(b)

Disputed Payments. To dispute an invoice, Customer must provide written notice to CSG stating Customer’s concern with the invoice on or before the date that such invoice becomes due and payable. CSG and Customer shall attempt to resolve such concern, but if no resolution is reached within ****** (**) ******** **** following CSG’s receipt of written notice of the disputed amount, then either party may request escalation to the other party’s executive management for resolution of the matter in accordance with Section 23 entitled Escalation.

(Each capitalized term used in the foregoing sentence is defined in Section 18.) The foregoing shall not restrict or prohibit either party from exercising any other rights or remedies that it may have under this Agreement or otherwise. It is understood and agreed that Customer’s failure to dispute an invoice shall not be deemed to bar Customer from asserting a claim with respect to the charges appearing on such invoice; provided, however that Customer shall provide written notice of any such claim within one year of the date that Customer knows of or should have reasonably known of such claim.

(ii)

Additional Remedy. If a claim described in this Section 13(b) may be or has been asserted, CSG shall, and Customer will permit CSG, at CSG’s option and expense, to either (A) procure for Customer and its Affiliates the right to continue using the Products, Services or Deliverables, (B) replace or modify the Products, Services or Deliverables to eliminate the infringement while providing functionally equivalent performance or, if CSG cannot accomplish any of the foregoing remedies using commercially reasonable efforts, (C) accept the return of the Products, Services or Deliverables and refund to Customer the amount of the fees actually paid to CSG and allocable for such Product, Service or Deliverable, less amortization based on a 5-year straight-line amortization schedule and a pro rata share of any maintenance fees that Customer actually paid to CSG for the period that such Product, Service or Deliverable was not usable. In the event that CSG elects to provide the remedy described in clause 13(b)(ii)(C), Customer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement only as it applies to the returned Product, Service or Deliverable, immediately upon delivery of written notice to CSG and, except with respect to any portion of this Agreement that was not terminated, Customer shall have no further obligation to make any further payments to CSG under this Agreement for the returned Product, Service or Deliverable. CSG agrees that in the event CSG elects to provide the remedy described in clause 13(b)(ii)(C) with respect to an infringing Product, Service or Deliverable, CSG shall replace such Product, Service or Deliverable with a Product, Service or Deliverable that will provide functionality substantially similar to the returned Product, Service or Deliverable and, if CSG provides such a replacement, Customer shall continue to pay the fees provided in Schedule F, which include, but are not limited to, Guaranteed Fees and Print and Mail Minimums; provided, however, that if CSG elects to provide the remedy described in clause 13(b)(ii)(C) and pursuant thereto provides a replacement that does not provide substantially similar functionality as the replaced Product, Service or Deliverable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to provide an equitable adjustment to such fees with respect to any documented loss of functionality which Customer used or had the right to use without paying an additional fee. Moreover, notwithstanding the limitation set forth in Section 13(c) below, Customer would have been unwilling to enter into this Agreement or to provide the consideration set forth herein, including, but not limited to, the Guaranteed Fees and Print and Mail Minimums, without the certainty of performance by CSG that is promised in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, CSG’s agreement to provide Products, Services and Deliverables that provide the functionality described in this Agreement and therefore Customer’s right to terminate the Agreement in accordance with its terms, including, but not limited to, Section 19 thereof, shall not be limited or abrogated by this Section 13(b)(ii) or any agreement with respect to an equitable adjustment with respect to, or the application of the limitations of Section 13(c) to a remedy provided pursuant to, Section 13(b)(ii)(C). Nothing in this Section 13(b)(ii) is intended to define what level of functionality provided by CSG or its Products, Services or Deliverables constitutes a material breach or to provide examples thereof.

