Attachment 2 to the Amendment




SCHEDULE G

TO

SYNACOR MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT

DATA PRIVACY




     Charter Communications Operating, LLC (“Charter”) and Synacor, Inc. (“2nd
Party”) hereby agree to include this Schedule G as part of the Amendment to the Synacor Master
Service Agreement dated September 30, 2004 and as amended (the “Agreement”) in accordance with the
terms of this amendment (the “Amendment”) effective on this the __________day of __________, 2006 (the “Effective
Date”). To the extent any terms set forth in this Amendment conflict with those of the Agreement,
the terms of this Amendment shall control. Any capitalized terms not specifically defined herein,
shall have that meaning set forth for them in the Agreement.



1. CONFIDENTIALITY.





N.1 In connection with this Agreement, either party may furnish to the other certain
non-public information that is marked or otherwise specifically identified as proprietary or
confidential or which by its contents and the underlying circumstances, a reasonable person
would consider proprietary or confidential (“Confidential Information”). In addition, both
parties acknowledge that it and its personnel may have access to data, records and documents
pertaining to such Confidential Information. This Confidential Information may include, among
other things, the personally identifiable information of Charter customers (also referred to
as “Charter Customer Information”), private easements, licenses, utility agreements, permits,
other right-of-way granting documents, specifications, designs, business plans, schematics,
drawings, software, data, prototypes, or other business, marketing and/or technical
information. For purposes of this Section, the party that discloses Confidential Information
is referred to as the “Disclosing Party”, and the party that receives Information is referred
to as the “Receiving Party”.




N.2 When Confidential Information is furnished in tangible form or when Confidential
Information is provided orally, the Disclosing Party shall, at the time of disclosure or
promptly thereafter, identify the Confidential Information as being proprietary or
confidential. Notwithstanding, such identification is not necessary with respect to any
Charter Customer Information, which shall at all times be considered to be “Confidential
Information”.




N.3 With respect to Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement, the Receiving
Party and its employees shall:




N.3.1 secure and hold the Confidential Information in confidence, exercising a degree of
care not less than the care used by the Receiving Party to protect its own proprietary or
confidential information that it does not wish to disclose (but in no event shall such care
be less than that which is commercially reasonable), and specifically, the Receiving Party
shall maintain and secure any Confidential Information in electronic data format using
security measures that meet or exceed the IS01799 information security controls standard;




N.3.2 restrict disclosure of the Confidential Information solely to those of its employees
to whom further disclosure is necessary for Receiving Party to perform its obligations
under this Agreement, and not disclose the Confidential Information to any other person or
entity without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party which shall not be
unreasonably withheld;



2









 






N.3.3 advise and secure the agreement of those employees of their obligation to keep Confidential
Information confidential in accordance herewith;




N.3.4 use the Confidential Information only in connection with the performance of this
Agreement, except as the Disclosing Party may otherwise agree in writing; and




N.3.5 segregate all such Confidential Information from the confidential materials and information
of Service Provider or others to prevent commingling.


N.4 Confidential Information shall be deemed the property of the Disclosing Party during the term
of this Agreement and afterwards in perpetuity, subject only to the exceptions expressly stated
herein. Upon written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return all
Confidential Information received in tangible form, except that each party’s legal counsel may
retain one copy for its files solely to provide a record of such Confidential Information for
archival purposes.



N.5 Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any actual or
reasonably suspected compromise, unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information, or
any other breach of this Section, and will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in every reasonable
way to help the Disclosing Party regain possession of the Confidential Information and prevent any
further compromise, unauthorized use or disclosure.



N.6 Except to the extent of Client Customer Information for which the confidentiality obligations
shall remain intact unless otherwise required by court order, the Receiving Party shall have no
obligation to preserve the proprietary nature of Confidential Information that:





N.6.1 was previously known to the Receiving Party free of any obligation to keep it confidential;
or




N.6.2 is or becomes publicly available by means other than unauthorized or illegal disclosure; or




N.6.3 is developed by or on behalf of the Receiving Party independently of any Confidential
Information furnished under this Agreement; or




N.6.4 is received from a third party whose disclosure does not violate any confidentiality
obligation.


N.7 The terms of this Agreement, and all information that may be disclosed (whether identified as
such or not) to Receiving Party pertaining to the identities, locations, and requirements of the
Disclosing Party’s customers, is Confidential Information of Disclosing Party.



N.8 Under no circumstances shall either party disclose the other party’s customer Confidential
Information to any third party (even if under contract to that party) or to any personnel of the
party responsible for publicity or for end user sales or marketing.



