There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein.  Neither this Agreement nor the Partnership Agreement is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall have any liability to the Company or the Company Operating Partnership as a result of this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
6.9    Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner adverse to any party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
6.10    Further Assurances.  Each of the parties shall execute such documents and perform such further acts (including, without limitation, obtaining any consents, exemptions, authorizations, or other actions by, or giving any notices to, or making any filings with, any governmental authority or any other person) as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out or to perform the provisions of this Agreement.
6.11    Tax Treatment.  The parties agree that for federal income tax purposes, the Buyer shall be deemed an owner of Merger Sub immediately upon its funding of the Purchase Price immediately prior to the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the subsequent Conversion shall not have any federal income tax impact on the Buyer or the Seller.

	REIT Compliance

		
	3.3.1
	The Partners acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, certain direct or indirect owners of the NRF Partner and the NHI Partner are qualified or intend to qualify as a real estate investment trust as defined in Section 856 of the Code (a “REIT”) and that the activities and assets of the Partnership will affect the ability of certain direct or indirect owners of the NRF Partner and the NHI Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT.  Accordingly, the Designated Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to manage and operate the Partnership and its subsidiaries such that the nature of its assets and gross revenues (as determined pursuant to Section 856(c)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code) would permit the Partnership to qualify as a REIT and to avoid any “net income from prohibited transactions” under Section 857(b)(6) of the Code (determined as if the Partnership were a REIT but without regard to Sections 856(c)(6) and (7) of the Code).  The Designated Partner shall take or refrain from taking, as the case may be, such actions as are reasonably requested by the NRF Partner or the NHI Partner to protect the status of the direct or indirect owners of the NRF Partner or the NHI Partner as a REIT. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Designated Partner shall not (a) invest any excess funds in any investment that would not be treated as cash, cash items, or government securities for purposes of Section 856(c) of the Code; (b) enter into any lease with any person that will result in a rental payment to the lessor that is dependent in whole or in part on (y) the net income or profits of any lessee or sublessee or (z) the lessee’s or sublessee’s receipts or sales in excess of determinable dollar amounts; (c) enter into any lease for any property or any portion thereof pursuant to which any rents attributable to personal property constitute more than 15% of the aggregate rents received in connection with such lease within the meaning of Section 856(d)(1)(C) of the Code; (d) enter into any lease, contract, agreement, or other arrangement with any person pursuant to 

9

which the Partnership provides to a tenant of a property services other than those usually or customarily rendered in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.512(b)-1(c)(5); or (e) engage in a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code.  The Designated Member shall, upon request by the NRF Partner or the NHI Partner, cause any subsidiary of the Partnership that is classified as a corporation for federal tax purposes to join with any direct or indirect owners of the NRF Partner and the NHI Partner that are qualified or intend to qualify as a REIT in an election to be treated as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” of such REIT. 
		
	3.3.2
	If there shall be an amendment or modification to the Code or other relevant rules after the date of this Agreement that adversely impacts any direct or indirect owners, of the NRF Partner and the NHI Partner qualification as a REIT as a result of the activities of the Partnership or any Partner’s ownership of an interest in the Partnership, the Designated Partner shall cooperate reasonably with the NRF Partner and the NHI Partner and shall exercise reasonable efforts to effectuate solutions or “workarounds” to address any REIT qualification concerns under the Code of the direct or indirect owners of the NRF Partner and the NHI Partner.

		
	3.3.3
	The Designated Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all information reasonably requested by the NRF Partner and the NHI Partner related to the business and operation of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, including such information as the NRF Partner and the NHI Partner may request in order to determine its (or its direct or indirect owners) qualification as a REIT.  

		
	4.
	TERM

The Partners intend that the Partnership constitute a partnership for a definite term in accordance with Section 15-101(14) of the Act, and the Partners hereby agree to remain Partners until the expiration of the term set forth in the next sentence of this Section 4.  The term of the Partnership commenced upon the date of this Agreement as set forth above and shall continue until dissolved as provided herein or by law.  The Partnership shall be a separate legal entity distinct from the Partners.
		
	5.
	CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

		
	5.1
	Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, immediately prior to the closing of the Mergers, NHI transferred to NRF $100,000,000 which was directly or indirectly used by NRF to pay a portion of the total consideration payable to the former stockholders of Griffin-American and the former unaffiliated limited partners of 

10

Company Operating Partnership in the Mergers and pro rata transaction costs associated with the Mergers and which transfer by NHI shall be deemed a contribution to Merger Sub at all times prior to the Conversion.  Upon the Conversion of Merger Sub into the Partnership and the execution of this Agreement, the Partners’ respective equity contributions in connection with the Mergers (including payment of a pro rata portion of transaction costs) shall be deemed capital contributions to the Partnership and the Partners’ initial capital accounts and Percentage Interests shall be as set forth on Schedule A.
		
	5.2
	If the Designated Partner determines at any time in its reasonable discretion that additional capital contributions are necessary or desirable for the operation of the Partnership, including, without limitation, operating expenses, capital expenditures, development, repairs, replacements and contingent liabilities with respect to any of the Partnership’s assets, then the Partners shall contribute upon five days’ notice such additional capital to the Partnership on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Percentage Interests up to an aggregate amount not to exceed 10% of each Partner’s initial capital contribution (such amount, the “Contribution Cap”), and, upon such contributions and any other contributions contemplated by this Agreement, the Designated Partner shall update Schedule A accordingly.  If the Designated Partner makes additional capital calls up to the Contribution Cap, and any Partner fails to contribute its respective pro rata portion (based on the Partners’ respective initial capital contributions) of any such calls for additional capital contribution and the other Partner makes the additional capital contribution the defaulting Partner failed to make, the Capital Account of the Partner that has contributed greater than a pro rata share with respect to such additional capital contribution shall be credited with (a) an amount equal to the amount of its pro rata portion of such additional capital contribution and (b) the amount of the excess of its pro rata portion (based on the Partners’ respective initial capital contributions) of such additional capital contribution multiplied by 1.5, and the Designated Partner shall update Schedule A accordingly. 

		
	5.3
	If the Designated Partner determines at any time in its reasonable discretion that additional capital contributions are necessary or desirable for the operation of the Partnership, including, without limitation, operating expenses, capital expenditures, development, repairs, replacements and contingent liabilities with respect to any of the Partnership’s assets in excess of the Contribution Cap, the Partners shall have the right but not the obligation to fund such additional capital calls on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.  If the Designated Partner determines to make additional capital calls in excess of the Contribution Cap, and any Partner elects not to contribute its respective pro rata portion, the Partnership shall treat the contribution as a preferred equity contribution accruing preferred distributions on such contributed amount at the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the date contributed to the Partnership plus 5%.  Any such preferred equity contribution shall be repaid by the Company in accordance with Section 6 hereof before the Company makes any distributions to the Partners thereafter in 

11

respect of the Partners’ other capital contributions.
		
	6.
	DISTRIBUTIONS

		
	6.1
	Distributions of cash available from investments and operations of the Partnership, after providing for all costs, expenses or charges paid or payable by the Partnership or advanced by the Designated Partner, shall be made among the Partners, as directed by the Designated Partner, in the following order and priority:

6.1.1    To any Partner that has made preferred equity contributions pursuant to Section 5.3 until such Partner has received pursuant to this Section 6.1.1 cumulative distributions equal to all accrued preferred distributions with respect to such preferred equity contributions and the amount of such preferred equity contributions; and 
6.1.2   On a pro rata basis based on the Percentage Interests set forth on Schedule A as updated to reflect capital contributions after the date hereof.
		
	6.2
	The parties hereto agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, distributions pursuant to this Section 6 shall be made to the Partners as provided above no less than once per calendar year.

		
	7.
	CAPTIAL ACCOUNTS; PROFIT AND LOSS

		
	7.1
	An individual Capital Account shall be maintained for each Partner in accordance with Section 704 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.  Each Partner’s Capital Account balance shall initially equal the amount contributed by such Partner as set forth on Schedule A.  The amount of the Capital Account of each Partner shall be increased or decreased on an ongoing and current basis by dollar amounts equal to:

		
	7.1.1
	(i) the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any property contributed by the Partner to the Partnership (net of liabilities secured by the property or which the property is subject that such Partner is considered to assume or take pursuant to Section 752 of the Code), (ii) such Partner’s share of Profits and income and gain allocated pursuant to Section 7.5 and (iii) the amount of any Partnership liabilities assumed by such Partner; or

		
	7.1.2
	(i) the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any property distributed to such Partner (net of liabilities secured by the property or which the property is subject that such Partner is considered to assume or take pursuant to Section 752 of the Code) and (ii) such Partner’s share of Losses and expenses and losses allocated pursuant to Section 7.5.

12

		
	7.2
	Except as otherwise required by Section 704(c) of the Code, or the corresponding provisions of any future federal internal revenue law, or any similar tax law of any state or jurisdiction, with respect to any property contributed to the Partnership by a Partner, the determination of each Partner’s distributive share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit, or allowance of the Partnership for any period or year shall be made in accordance with, and in proportion to, the manner in which such amounts are credited or charged to the Capital Accounts of the Partners.

		
	7.3
	Any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit with respect to property other than money contributed by a Partner to its Capital Account and which is required to be allocated among the Partners for income tax purposes pursuant to § 704(c) of the Code shall be allocated in the manner required by § 704(c) and the regulations thereunder so as to take into account the difference between the adjusted basis of such property and its fair market value at the time of contribution.

