9.11 | Amdocs Diversity. |
(a) | It is the policy of AT&T that minority, women, and disabled veteran owned business enterprises (MWDVBEs) shall have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts. AT&T Inc.s current goals are MBE-15%, WEB-5%, and DVBE-1.5%, each as defined below. | ||
(b) | Amdocs shall make good faith efforts to carry out this policy (consistent with such policys territorial application) in the award of subcontracts, distribution agreements, resale agreements, and other opportunities for MWDVBE participation. In furtherance of those efforts, and not as a limitation, Amdocs shall submit annual participation plans, at the time of contract execution and each subsequent year by [**], establishing Amdocs goals for the year for participation by minority owned business enterprises (MBE), women owned business enterprises (WBE) and disabled veteran business enterprises (DVBE), with participation expressed as a percentage of aggregate estimated annual purchases by AT&T and its Affiliates for the coming year under this Agreement. Amdocs shall include specific and detailed plans for achieving its goals in each participation plan. | ||

When reporting its results, Amdocs shall count only expenditures with MWDVBEs that are certified as |

(e) | The extent to which AT&Ts potential suppliers (a) set challenging goals in their annual participation plans and (b) succeed in exceeding the goals that they have set are factors that AT&T may consider favorably when deciding to extend or renew expiring agreements, to apportion orders among competing suppliers under existing agreements, and to award new business in competitive bidding. | ||
(f) | Amdocs obligations under this Section are not a limitation of any obligations that Amdocs may have under other provisions of this Agreement, including Section 9.12. |

18.2 | Force Majeure. |
(a) | General. Subject to Section 18.2(d), no Party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement if and to the extent such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God; wars, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party, except to the extent the non-performing Party is at fault in failing to prevent or causing such default or delay, and provided that such default or delay can not reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing Party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means. A strike, lockout or labor dispute involving Amdocs or a Subcontractor and its own personnel shall not excuse Amdocs from its obligations hereunder. In addition, the refusal of Amdocs Personnel to enter a facility that is the subject of a labor dispute shall excuse Amdocs from its obligations hereunder only if and to the extent such refusal is based upon a reasonable fear of physical harm. | ||
(b) | Duration and Notification. In such event the non-performing Party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such Party continues to use all commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. Any Party so prevented, hindered or delayed in its performance shall, as quickly as practicable under the circumstances, notify the Party to whom performance is due by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within one (1) day of the inception of such delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances of the force majeure event, the steps being taken to address such force majeure event and the expected duration of such force majeure event. | ||

In addition, if any event described in Section 18.2(a) substantially prevents, hinders or delays the performance by Amdocs or one of its Subcontractors of Services necessary for the performance of [**] (i) for more than [**], AT&T, at its option, may terminate any portion of this Agreement so affected without payment of Termination Charges and the charges payable hereunder shall be equitably adjusted to reflect those terminated Services; or (ii) for more than [**], AT&T, at its option, may terminate this Agreement in its entirety without payment of Termination Charges.

(d) | Disaster Recovery.

