Item 1. Business

Overview

CSG Systems International, Inc. (the “Company”, “CSG”, or forms of the pronoun “we”) was formed in October 1994 and acquired all of the outstanding stock of CSG Systems, Inc. (formerly Cable Services Group, Inc.) from First Data Corporation (“FDC”) in November 1994. CSG Systems, Inc. had been a subsidiary or division of FDC from 1982 until this acquisition.

We are a leading provider of customer interaction management solutions to the North American market. We provide fully outsourced customer care and billing solutions to the cable and direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”) industry that combine the reliability and high-volume transaction processing capabilities of an enterprise server platform with the flexibility of client/server architecture. In addition to these critical business support services that we provide to our clients, our Intelligent Customer Communications solutions facilitate effective interactions between our clients and their end customers through various touch points, including electronic communication channels such as the Internet, interactive communications channels such as voice and text messaging, and through enhanced print communications.

Our broad suite of solutions help our clients improve their profitability by creating more compelling product offerings and an enhanced customer experience through more relevant and targeted interactions. Our solutions help our clients maximize the value and minimize the costs associated with their customer interactions by:

• Targeting and acquiring the right customers through the most effective communications channels;

• Analyzing customer purchasing and interaction patterns and other data to offer new products and services in relevant and meaningful packages;

• Managing the critical back office processes required to offer, deploy, service, and bill customer orders and requests more efficiently;

• Empowering our clients’ workforce with the tools and the information required for them to improve customer satisfaction and retention through informed and efficient interactions;

• Improving the communications between our clients and their end customers by providing meaningful, relevant, and targeted messages via the desired communication vehicle, whether that be electronic or print; and

• Improving efficiencies by streamlining all operations through a customer-centric focus.

Our proven approach and solutions are based on more than 25 years of experience in serving clients in the communications industry (primarily cable and DBS providers) as their businesses evolved from a single product offering, high volume, recurring model to a highly complex, highly competitive, multi-product service offering. Our approach has centered on using the best technology for the various functions required to provide a world-class scalable solution.

Recently, we have broadened and enhanced our Intelligent Customer Communication solutions to not only increase our capabilities to our existing clients, but to also expand these services into new industries, including utilities, healthcare, home security, financial services, and content distribution. These are industries where companies require solutions that foster relevant interactions with customers that result in increased customer satisfaction and revenues. This approach has helped us to diversify our revenue base. During 2009, 85% of our revenues came from the communications industry, whereas three years ago, nearly all of our revenues came from the communications industry. The shift in revenue mix has primarily been achieved through acquisitions, which has expanded the capabilities of our Intelligent Customer Communications solutions, and provided us new markets to penetrate.

3

Our solutions are delivered and supported by an experienced and dedicated workforce of more than 2,000 employees. Our principal executive offices are located at 9555 Maroon Circle, Englewood, Colorado 80112, and the telephone number at that address is (303) 200-2000. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “CSGS”. We are a S&P SmallCap 600 company.

Industry Overview

Background. We provide customer interaction management solutions to clients in several complex and highly competitive industries. These clients typically handle a high volume of recurring transactions and customer relationships, through a growing set of touch points. Our solutions coordinate and manage many aspects of a service provider’s customer interactions, from the initial activation of customer accounts, to the support of various service activities, and through the presentment, collection and accounts receivables management of monthly customer statements. While our heritage is in serving the North American communications markets, we have broadened and enhanced our solutions to extend our business to a growing number of other industries including utilities, healthcare, home security, financial services, and content distribution.

Market Conditions of Communications Industry. Over the past decade, the North American communications industry has experienced significant consolidation and increased competition among service providers, with the possibility of further consolidation. Market consolidation has resulted in a fewer number of service providers, many of which in turn have massive scale and can deliver a total communications package. Also, through significant plant and network upgrades, service providers are focusing their attention on new revenue and growth opportunities. New competitors, new technologies, and unique partnerships are forcing traditional service providers to be more creative in their approaches to rolling out new products and services, and enhancing the customer experience. These new competitors and new technologies have created a disintermediation in the marketplace, enabling the consumer to now receive content on a variety of different devices, over different networks at anytime. While this development poses challenges to traditional service providers, it also provides us with an opportunity to service the customer interaction needs of the evolving market.

As the lines of distinction between services and providers continue to blur, and competition for the same consumer increases between the traditional cable, wireless, and telecom provider, more emphasis is being placed on providing a superior customer experience. This experience includes the types of content and products operators offer as well as how every interaction between the operator and the consumer is handled. Our ability to facilitate our clients’ offerings of world-class products and services is dependent upon our continual enhancement of our existing solutions and the introduction of new solutions that meet their business needs. As a result, we historically have invested a significant amount of our revenues in research and development (“R&D”) annually and have acquired companies that have enabled us to expand our offerings in a more timely and efficient manner.

Overall, these factors drive the demand for scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient customer interaction management solutions, which we believe will provide us with revenue opportunities. While we recognize that operators may choose to develop their own internal solutions or utilize a competitor’s solution, we believe that our scalable, modular and flexible solutions provide the industry with proven solutions to improve their profitability and customer experiences.

General Market Conditions. Over the past few years, the U.S. has experienced a significant economic downturn and difficulties within the financial and credit markets. The timing, duration, and degree of an economic turnaround are uncertain and thus, these adverse economic conditions may continue into the foreseeable future. The possible adverse impacts to companies during these times include a reduction in revenues, decreasing profits and cash flows, distressed or default debt conditions, and/or difficulties in obtaining necessary operating capital.

All companies are likely to be impacted by the current economic conditions to a certain degree, including CSG, our clients, and/or key vendors in our supply chain. Some possible near term negative consequences of the

4

current economic environment to our business include tightening of client spending and/or extended sales cycles which could materially lower our revenues related to our clients’ discretionary spending for such things as special project work, marketing activities, new product sales, and software and professional services projects.

We believe that our recurring revenue and predictable cash flow business model, our sufficient sources of liquidity, and our stable capital structure lessen the risk of a significant negative impact to our business as a result of the current economic conditions. Also, our business model has certain economic advantages to our clients since it generally requires a lower initial capital investment, thus, allowing clients to utilize our advanced, integrated product offerings on a pay-as-you-grow basis. Additionally, we believe our key clients have business models that have historically performed well, as compared to other industries, in down economic conditions. However, there can be no assurances regarding the performance of our business, and the potential impact to our clients and key vendors, resulting from the current or future economic conditions.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is designed to achieve growth of revenues and profitability. The key elements of our business strategy include the following items:

Grow Our Business Within Our Core Communications Industry. A large percentage of our revenues are generated from our core communications industry clients (primarily cable and DBS providers). To grow our business in this market, we look to grow the number of customer accounts processed on our solutions, and increase the penetration of our solutions within our current clients.

While market share gains are difficult to achieve, we have a proven record of success in gaining market share. In 1994, we were only processing approximately 16 million customer accounts on our solutions. Today, we process over 48 million customer accounts on our solutions. During 2009, we converted approximately three million customer accounts off of competitors’ systems and onto our next generation ACP customer care and billing solution, allowing us to increase the number of customers on our solution by approximately 7% over the previous year end. While this was a significant market share win, such gains are infrequent because of the business criticality, complexity, and interdependencies of the various computing and network environments impacted when a service provider changes their customer care and billing system. However, these same factors result in the stickiness of our solutions within our clients’ business, creating a competitive advantage for us as the incumbent provider of such services within our existing client base.

Our goal is to increase the penetration of our solutions within our current clients by enabling our clients to achieve both their short-term and long-term business objectives. As our clients continue to introduce new products and services to their consumers, we benefit by helping our clients monetize those services and interactions. As our clients add new lines of business such as voice over IP, high-speed-data, TV Everywhere, WiMax, commercial services, and others, we are an integral part of helping identify, acquire, service, and bill those customers. As our clients grow, our opportunities to provide additional solutions to our clients grows as well.

In order to help our clients grow, we provide a complete suite of fully-integrated customer interaction management solutions and services that complement our customer care and billing, and Intelligent Customer Communications solutions. While our primary value proposition to our clients is the breadth and depth of this integrated offering, we are evolving many of our product solutions to be more modular-based to allow clients to utilize certain of our products as independent point solutions.

Our advanced products and services enable and automate various aspects of a service provider’s customer interactions, ranging from call centers, on-line Internet access, emails, text messages, interactive messaging, kiosks, service technicians, and monthly statements. Our products are designed to help our clients solve their ever-changing customer interaction business needs as they arise. As our clients’ businesses have become much more complex, with an increasingly diverse portfolio of service offerings, we have seen an increase in demand for our ancillary products and services.

5

As our clients deploy more of our products and services into their operations, we increase our value to, and thereby our stickiness with, our clients. The broader our footprint, the more we develop a greater understanding of our clients’ businesses and the tools necessary for them to remain competitive and profitable. This approach has led to us maintaining very long-term relationships with our clients.

Grow Our Relationships with Providers in New Vertical Markets. As discussed above, a large percentage of our revenues are derived from the North American cable and DBS markets. However, over the past few years, through acquisitions and organic expansion of our solutions, we have increasingly broadened the markets we serve, with approximately 15% of our 2009 revenues being generated outside our core North American cable and DBS markets. Similar to the cable and DBS markets, numerous other industries, such as utilities, healthcare, home security, financial services, and content distribution markets, have specific business needs directed towards improving interactions and monetizing transactions with customers. We believe that by continuing to pursue the development of our customer interaction management solutions, we have the opportunity to further expand our solution footprint and increase our addressable markets and revenue opportunities.

In order to grow our relationships with our core communications clients or clients in new markets, two key strategies are required:

• Continue Technology Leadership. We believe that our product technology and integrated suite of software solutions gives communications service providers a competitive advantage. Our continuing investment in R&D is designed to position us to meet the growing and evolving needs of existing and potential clients. Over the last five years, we have invested approximately $276 million, or approximately 13% of our total revenues, into R&D.

• Enhance Growth Through Focused Acquisitions. We follow a disciplined approach in acquiring assets and businesses which provide the technology and technical personnel to expedite our product development efforts and provide complementary products and services to our North American communications clients, and/or provide access to new markets and clients. Our acquisition strategy focuses on extending our solution capabilities that have relevance to our core communications market, while also providing us opportunities to extend our solution capabilities and penetration with new clients, and within new markets.

Improve Profitability. Finally, we continue to seek new ways to grow our profitability, and believe that various initiatives underway will help us expand our operating margins over time, such as the scale benefits from adding new subscribers to our solutions, increasing the utilization of new solutions, expanding our footprint within our client base, improving operational performance of recently acquired businesses, and various cost savings and efficiency efforts, such as moving to a new data center and improving our development and delivery methodologies.

In summary, our R&D initiatives and recent acquisitions have enhanced our capabilities to assist our clients to grow and improve their business operations, enabling us to grow our business with new and existing clients. We have continually shown our commitment to deliver solutions and services to our clients with the highest level of performance and functionality; and with our continued investment in R&D and acquisition activities, we believe we will continue to find ways to solve our clients’ business challenges and provide them with a competitive advantage. While continuing to strive to provide superior solutions and services to our existing clients, we will also continue to focus on growing and diversifying our business and finding new ways to further expand our footprint in new vertical markets we have entered with our recent acquisitions.

Description of Business

Key Clients. We work with the leading cable and DBS providers located in the U.S. and Canada. A partial list of those service providers as of December 31, 2009 is included below:

Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”)	DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”)
Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”)	Mediacom Communications
Cox Communications	Time Warner, Inc. (“Time Warner”)

The North American communications industry has experienced significant consolidation over the past decade, resulting in a large percentage of the market being served by a limited number of service providers with greater size and scale. Consistent with this market concentration, a large percentage of our historical revenues have been generated from our four largest clients, which are Comcast, DISH, Time Warner, and Charter. Revenues from these clients represented the following percentages of our total revenues for 2009 and 2008:

	2009		2008
Comcast	24	%	27	%
DISH	18	%	18	%
Time Warner	13	%	14	%
Charter	9	%	8	%

See our Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our business relationships with these key clients.

Research and Development. Our clients are facing competition from new entrants, and at the same time, are deploying new services at a fast pace, dramatically increasing the complexity of their business operations. Therefore, we continue to invest heavily in R&D to ensure that we stay ahead of our clients’ needs and advance our clients’ businesses as well as our own. We recognize these challenges and believe our value proposition is to provide solutions that help our clients ensure that each customer interaction is an opportunity to create value and deepen the business relationship. As a result of our R&D efforts, we have not only broadened our footprint within our client base with many new innovative product offerings, but have also found traction in penetrating new markets with portions of our suite of customer interaction management solutions.

Our total R&D expenses were $70.1 million and $67.3 million, respectively, for 2009 and 2008, or approximately 14% of total revenues in each year. In the near term, we expect that the percentage of our total revenues to be spent on R&D to be relatively consistent with that of 2009 and 2008, with the level of our R&D spend highly dependent upon the opportunities that we see in our markets.

There are certain inherent risks associated with significant technological innovations. Some of these risks are described in this report in our Risk Factors section below.

Products and Services. Our primary product offerings include our core customer care and billing solution, ACP, and related services and software products, to include our Intelligent Customer Communications solutions. A background in high-volume transaction processing and statement production, complemented with world-class applications software, allows us to offer one of the most comprehensive, flexible, pre-integrated products and services solutions to the communications market.

We believe this pre-integrated approach and outsourced delivery model allows our clients to bring new product offerings to market quickly and provide high-quality customer service in a cost effective manner. While our primary value proposition to our clients is the breadth and depth of this integrated offering, we are evolving many of our product solutions to be more modular-based to allow clients to utilize certain of our products as independent point solutions.

We license certain software products (e.g., ACSR, Workforce Express, etc.) and provide our professional services principally to our existing base of customer care and billing clients to enhance the core functionality of ACP, increase the efficiency and productivity of our clients’ operations, and allow clients to effectively roll out new products, such as high-speed-data, telephony, and commercial services, to new and existing markets.

7

Historically, a substantial percentage of our total revenues have been generated from our ACP processing, Intelligent Customer Communications, and related software products. These products and services are expected to provide a substantial percentage of our total revenues in the foreseeable future as well.

During 2004, we completed a significant architectural upgrade to ACP, and related services and software products. We continue to evolve ACP, both functionally and architecturally, in response to market demands that our solutions have certain functional features and capabilities, as well as architectural flexibilities (such as service oriented architecture, or SOA). This evolution will result in the modularization of certain functionalities that historically has been tightly integrated with our solution suite, which will allow us to respond more quickly to required changes to our solutions and provide greater interoperability with other computer systems. Although our primary value proposition to our clients will continue to be the breadth and depth of our integrated solution, these R&D efforts allow us to separate certain software components so as to allow such components to be marketed on a stand-alone basis where a specific client requirement and/or business need dictates, including the use of certain products across non-CSG customer care and billing solutions.

Business Acquisitions. As noted above, our strategy includes acquiring assets and businesses which provide the technology and technical personnel to expedite our product development efforts, provide complementary products and services, increase market share, and/or provide access to new markets and clients. Consistent with this strategy, we have acquired the following businesses over the last four years:

Telution. As part of our product evolution strategy, we acquired Telution, Inc. (“Telution”) in March of 2006 to further expand the capabilities around our ACP platform. Our recent R&D efforts include the integration of these acquired technologies into our solution set. In particular, the acquired software assets are an integral part of the new functionality that has been added to our ACP platform since the acquisition.

In addition, the Telution product set is a component of our Content Direct solution which delivers an operating platform, partner ecosystem, and business model that helps content creators, aggregators, programmers, distributors and advertisers promote and extend their brand; monetize video content over the Internet in multiple ways; and engage consumers through increased interactivity and social networks.

ComTec. In July of 2007, we acquired ComTec, Inc. (“ComTec”), to expand our Intelligent Customer Communications footprint and capabilities. With this acquisition, we added enhanced statement production and electronic statement presentation hardware and software technologies. These technologies, which include extensive highlight color and cut-sheet printing capabilities, have accelerated our ability to offer enhanced functionality to existing and prospective customers. In addition, the acquisition increased our presence in our core cable and DBS markets, while also providing an established customer base in new industry verticals such as utilities, healthcare, home security, and financial services markets.

Prairie. In August of 2007, we acquired Prairie Voice Services, Inc. (“Prairie”). This business, which was renamed CSG Interactive Messaging, Inc., extends our suite of products and solutions that help our clients maximize the value of their interactions with their customers. Prairie provides inbound and outbound automated voice, text/SMS, email, and fax messaging services to manage workforce communications, collections, lead generation, automated order capture, service outage notifications, and other key business functions. We acquired Prairie to extend our capabilities within our core cable and DBS markets, while also providing an established customer base in new industry verticals such as financial services and telecommunications.

DataProse. In April of 2008, we acquired DataProse, Inc., (“DataProse”) to further our objective of helping our clients maximize every customer interaction by both strengthening and broadening our portfolio of print solutions capabilities. DataProse enhances our suite of advanced, turnkey solutions for personalized statement presentment in both paper and electronic formats, and adds extensive expertise in direct mail marketing services, including database management and market segmentation. Additionally, this acquisition has allowed us to diversify our client base into the utilities, financial services, and telecommunications markets, and add clients in the non-profit sectors of healthcare and higher education.

8

Quaero. In December of 2008, we acquired Quaero Corporation, a marketing services provider with expertise in customer strategy, analytics, and marketing performance management. This acquisition broadens our solution suite with powerful customer intelligence capabilities that will further assist our clients in maximizing the value of their customer interactions. We plan to enhance these client relationships by broadening Quaero’s strategic marketing offerings with our customer interaction management solutions such as our marketing services, interactive messaging, and e-communications. In addition, we plan to integrate Quaero’s capabilities with our existing customer interaction management solution suite, most notably for our cable and DBS clients. The combined customer intelligence solution will allow our clients to utilize key data from our billing system and other external data feeds to profile and predict customer profitability and behavior. The Quaero acquisition has also allowed us to further diversify our revenue base and extend our reach into new industry verticals including financial services, pharmaceutical/healthcare, media/publishing, travel/hospitality, consumer, and high tech.

Data Center Processing Facility. We outsource to FDC the data processing and related computer services required for the operation of our processing services. Our ACP proprietary software and other software applications are run in FDC’s facility to obtain the necessary enterprise server computer capacity and other computer support services without us having to make the substantial capital and infrastructure investments that would be necessary for us to provide these services internally. Our clients are connected to the FDC facility through a combination of private and commercially-provided networks. Our contract with FDC was scheduled to expire at the end of June 2010, but was recently amended to provide us options to continue the use of certain FDC data center services through December 31, 2010. We have a business continuity plan as part of our agreement with FDC should the FDC data processing center suffer an extended business interruption or outage.

In December 2008, we entered into an agreement with Infocrossing LLC (“Infocrossing”), a Wipro Limited company, to transition these outsourced data center services to Infocrossing. Infocrossing has been in the business of providing end-to-end information technology management solutions for over 25 years and operates world-class data centers throughout the U.S. for multiple computing environments and platforms. As part of the transition, we will setup and replicate the computing environment at the new Infocrossing data center location to mitigate the risk of service disruption. We started to transition certain systems during 2009, with the transition of services to Infocrossing from FDC expected to be substantially completed in mid-2010. We are changing data center providers to partner with a global provider that focuses on data center operations in greater scale, and as their core business focus. This allows us to further improve the delivery of our solutions while benefiting from an improved cost structure.

Client and Product Support. Our clients typically rely on us for ongoing support and training needs related to our products. We have a multi-level support environment for our clients, which include dedicated account management teams to support the business, operational, and functional requirements of each client. These account teams help clients resolve strategic and business issues and are supported by our Solution Support Center (“SSC”), which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Clients call an 800 number, and through an automated voice response unit, have their calls directed to the appropriate SSC personnel to answer their questions. We have a full-time training staff and conduct ongoing training sessions both in the field and at our training facilities.

Sales and Marketing. We organize our sales efforts to existing clients primarily within our dedicated account teams, with senior level account managers who are responsible for new revenues and renewal of existing contracts within a client account. The account teams are supported by sales support personnel who are experienced in the various products and services that we provide. In addition, we have dedicated staff engaged in selling our products and services to prospective clients.

Competition. The market for customer interaction management products and services in the converging communications industry in North America, as well as in other industries we serve, is highly competitive. We compete with both independent outsourced providers and in-house developers of customer management systems.

9

We believe that our most significant competitors in our primary markets are Amdocs Limited, Convergys Corporation, Oracle Corporation, and internally-developed systems. Some of our actual and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, and technological resources than us.

We believe service providers in our industry use the following criteria when selecting a vendor to provide customer care and billing products and services: (i) functionality, scalability, flexibility, interoperability, and architecture of the software assets; (ii) the breadth and depth of pre-integrated product solutions; (iii) product quality, client service, and support; (iv) quality of R&D efforts; and (v) price. We believe that our products and services allow us to compete effectively in these areas.

Proprietary Rights and Licenses

We rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright, trademark, and patent laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries, and non-disclosure, confidentiality, and other types of contractual arrangements to establish, maintain, and enforce our intellectual property rights in our solutions. Despite these measures, any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, or misappropriated. Although we hold a limited number of patents and patent applications on some of our newer solutions, we do not rely upon patents as a primary means of protecting our rights in our intellectual property. In any event, there can be no assurance that our patent applications will be approved, that any issued patents will adequately protect our intellectual property, or that such patents will not be challenged by third parties. Also, much of our business and many of our solutions rely on key technologies developed or licensed by third parties, and we may not be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties at all or on reasonable terms. Our failure to adequately establish, maintain, and protect our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For a description of the risks associated with our intellectual property rights, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Failure to Protect Our Intellectual Property Rights or Claims by Others That We Infringe Their Intellectual Property Rights Could Substantially Harm Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, we had a total of 2,061 employees, relatively consistent to the 2,066 employees we had as of December 31, 2008. Our success is dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

We operate in a rapidly changing and evolving market involving the North American communications industry (e.g., bundled multi-channel video, Internet, voice and IP-based services), and new risk factors will likely emerge. Further, as we enter new markets such as healthcare and financial services, we are subject to new regulatory requirements that increase the risk of non-compliance and the potential for economic harm to us and our clients. Management cannot predict all of the important risk factors, nor can it assess the impact, if any, of such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any risk factor, or combination of risk factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will be accurate indicators of future actual results, and it is likely that actual results will differ from results projected in forward-looking statements and that such differences may be material.

We Derive a Significant Portion of Our Revenues From a Limited Number of Clients, and the Loss of the Business of a Significant Client Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Over the past decade, the North American communications industry has experienced significant consolidation, resulting in a large percentage of the market being served by a limited number of service providers with greater size and scale. Consistent with this market concentration, in 2009, approximately 64% of our revenues were generated from our four largest clients, which are (in order of size) Comcast, DISH, Time Warner, and Charter. See the Significant Client Relationships section of MD&A for key renewal dates and a brief summary of our business relationship with these clients.

There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of clients. One such risk is that a significant client could: (i) undergo a formalized process to evaluate alternative providers for services we provide; (ii) terminate or fail to renew their contracts with us, in whole or in part for any reason; (iii) significantly reduce the number of customer accounts processed on our solutions, the price paid for our services, or the scope of services that we provide; or (iv) experience significant financial or operating difficulties. Any such development could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and/or trading price of our common stock.

Our industry is highly competitive, and while we recently have succeeded in gaining customers at the expense of competitors, there is no guarantee that this success will continue. It is possible that a competitor could increase its footprint and share of customers processed at our expense or a provider could develop their own internal solutions. While our clients may incur some costs in switching to our competitors or their own internally-developed solutions, they may do so for a variety of reasons, including: (i) price; (ii) if we do not provide satisfactory solutions; or (iii) if we do not maintain favorable relationships.

The Delivery of Our Solutions is Dependent on a Variety of Computing Environments and Communications Networks Which May Not Be Available or May Be Subject to Security Attacks.

Our solutions are generally delivered through a variety of computing environments operated by us, which we will collectively refer to herein as “Systems.” We provide such computing environments through both outsourced arrangements, such as our current data processing arrangements with FDC and Infocrossing, as well as internally

11

operating numerous distributed servers in geographically dispersed environments. The end users are connected to our Systems through a variety of public and private communications networks, which we will collectively refer to herein as “Networks.” Our solutions are generally considered to be mission critical customer management systems by our clients. As a result, our clients are highly dependent upon the high availability and uncompromised security of our Networks and Systems to conduct their business operations.

Our Networks and Systems are subject to the risk of an extended interruption or outage due to many factors such as: (i) planned changes to our Systems and Networks for such things as scheduled maintenance and technology upgrades, or migrations to other technologies, service providers, or physical location of hardware; (ii) human and machine error; (iii) acts of nature; and (iv) intentional, unauthorized attacks from computer “hackers.” As noted above, we began the transition of our data center services currently provided by FDC to Infocrossing during 2009, and expect to substantially complete the transition of such services in mid-2010. Because of the magnitude of the Systems and Networks that will be impacted by this transition, the above risks of an extended interruption or outage will be significantly heightened during the transition period.

