PARAGRAPH 6 - COMPETITION
A. NetSolve and AT&T shall not be precluded from competing against each other
for the same customer opportunity. However, (1) NetSolve shall not use customer
information that it obtains as a result of performing services hereunder or the
network designs developed hereunder to compete with AT&T or others; (2) NetSolve
shall not disclose such customer information or network designs to its
employees, agents, subcontractors or suppliers who compete with AT&T or others;

B. Additionally, unless AT&T has given NetSolve prior written- consent, NetSolve
shall not disclose to customers, potential customers or others that NetSolve is
a supplier of contract services to AT&T. Such disclosure shall not be prohibited
if NetSolve is required in a judicial, administrative or governmental proceeding

Invoices shall be sent to AT&T at the address shown above, directed to the
personal attention of AT&T's Contract Representative, or other representative as

If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement or its breach, and if
such dispute cannot be settled through good faith and negotiation of the
parties, the parties agree to submit the dispute to a sole mediator selected by
the parties or, at any time, at the option of a party, to non-binding mediation

be referred within thirty (30) days of the mediation to binding arbitration by a
sole arbitrator pursuant to the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. Judgment on

judicial, administrative or governmental proceeding to disclose any such
information, but NetSolve shall provide AT&T with prompt notice of such
requirement so that AT&T may seek an appropriate protective order. If the

Agreement.
PARAGRAPH 24 - TERMINATION
A. This Agreement may be terminated: (1) at any time by AT&T upon twenty-four
hours' written notice in the event of NetSolve's bankruptcy, liquidation,
insolvency or acquisition by a competitor of AT&T [such competitors include, but

LCI (Litel), MCI, NYNEX, Pacific Telesis Group, Southwestern ▇▇▇▇, Sprint, U.S.

notice by either party if the other party fails to perform any material term or
condition of this Agreement and does not remedy the failure within the notice
period.
B. Beginning January 1, 1998, a ten-month ramp-down period will take place. If
AT&T terminates this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph
AT&T PROPRIETARY
-8-
26(A)(1) or (2), there will be no ramp-down period. If NetSolve terminates this
Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 26(A)(2), there will be no ramp-down period,
however, NetSolve shall be entitled to payment based upon the amount that would
have been received had the ramp-down period begun as of the effective date of
termination. During the ramp-down period, at AT&T's discretion, existing Router
Sites will be transitioned to other network management centers. The number of
Router Sites that will be transitioned will be based on a percentage of the
number of Router Sites existing at the beginning of the ramp-down period.
The following table illustrates the minimum target percentage of Router Sites
that will be supported by NetSolve during the ramp-down period. The actual
number of Router Sites that will be supported by NetSolve during the ramp-down
will be determined by AT&T, but if the actual percentage of Router Sites
supported is less than the minimum target percentage of Router Sites to be
supported, AT&T shall pay NetSolve based upon the minimum targeted percentage.
However, AT&T shall not be responsible to pay for minimum targeted percentage
shortfalls resulting from customers' terminations of Router Sites.

intellectual property right, is either granted or implied by the conveying of
Information to such party.
PARAGRAPH 27 - WARRANTY

This Attachment for Contract Services ("Attachment I") to the Agreement covers
CO FRAD Implementation and Management Services ("Services") that NetSolve shall
provide to AT&T in support of AT&T's CO FRAD Service offering, as requested by
AT&T and as described herein. This Attachment is an integral part of the
Agreement and shall be governed by the terms of the Agreement. In the event of
any conflict between the terms of this Attachment and the terms of the
Agreement, the terms of this Attachment shall prevail with respect to the
Services provided under this Attachment I.
For purposes of this Attachment I the following Paragraphs in the Agreement are
deleted in their entirety and replaced with the Paragraphs below:
PARAGRAPH I - STATEMENT OF WORK
NetSolve shall provide Services to AT&T in support of AT&T's CO FRAD Service
offering in accordance with the "Statement of Work," Attachments I-1, I-2 and I-
3 hereto. Services shall be available to AT&T in the United States and Canada.
Modifications to this Statement of Work and its requirements as set forth in
Attachments I-1, I-2 and I-3 may be requested from time to time by AT&T without
the need for a formal amendment to Attachment I-1, I-2 or I-3. The pricing
contained herein shall apply to Services requested or any modification, provided
that the modifications requested do not require the furnishing of more material
or labor by NetSolve or longer times for performance of services. NetSolve
shall immediately notify AT&T's Contract Representative, in writing, of any
requested modification which NetSolve feels will require an increase to the
prices contained in Paragraph 4 - Payment for Services, and shall furnish the
amount of such proposed increase in such writing. Following delivery of such
notice, NetSolve shall not proceed with Services for any such modification until
AT&T and NetSolve Contract Representatives agree, in writing, to the appropriate
charges.
"Orders" for Services pursuant to this Attachment I shall be sent to Netsolve
via an Application Profile Document (APD) form (shown in Attachment I-4).
Monthly recurring charges shall commence on the start date of Services as

