WHEREAS, CSG and Customers (as defined in Section 1.1 below) are parties to several agreements (collectively, the “Prior Agreements”) and upon execution of this Agreement desire to supercede the terms and conditions of those Prior Agreements with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the Auto-Check Refund Processing Agreement entered into on July 31 1996, between CSG and Time Warner Cable and any agreements between CSG and Time Warner Communications of Tampa shall remain in effect according to the terms therein.

WHEREAS, Customers desire to obtain from CSG, and CSG desires to grant to each Customer, a license to use the products set forth in Schedule B, which, along with any other CSG products subsequently licensed by CSG to Customers under this Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Products;” and

ARTICLE 1

OVERVIEW

Agreement, shall be bound by, a separate Addendum substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Schedule I (“Affiliate Addendum”). The Affiliate Addenda with respect to the Affiliates that are currently parties to any Prior Agreement with CSG are attached hereto as Schedules I-1 through I-12, respectively. The Affiliate identified in an Affiliate Addendum attached hereto as Schedules I-1 through I-12 shall be bound by such Affiliate Addendum upon the execution of this Agreement by TWC and CSG. Any modification or supplement after the Effective Date to an Affiliate Addendum attached hereto as Schedules I-1 through I-12 shall be executed by and between the applicable Participating Affiliate and CSG.

(b) Notwithstanding any rights granted to or obligations assumed by any Participating Affiliate under this Agreement, TWC will remain liable for all obligations of any Participating Affiliate under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay any fees set forth in Schedule F. No Participating Affiliate shall be jointly or severally liable for any obligation of any other Participating Affiliate or of TWC under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the above, the following entities shall not be permitted to become “Participating Affiliates” under this Agreement (a) Time Warner Communications of Tampa, or (b) any entity acquired by TWC or any Affiliate after the Effective Date that is the only or the principal party (“CSG Customer”) to any agreement(s) with CSG (“CSG Customer Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the restriction set forth in paragraph (d) below, CSG further agrees and hereby consents to allow a CSG Customer to become a Participating Affiliate under this Agreement, provided, (a) where the term of the CSG Customer Agreement exceeds the expiration of this Master Agreement, the terms of this Master Agreement shall continue past any expiration of this Master Agreement for the remainder of the stated term of such CSG Customer Agreement (“Extended Term”) but only as to the subscribers acquired as a result of the acquisition by TWC or an Affiliate of such CSG Customer (“Acquired CSG Customer Subscribers”) and, upon expiration of this Master Agreement, during the Extended Term, the minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers hereunder shall be equal to (i) ninety percent (90%) of the then current number of Connected Subscribers being processed under the CSG Customer Agreement at the time of the acquisition by TWC or an Affiliate of such CSG Customer where there is no minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers under such CSG Customer Agreement or (ii) the then current monthly Connected Subscriber minimum under the CSG Customer agreement at the time of the acquisition by TWC or an Affiliate of such CSG Customer, where such CSG Customer Agreement does contain a minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers and, provided further, that if this Master Agreement is renewed or a new agreement is entered into between CSG and TWC or its successor upon expiration of this Master Agreement, then instead of the continuation of the terms of this Master Agreement past the expiration hereof for the Extended Term, the terms of such renewed or new agreement shall also apply with respect to such Acquired CSG Customer Subscribers; and (b) the monthly Connected Subscriber minimum under this Agreement is increased by (i) ninety percent (90%) of the then current number of Connected Subscribers being processed under the CSG Customer Agreement where there is no minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers under such CSG Customer Agreement or (ii) the then current monthly Connected Subscriber minimum under the CSG Customer Agreement, where such CSG Customer Agreement does contain a minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers. The increase in Customers’ monthly Connected Subscriber minimum under this Agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall be in effect only for the remainder of the stated term of the CSG Customer Agreement. For purposes of clarification, where a CSG Customer Agreement imposes a minimum with reference to a standard other than “Connected Subscribers” as defined in Section 3.1(a) below, such agreement shall be deemed not to have a minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers and, therefore, the provisions of clauses (a)(i) and (b)(i) above shall apply and, in such event, the then current number of Connected Subscribers of such CSG Customer shall be calculated based on the definition of “Connected Subscribers” set forth in Section 3.1(a) below irrespective of any contrary or conflicting provision set forth in the CSG Customer Agreement. Further, in the event that a CSG Customer becomes a Participating Affiliate as permitted hereunder, the CSG Customer Agreement by and between such CSG Customer and CSG shall automatically terminate without a discontinuance fee or penalty.

(d) The Parties acknowledge the existence of a certain Restated and Amended CSG Master Subscriber Management Agreement dated August 10, 1997 between CSG and AT&T Broadband Management Corporation (now known as Comcast ABB Management Corporation.), f/k/a TCI Cable Management Corporation (as further amended or modified after the Effective Date and specifically including any new or replacement agreement which may supersede such Restated and Amended CSG Master Subscriber Management Agreement dated August 10, 1997, the “AT&T Agreement”).

For purposes of subsections 1.1(e)-(f) below:

(i) “AT&T Broadband” shall mean either (1) Comcast ABB Management Corporation or any successor entity(s) thereto (“ATMC”) or (2) a Participating AT&T Affiliate (or any successor entity(s) thereto);

(ii) “AT&T Affiliate” means any cable service provider (1) in which ATMC exercises exclusive management control or otherwise has the ability to direct the engagement of outside vendors or service providers or (2) in which ATMC owns, directly or indirectly, 40% or more of the equity interest, unless ATMC reasonably demonstrates that it does not have the powers described in the foregoing clause (1) despite such equity ownership;

(iii) “Participating AT&T Affiliate” means any AT&T Affiliate that has expressly agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of the AT&T Agreement;

(iv) “TWC” shall mean Time Warner Cable or any Affiliate thereof;

(v) “successor-in-interest” shall mean a party that assumes the rights and obligations of an agreement whether by operation of law or by express written agreement;

(vi) “Acquired AT&T Entity(ies)” shall mean either ATMC or any Participating AT&T Affiliate should one or more of them be acquired by TWC.

(vii) “New Minimum Subscriber Number” shall mean the number of Acquired AT&T Subscribers that are being processed by the Acquired AT&T Entity(ies) (as defined below) under the AT&T Agreement on the date immediately preceding the date upon the closing of TWC’s acquisition of either ATMC or a Participating AT&T Affiliate; and

(viii) “New Minimum Fees” shall mean the monthly processing charges payable pursuant to the AT&T Agreement calculated on the basis of the New Minimum Subscriber Number.