cause basis. |
19. | DISPUTE RESOLUTION. | |
19.1 | Informal Dispute Resolution. | |
Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures with respect to any dispute, other than as provided in Section 19.1(d) or Section 20.9, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve such dispute informally, as follows: |
(a) | Initial Effort. The Parties agree that they shall attempt in good faith to resolve all disputes (other than those described in Section 19.1(d) or Section 20.9) in accordance with Schedule D, Part 4. In the event of a dispute that is not resolved or resolvable in accordance with Schedule D, Part 4, either Party may refer the dispute for resolution to the senior corporate executives specified in Section 19.1(b) below upon written notice to the other Party. | ||
(b) | Escalation. Within five (5) business days of a notice under Section 19.1(a) above referring a dispute for resolution by senior corporate executives, the AT&T Contract Office and the Amdocs Account Office will each prepare and provide to an Amdocs Division President and the AT&T Chief Information Officer, respectively, summaries of the relevant information and background of the dispute, along with any appropriate supporting documentation, for their review. The designated senior corporate executives will confer as often as they deem reasonably necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the matter in issue which the parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. The designated senior corporate executives shall discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. The specific format for the discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated senior corporate executives, but may include the preparation of agreed-upon statements of fact or written statements of position. | ||
(c) | Provision of Information. During the course of negotiations under Section 19.1(a) or Section 19.1(b) above, all reasonable requests made by one Party to another for non-privileged information, reasonably related to the dispute, will be honored in order that each of the parties may be fully advised of the others position. All negotiation shall be strictly confidential and used solely for the purposes of settlement. Any materials prepared by one Party for these |
130
proceedings shall not be used as evidence by the other Party in any subsequent arbitration or litigation; provided, however, the underlying facts supporting such materials may be subject to discovery. | |||
(d) | Prerequisite to Formal Proceedings. Formal proceedings for the resolution of a dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of: (i) the designated senior corporate executives under Section 19.1(b) above concluding in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely; or (ii) thirty (30) days after the notice under Section 19.1(a) above referring the dispute to designated senior corporate executives. The time periods specified in this Section 19.1 shall not be construed to prevent a Party from instituting, and a Party is authorized to institute, formal proceedings earlier to (A) avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, (B) preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or (C) address a claim arising out of the breach of a Partys obligations under Article 13 or a dispute subject to Section 20.9. | ||
(e) | Additional Escalation. In addition to the dispute resolution provisions contained in this Section 19.1, in connection with any exercise of its termination rights under Section 20.1(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), AT&T will, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such termination, but without extending any applicable time frames specified in the Agreement, provide Amdocs with the right to have its Chief Executive Officer address the relevant issues with AT&Ts Chief Operating Officer. |
19.2 | Arbitration. |
(a) | Except for claims arising out of the breach of a Partys obligations under Article 13 or disputes subject to Section 20.9, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach thereof, which cannot be resolved using the procedures set forth above in Section 19.1, shall be finally resolved under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect; provided, however, that without limiting any rights at law or in equity a Party may have because of an improper termination of this Agreement by the other Party, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit either Partys right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article 20. | ||
(b) | The Arbitration shall take place in [**], and shall apply the law of [**]. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding and judgment on the award |
131
may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators shall be instructed to state the reasons for their decisions in writing, including findings of fact and law. The arbitrators shall be bound by the warranties, limitations of liability and other provisions of this Agreement. Except with respect to the provisions of this Agreement that provide for injunctive relief rights, such arbitration shall be a precondition to any application by either Party to any court of competent jurisdiction. | |||