on a percentage of the number of ports existing at the beginning of the
ramp-down period.
The following targets represent the minimum percentage of ports that must
be supported by NetSolve during the ramp-down period, beginning the first
month of the period:
Ramp Down
Period Minimum Target Percentages to be Supported by NetSolve by
------ ---------------------------------------------------------
the end of the applicable three month period
--------------------------------------------
Months 1-3 85% of the number of ports existing at the beginning of
the ramp-down period
Months 4-6 60% of the number of ports existing at the beginning of
the ramp-down period
Months 7-9 30% of the number of ports existing at the beginning of
the ramp-down period
Months 10-12 0% of the number of ports existing at the beginning of the
ramp-down period
For example: If NetSolve is supporting 1000 ports at the beginning of the
ramp-down period, NetSolve must support 850 ports by the end of the third
month, 600 by the end of the sixth month, etc.
The actual number of ports that will be supported by AT&T during the
ramp-down period will be determined by AT&T, at its discretion, but if
the actual percentage of ports supported by NetSolve is less than the
minimum target percentages stated above, AT&T shall pay NetSolve based
upon the minimum targeted percentage at the rates established herein.
Such payment shall constitute a full and complete discharge of Company's
obligation.
For example: If AT&T decides that NetSolve will only support 600 ports in
month three, AT&T shall pay NetSolve for 850 ports in month three.

At any time on or after July 1, 1999, NetSolve will have the right to refuse
NINS Managed Router Services (MRS) customer network business with respect to new
customers if AT&T notifies NetSolve that it intends to terminate this Amendment
No. 5.
PARAGRAPH 4 - PAYMENT FOR SERVICES
A. For services performed by NetSolve under this Amendment No. 5, AT&T will
pay NetSolve a monthly recurring charge for each Router Site having a total of
three or more WAN and / or LAN connections ("Hub Site") and a monthly recurring
charge for each Router Site having a total of less than three WAN and / or LAN
connections ("Non-Hub Site"). However, if a customer's network does not have at
least one Hub Site, NetSolve will be paid the monthly Hub Site recurring charge
for one of the customer's Router Sites and the monthly Non-Hub Site recurring
charge for each of the customer's other Router Sites. The monthly recurring
charges are set forth in Table I below and applicable Discounts are set forth in
Table 2 below, both of which will be applied retroactively to all business (both
existing business as of the Effective Date and new business added after the
Effective Date) as of the Effective Date. In addition, AT&T will pay certain one
time, non-recurring charges and Time and Material (T&M) charges as set forth in
Table I below.
B. Prices for the services in Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, and 11 of Table I
below are fixed for the term of this Amendment No. 5. Prices for Items 6, 7, 8,
and 12 may be changed by NetSolve at any time upon sixty (60) days written
notice but only if NetSolve's suppliers raise the underlying prices to NetSolve,
and the dollar amount of such increase will not exceed the net dollar increase
to NetSolve. In the event of a price change for Non-Recurring charges, orders
received prior to receipt by AT&T of the notice of the price change will be
provided at the lower of the new price or the previous price. Pricing for
equipment maintenance or other similar recurring charges which are provided by
third parties shall be applied to orders previously received based on the timing
of the price increase or decrease to NetSolve from the third party, which will
generally be on the anniversary of the start of service each year. If a price
increase exceeds 5% Netsolve shall use reasonable efforts to find substitute

