1.    The Parties acknowledge that upon the termination or expiration of the Amended and Restated Agreement (provided that such termination is not a result of termination by Supplier for cause),  existing Customers will need to be migrated to AT&T-hosted or to third party-hosted platforms.  Because of the volume of Customer provisioning that is handled by Supplier at the time of execution of this Amended and Restated Agreement, the Parties agree that they will need to develop a Transition Plan at that time in order to carry out an orderly, migration that mitigates disruption of operations for AT&T.  For purposes of this section, Transition Plan shall be defined as a mutually negotiated, written document outlining the respective obligations of each Party in carrying out an incremental or phased cutover of Customer Order provisioning provided by Supplier under this Amended and Restated Agreement to AT&T, including the continued payment of agreed unit prices under any supplemental Order, to the extent incurred, and the payment of any agreed time and material charges incurred above the existing unit prices.

2.    The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith toward a Transition Plan that will cover at least the following points:

(i)      Segmenting Customer Information from the view, modification, deletion or any other access by Supplier or Supplier-chosen subcontractors who will continue to work for Supplier on other, non-AT&T e-commerce businesses after the Transition Plan;

(i)      Electronic capture, transfer and backup during Transition Plan of (a) Customer Information, including names, addresses, and IP addresses and other identifying information needed to carry out the migration and (b)pending trouble tickets, billing or provisioning corrections, and other data for Customer Orders in process; and

(iii)     The length of time needed to complete the Transition Plan, including a schedule for phased or incremental cutovers.

3.    Supplier shall not be required, pursuant to subsections (g)  (1) and (g) (2) above or otherwise, to disclose or otherwise make available to the AT&T the proprietary technology, software, or source code of Supplier or Supplier subcontractors, as well as any Confidential Information relating thereto.

****, as agreed upon by the Parties.   For the avoidance of doubt, as used above, the term CPH shall apply for ****, as applicable for the Transaction Type).

Average Handle Time (AHT) for Inbound Calls and Outbound Calls and Chats supported under an Order, means the ****.  Average Handle Time for manual processing of Transactions supported under an Order, means the ****.  AHT shall be determined by applicable ASP Solution reports and, to the extent such reports are not available, a Time Study for such task or task component for which reporting data is not available.  AHTs shall be determined assuming volumes within forecasted levels and distribution patterns and for Agent performance in compliance of required quality and other SLAs.

The foregoing pricing terms shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions set forth in Sections 4.4 and 4.5 below and in an applicable Order (such as forecast requirements, minimums and additional pricing assumptions).  Upon determining applicable Transaction Prices, Supplier shall provide a chart of such Transaction Prices for each Transaction Price to AT&T (the “Price Chart”).  Such Price Chart shall apply to applicable Transactions until modified or replaced pursuant to the terms of this Amended and Restated Agreement or the Order.  Upon any such modification, a modified Price Chart shall be supplied.

4.3   “FTE Pricing” for Customer Care Support where a Transaction Price does not apply or is not available for a given program or program element (i.e. in a new program) shall be determined as follows:  ****.    For such program for such period, AT&T will be invoiced based on the ****.   Supplier shall notify AT&T prior to its consuming any **** to be invoiced as Overtime ****.   The foregoing pricing terms shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions set forth in an applicable Order (such as forecast requirements, minimums and pricing assumptions).   

4.4    During periods where Customer Care Support is subject to an Exclusion (as defined in the applicable Order), in the event that Supplier determines that the number of available  Agents for support of Contacts or Manual Transaction Processing may be able to be augmented or maintained by retaining Agents outside of or following the conclusion of their scheduled shift where such retention would require Overtime **** for such Agents, Supplier shall notify AT&T of such potential availability.  Upon the written approval of AT&T, Supplier may bill, in addition to any Transaction Price, an amount of **** of the Baseline Rate per **** applicable to the program for each Overtime **** authorized by AT&T (or other amount as agreed upon by the Parties in writing).  

For the avoidance of doubt, the premiums in excess of base Transaction Prices or the applicable Baseline Rate per **** (for FTE Pricing) set forth above are not billable to AT&T in the event that such Overtime **** are (i) not approved by AT&T in writing, or (ii) consumed, at Supplier’s election, to maintain required service levels during

periods where such Overtime **** are the result of Agent staffing shortages due to sick call outs or Agent attrition (and not the result of an Exclusion).

