which responds with a success or failure message. On success, the User will exist in the Portelus database. In the event of a failure, the CSR should resolve the issue in Embarq’s provisioning tool; if not, Synacor support should be contacted

 TO

 SYNACOR MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT AND CONTRACT ORDER 

If any provision of this Addendum conflicts with a provision of the Master Services Agreement or the Contract Order, the provision of the
Master Services Agreement or Contract Order, as applicable, shall control. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Master Services Agreement or the Contract Order. 

1. Premium Content. The content to be distributed hereunder may be obtained by Synacor (the “Synacor Content”) and/or by Embarq (the
“Embarq Content”). The Synacor Content and the Embarq Content are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Content”. Distribution rights to the Synacor Content will be obtained by Synacor from third party content providers
(each individually a “Synacor Provider” and collectively, the “Synacor Providers”) for the non-exclusive distribution by third parties including, but not limited to, Embarq. The Embarq Content will be owned by Embarq or licensed

parties may determine, System web pages and/or Content will be hosted and served by Synacor or Embarq, subject to the approval of Synacor. 
 3.
Content Hosting and Delivery System. Synacor will maintain a User registration and login system that is integrated with its content provisioning solution (the “System”) which will be used to control User access to the Content and to manage
the updating and delivery of the Content to the User. Depending upon the System implementation for Embarq, as such may be revised during the Term by consent of the parties, hosting and serving of Content may be provided by Embarq, Embarq Providers,
Synacor and/or by Synacor Providers. To the extent that Synacor Provider’s or Embarq Provider’s systems are used to host or serve Content, the service levels and availability of such systems for Users will be no lower than the service
levels and the availability of such systems to other content distributors or consumers. With Embarq’s prior written consent, Synacor can: (i) offer new Content which it has obtained for distribution; (ii) create and modify bundles of
Content to be made available to Users; (iii) edit or modify the editorial content and design of the web pages with which the consumer interacts in order to access the Content; and (iv) remove any or all of the Content from availability to
Embarq’s Users. Synacor shall take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to implement any such Embarq decisions as soon as is reasonably practicable; provided, however, that where Embarq requests that any specified piece of Content be
removed from the System, Synacor shall remove such title or titles from the System as expeditiously as possible, and in all events within seventy-two (72) hours after receipt of notice from Embarq. 

4. Subscriber Billing. User billing will be the sole responsibility of Embarq, except any transactions that Embarq directs Synacor to offer via credit
card billing. 
 5. Terms of Use. In order to complete his or her registration as a subscriber, each User will be required to electronically
accept the Terms of Use (“TOU”) as mutually agreed by Synacor and Embarq.. Prior to acceptance of the TOU, Synacor shall present each User with the opportunity to review and agree to the TOU. Synacor shall not amend, modify or otherwise
change the TOU without the consent of Embarq, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided, however, that the terms of the TOU may be amended, modified or otherwise changed by Synacor as necessary to comply with the requirements of
any Synacor Provider or applicable law.

causes beyond Synacor’s control, whether or not similar to the foregoing. 
 Embarq should direct all requests for support
to Synacor’s Technical Support Group. To reach Synacor’s Technical Support by phone dial 1-866-5358286 or by e-mail at tss@synacor.com

(ii) the inability of Users to access Content as a result of such Users’ Internet/network connection; (iii) impediments affecting the path (route) traveled in accessing Synacor’s systems except for those facilities owned, operated or
maintained by Synacor or by a third party on behalf of Synacor; and (iv) the inability of Synacor Providers and Embarq Sourced Content Providers to update or deliver Content, provided that the inability is not due, in whole or in part, to
Synacor. 
 B. Embarq shall have the right to separately measure System Availability in order to ascertain and report System
Availability deficiencies provided that such measuring does not adversely affect System availability. In the event of discrepancies between Synacor’s testing results and those of Embarq, the Parties shall establish a workgroup of individuals
from both Parties to ascertain the source of and reason for the discrepancy, to identify the correct measurements, resolve in good faith any issues pertaining to the testing methods, and if applicable, to determine whether a remedy is due to Embarq.