(c)

Limitation on CSG’s Indemnity Obligation. CSG shall have no indemnity obligation to Customer under this Section to the extent, but only to the extent, that the infringement claim results from (i) a correction or modification of the Product: (A) not provided or recommended by CSG, (B) not made under CSG’s instructions, (C) that is not specifically provided for in the Documentation, and (D) made without CSG’s knowledge and consent, if such claim could not have been maintained absent such correction or modification, (ii) the failure by Customer to promptly install an Update or Enhancement that (A) was provided by CSG other than pursuant to a statement of work or in connection with the use of ASH, and (B) would have provided performance functionally equivalent to the performance of the Product immediately prior to the installation of any such Update or Enhancement, but only if, and only for the time after, CSG shall have notified Customer in writing of the need to install such Update or Enhancement to avoid such infringement, or (iii) the combination of the Product with other items (A) not provided by CSG, (B) not combined under instructions from CSG, and (C) which could not have been reasonably anticipated by CSG to be used by Customer, or to be purchased by Customer pursuant to Section 6 herein, but only if such claim could not be maintained absent such combination. *** ******** *** ***** ** **** ********** *** ********’* **** *** ********* ******, *** ***’* ********* *********, *** ** ************ *****. *** ******** *** ***** ** **** ******* *** *** ******* ** *** *********** ** ********* *** ***** ***** ** ******* **.

Customer Indemnity; Customer’s Obligation to Defend. If (A) an action is brought against CSG claiming that an item of Customer’s and its Affiliates’ Intellectual Property (as defined in Exhibit A-3) that CSG has used at, and in a manner consistent with, Customer’s or its Affiliates’ request infringes a United States patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right owned by a third person, or, (B) Customer or its Affiliate uses the Products or Services in a manner that is inconsistent with the Documentation or other Written Instructions (as defined below) provided to Customer by CSG and such improper use subjects CSG to a claim that CSG’s Products or Services infringes a United States patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right owned by a third person, then Customer will defend CSG at Customer’s expense and pay any losses, claims, liabilities, damages and costs (including attorney’s fees) finally awarded to a third party and against CSG in the infringement action.

(e)

Limitation on Customer’s Obligation to Indemnify. Customer shall have no indemnity obligation to CSG under this Section to the extent, but only to the extent, that the infringement claim results from (i) a use, correction or modification of a Product or Service: (A) provided by CSG, (B) that is in accordance with the Written Instructions, or (C) that is specifically provided for or commercially reasonably foreseeable based on the Documentation, (ii) CSG’s use of Customer’s Intellectual Property in a manner that was not in compliance with Customer’s issued guidelines, including any changes thereto of which CSG had been given reasonable notice, (iii) the failure by CSG to discontinue using Customer’s Intellectual Property after Customer had notified CSG in writing of the need to discontinue such use to avoid such infringement, or (iv) the use of a Product or Service in combination with other items (A) provided by CSG, (B) combined in accordance with the Written Instructions or Documentation, or (C) which could have been reasonably anticipated by CSG to be used by Customer, or to be purchased by Customer pursuant to Section 6 herein, but only if such claim could not be maintained absent such combination. *** ******** *** ***** ** **** ********* *** ***’* **** *** ********* ******, *** ********’* ********* *********, *** ** ************ *****. *** ******** *** ***** ** **** ******* *** *** ******* ** *** *********** ** ********* *** ***** ***** ** ******* **.

(f)

If either party is required to indemnify the other party, Affiliate or Related Parties (as defined in Schedule F Note 12 to Section III.A. under CSG SERVICES) under any section of this Agreement, then the following terms shall apply: (A) the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party promptly upon learning of the claim for which indemnity obligations will be due, provided that the indemnifying party’s obligation to defend shall only be reduced to the extent that its ability to provide a defense has been materially and adversely affected by any failure to so notify; (B) the indemnifying party shall have sole control over the defense of the claim and any negotiation for its settlement or compromise, provided, however, that any such settlement or compromise will impose no obligation whatsoever on the indemnified party that is not wholly discharged or dischargeable by the indemnifying party, and imposes no conditions or obligations other than the payment of monies that are readily measureable for purposes of determining the monetary indemnification or reimbursement obligations of indemnifying party; and (C) the indemnified party reasonably cooperates with the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party’s expense in defending such claim. Additionally, the indemnified party may, at its own option and expense, appoint counsel to monitor the action, and indemnifying party shall, in any such event, cooperate reasonably to facilitate such monitoring, which shall include, but shall not be limited to, providing pleadings related to any such action for the indemnified party’s review.

Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in a subsequent statement of work Annual Support Hours shall not be used for Discovery Support. CSG further acknowledges that such requests may require the collection and production of data with respect to subscribers that have been sold to an unrelated third party by Customer and agrees to collect and produce such information with respect to the period during which such subscribers were Active Subscribers (as defined in Schedule F) as long as CSG receives the approval of any acquiring entity to provide same.

