a subscription agreement with Client to procure Client’s high speed Internet access service or other Client service (collectively, “Subscribers”) and others through Client’s Internet portal (all users of the Services through Client’s Internet portal, whether or not Subscribers, are referred to in this Agreement as “Users”). The Parties agree that Synacor will provide to Client the Internet portal through which Client’s Subscribers will access Premium Content (as such term is defined in Schedule E) and services, except as otherwise set forth herein. Such Premium Content and services may be provided to Client by Synacor or other providers of such content and services. Synacor Sourced Content (as such term is defined in Schedule E) will be provided pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Client Sourced Content (as such term is defined in Schedule E) will be integrated into the Synacor portal by Synacor’s professional services organization, subject to the applicable provisions of Schedule A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Synacor understands and agrees that Client may from time to time merge with or acquire additional cable systems or assets of other cable systems (each an “Acquired System”), [*]

2.2. Technical Support. Synacor will provide the Services and technical support services in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement, including Schedule F.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

2.3. Limitations. Synacor will not be responsible for, nor liable hereunder in connection with, any failure in the Services to the extent such failure results from: (a) the performance and availability of any Client Materials (as defined in Section 3.3) or other content provided by or for Client by parties other than Synacor; (b) Client’s negligence or willful acts or omissions; (c) third-party telecommunications or equipment failures outside of Synacor’s facilities, except for those facilities that are owned, operated or maintained by Synacor or by a third party on behalf of Synacor and are necessary for Synacor to deliver the Services; and (d) Service downtime resulting from scheduled maintenance as set forth in Schedule F. Further, except for breaches of Synacor’s representation and warranty set forth in Section 8.1(g), and Synacor’s performance requirements set forth in Schedule F and Schedule G, Synacor will not be responsible for, or liable hereunder, in connection with, any failure in the Services due to or resulting from unauthorized access, breach of firewalls or other hacking by third parties of the Synacor system (the “System”) any and all of which is not caused or enabled by Synacor’s acts or omissions.

2.4. Data. As between Synacor and Client, Client will own all Subscriber names, login IDs, passwords, click-stream data and other Subscriber registration or other information provided by Client or provided by or collected from Subscribers in connection with the Services, including any identification numbers or other information provided or used by Synacor to identify or distinguish between Subscribers (“Account Information”). Unless otherwise agreed to by Client in advance and in writing, Synacor will not disclose to third parties or use any Account Information except as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to comply with any legal or regulatory requirement; provided that, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, Synacor will provide Client with prompt notice of any such legal or regulatory requirement in order that Client may comply with the provisions of 47 U.S.C.A § 551 and seek a protective order with respect to such Account Information. To avoid uncertainty, each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject at all times to Section 5.2, Synacor may disclose aggregate information (not personally identifiable), including click-stream data of Users and Service usage and performance derived from Account Information to third party content providers from whom Synacor obtains distribution rights to the Synacor Sourced Content (“Synacor Providers”), investors, and Synacor customers for one or more of the following purposes: (i) benefit of Client, (ii) purpose of marketing Synacor’s products and services, and (iii) purpose of discussions about Synacor with the investor community, but only to the extent aggregated with similar data derived from Synacor’s other customers; provided that in any case, no such information will identify Client or any User or contain any Client-specific or User-specific information unless otherwise required by applicable law. Synacor will provide Client with all Account Information in a format chosen by Client within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of written notice from Client requesting the same. This Section 2.4 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

3. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1. Client Support; Synacor Status. Client acknowledges that the continuing performance of certain Services may depend on Client’s reasonable cooperation with, and provision of reasonable assistance, information and access to, Synacor. Synacor will not be liable for any delay in its performance to the extent caused by Client’s failure to timely provide any of the foregoing reasonably requested by Synacor. The Parties’ representatives (designated in Section 1.1) are responsible for facilitating communication between Synacor and Client regarding all technical and business matters.

3.2. Regulations. Client will use the Services only in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations (including laws related to “spamming,” privacy, obscenity and defamation) (collectively, the “Regulations”). Client acknowledges and agrees that each Subscriber’s access to the Services will be subject to such Subscriber’s acceptance of Client’s “end user agreement” or “terms of use” regarding the Service and continuing compliance with the Regulations, and Client will maintain website use terms and conditions that will purport to govern the use of the Client Branded Portal by all Users. Synacor has no obligation to confirm the compliance with this Section 3.2 of the Client Materials or other content provided by or for Client, except for Synacor Sourced Content. Synacor may monitor the Client Materials, however, and may remove any content or disable any use of the Services that Synacor, in good faith and with a reasonable basis, determines to be in violation of any Regulation, provided that Synacor provides Client with at least [*] prior notice of such violating content so that Client will have the opportunity to review and make any necessary change to any such offending content.

[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

3.3. Materials and Equipment. Client will provide (on its own behalf, or on behalf of its sponsors or advertisers) certain materials, domain names, Client Sourced Content and other information (collectively, “Client Materials”) to Synacor as is reasonably necessary for Synacor to perform the Services. Client represents and warrants that it has the right to provide all Client Materials, and that use of such Client Materials in accordance with this Agreement will not violate Client’s obligations under any other agreement, the Regulations and any privacy policies covering any Client Materials. Except for any hardware, software and other technology used by Synacor to provide the Services, Client will be responsible for obtaining, operating and maintaining in good working order all equipment and ancillary services under Client’s control needed to permit Users to connect to, access or otherwise use the Services via the Internet, including modem termination systems, authentication and provisioning servers, network hardware and software and such network and communication services necessary to connect Users to the Internet, but excluding customer premises equipment (“Equipment”). Client will be responsible for the maintenance and integrity and security of its Equipment (physical, electronic and otherwise), Account Information, passwords, Client Materials and other data; provided, however, that Synacor will be responsible for the security thereof in accordance with this Agreement when such equipment, materials, information and data are under its control.

4. CLIENT LICENSE; SYNACOR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

4.1. License Grant. Client hereby grants to Synacor during the Term a nonexclusive, worldwide and royalty-free right and license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, perform and display the Client Materials and the Client’s Marks (as defined herein) solely in connection with the provision by Synacor of the Services hereunder and in accordance with any use guidelines therefor as Client may provide from time to time.

4.2. No Implied Licenses. Except for the limited rights and licenses expressed hereunder, each Party will retain all right, title and interest in and to its logos and product and service names, which will at all times remain trademarks of such Party (the “Marks”), technology and other intellectual property (including in the case of Synacor, the Services and the software used by Synacor to provide the Services (the “Software”)). Neither Party will take any action inconsistent with such ownership. Each Party acknowledges that, as between the Parties, Client’s Marks and Synacor’s Marks are the exclusive property of the respective Party or one or more entities affiliated with such Party, and neither Party has, nor will acquire, any proprietary rights thereto by reason of this Agreement or otherwise. This is a contract for services only. All software, hardware and other technology used to provide the Services will be installed, accessed and maintained only by or for Synacor and no license therein is granted to Client. Client will not use Synacor’s Marks, Software or Services in any manner except as specifically provided herein. Synacor will not use Client’s Marks in any manner, except as specifically provided herein. No title to or ownership of any Client Sourced Content, Client Marks or Client Materials or any part thereof is hereby transferred to Synacor or any third party, nor will any rights therein accrue to Synacor or any third party as the result of the performance under this Agreement by either Party.

4.3. Restrictions. Except as specifically permitted in this Agreement, Client will not, directly or indirectly: (a) use any of Synacor’s Proprietary Information (as such term is defined in Section 5.1) to create any software that is similar to the Software or to provide any service that is similar to the Service; (b) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or use any similar means to attempt to discover the source code of the Software or the trade secrets therein, or otherwise circumvent any technological measure that controls access to the Software or Services; (c) encumber, transfer, rent, lease, or time-share the Software or Services, or use the Software or Services in any service bureau arrangement or otherwise for the benefit of any third party, except for Users; (d) access, copy, distribute, manufacture, adapt, create derivative works of or otherwise modify the Software; (e) remove any proprietary notices; or (f) knowingly permit any third party to engage in any of the acts proscribed in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Synacor acknowledges and agrees that Client may make the Services available to subscribers of Client’s cable systems that are sold or otherwise transferred on a transitional basis for up to 12 months and such transition services will not be deemed a violation of this Section 4.3.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY.

