Exhibit 10.26AG

Exhibit 2

to 

Schedule A 

 

Lockbox Confirmation Email

 

 

CSG will provide file confirmation emails to Customer:

 

	
1.
	
CSG requires Customer to be set up to receive file confirmation emails from CSG.  When Customer transmits a file and it is successfully received and processed by CSG, a confirmation email will be automatically sent to Customer's specified email address.  The subject line of the email will be: “CSG LOCKBOX FILE CONFIRMATION.”

 

Each confirmation email will have a confirmation document attached in Notepad format. 

 

	
2.
	
The purpose of the confirmation email is to provide Customer with the ability to supervise its file after the file has been transmitted.   

 

	
3.
	
An individual file will be made up of one (1) or more batches.  When received, the confirmation email will provide the following information for each batch within a processed file:

	
 
	
•
	
The SPA assigned to the batch

	
 
	
•
	
whether the entire batch was accepted or rejected

	
 
	
-
	
a reject reason will be provided for any rejected batch

	
 
	
•
	
total dollar amount of a rejected batch

	
 
	
•
	
total dollar amount of accepted items within an accepted batch

	
 
	
-
	
individual items of an accepted batch can be rejected; when that occurs the totals of those items do not show in the total for the batch

 

	
4.
	
The confirmation email will also provide the total dollar amount of all (i) accepted payment and (ii) returned batches.  The totals for any rejected batches will not show in the overall totals.   

 

	
5.
	
Every confirmation email will contain the following ending statement: 

 

“IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE CONTENTS OF THIS EMAIL,  CONTACT THE CSG  ISD AT 1-888-ASK-1CSG; REFERENCE JOB CAD1AA.”

 

[Note: Customer shall be assigned a unique CAD1 job name that will be provided in the confirmation email.]  

 

	
6.
	
If a file is transmitted and processed at CSG successfully, Customer will receive the confirmation email within [****** (**) *******] of transmission.  

 

	
7.
	
If Customer does not receive a confirmation email within such [****** (**) ******] time period, Customer should contact the ISD and provide the designated CAD1 job name.  The ISD will open a priority 2 ITSM incident and the CSG Financial Services on-call team will be paged.

 

	
8.
	
The CSG Financial Services on call team will assess the situation to determine what 2nd level team(s) to engage.
