Managed Services Statement of Work
No. 1
This Managed Services Statement of Work No. 1 (this “MSSOW”) is effective as of October 1, 2014 (the “Commencement Date”) and is entered into pursuant to and under the terms of that certain October 1, 2014, Master Statement of Work for Managed Services (“MSOWMS”) between USCC Services, LLC (“USCC”) and Amdocs Software Systems Limited (“Amdocs,” “Consultant” or “Provider”). All terms and conditions of the MSOWMS shall apply to this MSSOW, provided that in the event of a conflict between the terms of the MSOWMS and this MSSOW, this MSSOW shall control except with respect to Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) of the MSOWMS.
1. Scope of Services
1.1 Provider shall perform the tasks and activities as described herein inclusive of attachments to this MSSOW (all collectively referred herein as the “Services”).
1.2 The Services to be provided hereunder consist of the following four major functional areas (each a “Service Tower”):
(a) Tier 2 Front-End and Back-End (as described in Section 6 of this MSSOW)
(b) Tier 3/Tier 4 Support (as described in Section 7 of this MSSOW)
(c) Billing Operations (as described in Section 8 of this MSSOW)
(d) Infrastructure Support (as described in Section 9 of this MSSOW)
1.3 In addition, as part of the Services, Provider shall assign a Customer Operations Manager (the “COM”) to oversee the Service Towers and to be USCC’s main focal point for any questions and/or issues related to the Service Towers. The COM’s role is further described in Section 10 of this MSSOW.
1.4 In performing the Services, Provider shall comply with all of USCC’s Policies (as specified in Appendix C to the MSOWMS).
1.5 Provider Personnel shall be available on a [***] per day basis as required to perform the Services in adherence with the SLAs and KPIs identified in Schedule B to the MSOWMS. Provider shall monitor Provider’s performance relative to the SLAs and KPIs and provide to USCC reports indicating Provider’s performance against the SLAs and KPIs (including exception details) as described in Schedule B to the MSOWMS.
1.6 Once each calendar quarter, Provider will export into USCC’s SharePoint the USCC-specific data from Provider’s knowledge base for each of the Service Towers.
1.7 In connection with the performance of the Services hereunder, Provider will cooperate with USCC Third-Party Contractors whose systems or applications interface with the B/OSS Solution with respect to such interfaces. Provider communications with USCC Third-Party Contractors will follow USCC-provided procedures, processes and guidelines including escalation requirements. Provider will communicate directly with such third parties, except for those specific third parties identified by USCC as ones with whom USCC retains the communication interface for some period of time. USCC expects to phase in certain third-party communication interfaces with Provider over time to minimize transition risk. At any time and from time to time, USCC may
1
Information marked with “[***]” has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
modify the status of the communication interface with any third party. Until such time as USCC may transition each communications interface to Provider, Provider will communicate with USCC with respect to such third parties with whom USCC has retained the communication interface. In all cases (regardless of whether Provider communicates directly with such third parties or USCC requires Provider to communicate indirectly with such third parties through USCC as set forth herein), Provider will work with such third parties in accordance with USCC-specified procedures, processes and guidelines to timely and cooperatively investigate and resolve any inbound or outbound file transfer or other interoperability Issues, Incidents or Problems. Provider will escalate to USCC any issues related to cooperation or communication between Provider and any USCC Third-Party Contractor, but in no event will Provider be responsible for the performance of any USCC Third-Party Contractor.
1.8 Provider will deliver the Deliverables identified in Annex H to this MSSOW. With respect to Deliverables identified as “Reports” in such Annex:
(a) The number, name, frequency and nature of such Deliverables can be reduced, modified, increased and/or substituted at any time upon the parties’ written agreement.
(b) USCC shall be deemed to have Accepted the templates of all such Deliverables to the extent that such Deliverables have been provided to USCC by Provider prior to the Commencement Date.
(c) USCC shall be deemed to have Accepted the template of each such Deliverable, the template of which is the same as the template of the applicable report that was provided to USCC by a Third-Party Contractor prior to the Commencement Date.
(d) USCC shall be deemed to have Accepted the template of each such Deliverable, the template of which is the same as the template of the applicable report that was generated by USCC for itself prior to the Commencement Date.
(e) For each such Deliverable in such Annex as of the Commencement Date to which none of the preceding clauses (b) through (d) apply, during the [***]-day period commencing on the Commencement Date, Amdocs shall submit to USCC a template for each such Deliverable, and USCC shall have [***] days after receipt of each such template to Accept such template or to provide to Amdocs revisions to such template, and Amdocs shall revise each template accordingly until Accepted by USCC acting reasonably. For the avoidance of doubt, Amdocs shall be obligated to deliver each such Deliverable only after its respective template is Accepted by USCC.
