| 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. | ||

| Order Gateway under a Normal Transaction Flow (as described below) will respond to ***% of the Transactions for a Channel within *** of its receipt by the Order Gateway in any given *** provided such Transaction is in the documented format and has been submitted by AT&T per the published process documentation, and successfully pass STI’s Order Gateway Validations (as described below). 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.

audit evaluating its controls and procedures as it relates to all of its clients. Any
material weaknesses which arise will be immediately corrected or otherwise disclosed to
AT&T.
| 6.3 | Remedies |
| 1. | Service levels apply only to transactions that are received and processed through the Order Gateway and OMC. | |
| 2. | SLA and remedies do not apply when latency or system issues are experienced with AT&T or Third Party Vendor systems, e.g.: Care, Telegence, Siebel, NBO, Oracle, other Back Office Systems. | |
| 3. | Remedies not identified in this document may require further negotiation on the service price per transaction. | |
| 4. | AT&T must maintain Account Payable terms better than *** or all remedies are forfeited for that period. | |
| 5. | STI is not eligible for any bonus if any other of the Service Levels is missed for ***. Once Synchronoss is back within service levels the premium charge for exceeding SLA would apply. |