		
	7.4
	Subject to the Regulatory Allocations set forth in Section 7.5, Profits and Losses for each fiscal  year of the Partnership, and each item thereof, shall be credited or charged, as the case may be, to the Capital Accounts of the Partners so that, to the maximum extent possible, the Capital Account balance of each Partner at the end of such fiscal year shall equal the excess (which may be negative) of (A) the amount that would be distributed to such Partner pursuant to Section 16.5 hereof if the Partnership were to sell its assets on the last day of such fiscal year for their Gross Asset Value, all remaining Partnership obligations were settled in cash in accordance with their terms, and the remaining net proceeds were distributed  pursuant to such Section over (B) such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain .  

		
	7.5
	Regulatory Allocations.  The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

		
	7.5.1
	Minimum Gain Chargeback. Subject to the exceptions set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain  during a fiscal year of the Partnership, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during such fiscal year (which share of such net decrease shall be determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2)). It is intended that this Section 7.5.1 shall constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” as provided by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

		
	7.5.2
	Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Subject to the exceptions contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain  during a fiscal year of the Partnership, any Partner with a share of such 

13

Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of such fiscal year shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (which share of such net decrease shall be determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)). It is intended that this Section 7.5.2 shall constitute a “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” as provided by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
		
	7.5.3
	Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) (modified as appropriate, by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5)), items of Partnership income and gain for such fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.5.3 shall be made if and only to the extent that the Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations have been tentatively made as if this Section 7.5.3 were not contained herein.

		
	7.5.4
	Gross Income Allocations. To the extent required by applicable Treasury Regulations, in the event a Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any fiscal year of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, if any, and (B) the amount such Partner is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.5.4 shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations have been tentatively made as if this Section 7.5.4 were not contained herein.

		
	7.5.5
	Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Partners in the same manner as Losses are allocated pursuant to Section 7.4 of this Agreement.

14

		
	7.5.6
	Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such deductions relate as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1). If more than one Partner bears the economic risk of loss, such deduction shall be allocated between or among such Partners in accordance with the ratios in which such Partners share such economic risk of loss.

		
	7.5.7
	Certain Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent any adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 732(d), Section 734(b) or Section 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of its interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases such basis) and an item of loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with their interests in the Partnership as determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3) in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partner to whom such distribution was made in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

		
	7.5.8
	Limit on Loss Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.4 of this Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Losses (or items thereof) shall not be allocated to a Partner if such allocation would cause or increase a Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit and shall be reallocated to the other Partners in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances, subject to the limitations of this Section 7.5.8.

		
	7.5.9
	Curative Allocations. The allocations under this Section 7.5 are intended to comply with certain requirements of applicable Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Agreement. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Partnership shall make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner the Partnership determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not 

15

part of the Agreement and all items were allocated pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Agreement. For purposes of this Section 7.5.9, future Regulatory Allocations hereunder that are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made shall be taken into account.
		
	8.

	15.2
	Right of First Offer.  In the event that NHI Partner desires to sell or otherwise Transfer all or a portion of NHI Partner’s interest in the Partnership (the “Offered Interest”),  NHI Partner shall submit in good faith to NRF Partner a written notice (the “Offer Notice”), which shall include (i) the proposed sale price for the Offered Interest, (ii) all details of the payment terms and all other material terms and conditions, including the nature of the representations and warranties to be made and the indemnities to be given, in connection with the proposed sale of the Offered Interest, and (iii) clear instructions regarding acceptance of the Offer Notice.

If the Offered Interest is not transferred during such 90-day period, it shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 15.2 in connection with any Transfer.  

		
	15.3
	Drag-along Rights.  If NRF Partner receives a bona fide offer from an Independent Third Party to consummate, in a transaction or series of related transactions, a Change of Control (a “Drag-along Sale”), NRF Partner shall have the right to require that NHI Partner participate in such Transfer on the same terms and conditions offered to NRF Partner; provided, however, that NHI Partner shall not be required to Transfer any of its interest herein if the consideration for the Drag-along Sale is other than cash or registered securities listed on an established U.S. securities exchange.

	NRF Partner shall exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 15.3 by delivering a written notice (the “Drag-along Notice”) to NHI Partner (with a copy to the Partnership), as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event more than ten days after the execution and delivery by all the parties thereto of the definitive agreement entered into with respect to the Drag-along Sale or later than 30 days prior to the closing date of the Drag-along Sale.

	15.3.3
	NHI Partner shall sell in the Drag-along Sale the percentage of its Percentage Interest equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Percentage Interest held by NHI Partner by (ii) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the Percentage Interest NRF Partner proposes to Transfer in the Drag-along Sale and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the Percentage Interest held by NRF Partner at such time.  

		
	15.4
	Tag-along Rights.  If NRF Partner receives a bona fide offer from an Independent Third Party to consummate, in a transaction or series of related transactions, a Change of Control and desires to accept such offer, and has not elected to exercise its drag-along rights set forth in Section 15.3, or if NRF Partner proposes to sell the majority of its Percentage Interest herein (either, a “Tag-along Sale”), NHI Partner shall be permitted to participate in such Transfer on the same terms and conditions offered to NRF Partner.   

		
	15.4.1
	Prior to the consummation of a Tag-along Sale, NRF Partner shall deliver written notice (a “Tag-along Notice”) to NHI Partner (with a copy to the Partnership), as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event more than ten days after the execution and delivery by all the parties thereto of any definitive agreement entered into with respect to 

21

the Tag-along Sale or later than 30 days prior to the closing date of the Tag-along Sale.

	NHI Partner shall exercise its right to participate in a Tag-along Sale by delivering to NRF Partner written notice stating its election to do so and specifying the amount of the interest to be sold by it no later than ten days after receipt of the Tag-along Notice. Except as set forth in this Section 15.4.2, any acceptance of NHI Partner set forth in such notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, NHI Partner shall be bound and obligated to sell in the proposed Tag-along Sale on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-along Notice. NHI Partner shall not be irrevocably bound and obligated to sell in the proposed Tag-Along Sale, if the Tag-Along Sale is not effectuated within a reasonable time period following delivery of the Tag-along Notice, which in no event shall be more than 180 days. 

		
	15.4.3
	NHI Partner shall have the right to sell in a Tag-along Sale the percentage of its Percentage Interest equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Percentage Interest held by NHI Partner by (ii) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the Percentage Interest NRF Partner proposes to Transfer in the Tag-along Sale and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the Percentage Interest held by NRF Partner at such time.

		
	15.4.4
	NRF Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in the proposed Tag-along Sale all of the interest herein that NHI Partner has requested to have included, it being understood that the proposed transferee shall not be required to purchase interests herein in excess of the amount set forth in the Tag-along Notice. In the event the proposed transferee elects to purchase less than all of the interests herein sought to be sold by NHI Partner, the amount of the interests herein to 

22

be sold to the proposed transferee by NRF Partner and NHI Partner shall be reduced so that each such Partner is entitled to sell its pro rata portion of the interests herein the proposed transferee elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the amount of the interest herein set forth in the Tag-along Notice).
		
	15.4.5
	If NHI Partner does not deliver a notice to NRF Partner within ten days of receipt of the Tag-along Notice of its intent to participate in the Tag-along Sale, it shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights to participate in such Tag-along Sale, and NRF Partner shall thereafter be free to consummate the Change of Control or Transfer its interest herein to the proposed transferee at a price and on terms and conditions substantially similar as set forth in the Tag-along Notice and on such other terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to NRF Partner than those set forth in the Tag-along Notice, without any further obligation to NHI Partner.

		
	15.5
	If either (x) NRF Partner exercised its drag-along rights pursuant to Section 15.3 or (y) NHI Partner exercises its tag-along rights pursuant to Section 15.4, the following provisions shall be applicable:

		
	15.5.1
	All representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by NRF Partner and NHI Partner severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation shall be pro rata based on the consideration received by NRF Partner and NHI Partner, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by NRF Partner and NHI Partner in connection with the Transfer; and provided, further, that NHI Partner shall not be required to agree to a non-competition covenant.  

		
	15.5.2
	The NHI Partner shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Transfer, including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case, consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by NRF Partner.

		
	15.5.3
	NRF Partner shall have 120 days following the delivery of the relevant notice to NHI Partner in which to sell the interest described in such notice, on terms substantially similar to those set forth in such notice (which such 120 day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed 180 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any regulatory approvals). If at the end of such period, NRF Partner has not completed such Transfer, NRF Partner may not then effect a Transfer subject to Section 15.3 or 15.4 without again fully complying with the provisions thereof.

23

		
	15.6
	If either Partner Transfers its interests herein to a transferee as permitted by this Section 15, such transferee shall enter into a joinder agreement or amendment to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Partners, providing that such transferee shall succeed and be subject to the rights and obligations of the transferor under this Agreement.  A transferee shall be admitted as a Partner of the Partnership upon its execution of a joinder agreement.  If a Partner transfers all of its interests in the Partnership pursuant to this Section 15, such transfer shall be deemed effective immediately prior to such admission and immediately following such admission the transferor Partner shall cease to be a Partner of the Partnership.  

		
	15.7
	No Partner shall make a transfer of all or any part of its interests herein or any direct or indirect ownership interest in it that would result in the violation by it or the Partnership of (i) the Securities Act, or any other applicable securities laws, (ii) any loan documents applicable to the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) the limited partnership agreement of Company Operating Partnership, or (iv) any legal requirements applicable to the Partnership or Company Operating Partnership.

	Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners.  No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs.  All remaining Partner(s) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and the Partnership’s assets, and such assets shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

		
	(a)
	first, to the payment and discharge of all the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than Partners;

The rights to indemnification and advance of expenses provided hereby shall have vested immediately upon election of a Director or officer.  No amendment to this Agreement or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate the right of indemnification provided hereunder with respect to acts or omissions prior to such amendment or repeal.

Schedule K shall be amended to include such TWC Company’s sites.

