This Fifty-seventh Amendment (the “Amendment”) is made by and between CSG Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CSG”), and Charter Communications Operating, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Customer”). CSG and Customer entered into that certain Consolidated CSG Master Subscriber Management System Agreement effective as of August 1, 2017 (CSG document no. 4114281), as amended (the “Agreement”), and now desire to further amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment. If the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment are in conflict with the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall control. Any terms in initial capital letters or all capital letters used as a defined term but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. Upon execution of this Amendment by the Parties, any subsequent reference to the Agreement between the Parties shall mean the Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Except as amended by this Amendment, the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect according to their terms.
WHEREAS, CSG and Customer wish to extend the Term of the Agreement, provide financial consideration for the extension of the Term and to modify certain terms that are a condition of the extension of the Term.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, CSG and Customer agree to the following as of the Amendment Effective Date (defined below), unless an alternate date is otherwise agreed in a subsection below:
Exhibit 10.26AW
“Term” means the Initial Term, Subsequent Term, and the Additional Term, if applicable.
Customer Property. All documents, data and files necessary to provide billing services to Customer’s subscribers which are provided to CSG hereunder by Customer, including the result of CSG’s processing of the foregoing (“Customer Data”), are and shall remain Customer’s property, and upon request of Customer for any reason or Deconversion of any Connected Subscriber, such Customer Data shall be returned to Customer by CSG provided that Customer will pay all unpaid charges for any Deconverted Connected Subscriber. Customer Data to be returned to Customer includes: Subscriber Master File (including Work Orders, Converters and General Ledger), Computer-Produced Reports (reflecting activity during a period of ninety (90) days immediately prior to termination), House Master File, and any other related data or files held by CSG on behalf of Customer, all of which will be in its standard deconversion format (including available historical data) unless another format is reasonably requested by Customer. Following the Deconversion of any Connected Subscriber, CSG will maintain the Customer Data with respect to such Deconverted Connected Subscriber for no less than twenty-four (24) months in such format that will permit CSG to comply with this Section 2.7(b). Such Customer Data will be provided subject to CSG’s reasonable, standard fees for such services, or other mutually-agreed fees. Customer Data will not be utilized by CSG for any purpose other than those purposes related to preparing, offering or rendering the Services to Customer under this Agreement.
Exhibit 10.26AW
CSG shall provide an additional [*** ******** **** ******* (*****) ***** of Technical Services ********], which Customer may utilize for consulting, implementation, project management, training, and other mutually agreeable tasks (including development services, but not including any activity for which a specific fixed charge is identified in Schedule F of the Agreement, as amended, or any SOW, LOA or TSR) for use by Customer’s information technology and customer care department or, upon the approval of a Group Vice President Billing, Strategy and Operations or equivalent of Customer, any other Customer department (the “Additional Technical Service Hours [******]”). Any Additional Technical Service Hours [******] not used in the [******** ****] in which it is provided shall be forfeited as it may not be carried over to a subsequent [******** ****]. The charges for all Technical Services provided by CSG during the Term will first be applied against the Additional Technical Service Hours Credit and then against the Technical Service Hours Credit unless expressly agreed by a Group Vice President Billing, Strategy and Operations Vice President or equivalent of Customer pursuant to an applicable Statement of Work or other document as provided in this Agreement.
. Customer shall pay undisputed, unpaid amounts due hereunder within [********** (**) ****] after the date of invoice. Any amount not paid within [********** (**) ****] after the date of invoice shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of [*** and ******** percent (***]%) per month, not compounded, and the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Customer shall pay all amounts due in United States currency. For an invoice (including parts of an invoice) to be considered “disputed”: (a) Customer will notify CSG in writing (including by email) to the attention of a member of the CSG billing department and (b) such dispute must be in good faith. Neither Customer’s failure to dispute the accuracy of any invoice within [********** (**) ****] of the invoice date, nor Customer’s payment of any invoice, shall be deemed to constitute Customer’s agreement to the accuracy of the amounts charged therein.
CSG and Customer agree the [****** Adjustment to Fees scheduled for ******* **** shall be ******], excluding any necessary adjustments to Fees for Materials. Effective [******* ** ****, and for each year during the Term, all fees included in this Agreement, except ********* as defined below, shall be increased ******** by the ****** ** (x) ****** ******* (**%) of an amount equal to the ******* ******* of the ******** ****** (**) ******], prior to CSG’s notice, of the published (“CPI”) Consumers Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Items, U.S. City Average 1982-1984, published by the U.S. Department of Labor or any successor index (“[****** Adjustment to Fees”) or (y) ***** ******* (*]%).
