1.0 DEFINITIONS.
Added Value is the non-Cisco component portion of Integrator's total
solution, which Integrator provides to End User. Examples of Added
Value are pre- and post-sales network design, configuration,
trouble-shooting, and support and the sale of complementary products
and services that comprise a significant portion of the total revenues
received by Integrator from an End User of Cisco Products. Integrator
acknowledges that telesales, catalog sales, and sales over the Internet
do not include Added Value if inbound communications from the
prospective End User purchaser were prompted by something other than a
face-to-face interaction between Integrator's sales representative and
such prospective End User. Integrator further acknowledges that
providing financing options is not considered Added Value.
An Approved Source means (a) Cisco or (b) a distributor that is
authorized by Cisco to redistribute Products and Services within the
Territory to Integrator.
CCO is Cisco's suite of on-line services and information at
xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx.

to Integrator employees who successfully complete the then-current CCIE
Program offered by Cisco.
Documentation is user manuals, training materials, Product descriptions
and specifications, technical manuals, license agreements, supporting
materials and other printed information relating to Products and/or
Services offered by Cisco, whether distributed in print, electronic,
CD-ROM or video format.
End User is the final purchaser or licensee which has acquired Products
or Services for its own internal use and not for resale, remarketing or
distribution. An entity which performs stocking, sparing or warehousing
activities for third parties or procures Cisco Services or Software for
delivery to third parties, is not an End User.
Hardware is the tangible product made available to Integrator.
Internal Use is any use of a Product or Service which is outside the
definition of Resale provided below.
Price List is Cisco's published global price list.
Product means, individually or collectively as appropriate, Hardware,
licensed Software, Documentation, developed products, supplies,
accessories, and other commodities related to any of the foregoing,
listed on the then current Price List.
Purchase Order is a written or electronic order from Integrator to
Cisco for Hardware, Software or support services therefor to be
purchased, licensed or provided under this Agreement.
Resale is any of the following sales or dispositions of a Product or

the right to use the Software, and, for Services, the entitlement to
receive such Services) to the End User of such Product or Service; (b)
transfer of title (or, for Software, a license conferring the right to
use the Software, and, for Services, the entitlement to receive such
Services) to a financial intermediary such as a leasing company, even
if such leasing company is affiliated with Integrator, where the
Product or Service is used by an unaffiliated End User; or (c)
retention of title (or, for Software, a license conferring the right to
use the Software,
Page 2 of 54
and, for Services, the entitlement to receive such Services) by
Integrator, but only where the Product or Service is deployed
(including in connection with hosting, outsourcing or provisioned
services offered by Integrator) for the use of End Users who are not
affiliated with Integrator and who contract with Integrator for the
provision of such services. In no event shall the term Resale include
use of a Product or Service for the provision of network services to
the general public. The verb "Resell' means to engage in Resale. For
Special License Software, the transfer of a license conferring the
right to use such Software means a Sublicense.
Sales Expert is the status that is granted to Integrator employees who
successfully complete the then-current Sales Expert training curriculum
offered by Cisco.

for the Products or Services must be, or to limit Integrator's
pricing discretion with respect to the Products and Services.

ordering or delivery process becomes available. At such time, orders in
conformance with Cisco's policies will be shipped according to the
availability, pricing, and expedited lead-times described in the
procedures.
6.0 SHIPPING AND DELIVERY.
6.1 Shipping dates will be established by Cisco upon acceptance of Purchase

or for failure to give notice of any delay. Except in accordance with

delinquent in the payment of any invoice, or is otherwise in breach of
this Agreement, Cisco may, at its discretion, and without prejudice to
its other rights, withhold shipment (including partial shipments) of
any order or may, at its option, require Integrator to prepay for
further shipments. Any sum not paid by Integrator, when due, shall bear
interest until paid at a rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the
maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Integrator grants
Cisco a security interest in Products and Services purchased or

