3.4 Information

 

a.              In connection with this Agreement, including Supplier’s performance of its obligations hereunder and AT&T’s receipt of Work, either Party may find it beneficial to disclose to the other Party (which may include permitting or enabling the other Party’s access to) certain of its Information.  For the purpose of this clause, each Party’s disclosure of Information to the other Party includes any Information that a Party receives, observes, collects, handles, stores, or accesses, in any way, in connection with this Agreement.  Information of a disclosing Party shall be deemed to be confidential or proprietary when it is clearly marked or otherwise identified by the disclosing Party as being confidential or proprietary, provided that if it is orally or visually disclosed (including Information conveyed to an answering machine, voice mail box or similar medium), the disclosing Party shall designate it as confidential or proprietary at the time of such disclosure.    A disclosing Party shall use commercially-reasonable efforts to mark or identify information subject to this confidentiality requirement, but the failure to mark or designate information as being confidential or proprietary will not waive the confidentiality where it is reasonably obvious, under the circumstances surrounding disclosure, that the Information is confidential or proprietary.  Neither Party shall be expected to mark or identify AT&T Customer Information, since any and all such AT&T Customer Information (such as name, address, telephone number, and other personal identifiers) shall automatically be deemed to be confidential and proprietary.  For greater certainty, Information provided by either Party to the other Party prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement in connection with the subject matter hereof, including any such Information provided under a separate non-disclosure agreement (howsoever denominated) is also subject to the terms of this Agreement.  Neither Party shall disclose Information under this Agreement that includes, in any form, any of the following: customer or employee personal information, credit card and credit related information, health or financial information, and/or authentication credentials.

 

b.              With respect to the Information of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall:

 

1.              hold all such Information in confidence with the same degree of care with which it protects its own confidential or proprietary Information, but with no less than reasonably prudent care;

 

2.              restrict disclosure of such Information solely to its employees, contractors, and agents (and also to its Affiliates’ employees, contractors, and agents) with a need to know such Information, advise such persons of their confidentiality obligations with respect thereto, and ensure that such persons are bound by obligations of confidentiality reasonably comparable to those imposed in this Agreement;

 

Proprietary and Confidential

This Agreement and information contained therein is not for use or disclosure outside of AT&T, its Affiliates, and third party representatives, and Supplier except under written agreement by the contracting parties.

3.              use such Information only as needed to perform its obligations (and, if AT&T is the receiving Party, to receive the benefits of the Work provided) under this Agreement;

 

4.              except as necessary under the immediately preceding clause (3), not copy, distribute, or otherwise use any such Information or allow anyone else to copy, distribute, or otherwise use such Information; and ensure that any and all copies bear the same notices or legends, if any, as the originals; and

 

5.              upon the disclosing Party’s request, promptly return, or destroy all or any requested portion of the Information, including tangible and electronic copies, notes, summaries, extracts, mail or other communications, and provide written certification within **** to the disclosing Party that such Information has been returned or destroyed, provided that with respect to archival or back-up copies of Information that reside on the receiving Party’s systems, the receiving Party shall be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this clause (5) if it makes reasonable efforts to expunge from such systems, or to permanently render irretrievable, such copies.

 

c.               Except for Customer Information, neither Party shall have any obligation to the other Party with respect to Information which:

 

1.              at the time of disclosure was already known to the receiving Party free of any obligation to keep it confidential (as evidenced by the receiving Party’s written records prepared prior to such disclosure);

 

2.              is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the receiving Party (such obligations ceasing at the time such Information becomes publicly known);

 

3.              is lawfully received from a third party, free of any obligation to keep it confidential;

 

4.              is independently developed by the receiving Party or a third party, as evidenced by the receiving Party’s written records, and where such development occurred without any direct or indirect use of or access to the Information received from the disclosing Party, or

 

5.              the disclosing Party consents in writing to be free of restriction.

 

d.              If a receiving Party is required to provide Information of a disclosing Party to any court or government agency pursuant to a written court order, subpoena, regulatory demand, request under the National Labor Relations Act (an “NLRA Request”), or process of law, the receiving Party must, unless prohibited by applicable law, first provide the disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such requirement and reasonable cooperation to the disclosing Party should it seek protective arrangements for the production of such Information.  The receiving Party will (i) take reasonable steps to limit any such provision of Information to the specific Information required by such court or agency, and (ii) continue to otherwise protect all Information disclosed in response to such order, subpoena, regulation, NLRA Request, or process of law.

 

e.               A receiving Party’s obligations with respect to any particular Information of a disclosing Party shall remain in effect, including after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, until such time as it qualifies under one of the exceptions set forth in clause (c) above.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Customer Information shall remain confidential indefinitely and shall never be disclosed or used without the prior written approval of an authorized representative of AT&T.

 

3.5 Invoicing and Payment

 

a.              Pursuant to the Section of the Master Agreement entitled “Delivery, Performance and Acceptance”, Supplier shall render an invoice, in arrears on a monthly basis promptly after performance of all Work required by the Order (unless the Order or an attached Appendix specifies that Supplier may submit invoices for progress payments prior to Acceptance, as provided below).  The invoice must specify in detail, if applicable, (i) quantities of each ordered item, (ii) unit prices of each ordered item, (iii) whether the item is taxable and the amount of tax per item, (iv) item and commodity codes, (v) total amounts for each item, (vi) total amount of applicable sales or use taxes, (vii) discounts, (viii) shipping charges, if any, (ix) total amount due,  (x) remit to address, (xi) Order number and line item sequence, (xii) description of Service, and (xiii) special service charges, if any.

d.              If an Order or an Appendix specifies that Supplier may submit invoices for progress payments prior to Acceptance, Supplier is permitted to submit invoices at the end of each month and AT&T shall make progress payments to Supplier sixty (60) days after receipt of such invoices.