Exhibit 10.26AW
In the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement, this Agreement (other than Customer’s conversion, exclusivity and minimum fee obligations) shall remain in full force and effect until the last Connected Subscriber is Deconverted. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, Customer shall be authorized to exercise all of its rights and licenses under Section 2 and CSG shall be required to perform all Services contemplated in this Agreement with respect to each Deconverted Connected Subscriber until such time as such Connected Subscriber is Deconverted. Upon the Deconversion of all Connected Subscribers, all rights granted to Customer under this Agreement (or the relevant rights applicable to a portion of the Agreement) with respect to the terminated Products, Deliverables and Services will cease, and Customer will promptly (i) purge all terminated Software from the Designated Environment and all of Customer’s other computer systems, storage media and other files; (ii) destroy the Product(s) and all copies thereof; (iii) deliver to CSG an affidavit which certifies that Customer has complied with these termination obligations; and (iv) pay to CSG all undisputed fees that are due, invoiced, and unpaid pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may retain one copy of the Software, Products and Deliverables with its legal counsel solely to provide a record of such Software for archival purposes. For purposes of this Agreement, “Deconvert” (and derivations) refers to the act of removing a Connected Subscriber from Customer’s Subscriber Master File and Ledger Activity Report. Once a Connected Subscriber is Deconverted, it will no longer be counted as a Connected Subscriber for purposes of Schedule F.
6.2 Transition Assistance
. Provided that Customer has paid CSG any and all then-owed undisputed, invoiced, and unpaid fees and expenses due hereunder as of the date of termination, expiration or transfer (as applicable), upon (a) expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement by either Party for any reason, or (b) Customer’s transfer of Connected Subscribers to a third party, CSG will promptly provide Customer with all Deconversion and Transition Assistance reasonably requested by Customer (which may include, for example, Customer Data and for the fees provided in Schedule F, continued billing services, Products, Services and support, if requested, until such time as the Deconverted Connected Subscribers are active and enabled for billing through a successor billing platform) until the earlier of expiration of the Term or the effective date of termination, provided however Customer shall not be entitled to the [********** ********* ***** on a *** ** *** ***** for any *********** ********* ***********]. In addition, provided Customer has paid CSG any and all then-owed undisputed, invoiced, and unpaid fees and expenses due hereunder as of the effective date of termination or expiration (as applicable), Customer shall have the option of requesting Transition Assistance (which may include, for example, Customer Data and, for the fees provided in Schedule F, continued billing services, Products, Services and support, if requested, until such time as the Deconverted Connected Subscribers are active and enabled for billing through a successor billing platform) for [******-**** (**) ******] from the date
Exhibit 10.26AW
of such expiration or effective date of termination (“Transition Assistance Period”); subject to the following conditions being met:
Unless otherwise provided as a result of Customer exercising its option to a Transition Assistance Period, all transition assistance will be provided to Customer at the applicable rates in Schedule F, provided however, CSG shall use [************ ********** ******* to ****** ** ********* ** ***** to its ****, except for ****] related to the provision of Products and Services as provided in Schedule F, for high volume deconversion projects. Such Deconversion and Transition Assistance shall include and be limited to, unless otherwise agreed pursuant to a Statement of Work: (a) the right to receive up to [***** (*) **** of the ******** ********** ****** **** ****] during the Deconversion process and the [***** (**) ***] period thereafter; and (b) [********* ******] to a subject matter expert to answer Customer’s questions for [**** (*) ****], which need not be consecutive, during normal business hours (8:00 am – 5:00 pm Central). In all cases, CSG will provide all Customer Data in CSG’s possession in its standard deconversion format (including available historical data) unless another format is reasonably requested by Customer subject to reasonable additional fees. Without limiting
Exhibit 10.26AW
the foregoing, the Parties agree that CSG will prepare and provide to Customer deconversion files upon the request of Customer; provided, however, that CSG may hold any deconversion files requested by Customer for any purpose other than a Deconversion in accordance with this Agreement for a period of up to [**** (*) ****] after the effective cutoff date of such deconversion files (“Transition Assistance”). Customer shall not receive a second set of deconversion files for the same set of system principals, which set of deconversion files will reasonably enable Customer to Deconvert and transition to another billing provider, until either (x) Customer has paid the Basic Services Charge with respect to the Minimum Commitment and the Subsequent Term Minimum Commitment or (y) this Agreement has expired or been terminated (or a termination notice has been served) and Customer has fulfilled its obligations to pay any applicable Termination Liability or payment obligations provided in Section 1.2 Term for the Additional Term as applicable.