(d)Where migration from a different print/mail vendor or a different contract will occur in connection with any Products and/or Services purchased by a Client hereunder (a “Migration to CSG”), CSG and Client shall enter into a Statement of Work pursuant to which CSG shall provide the following Services (collectively, “Migration Services”): 

 

(i) programming and implementation of the Client’s proprietary bill statement design provided by the Client to CSG; 

(ii) programming and implementation necessary in order for CSG to process, print and mail all hard copy bill statements;  

(iii) programming and implementation of the PDF Presentment Services and support to third party Electronic Billing Systems, Third Party Systems and Other Mediums in accordance with this Agreement and SOWs; and 

(iv) any other activities, including letters, that are mutually agreed upon in connection with the Migration to CSG. 

 

Where a Migration to CSG involves the Migration Services described in paragraphs (d)(i) or (d)(ii) above, then unless otherwise agreed by such Client in writing, CSG may not charge any fees or expenses for such Migration Services, except for any reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses that are mutually agreed upon in writing in a Statement of Work for such Migration Services (“Migration SOW”).  Where a Migration to CSG involves the Migration Services described in paragraphs (d)(iii) or (d)(iv) above, then, subject to mutual agreement of the parties, CSG may charge fees and expenses for such Migration Services, including any reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses, that are mutually agreed upon in writing in the Migration SOW, computed on the basis of the Technical Services fees.  Migration Services shall be deemed to be complete when the services set forth in each Migration SOW are accepted by Client(s), except that the Migration SOW for Customer billing statements will be deemed complete once CSG has printed and mailed the first live Customer billing statement for each bill cycle to be migrated.  After completion of each Migration SOW, the Client shall have a period of ***** (**) days to identify and communicate to CSG any problems identified by the Client in connection with the printing and mailing of such billing statements or services under such Migration SOW, provided that such problems arise from CSG’s failure to meet the requirements of the Migration SOW.  CSG agrees to correct any such problems at ** ****** to the Client.

(f)During the Term, each Client hereunder shall use CSG as its sole and exclusive provider of services for the printing and mailing, through the United States Postal Service (“USPS”), of its Customers’ monthly bill statements solely to the extent described on Exhibit H; provided, however, that such obligation shall not apply with respect to any cable system or business unit (i) that will undertake a Migration to CSG until the Migration to CSG is completed; or (ii) acquired by a Client and within the scope described on Exhibit H for the term (which shall not include any optional renewals) of any existing agreement with a different print and mail vendor or a different contract with CSG applicable to such cable system or business unit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall such obligation be deemed to apply to the generation or viewing of images of Customer bill statements or to electronic presentment or payment of Customer bill statements (collectively, “Electronic Billing”).  CSG understands and agrees that Clients may purchase or receive services from third parties, and license or receive products from third parties, that are similar to the Services and Products with respect to (i) any part of its business that is not expressly included within the scope of exclusivity described on Exhibit H; and (2) Electronic Billing.    Without limiting the Products and/or Services that may fall within the term “Electronic Billing” hereunder in the future, the parties agree that, as of the Commencement Date, the Services provided under this Agreement that fall within the term “Electronic Billing” are as follows:  PDF Presentment Services, Statement Express, Statement Express API, Exact View and Exact View API.  With respect to any Client that is subject to the exclusivity obligations described in the first sentence of this Section 3(f), CSG acknowledges and agrees that it is not a violation of such exclusivity obligations if such Client sells, transfers or otherwise divests any cable system(s) or business unit(s) receiving Products and/or Services under this Agreement (whether such transaction takes the form of a conveyance of assets or equity, merger, consolidation or other business reorganization).  For purposes of the preceding sentence, “divest” shall mean a sale or transfer to an entity that is not a TWC Company.

(g)Subject to each Client’s compliance with any applicable exclusivity obligations it may have under Section 3(f) above, any Client may, by notice to CSG from time to time, add or remove cable systems or business units, as applicable, with respect to which it will receive Services and Products hereunder.  

(h)A Client may modify specifications for a particular Service by furnishing revised specifications in writing to CSG, which completely replace the previous specifications.  If such a modification would result in significant out-of-pocket 

 

costs for CSG to perform the required Service, as so modified by such Client, then (i) CSG shall promptly notify Client of such increased costs and shall set forth in writing and in reasonable detail the basis for calculating any such increase in cost, and (ii) CSG and such Client shall negotiate in good faith to determine a reasonable price increase for the performance of such Service pursuant to such modified specification.  If CSG and such Client cannot reach mutual agreement on the price relating to such modification, then CSG shall not proceed with performance of such Service pursuant to such modified specification.

4.Support Services.

CSG shall provide each Client with technical support and maintenance of the Products and Services as described on Exhibit G hereto (“Support Services”).  In the event that CSG and the applicable Client disagree about the appropriate severity level classification of the reported problem, then the ************** ** *** ******* **** ** ****** ***** ******.  

5.Service Level Agreement.  

CSG shall provide the Products and Services in accordance with the service levels described in Exhibit I. 

6.Invoicing and Payment; Audit Rights.  

(a)All Clients shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the applicable fee rate pursuant to the Pricing Schedule (where any such fees fluctuate based on volume); but once such rate(s) have been determined, CSG shall invoice each Client separately for the fees relating solely to Products and Services provided to such Client in accordance with the applicable Client’s invoicing instructions (for example, invoicing address and separate invoices relating to residential vs. business Customers).  Invoices will be rendered monthly by CSG to each Client and payment for all invoiced amounts (other than any amount disputed by a Client in good faith) shall be due net ********** (**) **** from the date of the invoice.  With respect to disputed amounts, once the billing dispute is resolved, payment shall be made by the applicable Client within *** (**) **** following such resolution.  All payments shall be sent to the address of CSG set forth on the applicable invoice. 

(b)During the Term, the Termination Assistance Period and for one year thereafter, (i) CSG shall maintain complete and accurate books and records to substantiate CSG’s charges invoiced hereunder, and (ii) TWC (or an independent third party on behalf of TWC) shall have the right to inspect, copy, verify and audit such books and records at any time upon *** (*) ***** prior written notice in order to verify that CSG’s charges to Clients under this Agreement are in accordance with this Agreement.  Any information provided to TWC or its designated third party under this Section, and any information derived from, and the process of, such review shall constitute CSG’s Confidential Information and shall be subject to the terms of Section 9.  Any overcharge of a Client discovered in connection with an audit of CSG by TWC shall be ******** to the applicable Clients within ****** (**) **** of the completion of such audit.  If such an audit uncovers an overcharge of Clients exceeding **** ******* (**) for the audit period, then *** shall promptly ********* *** for all ********** ******** ******** in the conduct of such audit.  TWC may perform such audit only during CSG’s normal business hours and may not unreasonably disrupt CSG’s business operations.  CSG, and its employees, agents and representatives, will cooperate with TWC’s reasonable requests that are within the scope of the audit permitted above.

7.Taxes.  All applicable taxes, fees, levies, imposts, duties, withholding or other taxes, exclusive of those relating to CSG’s net income (including any interest and penalty thereon) arising from the provision of the Services to a Client are to be paid by such Client.  Each Client will indemnify and hold harmless CSG from and against any liability arising out of a third party claim for such taxes, fees, levies, imposts, duties, withholding or other taxes, exclusive of those relating to CSG’s net income (including any interest and penalty thereon) arising from the provision of the Services to such Client.  CSG and such Client shall comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 15.

8.Account Management.  CSG agrees to maintain dedicated account management for Clients and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the turnover of Clients’ account managers.   At no charge, CSG will hold twice-yearly on site (as requested) statement summits with Clients to review project metrics and conduct planning and prioritization of upcoming initiatives.  The purpose of these meetings shall be to maintain open lines of communications between Clients and CSG as well as to share technical information between Clients.  CSG shall facilitate conference calls at Client request (collectively, “User Group Meetings”) in order to discuss topics of relevance to Clients and solicit Clients’ input in order to 

 

improve CSG’s level of service provided to Clients including, without limitation, bill design and redesign issues, successful database driven upsell/advertising campaigns on bill statements, future intelligent messaging campaigns, retention strategies, use of planet codes, use of imaging solutions, other marketing, customer service, information technology, and billing and finance issues of Clients.  All User Group meetings shall be hosted by CSG at CSG’s sole expense.  

9.Confidential Information.  

(a)Clients, on the one hand, and CSG, on the other hand, will treat as confidential all of the following information received by such party hereunder (the “Receiving Party”) that is provided by the other party hereto (the “Disclosing Party”): any information or data that is (i) fixed in a tangible medium (including any electronic 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 (ii) 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.  In addition, CSG acknowledges that all information and data relating to the residential or commercial Customers of a Client, in whatever form provided, shall constitute Confidential Information of such Client.  Further, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall constitute Confidential Information of each party hereto.  The Receiving Party will make the same effort to safeguard the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as it does in protecting its own proprietary data but in no event less than reasonable care.  All data and other information provided to CSG by a Client shall remain the exclusive property of such Client.  The Receiving Party will not disclose or make available the Confidential Information supplied by the Disclosing Party to anyone other than its employees agents, or third party contractors who have a need to know the information for purposes of conducting the Receiving Party’s business, or provision or consumption of Products or Services and who agree to comply with  restrictions with respect to the Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than the use and nondisclosure obligations (and, in the case of Personal Information, the privacy and data security obligations) of this Agreement that are applicable to such Confidential Information.  Unless use and access of Confidential Information is at the request and direction of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall be responsible under this Agreement, as though it were the Receiving Party’s act or omission, for any violation of the provisions of this Section 9 that is caused by the acts or omissions of any third party to which it has disclosed any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Each party shall notify all employees, third party contractors and agents who have access to Confidential Information or to whom disclosure is made that the Confidential Information is the confidential, proprietary property of the Disclosing Party and shall instruct such employees, agents and third party contractors to maintain the Confidential Information in strict confidence.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 9(a) and Section 10, the provisions of Section 10 shall control and prevail.  The Receiving Party shall use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement and, in the case of TWC as the Receiving Party also for the purpose of using the Products and Services.   