(f) For each such Deliverable that is added to such Annex after the Commencement Date, Amdocs shall submit to USCC a template for such Deliverable, and USCC shall have [***] days after receipt of such template to Accept such template or to provide to Amdocs revisions to such template, and Amdocs shall revise such template accordingly until Accepted by USCC acting reasonably. For the avoidance of doubt, Amdocs shall be obligated to deliver each such Deliverable only after its respective template is Accepted by USCC.
(g) Recurring versions of such Deliverables for which the applicable template has been Accepted or deemed Accepted under any of the preceding clauses (b) through (f) in this Section shall not be subject to Acceptance by USCC; provided that if USCC identifies any errors or other Issues or problems with such Deliverables, the correction of such errors or other Issues shall be subject to the Incident Management process set forth in Appendix C to the MSOWMS.

If not earlier terminated, the Expiration Date shall be automatically extended five times for one year each time (i.e., a total of five one-year extensions) unless on or before April 1, 2019, or April 1 of the same calendar year thereafter as the then-current Expiration Date, USCC notifies Amdocs in writing of USCC’s intent not to so extend the Term, in which case the Term will expire on the then-current Expiration Date. Except to the extent modified by this Section, the terms and conditions (including the Fees set forth in Annex C to this MSSOW) during each such one-year extension of the Term shall be the same as from October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019.
2.2 The parties’ rights to terminate this MSSOW prior to the Expiration Date include those set forth in Section 11 of the MSOWMS.

5. Privacy, Data Security and Regulatory Process and Control Requirements
5.1 Provider, while executing the Services, shall comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), ISO 27001 and the then-current version of PCI-DSS.
5.2 Provider shall comply with the operational processes listed in Appendix 5 to this MSSOW (each an “Operational Process”) while performing the Services. The processes listed in Appendix 5 to this MSSOW include the SOX compliance controls for which Provider is responsible and which are addressed in the SOC 1 Type II reporting described in Section 5.4 of this MSSOW.
(a) After the Commencement Date, if USCC requires revisions or additions to any of the process mapping flows and controls related to SOX compliance contained in the Operational Processes in order to remain SOX compliant, then USCC shall notify Provider of such required revisions and/or additions (each such notice, a “Requirements Notice”), and the parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to complete such revisions and additions within [***] days after Provider’s receipt of the applicable Requirements Notice (or if not completed within such [***]-day period, then as soon as possible thereafter). Subject to the foregoing, if Provider disputes whether such revisions and/or additions are necessary for USCC’s SOX compliance, then within ten Business Days after Provider’s receipt of the applicable Requirements Notice, Provider shall notify USCC that Provider is disputing whether such revisions and additions are necessary for USCC’s SOX compliance, and such notice shall specify Provider’s fees (using the manpower rates set forth in Schedule C of the MSOWMS) to complete such revisions and additions as well as Provider’s intention to seek payment therefor from USCC. Such dispute shall be subject to the informal dispute resolution process set forth in Section 2 of Schedule D to the MSOWMS; provided, however, that solely for such purpose, the last sentence of Section 2.2(b)(iv) of Schedule D to the MSOWMS shall be deemed to be replaced with the following:
If, after any such resolution of a Level 4 Dispute by USCC’s Vice President of Information Technology, Provider notifies USCC that the Dispute is not resolved to Provider’s satisfaction, then within [***] Business Days after such written notice, such Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 11.17(b) of the Agreement, except that (A) such arbitration shall be conducted by the arbitrator agreed upon by the
4
Information marked with “[***]” has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
parties pursuant to Section 3.7 of this Schedule D to the MSOWMS; (B) the arbitrator shall render a decision regarding the disposition of such Dispute within [***] Business Days after such Dispute is submitted to arbitration, during which time the parties shall have the opportunity to present their positions to the arbitrator who shall take into consideration: (I) USCC’s past compliance experience (whether unique to USCC or otherwise) as well as advice received by USCC from its independent and internal auditors and other relevant subject matter experts, and (II) solely to the extent that Provider can demonstrate that Provider presented the following to USCC in writing prior to USCC submitting such Dispute to arbitration: alternative methods to achieve compliance other than those contained in the Requirements Notice as well as advice received by Provider from Provider’s independent and internal auditors and other relevant subject matter experts; and (C) the arbitrator shall also determine whether Provider failed to act reasonably in contesting such resolution by USCC’s Vice President of Information Technology and whether USCC’s Vice President of Information Technology acted reasonably in determining such resolution. If the arbitrator determines that either party failed to act reasonably in contesting or determining such resolution, as applicable, then the party determined to have acted unreasonably shall bear the entire cost of the arbitration including, without limitation, the other party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
For the avoidance of doubt, USCC shall only be required to pay Provider’s fees to complete such revisions and additions upon a finding that such revisions and additions were not necessary for USCC’s SOX compliance.