 

3.6 IP Ownership Additional Representations & Warranties — Offshore

 

a.              Representations & Warranties.  Supplier represents and warrants that all development Work done for AT&T under this Contract shall be performed in a manner that will not materially conflict with provisions of the MSA to the extent that they grant to AT&T ownership of or licenses to Intellectual Property in the developed Work.  For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing includes Supplier’s representation and warranty that no Work will be done in any country having laws that interfere with, limit, diminish, or encumber rights of ownership or licenses granted by Supplier to AT&T under the terms of the MSA unless the Work is carried out in a way which does not materially interfere with or diminish such ownership rights or licenses of AT&T.  Country laws that prevent the complete assignment of all rights in intellectual property or valid waiver of, or agreement not to enforce, Moral Rights, or which require additional compensation be paid to individuals so that developments they create may be used by a business that employs or hires them, will be deemed to interfere with, limit, diminish and/or encumber rights of ownership or licenses granted to AT&T unless the Supplier puts in place lawful and effective arrangements to ensure that the ownership rights or licenses of AT&T are not materially interfered with, limited, diminished or encumbered or to the extent that such laws do not result in a material diminishing or encumbering with respect to the ownership rights or licenses of AT&T. Supplier represents and warrants that contractual agreements either are or will be in place between all of the following Parties, as applicable:

 

i.                  Supplier and other entities doing Work in furtherance of the Contract (such as between Supplier and Supplier’s Subcontractor(s));

 

ii.               Entities doing Work in furtherance of the Contract (such as between Supplier’s Subcontractor and its subcontractor(s)); and

 

iii.            Supplier or other entities doing Work in furtherance of the Contract, on the one hand, and their respective employees, on the other hand,

 

each of which agreements is or will be sufficient under applicable law (as in effect at the time of such agreement) to ensure that AT&T’s rights of ownership or licenses to intellectual property in developed Work granted under the MSA, if any, are not materially interfered with, diminished or encumbered, as set forth above.

 

Proprietary and Confidential

This Agreement and information contained therein is not for use or disclosure outside of AT&T, its Affiliates, and third party representatives, and Supplier except under written agreement by the contracting parties.

i.                  Do not require that any personally identifying information be used in connection with the developments, or any derivative works of or upgrades or updates thereto;

b.              AT&T shall have the right to withdraw its consent to the performance of Work at an Offshore Location (including any of the locations set forth in Appendix K) at any time by providing written notice to Supplier if AT&T reasonably determines that (i) there has been a breach of the terms of the Master Agreement and/or this Agreement with respect to an Offshore Location, (ii) a violation of any laws or regulations with respect to the Work performed at such Offshore Location, or (iii) the continuation of Work at said Offshore Location constitutes a risk to AT&T’s financial or security interests or could reasonably damage AT&T’s reputation, in which event Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such Work at a location within the United States, or at another approved Offshore Location, and the Parties shall amend this Agreement accordingly.  If the relocation of the Work results in a change in Supplier’s costs, then Supplier may propose modifications to the pricing terms if it reasonably determines that its costs will change due to such relocation.   If the Parties are unable to agree to such pricing terms, the Parties should escalate and resolve such issue under the Dispute Resolution Section of this Agreement.  .

e.               Any Services under this Agreement performed by Supplier or any Subcontractor in an Offshore Location without AT&T’s prior written consent shall be a material breach of this Agreement and, in addition to any other legal rights or remedies available to AT&T in law or in equity, AT&T may immediately Cancel and/or Terminate this Agreement without cost, liability or penalty to AT&T.

 

f.                When AT&T has granted consent for Services to be performed in an Offshore Location, Supplier shall remain fully responsible for compliance with any applicable foreign, federal, state or local law for such Services regardless of whether the Service is being performed by Supplier or a Subcontractor.  Nothing contained within this Agreement is intended to extend, nor does it extend, any rights or benefits to any Subcontractor, and no third party beneficiary right is intended or granted to any third party hereby.

 

g.               Supplier shall advise AT&T as early as possible prior to any change of Control of the Supplier or any of the entities performing the Work at the Offshore Location. “Control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies by one person or entity or a group of persons or entities acting in concert; provided, however, that the legal or beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, by persons or entities, including governmental entities, acting alone or in concert, of more than **** of the voting stock for the election of directors of a Party shall always be deemed Control.

outside of their physical location with appropriate safeguards, if such retention is deemed reasonably necessary by AT&T.

 

c.               AT&T Audits may be conducted **** (or more frequently if requested by governmental authorities who regulate AT&T’s business, if required by applicable Law or if auditors require follow-up access to complete audit inquiries or if an audit uncovers any problems or deficiencies), upon at least **** advance written notice (unless otherwise mandated by Law) provided that the time of such audit does not adversely affect Supplier’s operations or performance hereunder.  Supplier will cooperate, and will ensure that its Subcontractors cooperate, in the AT&T Audits, and will make the information reasonably required to conduct the AT&T Audits available on a timely basis.