(b)The Receiving Party shall be relieved of the obligations of Section 9(a) with respect to information it can establish through credible evidence:  (i) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or has become in the public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, at the time of disclosure as shown by the files of the Receiving Party in existence at the time of disclosure; (iii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use of the Disclosing Party’s confidential information and by employees or other agents of the Receiving Party who have not had access to any of the Disclosing Party’s confidential information; or (iv) became known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, from a source other than the Disclosing Party (which source was not bound by confidentiality restrictions) without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party and otherwise not in violation of the Disclosing Party's rights.  In furtherance of CSG’s obligations hereunder and without limiting the foregoing, CSG agrees that, with respect to any materials that contain personally identifiable information of a Client’s Customers that CSG discards or disposes of under this Agreement, CSG shall properly shred any such materials in order to avoid a disclosure of such Confidential Information of such Client.

(c)If the Receiving Party is required by any law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority or by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information to such governmental authority or court to the extent so required, provided, that, the Receiving Party shall: (i) give reasonable notice to the Disclosing Party in advance of such disclosure; (ii) seek confidential treatment of such information from the entity to which the disclosure is made; and (iii) limit disclosure of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to that required to be disclosed.

 

(d)Upon the termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement for any reason or upon the reasonable request of the Disclosing Party, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, together with any copies thereof, shall be returned to the Disclosing Party or, if requested by the Disclosing Party, destroyed, in which case the Receiving Party shall certify that such destruction has occurred.

(e)Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other would be irreparably harmed if any of the Confidential Information were to be disclosed to third parties, or if any use were to be made of the Confidential Information other than that permitted herein, and further agrees that the other shall have the right to seek and obtain injunctive relief upon any violation of the terms of this Section, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

(f)The Receiving Party shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify the Disclosing Party and the Disclosing Party’s owners, parent company, partners, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, officers, directors, managers, or employees (collectively, the “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 against the Disclosing Party as a result of the Receiving Party’s breach of its obligations under this Section 9.  The affected parties shall comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 15.

Privacy and Data Security Obligations.  

(a)For purposes of this Agreement:

 

“Personal Information” means any information or data that identifies an individual or from which an individual may be identified that is provided or made available to CSG by Clients, and accessed, received, controlled, stored, processed, transmitted, maintained, or possessed by CSG, in connection with the provision of Products and/or Services under this Agreement for or on behalf of Clients, including, without limitation, an individual’s name, address, telephone number, driver’s license, identification card or passport numbers, personal identification codes or numbers, electronic mail names or addresses, account numbers,  and other similar information, however described, as defined under applicable law.  

(b)In connection with its performance of the Services hereunder, and in addition to any other of its obligations set forth herein, CSG: (1) acknowledges that CSG is responsible for the privacy and security of the Personal Information that CSG, at any time, accesses, stores, processes, transmits, or otherwise possesses, for such time as the Personal Information remains in CSG’s or its Permitted Subcontractors’ (as defined in Section 10(k) below) possession or control; and (2) shall comply with and adhere to all applicable laws, in each case as such may be amended, modified, supplemented, or replaced from time to time (“Security Requirements”).

(c)Subject to Section 10(f) below, if requested by TWC, CSG shall, not more than once per year, provide TWC with such evidence, information, and documentation as is reasonably necessary to demonstrate and confirm CSG’s compliance with the Security Requirements and the requirements of this Section 10.

(d)In connection with the Services provided by CSG under this Agreement, Clients may provide to CSG and CSG may access certain Personal Information (orally, in writing, or in any other form or media) relating to Customers, potential Customers, employees, or independent contractors of Clients or TWC Companies.  CSG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality and security of the Personal Information. CSG acknowledges and agrees that the Personal Information is, as between CSG and Clients, the sole property of the applicable Client, and shall be considered Proprietary Information hereunder. CSG shall use Personal Information for the purpose of providing Services pursuant to this Agreement and for other purposes that are expressly agreed upon between CSG and Clients.  CSG shall not use Personal Information for the purpose of soliciting, or to permit any others to solicit, individuals to subscribe to any other services or promote the sale of any product.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 10, CSG shall not, under any circumstances directly or indirectly reveal Personal Information to any third party, for any reason without the prior written consent of the applicable Client, which such Client may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.      

(e)CSG represents, warrants, and covenants to Clients that CSG has developed and implemented, currently has in place, and shall maintain during the Term of this Agreement and the Termination Assistance Period an information security program that is at least industry standard and  that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and 

 

controls sufficient to: (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of Personal Information; (ii) protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information;  and (iii) protect against unauthorized access to, or disclosure or use of, Personal Information that CSG accesses, receives, stores, processes, transmits, maintains, or possesses (collectively, “Security”).  CSG shall document its Security and all safeguards, procedures, and controls and update them as necessary to comply with applicable laws.  Such Security shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

(1)CSG has developed and implemented and shall maintain appropriate security measures regarding physical and electronic access to Personal Information, which measures shall be materially based upon ******* or equivalent industry standards and best practices applicable to Products and Services provided by CSG and shall include, without limitation: (A) physical access controls and access controls on information systems, including secure user authentication protocols, secure access control methods, firewall protection, and malware protection, (B) encryption of electronic information, including in transit and in storage on systems or networks, in each case where appropriate or required by applicable laws, which may include Massachusetts M.G.L. c. 93H and 201 CMR §§ 17.00-17.05; (C) employee background checks for any new employees, contractors or agents with responsibilities for or access to Personal Information for purposes of providing the Services;  (D) training to implement the information security measures; and (E) industry standard measures to protect against destruction, loss or damage to Personal Information. 

(2)Only those CSG employees, contractors or agents who are necessary in CSG’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, may have access to the Personal Information (whether physically or through computer system access) and such access shall solely be on a “need to know” basis.  To the extent Personal Information is stored electronically in connection with this Agreement on any information processing system, such system will have industry standard password control access.  In furtherance, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, CSG shall comply with all rules, regulations, and requirements governing access to Clients’ systems and facilities.    

(3)CSG shall employ **********, **********, and ******** ********** to ensure internal compliance with the requirements and safeguards set forth in this Section 10(e) the (“Security Safeguards”) and shall conduct a complete assessment of the Security Safeguards at least ********.  Subject to Section 10(f) below, CSG shall, upon request from TWC, provide a report on the results of this assessment.  

(4)If requested by TWC, CSG shall, at least **** **** ******** **** at ** ******* **** ****** ***** ******** from the previous audit (such interval, the “Audit Period”), (i) provide TWC with a copy of its most recent SOC 1 report and, to the extent CSG has obtained the same, a copy of CSG’s most recent SOC 2 Type 2 audit, report, attestation and opinion, and (ii) at ***’* *******, allow TWC ******, for the purpose of evaluating CSG’s ******** *** ******* ****** and ********* ************* ** ********, to CSG’s *****, **********, ******* (including **************, ********, ******, **********, and ****), and ****** ********** through or from which the Services are provided, including those of all of CSG’s ************** and ********** ************* (if applicable) as applicable to Products and Services provided to TWC and Clients, (collectively, “CSG Systems”).  In performing such evaluation, but without prejudice to TWC’s right to ****** the CSG Systems, TWC will first consider the documents which CSG may make available to TWC, which may include, but not be limited to CSG’s Internal Audit security and data privacy *********, ***** and ****** ******* over CSG’s *****, **********, ******* and ****** ********** through or from which the Services are provided prior to the execution of further evaluation procedures.  CSG shall provide the reports authorized to be distributed to TWC to TWC within *** (*) **** of CSG’s receipt thereof.  For purposes of this section “******” shall mean **** **** ****** or ******** ** * *** ******** with CSG designated ****** *** ***********.     

(f)CSG’s obligations to demonstrate and confirm its compliance with the Security Requirements pursuant to Section 10(c) above, or to ****** ** *** ******* ** *** ******** ********** ********** pursuant to Section  10(e)(3) above, shall be subject to CSG’s right to withhold any *********** or ****** regarding the specific details of how its Security Requirements controls and/or Security Safeguards are implemented to the extent that such disclosure would be 

 

reasonably likely to jeopardize the security of its other customers’ confidential information or the integrity of its Security Requirements controls and/or Security Safeguards, as determined by CSG in its reasonable discretion (the “Security Requirements Disclosure Exception”).  For the avoidance of  doubt, the Security Requirements Disclosure Exception in no way entitles CSG to refuse to provide a ********** ******** *********** of what its Security Requirements ******** ***/** ******** ********** are, what *********** **** *** ******** ** *******, and *** ***** *********** *** ********** ********** ** ******* ************ ****** ** ******** ***********.   With regard to any information that is requested by TWC but that CSG does not provide pursuant to the Security Requirements Disclosure Exception, CSG will, if requested by Client, provide to TWC a written certification from an officer of CSG that CSG is complying with the terms of the Security Requirements.

(g)CSG shall comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the handling of personally identifiable information that are now in effect or hereafter promulgated, to the extent the same apply to the Services provided by CSG under this Agreement or any Personal Information that CSG controls, accesses, receives, stores, processes, transmits, maintains, or possesses in connection with the provision of the Services.  Without limiting the foregoing, CSG acknowledges and agrees that Personal Information relating to Customers or potential Customers of TWC or any TWC Company may be subject to the “subscriber” privacy protections set forth in Section 631 of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended (47 U.S.C. Section 551) and, to the extent applicable to CSG and as related to the provision of Services hereunder, CSG shall comply with the requirements thereof.