(c) | Within ten (10) days after delivery of written notice (Notice of Dispute) by one Party to the other in accordance with this Section, the Parties each shall use good faith efforts to mutually agree upon one (1) arbitrator. If the Parties are not able to agree upon one (1) arbitrator within such period of time, the Parties each shall within ten (10) days: (i) appoint one (1) arbitrator who has at no time ever represented or acted on behalf of either of the Parties, and is not otherwise affiliated with or interested in either of the Parties and (ii) deliver written notice of the identity of such arbitrator and a copy of his or her written acceptance of such appointment to the other Party. If either Party fails or refuses to appoint an arbitrator within such ten (10) day period, the single arbitrator appointed by the other Party shall decide alone the issues set out in the Notice of Dispute. Within ten (10) days after such appointment and notice, such arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator. In the event that the two (2) arbitrators fail to appoint a third arbitrator within ten (10) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, either arbitrator or either Party may apply for the appointment of a third arbitrator to the American Arbitration Association. | ||
(d) | All arbitrators selected pursuant to this Section shall be practicing attorneys with at least five (5) years of experience in technology law applicable to the Services. Any such appointment shall be binding upon the Parties. The Parties shall use best efforts to set the arbitration within sixty (60) days after selection of the arbitrator or arbitrators, as applicable, but in no event shall the arbitration be set more than ninety (90) days after selection of the arbitrator or arbitrators, as applicable. Discovery as permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure then in effect will be allowed in connection with arbitration to the extent consistent with the purpose of the arbitration and as allowed by the arbitrator or arbitrators, as applicable. The decision or award of the arbitrator or the majority of the three arbitrators, as applicable, shall be rendered within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the hearing, shall be in writing, shall set forth the basis therefor, and shall be final, binding and nonappealable upon the Parties and may be enforced and executed upon in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against whom |
132
the enforcement of such decision or award is sought. Each Party shall bear its own arbitration costs and expenses and all other costs and expenses of the arbitration shall be divided equally between the Parties; provided, however, the arbitrator or arbitrators, as applicable, may modify the allocation of fees, costs and expenses in the award in those cases where fairness dictates other than such allocation between the Parties. |
19.3 | Continued Performance. |
(a) | General. Each Party agrees that it shall, unless otherwise directed by the other Party, continue performing its obligations under this Agreement while any dispute is being resolved; provided that this provision shall not operate or be construed as extending the term of this Agreement or prohibiting or delaying a Partys exercise of any right it may have to terminate the term of this Agreement as to all or any part of the Services. For purposes of clarification, AT&T Data may not be withheld by Amdocs pending the resolution of any dispute. | ||
(b) | [**]. Amdocs acknowledges and agrees that [**]. Amdocs expressly acknowledges and agrees that, pending resolution of any dispute or controversy, it will not deny, withdraw, or restrict Amdocs provision of the Services to AT&T under this Agreement, except as specifically and expressly agreed in writing by AT&T and Amdocs. Amdocs further agrees as follows: |
(i) | In the event of any [**] of any of the terms of this Agreement that could reasonably be expected to cause [**] under this Agreement [**], Amdocs agrees that [**]. | ||
(ii) | Amdocs shall not intentionally interrupt the Services or provide reduced levels of Service quality or support unless and until Amdocs has complied fully with the applicable terms and requirements of Section 4.3 respecting Termination Assistance Services. | ||
(iii) | To the extent that Amdocs suspends the availability of the Services or any portion of the Services to AT&T because it is required to do so by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction (Government Requirement), Amdocs shall promptly use all reasonable efforts to comply with any such Government Requirement to the extent necessary to fully restore the Services. |
133
(iv) | Subject to Sections 20.1(b) and 4.3(a)(iii), Amdocs shall [**]. |
19.4 | Governing Law. | |