Except as necessary to provide or receive the Processing Termination Assistance as defined in Section 20(b), upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Processing Term, the receiving party shall destroy all of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party pertaining to the provision of Processing Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, it is understood and acknowledged that during the Print and Mail Term, which may extend beyond the termination of the Processing Term, the disclosing party will continue to provide certain Confidential Information to the receiving party.

As requested by Customer, CSG will provide Customer reasonable Termination Assistance in connection with the Processing Services (“Processing Termination Assistance”) for up to *** ******* ****** (***) ******** **** during the Processing Term, provided that Customer has paid CSG any and all Undisputed fees and expenses due hereunder.

Processing Termination Assistance shall be limited to the services specifically described in Schedule E under the section entitled “Processing Termination Assistance”. The parties agree that unless extended pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement, CSG shall cease all Processing Termination Assistance when Customer is Fully De-converted. For purposes of this Section 20, Fully De-converted shall have the same meaning as provided in Schedule F, section entitled Guaranteed Fees.

(c)

Print and Mail Termination Assistance. As requested by Customer, CSG will provide Customer reasonable Termination Assistance in connection with the Print and Mail Services (“Print and Mail Termination Assistance”) for up to *** ******* ****** (***) ******** ****, provided that Customer has paid CSG any and all Undisputed fees and expenses due hereunder. Print and Mail Termination Assistance shall include such services as may be reasonably required to accomplish a transition to another vendor, which shall include the services described in Schedule E under the section entitled “Print and Mail Termination Assistance”.

21.

CONFIDENTIALITY.

(a)

Definition. Customer and CSG may reveal to each other information relating to each other’s business, the Products, Services and any third-party software provided hereunder, which is confidential (the “Confidential Information”), and Customer acknowledges that confidentiality restrictions are imposed by CSG’s licensors or vendors. Confidential Information shall include, but not limited to, all of Customer’s and CSG’s trade secrets, and all know-how, design, invention, plan or process and Customer’s data and information relating to Customer’s and CSG’s respective business operations, services, products, research and development, CSG’s vendors’ or licensors’ information and products, Customer’s customer lists and customer-related information (“Customer Lists”) and all other information that is marked “confidential” or “proprietary” prior to or upon disclosure, or which, if disclosed orally, is identified by the disclosing party at the time as being confidential or proprietary, or would logically be considered confidential by virtue of its relation to the subject matter hereof.

(b)

Restrictions. Each party shall use its best efforts to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information and not show or otherwise disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties, including, but not limited to, independent contractors and consultants, without the prior written consent of the disclosing party. CSG shall use its best efforts to protect Customer’s Customer Lists, and shall, in any event, protect such lists with no less than the same level of care as it utilizes to protect its own customer lists. CSG shall not reveal any Customer List information to any third party without the express prior written consent of Customer, which Customer may withhold in its absolute discretion for any reason or for no reason at all. Each party shall use the Confidential Information solely for purposes of performing its obligations under this Agreement and for absolutely no other purpose. Each party shall indemnify the other for any loss or damage the other party may sustain as a result of the wrongful use or disclosure by such party (or any employee, agent, licensee, contractor, assignee or delegate of the other party) of its Confidential Information. Both parties recognize that Customer’s Customer Lists represent valuable information of Customer and breach of the obligations of confidentiality will result in substantial likelihood of irreparable harm and injury to Customer for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and which damages would be difficult to measure. Accordingly, CSG agrees that Customer shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available, to obtain immediate injunctive relief, as well as other equitable relief allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction. The first sentence of Section 17 sets forth those sole circumstances under which CSG may be liable in connection with the unauthorized, unintended disclosure of Customer’s Customer Lists. Neither party will allow the removal or defacement of any confidentiality or proprietary notice placed on the other party’s documentation or products. The placement of copyright notices on these items will not constitute publication or otherwise impair their confidential nature.