 

d.              If, as a result of an AT&T Audit, AT&T determines that Supplier overcharged AT&T, then AT&T will notify Supplier in writing of the amount of such overcharge and, provided that Supplier agrees with such determination, Supplier will promptly pay to AT&T the amount of the overcharge. If any such AT&T Audit is agreed to by Supplier reveals an overcharge to AT&T during any **** period exceeding **** of all charges in the aggregate paid by AT&T hereunder during such period, then Supplier will reimburse AT&T for the cost of such AT&T Audit. If, as a result of an AT&T Audit, AT&T determines (and Supplier agrees) that Supplier has not performed or has unsatisfactorily performed any obligation under this Agreement, then Supplier will promptly remedy the non-performance or unsatisfactory performance.

 

e.               Supplier will maintain and retain the records set forth in Subsection (a) during the term of the Agreement and for **** thereafter (unless a discovery or legal hold request is made with respect to such records, in which case AT&T shall notify Supplier in writing of such request and Supplier shall retain such records until AT&T notifies Supplier that such discovery or legal hold request has expired). Supplier will provide AT&T, at AT&T’s request, with paper and electronic copies of documents and information reasonably necessary to verify Supplier’s compliance with this Agreement. Upon notification by AT&T of a discovery or legal hold request, Supplier shall fully cooperate with such request and immediately preserve any Supplier records covered by such request and promptly provide such Supplier records requested by AT&T related to the inquiry.

 

f.                Except as provided in Subsection (d), all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by AT&T in connection with an AT&T Audit shall be paid by AT&T. Supplier shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Supplier in connection with its obligations under this Section.  In the event that either Party requires that an audit be performed by an independent auditor, unless otherwise specified herein, the Party requesting such independent auditor will be responsible for the costs and expenses associated with the independent auditor.

 

g.               With respect to AT&T requests for audits or inspections of Supplier subcontractors, the following applies:

 

i)            If Supplier’s agreement with its applicable subcontractor permits an AT&T Audit, AT&T shall work through Supplier in connection with such audit. Supplier shall work with AT&T in facilitating the subcontractor’s cooperation for an expeditious and thorough audit or inspection.

 

ii)   If Supplier’s contract with its applicable subcontractor precludes AT&T from directly conducting an audit or inspection, Supplier shall use reasonable best efforts to enable AT&T to perform an audit of the subcontractor with Supplier coordinating the audit process. Failing those efforts, Supplier shall, upon AT&T’s request, conduct the audit or inspection on behalf of AT&T, subject to terms agreed to by Supplier and AT&T for the

 

subcontractor audit, such as areas to be audited, applicable fees, and the timeframe for reporting audit results to AT&T. If AT&T’s request for a Supplier audit or inspection arises from, in AT&T’s good faith opinion, materially and consistently deficient Service provided by the subcontractor under AT&T’s account, and the audit in both Parties’ opinions confirms such deficiencies, Supplier shall not charge AT&T a fee for the Supplier’s audit of its subcontractor.

 

3.11 Termination

have the right upon written notice to immediately terminate this Agreement and/or any such Order without any obligation or liability.  Failure of the non-breaching Party to immediately terminate this Agreement and/or any Order (x) following a breach which continues longer than such cure period, provided such breach has not been cured prior to the non-breaching Party’s providing notice of termination, or (y) following a breach that cannot be cured or that constitutes a violation of Laws shall not constitute a waiver of the non-breaching Party’s rights to terminate; provided, however, if the non-breaching Party does not exercise such termination right within **** of the date such right is triggered, the non-breaching Party shall waive its right to terminate with respect to such breach.

 

b.              Termination for Convenience in Whole - AT&T may at any time,  for its own convenience and without cause, by providing Supplier written notice of at least **** prior to the effective date of the termination, terminate this Agreement in whole without any further liability to Supplier except as set forth herein.  The termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of either Party to the other Party pursuant to any Order previously executed hereunder, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to such Order as if this Agreement were still in effect.  Likewise, termination or expiration of the Master Agreement shall not affect the obligations of either Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Order thereunder, and the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement shall continue to apply to this Agreement or any Order thereunder as if the Master Agreement were still in effect.  For the avoidance of doubt, (a) such termination of the Agreement shall not relieve AT&T of any obligations for any minimums under the Agreement and, (b) the provisions for termination of Services under an Order for convenience by AT&T shall be as set forth in each Order.

 

c.               In the event that all Orders under the Agreement are terminated, this Agreement will be deemed to be terminated as of the effective date of the termination of the last such Order.

 

d.              Termination of Related Orders - Whenever law or a provision of this Agreement permits AT&T to terminate any Order, AT&T may also terminate such other Orders as are related to the same transaction or series of transactions as the Order in question to the extent such other Orders cannot be performed if the original Order is terminated.