N.9 If the Receiving Party is required to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information
by an order or a lawful process of a court or governmental body, the Receiving Party shall
promptly notify the Disclosing Party, and shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking
reasonable protective arrangements before the Confidential Information is produced.



N.9 Each party agrees that a breach of any of the terms of this “Confidentiality” Section by the
Receiving Party or its representatives will result in irreparable harm for which there is no
adequate remedy at law, and in the event of any such breach the Disclosing Party may seek a
preliminary or


3









 






permanent injunction and/or specific performance which shall be granted upon a finding of a breach
(or substantial likelihood of a breach in the case of a preliminary injunction). Such remedies
shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of the terms of this
“Confidentiality” Section, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in
equity.





N.10 Each party will keep this Agreement and its terms confidential and will make no press release
or public disclosure, either written or oral, regarding the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement without the prior consent of the other party hereto, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld; provided that the foregoing will not prohibit any disclosure that is
required by law or the rules of any stock exchange or other entity where a party’s securities are
traded.




N.11 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO CHARTER CUSTOMER INFORMATION. Any collection,
maintenance, disclosure or use of the personally identifiable information of Charter customers
shall be undertaken by 2nd Party (i) to the extent applicable, in accordance with the
subscriber information collecting business practices of Charter and in a manner that does not
violate or cause Charter to be in violation of Charter’s written customer privacy policy (which
practices and policies are described more fully at www.charter.com) and, in all cases,
(ii) in compliance with any applicable laws (domestic or foreign) governing the collection,
maintenance, transmission, dissemination, use and destruction thereof, including specifically the
subscriber privacy provisions of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended (47
U.S.C. § 551), and any and all other applicable laws or regulations, including, but not limited
to, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq., Cal. Penal Code § 637.5,
any state and/or federal security breach notification laws; and (iii) in compliance with the
Payment Card Industry Association Security Standards, to the extent the recipient has access to
any Charter customer’s payment card information.




2nd Party shall retain all customer information only for so long as is reasonably
necessary to complete the purposes for which the Charter Customer Information has been disclosed
to 2nd Party, unless otherwise specified by a mutual written agreement of the Parties.
Thereafter, 2nd Party shall, at Charter’s election, permanently destroy or return such
customer information to Charter with a certification signed by an officer of 2nd Party
that all such customer information has been destroyed or returned.




N.12 Upon reasonable request from Charter, 2nd Party shall provide access to, and the
right to inspect, all records relating to (i) the collection, processing, or transfers of data
relating to Charter Customer Information and (ii) the information security measures used by
2nd Party to secure Confidential Information, including without limitation, Charter’s
Customer Information. Unless otherwise agreed, any such inspection shall be at Charter’s expense
and shall occur only at the business offices of 2nd Party during normal business hours
and shall be conducted by a mutually acceptable third-party inspector and shall be subject to the
confidentiality obligations set forth in this Exhibit G. 2nd Party further agrees to
cooperate, at Charter’s expense, in any regulatory investigation or in any internal investigation
by Charter (and in responding to any inquiry by any Charter customer) relating to Charter Customer
Information. In the event of any such investigation or inquiry, upon notice to 2nd
Party, Charter may suspend any further transfers of customer information for so long as may be
necessary to obtain assurances that any additional transfers will not provide the basis for
further regulatory action or possible liabilities. Any such suspension will not relieve either
party for any liability arising from this Agreement or any other commercial agreements with
Charter.




N.13 Without limiting or otherwise abrogating 2nd Party’s other indemnity obligations
stated elsewhere in the Agreement, 2nd Party at its own expense shall indemnify and
hold Charter harmless from and against any and all third party damage, loss, expense, claims,
lawsuits, judgments and/or other liability (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and court
costs) arising



4









 







from the failure of 2nd Party, its agents, employees or contractors to comply with
any of the terms set forth in this “Confidentiality” Section; provided Charter provides
2nd Party with prompt written notice of such claim, reasonable cooperation and
joint control over the defense and settlement of such claim; provided that Charter shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to any settlement proposed by 2nd Party. Charter
shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in defending against any such claim
subject to the foregoing.




N.14 The provisions set forth in this Section, shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement.


2.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement,
2nd Party agrees that it shall have and maintain a business continuity plan under which
2nd Party shall proceed in the event of a disaster or other major event affecting its
business operations in order to continue its operations after such event, including without
limitation, compliance with its obligations under the Agreement.