(c)

Disclosure. Neither party shall have any obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any Confidential Information which; (i) is or becomes publicly available by other than unauthorized disclosure by the receiving party; (ii) is independently developed by the receiving party; or (iii) is received from a third party who has lawfully obtained such Confidential Information without a confidentiality restriction. In the event disclosure of a Customer List occurs as a result of an individual’s access to CSG’s system through Customer’s systems, CSG shall not be liable. If required by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority, the receiving party may disclose to such authority, data, information or materials involving or pertaining to Confidential Information to the extent required by such order or authority, provided that the receiving party shall first have used its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other protection reasonably satisfactory to the disclosing party sufficient to maintain the confidentiality of such data, information or materials. In any such event, the receiving party shall disclose only that portion of such Confidential Information as is legally required to be furnished in its reasonable opinion. If an unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information occurs, the parties will take all steps which may be available to recover the documentation and/or products and to prevent their subsequent unauthorized use or dissemination.

(d)

Limited Access. Each party shall limit the use and access of Confidential Information to such party’s bona fide employees, agents and third-party vendors, including independent auditors and required governmental agencies, who have a need to know such information for purposes of conducting the receiving party’s business and who agree to comply with the use and non-disclosure restrictions applicable to the products and documentation under this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall CSG provide access to such information to a Competitor (as defined in Section 29). If requested, the receiving party shall cause such individuals to execute appropriate confidentiality agreements in favor of the disclosing party. Each party shall notify all employees and agents who have access to Confidential Information or to whom disclosure is made that the Confidential Information is the confidential, proprietary property of the disclosing party and shall instruct such employees and agents to maintain the Confidential Information in confidence.

22.

SURVIVAL. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the terms and conditions of those Sections that would logically survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive.

23.

ESCALATION. If (a) if either party believes that the other party is not assigning an adequate number of properly trained and qualified personnel to fulfill its responsibilities under the Agreement, or (b) a disagreement regarding a disputed payment is not resolved within ****** (**) ******** **** of CSG’s receipt of written notice of the disputed amount, then the parties agree that upon **** (*) ******** **** notice the parties shall escalate the matter within their respective organizations to be heard on the matter and reach a resolution. If communications at a particular level of escalation do not resolve the disagreement within *** (**) ******** ****, then either party may escalate the disagreement to the next higher level. The successive levels of escalation shall involve direct communication between the following personnel of each party: first, Customer’s Operations Contact and such person’s counterpart at CSG; next, Customer’s Contract Executive and such person’s counterpart at CSG; next, each party’s Chief Operations Officer; and finally, each party’s Chief Executive Officer.

NATURE OF RELATIONSHIP. In performing hereunder, both parties are acting as independent contractors and neither party undertakes to perform any obligation of the other, whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any responsibility for the other’s business or operations. Each party understands and agrees that the other party may perform for or purchase similar goods and services from third parties and license same or similar products to or from third parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership or joint venture between CSG and Customer. Neither party shall hold itself out as having any authority to enter into any contract or create any obligation or liability on behalf of or binding upon the other party. The parties agree that the rights, responsibilities and obligations provided in this Agreement are non-exclusive, however in exchange for non-exclusivity the parties have agreed, as set forth in Schedule F of this Agreement, that Customer makes a commitment as to Guaranteed Fees and Print and Mail Minimums for Products and Services. If, during the term of this Agreement, Customer purchases, is assigned or otherwise acquires entities which are utilizing billing or print and mail services of a third-party vendor, Customer shall not be required to convert such subscribers to CSG’s billing or print and mail services.

25.

No more than **** in any ****** ***** (**) ****** ****** the term of this Agreement and for *** (*) ****** after its termination for any reason or expiration and upon not less than ****** (**) ******** **** prior written notice to CSG, and during normal business hours, Customer may conduct an audit of CSG’s records regarding Reimbursable Expenses and all other payments made by Customer to CSG to verify that Customer has paid the correct amounts during the preceding ****** (**) ***** ******. Any such audit will be at Customer’s expense and shall be conducted by Customer’s internal audit division (the members of which may be employed by an Affiliate of Customer), or an independent auditor who shall execute a confidentiality agreement with CSG (in form reasonably acceptable to CSG), and shall be conducted in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Should such an audit reveal, or should Customer otherwise discover, that CSG overbilled Customer and Customer overpaid CSG, CSG shall credit Customer’s account by an amount equal to the amount overbilled and overpaid. If, at the time of such audit, Customer has a **** (*) ******* owed to CSG, CSG shall pay Customer for the amount ********** *** ********. Moreover, should such an audit reveal that CSG overbilled Customer and Customer overpaid CSG an amount equal to or greater than **** ******* (**) of the correct amount due during the period covered by the audit, CSG shall reimburse Customer for all reasonable costs incurred by Customer in performing the audit which shall not exceed ******-**** ******** ******* (***,***.**). *** ****** *** *********** ** *** ***** ** **** ******* ** ***** ********* ***’* **** *** ********* ********* *** ********’* **** *** ********* ****** ** ********** **** *** ***** **** *** *** ********** *** ******** *** ******** *** ****** ***** *** *********; ******** **** *** ********* ********** ***** *** ***** ** *** ******** ** ***** ** ******* ********* ***************** ** ***.

