                          GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

      BUSINESS PROCESS SERVICES AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), made and effective
as of October 15, 2004 (the "Effective Date"), by and between The Dun &
Bradstreet Corporation ("D&B"), a Delaware corporation with its principal place
of business located at 103 JFK Parkway, Short Hills, New Jersey 07078-2708, and
International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM"), a New York corporation with
its principal place of business located at Route 100, Somers, NY 10589.

1. OBJECTIVES

      1.1 BACKGROUND, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES.

      D&B and IBM agree upon the following specific background, goals, and
objectives for the Agreement:

            (a) D&B desires to enter into an outsourcing arrangement in order to
transform and optimize performance of certain call center, data programming,
transaction processing and financial activities. D&B's guiding principles for
this arrangement are as follows:

                  (i) recognize substantial and sustained cost savings over what
it would have cost D&B to provide the services for itself, without sacrificing
quality of the services, both initially and on an on-going basis;

                  (ii) treat fairly and equitably all D&B team members;

                  (iii) maintain the quality of D&B data, implement effective
controls, and comply with all relevant privacy, financial, and other applicable
controls, laws, rules and regulations; and

                  (iv) deliver to D&B world class, evolving services, including
through the provision of information technology skills, methods, practices and
standards.

            (b) D&B desires for the outsourcing arrangement to align with the
foregoing guiding principles by:

                  (i) enabling D&B to focus on its core competencies and on
those activities that provide it with a competitive advantage, recognizing that
D&B's core business is dependent on D&B being able to deliver information and
related services to its customers;

                  (ii) enabling D&B to increase revenues as further described in
the Agreement;

                  (iii) establishing a flexible framework within which to
quickly respond to evolving technologies, competitive conditions, and changing
D&B business needs;

<PAGE>

                  (iv) attaining transparency and variability of IBM's charging
structures, permitting D&B to fully understand IBM's charges and to implement a
consumption-based expense structure where actual demand for the Services drives
the charges;

                  (v) identifying means to improve the Services and reduce costs
to D&B and to enable D&B to improve and expand its information/database
capabilities;

                  (vi) providing the transitioning of responsibility for
performing the Services from D&B and its contractors to IBM in such a manner so
that any disruptions to D&B are planned, minimal, and controlled; and

                  (vii) providing the transitioning of responsibility for
performing the Services back to D&B or its designee(s) in connection with
termination or expiration of the Agreement in such a manner so that any
disruptions to D&B are planned, minimal, and controlled.

2. DEFINITIONS

      2.1 CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS.

            (a) "Affiliate" shall mean, with respect to any entity, any other
entity Controlling, Controlled by, or under common Control with, such entity at
the time in question. At D&B's option, (i) an entity shall be deemed to remain
an Affiliate of D&B for up to twenty-four (24) months after the date it ceases
to be controlled by D&B and (ii) the purchaser of all or substantially all the
assets of any line of business of D&B or its Affiliates shall be deemed an
Affiliate of D&B for up to twenty-four (24) months after the date of purchase,
but only with respect to the business acquired.

            (b) "Agreement" shall mean this Agreement, including its schedules,
exhibits, and other attachments, as amended by the Parties from time to time in
accordance with its terms.

            (c) "Approved Subcontractors" shall mean IBM's Affiliates, those
subcontractors of IBM approved by D&B prior to the Effective Date and identified
in the Agreement, and any other subcontractor(s) approved by D&B during the Term

      3.1 GENERAL.

      Commencing on the Effective Date (or the applicable Service Commencement
Date in the case a specific service), IBM will provide the following services,
functions and responsibilities, as they may evolve during the Term and as they
may, subject to the Change Management Process, be supplemented, enhanced,
modified or replaced ("Services"):

            (a) the services, functions and responsibilities described in the
Agreement (including its schedules, exhibits and attachments);

            (b) the services, functions and responsibilities reasonably related
to the in-scope Services to the extent performed during the twelve (12) months
preceding the Effective Date by D&B's (and its Affiliates') personnel (including
employees and

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 6 -

<PAGE>

contractors) who are displaced or whose functions were displaced as a result of
the Agreement, even if the service, function or responsibility so performed is
not specifically described in the Agreement; and

            (c) any services not described in the Agreement or its schedules but
that are incidental to performance of the Services.

      3.2 IMPLIED SERVICES.

      If any services, functions, or responsibilities are required for the
proper performance and provision of the Services, regardless of whether they are
specifically described in the Agreement, they shall be deemed to be implied by
and included within the scope of the Services to be provided by IBM to the same
extent and in the same manner as if specifically described in the Agreement.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, IBM shall be
responsible for providing the facilities, personnel, and other resources as
necessary to provide the Services.

      3.3 SERVICES EVOLUTION.

      IBM shall cause the Services to evolve and to be modified, enhanced,
supplemented and replaced as necessary for the Services to keep pace with
technological advances and advances in the methods of delivering services, where
such advances are at the time pertinent in general use within the industry or,
as identified by D&B, among D&B's competitors. As an example, Services evolution
shall include addition of functionality by IBM as is made possible with new
Equipment and Software utilized by IBM during the Term. Adjustments in Services
in accordance with this Section shall be deemed to be included within the scope
of the Services to the same extent and in the same manner as if expressly
described in the Agreement.

      3.4 SERVICES VARIABLE IN SCOPE AND VOLUME.

      The Services are variable in scope and volume. Such variations are
provided for in the pricing mechanisms set forth in Schedule C (Charges). IBM
shall not be entitled to receive an adjustment to the charges except as set
forth therein.

      3.5 SERVICES PERFORMED BY D&B OR THIRD PARTIES.

            (a) Subject to Schedule C (Charges), D&B retains the right to
perform itself, or retain third parties to perform, any of the Services. D&B
will provide IBM with at least sixty (60) days' notice prior to withdrawing any
substantial portion of the Services from the scope of Services under the
Agreement.

            (b) In the case of D&B's withdrawal of Services under Section
3.5(a), IBM's charges shall be adjusted as provided in Schedule C (Charges) to
reflect those Services that are no longer required.

            (c) If D&B performs any of the Services itself, or retains third
parties to do so, IBM shall cooperate with D&B or such third parties as
reasonably necessary for D&B or the third party to perform such Services. Such
cooperation shall include: (i) providing reasonable access to the D&B or other
facilities being used by IBM to

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 7 -

<PAGE>

provide the Services; (ii) providing reasonable access to the Equipment and
Software (to the extent permitted under any underlying agreements with
unaffiliated third parties); and (iii) providing such information regarding the
operating environment, system constraints and other operating parameters as a
person with reasonable commercial skills and expertise would find reasonably
necessary for D&B or a third party to perform its work. Such cooperation shall
be subject to the third party's compliance with IBM's reasonable security and
confidentiality policies. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge
that this provision is not intended to require IBM to furnish IBM resources for
third parties to use in performing services comparable to the Services.

      3.6 PERMITTED USERS OF THE SERVICES.

      The Services may be used by D&B and, as directed by D&B, its Affiliates,
and those third parties (such as customers, suppliers, and joint venturers) with
whom D&B or any Affiliate has a bona fide commercial relationship that is
broader than mere resale of the Services (collectively, "Eligible Recipients").
Services provided to Eligible Recipients shall be deemed to be Services provided
to D&B.

      3.7 SERVICE LOCATIONS.

      The Parties have agreed upon and identified in Schedule A the locations,
as of the Effective Date, at which IBM will perform the Services (subject, in
the case of any Service locations outside the United States, to the execution of
any prerequisite Major Market Service Agreements and/or Local Adoption
Agreements). Any changes in the Service locations or the types of Services
provided at a Service location will be subject to the Change Management Process.

      3.8 RELATIONSHIP AND AGREEMENT STRUCTURE.

            (a) The Agreement provides for and governs the provision of Services
to D&B and its Affiliates in the United States. By executing the Agreement, D&B
and IBM contract to implement the Agreement in relation to the United States.

            (b) It is also the intention of the Parties that the Agreement
provide for the provision of Services to D&B Affiliates in the Major Markets of
Canada and Europe. Simultaneously with the execution of the Agreement by D&B and
IBM in the United States, D&B's and IBM's respective Affiliates in Canada are
subscribing to and joining in the Agreement, thereby activating it in relation
to Canada, by executing a Major Market Services Agreement for Canada in the form
set forth as Exhibit G-1 (Canada Services Agreement). In addition, D&B's and
IBM's respective Affiliates in the United Kingdom are subscribing to and joining
in the Agreement, thereby activating it in relation to the United Kingdom, by
executing a Major Market Services Agreement for Europe in the form set forth as
Exhibit G-2 (Europe Services Agreement).

            (c) The Europe Services Agreement provides a framework and
contractual vehicle by which other D&B and IBM Affiliates in Europe may
subscribe to and join in the Agreement if they choose to do so. The Europe
Services Agreement will not be activated or effective in relation to European
countries other than the United Kingdom unless and until the local IBM and D&B
Affiliates in the applicable country

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 8 -

<PAGE>

choose to participate in the Agreement. If they choose to participate in the
Agreement, they may subscribe to and join in the Agreement by negotiating and
executing a local agreement issued under the Europe Services Agreement for the
provision and receipt of the Services in relation to the country in which they
operate (a "Local Adoption Agreement"). If D&B and IBM Affiliates in a European
country choose to enter into a Local Adoption Agreement, they will do so in
compliance with all relevant legal requirements in their home country, including
national legislation implementing the ARD.

            (d) Without D&B's consent, no Major Market Services Agreement or
Local Adoption Agreement (collectively "Subscription Agreements") shall alter
the aggregate net amounts to be received by IBM (including IBM Affiliates),
expand the geographic scope of, or otherwise alter the Parties' respective
rights and obligations under the Agreement.

            (e) No amendment to an executed Subscription Agreement shall be
effective unless it is approved by the D&B Global Project Executive and the IBM
Project Executive.

            (f) The applicable D&B Affiliate may, subject to the terms of
Section 23, terminate any Subscription Agreement without affecting the other
Subscription Agreements or the Agreement.

            (g) In relation to a Subscription Agreement, all references in the
Agreement to D&B or IBM shall, be regarded as references to the corresponding
D&B or IBM Affiliate(s) in the relevant jurisdiction unless the context requires
otherwise.

            (h) The Parties agree that the UN Convention on the International
Sale of Goods shall not apply to any Subscription Agreement.

4. TERM OF AGREEMENT

      4.1 TERM.

      Subject to extensions made pursuant to Section 4.2, the Term of the
Agreement will start on the Effective Date and expire at midnight (U.S. Eastern
Time) on March 31, 2012.

      4.2 EXTENSION OF TERM.

      By giving written notice to IBM no less than six (6) months prior to the
then-existing expiration date of the Agreement, D&B shall have the right to
extend the Term of the Agreement for up to one (1) year on the terms and
conditions then in effect, including those terms, if any, that provide
mechanisms by which the IBM's price is to be adjusted. D&B shall have three (3)
such extension options of up to one (1) year each.

way that controls and minimizes disruption to D&B and its Affiliates.

            (c) IBM's responsibilities with respect to the Transition and
Transformation will include: (i) establishing communications lines and network
connections, and providing Equipment, Software, tapes, records and supplies, as
made necessary by the Transition and Transformation; (ii) maintaining the

shall be disabled until IBM demonstrates to D&B's reasonable satisfaction that
it has fully tested and implemented equivalent capabilities for such
functionality at its new location. Communications bandwidth for new locations,
if any, shall support or improve the response times experienced by End Users
prior to the Transition and Transformation.

            (e) D&B may monitor, test and otherwise participate in the
Transition and Transformation. IBM shall immediately notify D&B if such
monitoring, testing or participation has caused (or in IBM's reasonable opinion
may cause) a problem or delay in the Transition and/or Transformation, and shall
work with D&B to prevent or circumvent such problem or delay.

6. PERSONNEL

      6.1 KEY IBM POSITIONS.

            (a) IBM shall cause each of the IBM Personnel filling the Key IBM
Positions set forth in Schedule D (Key IBM Positions) to devote substantially
full time and effort to the provision of the Services to D&B except as otherwise

to remain on the D&B account for at least twenty-four (24) consecutive months
from the time they initially assume their position.

            (b) D&B may from time to time change the positions designated as Key
IBM Positions upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to IBM,
provided that without IBM's consent, the number of Key IBM Positions shall not
exceed the number initially specified in the Agreement. D&B acknowledges that if
it newly designates a

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 10 -

<PAGE>

position as a Key IBM Position, the person IBM nominates to fill that position

personnel proposed by IBM to fill a Key IBM Position.

            (d) Except at D&B's request, IBM may not transfer any individual

transfers may occur at a time or in a manner that would have an adverse impact
on delivery of the Services.

            (e) So long as an individual is assigned to a Key IBM Position, and
for twelve (12) months thereafter, IBM shall not assign such individual to
perform services for the benefit of any D&B Competitor.

            (f) IBM shall establish and maintain an up-to-date succession plan
for the individuals filling Key IBM Positions.

      6.2 IBM PROJECT EXECUTIVE.

the single point of accountability for IBM for the Services; (iii) have
day-to-day authority for undertaking to ensure customer satisfaction; (iv)
receive compensation that includes significant financial incentives based on
D&B's satisfaction with the Services, (i.e., not less than thirty-five percent
(35%) of his or her total targeted compensation); and (v) be located at a
location reasonably designated by D&B from time to time.

      6.3 QUALIFICATIONS, RETENTION AND REMOVAL OF IBM PERSONNEL.

            (a) Notwithstanding any specific IBM Personnel staffing plans set
out or described in the schedules, exhibits and attachments to the Agreement,
IBM shall be responsible for providing an adequate number of IBM Personnel to
perform the Services in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement,
including as necessary to accommodate spikes in demand for Services, to resolve
backlogs, to achieve the Service Levels, and to meet applicable customer and
month-end deadlines. IBM Personnel shall be properly educated, trained and fully
qualified for the Services they are to perform. D&B shall have the right to
review and approve the job descriptions of IBM Personnel to be recruited to
perform the Services and the right to validate the language skills of IBM
Personnel.

            (b) D&B and IBM agree that it is in their best interests to keep the
turnover rate of IBM Personnel to a reasonably low level. As part of its monthly
reporting, IBM shall report on turnover of personnel assigned to D&B's account.
If D&B believes that IBM's turnover rate may be excessive and so notifies IBM,
IBM shall provide data concerning its turnover rate and shall meet with D&B to
discuss the reasons for, and impact of, the turnover rate. If appropriate, IBM
shall submit to D&B its proposals for reducing the turnover rate, and the
Parties shall mutually agree on a program to bring the turnover rate down to an
acceptable level. In any event, IBM shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
keep the turnover rate to a reasonably

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 11 -

<PAGE>

low level, and notwithstanding transfer or turnover of IBM Personnel, IBM
remains obligated to perform the Services without degradation and in accordance
with the Agreement.

            (c) While at D&B's premises (or the premises of others receiving the
Services under the Agreement), IBM Personnel shall (i) comply with reasonable
requests, rules, and regulations regarding personal and professional conduct
(including the wearing of an identification badge and adhering to general
safety, dress, behavior, and security practices or procedures) generally
applicable to such premises; and (ii) otherwise conduct themselves in a
businesslike and professional manner.

            (d) If D&B determines in good faith that the continued assignment to
D&B's account of one or more IBM Personnel is not in the best interests of D&B,
then IBM shall promptly replace that person with another person of suitable
ability and qualifications.

            (e) Prior to being assigned to perform Services, all IBM Personnel
must successfully complete a background screening in accordance with the
provisions of Attachment A-5-1 (IBM Personnel Background Checks and Screening).
If D&B requires, IBM Personnel shall not be assigned to particular Services or
projects until they successfully complete additional background screening, drug
testing, and similar requirements. IBM shall staff the D&B account with a
sufficient number of employees who are willing to agree to and able to pass
background screening, drug tests, and similar requirements as necessary to meet
the requirements of D&B's business.

            (f) With respect to Services which are to be performed at locations
other than those exclusively under the control of IBM, IBM shall be responsible
for: (i) being fully informed of the working conditions under which the Services
will be performed; (ii) employing such labor and such means and methods of
carrying out the Services as required by such conditions; (iii) using
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain labor harmony in providing the
Services in order to avoid and prevent strikes, walkouts, work stoppages,
slowdowns, boycotts and other labor difficulties, disharmony, and discord; and
(iv) any costs (including costs of delays) incurred as a result of failing to
meet the obligations under this Section. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, IBM shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide IBM
Personnel for its labor force that will be compatible with other workers at the
applicable location, and shall not permit any disruption in the provision of the
Services on account of IBM Personnel.

      6.4 RESTRICTIVE COVENANT.

      While IBM Personnel are assigned to perform Services under the Agreement,
they shall not be assigned or permitted to perform services for or on behalf of
any D&B Competitors until after they have ceased to perform any Services under
the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that IBM Personnel
filling the Key IBM Positions are subject to additional restrictions under
Section 6.1(e).

7. HUMAN RESOURCES

      Schedule E (Human Resources) sets forth the terms and conditions
applicable to the transfer of personnel from D&B (and its Affiliates) to IBM
(and its Affiliates) pursuant to the Agreement.

8. RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESOURCES

      8.1 GENERALLY.

      Except to the extent specifically provided elsewhere in the Agreement, IBM
shall be responsible for providing all resources (including Equipment and
Software) necessary or desirable to provide the Services and will only recover
the cost of providing such resources through the corresponding charges in
Schedule C (Charges). Any Equipment and Software furnished by IBM that provides
a means of access to D&B systems or D&B Data shall comply with D&B's
then-current IT architecture and security policies.

      8.2 ACQUIRED ASSETS.

      As of the Effective Date, D&B hereby sells and conveys to IBM for use in
providing the Services, for nominal consideration of one US dollar (US$ 1.00),
the DUNSVoice Assistance Equipment described in Schedule M (Existing D&B
Resources).

      8.3 [RESERVED]

      8.4 [RESERVED]

      8.5 D&B FACILITIES.

            (a) As described in Schedule A (IBM Services and Solutions), D&B has
agreed to provide workspace at D&B facilities during agreed timeframes
(generally, during the Transition) for use by in-scope D&B personnel who are
hired by IBM and its Affiliates pursuant to the Agreement. IBM may only use the
D&B facilities for the sole and exclusive purpose of providing the Services. Use
of D&B facilities by IBM and its Affiliates does not constitute a leasehold or
other property interest in favor of IBM and its Affiliates.

            (b) IBM and its Affiliates will use the D&B facilities efficiently,
in a manner that is coordinated with D&B and does not interfere with D&B's
business operations, and which does not damage D&B facilities. IBM will cause
IBM Personnel to comply with D&B's policies and procedures made available to IBM
regarding access to and use of the D&B facilities, including procedures for
physical security. IBM will permit D&B and its agents and representatives to
enter into those portions of the D&B facilities occupied by IBM Personnel at any
time to perform inspections, audits or facilities-related services. IBM
acknowledges that when IBM Personnel are present at D&B facilities, they are
subject to the same limitations on privacy that are applicable to D&B personnel
at that facility.

<PAGE>

            (c) When D&B facilities are no longer required for performance of
the Services, or in any event upon expiration or termination of the Agreement
(or the applicable lease term, if shorter), IBM will vacate and return them to
D&B's use in substantially the same condition as when IBM began use of them,
subject to reasonable wear and tear.

9. RIGHTS IN MATERIALS

      This Section 9 addresses the Parties' respective rights in Materials.

      9.1 D&B MATERIALS.

            (a) D&B retains all right, title and interest in and to D&B
Materials. If D&B makes any D&B Materials available to IBM for use in providing
the Services, D&B grants to IBM a worldwide, fully paid-up, nonexclusive,
non-transferable license during the Term to Use such D&B Materials solely to the
extent necessary for performing the Services with the right to grant
sub-licenses to Approved Subcontractors thereunder only for such purposes and
subject to all applicable provisions of the Agreement. D&B Materials will be
made available to IBM in such form and on such media as exists on the Effective
Date or as is later obtained by D&B. Except as otherwise specifically set forth
in the Agreement, D&B Materials made available to IBM are made available on an
"AS IS" basis, with no warranties whatsoever.

            (b) IBM shall not be permitted to (and shall not permit any Approved
Subcontractors to) Use D&B Materials for the benefit of any entities other than
D&B and its Affiliates without the prior written consent of D&B, which may be
withheld at D&B's discretion. IBM shall (and shall procure that its Approved
Subcontractors shall) install, operate and support (and otherwise treat in the
same manner as D&B Materials existing as of the Effective Date) additional D&B
Materials that D&B may designate from time to time during the Term. Except as
otherwise requested or approved by D&B, IBM shall (and shall procure that its
Approved Subcontractors shall) cease all use of D&B Materials upon expiration or
termination of the Agreement.

      9.2 COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IBM MATERIALS.

      With respect to commercially available IBM Materials (and any
modifications and enhancements that are not developed specially for D&B or
according to D&B's specifications):

            (a) IBM hereby grants to D&B and the Eligible Recipients a license
on standard terms and conditions no less favorable than those offered generally
by IBM to other commercial customers to use such IBM Materials during the Term
to permit D&B and the Eligible Recipients to receive, use and enjoy fully the
benefits of the Services;

            (b) IBM hereby grants to D&B and the Eligible Recipients a license
on standard terms and conditions no less favorable than those offered generally
by IBM to other commercial customers to use such IBM Materials following the
expiration or termination of the Term or termination of the Service(s) for which
such IBM Materials

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 14 -

<PAGE>

were used; provided that, in all events, such terms and conditions must be at
least broad enough to permit D&B and the Eligible Recipients to use such IBM
Materials to provide for themselves, or have provided for them by third party
contractors, services similar to the Services, and for D&B and the Eligible
Recipients to receive such services;

            (c) IBM (A) shall deliver a copy of such IBM Materials to D&B and
the Eligible Recipients, (B) shall deliver source code and/or object code to the
extent such IBM Materials include source code or object code and such code is
customarily provided to commercial customers licensing such IBM Materials, and
(C) if IBM fails to offer or provide upgrades, maintenance, support or other
services for such IBM Materials as provided, shall deliver source code and
object code for such IBM Materials to the extent such IBM Materials include
source code, together with the right to modify, enhance and create derivative
works of such IBM Materials (provided that, in such event, the licensed IBM
Materials shall thereafter be provided on an "as is" basis); and

            (d) IBM shall offer to provide to D&B and the Eligible Recipients
upgrades, maintenance, support and other services for such IBM Materials on
IBM's then-current standard terms and conditions for such services.

            (e) Unless D&B has otherwise agreed in advance, D&B and the Eligible
Recipients shall not be obligated to pay any license or transfer fees in
connection with its receipt of the licenses and other rights above. IBM shall
not use any such IBM Materials for which it is unable to offer such license or
other rights without D&B's prior written approval (and absent such approval,
IBM's use of any such IBM Materials shall obligate IBM to provide, at no
additional cost to D&B, such license and other rights to D&B, the Eligible
Recipients and D&B's designees).

      9.3 NON-COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IBM MATERIALS.

      With respect to IBM Materials that are not commercially available, unless
otherwise agreed prior to the first use of such IBM Materials:

            (a) IBM hereby grants to D&B and the Eligible Recipients a
worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable fully paid-up
license, to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, and distribute such IBM
Materials following the expiration or termination of the Term or termination of
the Service(s) for which such IBM Materials were used. Such license shall be
limited to the use of such IBM Materials by D&B and the Eligible Recipients to
provide for themselves and, to have provided for them by Third Party
Contractors, services similar to the Services and for D&B and the Eligible
Recipients to receive, use and fully enjoy the benefits of such services.
Nothing in this Agreement will require D&B or the Eligible Recipients to cease
conducting their respective businesses, or to prohibit Third Party Contractors
from assisting D&B or the Eligible Recipients, in accordance with any business
processes or manners of conducting business that have been implemented by IBM
and nothing in this Agreement will preclude D&B or the Eligible Recipients (or
Third Party Contractors while providing services to D&B or the Eligible
Recipients) from continued use of such processes or manners of conducting
business.

<PAGE>

            (b) IBM shall not use any IBM Materials for which it is unwilling to
grant all of the license and other rights described above without D&B's prior
written approval.

            (c) IBM hereby grants to Third Party Contractors designated by D&B a
worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, fully paid-up license
to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, and distribute such IBM Materials
for up to twelve (12) months following the expiration or termination of the Term
or, if later, the cessation of the Service(s) for which such IBM Materials were
used. Such license shall be limited to the use of such IBM Materials by such
Third Party Contractors to provide services similar to the Services to D&B and
the Eligible Recipients. The Third Party Contractors shall not be obligated to
pay any license or transfer fees in connection with their receipt of the
licenses and other rights specified above. However, if the Third Party
Contractors require such licenses and other rights for longer than the stated
period, IBM will provide the licenses solely for the continuation of the
services to D&B and its Affiliates for a price that * . At D&B's request,
IBM shall provide upgrades, maintenance, support and other services for such IBM
Materials on reasonable commercial terms and conditions, which shall include
pricing no less favorable than the pricing customarily charged to other
commercial customers receiving equivalent services. If IBM fails to offer or
provide upgrades, maintenance, support or other services, IBM shall deliver
source code and object code for such IBM Materials to the extent such IBM
Materials are Software and include source code, together with the right to
modify, enhance and create derivative works of such IBM Materials (provided
that, in such event, the licensed IBM Materials shall thereafter be provided on
an "as is" basis).

