7.1 | For each of the *** Channels initially governed under this Contract *** and ***, AT&T or its designated third party, at its sole discretion, may elect to perform Manual Processing for up to **% (the “Initial Manual Processing Percentage”) of the Manual Processing for Transactions processed through the Order Gateway for such Channel during a ***. In the event AT&T wants to make such election prior to the Effective Date, AT&T shall notify STI in writing on or before the date this Contract is executed, by the later of AT&T and STI, the actual percentage of Manual Processing it intends to assume. In the event AT&T wants to make such election after the Effective Date, AT&T shall notify STI via the forecasting process identified in Attachments A-1 and A-2 the actual percentage of Manual Processing it intends to assume. In the event AT&T elects for AT&T or such third party to provide such Manual Processing for such Channel, STI will provide AT&T, or third party employees and contractors who will be performing such Manual Processing access to the ASP Solution and related STI system(s) access solely to perform such Manual Processing for such Channel *** after AT&T notifies STI; provided, however, if AT&T makes such election on or before the date this Contract is executed by the later of AT&T or STI, STI will provide such access on *** after the date this Contract is executed by the later of AT&T and STI. In addition, each employee or contractor of AT&T or such third party who will access the ASP Solution or related STI system(s) shall agree in writing to comply with STI’s information security requirements. In the event AT&T makes such |
Confidential Treatment Requested | 8 |
election, STI will work with AT&T to ensure that the agreed upon allocations for such Channel(s) are implemented per this Contract. |
In the event AT&T makes such election and exceeds the percentage of Manual Processing set forth above in any ***, STI will not penalize AT&T for any such overage and, in such case, the parties will promptly upon determining such overage, meet and negotiate in good faith a process to move toward the then applicable percentage of Manual Processing AT&T should be handling pursuant to the terms of this OMC Contract. |
7.2 | In the event that STI fails to achieve (i) the same Manual Processing SLA (as defined below) for any Channel in any *** or ***, or (ii) two (2) or more Manual Processing SLA’s for a Channel in any *** or ***, AT&T may elect to have AT&T or its designated third party perform Manual Processing for such Channel for more than the Initial Manual Processing Percentage (up to ***%) of the Transactions processed through the ASP Solution. For purposes of this Agreement, Manual Processing SLA for each Channel shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the SLA Attachment B specific to such Channel. |
7.3 | In the event that AT&T elects to perform the Manual Processing itself or through a third party for a Channel in excess of the Initial Manual Processing Percentage and STI does not have the appropriate skill sets or such bid is at a lower cost than STI, STI shall have the opportunity to review the bid (subject to any non-disclosure issues) and determine if STI meets the same cost and/or skill set requirements as such bid. Promptly after receiving such bid, AT&T shall provide STI with the necessary information relating to such bid (including pricing and resources) for STI 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. STI shall take information provided by AT&T at face value in connection with such determination. In connection with such mutual evaluation, the parties shall determine whether such bid and STI’s current resources for such Channel: |
Confidential Treatment Requested | 9 |
Within *** (“Evaluation Period”) of receiving the necessary information from AT&T, STI shall provide written notice to AT&T whether it will (i) perform Manual Processing for such Channel on the same terms as set forth in such bid immediately upon completion of such evaluation within Evaluation Period, (ii) allow AT&T or such third party to assume such Manual Processing for such Channel as provided in such bid, or (iii) escalate to its respective executives in accordance with the provision below. In the event that STI does not provide written notice to AT&T within such ***, STI will be required to immediately perform such Manual Processing for such Channel on the same terms as set forth in such bid. |
In the event that STI and AT&T do not agree on the results of such evaluation, the President of STI and an Officer of the respective division of AT&T shall meet to resolve such dispute within *** of the conclusion of the Evaluation Period. In the event that such executives cannot resolve such dispute, STI shall provide the third party which provided such bid or AT&T internal resources the same access to perform such Manual Processing for such Channel as provided in Section 7.1 above. |
7.4 | In the event that AT&T is entitled to increase the amount of its Manual Processing in accordance with Section 7.2 or 7.3 above, the parties shall meet promptly to agree on a plan to initiate the performance of such services by AT&T or its designated third party provider to complete such transition within *** of the Evaluation Period unless mutually agree to a longer or shorter period. AT&T will be responsible for formally communicating to STI the percentage allocation they are ultimately targeting to achieve in connection with the transition of such Manual Processing. STI will then work with AT&T to implement the identified allocation percentage in ***. (e.g., ***). STI shall provide reasonable assistance to AT&T in connection with such transfer provided at no incremental fee except that if any professional services for AT&T or such designated provider are required, STI shall provide such reasonable professional services at STI’s rates provided herein. Any transition to AT&T or third party of Manual Processing in accordance with Section 7.2 or 7.3 above shall have no effect on the Technology Fees or Hosting Fee provided below. |
In the event that STI fails to achieve (i) the same Hosting SLA (as defined below) for any Channel in any (a) *** or (b) *** or (ii) *** Hosting SLA’s for any Channel in any (a) *** or (b) ***, AT&T may elect to provide the hosting services (at its sole cost) required to be provided by STI in accordance with Section 5.1 above for such Channel, and in the event AT&T provides such hosting services for such Channel, AT&T shall no longer be required to pay any Hosting Fee (as provided in Section 9.2 below) for such Channel thereafter. For purposes of this |

Agreement, Hosting SLA for each Channel shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the SLA Attachment B specific to such Channel. |

Any such increase in transaction estimates provided by AT&T will follow the existing Technology Fees set forth in Table 9.1 above without incremental cost to AT&T. |
9.3 | IT Professional Services Fee |
In each year of the Initial Term, AT&T shall pay to STI *** for *** of IT professional services annually to be performed by STI at AT&T’s sole discretion and direction, payable in equal monthly installments. STI agrees that projects will be scoped in a manner consistent with professional industry practices, and that projects with equivalent scope will be priced comparably. STI shall provide detailed documentation of proposed and actual utilization of hours as agreed by the parties. In the event, AT&T requests that STI provide more than *** of IT professional services in any year, STI shall charge AT&T a fee of *** for such IT professional services; provided, however, in the event that in any prior year, STI did not provide at least *** of IT professional services, AT&T shall be able to utilize such unused hours in later years for any IT professional services during the Initial Term prior to STI charging AT&T for any hours in excess of *** of IT professional services for such year; provided in no event shall AT&T be entitled to use any such hours ***. In the event that AT&T exercises its right to renew the Contract for additional one (1) year terms, AT&T shall notify STI at least *** prior to the end of the Initial Term or such renewal term whether it wishes to renew its commitment of IT professional services of ***. In the event that AT&T does not exercise such option, the parties shall work together to negotiate in good faith new rates for such IT professional services, which rate shall not exceed ***. In no event shall STI use any third party located outside the United States for any IT professional services without AT&T’s prior written consent. |