FORCE MAJEURE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither party shall be liable to the other for its failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement during the period of a Force Majeure Event to the extent that performance is prevented by such Force Majeure Event. The party that is prevented from fully performing its obligations under this Agreement due to such Force Majeure Event (the “Affected Party”) shall promptly take and continue to take all reasonable actions to resume its performance as soon as possible. “Force Majeure Event” shall mean the following unforeseen and extraordinary events that are beyond the control of the Affected Party: (1) acts of God; (2) acts of a public enemy; (3) acts of a government in its sovereign capacity; (4) war; (5) catastrophic weather conditions such as hurricanes, tornadoes and typhoons; and (6) fire, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, sabotage, riot and embargoes, which in every case listed in items (1) through (6) above are (i) without fault or negligence of the Affected Party or its suppliers and subcontractors and (ii) prevent the Affected Party from performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Affected Party shall provide notice to the other party of a Force Majeure Event within twenty four (24) hours following the commencement of the Force Majeure Event (or, if not possible due to such Force Majeure Event, as soon as possible thereafter). Such notice shall specify, at minimum, the date and time of commencement of the Force Majeure Event, the cause of the Force Majeure Event and the Affected Party’s plan to resume its performance. Events for which such notice is not delivered shall not be deemed to be Force Majeure Events. In the event that a Force Majeure Event prevents the Affected Party from performing its obligations for those Products and Services identified in Schedule H under MARC I or payment of the fees provided under Schedule F for a period of ****** (**) ** **** ******** ****, the other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon delivery of written notice to the Affected Party. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall not be obligated to make any payments under this Agreement for any period, solely related to the impacted Products and Services, during which CSG’s performance is prevented by a Force Majeure Event.

29.

ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other party’s prior approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempt to do so without such approval will be void. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this Section 29, but subject to the other limitations contained herein, either party may assign this Agreement upon notice to the other party and without the consent of the other party to a related or unrelated person that purchases or otherwise acquires (a) all or substantially all of such party’s assets, or (b) a Controlling Interest in such party, in one transaction or a series of transactions. Further, Customer may, upon notice to CSG, assign this Agreement to an Affiliate of Customer or an entity, which in either case; (i) demonstrates to CSG that it has the financial capability to perform hereunder; and (ii) expressly assumes in writing, in form acceptable to CSG, to assume all of Customer’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred by CSG, to a Competitor of Customer without Customer’s express written consent, which rejection or approval shall be in the sole discretion of Customer for any reason or no reason. For the avoidance of doubt, the sale or other transfer of a Controlling Interest in CSG shall constitute a transfer of this Agreement that requires the prior written approval of Customer in accordance with the foregoing sentence. “Competitor” of Customer shall be defined as: (*) *** ****** *** *********** ** *** ********** ***** ** *** ********* *****: *******, ******* *****, **** ****** *****, ******* **************, *** **************, *********** ******* ****., ** * *, ********, *************** ****, *****, ****** ******, *-******, ****, ***********, ****, ************* *****, *** ******* ** (**) * ******** ***** ********, ******, *******, ***********, ********* ** ****** ** *** *********. ** *** ***** *** ********* *** ** ************* *** ** *** ****** ** * ********** ** ******** ** * *********** ******** ** *** ** *********** ** * ********** ** ********, **** ******** ***** **** *** ******, *********** ***** ****** (**) ******** **** ********* ********’* ******* ** ****** ** **** ******** ** ***********, ** ********* **** *********, ** *** ******** ** ** ** ******** ** * ********** ******* ** ******* ** ** * **** ********* ** **** ****** ** ***********, *** **** *** ************* ** **** ***********, *** ***** ******* *********** ********** ** ******** ** ********** **** ******* **(*) ** **** *********. In any such event, CSG shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to use its and their best efforts to keep Customer’s Information confidential as provided in Section 21 (Confidentiality) and shall not directly or indirectly provide access to or use of such information to such Competitor, and such Competitor shall continue to be treated as a third party for the purposes of Section 21. Customer agrees that so long as CSG remains in compliance with this Section and Section 21, Customer shall not attempt to prevent the consummation of an acquisition of CSG by a Competitor.