      9.4 DEVELOPED MATERIALS.

            (a) "Developed D&B Materials" shall mean the following Materials
developed pursuant to this Agreement by IBM Personnel (alone or jointly with
others): (i) modifications to, or upgrades or enhancements (derivative works)
of, D&B Materials; (ii) newly developed Materials that do not modify or enhance
then existing D&B Materials but are developed specially for D&B or according to
D&B's specifications; and (iii) modifications to, or enhancements (derivative
works) of, IBM Materials or Third Party Materials that are developed specially
for D&B or according to D&B's specifications. As between D&B and IBM, D&B shall
own all patent (including rights to patent applications), copyright, trademark,
trade secret, design, database, transferable moral and other intellectual
property rights (collectively, "Intellectual Property Rights") in and to
Developed D&B Materials. In the case of item (iii) above, D&B's ownership shall
be subject to and limited by the terms of any license agreement entered into by
D&B with respect to the IBM Materials or Third Party Materials from which the
Developed D&B Materials are derived; provided, however, that if IBM Personnel
incorporate any pre-existing Third Party Materials or IBM Materials into any
Developed D&B Materials without first notifying D&B of their nature and entering
into with D&B, or obtaining for D&B, a license to use the pre-existing Third
Party Materials or IBM Materials on terms that are acceptable to D&B, IBM hereby
grants to D&B and Eligible Recipients a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive,
worldwide, paid-up right and license to use such pre-existing Third Party
Materials or IBM Materials as part of the Developed D&B Materials in their
businesses and to authorize others to do the same on their behalf. Any
representations, warranties, and covenants of IBM, and any

* Text redacted pursuant to application for Confidential Treatment under Rule
24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

<PAGE>

rights of D&B under the Agreement, that are applicable to Developed D&B
Materials shall apply equally to any Third Party Materials or IBM Materials
incorporated into the Developed D&B Materials. To the extent required by
applicable law, IBM shall do all such things and shall execute all such
documents as may be necessary to effect an assignment or transfer (as the case
may be) of all such Intellectual Property Rights. D&B will grant IBM a
non-exclusive license during the Term to Use Developed D&B Materials solely to
perform the Services. The Parties will mutually agree upon, and IBM will include
in the Procedures Manual, a process to ensure written documentation of any
agreement of the Parties pursuant to which IBM will develop any Materials
"specially for D&B or according to D&B's specifications."

            (b) "Developed IBM Materials" shall mean modifications to, or
upgrades or enhancements (derivative works) of, IBM Materials developed pursuant
to this Agreement by IBM Personnel (alone or jointly with others) that are not
developed specially for D&B or according to D&B's specifications. As between IBM
and D&B, IBM shall own all Intellectual Property Rights in the Developed IBM
Materials. D&B's license rights in and to Developed IBM Materials shall be the
same as D&B's license rights in and to the underlying IBM Materials from which
they are derived, as provided Sections 9.2 and 9.3, whichever is applicable
under the circumstances.

      9.5 CERTAIN D&B RIGHTS FOLLOWING THE TERM.

      To the extent D&B and/or its Affiliates use or practice IBM Intellectual
Property Rights in accordance with the terms of the Agreement during the Term,
IBM (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) covenants not to assert
against or sue D&B and its Affiliates during or at any time following the Term
any claim for infringement of any patent owned or exclusively licensed by IBM or
its Affiliates where D&B's or its Affiliate's use or practice which constitutes
such infringement began during the Term.

      9.6 RESIDUAL KNOWLEDGE.

      Nothing contained in the Agreement shall restrict a Party from the use of
any general ideas, concepts, know-how, methodologies, processes, technologies,
algorithms or techniques retained in the unaided mental impressions of such
Party's personnel relating to the Services which either Party, individually or
jointly, develops or discloses under the Agreement, provided that in doing so
such Party does not infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of the other Party
or third parties who have licensed or provided materials to the other Party. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of
this Section 9.6 do not apply to any of the following: (i) D&B Data; (ii)
information concerning the operations, affairs and businesses of D&B (or its
Affiliates), the financial affairs of D&B (or its Affiliates), and the relations
of D&B (or its Affiliates) with their respective, employees and service
providers (including customer lists, customer information, account information,
consumer markets and other information regarding D&B's (or its Affiliates')
business planning, operations, or marketing activities); or (iii) D&B Materials
and Third Party Materials licensed by D&B (or its Affiliates).

10. REQUIRED CONSENTS

      IBM and its Affiliates shall be responsible, with D&B's and its
Affiliates' reasonable co-operation, for obtaining the Required Consents for
third party contracts and licenses as necessary to perform the Services, and IBM
shall be responsible for those fees (including transfer or upgrade fees,
additional licenses, sublicenses, and maintenance fees) required to obtain such
Required Consents. The Parties shall cooperate with each other so as to minimize
such costs. As and to the extent consent is obtained for IBM and its Affiliates
to manage and utilize the Software or a contract but the relevant license or
such contract remains in D&B's or an Affiliate's name, D&B and its Affiliates
shall exercise termination, extension, and other rights thereunder as IBM, after
consultation with D&B, reasonably directs. If a Required Consent is not
obtained, then, unless and until such Required Consent is obtained, IBM shall
determine and promptly adopt, subject to D&B's prior written approval, such
alternative approaches as are necessary and sufficient to provide the Services
without such Required Consents.

11. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS/SERVICE LEVELS

      11.1 GENERAL.

            (a) IBM shall perform the Services at least at the same level and
with at least the same degree of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness,
responsiveness and efficiency as was provided prior to the Effective Date by or
for D&B.

            (b) Quantitative Performance Standards for certain of the Services
("Service Levels"), are set forth in Schedule B (Service Levels).

            (c) At all times IBM's level of performance shall be at least equal
to the Service Levels and to standards satisfied by well-managed, world-class
operations performing services similar to the Services.

      11.2 PRIORITY OF RECOVERY FOLLOWING INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES.

      IBM will give the recovery of its capabilities to perform the Services and
the resumption of its actual performance of the Services the same or greater
priority it gives to recovering its capabilities to perform services and
resuming its performance of those services for any other customer of IBM (and
IBM's own operations).

      11.3 USER SATISFACTION.

      IBM and D&B will conduct a survey at agreed-to intervals (not less than
annually) of an agreed upon percentage of the D&B user community. The surveys
shall be designed to determine the level of user satisfaction and areas where
user satisfaction can be improved. Such surveys shall include representative
samples of each major category of user within D&B and an agreed upon number of
in-depth face-to-face or telephone interviews. IBM and D&B will mutually agree
on the form and content of the surveys, which shall be no less thorough than
IBM's customary user satisfaction program. The Parties will jointly review the
results of the surveys, and IBM will develop and implement a plan to improve
user satisfaction in areas where

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 18 -

<PAGE>

user satisfaction is low. D&B's satisfaction shall be an element of IBM
employees' personal measurements and a key factor in determining business unit
success. Such factors shall comprise a significant percentage of the variable
incentive compensation pay of each individual holding a Key IBM Position.

      11.4 PERIODIC REVIEWS.

      Within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date and at least annually
thereafter, D&B and IBM will review the Service Levels and will make adjustments
to them as appropriate to reflect improved performance capabilities associated
with advances in technology, processes and methods. The Parties expect and
understand that the Service Levels will be improved over time without impacting
the agreed pricing. As new technologies and processes are introduced, additional
Service Levels reflecting industry best practices for those technologies and
processes will be established by the Parties. Without limiting the generality of
this Section 11.4, Section 5.3 of Schedule B (Service Levels) sets forth a
mechanism for specific annual improvements in Service Levels.

12. ACCEPTANCE

      To the extent development of any software or other Deliverables is
included within the scope of the Agreement, the provisions of this Section 12
shall apply. IBM shall fully test all Software Deliverables prior to delivery to
D&B. Upon receipt of a Software Deliverable, D&B shall review the Deliverable
within ten (10) business days in the case of a written Deliverable and thirty
(30) days in the case of a Software Deliverable, or such other time period as is
otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing (with respect to each Deliverable,
the "Acceptance Period") to verify that it complies with its applicable
specifications. If D&B notifies IBM within five (5) business days after the end
of the Acceptance Period that the Deliverable does not meet its applicable
specifications and describes the deficiencies in sufficient detail for IBM to
reproduce them, IBM shall promptly replace the Deliverable with a conforming
Deliverable. If IBM is unable to provide a conforming Deliverable within ten
(10) days after notification of the nonconformance from D&B, D&B may, at its
option, (i) extend the time for correction of the Deliverable, (ii) accept that
Deliverable in its current condition and receive an equitable adjustment to the
price for such Deliverable to account for the reduction in value of the
Deliverable, or (iii) reject and return to IBM the Deliverable and receive a
refund of amounts paid for the Deliverable and for any other Deliverables
returned by D&B that are rendered unusable for their intended purpose due to the
inoperability of such Deliverable.

13. GOVERNANCE

      Schedule F (Governance) sets forth the global relationship structures and
governance processes the Parties will use to govern their relationship under the
Agreement.

      13.1 REPORTS.

      Exhibit F-3 (Reports) lists the periodic reports to be issued by IBM to
D&B, which should include, at a minimum, monthly performance reports, monthly
change reports and monthly reports on resource utilization.

      13.2 PROCEDURES MANUAL.

            (a) IBM shall prepare and deliver to D&B a procedures manual
("Procedures Manual") which describes the activities IBM proposes to undertake
in order to provide the Services, including, where appropriate, those
supervision, monitoring, staffing, reporting, planning and oversight activities
to be undertaken by IBM. IBM will also include in the Procedures Manual a
description of its back up and archiving practices, security procedures, change
control policies and procedures, and overall architecture plan.

            (b) Attached as Exhibit F-2 (Draft Procedures Manual Table of
Contents) is a draft table of contents for the Procedures Manual. Working in
consultation with D&B, IBM will deliver a draft Procedures Manual to D&B within
ninety (90) days after the Effective Date for review and comment. The draft
Procedures Manual will be organized generally in accordance with Exhibit F-2
(Draft Procedures Manual Table of Contents), but may include additional sections
or provisions as appropriate. IBM will incorporate or address reasonable
comments or suggestions of D&B and will finalize the Procedures Manual within
one hundred fifty (150) days after the Effective Date. The final Procedures
Manual will be subject to the approval of D&B in accordance with Section 12.

            (c) The Procedures Manual will be considered an operational
document, which IBM may revise with the written approval of D&B Global Project
Executive without the need to amend the Agreement. IBM will periodically update
the Procedures Manual to reflect changes in the operations or procedures
described in it. Updates of the Procedures Manual will be provided to D&B for
review, comment and approval.

            (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9, D&B and
its Affiliates may retain and use the Procedures Manual in their businesses and
for their benefit both during the Term and following the expiration or
termination of the Agreement for any reason. Subject to appropriate
non-disclosure agreements for the limited purpose of protecting IBM's
Intellectual Property Rights in any pre-existing IBM Materials incorporated into
the Procedures Manual, D&B and its Affiliates may permit any of their other
service providers to use the Procedures Manual during and after the Term, but
solely in connection with their provision of services to D&B and its Affiliates.
If IBM considers any pre-existing IBM Materials incorporated into the Procedures
Manual to be highly confidential, it may so notify D&B. In that case, D&B will
cooperate with IBM to permit IBM to prepare a special version of the Procedures
Manual masking the sensitive information that D&B will use when disclosing the
Procedures Manual to other service providers provided the masking can be
accomplished without detracting materially from the usefulness of the Procedures
Manual for its intended purpose.

            (e) IBM will perform the Services in accordance with the Procedures
Manual save that in the event of a conflict between the provisions of the
Procedures Manual and the provision of the Agreement, the provisions of the
Agreement shall prevail and the conflict shall be resolved in accordance with
the Change Management Process described in Section 13.3.

      13.3 CHANGE CONTROL.

            (a) "Change" means any modification to the scope of the Services or
to IBM's charges for providing the Services. "Change Management Process" means a
written procedure for considering, analyzing, approving and carrying out Changes
designed to ensure that only desirable Changes are made and that Changes made by
or on behalf of IBM are carried out in a controlled manner with minimal
disruption to the Services and D&B's and its Affiliates' business operations.

            (b) Working in consultation with D&B, IBM will develop and include a
Change Management Process in the Procedures Manual.

            (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Schedule A (IBM
Services and Solutions), D&B has retained responsibility for establishing the IT
architecture, standards (including security standards) and strategic direction
of D&B (and its Affiliates). IBM will conform to and support such architecture,
standards, and strategic direction in rendering the Services. Any Equipment and
Software provided by or on behalf of IBM that connects to D&B (or its
Affiliates') IT infrastructure will comply with such architecture, standards,
and strategic direction and will only be introduced into the D&B IT
infrastructure in accordance with the Change Management Process.

            (d) IBM will not make any Changes, except in accordance with the
Change Management Process and with D&B's approval, that may reasonably be
expected to do or result in any of the following: (i) adversely affect the
specifications, functionality, or performance of any Services; (ii) increase D&B
`s internal costs or IBM's charges to D&B under the Agreement; (iii) disrupt or
adversely affect any of D&B's or its Affiliates' business operations; or (iv)
deploy technology that is not consistent with D&B's (and its Affiliates') IT
architecture, standards and strategic direction, as communicated to IBM.

            (e) D&B will not be obliged to approve any Change proposed by IBM if
implementation of the Change would increase D&B's internal costs or IBM's
charges to D&B under the Agreement, or if it would otherwise adversely affect
D&B's or its Affiliate's business. IBM will not be obliged or authorized to
carry out any proposed Change that D&B disapproves.

            (f) Should the Parties agree on carrying out a Change, a written
Change Order shall be prepared describing the Change and its effects on the
Services, IBM's charges and any affected components of the Agreement. IBM shall
not begin performing any proposed Change until it has been authorized by a duly
executed Change Order. If IBM does so, IBM shall be deemed to have provided such
performance gratuitously.

      13.4 SUBCONTRACTORS.

      IBM may not use subcontractors to perform any material part of the
Services or any of its material responsibilities without D&B's prior written
consent. Where D&B gives its approval of a subcontractor (Approved
Subcontractor), D&B has a right to revoke such approval at any time. If D&B's
revocation of such approval is not for good cause and would cause IBM to incur
significant Out-of-Pocket Expenses, IBM may so notify D&B. In that case, D&B's
revocation will be subject to D&B agreeing to reimburse IBM for such additional
Out-of-Pocket Expenses. IBM will be responsible for all subcontractor services
as if performed by IBM and shall be D&B's sole point of contact for all issues
relating to or arising in connection with the performance of any part of the
Services by Approved Subcontractors. IBM shall remain liable at all times for
all acts or omissions of the Approved Subcontractors arising out of or in
connection with the Agreement. Any act or omission which would be a default
under the Agreement had it been done by IBM shall be deemed to be a default by
IBM under the Agreement notwithstanding the fact that it was done by an Approved
Subcontractor and not IBM. A list of the Approved Subcontractors as of the
Effective Date is set forth in Schedule K (Approved Subcontractors).

      13.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE AND IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS.

      As part of its total quality management process, IBM shall provide
continuous quality assurance and quality improvement through: (a) the
identification and application of proven techniques and tools from other
installations within its operations (i.e., "best practices"); and (b) the
implementation of concrete programs, practices and measures designed to improve
performance standards. Such procedures shall include checkpoint reviews,
testing, acceptance, and other procedures for D&B to confirm the quality of
IBM's performance, and shall be included in the Procedures Manual. IBM shall
utilize project management tools, including productivity aids and project
management systems, as appropriate in performing the services.

14. AUDITS; RECORD RETENTION

      14.1 AUDIT RIGHTS.

            (a) IBM shall maintain a complete audit trail of all financial and
non-financial transactions resulting from the Agreement. IBM shall provide to
D&B and its Affiliates, and its and their auditors (including internal audit
staff and external auditors), inspectors, regulators and other representatives
as D&B may from time to time designate in writing, access at all reasonable
times (and in the case of regulators at any time required by such regulators) to
any facility or part of a facility at which either IBM or any of its
subcontractors is providing the Services, to IBM Personnel, and to data and
records (excluding data pertaining to IBM's other customers and not to D&B, and
excluding cost data except in cases where IBM's charges to D&B are based
directly on IBM's costs: e.g., Out-of-Pocket Expenses) relating to the Services
for the purpose of performing audits and inspections of either IBM or any of its
subcontractors during the Term. For the avoidance of doubt, the purposes for
which D&B audits and inspections may be performed include the following: to
verify the accuracy of IBM's invoices; to verify the integrity of D&B Data and
IBM's compliance

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 22 -

<PAGE>

with the data privacy, data protection, confidentiality and security
requirements of the Agreement; to investigate actual or suspected intrusions
into D&B networks or systems or incidents of unauthorized access to or use of
D&B Data, and to verify IBM's compliance with any other provisions of the
Agreement.

            (b) Audits and inspections will be conducted during business hours
and upon reasonable advance notice to IBM except in the case of audits or
inspections by regulators, emergency or security audits or inspections, or
audits or inspections investigating claims of illegal behavior. D&B and its
Auditors will comply with IBM's reasonable security and confidentiality
requirements when accessing facilities or other resources owned or controlled by
IBM; provided, however, that IBM shall not restrict access by personnel
conducting such audits or inspections to any D&B Data or other resources owned
or supplied by D&B. IBM will cooperate fully with D&B and its representatives
conducting audits or inspections and provide such assistance as they reasonably
require to carry out the audit or inspection, including installing and operating
audit software.

      14.2 IBM AUDITS.

            (a) IBM shall conduct audits of or pertaining to the Services in
such manner and at such times as is consistent with the audit practices of well
managed operations performing services similar to the Services. IBM shall
perform a security audit at least annually and shall cause a Type II Statement
of Auditing Standards ("SAS") 70 audit (or equivalent audit) to be conducted
annually for each shared services facility at or from which Services are
provided to D&B and/or the Eligible Recipients. The SAS 70 audits will be
conducted in accordance with D&B's control requirements as required by D&B. IBM
shall permit D&B to participate in the planning of each SAS 70 audit, shall
confer with D&B as to the scope and timing of each such audit and shall
accommodate D&B requirements and concerns to the extent practicable, in IBM's
reasonable discretion. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, each SAS 70 audit
shall be scheduled so as to facilitate annual compliance reporting by D&B and
the Eligible Recipients under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and implementing
regulations promulgated in the thereunder. To the extent the resulting audit
report is relevant to D&B and/or the Eligible Recipients, IBM shall provide a
copy of such report to D&B and its independent auditors for review and comment
as soon as reasonably possible and in all events within thirty (30) days after
completion.

            (b) Following an audit or examination, D&B may conduct (in the case
of an internal audit), or request its external auditors or examiners to conduct,
an exit conference with IBM to obtain factual concurrence with issues identified
in the review.

            (c) IBM and D&B will meet to review each audit report promptly after
its issuance and to agree mutually upon the appropriate manner, if any, in which
to respond to the changes suggested by the audit report. D&B and IBM agree to
develop operating procedures for the sharing of audit and regulatory findings
and of reports related to IBM's operating practices and procedures produced by
auditors or regulators of either Party.

      14.3 RECORDS RETENTION.

      Until the latest of (a) three (3) years after creation of the record; (b)
all pending matters relating to the Agreement are closed; (c) the information is
no longer required to meet D&B's records management policy as disclosed by D&B
to IBM and as such policy may be adjusted from time to time; or (d) the
information is no longer required for either Party to comply with applicable
laws, IBM shall maintain and provide access upon request to the records,
documents, and other information required to meet D&B's audit rights under the
Agreement.

15. D&B RESPONSIBILITIES

      15.1 DESIGNATION OF CERTAIN D&B PERSONNEL.

      D&B shall designate an individual to serve in each of the D&B roles
identified in Exhibit F-1 (IBM and D&B Organization Structures).

      15.2 D&B RETAINED FUNCTIONS

      In support of IBM's performance of the Services, D&B will perform the D&B
Retained Functions.

      15.3 SAVINGS CLAUSE.

            (a) DUE TO THE IMPACT ANY TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT OR SUSPENSION
OF PERFORMANCE WOULD HAVE ON D&B'S BUSINESS, D&B'S FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS
RESPONSIBILITIES SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT (OTHER THAN D&B'S FAILURE TO PAY
UNDISPUTED AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF THREE MILLION US DOLLARS (US$ 3 MILLION), OR ITS
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7.2 (DISPUTED CHARGES) OF
SCHEDULE C (CHARGES)) SHALL NOT BE GROUNDS FOR TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT BY
IBM OR FOR THE SUSPENSION OF PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES BY IBM. IBM
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT D&B WOULD NOT BE WILLING TO ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT WITHOUT
ASSURANCE THAT IT MAY NOT BE TERMINATED BY IBM AND THAT IBM MAY NOT SUSPEND
PERFORMANCE EXCEPT, AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT, AS PROVIDED UNDER THE AGREEMENT.

            (b) IBM's nonperformance of its obligations under the Agreement
shall be excused if and to the extent (a) such IBM nonperformance results from
D&B's failure to perform its responsibilities; and (b) IBM provides D&B with
reasonable notice of such nonperformance and (if requested by D&B) uses
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform notwithstanding D&B's failure to
perform with D&B being responsible to reimburse IBM for its additional
Out-of-Pocket expenses for such efforts.

16. CHARGES

      Schedule C (Charges) sets forth all the charges payable to IBM for
performing the Services and the associated invoicing and payment procedures and
terms. D&B will not be required to pay IBM any amounts for or in connection with
performing the

Services and fulfilling IBM's obligations under the Agreement other than the
Permitted Charges (as defined in Schedule C).

17. SAFEGUARDING OF DATA; CONFIDENTIALITY

      17.1 D&B INFORMATION.

            (a) D&B Information shall be and remain, as between the Parties, the
property of D&B, its Affiliates and third party licensors (as the case may be).
IBM shall not possess or assert any lien or other right against or to D&B
Information. Except as expressly permitted by Section 9.6, D&B Information shall
not be: (i) used by IBM other than in connection with providing the Services;
(ii) disclosed, sold, assigned, leased or otherwise provided to third parties by
IBM; or (iii) commercially exploited by or on behalf of IBM.

            (b) D&B Information shall not be utilized by IBM for any purpose
other than that of rendering the Services under the Agreement. Upon D&B's
request, or upon termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason, D&B
Information shall be promptly returned to D&B (or its applicable Affiliate) or
destroyed by IBM.

            (c) Without limiting the generality of Sections 24.1 and Schedule H
(Data Privacy and Data Protection Laws), IBM will comply with all data
protection and data privacy laws and regulations applicable to IBM's business.
In addition, IBM will enable D&B to comply with data protection and data privacy
laws and regulations that are not generally applicable to IBM's business but are
applicable to D&B and/or its Affiliates by complying with any associated D&B
standards, policies and requirements that have been communicated to IBM in
writing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that IBM is not
providing audit, legal, or compliance advice to D&B under the Agreement.

      17.2 SAFEGUARDING D&B DATA.

            (a) IBM will establish and maintain safeguards against the
destruction, loss, or alteration of D&B Data in the possession of IBM which are
no less rigorous than those in effect at D&B as of the Effective Date, and which
are no less rigorous than those maintained by IBM for its own information of a
similar nature. D&B will have the right to establish backup security for data
and to keep backup data and data files in its possession if it chooses.

            (b) IBM Personnel shall not attempt to access, or allow access to,
any D&B Data that they are not permitted to access under the Agreement. If such
access is attained (or is reasonably suspected), IBM shall promptly report such
incident to D&B, describe in detail the accessed D&B Data, and if applicable
return to D&B any copied or removed D&B Data.

            (c) IBM shall utilize Commercially Reasonable Efforts, including
thorough systems security measures, to guard against the unauthorized access,
alteration or destruction of Software and D&B Data. Such measures shall include
the use of Software which: (i) requires all users to enter a user identification
and password prior to gaining access to the information systems; (ii) controls
and tracks

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 25 -

<PAGE>

the addition and deletion of users; and (iii) controls and tracks user access to
areas and features of the information systems. If IBM becomes aware of any
suspected, attempted or actual intrusions into D&B networks or systems, or
incidents of unauthorized access to or use of D&B Data, IBM shall immediately
report the incident to the D&B Global Project Executive.

            (d) Schedule H (Data Privacy and Data Protection Laws) sets forth
additional terms and conditions governing data privacy and data protection, and
compliance by the Parties with applicable legislation and regulations as they
relate to the performance of the Services by IBM.

      17.3 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

      IBM and D&B each acknowledge that they may be furnished with, receive or
otherwise have access to information of or concerning the other Party that such
Party considers to be confidential, a trade secret or otherwise restricted.
"Confidential Information" shall mean all information, in any form, furnished or
made available directly or indirectly by one Party to the other which is marked
confidential, restricted, or with a similar designation. The terms and
conditions of the Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information.

      17.4 OBLIGATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

            (a) Each Party shall use at least the same degree of care as it
employs to avoid unauthorized disclosure of its own information, but in any
event no less than Commercially Reasonable Efforts, to prevent disclosing to
unauthorized parties the Confidential Information of the other Party, provided
that IBM may disclose such information to properly authorized entities as and to
the extent necessary for performance of the Services, and D&B may disclose such
information to third parties as and to the extent necessary for the conduct of
its business, where in each such case: (i) the receiving entity first agrees in
writing to terms and conditions substantially the same as the confidentiality
provisions set forth in the Agreement; (ii) use of such entity is authorized
under the Agreement; (iii) such disclosure is necessary or otherwise naturally
occurs in that entity's scope of responsibility; and (iv) the disclosing Party
assumes full responsibility for the acts and omissions of such third party.

