Charter that Charter disputed.

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT
Charter operates a cable system in the City of Troy and pays franchise fees pursuant to a
franchise agreement. As the result of an audit covering the period January 1, 2009 to December
31, 2018, the City found that Charter had underpaid its franchise fees during the audit period.
The City claimed against Charter. Charter denied all liability. Through long negotiations, the
parties reached an accord.
Under the terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement, the total amount of the
Settlement is $431,791.00. Charter shall submit an initial payment to the City of $ 215,896.00
within thirty days following the execution of the Agreement by both parties, and the City shall
immediately withdraw its complaint filed with the Public Service Commission. In addition,
Charter shall submit a second payment of $215,895.00 to the City within thirty days following
approval and execution by the City and Charter of a mutually agreed renewal of Charter’s cable
television franchise. The two payments will fully and forever settle all past claims of the City for
franchise fees through the end of the audit period, December 31, 2018. Slightly less than one
third of the gross settlement amount will be payable to Troy & Banks, LLC, the City’s cable
franchise consultant and auditor.
Charter has agreed that if the parties mutually approve and execute a renewal of Charter’s
cable television franchise agreement with the City within ninety days of the effective date of the
Settlement and Release Agreement, Charter will not attempt to recover the Settlement Amount
from subscribers as a line item on their bills. But if such a renewal is not approved within ninety
days of the effective date, Charter may avail itself of any and all rights it has under applicable
law to recover the Settlement Amount as a line item on subscribers’ bills. Also, Charter states
that it has revised its payment practices since the audit period.
The recommendation to settle this case is a business decision taken in full consideration
of the defenses available to Charter, including statute of limitations, and the City’s proof of its
claims. The underpayment claim has been pending since at least 2015, with many protracted and
unavailing negotiations. The current settlement proposal is far more substantial and reasonable
than Charter or its predecessor TWC ever offered before. It provides certainty, finality, and
much needed revenue to the City without the expenditures and risks of litigation. Charter
understands that the proposed settlement is conditioned upon approval of the City Council and
the Mayor. If the terms of the settlement are not approved and fully executed, the parties will
continue the case at the PSC and likely commence litigation in Supreme Court.
ORD76
SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
This Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) is made this ___
day of ___________, 2020 (“Effective Date”) by and among the City of Troy, New York (the
“City”) and Spectrum Northeast, LLC, locally known as Charter Communications (“Charter”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Charter operates a cable system in the City and pays franchise fees pursuant
to a franchise agreement between the parties (the “Franchise”);
WHEREAS, the City conducted an audit of the franchise fee payments made by Charter
for the period from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018 (the “Audit Period”) and concluded
that Charter underpaid franchise fees for the Audit Period. Charter disputed the claim and
arrived at a different conclusion than the City;
WHEREAS, Charter states that it has revised its payment practices for periods following
the Audit Period to comport with this Settlement Agreement;
WHEREAS, Charter agrees to submit payment to the City in the amount of four hundred
thirty one thousand seven hundred ninety one dollars ($431,791) to forever settle past claims on
franchise fees due the City for the Audit Period;
WHEREAS, the City and Charter now desire to conclude, settle, release and discharge
once and forever, all rights, claims, causes of actions, liabilities, disputes and demands relating to
the City’s past claims on franchise fees due the City;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and in consideration of the
mutual promises and obligations hereinafter set forth, and for good and valuable mutual
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties to this
Settlement Agreement hereto agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. SETTLEMENT AMOUNT
The City and Charter have agreed that Charter shall submit a payment of two hundred
fifteen thousand eight hundred and ninety six dollars ($215,896) to the City within thirty (30)
days following the execution of this Agreement by both parties. The City and Charter have
agreed that Charter shall submit a second and final payment of two hundred fifteen thousand

ORD76
eight hundred and ninety five dollars ($215,895) to the City within thirty (30) days following the
approval and execution by the City and Charter of a mutually agreed upon renewal of Charter’s
cable television franchise agreement with the City. The two payments totaling $431,791
(“Settlement Amount”) fully settle all past claims on franchise fees for the Audit Period. It is
expressly understood and agreed that the Settlement Amount represents full and complete
satisfaction and compromise of any and all claims, actions, causes of action, controversies,
demands, damages, debts, agreements, obligations, liabilities, interest, liens, expenses, costs,
attorneys’ fees and demands of any kind or nature, known or unknown, arising out of or in any