2.	BASIC SERVICES.

(a)

Consumer Debits. Each EPS Subscriber will have the option to preauthorize a debit to either their checking account or savings account each month for a predetermined date of Customer’s choosing. The third-party ACH originator will be responsible for the disbursement, remittance and settlement of all funds. CSG will create and submit a preauthorized payment disbursement file to the third-party ACH originator containing a debit record for EPS Subscribers who have preauthorized monthly debits to be made from checking or savings accounts on a day designated by Customer each month.

CSG will initiate an ACH prenote the day the form is processed or the day after the form is processed if the form is entered after the daily cutoff time. A daily report will be generated for the Customer each business day for which input is processed showing that a prenote has been initiated. If the prenote process produces an error, the CCS system will automatically update the EPS Subscribers’ payment status to reflect an error and add the error to a daily report. If the error was correctable by the receiving depository financial institution, the CCS system will automatically update the information on the CCS system. The first debit will be initiated on the appropriate date to effect the debit on the Customer’s predetermined date.

(d)

Automatic Preauthorized Payments. CSG and Customer’s third-party ACH originator shall provide automatic payment deduction which will occur monthly on a date predetermined by Customer. CSG will submit a file to the ACH originator ***** (*) ******** **** prior to the date the deduction is scheduled to take place. The EPS Subscriber payment amount submitted to the ACH originator will be the statement balance if the statement balance is less than the current balance or if the statement balance is greater than the current balance, then the current balance will be used. If the designated date for deduction falls on a weekend and/or holiday, the deduction will not occur until the next scheduled banking day.

(e)

Settlement. Customer is responsible for ensuring for recurring EFT transactions, the ACH originator credits Customer’s bank account. Settlement of Returns. Customer is responsible for ensuring the ACH originator settles daily returns against Customer’s bank account.

If an unauthorized use or disclosure of either party’s Confidential Information occurs, the recipient will immediately notify the disclosing party and take, at the recipient’s expense, all steps which are reasonably necessary to recover the disclosing party’s Confidential Information and to prevent its subsequent unauthorized use or dissemination, including availing itself of actions for seizure and injunctive relief. If the recipient fails to take these steps in a timely manner, the disclosing party may take them in its own or the recipient’s name and at the recipient’s expense.

LIMITATION. Neither party will have any confidentiality obligation with respect to any portion of Confidential Information that (i) the recipient independently knew or develops without using the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, (ii) the recipient lawfully obtains from a third party under no obligation of confidentiality, (iii) becomes available to the public other than as a result of an act or omission of the recipient or any of its employees or (iv) is required to be disclosed in a judicial or administrative proceeding after all reasonable legal remedies for maintaining such information in confidence have been exhausted including, but not limited to, giving the disclosing party as much advance notice of the possibility of such disclosure as is practical so that the disclosing party may attempt to stop such disclosure or obtain a protective order concerning such disclosure.

PRODUCTS. The Company acknowledges that CSG or its licensors own the Products and all patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and other proprietary rights related to the Products, whether or not specifically recognized or protected under the laws of any country, and that this Agreement gives the Company no rights with respect to the Products or CSG’s proprietary rights, except the limited rights specified in this Agreement. The Company will not take any action that jeopardizes CSG’s or its licensors’ proprietary rights or acquire any rights in the Products.

DISCUSSIONS. CSG and Company will act in good faith. This Agreement does not obligate CSG or Company to enter into any discussions, agreements or business relationships. Any agreement that will bind the parties not set forth in this Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of both parties. Oral agreements, promises and representations made between the parties but not contained in such a written agreement will not be binding.