            (b) The receiving Party's obligations respecting Confidential
Information of the other Party shall continue for as long as the receiving Party
(or any of its Affiliates, contractors, agents or representatives) retains any
copies of the Confidential Information and shall survive for a period of two (2)
years following the receiving Party's destruction or return of all copies of the
Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this
section shall not in any way limit IBM's obligations to safeguard the D&B Data
pursuant to Section 17.2.

            (c) Each Party's Confidential Information shall remain the property
of that Party. Nothing contained in the Parties' obligations with respect to
Confidential Information shall be construed as obligating a Party to disclose
its Confidential Information to the other Party, or as granting to or conferring
on a Party, expressly or impliedly, any rights or license to the Confidential
Information of the other Party, and

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 26 -

<PAGE>

any such obligation or grant shall only be as provided by other provisions of
the Agreement. The obligations set forth in this Section 17.4 shall not apply to
any particular information that the receiving Party can establish: (i) was
already in its possession without any obligation of confidentiality at the time
of disclosure by the furnishing Party; (ii) was developed independently by it
without reference to any Confidential Information of the furnishing Party; (iii)
was obtained without obligation of confidentiality from a source who had the
right to furnish the information to the receiving Party without an obligation of
confidentiality; (iv) was publicly available when disclosed by the furnishing
Party or subsequently becomes publicly available through no fault of the
receiving Party; or (v) was disclosed by the furnishing Party to other parties
without an obligation of confidentiality.

      18.5 NON-INFRINGEMENT.

      Each Party represents and warrants that it shall perform its
responsibilities under the Agreement in a manner that does not infringe, or
constitute an infringement or misappropriation of, any Intellectual Property

any portion of the Services infringes any third party Intellectual Property
Rights (regardless of IBM's view of the merits of

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 27 -

<PAGE>

such claim) and IBM shall promptly inform D&B of any claims which are
hereinafter brought.

      18.6 OWNERSHIP AND USE OF SOFTWARE AND RELATED MATERIAL.

      IBM represents and warrants that it is either the owner of, or authorized
to use, all of the software and related material, including IBM Software, used
and to be used in connection with the Services, which is not otherwise owned by
D&B or its Affiliates.

      Each Party represents and warrants to the other that: (a) it has the
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into the Agreement and to carry
out the transactions contemplated by the Agreement; (b) the execution, delivery
and performance of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement have been duly authorized by the requisite
corporate action on the part of such Party and will not constitute a violation
of any judgment, order or decree; (c) the execution, delivery and performance of
the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement will not constitute a material default under any material contract by
which it or any of its material assets are bound, or an event that would, with
notice or lapse of time or both, constitute such a default; and (d) there is no
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Party, threatened which
challenges or may have a material adverse affect on the Agreement or the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

      18.8 INDUCEMENTS.

      IBM represents and warrants to D&B that it has not violated any applicable
laws or regulations or any D&B policies of which IBM has been given notice
regarding the offering of unlawful inducements in connection with the Agreement.
If at any time during the Term, D&B determines that the foregoing representation
and warranty is inaccurate, and provided the inaccuracy is of such a material
nature that it might have reasonably led D&B not to enter into the Agreement had
D&B known this before entering into the Agreement, then, in addition to any
other rights D&B may have at law or in equity, D&B shall have the right to
terminate the Agreement for cause without first affording IBM an opportunity to
cure.

      18.9 VIRUSES.

      IBM shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts so that no Viruses are coded
or introduced into the systems used to provide the Services. If a Virus is found
to have been introduced into the systems used to provide the Services, IBM shall
use Commercially Reasonable Efforts upon D&B's request to assist D&B in reducing
the effects of the Virus and, if the Virus causes a loss of operational
efficiency or loss of data, to assist D&B to the same extent to mitigate and
restore such losses. Such assistance shall be provided at no charge if the Virus
was introduced either by IBM personnel or via software, systems or other
resources controlled by IBM; otherwise, such assistance shall be provided in
accordance with the applicable pricing provisions of the Agreement. "Virus"
shall mean: (a) program code or programming instruction or set of instructions
intentionally designed to disrupt, disable, harm, interfere with or

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 28 -

<PAGE>

otherwise adversely affect computer programs, data files or operations; or (b)
other code typically described as a virus or by similar terms, including Trojan
horse, worm or backdoor, that was not authorized in writing by D&B.

      18.10 DISABLING CODE.

      IBM represents and warrants that, without the prior written consent of D&B
(which it may withhold in its sole discretion), IBM shall not insert into the
Software any code that would have the effect of disabling or otherwise shutting
down all or any portion of the Services, other than code which is inserted into
commercially available products by the product licensor in the normal course of
its business to ensure a purchaser or licensee uses the product in accordance
with the license agreement. IBM further represents and warrants that, with
respect to any disabling code that may be part of the Software, IBM shall not
invoke such disabling code at any time, including upon expiration or termination
of the Agreement for any reason, without D&B's prior written consent.

      18.11 DISCLAIMERS.

            (a) During the proposal and contract negotiation process preceding
the Effective Date, IBM has been afforded the opportunity to conduct to its
satisfaction a full examination of D&B's operations related to the Services. D&B
MAKES NO WARRANTIES THAT ARE NOT SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SCHEDULE C (CHARGES), IN NO EVENT WILL INFORMATION
DISCOVERED AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OR CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES OF ANY KIND
SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR IBM TO ADJUST THE PRICING OR TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT.

            (b) THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT ARE EXCLUSIVE. OTHER
THAN AS PROVIDED IN THE AGREEMENT, THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND THERE ARE
NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Rights, alleged to have occurred because of systems, deliverables, or other
resources provided by IBM to D&B, or based upon the performance of the Services
by IBM. IBM's foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to the extent (but
only to the extent) any claimed infringement or misappropriation is directly
attributable to any of the following: (i) the combination, operation or use of
an item provided on behalf of IBM with other specific items not furnished by,
through, or at the specification of IBM or its subcontractors; provided,
however, that this exception will not be deemed to apply to the combination,
operation or use of an item with other commercially available products that
could reasonably have been anticipated to be used in combination with the item
provided by IBM in connection with the Services: e.g., the use of application
software provided by IBM with a commercially available computer and operating
system not provided by IBM), (ii) modifications of hardware, Software, or
materials that were not made, directed, or approved by IBM, (iii) specifications
provided by the Indemnified Party if such specifications did not permit use of a

(iv) business process(es) that the Indemnified Party requires IBM to use or
follow if such business process(es) did not permit use of a non-infringing
alternative and provided IBM did not knowingly commit an infringement or
misappropriation without advising D&B in writing in advance, or (v) use by the
Indemnified Party of an item in other than its specified operating environment;

            (c) By, on behalf of, or related to, any employee of IBM, its
Affiliates, or any Approved Subcontractor, including Claims arising on or after
the Effective Date under occupational health and safety, worker's compensation,
ERISA or other applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations, or at

such person as the employer or joint employer of such person, including any
claim for employee benefits as a result thereof;

            (i) Arising out of or relating to inadequacies in the physical and
data security control systems at the locations from which IBM provides the
Services, to the extent such systems are controlled or provided by IBM after the
Effective Date; and/or

            (j) Arising out of IBM's breach of Section 24.

      20.2 D&B INDEMNITIES.

      D&B will indemnify, defend and hold harmless IBM and its Affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns
against any and all Losses arising from, related to, or in any way connected
with, Claims of or for any of the following:

            (a) D&B's failure to observe or perform any duties or obligations to
be observed or performed prior to the Effective Date by D&B under any of the
third party contracts assigned to IBM or for which IBM has assumed financial,
administrative or operational responsibility; and

            (b) Infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property
Rights, alleged to have occurred because of systems or other resources provided
to IBM by D&B unless attributable to IBM's failure to obtain any Required
Consent IBM is responsible for obtaining.

      20.3 ADDITIONAL INDEMNITIES.

      Each Party (indemnitor) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
other (indemnitee) and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, successors and assigns, against any and all Losses arising
from, related to or in any way connected with, Claims of or for any of the
following:

            (a) the death or bodily injury of any agent, employee (other than an
employee of the indemnitor), customer, business invitee, or business visitor or
other person caused by the tortious conduct of the indemnitor (except to the
extent that that the indemnitor is considered a 'special employer' under
applicable workers compensation laws and that under such law the indemnitee is
deemed to be fully protected by workers compensation insurance);

            (b) the damage, loss or destruction of any real or tangible personal
property caused by the tortious conduct of the indemnitor; or

            (c) resulting from an act or omission of the indemnitor in its
capacity as an employer of a person.

      20.4 INFRINGEMENT.

            (a) If any item used by IBM to provide the Services (other than an
item provided by D&B) becomes, or in IBM's reasonable opinion is likely to
become, the subject of a third party infringement or misappropriation Claim, in
addition to indemnifying D&B and its Affiliates and in addition to D&B's other
rights, IBM shall promptly take the following actions, at no additional charge
to D&B, in the listed order of priority: (i) promptly secure the right to
continue using the item; (ii) replace or modify the item to make it
non-infringing or without misappropriation, provided that any such replacement
or modification must not degrade the performance or quality of the affected
component of the Services and IBM shall be responsible for the cost of any new
interfaces or integration work required as a result of the replacement or
modification; or (iii) remove the item from the Services, in which case IBM's
charges shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such removal and if, in D&B's
reasonable opinion, such removal is material to all or any portion of the
remaining Services D&B may terminate such portion of the affected Services or
the entire Agreement, as the case may be, without penalty.

            (b) If any item provided to IBM by D&B for use in providing the
Services becomes, or in D&B's reasonable opinion is likely to become, the
subject of a third party infringement or misappropriation Claim, in addition to
indemnifying IBM and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 20.2(b), D&B may take
any of the following actions, at no charge to IBM: (i) promptly secure the right
for IBM and its Affiliates to continue using the item; (ii) replace or modify
the item with a functionally equivalent or similar item that is non-infringing
and bear the cost of any new interfaces or integration work required as a result
of the replacement or modification; or (iii) cease making the item available to
IBM for use in providing the Services. If D&B exercises option (iii), the
Parties will negotiate an equitable adjustment of IBM's performance obligations
and charges to reflect the withdrawal of the item from IBM's use. The foregoing
shall not apply to the extent the claimed infringement or misappropriation is
attributable to IBM's failure to obtain any Required Consent(s) for which IBM is
responsible under the Agreement.

      20.5 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES.

      The following procedures will apply to Claims for which a party seeks to
be indemnified pursuant the Agreement:

            (a) Promptly after an indemnitee receives notice of any Claim for
which it will seek indemnification pursuant to the Agreement, the indemnitee
will promptly notify the indemnitor of the Claim in writing. No failure to so
notify the indemnitor will abrogate or diminish the indemnitor's obligations
under this Section 20 if the indemnitor has or receives knowledge of the Claim
by other means or if the failure to notify does not materially prejudice its
ability to defend the Claim. Within fifteen (15) days after receiving an
indemnitee's notice of a Claim, but no later than ten (10) days before the date
on which any formal response to the Claim is due, the indemnitor will notify the
indemnitee in writing as to whether the indemnitor acknowledges its
indemnification obligation and elects to assume control of the defense and
settlement of the Claim (a "Notice of Election"). In issuing a Notice of
Election, the indemnitor waives any right of contribution against the indemnitee
unless the Notice of Election

                                     - 32 -

<PAGE>

expressly states that indemnitor believes in good faith that the indemnitee may
be liable for portions of the Claim that are not subject to indemnification by
the indemnitor, in which case the indemnitee will have the right to participate
jointly in the defense and settlement of the Claim at its own expense using
counsel selected by it.

            (b) If the indemnitor timely delivers a Notice of Election, it will
be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of the Claim
except as provided in Section 20.5(a). After delivering a timely Notice of
Election, the indemnitor will not be liable to the indemnitee for any legal
expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnitee in defending or settling the
Claim. In addition, the indemnitor will not be required to reimburse the
indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by the indemnitee in settlement of the
Claim if the settlement was agreed to without the written consent of the
indemnitor.

            (c) If the indemnitor does not deliver a timely Notice of Election
for a Claim, the indemnitee may defend and/or settle the Claim in such manner as
it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of the indemnitor, including
payment of any settlement, judgment or award and the costs of defending or
settling the Claim. The indemnitor will promptly reimburse the indemnitee upon
demand for all Losses suffered or incurred by the indemnitee as a result of or
in connection the Claim.

      20.6 SUBROGATION.

      If an indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify an indemnitee under the
Agreement, the indemnitor shall, upon fulfillment of its obligations with
respect to indemnification, including payment in full of all amounts due
pursuant to its indemnification obligations, be subrogated to the rights of the
indemnitee with respect to the Claims to which such indemnification relates.

21. LIABILITY

      21.1 GENERAL INTENT.

      Subject to the liability restrictions below, it is the intent of the
Parties that each Party shall be liable to the other Party for any actual
damages incurred by the non-breaching Party as a result of the breaching Party's
failure to perform its obligations in the manner required by the Agreement.

      21.2 LIABILITY RESTRICTIONS.

            (a) Subject to Section 21.2(c) below, in no event, whether in
contract or in tort (including breach of warranty, negligence and strict
liability in tort), shall a Party be liable for indirect or consequential,
exemplary, punitive or special damages, or any loss of profits, revenue,
business, savings, or goodwill, even if such Party has been advised of the
possibility of such damages in advance.

            (b) Subject to Section 21.2(c) below, each Party's total liability
to the other, whether in contract or in tort (including breach of warranty,
negligence and strict liability in tort) shall be limited in the aggregate to an
amount equal to the total

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 33 -

<PAGE>

charges payable to IBM pursuant to the Agreement for proper performance of the
Services for the twelve (12) months prior to the month in which the most recent
event giving rise to liability occurred; provided that if such event giving rise
to liability occurs during the first twelve (12) months after the Effective
Date, liability shall be limited to an amount equal to the total charges that
would be payable to IBM pursuant to the Agreement for proper performance for the
Services during such twelve (12) month period. Service Credits do not count
against and do not reduce the amounts available under the foregoing limitations.
For the avoidance of doubt, the cap on aggregate liability set forth in this
paragraph is intended to be an aggregate cap applicable to any and all claims
under the Agreement, including any and all claims arising under Local Services
Agreements executed hereunder, or under any Adoption Agreements executed
thereunder.

            (c) The limitations set forth in Sections 21.2(a) and 21.2(b) above
shall not apply with respect to: (i) Claims that are the subject of
indemnification; (ii) damages occasioned by a Party's breach of its obligations
with respect to Confidential Information; or (iii) any amounts payable by D&B to
IBM under the Agreement for Services properly performed.

      21.3 DIRECT DAMAGES.

      The following shall be considered direct damages and shall not be
considered consequential damages to the extent they result from a Party's
failure to fulfill its obligations in accordance with the Agreement: (a) costs
of recreating or reloading any D&B Information that is lost or damaged; (b)
costs of implementing a workaround in respect of a failure to provide the
Services; (c) costs of replacing lost or damaged equipment and software and
materials; (d) costs and expenses incurred to correct errors in software
maintenance and enhancements provided as part of the Services; (e) costs and
expenses incurred to procure the Services from an alternate source; and (f)
straight time, overtime, or related expenses incurred by D&B or its Affiliates,
including overhead allocations for employees, wages and salaries of additional
personnel, travel expenses, telecommunication and similar charges incurred due
to the failure of IBM to provide the Services or incurred in connection with (a)
through (e) above.

      21.4 DUTY TO MITIGATE.

      Each Party shall have a duty to mitigate damages for which the other Party
is responsible.

      21.5 FORCE MAJEURE.

            (a) Neither Party shall be liable for any default or delay in the
performance of its obligations under the Agreement (other than the obligations
to pay amounts due under the Agreement) (i) if and to the extent such default or
delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of
nature or acts of God, riots, civil disorders, war, government action, an order
under the Defense Production Act, or any other cause beyond the reasonable
control of such Party; (ii) provided the non-performing Party is without fault
in causing such default or delay, and such default or delay could not have been
prevented by reasonable precautions

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 34 -

<PAGE>

and could not reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing Party through the
use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means (including, with
respect to IBM, by IBM meeting its obligations for performing disaster recovery
services as provided in the Agreement) (each such event, a "Force Majeure
Event").

            (b) In such event the non-performing Party shall be excused from
further performance or observance of the obligations so affected for as long as
such circumstances prevail and such Party continues to use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to recommence performance or observance without delay,
including the performance and fulfillment of any express disaster
recovery/business continuity obligations of IBM under the Agreement. Any Party
so delayed in its performance shall immediately notify the Party to whom
performance is due by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within twenty-four
(24) hours of the inception of such delay) and describe at a reasonable level of
detail the circumstances causing such delay. A Force Majeure Event does not
excuse IBM from providing disaster recovery services.

            (c) If any Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders or
delays performance of the Services necessary for the performance of functions
reasonably identified by D&B as critical for more than five (5) consecutive
calendar days or any material portion of the Services for more than ten (10)
business days, then at D&B's option: (i) D&B may procure such Services from an
alternate source, and IBM shall be liable for payment for such Services from the
alternate source for so long as the delay in performance shall continue, not to
exceed 180 days; (ii) D&B may terminate any portion of the Agreement so affected
and the charges payable hereunder shall be equitably adjusted to reflect those
terminated Services; or (iii) D&B may terminate the Agreement as of a date
specified by D&B in a written notice of termination to IBM. If D&B terminates
the Agreement under clause (b) or (c) above, D&B shall pay IBM's charges for all
Services performed under the Agreement, but shall not be liable for payment of
any termination charges. IBM shall not have the right to any additional payments
from D&B for costs or expenses incurred by IBM as a result of any Force Majeure
Event.

22. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

      Any dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to the
Agreement, including with respect to the interpretation of any provision of the
Agreement and with respect to the performance by IBM to D&B, shall be resolved
by the process set forth in this Section 22.

      22.1 DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS.

            (a) The Parties initially shall attempt to resolve their disputes
informally, or as described in Section 22.1(b), by appointing designated
representatives who do not devote substantially all of their time to performance
under the Agreement to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such
disputes.

            (b) In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with
the Agreement that is not resolved informally, the Parties agree to discuss and
consider submitting the matter to settlement proceedings under the International
Chamber of Commerce (ICC) ADR Rules. In the event that the Parties agree to
submit the matter to settlement proceedings under the ICC ADR Rules and the
dispute has not been settled pursuant to such rules within forty five (45) days
following the filing of a request for ADR or within such period as the Parties
may agree in writing, the parties shall have no further obligations under this
Section 22.1(b).

            (c) If the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute informally,
either party may pursue its remedies under the Agreement through litigation.

            (d) Nothing in this Section 22.1 shall prevent any party seeking,
obtaining or implementing interim or conservatory measures or other immediate
relief in respect of any dispute or referring any matter relating to the
Agreement to any competent government agency, commission, court or other
authority having jurisdiction over either Party with a request that it make a
determination or take other appropriate steps for its resolution.

            (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22.1, commencement of
litigation shall be deemed appropriate if commenced by a Party to avoid the
expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior
position with respect to other creditors, or a Party makes a good faith
determination that a breach of the Agreement by the other Party is such that a
temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief is necessary.

      22.2 CONSOLIDATION OF DISPUTES.

            (a) Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or any Major Market
Services Agreement or Local Adoption Agreement to the contrary, in order that
disputes between the Parties to the Agreement, or between the parties to the
Major Market Services Agreements or Local Adoption Agreements that are similar
in nature are resolved in a consistent manner, if either Party determines that a
dispute under a Major Market Services Agreement or Local Adoption Agreement is
sufficiently similar to a dispute that is pending, or which it believes is
likely to occur, under the Agreement, such Party may elect to cause the dispute
under the Major Market Services Agreement or local Adoption Agreement to be
resolved under Section 22.1.

            (b) Such right to elect to consolidate any dispute resolution must
be exercised no later than fifteen (15) days (time being of the essence) after
(i) the Parties agree to submit the matter

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 35 -

<PAGE>

to settlement proceedings under the ICC ADR Rules in accordance with Section
22.1(b), or (ii) the service by one Party of process for litigation under
Section 0 to the other Party and to the tribunal where the action is pending,
whose proceedings shall be stayed.

            (c) If the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute informally,
either party may pursue its remedies under the Agreement through litigation.

            (d) Nothing in this Section 22.1 shall prevent any party seeking,
obtaining or implementing interim or conservatory measures or other immediate
relief in respect of any dispute or referring any matter relating to the
Agreement to any competent government agency, commission, court or other
authority having jurisdiction over either Party with a request that it make a
determination or take other appropriate steps for its resolution.

            (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22.1, commencement of
litigation shall be deemed appropriate if commenced by a Party to avoid the
expiration of an applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior
position with respect to other creditors, or a Party makes a good faith
determination that a breach of the Agreement by the other Party is such that a
temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief is necessary.

      22.2 CONSOLIDATION OF DISPUTES.

            (a) Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or any Major Market
Services Agreement or Local Adoption Agreement to the contrary, in order that
disputes between the Parties to the Agreement, or between the parties to the
Major Market Services Agreements or Local Adoption Agreements that are similar
in nature are resolved in a consistent manner, if either Party determines that a
dispute under a Major Market Services Agreement or Local Adoption Agreement is
sufficiently similar to a dispute that is pending, or which it believes is
likely to occur, under the Agreement, such Party may elect to cause the dispute
under the Major Market Services Agreement or local Adoption Agreement to be
resolved under Section 22.1.

            (b) Such right to elect to consolidate any dispute resolution must
be exercised no later than fifteen (15) days (time being of the essence) after
(i) the Parties agree to submit the matter to settlement proceedings under the
ICC ADR Rules in accordance with Section 22.1(b), or (ii) the service by one
Party of process for litigation under Section 0 to the other Party and to the
tribunal where the action is pending, whose proceedings shall be stayed.

            (c) If any such election is made, all disputes pending under the
applicable Major Market Services Agreement and/or Local Adoption Agreement shall
be consolidated with all disputes pending or raised under the Agreement. The
party who initiated the proceeding under the Major Market Services Agreement
and/or Local Adoption Agreement shall in no way be procedurally prejudiced by
such consolidation and the adverse party shall not assert any procedural defense
to the consolidated disputes pending under the Major Market Services Agreement
and/or Local Adoption Agreement (such as expiration of any statute of
limitations) which would not have been available to it under the proceeding
initiated under the Agreement.

<PAGE>

      22.3 CONTINUED PERFORMANCE.

      Except as otherwise directed by the other Party, each Party shall continue
performing its obligations under the Agreement while a dispute is being resolved
except (and then only) to the extent the issue in dispute precludes performance
and without limiting either Party's right to terminate the Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, D&B's withholding payment of disputed charges as permitted
under the Agreement will not be considered to prevent IBM from performing the
Services. In the event of a breach of this obligation (in addition to all other
remedies and rights and without the same constituting an election of remedies),
D&B shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief, without posting bond
or proving damages, in addition to all other remedies.

      22.4 GOVERNING LAW.

      The Agreement and performance under it shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the law of the State of New Jersey, United States, without
regard to any portion of its choice of law principles which might provide for
application of a different jurisdiction's law, except in the case of (i) any
dispute or claim arising under a Local Services Agreement executed hereunder, or
an Adoption Agreement issued thereunder which, according to the local laws of
the applicable country, must mandatorily be governed and resolved according to
such local laws; or (ii) any dispute or claim relating specifically to the terms
and conditions set forth specifically in a Local Services Agreement executed
hereunder, or an Adoption Agreement issued thereunder. In the case of an
exception under the preceding sentence, the local law of the applicable country
outside the United States shall apply.

23. TERMINATION

      23.1 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE BY D&B.

      D&B may terminate the Agreement for cause, in whole or in part, if IBM:

            (a) commits a material breach of the Agreement which is capable of
being cured within thirty (30) days after notice of breach from D&B to IBM, and
is not cured in such thirty (30) day period;

            (b) commits a material breach of the Agreement which is not capable
of being cured within thirty (30) days after notice of breach from D&B to IBM
but is capable of being cured within sixty (60) days after such notice and fails
to (i) proceed promptly and diligently to correct the breach; (ii) develop
within thirty (30) days following such notice a complete plan (acceptable to
D&B) for curing the breach; and (iii) cure the breach within sixty (60) days of
such notice;

            (c) commits a material breach of the Agreement that is not subject
to cure with due diligence within sixty (60) days after notice of breach from
D&B to IBM; or

            (d) commits numerous breaches of its duties or obligations which
collectively constitute a material breach of the Agreement.

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 37 -

<PAGE>

      If D&B chooses to terminate the Agreement in part, the charges payable
under the Agreement will be equitably reduced to reflect those services that are
terminated.

      23.2 TERMINATION BY IBM.

      IBM may terminate the Agreement before the end of the Term by separate
written notice of termination setting forth the termination date if, and only
if, D&B fails to pay IBM undisputed charges due under the Agreement totaling at
least three million US dollars (US$ 3 million) and does not cure the failure by
the end of the third and final notice period set forth below. For the avoidance
of doubt, the foregoing three million US dollars (US$ 3 million) limit is
intended to be an aggregate limit applicable to any and all charges under the
Agreement, including any and all charges under the Major Market Services
Agreements and Local Adoption Agreements executed pursuant to this Agreement.

            (a) IBM's first notice of overdue payment shall be sent to the
attention of D&B's Global Project Executive, with a copy to D&B's General
Counsel, shall expressly reference this Section 23.2, be identified as the first
notice, shall set forth the overdue amount and shall expressly state that IBM
may terminate the Agreement if such failure to make payment is not cured within
thirty (30) days after D&B's receipt of such notice.

