This Fifty-ninth Amendment (the “Amendment”) is made by and betweenCSG Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CSG”), andTime Warner Cable Inc. (“TWC”). CSG and TWC entered into a certain CSG Master Subscriber Management System Agreement executed March 13, 2003, and effective as of April 1, 2003, as amended (the “Agreement”), and now desire to further amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment. If the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment shall be in conflict with the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall control. Any terms in initial capital letters or all capital letters used as a defined term but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. Upon execution of this Amendment by the parties, any subsequent reference to the Agreement between the parties shall mean the Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Except as amended by this Amendment, the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect according to their terms. Certain provisions of this Amendment are effective as of the last date of signature by a party hereto resulting in the document being fully executed (“Signature Date”), certain provisions of this Amendment shall be effective as of January 1, 2013, and certain provisions of this Amendment shall be effective as of April 1, 2013 (the “Contract Anniversary Date”), as indicated below.
WHEREAS, CSG and TWC wish to amend the agreement to extend the term, provide additional Products and Services, provide amended pricing; and
THEREFORE, the parties wish to amend the Agreement as provided below.
CSG and TWC agree to the following:
1. | Effective as of the Signature Date, clause (1) in the definition of Affiliate set forth in the first recital on page 1 of the Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: |
(1) each of Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC, Time Warner NY Cable LLC, and Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership, any successor-in-interest of any of the foregoing, any majority-owned subsidiary of TWC or any of the foregoing entities (each of TWC and the foregoing entities, a “TWC Company”), and/or any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity which is managed in whole or in significant part by any TWC Company or through managers designated by any TWC Company; or
2. | Effective as of the Signature Date, Section 1.2, “Term,” of the Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: |
1.2 Term. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 6, this Agreement shall remain in effect through 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time of March 31, 2017 (“Initial Term”). TWC shall have an option to renew this Agreement for an additional one year period (April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018) after expiration of the Initial Term (“Renewal Term”), such renewal option to be exercised in TWC’s sole discretion by providing CSG with notice of renewal on or before September 30, 2016 (“Renewal Notice Deadline”). The Initial Term and, if elected by TWC, the Renewal Term collectively shall constitute the “Term” and/or “the term of this Agreement.” Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 6 or pursuant to any other termination rights set forth in this Agreement or a relevant Statement of Work, the term of any specific license for the Products and the term for any specific Services to be provided shall be coterminous with this Agreement unless stated otherwise in the applicable Schedule, Addendum, prior or future amendment to this Agreement or relevant Statement of Work. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that TWC elects a Renewal Term in accordance with the foregoing renewal provisions, any specific license for the Products and the term of any obligation to provide specific Services that may be keyed to a stated date that corresponds with the end of the Initial Term (either as stated in the original Agreement effective as of April 1, 2003 or as subsequently amended) is hereby automatically extended for the duration of the Term, subject to the parties’ respective termination rights with respect thereto under this Agreement and/or any applicable Statement of Work executed pursuant to this Agreement. Further, the parties agree that the provisions of Section 3 that relate to TWC (rather than BHN) set forth in the Fiftieth Amendment to the Agreement shall continue to govern and be applicable to the Renewal Term. In the event CSG does not receive prior written notice from TWC on or before September 30, 2016, CSG shall not be required to extend the Agreement through March 31, 2018.

CSG will commence providing the ******* ***** in April 2013.

c) | TWC agrees to provide CSG with the allocation of the ******* ***** and the ****** ***** applicable to each Customer no later than ****** **** **** prior to the date in which the applicable invoice containing the ******* ***** or ****** ***** is sent to each Customer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall such exclusivity obligation be deemed to apply to the generation or archival of images of any Connected Subscriber monthly bill statements or to the electronic presentment or payment of Connected Subscriber monthly bill statements. In the event of a breach of the foregoing by a particular Participating Affiliate, such Participating Affiliate or TWC agrees to pay as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, and CSG agrees to accept as its sole and exclusive remedy for such non-compliance with the terms of exclusivity provided in this section 3.2 (d), an amount equal to the **** ******* ***** ******** **** ********** *** for ESP Statement Format multiplied by the **** **** ********* ****** *** *** ********* **********’* ******* ******* ********** that was not printed by CSG in violation of the foregoing exclusivity provision, for each month such Participating Affiliate is not in compliance with the terms of exclusivity in this section 3.2 (d) continuing until such Customer is compliant with this section. In addition, each Customer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cure such violation or breach as soon as practicable. The Parties understand and agree that the remedy provided in this section 3.2 (d) which a Customer shall pay to CSG as a result of such Customer’s breach of this Section 3.2 (d) is a reasonable estimate of CSG’s damages in accordance with applicable law. Further, the payment of the liquidated damages provided in this section 3.2 (d) shall not constitute a waiver or release of any other remedy CSG may have under this Agreement for a Customer’s breach of any other term of this Agreement, including without limitation, CSG’s termination rights under this Agreement and CSG’s rights, subject to the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement to recover actual damages caused by a Customer’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement. |

Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSG agrees that: (1) no charges may be assessed by CSG to a Customer pursuant to a Statement of Work on account of a Customer requested delay under, or termination for convenience by Customer of, a Statement of Work. Rather, the only amounts that may be immediately charged and subsequently invoiced by CSG to the applicable Customer in connection therewith are for Technical Services actually performed in accordance with the Statement of Work, and Reimbursable Expenses incurred, prior to the effective date of a Customer requested work stoppage under a Statement of Work or a termination of such Statement of Work by such Customer for convenience. CSG may invoice Customer for all Technical Services actually performed and Reimbursable Expenses incurred upon notice of a Customer delay or Customer’s termination of a Statement of work and said notice may take the form of an e-mail. In the case of a Statement of Work that sets forth a fixed fee, such charges shall be based on the percentage of the project that has been completed by CSG as of the time of such Customer requested work stoppage or termination for convenience by Customer, as mutually agreed upon by the parties. In the event that (1) a Customer requested work stoppage under a particular Statement of Work exceeds *** ***** in duration, CSG and Customer shall mutually agree upon a plan to continue the performance of work within the subsequent *****, and if a plan cannot mutually be agreed upon, CSG may terminate the Statement of Work, in which case neither CSG nor Customer (except Customer payment for CSG work performed) shall have any further liability or obligation under such Statement of Work; and (2) in the course of negotiating a Statement of Work, the applicable Customer requests that such Statement of Work include acceptance procedures with respect to the Deliverables to be provided under such Statement of Work, CSG shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon acceptance procedures that enable such Customer to verify that the Deliverables comply with the requirements contemplated in such Statement of Work prior to being invoiced for the fees set forth in such Statement of Work and also permit the Deliverables to be deemed accepted upon some reasonable use in production. Any provisions that conflict with any of the forgoing that are set forth in a particular Statement of Work shall be null and void.

15. | As of the Signature Date Article 10.4 Limited Access shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
10.4 Limited Access. Each party shall limit the use and access of Confidential Information to such party’s bona fide employees, agents, or third party contractors who have a need to know such information for purposes of conducting the receiving party’s business, 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 10 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 10.4 and Section 10.5, the provisions of Section 10.5 shall control and prevail.
For the avoidance of doubt, as a result of the amendment and restatement of Section 10.4 above, the restrictions, set forth in previous amendment(s), to the Agreement that restrict the purposes for which the Outsourcing Vendors may access and use the Products and Services to only providing or supporting Subscriber customer care services or providing marketing services to any Customer(s), no longer apply as long as the access and use by Outsourcing Vendors is pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 10.4.

The Parties have mutually agreed upon the fees for the Products and Services to be provided hereunder based upon certain assumed volumes of business activity, and the term of this Agreement. Customers acknowledge and agree that, without the certainty of revenue promised 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 thisSchedule F. Because of the difficulty in ascertaining CSG’s actual damages for a termination or other breach of this Agreement by TWC resulting in a termination of this Agreement before the expiration of the then-current term, TWC agrees that, upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety for reasons other than by TWC pursuant to Section 6.1(c) or 6.1(d) in addition to all other amounts then due and owing to CSG for Services previously rendered, TWC will pay to CSG (as a contract discontinuance fee and not as a penalty) an amount equal to:

Tier V: ********* to ********* | ******* | $ | ****** (per Connected Subscriber) | |||
Tier VI: greater than ********* | ******* | $ | ****** (per Connected Subscriber) |
Note 1: The CSC Tiers, as set forth in the table above, are intended to be cumulative and not incremental. For example, if Customers have ********* Connected Subscribers in the current billing *****, the CSC on all ********* Connected Subscribers would be $****** per Connected Subscriber. As a point of clarification, in the event that a Subscriber is utilizing several services (e.g., video and high speed data services) on a ****** subscriber account on the last processing *** of a processing *****, such Subscriber shall be counted as *** *** ********* **********. However, in the event that a Subscriber is utilizing several services (e.g., video and high speed data services) on *** separate subscriber accounts on the last processing *** of a processing *****, such Subscriber shall be counted as *** *** ********* ***********.
Effective as of the Contract Anniversary Date, should Customers’ aggregate monthly Connected Subscribers processed under the Agreement be less than 5,900,001 (the “Tier I Volume”),Schedule F, Section 1.A.1 (Video and Non-Rated High Speed Data), TWC may request and CSG shall grant the ability to **** ** *** ********** ** ****** *** for the ****** ** ******* ********* *********** as needed to ******** *** **** ** ****** rates (volume of ********* ** *********), for a total of ****** **** ******, in the aggregate, during the Term of the Agreement (the “*** ** ******”).

