Except as otherwise set forth in the Order, estimates furnished by AT&T are for planning purposes only and shall not constitute commitments.
a. Termination for Cause - If either Party breaches any provision of this Amended and Restated Agreement and/or any Order, and (i) if the breach is one that by its nature could be cured, and such breach is not cured within **** after the breaching Party receives written notice, or (ii) if the breach is material and one that by its nature cannot be cured, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies at law or in equity or otherwise, the non-breaching Party shall have the right upon written notice to immediately terminate this Amended and Restated Agreement and/or any such Order without any obligation or liability.

obligations for any minimums under the Amended and Restated 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 this Amended and Restated Agreement are terminated, this Amended and Restated 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 Amended and Restated 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
Each Party shall, except as required under law or this Amended and Restated Agreement, upon expiration or termination of this Amended and Restated Agreement and after all Wind Down and Transition efforts have concluded, promptly return all papers, materials, and property of the other Party.
f. Wind Down and Transitioning.
1. The Parties acknowledge that upon the termination or expiration of the Amended and Restated 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 Amended and Restated 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 Amended and Restated 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.
2. 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.
3. Supplier shall not be required, pursuant to subsections (g) (1) and (g) (2) above or otherwise, to disclose or otherwise make available to the AT&T the proprietary technology, software, or source code of Supplier or Supplier subcontractors, as well as any Confidential Information relating thereto.

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, Supplier 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 Amended and Restated Agreement or the Order. Upon any such modification, a modified Price Chart shall be supplied.

periods where such Overtime **** are the result of Agent staffing shortages due to sick call outs or Agent attrition (and not the result of an Exclusion).
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.
