are relevant to the performance of Supplier's obligations under this
Agreement shall have been delivered to Supplier on or prior to the
Effective Date. Correct and complete copies of all provisions of each
Additional Contract that are relevant to the performance of Supplier's
obligations under this Agreement shall be delivered to Supplier prior to

Additional Contract and such Additional Contract becoming a "Contract"
under this Agreement. Company shall not amend, supplement or otherwise
modify, in any material respect, any terms of the Contracts relating to
Software or Services supplied under this Agreement without Supplier's prior
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Upon
reasonable written request by Supplier, Company shall use reasonable
commercial efforts to assert on behalf of Supplier any rights that Company
may have under any Contract for acts or omissions of any End User Customer
in respect of Software or Services supplied under this Agreement.
(b) If Company has obligations with respect to Services or Software
under any Additional Contract, Supplier agrees that it shall provide
Software and Services in accordance with the terms set forth in such
Additional Contract (or such other terms and conditions as may be mutually
agreed between Company and Supplier). If the material terms (including fees
for licensing of Software and rates for Services) of any Additional
Contract are materially less favorable in the aggregate to Supplier than
the terms set forth in Attachment B, Supplier and Company shall negotiate
------------
in good faith mutually acceptable terms under which Supplier shall perform
Company's obligations under such Additional Contract in accordance with its
provisions; provided, that if fees for licensing of Software and rates for
--------
Services under such Additional Contract are less favorable to Supplier than
those set forth in Attachment B, fees for licensing of Software and rates
------------
for Services under such Additional Contract shall be as set forth in
Attachment B.
------------

cause only if it provides written notice of rejection within ten (10) days
of receipt of such Order and concurrently terminates this Agreement in
accordance with Article 43.0 hereof.
------------
(b) If Supplier rejects any Order pursuant to clause (a) above,
Company agrees to comply with its obligations under the Contract to which
such rejected Order relates (including avoiding any act or omission that
would cause the source code of the Software to be released by Company
pursuant to such Contract) provided that Supplier has complied with its
obligations under Article 42.0(b)(ii) hereof. Supplier's rejection of an
-------------------
Order does, in no way, authorize Company to take any action or make any
commitment on Supplier's behalf.
(c) Each Order that is not rejected by Supplier in accordance with
the preceding sentence shall be deemed accepted by Supplier within ten (10)
days after receipt thereof. Only Orders so deemed accepted shall be binding

and conditions other than, or in addition to, those contained in this
Agreement or such Contract, Supplier and Company shall negotiate in good
faith such terms and conditions.

granted to End User Customers pursuant to the Contracts.

commercial efforts to assign or cause to be assigned to Supplier the
Contracts to the extent such Contracts relate to Software and Services.

(c) If any Contract is automatically renewable in accordance with its
terms for a successive period unless either party to such Contract gives
notice of its intention not to renew such Contract, Company may renew such
Contract in accordance with its terms without Supplier's consent; provided,
--------
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
and rates applicable to such Contract during such renewal term shall be
determined by Supplier so long as that Supplier notifies Lucent (or if

does not expressly provide that it is renewable, provided that (x) the
renewal term for such Contract shall not exceed three (3) years and (y) the
fees and rates applicable to such Contract during such renewal term shall

between the parties hereto prior to the initiation of such Services.

applicable End User Customer or such rights are earlier terminated in
accordance with the applicable Contract.
8.0 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

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.