5.1. Proprietary Information. Each Party agrees that neither it nor its representatives will disclose to any third party during the Term and for a period of not less than [*] after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Proprietary Information (as defined herein) of the other and each of the Parties desires to protect the confidentiality of its own Proprietary Information, provided that the prohibition against disclosure by

[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Synacor of any personally identifiable information attributable to Client’s customers (except as required by or otherwise permitted under applicable law), will remain in effect in perpetuity subject only to applicable law. For purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” means any information disclosed by either Party in the following forms: (a) information originally disclosed in written, graphic, machine-readable or any other tangible medium, to the extent marked with a “confidential,” “proprietary” or similar legend, or (b) information disclosed orally or visually, to the extent identified as Proprietary Information at the time of such original disclosure. For purposes hereof and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and without limiting Synacor’s right to disclose aggregate data under Section 2.4, any and all Account Information or other User information will be deemed Proprietary Information of Client whether or not marked as such, or identified as such, prior to disclosure.

Exceptions: The receiving Party will have no obligation to preserve the confidentiality of Proprietary Information to the limited extent that it:

5.1.1. was previously and independently known to the receiving Party free of any obligation to keep it confidential;

5.1.2. is or becomes publicly available by means other than unauthorized or illegal disclosure;

5.1.3. is developed by or on behalf of the receiving Party independently of any Proprietary Information furnished under this Agreement; or

5.1.4. is received from a third party whose disclosure thereof does not violate any confidentiality obligation.

The Party claiming that any of the foregoing exceptions applies will have the burden of proving such applicability. Any issue that the receiving Party may have as to the confidentiality expectations of the disclosing Party regarding particular information will be submitted to the disclosing Party prior to the disclosure under consideration for determination.

5.2. Non-Disclosure. Each Party will refrain from copying Proprietary Information, in whole or in part, except as required in furtherance of the uses permitted by this Agreement and subject to the accurate reproduction of all proprietary legends and notices located in the originals, and will limit dissemination of Proprietary Information to employees and agents of such Party, or of such Party’s affiliates, who (i) have a need to know the Proprietary Information in furtherance of the uses permitted by this Agreement and (ii) are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto that are no less stringent than those required of the Parties hereunder. Except for the specific rights granted by this Agreement, neither Party will use or disclose any Proprietary Information of the other Party without its written consent and will ensure that its systems and network are secure in such a manner as to prevent any such disclosure in accordance with this Section. For purposes of clarification, under no circumstances will Synacor disclose the personally identifiable information of Client’s customers to any third party (even if under contract to that party). Furthermore, each Party will keep this Agreement and its terms confidential and will make no press release or public disclosure, either written or oral, regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Party; provided that such specific obligation 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. The receiving Party will treat the Proprietary Information of the other Party with the same degree of confidentiality with which it treats its own Proprietary Information, and, in any event, the receiving Party will use a commercially reasonable degree of care to protect the Proprietary Information of the other Party. Each Party will bear the responsibility for any breach of confidentiality by its employees, agents, auditors or contractors. The terms and conditions of this Agreement will be kept confidential, except for (a) disclosure as may be required by law, regulation, court or government agency of competent jurisdiction (redacted to the greatest extent possible); or (b) disclosure to each Party’s respective officers, directors, employees and attorneys, in their capacity as such; provided that, such persons will be subject to this Section 5.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose the existence, but not the specific terms, of this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Party.

5.3. Required Disclosure. Nothing herein will prevent a receiving Party from disclosing all or part of the other’s Proprietary Information as necessary pursuant to the lawful requirement of a governmental agency or when disclosure is required by operation of law; provided, that prior to any such disclosure, (a) the receiving Party

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

uses reasonable efforts to promptly notify the disclosing Party in writing of such requirement to disclose, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by law; (b) the receiving Party uses reasonable efforts to cooperate fully with the disclosing Party in protecting against any such disclosure or obtaining a protective order; (c) the receiving Party discloses only that portion of Proprietary Information that it is advised in writing by counsel it is required to disclose; and (d) the receiving Party uses reasonable efforts to obtain safeguards that confidential treatment reasonably acceptable to the disclosing Party will be accorded to such Proprietary Information. Any such required disclosure will not, in and of itself, change the status of the disclosed information as Proprietary Information under the terms of this Section 5.

5.4. Unauthorized Disclosure. The receiving Party will notify the disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any actual or reasonably suspected compromise, unauthorized use or disclosure of Proprietary Information, or any other breach of this Section 5, and will cooperate with the disclosing Party in every reasonable way to help the disclosing Party regain possession of the Proprietary Information and prevent any further compromise, unauthorized use or disclosure.

5.5. Return of Proprietary Information; Ownership. All Proprietary Information will remain the exclusive property of the disclosing Party and a valuable trade secret of such Party and the original and all copies thereof, on whatever physical, electronic or other media such Proprietary Information may be stored, will be returned upon the earlier to occur of: (a) the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, or (b) within ten (10) business days of the disclosing Party’s request, provided that return in the latter case will not relieve the disclosing Party of its obligations otherwise to perform under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party’s legal counsel may retain one copy for its files solely to provide a record of such Confidential Information for archival purposes. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as granting any license or other rights under any patents or copyrights of either Party, or any rights in or to Proprietary Information of either Party, except for the limited rights to use and disclose such Proprietary Information expressly granted to the other Party in this Agreement.

5.6. Relief. The Parties each acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy if this Section 5 is breached and, therefore, the disclosing Party will, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies, be entitled to seek an injunction or similar equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach.

5.7. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO CLIENT CUSTOMER INFORMATION. Any collection, maintenance, disclosure or use of the personally identifiable information of Client’s customers will be undertaken by Synacor (i) to the extent applicable, in accordance with the subscriber information collecting business practices of Client and in a manner that does not violate or cause Client to be in violation of Client’s written customer privacy policy (a copy of which can be found at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxx) and, in all cases; (ii) in compliance with any applicable laws (domestic or foreign) governing the collection, maintenance, transmission, dissemination, use and destruction thereof, including specifically the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq., and any applicable state and/or federal security breach notification laws; and (iii) in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Association Security Standards, to the extent the recipient has access to any Client customer’s payment card information. In the event that any changes in Client’s customer privacy policy are adopted after the date of this Agreement, and such changes are reasonably anticipated to result in materially increased costs to Synacor, the parties will work in good faith to determine what modifications to the Services and Software are necessary and to negotiate any costs associated with such modifications.

Synacor will retain all personally identifiable or payment card information of Client’s customers only for so long as is reasonably necessary to complete the purposes for which such information has been disclosed to Synacor, unless otherwise specified by a mutual written agreement of the Parties. Synacor will thereafter, at Client’s election, permanently destroy or, to the extent such information was provided by Client, return such customer information to Client with a certification signed by an officer of Synacor that all such customer information has been destroyed or returned.

Upon reasonable request from Client, Synacor will provide access to, and the right to inspect, all of Synacor’s records relating to (i) the collection, processing, or transfers of data relating to the personally identifiable or payment card information of Client’s customers and (ii) the information security measures used by Synacor to secure any

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

such information. Synacor further agrees to cooperate in any regulatory investigation or in any internal investigation by Client (and in responding to any inquiry by any Client customer) relating to the same. In the event of any such investigation or inquiry, upon notice to Synacor, Client may suspend any further transfers, disclosure of, and access to the personally identifiable or payment card information of Client’s customers 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 either party from any liability arising under this Agreement or any other commercial agreements between Synacor and Client. Client understands and agrees that such suspension may hinder Synacor’s performance of certain Services under this Agreement that may be contingent on use of the personally identifiable or payment card information of Client’s customers, and Client waives any claims for breach of this Agreement and waives any right to damages to the extent Synacor’s failure to perform Services is caused by such suspension.

6. SYNACOR FEES, PAYMENT TERMS AND TAXES.

6.1. Fees. Synacor’s fees for the Services are set forth in the Pricing Schedule attached hereto as Schedule A (the “Fees”).