 

e.               Return of Information Obligations upon Expiration or Termination

a.              Except for any claim or action concerning the breach of a license right, validity, enforceability or infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark (including trade dress and service mark) or other intellectual property right, nor a breach (or alleged breach) of a Party’s obligations in the sections entitled “Information,” “Ownership of Work Product,” or “Publicity.” If the Parties are unable promptly to resolve a dispute informally or by mediation, the Party alleging a material breach (the “Moving Party”) may initiate arbitration by providing the other Party written notice of its intent to arbitrate; provided, however, nothing herein shall limit a Party’s right to seek appropriate injunctive relief.  If the Parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within **** of the Moving Party’s written notice to arbitrate, the Moving Party may request the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) to appoint an arbitrator.  The AAA shall select an arbitrator who can promptly proceed with and strive to conclude the arbitration as specified herein.  If a dispute is submitted to an arbitrator, it shall be finally resolved through binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois, according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except as modified herein.  The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall be deemed enforceable in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitration shall be heard by a single arbitrator who shall by training, education, or experience have knowledge of the general subject matter of this Agreement.  The arbitrator shall have only the power to award damages, injunctive relief and other remedies to the extent the same would be available in a court of law having jurisdiction of the matter, except that the arbitrator shall not have the power to vary the provisions of this Agreement.  The arbitrator shall promptly commence the arbitration proceeding with the intent to conclude the proceedings and issue a written decision stating in reasonable detail the basis for the award, which must be supported by law and substantial evidence, as promptly as the circumstances demand and permit, but generally no later than **** after the arbitrator’s appointment.  Each Party acknowledges that it is giving up judicial rights to a jury trial, discovery and most grounds for appeal under the foregoing provision.

b.              The prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing Party the reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs incurred by the prevailing Party in any arbitration.

c.               No provision of this Section shall limit the right of any Party to exercise its rights of setoff.  The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of either Party to resort to arbitration.

d.             During dispute resolution proceedings, including arbitration, the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement, except for those obligations directly related to the dispute at issue.

For each Channel supported on the Effective Date of this Agreement, AT&T shall pay Supplier an annual “Hosting Fee” **** of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term.

 

Supplier shall invoice each Hosting Fee monthly in arrears in **** by Channel in accordance with the applicable Order for such Channel.

 

Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement Supplier shall ensure that each Channel has the necessary hosting infrastructure and network capacity to support up to **** the Customer Order volume of the of the highest monthly volume of Customer Orders processed by such Channel during preceding the ****period (the “Capacity Expectation”).

 

In the event that AT&T requests that Supplier increase such Channel’s capacity by greater the Capacity Expectation, then the Parties will work together through the Change Control process documented in the applicable Order with respect to the increased equipment or infrastructure required for Supplier to acquire to increase such capacity and to mutually determine if any additional fees are applicable.  Any such increase in Customer Orders estimates provided by AT&T will follow the existing Technology Fees set forth in Table 1 (no change to the fees in Table 1).

4.0          Customer Care Support and Manual Transaction Processing Fees

 

4.1       The following rates shall be effective on the Effective Date of this Agreement.  AT&T shall pay Supplier for Customer Care Support and Manual Transaction Processing as follows:

 

The Parties shall mutually agree if Manual Transaction Processing or Customer Care Support for a given program (or element of a program) shall be invoiced either on (a) an “FTE Pricing” basis or (b) a fixed fee per Transaction, Inbound Call, Outbound Call or Chat, as applicable, “Transaction Price” (or “Transaction Pricing”) basis.  Both the FTE Pricing and the Transaction Price shall be determined using the Baseline Rate **** in Tables 4 and 5 below and using the methodology set forth below in this Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 and 4.3, respectively and adjusted pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4 below as applicable.  In the event that Transaction Pricing Basis is agreed upon, the Parties shall mutually agree on the makeup of each “Transaction Type” as well as the effective date for such billing (if not previously in place).  There may be multiple Transaction Types in a given program and each Transaction Type may have a unique Transaction Price.

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 ****.  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, Synchronoss 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 Agreement or the Order.  Upon any such modification, a modified Price Chart shall be supplied.

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 **** applicable to the program for each Overtime **** authorized by AT&T (or other amount as agreed upon by the Parties in writing).

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

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 **** applicable to the program in lieu of the applicable Transaction Price for Transactions or Contacts supported during such interval.

Appendix O — Supplier Information Security Requirements (SISR)

 

(AT&T Supplier Information Security Requirements (SISR) — v5.1, September, 2012)

 

The following AT&T Supplier Information Security Requirements (“Security Requirements”) apply to Supplier, its affiliates, its subcontractors, and each of their employees and/or temporary workers, contractors, vendors and/or agents who perform any Services for, on behalf of, and/or through AT&T and/or other obligations (for the purpose of this Appendix, each or all “Supplier”) that include any of the following:

 

****

 

Supplier represents and warrants that during the term of the Agreement and thereafter (as applicable with respect to Supplier’s obligations under the Survival of Obligations clause) Supplier is, and shall continue to be, in compliance with its obligations as set forth herein. In addition to all other remedies specified in the Agreement, Supplier agrees that AT&T shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief and be reimbursed the costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) by Supplier to enforce the obligations in these Security Requirements, including those that survive termination or expiration of the Agreement in accordance with the indemnification procedures and other limitations set forth in the Master Agreement. The provisions of this Appendix shall not be deemed to, and shall not, limit any more stringent security or other obligations of the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, these requirements apply to Supplier’s performance of Services from all locations, including primary, non-primary, remote, virtual, and/or telecommuting or telework locations, if any, used in connection with the Agreement.

