The Parties agree that Al-Call MET Communications will incur the mechanized rate for all LSRs, both mechanized (LENS, EDI, EDI-PC, and TAG) and manual, if the percentage of mechanized LSRs to total LSRs meets or exceeds the threshold percentages shown below below: Year Ratio: Mechanized/Total LSRs 1999 70% 2000 80% 2001 90% The threshold plan will be discontinued in 2002. In calculating the percentages above, all orders submitted via BellSouth’s mechanized LSR systems (LENS, EDI, EDI-PC, and TAG) will count as mechanized LSRs, regardless of whether an order falls out of the mechanized process or requires manual intervention in order to be properly completed and processed.

At the end of that time period, a Percent Electronic LSR calculation will be made for that quarter based on the LSR data tracked in the LCSC.
