McKinney Street Denton, TX 76201 Dear Mr. Watt, Our current contract with City of Denton expires on June 18, 2020. We’d like to extend the contract for one (1) year with a rate increase of 1.90%, based upon the CPI index that USIC utilizes. In addition to this, we seek to normalize our rate schedule for by making the following changes: x Adding a rate for Emergency Locates performed during Normal Business Hours: Rationale o The rate for emergency locates during normal hours is higher because our technicians must drop everything they’re doing on their regular route and immediately respond to the emergency ticket (2-hour completion requirement). o Time is added along with truck mileage. In some cases, this can cause other customer tickets to go late, which can lead to performance fines/penalties that exceed the Emergency Ticket, Normal Hours rate we’re proposing. The higher rate is used as an offset to these added costs. x Adjusting the Per Hour for locate exceeding 8 Hrs to 2 Hours: Rationale o 30 mins per locate is standard. 1 hour is a step above, 2 hours is generous, 8 hours is beyond acceptable levels and must be corrected, per our internal contract compliance mandate. o Fiber Per Ticket for extra locating time and Watch & Protect would change from the ¼ Hour measurement to our Per Hour standard after 1 Hour and carry the same rate as Electric. Current rates and proposed rates are included in the table. Billing Item Previous Rate New Rate for ‘20 Electric Per Ticket $12.32 $12.55 Per Hour for locates exceeding 2 Hours $46.97 $47.86 Watch & Protect per Hour $46.97 $47.86 Emergency Ticket, Normal Hours n/a $25.10 After Hours per 1/4 Hour $12.32 $12.55 Fiber Per Ticket $10.44 $10.64 Per Hour for locates exceeding 1 Hour $11.75 old $47.86 Watch & Protect per Hour $11.75 old $47.86 Emergency Ticket, Normal Hours n/a $21.30 After Hours per 1/4 Hour $10.44 $10.64       USICLLC.com | 9045 North River Road, Suite 300 | Indianapolis, IN 46240 USIC has worked diligently to control costs and we’ve had success holding rates down in recent years. Rapidly increasing costs associated with hiring and retaining qualified workers is the main factor in this year’s rate changes. USIC is working right now to maintain our workforce in what remains a competitive environment. We appreciate your business. Please let me know if you have any questions about these requested changes.

Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of this document. Getting paper copies At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below. Consequences of changing your mind If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.