6.2. Payment Terms. Except to the extent specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, payments required under this Agreement will be made as follows:

6.2.1. Within [*] during the Term, Client will provide to Synacor a report describing all information reasonably necessary for Synacor to calculate the fees payable to Synacor with respect to Premium Products, Advertising Revenue received by Client, and other matters for which Synacor’s fee is based on information in Client’s possession that is not available through the System. [*]

6.2.2. Within [*] during the Term, Synacor will provide to Client a report describing in reasonable detail (a) all revenue received by Synacor in the course of its performance of the Services that is used in determining the amounts payable to each Party under the terms of this Agreement, including all search and advertising revenue, (b) all costs and expenses for which Synacor is entitled under the Schedules to reimbursement from such revenues, (c) all other adjustments and deductions from such revenues, if any, that Synacor is entitled to make under the Schedules, and (d) a calculation of the resulting net amount owed by one Party to the other Party with respect to such revenues (after factoring in the revenue share and other fees earned on such amounts in accordance with the Schedules). Concurrently with or following the delivery of such report, and subject to Section 6.2.3, and in no event later than [*], Synacor will pay to Client all of Client’s share of revenue received by Synacor during such month, [*]

6.2.3. [*]

Subject to the terms set forth in this Section 6, all payments will be made in full in United States Dollars, at the respective Party’s usual corporate office business address or to an account designated by the respective Party. Other than amounts disputed in good faith by a Party, [*] Either Party, in

[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement if the Party from whom payment is required, fails to pay the required amounts within [*] after the such Party receives written notice from the Party to whom payment must be made, that it has failed to pay any or all of the amounts required hereunder and such amounts are not in dispute. Each Party must notify the other of any disputed amounts within [*]

6.3. Taxes. Client will bear, be responsible for, and will pay any and all sales, use, personal property or other taxes imposed on the delivery, licensing or use of the Client Branded Portal or the provision of the Services. Synacor will pay all other taxes arising under this Agreement, including taxes based upon Synacor’s net income or ad valorem, personal, or real property taxes imposed on Synacor’s property. [*]

7. TERM AND TERMINATION.

7.1. Term. This Agreement will be effective as of the Effective Date and continue in full force and effect for one year following the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”) and will automatically renew for up to three additional terms of one year each (each a “Renewal Term” and collectively the Initial Term and any Renewal Term(s) being referred to as the “Term”). Client may prevent the automatic renewal by providing Synacor written notice of its intent not to renew at any time prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term (a “Nonrenewal Notice”).

7.2. Termination for Cause. In addition to any of its other remedies, either Party may terminate this Agreement in the event that the other Party materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party.

Should either Party be subject to a “Change of Control” (as hereafter defined), then such Party will provide the other with written notice within thirty (30) days after executing the agreement that leads to such Change of Control. The other Party may within sixty (60) days of being notified of such Change of Control provide a notice that it desires to terminate the Agreement. If such notice of termination is not provided within such period, then this termination for change of control will be deemed to have been waived. “Change of Control” means the execution of any transaction pursuant to which a Party sells, assigns or transfers directly or indirectly to any third party all or substantially all of its business (whether by sale of assets or equity, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to a Competitor. “Competitor” means, with respect to Client, any entity providing high-speed data services (such as cable modem services, DSL, or the like) or video to home services by any means other than cable based technologies or their affiliates; and, with respect to Synacor any Internet portal, search or advertising provider, Comcast or any other entity reasonably determined to be a direct competitor of Synacor. As to both Parties, a Competitor will also be construed to include “affiliates” of a Competitor as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

7.3. Transition Period. Upon the expiration and non-renewal of the Term under Section 7.1 or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2, in addition to and without in any way limiting its rights under Section 7.5, Client will have the right to delay such termination or expiration of this Agreement and continue the Term for a transition period of [*] beyond the date on which this Agreement would otherwise terminate or expire, as applicable, as Client may determine in its sole discretion, during which timeframe both Parties will continue to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement; [*]

7.4. Effects of Termination. Upon any expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, and subject to Section 7.3, all rights and obligations of the Parties will cease, except that: (a) all obligations that accrued prior to the effective date of termination (including all payment obligations) will survive termination; (b) each Party will destroy (upon the written request of the other Party) or return to the other Party all of the other’s Proprietary Information in its possession or under its control pursuant to Section 5.5; and (c) Synacor will, after providing Client

[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

with an electronic copy of such information and data in a mutually agreeable format, delete archived Account Information, other User identification information used or maintained by Synacor, and other transaction data (including all personally identifiable information of such Users). The provisions of Sections 2.4 (Data), 4.2 and 4.3 (Proprietary Rights), 5 (Confidentiality), 6 (Synacor Fees, Payment Terms and Taxes), but only to the extent accruing prior to the effective date of termination, 8 (Representations and Warranties; Indemnities), 9 (Limitations of Liability and Disclaimers), 10 (Open APIs and RSS Feeds), 12 (Records and Audit), to the extent set forth in such section, 13 (General Provisions) and this Section 7 will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

7.5. Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that:

(a)

Synacor ceases to do business;

(b)

Synacor discontinues providing the Services to Client for a period of two days; or

(c)

the Services provided to Client are not provided by a successor company to which assignment of this Agreement is effected (i) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (ii) in order to enable Client to provide for the seamless migration of Client’s Subscribers to an alternate system operated by Client;

at Client’s option, Synacor will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Synacor providers to enter into direct agreements with Client or third party service provider selected by Client on terms and conditions that are the same or substantially similar to the terms and conditions pursuant to which Synacor received such content. In addition, the Parties have attached hereto as Schedule H a copy of an executed Escrow Agreement whereby Synacor has placed the source code for the proprietary software that enables the presentation and delivery of the Services in an escrow account, which the Parties agree will be released to Client pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 1 (“Release Conditions”) of Exhibit C of such Escrow Agreement. Further, upon the occurrence of an event described in (a), (b), or (c) of this Section 7.5, Synacor will provide Client with access to, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Client in order for Client to continue to operate the Services for the benefit of Users.

8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNITIES.

Synacor represents and warrants to Client that (a) Synacor is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation and has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the provisions hereof; (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Synacor does not conflict with any agreement, instrument or contract, to which Synacor is bound; (c) Synacor will perform its obligations and provide the Services to Client in a professional and workmanlike manner and in compliance with any and all applicable laws; (d) Synacor owns all right, title and interest in and to the Synacor Sourced Content and the Software and the System, each element thereof, and all intellectual property rights embodied therein or licensed to Client pursuant to this Agreement; or, in the case of any third party content, software, technology or information included therein, Synacor possesses, or has otherwise obtained all rights and valid licenses necessary to grant to Client all rights and licenses set forth in this Agreement; (e) Synacor has all necessary rights to provide the Services to Client under this Agreement and all rights of publicity with respect to any artists, artwork, text material, images, sound or video, if any, provided by Synacor in connection with the Services; (f) the Synacor Sourced Content, the System and the Services, in whole or in part, do not and will not infringe upon or interfere with any right of publicity, patent, trademark, copyright, trade name or other intellectual property rights or misappropriate any trade secret of any third party; and (g) Synacor will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect its network in accordance with applicable industry standards (without abrogating or otherwise limiting its obligations under Section 5) to insure that Synacor’s network and the Services are secure from unauthorized access and are free from any viruses, worms, or other code that will damage, interrupt or interfere with any software, content, data or hardware. Synacor further represents and warrants that, to its knowledge, the Synacor Sourced Content and the Services are not defamatory, obscene, or otherwise unlawful in any jurisdiction.

Client will be fully responsible for, and will reimburse Synacor for any and all liabilities arising out of any warranty concerning the Services made by Client to any User, prospect or other third party, except as expressly authorized in advance in writing by Synacor; provided that neither Client’s grant nor any breach by Client of any warranty given by Client to its Users will be deemed to abrogate any expressly provided remedies Client would otherwise be entitled to under this Agreement.

8.3. Synacor Indemnifications. Synacor will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Client from and against any and all liabilities, claims, judgments, costs, damages, suits, actions, proceedings, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively “Claims”) suffered or incurred by Client, arising out of or resulting from: (i) Synacor’s breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement, or its representations and warranties set forth herein; (ii) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by Synacor herein to be true; (iii) any third party claims relating to the matters covered by the foregoing breaches or failures; (iv) any injuries to persons or damage to property caused by the negligent, willful or intentional acts or omissions of Synacor, its agents or employees; and (v) any third party claims relating to the Services.

8.5. Claims. In case any Claim is brought by a third party for which indemnification is or may be made pursuant to this Agreement, the indemnified Party will provide prompt written notice thereof to the other Party; provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified Party to comply with the foregoing notification provision will not relieve the indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent the indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Where obligated to indemnify such Claim, the indemnifying Party will, upon the demand and at the option of the indemnified Party, assume the defense thereof (at the expense of the indemnifying Party) within thirty (30) days or at least ten (10) days prior to the time a response is due in such case, whichever occurs first. The Parties will cooperate reasonably with each other in the defense of any Claim, including making available (under seal if desired and if allowed) all records reasonably necessary to the defense of such Claim, and the indemnified Party will have the right to join and participate actively in the indemnifying Party’s defense of the Claim. Each Party will be entitled to prior notice of any settlement of any Claim to be entered into by the other Party, and any such settlement will be subject to the reasonable approval to the extent such Party’s rights would be directly and materially impaired.

Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any Claim or threatened Claim of infringement involving a portion of any portion of the Software or Services provided by Synacor: (i) upon Client’s request and at Synacor’s expense, Synacor will [*] procure the right or license [*] for Client to continue to use and otherwise exploit in accordance with the terms hereof such portion of the Software or Services at no additional cost or expense to Client other than the fees set forth herein; or (ii) at Synacor’s sole discretion, but upon as much prior written notice to Client as is reasonably practicable, Synacor may modify or alter

(to the extent that Synacor has rights to so modify or alter), or delete any such portion of the Software or Services, as the case may be, so as to make such portion non-infringing while maintaining substantially comparable functionalities and capabilities of such parts of the Software or Services that are material to Client’s then-current or demonstrably anticipated use hereunder. The Parties agree that Synacor’s commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy (i) or (ii) above will include procurement of such licenses or making such modifications at costs up to and including the lesser of [*]. If options (i) and (ii) are not achievable as to any such portion: (1) Client may terminate the rights and licenses granted hereunder, in its sole discretion, as to such infringing portion, or this Agreement without liability if loss of such portion materially and adversely affects the Services or functionality Client expects hereunder; or (2) to the extent Synacor used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a license or modify the Software or Services as set forth in subsections (i) or (ii) and where Synacor is reasonably exposed to material liability from Client’s continued use of such portion of the technology or services, Synacor may, in its discretion, terminate the rights and licenses granted hereunder with respect to such portion. If, pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence, Client or Synacor terminate the rights and licenses granted hereunder as to any portion of any Software or Services provided by Synacor and Client does not elect to terminate this Agreement, if applicable, the Parties will thereafter negotiate in good faith for a period of not less than 30 days with respect to reduced fees under this Agreement.

9. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMERS.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding except with respect to Synacor’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.3, neither Party will be liable to the other Party, its agents, affiliates, clients, or any other persons, for any lost profits or indirect, incidental, special, punitive, consequential or similar damages, even if advised in advance of the possibility of such damages. In no event will either Party’s liability for any and all claims, in the aggregate, arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the performance of its obligations hereunder exceed the lesser of [*]

10. OPEN APIs AND RSS FEEDS.

From time to time, Synacor may offer Client the ability to include certain functionality on the Client Branded Portal that Synacor will integrate via publicly available open APIs, RSS feeds, or similar technology. The providers of open APIs and RSS feeds often (i) do not include product representations, warranties or indemnifications in their terms of use, (ii) make no commitment that the functionality will continue to be available, and (iii) disclaim liability associated with such products. To the extent legally and contractually permitted, Synacor hereby assigns to Client all warranties and rights to indemnification provided to Synacor, if any, with respect to such open APIs, RSS Feeds, and similar technology, and any performance or use thereof. Synacor agrees to reasonably cooperate with Client in connection with the enforcement of such rights.

Synacor will work cooperatively and in good faith with Client in connection with the evaluation of any open APIs, RSS Fees or other technology and, when making a recommendation with respect to the integration of such technology, will exercise ordinary and reasonable diligence and care in doing so. Client may elect, in its sole discretion, to have Synacor include functionality made available through open APIs, RSS feeds, and the like on the Client Branded Portal. In such event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following will apply thereto:

(a) Such functionality is provided on an “as is” basis, and Synacor makes no representations or warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise with respect thereto and any use or inability to use such functionality. Synacor disclaims all warranties related thereto, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement;

(b) Synacor disclaims any liability for any damages of any kind arising from use of, or inability to use, such functionality, or from any removal of such functionality from the Client Branded Portal, including direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential or exemplary damages, including lost data, business or anticipated profits, whether or not Synacor was aware of or advised of the possibility of such damages; and

(c) notwithstanding any indemnifications set forth in this Agreement, Synacor will not indemnify Client (or any other party) for any claims related to such functionality or any use thereof. If at any point, Client has concerns about the functionality or any use thereof, Client’s sole recourse is to remove or require removal of the functionality from the Client Branded Portal.

11. PUBLIC RELATIONS. Except as it relates to Client’s marketing of portal and related matters to Users and as otherwise permitted in Section 5.2, neither Party will issue any press release, nor otherwise disclose any information concerning this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other.

12. RECORDS AND AUDIT.

12.1. Records and Audit. Throughout the Term and for a period of [*] after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, each of the Parties will maintain books and records regarding the Services, and other matters relating to this Agreement, including server logs, and customer usage logs, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Each Party will have the right to audit such books and records of the other Party solely and directly relating to this Agreement upon reasonable notice and at its expense, [*] to take extracts from or make copies of such records. Each Party will maintain at its principal place of business during the Term and for a period of [*] thereafter all books, records, accounts, and technical materials regarding its activities in connection herewith sufficient to determine and confirm all amounts payable to the other Party and all compliance with all other material obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Upon a Party’s written

[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

request (to be provided at least ten (10) business days prior to the date of the audit), the other Party will permit one (I) or more representatives of an auditor or agent of the requesting Party’s choice to examine and audit, during normal business hours, such books, records, accounts, documentation and materials, and take extracts therefrom or make copies thereof for the purpose of verifying the correctness of payments made pursuant hereto and/or compliance with the other material obligations hereunder; provided that, the auditing Party will first obtain a written agreement from any such auditor or agent that such auditor or agent will be bound by the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 5 herein and the auditing Party will in all events be responsible to the audited Party for any action or inaction of such auditor or agent that would violate Section 5 of this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, such examination will be in material accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The audited Party will pay any unpaid, non-disputed delinquent amounts within thirty (30) days of the other Party’s request. To the extent such examination discloses an underpayment of the greater of [*] or more of the aggregate amount owed to the other Party during the period that is the subject of the audit or [*] the audited Party will fully reimburse the other Party, promptly upon demand, for the reasonable fees and disbursements due the auditor for such audit; provided that, such prompt payment will not be in lieu of any other remedies or rights available to such other Party hereunder. In all other events, all fees and expenses of the auditing Party’s auditor or agent under this Section will be paid by the auditing Party. If an audit reveals an overpayment, the auditing Party will promptly notify the other and will pay the amount of any such overpayment to the other Party within thirty (30) days thereafter.

12.2. Disputes. If any report of an audit under the provisions of Section 12.1 discloses to the auditing Party any underpayments or overpayments, a copy of such audit report will be promptly delivered to the audited Party. Unless the amount of any underpayment or overpayment shown on such report is disputed by the audited Party, in writing (a “Notice of Dispute”), within twenty (20) days after receipt of the audit report, the audit report will be deemed accepted and all amounts due thereunder will be paid according to the applicable provisions of Section 12.1. In the event that Client and Synacor have not resolved all disputed items to their mutual satisfaction within thirty (30) days after a Notice of Dispute has been received by the auditing Party, they will promptly submit such audit report and all supporting work papers to an independent accounting firm (as such independence is determined in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) of national stature in the United States selected by mutual agreement of Client and Synacor for binding review of any disputed items. All costs and expenses of such review will be apportioned between the Parties on the basis of each Party bearing the expense of that portion of the review that will be related to disputed items that are resolved against such Party. If Client and Synacor are unable to agree upon the selection of an independent accounting firm of national stature in the United States to perform the binding review of any disputed items, the determination and selection of the independent accounting firm of national stature will be settled by arbitration in New York, New York in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association.