In addition, we continue to expand our use of the Internet with our product offerings thereby permitting, for example, our clients’ customers to use the Internet to review account balances, order services or execute similar account management functions. Allowing access to our Networks and Systems via the Internet has the potential to increase their vulnerability to unauthorized access and corruption, as well as increasing the dependency of our Systems’ reliability on the availability and performance of the Internet and end users’ infrastructure they obtain through other third party providers.

The method, manner, cause and timing of an extended interruption or outage in our Networks or Systems are impossible to predict. As a result, there can be no assurances that our Networks and Systems will not fail, or that our business continuity plans will adequately mitigate the negative effects of a disruption to our Networks or Systems. Further, our property and business interruption insurance may not adequately compensate us for losses that we incur as a result of such interruptions. Should our Networks or Systems: (i) experience an extended interruption or outage, (ii) have their security breached, or (iii) have their data lost, corrupted or otherwise compromised, it would impede our ability to meet product and service delivery obligations, and likely have an immediate impact to the business operations of our clients. This would most likely result in an immediate loss to us of revenue or increase in expense, as well as damaging our reputation. An information breach in the system and loss of confidential information such as credit card numbers and related information could have a longer and more significant impact on the business operations than a hardware-related failure. The loss of confidential information could result in losing the customers’ confidence, as well as imposition of fines and damages. Any of these events could have both an immediate, negative impact upon our financial condition and our short-term revenue and profit expectations, as well as our long-term ability to attract and retain new clients.

The Occurrence or Perception of a Security Breach or Disclosure of Confidential Personally Identifiable Information Could Harm Our Business.

In providing solutions to our customers, we process, transmit, and store confidential and personally identifiable information, including social security numbers and financial and health information. Our treatment of such information is subject to contractual restrictions and federal, state, and foreign data privacy laws and regulations. While we take measures to protect against unauthorized access to such information and comply with these laws and regulations, these measures may be inadequate, and any failure on our part to protect the privacy of personally identifiable information or comply with data privacy laws and regulations may subject us to contractual liability and damages, loss of business, damages from individual claimants, fines, penalties, criminal prosecution, and unfavorable publicity. Even the mere perception of a security breach or inadvertent disclosure of personally identifiable information could inhibit market acceptance of our solutions. In addition, third party vendors that we engage to perform services for us may unintentionally release personally identifiable information or otherwise fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations. The occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Current Macroeconomic Environment Could Adversely Impact Our Business.

Over the past few years, the U.S. has experienced a significant economic downturn and difficulties within the financial and credit markets. The timing, duration, and degree of an economic turnaround are uncertain and thus, these adverse economic conditions may continue into the foreseeable future. The possible adverse impacts to companies during these times include a reduction in revenues, decreasing profits and cash flows, distressed or default debt conditions, and/or difficulties in obtaining necessary operating capital. All companies are likely to be impacted by the current economic downturn to a certain degree, including CSG, our clients, and/or key vendors in our supply chain. There can be no assurances regarding the performance of our business, and the potential impact to our clients and key vendors, resulting from the current economic conditions.

A Reduction in Demand for Our Key Customer Care and Billing Solutions Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Historically, a substantial percentage of our total revenues have been generated from our core outsourced processing product, ACP, and related solutions. These solutions are expected to continue to provide a large percentage of our total revenues in the foreseeable future. Any significant reduction in demand for ACP and related solutions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We May Not Be Able to Respond to Rapid Technological Changes.

The market for customer interaction management solutions, such as customer care and billing solutions, is characterized by rapid changes in technology and is highly competitive with respect to the need for timely product innovations and new product introductions. As a result, we believe that our future success in sustaining and growing our revenues depends upon: (i) our ability to continuously adapt, modify, maintain, and operate our solutions to address the increasingly complex and evolving needs of our clients, without sacrificing the reliability or quality of the solutions; and (ii) the integration of our recently acquired technologies such as interactive messaging and customer intelligence with ACP, as well as creating an integrated suite of customer interaction management solutions that also include e-care and printing/mailing capabilities, which are portable to new verticals such as utilities, healthcare, home security, financial services, and content distribution. In addition, the market is demanding that our solutions have greater architectural flexibility and interoperability, and that we are able to meet the demands for technological advancements to our solutions at a greater pace. Attempts to meet these demands subjects our R&D efforts to greater risks.

As a result, substantial R&D will be required to maintain the competitiveness of our solutions in the market. Technical problems may arise in developing, maintaining and operating our solutions as the complexities are increased. Development projects can be lengthy and costly, and may be subject to changing requirements, programming difficulties, a shortage of qualified personnel, and/or unforeseen factors which can result in delays. In addition, we may be responsible for the implementation of new solutions and/or the migration of clients to new solutions, and depending upon the specific solution, we may also be responsible for operations of the solution.

There is an inherent risk in the successful development, implementation, migration, and operations of our solutions as the technological complexities, and the pace at which we must deliver these solutions to market, continue to increase. The risk of making an error that causes significant operational disruption to a client, or results in incorrect customer or vendor billing calculations we perform on behalf of our clients, increases proportionately with the frequency and complexity of changes to our solutions. There can be no assurance: (i) of continued market acceptance of our solutions; (ii) that we will be successful in the development of enhancements or new solutions that respond to technological advances or changing client needs at the pace the market demands; or (iii) that we will be successful in supporting the implementation, migration and/or operations of enhancements or new solutions.

13

Our Use of Open Source Software May Subject Our Software to General Release or Require Us to Re-Engineer Our Software, Which Could Harm Our Business.

We use open source software in connection with our solutions, processes, and technology. Companies that incorporate open source software into their products have, from time to time, faced claims challenging the ownership of open source software. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Some open source software licenses require users who distribute open source software as part of their software to publicly disclose all or part of the source code in their software and make any derivative works of the open source code available on unfavorable terms or at no cost. In addition to risks related to license requirements, use of open source software can lead to greater risks than use of third party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls with respect to origin of the software. While we take measures to protect our use of open source software in our solutions, open source license terms may be ambiguous, and many of the risks associated with usage of open source software cannot be eliminated. If we were found to have inappropriately used open source software, we may be required to release our proprietary source code, re-engineer our software, discontinue the sale of certain solutions in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis, or take other remedial action that may divert resources away from our development efforts, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We May Not Be Able to Efficiently and Effectively Implement New Solutions or Convert Clients onto Our Solutions.

Our continued growth plans include the implementation of new solutions, as well as converting both new and existing clients to our solutions. Such implementations or conversions, whether they involve new solutions or new customers, have become increasingly more difficult because of the sophistication, complexity and interdependencies of the various computing and network environments impacted, combined with the increasing complexity of the underlying business processes. For these reasons, there is a risk that we may experience delays or unexpected costs associated with a particular implementation or conversion, and our inability to complete implementation or conversion projects in an efficient and effective manner could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our Business is Highly Dependent on the North American Cable and DBS Industries.

We have historically generated a significant portion of our revenues by providing solutions to clients in the North American cable and DBS industries. A decrease in the number of customers served by our clients, an adverse change in the economic condition of these industries, and/or changing consumer demand for services could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Additionally, a significant portion of our historical growth has come from our support of clients’ expansion into new lines of business, such as HSD and VoIP. There can be no assurance that our current and potential clients will be successful in expanding into new segments of the converging North American communications industry. Even if major forays into new markets by our current or potential clients are successful, we may be unable to meet the special billing and customer interaction management needs of those markets.

Our clients operate in a highly competitive environment. Traditional wireline and wireless telephone service providers, and others, will continue their aggressive pursuit of providing convergent services, including residential video, a market historically dominated by our clients. In addition, content disintermediaries like Hulu, YouTube, and FloTV are trying to capture consumer attention by providing content on different devices over different networks. Should these alternative service providers be successful in their video strategies, it could threaten our clients’ market share, and thus our source of revenues, as generally speaking these companies do not use our core solutions and there can be no assurance that new entrants will become our clients.

Further Consolidation of the North American Cable and DBS Industries May Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations.

The North American cable and DBS industries may continue to be subject to significant ownership changes. One facet of these changes is that consolidation by and among our core client base, the cable and DBS providers, as

14

well as new entrants such as the traditional wireline and wireless carriers, will decrease the potential number of buyers for our solutions. Should these consolidations result in a concentration of customer accounts being owned by companies with whom we do not have a relationship, or with whom competitors are entrenched, we could be subject to the risk that subscribers will be moved off of our solutions and onto a competitor’s system, thereby having a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Furthermore, movement of our clients’ customers from our solutions to a competitor’s system or an internally-developed solution as a result of regionalization strategies by our clients could have a material adverse affect on our operations. Finally, as the result of the consolidations, our current and potential clients may choose to use their size and scale to exercise more severe pressure on pricing negotiations.

We Face Significant Competition in Our Industry.

The market for our solutions is highly competitive. We directly compete with both independent providers and in-house solutions developed by existing and potential clients. In addition, some independent providers are entering into strategic alliances with other independent providers, resulting in either new competitors, or competitors with greater resources. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, technical, and other competitive resources than our company, many with significant and well-established domestic and international operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with new competitors.

Client Bankruptcies Could Adversely Affect Our Business.

In the past, certain of our clients have filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result of the current economic conditions and the additional financial stress this may place on companies, the risk of client bankruptcies is significantly heightened. Companies involved in bankruptcy proceedings pose greater financial risks to us, consisting principally of the following: (i) a financial loss related to possible claims of preferential payments for certain amounts paid to us prior to the bankruptcy filing date, as well as increased collectibility risk for accounts receivable, particularly those accounts receivable that relate to periods prior to the bankruptcy filing date; and/or (ii) the possibility of a contract being unilaterally rejected as part of the bankruptcy proceedings, or a client in bankruptcy may attempt to renegotiate more favorable terms as a result of their deteriorated financial condition, thus, negatively impacting our rights to future revenues subsequent to the bankruptcy filing. We consider these risks in assessing our revenue recognition and the collectibility of accounts receivable related to our clients that have filed for bankruptcy protection, and for those clients that are seriously threatened with a possible bankruptcy filing. We establish accounting reserves for our estimated exposure on these items which can materially impact the results of our operations in the period such reserves are established. There can be no assurance that our accounting reserves related to this exposure will be adequate. Should any of the factors considered in determining the adequacy of the overall reserves change adversely, an adjustment to the accounting reserves may be necessary. Because of the potential significance of this exposure, such an adjustment could be material.

We May Incur Additional Material Restructuring Charges in the Future.

In the past, we have recorded restructuring charges related to involuntary employee terminations, various facility abandonments, and various other restructuring activities. We continually evaluate ways to reduce our operating expenses through new restructuring opportunities, including more effective utilization of our assets, workforce and operating facilities. As a result, there is a risk, which is inherently greater during economic downturns, that we may incur additional material restructuring charges in the future.

Failure to Attract and Retain Our Key Management and Other Highly Skilled Personnel Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business.

Our future success depends in large part on the continued service of our key management, sales, product development, and operational personnel. We believe that our future success also depends on our ability to attract

15

and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, operational, and marketing personnel, including, in particular, personnel in the areas of R&D and technical support. Competition for qualified personnel at times can be intense, particularly in the areas of R&D, conversions, software implementations, and technical support. For these reasons, we may not be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our commitments and new product delivery objectives.

We May Not Be Successful in the Integration of Our Acquisitions.

As part of our growth strategy, we seek to acquire assets, technology, and businesses which will provide the technology and technical personnel to expedite our product development efforts, provide complementary solutions, or provide access to new markets and clients.

Acquisitions involve a number of risks and difficulties, including: (i) expansion into new markets and business ventures; (ii) the requirement to understand local business practices; (iii) the diversion of management’s attention to the assimilation of acquired operations and personnel; (iv) being bound by client or vendor contracts with unfavorable terms; and (v) potential adverse effects on a company’s operating results for various reasons, including, but not limited to, the following items: (a) the inability to achieve financial targets; (b) the inability to achieve certain operating goals and synergies; (c) charges related to purchased in-process R&D projects; (d) costs incurred to exit current or acquired contracts or activities; (e) costs incurred to service any acquisition debt; and (f) the amortization or impairment of intangible assets.

Due to the multiple risks and difficulties associated with any acquisition, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving our expected strategic, operating, and financial goals for any such acquisition.

Failure to Protect Our Intellectual Property Rights or Claims by Others That We Infringe Their Intellectual Property Rights Could Substantially Harm Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright, trademark, and patent laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries, and non-disclosure, confidentiality, and other types of contractual arrangements to establish, maintain, and enforce our intellectual property rights in our solutions. Despite these measures, any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, or misappropriated. Further, our contractual arrangements may not effectively prevent disclosure of our confidential information or provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of our confidential information. Others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases we could not assert any trade secret rights against such parties. Costly and time consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position. In addition, the laws of certain countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Therefore, in certain jurisdictions, we may be unable to protect our proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position.

Although we hold a limited number of patents and patent applications on some of our newer solutions, we do not rely upon patents as a primary means of protecting our rights in our intellectual property. In any event, there can be no assurance that our patent applications will be approved, that any issued patents will adequately protect our intellectual property, or that such patents will not be challenged by third parties. Also, much of our business and many of our solutions rely on key technologies developed or licensed by third parties, and we may not be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties at all or on reasonable terms.

Finally, third parties may claim that we, our customers, licensees or other parties indemnified by us are infringing upon their intellectual property rights. Even if we believe that such claims are without merit, they can be time consuming and costly to defend and distract management’s and technical staff’s attention and resources. Claims of intellectual property infringement also might require us to redesign affected solutions, enter into costly

16

settlement or license agreements or pay costly damage awards, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain of our solutions. Even if we have an agreement to indemnify us against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. If we cannot or do not license the infringed technology on reasonable pricing terms or at all, or substitute similar technology from another source, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Dividends

We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock since our incorporation. We did, however, complete a two-for-one stock split, effected in the form of a stock dividend, in March 1999. We intend to retain any earnings to finance the growth and development of our business, and at this time, we do not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The payment of dividends has certain impacts to our senior subordinated convertible contingent debt securities (the “Convertible Debt Securities”). See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of our Convertible Debt Securities and the impact the payment of dividends may have on these items.

(1) In 2009, we adopted new accounting pronouncements that changed the way we account for our Convertible Debt Securities and the manner in which we treat share-based payment awards with rights to dividends or dividend equivalents in our calculation of basic and diluted EPS. These accounting pronouncements were required to be applied retrospectively, and as a result all comparable periods presented have been restated. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of these matters.

(2) In the first quarter of 2009, we began to transition our outsourced data center processing services from FDC to Infocrossing. As a result, during 2009, we incurred $15.5 million of expense, or $0.29 per diluted share, related to these efforts, of which $13.6 million is included in cost of processing and related services and $1.9 million is included in depreciation in our Consolidated Statements of Income. See the Data Center Transition section included in MD&A for additional discussion of this matter.

(3) In 2009 and 2008, we repurchased $30.0 million (par value) and $29.7 million (par value) of our Convertible Debt Securities for $26.7 million and $22.4 million, respectively, and recognized a gain on the repurchase of $1.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, after the write-off of deferred financing costs. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of our long-term debt.

(4) During 2008 and 2007 we acquired several businesses as part of our growth and diversification strategy which resulted in top line revenue growth for 2009, 2008 and 2007 of 6.1%, 12.6% and 9.4%, respectively, of which approximately 57% of the 2009 growth rate, 75% of the 2008 growth rate, and 45% of the 2007 growth rate can be attributed to these acquired entities, with the remaining growth in each year attributed to organic growth factors. These acquired businesses have historically operated at a lower operating margin percentage that our legacy business, thus, have had a slightly dilutive impact to our operating income margin percentage. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding these acquisitions.

(5) In 2005, we sold our GSS and plaNet businesses and recorded a net pretax gain (loss) on the disposal of these businesses of $(6.0) million and $10.9 million, respectively, in 2006 and 2005. As a result, the results of operations for the GSS and plaNet businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, we received approximately $233 million in net cash proceeds from the sale of these businesses, which is the primary reason for the large cash balance as of December 31, 2005, and the increased interest and investment income in 2006 and 2007.

(6) In August 1999, our Board of Directors approved our Stock Repurchase Program which authorized us to purchase shares of our common stock from time-to-time as business conditions warrant. During 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, and 2005, we repurchased 0.3 million, 0.3 million, 13.2 million, 2.5 million, and 3.8 million shares, respectively for $3.8 million, $4.0 million, $307.6 million, $63.3 million, and $73.0 million. The significant stock repurchases made during 2007 was the primary reason for the decrease in our cash balance between 2006 and 2007. As of December 31, 2009, 5.7 million shares of the 35.0 million shares authorized under the Stock Repurchase Program remain available for repurchase. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of the Stock Repurchase Program.

(7) Over the years, we have made several changes to our business operations and implemented several cost reduction initiatives that resulted in restructuring charges. The large restructuring expense in 2005 was almost entirely related to the changes we made in our business as a result of the sale of the GSS and plaNet businesses.

(8) In 2005, certain equity awards held by key members of our management team included a change in control provision that was triggered upon the closing of the sale of the GSS Business. The change in control provision resulted in accelerated vesting as of December 9, 2005 for the equity awards impacted, and thus, stock-based compensation expense of $4.7 million related to the accelerated vesting of these equity awards was recorded as stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2005, of which $0.9 million was included in discontinued operations, and $3.8 million was included in continuing operations as part of restructuring charges. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized during 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $12.6 million, $11.6 million, $11.1 million, $12.2 million, and $20.4 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $3.3 million in 2005 was reflected in discontinued operations.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains a number of forward-looking statements relative to our future plans and our expectations concerning our business and the industries we serve. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about a number of important factors, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in the forward-looking statements. Some of the risks that are foreseen by management are outlined above within Item 1A., “Risk Factors”. Item 1A. constitutes an integral part of this report, and readers are strongly encouraged to review this section closely in conjunction with MD&A.

Management Overview

Restatement of Prior Year Financial Statements Due to the Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements. Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted two new accounting pronouncements that changed the manner in which we account for our Convertible Debt Securities and the manner in which we treat share-based payment awards with rights to dividends or dividend equivalents in our calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Both accounting pronouncements were required to be adopted retrospectively. As a result, we have restated our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008, and our Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our adoption of these new accounting rules.

Results of Operations. A summary of our results of operations and other key performance metrics for 2009 are as follows:

• Our consolidated revenues for 2009 were $500.7 million, an increase of 6.1% when compared to $472.1 million for 2008. The increase in revenues is reflective of the success we have experienced in our plan to grow top-line revenues and achieve market diversification through both acquisitions and organic growth, as discussed in greater detail below.

• Our operating expenses for 2009 were $426.0 million, an increase of 11.3% when compared to $382.8 million for 2008, with $15.5 million of this increase related to our data center transition expenses, discussed in greater detail below. Of the remaining increase, approximately 67% can be attributed to the year-over-year impact of the acquired DataProse and Quaero businesses.

• Operating income for 2009 was $74.7 million (14.9% operating margin percentage), compared to $89.3 million (18.9% operating margin percentage) for 2008. Of this 4.0% decrease in operating margin percentage, approximately 3% percentage points can be attributed to our data center transition expenses, with the remaining portion primarily attributed to the dilutive impact of the acquired DataProse and Quaero businesses that were acquired in 2008.

• Income from continuing operations (net of tax) for 2009 was $41.9 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, compared to $53.3 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, for 2008. The 2009 amount includes $15.5 million (pretax impact), or $0.29 per diluted share, related to our data center transition efforts. Additionally, the 2009 and 2008 amounts include gains of $1.5 million and $3.4 million (pretax impact), respectively, or $0.03 and $0.06 per diluted share, included in other income related to our repurchase of some of our Convertible Debt Securities. Absent the impact of these items, our 2009 earnings per share from continuing operations, on a per diluted share basis, remained relatively consistent with 2008.

• We continue to generate strong cash flows. During 2009, we generated $153.1 million of cash flows from operating activities, as compared to the $114.6 million of cash flows from operating activities we generated during 2008, with the increase primarily attributed to favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities, discussed in further detail below. Our cash and short-term investments totaled $198.4 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $141.2 million as of December 31, 2008.

27

Other key events related to our 2009 operations were as follows:

• During 2009, we had the following key client renewals:

• In February 2009, we entered into a new agreement with Charter that expanded the use of our solutions supporting Charter’s entire national video, high-speed data, and telephony footprint through December 31, 2014.

• In November 2009, we entered into a new agreement with DISH, that extended CSG’s contractual relationship with DISH through December 31, 2012 for processing and related services, and through December 31, 2014 for print and mail services.

• During 2009, we invested $70.1 million, or approximately 14.0% of our revenues, in R&D activities.

• During 2009, we successfully converted 3.1 million customer accounts onto our systems, bringing the total number of customer accounts on our customer care and billing solution as of December 31, 2009 to 48.6 million.

• During 2009, we repurchased $30.0 million (par value) of our Convertible Debt Securities for $26.7 million, and recognized a gain on the repurchase of $1.5 million (pretax impact), after the write-off of a proportional amount of deferred financing costs.

• During 2009, we repurchased a total of 250,000 shares of our common stock, for a total of $3.8 million (a weighted-average price of $15.13 per share) under our Stock Repurchase Program.

• In February 2009, our Board of Directors named Mr. Bret Griess, Senior Vice President Operations and Delivery and CIO, as an Executive Officer. See our Form 8-K filed on February 25, 2009 for additional details of this matter.

Significant Client Relationships

Comcast. Comcast continues to be our largest client. For 2009 and 2008, revenues from Comcast represented approximately 24% and 27%, respectively, of our total revenues, with the decrease between years reflective of the new pricing that was effective July 1, 2008 as a result of the Comcast contract renewal in July 2008. Our processing agreement with Comcast, which runs through December 31, 2012, contains certain financial commitments associated with the number of Comcast customer accounts that are processed on our solutions, with such commitments decreasing over the life of the agreement. The Comcast processing agreement and related material amendments, with confidential information redacted, are included in the exhibits to our periodic filings with the SEC.

DISH. DISH is our second largest client. For 2009 and 2008, DISH represented approximately 18% of our total revenues.

On November 24, 2009, we entered into a new processing agreement with DISH, which became effective January 1, 2010, and extends our contractual relationship with DISH through December 31, 2012 for processing and related services, and through December 31, 2014 for print and mail services. Our previous contract with DISH was effective through December 31, 2009. The expected scope of the products and services to be utilized by DISH under the new agreement is consistent with our previous DISH contract.

Consistent with the structure of the previous DISH contract, the fees generated under the new DISH agreement are as follows:

• The fees for processing and related services will be based on a fixed monthly amount and subject to an annual price escalator. The fixed nature of the monthly fees results in guaranteed minimum fees for processing and related services through the three-year term of this portion of the new agreement.

28

• The fees for print and mail services will be based on the number of statements produced and the usage of ancillary print services, with the per unit fees subject to an annual price escalator. There are annual guaranteed minimum fees for the print and mail services through the five-year term of this portion of the agreement.

These pricing terms and related guaranteed minimum fees under the new agreement provide us with visibility into the revenues expected to be generated from DISH over the next three years at annual levels relatively consistent with those generated in 2009.

Additionally, in line with the structure of the previous contract, the new DISH agreement contains certain rights and obligations of both parties, with the key points summarized as follows: (i) we have non-exclusive rights to provide the services covered to DISH; however, we have guaranteed minimum fees regardless of the amount of services provided; (ii) the termination of the new agreement under certain conditions; (iii) various service level commitments; and (iv) remedies and limitation on liabilities associated with specified breaches of contractual obligations.

The new DISH agreement also provides an option to extend the processing and related services portion for an additional three years through December 31, 2015. The exercise of this option would also extend the print and mail services portion of the new agreement for one year through December 31, 2015. As an incentive for DISH to exercise this option, we would begin invoicing DISH for processing and related services on a per-customer-account basis (rather than based on a fixed monthly amount as discussed above), and would provide DISH with volume-based tiered pricing, subject to annual price escalators. In conjunction with this extension option, DISH would be required to migrate to our ACP platform. In return, we would receive exclusivity for processing and print and mail services for DISH’s direct satellite broadcast customer accounts through December 31, 2015. Under this option, the expected annual fees we would generate under the new DISH agreement would decrease when compared to the annual fees expected to be generated under the current three-year term ending December 31, 2012; however, the overall total fees expected to be generated under the new agreement would increase as a result of the extended term of the agreement through December 31, 2015.

A copy of the new DISH agreement, with confidential information redacted, is filed as Exhibit 10.23 to this Form 10-K.

Time Warner. Time Warner is our third largest client. For 2009 and 2008, revenues from Time Warner represented approximately 13% and 14%, respectively, of our total revenues. Our processing agreement with Time Warner runs through March 31, 2013. The Time Warner processing agreement contains provisions establishing annual minimum customer account levels that have to be processed on our solutions, which we expect Time Warner to exceed based on the number of Time Warner customers currently on our solutions. The Time Warner processing agreement and related material amendments, with confidential information redacted, are included in the exhibits to our periodic filings with the SEC.

Charter. Charter is our fourth largest client. For 2009 and 2008, revenues from Charter represented approximately 9% and 8%, respectively, of our total revenues.