(h)If, at any time, CSG discovers or becomes aware of any unauthorized disclosure of or access to Personal Information, (“Security Incident”), CSG shall, as soon as reasonably practical after discovery and reasonable investigation thereof,  and subject to any reasonable restrictions placed on CSG by any law enforcement agency in the process of conducting an investigation relating thereto (“Law Enforcement Restrictions”), notify TWC in writing of such Security Incident, including  a detailed description of such Security Incident and take the measures as may be reasonably necessary to prevent any further Security Incident.  CSG shall fully cooperate with TWC in any reasonable action or proceeding as may be deemed necessary by TWC as the result of such Security Incident.

(i)In the event of any Security Incident, and subject always to any third party confidentiality obligations owed by CSG,  CSG shall permit TWC and ***** ******** ******* to ******* * ******** ****** of CSG’s ********** ** *** ******** ******** which may include the ************** ** ******** ***** *** ******* ******** ** *** in conducting its investigation, but in any event solely to the extent necessary to investigate and/or remediate a Security Incident and in no event for discovery purposes in a suit between the parties (the “Security Audit”), provided, however, that absent reasonable provocation or unless required by applicable laws, rules or regulations (collectively, “Laws”), such Security Audit will not be performed more than **** ********.  CSG shall provide TWC and ***** ******** ******* with full cooperation and access to the extent reasonably required, to enable such Audit.  If any Audit identifies any failure of CSG to comply with the Security Requirements or other requirements of this Section 10, CSG shall ******** ****** ***/** ****** *** **** ******* and deliver written notice of such efforts and remedy to TWC and any other affected Client(s).  TWC acknowledges and agrees that any such Security Audit shall be proportionate to the applicable Security Incident and the level of risk arising therefrom, as ********** ** *** ** *** ********** **********.  Nothing in this subsection shall prevent TWC from separately requesting discovery and production from CSG of the materials provided herein pursuant to a pending matter before a court of competent jurisdiction.

(j)Upon the termination, cancellation, or expiration of this Agreement for any reason and the expiration of the Termination Assistance Period, or upon the request of any Client, all Personal Information, together with any copies made thereof, in addition to any media upon which such Personal Information or copies thereof is stored, whether electronic, magnetic, hard copy or in any other form, shall be returned to the applicable Client or, if requested by any Client, destroyed in a commercially reasonable manner and certified destroyed by CSG in writing.

(k)To the extent that CSG is permitted to engage subcontractors to perform, or otherwise provide support to assist CSG to perform, any portion of the Services hereunder and who have access to Personal Information (each a “Permitted Subcontractor”), then: (i) CSG shall not share or disclose, or engage a Permitted Subcontractor to access, store, process, transmit, or otherwise possess any Personal Information of any Customer, unless and until such Permitted Subcontractor has agreed in writing to protect such Personal Information of such Customer in a manner equivalent to that required of CSG under this Agreement, and then only on a need-to-know basis; (ii) CSG shall cause such Permitted Subcontractors to comply in all material respects with obligations and restrictions associated with the services, tasks, 

 

functions, and responsibilities performed by such Permitted Subcontractors, including, without limitation, the obligations set forth in this Section 10; (iii) CSG shall maintain a current and accurate list of all Permitted Subcontractors and shall, in the event of a Security Incident involving any Permitted Subcontractor(s), provide reasonably necessary details with respect to such Permitted Subcontractor(s) to Clients; (iv) to the extent CSG engages any Permitted Subcontractor as a **** ****** *** ******** ** ******* ******** *********** ** *** ******** (a “**** ******”), CSG ***** *** *******, ********** or ********* ****** such **** ****** with, or to, any **** ****** ******* ******* ** *** ****** ****** without the ***** ******* ******* ** ***; and (v) CSG shall not otherwise permit any Personal Information to be transferred outside of the United States, except that this prohibition does not ******** *** ********* *********** supporting the Products and Services from ********* ******** *********** or ************ *********** from a ******** ******* the ****** ******.       

(l)The exclusions set forth in Section 9(b)(i) through (iv) above shall not apply to Personal Information.

(m)CSG acknowledges and agrees that, in the course of providing the Services hereunder, CSG off-shore resources shall not have access to any TWC technical information, or other materials, that would require a Client to obtain any export licenses, authorizations, clearances or approvals.

(n)CSG shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Clients and Clients’ 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 against Clients as a result of CSG’s breach of its obligations under this Section 10.  CSG and the affected Clients shall comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 15.

(o)The rights and obligations set forth in this Section 10 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

11.Warranties.  

(a)CSG shall use due care in processing all work submitted by each Client.  CSG warrants that all statements mailed by CSG hereunder for a Client shall conform to the format and other specifications agreed to by CSG and such Client.  CSG shall, at such Client’s option and CSG’s sole expense, either rerun or credit any job, or any portion of any job, which cannot be used in the normal course of such Client’s business due to errors made by CSG.  

(b)In performing all Services hereunder, CSG shall assign personnel to complete the Services that are competent, knowledgeable and experienced professionals in the type of Services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement.  CSG warrants that it will perform the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the highest industry standards.  In addition, CSG warrants that the Products will perform, in all material respects, in accordance with the published specifications for such Products (“Specifications”).  In case of breach of the foregoing warranty or any other duty related to the quality of the Services or Products for which a remedy is not provided under subparagraph 11(a) above, CSG will promptly correct, replace or re-perform any defective Service or Product or, if not commercially practicable, CSG will accept the return of the defective Product, or the rejection of such Service, and refund to the applicable Client the amount actually paid to CSG for such Service or Product. 

(c)TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY TO THE OTHER PARTY, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

12.Limitation of Liability.

EXCEPT FOR (A) AMOUNTS OWED PURSUANT TO **** *****’* *************** ***********  UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, (B) AMOUNTS OWED TO ******* *** ******* ***** **********, AND (C) DAMAGES ARISING FROM A *****’* ******* **********, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL CSG, ON THE ONE HAND, OR CLIENTS, ON THE OTHER HAND, BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE,  WHETHER BASED ON 

 

BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY IS NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  EXCEPT FOR (I) AMOUNTS OWED PURSUANT TO **** *****’* *************** ***********  UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, (II) AMOUNTS OWED TO ******* *** ******* ***** **********, (III) DAMAGES ARISING FROM A *****’* ******* ********** ** (IV) *******’ ********* *** ********** *** ******** OR ANY ******** **** **** ******* ***** ******* *(*) PRIOR TO ***********, IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY INCURRED BY CSG, ON THE ONE HAND, OR CLIENTS, ON THE OTHER HAND, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT ******** **** ** ******* ** *** ****** *** **** (*) ***** PERIOD PRECEDING THE CLAIM (EXCLUDING ******* ******* AND ******** *******). If fewer than **** (*) ****** have accrued under the Agreement at the time a claim arises, THE AMOUNT ******** **** BY CLIENTS TO CSG DURING THE **** (*) ***** PERIOD PRECEDING THE CLAIM will be computed by including ******************************* under the ****************** and ALL ************ BY THE *********** for ******************* and ******** PROVIDED UNDER THE ***************** (EXCLUDING *************** AND ****************), PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT DATE, that constitute Products and Services under this Agreement.  CSG SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ERRONEOUS OR INCOMPLETE, PROCESSING OR TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION OR DATA BY CLIENTS.   

13.Intellectual Property; Infringement Indemnity.  

(a)All computer software developed and/or utilized by CSG in conjunction with CSG’s Services, whether or not Clients have been charged for such software, and all updates, modifications, enhancements and derivative works of such software and all copies thereof shall be and remain owned by and the sole property of CSG; provided however, that software provided to CSG by a Client and developed by Client or by a third party for such Client, where title to such software vests in such Client or is licensed to such Client shall remain the property of such Client.  All trademarks, service marks, copyrighted material or art or other intellectual property owned or licensed by a Client and provided to CSG hereunder shall be used solely for the purpose of performing the Services and CSG shall acquire no right, title or interest therein.  

(b)CSG agrees that it shall not make use of any corporate names, trade names, logos, product/service identifiers, trademarks and/or service marks owned or licensed by Clients (the “TWC Marks”) except as expressly approved in writing, in advance, by the applicable Client.  All such approvals granted by a Client shall (i) be valid solely during the term specified by the Client, (ii) be limited to the specific purpose for which approval was sought and received (to the extent reasonably required in connection with CSG’s performance under this Agreement and/or any SOW), and (iii) be deemed a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right and license, without right to sublicense, to use the TWC Marks designated by the Client for the approved use, which right and license shall terminate and revert to the Client contemporaneously with the earliest of the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the licensed TWC Marks as specified by the Client, the expiration of this Agreement, or upon any earlier termination of this Agreement by TWC in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  All such uses shall be in accordance with the reasonable procedures and guidelines provided by the Client to CSG from time to time.  CSG shall abide by all applicable laws and regulations with respect to the TWC Marks.  CSG agrees that it shall not bring any legal action or claim that challenges the TWC Marks licensed to CSG for use in connection with this Agreement and/or any SOW in any forum, provided, however, the foregoing is not intended to prevent CSG from defending, or in any manner limit CSG’s ability to defend, itself against any third party claims for infringement based on the TWC Marks brought against CSG.  Further, CSG shall use reasonable efforts to avoid registering on its own behalf any confusingly similar trade names, trademarks, insignia, or domain names in any jurisdiction.  As between the parties, TWC shall be and remain the owner of all right, title and interest in and to all TWC Marks, along with any goodwill associated therewith, and all intellectual property rights in any of the TWC Marks licensed to CSG for its use in connection with this Agreement and/or any SOW, and CSG hereby assigns to TWC all right, title and interest CSG may be deemed to have therein.  Without limiting the foregoing, all goodwill arising from CSG’s use of any TWC Marks licensed to CSG for use in connection with this Agreement and/or any SOW shall, as between the parties hereunder, inure to the benefit of TWC and its applicable licensors.  All rights not expressly granted by Clients are reserved.  No implied licenses are granted by the terms of this Agreement and/or any SOW and no license rights with respect to any TWC Marks shall be created by implication or estoppel.