assigns (all hereinafter referred to in this clause as AT&T) from and against

reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise out of or result from any proved or
unproved claim of infringement of any patent, copyright trademark or trade
secret right, or other intellectual property right or any other proprietary
interest to the extent arising from the use of any product or service provided
hereunder, and will pay any judgment rendered on such claim (each of such claims
called an "INFRINGEMENT CLAIM"), provided AT&T provides NetSolve prompt notice
of any such claim, fully cooperates in the defense and settlement thereof, and
gives NetSolve full control of the defense and settlement thereof. NetSolve
further agrees that in the event that a lawsuit includes other claims in
addition to the indemnified infringement claims, AT&T shall retain sole control
of such other claims.
The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to claims arising from or in
connection with: (i) equipment or products not bearing a NetSolve trademark
(such as Cisco routers, Bay Networks hubs and other third party equipment); (ii)
the combination of any product or service (including any Service) provided by
NetSolve with any service, product, data, process or material not obtained from
NetSolve hereunder, or (iii) any claim that could have been avoided if AT&T or
its customer had discontinued allegedly infringing activity after AT&T has been
advised of the alleged infringement and has failed to follow remedial actions
proposed by NetSolve. If any claim under exceptions (i) or (ii) is brought
against NetSolve, AT&T agrees to indemnify and defend NetSolve with respect to
each such claim (also called an "INFRINGEMENT CLAIM"). If an Infringement Claim
arises solely from NetSolve's adherence to AT&T's written instructions regarding
services or tangible or intangible goods provided by NetSolve ("ITEMS") and if
the Items are not (1) commercial items available on the open market or the same
as such items, or (2) items of NetSolve's designated origin, design or
selection, AT&T shall indemnify NetSolve. AT&T or NetSolve shall defend or
settle, at its own expense any demand, action or suit on any Infringement Claim
against the other for which it is the indemnitor under the preceding provisions
and each shall timely notify

party's total aggregate liability, for direct damages, Indirect Damages
or otherwise, arising from or in connection with such breach shall not
exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000) in total; and (ii) damages