(b) Notwithstanding the other portions of this Section 5.2 of this MSSOW, the parties acknowledge that, as of the Commencement Date, the process mapping flows and the controls for certain Operational Processes listed in Appendix 5 to this MSSOW are not complete (each a “WIP OP”). Provider and USCC will perform the actions described in the plan set forth in Section 2.4 of Appendix 5 to this MSSOW in accordance with the schedule of dates specified in such plan in order to finalize the process mapping flows and controls for the WIP OPs.
5.3 Provider will maintain a central repository of all relevant process and control documentation set forth in Appendix 5 to this MSSOW applicable to Provider in providing the Services. Documents in such repository will serve as the “documents of record” for such processes and controls managed under this MSSOW. Such repository will be a segregated directory accessible only by USCC resources (including impacted business stakeholders) and Provider Personnel with a need to know in connection with the Services. Each party will identify and notify the other party of potential process or control changes in the interaction by Provider with USCC that, to its knowledge, may impact USCC’s policies, controls, processes or procedures. Whenever USCC reasonably determines that such a process or control change in the interaction by Provider with USCC is required that may impact USCC’s policies, control environment, controls, processes and procedures, USCC shall reasonably determine, in consultation with Provider, the required process or control changes, and within ten days after such determination, Provider shall make the necessary additions or edits to such documentation as reasonably directed by USCC to reflect such process and/or control changes and shall provide the most current versions of such documentation to USCC for review. Within [***] days after USCC’s receipt of each updated version of the relevant process and controls documentation, USCC will either provide written confirmation to Amdocs that the revised documentation is acceptable or provide to Amdocs in writing the revisions that are required to make such documentation reflect such agreed-upon process and/or control changes. Within [***] days after Amdocs’ receipt of such revisions, Amdocs shall process such revisions into the documentation and update the repository accordingly. Within [***] days after the end of each calendar quarter, Provider shall confirm to
5
Information marked with “[***]” has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
USCC in writing that the documentation in the repository is current as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.
(a) After each calendar quarter, Provider shall participate in SOX management testing conducted by USCC, provided that, if such participation requires more than [***] hours of Provider Personnel time in any calendar quarter, Provider shall be entitled to charge USCC for the number of hours in excess of such [***] hours at the manpower rates set forth in Schedule C to the MSOWMS.
(b) At any time, if USCC is concerned that a process or control for SOX compliance set forth in Appendix 5 to this MSSOW is not in compliance, USCC will provide written notice to Provider that identifies the potential compliance issue and any facts that are available to USCC forming the basis for USCC’s concern(s). Within [***] days after receipt of such notice, Provider will respond to USCC in writing with any information that Provider may have that is relevant to such compliance issue(s). If, after reviewing Provider’s response, USCC determines that the issue(s) have the potential to be significant and therefore merit further investigation, USCC may, upon written notice to Provider at least [***] days prior to commencing an audit under this Section 5.3(b), through an independent auditor that is a registered public accounting firm nationally recognized in the United States and qualified to perform a SOX audit (“SOX Auditor”), subject to USCC and such SOX Auditor executing Provider’s relevant standard confidentiality/nondisclosure agreements, and at USCC’s expense, audit Provider’s processes and/or controls related to such potential compliance issue(s). If any such audit reveals any significant issues (or [***] or more insignificant issues that taken together become significant) related to such processes and/or controls, then Provider will remediate the non-compliance according to the written remediation recommendation and plan (including the timeline therefor) provided by the SOX Auditor. USCC may, through such auditor, at USCC’s expense, perform additional audit procedures in USCC’s reasonable discretion to ensure that Provider properly implemented all remediation plan activities.
5.4 Provider shall comply with the following SOC 1, Type II, and PCI-DSS reporting requirements:
(a) SOC 1, Type II Reporting. Provider shall retain an independent, registered public accounting firm that is nationally recognized in the United States to perform an audit or series of audits of the control activities, systems and processes established and maintained by Provider and its subcontractors to provide the Services and any other services then being provided to USCC under this MSSOW. Each such annual audit or series of audits shall conform to the requirements necessary to produce a SOC 1, Type II Report as set forth in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization, or in any successor or substitute statement adopted by the AICPA (such report being referred to as a “SOC 1 Report”). The initial annual SOC 1 audit shall be performed for the period commencing on the actual execution date of this MSSOW and ending as of September 30, 2015. Thereafter, each annual SOC 1 audit shall be performed for a twelve-month period that ends as of a date that is no earlier than September 30th of the calendar year for which the SOC 1 Report is required. Provider shall provide the SOC 1 Report to USCC promptly upon receipt by Provider, but no later than December 31 of the calendar year for which the SOC 1 Report is required. In addition, Provider shall promptly notify USCC of any areas of significant concern identified in any SOC 1 Report or, on an interim basis, of any areas of significant concern expected to be identified in any future SOC 1 Report, and shall provide to USCC periodic reports regarding Provider’s efforts and progress towards resolving such areas of concern. If required by USCC, Provider will provide a bridge letter for each SOC 1 Report to facilitate annual compliance reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any regulations promulgated under it.