 

(c)TWC Design Look and Feel:  

	
(1)
	
Except as provided in Section 13(c)(2), “TWC Design Look and Feel” means (i) the composite design (or “theme”) of any statement designs provided by a Client on or after June 9, 2011 or as described in the Statement of Work entitled “Conversion Services for Full Color Printing and Mailing” (CSG Document #2305966), whether in draft or final form, (ii) any enhancements, modifications and/or updates thereto whether provided by a Client and/or otherwise developed in connection with this Agreement and whether in draft or final form, and (iii) all intellectual property rights therein, if any.  TWC Design Look and Feel may include such elements as graphics, text, headings, borders, pictures, bullets, colors, shapes layouts, styles (fonts) and typefaces to the extent not excluded under Section 13(c)(2). 

 

	
(2)
	
TWC Design Look and Feel shall not mean elements that (i) are general or generic in nature, (ii) are used by CSG and/or any third party on behalf of CSG separate and apart from the totality of the TWC Design Look and Feel, (iii) constitute tools, materials, methodologies, templates, know-how, designs and all updates, modifications, enhancement and derivative works thereof that are of general application and used or usable generally by CSG in the provision of services to its customers that are not specific and unique to the TWC Design Look and Feel (collectively, the “General Tools”), (iv) constitute the features and/or components of the TWC Design Look and Feel contributed by CSG through the use of the General Tools (“CSG Components”), or (v) constitute computer software developed and/or utilized by CSG in conjunction with the CSG Services under this Agreement and/or any SOW, and all updates, modifications, enhancements and derivative works of such software and all copies thereof (the “CSG Software”).  For avoidance of doubt, the CSG Software excludes any software provided to CSG by a Client and developed by a Client or by a third party for such Client, where title to such software vests in such Client or is licensed to such Client as provided in Section 13(a) of this Agreement.  

 

	
(3)
	
CSG hereby acknowledges and agrees that the TWC Design Look and Feel shall be owned by, and the exclusive property of, the applicable Client.  CSG shall use such TWC Design Look and Feel solely in connection with performing its obligations under this Agreement.  All rights not expressly granted by the Client are reserved.  CSG acknowledges and agrees that no implied licenses are granted by Clients hereunder with respect to the TWC Design Look and Feel and no license rights with respect to any TWC Design Look and Feel shall be created by implication or estoppel.

 

	
(4)
	
Clients hereby grant to CSG a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, license (without right to sub-license) to use the TWC Design Look and Feel solely for the purpose of performing the Services and providing any deliverables under this Agreement and/or any SOW.  CSG agrees that it shall not disclose or suggest to any of its other customers, the TWC Design Look and Feel.  For purposes of illustration and without limiting the foregoing, neither CSG nor any third party on behalf of CSG shall use or replicate the TWC Design Look and Feel for any other customer of CSG.  

 

	
(5)
	
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 13(c)(5)(y) and 13(c)(5)(z), CSG agrees that CSG shall not (i) incorporate into the bill statements of any of its customers other than Clients, any of the four (4) features and/or components described in Exhibit D to this Agreement (the “TWC Elements”), and/or (ii) disclose or suggest to, or make available to, any of its other customers, any of the TWC Elements.  The foregoing Sections 13(c)(5)(i) and 13(c)(5)(ii), (y) shall not, in response to the independent request of any other customer of CSG, restrict CSG from independently creating and developing any features and/or components that are the same or substantially similar to the TWC Elements without reference to or use of the TWC Elements and/or the underlying creative and development information of CSG and TWC and/or of TWC which was utilized in creating and developing such TWC Elements, and (z) shall not apply to any features and/or components that are the same or substantially similar to the TWC Elements that CSG may have placed into production for, or delivered to, any other CSG customer, or that CSG independently developed, prior to **** *, **** as evidenced and verified by contemporaneous written records.

 

	
(6)
	
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent CSG contributes or utilizes any 

 

		
CSG Components and/or General Tools in the creation or development of the TWC Design Look and Feel, Client shall be entitled to replicate or have replicated the TWC Design Look and Feel without restriction.  For avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Clients and/or their respective third parties from replicating any elements of the Client statements, including without limitation, designs as described in Section 13(c)(1), and CSG hereby acknowledges and agrees that Clients and/or their respective third parties may, without restriction replicate any elements of the Client statements, including without limitation, designs as described in Section 13(c)(1) (e.g., look and feel, functions and features, components, etc.).  The foregoing shall survive the expiration and/or termination of this Agreement.

 

(d)Infringement Indemnity

  

(1)  If any action, suit or proceeding is instituted against any Client based upon a claim that any Service or Product, or the systems or software used by CSG to provide any Service, infringes a copyright, trademark, trade secret or U.S. patent or any other intellectual property of a third party, then CSG shall indemnify, defend (including, without limitation, by making any interim payment necessary for appeal) and hold such Client and such Client’s Related Parties harmless, at CSG’s sole expense, and pay the damages and costs finally awarded against such Client and/or its Related Parties in the infringement action or any settlement amount approved by CSG, but only if such Client complies with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 15 below. If a Product or Service, or any one or part thereof, are in such action held to constitute an infringement of a third party’s rights as set forth above, or the exercise of Client’s rights thereto is enjoined or restricted or in CSG’s reasonable judgment such rights thereto may be enjoined or restricted, CSG shall, at its own expense and in its reasonable discretion:  (i) procure for Clients  the right to use such Product or Service; (ii) replace or modify such Product or Service to make it non-infringing, while providing equivalent performance and functionality; or (iii) if neither (i) nor (ii) are commercially reasonable after CSG’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to achieve (i) or (ii), then CSG may direct the return of such Product or Service, terminate the related licenses and refund to Client any prepaid, unearned fees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13(d)(1) and Section 15, CSG shall have no obligation with respect to any infringement action to the extent that the infringement is caused by (x) any modification to a Product not provided or approved in writing by the CSG or its subcontractor, (y) use of any older version of a Product when use of a newer version would have avoided the infringement, but only if the newer version has been provided to Clients at no additional charge and CSG has provided written notice to Clients that Clients need to migrate to the newer version in order to avoid an infringement claim, or (z) use of a Product or Service by Client(s) in breach of this Agreement.  

 

(2)  If any action, suit or proceeding is instituted against CSG based upon a claim that  any intellectual property of Client used by CSG in the form furnished and manner approved by Client and otherwise in conformity with the terms of this Agreement and any SOW hereunder infringes a copyright, trademark, trade secret or U.S. patent or any other intellectual property of a third party, then Client shall indemnify, defend (including, without limitation, by making any interim payment necessary for appeal) and hold CSG and CSG’s Related Parties harmless, at Client’s sole expense, and pay the damages and costs finally awarded against CSG and/or its Related Parties in the infringement action or any settlement amount approved by Client, but only if CSG complies with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 15.

15.Indemnification Procedures.

In the event of a claim by a third party, with respect to which either CSG or a Client is entitled to indemnification under any provision of this Agreement, the party seeking indemnification (“Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other party (“Indemnifying Party”); provided, however, that any unintentional failure to make such prompt notification shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim is materially prejudiced thereby.   The Indemnifying Party shall have sole control over the defense of the claim and any negotiation for its settlement or compromise, and the Indemnified Party shall comply with any reasonable actions required by the Indemnifying Party (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) to minimize the Indemnifying Party’s and/or the Indemnified Party’s liability in the claim, provided such compliance is not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party’s counsel, adverse to the Indemnified Party’s interests.  However, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim or alleged claim without first obtaining the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent where the settlement would result in any admission of wrongdoing or liability on the part of the Indemnified Party, impose any obligation or liability on the Indemnified party (other than monetary liability for which the Indemnified Party is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, or adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s rights, and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In addition, the Indemnified Party may participate in any claim for indemnification under this Agreement using its own counsel at its own expense.

For purposes hereof, “mission-critical business functions” (e.g. ******** ********** ********* *********, and **********) are those which, ** *** *********, would ***** *** ********* **, or *********** ******* ******* ****, the ******** or ******** ******** by CSG to Clients.

In the event of a disaster or other event resulting in the loss by CSG of any Client’s data, cycle mailings or Materials, CSG shall promptly regenerate such data, resupply such Materials and/or re-perform the Services, as applicable, ** ** ********** ****** ** **** ******.  In the event that CSG moves performance of the Services to a different output center location as a result of a disaster, Clients ***** *** ** ******* *** *** ********** ***** ********** **** **** ****, including without limitation, ******** ***** for ********* ****** ** * ********* ********. 

18.Termination.  Without limiting any termination right set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the following termination rights apply.

(a)Either CSG or TWC may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other party if the other party:  

(i)becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver for its business or assets, becomes subject to any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law whether domestic or foreign that, if involuntary, is not dismissed within ***** (**) ****, or has wound up or liquidated, voluntarily or otherwise, or has otherwise ceased to conduct in the normal course, its business; or

(ii)is in material breach of this Agreement and has failed to cure such breach within ****** (**) **** after receipt from the non-breaching party of written notice of breach and intent to terminate if such breach is not cured 

 

within such ****** (**)-*** period (provided, however, that there shall be ** **** ****** with respect to the ************ ** the **** ******** ****** ****** *** ****** (**) ***** period and, in such event, the termination shall be effective upon receipt of notice from the terminating party unless a later effective date is specified in such notice), except that this clause (ii) shall not be applicable with respect to breaches committed by a Client other than TWC which shall, instead, be governed by subparagraph (c) below.  An example of a material breach by CSG would be the disclosure of personally identifiable Customer information by CSG.  Such example is included herein only for illustrative purposes.  Such example is by no means the exclusive grounds on which TWC could claim that a material breach had occurred or an exhaustive list of the acts or omissions of CSG that may constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall in no way restrict the facts or circumstances under which TWC may be able to claim that CSG has materially breached this Agreement.

