Note 3: Customer’s TPS processing will be reviewed and adjusted on a ********* ******** basis at the end of the months of *****, ****, ********* and ******** of each year during the Term of the Agreement. For the purpose of determining the TPS processing level applicable to the next ******** *******, the ******* ***** *** measurements (as measured ****** per Note 4 below) on **** *** different **** for each of the ***** *** ****** of the then-ending ******* will be combined to create a list of ******* **** ******** (the “********* TPS Measurement List”).

CSG will begin invoicing Customer for the New Licensed TPS in the month immediately following the end of the ******** *******. For clarification purposes, TPS fees shall in no event be less than the minimum of the TPS processing level (supporting up to ***** ******* ***** TPS) specified above, i.e., included with the ******* ****** ********** ****** at no additional cost.

Note 4: TPS ****** measurements will consist of average measurements taken over ***** **** ****** intervals.

2. Customer desires to purchase, and CSG agrees to provide, incremental SLBOS TPS to support ACP production environment made available for Customer. Beginning on the date on which Customer’s first Active Subscriber is migrated to ACP (such date is also known as the “go-live day”) of migration to ACP, for the SLBOS TPS fee set forth in the table in Section 2 above, CSG agrees to provide SLBOS TPS in the amount of ***** ******* ******** ****; provided, however, that if Customer’s forecasted usage ****** **** **** prior to the go-live day be less than ***** ******* ******** *****, then CSG shall use the lower forecasted amount as of such date (i.e., the date that is ****** **** **** prior to the go-live day) as the amount of SLBOS TPS to be provided on the go-live day and Customer shall be invoiced for such on Customer’s monthly invoice. During the ****** **** **** after the go-live day, Customer may increase or decrease utilization of the SLBOS TPS and shall be invoiced for such on Customer’s monthly invoice in accordance with the SLBOS TPS utilized during such month. Customer and CSG agree that the SLBOS TPS usage as of the **** *** of the ****** **** **** after the go-live day shall be the level for which SLBOS TPS are prospectively provided and paid for by Customer at the SLBOS TPS fee set forth in Section 2 above, beginning with the first monthly invoice provided to Customer in accordance with the Agreement following the go-live day.