Appendix Z - AT&T’s Vendor Expense Policy (Updated 1/11/2013)

 

1.0       General

 

The AT&T Vendor Expense Policy (VEP) provides guidelines to be followed by all vendors of AT&T in requesting reimbursement for business travel, meals and other business related expense.  Expenses outside this policy are not reimbursable.

 

The following principles apply to requests for expense reimbursement:

 

When spending money that is to be reimbursed, vendors must ensure that an AT&T Company (“Company”) receives proper value in return.

 

Personal expenditures reported for reimbursement should be billed exactly as they were incurred.  The use of averages for any type expenditure or combination of expenditures is not permitted except as specifically provided or documented in a contract.

 

Every vendor and AT&T employee who certifies or approves the correctness of any voucher or bill should have reasonable knowledge the expense and amounts are proper and reasonable.  In the absence of the adoption of such policy, or existing contractual agreements, these guidelines are considered the minimum requirements for requesting reimbursement of Company funds.

 

Deviations from this VEP must be approved in writing by the sponsoring Senior Manager or Officer of an AT&T Company.

 

Receipts will be requested and reviewed for any unusual or out of the ordinary expenses or where the approver cannot make a reasonable determination of the propriety of the invoice without a receipt.

2.0 Responsibilities

 

2.1 Vendor’s Responsibility

 

AT&T’s sponsoring managers will ensure that vendors have been covered on this policy prior to incurring any expenditure.  Vendors and their sponsoring AT&T managers are responsible for clarifying any questions or uncertainties they may have relative to reimbursable business expenses.

 

It is mandatory that financial transactions are recorded in a timely manner. Out-of-pocket business expense(s) for vendors that are not submitted for reimbursement within 90 calendar days from the date incurred are considered non-reimbursable. Company managers who are responsible for approving reimbursable expenses of vendors should ensure they are submitted and approved in a timely manner.

3.0 Travel Policy

 

Vendors must first consider the feasibility of using videoconferencing or teleconferencing as an alternative to travel.  Travel that is to be reimbursed by AT&T should be incurred only as necessary and pre-approved by AT&T (unless otherwise authorized in the agreement).

 

AT&T reserves the right to dispute any expense submittal and if not verifiable as valid may reject reimbursement.  Reimbursements will be made to vendor only after expenses are verified as valid.

 

3.1 Travel Authorization

 

Travel requiring overnight stays must be pre-approved by the sponsoring AT&T 3rd Level Manager or above and should be approved only if it is necessary for the vendor to travel to perform required work.

 

3.2 Travel Reservations

 

Vendors are expected to procure the most cost efficient travel arrangements, preferably equivalent to the AT&T discount rate.  AT&T does not reimburse for travel purchased with prepaid air passes.

 

3.3 Travel Expense Reimbursement

 

Vendor travel expenses incurred for company business are reimbursable only as specified in these guidelines. Travel expenses may include the following:

 

·                  Transportation (airfare or other commercial transportation, car rental, personal auto mileage, taxi and shuttle service)

·                  Meals and lodging

·                  Parking and tolls

·                  Tips/porter service (if necessary and reasonable)

·                  Vendors who stay with friends or relatives or other vendor employees while on a Company business trip will NOT be reimbursed for lodging, nor will they be reimbursed for expenditures made to reciprocate their hospitality by buying groceries, being host at a restaurant, etc.

 

The expense must be ordinary and necessary, not lavish or extravagant, in the judgment of the AT&T sponsoring management.  Any reimbursement request must be for actual expenditures only.

 

3.4 Air Travel Arrangements

 

Vendors must select lowest logical airfare (fares available in the market at the time of booking, preferably well in advance of trip to attain lowest possible airfare). Vendors shall book coach class fares for all travel at all times. First class bookings are not reimbursable. Vendors can request business class when a single segment of flight time (“in air time” excluding stops, layovers and ground time) is greater than 8 hours providing the relevant manager pre-approves.

 

3.5 Hotel Arrangements

 

AT&T has established Market-Based Room Rate Guidelines for vendors to reference when making hotel reservations in the United States (see Addendum A).  U.S. vendors traveling outside the U.S. should reference the

 

GSA, Government Per Diem as a guide: http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp. Non-US vendors may use these dollar per diems as a guide, but any locally specified per diems will take precedence. Vendors

 

are expected to abide by these guidelines when making hotel arrangements or use specified AT&T preferred hotels/maximum location rates or reasonably priced hotels outside of the U.S... The AT&T vendor

 

manager can advise which hotel/max rate to use if there is a hotel in the location concerned. AT&T will only reimburse vendors up to the established room rate guideline/AT&T preferred hotel rate in each market, or for actual hotel lodging charges incurred, whichever is less.

 

There must be a strong business justification for incurring any cost for internet access, and a request for reimbursement must be accompanied by a detailed explanation regarding reason for charge.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

 

SG021306.S.025

 

Note: Vendors must indicate the number of room nights on the transaction line when invoicing for reimbursement of hotel expenses.  Copies of all hotel bills must be made available for any invoice containing lodging charges.

 

3.6 Ground Transportation

 

While away from their home location overnight, vendors are expected to utilize rapid transit or local shuttle service.  If the hotel provides a complimentary shuttle, vendors are to use this service before paying for transportation.  If complimentary service is not provided a taxi or other local transportation is reimbursable as a business expense.  Tips provided to taxi drivers cannot exceed 15% of the value of the total fare.