(b)In addition to, and without limiting the provisions of subparagraph (a) above, if CSG fails to supply acceptable quality services and products to any Client, or fails to meet the service level agreement requirements set forth in this Agreement with respect to any Client, and CSG has been given written notice of any such failure and has failed to correct same within ****** (**) **** of CSG’s receipt of such notice (provided, however, that there ***** ** ** **** ****** with respect to the ************ ** *** **** ******* ****** *** ****** (**) ***** period), then such Client shall have the right, upon notice to CSG, to terminate such Client’s receipt of Products and Services hereunder.  Such termination shall be effective upon the receipt of such termination notice from such Client unless a later effective date is specified in such notice to CSG.

(c)CSG may terminate its provision of all Products and Services to a particular Client other than TWC only if such Client is in material breach of this Agreement and has failed to cure such breach within ****** (**) **** after receipt of written notice from CSG provided to such Client, with a copy to TWC, reasonably specifying such failure and stating its intention to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Client if such failure is not cured within such thirty (30) day period (provided, however, that there shall be ** **** ****** with respect to the ************ of the **** ******** ****** ****** *** ****** (**) ***** period and, in such event, the termination shall be effective upon receipt of such notice from CSG unless a later effective date is specified in such notice).

(d)Any Client may terminate a Product or Service that falls within the term “Electronic Billing” (including without limitation the PDF Presentment Services, Statement Express, Statement Express API, Exact View and Exact View API or any successor Products or Services) that it is then receiving, *** ***********, and ******* ****** ** *******, upon ****** (**) **** prior written notice to CSG.

19.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 Product and/or Service that is terminated pursuant to Section 18(d) (including without limitation  the PDF Presentment Service, Statement Express, Statement Express API, Exact View and Exact View API or any successor Products or Services), and either with respect to all Clients or with respect to a particular Client, in each such case:  (a) CSG shall reasonably cooperate with Client(s), to facilitate a seamless transition by Client(s), pursuant to the migration schedule reasonably requested by Client(s), to an alternate provider(s) of similar software and similar services specified by Client(s) or to a TWC solution (“Termination Assistance”) for the period of time requested by TWC, *** ** ****** ****** (**)  ****** from such expiration or termination (in each case, the “Termination Assistance Period”); (b) this Agreement shall continue in effect, in each case, until such transition has been completed or the expiration of the Termination Assistance Period, whichever occurs first (“Conclusion of Termination Assistance”); and (c) without limiting the foregoing, as part of the Termination Assistance, CSG shall provide each Client with Technical Services as requested by such Client, including without limitation (i) a copy of all business rules and other information that the Client reasonably requests in order to be able to migrate the bill finishing services for Clients’ bill statements and other Customer communications printed hereunder to an alternate provider or a TWC solution and (ii) an electronic copy of all PDF images of Customers’ historical bill statements over the time period specified by TWC (up to ****** (**) ****** of history) (collectively, the items referred to in clauses (c)(i) and (c)(ii) constitute the General Transition Services”).  In connection with the foregoing, (1) Clients shall continue to pay the fees for Products and Services set forth in the Pricing Schedule for the Products and Services received by Clients until the Conclusion of Termination Assistance, and (2) Clients shall pay CSG on the basis of the Technical Services fees for the time spent by CSG personnel in performing Technical Services, including but not limited to the General Transition Services,   unless the termination of this Agreement in its entirety, or the termination of a Product and/or Service that is terminated pursuant to Section 18(d), occurs concurrently with a deconversion under the Billing Agreement, in which case no Technical Services fees will be assessed for the General Transition Services under this Agreement and Client(s) shall pay CSG for such services under the Billing 

 

Agreement.  If this Agreement is terminated by CSG with respect to all Clients pursuant to Section  18 (a)(ii) above due to TWC’s failure to pay undisputed fee amounts to CSG when due, then CSG may, as a condition to providing the Termination Assistance in accordance with this Section, require TWC to pay to CSG any past due undisputed fee amounts then due and owing to CSG.  

20.Divestiture of Cable Systems/Business Units.  If a Client sells, transfers or otherwise divests any cable system(s) or business unit(s) receiving Products and/or Services under this Agreement (whether such transaction takes the form of a conveyance of assets or equity, merger, consolidation or other business reorganization) (each, a “Divested System”), then such Divested System may continue to receive the Products and Services pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement for a transitional period *** ** ****** ****** (**)  ****** after the closing of the divestiture transaction (the “Divestiture Transition Period”); provided, however, that the Divested Cable System first agree in writing, for the benefit of CSG, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement during the Divestiture Transition Period and, in connection with a Divested System’s decision as to whether or not to agree thereto, the Client may disclose this Agreement to such Divested Cable System.  The Divested Cable System shall be solely responsible to CSG, and CSG shall look only to such Divested Cable System, for the payment and performance of its obligations under this Agreement to CSG, including without limitation the payment to CSG of all applicable charges set forth in Exhibit C that relate to the Divested Cable System and such amounts shall be invoiced by CSG directly to such Divested Cable System.

 

21.***************.    During the term of this Agreement, each month each Client shall be responsible for paying CSG the fees, as set forth in Exhibit C, in relation to any Products or Services utilized by such Client during the month.  The parties have mutually agreed upon the fees for the Products and Services to be provided hereunder based upon certain ******* ******** ******** and the term of this Agreement.  Clients acknowledge and agree that, without the ********* ** ******* ******** by the commitments set forth in this Agreement, CSG would have been unwilling to provide the Products and Services at the fees set forth in Exhibit C.  Because of the difficulty in ascertaining CSG’s actual damages for a termination of this Agreement in its entirety, before the expiration of the then-current Term, (a) by TWC *************** (which is not permitted under Section 18) or (b) by CSG under Sections 18(a)(i) or 18(a)(ii) resulting from any other breach of this Agreement by TWC, TWC agrees that, upon termination of this Agreement as described above, in addition to all other amounts then due and owing to CSG for Products and Services previously rendered, TWC will pay to CSG (as a ******** ************** *** and *** ** * *******) an amount equal to the product of (i) ******’* ******* ******* ******* (excluding any ******** ** ***) for the ********** *** ********* ********** – ******** – ***** ******** **** and ********* ********** – ********* – ***** ******** **** during the *** (*) ****** prior to termination, (ii) ********** by the ****** ** ****** ********* ** the **** ** **** ********* had there been ** *********** and (iii)  ********** by ***** ******* (***) (the “********** ****”).  If TWC elects to receive Termination Assistance as provided in Section 19 after termination as provided herein, then the number of months remaining in the term of this Agreement in subparagraph (ii) above will be ******* ** *** ****** ** ****** ****** *** *********** ********** ****** in which CSG is providing Print and Mail Services  and the ****** of Print and Mail Services for any such months ****** ** *******  *** ****** ** ***** *** **** ******** ****** *** ***** ********* **** ***********.  TWC acknowledges and agrees that the ********** **** is a ********** ********** ** *** ****** ******* that CSG would ****** **** *** **** ***** ***********.  Except for amounts owed pursuant to a Client’s *************** *********** under this Agreement, a Client’s breach of ******* * (***************), and Client’s ********* *** *** ******** **** **** ******* under Section 6(a) of this Agreement, CSG acknowledges and agrees that the ********** **** are CSG’s sole and exclusive remedy for any such early termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing,  (a) if a Client has not converted to SmartColor as of the Commencement Date of this Agreement, then before CSG can provide SmartColor to such Client, such Client and CSG must enter into a separate Statement of Work for the implementation of SmartColor on terms that are consistent with this Agreement and mutually agreed by the parties; and (b) for any Client that now or hereafter uses SmartColor, such Client can convert to black only, as described in Exhibit A-2.

Instead of receiving returned mail pieces to Client’s site for address updates, the USPS will provide CSG with an address file, and CSG will automatically update the “bill to” information for Clients’ connected and disconnected Customers.  

 

	
14.
	
CUSTOMER LETTERS (ACP Clients only).

 

CSG’s new Customer Letter service offers advanced flexibility, supporting page and font formatting, insertion of graphics, and the use of any font supported by Microsoft Word.  The product allows for selective inserts, Ad Pages, and choice of paper stock.  In addition, Clients may opt under the Billing Agreement to use CSG Vantage Direct, a suite of Vantage interactive applications that offer Vantage users the ability to target specific Customers or groups of accounts from the Vantage database (or comparable applications from CSG or another data source) to receive a particular promotion or communication through CSG Customer Letters.

 

Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 12 above, all updates and enhancements of the Services described above containing functionality previously existing under this Agreement shall be made available at no charge to TWC or Clients immediately upon release by CSG and are included within the Services hereunder.  Except as otherwise provide herein and subject to a mutually agreed amendment to the Agreement, CSG may charge TWC or Clients for any updates only containing functionality that did not previously exist under this Agreement, provided that such new functionality must be an optional Service hereunder and is generally made available as a separately priced item.  CSG will not be required to (i) develop and release updates, (ii) customize updates to satisfy Client’s particular requests, or (iii) obtain updates or enhancements to any third party products or services, provided, however, in no event shall the foregoing in any limit CSG’s support obligations hereunder.      