6.4 Discontinuance Fee
. (a) Non-Print and Mail Processing. The Parties have mutually agreed upon the fees for non-Print and Mail Products and Services provided hereunder based upon certain assumed volumes of business activity, and the Term of this Agreement. Customer understands that without the certainty of revenue promised by the commitments set forth in this Agreement, CSG would have been unwilling to provide the Products and Services in accordance with the terms set forth herein. Because of the difficulty in ascertaining CSG’s actual damages for a termination of this Agreement by Customer without cause or other breach of this Agreement by Customer resulting in termination of this Agreement by CSG, Customer agrees that, upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety for reasons other than by a Party pursuant to section [****] or by Customer pursuant to section [***(*), (*), (*) or (*]), in addition to all other amounts then due and owing to CSG for Products and Services previously rendered, Customer will pay to CSG (as a liquidated damage and not as a penalty) an amount equal to (i) the [***** ******** ****** (“***”) ********** by (ii) the *********** ******* of the ********** **** ******* **********] or during the Additional Term, the payment obligations provided in Section 1.2, Term (the “Termination Discontinuance Fee (Processing)”). Customer agrees that such amount is a reasonable estimation of the actual damages which CSG would suffer if CSG were to fail to receive the business contemplated in this Agreement. The Parties agree that, excluding any other undisputed amounts due and owing to CSG at the time of such breach, the liquidated damages for non-Print and Mail Products and Services set forth in this section 6.4 shall be available to CSG only as set forth expressly in this subsection (a) to section 6.4, and such liquidated damages shall be CSG’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or equity for termination of this Agreement prior to the Term. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties hereby confirm that Customer has met the Minimum Commitment prior to the end of the Initial Term.
(b) Print and Mail. The Parties have mutually agreed upon the fees for Print and Mail Services provided hereunder based upon certain assumed volumes of business activity, exclusivity restrictions and the Term of this Agreement. Customer understands that without the certainty of revenue promised by the commitments set forth in this Agreement, CSG would have been unwilling to provide the Print and Mail Services in accordance with the terms set forth herein.
Exhibit 10.26AW
Because of the difficulty in ascertaining CSG’s actual damages for a termination of this Agreement by Customer without cause or other breach of this Agreement by Customer resulting in termination of this Agreement by CSG, Customer agrees that, upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety for reasons other than by a Party pursuant to section [****] or by Customer pursuant to section [***(*), (*), (*) or (*]), in addition to all other amounts then due and owing to CSG for Print and Mail Services previously rendered, Customer will pay to CSG (as a liquidated damage and not as a penalty) an amount equal to (i) [********’* ******* ******* ***** ******** **** ****** during the *** (*) ****** immediately preceding the *********** **** ********** by (ii) the *** of the ************ ***** ******** **** ********* ********** **** provided in Schedule F **** the ********** ***** ********** **** provided in Schedule F ********** by (iii) the ********* ******] in the Term (the “Termination Discontinuance Fee (Print and Mail)”). Customer agrees that such amount is a reasonable estimation of the actual damages which CSG would suffer if CSG were to fail to receive the business contemplated in this Agreement. The Parties agree that, excluding any other undisputed amounts due and owing to CSG at the time of such breach, the liquidated damages for Print and Mail Services set forth in this section 6.4 shall be available to CSG only as set forth expressly in this subsection (b) to section 6.4, and such liquidated damages shall be CSG’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or equity for termination of this Agreement prior to the Term.
9.2 No Consequential Damages/Limitation of Liability.
(a) Except for the Parties’ [************ *************** *********** and *************** *********** (excluding a ******** ****** *****]), under no circumstances will either party be liable to the other party for any consequential, indirect, special, punitive or incidental damages or lost profits, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, based on claims or those of its customers, arising out of breach or failure of express or implied warranty, breach of contract, misrepresentation, negligence, strict liability in tort or otherwise. For purposes of this Section 9.2, a [******** ****** ***** shall mean the ************ ********** or ************ ****** to ******* ******** *********** or ******* ** ******** ******* as a result of ***** ********* of the terms provided in ******* **** ********** ************ with ******* ** ******* ******** ***********, **** **** ********, **** **** ****** ******** or **** ******* *** ******** *******].