RETURN OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. CSG and Company will, on request by the other, (i) return the other party’s Confidential Information and any tangible embodiment containing such Confidential Information, and (ii) deliver to the other party an affidavit which certifies that the party has complied with these termination obligations.

10.

INDEMNITY. Each party will indemnify the other party against any damages, loss, liability or expense (including lawyer’s fees) that such other party may incur as a result of any violation of its confidentiality obligations hereunder, due to any act or omission of such party, its employees, agents or consultants. This Section will not be construed to limit or exclude any other claims or remedies that either party may assert under this Agreement or by law.

11.

U.S. EXPORT CONTROLS. The Company acknowledges that the Products and all related technical data are subject to controls under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. The Company will not re-export or disclose the Products or any related technical data, or direct products thereof, to any country or person resident outside of the United States or Philippines (except to CSG and its employees), unless the Company obtains an appropriate authorization from CSG and the U.S. Department of Commerce.

For BCP and disaster recovery purposes, CSG has categorized all business-critical functions into one of three critical recovery windows. These windows are referred to as Minimum Acceptable Recovery Configurations (MARC I, XXXX XX, XXXX III), with each MARC being defined according to a specific period of time as follows:

•

All MARC I business functions are required to be operational from a BCP standpoint ****** ** ***** after declaration of a business disaster.

•

All XXXX XX business functions are required to be operational from a BCP standpoint ******* ******** *** ***** *** ******** *** ***** after declaration of a business disaster.

•

All MARC III business functions are required to be operational from a BCP standpoint ******* ******** *** ***** *** ******** *** ******-*** after declaration of a business disaster.

In the event of a declared disaster, affecting Customer data, CSG will provide Customer with BCP coverage as follows for the following products and services:

8.	Designated Environment: Section 11, entitled Designated Environment, would deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Designated Environment. “Designated Environment,” means the then-current combination of other computer programs and hardware equipment that CSG specifies for use by all of its customers with the Products and Services as set forth on CSG’s customer extranet website (xxxxx://xx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx) or succeeding site, which can be accessed by Customer upon request, or otherwise approved by CSG in writing for Customer’s use of the Products and Services at the System Sites. Customer (or any third parties permitted access in accordance with Section 12(d)(ii) below) may use the Products only in the then-current Designated Environment; provided, however, that CSG will provide to Customer no less than ****** (**) ****** prior written notice for any changes to the hardware and/or software in the Designated Environment solely related to (a) the operating system, or (b) CSG’s Products or Services that are under CSG’s sole and exclusive control, and to the extent applicable, CSG will provide to Customer prior written notice as soon as reasonably practicable for any other changes to the hardware and/or software in the Designated Environment. With respect to any other hardware and/or software identified in the Designated Environment that is licensed by CSG from a third party, CSG shall continue to include such hardware and/or software in the Designated Environment until such products are no longer supported by such third party. CSG shall promptly notify Customer upon learning that a third party vendor will cease supporting any particular hardware or software.

In cases where CSG becomes aware that Customer is not operating its hardware or software in conformance with the Designated Environment, CSG will notify Customer of its knowledge of such nonconformance and support the Products within the non-compliant environment; however, the Parties agree that: (i) any support offered with respect to hardware or software operating outside the Designated Environment will be limited to the extent that the manufacturer or vendor of the hardware or software continues to provide general support for such hardware or software versions; and (ii) although CSG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Support Services, CSG shall not be subject to damages that are directly related to malfunctions of the Products caused by Customer’s use of the Products in such noncompliant environment. Customer further agrees that CSG will not have any responsibility or liability in connection with malfunctions or any damage resulting from any modifications to the Products not authorized by CSG. If Customer questions the necessity of upgrading to any new Designated Environment as requested by CSG, CSG shall meet with Customer to discuss the proposed changes in an effort to reach mutual agreement on the minimal level of changes to Customer’s equipment that are necessary. It is understood and agreed that Customer’s failure to keep its environment in compliance with the Designated Environment (a “DEG Failure”) shall not be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement or the license granted hereunder; provided, however, that to the extent that CSG’s performance under this Agreement is hindered due to such DEG Failure, such reduced level of performance shall not be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

CSG Vantage Designated Environment

Effective Date 7/25/09

Last Reviewed 10/30/09 – no changes

Using Vantage in the ACSR and/or ACP Voice Environment

The ACSR product runs on a TCP/IP network with a Sun Server acting as the SNA gateway. ACSR and Vantage can run on the same workstation but consideration must be given during installation to the overall network and workstation configuration. If the Vantage workstation is to use an existing AT&T Global Services circuit and that workstation does not have an InterNIC registered TCP/IP address, then additional consideration must be given to router configurations.