            (b) If D&B does not make the overdue payment within ten (10) days
after receipt of IBM's first notice, IBM shall send a second notice to the
attention of D&B's Vice President, Corporate Controller, with a copy to D&B's
General Counsel, which notice shall expressly reference this Section 23.2, be
identified as the second notice, shall set forth the overdue amount and shall
expressly state that IBM may terminate the Agreement if such failure to make
payment is not cured within twenty (20) days after D&B's receipt of such notice.

            (c) If D&B does not make the overdue payment within ten (10) days
after receipt of IBM's second notice, IBM shall send a third notice to the
attention of D&B's Chief Financial Officer, with a copy to D&B's General
Counsel, which notice shall expressly reference this Section 23.2, be identified
as the third and final notice, shall set forth the overdue amount and shall
expressly state that IBM may terminate the Agreement if such failure to make
payment is not cured within ten (10) days after D&B's receipt of such notice

      23.3 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE BY D&B.

      D&B may terminate the Agreement (or any Major Market Services Agreement or
Local Adoption Agreement) for convenience and without cause at any time by
giving IBM at least six (6) months' prior written notice designating the
termination date. In such event, D&B shall pay IBM on the effective date of
termination, in accordance with Section 9.2 of Schedule C (Charges), the
applicable termination charges specified in Exhibit C-11 (Termination Charges),
such payment not being a condition precedent to the termination. If a purported
termination for cause by D&B is determined by a competent court or other
tribunal with appropriate jurisdiction not to have been properly a termination
for cause, then such termination by D&B will be deemed to have been a
termination for convenience.

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 38 -

<PAGE>

      23.4 TERMINATION FOR CHANGE OF CONTROL.

      If (a) another entity, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or
series of related transactions, acquires either Control of D&B (or the D&B
Affiliate that is a party to a Subscription Agreement) or all or substantially
all of the assets of D&B (or such D&B Affiliate); or (b) D&B (or such D&B
Affiliate) is merged with or into another entity, then, at any time within nine
(9) months after the last to occur of such events, D&B may terminate the
Agreement (or such D&B Affiliate may terminate its Subscription Agreement) by
giving IBM at least one hundred twenty (120) days' prior written notice
designating the termination date. In such event, D&B shall pay IBM on the
effective date of termination, in accordance with Section 9.2 of Schedule C
(Charges), the applicable termination charges specified in Exhibit C-11
(Termination Charges), such payment not being a condition precedent to the
termination.

      23.5 SPECIAL TERMINATION CONDITIONS.

      D&B may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, in the following
circumstances, without being liable for any termination charges or wind-down
expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, such termination shall not be considered a
termination for cause or a termination for convenience, but shall otherwise be
with full reservation of rights by D&B.

            (a) A Mission Critical Service Failure identified in Exhibit B-6
(Mission Critical Service Failures) occurs other than as a result of a Force
Majeure Event; or

            (b) Subject to the limitations, if any, imposed by applicable
then-current bankruptcy statutes, if IBM (a) files any petition in bankruptcy;
(b) has an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against it which is not
challenged in twenty (20) days and dismissed within sixty (60) days; (c) becomes
insolvent; (d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e)
admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature; (f) has a
receiver appointed for its assets; or (g) is subject to an event analogous to
any of the foregoing in any jurisdiction in which IBM is incorporated, resident
or is otherwise subject including any jurisdiction in which IBM is located for
the performance of the Services or any part of them.

      23.6 EXTENSION OF TERMINATION EFFECTIVE DATE.

      D&B may extend the effective date of termination/expiration one or more
times as it elects in its discretion, provided that the total of all such
extensions shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the
effective date of termination/expiration in place immediately prior to the
initial extension under this Section, at the charges then in effect. If IBM
terminates the Agreement for D&B's failure to pay undisputed charges, if so
requested by IBM, D&B will either (a) pre-pay the estimated monthly charges at
least thirty (30) days prior to each month; or (b) post an irrevocable letter of
credit or performance bond in sufficient amount to meet ninety (90) days of the
on-going charges to be incurred and D&B shall pay such on-going charges in a
timely manner. For any notice or notices of such extensions provided to IBM
within thirty (30) days of the then-scheduled date of termination/expiration,
D&B

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 39 -

<PAGE>

shall also reimburse IBM for incremental Out-of-Pocket Expenses caused by such
extension.

      23.7 TERMINATION/EXPIRATION ASSISTANCE.

            (a) Commencing six (6) months prior to expiration of the Agreement
or on such earlier date as D&B may request, or commencing upon a notice of
non-renewal or termination (including notice based upon default by D&B) of the
Agreement or of one or more of the Services and continuing through the effective
date of expiration or, if applicable, of termination of the Agreement, IBM
shall, while continuing to provide the Services, provide to D&B, or at D&B's
request to D&B's designee, the reasonable termination/expiration assistance
requested by D&B to allow the Services to continue without material interruption
or material adverse effect and to facilitate the orderly transfer of the
Services to D&B or its designee (including a competitor of IBM)
("Termination/Expiration Assistance"). Schedule J (Termination/Expiration
Assistance) contains a non-exhaustive description of the kinds of
Termination/Expiration Assistance activities IBM may be requested by D&B to
provide.

            (b) During Termination/Expiration Assistance, D&B or its designee
shall be permitted to undertake, without interference from IBM, to hire any IBM
Personnel primarily performing the Services as of the date of notice of
termination, or, in the case of expiration, within the six (6) month period
prior to expiration. IBM and its Affiliates shall waive its rights, if any,
under agreements with such personnel restricting the ability of such personnel
to be recruited or hired by D&B or D&B's designee. D&B or its designee shall
have reasonable access to such personnel for interviews and recruitment. In the
case of IBM Personnel who are employees (or contractors) of IBM's non-Affiliate
subcontractors, the following shall apply: (i) if the applicable subcontract
between IBM and the subcontractor was entered into on or after the Effective
Date of the Agreement, the foregoing shall apply without modification; and
alternatively, (ii) if the applicable subcontract between IBM and the
subcontractor was entered into prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement, IBM
shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the subcontractor to waive
its rights, if any, under agreements with such personnel restricting the ability
of such personnel to be recruited or hired by D&B or D&B's designee and the
foregoing shall apply subject to any such restrictions that are not waived by
the subcontractor.

            (c) For twelve (12) months following the effective date of
termination or expiration of the Agreement or of any Services, at D&B's request
IBM shall continue to provide Termination/Expiration Assistance. Actions by IBM
under this Section shall be subject to the other provisions of the Agreement.
Charges for such activities by IBM shall be as indicated in Section 9.3 of
Schedule C (Charges).

            (d) As reasonably requested by D&B, IBM shall provide
Termination/Expiration Assistance for any Services that D&B reduces or
terminates, or otherwise withdrawals from IBM's scope, under the Agreement.

            (e) In the process of evaluating whether to undertake or allow
termination/expiration or renewal of the Agreement, D&B may consider obtaining,
or determine to obtain, offers for performance of services similar to the
Services following

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     - 40 -

<PAGE>

termination/ expiration of the Agreement. As and when reasonably requested by
D&B for use in such a process, IBM shall provide to D&B such information and
other cooperation regarding performance of the Services as would be reasonably
necessary for a third party to prepare an informed, non-qualified offer for such
services, and for a third party not to be disadvantaged compared to IBM if IBM
were to be invited by D&B to submit a proposal. The types of information and
level of cooperation to be provided by IBM shall be no less than those initially
provided by D&B to IBM prior to commencement of the Agreement. IBM's support in
this respect shall include providing information regarding Equipment, Software,
staffing and other matters that IBM would otherwise provide as part of
Termination/Expiration Assistance.

      23.8 EQUITABLE REMEDIES.

      IBM acknowledges that, if it breaches (or attempts or threatens to breach)
its obligation to provide Termination/Expiration Assistance, D&B will be
irreparably harmed. In such a circumstance, D&B may proceed directly to court.
If a court of competent jurisdiction should find that IBM has breached (or
attempted or threatened to breach) any such obligations, IBM agrees that,
without any additional findings of irreparable injury or similar procedural
requirements to obtaining injunctive relief (including the posting of bond), it
shall not oppose the entry of an appropriate order compelling performance by IBM
and restraining it from any further breaches (or attempted or threatened
breaches).

24. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

      24.1 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS GENERALLY.

            (a) Each Party agrees at its cost and expense to obtain all
necessary regulatory approvals applicable to its business, to obtain any
necessary licenses or permits for its business and to comply with all national,
federal, state and local laws, regulations, ordinances and codes applicable to
such Party or its business (or its Affiliates).

            (b) In addition, in the case of any laws, regulations, ordinances
and codes that are specifically applicable to the Services rendered by IBM or to
IBM as a provider of Services to D&B and its Affiliates, IBM shall perform its
obligations under the Agreement in compliance with any associated D&B standards,
policies and requirements that have been communicated to IBM in writing.

            (c) If a charge occurs of non-compliance of a Party with any such
laws, regulations, ordinances, or codes affecting the Services or the other
Party, the Party so charged shall promptly notify the other Party of such
charges in writing.

      24.2 EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY.

      IBM represents that it is, and during the Term shall remain, an equal
opportunity/affirmative action employer. IBM certifies that IBM does not, and
shall not, discriminate against its employees or applicants for employment on
any legally impermissible basis and is and shall remain in compliance with all
national, federal, state, and local laws, regulations or executive orders

      25.2 PUBLIC DISCLOSURES.

      All media releases, public announcements and public disclosures by either
Party relating to the Agreement or the subject matter of the Agreement,
including promotional or marketing material, but not including announcements

until six (6) months after completion of its obligations under the Agreement a
Party shall not directly or indirectly solicit or seek to procure (other than by
general advertising), without the prior written consent of the other Party, (i)
in the case of D&B, the employment of IBM's employees engaged in the provision
of the Services during the period they are so engaged and for six (6) months
thereafter; and (ii) in the case of IBM, D&B's employees engaged in the
provision of its call center systems during the period they are so engaged and

independent contractor. Nothing in the Agreement shall create any relationship

subcontractors. Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, neither Party
(nor any of its Affiliates) shall have any authority to act or make

      Where approval, acceptance, consent or similar action by either Party is
required under the Agreement, such action will not be unreasonably delayed,
conditioned or withheld unless the Agreement expressly provides that it is in
the discretion of the Party. No approval or consent given by a Party under the
Agreement will relieve the other Party from responsibility for complying with
the requirements of the Agreement, nor will it be construed as a waiver of any

such approval or consent). Each Party will, at the request of the other Party,
perform those actions, including executing additional documents and instruments,
reasonably necessary to give full effect to the Agreement.

effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of
the waiving Party. If a Party waives any right, power or remedy, the waiver will
not waive any successive or other right, power or remedy that Party may have.

            (vii) IBM shall perform the Services described above manually in
markets such as Canada where hardcopy control functions have not yet been
automated.

      (c) ABEND Resolution.

            (i) IBM will receive a screen snapshot each day from TSO showing the
global trade jobs that ABENDed during the prior day. An "ABEND" is an abnormal
end to a processing job that occurs when D&B systems are presented with
instructions or data they cannot recognize or are asked to reach beyond their
protective boundaries.

            (ii) With respect to each ABEND job, IBM will be responsible for:

                  (A)   Analyzing the ABEND and the related JCLs; checking
                        related files, layout, pre-processors, and
                        specifications; determining the cause of the ABEND; and
                        identifying appropriate corrective action;

                  (B)   Taking action to resolve the problem causing the ABEND
                        (e.g., conducting file cleansing, sorting files,
                        eliminating bad records, updating pre-processor or data
                        transformation tool specifications); and

                  (C)   Resubmitting the job without customer contact for
                        processing.

            (iii) If, after using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, IBM cannot
resolve an ABEND without customer contact (e.g., if customer needs to make input
file layout changes), IBM shall refer the issue to a D&B team member who

D&B / IBM Confidential

will contact the customer. IBM shall then take follow up action identified by
D&B and the customer to resolve the ABEND.

      (d) Resolving Automatic Quality Check Rejects ((a)e., I Cases).

            (i) In the United States and European markets, D&B systems perform
automated quality checks on every customer file submission. Each day, IBM will
access country-specific e-mail in-boxes to identify I Cases that require further

resolve each I Case. IBM's responsibilities in this regard include:

                  (A)   Reviewing processing results and other file records from
                        previous months to determine the cause of the I Case;

                  (B)   Analyzing files and checking file layout, pre-processors
                        and specifications;

                  (C)   Identifying solutions for resolving I Cases (both by
                        reviewing solutions from previous months and developing
                        new solutions);

                  (D)   Taking action necessary to correct the I Case and
                        resubmitting the I Case job for another quality check
                        (e.g., rerunning jobs, changing processing instructions,
                        updating pre-processor and data transformation tools
                        specifications); and

                  (E)   Performing the steps above until each I Case passes the
                        automated (or manual) quality check process.

            (iii) IBM shall not contact customers directly during I Case
reviews. If IBM cannot resolve an I Case without customer contact, IBM shall
refer the issue to a designated D&B team member for further action with the
customer.

            (iv) Where authorized by D&B policies or directed by a D&B team
member, IBM shall override quality check validations, correct errors and
inconsistencies in customer files, and take any other action required to resolve
I Cases.

                              POSTAL DATA CLEANSING

      At a minimum, IBM shall perform the following postal data cleansing
services:

1. FIELD-BY-FIELD AUDIT:

-     Parse and reformat customer file at D&B

-     Verify that at least 65% of records have enough address elements to be
      helped by postal pre-processing

-     Verify that there is one address per record - variations of an address on
      a single record, i.e., a bill-to and a ship-to, or a street address and a
      P.O. Box, must be segregated into separate records to be helped by postal
      processing

-     Audit and grade contents of every field in every record for two
      characteristics: completeness: presence/absence of data; relevance: does
      it appear that what's in the field belongs there, based on proprietary
      definitions

2. CONVERT/PARSE/REFORMAT/CORRECT:

-     Unless otherwise requested, translate all special characters and character
      ornamentation to anglicized equivalents

-     Unless otherwise requested, convert to correct country location,
      isolation, and anglicized USPS standard

-     Convert to correct postal code location, isolation, and format, including
      State/Province/Prefecture/County location

3. UTILIZING POSTAL DATA FROM ALL COUNTRIES IN WHICH D&B HAS CUSTOMERS OR DATA
SOURCES:

-     Validate, correct, add City names, Postal Codes,
      State/Country/Prefecture/County

-     Validate/correct Street Address/P.O. Box information

-     Append "best" corrections to original data, return to D&B for matching to
      WorldBase, add score categorizing each address for accuracy/deliverability

-     Prior to match to D&B global data, apply global cleansing software to
      already cleansed records, to gain even more corrections, and, potentially,
      more matches

-     Use "double-cleansed" address to match to D&B. This shall enable IBM to
      "correct" additional addresses, addresses postal processing said were
      uncorrectable, when successfully matching such a record to D&B data -
      giving D&B access to the D&B version of the customer's address.

      SMS DATA NORMALIZATION PROJECT QUALITY CHECKLIST

OVERVIEW

D&B SMS Data Normalization

PRE-MATCH AND STANDARD LAYOUT PHASE

This encompasses initial review of the file, validation, match and Standard
Layout Preparation.

Verify number of records in file(s) against the TRD or the File Submission form.

Sum the dollars in the Mainframe Dataset and verify against the TRD or File
Submission Form.

      -     If it doesn't match, notify the PM via email before continuing
            further. After the PM checks with customer and confirms the
            difference, continue on.

      -     If it does match, continue.

If using the "Standard Layout First" method,

      -     Sequence the original Customer File by making a copy and appending
            the sequence number to the end. Verify that the number of records in
            the resulting new file and the last sequence number in the Stndlay
            is the same.

      -     Use this Sequenced file to create a Standard Layout and then verify
            that each field in the Stndlay has been correctly placed.

            -     Check that no fields are truncated.

            -     Check that the dollars are now formatted as whole dollars.

            -     Sum again the dollars in the Stndlay and verify against the
                  original sum. (A small difference is acceptable due to
                  rounding into a whole number.)

            -     Do a frequency count on the Country field in the Stndlay (pos
                  554-573). Make the fields consistent, ex., USA, US, United
                  States.

1. Run merger dats - IF NOT ALREADY RUN

           (SMSC100)- for large jobs or

           (SMSC101) -for small jobs (under 5000 recs)

2. run sidbs (SMSD001H)-

3. run finance (if needed) (SMSD300)

4. run erp credit (if needed) (SMSD400)

5. run pfm.seams.prodjcl(stapd01) - creates append either check off elements
    needed or use the datarat pre 'x' packages -

   Use only if you have a standard package

    These different packages can be found in

                pfm.seams.datarat(*)

6. OR if you are running a new data packet after step 3 run new data
     pack(SMSD275)

7. run pfm.seams.prodjcl(newdat2)

8. IF YOU DON NOT RUN PLUG & PLAY (SMSD275) - RUN PFM.SEAMS.PRODJCL(NEWDATA) OR

Run pfm.seams.prodjcl(returns)  -  will create full, dupes, nodun and document
      with counts

Create output per TRD. Example- txt, xls, mdb,etc.

After running the SIDBs in CFP, verify that the number of records in the
Supplier file is approximately equal to the number of unique DUNs in the file.

After running the Append, check the output messages in the log for errors.

Check the Nodetail Dataset-check a couple DUNs to see why they didn't get data
appended. Divide the number of no details by the total number of the DUNs'd
records in the file; it should be a very small percentage, ex., .05%

Check the D&B business name against the customer's business name for a
representative (first, middle, last sequence number) and make sure they match,
or are realistic.

Check in OSP-randomly check a couple of records to see if the correct elements
are appended. Ex., CEO name, SIC1, etc.

Full, Dupes, Nomatch files-Browse the mainframe datasets and confirm the layout
of each element that we are appending.

Confirm the record counts and record length

After creating output, confirm data against layout, lrecl and record counts.

                      SMS SPEND ANALYSIS QUALITY CHECKLIST

OVERVIEW

D&B SMS Spend Analysis provides an in-depth evaluation of a company's supply
base. The presentation segments a customer's supplier-base by corporate family,
industry, socioeconomic status, risk, and geography. A customer will learn who
its largest suppliers are, which ones are most dependent on its business, which
industries they operate in, and what risk is associated with those suppliers.
The outcome is a detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of a
customer's supply base. \ The deliverable is in Powerpoint and Excel.

PRE-MATCH AND STANDARD LAYOUT PHASE

This encompasses initial review of the file, validation, match and Standard
Layout Preparation.

Verify number of records in file(s) against the TRD or the File Submission form.

Sum the dollars in the Mainframe Dataset and verify against the TRD or File
Submission Form.

      -     If it doesn't match, notify the PM via email before continuing
            further. After the PM checks with customer and confirms the
            difference, continue on.

      -     If it does match, continue.

If using the "Standard Layout First" method,

      -     Sequence the original Customer File. Verify that the number of
            records in the resulting file and the last sequence number in the
            Stndlay is the same.

      -     Use this Sequenced file to create a Standard Layout and then verify
            that each field in the Stndlay has been correctly placed.

            -     Check that no fields are truncated.

            -     Check that the dollars are now formatted as whole dollars.

            -     Sum again the dollars in the Stndlay and verify against the
                  original sum. (A small difference is acceptable due to
                  rounding into a whole number.)

            -     Do a frequency count on the Country field in the Stndlay (pos
                  554-573). Make the fields consistent, ex., USA, US, United
                  States.

If using the "Standard Layout After" method,

      -     Determine which country code, if any, the file contains and use the
            Country Code conversion feature of CFP.

      -     Create the template to be used in FROMCFP job, either instream or a
            dataset. Verify the layout positions.

      -     After Match and running of the FROMCFP job which creates the
            Stndlay, verify that each field in the Stndlay has been correctly
            placed.

      -     Sum dollars and verify against original total.

POST MATCH

This encompasses the steps taken directly after match.

After running Merger/Dats, verify that the counts equal the total.

Verify the purchase dollars and record count.

DELIVERABLE PREP

This encompasses the steps taken to create Spend Analysis.

After creating the template, verify the DUNs that the PM gave you on the TRD in
OSP by cutting and pasting into OSP. Type the customer's name into template and
verify spelling against TRD.

After running the SIDBs in CFP, verify that the number of records in the
Supplier file is approximately equal to the number of unique DUNs in the file.

After running the Spend in CFP, wait a bit to make sure that it FTP'd properly
before looking at the Dataset. The job may finish in CFP, but the datasets may
not have made it to the mainframe yet.

As a quality check after the report Macros (Top.XLS) have been completed a
review of each report in the Print Preview Mode should be completed. The review
should include looking at the beginning (top) of the report and at the end
(bottom) of the report. If there are less than 100 change the title to "TOP"
without a number after it. In addition if any fields have been formatted
incorrectly (i.e. column is unusually wide) correct at this time.

DELIVERABLE PREP

This encompasses the steps taken to create Spend Analysis.

When reviewing the presentation if the title does not fit into the area provided
for the customer. The font should be made just a little smaller (i.e. from 44 to
40 or 36).

Slide 4 should be checked against the Final Proc Tabulate

Slide 11, 12, and 13 should be the same industries which appear in the first 3
positions on slide 10. Another quick check to make sure everything is okay is to
add up the dollar percents on the graph in slides 11, 12, and 13 and they should
come very close to the dollar percent on slide 10 for that industry. This does
not have to be going into the spreadsheet and getting the exact figures, I think
by just eyeballing the graphs you should have a good idea if the information is
correct or not

Slide 14 can be checked against the SICDLR01.XLS report. Reviewing these SIC
groups by dollars and number of suppliers should ensure that the correct files
were run

Slide 15 should have the same Top 10 SIC codes as are in the Top 10 on Slide 14

Slides 16, 17, and 18 should be reviewed against the SIC8DLR.XLS file. A
comparison of dollars and numbers should be completed

Slide 19 should be reviewed against the SICSUP01.XLS report. Reviewing these SIC
groups by dollars and number of suppliers and order to be identical.

Slide 20 should have the same Top 10 SIC codes as are in the Top 10 on Slide 19

Slides 21 through 28 can be checked by linking back to the Excel Spreadsheet,
however if all the links are in place and were updated when the presentation was
originally open there should not be any problems here

Slide 29 should be reviewed against the ULTSUP01.XLS report. Reviewing the
companies by dollars, number of suppliers and order of supplier should be
identical

Slide 30 should be reviewed against the ULTDLR01.XLS report. Reviewing the
companies by dollars, number of suppliers and order of supplier should be
identical

OVERVIEW

D&B SMS Enhanced MWOB

The MWOB (Minority and Woman Owned Business) package is a lower end product
designed to help customers meet federal reporting and compliance standards.

Revenue is based on the number of records submitted by the customer.

Deliverable records are all Duns Numbered records with MWOB data appended.
Records without a Duns or without appended information are not returned.

Deliverable layout is the Seams Standard layout with MWOB data appended. The
standard deliverable does not return the customer record, duplicate or no match
files.

PRE-MATCH AND STANDARD LAYOUT PHASE

This encompasses initial review of the file, validation, match and Standard
Layout Preparation.

      Verify number of records in file(s) against the TRD or the File Submission
      form.

      Sum the dollars in the Mainframe Dataset and verify against the TRD or
      File Submission Form.

            -     If it doesn't match, notify the PM via email before continuing
                  further. After the PM checks with customer and confirms the
                  difference, continue on.

            -     If it does match, continue.

               records in the Supplier file is approximately equal to the
               number of unique DUNs in the file.

   STEP 4      Run MWOBAPND from the PRODJCL library or SMSM100 in Plug n Play
               to append MWOB package to the end of the Standard Layout-

               After running the Append, check the output messages in the log
               for errors.

   STEP 5      Download file to your PC.

   STEP 6*     Make a copy of the MWOB Template Access Database

   STEP 7      Import the file you downloaded into access. An import template
               is already defined. Save the imported file to the existing MWOB
               table.

               After importing into Access template, verify that the MWOB
               table contains the right amount of records. (Should be equal to
               the total number of records.)

   STEP 8      Verify the files imported correctly and give the database to
               the project manager.

               Scan the MWOB table and make sure everything looks right; the
               product is run from the Stndlay so the customer is seeing what
               you put there. Note: Records may not be in the same sequence as
               the original file was delivered. Records are sorted by DUNS
               number, unmatched records listed first.

               *****As a check, run the reports and verify that your record
               counts and dollars are correct.

   STEP 9      PM reviews the MWOB table and deletes any inaccurate data. DO
               NOT DELETE ENTIRE RECORD.

   STEP 10     PM run the Build Source Table Marco

   STEP 11     PM runs the Combined Reports, save as a RTF by clicking on the
               "W" on the menu bar.

   STEP 12     PM runs the Extract Records for Delivery macro to create the
               "OUTPUT TO CUSTOMER" table. Use the Save As function in Access to
               create a file in the format requested by the customer.

*from Step 6 on the directions are included in the Access Database Template.

applicable customer and month-end deadlines.

4. TRANSACTION PROCESSING DATA

      The types of data for which IBM will be responsible for providing
Transaction Processing Services include Registration, Legal, Financial,
Detrimental, Press, and Ad Hoc Data (collectively, "TP Data"). Attachment A-3-1
(TP Data and TP Data Sources) contains a more detailed description of the types
of TP Data that exist as of the Effective Date and the data sources with which
IBM will be required to interface to collect it ("TP Data Sources"). The list of
data types and sources in Attachment A-3-1 (TP Data and TP Data Sources) is a
partial list of TP Data and TP Data Sources existing as of the Effective Date
from which IBM will receive TP Data and it will continue to evolve during the
Term.