Master Services and Purchasing Agreement
This Master Services and Purchasing Agreement (“Agreement”) is between Axon Enterprise, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Axon”), and City of Troy, New York (“Agency”). This Agreement is effective as of the later of the (a)
last signature date on this Agreement or (b) signature date on the Quote (“Effective Date”). Axon and Agency are
each a “Party” and collectively “Parties”. This Agreement governs Agency’s purchase and use of the Axon
Devices and Services detailed in the Quote Appendix (“Quote”). It is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement
act as a master agreement governing all subsequent purchases by Agency for the same Axon products and
services in the Quote, and all such subsequent quotes accepted by Agency shall be also incorporated into this
Agreement by reference as a Quote. The Parties therefore agree as follows:
1 Definitions.
“Axon Cloud Services” means Axon’s web services for Axon Evidence, Axon Records, Axon Dispatch,
and interactions between Evidence.com and Axon Devices or Axon client software. Axon Cloud Service
excludes third-party applications, hardware warranties, and my.evidence.com.
“Axon Device” means all hardware provided by Axon under this Agreement.
“Quote” means an offer to sell and is only valid for devices and services on the quote at the specified
prices. Any terms within Agency’s purchase order in response to a Quote will be void. Orders are subject
to prior credit approval. Changes in the deployment estimated ship date may change charges in the
Quote. Shipping dates are estimates only. Axon is not responsible for typographical errors in any offer by
Axon, and Axon reserves the right to cancel any orders resulting from such errors.
“Services” means all services provided by Axon under this Agreement, including software, Axon Cloud
Services, and professional services.
2 Term. This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues until all subscriptions hereunder have
expired or have been terminated (“Term”).
All subscriptions including Axon Evidence, Axon Fleet, Officer Safety Plans, Technology Assurance
Plans, and TASER 7 plans begin after shipment of the applicable Axon Device. If Axon ships the Axon
Device in the first half of the month, the start date is the 1st of the following month. If Axon ships the Axon
Device in the second half of the month, the start date is the 15th of the following month. For purchases
solely of Axon Evidence subscriptions, the start date is the Effective Date. Each subscription term ends
upon completion of the subscription stated in the Quote (“Subscription Term”).
Upon completion of the Subscription Term, the Subscription Term will automatically renew for an
additional 5 years (“Renewal Term”). For purchase of TASER 7 as a standalone, Axon may increase
pricing to its then-current list pricing for any Renewal Term. For all other purchases, Axon may increase
pricing on all line items in the Quote up to 3% at the beginning of each year of the Renewal Term. New
devices and services may require additional terms. Axon will not authorize services until Axon receives a
signed Quote or accepts a purchase order, whichever is first.
3 Payment. Axon invoices upon shipment. Payment is due net 30 days from the invoice date. Payment
obligations are non-cancelable. Agency will pay invoices without setoff, deduction, or withholding. If Axon
sends a past due account to collections, Agency is responsible for collection and attorneys’ fees.
4 Taxes. Agency is responsible for sales and other taxes associated with the order unless Agency provides
Axon a valid tax exemption certificate.
5 Shipping. Axon may make partial shipments and ship Axon Devices from multiple locations. All
shipments are FOB shipping point via common carrier. Title and risk of loss pass to Agency upon Axon’s
delivery to the common carrier. Agency is responsible for any shipping charges in the Quote.
6 Returns. All sales are final. Axon does not allow refunds or exchanges, except warranty returns or as
provided by state or federal law.