NETWORK AVAILABILITY METRICS
For purposes of these sections the following are defined as:
Network Component: all NetSolve-provided or approved components, in a network
designed and mutually agreed upon utilizing service and equipment providers
approved by NetSolve, including the frame relay ports and PVCs, local access to
AT&T's frame relay switch. T1 multiplexers, CSU/DSUs, routers (to the router LAN
port), and cabling between such units, which are covered by Services under a CSO
accepted by NetSolve.
Link or Network Link: the logical connection between two customer sites covered
by NetSolve Services and consists of all of the Network Components required for
connectivity between such sites.
Downtime: the total time in a given month, measured in minutes for each Network
Link, that a Network Link is not available to the customer. For purposes of
determining whether the Network Availability target is met, Downtime excludes
outages resulting from (i) any, operator error, improper act, or omission of
AT&T, AT&T's end user customer, or the affiliates, representatives, invitees,
licensees, vendors, or the like of either of them; (ii) inaccurate information
provided to NetSolve by AT&T or AT&T's end user customer; (iii) failure of any
facilities, equipment services, or the like which are not Network Components,
including but not limited to LAN components; (iv) failure of AT&T or AT&T's end
user customer to perform any of their respective responsibilities under the
Agreement or this Attachment A; (v) unavailability of AT&T or AT&T's end user
customer personnel to grant NetSolve access to facilities as required for
NetSolve to perform its responsibilities; (vi) preventive or scheduled
maintenance activities of AT&T, AT&T's end user customer, or any other third
party not a sub-contractor or otherwise directed or consented to by NetSolve; or
(vii) any large scale outage of the AT&T network or a network segment, or a
significant portion of either thereof. This time will not be excluded from the
reported DMOQ, however this time will be excluded from the calculated credits.
Network Availability: the aggregate link minutes in one month (links multiplied
by minutes) minus the Downtime minutes, all divided by the aggregate link
minutes in one month (links multiplied by minutes) expressed as a percentage for
each month. Network Availability includes the physical layer, the data link
layer and the network layer of the Network, provided that the source of the
problem(s) is a Network Component.
PRO-ACTIVE MONITORING METRICS
NetSolve is responsible for first contact with customers for proactive trouble
monitoring for any customer's network. Pro-Active Monitoring is defined to mean
contacting the customer before the customer calls in and, in any event, within
30 minutes of receipt of alarm (managed devices only). This metric does not
apply in the event of a large-scale network outage which would affect more than
20% of the customers being managed by NetSolve.
INSTALLATION METRICS On-Time Installation (First Sites) - Since Installations
and MACs are scheduled by NetSolve Project Implementation Managers with the end-
user customer, it is imperative that the service provider arrive on the
scheduled date and time. Arrival at the customer premise must be in ample time
to allow the installation to be completed successfully and service turned up on
the scheduled date. On- Time Installation (First Sites) means the customer's
initial two sites were successfully installed on the scheduled installation
date. The scheduled installation date is determined by the later of (i) 60 days,
from contract
12/17/97
-17- Agreement #GSA005D
Page 17 of 31
acceptance by AT&T; (ii) the customer requested due date; or (iii) 50 days from
receipt by NetSolve of a CSO executed by AT&T.
On-Time Installation (Overall) - On time Installation (Overall) means all of the
customer's sites installed after the initial two sites were successfully
installed on the scheduled installation date.
MAINTENANCE METRICS
Mean Time To Restore (MTTR) - Overall shall be defined as the arithmetic mean of
the time to clear trouble tickets (utilizing Downtime eligible for calculating
credits as the measure of Time To Restore).
Mean Time To Restore (MTTR) With Dispatch shall be defined as the arithmetic
mean of the time to clear trouble tickets (utilizing Downtime eligible for
calculating credits as the measure of Time To Restore) when dispatching of a
technician (LEC or equipment maintenance) is required to restore the customer's
network to satisfactory operating condition.
CALL RECEIPT
NetSolve shall produce monthly reporting showing the Average time MNS customers
wait in queue to be picked up for trouble reporting. This metric does not apply
in the event of a large-scale network outage which would affect more than 20% of
the customers being managed by Netsolve.
CREDITS FOR MISSED DMOQ'S
Beginning sixty days after the effective date of Amendment No. 5, if NetSolve
fails to meet the target monthly objectives in any month, NetSolve shall provide
AT&T with a credit in each succeeding month that the target objective is not
met. The credits associated with each performance metric are set forth in the
following table. In no event will the credits for Network Availability, Pro-
Active Monitoring, Mean Time to Restore Overall, or Mean Time to Restore with
Dispatch with respect to a customer site in any given month exceed the total net
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to AT&T by NetSolve for that month for the charges for the affected
router managed hub sites and router managed non-hub sites set forth in Items 3
and 4 of Table 1 in Paragraph 4 of Amendment No. 5. In no event will the credits
for On-Time Installation (First Sites), On-Time Installation (Overall), and
Customer Satisfaction Metrics - Installation (below) exceed the total net
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to AT&T by NetSolve for the charges for installation set forth in Item
6 of Table I in Paragraph 4 of Amendment No. 5.
No credit will be issued by NetSolve for any DMOQ for a particular customer to
the extent the missed DMOQ is caused by a negligent act, omission or failure of
AT&T or its affiliates, service supplier, or end user customer. In the event any
act, omission, or failure of AT&T's service suppliers (but not AT&T or its
affiliates) can be reasonably managed by NetSolve to increase the DMOQ, NetSolve
will attempt to work with that service supplier to increase that supplier's
performance if such work does not, in NetSolve's sole opinion, significantly
increase NetSolve's costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NETWORK AVAILABILITY If NetSolve does not achieve a Network
Availability rate of ninety-nine and one-half
percent (99.5%) for any customer's network during
any two (2) months of a rolling twelve (12) month
period, NetSolve shall provide AT&T with a one
(1) month credit for the net monthly fees for the
charges set forth in Items 3 and 4 of Table 1
Paragraph 4 of Amendment No. 5 for all the Router
Sites associated with the customer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION METRICS
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION REQUIREMENTS - If any NetSolve activity ( installation or
maintenance) is concluded by any AT&T end-user to be unsatisfactory, and AT&T
provides a credit for such performance, the following credit is due to AT&T. No
credit shall be due to AT&T if the service failure is due solely to any act,
omission, or failure of AT&T or its service suppliers set forth below. If the
service failure is due in part to any act, omission or failure of NetSolve or
NetSolve suppliers, and AT&T or AT&T suppliers, the credit should be reduced by
50% of the amount calculated below.

