Number of Shares Covered by Restricted Stock Award (the “Award Shares”):
                       
  
 This Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the Date of Restricted Stock Award set forth above (the
“Award Date”) by and between CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Grantee named above (the “Grantee”). 
  
 * * * 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company has adopted a 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, as of the Award Date the Company granted to Grantee a Restricted Stock Award (the
“Award”) covering the number of shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) set forth above (the “Award Shares”) and is executing this Agreement with Grantee for the purpose of setting forth the terms
and conditions of the Award; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and the covenants and conditions contained herein, the Company and Grantee agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Award of Restricted Shares. 

  
 (a) The Company hereby confirms the grant of the Award to Grantee as of the Award Date. The Award is subject to all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. 
  
 (b) Promptly after the execution of this Agreement,
the Company will cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”) to (i) either establish a separate account in its records in the name of Grantee (the “Restricted Stock Account”) and credit the Award Shares
to the Restricted Stock Account as of the Award Date or credit the Award Shares to a previously existing Restricted Stock Account of Grantee as of the Award Date and (ii) confirm such actions to Grantee in writing. 
  

	 	2.	Vesting of Award Shares. 

  
 (a) The Award Shares automatically will vest in Grantee on the first anniversary of the Award Date (the “Vesting Date”); provided, however, that
no Award Shares shall vest in Grantee on the Vesting Date unless Grantee has continuously served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company from the Award Date until the Vesting Date. 









 (b) After the Grantee has become vested in any of the Award Shares, the Company will instruct the
Transfer Agent to remove all restrictions on the transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or other disposition of the vested Award Shares in the Restricted Stock Account. Grantee thereafter shall be free to deal with and dispose of such vested
Award Shares in Grantee’s sole discretion and may request the Transfer Agent to issue a certificate for such vested Award Shares in Grantee’s name free of any restrictions. 
  

	 	3.	Cancellation of Unvested Award Shares. 

  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 15, if applicable, upon Grantee’s Termination of Director Service, all of the rights and interests of Grantee in
any of the Award Shares which have not vested in Grantee pursuant to Section 2 prior to such Termination of Director Service automatically shall completely and forever terminate; and, at the direction of the Company, the Transfer Agent shall remove
from the Restricted Stock Account and cancel all of such unvested Award Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination of Director Service” means the effective time when Grantee ceases to serve as a member of the Board of Directors
of the Company for any reason whatsoever. 
  

	 	4.	Service as a Director. 

  
 Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Grantee the right to continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the
Company. In the event of Grantee’s Termination of Director Service, Grantee shall have only the rights set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Award Shares. 
  

	 	5.	Change in Capitalization. 

  
 If at any time that any of the Award Shares have not vested in Grantee there is any non-cash dividend of securities or other property or rights to acquire
securities or other property, any liquidating dividend of cash and/or property, or any stock dividend or stock split or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding securities of the Company, then in such event any and all new,
substituted, or additional securities or other property to which Grantee may become entitled by reason of Grantee’s ownership of such unvested Award Shares immediately and automatically shall become subject to this Agreement, shall be delivered
to the Transfer Agent or to an independent Escrow Agent selected by the Company to be held by the Transfer Agent or such Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to the provisions of Sections 3 and 8), and
shall have the same status with respect to vesting and transfer as the unvested Award Shares upon which such dividend was paid or with respect to which such new, substituted, or additional securities or other property was distributed. Any cash or
cash equivalents received pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5 shall be invested in conservative short-term interest-bearing securities, and interest earned thereon also shall have the same status with respect to vesting and transfer as
the unvested Award Shares with respect to which such cash or cash equivalents were received. Cash dividends (other than liquidating dividends) paid on such unvested Award Shares shall be paid to Grantee and shall not be subject to vesting or to the
first sentence of this Section 5.

	 	6.	Representations of Grantee. 

  
 Grantee hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows: 
  

(a) Grantee had full legal power, authority, and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform Grantee’s obligations under this
Agreement; and this Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of Grantee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement of this Agreement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other
similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
  
 (b) Grantee is aware of the public availability on the Internet at
www.sec.gov of the Company’s periodic and other filings made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  

	 	7.	Representations and Warranties of the Company. 

  
 The Company hereby represents and warrants to Grantee as follows: 
  

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has all requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to issue the Award Shares to Grantee, and to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company have been duly and validly authorized; and all necessary corporate action has been taken
to make this Agreement a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement of this Agreement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws
now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
  
 (c) When issued to Grantee as provided for in this Agreement, the Award
Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. 
  

