(hereinafter “Performance Standards”) to ensure the
delivery of high quality, efficient customer service. Subject to
AT&T providing and Supplier receiving the forecasts set forth
in Section 6.2 herein (“Forecast Process”).
Effective upon signature of this WO by both parties
(“Execution Date”), Performance Standard s for Sites
existing on the Execution Date shall begin the month following the
Execution Date. Furthermore, anytime a particular Site/Line
Group increases by more than [*] percent ([*]%) over a [*] month
period, Performance Standards shall not apply with respect to such
Site/Line Group until [*] days after the incremental Site/Line
Group staff has been in Production handling customer
calls. Before the application of any of the Performance
Standards, the parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith
changes to the Performance Standards set forth and the relevant
AT&T service credits and Supplier incentive pay with respect to
such Performance Standards
PRIVATE/PROPRIETARY/LOCK
The information contained in this
Agreement is not for use or disclosure outside AT&T, Supplier,

based on performance prior to such
Performance Standards taking effect. Performance Standards
hereunder shall be measured by Line Group at each Site and shall
exclude calls handled by the IVR and those calls subject to waivers
as set forth herein this WO. Any services credits owed or
incentive pay earned by Supplier shall only apply to the Services
invoiced for the particular Site/Line Group subject to
Exhibit D herein for which it was measured and shall be
assessed to Billable Hours only.
6.2
Call Volume Forecasting /
Staffing . Each
month on a by Site/Line Group basis, AT&T shall provide
Supplier [*] written forecasts to be used by Supplier as a guide
for recruitment, planning and staffing activities. The [*]
written forecasts are as follows:
1.
[*] -Day Outlook Forecast with the required number
of Full Time Equivalents (“FTEs”) by Site/Line group
for recruitment purposes.
2.
[*] -Day Locked Forecast with the estimated daily
number of calls and Average Handle Time (AHT) by Site/Line Group
for planning purposes (“ [*]
-DayLock”).
3.
[*] -Day Forecast with daily call arrival patterns
by Site/Line Group.
Supplier shall provide FTE staffing
pursuant to the mutually agreed upon [*] -Day Lock, which
will include an assumption of initial Program training and
on-the-job training (“Nesting”) pursuant to
Exhibit E, by Site/Line Group. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that AT&T requests training or Nesting
to extend beyond that defined in Exhibit E, and Supplier
determines that the change will affect Supplier’s ability to
staff accurately, the parties shall address the change subject to
Section 4.22 (Change Management) of the Agreement.
The mutually agreed upon [*]
-Day Lock represents a commitment by AT&T and Supplier with
respect to call volume and staffing levels by Line Group.
Once the [*] -Day Lock is agreed to, AT&T agrees to
compensate Supplier for the Billable Hours incurred for the
applicable month which shall be no less than [*] percent (
[*] %) of the [*]-Day Lock, and it is Supplier’s
responsibility to staff to [*]-Day Lock as mutually agreed
upon. In cases where Supplier has duplicate Line Groups
across Sites, Supplier reserves the right to increase or decrease
volumes at a Site level as long as the [*]-Day Lock remains
unchanged.
Both AT&T and Supplier will need
to agree upon the staffing requirements when the [*]-Day Lock
represents +/- [*] % change from the previous [*]-Day Lock,
as it may require additional new hire training. The parties
shall mutually agree upon adjusted staffing for the modified
forecast volumes pursuant to Section 4.22 (Change Management)
of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
a Site staffing decrease is the lesser of (a) [*] CSRs
or (b) [*] percent ( [*] %) of the site,
Supplier shall have [*] days from receipt of written notice
to decrease the [*]-Day Lock if it can demonstrate to
AT&T’s reasonable satisfaction that such Site staffing
decrease triggers notification requirements pursuant to the WARN
Act.
a)
The Performance Standards outlined
here in this WO may be changed by AT&T upon [*] days
written notice to Supplier per the procedure outlined in
Section 4.22 (Change Management) of the Agreement.
b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Supplier shall be waived for Performance Standards (with the
exception of 6.3.4 and 6.3.5) and shall not be in breach under this
WO or the Agreement to the extent caused by AT&T or if actual
call volume for such Program exceeds or is less than the [*]-Day
Lock for such Site/Line Group by more than [*] percent (
[*] %) or as otherwise set forth in this WO or the
Agreement.
c)
Failure to meet the same Performance
Standard at the same Site/Line Group for [*] consecutive
months shall be considered a material default unless otherwise
waived in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
PRIVATE/PROPRIETARY/LOCK
The information contained in this
Agreement is not for use or disclosure outside AT&T, Supplier,
their affiliated companies and their third party representatives,
except under written Agreement by the contracting
Parties.