 C. System Availability Credits —The System Availability credits set forth below will be applied to Embarq’s account

out or impaired for the duration of any of the following: (i) two (2) or more separate occasions lasting eight (8) or more hours each in any rolling two (2) month period; (ii) twelve (12) hours aggregated over any
rolling thirty (30) day period; (iii) thirty-two (32) hours aggregated over any rolling ninety (90) day period; (iv) sixty-four (64) hours aggregated over any rolling six (6)-month period; or (v) one hundred
(100) hours aggregated over any twelve (12) month period. 

 IV. Data Integrity and Retention

 A. Data Integrity — Synacor employs sophisticated RAID techniques to ensure the integrity of the data on its
servers; the data is written to two disks simultaneously to prevent data loss in the event of hardware failure. Synacor performs routine server backups for disaster recovery purposes only. Server backup scope and scheduling is at Synacor’s sole
discretion. Synacor shall not perform backup or restore of the data upon your request unless such backup is provided as a service under your purchase agreement. In addition, Synacor will maintain the highest level of data security and
confidentiality as is commercially reasonable in this industry. 
 B. [*] 

V. Security 

Synacor’s Security Department maintains the security, stability and integrity of Synacor’s systems and networks as well as to
ensure proper conduct by the Users. 
 System Intrusion — In
the event of a system intrusion by a “cracker” or “hacker”, the affected party(ies) will be notified and a solution will be implemented. Notification will occur upon identification of intrusion and the investigation of such
identifications by Synacor’ 
 Network Security — Synacor maintains network
firewalls and intrusion detection devices to prevent unauthorized access to the network infrastructure and systems. Network attacks such as Denial-of-Service attacks are logged and notification will occur when such attacks are verified.

OMITTED PORTIONS. 









 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED 

 

 Synacor has reserved a two (2) hour window from 3:00am—5:00am EST every Monday
morning for weekly maintenance, should the need for such maintenance arise. In the event that this window will be needed in a given week, Synacor will notify the Embarq no less than two business days prior to the window. If it is determined during
the window that the scheduled maintenance will run over the two (2) hour window, the Embarq will be notified immediately and receive regular updates until the period is complete. During these scheduled maintenance periods, the system and
services may be unavailable to Embarq and Embarq’s Users. Scheduled Maintenance Windows are not counted against System Availability percentages. 
 VII. Emergency Maintenance Notification 
 In the event that
emergency maintenance is required, during which time the system and services will be unavailable to Embarq and Embarq’s Users. Synacor will notify Embarq during this window via email to a designated distribution list of Embarq employees.
Emergency maintenance windows are counted against System Availability percentages. 
 VIII. Incident Management 

Synacor’s Embarq Support Group will be responsible for the control and management of incident calls and their assignment of priority
and escalation to resources within Synacor in their sole and absolute discretion. 
 When analyzing a case, it is important that
the client understand that the Embarq Support Group will expect the partner or the Users to aid in the analysis by providing any information and performing any actions or tasks requested by the analyst. The client who is not willing to assist the
analyst must understand that the case may take longer to solve and will not be included in the measurement of this service level agreement. 
 The following priority allocations will apply: 
 Priority 1 —These
cases are defined as a Synacor system condition where [*] or more of the User population is affected in their ability to access services as a result of outage across a service location, and/or the Synacor system that supports new data
subscriber activations is unresponsive. 
 Time Frame—Response to the client and efforts to resolve the problem will
occur within [*] of identification or receipt of notification 
 Follow-up—Provide updates to the client at
appropriate intervals until problem is resolved. 
 Priority 2—These cases are defined as a Synacor system condition
where less than [*] of the User population is affected in their ability to access services. 
 Time
Frame—Response to the client and efforts to resolve the problem will occur within [*] of identification or receipt of notification 
 Follow-up—Provide updates to the client every [*] until problem is resolved. 
 Priority 3—These cases are problems other than those meeting the specifications of Priority 1 or Priority 2. 
 Time Frame—Response to the client within [*] hours of identification or receipt of notification 
 Follow-up—Provide updates to the client at appropriate intervals until problem is resolved. 
 Upon the identification of a system event, Synacor will make every commercially reasonable effort to correct the system or service event if the most expeditious manner possible.