Consideration must be given to the overall environment in which Vantage runs. TCP/IP does not provide load balancing or prioritization on the line. Therefore, if an AT&T Global Services multi-protocol circuit is used for both Vantage and CCS/ACSR, consideration must be given to the estimated amount of activity that will be generated from Vantage. For all ACSR installations, prioritization is given to SNA traffic rather than TCP/IP based traffic. Consult CSG for specific installation and configuration information.

If the Vantage PC is to be used in the ACSR environment, the ACSR PC Workstation Requirements should be used for both Vantage and ACSR, with the inclusion of the additional Vantage software.

		ACSR
Operating System
Windows Vista Business(1)		Yes
Windows XP Professional(2)		Yes

(1)	Windows Vista Business

•

Windows Vista Business is supported.

•

Windows Vista Home edition is not supported.

•

Proper installation of ACSR on Windows Vista requires the ACSRInstallUtility to be installed prior to installing ACSR. For best results it has been found that the UAC should be turned off while installing the Install utility and once completed the UAC can be turned on and the system should be re-started. This install utility will handle the permissions required to register the .dll and .ocx files used by the ACSR application.

(2)	Windows XP

•

Windows XP Professional is supported

•

Windows XP Home edition not supported

•

CSG strongly recommends running with the latest service pack as provided by Microsoft.

•

Within the XP domain, users should be defined as Power Users or Administrators. The ACSR application requires registration of OCX and DLL files in the Windows registry and, similar to Windows 2000, Microsoft has granted this ability to users with Power User or greater privileges.

•

If the client network administrator does not want to define users as Power Users or Administrator, then the Microsoft compatible security template that opens up the default access control policy for the Users group must be installed. Installation of this template will allow ACSR to install and function correctly. For more information about this template, please contact Microsoft Support.

•

To ensure proper installation and execution of ACSR, ANDS client version 2.0.21 or greater must be used. When installing the ANDS client on the XP desktop, the installing user must be an Administrator on the XP domain.

Printing

CSG recognizes that printing reports is a crucial part of managing business and has provided the following section below when considering new printers for purchase or determine if existing printers can be compatible.

As there is a vast amount of printer manufacturers and models available and the different technologies used, CSG cannot certify nor guarantees that each model will work as expected. Clients are responsible for obtaining printers they wish to test as well as verifying all printing functionality. As a reference, listed below are printer manufacturers/models that at one point have been used by CSG clients or are upgrade equivalents.

Additional information on CSG Form types and on the process of setting up the print spooler is available upon request. Please contact your SBU Representative.

Printer Guidelines / Recommendations

1) Network Connectivity: Hewlett Packard External Jet direct EX module with SNMP capability (Printer interface external box required for system printing).

2) Printer RAM: Ensure the printer selected has the necessary RAM to support the job types and job sizes requested to be spooled for print.

3) Alebra Brixton OpenClient software for Solaris minimum release R4.1.3.5; Allows 3287 emulation for mainframe printer connections. Provides CSG the ability to troubleshoot print job data from the mainframe to the spooler (server disk).

4) Network Cards/Devices: Sun Network Interface Hardware required with third party network providers.

Printers

Suggested printer manufacturers/ models:

IBM 6500 all models (For reports) (with parallel port) (do not order with internal Ethernet card) (New by manufacturer) (Replaces several of the IBM 6400 models)

IBM 4247 model 003 (For reports) (with parallel port) (do not order with internal Ethernet card) (New by manufacturer) (Replaces the IBM 4226, 4230, and 4232 models)

Lexmark 4227 Plus - (work order printer)

Okidata ML 320 Turbo - (For cash register receipts)

LaserJet Printers (For screen prints) - Most LaserJet printers should be compatible.

Please Note: Additional software is needed to support printing

1) Current version of Rumba is required for all cash register receipt/ outage detection printing.