      (a) "Detrimental Data" is business information relating to companies that
are subject to a legal, regulatory, or other detrimental action that may affect
D&B ratings, risk indicators, or credit recommendations. IBM shall ensure
Detrimental Data is available to D&B customers via D&B online products within 24
hours of that data first becoming publicly available.

      (b) "Registration Data" is regularly filed business registration and
related filings provided to local government entities, including: (i) VVK (i.e.,
Chamber of Commerce) Updates in the Netherlands; (ii) VAT registration
statements in Belgium; (iii) updated information received from Italian Chamber
of Commerce (e.g., address changes, principal changes, legal procedure,
cessation, etc.) in Italy; and (iv) annual returns and ad hoc business
registration data in the UK.

      (c) "Legal Data" is information about non-detrimental legal events (i.e.,
information about events that do not impact D&B ratings) relating to the
property or other assets of a business, including (i) Official Government
Register notification of registration of an unpaid bill in Italy (i.e., a
protested bill); and (ii) an official county court judgment registration in
relation to an unpaid loan or bill in the UK. Legal data is critical information
relied upon by customers making key business decisions.

      (d) "Financial Data" is business information filed by a company with an
official registry or other public institution, including balance sheet
information, financial statements, and details of directors, shareholders,
company head offices and local units.

      (e) "Press Data" is non-detrimental business information (i.e.,
information about events that do not impact D&B ratings) collected from local
press publications, including news stories about company financial results,
executive changes, financial distress data, large contracts, data about mergers,
acquisitions, disposals, and other corporate restructuring events.

5. SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS

5.1. DATA COLLECTION AND ENTRY PROCESS DESCRIPTION

      (a) IBM shall receive TP Data in a variety of formats, including paper
documents in limited circumstances and electronic files with imaged documents,
from government agencies and registries, courts, businesses, third party data
providers, and other sources designated by D&B.

      (b) IBM shall use data mining tools to locate publicly available Press
Data.

      (c) IBM shall review and interpret TP Data to gain an understanding of the
content and the revisions required prior to entering it into D&B systems and
databases. TP Data is used by customers to make key business decisions.
Inaccurate categorization of such data will lead to lawsuits and loss of revenue
to D&B.

      (d) IBM shall contact companies via telephone in Italy to verify
Registration Data received from D&B or third parties and to solicit and obtain
additional data as necessary to make the case file into which such data is to be
entered accurate, complete, and current.

      (e) IBM shall revise TP Data to correct spelling and grammatical errors
and to extract "wordy" text before keying it into D&B systems.

      (f) After reviewing, interpreting, and revising TP Data, IBM shall enter
TP Data elements into the appropriate coded fields in D&B systems in a manner
that:

            (i) Complies with the data entry procedures.

            (ii) Adheres to D&B defined formatting and standards designed to
reduce error instances.

            (iii) Satisfies all PC and mainframe system validations.

      (g) IBM shall send processed TP Data to an FTP address designated by D&B
on a regular basis (and always on a daily basis as necessary to meet the Service

5.2. ERROR RE-WORK

      D&B mainframe and relational databases have a number of system validations
designed to ensure quality and consistency of the information entered on the D&B
database by bulk loads from data sources, third party data processing vendors,
or data entry operators. Each day, these systems will generate a list of errors
that have occurred during the prior twenty-four (24) hours.

      (a) IBM shall receive the list of errors, investigate and ascertain the
cause of each error (e.g., ELVIS and VGER errors), take appropriate action to
resolve the errors, and resubmit the relevant data elements in accordance with
the applicable process.

      (b) IBM shall track the number of errors and the types of errors using
error codes proposed by IBM and approved by D&B.

5.3. ADDITIONAL IBM RESPONSIBILITIES

      (a) IBM shall follow documented D&B procedures made available to IBM
relating to the entry of TP Data and utilize the built-in validation
capabilities in tools and software used to provide the Services in order to
ensure consistency in formatting, use of abbreviations and truncation, and other
data entry attributes, including:

            (i) Adhering to D&B's formatting and standards to reduce the
instances of system validations causing error messages;

1. SECURITY

1.1. INFORMATION AND LOGICAL SECURITY

      IBM shall be responsible for maintaining the security of information in
environments under IBM's management in accordance with IBM GSD331, which will be
jointly developed and agreed to by the Parties during Transition, but at a
minimum, will be no less rigorous then the D&B security policies and procedures
in effect during the Term of the Agreement. IBM shall implement an information
security approach, approved by D&B, that follows a resource-ownership concept
for security, for validating access authority, and for regularly reviewing
authorized access for computer users (including periodically reviewing access
lists to verify that each user ID having access still requires such access).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, IBM shall follow security
procedures identified by D&B, provided that if such security procedures would
reduce the effectiveness of, or otherwise conflict with the maintenance of, the
information security otherwise being provided by IBM: (i) IBM shall notify D&B
of the impact such D&B identified security procedures would have on the
information security then being provided by IBM; and (ii) the Parties shall
resolve any conflicts in such manner as is agreed upon at the time.

      IBM's responsibilities with respect to information security shall include
the following:

      (a) Implementing and maintaining stringent security procedures to manage
and administer access of IBM Personnel to D&B Data and systems and networks used
to provide the Services. D&B shall retain authority for approval of data or

      (g) Establishing and maintaining safeguards against the unauthorized
access, destruction, loss or alteration of D&B Data under the management of IBM
that are no less rigorous than the practices of D&B (as made known by D&B to
IBM) or those IBM uses to protect similar data of its own or its other
customers.

      (h) Using best demonstrable practices to protect D&B systems from viruses
transferred from IBM personnel, networks, or equipment, including:

            (i) Installing, tailoring, updating, operating, and maintaining

and/or non-medically prescribed controlled substance and/or alcohol are
prohibited from working on IBM premises or any other IBM work environment
(including but not limited to any customer site, an IBM owned or leased vehicle,
or other location where IBM business is being conducted). Employees who violate
this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including
dismissal.

As a condition of employment, you must abide by the anti-drug statement above
and notify your manager of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation
occurring in the workplace no later than five days after such conviction.

EMPLOYEE DRUG TESTING

Drug testing is a complex process as the number of substances to be tested for
are in a large number. Even leading multinationals such as Citi do not have this
within the Indian context.

Drug problems are low in Indian environment but there are alcoholism issues.
Daksh has strict polices in place and if someone were to come to the workplace
in a drunken state, he/she is subject to strict disciplinary action which may
lead to dismissal.

We would need to understand the drugs to be tested for and cost the same within
our solution. Currently we have not budgeted for these within the costs
submitted for D & B.

Subject to applicable law, an employee may be tested for drugs and/or alcohol
whenever IBM has reasonable suspicion that the employee is under the influence
of

drugs and/or alcohol in the workplace or has violated the substance abuse
policy. Employees have the right to refuse to submit to drug or alcohol testing,
however, an employee who does so will be subject to disciplinary action, up to
and including dismissal. 'Refusal' shall include a failure to sign the
appropriate pretest forms or failure to cooperate with the IBM occupational
health services medical professional. Employees have the right to provide an
explanation for a positive result on a confirmed test and to request a retest of
the original sample at their expense by a Department of Health and Human
Services certified laboratory. Employees with confirmed positive test results
will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. IBM may
refer an employee for chemical dependency treatment or evaluation, and, where
appropriate, may require the employee to undergo drug or alcohol counseling and
rehabilitation. IBM will assist the employee in obtaining such treatment through
IBM's benefits program or the Employee Assistance Program. IBM may require
periodic testing without prior notice during and following the evaluation and
treatment period for up to two years. A confirmed positive test result during
this period will result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
Any concern regarding IBM's Substance Abuse Policy and Testing program may be
brought to the attention of Human Resources or site management.

****************************************************************

                    PRE-EMPLOYMENT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK

Within the Indian context such criminal checks are not possible as there is no
single repository with our law enforcement with which such a check could be
conducted. What Daksh does perform are background and reference checks. The aim
is to a.) verify the reported credentials of an individual and also b.) to
verify that the reported information on the individual is correct and not
falsified.

The IBM Corporation requires that all regular and non-regular candidates for
hire have a criminal background check done as an integral part of the employment
process. The applicant provides IBM with a "Security Data Sheet," which is a
part of the application for employment and asks several questions regarding
criminal convictions and pending legal action for which the applicant would be a
defendant. The application also requests from the applicant their last seven (7)
years of residences, and requires that the applicant sign a statement
authorizing IBM to conduct a criminal background check. The applicant also
received a "Consumer Report Notification", which informs the applicant that a
Consumer Report or Investigative Report may be obtained from a consumer
reporting agency for employment purposes as part of the preemployment background
investigation and/or at any time during their employment for the purpose of
evaluating the employment, promotion, reassignment, or retention as an employee.

This information is transmitted to ADP, Inc., which is a major industry provider
of pre-employment services. ADP Inc. will report on the following elements:

      1.    State, county, and federal felonies & misdemeanor convictions

      2.    Verification of the social security number

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                    A-5-1 -3

<PAGE>

The recruiter will receive the report. If there have been no criminal
convictions within the past seven (7) years, then the employment process
continues. If a conviction has been discovered, then the severity and nature of
the infraction will be assessed to determine whether or not to continue with the
employment process. Other issues considered during this review are employment
factors relative to the job and local/state legislation. Such a review would
include HR, Legal, and Security managers representing the unit for which the
candidate is being considered.

New hires also receive the following document as part of first day processing.

                         DRUG FREE WORKPLACE ACT OF 1988

Federal and state legislation requires employers to provide a drug-free
workplace and notify employees of the following:

      [x]   Unlawful manufacture, sale, distribution, dispensation, possession
            or use of a controlled substance, including cannabis, is prohibited
            in the workplace or on IBM premises (including parking lots and
            recreation areas). Employees who violate such prohibition will be
            subject to discipline, including dismissal.

      [x]   As a condition of employment, you must abide by the anti-drug
            statement above and notify your manager of any criminal drug statute
            conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than
            five days after such conviction.

                 IBM SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY AND TESTING PROGRAM

In addition to federal and state law requirements, you should know that IBM is
committed to providing its employees with a safe, healthy, and productive work
environment. Toward that end, IBM has established a comprehensive policy which
expressly prohibits the manufacture, use, dispensation, distribution, sale, or
possession of illegal drugs and/or non-medically prescribed controlled
substances on IBM premises or any other IBM work environment, including but not
limited to any customer site, IBM owned or leased vehicle, or other locations
where IBM business is being conducted.

Alcoholic beverages are not permitted on IBM premises unless specifically
approved for use at an IBM-sponsored function or event by the human resources
manager. Your manager will be happy to discuss the details of this policy with
you.

IBM recognizes the health implications of drug/alcohol abuse by its employees
and considers these conditions treatable illnesses. If you feel your job
performance or personal well-being is being affected by the use of such
substances, IBM encourages you to seek help by contacting your manager, the IBM
occupational health services department,

or, if you are a regular employee, the Employee Assistance Program. Additional
information on these subjects can be found at You and IBM (w3.ibm.com/hr);
access Your Health, Health Benefits Option-Mental Health Care Program.

                              EMPLOYEE DRUG TESTING

Subject to applicable law, an employee may be tested for drugs and/or alcohol
whenever IBM has reasonable suspicion that the employee is under the influence
of drugs and/or alcohol in the workplace or has violated the substance abuse
policy. Employees have the right to refuse to submit to drug or alcohol testing,
however, an employee who does so will be subject to disciplinary action, up to
and including dismissal. `Refusal' shall include a failure to sign the
appropriate pretest forms or failure to cooperate with the IBM occupational
health services medical professional. Employees have the right to provide an
explanation for a positive result on a confirmed test and to request a retest of
the original sample at their expense by a Department of Health and Human
Services certified laboratory.

Employees with confirmed positive test results will be subject to disciplinary
action, up to and including dismissal. IBM may refer an employee for chemical
dependency treatment or evaluation, and, where appropriate, may require the
employee to undergo drug or alcohol counseling and rehabilitation. IBM will
assist the employee in obtaining such treatment through IBM's benefits program
or the Employee Assistance Program. IBM may require periodic testing without
prior notice during and following the evaluation and treatment period for up to
two years. A confirmed positive test result during this period will result in
disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Any concern regarding IBM's
Substance Abuse Policy and Testing program may be brought to the attention of
Human Resources or site management.

                                  RIGHT-TO-KNOW

Federal law requires that any employee who works with chemicals, or regularly
enters areas where chemicals are present, must have chemical safety training and
access to information sheets for all chemicals in the area.

If you are assigned a job working with chemicals - or which requires you to
regularly enter an area where chemicals are present - and you have not attended
a foundation chemical safety class, see your manager and make sure he/she is
aware that you have not been trained before starting to work in the area.

                 IBM SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY AND TESTING PROGRAM

A drug free environment is vital to IBM, the safety of its workplace, the
quality of its product, the productivity of its employees, the interest of its
customers, and the general public. In order to achieve a drug free environment,
IBM has adopted the following substance abuse policy:

      Fluent (A) means ability to read, write and speak fluently, but with some
      grammatical errors and a slight accent.

      Fluent (B) means ability to understand without error all written
      communication including legal terms and to write without grammatical
      error. Ability to speak fluently is not a requirement.

      Fluent (C) means ability to understand without error all written
      communication including legal terms and to write confidently. Ability to
      speak fluently is not a requirement.

      Near Native: means ability to read, write and speak fluently with no
      grammatical errors and a neutral accent.

      Native means ability to speak, write, and understand the language and the
      culture, making no grammatical errors, in a manner that is
      indistinguishable from a person born and raised in the country in which
      the Services are being provided.

      Hiring is conducted similarly in each location but utilizing different
      agencies. In Greenock, IBM uses Manpower to identify candidates with
      required language capability that are then placed through a filter process
      that includes initial screening, telephone screening, isometric testing
      for movement between countries (if applicable) and face to face interview
      as final selection. Additionally, references are taken and verified as a
      final safe guard prior to employment. Suitable candidates then go through
      the appropriate on-boarding and induction programs.

      In Budapest IBM will use Adecco to identify and recruit both native and
      fluent candidates to meet the requirements specified above. These
      candidates go through a similar process as those in Greenock prior to
      on-boarding and induction training. Employees hired in Greenock and
      Budapest will go through business culture indoctrination as well as D&B
      specific training.

      The graphic below shows the management structure by location that will be
      put in place by IBM in Europe to deliver services to D&B. This particular
      example shows steady state after twelve (12) months transition with the
      relevant Team Leader, and coverage by language and location.

      (ii)STAFFING - North America Operations - India

      In New Delhi, IBM will identify, select and recruit candidates directly
      and perform on-boarding and induction programs. IBM and D&B will work
      together to identify candidates based on these skills profile and language
      requirements to ensure meeting D&B high quality expectations.

      IBM will provide accent neutralization and business culture indoctrination
      training. This training lasts for a period of 4 weeks to make certain the
      candidates can communicate clearly and fluently in English and has an
      understanding of the business culture and geographic characteristics. One
      (1) additional week of training on D&B specific terminology is also in
      plan. More detail is provided in the description of India based training
      set forth below. During the Transition of those Services performed out of
      India that were formerly performed in French Canadian, the Parties will
      meet to review the language performance of such Services and determine
      whether those functions will remain in India or be relocated to Greenock,
      Scotland. If D&B determines that such functions shall be relocated to
      Greenock, then the Parties will split the cost differential involved in
      relocation of such Services from India to Greenock, and the transfer of
      such Services will be determined in accordance with the Change Control
      Process. India (New Delhi and Bangalore) voice, accent and client specific
      training is as follows:

      Hiring for the D&B processes will be handled by the IBM center hiring
      teams. In the Bangalore center, there is a pool of available resources
      that can be immediately deployed to perform the Services. The agents in
      the Bangalore center have already undertaken a voice and accent
      neutralization training and have prior experience in complex processes
      thereby having the requisite skills to handle the D & B processes.

      The Agents based in the India centers, including those specifically
      mentioned above in Bangalore will participate in the four (4) four weeks
      accent neutralization training described in Section M (Training) unless
      such are certified by IBM prior to completion of the four (4) weeks accent
      neutralization training. During the Term, D&B & IBM shall perform quality
      assurance reviews of the certification process and update the process, if
      applicable, based on the results of such reviews.

      As an integral part of our delivery strategy, IBM will dedicate resources
      for project specific functions (e.g., operations, training and technology)
      - thereby building a virtually independent customer centric operation
      known as a "Business Unit." (BU). The BU's are highly scalable and
      client/domain focused and run as separate profit centers. The BU Head
      coordinates across functional areas of his/ her BU in order to ensure that
      key operations metrics are delivered on an ongoing basis. This ensures
      that all cross-functional groups (such as operations, quality, training &
      transitioning, recruitment, local administration and finance & control)
      are working in a close-knit fashion and reporting to the same entity.

      The business unit is supported by the "Talent Transformation Business
      unit" which is responsible for the basic induction and voice and accent
      training and is dedicated to source, recruit and train employees before
      their deployment for any process retention management.

      A-1 (Contact Center Services) will be dedicated to performance of such
      Gold Services. Charges for the FTE's performing such Services are set
      forth in Exhibit C-2 (Pricing Tables).

      Retention Management:

      In order to manage retention, IBM will offers competitive salaries,
      training, and growth opportunities to ensure candidates feel part of the
      IBM culture. IBM will run separate programs for reward & recognition that
      compliment the IBM retention strategies. The following chart illustrates
      examples of how IBM will implement retention initiatives by focusing on
      career growth/development and rewards/recognition.

      photographs and electronic identification.

2. BUDAPEST, HUNGARY

      IBM Shared Services Center, City Gate Budapest

      IBM currently employs approximately 250 employees in Budapest with a
      capacity to grow to over 1,000. IBM's Budapest location provides the
      fluent language capability and attractive labor rates.

      The location situated at City Gate where IBM will perform the Services is
      an 8 story modern building with security access and photo ID required on
      each floor, with a manned security reception area on the ground floor. The
      layout is generally open planned on each floor and will be structured in a
      typical Contact Center environment.

3. NEW DELHI, INDIA

      IBM New Delhi India is a recent acquisition of Daksh, a significant
      existing Contact Center provider with locations in New Delhi, Mumbai and
      Bangalore. The New Delhi location encompasses two modern multi story
      linked buildings which are also set up in a typical Contact Center
      environment via open plan, which adheres to the security requirements set
      forth in Exhibit A-5 (Cross Functional Services). Each building has its
      own independent security on the ground floor, with the requirement for
      visible ID badges with photos being shown.

4.  BANGALORE, INDIA

      Technology Park Limited in Bangalore. Encompassing two floors, this
      facility has round the clock security with Guard Patrols, CCTV, and Door
      Alarms.

      Attachment A-7-1 (Transition Solution) sets forth the distribution of work
      by location.

(C) QUALITY CONTROLS AND MONITORING - EUROPE AND INDIA

      IBM will administer programs to make certain of Quality Assurance through
      contact monitoring/observations and coaching techniques. This process will
      be adopted in each location dependent on contact volume and the
      availability of tools, whether these are available initially or after
      transformation. IBM will have dedicated resources to perform quality
      monitoring functions.

      (i) Contact Quality Observations

      The call observation process will provide the following:

      Customer Interactions

      Accuracy of data entry

      Opportunity Completeness

D&B/IBM Confidential

                                       11

<PAGE>

      Data Record Completeness

      (ii) IBM and D&B jointly agree to a methodology to measure customer
      satisfaction (e.g., IVR, email survey). Within one (1) year after the
      Effective Date the methodology established by the parties will be agreed
      to and implemented in accordance with Exhibit A-5 (Cross Functional
      Services).

Remote Monitoring

      With reasonable notice provided to IBM, D&B will have access to
      unscheduled remote voice based Agent/call monitoring by pre-defined D&B QA
      specialists for the purposes of reviewing call handling for the sites in
      India and Greenock will be granted. This function will be implemented
      during Transition. This technology will be adopted following the
      Transformation in Budapest. Monitoring of calls in Budapest will be
      onsite. IBM has the ability for recording voice and data and will work
      with D&B as set forth in Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services).

      (ii) Coaching

      IBM Team Leaders and Subject Matter Experts will regularly review calls
      with the Call Agents to reinforce positive points in the call, as well as
      providing helpful hints for on-going improvements. Every Call Agent has
      calls reviewed with IBM Team Leaders and Subject Matter Experts monthly
      and the results of such review will be tied to annual performance
      evaluation.

      During Transition, IBM will work with D&B to jointly establish appropriate
      measurement tools for measuring Agent/Customer interaction, opportunity
      completion, data entry accuracy and data record completeness. IBM and D&B
      will jointly develop a calibration schedule for call monitoring in
      accordance with the methodology set forth in Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center
      Services). The calibration meetings will occur at a minimum of one (1)
      time per month with weekly meetings during Transition. The frequency of
      such measurement will decrease as IBM becomes more proficient over time.
      The calibrations session will be conducted with D&B designated Quality
      Assurance personnel and IBM Quality Assurance, supervisors and team leads.

      IBM has the capability for live remote monitoring in New Delhi and
      Bangalore locations, and will offer voiced based capability to a limited
      number of D&B QA personnel for unscheduled monitoring of agent calls. D&B
      will notify IBM of its intention to monitor calls with reasonable prior
      notice. During Transition, the capability for live remote monitoring will
      be implemented. IBM will utilize a dedicated team as part of the Quality
      Assurance process for the scheduling, evaluating and coaching of agents
      for the purpose of improving service, productivity and customer
      satisfaction.

      The quality call monitoring evaluation process will be consistent across
      all of the Services. There may be some unique geography requirements
      (e.g., privacy laws) that will require differences. Where possible, the
      form developed, the scoring technique and the weighting per standard will
      be consistent. IBM and D&B will review the QA tools and make adjustments
      to insure that a high level of customer service and satisfactions is
      achieved.

EUROPE SPECIFIC:

      The quality performance tool currently used in the Greenock location is
      E-Talk. E-Talk capability includes automated tool performance for the
      scheduling, collection, scoring and reporting of sampled observations to
      be utilized by IBM & D&B. The E-Talk functionality will be described in
      more detail in section D - Supplier Tools, Processes and Methodologies.
      This technology will be adopted following the Transformation in Budapest.
      Call observations in Budapest will be onsite and manual until that time.

INDIA SPECIFIC:

      The India specific solution currently uses Nice evaluator, which includes
      automated tool performance for the scheduling, collection, scoring and
      reporting of sampled observations to be utilized by IBM & D&B. IBM will
      provides reports at D&B's requests that contain periodic Assessment tests
      scores used to evaluate the revised training needs. D&B's access to this
      tool is described above. Nice evaluator will be utilized as of the
      Effective Date.

(D) SUPPLIER TOOLS, PROCESSES AND METHODOLOGIES

      IBM Six Sigma Process

      IBM will implement a Six Sigma or other similar best practice programs
      through process owners in the service delivery organization.

      IBM will implement the six sigma or similar best practice processes to all
      locations where the Services are performed. As part of IBM's ongoing
      management process, IBM will review performance in all functional areas.
      When an area is not performing up to standards, or when a significant
      issue arises, IBM will promptly take corrective action using six sigma or
      similar processes. If IBM is unable to achieve the required improvements
      or a Service Level is not being achieved for three (3) consecutive months,
      IBM will initiate a process improvement effort, which includes the
      formation of a team of people familiar with the process requiring
      attention, evaluation of the root cause(s) of the problem, development of
      an action plan and time lines, implementation of the selected
      improvements, and track the performance of the function until all
      objectives are achieved. IBM will communicate the plans, milestones and
      progress against plan for these activities. A process improvement effort
      may also be invoked by mutual agreement of the Parties when operational
      issues arise or there is a mutual benefit to improve service, quality or
      customer satisfaction.

(F) SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS

      IBM will utilize people processes and technology to enhance and transform
      operations in a manner that grows revenue, reduces costs, improves
      productivity, increases quality, and leads to greater customer
      satisfaction.

      Over the life of the project, IBM and D&B will engage in a variety of
      activities that will re-engineer processes, and deploy new technology
      platforms to bring about significant operational and financial benefits.
      These activities are set forth in Attachment A-7-3 (Transformation).

      During Transition, IBM will implement immediate improvements in
      operational effectiveness through a process known as "Operational
      Enhancement". The goal of this effort is to evaluate the current state of
      operations as performed by D&B, and identify changes that can be
      incorporated into the initial stages of the program to bring about
      productivity and quality improvements from the start of operations. IBM
      will communicate the plans, milestones and progress against plan for these
      activities.

APPROACH

      Services that will be included in the Operational Enhancement include the
      functions such as:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                <C>
      Technical Support Request U.S.               Service Failures U.S.

      Complaints U.S.                              Contract Administration
</TABLE>

      As these operations are migrated into an integrated Contact Center
      operation, there are two significant areas of opportunity that IBM will
      provide: Workforce Management and Process Redesign.

D&B/IBM Confidential

                                       13

<PAGE>

      The Workforce Management effort will enable the wide-spread application of
      best practice planning, scheduling, adherence monitoring, and performance
      standards and metrics across the operation.

      Process redesign will focus on modifying the way in which jobs are
      structured and work is performed. This includes the application of both
      agent and site level best practices across the operation, as well as the
      identification of areas that can benefit from either broadening or
      narrowing the scope of specific job functions (depending on the nature of
      the tasks being performed).