13. GENERAL PROVISIONS. This Agreement is not transferable by either Party without the other’s prior written consent, except that, subject to Section 7.2, either Party may (without consent) assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any entity that is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with the assigning Party or to any successor entity to all or substantially all of its business (by sale or other transfer of equity or assets, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise). Except as the context otherwise requires, no consent or approval right granted under this Agreement will be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld. This Agreement will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors, representatives and permitted assigns of the Parties. This Agreement (including any schedules, exhibits, riders, addendums, amendments and attachments) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings or agreements (oral or written), between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. No change, modification or waiver to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by both Parties. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions in the Master Agreement and any schedule or other exhibit attached hereto not expressly and specifically stated otherwise, the terms and conditions of the schedule or exhibit will prevail. Except as expressly provided herein, any different or additional terms on any related purchase order, confirmation or similar form, even if signed by the Parties after the date hereof, will have no force or effect on this Agreement. The failure of either Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period will not be construed as a waiver of such rights. In the event that any provision of this Agreement will be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, will only be deemed to have been duly given the day after being sent, if sent

for next day delivery by nationally recognized overnight delivery service; or upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, USA without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing Party (whether plaintiff or defendant) will be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorney’s fees. Headings are for convenience of reference only and will in no way affect interpretation of the Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the word “including” means “including but not limited to,” and all variations of the word are similarly intended to be illustrative and not exclusive. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which (once executed) will be deemed an original, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. Neither Party will have any rights against the other Party for the non-operation of facilities or the non-furnishing of services or fulfillment of obligations if such non-operation, non-furnishing or non-fulfillment is due to an act of God or other cause beyond such Party’s reasonable control; provided, however, that no such event will relieve Synacor of its obligations to maintain and implement a disaster recovery plan under Schedule F. All remedies, whether at law, in equity or pursuant to this Agreement will be cumulative. The Parties agree that Synacor and its employees and agents will be serving Client as independent contractors for all purposes and not as employees or partners of, or joint venturers with, Client. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to constitute a fiduciary relationship between Synacor and Client, nor will anything in this Agreement be deemed to create an agency relationship between Synacor and Client. Neither Synacor nor Client will be or become liable or bound by any representation, act or omission whatsoever of the other. The provisions of this Agreement are for the exclusive benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns, and neither Party intends to benefit any other person or entity, including a “third party beneficiary,” as that term may be defined by applicable statutory or case law, and except as expressly provided in Section 8(f) of Schedule E, no person or entity who is not a party (including an obligor, borrower, or guarantor) will have any rights or claim against a Party by virtue of this Agreement.

Client will not, at any time, permit access to the Premium Content by any person via the general Internet or other access method other than through Synacor’s System.

d. Neither Synacor nor a Synacor Provider will have any liability to Client in the event a Synacor Provider exercises its rights to terminate the rights and licenses to use Synacor Sourced Content. Neither Client nor a Client Provider will have any liability to Synacor in the event a Client Provider exercises its rights to terminate the rights and licenses to use Client Sourced Content. In either case, in the event that any Content Provider exercises its right to terminate the rights and licenses to use its Content, the Party receiving notice of such exercise will use good faith efforts to provide notice to the other party at least 60 days prior to such termination.

e. Without the consent of Synacor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, Client will not: (i) send any interstitials, pop-up windows, or other messages or files to the User during the time in which any Synacor Sourced Content is displayed, or (ii) sell any advertising in, on, or related to any Synacor Sourced Content, including banners, buttons, links, streaming audio or streaming video advertisements, unless Synacor is permitted by the applicable Content Provider to sell such advertising. In connection with Synacor Sourced Content distributed pursuant to this Agreement, without the prior submission to Synacor of any relevant materials that Synacor may request (including web pages) and unless Client has obtained Synacor’s written approval, Client will not use the name, logo or any of the proprietary marks of any Synacor Provider in any sales, advertising or marketing materials.

f. Client and Synacor expressly acknowledge that, to the extent required in such Party’s agreement [*]

SCHEDULE F

SYNACOR AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT, AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROCEDURES, AND REPORTING

REQUIREMENTS

1. SERVICE LEVELS

a. General

Synacor will provide the agreed to service levels seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day, every day of the year, consisting of monitoring, reporting, notification, repair of service outages and maintenance, as set forth in this Service Level Agreement (“SLA”).

It is expected that the evaluation of Synacor’s performance against this SLA will be evaluated [*]

CONTACT INFORMATION:

Technical Service Support: 866.535.8286 or xxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx

Network Operations Center: 800.716.8347 or xxx@xxxxxxx.xxx

The foregoing Contact information may change upon reasonable notice to Client.

At Client’s request, the Parties will meet to review the application and design overview for the Client Branded Portal.

b. Monitoring

Synacor’s 24x7 network operations center will collect and monitor data involving the following performance criteria and establish automated alarms to Synacor personnel when thresholds (as described below) are exceeded:

(i)

Network connectivity from Synacor servers to the Internet;

(ii)

Reachability and page response time of web tier servers for “static” content;

(iii)

Availability and response time of internal Synacor database systems;

(iv)

VPN availability to web services provided by Charter required for the portal; and

(v)

System usage reflected by page loads, user authentications, business functions performed.

c. Portal Availability

(i) “Portal Availability” will be measured as a percentage of available minutes of Client Branded Portal functionality during each month where the Client Branded Portal is continuously operable, available and responsive to end users without significant delay or malfunction. Specific targets established by this Agreement for Portal Availability are:

•

Portal Availability of [*]; and

•

average page response times (latency) no greater than [*] (as measured by Synacor’s internal metrics).

Under the terms of this agreement, downtime counted against Portal Availability will EXCLUDE the following items:

a. downtime or degradation resulting from maintenance and occurring during a Scheduled Maintenance window or an approved Preventative Emergency Maintenance window (as defined below);

Schedule F-1

[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

b. the inability of Users to access Content as a result of such Users’ Internet or network connection;

c. impediments affecting the path (route) traveled in accessing Synacor’s systems, except for those facilities owned, operated or maintained by Synacor or by a third party on behalf of Synacor;

d. downtime or degradation resulting from bugs in third-party software not operated within the System;

e. the inability of Synacor Providers and Client Providers to update or deliver Content, provided that the inability is not due, in whole or in part, to Synacor;

f. downtime or degradation resulting from a security intrusion event as described in Section 1(f) SECURITY, below, or a ‘denial-of-service’ attack from external sources outside Synacor’s control;

g. downtime or degradation resulting from problems with Client-provided data APIs, authentication mechanisms or similar services; or

h. downtime or degradation related to email services (which is subject to a separate service level under Section 1(d)).

(ii) Due to Synacor’s distributed architecture and redundancy, it is likely that downtime (i.e., lack of Portal Availability) or degradation may only affect a subset of the total user base. Therefore, and to the extent that the parties can determine a number of households affected by any downtime, the Portal Availability will be computed based upon the percentage of households affected by the downtime, as compared to Client’s total user base. For example, if it can be objectively determined that [*] of Client’s Subscriber base (measured in households) did not meet the standard required for Portal Availability, as described in Section (c)(i) above, for [*], the downtime for purposes of calculating Portal Availability would be [*]. Client will have the right to dispute Synacor’s calculation of Portal Availability.

(iii) Portal Availability Credits – If Synacor fails to meet the Portal Availability SLA in any month during the Term, it will identify such failure in its SLA Performance Reporting described in Section 4 below and notify Client of its rights under this Section (iii) within 30 days after the end of such month. Upon request of Client within [*] after its receipt of such notification, Synacor will apply the Portal Availability credits set forth below to Client’s account for each month during which Synacor failed to meet the required Portal Availability of [*]. To the extent possible, the credits will be applied in the billing period following the month in which such failure occurs and will be detailed as a separate line item on the invoice. For example if SLA credits are due for failures that occurred in the month of September, such credits will be applied in the October billing period.

a. A credit equal to [*] of the aggregate fees paid to Synacor and Synacor’s share of Search and Advertising revenue under the Agreement in the applicable month, plus an additional [*] of such amounts for every increment of [*] by which Portal Availability fails to meet the required percentage, up to a maximum of [*] of such amounts that would otherwise have been payable by Client to Synacor or retained by Synacor for the applicable month.

b. Chronic Portal Unavailability: Client will receive the credits set forth in (a) above, and in addition will have the right to terminate the Agreement upon [*] written notice to Synacor, delivered in writing within [*] after Client’s receipt of reporting from Synacor showing that [*]

(i)

[*] or more separate occasions, each lasting [*] or more hours, over the course of any rolling [*] month period;

(ii)

[*] aggregated over any rolling [*] of time;

(iii)

[*] aggregated over any rolling [*] of time;

(iv)

[*] aggregated over any rolling [*] of time; or

Schedule F-2

[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

(v)

[*] aggregated over any rolling [*] of time.