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. | ||
19.5 | Venue and Jurisdiction. | |
In any litigation arising out of this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Parties hereby irrevocably agree, submit and waive objection to jurisdiction and venue in, [**]. | ||

(iv) | becomes liable for or incurs Service Level Credits under this Agreement that, in the aggregate, exceed [**] percent ([**]%) of the [**] during any rolling [**] month period, regardless of whether such Service Level Credits are subject to, or have in fact been, [**] provisions of Schedule F; | ||
(v) | fails to perform in accordance with the Minimum Service Level of the same Service Level for [**] consecutive months or during [**] months of any [**] consecutive month period; or | ||
(vi) | makes an unpermitted assignment of this Agreement as described in |
134
Section 21.1(b)(iv); |
or in the event of other termination right under this Agreement, then AT&T may, by giving notice to Amdocs, terminate this Agreement with respect to all or any part of the Services, in whole or in part, as of a date specified in the notice of termination. Amdocs shall not be entitled to any Termination Charges in connection with a Termination for Cause. If AT&T chooses to terminate the Agreement in part, the Charges payable under the Agreement will be adjusted in the manner set forth in Section 20.3. | |||
The express acknowledgment that a certain amount of Service Level Credits or number of Service Level defaults constitutes grounds for termination under Sections 20.1(a)(iv) and (v) does not imply that a lesser amount or number cannot constitute a material breach of this Agreement and therefore grounds for termination under other subsections, and no Party shall contend otherwise in any dispute or controversy between the Parties. | |||
(b) | By Amdocs. In the event that AT&T fails to pay Amdocs undisputed charges exceeding [**] the average monthly fees payable by AT&T under this Agreement and fails to cure such default within [**] days of notice from Amdocs of the possibility of termination for failure to make such payment, Amdocs may, by notice to AT&T, terminate this Agreement. |
20.2 | Critical Services. | |
Without limiting AT&Ts rights under Section 20.1, if Amdocs commits a material breach which prevents or materially degrades AT&Ts or an Eligible Recipients ability to conduct, perform and support a material component of its business, and Amdocs is unable to cure such breach within [**] hours of written notice from AT&T, AT&T may, in addition to its other remedies at law and in equity, [**] until Amdocs has cured the breach or this Agreement is terminated. During such period, [**]. The express inclusion of this remedy in this Section 20.2 does not limit AT&Ts right to use a similar remedy for other breaches by Amdocs of this Agreement. | ||
20.3 | Termination for Convenience. | |
AT&T may terminate this Agreement with respect to all or any portion of the Services for convenience and without cause at any time (subject to Schedule M) by giving Amdocs prior notice designating the Services to be terminated and the termination date as |
135
follows: (a) at least sixty (60) days prior notice for each termination which involves ten percent (10%) or less of the total Services; (b) at least ninety (90) days prior notice for each termination which involves more than ten percent (10%) but less than or equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Services; and (c) at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior notice for each termination which involves greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Services based on AT&Ts good faith estimate. Upon the effective date of any such termination, AT&T shall pay to Amdocs a Termination Charge calculated in accordance with Schedule M. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without affecting any calculation of required days notice for purposes of the foregoing, effective from and after May 31, 2014, may AT&T may terminate all or part of the Acme Services upon one hundred and twenty (120) days notice without obligation for payment of any Termination Charge. | ||

Amdocs shall not be entitled to any Termination Charges in connection with a termination pursuant to this Section 20.4. Such termination shall constitute a release condition under the escrow agreement described in Section 14.3(c). | ||
(b) | Subject to any legal obligation of confidentiality or applicable securities laws, Amdocs will provide AT&T with notice at the earliest permissible time of Amdocs intention to make such a change of Control and facilitate AT&Ts receipt of sufficient information about the Entity acquiring Control for AT&T to choose |
136
to exercise its termination rights described in Section 20.4(a). | |||
(c) | Any permitted assignee or successor in interest under this Section 20.4 shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. | ||

In the event that, in a single transaction or series of transactions, AT&T acquires or is acquired by any other Entity (by stock sale, asset sale or otherwise) or merges with any other Entity that performs for itself or receives from another party services substantially similar to the Services supporting software functionally similar to the Applications, then, at any time within twelve (12) months after the last to occur of such events, AT&T may at its option terminate this Agreement by giving Amdocs at least ninety (90) days prior notice and designating a date upon which such termination shall be effective. Amdocs shall be entitled to Termination Charges in connection with a termination on this basis that is [**] that would be applicable if such termination were a termination under Section 20.3; provided that in the event of any such a termination prior to May 17, 2009, the Termination Charge will be calculated as if such date were May 17, 2009. | ||
20.6 | Termination Upon Extraordinary Event. | |
If, notwithstanding ninety (90) days of good faith negotiation by AT&T, AT&T and Amdocs do not agree as contemplated by Section 11.6(b), AT&T may at its option terminate this Agreement by giving Amdocs at least ninety (90) days prior notice and designating a date upon which such termination shall be effective. Amdocs shall be entitled to Termination Charges upon termination pursuant to this Section 20.6. | ||
20.7 | Insolvency. |