On February 17, 2009, we entered into a new processing agreement with Charter to expand the use of our solutions supporting Charter’s national video, high-speed data, and telephony footprint through December 31, 2014. Our previous contract with Charter went through December 31, 2012. The new agreement contains minimum financial commitments over the life of the agreement. Prior to this new agreement, we provided print and mail solutions to 100% of Charter’s residential customers and customer interaction management solutions to approximately 60% of Charter’s residential customers. Under the new agreement, we began converting these remaining residential customer accounts to our solutions during the third quarter of 2009, and completed these conversions in the fourth quarter of 2009.

On March 27, 2009, Charter filed its pre-arranged bankruptcy and restructuring plan (the “Plan”) with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court (the “Court”). Subsequently, the Court approved Charter’s request, subject to certain terms and conditions, to pay trade creditors, including us, in full for pre- and post-petition invoices payable in the ordinary course of business. As a result, we determined that no reserves were necessary related to our outstanding Charter receivables or possible claims of preferential payments. On November 17, 2009, the Court entered an order confirming the Plan, and on November 30, 2009, the Plan became effective. Going forward, we are positioned to be a key partner in helping Charter achieve its operational goals under the terms of our agreement.

Data Center Transition

We currently utilize FDC to provide the data center computing environment for the delivery of most of our customer care and billing services and related solutions under a contract that was scheduled to expire at the end of June 2010, but was recently amended to provide us options to continue the use of certain FDC data center services through December 31, 2010. FDC has provided these data center services to us since the inception of our company in 1994. In December 2008, we entered into an agreement with Infocrossing to transition these outsourced data center services from FDC to Infocrossing prior to the expiration of the FDC contract term. The term of the Infocrossing agreement is five years beginning on the date of full conversion of our computing environment from FDC to Infocrossing. We are changing data center providers to partner with a global provider that focuses on data center operations in greater scale, and as their core business focus. This allows us to further improve the delivery of our solutions while benefiting from an improved cost structure.

We began our transition efforts to the new Infocrossing data center in the first quarter of 2009, and expect to substantially complete the transition project in mid-2010. We are tracking the costs attributable to our decision to change data center service providers separately, as we consider these costs to be unique and infrequent in nature. These costs relate primarily to our efforts to set-up, replicate, transition, and operate the computing environment at Infocrossing, while maintaining and operating the computing environment at the FDC data center. The network and computing environment will be transitioned from FDC to Infocrossing in various planned stages over the project period, requiring us to incur certain costs to operate two separate data centers. This staged and replicated data center approach was designed to mitigate the risk of disruption to our clients during the transition period, but does result in certain cost inefficiencies during the transition period due to such things as redundant data processing costs, accelerated and redundant hardware- and software-related purchases, and costs incurred to maintain communications and data integrity between the two data center locations.

During 2009, we incurred $15.5 million (pretax impact) of expense related to these transition efforts, or approximately $0.29 per diluted share negative impact. These costs include such things as the following: (i) equipment- and software-related costs; (ii) data communications and data processing costs; and (iii) labor and third-party consulting fees for the transition team. These data center transition expenses are included in the following captions in the Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands):

	2009
Cost of processing and related services.	$	13,570
Depreciation		1,916
Total data center transition expenses	$	15,486

Additionally, during 2009, we spent approximately $16 million on capital expenditures related to network and computer equipment needed to set-up and replicate the computing environment at the new Infocrossing data center location.

For 2010, we estimate that the Data Center Transition Expenses will be approximately $22 million to $25 million (pretax impact), or approximately $0.42 to $0.47 per diluted share negative impact, and are expected to have a negative impact of approximately $13 million on our 2010 cash flows from operations. Additionally, we expect

30

our 2010 capital expenditures related to the data center transition to be approximately $3 million. These amounts are based on the best available estimates at this time and may fluctuate up or down as we continue to execute on our transition plan.

The Infocrossing agreement, with confidential information redacted, is included in the exhibits to our periodic filings with the SEC.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to select appropriate accounting policies, and to make judgments and estimates affecting the application of those accounting policies. In applying our accounting policies, different business conditions or the use of different assumptions may result in materially different amounts reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have identified the most critical accounting policies that affect our financial condition and the results of our operations. These critical accounting policies were determined by considering our accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. The most critical accounting policies identified relate to: (i) revenue recognition; (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts receivable; (iii) impairment assessments of long-lived assets; (iv) income taxes; and (v) business combinations and asset purchases. These critical accounting policies, as well as our other significant accounting policies, are disclosed in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition. The revenue recognition policy that involves the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments that may have a material impact on our business’ operations relates to the accounting for multiple-element arrangements when determining a revenue arrangement’s separate units of accounting.

For multiple-element arrangements that are not subject to a higher level of authoritative literature, we are required to evaluate all deliverables in the arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting. If the deliverables qualify as separate units of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated among the separate units of accounting based upon their relative fair values, and applicable revenue recognition criteria are considered for the separate units of accounting. If the deliverables do not qualify as separate units of accounting, the consideration allocable to delivered items is combined with the consideration allocable to the undelivered items, and the appropriate recognition of revenue is then determined for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. For the processing agreements, we have generally concluded that the deliverables do not qualify as separate units of accounting, and thus have treated the deliverables as a single unit of accounting, with the revenue recognized ratably over the term of the processing agreement. The determination of

31

separate units of accounting, and the determination of objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered items, if applicable, both require judgments to be made by us.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on client-specific allowances, as well as a general allowance. Specific allowances are maintained for clients which are determined to have a high degree of collectibility risk based on such factors, among others, as: (i) the aging of the accounts receivable balance; (ii) the client’s past payment experience; (iii) the economic condition of the industry in which the client conducts the majority of its business; and (iv) a deterioration in a client’s financial condition, evidenced by weak financial condition and/or continued poor operating results, reduced credit ratings, and/or a bankruptcy filing. In addition to the specific allowance, we maintain a general allowance for all our accounts receivable which are not covered by a specific allowance. The general allowance is established based on such factors, among others, as: (i) the total balance of the outstanding accounts receivable, including considerations of the aging categories of those accounts receivable; (ii) past history of uncollectible accounts receivable write-offs; and (iii) the overall creditworthiness of the client base.

Impairment Assessments of Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets.

Goodwill. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment on an annual basis. We have elected to do our annual test for possible impairment as of July 31 of each year. In addition to this annual requirement, goodwill is required to be evaluated for possible impairment on a periodic basis (e.g., quarterly) if events occur or circumstances change that could indicate a possible impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit which includes the goodwill is greater than the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, an impairment loss (equal to the excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over its estimated fair value) is recorded. As of July 31, 2009, we had goodwill of approximately $105 million, which was assigned to four different reporting units. In each case, the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and therefore, we concluded there was no impairment of goodwill.

We utilize discounted cash flow models as the primary basis to estimate the fair value amounts used in our goodwill impairment valuation. Our estimates of fair value are based upon various key modeling assumptions such as: (i) projected future sales, which include assumptions around market penetration and growth, and the success of any new product and service offerings; (ii) the profitability of future operations; and (iii) the appropriate discount rate. These assumptions, by their nature, are subject to significant judgments by management of the company. The outcome of a discounted cash flow model can be highly sensitive to small changes in one or more of these key assumptions. As a result, small changes to one or more of these assumptions due to such factors as: (i) a significant adverse change in the legal environment or in the business climate; (ii) unanticipated or increased competition; (iii) an unexpected change in strategic direction towards product solutions, or target markets, and (iv) loss of key personnel, could materially affect the determination of fair value which could result in a future impairment of goodwill.

We have considered the impacts of the recent significant economic downturn and the difficulties within the financial and credit markets in determining the assumptions used to model our discounted cash flows. The determination of these assumptions are subject to significant judgments by management of the company, and the subjectivity in determining such assumption increases as cash flows are modeled further into the future, especially during times of economic uncertainties. We believe that the assumptions utilized in our most recent discounted cash flow models are reasonable. However, if we do not achieve our near-term financial or operating goals, and/or the economic downturn becomes more severe, resulting in additional tightening of client spending and/or further lengthening of client sales cycles, it may require us to modify our assumptions in future periods such that the estimated fair value of one or more of the reporting units is materially changed, which may result in an impairment loss. This risk is greatest in our interactive messaging and customer intelligence reporting units, as these businesses are more dependent upon economic recovery to achieve their future business successes. The total value of goodwill assigned to these reporting units is approximately $41 million as of December 31, 2009. If a goodwill impairment was to be recorded in

32

the future, it would likely materially impact our results of operations in the period such impairment is recognized, but such an impairment charge is a non-cash expense, and therefore would have no impact on our cash flows, or on the financial condition of our company.

Other Long-lived Assets. Long-lived assets other than goodwill, which for us relates primarily to property and equipment, software, and client contracts, are required to be evaluated for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. A long-lived asset is impaired if estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with that asset, without consideration of interest, are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Once deemed impaired, even if by $1, the long-lived asset is written down to its fair value which could be considerably less than the carrying amount or future undiscounted cash flows. The determination of estimated future cash flows and, if required, the determination of the fair value of a long-lived asset, are by their nature, highly subjective judgments. Changes to one of more of the assumptions utilized in such an analysis could materially affect our impairment conclusions for long-lived assets.

Income Taxes. We are required to estimate our income tax liability in each jurisdiction in which we operate, which is primarily the U.S. (including both Federal and state income taxes). Various judgments are required in evaluating our income tax positions and determining our provisions for income taxes. During the ordinary course of our business, there are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate income tax determination may be uncertain. In addition, we may be subject to examination of our income tax returns by various tax authorities which could result in adverse outcomes. For these reasons, we establish a liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits based on estimates of whether additional taxes and interest may be due. We adjust this liability based upon changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, the closing of a tax year upon the expiration of a statute of limitations, or the refinement of an estimate. Should any of the factors considered in determining the adequacy of this liability change significantly, an adjustment to the liability may be necessary. Because of the potential significance of these issues, such an adjustment could be material.

Business Combinations and Asset Purchases. Accounting for business combinations and asset purchases, including the allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values, requires us in certain circumstances to estimate fair values for items that have no ready market or for which no independent market exists. Under such circumstances, we use our best judgment to determine a fair value based upon inference to other transactions and other data. As a result, the amounts determined by us for such items as accounts receivable, identifiable intangible assets, goodwill, and deferred revenue are not individually the result of an arm’s length transaction, but are the result of management estimates of the fair value and the allocation of the purchase price. Accordingly, revenue recognized by us related to fulfillment of assumed contractual obligations is based on fair value estimates made by us.

For larger and/or more complex acquisitions, the assignment of value to individual assets and liabilities generally requires the use of a specialist, such as an appraiser or valuation expert. The assumptions we use in the appraisal or valuation process are forward-looking, and thus are subject to significant judgments and interpretations by us. Because individual assets and liabilities: (i) may be expensed immediately upon acquisition (e.g., purchased in-process R&D assets); (ii) amortized over their estimated useful life (e.g., acquired software); (iii) not amortized at all (e.g., goodwill), and (iv) remeasured to fair value at each future reporting date until the contingency is resolved (e.g., contingent consideration), the assigned values could have a material impact on our results of operations in current and future periods.

Business Acquisitions

As discussed in the Business Section, during 2008 and 2007, we completed the following four business acquisitions: (i) Quaero on December 31, 2008; (ii) DataProse on April 30, 2008; (iii) Prairie on August 10, 2007; and (iv) ComTec on July 9, 2007. These business acquisitions have impacted the year-over-year results of operations, and as a result, any reference to the impact of the acquired businesses between 2009 and 2008 is

33

referring to the year-over-year impact of the Quaero and DataProse acquisitions, whereas, any reference to the impact of the acquired businesses between 2008 and 2007 is referring to the year-over-year impact of the DataProse, Prairie, and ComTec acquisitions.

Detailed Discussion of Results of Operations

Total Revenues. Total revenues for: (i) 2009 increased 6.1% to $500.7 million, from $472.1 million for 2008; and (ii) 2008 increased 12.6% to $472.1 million, from $419.3 million for 2007. The increases in total revenues are reflective of the success we have experienced in our plan to grow top-line revenues and achieve market diversification through both acquisitions and organic growth, as discussed in further detail below. Approximately 57% of the increase in revenues between 2009 and 2008, and approximately 75% of the increase in revenues between 2008 and 2007, relate to the year-over-year impacts of the additional revenues generated from the acquired businesses, with the remaining portion of the increases attributed to organic growth factors. The components of total revenues are discussed in more detail below.

Processing Revenue. Processing revenues for: (i) 2009 increased 5.7% to $465.0 million, from $440.0 million for 2008; and (ii) 2008 increased 15.2% to $440.0 million, from $382.1 million for 2007.

• Approximately 42% of the increase in processing revenues between 2009 and 2008 is related to the impact of the acquired businesses, with the remaining portion attributed to organic growth resulting from: (i) increased utilization of new and existing products by our clients, to include such things as color print and various ancillary customer care solutions, and (ii) conversions of customer accounts onto our solutions.

• Approximately 69% of the increase in processing revenues between 2008 and 2007 is related to the revenues generated from the acquired businesses (as all of the DataProse, Prairie, and ComTec revenues fall within this revenue classification). The remaining processing revenue growth can be attributed to organic growth resulting from increased utilization of new and existing products and services by our clients, to include such things as: (i) higher usage of marketing services; and (ii) various ancillary customer care solutions, such as order workflow tools, professional services, system interfaces and reporting tools.

Additional information related to processing revenues is as follows:

• Amortization of the client contracts intangible asset (reflected as a reduction of processing revenues) for 2009, 2008, and 2007, was $4.5 million, $9.2 million, and $14.4 million, respectively. The decrease in amortization from 2008 to 2009 and from 2007 to 2008 is due to the change in the life of the Comcast client contract intangible asset as a result of the extension of the contractual arrangement with Comcast effective July 1, 2008.

• Total customer accounts processed on our solutions as of December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, were 48.6 million, 45.3 million, and 45.1 million, respectively. During 2009, we converted 3.1 million customer accounts onto our solutions.

Software, Maintenance and Services Revenues. Software, maintenance and services revenues for: (i) 2009 increased 11.4% to $35.7 million, from $32.1 million for 2008; and (ii) 2008 decreased 13.7% to $32.1 million, from $37.2 million for 2007.

• The increase in software, maintenance and services revenue between 2009 and 2008 is due to the additional revenues generated in 2009 from the Quaero acquisition (as a portion of Quaero’s revenues fall within the professional services revenues classification). This increase is partially offset by lower professional services in other areas of our business, as a result of the timing and type of work our professional services team have been engaged in (e.g., set-up/implementation efforts which require the fees be deferred upfront and recognized over the life of the services agreement).

34

• The decrease in software, maintenance and services revenue between 2008 and 2007 is due to lower professional services revenues and lower software-related revenues, as a result of the timing and type of work our professional services team has been engaged in.

Cost of Processing and Related Services (Exclusive of Depreciation). The cost of processing and related services revenues consists principally of the following: (i) data processing and network communications costs; (ii) statement production costs (e.g., labor, paper, envelopes, equipment, equipment maintenance, etc.); (iii) client support organizations (e.g., our client support call center, account management, etc.); (iv) various product support organizations (e.g., product management and delivery, product maintenance, etc.); (v) facilities and infrastructure costs related to the statement production and support organizations; and (vi) amortization of acquired client contracts. The costs related to new product development (including significant enhancements to existing products and services) are included in R&D expenses.

The cost of processing and related services for: (i) 2009 increased 10.2% to $249.3 million, from $226.3 million for 2008; and (ii) 2008 increased 17.2% to $226.3 million, from $193.1 million for 2007.

• The increase in cost of processing and related services revenues between 2009 and 2008 can be attributed to: (i) the costs related to our data center transition efforts, discussed earlier, as we incurred $13.6 million of expense that is included in the 2009 cost of processing and related services revenues; and (ii) the year-over-year impact of the acquired businesses.

• Approximately 87% of the 2008 increase in cost of processing and related services between years related to the impact of the acquired businesses (as all of DataProse, Prairie, and ComTec’s cost of revenues fall within this expense classification).

Total processing and related services cost of revenues as a percentage of our processing and related services revenues for 2009, 2008, and 2007 were 53.6%, 51.4%, and 50.5%, respectively.

• The increase in percentages between 2009 and 2008 is due to the additional costs related to our data center transition efforts, which accounted for 2.9% percentage points of the 2009 total percentage.

• The sequential increase in processing costs as a percentage of processing and related services revenues between 2008 and 2007 is due to the impact of the acquired businesses.

Cost of Software, Maintenance and Services (Exclusive of Depreciation). The cost of software, maintenance and services revenues consists principally of the following: (i) client support organizations (e.g., our client support call center, account management, etc.); (ii) various product support organizations (e.g., product management and delivery, product maintenance, etc.); (iii) professional services organization; (iv) facilities and infrastructure costs related to these organizations; (v) third- party software costs and/or royalties related to certain software products; and (vi) amortization of acquired software and acquired client contracts. The costs related to new product development (including significant enhancements to existing products and services) are included in R&D expenses.

The cost of software, maintenance and services for: (i) 2009 increased 38.6% to $26.3 million, from $19.0 million for 2008; and (ii) 2008 decreased 23.0% to $19.0 million, from $24.7 million for 2007.

• The increase between 2009 and 2008 is almost entirely attributed to increases in employee-related costs, primarily as a result of the Quaero acquisition.

• The decrease in cost of software, maintenance and services between 2008 and 2007 reflects a reassignment of personnel and related costs that were previously working on software maintenance projects to R&D projects.

Total cost of software, maintenance and services as a percentage of our software, maintenance and services revenues for 2009, 2008, and 2007 were 73.7%, 59.2%, and 66.3%, respectively. Variability in quarterly revenues and operating results are inherent characteristics of companies that sell software licenses and perform professional services. Our quarterly revenues for software licenses and professional services may fluctuate,

35

depending on various factors, including the timing of executed contracts and revenue recognition, and the delivery of contracted services or products. However, the costs associated with software and professional services revenues are not subject to the same degree of variability (i.e., these costs are generally fixed in nature within a relatively short period of time), and thus, fluctuations in our cost of software, maintenance and services as a percentage of our software, maintenance and services revenues will likely occur between periods.

R&D Expense (Exclusive of Depreciation). R&D expense for: (i) 2009 increased 4.2% to $70.1 million, from $67.3 million for 2008 and (ii) 2008 increased 15.3% to $67.3 million, from $58.3 million for 2007. The increases in R&D expense between years was the result of an increase in personnel and related costs on R&D projects, as more employees were redirected to R&D efforts during 2009 and 2008, reflective of our increased focus on product development and enhancement efforts. We did not capitalize any software development costs related to our client solutions in 2009, 2008, or 2007.

Over the past few years, our R&D efforts have been focused on the continued evolution of our solutions, both functionally and architecturally, in response to market demands that our solutions have certain functional features and capabilities, as well as architectural flexibilities (such as service oriented architecture, or SOA). This evolution will result in the modularization of certain functionality that historically has been tightly integrated within our solution suite, which will allow us to respond more quickly to required changes to our solutions and provide greater interoperability with other computer systems. Although our primary value proposition to our clients will continue to be the breadth and depth of our integrated solutions, these R&D efforts will also allow us to separate certain product components so as to allow such components to be marketed on a stand-alone basis where a specific client requirement and/or business need dictates, including the use of certain solutions across non-CSG customer care and billing solutions. Additionally, we have focused our R&D efforts on the integration of our recently acquired technologies such as interactive messaging and customer intelligence with ACP, our core outsourced information processing product, as well as creating an integrated suite of customer interaction management solutions that also include e-care and printing/mailing capabilities, which are portable to new verticals such as utilities, healthcare, home security, financial services, and content distribution.

As a percentage of total revenues, R&D expense for 2009, 2008, and 2007, was 14.0%, 14.3%, and 13.9%, respectively. At this time, we expect our future R&D efforts to continue to focus on similar tasks as noted above. Additionally, we expect that the percentage of our total revenues invested in R&D to be relatively consistent with 2009, with the level of our R&D spend highly dependent upon the opportunities that we see in our markets.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense (Exclusive of Depreciation) (“SG&A”). SG&A expense for: (i) 2009 increased by 10.5% to $59.5 million, from $53.9 million for 2008; and (ii) 2008 increased 17.7% to $53.9 million, from $45.7 million for 2007. The increase in SG&A expenses between periods reflects the impact of the sales and marketing costs of the acquired businesses. As a percentage of total revenues, SG&A expense for 2009, 2008, and 2007, was 11.9%, 11.4%, and 10.9%, respectively.

Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense for all property and equipment is reflected separately in the aggregate and is not included in the cost of revenues or the other components of operating expenses. Depreciation expense for 2009, 2008, and 2007, was $20.1 million, $16.2 million, and $12.9 million, respectively. Included in the 2009 amount is $1.9 million of depreciation expense related to our data center transition efforts, discussed earlier. The sequential increases in depreciation expense is reflective of the increased capital expenditures we have made over the last several years (mainly related to statement production equipment, to include our investments in new color print technologies, and computer hardware, software, and related equipment) and the acquired property and equipment from our acquisition activities.

Operating Income. Operating income and operating income margin for: (i) 2009 was $74.7 million, or 14.9% of total revenues, compared to $89.3 million, or 18.9% of total revenues for 2008; and (i) 2008 was $89.3 million, or 18.9% of total revenues, compared to $83.8 million, or 20.0% of total revenues for 2007.

• The decrease in operating income and the operating income margin between 2009 and 2008 can be attributed to: (i) the expenses incurred as a result of our data center transition efforts, which had a

36

negative impact of 3.1% percentage points on our operating margin percentage for 2009; and (ii) the dilutive impact of the acquired businesses.

• The decrease in operating income margin between 2008 and 2007 is due to the dilutive impact of the acquired businesses.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Original Issue Discount (“OID”). Our interest expense relates primarily to our Convertible Debt Securities, which have a stated cash coupon rate of 2.5%. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of our Convertible Debt Securities to include the non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the Convertible Debt Securities’ OID.

Interest and Investment Income, net. Interest and investment income, net, for: (i) 2009 decreased 76.1% to $1.2 million, from $5.0 million for 2008; and (ii) 2008 decreased 69.8% to $5.0 million, from $16.5 million for 2007. The decrease in interest and investment income, net, between periods is due to: (i) a decrease in the overall rate of return realized on investments during 2009 and 2008 due to a deterioration in the interest rate environment; and (ii) the significant decrease in our cash and short-term investment balances between 2008 and 2007 as a result of our stock repurchase activity in 2007 and the purchase of the acquired businesses in 2008 and 2007.

Income Tax Provision. Our effective income tax rates for 2009, 2008, and 2007 were as follows:

2009	2008	2007
34%	34%	35%

Our historical effective income tax rate has been at or below the statutory Federal income tax rate due to our consistent generation of research and experimentation credits.

During 2009, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced an examination with respect to our Federal income tax returns filed for fiscal years 2006 and 2007. We regularly assess the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these types of examinations to determine the adequacy of our income tax provision and believe that we are adequately reserved for any potential adjustment that may result from the current examination, and therefore do not expect the results of the examination to have a significant impact to our results of operations. Should any of the factors considered in determining the adequacy of this liability change significantly, an adjustment to the liability may be necessary. Because of the potential significance of these issues, such an adjustment could be material.

Liquidity

Cash and Liquidity. As of December 31, 2009, our principal sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $198.4 million, compared to $141.2 million as of December 31, 2008, with the increase attributed to our strong cash flows generated from operating activities. We generally invest our excess cash balances in low-risk, short-term investments to limit our exposure to market and credit risks. We have ready access to essentially all of our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. We calculate our cash flows from operating activities beginning with net income, adding back the impact of non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization, amortization of OID, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation, etc.), and then factoring in the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Our primary source of cash is from our operating activities. Our current business model consists of a significant amount of recurring revenue sources related to our long-term processing arrangements (mostly billed monthly), and software maintenance agreements (billed monthly, quarterly, or annually). This recurring revenue base provides us with a reliable and predictable source of cash. In addition, software license fees and professional services revenues are sources of cash, but the payment streams for these items are not as predictable.

The primary use of our cash is to fund our operating activities. Approximately 53% of our total operating costs relate to labor costs (both employees and contracted labor) for the following: (i) compensation; (ii) related fringe benefits; and (iii) reimbursements for travel and entertainment expenses. The other primary cash requirements for

37

our operating expenses consist of: (i) postage; (ii) data processing and related services and communication lines for our outsourced processing business; (iii) paper, envelopes, and related supplies for our statement processing solutions; and (iv) rent and related facility costs. These items are purchased under a variety of both short-term and long-term contractual commitments. A summary of our material contractual obligations is provided below.

See “Cash Flows From Investing Activities” and “Cash Flows From Financing Activities” below for the other primary sources and uses of our cash.

Our 2008 and 2009 consolidated net cash flows from operating activities, broken out between operations and changes in operating assets and liabilities, for the indicated periods are as follows (in thousands):

	Operations		Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities			Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities—Totals
Cash Flows from Operating Activities:
2008:
March 31	$	31,538	$	(10,686	)	$	20,852
June 30		28,225		19,052			47,277
September 30		30,440		(2,881	)		27,559
December 31		24,558		(5,599	)		18,959

Year-to-date total	$	115,020	$	38,039		$	153,059

We believe the above table illustrates our ability to consistently generate strong quarterly and annual cash flows, and the importance of managing our working capital items. As the table above illustrates, the operations portion of our cash flows from operating activities remains relatively consistent between periods. The variations in our net cash provided by operating activities are related mostly to the changes in our operating assets and liabilities related to our operations (related mostly to normal fluctuations in timing at quarter-end for such things as client payments and changes in accrued expenses), and generally over longer periods of time, do not significantly impact our cash flows from operations.