APPENDIX A
CISCO PROBLEM PRIORITIZATION AND ESCALATION GUIDELINE
To ensure that all problems are reported in a standard format, Cisco has
established the following problem priority definitions. These definitions will
assist Cisco in allocating the appropriate resources to resolve problems.
Integrator must assign a priority to all problems submitted to Cisco. PROBLEM
PRIORITY DEFINITIONS:
Priority 1: An existing network is down or there is a
critical impact to the End User's business operation.
Cisco, Integrator and End User will commit full-time
resources to resolve the situation.
Priority 2: Operation of an existing network is severely
degraded, or significant aspects of the End Users
business operation are being negatively impacted by
unacceptable network performance. Cisco, Integrator
and End User will commit full-time resources during
Standard Business Hours to resolve the situation.
Priority 3: Operational performance of the network is impaired
while most business operations remain functional.
Cisco, Integrator and End User are willing to commit
resources during Standard Business Hours to restore
service to satisfactory levels.
Priority 4: Information or assistance is required on Cisco
product capabilities, installation, or configuration.
There is clearly little or no impact to the End
User's business operation. Cisco, Integrator and End
User are willing to provide resources during Standard
Business Hours to provide information or assistance
as requested.
Cisco encourages Integrator to reference this guide when Integrator-initiated
escalation is required. If Integrator does not feel that adequate forward
progress or the quality of Cisco service is satisfactory, Cisco encourages
Integrator to escalate the problem ownership to the appropriate level of Cisco
management by asking for the TAC Duty Manager.

Note: Priority 1 problem escalation times are measured in calendar hours 24
hours per day, 7 days per week. Priority 2, 3 and 4 escalation times
correspond with Standard Business Hours. The Cisco Manager to which the
problem is escalated will take ownership of the problem and provide the
Integrator with updates. Cisco recommends that Integrator-initiated
escalation begin at the Customer Engineering Manager level and proceed
upward using the escalation guideline shown above for reference. This
will allow those most closely associated with the support resources to
correct any service problems quickly.