(e) The Parties agree that in the event TWC acquires either ATMC or a Participating AT&T Affiliate, then, any provision set forth in the AT&T Agreement which may require that CSG be the exclusive provider of any product(s), equipment, software or service(s) provided pursuant to the AT&T Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 31 of the AT&T Agreement) shall not apply to any subscribers controlled by TWC on the date immediately preceding the date of the closing of the relevant acquisition or to any subscribers thereafter acquired by TWC. Further, in no event shall any Acquired AT&T Entity be permitted to become a Participating Affiliate (as defined above in the Preamble) under this Agreement. Instead, the AT&T Agreement shall apply solely to the subscribers owned or controlled by the Acquired AT&T Entity(ies) on the date immediately preceding the date of the closing of such acquisition (“Acquired AT&T Subscribers”)but the AT&T Agreement shall not apply to any other subscribers then owned or thereafter acquired, either directly or indirectly, by TWC. For clarification purposes, in no event shall any subscribers acquired by TWC be considered “Acquired AT&T Subscribers” if such subscribers were not owned by an Acquired AT&T Entity on the date immediately preceding the date on which TWC acquired such entity .

(f) In consideration of CSG’s waiver of its exclusive rights in the preceding paragraph, TWC and CSG further agree that in the event TWC acquires ATMC or a Participating AT&T Affiliate, the New Minimum Subscriber Number shall be equal to the number of Acquired AT&T Subscribers being processed pursuant to the AT&T Agreement as of the date immediately prior to the date of TWC’s acquisition of the Acquired AT&T Entity(ies); provided, however, that if the Acquired AT&T Entity(ies) is responsible for maintaining a minimum number of subscribers under the AT&T Agreement, such minimum shall remain in effect if such minimum is greater than the then current number of Acquired AT&T Subscribers being processed pursuant to the AT&T Agreement as of the date immediately prior to the date of TWC’s acquisition of the Acquired AT&T Entity(ies). During the remaining term of the AT&T Agreement, each month TWC shall be responsible for paying CSG, or causing the Acquired AT&T Entity(ies) to pay to CSG, the greater of the actual fees incurred pursuant to the AT&T Agreement during such month with respect to the Acquired AT&T Subscribers or the New Minimum Fees. TWC and the Acquired AT&T Entity(ies) shall have the right to exchange subscribers between and amongst customer care and billing vendors provided, however, that such right shall not change their obligation to pay the greater of either the actual fees incurred or the New Minimum Fees.

1.2 Term. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 6, this Agreement shall remain in effect for a period of ten (10) years from the Effective Date (“Term”). Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 6, the term of any specific license for the Products and the term for any specific Services to be provided shall be coterminous with this Agreement unless stated otherwise in the applicable Schedule or Addendum.

1.3 Termination of Prior Agreements. Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Prior Agreements (including any licenses granted therein) shall immediately terminate, except that any statements of work or letters of agreement previously executed pursuant to a Prior Agreement (collectively, the “Outstanding SOWs”) but not yet completed or otherwise terminated, or under which any amount is owing by a Customer to CSG shall become Statements of Work (as defined in Section 3.6 below) and shall be completed in accordance with the terms of such Statements of Work. Any unbilled fees under the Outstanding SOWs shall be invoiced by CSG, and shall be paid by Customer in accordance with the terms of the Outstanding SOWs (if and to the extent such terms conflict with the terms of this Agreement). A list of all Outstanding SOWs are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. In addition, any trial licenses for CSG Products shall remain in effect subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Prior Agreements and shall terminate in accordance with such Prior Agreements. Subject to the foregoing, upon the Effective Date, the terms and conditions related to CSG’s offering of its Products and Services to Customers and all licenses granted in connection therewith, and the treatment of either Party’s Confidential Information shall be governed by this Agreement.

1.4 Reserved.

1.5 Basic Products and Services. During the term of this Agreement and on the terms and conditions described herein, CSG will make available to every Participating Affiliate the basic products identified in Schedule B attached hereto (“Basic Products”) and the basic services identified in Schedule C attached hereto (“Basic Services”) for the fees set forth in Schedule F or, where applicable, in the Affiliate Addenda. The Subscribers (as defined in Section 2.2 below) of all Customers shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the applicable fee rate pursuant to Schedule F (where any such fees fluctuate based on volume); but once such rate(s) have been determined, CSG shall invoice each Participating Affiliate separately for the fees relating solely to the Subscribers of such Participating Affiliate. However, any difference between the aggregate fees actually paid by all Participating Affiliates and any minimum fees based on the aggregate number of monthly Connected Subscribers (as defined in Section 3.1(a)) required under Schedule F shall be billed by CSG to TWC, in accordance with and as more particularly described in Schedule F. A Participating Affiliate may request CSG to provide other products and services in addition to the Basic Products and Basic Services, including, but not limited to, any described in Schedules B and C (“Additional Products and/or Additional Services”) to such Participating Affiliate at the prices set forth in Schedule F or, where applicable, in the Affiliate Addenda. Such Additional Products and Services requested by a Participating Affiliate shall be set forth in the applicable Affiliate Addendum. If any such Additional Product or Service is requested by a Participating Affiliate after the execution of its original Affiliate Addendum, then such Participating Affiliate shall execute a supplement to its Affiliate Addendum setting forth any such Additional Products or Additional Services and agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any additional Schedule(s) pertaining to such Additional Products and/or Services. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the term “Products” shall include “Additional Products” identified in an Affiliate Addendum; and (b) the term “Services” shall include “Additional Services” identified in an Affiliate Addendum. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for the fees set forth on Schedule F hereto, each Customer may use the Products and Services in connection with their provision of video or high speed data or other entertainment, information, programming, applications, data or other services, equipment or products provided to their Subscribers, excluding services requiring the use of any Product or Service not then licensed or purchased (as applicable) by such Customer. The foregoing may be subject to additional fees to the extent CSG is required to modify its Products or Services to enable Customers to use them in connection with certain services, equipment or products provided to their Subscribers.