By way of clarification, the duration of each event during which [*]. Termination rights exercised by client pursuant subsection (b) above will be deemed termination for cause under Section 7.2 of the Master Services Agreement. The remedies set forth in this Schedule F will be the sole remedy for violation of the service levels agreed to in this Schedule F.

d. Performance:

The Performance (“Performance”) of the Client Branded Portal is defined as the response time for each Client Branded Portal page as agreed upon by the Parties prior to the launch of the pertinent Client Branded Portal page (each, a “Response Time”), measured via Synacor’s internal metrics. Performance of Response Times will be tested against the Client Branded Portal page, or a steady-state portal page of similar type and size to the pertinent Client Branded Portal page if testing against the page itself is not possible. Testing will be performed using on-network server to server calls. Synacor’s responsibility for Performance includes maintenance of Web server response, authentication performance, routers, switches, or peering connections (network hardware, cross-connects, or circuits that are Synacor’s responsibility), or any other device, application or interface in Synacor’s direct control, at no less than [*] peak utilization. [*] If Synacor is unable to perform in accordance with any pertinent Response Time, then Synacor will be responsible for the following remedy:

Synacor will correct the identified Performance failures as soon as is possible using and pursuing to completion commercially reasonable efforts, and, in no event, later than [*] after receipt of written notice from Client describing in reasonable detail the Performance failure of the Client Branded Portal, Synacor will resubmit the Performance changes, in detail, to Client for testing. Client will conduct testing to verify that the Synacor corrective measures are successful during a testing period (“Test Period”) of [*]. Within [*] after the expiration of the Test Period, Client will provide Synacor with a written response accepting the Performance or rejecting the Performance (“First Rejection Notice”). Synacor will have [*] from the date Client submits a First Rejection Notice to correct the identified Performance failures. Client will conduct final Performance correction testing for a period of [*] after the expiration of the Final Test Period, Client will provide Synacor with (A) written response accepting the Performance, or (B) written rejection if Client determines in good faith that the failed criteria identified in the First Rejection Notice have still not been corrected (a “Final Rejection Notice”). [*]. If Client provides a Final Rejection Notice and the authorized representatives of each Party do not otherwise agree to pursue further Performance testing and remedies of the Client Branded Portal, the Final Rejection Notice will, at the option of Client, constitute a notice of termination of the Agreement.

e. Client Changes and/or Actions

Client acknowledges that it may have the ability to take actions or make any changes that can adversely affect the performance of the Services. In some cases, Synacor may be able to mitigate the risk of the actions or changes as described in the table below; provided however, that this risk mitigation will require Client to provide notice to Synacor of its intent to make these changes, in sufficient detail and in advance of the actual change. [*]. Some examples of when notice is required to be given to Synacor are delineated below. Client should always provide a reasonable amount of notice to Synacor before taking any actions or making any changes that may adversely affect the performance of the Services, [*]

f. Security

Synacor’s Security Team will proactively evaluate security risk, develop and implement policies and incident prevention programs, educate management and staff about security policies, and handle computer security incidents. Synacor will comply with the Security requirements set forth in Schedule G, including:

System Intrusion – In the event of a system intrusion by an unauthorized person or malicious code affecting Client, Synacor will notify Client’s Corporate Internet Security Team in writing or via email (via [xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx]) with [*] of Synacor personnel validating a bona fide intrusion occurred.

Network Security – Synacor will maintain network firewalls devices to prevent unauthorized access to the network infrastructure and systems.

g. Scheduled Maintenance Windows

Synacor will conduct System maintenance during a [*] window from [*] Eastern Time every [*], should the need for such maintenance arise (“Scheduled Maintenance”). Synacor may move or add maintenance windows as necessary upon Client’s written approval, and such approved maintenance will be considered Scheduled Maintenance. In the event a maintenance window will be needed in a given [*], Synacor will notify the Client no less than [*] prior to the window. If it is determined during the window that the Scheduled Maintenance will run over the allotted window, the Client will be notified immediately and receive regular updates until the maintenance is complete; provided that no such extension will be excluded for purposes of calculating Portal Availability, unless otherwise approved by Client in writing or by e-mail. During these scheduled maintenance windows and any extensions thereof, the system and services may be unavailable to Client and Client’s Users. [*]

h. Emergency Maintenance Notification

Emergency maintenance may be needed in two types of situations. The first is the need to repair an issue that is creating downtime or degradation to the Client Branded Portal (“Reactive Emergency Maintenance”). The second is maintenance Synacor believes would be prudent to be perform prior to the Scheduled Maintenance period to avoid potential issues (“Preventative Emergency Maintenance”). In the event that either type of emergency maintenance is required, Synacor will make reasonable efforts to notify Client about the emergency maintenance window based on practicality and the degree of adverse affect on the applicable service or availability thereof. Reactive Emergency maintenance windows are counted against Portal Availability percentages (as applicable). To the extent Client approves Preventative Emergency Maintenance (which approval expressly excuses such Preventative

Schedule F-5

[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Emergency Maintenance from the calculation of the Portal Availability percentages), or the need for the emergency maintenance window is necessitated by a Client change as described in Section 1(e) above, such maintenance will not be counted against the Portal Availability percentages.

2. Customer Support Procedures

a. Incident Management

Tier 1 – Client will provide first level support to Users, consisting of (i) handling questions from Users regarding customer and technical support, order processing, and use of the Service; and (ii) accepting and responding to problem calls from Users relating to the Service as set out in this Agreement; (iii) supporting User devices and underlying Client systems and architecture; and (iv) providing notification to Synacor of changes, maintenance, and outages of underling systems that may affect Service.

Tier 2/Tier 3 – Synacor will provide second level support to Client, consisting of (i) accepting and responding to problem escalations reported by Users or representatives of Client with regard to problems that cannot be resolved readily by Client, (ii) resolving reported problems as set forth in this Agreement, (iii) providing notification to Client of changes, maintenance, and outages of underlying systems that may affect Service.

(i)

Technical Support offered in English.

(ii)

Email address for submitting 2nd level support incidents to Synacor.

(iii)

Phone support [*]

b. Priority

Client will estimate the priority at the time the incident is reported. The priority can change at any time during the process.

Incidents will be categorized by product category, with the following priorities definitions:

Priority 1 (P1) means that the Client Branded Portal is substantially non-operational and causes severe commercial impact. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties agree that the Client Branded Portal will be deemed “substantially non-operational” [*]. P1 incidents would not include unavailability of a widget or content from a particular Content Provider.

Priority 2 (P2) means that a problem with the Client Branded Portal that causes significant commercial impact and is not a P1 incident.

Priority 3 (P3) means a non-critical problem or incident with the Client Branded Portal where Client is able to continue utilizing the Portal and that is not a P1 or P2 incident.

Priority 4 (P4) means a request or incident that is not a P1, P2 or P3 incident.

“Initial Response Time” means the elapsed time between the receipt of incident notification or escalation and the target time within which Synacor begins support as verified by a verbal or email confirmation to Client.

“Service Restore Time” means the elapsed time between the receipt of incident notification or escalation or knowledge of any incident and the target time within which Synacor has imposed a permanent fix or temporary patch, or has developed a workaround that allows use of the application substantially in accordance with its intended use and specifications. Examples of actions that may give rise to service restoration include:

(a) A workaround is delivered and implemented;

Schedule F-6

[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

(b) The recommended replacement of any third party hardware, software or any part thereof, as agreed by Client, is completed; or

(c) A product change request is generated and agreed upon by both Parties, a delivery date is established and any other related terms and conditions are agreed upon.

“Root Cause Resolve Time” means the elapsed time between the receipt of incident notification or escalation or knowledge of any incident and the target time within which Synacor has determined the root cause of the incident and a permanent fix has been implemented to return the Client Branded Portal to an operable state that is substantially the same as its pre-failure state, and with respect to software applications, a code change in the form of a patch or a new revision that corrects the problem has been delivered, successfully installed and is working.

Standard Support Response times are as follows:


Incident Priority	Initial Response Time	Service Restore Time	Root Cause Resolve Time
P1	*[]**	*[]**	*[]**
P2	*[]**	*[]**	*[]**
P3	*[]**	*[]**	*[]**
P4	*[]**	*[]**	*[]**

Client will set the initial incident priority, which may later be amended by Synacor after discussion with Client, in accordance with the priority definitions set forth above. Synacor will be primarily responsible for the control and management of incident calls and escalation to resources within Synacor.

c. Escalation Path

The escalation process consists of the reporting, troubleshooting, diagnosis, and resolution processes. All incidents are assigned to a Synacor Support Engineer substantially in accordance with the Standard Support Response Times set forth herein. However, Synacor may choose from time to time to handle issues outside of the escalation path indicated below if, in Synacor’s sole judgment, such issues either need to be escalated more quickly or can be resolved without escalation.

Client may require reasonable changes to the formatting or structure and layout of the report from time to time.