6
Information marked with “[***]” has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(b) Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUPs). Provider shall be accountable to remediate any control failures identified through USCC’s audit and control testing for the period commencing October 1, 2014, and ending on the date that is the later to occur of (i) the date that Amdocs completes Amdocs’ data-gathering procedures in connection with USCC’s audit and control testing of the data provided to USCC, and (ii) the actual execution date of this MSSOW; provided, however, that for any time period prior to the actual execution date of this MSSOW, Amdocs shall only be obligated to provide such data to USCC with respect thereto that is reasonably available to Amdocs. Provider will support USCC in its SOX Compliance function by performing the tasks specified in Section 2.4 of Appendix 5 to this MSSOW as well as providing information requested and addressing questions in connection therewith regarding the Services provided by Provider in 2014. For clarification, testing SOX Compliance is the responsibility of USCC, although Provider may propose and the parties may agree on changes to the testing approach. If Provider is unable to produce a SOC 1, Type II report covering services provided for a time period during the last calendar year that this MSSOW is in place, Provider shall retain an independent, registered public accounting firm that is nationally recognized in the United States to perform an audit or series of audits of the control activities, systems and processes established and maintained by Provider and its subcontractors to provide the Services and any other services then being provided to USCC under this MSSOW. The result of this audit shall conform to the requirements necessary to produce a Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures (“AUPs”) as set forth in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization and AT section 201, Agreed-Upon Procedures Engagement. Provider shall provide the Agreed-Upon Procedures Report to USCC promptly upon receipt by Provider, but no later than December 31 of the calendar year for which the report is required, unless USCC agrees to a later date in advance and in writing. In addition, Provider shall promptly notify USCC of any areas of significant concern identified in any Agreed-Upon Procedures Report or, on an interim basis, of any areas of significant concern expected to be identified in any future Agreed-Upon Procedures Report, and shall provide to USCC periodic reports regarding Provider’s efforts and progress towards resolving such areas of concern. If required by USCC, Provider will provide a bridge letter for each Agreed-Upon Procedures Report to facilitate annual compliance reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any regulations promulgated under it.
(c) PCI-DSS Reporting, Documentation and Related Controls. USCC is required to maintain and periodically demonstrate compliance with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). The compliance process requires USCC to undergo an assessment that includes all the system components used to process, store or transmit cardholder data, and any other component that resides on the same network segment as those system components (collectively, “System Components in Scope”). Because Provider will be performing Services for certain of the System Components in Scope, Provider acknowledges that Provider has the ability to impact the security of USCC’s cardholder data environment. Thus, with respect to Provider’s performance of Services for System Components in Scope (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include development of enhancements to existing, or the addition of new, System Components in Scope), Provider will provide the Services in compliance with PCI-DSS for controls that are part of the following PCI-DSS Requirements (as such PCI-DSS Requirements may be modified from time to time): “(i) restrict access to cardholder data by business need to know; (ii) develop and maintain secure systems and applications; and (iii) identify and authenticate access to System Components in Scope.” As evidence of compliance, Provider will provide when requested, all documentation and evidence that will have shown effectiveness of the controls. If Provider does not undergo its own PCI-DSS assessment, USCC reserves the right to audit through an independent, registered public accounting firm that is nationally recognized in the United States and qualified to perform
7
Information marked with “[***]” has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
a PCI-DSS audit, upon notice to Provider at least [***] days prior to commencing such audit and not more than [***] period, subject to USCC and its representatives executing Consultant’s relevant standard confidentiality/nondisclosure agreements, the processes in order to ensure that Provider is complying with the foregoing.
5.5 Jump Server Access.
(a) USCC shall procure and make available to Provider the license quantities (the “Initial Quantities”) of the Third-Party Software listed in Annex C to this MSSOW for installation by USCC on USCC’s Citrix jump server that provides access to USCC’s B/OSS Solution (the “Jump Server”) for use by Provider Personnel in connection with such Personnel’s access to USCC’s B/OSS Solution in performance of the Services in accordance with the MS Bundle. USCC shall be responsible for all fees and expenses associated with the Initial Quantities. The procurement of any additional license quantities of such Third Party Software for use by Provider as described in this Section (the “Additional Quantities”) is subject to USCC’s approval, provided that the USCC hereby approves the Pre-Approved Additional Quantities specified in Annex C to this MSSOW. USCC shall be responsible for all fees and expenses associated with such Additional Quantities of Third-Party Software which are listed as under USCC’s financial responsibility on Annex C to this MSSOW and will acquire the Additional Quantities specified under the USCC-required Additional Quantities immediately following the Commencement Date. Provider shall be responsible for all fees and expenses associated with such Additional Quantities of Third-Party Software which are listed as under Provider’s financial responsibility on Annex C to this MSSOW. Provider shall comply with the applicable licensor’s terms and conditions governing Provider’s use of all such Third-Party Software.