7 Warranty.
7.1 Hardware Limited Warranty. Axon warrants that Axon-manufactured Devices are free from
defects in workmanship and materials for 1 year from the date of Agency’s receipt, except Signal
Sidearm, which Axon warrants for 30 months from the date of Agency’s receipt. Axon warrants its
Axon-manufactured accessories for 90-days from the date of Agency’s receipt. Used conducted
energy weapon (“CEW”) cartridges are deemed to have operated properly. Extended warranties
run from the expiration of the 1-year hardware warranty through the extended warranty term.
Non-Axon manufactured Devices are not covered by Axon’s warranty. Agency should contact the
manufacturer for support of non-Axon manufactured Devices.
7.2 Claims. If Axon receives a valid warranty claim for an Axon manufactured Device during the
warranty term, Axon’s sole responsibility is to repair or replace the Device with the same or like
Device, at Axon’s option. A replacement Axon Device will be new or like new. Axon will warrant
the replacement Axon Device for the longer of (a) the remaining warranty of the original Axon
Device or (b) 90-days from the date of repair or replacement.
If Agency exchanges a device or part, the replacement item becomes Agency’s property, and the
replaced item becomes Axon’s property. Before delivering a Axon Device for service, Agency
must upload Axon Device data to Axon Evidence or download it and retain a copy. Axon is not
responsible for any loss of software, data, or other information contained in storage media or any
part of the Axon Device sent to Axon for service.
7.3 Spare Axon Devices. Axon may provide Agency a predetermined number of spare Axon
Devices as detailed in the Quote (“Spare Axon Devices”). Spare Axon Devices will replace
broken or non-functioning units. If Agency utilizes a Spare Axon Device, Agency must return to
Axon, through Axon’s warranty return process, any broken or non-functioning units. Axon will
repair or replace the unit with a replacement Axon Device. Upon termination, Axon will invoice
Agency the MSRP then in effect for all Spare Axon Devices provided. If Agency returns the Spare
Axon Devices to Axon within 30 days of the invoice date, Axon will issue a credit and apply it
against the invoice.
7.4 Limitations. Axon’s warranty excludes damage related to: (a) failure to follow Axon Device use
instructions; (b) Axon Devices used with equipment not manufactured or recommended by Axon;
(c) abuse, misuse, or intentional damage to Axon Device; (d) force majeure; (e) Axon Devices
repaired or modified by persons other than Axon without Axon’s written permission; or (f) Axon
Devices with a defaced or removed serial number.
7.4.1 To the extent permitted by law, the above warranties and remedies are exclusive.
Axon disclaims all other warranties, remedies, and conditions, whether oral,
written, statutory, or implied. If statutory or implied warranties cannot be lawfully
disclaimed, then such warranties are limited to the duration of the warranty
described above and by the provisions in this Agreement.
7.4.2 Axon’s cumulative liability to any Party for any loss or damage resulting from any
claim, demand, or action arising out of or relating to any Axon Device or Service
will not exceed the purchase price paid to Axon for the Axon Device, or if for
Services, the amount paid for such Services over the 12 months preceding the
claim. Neither Party will be liable for direct, special, indirect, incidental, punitive or
consequential damages, however caused, whether for breach of warranty or
contract, negligence, strict liability, tort or any other legal theory.
8 Statement of Work. Certain Axon Devices and Services, including Axon Interview Room, Axon Channel
Services, and Axon Fleet, may require a Statement of Work that details Axon’s Service deliverables
(“SOW”). In the event Axon provides an SOW to Agency, Axon is only responsible to perform Services
described in the SOW. Additional services are out of scope. The Parties must document scope changes
in a written and signed change order. Changes may require an equitable adjustment in fees or schedule.

insurance. Upon request, Axon will supply certificates of insurance.
13 Indemnification. Axon will indemnify Agency’s officers, directors, and employees (“Agency

misconduct, or claims under workers compensation.

suggestions to Axon, including all related intellectual property rights. Agency will not cause any Axon
proprietary rights to be violated.
15 IP Indemnification. Axon will indemnify Agency Indemnitees against all claims, losses, and reasonable
expenses from any third-party claim alleging that the use of Axon Devices or Services infringes or
misappropriates the third-party’s intellectual property rights. Agency must promptly provide Axon with
written notice of such claim, tender to Axon the defense or settlement of such claim at Axon’s expense
and cooperate fully with Axon in the defense or settlement of such claim. Axon’s IP indemnification

third-party not approved by Axon; (b) use of Axon Devices and Services in combination with hardware or

terminates this Agreement due to Axon’s uncured breach, Axon will refund prepaid amounts on a
prorated basis based on the effective date of termination.
17.2 By Agency. If sufficient funds are not appropriated or otherwise legally available to pay the fees,
Agency may terminate this Agreement. Agency will deliver notice of termination under this
section as soon as reasonably practicable.
17.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Agency rights immediately
terminate. Agency remains responsible for all fees incurred before the effective date of

Agency the difference between the MSRP for Axon Devices received and amounts paid towards
those Axon Devices. Only if terminating for non-appropriation, Agency may return Axon Devices
to Axon within 30 days of termination. MSRP is the standalone price of the individual Axon Device

dissemination, or unauthorized use of the other Party’s Confidential Information. Unless required by law,

Agency on upgrading Agency’s Axon Aware to better meet Agency’s needs.

only within the operating range of the networks. Service may be temporarily refused, interrupted,
or limited because of: (a) facilities limitations; (b) transmission limitations caused by atmospheric,
terrain, other natural or artificial conditions adversely affecting transmission, weak batteries,
system overcapacity, movement outside a service area or gaps in coverage in a service area and
other causes reasonably outside of the carrier’s control such as intentional or negligent acts of

upgrades, relocations, repairs, and other similar activities necessary for the proper or improved
operation of service.
With regard to Axon Body 3, Partner networks are made available as-is and the carrier makes no
warranties or representations as to the availability or quality of roaming service provided by
carrier partners, and the carrier will not be liable in any capacity for any errors, outages, or
failures of carrier partner networks. Agency expressly understands and agrees that it has no
contractual relationship whatsoever with the underlying wireless service provider or its affiliates or
contractors and Agency is not a third-party beneficiary of any agreement between Axon and the
underlying carrier.

bundles that include Axon Aware, Axon will end Aware services, including any Axon-provided