 56 

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









 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED 

 

 Escalation and Tracking Process. Synacor will provide and track trouble-call escalations
from Embarq’s Technical Support Group. Synacor Customer Service will utilize two (2) escalation methods from Embarq: 

(a) E-mail: Embarq will e-mail Synacor its request for support: tss@synacor.com A Synacor customer agent will respond to the question with
the answer or will issue a Tracking number to each matter that is escalated (as set forth above). The Synacor customer agent will then notify the Embarq escalation group with the appropriate timeline for any escalation to be resolved. 

(b) Phone: Embarq can reach Synacor’s Embarq Care group [*] by calling 1-866-535-8286. In the event that a support issue
requires Priority 1 treatment, or is otherwise better addressed by a telephone call rather than e-mail, Embarq may bypass Escalation Level 1 (as defined below) support and apply Escalation Level 3 support and initiate a call directly to a Synacor
support specialist. Such calls will be placed solely from the Embarq escalation group person(s) who is/are responsible for initiating Level 3 support requests. Following each such call, a Embarq escalation Level 3 support person will send an e-mail
confirming all the technical details regarding the issue. Synacor will then follow the same process of tracking such issues via the e-mail Tracking system. Synacor will provide prior written notice to Embarq of any change in the telephone contact
number. 
 The escalation process begins with the troubleshooting, diagnosis, and resolution processes. As Embarq’s service
team receives alerts they will be prioritized by Synacor based on the gravity and urgency of the underlying problem and assigned to a Synacor support technician in accordance with the Synacor Escalation Response Times and the Issue Severity tables
set forth below. 
 Each time Synacor escalates an issue to the next level, Synacor shall send an email confirming escalation.
The email shall go to Embarq’s designated contact for the applicable Level. 
 Escalation Levels 

Level 1—Email Technical Support Agent: Synacor Technical Support Agents available [*]. 

Level 2—Voice Support Specialist: If Level 1 issue is not resolved within [*] from the time the issue is reported to Level 1,
then Synacor will automatically escalate to Level 2. 
 Level 3    Support Management: If Level 2 issue is
not resolved within [*] from the time the issue is escalated to Level 2, then Synacor will automatically escalate to Level 3. 
 Level 4    Account Manager: If Level 3 issue not resolved within [*] from the time the issue is escalated to Level 3, then Synacor will automatically escalate to Level 4.

 Level 5    Product Management: If Level 4 issue not resolved within [*] from the time the issue is
escalated to Level 4, then Synacor will automatically escalate to Level 5. 
 Level 6    Vice President: If
Level 5 issue not resolved within [*] from the time the issue is escalated to Level 5, then Synacor will automatically escalate to Level 6.

X. Reporting 
 Synacor will
provide to Embarq, through a web-based interface, any and all User reporting that Synacor tracks following a schedule mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Furthermore, Synacor will use its best efforts to provide, through the same web-based

 Exhibit 10 
 Embarq Advertising and Content Guidelines 
 The following types of Content will not be
offered without written consent of Embarq: 
 Mature and Adult Entertainment. This type of content can generate
considerable controversy, even if legal, non-pornographic, and widely available in print format, including such things as frank relationship and sex advice, and suggestive or prurient images and stories. 

Violent Games and Video. The effect of violence on children is much debated, and controversy can be created if minors are
allowed to access violent content without parental approval. 
 Gambling and Sweepstakes. Gambling is illegal in
many states, and closely regulated in all states. Similarly, sweepstakes are subject to complex rules and are frequently scrutinized closely by consumer protection and law enforcement officials. 