 

A rental car is appropriate when the anticipated business cost is less than that of other available public transportation.  Except to the extent necessary to accommodate several travelers and/or luggage requirements, vendors will not be reimbursed for automobile rentals other than economy or mid-sized/intermediate models.

 

“Loss Damage Waiver” and “Extended Liability Coverage” are not considered reimbursable in the US. Prepaid fuel or refueling charges at the time of return are not reimbursable. Rental cars should be refueled before returning to the rental company, since gas purchased through the rental company carries an expensive refueling service charge.

 

3.7 Use of Personal Vehicle

 

When use of personal vehicle is required, the current locally approved mileage rate for miles driven for the business portion of the trip should be the maximum used to determine the amount to be reimbursed.

 

3.8 Parking

 

If airport parking is necessary, vendors must use long term parking facilities.  Additional costs for short term, valet or covered parking are not reimbursable.

 

3.9 Entertainment

 

Entertainment expense is not reimbursable to vendors.  Entertainment includes meal expense involving AT&T personnel, golf fees, tickets to events and related incidental expenses.  Hotel charges for a pay-per-view movie, individual sightseeing tours, or other individual activities (i.e., golf, sporting event, movie, etc.) are not reimbursable.

 

3.10 Laundry and Cleaning

 

Reasonable laundry charges during business trips of seven or more consecutive nights are reimbursable based on actual expenses incurred.

 

3.11 Communications

 

·                  The actual cost of landline telephone calls for AT&T business is reimbursable.  The use of AT&T products is required when available.

 

·                  AT&T will not reimburse vendors for cell phone bills unless approved under the contract.  With prior consent of the sponsoring AT&T Senior Manager, only individual calls that exceed a vendor’s rate plan that are necessary to conduct business for AT&T may be reimbursed.

 

·                  Charges for high speed internet access are not reimbursable unless specifically approved in the contract.

3.12 Business Meals (Travel and Non-Travel)

 

Vendors are expected to find reasonably priced dining alternatives. As a general rule, vendors are expected to spend USD $42.00 or less per day (or local currency equivalent) inclusive of tax and gratuity or to abide by the legally specified per diem applicable in the Vendor’s country.  This includes all meals, beverages and refreshments purchased during the day.  Requests for reimbursement should break out the amount for meals and list the related number of travel days.  If breakfast is offered as part of the hotel accommodation rate, no additional reimbursement will be permitted for breakfast. Vendors may not submit expenses to cover meals or expenses for an AT&T employee, whether in a home location or on official travel.

 

AT&T managers authorizing invoices will be held accountable for ensuring that vendors are following this policy and are spending Company funds economically.

 

3.13 Flowers, Greeting Cards, Gifts and Incentive Awards

 

The cost of gifts, flowers, birthday lunches, or greeting cards is considered a personal expense and is not reimbursable.  For example, vendors making a donation or providing a gift for a fund-raiser for AT&T may not submit such an expense to AT&T for reimbursement.

 

3.14 Loss or Damage to Personal Property

 

The Company assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to a vendor’s personal property during business functions or hours.

 

3.15 Publications

 

Subscriptions to or purchases of magazines, newspapers and other publications are not reimbursable.

AT&T U.S. 2013 Hotel Room Rate Only Guidelines

 

This Chart applies to the U.S. locations. For Travel outside of the U.S., travelers should exercise prudent judgment and select reasonably priced hotels, based on local market conditions.  Employees traveling outside the U.S. should reference the GSA, Government Per Diems as a guide. http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp

 

***U.S. Cities not listed on this Hotel Room Rate Only Guideline Matrix, default to $110.00 nightly rate.  On occasion an AT&T Preferred Property may exceed the rate guideline for a season (s) or particular city, but has been added due to demand within the market.  However, if an alternate Preferred Property within the guideline is offered it should be accepted when available.

You may select the Preferred Property that is over the Guideline if it is the option that is available,
selecting the appropriate reason code.

c.               In the event AT&T elects for AT&T or other third party to perform such Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and Chats for **** Supplier will provide AT&T or its designated third party employees and contractors who will be performing such Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and Chats access to the Workflow Manager, Call Tracker, and Reporting Platform 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 **** within **** after AT&T notifies Supplier.  In addition, each employee or contractor of AT&T or such third party who will access the ASP Solution or related Supplier system(s) shall agree in writing to comply with Supplier’s information security requirements.  Supplier will work with AT&T to ensure that the allocations of Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and Chats to be processed by Supplier and to be processed by AT&T for **** are implemented as mutually agreed by the Parties in accordance with this Order.  AT&T shall be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third parties granted access to the ASP Solution.

6.4                   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 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.              Within ****  (“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 (ie: off shore location) or training or of Agents) and the parties shall document such changes in the form of a written amendment to this 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 ****.

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 average costs per Contact or Transaction and agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld by either Party.  In the event that the Parties are unable to agree, the issue shall be resolved in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parties are unable to agree on or have not agreed to modifications to the pricing, the requirements or processes pertaining to remaining Contacts or Transactions, AT&T may move Customer Care Support in excess of the Threshold Percentage from Supplier under Section “6.4” above.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parties agree to a price increase or changes to process, then (a) any such price increase or changes to process shall only be effective when the Threshold Percentage is exceeded and shall not apply to Services retained by Supplier if the Threshold Percentage is not exceeded; and (b) the provision of Sections “6.3” and “6.4” above shall continue to apply to any Customer Care Support retained by Supplier; and (c) any such increase in pricing or changes to process shall be effective on the date that Customer Care Support is moved from Supplier.