 

 

Exhibit A-1

 

Print and Mail Services

 

	
1.
	
DEFINITIONS.

 

	
(a)
	
Mail Pieces:  May include statements, customer letters, reports and other documents.

 

	
(b)
	
Cycle:  A cycle is defined as the time period beginning at **:** **** and ending at **:** ******** in the time zone where physical printing occurs.  A cycle can include multiple Client file transmissions of mail pieces.  As used in this Agreement, the terms “Client file” or “data file” shall mean a single job of like pieces for Client.

 

	
(c)
	
Turnaround:  The elapsed time between the end of transmission of an accurate and complete data file and the point where the last mail piece of that transmission is delivered to USPS.  For any mail piece sent to a third party for further processing to receive the lowest postal rates, the Turnaround time clock stops when CSG has completed preparation of the mail piece for pick-up by such third party provider.

 

A single turnaround time clock will apply to each Client file received during any one cycle.

 

	
(d)
	
Received:  Client files are deemed received upon successful transmission of an accurate, complete and properly formatted file to CSG.

 

	
2.
	
Data from each Non-ACP Client is to be prepared for CSG in the agreed format and transmitted to the designated CSG Output Center no later than *:** **** ET/*:** **** CT, on each of the daily cycle processing dates.  If the data is erroneous or is not prepared in the agreed format, or if a Non-ACP Client furnishes media which is in unsatisfactory condition for processing, then CSG shall immediately notify the applicable Non-ACP Client of the problem.  If such Non-ACP Client requests that CSG research or resolve the problem, then a fee based on the Technical Services fee as set forth on the Pricing Schedule under Section 3.B.IV, Optional Services, may be assessed on the part of CSG to research or resolve the data or format problem.  If any media furnished by a Non-ACP Client are damaged due to CSG’s equipment or processes, CSG shall replace such media at its own expense.  Each Non-ACP Client is responsible for maintaining proper backup of source material sent to CSG until CSG has returned the original media to such Non-ACP Client. 

 

	
3.
	
Under this Agreement, CSG will produce and distribute each Client’s Customer statements and other documents provided to CSG under this Agreement for printing/mailing (collectively, “Customer Mail Pieces”), which services for each Client are more particularly described as follows:

 

	
·
	
Daily processing, postal sortation, printing, inserting and full mail distribution of Client’s Customer Mail Pieces.

	
·
	
Processing of Client data for proper statement formatting, printing, inserting and delivery distribution requirements.

	
·

·
	
CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) Certification of all Client-requested mailing names.

	
·
	
Specific Client related job program development, maintenance and backup to support print and mail application.

	
·

4.
	
Postage.  CSG agrees to purchase the postage required to mail documents to Client’s Customers generated by CSG on behalf of Client.    Postage fees (as they may be increased by the USPS from time to time) shall be charged to Clients at CSG’s actual cost.  If it would result in a lower cost to the applicable Client for CSG to send certain items in a particular 

 

		
job for such Client out to a presort house for sortation and mailing because a lower USPS rate could be obtained for such Client as a result, then, under such circumstances, CSG may pass through to such Client any sortation charges assessed by such presort house to CSG, but only if the postage costs for all items mailed through such presort house and such sortation charges, when taken together, would be less than the postage costs charged to such Client had CSG sorted and mailed such items.   CSG shall immediately notify a Client if a mailing will not qualify for the USPS first class one/two ounce postage rate in order to afford such Client an opportunity to reduce the size of such mailing in order to enable it to qualify for such rate.  Daily postal reports are available to ACP Clients (***** ********) through CSG’s DirectNet application and to Non-ACP Clients (*** ****** ********) through CSG Connect, as described in paragraph 5 below.  

 

	
5.
	
DirectNet and CSG Connect.  CSG Connect and Direct Net are Web applications that allow CSG's clients direct access to Statement Processing Centers (SPCs).  Clients can view daily file processing statistics, access operational reports (including postal reports), and upload/download files (CSG Connect only).  CSG shall ensure that such applications provide Clients with daily metric information on all statement processing hereunder, including the number of statements processed at any one time for each billing cycle, the number of statements and date of delivery to the USPS (or availability to presort house) for each billing cycle, the applicable postage fees for each cycle with respect to statements delivered to the USPS (or availability to presort house), and any other information reasonably requested by Clients.  The applications also serve as a single entry point for Output Solutions clients, providing links to other CSG applications.      

 

DirectNet is accessed at the following URL:

6.
	
Deposit.  Each Client shall make and maintain a deposit equal to the estimated amount of actual postage charges for such Client for ********** (**) **** as reasonably determined by CSG based upon the estimated project volume of applicable Services to be performed monthly by CSG (“Deposit”).  In the last month of each calendar quarter CSG shall calculate the new Deposit based on the average of the previous ***** (*) *****’* postage expense as determined by CSG.  If the new Deposit is greater than the Deposit on hand, Client shall be invoiced for the required increase in the Deposit.  Likewise, if the new Deposit required is less than the Deposit on hand, CSG shall provide an invoice credit for the amount required to reduce the Deposit on hand.  The Deposit shall be used exclusively for the postage costs of such Client and may not be used to satisfy any other unpaid amounts of such Client under this Agreement.  

 

Any portion of the Deposit that remains after the payment of all Payables due to CSG following the deconversion of a Client site, or termination or expiration of this Agreement and expiration of the Termination Assistance Period will be refunded to Client.  Client shall not be entitled to receive interest on the Deposit while it is maintained by CSG. 

 

	
7.
	
Cycle Minimum.  Clients must have a minimum of ******* (**) ****** *** *****.

 

	
8.
	
Marketing Services.  Client shall use CSG’s Marketing Services group for the purchase of paper and envelopes to be used in connection with Print and Mail Services.  CSG guarantees that such supplies meet all CSG required specifications and quality standards.  Client, at its option, may use CSG’s Marketing Services group for the purchase of optional marketing inserts or other paper or envelopes.

 

	
9.
	
Marketing Insert Process.

 

CSG and TWC Companies agree that if any Client desires to implement an insert plan in any given month that uses more than ***** (*) marketing inserts per system/principle per day, Client shall be required to provide CSG with ********** (**) **** advance notice (such notice shall be satisfied via email or phone call) of the date in which the insert plan is to be implemented.  Upon receiving such notice, CSG and Client shall agree on the timing and duration of the insert plan, any additional fees or SLA extensions to be assessed based on the number of additional jobs created and any other details necessary for CSG to fully understand and document Client’s request.  Such agreement will be summarized in a Marketing Services quotation or other mutually agreed upon written document which shall be accepted and signed by authorized representatives of Client a minimum of ******* (**) **** prior to the implementation of the insert plan.

Exhibit A-2

SmartColor

 

	
1.
	
SmartColor Printing is available on both sides of each physical statement page.  The SmartColor Printing fee in Exhibit C allows for up to and including maximum ink saturation coverage of twenty percent (20%) utilizing color including black.  Determination of whether the ink saturation coverage is at or below twenty percent (20%) is based on the logical page that contains the most ink coverage.  The SmartColor Printing fee in Exhibit C shall be assessed against Client’s total physical page count on a monthly basis regardless of the actual number of physical pages that received color processing (i.e. the fee is assessed whether the physical page receives color or not).  

 

	
2.
	
In the event a Client desires to discontinue SmartColor Printing as to all of such Client’s printed statement volume plus printed additional page volume utilizing SmartColor Printing, such Client shall provide CSG sixty (60) days written notice of its election to discontinue SmartColor Printing without any fee or penalty to such Client.   CSG requires the use of 24# paper for SmartColor printing due to ink saturation.

 

	
3.
	
Should an event require activation of CSG’s disaster recovery plan, or in the event of an unforeseen or unplanned outage that prohibits SmartColor Printing, Client acknowledges and agrees that during such event(s) (a) CSG will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue printing in color using SmartColor Printing although colors may vary slightly, and, if unable to do so, and (b) CSG will notify Client and, thereafter, statements will be printed using black/white print technology.  In such event(s), Client shall not be charged the SmartColor Printing fee for the statements printed using black/white print technology.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY/DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

 

 

CSG maintains written disaster recovery plans (“Plans”) that describe a pre-planned sequence of events to ensure the continuation, recovery, and restoration of all business-critical business functions in the event of a business disaster.

In accordance with Section 8, Account Management, of the Agreement, CSG will assign a dedicated team exclusively for the support of Clients (“TWC Strategic Business Unit or SBU”).  The SBU will have the overall responsibility for Client satisfaction with all Products and Services.   The make-up of the SBU will change from time to time to meet the changing needs of the industry and of the Clients.  The SBU shall distribute copies of CSG’s current escalation process to all Clients and agrees to provide timely updates to reflect any material changes to the escalation process.  The SBU will participate in periodic conference calls and meetings with TWC’s user group to gain direct feedback on user satisfaction, industry trends and Clients short and long term plans. 

 

The SSC provides Clients with advice, consultation and assistance to use the Products and Services and diagnose and correct problems that Clients may encounter with the then-current version of the Products or with the Services.  For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the SSC shall not be responsible for supporting problems with the inoperability of any networks (LANs or WANs), any hardware or software (other than the Products) located on Client’s premises, or third party systems.  CSG will offer the SSC remotely by toll-free telephone, fax or other electronic communication **********************, ****************, ******************.  Each Client will bear all fax and other expenses that it may incur in connection with the SSC. Every Client problem is assigned a tracking number and a priority.  Problems are resolved according to their assigned priority.  In the event that CSG and the applicable Client disagree about the appropriate priority level classification of the reported problem, then the classification of the problem made by Client in the exercise of Client’s commercially reasonable judgment shall govern.