137
Agreement as of a date specified in a termination notice; provided, however, that Amdocs will not have the right to exercise such termination under this Section 20.7 so long as AT&T pays for the Services to be received hereunder in advance on a month-to-month basis. If any Party elects to terminate this Agreement due to the insolvency of the other Party, such termination will be deemed to be a termination for cause hereunder. | |||
(b) | Section 365(n). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Amdocs becomes a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code and rejects this Agreement pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (a Bankruptcy Rejection), (i) any and all of the licensee and sublicensee rights of AT&T arising under or otherwise set forth in this Agreement, including the rights of AT&T referred to in Section 14.7, shall be deemed fully retained by and vested in AT&T as protected intellectual property rights under Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code and further shall be deemed to exist immediately before the commencement of the bankruptcy case in which Amdocs is the debtor; (ii) AT&T shall have all of the rights afforded to non-debtor licensees and sublicensees under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (iii) to the extent any rights of AT&T under this Agreement which arise after the termination or expiration of this Agreement are determined by a bankruptcy court to not be intellectual property rights for purposes of Section 365(n), all of such rights shall remain vested in and fully retained by AT&T after any Bankruptcy Rejection as though this Agreement were terminated or expired. AT&T shall under no circumstances be required to terminate this Agreement after a Bankruptcy Rejection in order to enjoy or acquire any of its rights under this Agreement, including any of the rights of AT&T referenced in Section 14.7. | ||
(c) | AT&T Rights Upon Amdocs Bankruptcy.

Amdocs shall cooperate fully with AT&T and assist AT&T in identifying and taking possession of the items listed in the preceding sentence. |
138
AT&T will have the right to hold such AT&T Data, Proprietary Information, Software, Equipment, Systems and Materials until such time as the trustee or receiver in bankruptcy or other appropriate court officer can provide adequate assurances and evidence to AT&T that they will be protected from sale, release, inspection, publication or inclusion in any publicly accessible record, document, material or filing. Amdocs and AT&T agree that without this material provision, AT&T would not have entered into this Agreement or provided any right to the possession or use of AT&T Data, AT&T Proprietary Information or AT&T Software covered by this Agreement. | |||
(d) | Rights To Assume In Bankruptcy. In the event of commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by or against AT&T or an Eligible Recipient, such Entity or its trustee in bankruptcy shall be entitled to assume the licenses granted to such Entity under or pursuant to this Agreement and shall be entitled to retain all of such Entitys rights thereunder. |
20.8 | Partial Termination. |
(a) | Termination by Service. Without limiting any other right of AT&T hereunder, if AT&T is entitled to terminate this Agreement or any Services, AT&T shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, with respect to one or more Services or with respect to the amount or volume of any Services, and in the event of any partial termination the Charges payable hereunder shall be equitably adjusted to reflect those terminated Services, amounts or volumes. | ||
(b) | Termination of Services for Material Breach. In determining whether AT&T is entitled to terminate one or more Service(s) for cause pursuant to Section 20.1(a), the materiality of a breach by Amdocs shall be measured with respect only to those Service(s) to be terminated by AT&T. |
20.9 | Equitable Remedies. | |
Amdocs acknowledges that, in the event it breaches (or attempts or threatens to breach) its obligation to provide Termination Assistance Services as provided in Section 4.3, its obligation respecting continued performance in accordance with Section 19.3, or its obligation to provide access to computers or files containing AT&T Data in accordance with Section 13.5, AT&T will be irreparably harmed. In such a circumstance, AT&T may proceed directly to court for purposes of obtaining equitable relief. If a court of competent jurisdiction should find that Amdocs has breached (or attempted or threatened |
139
to breach) any such obligations, Amdocs agrees that without any additional findings of irreparable injury or other conditions to injunctive relief, it shall not oppose the entry of an appropriate order compelling performance by Amdocs and restraining it from any further breaches (or attempted or threatened breaches). | ||
21. | GENERAL. | |
21.1 | Binding Nature and Assignment. |
(a) | Binding Nature. This Agreement will be binding on the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. | ||
(b) | Assignment. Neither Party may, or will have the power to, assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, except in the following circumstances: |
(i) | Either Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, without the approval of the other Party, to an Affiliate of the assigning Party that is based and incorporated in the United States and that has the necessary capability, standing, resources and solvency as reasonably determined by the non-assigning Party to perform the Agreement and which expressly assumes such Partys obligations and responsibilities hereunder and is not a direct competitor of the other Party; provided, that the assigning Party shall remain fully liable for and shall not be relieved from the full performance of all obligations under this Agreement. Any Party assigning its rights or obligations to an Affiliate in accordance with this Agreement shall, within one (1) business day after such assignment, provide notice thereof to the other Party together with a copy of any relevant provisions of the assignment document. | ||
(ii) | Amdocs may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, only with the express written consent of AT&T, to an Affiliate of Amdocs that is not based and incorporated in the United States and that has the necessary capability, standing, resources, reputation, governance, authorization, jurisdiction, location and solvency, as reasonably determined by AT&T, to perform the Agreement and which expressly assumes Amdocs obligations and responsibilities hereunder and is not a direct competitor of AT&T; provided, that Amdocs shall remain fully liable for and shall not be relieved from the full performance of all |
140
obligations under this Agreement. In the event that Amdocs takes steps to assign its rights or obligations to an Affiliate in accordance with this Agreement, Amdocs shall provide notice thereof to AT&T together with a copy of any relevant provisions of the assignment document and the relevant consent request. To the extent that the Affiliate of Amdocs to which assignment is proposed meets the standards described above, as reasonably determined and evaluated in good faith by AT&T, which shall be entitled to take into account jurisdiction of the proposed assignee, including enforceability of rights and obligations, legal status of the proposed assignee, regulatory, enforcement and legal climate of the jurisdiction and other reasonable factors relevant to the provision of services to AT&T by a foreign entity, AT&T shall not unreasonably withhold such consent. | |||
(iii) | AT&T may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Entity acquiring, directly or indirectly, Control of AT&T, an Entity into which AT&T is merged, or an Entity acquiring all or substantially all of AT&Ts assets, without the approval of Amdocs. The acquirer or surviving Entity shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. | ||
(iv) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, AT&T shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for cause in accordance with Section 20.1(a) if Amdocs makes any such assignment under this Agreement within one (1) year of the Effective Date. | ||
(v) | Nothing in this Section 21.1(b) limits AT&Ts termination rights pursuant to Section 20.4. |