5. Synacor Application Development. Synacor will be expected to implement minor bug fixes or minor functional releases during the Term of this Agreement. Synacor is expected to implement supporting mechanisms for such work as described below:

a. Application Environments. Synacor will configure and maintain servers and network equipment as necessary to operate distinct development and stage environments (separate from the production environment) for use in development of patches to the current production release and larger functional releases planned for future dates. The development and stage environments do not need to be full-scale in terms of customer data or transaction capacity but must be able to operate all software modules used within the Portal without overlap. Client understands and agrees that such servers, network equipment, and development and staging environments may be used for multiple clients’ projects, provided that Client’s projects will not reside in such environments at the same time as other clients’ projects.

b. Software Change Documentation. Prior to the deployment of any software or configuration change to the production portal, Synacor will provide Charter a written summary (i.e., release notes) of the software change itemizing:

(i) all Client-related software changes that affect the user experience or the integration with Client included in a patch or functional release;

(ii) all fixes for previously identified defects included in the release;

(iii) all new functional enhancements included in the release; and

(iv) a summary of any quick “smoke tests” that Synacor is performing on the updated system to confirm the presence of bug fixes or new functions.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

SCHEDULE G

SYNACOR AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT

Synacor System Security Policy (“Security”)

Access Control

Synacor’s network topology is and will remain devised to keep machines hosting sensitive data (e.g., personally identifiable information (“PII”)) inaccessible from the Internet. In order to facilitate such security feature, Synacor’s underlying machines are and will remain connected only to a Private Network (defined as a network that has no public route to the Internet and cannot be accessed by any unauthorized third party), with no additional public routes thereto and incorporating a set of filtering rules, including TCP/ IP, UDP, and ICMP (“Internet Traffic”), which will discard any traffic from foreign networks or Internet Traffic going to an inappropriate Port.

Hosts (as defined herein) providing public services are and will remain insulated from the Internet by being hosted on a Private Network, with access provided only through a Firewall, which only forwards connections to designated Ports (Defined: A “port number” represents an endpoint or “channel” for network communications. Port numbers allow different applications on the same computer to utilize network resources without interfering with each other).

Access to Servers with Client Sourced Content, or sensitive Client information (“Hosts”) residing on the Private Network is and will remain limited solely to system administration tasks such as maintenance, monitoring and software and operating system upgrades. Synacor employees not directly involved with the maintenance of the Hosts will not be given access to Client-related servers, and their access is and will be limited to a separate Private Network designated for their use.

Those cases where less stringent access restrictions are necessary, such as the Hosts used by Synacor vendors to upload Content to use, are also kept and will remain separate from the more sensitive Private Networks, where no outbound route from the Public Network to the Private Network is or will be available, in order to isolate unauthorized and/or third party access.

Ownership of operating system objects, such as files, directories, and processes are and will continue to be handled with the principle of least possible privilege (e.g. read and write privileges are only granted where a demonstrable need exists). “Jails” are and will be used to further isolate running processes from the rest of the file system whenever feasible. (Defined: A “Jail” is when a process is launched with diminished permissions (i.e., access to a limited set of files and directories, in order to reduce the damage in the event of malicious execution of the process))

Synacor will use industry standards (e.g. SSL) to encrypt sensitive data in transit and commercially reasonable efforts to provide an infrastructure that will allow the data to be stored in an encrypted format meeting standard industry security requirements. Additionally such data will not be co-mingled with non-Charter data and will be protected by and accessed only by systems utilizing a 2 factor or unexploited greater authentication or equivalent security controls providing mutually agreed similar levels of protection.

Synacor also logs activity on all Client customer access including login/logout time, remote IP of customer system and what elements of the portal were used during the session.

No file sharing protocols, such as NFS (Defined: NFS or Network File System) or SMB (Defined: “SMB” or “Server Message Block”, is a protocol for sharing files, printers, serial ports, and communications abstractions such as named pipes and mail slots between computers) are or will be used to access secured hosts from the Public Network; and secure transfers will only take place over encrypted mediums using SSH/SCP (as defined herein).

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Software Integrity

The installed base of software on each Host is and will be kept as small as possible by Synacor. Software packages that have been deemed unnecessary or redundant have been eliminated so as to minimize the potential number of access points on any given Server. Only necessary software packages will be used by Synacor on a going-forward basis.

When an advisory for installed software is released from sources including CERT, SecurityFocus/BugTraq, and Synacor vendors, Synacor will immediately perform an evaluation of the relative risk. Highest priority (e.g., Priority 1) will be given where a known exploit is published that affects services accessible to public networks. Depending on the nature of the advisory, a given service may be further restricted or shut down as Synacor prepares an update.

The time frames between an advisory, triage, testing and patching will differ, as appropriate, based on the severity of the advisory. A critical patch will be applied by Synacor as soon as it has been staged and tested, and will receive the highest level of attention from Synacor staff; Client will be notified either while the patch is being evaluated, or as soon afterward as possible, when relevant to Client’s or the User’s service. Non-critical patches will be applied by Synacor as part of the Maintenance Window; however, to prevent potential security breaches, Synacor may not reveal all details (other than affected services) to Client or User until after the patch has been applied.

With few exceptions, such as a fundamental design issue that necessitates changes that cannot be easily ported to installed versions, Synacor will apply any updates related to security to the existing version of the software, even if the fix is released by an upstream source in new release. Such process will be followed in order to avoid ancillary changes that may result in undesired behavior or even new security risks.

Regardless of source, Synacor will test any updates independently for suitability before general deployment, in order to test both the correctness of the fix itself as well as its general functionality. Synacor will expedite such review process in the case of a serious risk. Such review process will involve the following steps: apply patch, build package, install on a test host, review by Synacor’s QA and System Administration personnel with an attempt to run any known exploit if one exists, install on a pilot machine, review again, and general deployment.

Data Backups, backup handling:

Synacor will perform all data backups once per night and only over a secured Private Network to a protected Host residing in a locked rack. Storage media retention will be equal to 30 days. The on-call Synacor Systems Administrator is and will be alerted in the event of a backup failure in order to facilitate immediate resolution. Synacor will encrypt all storage media that have been used to contain sensitive data. Ability to restore backups and source code will be tested during initial deployment of the Client Branded Portal, and once every six (6) months thereafter.

Monitoring and Auditing

Synacor will perform monitoring of hosts both through the use of a central server and agents running on the individual machines. Among other things, log files and running processes are and will be periodically checked by Synacor against a checklist specifically given to that class of Host. Any deviation will immediately be brought to the attention of the on-call Synacor personnel.

Such polling will occur every five (5) minutes for each Host. Push updates from the clients will also be polled on a five (5) minute interval with slight delay randomization. Processes will be run on two (2) separate machines in order to ensure connectivity to the monitoring server and facilitate bringing any failure to the immediate attention of a Synacor administrator. In addition, a test message will be sent through the monitoring notification infrastructure every thirty (30) minutes in order to ensure that the monitoring infrastructure is operating to the designed specifications.

Schedule G-2

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

In addition to local logging, each Host will be capable of and will report a subset of system events to a central Host, which will be monitored by the Synacor staff for any suspicious activity. Logs will be archived for a period of one (1) year.

Physical Security

Synacor will provide building security for each of its Service or data storage related buildings twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, and such security will include uniformed guard service, interior and exterior closed-circuit television surveillance or equivalent security measures.

Synacor’s collocation facility will also include several forms of security and access control including individual pass card access to the administration facility, with an additional secured door protecting the server room or an equivalent security method utilized to prevent physical access by unauthorized persons. Inside such facility, Synacor will provide for an additional closed-circuit television system or equivalent system to provide the additional capability for off-site monitoring by authorized personnel.

Synacor will maintain staffing of each Synacor-operated facility twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, in order to ensure constant monitoring and points of contact for any non-secured personnel. Synacor will require visitors to be signed in by Synacor personnel and will provide each visitor with escort until such time as they vacate the respective building.

The only personnel to whom physical access to Synacor’s servers will be permitted by Synacor are authorized Synacor employees, authorized paid contractors and vendors, or other entities escorted by authorized Synacor staff members.

Third Party Access

Synacor maintains the login accounts through its change management system and procedures. All new, deactivated or deleted accounts and access rights are logged and changed through these procedures.

Synacor employs systems to monitor unauthorized access to the hosts and content stored on those hosts. The alerts from these hosts are sent to a central monitoring system and handled according to the Incident Management procedures.

Authentication and Authorization

Accounts on any Host are and will be created on a strictly discretionary basis, with access on most Hosts being restricted solely to Synacor administration staff. Superuser (root) access will only be given through administrative permissions and even more stringently restricted, with no one outside the current Synacor administration staff having access to the passwords. All activities of administrative-level access are logged to a secure location and reviewed and archived on a regular basis.

Once accounts are created, Synacor will perform authentication solely via encrypted channels: either TLS (“Transport Layer Security”) or SSH (“Secure Shell”).

Access is based on business need and is reviewed on a periodic basis.