This will allow the Customers to pay a ******* ****** as opposed to the ****** **** associated with Tier I Volume for the *** ** ****** during the Term of the Agreement despite an actual volume of aggregate monthly Connected Subscribers of less than *********. Once the total number of *** ** ****** has been exhausted, this option shall no longer be available to Customers and all other fees provided in this Agreement shall be given their full force and effect.

2. | ******* fee for voice services on a standalone account: |
In the event that the only service on a Connected Subscribers account is voice, Customers shall pay CSG in accordance with the fees set forth in the table above plus an additional $****** for items bundled in the CSC that are applicable to voice services. As an example, Customers have ********* Connected Subscribers in the current billing ***** and of the ********* Connected Subscribers, ********* are utilizing voice services and of the ********* utilizing voice services, ***** are standalone accounts. The total fee in relation to the ***** Connected Subscribers utilizing only voice services would be $****** per Connected Subscriber (the incremental voice services fee of $****** + $****** for items bundled in the CSC that are applicable to voice services).
d. | The following services shall be unbundled from the CSC and removed from “The Monthly CSC for Video and Non-Rated High Speed Data includes the following:” as set forth in Section I.A.1 under CSG SERVICES, for Video and Non-Rated High Speed Data, and thus shall now be invoiced separately to each Customer for the fees set forth inSchedule F of the Agreement: |

The sole purpose of the changes set forth in Subsections 20.f. and h. above is to unbundle the printing of the first physical statement page from the Connected Subscriber Charges (also known as CSC) without increasing the price associated with that first physical statement page for each Participating Affiliate as of April 1, 2013, and to reflect the prices for the Materials currently being used by the Participating Affiliates in connection with the printing and mailing of statements. CSG and Customer acknowledge that it was discovered that a very small subset of Customer’s business was being invoiced using a paper fee that was $****** ***** than the paper fee for the majority of Customer’s business, and that this *********** *** *** ** * ******* ********* ** *** **** ** ***. The impact of this oversight is that this small subset of Customers’ business will experience an ******** in the value associated with Customers’ first physical statement page; however, because the impact is de minimis and expected to be less than $***** per *****, CSG and Customer agree that this oversight shall not constitute a conflict or violation of the terms of the above statement that the value of the first physical statement page is not ********* as a result of the unbundling effort. Further the sole purpose of the changes set forth in Subsection 20.g. combined with certain elements of Subsection 20.h. with respect to additional statement pages is to allow CSG to invoice consistently for all paper without ********** the price associated with each additional statement page. If such Subsections have the unintended consequence of ******* *** *** **** *******, excluding price increases in Materials due to Section 5.4 “Adjustment to Fees” of the Agreement, to the Participating Affiliates for the first physical statement page and/or each additional statement page, then the parties shall cooperate to promptly enter into an amendment to the Agreement to ******* **** *****, and such amendment shall be effective as of the Contract Anniversary Date.