Significant fluctuations in key operating assets and liabilities between 2009 and 2008 that impacted our cash flows from operating activities are as follows:

Billed Trade Accounts Receivable

Management of our billed accounts receivable is one of the primary factors in maintaining strong quarterly cash flows from operating activities. Our billed trade accounts receivable balance includes billings for several non-revenue items (primarily postage, sales tax, and deferred revenue items). As a result, we evaluate our performance in collecting our accounts receivable through our calculation of days billings outstanding (“DBO”) rather than a typical days sales outstanding (“DSO”) calculation. DBO is calculated based on the billings for the period (including non-revenue items) divided by the average monthly net trade accounts receivable balance for the period.

38

Our gross and net billed trade accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts receivable (“Allowance”) as of the end of the indicated quarterly periods, and the related DBOs for the quarters then ended, are as follows (in thousands, except DBOs):

Quarter Ended	Gross		Allowance			Net Billed		DBOs
2008:
March 31	$	126,062	$	(1,476	)	$	124,586	59
June 30		107,226		(1,557	)		105,669	59
September 30		109,490		(1,594	)		107,896	55
December 31		123,277		(2,999	)		120,278	56
2009:
March 31		133,041		(2,831	)		130,210	58
June 30		112,612		(2,148	)		110,464	58
September 30		114,403		(2,079	)		112,324	54
December 31		109,846		(2,036	)		107,810	50

The changes in our gross and net billed trade accounts receivable shown in the table above reflect the normal fluctuations in the timing of client payments made at quarter-end, evidenced by our consistent DBO metric over the past several quarters.

Deferred Revenue

Total deferred revenue (current and non-current) increased $25.4 million, from $21.4 million as of December 31, 2008 to $46.8 million as of December 31, 2009, as a result of certain large contractual upfront billings for future services that were paid during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Our typical investing activities consist of purchases/sales of short-term investments, purchases of property and equipment, and investments in client contracts, which are discussed below. However, as discussed above, during 2008 and 2007, we made the following acquisitions, which are included in our cash flows from investing activities: (i) Quaero in December 2008; (ii) DataProse in April 2008; (iii) Prairie in August 2007; and (iv) ComTec in July 2007.

Purchases/Sales of Short-term Investments.

During 2009, 2008, and 2007, we purchased $57.0 million, $83.1 million, and $209.4 million, respectively, and sold or had mature $79.7 million, $36.2 million, and $379.0 million, respectively, of short-term investments. We continually evaluate the possible uses of our excess cash balances and will likely purchase additional short-term investments in the future.

Property and Equipment/Client Contracts.

Our annual capital expenditures for property and equipment, and investments in client contracts were as follows (in thousands):

	2009		2008		2007
Property and equipment	$	40,313	$	21,577	$	20,271
Client contracts		16,423		4,000		7,436

Of the $40.3 million spent on property and equipment during 2009, approximately $16 million was related to various network and computing equipment related to our data center transition efforts. The remaining expenditures consisted principally of: (i) statement production equipment to include our investments in new color print technologies; and (ii) computer hardware, software, and related equipment.

Our investments in client contracts for 2009, 2008, and 2007, relate primarily to: (i) cash incentives provided to clients to convert their customer accounts to, or retain their customer’s accounts on, our

39

customer care and billing systems; and (ii) direct and incremental costs incurred for conversion/set-up services related to long-term processing arrangements where we are required to defer conversion/set-up services fees and recognize those fees as the related processing services are performed. For 2009, 2008, and 2007, our: (i) investments in client contracts related to cash incentives were $11.5 million, $2.4 million, and $5.9 million, respectively; and (ii) the deferral of costs related to conversion/set-up services provided under long-term processing contracts were $4.9 million, $1.6 million, and $1.5 million, respectively.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. We have had limited financing activities over the last several years, and historically, we have not been active in the capital markets. Our financing activities typically consist of various activities with our common stock, which are discussed below. However, during 2009 and 2008 we repurchased $30.0 million and $29.7 million (par value) of our Convertible Debt Securities for $26.7 million and $22.4 million, respectively.

Issuance of Common Stock.

Proceeds from the issuance of common stock for 2009, 2008, and 2007, were $1.5 million, $1.2 million, and $2.2 million, respectively, and relates primarily to employee stock purchase plan purchases in 2009 and 2008 and the exercise of stock options in 2007.

Repurchase of Common Stock.

During 2009, 2008, and 2007, we repurchased shares of our common stock under the guidelines of our Stock Repurchase Program for $3.8 million, $4.0 million, and $307.6 million, respectively. In addition, outside of our Stock Repurchase Program, during 2009, 2008, and 2007, we repurchased from our employees and then cancelled approximately 195,000 shares, 136,000 shares, and 176,000 shares, of our common stock for $2.8 million, $1.8 million, and $4.0 million, respectively, in connection with minimum tax withholding requirements resulting from the vesting of restricted stock under our stock incentive plans.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments and Contingencies

We have various contractual obligations that are recorded as liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Other items, such as certain purchase commitments and other executory contracts are not recognized as liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, but are required to be disclosed.

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December 31, 2009, and the future periods in which such obligations are expected to be settled in cash (in thousands).

	Total		Less than 1 year		Years 2-3		Years 4-5		More than 5 Years
Long-term debt	$	176,876	$	4,258	$	172,618	$	—	$	—
Capital and operating leases		43,379		10,826		17,704		8,176		6,673
Purchase obligations		172,496		49,413		60,119		51,139		11,825
Total	$	392,751	$	64,497	$	250,441	$	59,315	$	18,498

The contractual obligation amount reflected for our long-term debt is based upon the following assumptions: (i) our Convertible Debt Securities are put back to us by the holders at the first put date of June 15, 2011; (ii) upon settlement of the Convertible Debt Securities, our cash obligation will not exceed the principal amount of the Convertible Debt Securities; and (iii) interest paid through the life of the Convertible Debt Securities at a rate of 2.5% per annum. As discussed in Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, the Convertible Debt Securities can also be put back to us by the holders for cash on June 15, 2016 and 2021, and mature on June 15, 2024. If the Convertible Debt Securities are not put back to us on June 15, 2011, the contractual obligations and commercial commitments in Year 2 would decrease by approximately $168 million, and there would be further contractual obligations and commercial commitments related to long-term debt after Year 2 of up to approximately $224 million.

40

The operating leases are discussed in Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our purchase obligations consist primarily of our expected minimum base fees under the FDC and Infocrossing service agreements (discussed in Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements), and data communication and business continuity planning services.

Of the total contractual obligations and commercial commitments above, approximately $179 million is reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and approximately $214 million is not.

Capital Resources

The following are the key items to consider in assessing our sources and uses of capital resources:

Current Sources of Capital Resources.

• Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments. As of December 31, 2009, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $198.4 million.

• Operating Cash Flows. As described in the “Liquidity” section above, we believe we have the ability to consistently generate strong cash flows to fund our operating activities.

• Revolving Credit Facility. We had a five-year, $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of U.S. financial institutions that expired in September 2009. Historically, we have not relied on a revolving credit facility as a key source of capital, evidenced by the fact we had no borrowings against the revolving credit facility during the five years it was outstanding. Although we currently do not believe a revolving credit facility is a critical source of capital for us in the near term, we are currently evaluating our options for a new revolving credit facility as part of our regular long-term capital planning efforts.

Uses of Capital Resources. Below are the key items to consider in assessing our uses of capital resources:

• Common Stock Repurchases. We have made significant repurchases of our common stock in the past. During 2009, we repurchased 250,000 shares of our common stock for $3.8 million (weighted-average price of $15.13 per share). As of December 31, 2009, we have 5.7 million shares authorized for repurchase remaining under our Stock Repurchase Program. We continue to evaluate the best use of our capital going forward, which from time-to-time, may include additional share repurchases as market and business conditions warrant.

• Acquisitions. We have made five acquisitions in the last four years. Besides the cash paid at the date the acquisition closes, some acquisitions may include the payment of additional cash related to contingent purchase price payments. As discussed in Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, as of December 31, 2009, we have accrued $2.3 million for contingent purchase price payments related to 2009 to be made in the first quarter of 2010. In addition, in the future, we could potentially be paying up to $2.0 million in contingent purchase price payments related to 2010 in connection with the Quaero acquisition.

• Capital Expenditures. In 2009, we spent $40.3 million on capital expenditures. At this time, we expect our 2010 capital expenditures to be approximately $15 million, with approximately $3 million related to hardware and infrastructure items necessary to setup and replicate the new computing environment at Infocrossing, as discussed earlier. The remainder of our expected capital expenditures will consist principally of hardware and software infrastructure to support our clients’ expanding business needs, and statement production equipment to continue to offer enhanced functionalities to our clients. As of December 31, 2009, we have made no significant capital expenditure commitments.

41

• Investments in Client Contracts. In the past, we have provided incentives to new or existing clients to convert their customer accounts to, or retain their customer’s accounts on, our customer care and billing solutions. During 2009, we made client incentive payments of $11.5 million. As of December 31, 2009, we did not have any material commitments for investments in client contracts which are payable by us only upon the successful conversion of certain additional customer accounts to our processing solutions.

• Long-Term Debt. Our Convertible Debt Securities are callable by us for cash, on or after June 20, 2011, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the par value of the Convertible Debt Securities, plus accrued interest. The Convertible Debt Securities can be put back to us by the holders for cash at June 15, 2011, 2016 and 2021, or upon a change of control, as defined in the Convertible Debt Securities bond indenture, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the par value of the Convertible Debt Securities, plus any accrued interest. The Convertible Debt Securities are also convertible under specified conditions. Upon conversion of the Convertible Debt Securities, we will settle our conversion obligation as follows: (i) we will pay cash for 100% of the $170.3 million par value of the Convertible Debt Securities; and (ii) to the extent our conversion obligation exceeds the par value, we will satisfy the remaining conversion obligation in our common stock, cash or any combination of our common stock and cash. During the next twelve months, there are no call or put options available, and we do not expect the occurrence of any conversion triggers. As a result, during the next twelve months and based upon the December 31, 2009 par value, we expect our required debt service cash outlay related to the Convertible Debt Securities to be limited to annual interest payments of $4.3 million.

If the Convertible Debt Securities are put back to us on June 15, 2011, we will have to settle the following obligations in cash: (i) $170.3 million par value; and (ii) approximately $42 million of deferred tax liabilities related to the outstanding securities.

As noted above, during 2009, we voluntarily repurchased $30.0 million (par value) of our Convertible Debt Securities for $26.7 million. This represents a weighted-average purchase price of approximately 88% of par value for the bonds we repurchased, and represents a pre-tax yield to us of approximately 8.5%, assuming these bonds were to be retired at the first put or call date in June 2011. We will continue to track and evaluate the trading activity and valuations around our Convertible Debt Securities for possible future buying opportunities.

In summary, we expect to continue to make material investments in client contracts, capital equipment, and R&D. We expect to continue to evaluate the possibility of debt and equity repurchases in the future which includes actively evaluating options as it relates to the refinancing of our debt, considering the fact that there is a put option available to the bondholders in June 2011. In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we are continually evaluating potential business and/or asset acquisitions, and investments in market share expansion with our existing and potential new clients. We believe that our current cash and short-term investments balance, together with cash expected to be generated from future operating activities, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. We also believe we could obtain additional capital through other debt sources which may be available to us if deemed appropriate.

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing fixed charges into earnings. “Earnings” is defined as income from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense (including the amortization of original issue discount and deferred financing costs) and the estimated interest component of rental expense. Our consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges for 2009 was 4.51:1.00. See Exhibit 12.10 to this document for information regarding the calculation of our ratio of earnings to fixed charges.

42

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. As of December 31, 2009, we are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations and changes in the market value of our cash equivalents and short-term investments. We have not historically entered into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Market Risk Related to Long-Term Debt. The interest rate on the Convertible Debt Securities is fixed, and thus, as it relates to our borrowings under the Convertible Debt Securities, we are not exposed to changes in interest rates. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our long-term debt.

Market Risk Related to Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments. Our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $163.5 million and $83.9 million, respectively. Our cash balances are typically “swept” into overnight money market accounts on a daily basis, and at times, any excess funds are invested in low-risk, somewhat longer term, cash equivalent instruments and short-term investments. We have minimal market risk for our cash and cash equivalents due to the relatively short maturities of the instruments.

Our short-term investments as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $34.9 million and $57.3 million, respectively. The day-to-day management of our cash equivalents and short-term investments is performed by a large financial institution in the U.S., using strict and formal investment guidelines approved by our Board of Directors. Under these guidelines, short-term investments are limited to certain acceptable investments with: (i) a maximum maturity, (ii) a maximum concentration and diversification; and (iii) a minimum acceptable credit quality. At this time, we believe we have minimal liquidity risk associated with the short-term investments included in our portfolio.

We do not utilize any derivative financial instruments for purposes of managing our market risks related to interest rate risk.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of CSG Systems International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

(ii) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

(iii) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on our assessment and those criteria, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. That report appears immediately below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

CSG Systems International, Inc.:

We have audited CSG Systems International, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). CSG Systems International, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, CSG Systems International, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of CSG Systems International, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, and our report dated February 23, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General

CSG Systems International, Inc. (the “Company”, “CSG”, or forms of the pronoun “we”), a Delaware corporation, was formed in October 1994 and is based in Englewood, Colorado. We are a provider of customer interaction management solutions to the North American market.

Our solutions help our clients improve their profitability by creating more compelling product offerings and an enhanced customer experience through more relevant and targeted interactions. Recently, we have broadened and enhanced our solutions to not only increase our capabilities within our core communication industry that we currently serve, but to also allow us to provide a greater focus on an increasing number of industries in business-to-consumer areas including utilities, healthcare, home security, financial services, and content distribution. Our combination of solutions, services, and expertise ensure that our clients can rapidly launch new product offerings, improve operational efficiencies, and deliver high-quality customer service in a competitive and ever-changing marketplace. We are a S&P SmallCap 600 company.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”).

We have evaluated all subsequent events that have occurred through February 23, 2010, the date of this report, which is concurrent with the date we filed these financial statements in our Form 10-K with the SEC.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include all of our accounts and our subsidiaries’ accounts. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more critical estimates and related assumptions that affect our financial condition and results of operations are in the areas of: (i) revenue recognition; (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts receivable; (iii) impairment assessments of goodwill and other long-lived assets; (iv) income taxes; and (v) business combinations and asset purchases.

Revenue Recognition. We use various judgments and estimates in connection with the determination of the amount of revenues to be recognized in each accounting period. Our primary revenue recognition criteria include: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) delivery; (iii) fixed or determinable fees; and (iv) collectibility of fees.

For multiple-element arrangements that are not subject to a higher level of authoritative literature, we evaluate all deliverables in the arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting. If the deliverables qualify as separate units of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated among the separate units of accounting based upon their relative fair values, and applicable revenue recognition criteria are

53

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

considered for the separate units of accounting. If the deliverables do not qualify as separate units of accounting, the consideration allocable to delivered items is combined with the consideration allocable to the undelivered items, and the appropriate recognition of revenue is then determined for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. For the processing agreements that we have historically evaluated under the guidance of the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition literature, we have generally concluded that the deliverables do not qualify as separate units of accounting, and thus have treated the deliverables as a single unit of accounting, with the revenue recognized ratably over the term of the processing agreement. The determination of separate units of accounting, and the determination of objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered items, if applicable, both require judgments to be made by us.

We have historically derived a significant percentage of our total revenues from processing and related services. Processing and related services revenues consist primarily of monthly processing fees generated from our outsourced customer care and billing application, called ACP, and services ancillary to ACP, and generally, are not subject to various judgments and estimates in determining the proper revenue recognition. Processing and related services revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Processing fees are typically billed monthly based on the number of client’s customers served, ancillary services are typically billed on a per transaction basis, and customized print and mail services and other customer interaction services are billed on a usage basis. Fees received to convert client customers onto our outsourced customer care and billing applications and fees received to set-up/implement new services for existing clients (as well as the costs to perform the conversion or set-up services) are generally deferred and recognized over the term of the client’s processing arrangement.

Our historical revenues related to software licenses, maintenance services (also known as post-contract customer support, or PCS) and professional services are substantially less than those generated from processing and related services. Software and maintenance revenues consist of the sale of software licenses (principally one-time perpetual licenses) and related software maintenance services. Professional services revenues consist of a variety of consulting services, such as product installation, business consulting, and training services. A substantial percentage of the total combined revenues from these three sources comes from maintenance services.

For software arrangements that have multiple elements, such as software, maintenance and professional services, we allocate the contract value to the respective elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of their individual fair values. VSOE of fair value for maintenance services is established by pricing the maintenance services based upon a substantive maintenance renewal rate expressed as a consistent percentage of the stipulated license fees. For those software arrangements that have multiple elements for which we do not have VSOE of fair value on one or more of the delivered elements, we allocate the contract value to the respective elements based upon the “residual method”. Under the residual method, the undiscounted fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and subsequently recognized as they are delivered. Our software arrangements generally do not include implementation services that involve significant production, modification or customization of the software being licensed.

For certain software arrangements, we have agreed to “host” the software on our hardware. In this situation, the hosting services are treated as a separate element of the software arrangement when the client has a contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period without incurring a significant penalty, and it is feasible for the client to either run the software on its own hardware or contract with another party unrelated to us to host the software.

Maintenance fees are recognized ratably over the service period. Our maintenance services consist primarily of client and product support, technical updates (e.g., bug fixes, etc.), and unspecified upgrades or enhancements. If specified upgrades or enhancements are offered in an arrangement, which is rare, they are accounted for as a separate element of the arrangement.

54

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Revenues from professional services generally consist of software installation projects with a relatively short duration period. These revenues are generally recognized as the installation work is completed.

Deferred Revenue and Unbilled Accounts Receivable. Client payments and billed amounts due from clients in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue recognized prior to the scheduled billing date is recorded as unbilled accounts receivable. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 relates mainly to our processing and related services, of which a significant portion of the 2009 balance can be attributed to: (i) prepayments for future services; and (ii) fees received to set-up/implement new services for our existing clients’ customers which are being recognized over the term of the clients’ processing arrangements.

Postage. We pass through to our clients the cost of postage that is incurred on behalf of those clients, and typically require an advance payment on expected postage costs. These advance payments are included in “client deposits” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and are classified as current liabilities regardless of the contract period. We net the cost of postage against the postage reimbursements, and include the net amount in processing and related services revenues. The cost of postage that has been shown net of the postage reimbursements from our clients for 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $264.8 million, $251.8 million, and $213.7 million, respectively.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted new accounting pronouncements related to the accounting for convertible debt securities and the calculation of our earnings per share. These new accounting pronouncements were required to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. As a result, the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008 and the Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, have been restated.

The new accounting pronouncement related to convertible debt securities requires that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement), which would include our senior subordinated convertible contingent debt securities due June 15, 2024, (the “Convertible Debt Securities”), be separated into their liability and equity components at initial recognition by: (i) recording the liability component at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component; and (ii) attributing the remaining proceeds from the issuance to the equity component. The new pronouncement also requires that the original issue discount (“OID”) on the liability component of instruments within its scope be amortized using the interest method over the expected life of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component (considering the effects of prepayment features other than the conversion option).

The new accounting pronouncement related to participating securities provides guidance on the calculation of earnings per share for share-based payment awards with rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. Under the new accounting pronouncement’s guidance, unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) pursuant to the two-class method. Since the unvested restricted stock awards under our stock incentive plans, granted prior to August 2008, contain nonforfeitable rights to cash dividends, this new accounting pronouncement impacts how we calculate our basic and diluted EPS.

Upon adopting the new accounting pronouncement related to participating securities, basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders and participating securities (the numerators) by the respective weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period (the denominators) using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated among each class of common stock and participating security prior to the calculation of EPS. Diluted EPS is calculated similarly, except that the calculation includes the effect of potentially dilutive stock options and non-participating restricted stock awards. As a result of the implementation of the new accounting pronouncement, we have adjusted our

55

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

EPS data presented on the face of the accompanying Consolidated Income Statements retroactively to conform with the provisions in the new accounting pronouncement. See the EPS section below for a reconciliation of the basic and diluted EPS numerators and denominators.

The adoption of the new accounting pronouncement related to our Convertible Debt Securities had the following cumulative effects on our January 1, 2007 stockholders’ equity balances: (i) our accumulated earnings balance was reduced by $12.0 million; and (ii) our additional paid-in capital balance was increased by $40.7 million. The new accounting pronouncement related to participating securities impacts the manner in which basic and diluted EPS is calculated. The adoption of these new accounting pronouncements did not affect our actual or future cash flows. The effects of adopting these new accounting pronouncements on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2009, our cash equivalents consist primarily of commercial paper and institutional money market funds.

56

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Short-term Investments and Other Financial Instruments. Our financial instruments as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. Because of their short maturities, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair value.

Our short-term investments are considered “available-for-sale” and are reported at fair value in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, with unrealized gains and losses, net of the related income tax effect, excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized and unrealized gains and losses were not material in any period presented.

Our short-term investments at December 31, 2009 and 2008 consisted of the following (in thousands):

	As of December 31,
	2009		2008
Commercial paper	$	31,388	$	7,794
Certificates of deposit		3,500		—

Total	$	34,888	$	57,331

All short-term investments held by us as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 have contractual maturities of less than one year from the time of acquisition. Proceeds from the sale/maturity of short-term investments were $79.7 million, $36.2 million, and $379.0 million, in 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

The following table represents the fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs, of which Levels 1 and 2 are considered observable and Level 3 is unobservable, for our cash equivalents and short-term investments measured at fair value (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, our long-term debt consists of our Convertible Debt Securities (see Note 6). We have chosen not to measure our Convertible Debt Securities at fair value, with changes recognized in earnings each reporting period. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of our Convertible Debt Securities, based upon quoted market prices or recent sales activity, was approximately $169 million and $173 million, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to credit risk. The principal concentrations of credit risk relate to cash deposits, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. We regularly monitor credit risk exposures and take steps to mitigate the likelihood of these exposures resulting in a loss. We hold our cash deposits, cash equivalents, and short-term investments with financial institutions we believe to be of sound financial condition.

57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

We do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. We evaluate the credit worthiness of our clients in conjunction with our revenue recognition processes, as well as through our ongoing collectibility assessment processes for accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific clients, historical trends, and other information. We use various judgments and estimates in determining the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. See Note 4 for additional details of our concentration of accounts receivable.

The activity in our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is as follows (in thousands):

	2009			2008			2007
Balance, beginning of year	$	2,999		$	1,487		$	1,143
Additions/(reductions) to expense		(461	)		1,527			231

Other		5			73			167
Balance, end of year	$	2,036		$	2,999		$	1,487

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost (or at estimated fair value if acquired in a business combination) and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their economic life or the lease term. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes, with the exception of certain statement production equipment, which is depreciated using the units-of-production method. Depreciation expense for all property and equipment is reflected in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income separately in the aggregate and is not included in the cost of revenues or the other components of operating expenses. Depreciation for income tax purposes is computed using accelerated methods.

Software. We expend substantial amounts on research and development (“R&D”), particularly for new products and services, or for enhancements of existing products and services. For development of software products that are to be licensed by us, we expense all costs related to the development of the software until technological feasibility is established. Once technological feasibility is established, costs are then capitalized, until the general release of the software. For development of software to be used internally (e.g., processing systems software), we expense all costs prior to the application development stage.

During 2009, 2008, and 2007, we expended $70.1 million, $67.3 million, and $58.3 million, respectively, on R&D projects. We did not capitalize any R&D costs in 2009, 2008, or 2007, as the costs subject to capitalization during these periods were not material. We did not have any capitalized R&D costs included in our December 31, 2009 or 2008 accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Realizability of Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate our long-lived assets, other than goodwill, for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. A long-lived asset is impaired if estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with that asset are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. If deemed impaired, the long-lived asset is written down to its fair value.

Goodwill. We evaluate our goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. In addition, we evaluate our goodwill on a more periodic basis (e.g., quarterly) if events occur or circumstances change that could indicate a potential impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit which includes the goodwill is greater than the estimated fair value of the reporting unit.

Contingencies. We accrue for a loss contingency when: (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The determination of

58

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

accounting for loss contingencies is subject to various judgments and estimates. We do not record the benefit from a gain contingency until the benefit is realized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Potentially dilutive common shares related to stock options and non-participating unvested shares of restricted stock of 0.2 million, 0.3 million, and 0.3 million, respectively, for 2009, 2008, and 2007, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their effect was antidilutive.

We calculate the potential dilutive effect of our Convertible Debt Securities using the “treasury stock” method. Under the treasury stock method, we experience dilution related to the Convertible Debt Securities only in those quarterly periods in which our average stock price has exceeded the current effective conversion price of $26.77 per share.

Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees and non-employee directors. We measure stock-based compensation cost at the grant date of the award, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognize the cost (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period. Benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense, if any, are reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as an operating cash inflow. See Note 11 for further details regarding stock-based compensation.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Comprehensive Income. The components of comprehensive income are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective. In October 2009, the FASB issued a new pronouncement related to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. This new guidance requires a vendor to allocate revenue to each unit of accounting in many arrangements involving multiple deliverables based upon the relative selling price of each deliverable. It also changes the level of evidence of stand-alone selling price required to separate deliverables by allowing a vendor to make its best estimate of the stand-alone selling price of deliverables when more objective evidence of selling price is not available. The pronouncement also prohibits the use of the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration to deliverables, but instead, requires the use of the relative selling price method where the vendor must determine a stand-alone selling price for all deliverables that meet the separation criteria. The pronouncement’s scope is limited to multiple element arrangements, and does not apply to deliverables within the scope of the software revenue recognition rules or other authoritative literature that addresses both separation and allocation. The provisions of this new pronouncement are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and can be adopted prospectively to new or materially modified revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating when we will adopt this new pronouncement, as well as the impact that this new guidance will have on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

3. Acquisitions

Quaero Corporation. On December 31, 2008, we acquired Quaero Corporation (“Quaero”). Through December 31, 2009, we have made net cash purchase price payments related to the Quaero acquisition of $14.4 million, with $2.2 million of this amount being paid in 2009. Quaero was a marketing services provider with expertise in customer strategy, analytics, and marketing performance management. We acquired Quaero to broaden our solution suite with powerful customer intelligence capabilities, that will further assist our clients in

60

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

maximizing the value of their customer interactions. The Quaero acquisition has also allowed us to further diversify our revenue base and extend our reach into new industry verticals including financial services, pharmaceutical/healthcare, media/publishing, travel/hospitality, consumer, and high tech.

In addition to these cash purchase price payments, the Quaero merger agreement, as amended, includes provisions for contingent purchase price payments of up to $2.5 million through the end of 2010, contingent upon meeting various product integration milestones. As of December 31, 2009, we have accrued a contingent purchase price amount of $0.5 million that will be paid in the first quarter of 2010. The remaining $2.0 million of contingent purchase price payments have not been reflected in the Quaero purchase price as of December 31, 2009 due to the uncertainty of payment, and will be recorded as additional purchase price if and when the events associated with the contingencies are resolved or the outcome of the contingencies are determinable beyond a reasonable doubt.

There were no material changes to Quaero’s purchase accounting estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during 2009. The Quaero goodwill amount of $9.4 million as of December 31, 2009 has been assigned to a separate reporting unit within our one reportable segment. The Quaero goodwill and acquired intangible assets are deductible for income tax purposes.

DataProse, Inc. In April 2008, we acquired DataProse, Inc., (“DataProse”) for a total cash purchase price of $40.5 million. DataProse was a provider of statement presentment and direct mail services, assisting over 500 clients across the United States to market through improved billing statements and personalized direct mail. We acquired DataProse to further our objective of helping our clients maximize every customer interaction by both strengthening and broadening our portfolio of output solutions capabilities. Additionally, this acquisition has allowed us to diversify our client base into the utilities, financial services, and telecommunications markets, and add clients in the non-profit sectors of healthcare and higher education.

There were no changes to DataProse’s purchase accounting estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during 2009. The DataProse goodwill amount of $28.7 million as of December 31, 2009 has been assigned to a separate reporting unit within our one reportable segment. DataProse goodwill and acquired intangible assets are deductible for income tax purposes.

Prairie Voice Services, Inc. In 2007, we acquired Prairie Voice Services, Inc., (“Prairie”) which we subsequently renamed CSG Interactive Messaging, Inc., for a total cash purchase price of $49.5 million to date, which includes accrued but not paid contingent purchase price amounts of $1.8 million as of December 31, 2009. We paid contingent purchase price amounts of $3.0 million in 2009. Prairie was a provider of inbound and outbound automated voice, text/SMS, email, and fax messaging services to manage: (i) workforce communications; (ii) collections; (iii) lead generation; (iv) automated order capture; (v) service outage notifications; and (vi) other business functions. We acquired Prairie to extend our capabilities within our core cable and DBS markets, while also providing an established customer base in new industry verticals such as financial services and telecommunications.

ComTec, Inc. In 2007, we acquired ComTec, Inc. (“ComTec”) for a total cash purchase price of $24.9 million. ComTec was a provider of print and electronic statement processing services. We acquired ComTec to maximize customer interaction for clients by expanding our statement processing footprint and capabilities through the addition of enhanced statement production and electronic statement presentation hardware and software technologies. In addition, the acquisition has increased our presence in our core cable and DBS markets, while also providing an established customer base in new industry verticals such as utilities, healthcare, home security, and financial services markets.

4. Segment Reporting and Significant Concentration

Segment Information. We have evaluated how our chief operating decision maker has organized our company for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance, and have concluded that as of December 31, 2009, we have one reportable segment.

Products and Services. Our primary product offerings include our core customer care and billing solution, ACP, and related services and software products, to include our Intelligent Customer Communications solutions. We generate a substantial percentage of our total revenues by providing our ACP processing, Intelligent Customer Communications, and related software products to the North American cable and DBS markets. We license certain software products (e.g., ACSR, Workforce Express, etc.) and provide our professional services principally to our existing base of customer care and billing clients to enhance the core functionality of ACP, increase the efficiency and productivity of our clients’ operations, and allow clients to effectively roll out new products, such as high-speed-data, telephony, and commercial services, to new and existing markets. Our solutions help our clients improve their profitability by creating more compelling product offerings and an enhanced customer experience through more relevant and targeted interactions.

Geographic Regions. All revenues and long-lived assets are attributable to our operations in North America, primarily the U.S.

General Market Conditions. Over the past few years, the U.S. has experienced a significant economic downturn and difficulties within the financial and credit markets. The timing, duration, and degree of an economic turnaround are uncertain and thus, these adverse economic conditions may continue into the foreseeable future. The possible adverse impacts to companies during these times include a reduction in revenues, decreasing profits and cash flows, distressed or default debt conditions, and/or difficulties in obtaining necessary operating capital. All companies are likely to be impacted by the current economic conditions to a certain degree, including CSG, our clients, and/or key vendors in our supply chain.

Significant Clients and Industry Concentration. Over the past decade, the North American communications industry has experienced significant consolidation, resulting in a large percentage of the market being served by a limited number of service providers with greater size and scale. Consistent with this market concentration, a large percentage of our historical revenues have been generated from our four largest clients, which are Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”), DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”), Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”), and Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”). Revenues from these clients represented the following percentages of our total revenues for the following years:

	2009		2008		2007
Comcast	24	%	27	%	27	%
DISH	18	%	18	%	20	%
Time Warner	13	%	14	%	13	%
Charter	9	%	8	%	9	%

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the percentage of net billed accounts receivable balances attributable to these clients were as follows:

	As of December 31,
	2009		2008
Comcast	19	%	30	%
DISH	26	%	17	%
Time Warner	9	%	14	%
Charter	13	%	10	%

62

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

We expect to continue to generate a significant percentage of our future revenues from a limited number of clients, including Comcast, DISH, Time Warner, and Charter. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of clients. One such risk is that, should a significant client: (i) terminate or fail to renew their contracts with us, in whole or in part for any reason; (ii) significantly reduce the number of customer accounts processed on our solutions, the price paid for our services, or the scope of services that we provide; or (iii) experience significant financial or operating difficulties, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Property and equipment, net		$	56,799		$	42,594

Goodwill. We do not have any intangible assets with indefinite lives other than goodwill. A rollforward of goodwill in 2009 and 2008 is as follows (in thousands):

January 1, 2008 balance	$	60,745
Goodwill acquired during period		37,932
Adjustments related to prior acquisitions		5,294
December 31, 2008 balance		103,971
Adjustments related to prior acquisitions		3,081
December 31, 2009 balance	$	107,052

The goodwill acquired in 2008 is related to the DataProse and Quaero business acquisitions. The adjustments related to prior acquisitions made in 2009 and 2008 are mainly due to the recording of contingent purchase price payments of $3.4 million in 2009 for the Quaero and Prairie acquisition, and $4.9 million in 2008 for the Prairie and Telution acquisitions.

Other Intangible Assets. Our intangible assets subject to ongoing amortization consist of client contracts and software.

63

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Client Contracts

Client contracts consist of: (i) investments in client contracts; (ii) direct and incremental costs that we have capitalized related to contractual arrangements where we have deferred revenues to convert or set-up client customers onto our outsourced solutions; and (iii) client contracts acquired in business combinations. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the carrying values of these assets were as follows (in thousands):

	2009							2008

The aggregate amortization related to client contracts included in our operations for 2009, 2008, and 2007, was as follows (in thousands):

	2009		2008		2007
Investments in client contracts(1)	$	4,525	$	9,183	$	14,420
Capitalized costs(2)		1,077		2,246		1,057
Acquired client contracts(3)		4,087		2,293		856
Total client contracts	$	9,689	$	13,722	$	16,333

(1) Investments in client contracts consist principally of incentives provided to new or existing clients to convert their customer accounts to, or retain their customer’s accounts on, our customer care and billing systems. Investments in client contracts related to client incentives are amortized ratably over the lives of the respective client contracts, which as of December 31, 2009, have termination dates that range from 2011 through 2016. Amortization of the investments in client contracts related to client incentives is reflected as a reduction in processing and related services revenues in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

(2) Capitalized costs related to the deferral of conversion/set-up services costs are amortized proportionately over the same period that the deferred conversion/set-up services revenues are recognized, and are primarily reflected in cost of processing and related services in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

(3) Acquired client contracts represent assets acquired in the Quaero, DataProse, Prairie, ComTec, and Telution business acquisitions. Acquired client contracts are being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from ten months to twenty years. Classification of the amortization of acquired client contracts generally follows where the acquired business’ cost of revenues are categorized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

The weighted-average remaining amortization period of client contracts as of December 31, 2009 was approximately 55 months. Based on the December 31, 2009 net carrying value of these intangible assets, the estimated amortization for each of the five succeeding fiscal years ending December 31 will be: 2010—$10.9 million; 2011—$9.9 million; 2012—$9.1 million; 2013—$4.5 million; and 2014—$3.4 million.

The aggregate amortization related to software included in our operations for 2009, 2008, and 2007, was as follows (in thousands):

	2009		2008		2007
Acquired software(4)	$	2,017	$	1,789	$	1,456
Internal use software(5)		1,894		156		—
Total software	$	3,911	$	1,945	$	1,456

(4) Acquired software represents the software intangible assets acquired in the Quaero, DataProse, ComTec, Prairie, and Telution business acquisitions (see Note 3), and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from five to seven years.

(5) Internal use software represents: (i) third-party software licenses; and (ii) the internal and external costs related to the implementation of the third-party software licenses. Internal use software is amortized over its estimated useful life ranging from twelve months to five years.

The weighted-average remaining amortization period of the software intangible assets as of December 31, 2009 was approximately 46 months. Based on the December 31, 2009 net carrying value of these intangible assets, the estimated amortization for each of the five succeeding fiscal years ending December 31 will be: 2010—$4.5 million; 2011—$4.4 million; 2012—$3.0 million; and 2013—$0.3 million; and 2014—zero.

Convertible Debt Securities. On June 2, 2004, we completed an offering of $230.0 million of 2.5% senior subordinated convertible contingent debt securities due June 15, 2024 to qualified buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

The Convertible Debt Securities are unsecured, subordinated to any of our future senior debt, and senior to our future junior subordinated debt. The Convertible Debt Securities, issued at a price of 100% of their par value, bear interest at a rate of 2.5% per annum, which is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Convertible Debt Securities are callable by us for cash, on or after June 20, 2011, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the par value of the Convertible Debt Securities, plus accrued interest. The Convertible Debt Securities can be put back to us by the holders for cash at June 15, 2011, 2016 and 2021, or upon a change of control, as defined in the Convertible Debt Securities bond indenture (“Bond Indenture”), at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the par value of the Convertible Debt Securities, plus any accrued interest.

Commencing with the six-month period beginning June 15, 2011, we will pay contingent interest equal to 0.25% of the average trading price of the Convertible Debt Securities during any six-month period if the average trading

65

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

price of the Convertible Debt Securities for the five consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the first day of the six-month period equals 120% or more of the par value of the Convertible Debt Securities.

The Convertible Debt Securities are convertible into our common stock, under the specified conditions and settlement terms outlined below, at an initial conversion rate of 37.3552 shares per $1,000 par value of Convertible Debt Securities, which is equal to an effective conversion price of $26.77 per share. The Bond Indenture includes anti-dilution provisions for the holders such that the conversion rate (and thus, the effective conversion price) can be adjusted in the future for certain events, to include stock dividends, stock splits/reverse splits, the issuance of warrants to purchase our stock at a price below the then-current market price, cash dividends, and certain purchases by us of our common stock pursuant to a self-tender offer or exchange offer.

Holders of the Convertible Debt Securities can convert their securities: (i) at any time the price of our common stock trades over $34.80 per share (130% of the $26.77 effective conversion price) for a specified period of time; (ii) at any time the trading price of the Convertible Debt Securities fall below 98% of the average conversion value for the Convertible Debt Securities for a specified period of time; (iii) upon us exercising our right to redeem the Convertible Debt Securities at any time after June 20, 2011; (iv) at any time upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions, to include a change in control (as defined in the Bond Indenture); and (v) if a certain level of dividends are declared, or a certain number of shares of our common stock are repurchased under a self-tender offer by us. As of December 31, 2009, none of the contingent conversion features have been achieved, and thus, the Convertible Debt Securities are not convertible by the holders.

Upon conversion of the Convertible Debt Securities, we will settle our conversion obligation as follows: (i) we will pay cash for 100% of the $170.3 million par value of the Convertible Debt Securities; and (ii) to the extent our conversion obligation exceeds the par value, we will satisfy the remaining conversion obligation in our common stock, cash or any combination of our common stock and cash. As of December 31, 2009, our conversion obligation did not exceed the par value of the Convertible Debt Securities.

During 2009, we repurchased $30 million (par value) of our Convertible Debt Securities for $26.7 million in the open public market, and recognized a gain on the repurchase of $1.5 million. During 2008, we repurchased $29.7 million (par value) of our Convertible Debt Securities for $22.4 million in the open public market, and recognized a gain on the repurchase of $3.4 million. This repurchased debt has been considered extinguished for accounting purposes.

As discussed in Note 2, effective January 1, 2009, we adopted a new accounting pronouncement that required us to refer back to the original issuance of our Convertible Debt Securities in June 2004, and record a $67.6 million OID, which was the amount of the total proceeds of $230 million that was attributable to the convertible equity component of the Convertible Debt Securities. A corresponding amount assigned to the OID was recorded to stockholders’ equity (additional paid-in capital), net of deferred financing costs attributed to the equity component and net of income taxes. The OID is being amortized to book interest expense through June 15, 2011, which is the first date that the Convertible Debt Securities can be put back to us by the holders for cash. As of December 31, after the retrospective application of the new accounting pronouncement, the liability and equity components of the Convertible Debt Securities were as follows (in thousands):

	2009			2008
Liability component:
Principal amount	$	170,300		$	200,300
Unamortized OID		(12,853	)		(24,512	)
Net carrying amount	$	157,447		$	175,788
Equity component (included within additional paid-in capital)	$	39,752		$	40,649

Amortization of OID		8,382		9,767		9,198
Total	$	12,838	$	15,409	$	14,948

Deferred Financing Costs. As of December 31, 2009, net deferred financing costs related to the Convertible Debt Securities were $0.9 million, and are being amortized to interest expense through the first date the holders of the Convertible Debt Securities can be put back to us (June 15, 2011), or approximately seven years from the date of issuance. The net deferred financing costs are reflected in Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest expense for 2009, 2008, and 2007 includes amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.7 million, $0.9 million, and $0.9 million, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on our debt borrowings, including amortization of OID, amortization of deferred financing costs, and commitment fees on a revolving credit facility, for 2009, 2008, and 2007, was approximately 9%.

Deferred Income Taxes. The components of our net deferred income tax assets (liabilities) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

	2009			2008
Current deferred income tax assets:
Accrued expenses and reserves	$	12,525		$	9,050

Net deferred income tax assets (liabilities)	$	(25,372	)	$	(7,583	)

We regularly assess the likelihood of the future realization of our deferred income tax assets. To the extent we believe that it is more likely than not that a deferred income tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established. As of December 31, 2009, we believe that between: (i) carryback opportunities to past periods with taxable income; and (ii) sufficient taxable income to be generated in the future, we will realize the benefit of our deferred income tax assets.

As of December 31, 2009 we have: (i) an acquired Federal NOL carryforward of $5.4 million, which will begin to expire in 2020 and can be utilized through 2027; and (ii) state NOL carryforwards of $20.5 million, which will expire beginning in 2010 and ending in 2023. The acquired Federal NOL carryforward is attributable to the pre-acquisition periods of acquired subsidiaries. The annual utilization of this Federal NOL carryforward is limited pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Our Convertible Debt Securities are subject to special U.S. Treasury regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments. These regulations allow us to take a tax deduction for interest expense on our U.S. Federal income tax return at a constant rate of 9.09% (subject to certain adjustments), compounded semi-annually, which represents the estimated yield on comparable non-contingent, non-convertible, fixed-rate debt instruments with terms and conditions otherwise similar to the Convertible Debt Securities. This interest expense tax deduction is greater than the interest expense reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. This is considered a temporary difference, and thus does not impact our overall effective income tax rate. As a result, we will be building a deferred tax liability until the Convertible Debt Securities are settled. Upon settlement, if the holders are able to achieve or exceed the 9.09% target yield on the Convertible Debt Securities, the cumulative deferred tax liability will be reclassified to stockholders’ equity. If the holders are not able to achieve the 9.09% target yield, we will be required to pay the portion of the cumulative deferred tax liability to the U.S. tax authorities (without interest or penalties) determined by comparing the actual yield and the target yield, with the amount of the cumulative deferred tax liability not paid to the U.S. tax authorities reclassified to stockholders’ equity.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. We are required to estimate our income tax liability in each jurisdiction in which we operate, including both Federal and state income taxes. Various judgments and estimates are required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provisions for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate income tax determination may be uncertain. In addition, we may be subject to examination of our income tax returns by various tax authorities, which could result in adverse outcomes. For these reasons, we establish a liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits based on estimates of whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This liability is adjusted based upon changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, the expiration of a statute of limitations or the refinement of an estimate.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted a new accounting pronouncement related to how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured, and derecognized in the financial statements. This pronouncement also specifies how liabilities for uncertain tax position should be classified on the balance sheet. As the result of the adoption of this new guidance, we recognized reductions in our liability for unrecognized income tax benefits related to our continuing operations of $0.3 million and related to our discontinued operations of $1.2 million; with a corresponding increase of $1.5 million to our January 1, 2007 accumulated earnings balance.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

	2009			2008
Balance, beginning of year	$	4,672		$	4,534
Additions based on tax positions related to current year		1,289			1,019
Additions for tax positions of prior years		365			23
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		—			(22	)
Lapse of statute of limitations		(2,195	)		(882	)
Balance, end of year	$	4,131		$	4,672

We recognize interest and penalty expense associated with our liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition to the $4.1 million and $4.7 million of liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, we had $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively of income tax-related accrued interest. Included in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, are zero and $1.5 million, respectively, related to our discontinued operations. If recognized, the $4.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2009, would favorably impact our effective tax rate in future periods.

We file income tax returns primarily in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and in various state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2009, the U.S. Federal statute of limitations has expired for years prior to 2006, and the statute of limitations has expired in our major state jurisdictions of Nebraska, Colorado and Florida for years prior to 1999, 2005, and 2006, respectively.

8. Employee Retirement Benefit Plans

Defined Contribution-Type Plan. We sponsor a defined contribution plan covering substantially all of our employees. Participants may contribute up to 100% of their annual wages, subject to certain limitations, as pretax, salary deferral contributions. We make certain matching, and at our discretion, service-based contributions to the plan. The expense related to matching and service-related contributions for 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $6.4 million, $6.2 million, and $6.1 million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

9. Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies

Operating Leases. We lease certain office and production facilities under operating leases that run through 2020. The leases generally are renewable and provide for the payment of real estate taxes and certain other occupancy expenses. In addition, we lease certain operating equipment under operating leases that run through 2012. Future aggregate minimum lease payments under these facilities and operating equipment agreements are as follows: 2010—$9.6 million, 2011—$9.5 million, 2012—$7.4 million, 2013—$4.7 million, 2014—$3.5 million, and thereafter—$6.7 million. Total rent expense for 2009, 2008, and 2007, was $12.5 million, $11.3 million, and $9.2 million, respectively.

Service Agreements. We outsource to First Data Corporation (“FDC”) the data processing and related computer services required for the operation of our outsourced processing services. Our ACP proprietary software and other software applications are run in FDC’s facility to obtain the necessary enterprise server computer capacity and other computer and other computer support services without us having to make the substantial capital and infrastructure investments that would be necessary for us to provide these services internally. Our clients are connected to the FDC facility through a combination of private and commercially-provided networks. Our contract with FDC was scheduled to expire at the end of June 2010, but was recently amended to provide us options to continue the use of certain FDC data center services through December 31, 2010. Under our contract with FDC, we are charged a fixed fee plus a variable fee based on usage and/or actual costs. The total amount paid under the FDC service agreement for 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $53.1 million, $48.3 million, and $45.9 million, respectively.

In December 2008, we entered into an agreement with Infocrossing LLC, a Wipro Limited company (“Infocrossing”) to transition the data processing and related computer services from FDC to Infocrossing prior to the expiration of our FDC contract. The term of the Infocrossing service agreement is five years beginning on the date of full conversion.

Warranties. We generally warrant that our solutions and related offerings will conform to published specifications, or to specifications provided in an individual client arrangement, as applicable. The typical warranty period is 90 days from delivery of the solution or offering. For certain service offerings we provide a limited warranty for the duration of the services provided. We generally warrant that services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. The typical remedy for breach of warranty is to correct or replace any defective deliverable, and if not possible or practical, we will accept the return of the defective deliverable and refund the amount paid under the client arrangement that is allocable to the defective deliverable. Our contracts also generally contain limitation of damages provisions in an effort to reduce our exposure to monetary damages arising from breach of warranty claims. Historically, we have incurred minimal warranty costs, and as a result, do not maintain a warranty reserve.

Product and Services Indemnifications. Our arrangements with our clients generally include an indemnification provision that will indemnify and defend a client in actions brought against the client that claim our products and/or services infringe upon a copyright, trade secret, or valid patent. Historically, we have not incurred any significant costs related to such indemnification claims, and as a result, do not maintain a reserve for such exposure.

Claims for Company Non-performance. Our arrangements with our clients typically cap our liability for breach to a specified amount of the direct damages incurred by the client resulting from the breach. From time-to-time, these arrangements may also include provisions for possible liquidated damages or other financial remedies for our non-performance, or in the case of certain of our outsourced customer care and billing solutions, provisions for damages related to service level performance requirements. The service level performance requirements typically relate to system availability and timeliness of service delivery. As of December 31, 2009, we believe we

70

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

have adequate reserves, based on our historical experience, to cover any reasonably anticipated exposure as a result of our nonperformance for any past or current arrangements with our clients. The amount of the reserve maintained for this purpose is not material.

Indemnifications Related to Sold Businesses. In conjunction with the sale of the GSS business in December 2005, we provided certain indemnifications to the buyer of this business which are considered routine in nature (such as employee, tax, or litigation matters that occurred while these businesses were under our ownership). Under the provisions of this indemnification agreement, payment by us is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures in the indemnification agreement, and we are typically allowed to challenge the other party’s claims. In addition, certain of our obligations under this indemnification agreement are limited in terms of time and/or amounts, and in some cases, we may have recourse against a third party if we are required to make certain indemnification payments.

We estimated the fair value of these indemnifications at $2.8 million as of the closing date for the sale of the GSS business. Since the sale of the GSS business, we have made an indemnification payment of $0.1 million, and as of December 31, 2009, the indemnification liability was $2.3 million and related principally to indemnifications related to income tax matters. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments we may be required to make under this indemnification agreement due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances associated with each indemnification provision. We believe that if we were required to make payments in excess of the indemnification liability we have recorded, the resulting loss would not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. If any amounts required to be paid by us would differ from the amounts initially recorded as indemnification liabilities as of the closing dates for the sale of the GSS business, the difference would be reflected in the discontinued operations section of our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Indemnifications Related to Officers and the Board of Directors. We have agreed to indemnify certain of our officers and members of our Board of Directors if they are named or threatened to be named as a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that they acted in such capacity. We maintain directors’ and officers’ (D&O) insurance coverage to protect against such losses. We have not historically incurred any losses related to these types of indemnifications, and are not aware of any pending or threatened actions or claims against any officer or member of our Board of Directors. As a result, we have not recorded any liabilities related to such indemnifications as of December 31, 2009. In addition, as a result of the insurance policy coverage, we believe these indemnification agreements are not significant to our results of operations.

Legal Proceedings. From time-to-time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are not presently a party to any material pending or threatened legal proceedings.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

We currently have a stock repurchase program, approved by our Board of Directors, authorizing us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time-to-time as market and business conditions warrant (the “Stock Repurchase Program”).

