e.     In the event AT&T makes such election and exceeds the percentage of Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and/or Chats (where such overage was incidental or a good faith error in estimation of volumes) set forth above in any ****, Supplier will not penalize AT&T for any such overage and, in such case, the Parties will promptly upon determining such overage, meet and negotiate in good faith a process to timely move to compliance with the then applicable requirements and percentage of Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and Chats AT&T should be handling pursuant to the terms of this Amended and Restated Order.

7.4       Termination **** of the Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and Chats

a.     In the event that AT&T elects to perform the Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and/or Chats itself or through a third party for **** in excess of the Threshold Percentage and Supplier does not have the appropriate skill sets or such third party bid or pricing is at a lower cost than Supplier under this Amended and Restated Order, Supplier shall have the opportunity to review the bid (subject to compliance with any obligations of confidentiality) and determine if Supplier can meet the same price and material terms to AT&T by such third party and/or skill set requirements as provided to AT&T in such bid.  Promptly after receiving such bid, AT&T shall provide Supplier with the necessary information relating to such bid (including material terms, pricing and resources) for Supplier to make such determination; provided, however, AT&T shall not be required to provide any information which would cause it to violate its confidentiality obligations to a third party.  Supplier shall take information provided by AT&T at face value in connection with such determination. 

b.     **** (“Evaluation Period”) of receiving the necessary information from AT&T, Supplier shall provide written notice to AT&T whether it will (a) perform the Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and/or Chats that are the subject of the Evaluation Period for **** on the same fees, service level agreements, key performance indicators, quality requirements, productivity requirements, countries or locations from which service is supported,  systems, training requirements, infrastructure or processing requirements (with materially equivalent legal terms and conditions as those that exist between the Parties, such as those pertaining to the allocation of risk and liabilities (e.g., limitation of liability, indemnification, payment terms and termination for convenience)) as set forth in such bid when taken as a whole or aggregate offer (unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in writing) immediately upon completion of such evaluation within the Evaluation Period (or upon **** of completion of the Evaluation Period if such terms and conditions or modified pricing require or provide for a modification in Supplier centers performing Services (i.e.; off shore location) or training or of Agents) and the Parties shall document such changes in the form of a written amendment to this Amended and Restated Order, (b) allow AT&T or such third party to assume such Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound calls and/or Chats for **** as provided in such bid, or (c)

escalate to its respective executives in accordance with the provision below.  In the event that Supplier does not provide written notice to AT&T within such **** period, AT&T may deem that Supplier elected not to match the applicable bid. In the case of notification by Supplier under item (b) above, such notification shall also contain estimation of cost increases, if any, for Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and/or Chats retained by Supplier.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that AT&T makes an election to move Customer Care Support from Supplier under the provisions of this Section in excess of the Threshold Percentage, such move must be to only to use the third party resources that were the subject of the bid used in the Evaluation Period and under the terms presented under such bid in all material respects.  In the event that Supplier and AT&T do not agree on the results of such evaluation, an officer of Supplier and an officer of the respective division of AT&T shall meet to resolve such dispute within **** of the conclusion of the Evaluation Period.  In the event that such executives cannot resolve such dispute, Supplier shall provide the third party which provided such bid or AT&T internal resources the same access to perform such Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound calls and/or Chats for **** as provided in Section 4.5 above.

c.     In the event that AT&T is entitled to increase the amount of its Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound calls and/or Chats in accordance with this Section, the Parties shall meet promptly to agree on a plan to initiate the performance of such services by its designated third party provider to complete such transition within **** of the conclusion of the Evaluation Period unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to a longer or shorter period.  AT&T will be responsible for formally communicating to Supplier the percentage allocation they are ultimately targeting to achieve in connection with the transition of such Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound calls and/or Chats.  Supplier will then work with AT&T to implement the identified allocation percentage in **** intervals, of ****.  (e.g., AT&T communicates to Supplier they want to increase the percentage allocation by **** in total.  Supplier will transition **** during the ****, **** during the **** and the **** during the **** until the additional **** (original percentage) is achieved).  Supplier shall provide reasonable assistance to AT&T in connection with such transfer provided at no incremental fee except that if any professional services for AT&T or such designated provider are required, Supplier shall provide such reasonable professional services at Supplier’s rates provided herein.  Any transition to AT&T or third party of Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound calls and/or Chats in accordance with this Section shall have no effect on the Technology Fee or Hosting Fee provided above provided however, in the event that this has AT&T exceeding the Threshold Percentage, Supplier may charge for, in addition to the Technology Fee and any other fees due under the Amended and Restated Order, a price per Customer Order in excess of the Threshold Percentage that uses the Workflow Manager where any Manual Transaction Processing is by a party other than Supplier equal to a fee not to exceed **** (excluding any Supplier Agents) granted access to the Order Manager, Call Tracker, and Visibility Manager and any other components of the ASP Solution and related Supplier system(s) access solely to perform such Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and Chats for ****.

