3.0   Pricing Assumptions
  1.      STI and AT&T will meet once every *** to review and adjust the Manual Processing prices where appropriate.
 
  2.      In the event that the time studies reveal a material change in Manual Processing costs, greater than ***%, both parties agree to review in detail the core reason for the change. In the event that a change is attributed to performance, then both parties will mutually agree if a change is warranted.
 
  3.   STI anticipates Manually Processing additional Transaction types. The Manual Processing fees for these Transactions could be priced at a different rate. The fee for Manually Processing new Transactions would be determined by the complexity and processing rates associated with the Transaction. Fees for Manually Processing Transactions will be determined after a large enough sample size is processed by the ASP Solution and will be mutually agreed to in writing by both parties. During this period the parties must mutually agree on a price until an amendment to the Contract is completed with mutually agreed upon pricing and associated SLA and remedies.
 
  4.   New Manual Processing not identified in Section 1.0 of this Attachment would be handled through a written change request. New Transactions will require an initial trial period that will produce a large enough sample size to price the fees for Manually Processing these Transactions. Service levels and remedies will not apply during the initial trial period, of a length to be mutually determined by the parties.
 
  5.   STI anticipates the cancelled rate for Manually Processing Transactions not to exceed ***% of total Manual Processing Transaction volume. If the actual number of Manual Processing Transactions that are cancelled exceeds ***%, STI will charge AT&T the cancelled rate for the initial Manual Processing Transactions that are cancelled and the shipped/successful Manual Processing fee for those Transactions over such ***% threshold.
 
  6.   Any modifications requested by AT&T that impact the configuration or processing methodology by STI may require adjustments to the Manual Processing fees herein. Upon receipt and review of AT&T’s modification request, STI shall inform AT&T of any proposed increase to the fees. AT&T will have the sole option of whether or not to move forward with its requested modification.
  4.0   Operations Management Team
    As part of the OMC Contract, STI will provide AT&T with Operations Management support. The dedicated team will provide AT&T with the following services:
 
    Program Management:
    Responsibilities include project management, business analysis, and functional analysis to support new development, features and functionality. Additional Program Management responsibilities include bringing new clients onto the ASP Solution.
 
    Operations Management:
    Responsibilities include credit, activation, and order fulfillment, transaction queue management, service level monitoring and reporting, staffing, IVR management, training, and interacting with B2C and B2B and Care teams to ensure seamless, high quality customer service for eCommerce customers.

Service Level Measurement Process:
  1.   Statistics used to determine downtime are collected using a suite of network and application monitoring tools as well as data collected by the application itself.
 
  2.   ASP Platform Service level attainment is reviewed on a *** basis. All statistics from STI’s monitoring suite are reviewed and dowtime recorded for that *** is summarized for each funtional area of the ASP platform (e.g. gateway, email, workflow etc.)
 
  3.   Anytime the Order Gateway under a Normal Transaction Flow (as defined in Section 3.0 below) responds to no Transactions within *** of its receipt by the Order Gateway outside the network and server downtimes and scheduled outages will also be included in the downtime calculation. For example, ***.
 
  4.   STI assumes that the *** and *** transaction volume will not exceed the forecast by more than ***%. Volume in excess of this amount will exempt STI from these SLA and remedies for the affected period. Requirements for special events, e.g. bulk orders will be addressed on an individual basis.
 
  5.   Functional area outages are determined using the guidelines in the tables below:
Table 4: STI System Outage Guidelines
           
 
  Platform     Outage Criteria  
 
Order Gateway
    •   All gateway application servers are down

•  Gateway cannot process client transactions and “nacks” all messages to the gateway

Platform
    An outage will be recorded if any one of the following occurs:

•   Real time reporting application is unavailable or is not updating on a scheduled basis

•   Hourly reports are not generated and delivered (for reasons other than an STI or AT&T email issue). Availability will be measured as a percentage of the overall number of reports generated on a monthly basis

AT&T will have the responsibility to produce reports from the Order Gateway, or request such reports from STI, to measure the results and determine if this SLA is met. AT&T and STI shall mutually agree on the format of such reports. Measurement will be based on ***. STI will comply with AT&T’s requests for data in accordance with the measurement. For purposes of the OMC Contract and the MSA ***.
 
    Normal Transaction Flow means:
  a.   The sending system emits a valid message for the activity desired per the agreed upon schema.
 
  b.   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.
 
  c.   The customer’s systems are accepting and correctly processing responses from the STI 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 for correctness. Additional security, database and business logic analysis will be performed to ensure the message can and should be processed by the STI system. If both of these activates are successful the Order is submitted for processing.