	 	8.	Restriction on Sale or Transfer of Award Shares. 

  
 None of the Award Shares that have not vested in Grantee pursuant to Section 2 (and no beneficial interest in any of such Award Shares) may be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of in any way (including a transfer by operation of law); and any attempt to make any such sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or other disposition shall be null and void
and of no effect. 
  

	 	9.	Enforcement. 

  
 The Company and Grantee acknowledge that the Company’s remedy at law for any breach or violation or attempted breach or violation of the provisions
of Section 8 will be inadequate and that, in the event of any such breach or violation or attempted breach or violation, 

  

 3 








 
the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy, at law or in equity, to which the Company may be entitled. 
  

	 	10.	Violation of Transfer Provisions. 

  
 Neither the Company nor the Transfer Agent shall be required to transfer on the stock records of the Company maintained by either of them any Award Shares
which have been sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to treat as the owner of such Award Shares or accord the right to vote or receive dividends to any
purported transferee or pledgee to whom such Award Shares shall have been so sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or otherwise disposed of in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  

	 	11.	Section 83(b) Election. 

  
 Grantee shall have the right to make an election pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.83-2 with respect to the Award Shares and, if Grantee makes such
election, promptly will furnish to the Company a copy of the form of election Grantee has filed with the Internal Revenue Service for such purpose and evidence that such an election has been made in a timely manner. 
  

	 	12.	Income Tax Obligations of Grantee. 

  
 Grantee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all federal, state, and local income taxes that may be due from Grantee at any time as a result of
(i) Grantee’s receipt of the Award, (ii) Grantee’s making of the election referred to in Section 11 with respect to any of the Award Shares, and (iii) the vesting in Grantee of any of the Award Shares; and the Company shall have no
liability to Grantee or anyone else for any of such income taxes. 
  

	 	13.	Voting and Other Stockholder Rights. 

  
 Grantee shall have the right to vote with respect to all of the Award Shares which are outstanding and credited to the Restricted Stock Account as of a
record date for determining stockholders of the Company entitled to vote, whether or not such Award Shares are vested in Grantee as of such record date. Except as expressly limited or restricted by this Agreement and except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, Grantee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to all of the Award Shares which are outstanding and credited to the Restricted Stock Account at a particular time, whether or not such Award Shares
are vested in Grantee at such time. 
  

	 	14.	Application of Plan. 

  
 The relevant provisions of the Plan relating to Restricted Stock Awards and the authority of the Committee under the Plan shall be applicable to this
Agreement to the extent that this Agreement does not otherwise expressly address the subject matter of such provisions. 
  

 4 









	 	15.	Change of Control. 

  
 (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a) and Section 3, all Award Shares which have not previously vested in Grantee pursuant to Section 2(a)
automatically shall vest in Grantee upon Grantee’s Termination of Director Service after the occurrence of a Change of Control unless such Termination of Director Service is a result of either (i) Grantee’s voluntary resignation as a
member of the Board of Directors of the Company or (ii) Grantee’s removal as a member of the Board of Directors for cause and by a vote of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation of
the Corporation. 
  
 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events: 
  

	 	(1)	The Company is merged or consolidated into another corporation or entity, and immediately after such merger or consolidation becomes effective the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of voting capital stock of the Company immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or consolidation do not own (directly or indirectly) a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock or other equity
interests having voting rights of the surviving or resulting corporation or other entity in such merger or consolidation; 

  

	 	(2)	any person, entity, or group of persons within the meaning of Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and the rules promulgated
thereunder becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act) of thirty percent (30%) or more of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company; 

  

	 	(3)	the Common Stock of the Company ceases to be publicly traded because of an issuer tender offer or other “going private” transaction (other than a transaction sponsored by
the then current management of the Company); 

  

	 	(4)	the Company dissolves or sells or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its property and assets (other than to an entity or group of entities which is then under common
majority ownership (directly or indirectly) with the Company); 

  

	 	(5)	 in one or more substantially concurrent transactions or in a series of related transactions, the Company directly or indirectly disposes of a portion or 



  

 5 









	 	 
portions of its business operations (collectively, the “Sold Business”) other than by ceasing to conduct the Sold Business without its being
acquired by a third party (regardless of the entity or entities through which the Company conducted the Sold Business and regardless of whether such disposition is accomplished through a sale of assets, the transfer of ownership of an entity or
entities, a merger, or in some other manner) and either (i) the fair market value of the consideration received or to be received by the Company for the Sold Business is equal to at least fifty percent (50%) of the market value of the outstanding
Common Stock of the Company determined by multiplying the average of the closing prices for the Common Stock of the Company on the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the first public announcement of the proposed disposition
of the Sold Business by the average of the numbers of outstanding shares of Common Stock on such thirty (30) trading days or (ii) the revenues of the Sold Business during the most recent four (4) calendar quarters ended prior to the first public
announcement of the proposed disposition of the Sold Business represented fifty percent (50%) or more of the total consolidated revenues of the Company during such four (4) calendar quarters; or 