ARTICLE 2

Services at the system sites set forth in the applicable Affiliate Addendum (“System Sites”). In addition, CSG agrees to license the Products identified in Schedule M for use by TWC subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule M. “Products” includes (i) the machine-readable object code version of the software (the “Software”), whether embedded on disc, tape or other media; (ii) the published user manuals and documentation that CSG may make generally available for the Software (the “Documentation”), (iii) any applicable Updates (as defined in Section 4.1), and (iv) any copy of the Software, Documentation or Updates.

2.2 License. Except for the Products identified in Section 2.3 below, upon delivery of the applicable medium (or media) containing the Products to a Customer, CSG grants to such Customer a non-exclusive, nontransferable (except as otherwise permitted under Section 12.7 of this Agreement), and perpetual license to use the Products: (a) exclusively at the System Sites or, in the case of TWC, at the locations identified in Schedule M, and (b) in object code form only, and only for such Customer’s own internal purposes and business operations for providing accounting, billing, and customer care services to its residential and commercial subscribers (collectively, “Subscribers”) receiving video or high speed data or other entertainment, information, programming, applications, data, or other services, equipment or products from such Customer or services related thereto, excluding services requiring the use of any Product or Service not then licensed or purchased (as applicable) by such Customer. The foregoing may be subject to additional fees to the extent CSG is required to modify its Products or Services to enable Customers to use them in connection with certain services, equipment or products provided to their Subscribers. The license granted to the Customers in this Section 2.2 is expressly limited to the number of Workstations, servers or users (as the case may be) identified on the applicable Affiliate Addendum, or in the case of TWC, identified in Schedule M. A “Workstation” is a computer on which the Products are installed. To use a license, every machine running a Product must have a licensed copy. Each Customer may use a Product on the number of Workstations set forth in its Affiliate Addendum, or in the case of TWC, in Schedule M, provided that such Customer has obtained sufficient licenses for each Workstation. If a Customer plans to install a Product on additional Workstations, it must notify CSG of its plans to install on such additional Workstations and, prior to such installation, such Customer shall have a license to run such Product on such additional Workstations. If a Customer does not obtain the necessary licenses prior to installation of a Product on additional Workstations, it shall be obligated to remove the Product from all but the number of Workstations it has obtained licenses for. CSG shall invoice each Customer for any the fees set forth in Schedule F for the Products granted herein in this Agreement after delivery of the medium (or media) containing the Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Customers’ license of CSG Vantage®, each Customer’s right to use Vantage is limited to the number of Workstations licensed by such Customer rather than number of Workstations listed on the applicable Affiliate Addendum or, in the case of TWC, identified in Schedule M. Nothing in this Agreement will entitle Customer to receive the source code of the Software or Updates, in whole or in part, except as set forth in Section 12.12.

2.3 Expanded Software License.

 

(a) The license established by this Section 2.3 shall apply only to ACSR® and ACSR® module of HSD and all Updates thereof (collectively, the “Expanded License Software”);

 

(b) For the fees set forth in Schedule F, CSG hereby grants to each Customer, during the term of this Agreement, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Expanded License Software (the “Expanded License”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.3;

 

(c) CSG shall promptly deliver to each Customer an electronic copy of each and every Update of the Expanded License Software;

 

(d) Each Customer may use the Expanded License Software in object code form only on Workstations that are owned or leased by such Customer at such Customer’s System Sites in the United States, in the Designated Environment for each Product as specified in Section 2.4, and only for such Customer’s own internal business purposes in connection with the CCS Services;

 

(e) Upon execution of this Agreement, each Customer may make an unlimited number of copies of the applicable Expanded License Software for its use under this Expanded License; provided, however, that such Customer shall reproduce all confidentiality and proprietary notices on all such copies;

 

(f) This Expanded License is not transferable, in whole or in part, except as permitted under Section 12.7 of this Agreement;

 

(g) In addition to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.5 below, Customers will not use, or permit any other person to use, the Expanded License Software in a service bureau capacity (e.g., whereby two or more unrelated parties are capable of deriving the benefit of the software from a common or shared computer facility); and

(h) The Expanded License Software granted under this Section 2.3(a) is exclusive of any third party software that may be required to operate the software or required in the Designated Environment, for which each Customer agrees to be solely responsible for procuring.

 

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.3, “Customer” shall not include TWC.

2.4 Designated Environment. “Designated Environment” means the then-current combination of other computer programs and hardware equipment specified for use with the Products as identified by CSG on Schedule D, as such Schedule D may be updated by CSG from time to time in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that each Customer will receive six (6) months prior written notice for any changes to the hardware and/or software that each Customer or a Subscriber is required to maintain in order to use or access any of the Products or Services, except for changes in (a) the operating system, or (b) in CSG’s Products or Services which are solely under CSG’s control, in which case CSG shall give Customers no less than nine (9) months prior notice. Notwithstanding the above, CSG shall have no obligation to give prior notice to Customers of changes to the Designated Environment that do not require Customers or their Subscribers to upgrade its computer programs or hardware equipment unless such changes would necessitate training of Customers’ customer service representatives, in which case at least 90 day’s notice shall be given to Customers. Subject to the foregoing sentences, each Customer may use the Products only in the Designated Environment and will be solely responsible for upgrading the Designated Environment to the specifications that CSG may provide from time to time in accordance with this Section 2.4. If a Customer fails to do so or otherwise uses the Products outside the Designated Environment, CSG will have no obligation to continue maintaining and supporting the Products. Upon request by a Customer, CSG shall certify (at such Customer’s expense) that such Customer is in compliance with the Designated Environment and upon inspection, shall notify Customer of any non-compliance prior to the commencement of CSG’s obligations under this Agreement, including its obligations to maintain and support the Products. Any other use or transfer of the Products outside of the Designated Environment will require CSG’s prior approval not to be unreasonably withheld, which may be subject to additional charges. CSG will not have any responsibility or liability in connection with malfunctions or any damage resulting from any modification to the Products not authorized by CSG or any use of the Products in connection with software or hardware not included in a Designated Environment.

2.5 Restrictions. Each Customer agrees that it shall not: (i) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any Product; (ii) sell, lease, license or sublicense any Product; (iii) publish (other than internally for use by TWC and the Affiliates) any results of benchmark tests on the Product; (iv) create, write or develop any derivative software or any other software program based on the Product; (v) use the Products to provide any service to or on behalf of any third parties in a service bureau capacity; (vi) permit any other person to use the Products, whether on a time-sharing, remote job entry or other multiple user arrangement; and (vii) install the Software, Update or Deliverable (as defined in Sections 4.1 and 3.6) licensed on a per Workstation basis on a network or other multi-user computer system unless CSG specifically authorizes it in writing. Use, duplication or disclosure by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies is subject to restrictions set forth in the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation clause at DFARS 227.7202 and/or the Commercial Computer Software Restricted Rights clause at FAR 52.227.19(c).