For purposes of clarification, Customer has purchased a number of Order Workflow licenses during the term of the Agreement and prior agreements with CSG. As a result, prior to January 1, 2013, Customer was required to pay annual maintenance fees on these products at various times throughout the year. TWC desires and CSG agrees to modify the invoicing of the maintenance fees paid for Customer’s Order Workflow licenses to a ******** **** basis, such that the ****** maintenance fees shall be invoiced each ******* for an ****** maintenance period from January 1st through December 31st for each calendar year (“OWF Calendar Year Invoicing”). For the avoidance of doubt, such annual maintenance fees shall remain subject to Section 5.4 “Adjustment to Fees” of the Agreement.
In order to transition to OWF Calendar Year Invoicing, CSG will invoice TWC in ******* 2013 the Order Workflow maintenance listed above less the amount of unused pre-paid Order Workflow maintenance for Order Workflow licenses whose 2012 maintenance period extended into 2013, and is set to expire prior to December 2013. Thereafter, the ****** maintenance fees shall be invoiced on a OWF Calendar **** Invoicing basis, in accordance with the fees set forth inSchedule F of the Agreement.
l. Prior to the Signature Date, Customers have purchased *** ******** **** ******* ******-***** ******* concurrent licenses of CSG’s ACSR (web-enabled) as set forth in the various Participating Affiliate Addendum(s) and the Agreement (“Licensed ACSR (web-enabled)”). Of the *** ******** **** ******* ******-***** ******* Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) licenses, *** ******** **** ******* ******* of the licenses were purchased by the New York City Division (the “Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) – NYC”) and **** ******* ****** ***** ***** of the licenses were purchased by corporate and all other Divisions other than the New York City Division (the “Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) – Other Regions”). For purposes of clarity, the Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) – NYC operates in a ******** *** ****** *********** **********t of the Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) – Other Regions. As a result, the following terms will be utilized in determining ******** ************, for each ******** *** ****** ***********, provided, however, if *** ******** *** ****** ************ cease for any reason, the following calculations shall be ****** **** *** *********** for all of the Licensed ACSR (web-enabled); therefore, CSG agrees to the following terms:
(a) | CSG will provide CSG ACSR (web-enabled) license utilization reports to TWC for (i) TWC, (ii) the Participating Affiliate Divisions other than the New York City Participating Affiliate, and (iii) the New York City Participating Affiliate Division that show the concurrent usage by ***, *** ******* ***** ********** usage, and the ******* ***** ********** usage of ACSR (web-enabled) licenses for the *****; also, provide reports for each of the above TWC regions listing the unique and active user IDs of users utilizing the CSG ACSR (web-enabled) Product. The reports will be released ******* to TWC corresponding to CSG’s ******* invoicing cycle. |
(b) | For each ****** *********** (i.e. Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) – Other Regions and Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) – NYC) CSG will provide Customers with variable CSG ACSR (web-enabled) license capacity, as follows: |
1) | Should Customers’ number of utilized ACSR (web-enabled) licenses for each ******** *** ****** *********** (“Utilized ACSR (web-enabled)) exceed the number of Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) for **** ******** *** ****** *********** by more than ****** ******* ***%* in a given ***** (“Variable Capacity”) based on ********** usage, TWC agrees to pay a “ACSR (web-enabled) Access Fee” as set forth inSchedule F, as set forth in the table below, for Utilized ACSR (web-enabled), if any, over and above the Variable Capacity (“Excess Concurrent Use”), subject to CSG providing TWC with a report when the number of Utilized ACSR (web-enabled) reaches the then-current number of Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) licenses. At the request of and as designated by TWC, CSG shall invoice the Participating Affiliate(s) for its applicable portion of the ACSR (web-enabled) Access Fee, if applicable. |
*** | Confidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission. |
2) | Commencing June 2013, corresponding to CSG’s ******* invoicing cycle, and each year thereafter in June, Customers’ number of Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) will be reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, in accordance with the following: |
For the purpose of determining the number of Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) applicable for the next calendar year, the mean will be calculated using the following two measurements:
i) ****** ***** ******* of the highest ***** ********** usage from each of the previous ****** **** ****** (i.e. **** – ******** of the ******** **** and ******* – **** of the ******* ****) combined regional license utilization reports; and
ii) ****** ***** ******* of the average ***** ********** usage for the month from each of the previous ****** **** ****** (i.e. **** – ******** of the ******** **** and ******* – **** of the ******* ****) combined regional license utilization reports (“****** Measurement Report”).
CSG shall provide a copy of the ****** Measurement Reports to TWC no later than **** ** for each measurement period. The mean of i) and ii) above will be the quantity the parties will use for purposes of determining the Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) level applicable for the next calendar **** (“New Licensed ACSR (web-enabled)”). For example, if the Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) – NYC ****** Measurement Reports reflect averages described in i) above as ***** and averages described in ii) above as *****, it is expected that TWC will ******** the Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) licenses from ***** to ***** (i.e., * ********** licenses), unless in good faith TWC determines that a ********* ******** in licenses is not necessary to avoid similar overages in the upcoming year. Any increase to the number of Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) licenses shall be subject to the parties executing an amendment to the Agreement for TWC’s purchase of New Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) licenses at the fees set forth inSchedule F of the Agreement. TWC will have the right to specify which regions purchase the additional licenses. If applicable, CSG will invoice the applicable TWC region(s) for the New Licensed ACSR (web-enabled) in ******* of the calendar **** in which the fees apply, based on TWC’s direction.