Services Targeted to the Disadvantaged. When it first became widely available, 900 pay-per-call service was used to sell a
variety of goods and services that allegedly were not provided or were misrepresented. (For example, for a $40 charge on his telephone bill, a caller received an application for a debit card instead of the promised credit card.) 

Services Without Value to Customers. Examples include psychic advice and other personal services that many consumers and law
enforcement agencies believe are harmful or misleading. 
 Illegal, Unethical, Brand-Diminishing Content. Embarq
reserves the right to remove or disapprove any Content which it deems in its sole discretion as unethical or conflicting with “The Embarq Principles of Business Conduct” or which tends to attract governmental scrutiny, increased legal
liability or damage to Embarq’s brand. 
 Competitive Services and Contractual Obligations. Embarq reserves to
right to remove or disapprove any Content which it deems competitive to Embarq Services or which conflict with any existing contractual obligation Embarq may have. If Embarq invokes this content limitation, it will provide an explanation to Synacor
detailing, subject to confidentiality agreements, the reason for removal or disapproval.

 Service Assurance & Monitoring Rapid Problem Management Team 

High Severity Incident and Problem Management Policies and Guidelines 

 

	1.	Purpose and Scope: This Exhibit defines the principles, guidelines and processes used by the Embarq Rapid Problem Management Team in providing
end-to-end high severity incident and problem management for the owners of Embarq’s systems, applications, and services. (Throughout this exhibit, the term “product/service” refers to systems, products, applications, and services
supported by Rapid Problem Management). 

  

	2.	Rapid Problem Management: The Rapid Problem Management Team (RPM) in partnership with other support organizations at Embarq is responsible for minimizing
critical service disruptions through rapid response, focused management, and clear, concise communications to Embarq, its fix agents and management. The RPM team is the single point of contact for major service outages and is staffed 7X24X365. The
RPM team manages all severity 1 and 2 outages starting with detection and ending with Embarq verification upon restoral. 

  

	3.	Reporting Sev1/Sev2 outages to the RPM team: The RPM team receives reports from an ESC analyst or via the RPM team’s Key Customer line.


  

	 	3.1.	A “Key Customer” is one that has been given permission to report high severity incidents directly into the RPM team via the Key Customer line. This
process enables a system matter expert representing a large Embarq community to identify and report major service disruptions directly to the RPM team increasing the accuracy of the incident report and significantly reducing the reporting time and
the RPM team’s call volume. 

  

	 	3.2.	In all cases, to resolve an issue quickly the RPM team needs a detailed description of the major service outage from the reporter, a valid 24X7 Embarq contact
and an understanding of the impact to the business. Incidents are evaluated for severity assignment based upon the availability of a work-around, legal/regulatory/financial impact and impact to critical applications or sites and business operations.
(See severity determination below.) 

  

	 	3.3.	When an ESC analyst identifies a severity 1/severity 2 incident, data is gathered and a Service Center ticket is created. The ticket is documented and first level
trouble-shooting is performed. The identifier is then warm-transferred to the RPM team. The RPM team will ask any additional required questions and then will advise the identifier of how the incident will be pursued. 


 

	 	3.4.	For incident resolution the RPM team uses a process also called Rapid Problem Management or RPM. 


 

	 	3.4.1.	Some of the components of RPM are: 

  

	 	3.4.1.1.	Rapid Problem Management documents all product/service components and potential fix agencies.

 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED 

 


	 	3.4.1.2.	A Rapid Problem Management Team includes all primary fix agents on-call, key members of management and other stake-holders. 


 

	 	3.4.1.3.	All secondary fix agencies are documented and paged on an as needed basis. 


 

	 	3.4.1.4.	Conference bridges may be established and all necessary participants are paged to join. 


 

	 	3.4.1.5.	The user of the product/service is invited to join the bridge to assist with incident resolution and to relay information between the fix agents and their
peers/co-workers. 

  

	 	3.4.1.6.	The RPM team will send regular pages to pre-established contact lists to keep management and other stake-holders apprised of status. 