2.6 Third Party Software. Each Customer acknowledges that certain commercially available third party software and documentation may be procured by such Customer through CSG and that, in such case, such Customer’s rights and obligations with respect thereto are subject to the license terms that might accompany such third party products. The fees, if any, for such third party products that may be procured through CSG are set forth in Schedule F. Customer shall execute any additional documents that such vendors may require enabling CSG to deliver the third party products that a Customer elects to procure through CSG. To the extent third party products are procured through CSG, and provided CSG has the necessary rights, CSG shall pass through all warranties and indemnities provided by any licensor of any such third party products. Customer may be required to procure other third party software in the Designated Environments for the Products licensed by such Customer from someone other than CSG and such Customer shall be responsible for any and all fees related thereto. CSG makes no warranty and provides no indemnity with respect to such third party products procured through CSG. Notwithstanding the above, any third party software embedded in the Products shall be considered “Products” for purposes of this Agreement (“Embedded Third Party Software”). Third party software that does not constitute Embedded Third Party Software shall not be considered “Products” for purposes of this Agreement. Customers shall not be obligated to procure any third party products (other than the Embedded Third Party Software) through CSG and may, instead, choose to procure such third party products separately.

2.7 Third Party Licenses. CSG may provide Customers with Products, third party software and Services subject to patent or copyright licenses that third parties, including Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P., have granted to CSG (“Third Party Licenses”). Each Customer acknowledges that such Customer receives no express or implied license under the Third Party Licenses other than the right to use the Products, any third party software and Services, as provided by CSG in the video and high speed data industry. Any modification of or addition to the Products, third party software or Services or combination with other software, hardware or services that is not made or provided by CSG, is not licensed under this Agreement, expressly or impliedly, and may subject such Customer and any third party supplier or service provider to an infringement claim. Neither Customers nor any third party will have any express or implied rights under the Third Party Licenses with respect to (i) any software, hardware or services not provided by CSG or (ii) any product or service provided by Customers other than through the authorized use of the Products, third party software or Services as provided by CSG.

2.8 Copies. Except as expressly permitted in Section 2.3 above, each Customer may make only one back-up archival copy of the Products and Updates (as defined in Section 4.1 below). Each Customer will reproduce all confidentiality and proprietary notices on each of these copies and maintain an accurate record of the location of each of these copies.

2.9 Ownership. All trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights in or related to the Products, the Deliverables (except as and to the extent otherwise specified in the applicable Statement of Work ), any Embedded Third Party Software, or copies thereof (collectively the “Software Products”) are and will remain the exclusive property of CSG or its licensors, whether or not specifically recognized or perfected under applicable law. Customers will not take any action that jeopardizes CSG’s or its licensor’s proprietary rights or acquires any right in the Software Products, except the limited use rights specified herein. CSG or its licensor will own all rights in any copy, translation, modification, adaptation or derivation of the Software Products, including any improvement or development thereof, except as and to the extent otherwise specified in the applicable Statement of Work. Customers will obtain, at CSG’s request, the execution of any instrument that may be appropriate to assign these rights to CSG or its designee or perfect these rights in CSG’s or its licensor’s name.

ARTICLE 3

SERVICES

3.1 CCS Services.

 

(a) Connected Subscribers. Each Customer will purchase from CSG the Basic Services for all of Customer’s Connected Subscribers. For purposes of this Agreement, “Connected Subscribers” shall mean, for each Customer, the total number of Subscribers connected for service on CSG’s subscriber master file reflected on the ledger activity report on the last processing day of a processing month for such Customer. The Basic Services will provide each Customer with an on-line terminal facility (not the terminals themselves), service bureau access to CCS processing software, adequate computer time and other mechanical data processing services as more specifically described in the Documentation (as defined in Section 2.1 above). Each Customer’s personnel shall enter all payments and non-monetary changes on terminal(s) located at such Customer’s offices, or provide CSG payment information on magnetic tape or electronic record in CSG’s format. CSG and each Customer acknowledge and agree that the Documentation describing the CCS Services is subject to ongoing review and modification. Except where a Customer has provided reasonable advance notice to CSG and CSG has provided consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of a planned Macro or Screen Scraping (as defined below), Customers acknowledge and agree that transactions executed Monday through Friday, between the hours of **:** *.* (***) *** *:** *.*. (***) which are the result of: (i) computer generated on-line transactions which allow Customer(s) to select numerous transactions with a single command (“Macros”); or (ii) selecting multiple fields from CSG’s online screens and populating an application or database on Customer’s end (“Screen Scraping”), will be subject to a reduction to an acceptable level by CSG if a threshold of *** **-**** transactions within a ******* (**) ****** period is reached but such transactions shall not be terminated. For clarification purposes, the “reduction” in transactions described in the preceding sentence shall mean a reduction in the number of transaction completed within a ******* (**) ****** period.

CSG shall provide installation, implementation and conversion services as described on Schedule G in connection with a Customer’s conversion of each System Site and for those added, upon a Customer’s request, to CSG’s data processing system subsequent to the execution of this Agreement (the “Implementation/Conversion Services”).

ARTICLE 4

MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

4.1 Support Services. Subject to payment by each Customer of the Support Services fees set forth in Schedule F (if any) or in an SOW, following expiration of the Warranty Period (as defined in Section 8.1) and continuing through the term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 1.2, CSG will provide each Customer its standard support and maintenance of the then-current version of each licensed Product (excluding any customization) and each Deliverable for which a Customer has elected to receive support and maintenance, in each case, as described on Schedule H (“Support Services”). Included in the Support Services is support of the then-current version of the licensed Products via CSG’s Product Support Center, Account Management, publication updates, and the fixes, updates, upgrades or new versions of the Products or Documentation that CSG may make generally available as part of its maintenance and support packages (the “Updates”). For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement that each licensed Product be at the then-current version refers only to those versions of the licensed Products distributed in the form of Updates provided to Customers at no additional charge under this Agreement. Customers shall not be obligated to install any update (i) for which a separate charge is made, or (ii) for which CSG has not provided adequate notice for a Designated Environment change in accordance with Section 2.4.