(b) Except as set forth in Section 5.5(a), all software that Provider may desire to use at its discretion to access directly USCC’s B/OSS Solution in connection with the performance by Provider of the Services in accordance with the MS Bundle is subject to USCC’s prior approval and installation by USCC on the Jump Server. When seeking such approval from USCC for any such software, Provider shall provide to USCC a copy of the applicable licensor’s terms and conditions that govern installation by USCC on the Jump Server and Provider’s use of such software. If USCC approves such software, it shall be added to Annex C to this MSSOW. Provider shall pay all fees and expenses associated with such software to the licensor of such software prior to delivery of such software to USCC for installation on the Jump Server. Provider and USCC shall comply with the applicable licensor’s terms and conditions that govern installation by USCC on the Jump Server, and Provider shall comply with the applicable licensor’s terms and conditions that govern Provider’s use of such software. For the avoidance of doubt, USCC will not use such software under the licenses obtained by Provider pursuant to this Section; provided that if USCC is required to use such software together with Provider under licenses obtained by Provider pursuant to this Section, then USCC shall comply with the applicable licensor’s terms and conditions that govern USCC’s use of such software.
(c) Each party shall be solely responsible for such party’s acts and omissions in connection with the software listed in Annex C to this MSSOW and associated licenses and the Jump Server.
5.6 For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that USCC discloses to or otherwise grants Provider access to USCC Confidential Information in USCC’s Systems (including, without limitation, via virtual private network such as Citrix) in order to perform Services under this MSSOW, but does not deliver such USCC Confidential Information to Provider, then the requirements set forth in Section 10.1 of the Agreement shall not apply to such USCC Confidential Information while in USCC’s Systems.

4. TRANSITION Plan components
The operational transition process is described at a high level in the schematic below. The due date for each phase will be decided according to Amdocs and USCC agreed-upon milestones.
4.1. Joint Commitments
Both Amdocs and USCC will collaborate to conduct all required activities as specified in the detailed plan during the transition period.
Both Amdocs and USCC agree to mitigate risks associated with employee attrition, non-stabilized systems, and any old systems or operational processes with no direct resources or documentation, by conducting a targeted knowledge transfer program in the critical or at-risk applications and process area.
USCC agrees to provide Amdocs with the all facilities and equipment required to provide the onsite in-scope Services required until the transitional period has successfully completed.
Amdocs will assign a Transition Team of experts with Deployment, Managed Services and Cross-Functional experience to manage the Transition.
4.2. Communication
A key success factor for the transition is to ensure open, timely, and accurate communication at all levels between Amdocs and USCC team members, as well as in-scope personnel. Transition communication considerations include:

a. Ensure that all decision makers and business unit leaders know the desired outcomes and strategies surrounding the Transition Plan arrangement.
b. Ensure that both parties proactively and honestly share information, as well as feedback, with each other.
c. Determine how and when employees and third parties directly affected by the outsourcing initiative will be advised.
d. Determine how and when employees and third parties unaffected by the outsourcing initiative will be advised.
e. Communicate key and go/no-go decisions by the Transition Team in order to properly execute the Transition Plan.
4.3. Transition Risks
Amdocs recognizes that there are major risks identified for any Transition Plan. A Transition Risks Document will be created and become a living document through the transition project. The Transition Risks will be reviewed and evaluated with all stakeholders periodically.
4.4. Knowledge Transfer
As a key transition principle, Amdocs will develop a detailed Knowledge Transfer Plan to mitigate a negative service delivery impact relevant to the applicable scope of work.
Transferring knowledge has several key success factors. These are:
9
Information marked with “[***]” has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
a. Focus: The transition needs to be timely to maintain delivery focus and avoid knowledge loss. Due to the short timeframe, Amdocs will focus on critical or at-risk areas.
b. Cooperation: It is critical to the success of a knowledge transfer plan to gain the full cooperation of all domain owners.
c. Documentation: In addition to hands-on training, knowledge of the processes will be transferred through training and documentation. Existing documentation will need to reflect this knowledge to ensure USCC and Amdocs have a stable and reliable knowledge base going forward. As part of the Knowledge Transfer process, Amdocs will evaluate the existing documentation and will augment it as needed.