      It is expected that the effort would be conducted in two (2) phases over a
      4-6 week period, with follow on activities to be determined at the and of
      that period. The phases will include the following

      Phase 1

-     Process and Job Design Workshops

      -     Brainstorming sessions with D&B engagement teams (IBM and D&B)

      -     Specification of any additional data required from D&B

      -     Agreement on D&B and IBM points of contact for the effort

      -     Specification of requirements for D&B SMEs who will be critical for
            Phase 3

      -     Data gathering and review

-     Workforce Management

      -     WFM Reviews

            -     Interviews with appropriate D&B team

            -     Review of current WFM KPIs

            -     Review of current management reports

            -     Review of Blue Pumpkin utilization

            -     Review of WFM processes

      -     Identify Best Practices in WFM

      -     Gap Analysis

      -     Change WFM KPIs

      -     Identify opportunities for headcount reductions

      -     Validate FTE reductions

      Phase 2

-     High level "as-is" process understanding

      -     Confirm site visit calendar/agenda

      -     Communicate site visit plans to D&B participants

      -     Visit D&B sites side by side observations w/ D&B functional
            resources and SMEs

      -     Document understanding of functions (build process scenarios)

-     Create newly defined "to be" processes

      -     Determine process improvements

 (G) COMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE

            In the pre-Transformation time period, IBM will heavily utilize
            D&B's existing systems and technology infrastructure to execute the
            work being performed in our Contact Centers. Appropriate security
            measures will be established to safeguard D&Bs information
            resources.

            During the Transition, IBM will be implementing sites and will be
            providing connectivity back to the D&B network as set forth in
            Exhibit A-6-5 (Technology Solution). IBM will continue to utilize
            D&B `s voice network for routing calls to existing and IBM
            implemented Contact Centers during Transition and while Inbound
            Contact Services are performed in D&B locations. By the end of the
            Transformation stage, IBM will have implemented new technology and
            tools for routing of calls and providing a more effective End User
            experience.

            Information documenting the new voice architecture and other
            Technology improvements as a result of Transformation is in the D&B
            Transformation Solutions Document.

            they arrive and IBM will utilize such information to improve service
            escalation procedures. D&B will provide IBM with internal contacts
            (name, title, telephone no) who will be responsible for researching
            failures and providing alternative solutions/strategies. IBM will
            provide a logging and tracking system that will log the issue, time,
            date, owner and content. IBM will log, monitor and escalate to
            achieve the necessary solution and will provide monthly reports on
            closed and out of line situations.

            IBM follow a multi-level escalation process for issues/ complaints
            not redressed appropriately.

<PAGE>

            The level of escalation for End User issues will be determined by
            the following criteria:

      -     Nature of problem (e.g., a consistent quality problem with an agent
            is typically an Operations Manager issue while non-performance on
            global quality standards would be an issue directly escalated to the
            Global PE and the Center Head).

      -     Redress of problem at the previous level - Any problem not
            satisfactorily resolved in a limited time period at the level where
            it is discussed can be potentially escalated to the next level as
            summarized below.

<TABLE>

LEVEL 1     Escalation to concerned Operations Manager
LEVEL 2     Escalation to DPE or a corresponding IT director
LEVEL 3     Escalation to Global PE and GM of concerned Business Unit
LEVEL 4     Escalation to Center heads for complex issues/ problems
</TABLE>

(N) SALES SKILLS

            The majority of people performing the Services will be of graduate
            caliber with excellent communication skills. IBM will seek sales
            skills and where possible experience in recruitment of positions
            that have a revenue generation responsibility. In addition to the
            basic training program on D&B's products, training will be given to
            the agents to enable them to actively Cross-Sell and Up-Sell D&B's
            products and services, including the ability to recognize an
            opportunity, create demand and then close that opportunity with a
            successful sale.

            IBM will perform warm transfers of high prospect sales leads as
            further described in Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services). If an
            Agent attempts to perform a warm transfer and D&B places the call on
            hold for longer twenty (20) seconds, then IBM shall generate such
            lead as a normal lead and not a warm transfer.

            IBM will implement processes/technologies to enhance sales (e.g.,
            scripting, knowledge ware, and other technologies) to facilitate
            closing a D&B sale. IBM will incent revenue generation performance
            by: 1) hiring people into revenue generating roles with a
            demonstrated sales ability, where possible and fit a skills and
            personality profile that will be reviewed with D&B; 2) establishing
            objectives for functional groups of IBM Personnel depending on D&B's
            business needs and objectives agreed with the IBM project office; 3)
            establishing specific individual incentives and recognition which
            includes performance rating attainment, providing overachievement
            targets and selected incentives, or working with D&B to jointly
            offer additional incentive for special promotions; 4) Develop and
            provide training that supports the generation of sales and lead
            identification; 5) Implement processes for the measurement and
            evaluation of sales processes, groups, and agents; and 6) Provide
            incentives to encourage the expansion of revenue achievement and the
            targeting of individual or groups of products and services.

IBM SOLUTION DOCUMENT: CONTACT CENTER - EU FILE UPDATE SOLUTION

(A) SOLUTION OVERVIEW

(i) CURRENT D&B ENVIRONMENT

The File Update (including File Build) Service, as more particularly described
as part of the Acquisition Services set forth in Section 3.1 of Exhibit A-1
(Contact Center Services Statement of Work) is currently provided to D&B by a
third party supplier, Astron BPO Limited ("Astron"), from Leicester, United
Kingdom ("EU File Update Services").

(ii) IBM STEADY STATE SOLUTION AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH

      (a) SOLUTION OVERVIEW

With support from both D&B and Astron, IBM will migrate the EU File Update
Service from Astron to an IBM delivery center in Bangalore, India.

This solution was determined by IBM after considering a number of factors,
including availability of skills, contact center facilities, language needs,
robustness of labor markets, political ramifications, costs and ease of
Transition.

Migrating the EU File Update Services to Bangalore, India will enable IBM to
meet D&B's requirements and achieve its guiding principles of reducing costs
while increasing customer satisfaction and improving revenue with minimal
disruption to D&B's customers.

The following represents the delivery environment in which IBM will provide the
EU File Update Services following Transition (2Q05)

HOURS OF OPERATION

IBM are required to run a split shift resource pattern to allow a small volume
of calls to be made before 09.00 and after 17.00 GMT. This procedure has been
put in place through experience of poor availability of small businesses -
typically sole traders and partnerships in the construction or haulage
industries - during standard business hours. IBM is therefore required to
provide cover between 08.00 - 19.00 GMT Monday to Friday to increase the
opportunity to contact these types of businesses.

UK CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTIONS

      FILE BUILD CAMPAIGN

      NEW BUSINESSES

      There is a requirement to add new business records to the database. D&B
      have a contract with a company who supplies D&B with this data monthly.
      D&B may also receive such

<PAGE>

                        IBM Business Consulting Services

                                                                      [IBM LOGO]

      records from a variety of other sources e.g. e-partners. The records need
      to be called to confirm and collect the data indicated. It is essential
      that duplicates are not created on the database. More in-depth questions
      are asked to establish if the record for that business already exists on
      the database, or to establish if it is a branch location, in which case it
      needs linking to the correct headquarters record. This is currently done
      by searching the D&B database using Dunstel and CD Locator during the
      interview.

      FILE MAINTENANCE CAMPAIGN

      "TRIGGERS"

      A monthly file of records is received from a bureau that monitors D&B
      telephone numbers. As changes occur, the records are passed to D&B to
      contact and verify the changes and update the records. The changes will be
      either to the business name or address listed for that telephone number.
      These records could be corporate, non-corporate or branches. Each of these
      records will already be on the database, and have a DUNSnumber, a campaign
      reference number and in some case an internal tracking number although an
      update may be needed to a different DUNSnumber to the one originally
      presented.

      INVALID TEL NO CASES/GONE AWAYS

      "Trigger" service will also supply D&B with records where the telephone
      number is invalid. In these cases D&B sometimes search for a new telephone
      number for this business. When a new number is found, the business needs
      calling. D&B also receive back from customers mailing pieces that could
      not be delivered - "Gone Aways". In a lot of these cases, the telephone
      number is correct, and by calling these records the new address can be
      found. These records are de-duplicated against the other "Trigger" records
      to ensure there is no duplication of work. Each of these records will
      already be on the database, and have a DUNSnumber, although an update may
      be needed to a different DUNSnumber to the one originally presented.

      DATA MAINTENANCE

      D&B will also require other records to be called, e.g. to collect missing
      data, or if the record is part of a regular update cycle. Each of these
      records will already be on the database, and have a DUNSnumber. The data
      elements required to be collected during each interview are as previously
      submitted to IBM, as described in Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services
      Statement of Work).

      QUALITY STANDARDS

      In performing the EU File Update Services, IBM will achieve the overall
      quality standards ("Quality Standards") referenced in the Schedule B
      (Service Levels). In summary, the achievement of the Quality Standards
      will be assessed as follows:

      ACCURACY: i.e., the employee figures quoted should accurately represent
      the actual employee figure of the business.

      COMPLETENESS: i.e., an employee figure should be collected on x% of cases
      updated.

      TIMELINESS i.e. the campaign is completed on time.

      PROCESS ADHERENCE: i.e., where defined processes are followed, e.g.,
      non-creation of duplicates.

To ensure consistent adherence to the Quality Standards, D&B will perform
regular quality checks on a statistically valid sample of records processed by
IBM and provided to D&B.

(b) TRANSITION OVERVIEW

In order to implement IBM's solution, there will be a period of Transition
broken into two (2) components: Managerial Transition and Operational
Transition. The Managerial Transition period will achieve the following
activities; establish the governance structure, harvest knowledge of D&B and
Astron's existing processes and skills, train the IBM trainers, and fit out
IBM's delivery centers with the necessary technology to provide the EU File
Update Services to D&B. In undertaking the technology installation, IBM will
implement and install the required connectivity, desktops, software and
applications and will configure the dialer with interfaces and front-end
systems. During the Operational Transition, IBM will hire, train and bring live
the EU File Update Contact Center agents required to support D&B's requirements.

Following Transition, the EU File Update Services will be delivered from IBM's
Bangalore, India delivery center. The EU File Update Services will be performed
by experienced delivery resources with language skills matched to D&B's
requirements. The IBM Bangalore delivery center will perform continuous process
and quality improvement programs to increase efficiency and reduce costs.

The EU File Update Service-specific Transition activities are set out in further
detail in Exhibit A-7 (Transition and Transformation).

An IBM team comprising of a trainer, quality auditor and team lead will travel
to the United Kingdom for a six (6) week period in order to understand the EU
File Update process, carry out work shadowing and produce process maps. In the
first week of the visit, D&B and IBM will jointly develop and agree the detailed
agenda for the visit and shall document the agreed objectives, Deliverables and
acceptance criteria, and gate reviews. Currently, the plan is for a six (6) week
visit to be conducted as follows:

      PHASE 1 - CLASSROOM TRAINING

      This phase comprises two (2) week period of classroom training staged at
      D&B's facility at High Wycombe, United Kingdom and conducted by D&B
      trainers. The objective of this training will be to teach the IBM team
      about the process and familiarize the IBM team with the D&B business
      environment and work culture. At the end of the training, the Parties will
      assess progress made, the intention being that the IBM team should have
      acquired a sufficient understanding of the process to move forward into
      phase two (2) of work shadowing.

      PHASE 2 - WORK SHADOWING

      This phase comprises a two (2) week period of work shadowing based
      primarily at D&B's High Wycombe, United Kingdom and Almelo, Netherlands
      facilities to enable the IBM team to work with the D&B representatives and
      obtain hands on experience of the UK Service Failure process. In addition,
      D&B will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain Astron's consent to
      am IBM site visit to Astron's Leicester facility to enable the IBM team to
      watch live transactions and gain further understanding of the delivery
      model and process

      design. If Astron's consent is not obtained, the Parties will agree a
      work-around based at D&B's High Wycombe, United Kingdom facility.

      PHASE 3 - PROCESS MAPPING/IMPROVEMENT

      This phase comprises a two (2) week period of process mapping and process
      improvement based at D&B's High Wycombe, United Kingdom. During this time,
      the IBM team will be assisted by the D&B team, as reasonably required by
      IBM. D&B will provide guidance to IBM by reviewing the work done by IBM,
      and verifying, checking for accuracy and completeness, and suggesting
      changes. The Parties expect this to be an iterative process which will
      continue until D&B and IBM feel that the process has been correctly
      mapped.

Subsequently, the IBM team will return to India and will train the rest of the
IBM team ("train the trainer"). During this period, D&B will provide remote
support to the train the trainer process and certification of IBM trainers
through the use of video conferencing, remote call monitoring and similar
techniques, providing guidance and remedial feedback. If the Parties agree that
the train the trainer process is not proceeding as required, D&B shall, acting
reasonably, consider any request from IBM for D&B to send a subject matter
expert to IBM's Bangalore, India facility to assist the process.

The current ramp up plan is at six (6) weeks. During the Knowledge Transfer
("KT") phase, IBM will collect baseline data on the process performance to help
determine what the exact ramp up phase will be. KT is scheduled for a six (6)
weeks on site activity. After two (2) weeks, four (4) weeks, and six (6) weeks
of the KT phase, D&B and IBM will jointly review the possibility of altering the
six (6) week ramp up period. Any decision will be taken based on the data
collected by the IBM team and the increased knowledge of the process. Handover
over of the service will be dependent on satisfaction of acceptance criteria
developed in accordance with Annex A-7-1 (Transition Solution) in order to
demonstrate the achievement of the required level of effectiveness. The IBM
trainer and quality auditor will lead the coaching process, assisted by D&B
subject matter experts, as described above.

      (c) IBM VALUE PROPOSITION

IBM will work to provide delivery value to D&B through the following activities:

-     Assembling a delivery team with deep expertise in global transitioning and
      Contact Center delivery to mitigate risk; effect a smooth and efficient
      Transition of the EU File Update Services; as described in Exhibit A-7
      (Transition and Transformation); and to perform the Transaction Processing
      Services in accordance with the Agreement;

-     Leveraging an in-place IBM delivery center and infrastructure to reduce
      costs and realize speed to benefit;

-     Focusing on continuous improvement with rigorous Six Sigma methodology to

(B) IBM STAFF AND FACILITIES

(i)  SERVICE DELIVERY LOCATIONS

In order to meet D&B's business objectives and requirements, IBM will use its
delivery center located in Bangalore, India to provide the EU File Update
Services. The business objective trade-offs factored into the choice of location
choice include: language availability vs. labor cost, and customer satisfaction
vs. labor cost.

(ii) STAFFING PLAN

IBM will migrate all EU File Update Services from Leicester, United Kingdom to
Bangalore, India. The current volumes are seven hundred thousand (700,000)
outbound calls a year, of which (five hundred and eighty thousand) 580,000 are
expected to be related to File Update and one hundred and twenty thousand
(120,000) are expected to be related to File Build. Based on these call volumes
and "number of calls per hour" figures provided by D&B, IBM's staff plan for EU
File Update Services is:

IBM will cross train its service representatives between the File Update and
File Build processes to enable resource leveling and flexibility.

In addition to the IBM customer service representatives, IBM will provide
managerial and quality support to the team and will provide the following
personnel:

      -     Team Lead;

      -     Quality auditor;

      -     Dialer expert; and

      -     Trainer.

Thus, the total headcount is twenty-nine (29). In addition, IBM will work with
D&B each knowledge transfer check point during Transition to determine whether
this number of managerial and quality support roles is appropriate for the
detailed training and ramp up approach that is ultimately developed and agreed
between the parties during Transition. Thereafter, the Parties will assess the
level of training resource on an ongoing basis during the Term.

Based on volume projections from D&B, IBM will adjust staff accordingly to meet
increased volumes. If the projections are for increased volumes on a regular
basis that will require IBM to increase its staff, IBM will do so accordingly.
If the projected increased volumes are temporary or cyclical, IBM will utilize
overtime, nights and weekends to accommodate the volume spikes. IBM will also
cross train all in-scope EU File Update staff. All staff will be able to support
volume spikes to protect D&B revenue and ensure achievement of Service Levels.

(iii) STAFFING PROFILES

(C) TOOLS, PROCESSES, AND METHODOLOGIES

(i) TOOLS AND SOFTWARE

The following chart describes the tools and software required to perform EU File
Update Services that each Party shall provide during the Term:

                                                               format and send to D&B
UK Royal Mail Postal Address File (PAF)
Bank reference file
Other appropriate reference files
</TABLE>

(ii) FILE EXCHANGE

D&B will send data to IBM in the form of XML files; IBM shall return such data
to D&B in fixed field text format. D&B will manage campaigns and provide IBM
with the campaigns. D&B will be using an Internet management tool for to manage
campaigns. FTP extracts of the XML files will be sent by IBM to the IBM FTP
server in Bangalore. XML files will have all the details that IBM has to verify
on an account (details like DUNS #, Address etc will be there in the XML files).
The files will also contact a campaign number and a field for agent/operator
identification code

XML file formats will be the same for File Build and File Maintenance; but since
File Build are new records, there will be less incoming data in them. File
Maintenance, on the other hand, are existing accounts with only some details to
be verified, hence XML files for File Maintenance contain more data. For File
Builds, a dummy DUNS# will be provided to identify a record.

The XML files will be loaded into the dialer using the interface. Front-end
system will be developed to accept all the information. A predictive dialer will
be used for outbound calling. For each data field in the XML file, IBM has to
return some value such as - Confirmed, Updated, Deleted etc. In addition, there
are many flags that need to be marked - such as "Not able to contact". IBM
should also return a time and date stamp showing exactly when the information
was updated, and an

unique operator/agent identification code to allow D&B to assess trends and
pinpoint the source of complaints from subject companies.

(iii) FREQUENCY OF DATA EXCHANGE

There are two (2) types of campaigns that D&B runs: long term and short term.
Long-term campaigns are 1-3 month period while short-term campaigns are 1-2 week
period. Every time a campaign is designed, IBM will have to accept the XML
files. On an average, 3-4 updates can be expected each month. On the output
side, text files will need to be sent to D&B on a daily basis, so that D&B's
customers have access to the latest information at every stage.

There will need to be a delist process established in case a customer asks to be
de-listed. However, such cases will be limited since D&B has a telephone
preference service that eliminates the passing of records to IBM that are de
listed.

Dialer and Applications integration will not be required since the two (2)
function independently.

(iv) OTHER APPLICATIONS - The interfaces will also have to have two (2) other
applications:

      -     Look up tables for Bank codesb.

      -     Dunstel - This is a tool to access the D&B 3270 mainframe through
            the emulation window. It allows to interrogate the database and
            query. There will be instances where IBM will need to access the
            database. For example, in File Build cases, a customer may inform
            the IBM caller that he/she is an existing client - may be under
            different parent name. In that case, IBM will need to access the
            database and verify. The mainframe is located at the Berkeley
            Heights facility.

      -     CD Locator - Same function as Dunstel but CD based application

      Other applications, which become apparent during process mapping and
      shadowing at the site of the existing third party vendor. Whether - and
      how - these are integrated into the IBM solution will be decided jointly
      between D&B and IBM during Transition.

(v) REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

To enable D&B to effectively manage campaigns and ensure a regular and
consistent flow of work to IBM, IBM will issue a weekly report to D&B
indicating:

            -     Number of files and volume of records received during the
                  week;

            -     Number of files and/or records completed during the week; and

            -     Number of files and/or records which are work-in-progress or
                  for which work hasn't yet commenced.

These reports will be reconciled with similar reports generated by D&B's Bulk
Load Tool to ensure a common view between the Parties.

(ii) IBM STEADY STATE SOLUTION AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH

      (a) SOLUTION OVERVIEW

IBM will consolidate similar functions and skills into common IBM delivery
centers. This will result in improved efficiencies through strong management and
team work between agents.

IBM examined D&B requirements from a variety of different perspectives (e.g.,
skills, ability to generate revenue, locations, language needs, processes) to
determine where best to locate D&B's Data Programming("DP") Services. Based on
these factors, including availability of skills, robustness of labor markets,
political ramifications, costs and ease of Transition, IBM identified IBM
centers located in Bangalore, India, and Budapest, Hungary as Service delivery
locations for the Data Programming Services. In addition to the IBM delivery
centers, IBM will hire 9 DP employees that will physically remain within the D&B
sites. The D&B sites identified are Bethlehem, PA (5), Mississauga, CA (1), and
High Wycombe, UK (3). Migrating the Data Programming Services to these locations
will allow IBM to meet D&B's requirements and achieve its guiding principles of
reducing costs while increasing customer satisfaction and improving revenue with
minimal disruption to D&B customers. Of the 9 employees hired, 3 in High
Wycombe, UK and 4 in Bethlehem, PA will

remain for the life of the Term. The balance of the hired employees, 1 in
Bethlehem, PA and 1 in Mississauga, CA will be offered one year positions within
IBM.

The following represents the delivery environment in which IBM will provide the
Data Programming Services following Transition (2Q05):

      (b) TRANSITION OVERVIEW

In order to implement IBM's solution, there will be a period of Transition
broken into two components: Managerial Transition and Operational Transition.
The Managerial Transition period will achieve the following activities;
establish the governance structure, harvest knowledge of D&B's existing
processes and skills, train the IBM trainers, and fit out IBM's centers with the
necessary D&B technology. During the Operational Transition, IBM will hire,
train and bring live the Data Programming support analysts required to support
D&B's requirements.

Following Transition, the Data Programming Services will be consolidated into
the IBM Bangalore and Budapest Delivery Centers. The Services will be performed
by experienced delivery resources with language skills matched to D&B's
requirements. The IBM Delivery Centers will perform continuous process and
quality improvement programs to increase efficiency and reduce costs.

B) IBM STAFF AND FACILITIES

(i)  SERVICE DELIVERY LOCATIONS

In order to meet D&B's business objectives and requirements, IBM will use
solution centers located in Bangalore, India and Budapest, Hungary to provide
the Data Programming Services. The business objective trade-offs factored into
the location choice include: language availability vs. labor cost and customer
satisfaction vs. labor cost.

(ii) STAFFING PLAN

IBM will migrate all DP services in North America, with the exception of Canada
Trade, to India. To drive out additional costs, IBM will migrate all functions
in Europe and Canada Trade to Hungary. Attachment A-7-2 (Transition Schedule)
contains a detailed staffing plan.

IBM is planning on the improvements mentioned in Attachment A-7-2 (Transition
Schedule) to reduce headcount in the DP function. Based on volume projections
from D&B , IBM will adjust staff accordingly to meet increased volumes. If the
projections are increased volumes on a regular basis that will require IBM to
increase its staff, IBM will do so accordingly. If the projected increased
volumes are temporary or cyclical, IBM will utilize overtime, nights and
weekends to accommodate the volume spikes. IBM also plans on cross training all
DP staff in scope. All staff will be able to support volume spikes to protect
D&B revenue and for better achievement of the Service Levels.

(ii) IBM STEADY STATE SOLUTION AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH

      (a) SOLUTION OVERVIEW

For the Transaction Processing Services, IBM will support the various data entry
activities as follows:

      -     collection, manual entry (i.e., keying) and processing of
            Transaction Processing Data including Registration, Legal,
            Financial, Detrimental, Press and Ad Hoc Data types, and

      -     error re-work;

as more particularly described in Exhibit A-3 (Transaction Processing Services
Statement of Work).

These and other activities described in Exhibit A-3 (Transaction Processing
Services Statement of Work) are currently provided from D&B centers located in
the United Kingdom (servicing the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland),
the Netherlands (servicing Belgium and the Netherlands), and Italy. IBM will

delivery centers. This will result in improved efficiencies through strong
management and team work between agents.

IBM examined D&B's requirements from a variety of different perspectives (e.g.,
skills, ability to generate revenue, locations, language needs and processes) to
determine where best to locate D&B's Transaction Processing Services. Based on
these factors, including availability of skills, robustness of labor markets,
political ramifications, costs and ease of Transition, IBM identified IBM
delivery centers located in Greenock, Scotland and Budapest, Hungary as Service
delivery locations for the Transaction Processing Services. Migrating the
Transaction Processing Services to these locations will enable IBM to meet D&B's
requirements and achieve its guiding principles of reducing costs while
increasing customer satisfaction and improving revenue with minimal disruption
to D&B's customers.

The following represents the delivery environment in which IBM will provide the
Transaction Processing Services following Transition (2Q05):

</TABLE>

IBM is planning on the improvements mentioned above to reduce headcount in the
Transaction Processing Service function as stated in the preceding table. Based
on volume projections from D&B, IBM will adjust staff accordingly to meet
increased volumes. If the projections are for increased volumes on a regular
basis that will require IBM to increase its staff, IBM will do so accordingly.
If the projected increased volumes are temporary or cyclical, IBM will utilize
overtime, nights and weekends to accommodate the volume spikes. IBM will also
cross train all in scope Transaction Processing staff. All staff will be able to
support volume spikes to protect D&B revenue and for better achievement of the
Service Levels.

IBM FINANCE PROCESSING -  OVERVIEW

A.  INTRODUCTION

IBM will provide a creative and comprehensive solution to address D&B's cost,
transformational and control objectives across the Finance Processing Cluster.
This section outlines IBM's response for the three Finance Processing areas
including:

     -    Global Accounts Payable ("AP") and Travel and Entertainment ("T&E"),

     -    US Collections and Cash Applications, and

     -    Europe Order to Cash ("OTC") Processing.

This Finance Processing solution addresses D&B's objective of transforming its
finance organization - with increased controls and reduced risk -- into a leader
of value generation and to reduce the overall cost of the organization as
measured as a percentage of overall D&B revenue. Specifically, this solution
will:

     -    Leverage IBM's economies of scale and relationships to increase
          savings,

     -    Reengineer end-to-end processes,

     -    Identify and drive savings beyond the finance organization, and

     -    Improve financial controls.