4.2 Exclusions. If a Customer is not utilizing the Products in the applicable Designated Environment or such Customer has added third party applications, then except as set forth in Section 4.5, such Customer shall be responsible for making all necessary modifications to such third party applications to ensure they function properly with the Updates where such incompatability was caused by the use of such third party application. Custom software modifications are not included in Support Services as Updates, but are covered as Technical Services under Section 3.5. The Support Services do not include (i) customization to any Product, or (ii) maintenance and support of any customization (unless a Customer has elected to receive support and maintenance services therefor and CSG and such Customer have agreed on the pricing for such support and maintenance services) or any other third party software (except for Embedded Third Party Software). The maintenance and support for third party products (other than Embedded Third Party Software) is provided by the licensor of those products. Although CSG may assist in this maintenance and support with front-line support, CSG will have no liability with respect thereto and Customers must look solely to the licensor.

4.3 Limitations. Updates to any Software or Service do not include any upgrade or new version of the Software or Services that CSG decides, in its sole discretion, to make generally available as a separately priced item. CSG will not be required to (i) develop and release Updates, (ii) customize Updates to satisfy a Customer’s particular requests, or (iii) obtain updates or enhancements to any third party product. If an Update replaces a prior version of the CSG Software, each Customer will destroy such prior version and all archival copies upon installing the Update.

4.4 Training. CSG shall provide initial training and education services to each Customer with respect to the operation of the Products and Services for the fees set forth in Schedule F. CSG may provide additional training and education Services to a Customer upon request from time to time at an additional cost as identified in Schedule F or as agreed upon in a Statement of Work.

4.5 Interfaces. CSG agrees that each new version or Update of the Products, and each modification, enhancement, or upgrade of the systems used by CSG or its subcontractors to provide the Services (collectively, “CSG Systems”), shall maintain compatibility and interoperability with all interfaces that CSG has created or developed, as of the Effective Date, between the Products and/or any CSG System and any other software, system or product of a third party used by a Customer (“Third Party Systems”), including without limitation all interfaces listed on Schedule F or any Affiliate Addendum. CSG further agrees that each new version or Update of the Products, and each modification, enhancement, or upgrade of the CSG Systems shall maintain compatibility and interoperability with all interfaces that CSG has created or developed after the Effective Date unless otherwise agreed in writing in the applicable SOW. For purposes of clarification, where subsequent to the development by CSG of any such interface, an incompatibility issue is caused by a change in a Third Party System, rather than a change in a Product or a CSG System, CSG shall not be responsible for such incompatibility.

The parties will cooperate in good faith to resolve any such payment disputes within *** (**) **** after CSG’s receipt of notice of the disputed amounts. If the dispute is not resolved during the *** (**) *** period, it will be elevated to a senior representative in CSG’s Finance Department and to such Customer’s Vice President of Finance. Such parties will use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute as quickly as possible. CSG will provide such Customer with a recap letter along with the monthly invoices listing any outstanding disputed amounts. Once the dispute is resolved, payment shall be made by the applicable Customer within *** (**) **** following such resolution.

5.3 Taxes. All amounts payable by a Customer to CSG under this Agreement do not include any applicable use, sales, property or other taxes that may be assessable in connection with this Agreement. Each Customer will pay any taxes in addition to the amount due and payable by it under this Agreement. If a Customer pays any such tax directly to the appropriate taxing authority, such Customer shall, upon CSG’s request, furnish CSG with the official receipt of such payment. However, no Customer shall be liable for any taxes based on CSG’s net income.

5.4 Adjustment to Fees. *** ***** *** ****** *** ** *** **** ********* ** **** ********* ***** ** *** ***** *********** **** ** *** ********* **** (** ******* ** ******* *.*). **********, **** ****** (**) **** ***** ******* ******, *** *** ******** **** **** ******** ** ** ****** ***** ** *** ******* ** *.* ******* (*.*%) ** *** ******* ******* (***%) ** *** ********** ******** ** *** ******** ***** *****, ***** *********, *** ****** ******** ****-** ****** ***, ****** *** ***** ******** **** ** ********* ** *** *.*. ********** ** ***** ** *** ********* *****. The fees for third party software (other than Embedded Third Party Software) procured through CSG are dependent upon agreements between CSG and the vendor, and CSG may increase the fees it charges to a Customer for such third party software at any time pursuant to variations in the fees charged by the applicable third party vendor; provided, however, that (a) CSG shall provide as much notice to Customers as it receives from such third party vendors of any such fee increase which notice shall not be less than ** ****’ notice of such increase, and (b) a Customer may negotiate directly with such third party vendor and may license such third party software directly from such third party vendors at such Customer’s option.

5.5 Shipment. CSG will use commercially reasonable efforts to make software available for electronic download by the Customer with the use of an access code provided by CSG. In the alternative, CSG will ship the Products (FOB shipping point), and any CSG-provided third party software from its distribution center located in the United States, subject to delays beyond CSG’s control. Each Customer’s license to the Products commences upon CSG’s delivery of the Products to the carrier for shipment to such Customer, in the case of shipment via CD or other media, or upon delivery of an email message with an access code to such Customer, in the case of electronic shipment. Upon timely notice by a Customer to CSG, CSG will promptly replace, at CSG’s expense, any Products that are lost or damaged while en route to such Customer.

At a Customer’s request and subject to the terms and conditions of a Statement of Work, CSG will consult with, assist and advise each Customer regarding such Customer’s discharge of its responsibilities with respect to the Required Equipment, and CSG may obtain for such Customer any Required Equipment on terms and conditions set forth in a separately executed purchase agreement. CSG will support TCP/IP as a network protocol. Specific configuration and engineering related details will be addressed on a case by case basis at the TWC division or site level.

(b) If necessary for a Customer to receive the Products and/or Services, CSG may provide or Customer may procure, at such Customer’s expense (including any additional charges set forth in Schedule F), a data communications line from CSG’s data processing center to each of such Customer’s System Sites, as appropriate. Each Customer shall pay all fees and charges in connection with the installation and use of the data communications line and any peripheral equipment related thereto in accordance with the fees set forth in Schedule F. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Customer may procure, at Customer’s sole expense, its own direct connection into the CSG facility from a third party vendor approved by CSG, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Such direct connection shall be provided pursuant to a mutually agreeable SOW and Customer shall pay CSG for such services ** ***’* ****** **** **** * ****** ******* (**%) ****** unless otherwise set forth in the SOW. Upon a Customer’s request and at Customer’s expense, CSG shall provide reasonably detailed backup documentation ************* **** ****** ***** ** **** **** **** ** **** ****** (**) ***** ******.