As of December 31, 2009, a summary of the shares repurchased under the Stock Repurchase Program is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	2009		2008		2007		2006		1999-2005		Total
Shares repurchased		250		250		13,181		2,485		13,130		29,296
Total amount paid	$	3,782	$	3,983	$	307,599	$	63,283	$	325,575	$	704,222
Weighted-average price per share	$	15.13	$	15.93	$	23.34	$	25.46	$	24.80	$	24.04

71

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

As of December 31, 2009, the total remaining number of shares available for repurchase under the Stock Repurchase Program totaled approximately 5.7 million shares.

In addition to the above mentioned stock repurchases, during 2009, 2008, and 2007, we repurchased and then cancelled approximately 195,000 shares, 136,000 shares, and 176,000 shares for $2.8 million, $1.8 million, and $4.0 million, respectively, of common stock from our employees in connection with minimum tax withholding requirements resulting from the vesting of restricted stock under our stock incentive plans.

11. Equity Compensation Plans

Stock Incentive Plans

Summary of Stock Incentive Plans. As of December 31, 2009, we have four stock incentive plans, as summarized below:

Plan	Shares Reserved For Issuance	Shares Available For Issuance
1996 Plan(1)	—	—
1997 Director Plan(2)	—	—
2005 Plan(1)	12,400,000	7,138,778
Total stockholder approved	12,400,000	7,138,778
2001 Plan(3)	3,000,000	1,252
Total	15,400,000	7,140,030

(1) The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) was adopted upon stockholder approval. The 2005 Plan replaced the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”). No further grants may be made under the 1996 Plan, but any stock awards outstanding under the 1996 Plan remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms. The shares available under the 2005 Plan have been reserved for issuance to officers and other key employees of our company and its subsidiaries and to non-employee directors of our company in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance unit awards, restricted stock awards, or stock bonus awards. Shares granted under the 2005 Plan in the form of a performance unit award, restricted stock award or stock bonus award are counted toward the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2005 Plan as two shares for every one share granted or issued in payment of such award.

(2) The Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “1997 Director Plan”) was adopted upon stockholder approval. During 2006, the 1997 Director Plan terminated with respect to future grants, but any stock awards outstanding under the 1997 Director Plan remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms.

(3) The 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”) was adopted without stockholder approval. The shares available under the 2001 Plan have been reserved for issuance to eligible employees of our company in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance unit awards, restricted stock awards, or stock bonus awards. Shares available under the 2001 Plan may be granted to key employees of our company or its subsidiaries who are not: (i) officers or directors; (ii) “covered employees” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code; or (iii) persons subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Restricted Stock. We generally issue new shares (versus treasury shares) to fulfill restricted stock award grants. Restricted stock awards are generally granted at no cost to the recipient. Historically, our restricted stock awards have vested annually over four years with no restrictions other than the passage of time (i.e., the shares are released upon calendar vesting with no further restrictions) (“Time-Based Awards”). Unvested Time-Based Awards are typically forfeited and cancelled upon termination of employment with our company. Certain Time-

72

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Based Awards become fully vested upon a change in control, as defined, and the subsequent involuntary termination of employment. The fair value of the Time-Based Awards (determined by using the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date) is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Beginning in 2007, we began issuing restricted stock shares to key members of management that vest in equal installments over three years upon meeting either pre-established financial performance objectives or pre-established stock price objectives (“Performance-Based Awards”). The structure of the performance goals for the Performance-Based Awards has been approved by our stockholders. The Performance-Based Awards become fully vested upon a change in control, as defined, and the subsequent involuntary termination of employment. The fair value of the Performance-Based Awards (determined by using the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date) is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award is, in-substance, multiple awards.

A summary of our unvested restricted stock activity during 2009 is as follows:

	2009
	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested awards, January 1, 2009	1,614,569		$	18.17
Awards granted	846,661			14.48
Awards forfeited/cancelled	(116,996	)		16.56
Awards vested	(592,517	)		19.29
Unvested awards, December 31, 2009	1,751,717		$	16.12

The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock shares granted during 2009, 2008, and 2007, was $14.48 per share, $12.22 per share, and $25.08 per share, respectively. The total market value of restricted stock shares vesting during 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $8.5 million, $5.7 million, and $11.7 million, respectively.

Stock Options. In 2003, we began primarily granting restricted stock awards instead of stock options to employees and non-employee directors under our equity compensation plans. Historically, stock option awards were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of our common stock as of the date of grant and typically vested over four years, with a maximum term of ten years. No stock options were awarded during 2009, 2008, or 2007.

A summary of our stock option activity during 2009 is as follows:

	2009				Weighted -Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value(1)
	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at January 1, 2009	347,891		$	31.15
Granted	—			—
Exercised	(47,067	)	$	11.41
Expired	(20,550	)	$	37.99
Outstanding at December 31, 2009	280,274		$	33.96
Options exercisable at December 31, 2009	280,274		$	33.96	1.47 Years	$	568,015

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value represents stock options that were in-the-money as of December 31, 2009, and is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the closing market price of our common stock as of December 31, 2009.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised, determined as of the date of option exercise, during 2009, 2008, and 2007 was approximately $0.2 million, $0.02 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises during 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $0.5 million, $0.1 million, and $1.1 million, respectively.

1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

As of December 31, 2009, we had an employee stock purchase plan whereby 958,043 shares of our common stock have been reserved for sale to our employees through payroll deductions. The price for shares purchased under the plan is 85% of market value on the last day of the purchase period. Purchases are made at the end of each month. During 2009, 2008, and 2007, 88,368, 90,728, and 57,339 shares, respectively, were purchased under the plan for $1.1 million ($11.25 to $16.46 per share), $1.1 million, ($9.37 to $16.07 per share), and $1.1 million, ($12.51 to $23.63 per share), respectively. As of December 31, 2009, 146,080 shares remain eligible for purchase under the plan.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $12.6 million, $11.6 million, and $11.1 million, respectively, for 2009, 2008, and 2007. As of December 31, 2009, there was $17.6 million of total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized. That cost, excluding the impact of forfeitures, is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

We recorded a deferred income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense during 2009, 2008, and 2007, of $4.9 million, $4.4 million, and $4.1 million, respectively. The actual income tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock for 2009, 2008, and 2007, totaled $3.4 million, $2.2 million, and $4.8 million, respectively.

AMENDED AND RESTATED 1996 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

ARTICLE I

GENERAL

1.1 Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of the CSG Systems International, Inc. 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide Eligible Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries with a program for the regular purchase of Shares from the Company through periodic payroll deductions and dividend reinvestments, thereby giving Participants the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company. The Plan authorizes the sale and issuance of Shares pursuant to sub-plans adopted by the Company and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or his or her delegate which are designed to achieve desired tax or other objectives in particular locations outside of the United States.

1.2 Definitions. For purposes of the Plan, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings indicated, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

(a) “Adjusted Price” means an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value on the last trading day of the Plan Month for which an Adjusted Price is being determined.

(b) “Agent” means the independent agent appointed pursuant to Section 1.4.

(c) “Company” means CSG Systems International, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

(d) “Eligible Employee” means a person who is of majority age in his or her domicile state or other applicable jurisdiction and is a full-time or part-time employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, except that a temporary employee and an employee who has been designated by the Board of Directors of the Company as an executive officer of the Company or is otherwise subject to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan.

(e) “Fair Market Value” means the last sale price of the Shares as quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market on the trading day for which the determination is being made, or, in the event that no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices on such day, or, if the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the last reported sale price on the principal national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or admitted to trading on the trading day for which the determination is being made, or, if no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day on the principal national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or admitted to trading, or, if the Shares are neither quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market nor listed or admitted to trading on another national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market on the day for which the determination is being made as reported through The NASDAQ Stock Market, or, if bid and asked prices for the Shares on such day are not reported through The NASDAQ Stock Market, the average of the bid and asked prices for such day as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Shares selected for such purpose by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or, if none of the foregoing is applicable, the fair market value of the Shares as determined in good faith by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company in his sole discretion.

(f) “Participant” means an Eligible Employee who has elected to participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 2.1.

(g) “Plan Month” means each calendar month during the term of the Plan.

(h) “Shares” means shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company.

(i) “Subsidiary” means a corporation or other entity of which not less than 50% of the voting shares or other voting interests are held by the Company or a Subsidiary, whether or not such corporation or other entity now exists or hereafter is organized or acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary. The plural form of such word is “Subsidiaries”.

1.3 Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan became effective on September 1, 1996. The Plan shall remain in effect indefinitely, subject to termination by the Board of Directors of the Company as of the end of any Plan Month and subject to the provisions of Section 1.5.

1.4 Appointment and Removal of the Agent. The Company shall appoint an independent bank, trust company, brokerage firm, or other financial institution or an affiliate thereof to administer the Plan (including but not limited to the establishment of such procedures as reasonably may be necessary to accomplish such administration in a manner consistent with the purposes of the Plan), keep the records of the Plan reflecting the interests of Participants, hold

2

Shares acquired under the Plan on behalf of Participants, and generally act as the agent of Participants in the manner and to the extent provided in the Plan. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such resignation. The Company may remove the Agent at any time by giving written notice of such removal to the Agent at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such removal. In the event of the resignation or removal of the Agent, the Company promptly shall appoint a new Agent. The Company shall provide the names and addresses of all Participants to the Agent to facilitate direct communications by the Agent to the Participants.

1.5 Shares Available Under the Plan. The maximum number of shares which the Company may issue under the Plan on and after May 28, 2004, is the sum of (a) the number of Shares which were available for issuance under the Plan as of May 27, 2004, plus (b) 500,000 Shares; and the Company shall reserve and keep available for issuance under the Plan such maximum number of shares. In the event of an increase in the number of outstanding Shares by reason of a stock dividend or stock split, the number of Shares then remaining available for issuance under the Plan shall be increased proportionately.

1.6 Action by the Company. Whenever an action is required by or permitted to the Company under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Plan or the Board of Directors of the Company, such action shall be taken by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or his or her delegate.

ARTICLE II

PLAN PARTICIPATION

2.1 Enrollment and Payroll Deductions. Participation in the Plan is voluntary. An Eligible Employee may elect to participate in the Plan by completing and delivering to the Company enrollment and payroll deduction authorization forms prescribed by the Company authorizing periodic payroll deductions by the Company from such Eligible Employee’s wages of the periodic amount specified by such Eligible Employee. Payroll deductions with respect to an Eligible Employee shall commence as soon as administratively practicable after the enrollment and payroll deduction authorization forms of such Eligible Employee are received and accepted by the Company. If a Participant’s wages are paid on a biweekly schedule, then the biweekly payroll deduction amount specified by such Participant in his or her payroll deduction authorization form must be a minimum of $10.00 and may not exceed $500.00; in the case of Participants whose compensation is paid in a currency other than United States dollars, the applicable limits shall be the approximate equivalents of such minimum and maximum amounts fixed from time to time by the Company in administratively convenient units of such other currency. If a Participant’s wages are paid on a schedule other than biweekly, then the periodic payroll deductions referred to in this Section 2.1 shall be made with respect to such Participant in accordance with such schedule as reflected on such Participant’s payroll deduction authorization form; and the Company shall proportionately adjust the minimum and maximum permitted payroll deductions applicable to such Participant. A Participant may change his or her periodic payroll deduction amount by written notice to the Company in such form as the Company may specify; such change shall be effective as

3

soon as administratively practicable after the change form is received and accepted by the Company. A Participant may cease participation in the Plan as of any payroll date by giving written notice of such cessation to the Company in such form as the Company may specify at least fifteen (15) days prior to such payroll date. The Agent shall continue to maintain the Plan account of a Participant who ceases participation in the Plan until such Participant instructs the Agent either to issue the Shares held in such Plan account to such Participant or to sell such Shares and remit the net proceeds of such sale to such Participant as provided in Section 2.5.

2.2 Issuance of Shares to Agent. On the last business day of each Plan Month, the Company shall notify the Agent in written or electronic form of the aggregate United States dollar amount withheld for each Participant during such Plan Month and shall instruct the transfer agent for the Shares to issue to the Agent (in such form or nominee name as the Agent may direct) as an original issuance of authorized but unissued Shares or as the reissuance of Shares held by the Company as treasury shares (and shall provide such transfer agent with such additional documentation as may be required for such purpose) that number of full Shares which is equal to (a) the aggregate United States dollar amount withheld pursuant to the Plan for all Participants during such Plan Month divided by (b) the Adjusted Price; any portion of such aggregate dollar amount that is insufficient to purchase a full Share shall be carried over to the next Plan Month. Upon the issuance or reissuance of such number of full Shares, the amount referred to in clause (a) of the preceding sentence (less any amount carried over to the following Plan Month) shall be deemed to have been paid to and received by the Company, and shall be appropriately reflected on the books of the Company, as the consideration for such number of newly issued or reissued full Shares. For purposes of determining the United States dollar amount withheld from the wages of Participants whose compensation is paid in a currency other than United States dollars, the amount withheld in such other currency shall be converted to United States dollars on the basis of the applicable exchange rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal or another reliable source for the next-to-the-last business day of the Plan Month involved.

2.3 Allocation of Shares Among Participants. The Agent shall establish and maintain a separate Plan account for each Participant and shall allocate the Shares acquired by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.2 for a particular Plan Month among the Plan accounts of those Participants whose payroll deductions provided the funds used to acquire such Shares. Such allocation shall be made in the Plan records maintained by the Agent in proportion to the United States dollar amount of funds so provided by each Participant and, if fractional shares are involved, shall be made to three decimal places. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5, the Agent shall hold in its name or the name of its nominee, for the benefit of all Participants, all shares acquired under the Plan. The Agent shall regularly make available to each Participant, either in written or electronic form, current information with respect to the Participant’s Plan account showing acquisitions of Shares, dividends credited, sales or issuances of Shares, any applicable commissions or fees charged to such Participant, and the number of Shares then held.

2.4 Dividends and Distributions. Dividends and other distributions by the Company with respect to Shares held by the Agent under the Plan shall be allocated or otherwise dealt with by the Agent as follows:

(a) Cash Dividends. Cash dividends received by the Agent on Shares allocated to Participants’ Plan accounts shall be used by the Agent to acquire additional Shares for such Participants by remitting the aggregate amount of such cash dividends to the Company to be added to the amount applied to the next acquisition of Shares from the Company pursuant to Section 2.2.

4

(b) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. Stock dividends and stock splits shall be credited to Participants having Shares allocated to their Plan accounts to the extent that such stock dividends and stock splits are attributable to such Shares.

(c) Stock Rights. If the Company makes available to its stockholders generally rights to subscribe to additional Shares or other securities, then such rights accruing on Shares held by the Agent under the Plan shall be sold by the Agent and the net proceeds of such sale shall be applied to the acquisition from the Company of additional Shares for Participants in the same manner as cash dividends are applied.

2.5 Issuance of Shares to Participant; Sale of Shares for Participant. Upon the request of a Participant, the Agent will arrange for some or all of the Shares in such Participant’s Plan account to be issued to such Participant as promptly as practicable. Upon the issuance of such Shares, such Participant’s Plan account will be appropriately debited. Upon the request of a Participant, the Agent will sell for the account of such Participant any or all of the Shares in such Participant’s Plan account and shall remit the proceeds of such sale, net of applicable brokerage commissions (if any), to such Participant as promptly as practicable. If a Participant requests that sale proceeds be remitted to such Participant in a currency other than United States dollars, then the requested currency exchange will be made at the prevailing rate for transactions of the size involved as determined in the sole discretion of the Agent or its designee for such purpose, and such Participant will bear all expenses incurred by the Agent in effecting such currency exchange. The Agent shall process transactions involving fractional Shares in such manner as the Agent deems appropriate for the particular transaction. Requests by Participants pursuant to this Section 2.5 may be made in writing or by such electronic or other means as the Agent may provide.

2.6 Voting Rights. A Participant will have the right to vote the Shares in his or her Plan account in accordance with the Agent’s customary procedures for the voting of shares held in “street name” or other similar types of accounts; however, a Participant is not a stockholder of record of the Company with respect to any Shares held in such Participant’s Plan account.

2.7 Expenses. The Company will bear all of the expenses of administering the Plan, including but not limited to the Agent’s fees and any transfer taxes and expenses of issuing Shares to Participants. However, a Participant will bear any expenses incurred by the Agent in selling Shares held for such Participant under the Plan, including but not limited to applicable brokerage commissions and currency exchange expenses.

2.8 Termination of Eligibility. If a Participant ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan for any reason, including but not limited to the termination of such Participant’s employment

5

by the Company or a Subsidiary, then such Participant may no longer participate in the Plan through payroll deductions. If a Participant ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan for a reason other than such Participant’s death, then the Agent shall maintain such Participant’s Plan account pending the Agent’s receipt of instructions either from the Participant or from the Company as to the issuance or sale of the Shares in such Plan account in accordance with Section 2.5 If a Participant dies, then the Agent shall maintain the deceased Participant’s Plan account pending the Agent’s receipt of instructions as to the disposition of such Plan account from the duly authorized representative of the deceased Participant’s estate.

2.9 Termination of Plan. If the Company terminates the Plan, then the Agent shall arrange for the full Shares in a Participant’s Plan account to be issued to such Participant as promptly as practicable and shall sell for the account of such Participant any fractional Shares in such Participant’s Plan account and remit the proceeds of such sale, net of applicable brokerage commissions (if any), to such Participant as promptly as practicable. However, in its discretion, the Company may provide additional alternatives for the disposition of the Shares in a Participant’s Plan account upon the termination of the Plan.

2.10 Rules for Foreign Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the Company and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or his or her delegate may, in its or his or her sole discretion, amend or vary the terms of the Plan in order to conform such terms to the requirements of each non-U.S. jurisdiction where a Subsidiary is located or to meet the goals and objectives of the Plan with respect to the Eligible Employees employed in such non-U.S. jurisdiction. Each of the Company, and to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or his or her delegate may, where it or he or she deems appropriate in its or his or her sole discretion, establish one or more sub-plans for such purposes. The Company and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or his or her delegate may, in its or his or her sole discretion, establish administrative rules and procedures to facilitate the operation of the Plan in such non-U.S. jurisdictions. For purposes of clarity, the terms of the Plan which vary for a particular non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be reflected in a written addendum to the Plan for such non-U.S. jurisdiction.

3.3 Employment Rights. An Eligible Employee’s election to participate in the Plan and the Company’s acceptance of such Eligible Employee’s enrollment in the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between such Eligible Employee and the Company or any Subsidiary.

3.4 Withholding; Payroll Taxes. To the extent required by applicable laws and regulations in effect at the time payroll deductions pursuant to the Plan are made from a Participant’s wages, the Company or the Subsidiary by whom such Participant’s wages are paid shall withhold from the remaining portion of such wages any taxes or other obligations required to be withheld from such wages by federal, state, local, or other laws by reason of such payroll deductions and the purchase of Shares under the Plan for the benefit of such Participant at a price less than Fair Market Value.

Neither Customer and its Affiliates nor any third party will have any express or implied rights under the Third-Party Licenses with respect to any product or service provided by Customer and its Affiliates other than through the authorized use of the Products, third-party software or Services as provided by CSG.

10. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT.

(a) Standard Support Services. Following expiration of the Warranty Period throughout the applicable term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 18, CSG will provide Customer support and maintenance of the then-current version of each licensed Product which shall include any and all Updates (defined below), excluding any customization (“Support Services”) in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule I. Included in the Support Services is support of the then-current version of the licensed Products via CSG’s Solution Support Center, account management, publication updates, and the fixes and updates that CSG makes generally available as part of its maintenance and support packages (the “Updates”) including, but not limited to, such support as may be necessary to maintain interoperability between the Products and Third-Party Software. For purposes of this Agreement, the “then-current version” includes all dot releases of the licensed Products that CSG has provided to Customer free of charge. If Customer is not utilizing the Products in a Designated Environment, Customer has added third-party applications, Customer has had custom modifications made to the Products or Services, then, unless such environment, applications or modifications have been approved by CSG or were created, added or made by or under instructions from CSG, Customer will be responsible for making all necessary modifications to such third-party applications to ensure they function properly with the Updates. Custom software modifications are not included in Support Services as Updates, but are covered as Technical Services under Exhibit A-2. The Support Services do not include maintenance and support of any customization or any other third-party software; however, CSG shall provide maintenance and support as part of the Support Services with respect to any modifications of Products made by CSG and with respect to the continued interoperability of the Products with the Third-Party Software. The maintenance and support for any customization will be provided pursuant to the terms, conditions and fees set forth in a separately executed statement of work. Other maintenance and support for Non-Embedded Third-Party Products is provided by the licensor of those products, and although CSG may assist in this maintenance and support with front-line support, CSG will have no liability with respect thereto and Customer must look solely to the licensor. To the extent that CSG makes available for general release products providing functionality previously existing in a Product, CSG will make such functionality available to Customer at no additional charge or expense.

(b) Limitation. Updates or Enhancements (as defined in Section 12(b)) to any Product will not include any upgrade or new version of the CSG Products that CSG decides, in its sole discretion, to make generally available as a separately priced item. CSG will not be required to (i) develop and release Updates or Enhancements (ii) customize the Updates or Enhancements to satisfy Customer’s particular requests or (iii) obtain Updates or Enhancements to any third-party product. If an Update or Enhancement replaces a prior version of a Product, Customer shall, at its option, destroy or promptly return to CSG such prior version and all archival copies upon installing the Update or Enhancement.

11. DESIGNATED ENVIRONMENT. “Designated Environment” means the combination of the other computer programs and hardware equipment that CSG specifies for use with the Products as set forth on CSG’s customer extranet website, which can be accessed by Customer, and which, as of the Effective Date, is as set forth in Schedule N, or approved by CSG in writing or otherwise for Customer’s use with the Products at the System Sites. Customer (or any third parties permitted access in accordance with Section 12 (d)(ii) below) may use the Products only in the Designated Environment and will be solely responsible for upgrading the Designated Environment in the event of a Permitted Change. CSG covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer at least ****** (**) ****** prior notice to any Permitted Change. A “Permitted Change” shall mean any changes to the Designated Environment or any hardware and software that Customer may be required to maintain in order to use or access the Products, Services or Deliverables that are (a) in accordance with such plans as the parties may agree upon from time to time with respect to the Products, Services and Deliverables or customers use thereof, or (b) become necessary as a result of (i) a change or modification to Products, Services or the Designated Environment that is requested or initiated by Customer or with Customer’s consent; (ii) a change necessary to maintain compliance with third-party software required in the Designated Environment, (iii) Customer’s use of a new Product or Service which requires a new Designated Environment for such Product or Service, or (iv) a change necessary to permit CSG to remain in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. To the extent that Customer uses the Products outside the Designated Environment, CSG will have no obligation to continue maintaining and supporting the Products. Notwithstanding the previous sentence even if Customer operates CSG Products in a nonconforming environment, CSG covenants and agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to support such hardware and software so long as the manufacturer/supplier thereof continues to provide general support thereof and Customer acknowledges that CSG shall have no liability under this Agreement for any Support Services provided in connection with such Products. As of the Effective Date, except as set forth on Schedule M, CSG is not aware of any condition or configuration that exists within the environment at Customer’s System Site that would cause such environment to be in violation of the definition of a Designated Environment as set forth above, and within ****** (**) ******** **** of the Effective Date, at Customer’s request, CSG shall provide Customer with *** (**) ***** ** ********* ******** ** ** ********** ****** to Customer to assist Customer in conducting an assessment of Customer’s environment. Any other use or transfer of the Products will require CSG’s prior approval, which may be subject to additional charges. CSG will not have any responsibility or liability for malfunctions or any damage from modification to the Products not authorized by CSG or from use of the Products in connection with software or hardware not included in a the Designated Environment or provided by CSG. It is understood and agreed that Customer’s failure to keep its environment in compliance with the Designated Environment (a “DEG Failure”) shall not be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement or the license granted hereunder; provided, however, that to the extent that CSG’s performance under this Agreement is hindered due to such DEG Failure, such reduced level of performance shall not be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

12. LICENSE GRANT.

(a) License. CSG hereby grants Customer and its Affiliates a non-exclusive and non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 29) perpetual right (except as limited by Section 18), to use the Products at the System Sites and number of workstations set forth in Exhibit B-1 (except with respect to the Expanded License Software defined in subsection (b) below), in the Designated Environment, for the fees set forth in Schedule F, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall mean any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with a party; and an entity shall be deemed to be controlled by another if the controlling entity has greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests in the other entity or is legally able, by contract or otherwise, to direct the affairs and/or to control the composition of the other entity’s board of directors or equivalent body.

(b) CSG Products. The term “Products” includes (i) the machine-readable object code version of the software products listed in Exhibit B-1 to Schedule B hereof (collectively, the “Software”), whether embedded on disc, tape or other media; (ii) the published user manuals and documentation that CSG may make generally available for the Software (the “Documentation”), (iii) the fixes, updates, upgrades or new versions of the Software or Documentation that CSG may provide to Customer under this Agreement (the “Enhancements”), and (iv) any copy of the Software, Documentation or Enhancements. “Expanded License Software” shall include Advanced Customer Service Representative® (ACSR®), ACSR® AOI, ACSR® module for High Speed Data, CSG Statement Express™, and CSG Screen Express®.

