that if fees for the licensing of Software and rates for the provision of
Services during any renewal term are not specified in a Contract, the fees

EDI Guidelines
--------------
Lucent Technologies has partnered with Sorvive Technologies to develop and
certify a web-based facility that allows our current non-EDI suppliers to
utilize a web-based service to electronically send and receive business
documents. The process will include purchase orders, purchase order
acknowledgments, shipment notifications, invoices, remittance advices (and EFT
payment), simple forecasts, demand-pull and consignment planning schedules.
After Company's requests that Supplier implement an EDI system, Company will
arrange for Sorvive Technologies to contact you to begin the registration and
setup process. Sorvive Technologies will then notify Company to setup your
account to be routed to the WEB-EDI facilities. Sorvive will train your
employee/s on the use of the WEB-EDI forms. Upon completion of setup you can
begin using the WEB-EDI facilities; it is anticipated that all of the above
tasks will be completed within 1-3 days elapsed time. There are no requirements
to install special equipment or software. All you will need is a WEB Browser
and access to the Internet.
For more information on the Sorvive WEB-EDI offering, you can access their
website at xxx.xxxxxxx-xxxx.xxx.