4.5  Pricing Assumptions

Except as otherwise set forth in an Order, the following terms (the “Price Assumptions”) shall apply to programs or program elements with Transaction Pricing:  

i)Supplier and AT&T will meet once every **** (as requested by either Party) to review and adjust, in accordance with the terms set forth herein and the Order, the applicable Transaction Price where appropriate based on changes in CPH or as set forth in this Section 4.5 below.

ii)     In the event that the ASP Solution reporting data or Time Studies reveal a material change in Supplier’s or Customer Care Support costs greater than **** for a given Transaction Type, both Parties agree to review in detail the core reasons for such change.  Except to the extent where a change in processing costs is attributed to Supplier not meeting its performance obligations and not to a change in the process or applications supporting the process, then both Parties will negotiate in good faith a change in the pricing to reflect such change factoring such metrics as ****. 

iii)    Supplier anticipates Customer Care Support for additional Transaction Types or Contact types may be added form time to time.  The fees for these new Transactions or Contact types could be priced at a different rate.  The fee for processing for such new Transactions Types or Contacts would be determined by the complexity and processing requirements associated with the Transaction and the Transaction Price for Manually Transactions Processing or Contacts will be determined (in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2) after a large enough sample size is processed by the ASP Solution and will be mutually agreed to in writing by both Parties.  During this period which shall not exceed ****, the Parties shall mutually agree on a price until an amendment to the Order is completed with mutually agreed upon pricing and associated SLA and remedies reflecting such new Transaction Types or Contacts.

iv)    New Customer Care Support elements or changes as set forth in this Section 4.5 above would be handled through a written change request.  New Contact support or Manual Transaction Processing will require an initial trial period that will produce a large enough sample size to provide Transaction Pricing (and the respective Transaction Price) for such Contacts or Manually Processing.  Service levels and remedies will not apply during the initial trial period, which shall not exceed **** unless mutually agreed by the Parties.

v)    Any modifications requested by AT&T that impact the CPH, configuration or processing methodology by Supplier may require adjustments to the fees herein.  Upon receipt and review of AT&T’s modification request, Supplier shall inform AT&T of any proposed increase to the fees. AT&T will have the sole option of whether or not to move forward with its requested modification. 

vi)    Supplier shall be entitled to an additional period, not to exceed ****, upon a large ramp of Agents for a program or the addition, enhancement, upgrade or re-release of a material change to process or procedure requested by a AT&T, where the Parties agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) that such change can reasonably be expected to materially affect Supplier’s ability to meet one or more Service Levels (each, an “SL Relief Period”).  Such SL Relief Period shall apply only with respect to the Service Level(s) that the Parties agree are adversely affected by such addition, ramp, enhancement, upgrade, modification or re-release.  During a SL Relief Periods, Remedies shall not be imposed with regard to the affected Service Level(s) for the impacted Services, however, that Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the Services Levels.

vii)   In the event that daily Contact or Transaction volumes for a program element are not sufficient to support a staff of **** (as demonstrated by typical statistical evaluations used in the industry that take into consideration program SLAs), Supplier may require a reasonable minimum number of

Transactions and/or Contacts for such programs for such periods or elect to bill for such portion using FTE Pricing (as set forth in Section 4.2) above) applicable to the program.  In addition, the Parties shall agree on changes to the Transaction Price (and **** fees if applicable) for additions to the normal days or hours of operation for a given program prior to implementing such change.

viii)   In the event that Manual Transaction Processing or Contact processing times are materially increased (or CPH materially decreased) as a result of an error, delay or increased as a result of an error or failure of an AT&T (or its agents) provided application or system or other Exclusion, Supplier, shall notify AT&T of such condition and the Parties shall discuss options to address such condition.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Vendor, if such condition is not resolved in a reasonable period of time, Vendor, may, upon notification to AT&T, require for such impacted periods to bill using for Agents working such program during such period to be billed at the Baseline **** Rate per **** applicable to the program in lieu of the applicable Transaction Price for Transactions or Contacts supported during such interval.

ix)    Pricing includes, for Inbound Calls, call recording with retention of such recordings for ****.  AT&T shall have access to such recordings, in accordance with processes mutually agreed upon by the Parties, for purposes off monitoring and evaluation of Customer Care Support quality.

6.0Additional Channels

AT&T may add additional Channels (which may be outside of AT&T eCommerce) to this Amended and Restated Agreement at the same terms and conditions. In the event a new Channel requires material changes to the ****, Supplier shall inform AT&T of the cost variance and the Parties shall work together to determine whether or not to increase or decrease the Hosting Fee set forth in Section 2.0 for such new Channel or all Channels, as applicable.

For example if the **** systems architecture consists of ****, which are of substantially similar cost to support and maintain to the existing systems architecture with no incremental costs for ****, the Hosting Fee for such new Channel would not exceed the then current **** Channel Hosting Fee.