d.     For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, termination of the Customer Care Support shall be permitted pursuant only under the terms of Sections “6.3” and “6.4” above.  In the event of an election by AT&T to move Customer Care Support in excess of the Threshold Percentage from Supplier under Section “6.4” where such move alters the type or distribution on a program of any of the Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and Chats retained by Supplier and is likely to adversely impact Supplier’s costs or efficiency, Supplier shall provide the third party which provided such bid or AT&T internal resources the same access to perform such Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound calls and/or Chats  for **** as provided in Section 4.5 above.  The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith modifications to the pricing, the requirements or processes pertaining to remaining Contacts or Transactions and/or applicable Service where such increase reasonably reflects Suppliers increased

a.     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.

b.    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.

c.     Except as set forth in Section 6.3(c) of the Amended and Restated Order, Supplier shall not be required, pursuant to this Section 6.9 or otherwise, to disclose or otherwise make available to AT&T the proprietary technology, software, or source code of Supplier or Supplier subcontractors, as well as any Confidential Information relating thereto.

“Normal Transaction Flow” means:

a.     Volumes and distributions are within the expected capacity thresholds for ASP Solution as identified in the Amended and Restated Agreement.

b.     The sending system emits a valid message for the activity desired per the agreed upon schema. 

c.     The AT&T client is also sending messages at the rate both Parties have determined acceptable for the Channel and via the agreed upon protocol.

d.     AT&T’s systems are accepting and correctly processing responses from the Supplier platform.

During the Normal Transaction Flow, it is assumed that the client is sending the correct number of messages per Transaction.

Order Gateway validations:  Upon receipt of a message, the Order Gateway will validate the message against the specified schema and/or configured business rules.  Additional security, database and business logic analysis will be performed to ensure the message can and should be processed by the Supplier system.  If both of these activates are successful the Order is submitted for processing.

4.     Automation Rates, SLAs and Remedies for Customer Orders

The Parties agree that measurement of automation levels and partial automation levels for Customer Orders is an important metric in overall subscriber satisfaction and the costs of both Parties.  As such, the following parameters are established to review and monitor Automation Rates on agreed upon Customer Orders.  The Parties acknowledge that the Actual Automation rate or Rate of Fallout may have many factors and causes including those that are not indicative of any failure or inadequate performance by a Party.  As such, the Parties shall meet quarterly to establish and review the parameters and requirements for measuring Automation Rates and, discuss adjustments as may be reasonably agreed upon by the Parties from time to time.  Any such adjustments shall be made pursuant to the Change Order Process under the Master Agreement. 

1.      Establishing Expected Automation Rate.

The Parties shall mutually agree in writing on the Customer Orders that constitute the Customer Orders in the Customer Order Class.  Such orders shall be:

(a)    supported by a Workflow and Order Manager configuration, process and flow that supports such Orders being capable of being an Automated Order (ie. is not a workflow or process that has, by business rule or otherwise, an anticipated Fallout condition for each such Customer Order), and

(b)    of a similar nature or type so as to provide meaningful Automation Reporting output for management purposes as reasonably agreed upon by the Parties without undo detail or quantities of measurements and reports.

(c)    Customer Orders with an established and tested Order Manager and Workflow configuration for at least ****.

Upon establishing the Customer Order Class, the Parties shall study the Automation Rate of the Customer Order Class for Completed Customer Orders in the Customer Order Class over the **** period that does not include a Special Event (an “Evaluation Period”) where the following data is reasonably constant or static during such Evaluation Period (collectively, the “Baseline Data”):

(a)    Mix of the types of Customer Orders within the Customer Order Class and the Automation Rate for such Orders,

(b)    Volume and arrival distribution of such Customer Orders,

(c)    Relative occurrence of issues that impact or cause Fallout or a Customer Contact (excluding Fallout as a result in a Defect in the ASP Solution or error in configuration or implementation of a process or workflow in the ASP Solution by Supplier), and

(d)   Current processes, workflow and task requirements and the SLA requirements established for the Customer Orders in the Customer Order Class as well as average handle times and system response times for connected applications external to the ASP Solution that are applicable to the Orders and related parameters (such a system timeouts and “retries”) (collectively, the “Requirements”).

The Parties shall use the Average Automation Rate for the Customer Order Class over each **** of the Evaluation Period less **** as the Expected Automation Rate for such Order Class.  In the event that, for each **** of an Evaluation Period, the **** Automation Rate varies from the average Automation Rate in such Evaluation Period by more than ****, the Parties shall (a) defer the assignment of an Expected Automation Rate for such Customer Order Class or (b) conduct such evaluation on an extended or new Evaluation Period, as may be reasonable, until such discrepancy and deviation is less than or equal to ****. 

For each Customer Order Class that has an established Expected Automation Rate, such rate shall remain the same during each **** of the Term. 

2.     Measurement and Reports.

Supplier will provide Automation Reports to AT&T for agreed upon Order Classes on a **** basis (each such ****, a “Measurement Period”) setting forth (a) calculations of actual performance relative to the SLAs for the relevant ****; and (b) in the event that any SLAs are not achieved in any given ****, a description of the cause or causes believed to have caused such failure to achieve such SLA, and, to the extent such caused by a Defect, any corrective actions taken by Supplier to prevent re-occurrence.