ATTACHMENT H-1
MRS PROPOSAL STATEMENT OF WORK
1. OVERVIEW
NetSolve and AT&T Commercial & Middle markets (CMM) wish to streamline the cycle
time, and improve accuracy in the design and pricing of the new bundles for
Managed Router Services. NetSolve will develop a network design and price quote
for opportunities generated by AT&T's CMID sales organization that fit within
the new MRS bundles.
2. NETSOLVE PRE-SALES RESPONSIBILITIES
2.1 INTERVIEW PROSPECT
Pre-qualification forms for MRS bundled services will be sent to NetSolve. Upon
receiving a pre-qualification form, NetSolve will contact a prospect and conduct
a technical interview to gather the necessary information to design and price a
Managed Router bundle. The initial prospect call will be made within one
business day of receipt of the pre-qualification form. Although NetSolve will
attempt to contact the prospect within one business day, the prospect's schedule
and knowledge of their network dictate the actual time required for interview
completion. If NetSolve is unsuccessful in obtaining an interview schedule with
the prospect after three attempts (including voice mail), the qualification form
will be returned to the appropriate DNAE and DNSM for follow up.
2.2 DETERMINE SOLUTION FIT
NetSolve will utilize a standard set of criteria included in Exhibit 1 in order
to determine the proper solution. If the solution is determined to fall outside
one of the bundles, NetSolve will forward the opportunity back to the DNAE to be
sent to his/her Data Network Consultant (DNC for completion.
2.3 COMPLETE STANDARD MNS PRICING AND DESIGN
NetSolve will complete an appropriate network design and pricing within 48 hours
for non-SNA offer bundles, and 96 hours for other offer bundles. The timing on
this deliverable is measured from the completion of the prospect interview. The
pricing includes quotes for management, equipment, cables, installation, and
maintenance. Equipment pricing will include terms indicated on the pre-
qualification form.
2.4 CREATE NETWORK MAP
NetSolve will create a network map that accompanies the pricing information in
2.3.
2.5 PROVIDE DNAE CHECKLIST
NetSolve will include the appropriate DNAE checklist with each pricing, and
design package.
3. NETSOLVE POST SALES RESPONSIBILITIES
3.1 COMPLETE AND FORWARD CUSTOMER IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
After AT&T has received a contract for a Managed Router Service solution,
NetSolve will complete and forward a Project Summary Description to facilitate
the transfer of information to the appropriate "service factory." A copy of this
implementation plan is provided in Exhibit 2.
3.2 SALES PROCESS PERFORMANCE REPORTING
NetSolve will track and report on all the bundled Managed Router Service quoting
activity for the Commercial and Middle Markets organization completed by
NetSolve. Monthly and calendar year to date statistics will be warehoused and
reported. NetSolve will report the following metrics by service product type and
total:
. Number of Proposals
. Number of Sites
. Closure percentage
. Proposal aging histogram
. Interval from proposal information release to contract sign
. Interval from pre-qualification arrival to interview
. Interval from interview to proposal
3.3 UPDATE PRODUCT FEATURES AND PRICING
NetSolve will update product features and pricing within three business days of
receipt from AT&T. If AT&T should release changes on a more periodic basis than
monthly, then AT&T and NetSolve agree to negotiate an appropriate increase in
the fee per proposal.

4. COMMUNICATIONS
4.1 NETSOLVE/SALES FORCE
NetSolve will communicate initially with the field using ATTmail and Word
documents in RTF format. In the long term, the intention is to use a Web
interface to communicate to the field from a pre-qualification form and proposal
response perspective.
4.2 NETSOLVE FACTORIES
The Project Summary Description included in Exhibit 2 will be the primary method
for interfacing the quoting capability of NetSolve with other AT&T MNS
factories.
4.3 NETSOLVE/PRODUCT HOUSE
NetSolve will interface at least quarterly with the AT&T individuals and
organizations responsible for the MRS family in order to stay current with
future directions and strategy.
5. AT&T RESPONSIBILITIES
5.1 PRE-SALES
AT&T DNAEs will determine whether the solution to be offered fits within a
standard MRS bundle prior to sending the pre-qualification form to NetSolve. If,
after NetSolve contacts the customer to develop the network design, it is
determined that the proposal will not fit into a standard bundle, then NetSolve
will contact the DNAE to explain the situation, and pass along all new
information gathered. The DNAE is then responsible for working with an AT&T DNC
to develop the design and price quote.