(b) Except for [******* ********, the Parties’ ************ *************** ***********, any ****** of the ******* ************ provided in ******* ***, ********** **** *** and *****, and the ******** described in ******** *, in no event will the aggregate liability that either Party incurs to the other Party under the Agreement exceed the amounts actually paid or ******* by ******** under the Consolidated Agreements and the Agreement **** *** **** ****** ****** (**) ******* ****** preceding the claim (excluding any ******* ****, ******* or **** ******** of ******** hereunder for *********** ********* and any ******* **** in ******* of **** ****** prior to such ****** (**) *****] period “Liability Limit”)). CSG and Customer agree [******** ****** ***** *********** ******** of ********** *************, **** ****** *******, *** **** ** ******
Exhibit 10.26AW
********** and ***** ** ****** *******], not subject to the limitations set forth in subsection (a), but rather subject to the terms of this subsection (b).
(c) The existence of one or more separate events resulting in liability under this Article 9 or Article 10 shall not enlarge the foregoing limitation of liability, provided that in the event of a claim or claims triggering the [*************** *********** hereunder for cumulative liability that exceeds ************ percent (**%) of Liability Limit permitted under Section 9.2(b) (the “***** *******”), such Liability Limit for ********** ****** shall thereafter ** ***** ** ******** (*/*) of its *********** ******** ****** and ****** ***** ***** **** *** ***** ** ********* **** ********* **** ******* ****** ** *** ***** within ***** (**) **** after both Parties have knowledge of the occurrence of the ***** *******, with no *********** ********* and subject to ********** ***** ** ********** **********] in accordance with Section 6.2.
(d) The aforementioned exclusions and limitations of damages shall be independent of, and shall survive, any failure of the essential purpose of any warranty or limited remedy stated herein, and shall apply even if a party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Despite the foregoing exclusion and limitation, this Section 9.2 will not apply to the extent that applicable law specifically requires liability, any breach of the license restrictions provided in Section 2.2, or to any obligation to pay the Termination Discontinuance Fee (Print and Mail), Termination Discontinuance Fee (Processing), Assignment Discontinuance Fee (Print and Mail) or the Assignment Discontinuance Fee (Non-Print and Mail).
12.3 Print and Mail [***********]
. (a) During the Term of this Agreement, the Parties agree that CSG shall be Customer’s [**** *** ********* ********] of Print and Mail Services for Connected Subscribers. Further, CSG and Customer agree CSG shall be Customer’s [**** *** ********* ********] of Print and Mail Services for any acquired subscribers for which CSG provided print and mail services prior to acquisition which are substantially similar to the Print and Mail Services provided under this Agreement. If during the Term or any extension thereof, Customer acquires subscribers receiving print and mail services from an entity other than CSG prior to acquisition, Customer agrees such subscribers shall be migrated to CSG’s Print and Mail Services as soon as commercially reasonable after the termination or expiration of the agreement with such entity, but in no event later than [****** (**) ****] after such agreement has terminated or expired. In the event Customer identifies a technical issue that exists or arises within the aforementioned [****** (**) ****] and which jeopardizes such migration to CSG’s Print and Mail Services as provided herein, the Chief Information Officers of each Party or their designees (in the case of Customer, the Group Vice President Billing, Strategy and Operations or equivalent and in the case of CSG, the Vice President of the Strategic Business Unit) shall meet within [*** (**) ******** ****] to provide a mutually agreeable solution and timeframe for such migration, which shall not exceed [****** (**) ******]. The Parties agree the terms of this Section 12.3 Print and Mail [***********] shall only be applicable to Affiliates (as defined in Schedule A) that Customer Controls (as defined in Schedule A). The Parties agree that solely for the purpose of this Section 12.3 Print and Mail [***********] and Schedule F under the Minimum Commitment, Subsequent Term Minimum
Exhibit 10.26AW
Commitment and Additional Term as applicable, Print and Mail Services shall include and be limited to statement composition and the printing and mailing, through the United States Postal Service (“USPS”), of Customer’s monthly billing statements for video, high speed data and residential and commercial voice services.