(c) Use. Unless explicitly stated to the contrary herein, and in addition to the restrictions on use and/or terms and conditions set forth in Section (d) below, Customer and its Affiliates may use the Products only in object code form, and only for Customer’s and its Affiliates’ own internal purposes and business operations with the Services for providing accounting and billing services to its subscribers or services related thereto. Neither Customer nor its Affiliates will use the Products to provide any such service to or on behalf of any third parties in a service bureau capacity and will not permit any other person to use the Products, whether on a time-sharing, remote job entry or other multiple user arrangement. Customer and its Affiliates will not install the Software, Enhancements or Customization (as defined in Section (d) below) on a network or other multi-user computer system unless otherwise specified in the Exhibits to Schedule B, in which case the Designated Environment may be used to provide database or file services to other of Customer’s computers across the network, up to the number of user I.D.’s specified in Exhibit B-1. Backup and recovery plans or backup and recovery software is not included with the Products. Any of Customer’s or its Affiliates’ documents, data and files are and shall remain Customer’s or its Affiliates’ property; and therefore, Customer and its Affiliates are solely responsible for their own backup and recovery plan(s) for their data stored within the Designated Environment or utilized within the Products. Customer and its Affiliates may make only one back-up archival copy of the Software, Enhancements or Customization for each System Site. Customer and such Affiliates will reproduce all confidentiality and proprietary notices on each of these copies and maintain an accurate record of the location of each of these copies. Neither Customer nor its Affiliates shall otherwise copy, translate, modify, adapt, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Products, except as and to the extent expressly authorized by applicable law. Neither Customer nor its Affiliates shall publish any results of benchmark tests run on the Products.

(ii) Third-Party Access. CSG acknowledges and agrees that Customer and its Affiliates may desire to have third parties access and use copies of the Expanded License Software for the exclusive benefit of Customer and its Affiliates, and CSG hereby consents to such third-party access, provided that:

13. INDEMNITY.

(a) CSG Rights. CSG represents, warrants and covenants that as of the Effective Date and continuously during the term of this Agreement: (i) CSG owns or otherwise has the right to license to Customer, and shall own or otherwise have the right to license to Customer, all U.S. patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights in or to the Products, Services, Deliverables, including, but not limited to, the Embedded Third-Party Software; (ii) the Products, Services and Deliverables do not and will not infringe a U.S. patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or any other proprietary right owned by a third party; and (iii) CSG possess the legal right and authority to execute and fully perform this Agreement and (iv) the execution of this Agreement will not violate any other material agreement or obligation by which CSG may be bound.

(i) CSG’s Obligation to Defend. Except as set forth in Section 8, if an action is brought against Customer or its Affiliate(s) claiming that the Products, Services or Deliverables, in whole or in part, infringe a United States patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right owned by a third person, CSG will defend Customer and its Affiliate(s) at CSG’s expense and pay any losses, claims, liabilities, damages and costs (including attorney’s fees) finally awarded to a third party and against Customer or its Affiliate(s) in the infringement action.

Execution Version

(ii) Additional Remedy. If a claim described in this Section 13(b) may be or has been asserted, CSG shall, and Customer will permit CSG, at CSG’s option and expense, to either (A) procure for Customer and its Affiliates the right to continue using the Products, Services or Deliverables, (B) replace or modify the Products, Services or Deliverables to eliminate the infringement while providing functionally equivalent performance or, if CSG cannot accomplish any of the foregoing remedies using commercially reasonable efforts, (C) accept the return of the Products, Services or Deliverables and refund to Customer the amount of the fees actually paid to CSG and allocable for such Product, Service or Deliverable, less amortization based on a 5-year straight-line amortization schedule and a pro rata share of any maintenance fees that Customer actually paid to CSG for the period that such Product, Service or Deliverable was not usable. In the event that CSG elects to provide the remedy described in clause 13(b)(ii)(C), Customer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement only as it applies to the returned Product, Service or Deliverable, immediately upon delivery of written notice to CSG and, except with respect to any portion of this Agreement that was not terminated, Customer shall have no further obligation to make any further payments to CSG under this Agreement for the returned Product, Service or Deliverable. CSG agrees that in the event CSG elects to provide the remedy described in clause 13(b)(ii)(C) with respect to an infringing Product, Service or Deliverable, CSG shall replace such Product, Service or Deliverable with a Product, Service or Deliverable that will provide functionality substantially similar to the returned Product, Service or Deliverable and, if CSG provides such a replacement, Customer shall continue to pay the fees provided in Schedule F, which include, but are not limited to, Guaranteed Fees and Print and Mail Minimums; provided, however, that if CSG elects to provide the remedy described in clause 13(b)(ii)(C) and pursuant thereto provides a replacement that does not provide substantially similar functionality as the replaced Product, Service or Deliverable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to provide an equitable adjustment to such fees with respect to any documented loss of functionality which Customer used or had the right to use without paying an additional fee. Moreover, notwithstanding the limitation set forth in Section 13(c) below, Customer would have been unwilling to enter into this Agreement or to provide the consideration set forth herein, including, but not limited to, the Guaranteed Fees and Print and Mail Minimums, without the certainty of performance by CSG that is promised in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, CSG’s agreement to provide Products, Services and Deliverables that provide the functionality described in this Agreement and therefore Customer’s right to terminate the Agreement in accordance with its terms, including, but not limited to, Section 19 thereof, shall not be limited or abrogated by this Section 13(b)(ii) or any agreement with respect to an equitable adjustment with respect to, or the application of the limitations of Section 13(c) to a remedy provided pursuant to, Section 13(b)(ii)(C). Nothing in this Section 13(b)(ii) is intended to define what level of functionality provided by CSG or its Products, Services or Deliverables constitutes a material breach or to provide examples thereof.

(c) Limitation on CSG’s Indemnity Obligation. CSG shall have no indemnity obligation to Customer under this Section to the extent, but only to the extent, that the infringement claim results from (i) a correction or modification of the Product: (A) not provided or recommended by CSG, (B) not made under CSG’s instructions, (C) that is not specifically provided for in the Documentation, and (D) made without CSG’s knowledge and consent, if such claim could not have been maintained absent such correction or modification, (ii) the failure by Customer to promptly install an Update or Enhancement that (A) was provided by CSG other than pursuant to a statement of work or in connection with the use of ASH, and (B) would have provided performance functionally equivalent to the performance of the Product immediately prior to the installation of any such Update or Enhancement, but only if, and only for the time after, CSG shall have notified Customer in writing of the need to install such Update or Enhancement to avoid such infringement, or (iii) the combination of the Product with other items (A) not provided by CSG, (B) not combined under instructions from CSG, and (C) which could not have been reasonably anticipated by CSG to be used by Customer, or to be purchased by Customer pursuant to Section 6 herein, but only if such claim could not be maintained absent such combination. *** ******** *** ***** ** **** ********** *** ********’* **** *** ********* ******, *** ***’* ********* *********, *** ** ************ *****. *** ******** *** ***** ** **** ******* *** *** ******* ** *** *********** ** ********* *** ***** ***** ** ******* **.

(d) Customer Indemnity; Customer’s Obligation to Defend. If (A) an action is brought against CSG claiming that an item of Customer’s and its Affiliates’ Intellectual Property (as defined in Exhibit A-3) that CSG has used at, and in a manner consistent with, Customer’s or its Affiliates’ request infringes a United States patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right owned by a third person, or, (B) Customer or its Affiliate uses the Products or Services in a manner that is inconsistent with the Documentation or other Written Instructions (as defined below) provided to Customer by CSG and such improper use subjects CSG to a claim that CSG’s Products or Services infringes a United States patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right owned by a third person, then Customer will defend CSG at Customer’s expense and pay any losses, claims, liabilities, damages and costs (including attorney’s fees) finally awarded to a third party and against CSG in the infringement action.

(e) Limitation on Customer’s Obligation to Indemnify. Customer shall have no indemnity obligation to CSG under this Section to the extent, but only to the extent, that the infringement claim results from (i) a use, correction or modification of a Product or Service: (A) provided by CSG, (B) that is in accordance with the Written Instructions, or (C) that is specifically provided for or commercially reasonably foreseeable based on the Documentation, (ii) CSG’s use of Customer’s Intellectual Property in a manner that was not in compliance with Customer’s issued guidelines, including any changes thereto of which CSG had been given reasonable notice, (iii) the failure by CSG to discontinue using Customer’s Intellectual Property after Customer had notified CSG in writing of the need to discontinue such use to avoid such infringement, or (iv) the use of a Product or Service in combination with other items (A) provided by CSG, (B) combined in accordance with the Written Instructions or Documentation, or (C) which could have been reasonably anticipated by CSG to be used by Customer, or to be purchased by Customer pursuant to Section 6 herein, but only if such claim could not be maintained absent such combination. *** ******** *** ***** ** **** ********* *** ***’* **** *** ********* ******, *** ********’* ********* *********, *** ** ************ *****. *** ******** *** ***** ** **** ******* *** *** ******* ** *** *********** ** ********* *** ***** ***** ** ******* **.

(f) If either party is required to indemnify the other party, Affiliate or Related Parties (as defined in Schedule F Note 12 to Section III.A. under CSG SERVICES) under any section of this Agreement, then the following terms shall apply: (A) the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party promptly upon learning of the claim for which indemnity obligations will be due, provided that the indemnifying party’s obligation to defend shall only be reduced to the extent that its ability to provide a defense has been materially and adversely affected by any failure to so notify; (B) the indemnifying party shall have sole control over the defense of the claim and any negotiation for its settlement or compromise, provided, however, that any such settlement or compromise will impose no obligation whatsoever on the indemnified party that is not wholly discharged or dischargeable by the indemnifying party, and imposes no conditions or obligations other than the payment of monies that are readily measureable for purposes of determining the monetary indemnification or reimbursement obligations of indemnifying party; and (C) the indemnified party reasonably cooperates with the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party’s expense in defending such claim. Additionally, the indemnified party may, at its own option and expense, appoint counsel to monitor the action, and indemnifying party shall, in any such event, cooperate reasonably to facilitate such monitoring, which shall include, but shall not be limited to, providing pleadings related to any such action for the indemnified party’s review.

14. DISCOVERY SUPPORT. CSG acknowledges and agrees that from time to time in the course of its business, Customer or its Affiliate may have a legal obligation to preserve, collect and produce certain data that CSG maintains pursuant to this Agreement and/or produce such data in response to requests, inquiries or demands that may be made to Customer or its Affiliates from time to time by government agencies, courts or parties with which Customer or its Affiliate is engaged in litigation. CSG agrees to reasonably cooperate with Customer, to the fullest extent required by law, and with respect to any further or other request made by Customer, in complying with and responding to such inquires or demands as are made to Customer or its Affiliates with respect to data or other information relating to the business of Customer or its Affiliates that is or comes into the possession and/or custody of CSG (“Discovery Support”). During the term of this Agreement, CSG shall provide to Customer up to **** (*) ***** of Discovery Support per litigation to be used for the specific litigation. In the event additional Discovery Support is required in connection with a litigation, the fees for such Discovery Support shall be ****.** *** ******, *** **** (excluding development hours, which may be charged at a different rate in accordance with Schedule F) for the time expended by CSG personnel in complying with any request of Customer under this section, but no other fees or other compensation shall apply for such personnel time. Customer agrees that should its request require investment in hardware or software by CSG or third-party vendor resources, CSG shall provide estimates and costs of providing same and Customer agrees to pay for such costs in the event it requests CSG to proceed. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in a subsequent statement of work Annual Support Hours shall not be used for Discovery Support. CSG further acknowledges that such requests may require the collection and production of data with respect to subscribers that have been sold to an unrelated third party by Customer and agrees to collect and produce such information with respect to the period during which such subscribers were Active Subscribers (as defined in Schedule F) as long as CSG receives the approval of any acquiring entity to provide same. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold CSG harmless against any and all losses and/or damages incurred by CSG that arise directly from third-party claims that result from CSG’s provision of Discovery Support specifically requested by Customer.

15. COMPLIANCE.

(a) Compliance with Law; No Assumption of Obligations.

Customer agrees to comply with all applicable Export Laws in connection with Customer’s and/or an Outsourced Vendor’s (as defined below) use of the Products and Services under this Agreement. With respect to Customer’s obligation to comply with applicable Export Laws, CSG agrees to provide reasonable assistance to Customer by providing all necessary information, documentation, materials and technical data regarding the Products and Services to Customer, in a commercially reasonable time or such shorter period as may be required by law upon Customer’s request and free of charge, where such Customer reasonably determines that its receipt of such information, documentation, materials and/or technical data regarding the Products and/or Services is necessary in order to enable it to comply with applicable Export Laws. Further, Customer agrees that it shall not export or re-export Export Approved Products (as defined below) to a foreign country that is not an Export Approved Country (as defined below) without the prior written consent of CSG. Customer may export or re-export Export Approved Products to Export Approved Countries, in accordance with the Export Laws as defined in this subsection (b).

(b) If Customer fails to pay when due any Undisputed amounts owed hereunder and which in the aggregate exceed *** ******* ***** ******** ******* (****,***.**) on or before the date that is ****** (**) ******** **** after Customer has received written notice that such payment is past due, then CSG may, by giving written notice thereof to Customer in accordance with Section 19(l), terminate this Agreement or at CSG’s option, CSG may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 19(l) below as it pertains to the particular Product or Service for which such Undisputed amounts are due.

(f) Upon not less than thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to CSG, Customer may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and the Schedules hereto and any related statements of works and letters of authorization at any time upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (a “Change of Control Termination”). “Change of Control” means an event in which; (i) the Customer directly or indirectly, sells, disposes of or otherwise transfers all or substantially all of its assets to an unaffiliated purchaser(s) or (ii) a Controlling Interest in Customer is sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred to one or more persons that do not control Customer as of the date of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any such sale, disposition or other transfer by way of a merger, consolidation or reorganization or similar transaction, in one or a series of transactions. “Controlling Interest” shall mean (i) the ownership, direct or indirect, of more than fifty percent of the voting securities or other ownership interests of a party; or (ii) the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a party, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interest, by contract, or otherwise. To compensate CSG for losses arising from a Change of Control Termination prior to the natural expiration of the term of this Agreement, Customer agrees that prior to or upon the effectiveness of any such termination, and in addition to all other amounts then due and owing to CSG for the Services and Products previously provided to Customer hereunder, Customer will pay to CSG, ** * ******** ************** *** *** *** ** * *******, ** ****** ***** ** *** ********** ****, *** ***** *** **** ******** ** ******** ** ******** *. The parties understand and agree that this provision constitutes a critical element in the economic bargained for exchange of this Agreement and that CSG would not have entered into this Agreement without the benefits and protections hereunder.

(h) Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement or any portion thereof for any reason and the expiration or termination of any period during which CSG is required to provide Termination Assistance with respect to such termination, all rights granted to Customer under this Agreement with respect to the terminated Product or Service will cease, and Customer will promptly; (i) remove all the Affected Products from the Designated Environment and all of Customer’s other computer systems, storage media and other files; (ii) at Customer’s option either destroy or return to CSG the Affected Products 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 pursuant to the terminated portion of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the fees otherwise due and payable by Customer (including the Guaranteed Fees and Print and Mail Minimums, each as applicable), as set forth in Schedule F. For purposes of this subsection, “Affected Products” shall mean those Products which as a result of termination of Products or Services as provided in this Section 19, Customer is no longer provided a license. During any period during which CSG is required to provide Termination Assistance, the parties agree that each shall continue to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.

(i)      (i) Upon termination of the Processing Term as provided in this section, neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except for Section 2, Section 25, Section 31, Section 35, Section 14, Customer’s obligations under Section 19(h) and CSG’s obligations under Section 19(j), Processing Termination Assistance as provided in Section 20, Customer’s audit rights provided in Section 26, CSG’s inspection rights provided in Section 27, and either party’s obligations set forth in Sections 13 and 21 of this Agreement and any obligations that continue with respect to the Print and Mail Term and Print and Mail Services or pursuant to the operation of Section 22. Each party agrees to execute a mutually acceptable release with respect to claims arising in connection with the Processing Services in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule K on the one (1) year anniversary of the effective date of termination or expiration of the Processing Term.

(ii) Upon termination of the Print and Mail Term as provided in this section, neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except for Section 2, Section 25, Section 31, Section 35, Section 14, Customer’s obligations under Section 19(h) and CSG’s obligations under Section 19(j), Print and Mail Termination Assistance as provided in Section 20, Customer’s audit rights provided in Section 26, CSG’s inspection rights provided in Section 27, and either party’s obligations set forth in Sections 13 and 21 of this Agreement and any obligations that continue with respect to the Processing Term and Processing Services or pursuant to the operation of Section 22.

(j) Except as necessary to provide or receive the Processing Termination Assistance as defined in Section 20(b), upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Processing Term, the receiving party shall destroy all of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party pertaining to the provision of Processing Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, it is understood and acknowledged that during the Print and Mail Term, which may extend beyond the termination of the Processing Term, the disclosing party will continue to provide certain Confidential Information to the receiving party. During any portion of the Print and Mail Term during which the Processing Term has expired or been terminated, the receiving party shall be permitted to retain so much, but only so much, of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information as is reasonably required to provide or receive the Print and Mail Services and Print and Mail Termination Assistance as defined in Section 20(c); and the receiving party shall destroy all other such Confidential Information. Promptly following the termination or expiration of both the Processing and Print and Mail Terms (including the Extended Term, if applicable) and the expiration or termination of any period during which CSG is required to provide Termination Assistance with respect to such termination, the receiving party shall destroy all of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party. Any time during the Processing Term or the Print and Mail Term, and upon the expiration or earlier termination of each such term, each receiving party shall provide, promptly upon the reasonable request of the disclosing party, a certification, executed by the receiving party’s Chief Operations Officer, of any destruction of Confidential Information required under this Agreement.

(k) If CSG terminates substantially all Processing Services as provided in this subsection (a), (b), (c) or (d), and Customer is Fully De-converted, Customer shall pay CSG the Guaranteed Fees; provided however if (i) CSG terminates Processing Services other than as a result of Customer’s breach of its obligations pursuant to these Sections 19(a), (b), (c) or (d), or (ii) Customer terminates Processing Services pursuant to this Section 19(a) or Customer’s termination rights set forth in Sections 28 or 29, then Customer shall not be required to pay the Guaranteed Fees (as defined in Schedule F). If CSG terminates all Print and Mail Services as provided in this subsection (a), (b), (c) or (d) Customer shall pay CSG the Print and Mail Minimums; provided however if (A) CSG terminates Print and Mail Services other than as a result of Customer’s breach of its obligations pursuant to these Sections 19(a), (b), (c) or (d), or (B) Customer terminates Print and Mail Services pursuant to this Section 19(a), or Customer’s termination rights set forth in Sections 28 or 29, then Customer shall not be required to pay the Print and Mail Minimums (as defined in Schedule F). The parties further agree that without the certainty, consideration and terms provided in this Section 19, neither party would have been willing to enter into this Agreement nor would CSG have been willing to provide the Products and Services at the fees set forth in the Agreement or Schedule F.

(l) If a party is permitted pursuant to this Section 19 to terminate this Agreement in whole or in part, then, except as expressly set forth above in this Section 19, the terminating party shall provide written notice of such termination to the other party and such termination shall become effective as of the date set forth in such notice (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, in the event of a termination by CSG pursuant to subsections (a) through (d) that would effect a termination of the Processing Services or Print and Mail Services, then:

(i) such Termination Date shall be a date no earlier than the date that is *** ******* ****** (***) ******** **** following the date of such notice and the following conditions shall apply:

A. If CSG delivers a termination notice pursuant to 19(a) or 19(d), Customer shall be required to cure the breach that is the subject of the termination in advance of provision of Termination Assistance; or

B. If CSG delivers a termination notice pursuant to Section 19(b), then Customer shall be required to promptly pay any and all Undisputed fees and expenses due and payable hereunder.

(ii) Prior to the provision of Termination Assistance under subsection (i), Customer shall pay an amount equal to (A) all outstanding invoices due and payable pursuant to this Agreement, (B) a reasonable estimate of any applicable Guaranteed Fees, (C) to the extent Customer no longer uses Print and Mail Services, a reasonable estimate of the Print and Mail Minimums as provided in Schedule F, and (D) a reasonable estimate of the De-conversion Fees and Termination Assistance fees (as provided in Schedules E and F) that will be required for such Termination Assistance (collectively, the “Termination Period Pre-payment”). CSG shall include its calculation, with reasonable detail, of the Termination Period Pre-payment in any notice effecting a termination. Promptly upon the end of the period of Termination Assistance period for which a Termination Period Pre-payment has been made, the parties shall determine in good faith the actual amounts due, taking into account any applicable deposits, and promptly provide payments to account for any overpayment or underpayment.

(iii) During the *** ******* ****** (***) ******** **** ** Termination Assistance; CSG shall not be required to provide (1) the remedies provided in Schedule G-1 entitled “Performance Remedies”; (2) warranties or remedies under Section 7 entitled “Products, Warranties and Remedies”; and (3) subject to CSG’s performance of its obligations pursuant to the final sentence of Section 19(h) above, the Annual Cap on liability shall be extended to CSG’s indemnification obligations and breach of confidentiality during the period in which Termination Assistance is provided to Customer.

(iv) In the event of a termination by CSG pursuant to subsection (c), then such Termination Date shall be a date no earlier than the date that is *** ******* ****** (***) ******** **** following the date of such notice. Upon the Customer being Fully De-converted (as defined in Schedule F, Guaranteed Fees), Customer shall pay the fees as provided in subsection (k).

(m) If either party delivers a notice to the other party that is notice of a circumstance or fact that could, if not resolved, result in termination of all or a portion of this Agreement, then such notice shall expressly state that the notified party’s failure to correct such circumstance or fact could result in such termination. If such notice does not expressly discuss termination, then the notifying party shall be required to provide further notice that does expressly discuss such termination and the notified party shall have no less than the applicable cure period specified for such circumstance or fact from its receipt of such notice to cure such circumstance or fact before any such termination can become effective.

20. TERMINATION ASSISTANCE. “Termination Assistance” shall mean reasonable termination assistance relating to the transition to another vendor or system as further described in Schedule E.

(a) Termination by Customer for Certain Reasons. Upon termination of this Agreement or any part hereof by Customer for a material breach by CSG pursuant to Section 19(a), Section 19(c), Section 28 or Section 29, and provided that Customer has paid CSG any and all Undisputed fees and expenses due hereunder as of the date of termination CSG shall provide Termination Assistance for up to *** ******* ****** (***) ******** **** or as otherwise agreed by the parties pursuant to a subsequent statement of work.

*** Confidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission.

Execution Version

(b) Processing Termination. As requested by Customer, CSG will provide Customer reasonable Termination Assistance in connection with the Processing Services (“Processing Termination Assistance”) for up to *** ******* ****** (***) ******** **** during the Processing Term, provided that Customer has paid CSG any and all Undisputed fees and expenses due hereunder. In no event shall Processing Termination Assistance be provided to Customer after the Processing Term except in accordance with Section 20(a) or as otherwise provided in Schedules E or F. Processing Termination Assistance shall be limited to the services specifically described in Schedule E under the section entitled “Processing Termination Assistance”. The parties agree that unless extended pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement, CSG shall cease all Processing Termination Assistance when Customer is Fully De-converted. For purposes of this Section 20, Fully De-converted shall have the same meaning as provided in Schedule F, section entitled Guaranteed Fees.

(c) Print and Mail Termination Assistance. As requested by Customer, CSG will provide Customer reasonable Termination Assistance in connection with the Print and Mail Services (“Print and Mail Termination Assistance”) for up to *** ******* ****** (***) ******** ****, provided that Customer has paid CSG any and all Undisputed fees and expenses due hereunder. Print and Mail Termination Assistance shall include such services as may be reasonably required to accomplish a transition to another vendor, which shall include the services described in Schedule E under the section entitled “Print and Mail Termination Assistance”.

21. CONFIDENTIALITY.

(a) Definition. Customer and CSG may reveal to each other information relating to each other’s business, the Products, Services and any third-party software provided hereunder, which is confidential (the “Confidential Information”), and Customer acknowledges that confidentiality restrictions are imposed by CSG’s licensors or vendors. Confidential Information shall include, but not limited to, all of Customer’s and CSG’s trade secrets, and all know-how, design, invention, plan or process and Customer’s data and information relating to Customer’s and CSG’s respective business operations, services, products, research and development, CSG’s vendors’ or licensors’ information and products, Customer’s customer lists and customer-related information (“Customer Lists”) and all other information that is marked “confidential” or “proprietary” prior to or upon disclosure, or which, if disclosed orally, is identified by the disclosing party at the time as being confidential or proprietary, or would logically be considered confidential by virtue of its relation to the subject matter hereof.