Because USCC will transfer the operational support for in-scope systems and functions to Amdocs employees, Amdocs expects to share the required business knowledge and primary technical knowledge with USCC resources. However, in order to mitigate any risks associated with employee attrition, Amdocs intends to conduct a knowledge transfer program in the critical or at-risk areas ensuring transfer and retention. During the pre-transition period, USCC and Amdocs will conduct a detailed mapping of all in-scope roles and responsibilities along with the supported applications. As part of this mapping the following will need to be identified:
a. Critical services or operational activities
b. High risk operational activities or interfaces
c. Applications, processes or interfaces in a critical lifecycle phase (e.g., major rolling into production or decommissioning)
d. Following the mapping, Amdocs and USCC will prioritize all identified areas, and based on this prioritization, will create a detailed knowledge transfer plan which will naturally adhere to the required transition timelines.
Amdocs plans to utilize the following Knowledge Transfer methods:
a. Documentation review
b. Presentation and module review with relevant employees
c. Hands-on practice project work
d. Hands-on live project work
e. Hands-on defect work
f. Hands-on production support work
As part of the plan, Amdocs and USCC will define Key Performance Indicators that will enable tracking of the knowledge transfer progress and success. A readiness assessment checklist will evaluate, in detail, competency areas, those being:
a. Training Completeness
b. Project Competency
c. Documentation Completeness

d. Tools Access and Competency
e. Deliverables Quality Assessment
f. Work Procedures Competency
The following diagram illustrates a gradual and soft transition, allowing Amdocs to digest the knowledge, and USCC to adjust the organization plans as Amdocs teams mature in the Operational activities while keeping full continuity of quality services.
[***Picture Removed***]
4.5. Knowledge Transfer as a Risk Mitigation
There is always a possibility that existing USCC employees may not accept the Transition Plan. This can be a risk for the transition process and needs to be mitigated to ensure a stable production system. As part of the mitigation strategy, Amdocs will use the process as outlined in the schematic below. This process will be triggered on the launch date.
Amdocs recognizes that employees may need to dedicate [***] hours on a [***] basis to ensure a successful knowledge transfer.
11
Information marked with “[***]” has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
[***Picture Removed***]
4.6. Handling of Insufficiently Documented Processes
Amdocs and USCC will conduct an audit of any existing processes that are incompletely documented. Once the operational purpose has been identified, Amdocs and USCC will decide whether the process is integrated into the new solution, or at which stage of the project it will be phased out over a period of time. Amdocs will work with USCC to consider the best option for each of the insufficiently documented processes. To achieve this, part or all of the following processes and procedures will be applied:
a. Documentation and notes review
b. Presentation and module review with relevant employees and SMEs
c. Hands-on practice project work
d. Hands-on live project work
e. Hands-on defect work
f. Hands-on production support work
As part of Due Diligence activities, sometimes documentation is identified as missing. A request must be sent for obtaining these documents.
4.7. Transition Logistics
The logistics and facilities requirement for any Amdocs team to effectively operate from a USCC location is imperative.
a. Office Space Location with Workstations, Chairs and Pantry Area:
Amdocs and USCC will work together to define a seating area which can accommodate the employees and contractors at all relevant sites.
12
Information marked with “[***]” has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
b. Physical Security Access:
Amdocs and USCC must ensure that for the employees and contractors supporting the project, all resources should be issued proximity cards for the floor, and any access permissions needed to enable them to access facilities seamlessly.
c. Command Control Center:
Amdocs and USCC employees will jointly support the Command Center for operational activities during the transition period.
d. Conference Room:
Amdocs and USCC employees will require one Conference Room to hold meetings with audio-conferencing and multi-media projection equipment capabilities during the transition period (minimum [***]).
e. Network Facilities and System Access:
Amdocs and USCC employees will use their existing Domain User Accounts to log in via the relevant networks.
f. Desktop / Laptop Computers and Network Printers:
Amdocs and USCC employees will continue to use their existing desktop / laptop computers with access to the network domain and printers, as needed.
g. Corporate Email, Telephony and Communications:
Amdocs and USCC employees will still continue to use the corporate email (Microsoft Exchange), telephony and internal communications medium (MS Office Communication System).
h. Cellular Phones (Amdocs and USCC-provided Service Units)
During the transition period, Amdocs and USCC should request its employees not change service providers or numbers in order to retain assigned mobile numbers of selected employees. This will help to avoid any disruption related to communication and ensure continued support (SMS for monitoring alerts, escalation, coordination, etc.).
