,4g* CenturyLink® <br /> November 19, 2015 <br /> Mr. Michael R. Bradley <br /> Bradley Hagen & Gullikson, LLC <br /> 1976 Wooddale Drive, Suite 3A <br /> Woodbury, MN 55125 <br /> Re: Voluntary Commitments <br /> Dear Mr. Bradley: <br /> The purpose of this Letter is to set forth voluntary commitments by Qwest Broadband <br /> Services, Inc. d/b/a CenturyLink ("QBSI") to the North Suburban Communication Commission <br /> (the "Commission") and its Member Cities (the "Member Cities") that are in addition to the <br /> obligations contained in the Franchise Agreement, to be adopted by each Member City and <br /> executed by QBSI (hereinafter the "Franchise"). The items set forth below have been <br /> negotiated in good faith and mutually agreed to by the parties. QBSI agrees that at no time shall <br /> it be permitted to in any way offset from franchise fee payments owed the City or pass through <br /> as a separate line item on Subscriber bills any costs associated with the voluntary commitments <br /> set forth within. <br /> 1. Complimentary Prism Cable Service. This letter will confirm that any City/Member <br /> City/Commission will not need to purchase separate internet service or any equipment <br /> in order to receive complimentary cable service from QBSI as set forth in the Franchise. <br /> The City/Member City/Commission will be allowed to choose any QBSI converter <br /> equipment for its complimentary equipment. <br /> 2. Simulcasting PEG Channels. This letter will confirm that QBSI may simulcast the <br /> City/Member City's PEG channels in high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD). <br /> QBSI may simulcast the PEG channels in other formats provided from the City/Member <br /> City to QBSI. Simulcasting does not change the number of PEG channels being provided <br /> under each Franchise. For example, if the City is provided nine (9) PEG channels in the <br /> Franchise, QBSI may simulcast each of the 9 PEG channels in HD, and SD. <br /> 3. Cost Reimbursement. To the extent the Commission's expenses exceeded the <br /> franchise application fee, QBSI will fully reimburse the City for all of its reasonable costs <br /> and expenses within 60 days of granting the Franchise. <br /> 100 CenturyLink Drive <br /> Monroe,LA 71203 <br /> www.centurylink.com <br />
