	6.	 	PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:






	 	6.1	 	Cingular and StarTek have developed the standards set forth in this SOW,
(hereinafter “Performance Standards”) to ensure the delivery of high quality, efficient
customer service. Effective upon signature of this SOW by both parties (“Execution
Date”), Performance Standard measurements for Sites existing on the Execution Date shall
begin the month following the Execution Date, or for the Performance Standards related
to First Call Resolution and Overall Customer Satisfaction, the next full or prorated
per complete months remaining, as the case may be, calendar quarter. Performance
Standards for Sites opening after the Execution Date shall be applicable to Services
performed from a particular Site/Line Group ninety (90) days after Site opening, or as
outlined in the Performance Measurements attached hereto as Exhibit C. Furthermore,
anytime a particular Site/Line Group increases by more than [*] over a two (2) month
period, Performance Standards shall not apply with respect to such Site/Line Group until
ninety (90) 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 Cingular invoice credits and StarTek earned debits or bonuses
with respect to such Performance Standards 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 SOW. Any invoice credits owed or debits
earned by StarTek shall only apply to the Services invoiced for the particular Site/Line
Group subject to Section 1.2 herein for which it was measured and shall be assessed to
Billable Hours only. Any invoice debits earned by StarTek will be used to offset
Cingular invoice credits only except for Section 6.3.3 Occupancy which may earn a true
debit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, StarTek may earn a Bonus subject to Sections
6.3.1 and 6.3.2. Cingular invoice credits, StarTek earned debits to Cingular invoice
credits, and bonuses will be calculated monthly and shall be applied on a quarterly
basis.
	 
	 	6.2	 	Call Volume Forecasting / Staffing. Each month on a by Site/Line Group basis,
Cingular shall provide StarTek three (3) written forecasts to be used by StarTek as a
guide for recruitment, planning and staffing activities. The three (3) written
forecasts are as follows:






	 	1.	 	[*] with the required number of Full Time Equivalents
(“FTEs”) by Site/Line Group for recruitment purposes
(“[*]-Day Commitment”)
	 
	 	2.	 	[*] with the estimated daily number of calls by
Site/Line Group for planning purposes
	 
	 	3.	 	[*] with daily call
arrival patterns by Site/Line Group






StarTek shall provide FTE staffing pursuant to the mutually agreed upon
[*] based upon the [*], which will include an assumption of
[*] of initial Program training and [*] of Nesting, by
Site/Line Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Cingular
requests training to extend beyond [*] of initial Program training and
[*] of Nesting and StarTek determines that the change will affect
StarTek’s ability to staff accurately, the parties shall address the change
subject to Exhibit 5 of the Agreement.




The mutually agreed upon [*] represents a commitment by Cingular and
StarTek with respect to staffing levels. Once the [*] is agreed to,
Cingular agrees to compensate StarTek for the Billable Hours incurred for the
applicable months which shall be no less than [*] of the [*],
and it is StarTek’ responsibility to staff to the [*] as mutually agreed
upon. In cases where StarTek has duplicate Line Groups across Sites, StarTek
reserves the right to increase or decrease volumes at a Site level as long as the
[*] remains unchanged




Each [*] will be prepared on a Site/Line Group basis in [*]
intervals and will include estimated call volumes, estimated average handle times,
estimated shrinkage percentages and, when available, any other information which
would be relevant for StarTek in providing the Services.




Both Cingular and StarTek will need to agree upon the volume forecasts and related
staffing when the [*] from the previous [*], as it may require
additional new hire training. The parties shall mutually agree upon adjusted
staffing for the modified forecast volumes pursuant to Exhibit 5 of the Agreement.

sizes of less than [*] shall be excluded from the quarterly measurement.
Cingular invoice credits and StarTek earned offset debits will be applied at the
end of the quarter, by Site/Line Group pursuant to Exhibit C. New sites will be
measured [*] after the first call received in Production. Converted sites (Sites
subject to Conversion training as described in Exhibit B herein) will be measured
[*] after the first call received in Production. The Cingular invoice credits
and StarTek earned offset debits will be applied in the following fashion based
on FCR scores:





	 	 	 
	below [*]% of Like sites

	 	[*]% Cingular invoice credit
	[*]-[*]% of Like Sites

	 	[*]% Cingular invoice credit
	[*]-[*]% of Like Sites

	 	 	 	A [*] may apply on a per Site basis if stretch targets are achieved for both
FCR and Overall Satisfaction (“Bonus”). The stretch target for First Call
Resolution is [*] or better. The Bonus shall be calculated as follows: 1)
The monthly invoice credit(s) /debit(s) shall be calculated (“Offset Result”),
then (2) The Bonus shall be applied to the Offset Result.
	 
