WHEREAS, CSG and Customer acknowledge and agree to transition [**** *******] utilizing [**** ******] (where there exists an equivalent solution (e.g., CSG’s DNA DCE)) that allows Customer to execute [**** *******] using SLBOS transactions; and

 

WHEREAS, and, as a result, the Parties agree to amend the Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, CSG and Customer agree to the following as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) unless a different effective date is otherwise specified.

 

1. Customer and CSG agree CSG will provide and Customer shall consume CSG Data & Analytics (“CSG DNA”) Data Services, as more particularly described herein, in parallel with current CSG Vantage Services provided by CSG and consumed by Customer as of the Amendment Effective Date through not later than [******** *** ****] (“the “DNA Data Services Cutover Date”). As of the DNA Data Services Cutover Date, CSG will [******] the Vantage Services and functionality of the Vantage Services will no longer be available to be consumed by Customer; Customer will consume the functionality of the Vantage Services, as applicable, only as CSG DNA Data Services.

The parties further agree, as of the DNA Data Services Cutover Date, except as otherwise specifically referenced pursuant to this Amendment, references to or that include “Vantage” in the Agreement prior to the DNA Data Services Cutover Date shall be deemed deleted and of no further force or effect.

2. Customer agrees to [*******] all Customer’s Vantage Services queries and [******] its Vantage Services processes (including extracting data from Vantage Services) to DNA Data Warehouse Services not later than the DNA Data Services Cutover Date. The parties further agree CSG will provide reasonable efforts and Services enhancements [** ** ****] to Customer for a period of [*** (*) ****] after successful [*********] to the DNA Date Warehouse, as necessary, to address any functional gaps in DNA Data Warehouse where such similar functionality is currently available in the Vantage Services.

3. As of the DNA Data Services Cutover Date, Data Publisher Vantage Edition and Data Publisher File Edition will no longer be available; DNA Data Warehouse Now and DNA Data Warehouse Delta Views, respectively, will be available to adopt for Customer’s use.

4. CSG will [*******] Customer for Vantage Services through the DNA Data Services Cutover Date, and thereafter will [*******] Customer for the DNA Data Services. For clarifications purposes, the parties acknowledge and agree that any DNA Data Services transitioned prior to the DNA Data Services Cutover Date will be [********] as Vantage Services, pursuant to terms of the Agreement and, further, that DNA Data Services fees will not be [********* ** ********] until the DNA Data Services Cutover Date.

5. As of the DNA Data Services Cutover Date, the reference in Section 2.11, “Separate Cycle,” of Article 2, “Product Licenses” to “CSG Vantage®” shall be deleted and replaced as “DNA Data Services.”

6. Schedule A of the Agreement, entitled “Definitions,” shall be amended to add the following:

“Compute” means a unit of measure of CSG DNA Data Warehouse usage.

“Compute Credits” means, for purposes of the DNA Data Services, a measurement of Customer’s usage on the platform hosted by CSG’s chosen third party provider for the DNA Data Services, currently [********* ********** ***. (“*********”). ***********] calculations for compute credits are documented at [**********************************-**********-*************-*******] (the “[*********] Documentation”). CSG and Customer will both have access to any changes documented by [*********] in terms of [***********] Compute Credit calculation.

 

 


 

 

For clarification purposes, if CSG decides to change its third party provider or its process for how it defines and determines Compute Credits used by Customer such that CSG no longer aligns to [***********] online documentation, CSG agrees to provide at least [*** ******* ****** (***) *****] prior written notice of such changes (including with any new third party provider) to Customer and establish an equivalent Compute Credit Threshold Allowance, subject to Customer’s review and approval.

 

“Compute Credit Threshold Allowance” means the maximum number of Compute Credits Customer is allowed to consume [*******] without incurring additional charges from CSG. If Customer consumes Compute Credits below the Compute Credit Threshold Allowance, no additional invoicing from CSG for Customer’s DNA Data Warehouse usage will occur. In the event Customer exceeds the [*******] Compute Credit Threshold Allowance, CSG will invoice Customer for Compute Credits exceeding the threshold allowance at a Compute Credit rate defined in the Schedule F, “Fees,” Section 1., “CSG Services,” Subsection V., “Advanced Reporting,” subsection A.

In the event Snowflake or any CSG-designated third-party provider changes the calculation of Compute Credits based on warehouse type, the Compute Credit Threshold Allowance will be modified by a proportionally equivalent measurement. By way of example, if [*********] or any CSG-designated third-party provider changes the calculation from [* ** * *** ** ** (***** *****)] warehouse type, CSG will then increase the Compute Credit Threshold Allowance by the equivalent amount, two hundred percent (200%), of the then-current Compute Credit Threshold Allowance.

In the event Customer’s total number of Connected Subscribers changes by [****** ******* (***)] or more of the total Connected Subscriber number upon the Amendment Effective Date, CSG and Customer agree to revise the Compute Credit Threshold Allowance by an amount proportional to the change in total Connected Subscribers.

7. Schedule C of the Agreement, entitled “Recurring Services,” shall be amended as follows:

 

a) As of the Amendment Effective Date, Exhibit C-13, “CSG DNA Data SERVICES RECURRING SERVICES DESCRIPTIONS,” attached hereto as Attachment 1, shall be added to Schedule C to the Agreement; and