B. SUMMARY OF THE FINANCE PROCESSING SOLUTIONS

(i) ACCOUNTS PAYABLE / TRAVEL AND ENTERTAINMENT

IBM will consolidate D&B's AP and T&E processes into its existing delivery
centers in Tulsa, Krakow, and Bangalore. IBM will support continuity of Services
in these delivery centers, addressing D&B's multilingual European requirements
in IBM's Krakow Global Delivery Center, leveraging global resourcing labor
arbitrage opportunities through IBM's Bangalore Global Delivery Center, and
providing customer support and connectivity via scanning and imaging
capabilities in IBM's Tulsa center and Krakow centers. IBM's solution, which
leverages existing D&B systems, will streamline and reengineer existing D&B
processes to achieve early productivity improvements. In doing so, IBM will
leverage best practice processes from its experiences with other clients for
D&B.

IBM's solution anticipates a 17% reduction in headcount over five years, with
further 8% improvement expected in years 5 through 7. This will be accomplished
through a combination of consolidation and productivity savings through
application of best practices. IBM expects that there will be an overall
productivity improvement of 24%, with 91% of positions located in low cost
delivery centers over the Term.

(ii) US COLLECTIONS AND CASH APPLICATIONS

Using existing IBM delivery centers in Tulsa and Bangalore, IBM will provide a
comprehensive U.S. Collections and Cash Applications solution for D&B. In
addition, IBM will leverage the technology, domain expertise, and limited
consulting and management support from its strategic alliance partner, Equitant,
to drive significant improvement in D&B's US collections performance.

IBM will migrate all of D&B's customer and collections activities to lower cost
India. These accounts represent an estimated 50% of total revenue and require
skilled handling by IBM's collections staff.

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       2

<PAGE>

This solution addresses D&B's complex collections and cash application
processes, while still taking advantage of global resourcing labor arbitrage
opportunities.

Similar to IBM's AP and T&E solution, IBM's US Collections and Cash Application
solution anticipates a reduction in headcount. This will be accomplished through
a number of transformation initiatives performed by IBM, including new tools,
analytics, policy and process changes, and automated dispute resolution
capabilities. IBM expects that there will be an overall productivity improvement
of 27% by year five, with an overall improvement of 30% over the ten year
contract life. By year five, IBM anticipates that 85% of the positions will be
located in low cost delivery centers.

IBM will tightly integrate its solution with D&B's US OTC migration effort to
drive accelerated transformational benefits to D&B as it upgrades its OTC
technical platform to an Oracle 11i solution. Prior to D&B implementing its
planned Global OTC Oracle 11i platform, IBM's solution will provide D&B the
opportunity to leverage Equitant's Executive Dashboard(TM) to enable senior
management to monitor process performance against key business outcomes such as
working capital requirements, cost and customer satisfaction.

(iii) EUROPE ORDER TO CASH PROCESS

IBM will use existing IBM delivery centers with IBM staff in Krakow and
Bangalore to support D&B's European OTC processes. Consistent with the US
solution, IBM will leverage technology and process expertise from Equitant. By
leveraging IBM's multilingual delivery center in Krakow, supported by processing
in IBM's Bangalore delivery center, IBM's solution will provide robust OTC
processes focused on releasing working capital tied up in accounts receivable,
providing stringent process controls, reducing operating cost and implementing
best-in-class business processes and technologies. IBM's solution is designed to
achieve a smooth and efficient transition of Services while avoiding a negative
impact on customer satisfaction. IBM will leverage IBM's multilingual Krakow
facility to support non-English requirements, strategic customer groups, and
European Sales Order Processing (SOP or Order to Invoice) English and
non-English processes.

In addition, IBM's solution includes a focused consulting effort designed to
make certain IBM will be able to effectively support D&B in an outsourcing
environment by standardizing SOP related processes to minimize exception
processing and facilitate dispute resolution. Over time, IBM will migrate
additional work to the Bangalore facility after processes are standardized for
English speaking activities. IBM anticipates a reduction in headcount to service
the Europe OTC process. This will be accomplished through a combination of
consolidation, reengineering driven productivity savings, and technology driven
transformational enhancements. IBM expects that there will be an overall
productivity improvement of 15% by year five with a 21% productivity improvement
over the life of the contract. In addition, IBM anticipates that 97% of
positions will be migrated to low cost delivery centers during the Term.

C. IBM'S STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH EQUITANT

Using Equitant systems, IBM will provide D&B s with integrated best-in-class
design and execution of the end-to-end O2C(TM) cycle. Equitant's pervasive
culture of measurability, accountability and process-discipline is guided by a
management platform for Six Sigma. As a result, Equitant consistently delivers
major financial and operational benefits to its clients including significant
improvements in operating costs, profit leakage, working capital, customer
satisfaction, business flexibility, visibility and control. Equitant's
repeatable, scalable, results-oriented solution is backed by a willingness to
demonstrate measurable client outcomes. Equitant is well known to IBM and

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       3

<PAGE>

Equitant and IBM have a formal alliance agreement in place and have collaborated
on several prior and current delivery and proposal efforts.

D. DELIVERING VALUE TO D&B

IBM believes the combination of its in-place global delivery capability, global
F&A consulting capabilities acquired from PwC, partnership with Equitant to
provide sophisticated OTC solutions, and unmatched Oracle OTC credentials will
deliver greater cost reduction, accelerated speed to value, improved service
performance, and reduced risk to D&B. As mentioned earlier, IBM specifically
will:

     -    Leverage IBM's staff and existing delivery centers, economies of scale
          and relationships to increase savings, by configuring a solution that
          will address global AP, T&E and order to cash processes without
          Transition disruptions.

     -    Reengineer and transform end-to-end AP/T&E and OTC processes, using
          hardened processes and tools. With a future target of moving towards
          an automated technology platform such as Oracle 11i.

     -    Identify and drive savings beyond the finance organization,
          specifically with a relentless focus on releasing working capital and
          achieving productivity across the order to cash and T&E processes
          across the organization.

     -    Improve financial controls, using a robust approach to D&B processes
          within a well controlled environment tailored with D&B to meet the
          specific needs of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on D&B's behalf.

IBM's solution, including key Transition activities, is focused on achieving
these objectives while avoiding any negative impact to D&B's business, customers
and revenue.

E. STRUCTURE OF IBM SOLUTION

IBM's solution is structured in five major sections. The initial sections cover
the responses to the specific finance processing areas. The five sections
include:

     -    Global Accounts Payable (AP) and Travel and Entertainment (T&E)

     -    Global Order to Cash

IBM SOLUTION DOCUMENT: AP AND T&E

This Section describes the AP and T&E solution IBM will implement on a global
basis for D&B.

A. SOLUTION OVERVIEW

IBM will provide a comprehensive approach and business process solution for
migrating and performing D&B's global AP and T&E processes. To address D&B's
requirements for multi-lingual capabilities, IBM will deliver the Services
primarily from its Bangalore, India and Krakow, Poland centers. IBM will provide
regional customer support and imaging Services from its Tulsa, Oklahoma center.
IBM will separate the activities between Bangalore and Krakow, with Bangalore to
take advantage of lower cost processing capabilities and with Krakow to take
advantage of multi-language capabilities. US English speaking activities will be
handled by Bangalore; European requirements be handled from Krakow.

(i) ACCOUNTS PAYABLE - US & UK

          (a) CURRENT D&B ENVIRONMENT

IBM understands that D&B processes approximately 68,000 electronic US and AP
invoices and only 30,000 manual invoices per year. In the UK this equates to
approximately 10,000 manual invoices and 100 electronic invoices per annum. US
invoices do not use Purchase Orders (PO); whereas in the UK invoices are PO
based and require manual matching to the PO and receipt acknowledgement. US
invoices are mailed to the local GBS offices in Bethlehem with MarkView barcode
header sheets printed and attached to the invoice by the field. The Bethlehem
GBS Center has the mailroom scan the US documents into MarkView and then enters
the necessary data (e.g., tax codes, account distribution, etc.) into the Oracle
AP module to prepare the invoice for approval. The members in the field will
then code the invoice and route the invoice for approval. Once approved, the
invoices are routed back to the Bethlehem GBS Center to complete the remaining
activities.

The UK PO's are mailed by the field to the UK AP office in High Wycombe where
the PO's are matched to the invoices mailed directly from the vendors to the
High Wycombe AP staff. The UK AP staff scan the PO's and invoices into MarkView
to be electronically transmitted to Bethlehem. The GBS staff forward the
invoices via Markview to the field based staff for coding and approval. The
Payment Processing via BACS (payment through the banking system) and check runs
involves the US GBS staff proposing payment requests which are subsequently
approved by UK management before UK staff effect the payment. In the UK, General
Ledger staff are responsible for the UK bank reconciliation process.

IBM will be responsible for the Transition to IBM and performance of the major
functions that D&B's AP group currently performs, including the functions listed
below.

          (b) IBM STEADY STATE SOLUTION AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH

This section describes the solution IBM shall implement during Transition and
use to perform the Services during the Term.

IBM will use Oracle AP and MarkView systems to support delivery of AP Services
for the UK and US although the systems will be used slightly differently for the
UK where the process will continue to be PO based. US invoices will be received
and scanned in IBM's Tulsa center. UK invoices and purchase orders will be sent
to a PO Box in the UK and forwarded to IBM's processing center in Krakow, where
they will be received, manually matched, validated and then scanned into the
MarkView system. Krakow staff will then manage the MarkView queue to make
certain documents are automatically forwarded to D&B field based managers and
staff for coding and approval. Invoices without PO's (and not on the vendor
without PO's list) will be returned to vendors.

IBM staff in Krakow and Bangalore for the UK and US respectively will also
handle internal/external invoice feeds; process recurring invoices; perform
vendor masterfile maintenance; support D&B in performing ledger reconciliations;
handle requests from internal and external audits and process VAT and Sales &
Use Tax calculations and recovery. For US based accounts, IBM staff in Bangalore
will also provide procurement card administration, undertake 1099 preparation,
and I-Expense T&E processing. IBM will provide a helpdesk facility to handle
vendor and end user queries in Krakow for UK queries and in Tulsa for US
queries.

When invoices in MarkView have been coded and approved they will be
automatically updated into the Oracle AP system and will become available for
payment. IBM staff in Krakow and Bangalore will generate a payment proposal
which will be approved and paid by D&B.

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       7

<PAGE>

D&B will retain the payment processing functions including the distribution of
checks, special handling instructions, the issuance of manual checks, wire
transfers, and foreign currency payments, and will also retain responsibility
for interfaces with external banks and D&B treasury.

IBM will repatriate all hard copy source documentation back to the D&B general
accounting offices in country in line with local fiscal requirements.

The following process flows depicts at a high level the AP processes for (1) the
US and (2) the UK that IBM will be implementing during Transition. They
designate activities by location:

                                  [FLOW CHART]

MANAGE DOCUMENT RECEIPT

After Transition, UK invoices will be sent to and scanned at IBM's delivery
center in Krakow, Poland. The IBM staff in Krakow will be responsible for
sorting and scanning UK invoices, also utilizing the MarkView system.

PROCESS INVOICE

IBM staff in Krakow, for the UK, and Bangalore, for the US, will be responsible
for electronic document indexing, data validation and processing transactions
for approval. Invoices will be processed and scheduled for payment only when
they have been correctly coded and approved by D&B staff. Invoices presented by
vendors not in the vendor master file will not be paid until D&B's vendor setup
requirements have been met. Invoices will be verified for data entry accuracy
before being scheduled for payment.

Quick, special handling, and rush invoice payments will require authorization
from D&B. The authorization form and approvals will be received and validated at
IBM's global Delivery Centers in

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       9

<PAGE>

Bangalore for US transactions and Krakow for UK transactions. They will be
validated for consistency with D&B policies prior to payment. In the US if a
check is required for rush invoices, IBM will prepare and transmit a payment
file to D&B for payment. In the UK, D&B will inform IBM that a payment has been
made and will be requested to allocate the payment to the related invoice.

PAYMENT PROCESSING

IBM will provide D&B with the appropriate payment proposals based on the agreed
upon schedule. The other payment processing functions will be retained by D&B.

VAT CALCULATION

IBM will perform VAT processing from Krakow (for the UK) and Bangalore (for the
US) based on the policies and procedures that have been defined by D&B. IBM will
interact with the D&B finance (AP) professionals and the applicable D&B legal
entity controllers on a regular basis to receive guidance and direction related
to applying existing or new regulatory provisions.

AP MAINTENANCE

Maintenance of the vendor master file will be performed from Krakow for the UK
and Bangalore for the US. IBM will process additions and changes to the vendor
file (e.g., pay-to address, bank information, tax information) as authorized by
D&B. IBM will perform periodic reviews of the approved vendor master file list
and recommend combinations of similar records and deletions of unused records to
D&B's Purchasing Department. IBM will leverage its system of controls used for
other clients and their vendor master file maintenance processes. Some of these
controls include working with Finance/Procurement on who are the employees that
are authorized to make vendor changes and regularly schedule maintenance
schedules.

(ii) T&E - US

     (a) CURRENT D&B ENVIRONMENT

D&B processes approximately 15,000 Travel Expense Reimbursement reports monthly
across North America. Approximately 10-15% of the US expense reports contain
exceptions. The existing self-service system allows D&B staff to sign on to the
web address and enter his or her receipt charges and designate the appropriate
handling (e.g., foreign currency, VAT required). When the associate submits the
report, it moves to the Imaging System, which creates a unique barcode for each
T&E. The barcode and receipts are sent to GBS in Bethlehem for scanning. When
the barcode and receipts are scanned, an email goes to the associate's manager
with a link to the T&E. The manager can utilize an additional icon within the
notification to review the images of the receipts and approve or reject the T&E
by clicking a button. All T&E vouchers over $10,000 are reviewed for original
receipts, business purpose and exchange rate before being entered in Oracle AP.
If the T&E expenses are for foreign travel, a copy of the receipts is retained
with the processed voucher and the originals are forwarded to the VAT reclaim
team.

     (b) IBM STEADY STATE SOLUTION AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH

This section describes the solution IBM shall implement during Transition and
use to perform the Services during the Term.

In the US, IBM will use Oracle's iExpense module and MarkView systems to process
expense reimbursement requests. Receipt packs will be received and scanned in
the Tulsa center for US

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       10

<PAGE>

transactions using the existing MarkView imaging system. Exception auditing and
processing will occur in Bangalore; payment processing is a D&B retained
function. Expense reports that are prepared manually by employees will be sent
to the Tulsa Delivery along with receipts, where they will be keyed into
iExpense.

The following process flow depicts at a high level the T&E process that IBM will
implement during Transition for the US, with activities designated by location.

                         FUTURE STATE T&E PROCESS -- US

                                  [FLOW CHART]

MANAGE DOCUMENT RECEIPT

After Transition, US expense reports and supporting documentation will be sent
to Tulsa for scanning. Employees will input their travel and expense data into
MarkView and mail receipts to Tulsa.

PROCESS EXPENSE REPORTS

IBM will process approved expense reports for payment in the Bangalore Center.
Payment processing is assumed to be retained by D&B. IBM will leverage
capabilities in Oracle iExpense to streamline the audit process by targeting
items for review. IBM will audit expense reports in accordance with D&B policies
in IBM's Bangalore center.

T&E MAINTENANCE

IBM will process authorized additions and changes to the employee file (e.g.,
pay-to address, bank information, tax information) in Bangalore Non-authorized
changes received directly from the employees will be rejected. IBM will be
responsible for contacting employees to obtain the appropriate information. IBM
will perform periodic reviews of the approved employee payment system and
recommend master data clean up.

(iii) T&E - UK

     (a) CURRENT D&B ENVIRONMENT

D&B processes approximately 4,000 Travel Expense Reimbursement reports annually
across the UK and Ireland.

There is no self-service system in the UK. Expense reports are prepared manually
by employees, typically using an excel spreadsheet application, prior to being
sent to D&B managers for approval. Following approval, the expense vouchers are
then sent to High Wycombe together with receipt packages.

T&E staff perform a 100% validation check on the expense claims and post the
vouchers to the AP ledger, ready for payment. There is a separate vendor payment
run for expenses. Any issues with the T&E claims uncovered during the validation
stage are manually followed up with either with the member of staff or his/her
manager.

If the T&E expenses are for foreign travel, a copy of the receipts is retained
with the processed voucher and the originals are forwarded to the VAT reclaim
team.

     (b) IBM STEADY STATE SOLUTION AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH

This section describes the solution IBM shall implement during Transition and
use to perform the Services during the Term of the deal.

For the UK, IBM will continue to process travel and expense claims manually in a
very similar way to the current D&B process. Expense vouchers will be prepared
manually using an excel spreadsheet application and will be pre-approved by
managers before being sent, together with expense receipts, to a PO Box in the
UK. The expense claims will then be forwarded to Krakow, where IBM staff will
audit a sample of the expense claims before posting entries to the AP system.
Claims with issues associated with them will be scanned and e-mailed back to the
employee/employees manager for correction/approval.

IBM will develop payment proposals, which D&B will approve and pay. D&B will
retain responsibility for payment processing. IBM will repatriate all hard copy
source documentation back to the D&B general accounting offices in country in
line with local fiscal requirements.

The following process flow depicts at a high level the T&E process that IBM will
implement during Transition for the UK, with activities designated by location:

MANAGE DOCUMENT RECEIPT

After Transition, UK expense reports and supporting documentation will be sent
to a PO Box in the UK, where they will be forwarded onto Krakow for processing.

PROCESS EXPENSE REPORTS

IBM will process pre-approved expense reports for payment in the Krakow Center.
Payment processing is assumed to be retained by D&B. IBM will validate all the
expense vouchers are accurate and have been completed correctly and will perform
audits on a given sample of claims to check receipts against expense vouchers.
IBM will audit expense reports in accordance with D&B policies.

VAT CALCULATION

IBM will perform the processing of the VAT in Krakow. IBM will conduct knowledge
transfer (e.g., document task descriptions) during the Transition phase. IBM
will interact with the D&B tax team and the applicable D&B legal entity
controllers on a regular basis to receive guidance and direction related to
applying existing or new regulatory provisions.

pay-to address, bank information, tax information) in Krakow.

(iv) ITALY, BELGIUM AND NETHERLANDS AP AND T&E PROCESSES

     (a) CURRENT D&B ENVIRONMENT

D&B processes approximately 4,000 AP invoices and 1,000 Travel Expense reports
annually across Italy and approximately 5,000 AP invoices and 600 Travel Expense
Reports annually across Belgium and the Netherlands.

With no imaging system in place, the 6 FTEs in the AP departments manually
record the requisite data (e.g., account data, supplier number) on the invoice
or expense report. The Financial Controllers review the documents for
completeness and accuracy.

The AP/T&E team then enters the transactions into the financial ledgers. Italy
uses NaVision and Belgium and the Netherlands use Sun Systems.

Trial payment runs are printed for the Financial Controllers to approve. The
NaVision and Sun Systems transmit the approved payment files to the banks for
payment and the paper documents are filed by staff in the local offices.

     (b) IBM STEADY STATE SOLUTION AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH

This section describes the solution IBM proposes to implement during Transition
and use to perform services during the Term of the deal.

After Transition, D&B employees will continue to pre-approve invoices and T&E
claims by attaching purchase requests to supplier invoices and receipts to
expense reports and obtaining the written approval of D&B departmental managers.

D&B employees will then send the pre-approved invoices and expense reports to a
post office box in Milan or Rotterdam where they will be forwarded to the IBM
center in Krakow for further processing. IBM staff in Krakow will then undertake
approval verification and data entry.

Approved documents will be validated and entered into the NaVision and Sun
Systems. Where errors are detected, IBM staff will forward scanned images of the
relevant documents to D&B managers and staff for correction/approval.

IBM's Krakow Center will be responsible for all approval verification; data
entry; data validation; VAT checking and corporate card management activities
currently operated out of the European offices.

IBM's Krakow Center has multi-lingual capabilities covering the majority of
European languages (and all languages required to provide AP and T&E Services in
Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands). The documents will be approved and entered
into the NaVision and Sun Systems.

IBM will propose a payment schedule to D&B, which D&B will approve. D&B will
retain responsibility for the payment processing including the distribution of
checkes, wire transfers, foreign currency payments, and interface with external
banks and D&B treasury. Following payment IBM will manually allocate the payment
to the related vendor invoices.

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       14

<PAGE>

IBM will also process additions and changes to the vendor and employee files
(e.g., pay-to address, bank information, tax information) as authorized by D&B.
IBM will also perform periodic reviews of the approved AP and T&E systems and
recommend master data rationalization.

The following process flow depicts at a high level the AP and T&E process that
IBM will implement during Transition for the Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands,
with activities designated by location.

MANAGE DOCUMENT RECEIPT

After Transition, Italy and Benelux pre-approved vendor invoices and expense
reports and supporting documentation will be sent to PO Box's in Italy Brussels
and Rotterdam respectively, where they will be forwarded onto Krakow for
processing.

PROCESS TRANSACTIONS

Invoice and expense report audits will be performed in Krakow. Approved invoices
and expense reports (including those that have passed audits) will be processed
for payment in Krakow. Krakow responsibilities will include approval validation,
indexing and data entry into NaVision and Sun Systems. Payment Processing will
be retained by D&B.

MAINTENANCE

IBM will process additions and changes to the vendor and employee files (e.g.,
pay-to address, bank information, tax information) as authorized by D&B. IBM
will perform periodic reviews of the approved AP and T&E systems and recommend
master data rationalization.

B) IBM STAFF AND FACILITIES

(i) SERVICE DELIVERY LOCATIONS.

IBM will use the following delivery centers to provide the Services beginning on
the Service Commencement Date:

     -    IBM's Tulsa, Oklahoma center to provide regional customer support and
          imaging Services;

     -    IBM's Krakow center to provide some English and all non-English
          speaking work; and

     -    IBM's Bangalore center to provide English-based work.

IBM will perform the majority of work related to AP and T&E Services from
Bangalore and Krakow using experienced delivery resources with language skills
matched to D&B's requirements. The IBM delivery centers will perform continuous
process and quality improvement utilizing leading Six Sigma methodologies and
programs.

(ii) STAFFING PLAN

Following Transition, IBM will handle the US AP and T&E processes out of its
Bangalore, India and Tulsa, Oklahoma centers, and the European AP and T&E
processing out of its Krakow, Poland center. The reduction of staff from the
current state levels to the steady state over seven years reflects a reduction
in resources that IBM expects to achieve from process improvements realized over
time:

IBM SOLUTION DOCUMENT: GLOBAL ORDER-TO-CASH

A. SOLUTION OVERVIEW - GLOBAL ORDER-TO-CASH

(i) IBM'S OVERALL OTC APPROACH

IBM's solution for Global OTC is centered around a comprehensive delivery out of
existing F&A centers in Krakow, Poland; and Bangalore, India. Although this
approach utilizes the tools, techniques and domain experience that Equitant has
successfully launched in this market space, this is fundamentally an IBM owned
and delivered solution. That is to say, IBM will provide D&B's OTC Services from
IBM's global delivery centers that currently provide similar type of services to
IBM's existing F&A clients around the globe. These centers operate in the very
stringent control environment that is part of the IBM hallmark. In addition, the
staffing for the provision of Services will be pre-dominantly IBM employees, who
will serve as the prime relationship for Service Levels and quality will be
between D&B and IBM. The centers from which the Services will be provided draw
upon the heritage PwC Consulting operating environment that was the genesis of
much of IBM's current F&A transformational outsourcing business - supplemented
by a world-wide pre-eminent financial processes consulting business that houses
over 6,000 staff globally. The operating environment and many of the leadership
and staffing that were sourced from that heritage were established with the
strongest focus on internal controls and risk-aversion. The IBM solution for
D&B's OTC processes, in IBM's opinion, will be further maximized by truly
leveraging and capitalizing on Equitant's methods, technologies and global
reporting capabilities. For that reason, much of what follows in this section
around Equitant and its proprietary approach is appropriately very focused on
their previous experiences - intended to reassure D&B of the benefits of this
teaming arrangement between IBM and Equitant. It is also pertinent to note that
IBM and Equitant did have a formal alliance agreement, in place before this
opportunity with D&B was known about and have been working together successfully
and seamlessly on other client engagements with very positive results.

(ii) BACKGROUND ON EQUITANT

Equitant is exclusively focused on managing and optimizing the Order-to-Cash
(O2C(TM)) cycle for Global 1000 companies for increased profitability. As a

(v) ADDITIONAL VALUE ELEMENTS OF IBM SOLUTION

     (a) VALUE ELEMENTS

IBM, together with Equitant's oversight and guidance, will take responsibility
for D&B's O2C(TM) operations on a long-term basis to deliver guaranteed,
sustainable, and measurable business outcomes. Partnering with D&B, IBM will
leverage outsourcing as a long-term strategy to create competitive advantage
results in the redirection of D&B's focus towards the core competencies that
drive long-term shareholder value. Specifically, IBM will deliver:

SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS IN WORKING CAPITAL - highly structured dispute-handling
procedures and "surgical" workflow techniques will result in the identification
of pockets of working capital that

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       23

<PAGE>

are trapped in defects in the overall process and ultimately manifest themselves
in the form of disputes with the customer. The identification and speedy
resolution of these issues and in conjunction with re-engineering as a result of
root cause analysis will release trapped working capital. This will be enabled
by leveraging the unique technology platform and the deep domain expertise of
IBM's partner, Equitant.

REDUCED OPERATING COSTS - process redesign drives standardized, automated
transaction execution yielding efficiency gains by reducing errors and re-work
across O2C(TM), sales and supply chain processes. Additionally, a decrease in
avoidable charge backs and deductions significantly enhances operating income
(typically 0.4 - 0.9% of revenue) by reducing profit leakage.