 

	4.	Rapid Problem Management Paging. Update pages are only sent between the hours of 07:00—19:00 Central time weekdays. 


 

	 	4.1.	Throughout the duration of a severity 1 outage the RPM will track and update the associated record using Service Center. The RPM team will also provide paging updates
to management and users at regular intervals as described below: 

  

	 	4.1.1.	Initial page—the initial page will be sent within 30 minutes of the initial report to RPM and will provide a ticket number, date, a brief description of the
problem, impact, status and what time the next update will be provided. 

  

	 	4.1.2.	Update page—the update page is sent every two hours until bypass is achieved, and will provide a ticket number, date, a brief description of the problem,
impact, an updated status and what time the next update will be provided. 

  

	 	4.1.3.	Restoral page—the restoral page will be sent as soon as Embarq verification is complete, and will provide a ticket number, date, brief description of the
problem, impact, status will be what action was taken for bypass and a restoral time. 

  

	5.	Problem Tracking: Every ticket opened by RPM is continually updated by the RPM team until bypass is reached. Once bypass is achieved the ticket is
assigned. From that point on the “owner” of root cause should continue to update the record until it is closed. This record includes key diagnostic information, actual work done, notification given, escalation requests, ticket transfers
and ICA/RCA. The Service Center ticketing system root cause module supports the ICA/RCA activities. 

  

	6.	Ticketing System Requirements: Currently there is one ticketing system used by the incident and problem management groups, which is known as Service
Center. Incidents and problems for all products or services supported by ESC and RPM are tracked through Service Center. Every production fix agency must have an assignee group name in Service Center. 


 

	7.	Severity Level Definitions: All incidents managed by Rapid Problem Management will have a severity level assigned indicating the impact to business operations.
The valid severity levels are defined below. 


  
 72 










 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED 

 


	 	7.1.	Severity 1 incidents are those which cause a critical impact to the business function and render the product/service unavailable/unusable. These incidents
justify immediate management attention and dedicated resources to resolve as quickly as possible. 

  

	 	7.2.	Severity 2 incidents are those that severely impair the use of a business critical product/service. Business impact justifies priority attention and
dedicated resources to solve the problem in a timely manner. 

  

	 	7.3.	Severity 3 incidents are those which result in minimal impact to the business function and customer. These incidents require timely resolution to minimize future
impacts. Resources should be allocated to work the incidents in accordance with normal managerial planning and prioritization processes. All severity 3 problems should be reported to the ESC. 


Definition of Terms: 
  

	 	7.4.	Fix Agency: A fix agency is the product/service owner, the group responsible for actually resolving the incident. Fix agents that support applications/services
that are managed by the RPM team have a 5 minute SLA to respond to the RPM team’s page. 

  

	 	7.5.	Problem Area Coordinator (PAC): A Problem Area Coordinator represents the fix agency in the coordination and administration of incident records. The PAC ensures
that personnel within their organization follow procedures for working incident records, and serves as a primary contact for the incident management process. The RPM team will not assign records to fix agencies without their prior knowledge and
consent. However, once the record is accepted it will be the responsibility of the PAC to resolve, document ICA/RCA, close or arrange a transfer to another agency if required. 


 

	 	7.6.	Knowledge Base: The Rapid Problem Management Team’s knowledge base is a repository for information about technology products and services used by Embarq
business units. It contains specific information about all the products and services we support. It identifies the owners and fix groups who support these products and services. Information collected during the planning phase is added to the
knowledge. As support plans change for a specific product or service, updated information must be provided to the RPM team. 

  

	 	7.7.	Incident Bypass: Bypass occurs when the outage documented in the incident record is over or when a temporary or alternate resolution, acceptable to the customer,
becomes available and service has been restored. 

  

	 	7.8.	Incident Closed: The incident is closed when service has been restored, root cause analysis (RCA) and irreversible corrective action (ICA) completed, and the
ticket has been updated. 

  

	 	7.9.	SME: Person who is an ‘Expert’ in the subject area of concern.