(b) Restrictions. Each party shall use its best efforts to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information and not show or otherwise disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties, including, but not limited to, independent contractors and consultants, without the prior written consent of the disclosing party. CSG shall use its best efforts to protect Customer’s Customer Lists, and shall, in any event, protect such lists with no less than the same level of care as it utilizes to protect its own customer lists. CSG shall not reveal any Customer List information to any third party without the express prior written consent of Customer, which Customer may withhold in its absolute discretion for any reason or for no reason at all. Each party shall use the Confidential Information solely for purposes of performing its obligations under this Agreement and for absolutely no other purpose. Each party shall indemnify the other for any loss or damage the other party may sustain as a result of the wrongful use or disclosure by such party (or any employee, agent, licensee, contractor, assignee or delegate of the other party) of its Confidential Information. Both parties recognize that Customer’s Customer Lists represent valuable information of Customer and breach of the obligations of confidentiality will result in substantial likelihood of irreparable harm and injury to Customer for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and which damages would be difficult to measure. Accordingly, CSG agrees that Customer shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available, to obtain immediate injunctive relief, as well as other equitable relief allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction. The first sentence of Section 17 sets forth those sole circumstances under which CSG may be liable in connection with the unauthorized, unintended disclosure of Customer’s Customer Lists. Neither party will allow the removal or defacement of any confidentiality or proprietary notice placed on the other party’s documentation or products. The placement of copyright notices on these items will not constitute publication or otherwise impair their confidential nature.

Execution Version

(c) Disclosure. Neither party shall have any obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any Confidential Information which; (i) is or becomes publicly available by other than unauthorized disclosure by the receiving party; (ii) is independently developed by the receiving party; or (iii) is received from a third party who has lawfully obtained such Confidential Information without a confidentiality restriction. In the event disclosure of a Customer List occurs as a result of an individual’s access to CSG’s system through Customer’s systems, CSG shall not be liable. If required by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority, the receiving party may disclose to such authority, data, information or materials involving or pertaining to Confidential Information to the extent required by such order or authority, provided that the receiving party shall first have used its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other protection reasonably satisfactory to the disclosing party sufficient to maintain the confidentiality of such data, information or materials. In any such event, the receiving party shall disclose only that portion of such Confidential Information as is legally required to be furnished in its reasonable opinion. If an unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information occurs, the parties will take all steps which may be available to recover the documentation and/or products and to prevent their subsequent unauthorized use or dissemination.

(d) Limited Access. Each party shall limit the use and access of Confidential Information to such party’s bona fide employees, agents and third-party vendors, including independent auditors and required governmental agencies, who have a need to know such information for purposes of conducting the receiving party’s business and who agree to comply with the use and non-disclosure restrictions applicable to the products and documentation under this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall CSG provide access to such information to a Competitor (as defined in Section 29). If requested, the receiving party shall cause such individuals to execute appropriate confidentiality agreements in favor of the disclosing party. Each party shall notify all employees and agents who have access to Confidential Information or to whom disclosure is made that the Confidential Information is the confidential, proprietary property of the disclosing party and shall instruct such employees and agents to maintain the Confidential Information in confidence.

22. SURVIVAL. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the terms and conditions of those Sections that would logically survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive.

23. ESCALATION. If (a) if either party believes that the other party is not assigning an adequate number of properly trained and qualified personnel to fulfill its responsibilities under the Agreement, or (b) a disagreement regarding a disputed payment is not resolved within ****** (**) ******** **** of CSG’s receipt of written notice of the disputed amount, then the parties agree that upon **** (*) ******** **** notice the parties shall escalate the matter within their respective organizations to be heard on the matter and reach a resolution. If communications at a particular level of escalation do not resolve the disagreement within *** (**) ******** ****, then either party may escalate the disagreement to the next higher level. The successive levels of escalation shall involve direct communication between the following personnel of each party: first, Customer’s Operations Contact and such person’s counterpart at CSG; next, Customer’s Contract Executive and such person’s counterpart at CSG; next, each party’s Chief Operations Officer; and finally, each party’s Chief Executive Officer.

24. NATURE OF RELATIONSHIP. In performing hereunder, both parties are acting as independent contractors and neither party undertakes to perform any obligation of the other, whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any responsibility for the other’s business or operations. Each party understands and agrees that the other party may perform for or purchase similar goods and services from third parties and license same or similar products to or from third parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership or joint venture between CSG and Customer. Neither party shall hold itself out as having any authority to enter into any contract or create any obligation or liability on behalf of or binding upon the other party. The parties agree that the rights, responsibilities and obligations provided in this Agreement are non-exclusive, however in exchange for non-exclusivity the parties have agreed, as set forth in Schedule F of this Agreement, that Customer makes a commitment as to Guaranteed Fees and Print and Mail Minimums for Products and Services. If, during the term of this Agreement, Customer purchases, is assigned or otherwise acquires entities which are utilizing billing or print and mail services of a third-party vendor, Customer shall not be required to convert such subscribers to CSG’s billing or print and mail services.

25. OWNERSHIP.

(a) CSG Rights. Unless explicitly stated to the contrary in this Agreement, all trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights in the Products, the Deliverables (as defined under Schedule B), the incorporated third-party software or any third-party software delivered by CSG (collectively the “Software Products”), are and will remain the exclusive property of CSG or its licensors, whether or not specifically recognized or perfected under applicable law. Customer will not take any action that jeopardizes CSG’s or its licensor’s proprietary rights or acquire pursuant to this Agreement any right in the Software Products, except the limited use or other rights specified herein. Except as otherwise agreed upon in writing between CSG and Customer, CSG or its licensor will own all rights in any copy, translation, modification, adaptation or derivation of the Software Products, including any improvement or development thereof. Customer will obtain, at CSG’s reasonable request and sole expense, the execution of any instrument that may be appropriate to assign these rights to CSG or its designee or perfect these rights in CSG’s or its licensor’s name.

(b) Customer Rights. All trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights of Customer are, and all Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, Customer’s Information, is, and will remain the exclusive property of Customer, whether or not specifically recognized or perfected under applicable law. CSG will not take any action that jeopardizes Customer’s proprietary rights, including, but not limited to, any rights to Customer’s Information, and shall not acquire pursuant to this Agreement any right therein. Except as otherwise agreed upon in writing between CSG and Customer, Customer will own all rights in any copy, translation, modification, adaptation or derivation of Customer’s proprietary rights and Customer’s Information, including any improvement or development thereof. CSG will obtain, at Customer’s reasonable request and sole expense, the execution of any instrument that may be appropriate to assign these rights to Customer or its designee or perfect these rights in Customer or its designee’s name.

26. AUDIT; OVERPAYMENT. No more than **** in any ****** ***** (**) ****** ****** the term of this Agreement and for *** (*) ****** after its termination for any reason or expiration and upon not less than ****** (**) ******** **** prior written notice to CSG, and during normal business hours, Customer may conduct an audit of CSG’s records regarding Reimbursable Expenses and all other payments made by Customer to CSG to verify that Customer has paid the correct amounts during the preceding ****** (**) ***** ******. Any such audit will be at Customer’s expense and shall be conducted by Customer’s internal audit division (the members of which may be employed by an Affiliate of Customer), or an independent auditor who shall execute a confidentiality agreement with CSG (in form reasonably acceptable to CSG), and shall be conducted in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Should such an audit reveal, or should Customer otherwise discover, that CSG overbilled Customer and Customer overpaid CSG, CSG shall credit Customer’s account by an amount equal to the amount overbilled and overpaid. If, at the time of such audit, Customer has a **** (*) ******* owed to CSG, CSG shall pay Customer for the amount ********** *** ********. Moreover, should such an audit reveal that CSG overbilled Customer and Customer overpaid CSG an amount equal to or greater than **** ******* (**) of the correct amount due during the period covered by the audit, CSG shall reimburse Customer for all reasonable costs incurred by Customer in performing the audit which shall not exceed ******-**** ******** ******* (***,***.**). *** ****** *** *********** ** *** ***** ** **** ******* ** ***** ********* ***’* **** *** ********* ********* *** ********’* **** *** ********* ****** ** ********** **** *** ***** **** *** *** ********** *** ******** *** ******** *** ****** ***** *** *********; ******** **** *** ********* ********** ***** *** ***** ** *** ******** ** ***** ** ******* ********* ***************** ** ***. While conducting such an audit, Customer or its representative will be entitled to copy such items that CSG may possess that, in Customer’s reasonable opinion, provide evidence of overbilling by CSG or overpayment by Customer. Any item that is copied pursuant to the previous sentence shall be subject to the confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 21. It is understood and agreed that amounts payable pursuant to this Section 26 shall not be included under the ****** *** ** *** ***** ***.

27. INSPECTION.

While conducting such inspection, CSG or its representative will be entitled to copy such items that Customer may possess, in CSG’s reasonable opinion, that are in violation of this Agreement. Any item that is copied pursuant to the previous sentence shall be subject to the confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 21.

28. FORCE MAJEURE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither party shall be liable to the other for its failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement during the period of a Force Majeure Event to the extent that performance is prevented by such Force Majeure Event. The party that is prevented from fully performing its obligations under this Agreement due to such Force Majeure Event (the “Affected Party”) shall promptly take and continue to take all reasonable actions to resume its performance as soon as possible. “Force Majeure Event” shall mean the following unforeseen and extraordinary events that are beyond the control of the Affected Party: (1) acts of God; (2) acts of a public enemy; (3) acts of a government in its sovereign capacity; (4) war; (5) catastrophic weather conditions such as hurricanes, tornadoes and typhoons; and (6) fire, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, sabotage, riot and embargoes, which in every case listed in items (1) through (6) above are (i) without fault or negligence of the Affected Party or its suppliers and subcontractors and (ii) prevent the Affected Party from performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Affected Party shall provide notice to the other party of a Force Majeure Event within twenty four (24) hours following the commencement of the Force Majeure Event (or, if not possible due to such Force Majeure Event, as soon as possible thereafter). Such notice shall specify, at minimum, the date and time of commencement of the Force Majeure Event, the cause of the Force Majeure Event and the Affected Party’s plan to resume its performance. Events for which such notice is not delivered shall not be deemed to be Force Majeure Events. In the event that a Force Majeure Event prevents the Affected Party from performing its obligations for those Products and Services identified in Schedule H under MARC I or payment of the fees provided under Schedule F for a period of ****** (**) ** **** ******** ****, the other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon delivery of written notice to the Affected Party. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall not be obligated to make any payments under this Agreement for any period, solely related to the impacted Products and Services, during which CSG’s performance is prevented by a Force Majeure Event.

29. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other party’s prior approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

CSG Product Description

Advanced Customer Service Representative® (“ACSR®”). ACSR® provides an “easy to use” fully functional customer care tool that can be used to perform many account management functions. ACSR® is a graphical user interface for CSG’s CCS and ACP service bureau subscriber management systems. ACSR® significantly reduces training time and eliminates the need for customer service representatives (“CSRs”) to memorize transactions and codes. CSRs instead may access reference tools, help screens and subscriber data.

ACSR® also has the ability to analyze subscriber and work order history, setup and perform collection and delinquency treatment tasks, add, swap, perform equipment operations, track and handle complaints, and perform dispatching functions.

ACSR® module for High Speed Data. ACSR® module for High Speed Data allows customers, through the graphical user interface, to access subscriber information on CCS as it relates to Customer’s offering of high speed data services.

ACSR® AOI. ACSR AOI is an application object interface that allows third party applications to be used in conjunction with ACSR.

CSG Screen Express®. Integrated with CSG ACSR® and the call center’s Automatic Call Distributor (“ACD”) telephony switch, CSG Screen Express® provides incoming call/ACSR® screen synchronization at the CSR workstation. Linking with a resident ACD, the CTI server simultaneously routes the call to the CSR’s phone while bringing up the caller’s account information on the CSR’s desktop. In addition, CSG Screen Express® provides basic software-based operations of the CSR’s physical telephone through a direct soft phone feature that is integrated with the local / national phone switch.

CSG Statement Express™. CSG Statement Express electronically stores, retrieves and prints an ESP statement exactly as it appears to subscribers, including customized statement messages and advertisements. Statements are available within forty-eight (48) hours of printing, making the images available to Customer Service Representatives before subscribers. CSG Statement Express™ works in either a stand-alone capacity or integrated with ACSR.

CSG Vantage®. Vantage is a database that enables customers to evaluate product and service performance, conduct customer analysis and lifetime values, and transform raw data into real-time reports and graphs. CSG’s Vantage is a highly flexible decision support product that allows customers to generate customized reports based on their business needs. The product is often used for commission reporting, operational analysis and management, royalty reporting, campaign analysis, troubleshooting, and a variety of other applications designed to provide insight to market and customer behavior. In addition, Vantage features interactive applications that allow clients to target their customers (down to the individual subscriber level) through statement messaging and mass adjustment applications).

CSG Vantage® Plus. CSG Vantage® Plus reporting tool provides a web front end for the report management system (“RMS”) reporting system. CSG Vantage® Plus allows much greater flexibility in retrieving and presenting the RMS report data. Additionally, Customer will be able to administer the number of users on the system as well as which reports each user has access to. With CSG Vantage® Plus, Customer can view data in HTML format and download or export this data in comma separated value (i.e., “CSV”) format. Attachment 1 provides the reports that shall be made available to Customer as of the Effective Date. Increasing the number of Reports in Attachment 1 will be subject to additional fees as set forth in Schedule F.

(“CSG”) and [Name of Company], with its principal offices at [                            ] (“Company”).

RECITALS

CSG and Company intend to discuss certain matters regarding potential business relationships, including opportunities regarding CSG’s software and systems (the “Products”) in certain areas.

In these discussions, CSG and Company may disclose to the other confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets for evaluation of the Products and any potential business relationship (the “Evaluation Process”).

As a result, CSG and Company agree on the following terms for disclosure and protection of their respective information.

1. DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. “Confidential Information” means information developed, acquired or licensed that is maintained as confidential information or trade secrets, including products planning information, marketing strategies, plans, finance, operations, customer relationships, customer profiles, sales estimates, business plans, internal performance results relating to past, present or future business activities, scientific or technical information, designs, processes, procedures, formulas, or improvements, confidential or proprietary concepts, documentation, reports, data, specifications, computer software, source code, object code, flow charts, databases, inventions, information, know-how, show-how and trade secrets, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, and all documents, inventions, substances, engineering and laboratory notebooks, drawings, diagrams, specifications, bills of material, equipment, prototypes and models, and any other tangible embodiment of the foregoing.

2. IDENTIFICATION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. All information which is disclosed by the disclosing party to the receiving party and which is to be protected hereunder as Confidential Information of the disclosing party shall:

(a) if in writing or other tangible form, be labeled as proprietary and/or confidential, and

(b) if oral, be identified as proprietary and/or confidential at the time of disclosure and confirmed in writing by the disclosing party as confidential and/or proprietary within ******* (**) ******** **** of the date of disclosure.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY. CSG and Company agree, with respect to the other’s Confidential Information, for a period of three (3) years from the date of disclosure:

(a) to take reasonable precautions necessary to safeguard confidentiality of that Confidential Information, including those the party takes to protect its own Confidential Information and those the other party reasonably requests from time to time;

(b) not to disclose that Confidential Information to any person or entity except its employees who have a need to know and require access in connection with the Evaluation Process;

(c) to require that such employees (i) agree to comply with the use and non-disclosure restrictions applicable to such Confidential Information under this Agreement and (ii) acknowledge the disclosing party’s right to enforce these restrictions against the employee before disclosing that Confidential Information to any such employee; and

55

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

*** Confidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission.

Execution Version

(d) not to remove or deface any notice of confidentiality on the Confidential Information. The placement of a copyright notice on any Confidential Information will not constitute publication or otherwise impair its confidential nature.

4. USE. Each party will use the Confidential Information of the other party exclusively to evaluate the Products and evaluate potential business relationships. The Company will not copy the Products without CSG’s prior written permission, and CSG and Company will not copy any of the other’s Confidential Information without the other’s prior written permission.

5. UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE. The unauthorized use or disclosure of either party’s Confidential Information will cause the party irreparable harm, and any actual or threatened unauthorized use or disclosure will entitle the disclosing party to injunctive relief, without bond. If an unauthorized use or disclosure of either party’s Confidential Information occurs, the recipient will immediately notify the disclosing party and take, at the recipient’s expense, all steps which are reasonably necessary to recover the disclosing party’s Confidential Information and to prevent its subsequent unauthorized use or dissemination, including availing itself of actions for seizure and injunctive relief. If the recipient fails to take these steps in a timely manner, the disclosing party may take them in its own or the recipient’s name and at the recipient’s expense.

6. LIMITATION. Neither party will have any confidentiality obligation with respect to any portion of Confidential Information that (i) the recipient independently knew or develops without using the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, (ii) the recipient lawfully obtains from a third party under no obligation of confidentiality, (iii) becomes available to the public other than as a result of an act or omission of the recipient or any of its employees or (iv) is required to be disclosed in a judicial or administrative proceeding after all reasonable legal remedies for maintaining such information in confidence have been exhausted including, but not limited to, giving the disclosing party as much advance notice of the possibility of such disclosure as is practical so that the disclosing party may attempt to stop such disclosure or obtain a protective order concerning such disclosure.

7. PRODUCTS. The Company acknowledges that CSG or its licensors own the Products and all patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and other proprietary rights related to the Products, whether or not specifically recognized or protected under the laws of any country, and that this Agreement gives the Company no rights with respect to the Products or CSG’s proprietary rights, except the limited rights specified in this Agreement. The Company will not take any action that jeopardizes CSG’s or its licensors’ proprietary rights or acquire any rights in the Products.

8. DISCUSSIONS. CSG and Company will act in good faith. This Agreement does not obligate CSG or Company to enter into any discussions, agreements or business relationships. Any agreement that will bind the parties not set forth in this Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of both parties. Oral agreements, promises and representations made between the parties but not contained in such a written agreement will not be binding.

9. RETURN OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. CSG and Company will, on request by the other, (i) return the other party’s Confidential Information and any tangible embodiment containing such Confidential Information, and (ii) deliver to the other party an affidavit which certifies that the party has complied with these termination obligations.

10. INDEMNITY. Each party will indemnify the other party against any damages, loss, liability or expense (including lawyer’s fees) that such other party may incur as a result of any violation of its confidentiality obligations hereunder, due to any act or omission of such party, its employees, agents or consultants. This Section will not be construed to limit or exclude any other claims or remedies that either party may assert under this Agreement or by law.

11. U.S. EXPORT CONTROLS. The Company acknowledges that the Products and all related technical data are subject to controls under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. The Company will not re-export or disclose the Products or any related technical data, or direct products thereof, to any country or person resident outside of the United States or Philippines (except to CSG and its employees), unless the Company obtains an appropriate authorization from CSG and the U.S. Department of Commerce.

• All MARC II business functions are required to be operational from a BCP standpoint ******* ******** *** ***** *** ******** *** ***** after declaration of a business disaster.

• All MARC III business functions are required to be operational from a BCP standpoint ******* ******** *** ***** *** ******** *** ******-*** after declaration of a business disaster.

In the event of a declared disaster, affecting Customer data, CSG will provide Customer with BCP coverage as follows for the following products and services:

Designated Environment. “Designated Environment,” means the then-current combination of other computer programs and hardware equipment that CSG specifies for use by all of its customers with the Products and Services as set forth on CSG’s customer extranet website (https://my.csgsupport.com) or succeeding site, which can be accessed by Customer upon request, or otherwise approved by CSG in writing for Customer’s use of the Products and Services at the System Sites. Customer (or any third parties permitted access in accordance with Section 12(d)(ii) below) may use the Products only in the then-current Designated Environment; provided, however, that CSG will provide to Customer no less than ****** (**) ****** prior written notice for any changes to the hardware and/or software in the Designated Environment solely related to (a) the operating system, or (b) CSG’s Products or Services that are under CSG’s sole and exclusive control, and to the extent applicable, CSG will provide to Customer prior written notice as soon as reasonably practicable for any other changes to the hardware and/or software in the Designated Environment. With respect to any other hardware and/or software identified in the Designated Environment that is licensed by CSG from a third party, CSG shall continue to include such hardware and/or software in the Designated Environment until such products are no longer supported by such third party. CSG shall promptly notify Customer upon learning that a third party vendor will cease supporting any particular hardware or software. CSG shall give ****** (**) ******** **** prior written notice to Customer of changes to the Designated Environment that do not require Customer or its Subscribers to upgrade its computer programs or hardware equipment, and will notify Customer in writing of changes that would necessitate training of Customer’s customer service representatives at least ****** (**) ****’ prior to the implementation of the change. In cases where CSG becomes aware that Customer is not operating its hardware or software in conformance with the Designated Environment, CSG will notify Customer of its knowledge of such nonconformance and support the Products within the non-compliant environment; however, the Parties agree that: (i) any support offered with respect to hardware or software operating outside the Designated Environment will be limited to the extent that the manufacturer or vendor of the hardware or software continues to provide general support for such hardware or software versions; and (ii) although CSG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Support Services, CSG shall not be subject to damages that are directly related to malfunctions of the Products caused by Customer’s use of the Products in such noncompliant environment. Customer further agrees that CSG will not have any responsibility or liability in connection with malfunctions or any damage resulting from any modifications to the Products not authorized by CSG. If Customer questions the necessity of upgrading to any new Designated Environment as requested by CSG, CSG shall meet with Customer to discuss the proposed changes in an effort to reach mutual agreement on the minimal level of changes to Customer’s equipment that are necessary. It is understood and agreed that Customer’s failure to keep its environment in compliance with the Designated Environment (a “DEG Failure”) shall not be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement or the license granted hereunder; provided, however, that to the extent that CSG’s performance under this Agreement is hindered due to such DEG Failure, such reduced level of performance shall not be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

CSG Vantage Designated Environment

Effective Date 7/25/09

Last Reviewed 10/30/09 – no changes

Using Vantage in the ACSR and/or ACP Voice Environment

The ACSR product runs on a TCP/IP network with a Sun Server acting as the SNA gateway. ACSR and Vantage can run on the same workstation but consideration must be given during installation to the overall network and workstation configuration. If the Vantage workstation is to use an existing AT&T Global Services circuit and that workstation does not have an InterNIC registered TCP/IP address, then additional consideration must be given to router configurations.

Consideration must be given to the overall environment in which Vantage runs. TCP/IP does not provide load balancing or prioritization on the line. Therefore, if an AT&T Global Services multi-protocol circuit is used for both Vantage and CCS/ACSR, consideration must be given to the estimated amount of activity that will be generated from Vantage. For all ACSR installations, prioritization is given to SNA traffic rather than TCP/IP based traffic. Consult CSG for specific installation and configuration information.

If the Vantage PC is to be used in the ACSR environment, the ACSR PC Workstation Requirements should be used for both Vantage and ACSR, with the inclusion of the additional Vantage software.

Printing

CSG recognizes that printing reports is a crucial part of managing business and has provided the following section below when considering new printers for purchase or determine if existing printers can be compatible.

As there is a vast amount of printer manufacturers and models available and the different technologies used, CSG cannot certify nor guarantees that each model will work as expected. Clients are responsible for obtaining printers they wish to test as well as verifying all printing functionality. As a reference, listed below are printer manufacturers/models that at one point have been used by CSG clients or are upgrade equivalents.

Additional information on CSG Form types and on the process of setting up the print spooler is available upon request. Please contact your SBU Representative.

Printer Guidelines / Recommendations

1) Network Connectivity: Hewlett Packard External Jet direct EX module with SNMP capability (Printer interface external box required for system printing).

2) Printer RAM: Ensure the printer selected has the necessary RAM to support the job types and job sizes requested to be spooled for print.

3) Alebra Brixton OpenClient software for Solaris minimum release R4.1.3.5; Allows 3287 emulation for mainframe printer connections. Provides CSG the ability to troubleshoot print job data from the mainframe to the spooler (server disk).

4) Network Cards/Devices: Sun Network Interface Hardware required with third party network providers.

Printers

Suggested printer manufacturers/ models:

IBM 6500 all models (For reports) (with parallel port) (do not order with internal Ethernet card) (New by manufacturer) (Replaces several of the IBM 6400 models)

IBM 4247 model 003 (For reports) (with parallel port) (do not order with internal Ethernet card) (New by manufacturer) (Replaces the IBM 4226, 4230, and 4232 models)

Lexmark 4227 Plus - (work order printer)

Okidata ML 320 Turbo - (For cash register receipts)

LaserJet Printers (For screen prints) - Most LaserJet printers should be compatible.

Please Note: Additional software is needed to support printing

This install utility will handle the permissions required to register the .dll and .ocx files used by the ACSR application.

(2) Windows XP

• Windows XP Professional is supported.

• Windows XP Home edition not supported.

• CSG strongly recommends running with the latest service pack as provided by Microsoft.

• Within the XP domain, users should be defined as Power Users or Administrators. The ACSR application requires registration of OCX and DLL files in the Windows registry and, similar to Windows 2000, Microsoft has granted this ability to users with Power User or greater privileges.

• If the client network administrator does not want to define users as Power Users or Administrator, then the Microsoft compatible security template that opens up the default access control policy for the Users group must be installed. Installation of this template will allow ACSR to install and function correctly. For more information about this template, please contact Microsoft Support.

• To ensure proper installation and execution of ACSR, ANDS client version 2.0.21 or greater must be used. When installing the ANDS client on the XP desktop, the installing user must be an Administrator on the XP domain.

(3) Oracle 9I client for Windows 9.2.04 will continue to be supported.
