This provision shall terminate and have no force or effect after March 31, 2014.
 
5.            Early Terminated Subscriptions.

5.1               Background.During the course of deploying the program under the MSA, certain subscriptions of a number of XSS Customers in the Western Division were erroneously terminated by Comcast prior to their intended termination date of December 4, 2013 (such subscriptions, the “Early Terminated Subscriptions” or “ETS”).  As a result, the Parties’ reporting systems identify ETS as inactive.  Comcast hereby confirms its prior instructions to Support.com to continue providing Services for ETS through December 4, 2013, in accordance with the provisions of Program Description Number 1 and the Agreement, as follows:

5.2                Early Terminated Subscriptions.    Comcast has provided a list of ETS to Support.com.  Notwithstanding the Parties’ reporting systems with respect to ETS, Support.com shall continue to provide Services for the ETS through their actual termination date of December 4, 2013; and Support.com will invoice Comcast, and Comcast shall remit payment to Support.com, for the Support.com Fees payable for ETS, in accordance with the provisions of Program Description Number 1 and the Agreement.

Please indicate Comcast’s acceptance and agreement with the terms of this Letter Agreement by countersigning below.

Sincerely,

 
Support.com, Inc.
