Electronic Programming Guide CenturyLink will provide EPG capabilities to each member city (similar to Comcast). Channel Placement CenturyLink will make all Access Channels accessible at Channel 40 through the "Quad Cities Mosaic." PEG Support CenturyLink will pay a PEG Fee in support of the Access Channels of 3% of gross cable revenues (equivalent to the amount of PEG funding Comcast passes through to its subscribers). Area Served The Franchise Area is the entire boundary of each member city. Market success-based expansion. Build-Out Complete Build-Out Goal Goal is to Build-Out each member city entirely over a five (5) year term based on market success,with significant investment targeted to areas below the median income. Initial Minimum Built-Out Commitment 15% of each member city over two years: • Best effort to complete the initial deployment in a shorter period of time. • Equitable deployment to households throughout each member city. • Must include a significant number of households below the median income. • CenturyLink permitted to serve more households. Quarterly Meetings Starting this year, CenturyLink must meet with the Commission and show: • Number of households capable of being served and actually served. • Compliance with anti-redlining requirements. • Maps and documentation showing exactly where within the City the Grantee is currently providing cable service. Additional Build-Out Based on Market Success Build-Out commitment increases if penetration rate is at least 27.5% in the areas that it is offering service. • Example: If offering service to 60% of the member city and CenturyLink has penetration of 30% of that area,then the Build-Out commitment will increase 15% to 75% of the member city. • Additional Build-Out commitment continues until all households served. 486160v2 QU210-6 2