5. Transition Teams
5.1. Transition Management Team
Amdocs and USCC will establish a joint Transition Management Team prior to the Transition Period Commencement Date. This team will include one manager from each Party and will meet weekly, either face-to-face or via video conference. This management forum will operate until the successful completion of the Transition Plan is completed. The Transition Management Team will:
a. Provide guidance and resolutions for all outstanding transition issues
b. Verify that the roles and responsibilities for both Amdocs and USCC personnel are well followed and fine-tuned, when needed
13
Information marked with “[***]” has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
c. Ensure that the Transition Project meets schedule and quality expectations
d. Approve any changes that may be made to the Transition Plan or schedule
e. Maintain smooth working relationships between Amdocs and USCC
f. Review transition status and issues
5.2. Transition Program Management Office (PMO)
Amdocs and USCC will assign a Transition Manager and a PMO prior to the Transition Period Commencement Date to support the project. The Transition Manager will:
a. Develop, maintain, coordinate, and govern the execution of specific transition plans
b. Be the focal point for status reporting of the project
c. Provide recommendations for changes to the Transition Plan to the joint Transition Management Team
d. Coordinate and schedule [***] Transition Management Team meetings
e. Maintain a master list of all outstanding issues through continuous communication with the Parties’ personnel involved in transition activities
f. Escalate to the joint Transition Management Team all outstanding issues that cannot be resolved within the teams according to escalation procedures established by the Transition Manager
g. Maintain a list of open issues to be used for risk management and control. Risks may be identified by any member of the Transition Team, and will be documented and analyzed within the Transition Risk Log.
5.3. Production Management Team
Amdocs and USCC will assign a Production Management Team prior to the Transition Period Commencement Date. This team will include Amdocs and USCC employees with the following areas of expertise: Production Management, Production Operations, Service Delivery Management, Billing Operations and Business Processes.
On the Production Commencement Date, the Production Management Team will assume responsibility for the processes in-scope utilizing the new and existing support teams.
During the Transition Period, Amdocs and USCC will conduct a review of each of the Operational Processes associated with the systems.
During this review, any current development plans, architecture requirements, migration plans, and key ongoing support commitments or issues within each of the systems in scope will be reviewed, ensuring an alignment of the operational processes.
The review will consist of:
a. Knowledge transfer of the in-scope processes from USCC to Amdocs
14
Information marked with “[***]” has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
b. Review of up-to-date in-scope operational documentation
c. A review of all in-progress projects for the in-scope systems
d. A check of existing backlogs for open issues, defects and performance issues
e. A review of business interactions with the business community and users
f. A review of security and other USCC environments and health policies
The objective of these activities is for Amdocs to assume control of ongoing support business processes, with the ability to maintain the required level of performance by the end of the transition phase.
5.4. Location of Amdocs On-site Teams
Starting on the Transition Commencement Date, Amdocs will be stationed within offices provided by USCC, as needed, to ensure BAU. As long as Amdocs works from the USCC offices, Amdocs and USCC shall fully respect all its customer policies and guidelines.
Although in the same location, Amdocs and USCC may work in their own environments when needed. A transition plan shall be drafted in close cooperation between Amdocs and USCC.
As of the Production Date, all agreed upon assets shall be clearly assigned to their respective party, including authorizations to the systems and applications, and remote access functionality to the Infrastructure, all in order to enable Amdocs or USCC to perform the agreed upon work relevant to the agreed upon systems and roles and responsibilities.
5.5. Connectivity between Amdocs and USCC Offices
Access to the Amdocs or USCC network for on-site personnel will be achieved via VPN over an established Internet link. Depending on the model agreed on for in-scope personnel, special arrangements will have to be made on how to access IT services and systems when needed. The following scenario will have to be considered, and a specific solution agreed on for on-site operations (VPN access via new or shared Internet link and firewall).
5.6. Governance
Governance embodies the organizational structure of the program and applies to all relevant levels of communication within the organization. Clear roles and responsibilities, combined with well-defined accountability and communication channels, are vital to achieving successful program outcomes and, as such, a clear division of responsibilities is defined before the commencement of the project. Proper governance is required from the start of the project through to the end of production stabilization to ensure there are no surprises, which issues are properly handled, and that risks are mitigated without impacting the schedule.
The following diagram illustrates the primary interfaces for the management of the governance agreement:

5.10. Monitoring Tools Transition Plan
Amdocs will perform / ensure operations and system monitoring tools are ready available, and in functional operation on a [***] basis before commencement of Day One.
USCC will continue to operate a command center team during the transitional hand-over phase, at which after hand-over, Amdocs will continue to monitor operations and systems using monitoring tools implemented by Amdocs (covering in-scope applications). Operational Monitoring and Tools may change as Amdocs implements synergies, from Operational HUB locations or in the decommissioning plan of duplicate processes as needed, but always ensuring BAU and the ability to monitor and measure critical SLAs and KPIs.
Amdocs will have access to USCC monitoring systems to have a dashboard view of the applications and associated processes deemed in-scope during the Transition Period.
Amdocs will shadow USCC monitoring systems and create a view for Amdocs SMEs on a centralized dashboard; utilizing inputs from existing USCC current and future state monitoring tools.