1. | Termination for Convenience Charges |
This Agreement may not be terminated (in whole or in part) by AT&T pursuant to Section 20.3 of the Agreement until after May 17, 2009. In the event the Agreement is terminated for convenience by AT&T in full following May 17, 2009, AT&T shall pay Amdocs a Termination Charge (the Fixed Termination Charge) set forth in Table 1 below. |
Termination Charge | # Monthly | |||
During Period | Charges (as of 1st | |||
(Period): | day of Contract Year) | |||
May 17, 2009 through May 16, 2010 |
[**] | |||

[**] | |||
May 17, 2011 through May 16, 2012 |
[**] | |||
May 17, 2012 through May 16, 2013 |
[**] | |||
Following May 16, 2013 |
[**] |
1. | The Parties shall calculate the average of the Charges for the [**] calendar months prior to the effective date of termination to determine an average monthly charge for such period (the Average Monthly Charge); |
Page 1
2. | The Average Monthly Charge shall be divided by twelve (12) and multiplied by a number equal to twelve (12) less than the number of months remaining until May 17, 2014. As an example, if termination was to occur on March 17, 2010(with thus, 50 months remaining until May 17, 2014), then the Fixed Termination Charge would be calculated as follows [(Average Monthly Charge/12)*(50-12)] so if the Average Monthly Charge was $[**], then the Fixed Termination Charge would be $[**] divided by 12 [**] multiplied by (50-12) or 38, such that the Fixed Termination Charge would be [**]. |

