SEVENTY-NINTH AMENDMENT

TO THE

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CSG MASTER SUBSCRIBER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AGREEMENT

BETWEEN

csg SYSTEMS, INC.

AND

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING COMPANY, LLC

CSG and Customer entered into that certain Amended and Restated CSG Master Subscriber Management System Agreement dated February 9, 2009 (CSG document no. 2298875), as amended (the “Agreement”), and now desire to further amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.  If the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment shall be in conflict with the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall control.  Any terms in initial capital letters or all capital letters used as a defined term but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.  Upon execution of this Amendment by the Parties, any subsequent reference to the Agreement between the Parties shall mean the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

The revised fee table inadvertently excluded the WFX Penguin API fees that were added pursuant to that certain Fifty-fourth Amendment executed by the Parties to be effective as of October 13, 2014 (CSG document no. 2508210).  The Parties agree this was an oversight as this should have been included in the 59th Amendment and has been invoiced as though it was included in the 59th Amendment.

3.