Customer acknowledges that (i) the fees set forth in Schedule F and other charges contemplated under this Agreement are based on the limited warranty, disclaimers and limitation of liability specified in Sections 2.4 and 2.6, and Articles 7, 8 and 9, and (ii) such charges would be substantially higher if any of these provisions were unenforceable.

ARTICLE 6

TERMINATION

6.1 Termination. This Agreement or any one or more of the Statement(s) of Work or attached Schedules may be terminated as follows:

(a) If TWC or its employees or consultants breach any material term or condition of this Agreement involving the license restrictions relating to a Product and fails to substantially cure such breach within *** (**) **** after receiving written notice specifying the breach, CSG may, at CSG’s option, terminate this Agreement only as it pertains to TWC’s license of such particular Product (and not with respect to any Affiliate Addendum). A termination of TWC’s license of a particular Product under this Section 6.1(a) shall in no way terminate or limit the rights of the Participating Affiliates under their respective Affiliate Addenda. Further, CSG may terminate this Agreement, either in its entirety or only as it pertains to a particular Product, Deliverable or Service, with respect to a Participating Affiliate if such Participating Affiliate or its employees or consultants breach any material term or condition of this Agreement involving the license restrictions relating to a Product and fails to substantially cure such breach within *** (**) **** after receiving written notice (with a copy to TWC pursuant to Section 12.9) specifying the breach.

(b) If, after ****** (**) **** of receiving written notice of breach thereof, TWC fails to pay when due any amounts owed hereunder (in accordance with Section 5.2), CSG may, at CSG’s option, terminate this Agreement in its entirety. In addition, if, after ****** (**) **** of receiving written notice of breach thereof, a Participating Affiliate fails to pay when due any amounts owed hereunder (in accordance with Section 5.2), CSG may terminate this Agreement only as it pertains to such Customer’s Affiliate Addenda.

(c) If either TWC or CSG breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement, other than those identified in Subsections 6.1(a) and 6.1(b) above, and fails either to substantially cure such breach within ****** (**) **** after receiving written notice specifying the breach or, for those breaches which cannot reasonably be cured within ****** (**) ****, promptly commence curing such breach and thereafter proceed with all due diligence to substantially cure such breach, then the party not in breach may, by giving written notice to the breaching party, terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or as it pertains to a particular Product, Deliverable or Service(s), as of a date specified in such notice of termination.

(d) If TWC or CSG becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt, is the subject of any proceedings related to its liquidation, insolvency or for the appointment of a receiver or similar officer for it, makes an assignment for the benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors, or enters into an agreement for the composition, extension or readjustment of all or substantially all of its obligations, then the other party hereto may, by giving written notice thereof to such party, terminate this Agreement as of the date specified in such notice of termination.

(e) If a Participating Affiliate or CSG breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement as it relates to such Participating Affiliate (other than those identified in Section 6.1(a)) and fails either to substantially cure such breach within ****** (**) **** after receiving written notice from the other specifying the breach and such party’s intent to terminate the applicable Affiliate Addendum or a particular Product, Deliverable or Service if such breach is not substantially cured or, for those breaches which cannot reasonably be cured within ****** (**) ****, promptly commence curing such breach and thereafter proceed with all due diligence to substantially cure such breach, then the party not in breach may, by giving written notice to the breaching party, terminate this Agreement, in its entirety as it pertains to such Participating Affiliate or as it pertains to a particular Product, Deliverable or Service(s) provided to such Participating Affiliate hereunder, as of a date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that any such termination shall be only with respect to such Participating Affiliate’s Affiliate Addendum. If a terminated Service relates to a Participating Affiliate’s use of (1) the Care Express electronic bill presentment and payment Services, such Participating Affiliate may also terminate Consolidator Services, or (2) Consolidator Services, such Participating Affiliate may also terminate the Care Express electronic bill presentment and payment Services. If a Participating Affiliate terminates its Affiliate Addendum pursuant to this Section 6.1(e), then, with respect to any fees set forth in Schedule F based on a minimum number of monthly Connected Subscriber fees, such minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers shall automatically be reduced by the number of such Participating Affiliate’s monthly Connected Subscribers at the time of such termination of its Affiliate Addendum (“Terminated Monthly Connected Subscribers”). In addition, with respect to all fees set forth in Schedule F which vary based on the number of monthly Connected Subscribers, the thresholds for each volume pricing tier shall be automatically reduced by the number of Terminated Monthly Connected Subscribers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer(s) acknowledge that if there is a dispute as to whether there is a material breach by CSG as it relates to a Participating Affiliate, (a) such Participating Affiliate shall be required to pay for Termination Assistance Services at the rate of the fees payable for the Products and Services under Schedule F of this Agreement, and (b) neither the minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers nor the volume pricing tier shall be reduced by the number of Terminated Monthly Connected Subscribers until the parties have reached a final resolution of the issue in accordance with Section 11. In the event the parties resolve, or it is determined pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 11, that CSG has materially breached the Agreement and has failed to timely cure in accordance with this Section, CSG shall (i) retroactively reduce the minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers and the volume pricing tier in accordance with the foregoing sentence as of the date of CSG received notice of breach from Customer(s), and (ii) within *** (**) **** of such resolution, refund to such Customer all fees paid by such Customer for Termination Assistance Services.

(f) A Participating Affiliate may terminate the Affiliate Addendum to which it is a party, or a Product, Deliverable or Service thereunder, upon written notice to CSG, except that such written notice to CSG shall be provided at least ****** (**) **** in advance where such termination will result in a deconversion of Subscribers to another billing vendor. Any such termination of an Affiliate Addendum shall be without charge or penalty (except for its obligation to pay any fees due as of the date of termination and any applicable deconversion fees set forth in Section 3.1); however, such termination for convenience shall not diminish or relieve TWC’s obligation to pay those minimum fees set forth in Schedule F that are based on a minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers.