3.2 | Travel Reservations | ||
Vendors are expected to procure the most cost efficient travel arrangements, preferably equivalent to the AT&T discount rate. AT&T does not reimburse for travel purchased with prepaid air passes. | |||
3.3 | Travel Expense Reimbursement | ||
Vendor travel expenses incurred for company business are reimbursable only as specified in these guidelines. Travel expenses may include the following: |
| transportation (airfare or other commercial transportation, car rental, personal auto mileage, taxi and shuttle service) | ||
| meals and lodging | ||
| parking and tolls | ||
| tips/porter service (if necessary and reasonable) |
3.4 | Air Travel Arrangements | ||
Vendors must select lowest logical airfare (fares available in the market at the time of booking, preferably well in advance of trip to attain lowest possible airfare). Vendors shall book coach class fares for all domestic travel at all times. First class bookings are not reimbursable. Vendors can request business class when a single segment of flight time (in air time excluding layovers or ground time) is greater than 5 hours, or when flights are intercontinental. |
Page 4
AT&T has established Market-Based Room Rate Guidelines for vendors to reference when making
hotel reservations (see Addendum A). Vendors are expected to abide by these guidelines when
making hotel arrangements. AT&T will only reimburse vendors up to the established room rate
guideline in each market, or for actual hotel lodging charges incurred, whichever is less. There must be a strong business justification for incurring any cost for internet access, and a request for reimbursement must be accompanied by a detailed explanation regarding reason for charge. |
|||
Note: Vendors must indicate the number of room nights on the transaction line when invoicing for reimbursement of hotel expenses. Copies of all hotel bills must be made available for any invoice containing lodging charges. | |||
3.6 | Ground Transportation | ||
While away from their home location overnight, vendors are expected to utilize rapid transit or local shuttle service. If the hotel provides a complimentary shuttle, vendors are to use this service before paying for transportation. If complimentary service is not provided a taxi or other local transportation is reimbursable as a business expense. Tips provided to taxi drivers cannot exceed 15% of the value of the total fare | |||
A rental car is appropriate when the anticipated business cost is less than that of other available public transportation. Except to the extent necessary to accommodate several travelers and/or luggage requirements, vendors will not be reimbursed for automobile rentals other than economy or mid-sized/intermediate models. | |||
Loss Damage Waiver and Extended Liability Coverage are not considered reimbursable.
Prepaid fuel or refueling charges at the time of return are not reimbursable. Rental cars should be refueled before returning to the rental company, since gas purchased through the rental company carries an expensive refueling service charge. |
|||
3.7 | Use of Personal Vehicle | ||
When use of personal vehicle is required, the currently applicable IRS mileage rate for miles driven for the business portion of the trip should be the maximum used to determine the amount to be reimbursed. | |||
3.8 | Parking | ||
If airport parking is necessary, vendors must use long term parking facilities. Additional costs for short term, valet or covered parking are not reimbursable. | |||
3.9 | Entertainment | ||

3.10 | Laundry and Cleaning |
Page 5
3.11 | Communications | ||
The actual cost of landline telephone calls for AT&T business are reimbursable. The use of AT&T products is required when available. | |||
AT&T will not reimburse vendors for cell phone bills. With prior consent of the sponsoring AT&T Senior Manager, only individual calls that exceed a vendors rate plan that are necessary to conduct business for AT&T may be reimbursed. | |||
Charges for high speed internet access are not reimbursable. | |||
3.12 | Business Meals (Travel and Non-Travel) | ||
Vendors are expected to find reasonably priced dining alternatives. As a general rule, vendors are expected to spend $42.00 or less per day inclusive of tax and gratuity. This includes all meals, beverages and refreshments purchased during the day. Requests for reimbursement should break out the amount for meals and list the related number of travel days. If breakfast is offered as part of the hotel accommodation rate, no additional reimbursement will be permitted for breakfast. Vendors may not submit expenses to cover meals or expenses for an AT&T employee, whether in a home location or on official travel. | |||
AT&T managers authorizing invoices will be held accountable for ensuring that vendors are following this policy and are spending Company funds economically. | |||
3.13 | Flowers, Greeting Cards, Gifts and Incentive Awards | ||
The cost of gifts, flowers, birthday lunches, or greeting cards is considered a personal expense and is not reimbursable. For example, vendors making a donation or providing a gift for a fund-raiser for AT&T may not submit such an expense to AT&T for reimbursement. | |||
3.14 | Loss or Damage to Personal Property | ||
The Company assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to a vendors personal property during business functions or hours. | |||

In addition, the parties hereby agree to cooperate with each other to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision which will achieve the same result (to the maximum legal extent) as the provision determined to be invalid or unenforceable. | |