 

6.5                   Termination for Convenience of Operations Management Support Services — During the Initial Term or Renewal Term, AT&T may at any time, for its own convenience and without cause, by providing Supplier written notice of at least **** prior to the effective date of the termination, terminate Supplier’s Operations Management Support Services, provided under this Order in whole or in part.  In the event AT&T terminates for convenience Supplier’s Operations Management Support Services under this Order, AT&T shall pay Supplier, as Supplier’s sole and exclusive remedy for detriment resulting from AT&T’s termination, the price of such Services performed through the date of termination.

 

6.6                   Failure to Meet Service Level Performance Metrics.  In the event that Supplier fails to meet or exceed (a) the same Service Level Performance Metric (as defined in Appendix B) for **** in any **** or **** in any ****, or (b)  **** or more Service Level Performance Metric’s for **** in any **** or **** in any ****, AT&T may elect to have AT&T or its designated third party perform such Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and

6.9                   Wind Down and Transitioning.

 

a.              The Parties acknowledge that upon the termination or expiration of the 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 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 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 this Order, Supplier shall not be required, pursuant to this Section6.9 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.

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 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 rule.  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 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 prior **** 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.

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, Synchronoss may charge for, in addition to the Technology Fee and any other fees due under the 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 Synchronoss 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 average costs per Contact or Transaction and agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld by either Party. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree, the issue shall be resolved in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parties are unable to agree on or have not agreed to modifications to the pricing, the requirements or processes pertaining to remaining Contacts or Transactions, AT&T may move Customer Care Support in excess of the Threshold Percentage from Supplier under Section “6.4” above.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parties agree to a price increase or changes to process, then (a) any such price increase or changes to process shall only be effective when the Threshold Percentage is exceeded and shall not apply to Services retained by Supplier if the Threshold Percentage is not exceeded; and (b) the provision of Sections “6.3” and “6.4” above shall continue to apply to any Customer Care Support retained by Supplier; and (c) any such increase in pricing or changes to process shall be effective on the date that Customer Care Support is moved from Supplier.

 

6.5                   Termination for Convenience of Operations Management Support Services — During the Initial Term or Renewal Term, AT&T may at any time, for its own convenience and without cause, by providing Supplier written notice of at least **** prior to the effective date of the termination, terminate Supplier’s Operations Management Support Services, provided under this Order in whole or in part.  In the event AT&T terminates for convenience Supplier’s Operations Management Support Services under this Order, AT&T shall pay Supplier, as Supplier’s sole and exclusive remedy for detriment resulting from AT&T’s termination, the price of such Services performed through the date of termination.

6.7                   In the event that all Work or Services under this Order are terminated per Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 above, this Order will be deemed to be terminated by AT&T as of the effective date of the termination of the last such Work or Services under this Order.

 

6.8                   Return of Information Obligations upon Expiration or Termination

 

Each Party shall, except as required under law or this Order, upon expiration or termination of this Order and after all Wind Down and Transition efforts have concluded, promptly return all papers, materials, and property of the other Party.

 

6.9                   Wind Down and Transitioning.

 

a.              The Parties acknowledge that upon the termination or expiration of the 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 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 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:

the responsibility to produce reports from the Order Gateway, or request such reports from Supplier, to measure the results and determine if this SLA Key Performance Indicator is met. AT&T and Supplier shall mutually agree on the format of such reports.  Measurement will be based on **** for a given Customer Order.  Supplier will comply with AT&T’s reasonable requests for data in accordance with the measurement.

 

“Normal Transaction Flow” means:

 

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

b.              Within **** (“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 (ie: off shore location) or training or of Agents) and the Parties shall document such changes in the form of a written amendment to this 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, Synchronoss may charge for, in addition to the Technology Fee and any other fees due under the 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 Synchronoss 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 average costs per Contact or Transaction and agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld by either Party. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree, the issue shall be resolved in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parties are unable to agree on or have not agreed to modifications to the pricing, the requirements or processes pertaining to remaining Contacts or Transactions, AT&T may move Customer Care Support in excess of the Threshold Percentage from Supplier under Section “6.4” above.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parties agree to a price increase or changes to process, then (a) any such price increase or changes to process shall only be effective when the Threshold Percentage is exceeded and shall not apply to Services retained by Supplier if the Threshold Percentage is not exceeded; and (b) the provision of Sections “6.3” and “6.4” above shall continue to apply to any Customer Care

 

Support retained by Supplier; and (c) any such increase in pricing or changes to process shall be effective on the date that Customer Care Support is moved from Supplier.

 

6.5                   Termination for Convenience of Operations Management Support Services — During the Initial Term or Renewal Term, AT&T may at any time, for its own convenience and without cause, by providing Supplier written notice of at least **** prior to the effective date of the termination, terminate Supplier’s Operations Management Support Services, provided under this Order in whole or in part.  In the event AT&T terminates for convenience Supplier’s Operations Management Support Services under this Order, AT&T shall pay Supplier, as Supplier’s sole and exclusive remedy for detriment resulting from AT&T’s termination, the price of such Services performed through the date of termination.