6.2 Termination Assistance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, either in its entirety or only as it pertains to a particular Product, Deliverable or Service, and either with respect to all Customers or with respect to a particular Customer (a) the license for the Products shall remain in effect and (b) provided the applicable Customer(s) has paid to CSG all undisputed fees due pursuant to this Agreement as of the date of expiration or termination (including any applicable Discontinuance Fees set forth in Section 6.3 below), CSG shall (i) continue to provide the Services, and (ii) provide reasonable assistance to each Customer with respect to which this Agreement, or a particular Product, Deliverable, or Service, has been terminated in order to achieve an orderly transition to another vendor for the provision of similar product(s), deliverable(s) and/or service(s) (collectively, “Termination Assistance Services”) for up to *** ******* *** ****** (***) **** after such expiration or termination or a period of time mutually agreed to by the Parties (with respect to each Customer, the “Termination Assistance Period”). In the event that this Agreement, or a Product, Deliverable or Service, is terminated by TWC pursuant to Section 6.1(c) or (d) or in the event that an Affiliate Addendum, or a Product, Deliverable or Service, is terminated by a Participating Affiliate pursuant to Section 6.1(e) of this Agreement, and provided the applicable Customer(s) has paid CSG any and all undisputed fees (including any Reimbursable Expenses) due hereunder as of the date of termination, the Termination Assistance Services shall be provided by CSG at no charge to such Customer(s). In the event that this Agreement or an Affiliate Addendum expires or is terminated for any other reason, then, provided such Customer has paid CSG any and all undisputed fees (including any Reimbursable Expenses and any applicable Discontinuance Fees set forth in Section 6.3 below) due hereunder as of the date of expiration or termination, the Termination Assistance Services shall be provided by CSG for fees payable for the Products and Services under Schedule F of this Agreement. Each Customer electing to receive Termination Assistance Services, where CSG is entitled to charge for such Services pursuant to the foregoing sentences, shall pay CSG in advance, on the first day of each calendar month and as a condition to CSG’s obligation to provide Termination Assistance Services to such Customer during that month, an amount equal to CSG’s reasonable estimate of the total amount payable to CSG for such Termination Assistance Services for that month. If the fees paid in advance for such month by a Customer are less than the actual fees for such month owed to CSG for the Termination Assistance Services, then the difference shall be added to such Customer’s fee payment for the succeeding month (or if the Termination Assistance Period has expired, such Customer shall pay such amount to such CSG). If the fees for the Termination Assistance Services paid by a Customer in advance for such month are more than the actual fees for such Customer for such month, then CSG shall credit to the advance payment amount owed by such Customer to CSG for the succeeding month (or if the Termination Assistance Period has expired, CSG shall refund such amount to such Customer). Notwithstanding the above, if there is a dispute as to whether there is a material breach by CSG, such Customer(s) shall pay CSG the fees for Termination Assistance Services in accordance with the above until the parties reach a final resolution. In the event the parties resolve, or it is determined pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 11, that CSG has materially breached the Agreement and has failed to timely cure in accordance with this Section 6, CSG shall refund to Customer(s) the fees paid for Termination Assistance Services within *** (**) **** of the resolution of such dispute.

6.3 Discontinuance Fee; Termination of a Particular Product, Deliverable or Service; Minimum Fees. Upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety for reasons other than by TWC pursuant to Section 6.1(c) or 6.1(d), TWC shall pay the Discontinuance Fee described in the first paragraph of Schedule F. No Discontinuance Fees or other penalty shall be owed by TWC on account of any such termination where this Agreement is terminated in its entirety by TWC pursuant to Section 6.1(c) or 6.1(d). For the avoidance of doubt, where this Agreement is not terminated in its entirety but one or more Affiliate Addenda are terminated or, certain Products, Deliverables or Services thereunder are terminated, no Discontinuance Fees shall be owed to CSG by reason of any such termination in accordance with this Section 6.3. However, Customer is still obligated to pay any other fees owed to CSG pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the deconversion fees payable by the applicable Participating Affiliate pursuant to Section 3.1(c) of this Agreement. Where this Agreement is not terminated in its entirety but one or more Affiliate Addenda are terminated, or certain Products, Deliverables or Services thereunder are terminated, TWC shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay those minimum fees set forth in Schedule F that are based on a minimum number of monthly Connected Subscribers. Except for Customer’s liability resulting from (a) Customer’s indemnification obligations under Section 7 or 3.9; or (b) Customer’s breach of its confidentiality obligations in Section 10; or (c) termination by CSG in accordance with Section 6.1(b), the Discontinuance Fees, if any, payable pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be CSG’s sole and exclusive remedy upon any termination of this Agreement.

7.2 Customer(s) Intellectual Property Indemnity. If any action is instituted against CSG directly or indirectly resulting from a Customer’s breach of any of its representations or warranties under Sections 3.3(c) and 3.5(b) above and Exhibit C-6, except for those claims arising directly from CSG Intellectual Property, such Customer shall indemnify, defend (including without limitation by making any interim payment necessary for appeal) and hold CSG and its Related Parties harmless, at such Customer’ expense, and pay the damages and costs finally awarded against CSG or its Related Parties in the infringement action or any settlement amount approved by such Customer, but only if CSG complies with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 7.4 below.

10.1 Definition. During the term of this Agreement, CSG and its Related Parties, on the one hand, and Customers and their Related Parties, on the other hand will provide to each other or will come into the possession of Confidential Information of the other party. Confidential Information shall constitute: any information or data (including information or data received by the disclosing party from a third party and as to which the disclosing party has confidentiality obligations) (a) fixed in a tangible medium and furnished by the disclosing party to the receiving party under this Agreement and marked as the confidential or proprietary information of the disclosing party, or (b) which, if disclosed orally, is identified by the disclosing party at the time as being confidential or proprietary and is confirmed by the disclosing party as being Confidential Information in writing within ****** (**) **** after its initial disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSG acknowledges that all information and data relating to the current, former or prospective Subscribers of Customers shall constitute Confidential Information of Customers. Customers acknowledge that the Software shall constitute Confidential Information of CSG or its vendors. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall also constitute Confidential Information which neither party may disclose without the other party’s prior written consent.