Incident Management

Synacor has adopted and will maintain the following Incident Response Plan. “Incidents” are defined as any malicious attacks designed to gain access to Synacor systems, including hacking attempts, other intrusions, and identifiable denial-of-service attacks that target equipment controlled by Synacor.

Schedule G-3

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Security Incident Response Team (SIRT)

Synacor will maintain a Security Incident Response Team (“SIRT”). The primary SIRT team will have the following roles, functions, and responsibilities:

The SIRT Team Leader, currently the IT Operations Manager, will be responsible for overseeing the team and conducting policy review at least once each year and additionally after each incident.

An Incident-specific SIRT Incident Lead will be selected from time to time if merited on the nature of the Incident, and will either be a Synacor System Administrator, Network Administrator, or the IT Manager. In any event, the incident Lead will be responsible for coordinating and reporting on the response.

The SIRT Communications Lead will be responsible for managing communications between the response team, internal interested parties such as account managers and Synacor executives, and external clients as appropriate. The current SIRT Communications Leader is Synacor’s Senior Account Manager assigned to Client.

Incident Response Plan

Notification

When an incident is identified, either as the result of internal monitoring or other notification, the on-call Synacor Systems Administrator will immediately notify the Team Leader, who will assign an Incident Lead and notify the Communications Lead. The on-call Systems Administrator will follow an escalation procedure to notify technology managers if the Team Leader is unavailable. The time from initial identification to the start of the assessment stage is not to exceed thirty (30) minutes.

The following types of events will trigger notification to the on-call Systems Administrator:

•

detected intrusions on servers

•

detected intrusions on network equipment

•

privilege exceptions

•

unexpected changes to system configurations

The following incidents will be relayed from external sources to the on-call Systems Administrator and will be treated as serious incidents for immediate risk assessment:

•

provider network equipment intrusions

•

intrusions on third-party equipment adjacent to Synacor’s network

The following types of events will be logged and will be analyzed by a member of the Systems team on a regular basis, with any suspicious activity being escalated to the SIRT Team Lead for investigation.

•

logins and login errors

•

privileged executions

•

suspicious web log entries

•

SQL errors

•

Unexpected process halts

•

process restarts

Initial Assessment

The Incident Lead will determine the nature and extent of the incident, and will communicate this to the rest of the team. The Incident Lead will also begin to record all activities in a manual log and isolate evidence pertaining to the incident.

Schedule G-4

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Incident Communication

Depending on the severity, scope, and possible origin/originators of the incident, not all details will be immediately disclosed to the Client. The Communications Lead will initially notify Clients in accordance with the Service Level Agreements in place, concerning any service disruptions. When the incident has been contained and all evidence secured, the Communications Lead will promptly provide detailed written reports about the incident and any remaining service restoration issues.

Damage Identification, Containment and Recovery

The Incident Lead will determine the following:

•

duration of attack

•

the effects of isolating/turning off compromised systems

•

the extent of compromised systems

•

the duration of the attack

The Incident Lead will also attempt to determine:

•

the origin of the attack

•

the intent of the attack

In general, attacks against redundant systems, including web servers, load balancers; database servers, or any other redundant network, hardware device, or software in Synacor’s direct control will be addressed by removal of the affected system from the production environment, if necessary under the circumstances.

In some cases, it may be necessary to disable service completely. This will be necessary in cases where the intrusion is either widespread across an entire set of redundant servers and is malicious in nature, or when the intrusion did significant damage to justify restoration from backups. In this case, the length of the outage will depend on the extent of the damage.

Once the incident has been contained and service has been restored, the Incident Lead will perform the following tasks:

•

audit of affected systems and all other systems for malicious software, and document.

•

audit of system logs on affected systems

•

conduct comparison of filesystem on affected systems against the base

•

server installation to identify attack details

•

audit of in-memory processes on all systems

The Incident Lead is responsible for archiving all evidence, including logs and possibly entire filesystems, for future civil or criminal investigation. This will involve burning disk contents or logfiles on to CD-R (e.g., Writable CD ROM), saving the actual hard disks, or other archival methods depending on the incident specifics. The evidence will be kept in a locked cabinet for a period of time to be determined based on the nature of the incident and the media; CD-R disks, for example, will be kept for several years after the investigation has ended.

In the event that preserving data would compromise the recovery effort, the Team Lead will make the decision concerning the balance of evidence preservation vs. recovery time.

Post-Incident Monitoring

The Incident Lead, Team Leader and other parties will determine if additional processes are necessary to monitor for this type of attack in the future; if so, these processes will be specified and developed. In addition, manual audits may be required for a period of time after the incident as necessary to verify the integrity of the systems.

Schedule G-5

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Civil/Criminal Investigation

Synacor and Client together will make the determination whether to involve law enforcement or pursue a civil suit based on a number of factors including:

•

the nature of the attack

•

the extent and quality of the forensic evidence

•

the identity and location of the perpetrator, if known

•

the likelihood of another such attack

•

the resource cost of the investigation

•

impact on user privacy

•

impact on company/client reputation

•

advice of counsel

VERIFICATION SERVICES OPTIONS

1.	Initial Verification – Consistency.

1.1.

Iron Mountain shall perform an initial verification (“Initial Verification”) of the Deposit Material upon receipt of the first deposit and for each update. To help perform this evaluation, Iron Mountain will examine the Exhibit B, and request that the Depositor complete an Escrow Deposit Questionnaire. Iron Mountain will then analyze the Escrow Deposit Questionnaire and Exhibit B, prepare and deliver a report to Depositor and Beneficiary containing its finding(s) and opinion(s) as to the Deposit consistency based on the information supplied. Iron Mountain’s report will include information regarding:

1.1.1.

The hardware and software configuration(s) needed to read the Deposit Material media associated with the Exhibit B;

1.12.

The software needed to interpret the data read from the media (i.e. Zip, tar, cvs type files); and

1.1.3.

The hardware and software configurations needed to compile the software product defined by the Exhibit B.

1.2.

Iron Mountain’s Systems Analysts will also be available to discuss the Initial Verification’s technical consistency evaluation and other deposit verification issues. Iron Mountain’s higher levels of verification address issues of readability, inventory, ability to be compiled or other testing as requested by a Party.

2.	Level One (1) – Inventory.

2.1.

This series of verification tests provides insight into whether the necessary information required to recreate the Depositor’s development environment has been properly stored in escrow. These tests detect errors that often inhibit effective use of the escrow deposit.

2.2.

Steps include: Analyzing deposit media readability, virus scanning, developing file classification tables, identifying the presence/absence of build instructions, and identifying materials required to recreate the Depositor’s software development environment.

2.3.

Deliverables: At completion of testing, Iron Mountain will distribute a report to Beneficiary detailing Iron Mountain’s investigation. This report will include build instructions, file classification tables and listings. In addition, the report will list required software development materials, including, without limitation, required source code languages and compilers, third-Party software, libraries, operating systems, and hardware, as well as Iron Mountain’s analysis of the deposit When identifying materials required to re-create Depositor’s software development environment, Iron Mountain will rely on information provided in Depositor’s completed questionnaire (obtained via a Iron Mountain verification representative) and/or information gathered during Iron Mountain’s testing experience.

3.	Level Two (2) – Build.

3.1.

This series of tests includes a standard effort to compile the Deposit Material and build executable code.

3.2.

Steps include: Recreating the Depositor’s software development environment, compiling source files and modules, linking libraries and recreating executable code.

3.3.

Deliverables: Iron Mountain will provide a report detailing the steps necessary to recreate the software/hardware development environment, problems encountered with testing, and Iron Mountain’s analysis of the deposit.

4.	Level Three (3) – Validation.

4.1.

Level III verification consists of testing the functionality of the compiled Deposit Material (in a production setting or similar environment) and can be accomplished through one of the following three options:

4.1.1.

Option A – With the Depositor’s approval, executables created by Iron Mountain during Level II testing are provided to the Beneficiary for functionality testing.

4.1.2.

Option B – The Beneficiary provides Iron Mountain with a copy of its licensed executables. Iron Mountain compares the executables created during Level II testing with the licensed executables and provides a comparison report to all Parties.

4.1.3.

Option C – Iron Mountain recreates the runtime environment for the licensed technology and installs the executables created during the Level II testing into that environment. (The environment is generally “scaled down” from the actual live environment) Iron Mountain then runs test scripts supplied by the Beneficiary and provides a report of the test results to all Parties. This may require Depositor approval.

4.1.4.

Services may be provided by Iron Mountain or individuals or organizations employed by or under contract with Iron Mountain, at the discretion of Iron Mountain.