SPECIAL LICENSE TERMS
DEFINITIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL SPECIAL LICENSES
Service Provider means an entity which has acquired Cisco's Products in
order to create and provide Network Services to End Users.
Network Services include the following services: access to the Internet
and data transmission and value-added telecommunications services
related to such transmission, including managed network services
whereby Service Provider manages network elements belonging to or
located at the premises of End Users in conjunction with
telecommunications services to End Users by Service Provider.
CISCO NAM SOFTWARE
1.0 DEFINITIONS
Central NAM Software means a software system that is configured to
handle initial route requests from the Integrator network. Central NAM
Software is capable of handling a variety of initial routing requests
to completion, and uses scripting logic to return a network label to
the Integrator network. This label instructs the network on where to
deliver the call. The Central NAM Software also forwards some route
requests to dedicated CICM Software.
Central Site Software means the Software known as the Central NAM
Software and CICM Software which must be centrally located at
Integrator's site in order to provide call center services to
Integrator's End Users.
CICM Software means the Software known as the Customer Intelligent
Contact Management ("CICM") Software which are installed at
Integrator's central site, dedicated to a specific End User and
connected to Remote Site Software.
CISCO NAM Software means Software, which Cisco designates as the
Network Applications Management ("AM) Software and associated tools
and utilities.
Remote Site Software(s) means that portion of the CISCO NAM Software
that must be installed at an End User site in order for such End User
to receive call center services from the Integrator or which is
installed centrally at Integrator's central site and End User has
access to same. Rernote Site Software means the Software known as the
CISCO Peripheral Gateway, CISCO Admin Workstation, CISCO Gateway
Partitioning and other CISCO Software deployed to a specific Customer
and a specific CICM Software instance.
2.0 LICENSE RESTRICTIONS
2.1 If CISCO NAM Software is licensed to a Service Provider by an
Integrator, Integrator may grant Service Provider the non-exclusive,
non-transferable license to distribute Remote Site Software in the
Territory to its End Users subject to these Special License Terms on a
temporary basis while Service Provider is providing call center
services via the CISCO NAM Software to such End User. Service
Provider's license to such End User must be via a Sublicense between
Service Provider and End User where this Sublicense meets the
requirements set forth in the Agreement to which this Exhibit is
attached. Integrator shall ensure that Service Provider is bound and
will abide by the Special License Terms for CISCO NAM Software.
Page 47 of 54
2.2 CISCO NAM Software may be used internally in Integrator's organization
and may be used as a component of a service offering to third parties.
2.3 Integrator may only distribute and grant access to Remote Site Software
via a Sublicense to End Users who may use this Software only during the
period where an Integrator is providing call center services to the End
User via the Software.
2.4 Once call center services between Integrator and End User have ceased,
End User will cease using and return the Remote Site Software to
Integrator. Once returned, integrator may redeploy the CICM Software
and redeploy Remote Site Software which were dedicated to that former
End User to another End User subject to Cisco's then-current
redeployment policies and fees.
2.5 If Integrator has purchased Advanced Services Customer Program
Licenses, then Integrator may only deploy the total number of Advanced
Services Customers listed on the Order. Each Advanced Services Customer
must be entered as a customer in the CICM configuration and correspond
to an entry in the Customer Definition Table for the CICM instance in
which that Customer is defined. Each Advanced Services Customer entry
in a Customer Definition Table (Central NAM or CICM Software) must have
an Advanced Services Customer Program License.
2.6 If Integrator has purchased a CICM Software license, then Integrator
may install a single instance of the CICM application under this
license. A CICM instance has an independent CICM database, its own set
of Windows NT registry configuration entries, and its own set of TCP/IP
service ports for communication with other CICM system components. Each
such instance is an independent CICM for purposes of the license grant,
whether there is a single CICM instance or multiple CICM instances
installed on the underlying hardware.
2.7 The End Users license to use the Software(s) shall terminate by (1) End
User's breach of the terms and conditions of the Software License
Agreement as modified or (2), if Integrator ceases performing call
center services via the Software to End User. Once End Users license
terminates, End User shall discontinue using the Software and return
any Software in its possession to Integrator.
3.0 REDEPLOYMENT POLICIES AND FEES
3.1 Integrator may only redeploy each CICM Software from supporting one End
User to supporting another End User once in each twelve (12) month
period with the first such redeployment period beginning upon the
shipping date of such Software and ending twelve (12) months thereafter
and the second such redeployment period commencing on the expiration of
the first such period and so on. The redeployment fees due Cisco as the
result of such redeployment shall equal twenty (20%) of the list price
of such CICM Software at the time this redeployed Software was first
ordered.
3.2 The redeployment fees due Cisco as the result of a redeployment of
Remote Site Software from supporting one End User CICM Software
instance to another shall equal twenty (20%) of the list price of such
Remote Site Software at the time this redeployed Software was first
ordered.
3.3 With respect to the redeployment of Remote Site Software, should this
software be redeployed by connecting it to a different type of target
platform, Cisco will charge Integrator a license conversion fee equal
to ten (10%) of the list price of the Software connecting to the new
target platform at the time the licenses are converted. Furthermore,
should this software be redeployed by connecting it to a new target
platform and there is a difference between the list price of the
Page 48 of 54
Software connecting to the existing platform at the time this Software
was first ordered and the list price of the Software connecting to the
new target platform at the time of conversion and the list price for
the Software connecting to the new target platform is greater,
Integrator will pay Cisco the difference between these two prices after
applying Integrator's current discount for the Software. No credit will
be given to Integrator should the list price for the Software
connecting to the new target platform be less than the list price for
the Software connecting to the existing platform.
3.4 The redeployment and conversion fees specified herein do not include
any charges or expenses for any services Cisco performs at the request
of Integrator in relation to the redeployed or converted Software.
Redeployment and conversion fees shall be due upon redeployment or
conversion as the case may be.
3.5 Should Integrator need to inventory CICM Software and Remote Site
Software because same cannot be redeployed immediately, Integrator may
take these inventoried items off support; however, to reestablish
support for these items, Cisco will charge Integrator a reinstatement
fee equal to the support fees not paid that would have been paid, if
the Software had been continuously covered by support plus twenty-five
(25) percent of same.
CISCO ICM SOFTWARE
CISCO ICM Software may only be used internally to Integrator's or End User's
organization and may not be used as a component of a service offering to third
parties; additionally, Integrators may distribute this ICM Software to Service
Providers or End Users via a Sublicense for its internal use under the terms and
conditions of the Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached.
If customer, whether an Integrator or End User, has purchased an ICM Software
license, then such customer may install a single instance of the ICM application
under this license. An ICM instance has an independent ICM database, its own set
of Windows NT registry configuration entries, and its own set of TCP/IP service
ports for communication with other ICM system components. Each such instance is
an independent ICM for purposes of the license grant, whether there is a single
ICM instance or multiple ICM instances installed on the underlying hardware.
CISCO CUSTOMER INTERATION SUITE SOFTWARE
The CISCO Customer Interaction Suite Software may only be used internally to
Integrator's or End User's organization and may not be used as a component of a
service offering to third parties; additionally, Integrators may distribute this