 

6.6                   Failure to Meet Service Level Performance Metrics.  In the event that Supplier fails to meet or exceed (a) the same Service Level Performance Metric (as defined in Appendix B) for **** in any **** or **** in any ****, or (b)  **** or more Service Level Performance Metric’s for **** in any **** or **** in any ****, AT&T may elect to have AT&T or its designated third party perform such Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and Chats for **** that failed such requirement in (a) or (b) above resulting in more than the Threshold Percentage of Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and/or Chats (up to ****) of the Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and/or

6.7                   In the event that all Work or Services under this Order are terminated per Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 above, this Order will be deemed to be terminated by AT&T as of the effective date of the termination of the last such Work or Services under this Order.

 

6.8                   Return of Information Obligations upon Expiration or Termination

 

Each Party shall, except as required under law or this Order, upon expiration or termination of this Order and after all Wind Down and Transition efforts have concluded, promptly return all papers, materials, and property of the other Party.

 

6.9                   Wind Down and Transitioning.

 

a.              The Parties acknowledge that upon the termination or expiration of the 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 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 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 this 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.

3.              Order Gateway Performance Service Level Key Perfromance Indicators (“OG SLA”)

 

Order Gateway under a Normal Transaction Flow (as described below) will respond to **** of the Customer Orders for a Channel within **** of its receipt by the Order Gateway in any given **** provided such Customer Orders is in the documented format and has been submitted by AT&T per the published process documentation and successfully pass Supplier’s Order Gateway validations (as described below).  AT&T will have the responsibility to produce reports from the Order Gateway, or request such reports from Supplier, to measure the results and determine if this SLA Key Performance Indicator is met. AT&T and Supplier shall mutually agree on the format of such reports.  Measurement will be based on **** for a given Customer Order.  Supplier will comply with AT&T’s reasonable requests for data in accordance with the measurement.

 

“Normal Transaction Flow” means:

 

a.              Volumes and distributions are within the expected capacity thresholds for ASP Solution as identified in the 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 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 (i.e., 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 ****.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

 

Order No. SG021306.S.025.S.003

 

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 **** 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.

b.              Within **** (“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 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, ****.

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, Synchronoss may charge for, in addition to the Technology Fee and any other fees due under the 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 Synchronoss 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 average costs per Contact or Transaction and agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld by either Party.  In the event that the Parties are unable to agree, the issue shall be resolved in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Agreement.   For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parties are unable to agree on or have not agreed to modifications to the pricing, the requirements or processes pertaining to remaining Contacts or Transactions, AT&T may move Customer Care Support in excess of the Threshold Percentage from Supplier under Section “6.4” above.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Parties agree to a price increase or changes to process, then (a) any such price increase or changes to process shall only be effective when the Threshold Percentage is exceeded and shall not apply to Services retained by Supplier if the Threshold Percentage is not exceeded; and (b) the provision of Sections “6.3” and “6.4” above shall continue to apply to any Customer Care Support retained by Supplier; and (c) any such increase in pricing or changes to process shall be effective on the date that Customer Care Support is moved from Supplier.

 

6.5                   Termination for Convenience of Operations Management Support Services — During the Initial Term or Renewal Term, AT&T may at any time, for its own convenience and without cause, by providing Supplier written notice of at least **** prior to the effective date of the termination, terminate Supplier’s Operations Management Support Services, provided under this Order in whole or in part.  In the event AT&T terminates for convenience Supplier’s Operations Management Support Services under this Order, AT&T shall pay Supplier, as Supplier’s sole and exclusive remedy for detriment resulting from AT&T’s termination, the price of such Services performed through the date of termination.

 

6.6                   Failure to Meet Service Level Performance Metrics.  In the event that Supplier fails to meet or exceed (a) the same Service Level Performance Metric (as defined in Appendix B) for **** in any ****  or **** in any ****, or (b)  **** or more Service Level Performance Metric’s for **** in any **** or **** in any ****, AT&T may elect to have AT&T or its designated third party perform such Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and Chats for **** that failed such requirement in (a) or (b) above resulting in more than the Threshold Percentage of Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and/or Chats (up to ****) of the Transactions requiring Manual Transaction Processing, Inbound Calls, Outbound Calls and/or Chats processed.  For purposes of this Order, Service Level Performance Metrics for **** shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Appendix B specific to ****.

6.7                   In the event that all Work or Services under this Order are terminated per Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 above, this Order will be deemed to be terminated by AT&T as of the effective date of the termination of the last such Work or Services under this Order.

 

6.8                   Return of Information Obligations upon Expiration or Termination

 

Each Party shall, except as required under law or this Order, upon expiration or termination of this Order and after all Wind Down and Transition efforts have concluded, promptly return all papers, materials, and property of the other Party.

 

6.9                   Wind Down and Transitioning.

 

a.              The Parties acknowledge that upon the termination or expiration of the 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 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 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 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.

the results and determine if this SLA Key Performance Indicator is met. AT&T and Supplier shall mutually agree on the format of such reports.  Measurement will be based on **** for a given Customer Order.  Supplier will comply with AT&T’s reasonable requests for data in accordance with the measurement.

 

“Normal Transaction Flow” means:

 

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