  

	 	(6)	during any period of two consecutive years or less, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors of the Company cease, for any reason, to
constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company, unless the election or nomination for election of each new director of the Company who took office during such period was approved by a vote of at least seventy-five percent
(75%) of the directors of the Company still in office at the time of such election or nomination for election who were directors of the Company at the beginning of such period. 

  
 (c) If the vesting of any Award Shares is accelerated pursuant to Section
15(a) and such accelerated vesting causes Grantee to become liable for any excise tax on “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations thereunder) and
any interest or penalties thereon (such 

  

 6 








 
excise tax, interest, and penalties, collectively, the “Tax Penalties”), then the Company promptly shall make a cash payment (the “Cash
Payment”) to Grantee in an amount equal to the Tax Penalties. The Company also promptly shall make an additional cash payment to Grantee in an amount rounded to the nearest $100.00 which is equal to any additional income, excise, and other
taxes (using the individual tax rates applicable to Grantee for the year for which such Tax Penalties are owed) for which Grantee will be liable as a result of the Grantee’s receipt of the Cash Payment (the additional cash payment provided for
in this sentence being referred to as a “Gross-Up Payment”). In addition, Grantee shall be entitled to promptly receive from the Company a further Gross-Up Payment in respect of each prior Gross-Up Payment until the amount of the last
Gross-Up Payment is less than $100.00. 
  

	 	16.	General Provisions. 

  
 (a) No Assignments. Grantee may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any of Grantee’s rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company; and any such attempted sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or other disposition shall be void. 
  
 (b) Notices. All notices, requests, consents, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and made upon personal delivery to the person for whom such item is intended (including by a reputable overnight delivery service which shall be deemed to have effected personal
delivery) or upon deposit, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in the United States mail as follows: 
  
 (i) if to Grantee, addressed to Grantee at Grantee’s address shown on the stockholder records maintained by the Transfer Agent or at
such other address as Grantee may specify by written notice to the Transfer Agent, or 
  
 (ii) if to the Company, addressed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company at the principal office of the Company or at such other
address as the Company may specify by written notice to Grantee. 
  
 Each such
notice, request, consent, and other communication shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt thereof as set forth above or, if sooner, three (3) business days after deposit as described above. An address for purposes of this Section 16(b) may
be changed by giving written notice of such change in the manner provided in this Section 16(b) for giving notice. Unless and until such written notice is received, the addresses referred to in this Section 16(b) shall be deemed to continue in
effect for all purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Choice of
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws, and not the laws of conflicts of laws, of the State of Delaware. 
  
 (d) Severability. The Company and Grantee agree that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and shall be
binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and, in any event, that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement for any reason shall be adjudged to be


  

 7 








 
unenforceable or invalid, then such unenforceable or invalid provision shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement, and the Company and Grantee agree to replace such unenforceable or invalid provision with an enforceable and valid arrangement which in its economic effect shall be as close as possible to the unenforceable or invalid provision.

  
 (e) Parties in Interest. All of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of the Company and the Grantee; provided, that the provisions of this Section
16(e) shall not authorize any sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or other disposition of the Award Shares which is otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. 
  
 (f) Modification, Amendment, and Waiver. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
shall be effective against the Company or Grantee unless such modification, amendment, or waiver is in writing and states that it is intended to modify, amend, or waive a specific provision of this Agreement and, in the case of the Company, such
modification, amendment, or waiver has been authorized by the Committee. The failure of the Company or Grantee at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect
the right of the Company or Grantee thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 
  
 (g) Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Company and Grantee with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement
and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings, and agreements, written or oral, with respect to such subject matter. 
  
 (h) Headings. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not
constitute a part of this Agreement. 
  
 (i) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts with the same effect as if both the Company and Grantee had signed the same document. All such counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, shall be construed together, and shall constitute one and
the same instrument. 
  
 (j) Further Assurances. The
Company and Grantee agree to use their best efforts and act in good faith in carrying out their obligations under this Agreement. The Company and Grantee also agree to execute and deliver such additional documents and to take such further actions as
reasonably may be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
