No Party shall disclose to any unauthorized person the Signatures of the Parties hereto. | ||
3. | Statute of Frauds: The Parties expressly agree that all Data transmitted pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be a writing or in writing for purposes of Section 2-201 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) or any other applicable law requiring that certain agreements be in writing and signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any such Data containing or having affixed to it a Signature shall be deemed for all purposes: (i) to have been signed and executed; and (ii) to constitute an original when printed from electronic files or records established and maintained in the normal course of business. | ||

In the event that STI and AT&T do not agree on the results of such evaluation, the President of STI 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, STI shall provide the third party which provided such bid or AT&T internal resources the same access to perform such Manual Processing for such Channel as provided in Section 7.1 above. | |||
7.4 | In the event that AT&T is entitled to increase the amount of its Manual Processing in accordance with Section 7.2 or 7.3 above, the parties shall meet promptly to agree on a plan to initiate the performance of such services by AT&T or its designated third party provider to complete such transition within *** of the Evaluation Period unless mutually agree to a longer or shorter period. AT&T will be responsible for formally communicating to STI the percentage allocation they are ultimately targeting to achieve in connection with the transition of such Manual Processing. STI will then work with AT&T to implement the identified allocation percentage in ***. (e.g., ***). STI 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, STI shall provide such reasonable professional services at STIs rates provided herein.

3.0 | Pricing Assumptions |
1. | STI and AT&T will meet once every *** to review and adjust the Manual Processing prices where appropriate. | ||
2. | In the event that the time studies reveal a material change in Manual Processing costs, greater than ***%, both parties agree to review in detail the core reason for the change. In the event that a change is attributed to performance, then both parties will mutually agree if a change is warranted. | ||
3. | STI anticipates Manually Processing additional Transaction types. The Manual Processing fees for these Transactions could be priced at a different rate. The fee for Manually Processing new Transactions would be determined by the complexity and processing rates associated with the Transaction. Fees for Manually Processing Transactions will be determined 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 the parties must mutually agree on a price until an amendment to the Contract is completed with mutually agreed upon pricing and associated SLA and remedies. | ||
4. | New Manual Processing not identified in Section 1.0 of this Attachment would be handled through a written change request. New Transactions will require an initial trial period that will produce a large enough sample size to price the fees for Manually Processing these Transactions. Service levels and remedies will not apply during the initial trial period, of a length to be mutually determined by the parties. | ||
5. | STI anticipates the cancelled rate for Manually Processing Transactions not to exceed ***% of total Manual Processing Transaction volume. If the actual number of Manual Processing Transactions that are cancelled exceeds ***%, STI will charge AT&T the cancelled rate for the initial Manual Processing Transactions that are cancelled and the shipped/successful Manual Processing fee for those Transactions over such ***% threshold. | ||
6. | Any modifications requested by AT&T that impact the configuration or processing methodology by STI may require adjustments to the Manual Processing fees herein. Upon receipt and review of AT&Ts modification request, STI 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. |

3.0 | Pricing Assumptions |
1. | STI and AT&T will meet once every *** to review and adjust the Manual Processing transaction prices where appropriate. | ||
2. | In the event that the time studies reveal a material change in Manual Processing costs, greater than ***%, both parties agree to review in detail the core reason for the change. In the event that a change is attributed to performance, then both parties will mutually agree if a change is warranted. | ||
3. | STI anticipates Manually Processing additional Transaction types. The Manual Processing fees for these Transactions could be priced at a different rate. The fee for Manually Processing new Transactions would be determined by the complexity and processing rates associated with the Transaction. Fees for Manually Processing Transaction will be determined 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 the parties must mutually agree on a price until an amendment to the Contract is completed with mutually agreed upon pricing and associated SLA and remedies. | ||
4. | New Manual Processing not identified in Section 1.0 of this Attachment would be handled through a written change request. New Transactions will require an initial trial period that will produce a large enough sample size to price the fees for Manually Processing these Transactions. Service levels and remedies will not apply during the initial trial period of a length to be mutually determined by the parties. | ||
5. | STI anticipates the cancelled rate for Manually Processing Transactions not to exceed ***% of total Manual Processing Transaction volume. If the actual number of Manual Processing Transactions that are cancelled exceeds ***%, STI will charge AT&T the cancelled rate for the initial Manual Processing Transactions that are cancelled and the shipped /successful Manual Processing fee for those Transactions over such ***% threshold | ||
6. | Any modifications requested by AT&T that impact the configuration or processing methodology by STI may require adjustments to the Manual Processing fees herein. Upon receipt and review of AT&Ts modification request, STI 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. |
