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

B. Additionally, unless AT&T has given NetSolve prior written- consent, NetSolve

illustration only and not limitation, those in the paragraphs ALTERNATE DISPUTE
RESOLUTION, INDEMNITY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, EXPORT
CONTROL ASSURANCE, COMPETITION, USE OF INFORMATION, RELEASES VOID, AUDIT and
WARRANTY, shall survive termination, cancellation or expiration of this
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
are not limited to Ameritech, Avantis, Xxxx Atlantic, Xxxx South, CompuServe,
LCI (Litel), MCI, NYNEX, Pacific Telesis Group, Southwestern Xxxx, Sprint, U.S.
West, and WorldCom (Wiltel/LDDS)]; or (2) upon thirty (30) days advance written
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 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
AT&T PROPRIETARY
-8-
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.
Ramp-down Period Minimum Target Example: If NetSolve
Percentage of Sites supports 1,200 Sites
Supported by NetSolve at the beginning of
the ramp-down period,

Month 5 50% 600
Month 6 40% 480
Month 7 30% 360
Month 8 20% 240
Month 9 10% 120
Month 10 0% 0
C. Upon termination, AT&T shall pay NetSolve the amount due for services
rendered up to and including the effective date of termination and no further
work shall be rendered under this Agreement. Such payment shall constitute a
full and complete discharge of AT&T's obligations under this Agreement.
Paragraph 25 - TIMELY PERFORMANCE
---------------------------------
If either party has knowledge that anything prevents or threatens to prevent the
timely performance of the work under this Agreement, such party shall promptly
notify the other party's appropriate representative thereof and include all

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

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.

NetSolve shall indemnify and save harmless AT&T, its affiliates, and their
customers, and each of their officers, directors, employees, successors and
assigns (all hereinafter referred to in this clause as AT&T) from and against
any losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, and expenses (including
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

Infringement Claim and shall cooperate in good faith with the other to
facilitate the defense or settlement of any such claim.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Footnotes to Table 1:
(1) Subject to 100% credit if network is managed by NetSolve (see Paragraph
4 of Attachment H).
(2) This charge is waived for Orders accepted by NetSolve prior to the
Effective Date. This charge will apply for such Orders upon expiration
of the current term per the end user customer Order to NetSolve from
AT&T.
(3) This fee may be deferred by increasing the monthly recurring charge.
See Table 3 below.
(4) Additional charge at Time and Materials rate (see Item 8 in Table 1)
for installations completed outside of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local
time Monday through Friday.
(5) This process will be used for all router orders received from AT&T
after August 15, 1999. It may be used for router orders prior to that
date at NetSolve's option in order to manage the transition. Prior to
the transition, the process for `Other Equipment' in Item 5 above will
be utilized.
(6) The cost of the equipment will be invoiced as the equipment is received
from the manufacturer. The percentage fee will be invoiced as the
equipment is shipped to the end user customer. NetSolve will provide a
monthly report detailing all inventory held by NetSolve which has been
billed to AT&T and not yet shipped to the end user customer.
(7) Maintenance services purchased utilizing NetSolve's vendor may only be
canceled by AT&T upon sixty (60) days written notice prior to each
anniversary of the service start date even if it results in NetSolve
providing maintenance services beyond the term of providing the
services in Item 2 of Table 1 (except that AT&T shall not be obligated
to continue maintenance services more than ninety (90) days following
the end of the term per the Order).
Table 2
-------
The price to AT&T for the services under Item 2 of Table 1 are set forth
below and are based on the Service Term and number of sites per each
individual Order. No more than one end user customer can be included on a
single Order.
If an end user customer adds additional sites and that end user customer
has enough sites in total to qualify for a lower price, the lower price can
be obtained only through the replacement of existing Orders with a new
Order containing all of the served sites for a new service term.
All of the sites on each Order shall be installed within the Ramp-Up Period
(defined as one-hundred-eighty (180) days after installation of the first
site on the Order, unless AT&T and NetSolve mutually agree otherwise on a
case by case basis). If all of the sites under an Order are

not installed within the Ramp-Up Period, then NetSolve may xxxx AT&T based
on the actual number of installed sites for that Order. Such price will be
utilized only prospectively (i.e., there will be no adjustments to billing
for prior months). Provided, however, that if the failure to meet the Ramp-
Up schedule is due to NetSolve installation delays, then NetSolve shall
xxxx AT&T based on the number of sites in the Order until the NetSolve
delay is cured.
If a customer cancels sites, NetSolve may base the pricing on the remaining
number of sites. Provided, however, that if a customer cancels sites, due
to a business downturn, then NetSolve shall not increase the price if the
decrease in the number of sites results in a drop of only one level in
Table 2A and/or Table 2B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NetSolve may base
the pricing on the remaining number of sites if (i) AT&T has increased its
price to the end user customer or (ii) the decrease results in the number
of sites falling into the first level of Table 2A and/or Table 2B.
The pricing in Table 2A shall apply to Orders existing as of the Effective
Date of this Amendment No. 11.0. The pricing in Table 2B shall apply to
all new Orders placed after the Effective Date of this Amendment.
Provided, however, that Table 2A pricing shall apply to all Orders if at
any time during the term of this Amendment, the total average number of
router sites (new orders and existing customers) managed by NetSolve
hereunder is less than 11. Further provided that once the total average
number of router sites managed hereunder is 11 or more, Table 2B pricing
shall then apply to all new Orders.

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
Order 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.
AT&T/NETSOLVE PROPRIETARY
Page 13
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 acceptance by AT&T; (ii) the customer requested due date; or (iii)
50 days from receipt by NetSolve of a Order 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
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 xxxxxxxx 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 Item 2 of Table 1 in Paragraph 4 of Amendment Number 11.0. 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 xxxxxxxx to AT&T by NetSolve for the charges for installation set
forth in Item 4 of Table 1 in Paragraph 4 of Amendment Number 11.0.
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 Item 2 of Table 1 Paragraph 4 of Amendment Number 11.0 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.
Activity Performed Credit Due *
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation Actual Credit to Customer
Not to exceed 50% of Installation fee for
the affected sites
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintenance Actual Credit to Customer
Not to exceed 25% of maintenance for the
affected sites for the month
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The credit due will be reduced by the amount of any credit issued to the
end user for On-Time Installation (First Sites) and On-Time Installation
(Overall) under the section titled `Credits for Missed DMOQs' in this
Attachment A.
For any event that precipitates this type of credit due, AT&T and NetSolve will
jointly perform an operational review to determine the factors that contributed
to the situation. Both AT&T and NetSolve will engage the proper extended team
to develop process changes to ensure these situations will be remedied for all
future activities.
The credits set forth above constitute NetSolve's sole liability, and AT&T's
sole and exclusive remedy, for any failure to meet any DMOQs or other metrics.

Services provided under this Attachment.
For purposes of this Attachment the following Paragraphs in the Agreement are
replaced with the Paragraphs below:
Paragraph 1 - Statement of Work
NetSolve shall provide contract services to AT&T in support of AT&T's Growth

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 variations 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

Attachment H-1
MRS Proposal Statement of Work
------------------------------
1. Overview
NetSolve and AT&T Growth Markets 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 Growth Markets 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.
NetSolve will also assist in proposal closure by providing support to the DNAE
and, where mutually agreed by AT&T and NetSolve, assisting in or making customer
presentations.
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.
!*! NEED TO ATTACH EXHIBIT 1 !*!
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.