10.2 Restrictions. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information and not show or otherwise disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties, including, but not limited to, independent contractors and consultants, without the prior written consent of the disclosing party. Each party shall use the Confidential Information solely for purposes of performing its obligations under this Agreement. Each party shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify the other party and its Related Parties from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlement amounts, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from any third party claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding or investigation that the disclosing party may sustain as a result of the wrongful use or disclosure of Confidential Information by the receiving party (or any employee, agent, licensee, contractor, assignee or delegate of the receiving party). Customers shall not remove or deface any confidentiality or proprietary notice placed on any CSG documentation or Products. The placement of copyright notices on these items will not constitute publication or otherwise impair their confidential nature.

10.3 Disclosures. 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. If required by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority, the receiving party may disclose to such authority, data, information or materials involving or pertaining to Confidential Information to the extent required by such order or authority, provided that the receiving party shall first have used its best efforts to obtain a protective order or other protection reasonably satisfactory to the disclosing party sufficient to maintain the confidentiality of such data, information or materials. If an unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information occurs, the Parties will take all steps which may be available to recover the documentation and/or products and to prevent their subsequent unauthorized use or dissemination.

Exhibit C-1

Electronic Payment Services (PayBill Advantage)

1. Electronic Payment Services. CSG will provide to each Customer the data processing services, including reasonable backup security in accordance with industry standards for such Customer’s data, to support electronic bill paying services as set forth in Section 2 below (the “Core Services”) for Customer’s Subscriber accounts that elect to pay their Customer bill statements via electronic fund transfer.

2. Core Services.

(a) Consumer Debits. Each Subscriber will have the option to pre-authorize a debit to either their checking account or savings account on a recurring, monthly basis or on a one-time basis. The CCS system will automatically determine monthly debit date for recurring, monthly debits based on the Customers’ user data files. The Subscriber will determine the debit date for one-time payments. CSG or, if applicable, the third party merchant bank that originates the automated clearing house debit (“ACH Originator”) will be responsible for the disbursement, remittance and settlement of all funds. CSG will create and submit a pre-authorized payment disbursement file according to bank industry standards (National Automated Clearing House Association, “NACHA”, or Electronic Data Interface, “EDI”) containing a debit record for Subscribers who have pre-authorized monthly or one-time debits to be made from checking or savings accounts. The ACH Originator will submit to an automated clearing house data in the required format for the collection of the payments from Subscribers bank accounts, which will be effected on the collection date, or if that date is not a banking day, the first banking day after such date. Each debit will be submitted so as to effect the payment on the designated date. Each Customer shall designate the bank who will act as the ACH Originator for such Customer and shall enter into an agreement, on such terms and conditions as such Customer may approve in its sole discretion, with such ACH Originator if required by such ACH Originator. Current banks available for selection for electronic fund transfers are listed in Attachment A to this Exhibit C-1. A different or additional bank for electronic fund transfers may be added under a mutually agreed upon Statement of Work between a Customer and CSG providing for the creation of the necessary interface. The Core Services shall be rendered by CSG and the ACH Originator in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of any governmental authority and any clearing house or clearing house association, including without limitation, the operating rules of NACHA as amended from time to time.

(b) Credit of Remittances. CSG will post to a Subscriber’s CCS account a payment transaction for each processing Subscriber on the Subscriber’s collection day.

(c) Enrollment Process. Each Customer is responsible for obtaining a Subscriber’s authorization for such Subscriber’s electronic fund transfer to such Customer as required by NACHA, except for electronic fund transfers made pursuant to the Services described on Schedule C-4 of this Agreement (“EBPP Transactions”) in which case it shall be CSG’s responsibility to obtain such authorization. Except for EBPP Transactions, each Customer will input Subscriber type of account, bank account number, payment method, and bank routing information into the CCS system. With respect to recurring, monthly payments only, 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 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 monthly payment date.

(d) Automatic Pre-Authorized Payments. CSG and the third party ACH Originator shall provide electronic fund transfer via ACH debit for both recurring, monthly payments and one-time payments. For recurring, monthly payments, CSG will submit a file to the ACH Originator three days prior to the date the debit is scheduled to take place. Additionally, the Subscriber payment amount submitted to the ACH Originator for recurring, monthly payments 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. For one-time payments, CSG will submit a file to the ACH Originator on the date the payment is entered in to the CCS system. Additionally, the Subscriber payment amount submitted to the ACH Originator for one-time payments will be determined by the Subscriber. If the designated date for deduction falls on a weekend and/or holiday, the deduction will not occur until the next scheduled banking day.

(f) Settlement and Posting of Returns. The ACH Originator will settle daily returns against the applicable Customer’s bank account, as designated by such Customer from time to time. Settlement with each Customer will be done daily. Each day for which there are returns, the ACH Originator will initiate a debit to the Customer’s specified account for the total amount of debits received by ACH Originator that day. If the ACH Originator retries certain return items, first time NSF returns re-deposited by ACH Originator will not be debited to the Customer’s specified account Each Customer is ultimately responsible to cover on a daily basis all return debits incurred by ACH Originator and in the event collections have ceased, such Customer shall be obligated to pay within *** (**) **** any unfunded return amounts not funded to cover all remaining return debits. CSG will post to a Subscriber’s CCS account a returned payment transaction for each Subscriber whose electronic fund transfer payment is returned or reversed on the date that such return or reversal occurs.

(g) Record Keeping. Each Customer is responsible for maintaining Subscriber authorization forms for the minimum period required by applicable government laws or regulations, except for EBPP Transactions in which case it shall be CSG’s responsibility.

* Please Note: This is the ‘Professional’ edition not the ‘ME’. (Millennium Edition). To Use Windows 2000, the workstation must be set to Power User. If you would prefer to not change the workstation security to Power User, you can manually install a security template on each workstation. The appropriate template is compat*.inf and is found at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/professional/help/sag_SCEdefaultpols.htm
** Listed below are details specific to Windows XP and requirements that must be followed in order for the ACSR application to execute properly.

 

1. Supported version is Windows XP Professional Edition. The Windows XP Home Edition will not be supported.
2. CSG strongly recommends the installation of the XP security patch referenced in the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-059 and dated 12/20/01 for all customers using the XP OS. More information about this patch can be found at the following Microsoft link: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/ms01-059.asp
3. 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, there is one other option. As with Windows 2000, Microsoft has defined a compatible security template that opens up the default access control policy for the Users group. Installation of this template will allow ACSR to install and function correctly. For more information about this template, please contact Microsoft Support.

 

4. 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.

CSG Vantage Designated Environment

 

Effective: 6/02    Page 1 of 1

Using Vantage in the ACSR and/or ACSR Telephony 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.