d)
Supplier shall provide at least [*]
percent ([*]%) of the staffing pursuant to the [*]-Day Lock and in
any case shall use reasonable efforts to achieve [*] percent ([*]%)
of the staffing pursuant to the [*]-Day Lock, and AT&T shall
provide at least [*] percent ([*]%) of the Billable Hours pursuant
to the [*]-Day Lock. If AT&T provides less than [*]
percent ([*]%) of the Billable Hours to support the staffing
requirements provided in the [*]-Day Lock, AT&T agrees to pay
the difference to meet [*] percent ([*]%).
Supplier’s failure to meet [*]
percent ([*]%) of committed staffing pursuant to the [*]- Day Lock
per Site will result in [*].
6.3
Performance Standards: The
Customer Satisfaction, Occupancy, Average Handle Time and Repeat
Calls Performance Standards shall apply to the Line Groups set
forth in Exhibit D of this WO, and shall be subject to
material default and the applicable AT&T service credit or
Supplier earned incentive pay set forth herein. The
Occupancy, and Short Calls Performance Standards will not be
subject to services credits or incentive pay, however, will be
subject to material default.
6.3.1
Customer Satisfaction:
For the purposes of this
Performance Standard, Customer Satisfaction will be calculated
based upon the combined performance results of First Call
Resolution (“FCR”) GAP and Total Resolved each of which
shall be subject to statistically valid sample sizes with a margin
of error no greater than [*] percent ([*]%). If the margin of
error exceeds [*] percent ([*]%) for the month, the monthly
measurement will be waived and shall be excluded from the monthly
Performance Standard measurement. In addition, AT&T or
AT&T vendor site performance measurements with a margin of
error greater than [*] percent ([*]%) shall not be included in the
stack ranking. In addition, Supplier shall be waived from the
Customer Service Performance Standard and shall not be in breach or
subject to an AT&T service credit if actual calls volumes
exceed or are less than the [*]-Day Volume Forecast by more than
[*] percent ([*]%), provided that Supplier is in compliance with
the mutually agreed upon [*]-Day Lock.
FCR GAP is the percentage variance
between the possible First Call Resolution score and the actual FCR
score and is more particularly defined in Exhibit C attached
hereto. FCR GAP results will be ranked by AT&T sites
providing the same services (“Like Sites”). * FCR
GAP shall be calculated as follows:
(Possible FCR — Actual First
Call Resolution) / Possible First Call Resolution
Total Resolved is defined as the
total number of surveys resulting in a customer’s primary
issue was resolved by Supplier.
The FCR GAP and Total Resolved
metrics will be reported on a monthly basis and shall be summed on
a monthly basis to determine performance results. The
following methodology shall be used to determine penalty/premium
associated with this Performance Standard:
Like Sites shall be ranked in
accordance to the FCR GAP *
Like Sites shall be ranked in
accordance to Total Resolved scores
The sum of the rankings shall be
used to determine an overall score
The overall score (in ascending
order) of all Like Sites shall be ranked
Illustrated as follows:

the contrary, in the event Supplier’s Customer Satisfaction
results fall into the bottom quartile of the Like Sites stack
ranking however, Supplier meets the individual FCR Gap measurement
of <=[*]% and a Total Resolved measurement of >=[*]% for the
month, Supplier will receive a waiver for material default and
shall not be subject to any invoice credit.
6.3.2
Occupancy Rate Target of
[*]%: The
Occupancy Rate will be measured monthly and shall be determined by
subtracting total idle (waiting to serve) time from total logged in
time and dividing the difference by total logged in time. If
actual volumes are [*] percent ([*]%) greater than or less than the
[*]-Day Volume Forecast from AT&T and Supplier staffing levels
are in accordance with Supplier forecast, the Occupancy Rate target
will be waived.
6.3.3

shall be measured monthly as it applies to material breach.
The AHT Performance Standard will be waived if the actual call
volume is [*] percent ([*]%) greater than or less than [*] percent
([*]%) of the [*]-Day Volume Forecast. The AT&T service credits
will be applied in the following fashion:

6.3.4
Short Calls
: The Short Call Target of [*]
percent ([*]%) shall be measured [*]. The Short Call
metric shall be measured by dividing the total number of calls with
an AHT of [*] seconds or less by the total number of calls
answered.
6.3.5
Repeat Call Target of
[*]% : (Repeat Calls) /
(Calls Answered) shall be measured [*] is defined as the
percentage of calls handled by the CSR where the customer called
back and was handled again by a different CSR within [*] calendar
days. Repeat calls are a non-CMS statistic generated
externally from IVR call data. A repeat call occurs when a CTN
touches an AT&T IVR more than once within [*] calendar days and