	 	6.3.2	 	Overall Customer Satisfaction (“OCS”): will be measured
quarterly by Site by the Telegence and CARE Line Groups which shall be considered
one (1) Line Group for the purposes of OCS stack ranking and ranked against Like
Sites contingent up a sample size of at least [*] per Site. Sample sizes of less
than [*] shall be excluded from the quarterly measurement. Cingular invoice
credits and StarTek earned offset debits will be applied at the end of the
quarter, by Site/Line Group pursuant to Exhibit C. New sites will be measured [*]
after the first call received in Production. Converted sites (Sites subject to
Conversion training as described in Exhibit B.a herein) will be measured [*]
after the first call received in Production. The Cingular invoice credits and
StarTek earned offset debits will be applied in the following fashion based on
Overall Customer Satisfaction scores:





	 	 	 
	below [*]% of Like Sites

	 	[*]% Cingular invoice credit
	[*]-[*]% of Like Sites

	 	[*]% Cingular invoice credit

	 	 	 	Not to exceed [*]% Cingular invoice credit.

A [*] bonus may apply on a per Site basis if stretch targets are achieved for
both FCR and Overall Satisfaction collectively (“Bonus”). The stretch target
for Overall Customer Satisfaction is [*] or better. The Bonus shall be
calculated as follows: 1) The monthly invoice credit(s) /debit(s) shall be
calculated (“Offset Result”), then (2) The Bonus shall be applied to the Offset
Result.
	 
	 	6.3.3	 	Occupancy Rate Target of
[*]-[*]%: The Occupancy Rate will be measured
monthly and shall be determined by subtracting total idle time from total logged
in time and dividing the difference by total logged in time. The Occupancy
Performance Standard will be waived in the event that the actual Occupancy Rate
is less than Cingular’s 30-Day Rolling Forecast, which shall include the
forecasted modification training for the month, by [*] or more, or if the actual
Occupancy Rate is less than the 30-Day Commitment by [*] or more. Any individual
days where the actual call volumes are less than the 30-Day Rolling Forecast by
[*] or more and the Occupancy target is missed will be excluded from the monthly
calculation of Occupancy. The Cingular invoice credits and StarTek earned
debits will be applied in the following fashion based on Occupancy Rate scores:





	 	 	 
	below [*]%

	 	[*]% Cingular invoice credit
	above [*]%

	 	[*]% StarTek earned debit







	 	 	 	Not to exceed [*]% Cingular invoice credit.
	 
	 	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, StarTek may only earn a debit for Occupancy if
it is staffed to at least [*] of the mutually agreed upon 90 Day Commitment.
	 
	 	6.3.4	 	Productivity: The measurement for productivity will be
measured monthly and shall be calculated as follows: Billable Hours minus breaks
divided by Billable Hours. Productivity will be waived if voluntary go home time
associated with low volumes drives lower productivity. The Cingular invoice
credits will be applied in the following fashion based on Productivity scores:





	 	 	 
	below [*]%

	 	[*]% Cingular invoice credit







	 	6.3.5	 	Call Transfer Rate for Telegence and CARE Site/Line Groups
only: Target of [*] or less measured monthly. Call Transfer Rate will be
determined by dividing the total number of transferred calls by the total number
of calls answered by a live CSR. The parties acknowledge and agree that StarTek
shall strive to meet the [*] goal set forth herein but shall not be subject to
material default of this Program, the SOW or the Agreement for any failure to
meet the target. The Call Transfer Rate Performance Standard will be waived if
the average of other Like Sites is greater than or equal to [*]. Change
management procedures set forth in Exhibit 5 of the Agreement will be invoked for
process changes directly impacting Call Transfer Rates.





	 	 	 
	above [*]%

	 	6.3.6	 	Average Handle Time (“AHT”): The AHT target by Site/Line Group
shall be provided by Cingular as part of the 30-Day Rolling Forecast and shall be
measured monthly as it applies to material breach. The AHT Performance Standard
will be waived if the actual AHT is greater than [*] over the target provided in
the 30-Day Rolling Forecast or if the average of other Like Sites is [*] or
greater. The AHT target provided in the 30-Day Rolling Forecast will be subject
to material breach, however, will not be subject to credits or debits.
	 
	 	 	 	With respect to credits and debits, Cingular may receive the invoice credit set
forth herein in the event the monthly AHT measurement is [*] or greater.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the AHT target shall be waived as it pertains to
credits and debits if the actual AHT is greater than [*] over the target
provided in the 30-Day Rolling Forecast or if the event the average of other
Like Sites is [*] or greater. Change management procedures set forth in
Exhibit 5 of the Agreement will be invoked if AHT targets need to change. The
Cingular invoice credits will be applied in the following fashion:





	 	 	 
	above [*]

	 	[*]% Cingular invoice credit
