(1) The benefits and/or services are customary and necessary.
(2) The cost of such benefits and/or services if contracted for on an annual basis is greater than the sum of the cost of such benefits and/or services over the term of the multi-year contract plus the costs of incurring debt.
(3) There is no reasonable commercial alternative to obtaining such cost savings for the benefits and/or services other than on a multi-year contract basis.