USCC monitoring tools will be configured to send email and SMS alerts to Amdocs’ teams for events related to in-scope applications.
USCC monitoring will continue to be BAU, including manual monitoring done by the command center, until the Transformation Plan is completed.
5.11. SLA Reports
SLA reports will be generated once Amdocs takes ownership. Amdocs will need to report the SLAs in accordance with Annex B of the MSSOW. During the Transition Plan time period it is the responsibility of USCC to provide the following information:
[***]
Once Amdocs has ownership of the SLA processes, periodic SLA reports will include the following information:

Transition Exit Criteria
Instructions
Document Purpose | | The overall purpose of the Quality Gate Checklist is to guide the TOPS and Amdocs transition teams through the process of agreeing that the required activities are successfully completed. The Instructions Tab provides a description of the fields in the Quality Gate Checklist and how to complete each quality gate (“Quality Gate”). |
| | |
Checklist Tabs (Phases) | | The tabs of the checklist correspond with the various phases of the transition. Please note the following as relates to the last two tabs: -Process Transition - The “Process Transition” Quality Gate applies to waves/application groups that consist of applications not moving vendors (i.e. incoming vendor currently maintains the set of applications and will do so in steady state). In such instances, that wave/application group will only need to complete the Process Transition Quality Gate — which can be accomplished at any phase prior to go-live. -Transition Closeout — This “Quality Gate Checklist” must be completed to prior go-live and signifies completion of all necessary quality gates for successful transition of the wave/application group. |
| | |
Overall Instructions | | The Quality Gate Checklist is intended to be applied to each application and application wave to track the quality of the Transition Plan. The Quality Gate Checklist will be updated and reviewed for each Quality Gate review meeting. Duplicate sheets per Quality Gate can be created as needed for further detail by application if required. |
| | |
Who | | This document is maintained by the Service Provider process team member with approval for presentation to the Quality Gate Review by the US Cellular TOPS Process Integration Manager (Application Lead). |
| | |
Skill Level Definitions Section | | The skills definitions provide a quick reference for selecting the skill level observed for each criteria being measured. The pull downs in each section match the list in this section. |
| | |
Criteria List | | This is a list of the criteria being measured and reported in each phase of the Transition Plan. |

Exhibit C-3: Envelope Parameters
1. Envelope Parameter Changes and Associated Service Fee Adjustments
1.1. The Envelope Parameters specified in the Table in Section 4 (the “Envelope Parameters Table”) represent the sizing and capacity assumptions relating to the Services.
1.2. Provider shall perform the Services for the monthly Service Fees in accordance with the performance requirements set forth in Schedule B to the MSOWMS. The monthly Service Fees are subject to adjustment due to changes to the Envelope Parameters as described herein.
1.3. Provider and USCC shall continuously monitor the Envelope Parameters and collaborate in capacity planning and Envelope Parameter resetting when such Envelope Parameters exceed or are expected to exceed their respective Metric Thresholds as described herein. [***] In connection with the Services, to the extent USCC is reasonably able to do so, USCC shall provide Provider with advance notice of any event and/or technical and/or business changes which may cause any of the Envelope Parameters to exceed their respective Metric Threshold. In the event that any actual Envelope Parameter number exceeds its Metric Threshold [***] duration of the Tolerance Period listed in Column C, then the Service Fee for each month following the end of such Tolerance Period, shall be increased by an amount specified in Column G to the Envelope Parameters Table (“Service Fee Adjustment”) that corresponds to the volume of incremental growth listed in Column F to the Envelope Parameters Table, and the associated Metric Threshold in Column B to the Envelope Parameters Table shall be automatically increased to include such incremental growth. If the increase to the actual Envelope Parameter number is within an incremental growth range listed in Column F to the Envelope Parameters Table, then the Metric Threshold will be increased by an amount that is equal to the maximum amount of such range.
By way of example, using the second row of the Envelope Parameters Table, if the actual number of Prepaid Active Subscribers (the Envelope Parameter in Column A of the Envelope Parameters Table) were to increase above [***]M (the Metric Threshold in Column B of the Envelope Parameters Table) at least once during each Business Day within a [***] calendar day period (the Tolerance Period in Column C of the Envelope Parameters Table), with such increases in Subscribers above such [***]threshold ranging anywhere from [***] to [***] across all such Business Days, then because those subscriber increases for all such Business Days were within the 1 to [***] range (the Incremental Growth in Column F of the Envelope Parameters Table), on the day following the end of such [***] calendar day period, the monthly Service Fee would be increased by the amount of [***] (the Service Fee Adjustment in Column G of the Envelope Parameters Table). In addition, the Metric Threshold of [***]M would be increased by [***] (the maximum amount of the 1 to [***] Incremental Growth range in Column F of the Envelope Parameters Table).
1.4. [***].