(b) In the event of a breach of this section 12.3, Customer agrees to pay, in addition to all other amounts then due and owing to CSG, an amount equal to [*** ********** ******* **** *** ***** **** **** ******** ** ******* ***** **** ********* *** ******** *** ******** ** ******** this section 12.3 and Customer shall use its ************ ********** ******* ** **** **** ********* or ****** ** **** ** ** ***********]. In addition, Customer agrees to notify CSG within a commercially reasonable time of Customer’s discovery that it is not in compliance with the terms of this section 12.3 Print and Mail [***********] of this Agreement. Said notice shall include the number of additional subscribers and the date they were acquired by Customer. Further, the Parties agree that CSG shall not terminate this Agreement for a breach of this section, unless Customer has not made payment in accordance with Article 5, “Payment Terms,” of this Agreement.
12.7 Sale of Assets.
In the event that Customer sells, divests or otherwise transfers all or substantially all of its assets, or Charter becomes subject to a change of Control, prior to the expiration of the then current Term to an unrelated third party (a “Successor Entity”), Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign or transfer this Agreement to the Successor Entity. In the event that such Successor Entity does not assume this Agreement, regardless of whether by contract or operation of law, or otherwise include the Connected Subscribers under this Agreement in such Successor Entity’s separate agreement with CSG, which must be executed within [*** (*) ****** of Customer’s change of Control, ****** ***** *** ********* **** *********] and Customer agrees to pay to CSG (as a liquidated damage and not as a penalty), in addition to any other undisputed amounts due under this Agreement, an amount equal to the product of: (i) the then [********** *** ********** ** (ii) the *********** ******* ** *** ******* ********** and the ********** **** ******* ********** ********** ** (iii) *******-**** ******* (**]%) (for purposes of this Section 12.7 the “Assignment Discontinuance Fee (Non-Print and Mail)”). For clarification, the Parties agree Customer’s payment obligations provided in Section 1.2 Term shall apply to the Additional Term in the event of a sale as provided herein during the Additional Term. In addition to the Assignment Discontinuance Fee (Non-Print and Mail), Customer agrees to pay CSG (as a liquidated damage and not as a penalty), an amount equal to (i) [********’* ******* ******* ***** ******** **** ****** ****** the *** (*) ****** *********** ********* the *********** **** ********** ** (ii) the *** ** *** ************ ***** ******** **** ********* ********** **** provided in Schedule F **** the ********** ***** ********** **** provided in Schedule F ********** ** (iii) the ********* ****** ** *** **** ********** ** (iv) ************ ******* (**]%) (for purposes of this Section 12.7 the “Assignment Discontinuance Fee (Print and Mail)”). Customer agrees that such amounts are a reasonable estimation of the actual damages which CSG would suffer if CSG were to fail to receive the business contemplated in this Agreement as a result of events occurring under this section 12.7.
Exhibit 10.26AW
In the event that CSG sells, divests or otherwise transfers all or substantially all of its assets, or CSG otherwise becomes subject to a change of Control, CSG shall assign or transfer this Agreement to the transferee upon notice to Customer and Customer will consent to such notice in advance; provided, however, if such assignment or transfer will be made to any [******** **** ********* *******, ******** ******* ********, ******** ****** ********, or ********* ******** (e.g., ****, *******, ***********, *********, ***, ********, *****, ******, ***, *******, and ****], in each case to the extent such entities participate in the foregoing commercial sectors), or with any of their Affiliates or successors (each a “Charter Competitor”), CSG may not assign or transfer this Agreement without the consent of Customer, which will not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. If CSG assigns this Agreement to, or becomes subject to the direct or indirect control of, any Charter Competitor, and Customer has a reasonable basis for objecting to such assignment, Customer may terminate this Agreement at any time within the [****** (**) ***** period following such assignment or change of Control and convert the Connected Subscribers to another provider, with no *********** ********* ** ***].
“Subsequent Term Minimum Commitment” means [************* Subscriber Months during the ********** ****], each as may be adjusted in accordance with the Agreement.
“Subsequent Term” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.2.
[********** ********* *****]
As an [********* to ******* ***********] to CSG from a vendor other than CSG and thus make such subscribers Connected Subscribers under this Agreement (for purposes of the [********** *********] ***** and the BSC Rate Table, the “Converted Connected Subscribers”), CSG agrees, unless otherwise provided in Schedule F, "Fees," under the BSC Rate Table, to provide Customer with an [********* ***** equal to $****** *** ***** for **** ********* ********* ********** (“********** ********* *****”) identified in ******** * ******* *. (*) ********** ********. The ********** ********* ***** shall be payable with respect to **** ********* ********* ********** identified in ******** * ******* *. (*) ********** ******** in **** ***** from the ***** in which the applicable subscriber becomes a Connected Subscriber through ******** **, ****, ** *** ** ******** *** ** * ********** ***** as provided in ******** *, ******* *. (*) ********** ***** (“********* ****”), and such ******* ****** will be ******* ** ** ******* ****** ******* ********'* **** for the ************* ******* in which the subscribers became Connected Subscribers. Upon the expiration of the ********* ****, the ********** ********* ***** shall cease. ********** ********* ***** ******* ******* may be ********** as ********** ********** *********** for which the subscriber becomes a Connected Subscriber through the end of the **** ******** **** in which the ********** ********* ***** is applicable. The ********** ********* ***** may only be ****** ******* the end of the **** ******** **** and will no longer be applicable to subscriber conversions that occur after ******** **, ****. The ********** ********* ***** is only applicable to ********* ********* *********** identified in ******** * ******* *. (*) ********** ********. For clarification purposes, ********* *********
Exhibit 10.26AW
*********** shall not include ******** *********** which ******** ****** under this Agreement for the ********* ** ***** *** **** ********].
Example 1: If there were [*** ******* (*********) ********* ********* *********** in ****** ****, then CSG would provide a ********** ********* ***** ******* ******* ****** of $********** (********* ********* ********* *********** x $******) which will be applied as a ******* ******* ****** in the ********* ******* (i.e., the **** ******* ******* in which they are ******** ** ********* ***********) and continuing each month at the same amount through the ********* ****].
Example 2: If there were an [********** **** ******* ******** (*******) ********* ********* *********** in ********* ****, then CSG would provide an ********** ********** ********* ***** ******* ******* ****** of $********* (******* x $******) which will be applied as a ******* ******* ****** in the ******* ******* and ********** **** ***** at the same amount through the ********* ****, resulting in an ********* ********** ********* ***** ******* ******* ****** of $**********].
CSG provides Customer the [********** ********* ***** for the *********** ********* pursuant to the terms of the ********* ** **** entitled “************ **** ********** ** ******* *********** ** ******** ********** ********” (CSG#*******) and shall ******** ** ** ** ******* *** ********* ****. CSG shall have the right to ****** *** ********** ********* ***** ********* ******* ******* ****** ************* **** the ********* ********* **** in the event that Customer ******* ** ********** (as ************ ** ******* ********* below) any Connected Subscribers. Such ********* ** *** ********** ********* ***** ********* ******* ******* ****** will be calculated by *********** the ****** ****** ** ******** ** *********** ********* *********** at the time of *********** by $****** and ******** *** ********* ******* ******* ****** ********** **** *** ********** ********* ***** by such amount ******* *** ********** ** *** ********* ****].
In the event this Agreement is terminated, except for the limited scenario in which CSG terminates this Agreement without cause prior to the expiration of the [********* ****], Customer shall neither be entitled to a refund nor any further payment of the [********** ********* *****] because it shall not have met the conditions of this Agreement necessary to [**** *** ********** ********* *****]. If CSG does terminate this Agreement without cause prior to expiration of the Incentive Term, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies Customer may have for such termination, [******** ***** ** ******** ** ** ******* ****** as ********** ** *** *********: the ****** ** ********* ********* *********** ** *** **** ** *********** ********** by $****** ********** by the ****** ** ****** ********* ** *** ********* ****], subject to any limitations and reductions as described above if [********* *********** are **** **** ***** ********* ********** levels corresponding with resulting levels at each ********** **** at the **** ** ***********].
1. Minimum Commitment and Subsequent Term Minimum Commitment. Subject to section (i) Acquisition, and Divestiture described below, Customer has agreed to process a [******* ****** of *********** ********** ****** for the period of ****** ** ****, through ******** *** ****. For the Subsequent Term, Customer has agreed to process a ******* ****** of ********** ****** equal to the ********** **** ******* **********. If Customer fails to achieve the ********** **** ******* ********** during the ********** ****, Customer shall pay CSG an amount equal to (i) $****** ********** by (ii) the *********** ******* ** *** ********** **** ******* ********** (“********** **** ******* ********** *******”). Such ********** **** ******* ********** ******* shall be invoiced no later than *** **** ********* *** *** ** *** ********** ****], and

paid in accordance with Section 5.2, "Invoices and Payment," of the Agreement and shall be in addition to any other amounts due pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