Dramatic increases in customer satisfaction - systemic issues that drive late
payments and impact the customer are identified and remedied at the source,
decreasing the time to surface and resolve customer issues by as much as 70% and
eradicating the reoccurrence of issues, with no change in policy or
aggressiveness.

ENHANCED MANAGEMENT VISIBILITY AND CONTROL - online access for key mangers to a
reporting tool that contains key performance indicators and real time visibility
to issues and performance, will connect the thought leadership of D&B to its
customer base and how it is being administered. Capturing information offered by
the customer and tracking the internal response of the organization will offer
an opportunity to ensure that the customer's expectations are being realized and
that the organization is fully aligned to achieving that goal.

FACILITATE COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS (E.G. SARBANES-OXLEY) -
Processes are embedded into the tool suite and help to ensure that defined
policies and procedures are being adhered to by the organization. Due to the
fact that most hand-off's are electronic and the reporting suite is dynamic, it
is possible to introduce early warning alerts for process and policy failure. As
the working practices are embedded into the technology and the technology
location independent corporate imperatives can be deployed globally and
uniformly ensuring harmonization across geographical locations.

INCREASED BUSINESS-FLEXIBILITY - offers rapid launch of new markets, new
distribution channels (e.g. B2B web-stores); new infrastructure requirements
resulting from spin-off, divestitures or M&A activities; a flexible, scalable
model to support continued business growth worldwide with reliability; and the
opportunity to convert fixed costs to variable spend to adapt to changing
business environments.

Additionally, IBM working closely with Equitant assumes execution risks
associated with the program by contracting to D&B's business-outcomes as they
directly impact the P/L and balance sheet.

     (b) QUALITY MANAGEMENT & REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

In the last two years, there has been an increased awareness and need to ensure
adequacy of internal controls and visibility. In response to Enron and other
corporate failures, the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002 emerged in the United
States to define stringent standards for internal controls and specific
responsibilities for the CFO and CEO, who must attest to the accuracy of their
financial reports. As a U.S. company, D&B must ensure that its control
environment satisfies the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley.

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       24

<PAGE>

In particular, the following areas are typical challenges in today's AR process
environment. IBM will assess these needs to determine applicability D&B:

     -    Inadequacies exist in overall internal control design

     -    Sufficient levels of control consciousness within the organization are
          not met

     -    Anti-fraud programs and controls are not introduced

     -    Appropriate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives
          is not fully implemented - e.g., Segregating cash receipts, cash
          application, and collection activities

     -    Appropriate reviews and approvals of transactions, accounting entries,
          or systems output do not exist

     -    Provisions for the safeguarding of assets are inadequate

     -    An information system fails to provide complete and accurate output
          that is consistent with financial reporting objectives and current
          needs

With end-to-end process documentation, and complete visibility via the Equitant
Executive Dashboard(TM), IBM's solution will address needs within quality
management and supplements compliance of regulatory requirements. These
regulatory requirements magnify the need for a complete solution that provides
visibility of the whole D&B Accounts Receivable portfolio. As such, IBM's
proposal is to incorporate both US and European receivables portfolios into
Equitant's Executive Dashboard(TM).

As discussed in the executive overview to this section, the delivery of the
in-scope Services out of IBM owned and operated service centers provides the
reassurance of a strong focus on the controls and compliance that is the
hallmark of IBM. Programs such as SAS70 and internal/external audits are all
examples of how critical a well-controlled environment is to IBM.

          (c) CUSTOMIZATIONS AND CONSULTING

IBM/Equitant will implement its proprietary technology tools as described
previously, including AR Collect(TM), Collaborative Dispute Resolution(TM), and
Executive Dashboard(TM). Where appropriate, IBM will customize the applications
to support unique business requirements for D&B in order to drive the results
desired. Additionally, IBM and Equitant continue to invest in improvements in
technology and process capabilities. These investments are generally included in
IBM's proposal and will be passed on to D&B in the form of new releases and
continuous improvement efforts.

Utilizing IBM's Business Consulting Services (BCS) consultants, IBM's solution
includes a process transformation project in Europe that will deliver documented
rules and procedures for key quality and control requirements, a delivery medium
for training and continued refreshment and access by all interested parties. IBM
believes this to be a practical, expeditious and economic solution to a process
area that contains numerous improvement opportunities. These process and
organizational changes will benefit both IBM and D&B..

          (d) SYNERGIES WITH OTHER SERVICE CLUSTERS IN THE AGREEMENT

The benefits to D&B related to the integration of this solution with the other
D&B cluster solutions include:

     -    IBM's cross-cluster Global Project Executive and teams are dedicated
          and have full accountability to D&B, on a global basis, with full
          authority to commit IBM. This will yield high responsiveness to D&B.

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       25

<PAGE>

     -    A delivery-led organization that defined and developed the proposed
          solution and will be fully accountable for results and risk
          mitigation.

     -    An organization designed to be focused on D&B and flexible to meet the
          addition of further services and geographies.

B) IBM STAFF AND FACILITIES

Staffing and facilities for the OTC Services are described in separate US and
Europe OTC sections below.

C) TOOLS, PROCESSES, AND METHODOLOGIES

This Section Describes the tools, processes, and methodologies IBM will use to
perform the Services.

(i) PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES

IBM/Equitant's technology architecture is uniquely suited to accelerate value
delivery through the Order-to-Cash(TM) (O2C(TM)) process. Equitant proprietary
systems and software applications are designed to help deliver key business
outcomes to clients, such as increased cash flow and stronger customer
relationships.

Used by the largest software and technology companies in the world, applications
and systems such as AR Collect(TM), OpenPay(TM), and others represent
best-in-class solutions to improve O2C(TM) workflow, communications, and data
integration. As a result, IBM and Equitant clients can more effectively resolve
their customers' billing disputes, accelerate payment and provide critical
intelligence on customers and financial performance.

Key Features of Equitant's Proprietary Technology Include:

     -    SEAMLESS INTEGRATION: Equitant's entire solution and O2C(TM) data will
          operate seamlessly inside the D&B organization, from the back office
          and beyond. Equitant technology will interface with D&B's ERP packages
          and in-house financial applications, enabling a greater return on
          these investments as well.

     -    CLIENT-SPECIFIC MODULES: Equitant and IBM will work closely with D&B
          to tailor applications to suit specific D&B business needs and
          requirements. For example, using advanced communications tools and
          extranet technology, Equitant will download and store D&B's own AR
          (Accounts Receivable) data on a daily basis to improve AR operations.

     -    ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS: D&B users will be able to more easily discern
          cause and effect in customer issues at multiple levels (account,
          geography, sales executive, line of business, etc.) by deploying
          Equitant's specialized electronic dispute resolution technology.

     -    WEB-BASED REPORTING TOOLS: Structured, web-enabled reporting tailored
          to D&B's requirements will provide valuable information and
          operational analysis of the O2C(TM) process for improving
          organizational and process effectiveness.

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       26

<PAGE>

(ii) EQUITANT'S ORDER-TO-CASH TECHNOLOGIES:

Based on IBM's analysis and findings in due diligence, IBM has identified the
following technologies that it will implement as part of its D&B solution:

          (a) AR COLLECT(TM)

AR Collect(TM) is Equitant's flagship, proprietary collections and dispute
management application, offering a multi-client, multi-currency, multi-user and
multi-lingual Order-to-Cash management solution. Microsoft has adopted AR
Collect(TM) as its global standard to enable more effective collection and
dispute management practices.

          (b) COLLABORATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION(TM) (CDR(TM))

CDR(TM) is Equitant's web-based solution that enables knowledge sharing of
dispute management issues across the customer and financial supply chain in
order to accelerate resolution and payment. CDR(TM) was developed to speed up
the resolution of disputes by harnessing the resource of the client stakeholder
through a collaborative process. This collaborative process provides them with
the most pertinent information and leads them through a series of simple steps
on a web site to quickly resolve the dispute.

         (c) EXECUTIVE DASHBOARD(TM)

The Executive Dashboard(TM) is a leading-edge, online reporting tool that
enables senior management and O2C(TM) stakeholders to quickly and easily monitor
the performance of the AR process against key business outcomes such as working
capital requirements, cost and customer satisfaction.

The Executive Dashboard(TM) features real-time, web-based, secure reporting. In
addition to providing direct linkage between D&B's business outcomes and
operational requirement (and Management-level business intelligence), the
Executive Dashboard(TM) can be used to continuously monitor Service Levels.

          (d) ECAS

ECAS is part of the AR Collect(TM) family of tools designed to bring better
visibility and effectiveness to the cash application process. Using workflow
techniques it captures exceptions from the automated application process and
presents them to the Cash applicator according to a predefined strategy. The
cash applicator is able to tag short paid transactions with the appropriate
dispute code supplied by the customer on their remittance here it is available
or route them to the appropriate Cash collector so that customer contact can be
made. Unapplied transactions are captured in a similar manner and together with
the information stored in AR Collect(TM) (parent identities etc) can be used to
facilitate reconciliation. This technology will be deployed as part of IBM's US
solution.

          (e) AMCAT

Amcat is a leading third party predicative dialer system that will be integrated
into AR Collect(TM) to deliver the functionality appropriate in the management
of high volume low value customer base.

          (f) OPENPAY(TM) (TO BE EVALUATED)

In addition to the above technologies, IBM also proposes that the Equitant tool
of OpenPay(TM) be analyzed for the D&B solution. IBM feels that it is a solution

D&B and would further leverage your technology model. OpenPay is not included in
IBM's existing solution and is not required for IBM to provide any of the
Services, to meet the Service Levels, or to achieve any of the benefits
described in this solution document.

OpenPay(TM) web enables the order management process, allowing companies to
accept and process online sales transactions. OpenPay(TM) enables the full range
of O2C(TM) processes to be completed online, such as order entry, shopping card
capability, credit assessment, billing and collections, multiple payment
methods, credit card authorization, fraud detection, cash application, bank
management / payment settlement, and financial performance reporting.

(iii) INTERACTION WITH D&B SYSTEMS.

The proposed Equitant toolset is self-contained and will require minimal IT
support from D&B. The primary D&B infrastructure will remain in place, and the
Equitant toolset will sit on-top, hosted at an IBM facility. As a result, the
IBM solution will wrap-around the existing infrastructure to create an
integrated OTC technical platform.

IBM/Equitant shall formulate the necessary system interfaces, working with D&B
for effective implementation. To populate the AR Collect(TM) database, Equitant
will need a file extracts from the accounts receivable systems on a nightly
basis. The file typically represents open items as of close of business for that
day. Additional data files may be needed from D&B Order Entry systems to meet
special reporting requirements (e.g., Revenue recognition by product, etc.).
Assuming that systems support for the various Order-to-Cash systems is
outsourced, IBM/Equitant will build the required file extracts.

D) OTC INFRASTRUCTURE

This section, together with Attachment A-6-5 (Technology Solution), describes
the infrastructure IBM will use to perform the OTC Services.

The AR Collect(TM) system runs on a client-server platform. AR Collect(TM) has
been designed and built on Microsoft Back Office utilizing SQL Server, Windows
2000, Internet Information Services (IIS), Exchange and Office. It also uses
Crystal Reports and Acrobat Reader.

Below is a summary of how AR Collect(TM) interfaces with the other components
within the overall architecture. AR Collect(TM) Visual Basic User Interface AR
Collect(TM) uses Visual Basic version 6.0 as its development platform for the
user interface. The user connects to the database via a login screen, using
either a SQL login or NT trusted connection. The connection link is done through
ODBC. There is no requirement to install SQL Server client utilities on the
user's PC.

     -    AR COLLECT(TM) AND MICROSOFT SQL SERVER The AR Collect(TM) data is
          housed within a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 environment. AR Collect(TM)
          utilizes native SQL Server 2000 functionality, including Backup, Data
          Transformation Services, SQL Server Agent and Security. The AR
          Collect(TM) Database can support SQL Server Sort Orders of 42 and 52.

     -    AR COLLECT(TM) AND EXCHANGE SERVER AR Collect(TM) creates automated
          responses to customers through e-mail and fax. A Poller application
          polls the database and connects to the Exchange server to send
          communications to customers.

     -    CRYSTAL REPORTS AND ACROBAT READER The AR Collect(TM) application
          creates reports using Crystal Reports. A copy of each report is stored
          on a network folder accessible to AR

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       28

<PAGE>

          Collect(TM) users. Upon compilation these reports are created in
          Acrobat Reader friendly format so that they can be distributed freely.

(i) THE AR COLLECT(TM) WEB APPLICATIONS BUSINESS OBJECT FRAMEWORK

This model is best explained by examining its individual logical layers:
Infrastructure Objects Infrastructure Objects provide access to the resources
that an application will use. In Equitant's case this requires actively managing
one resource - the connection to the AR Collect(TM) database.

One way of ensuring the presentation layer code (Equitant ASP pages) is not
allowed to circumvent the AR Collect(TM) business rules is to never allow the
ASP code direct access to any of the infrastructure objects. IBM will do this by
creating an object that is only accessible to objects in the model. In other
words the object is private to the model as a whole and the ASP code will not be
able to directly access or call methods on it.

(ii) SERVICE OBJECTS

Service objects provide access to application services. An example of an AR
Collect(TM) service object would be the customer object of the A/R customer DLL.
This object can carry out operations like adding, deleting or loading a customer
record. It is through these service objects that the presentation layer code can
get to the business rules.

A further element to Equitant's model is the AR Collect(TM) wrapper object. This
provides an interface to all the objects in the existing AR Collect(TM) object
model.

In addition, IBM will deploy a leading edge predictive dialing solution (i.e.,
AmCat) to address this area. By utilizing the open architecture offered by these
applications, IBM will provide a tight integration with AR Collect(tm). AR
Collect(TM) can provide the predictive dialer software with the contact details,
and a TAPI call can be made to AR Collect(TM) to open the customer account with
all associated transactions upon event triggers such as call answer directly
from the dialer software suite. Since ARCollect(TM) and these applications both
run on top of an open database architecture, data can be transferred seamlessly
between applications e.g., an activity can be automatically created in
ARCollect(TM) for each successful call made.

(iii) DATA OBJECTS

Data objects define a single instance of some entity in the model. This almost
always refers to a row in the database. In the AR Collect(TM) object model, for
example, there is an object to describe a single activity or customer. The
advantage of this approach is that it allows for the addition of a great degree
of detail to the data objects, while allowing for easy manipulation of the
objects in the presentation layer (on ASP pages).

E) OTC REPORTS

This Section, together with the reports described in Exhibit F-3 (Reports) and
elsewhere in the Agreement, describes the OTC reports IBM will provide D&B:

IBM's proposal is to provide all invoice-to-cash reports electronically via
Equitant's Executive Dashboard(TM). All other reports i.e. order to invoice,
will be provided through the most appropriate means (to be confirmed during
Transition). The scope of reports available will be global, with the

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       29

<PAGE>

ability to roll up numbers by any business attribute as long as the information
is available in the data provided to IBM.

As business needs change, IBM will work with D&B to customize reporting and/or
distribution. The Executive Dashboard(TM) provides D&B with an opportunity to
expand the current reporting capabilities, and enables analysis of various
attributes via the web. For example, a drill-down of aging and DSO information
could be performed to determine relative performance levels and gain further
insights.

The following list is indicative of the standard information available:

     -    Aging - percent and/or amounts current, past due, 1-30, 31-60, etc.

     -    Days Sales Outstanding - current and past due DSO

     -    Process Discrepancies - time to identify disputes, time to resolve
          disputes, reasons for disputes, how disputes were resolved (e.g.,
          paid, written off, etc.)

     -    Cash Application - amount of unapplied cash, time to apply cash,
          percentage of manual cash application, percentage of payments received
          directly by bank vs. office

     -    Collections - amount of cash collected during the period, cash
          forecasts for future periods

     -    Policies or Processes - compliance with corporate policies (e.g.,
          adequacy of allowance account vs. policy guidelines).

     -    Number of orders processed

     -    Non-compliant orders

     -    Error rates for sales orders

     IBM SOLUTION DOCUMENT: FINANCE PROCESSING -
     US COLLECTIONS AND CASH APPLICATIONS

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       31

<PAGE>

A) SOLUTION OVERVIEW

Utilizing its significant and leading role as a premier provider of F&A
outsourcing, IBM is pleased to offer D&B its business process solution for
outsourcing D&B's US Collections and Cash Apps processes. IBM and Equitant,
utilizing extensive presence and experience with client order-to-cash processes,
have aligned to provide D&B with a proven solution based on core competencies
gained from similar relationships with numerous clients.

(i) CURRENT D&B ENVIRONMENT

Assessing the order-to-cash (OTC) processes that are in scope for the US, there
are six main areas of focus : Billing, Accounts Receivable, Locations,
Processes, Management Reporting, and Working Capital Performance. Based on these
areas and IBM's work in due diligence, IBM's understanding of the current Order
to Cash landscape at D&B in US can be described as follows:

     -    BILLING: There are three key billing systems B.O.L.T, O.A.S.I.S and
          B.R.S. each representing a product and business segment. Customers are
          billed separately from each of the systems depending on the product or
          service they are purchasing and can potentially be billed from all
          three systems. As a consequence a number of issues are experienced in
          the down stream systems and processes. These include maintenance of
          customer master files, monitoring the overall risk exposure for each
          customer across the three systems, enforcement of order management
          controls such as "hold" and stop, difficulties in matching receipts
          against receivables (prevalent when a customer sends a payment
          covering a range of invoices across the billing systems) and the
          reconciliation to the G/L. It is noted that much time is expended by
          the AR department in re-working invoices into a manner demanded by the
          customer due to either the inflexibility of the primary billing system
          or unreasonable data requests from the customer. The deployment of
          Oracle 11i AR module in the Spring of 2005 and will resolve a number
          of these issues.

     -    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: Interfaces are in place with the billing systems
          and header level data is exchanged with AR Millennium, the US Sales
          ledger.

     -    PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS: The portfolio is segmented into two key
          classifications, Global/Major customers or core and non-core. The
          Global/Major classification represents some 5% of total customers but
          55% of revenue generated. As a consequence the portfolio has an
          unusually high proportion of low value transactions. Transactions less
          than $500 represent 65% of all past due transactions but only 6% of
          the outstanding $ receivables. DSO currently averages approx 69 days.

     -    CASH APPLICATION: Data from the banking system is matched to data from
          AR/M. Due to the fact that there is more than one billing engine this
          must be preprocessed where the micro-number is located in the correct
          system and the cash can be applied to the correct customer and
          transactions. This process is highly effective with an 85% match rate.
          The remaining cash (Payments made over more than one billing system,
          Keying errors etc) are treated as exceptions. This requires the visual
          inspection of the manual checks and remittances. These are provided
          daily in hard copy by the bank. Part-paid transactions must be manual
          tagged with a dispute code and a text field completed. This serves as
          the prompt mechanism for the dispute management process. At present
          there is no workflow technologies used to facilitate this process.

          Cancellations (credit notes) are generated by the department after
          appropriate authorization directly into the original billing system;
          codes are used to denote reasons. The department is

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       32

<PAGE>

          also responsible for the manual execution of credit card transactions
          and monitoring subsequent credit card charge backs. This process is
          highly manual and represents the most time demanding task after the
          tracing and manual application of cash.

     -    CASH COLLECTION: The cash collection team is divided into two groups.
          One that administers the Global/Major customer accounts and the rest
          of the portfolio by another. This structure is to cater for the higher
          relationship requirements of the Global accounts required by both the
          D&B Account management team and the customer. Collection activity for
          any given account is according to risk profile which has been mapped
          out in the form of a collection matrix. Global accounts are driven
          from basic prompt or event codes contained in AR/M which indicate what
          action needs to take place at any given time. In addition to this a
          predictive dialer system is used for low value accounts. The data for
          this application is extracted from AR/M after the required filtering
          has taken place. This is then imported by the dialer application. The
          absence of line item detail in AR/M is a handicap that requires the
          operative to review information in the appropriate billing system.
          Efficiency is hampered by customer demands to fulfill ad-hoc demands
          for information supporting billing, re-working invoices and satisfying
          customer requirements to use there procurement portals. It is believed
          that additional capability in EDI, XML, EBPP and customer portals is
          required to alleviate some of these issues.

     -    DISPUTE MANAGEMENT: The collection team is supported by a separately
          managed team who investigate deductions, liaise with internal
          stakeholders and execute routine administration work.

     -    LOCATIONS: Currently all invoice to cash (I2C) is conducted from D&B's
          facility in Bethlehem, PA.

     -    PROCESSES: All processes lack support of integrated tools and are
          manual in nature. This makes them difficult to monitor. Due to the
          absence of such tools information flow is labor intensive and hampers
          the ability to escalate issues and flow information throughout the
          organization. All these initiatives must be launched and tracked
          manually. The number of entry points for orders to enter the three
          billing systems means that there are inconsistencies and various
          standards in order input and quality.

     -    MANAGEMENT REPORTING: Management and operational reporting is driven
          by the codes and text values entered into the AR system. Reports are
          manually created in static format and rely on a distribution system.
          While this gives some degree of visibility it lacks the type of
          granularity and history necessary to monitor the processes and defects
          within the overall order to cash system. It is therefore of limited
          value in root cause analysis, SOX compliance and any consequential
          quality programs such as Six Sigma. End of month close procedures
          usually take seven days starting two days prior to fiscal month end.

     -    WORKING CAPITAL PERFORMANCE: In the United States, D&B had an average
          Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) of 69 days last year, with a best
          possible DSO of 47.

     A project of this type has many challenges and unique requirements. Based
     on these challenges and IBM's findings in due diligence, IBM has developed
     a solution to address these challenges and unique requirements.
     Specifically, IBM will act as an integrator that understands how to:

          -    Consider the portfolio segments and be able to management them
               separately. Specifically the management and approach to the
               Global/Major Accounts must recognise their strategic importance.

(ii) IBM SOLUTION AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH

The assumption is made that Transition activity will commence at the point of
the deployment and commissioning of Oracle 11i AR. Equitant has experience in
building interfaces with Oracle 11i and do not anticipate any issues to arise
that adversely affect the delivery of Services.

The Order-to-Cash process in the US has a number of legacy systems that will
serve as the building blocks for an interim solution. Within a two to four year
period, IBM has assumed that D&B US will operate Oracle 11i after successful
implementation and migration in the United States.

IBM will leverage Equitant purpose built tools and best practice capabilities.
This will release immediate value for D&B in Northern America and can be
deployed within 60 days.

          (a) GLOBAL DELIVERY CENTER

Together with Equitant, IBM has successfully established low cost delivery
centers in a number of countries around the globe. After visiting IBM's
Bangalore site and based upon direct guidance from D&B, IBM proposes one
delivery location for the Order-to-cash process in the US: Bangalore India.

IBM's combined delivery approach provides D&B with immediate cost savings by
leveraging labor arbitrage and productivity improvements via quick wins from its
extensive experience and process redesign capabilities in the Order-to-Cash
space. IBM will utilize its Bangalore facility also to provide service and
support to D&B's global major accounts.

          (b) O2C PROCESS DESCRIPTION - US

This section describes the process IBM will follow when performing OTC Services
in the US. All process steps will be performed by IBM except where expressly
stated otherwise (e.g., Order Entry in process step #1).

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       35

<PAGE>

     ORDER ENTRY - D&B RETAINED ACTIVITY:

     1.   Customer orders will be processed using the current order management
          systems until the billing systems are consolidated into one billing
          engine.

     PREPARE AND PRIORITIZE WORK:

          A data extraction of all open transactions will be taken nightly from
          Oracle AR. IBM will expand the data specification for AR Collect(TM)
          to include all relevant data elements identified during Transition.
          This will include line item detail from the three order management
          systems to facilitate the collection and deduction management
          processes. IBM will expand the data specification for AR Collect(TM)
          to include all relevant data elements identified during Transition.
          Specifically IBM will utilize the following D&B specific data
          elements:-

                    a.   DUNS # - Unique number applied to all businesses that
                         will enable identification of corporate hierarchies.

                    b.   Financial Stress Score - Measures the probability of a
                         customer going bankrupt within the next 12 months.

                    c.   Commercial Credit Score - Measure of the customer's
                         propensity to pay to terms.

          By utilizing the Duns number and the tools capability to establish
          parent/child relationships, the D&B organization will be in a position
          to monitor its risk exposure to any particular customer, and to
          greatly add value in the management of the "Global" or core customer
          accounts.

     2.   Using pre-agreed treatment schedules, customer accounts and their
          associated transactions can be routed through the workflow engines
          most appropriate to the customer segment. In this manner the resources
          can be applied effectively. The portfolio can be segmented into Global
          and non-core customers and still further by other classifications such
          as risk, commercial credit score and trading experience. Segments that
          require higher skill sets and a more intense relationship experience
          can be distinguished from those that will be processed via automatic
          email demand programs. The existing corporate "collection matrix" can
          be programmed into the tool to ensure that it is honored and monitored
          as to its effectiveness.

     PREDICTIVE DIALER

     3.   As stated earlier in this document there are a large number of
          Non-core customers with a high volume of low value transactions. IBM
          will deploy a leading edge predictive dialing solution (AmCat) to
          address this area. By utilizing the open architecture offered by these
          applications, IBM will provide a tight integration with AR
          Collect(TM). AR Collect(TM) will provide the predictive dialer
          software with the contact details, and call scheduling information. A
          TAPI interface will be constructed into an IBM or Equitant telephone
          switch so the customer dialing will be seamless and automatic. Once a
          successful connection has been made AR Collect(TM) will open the
          customer account with all associated transactions. Since AR
          Collect(TM) and these applications both run on top of an open database
          architecture, data can be

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       36

<PAGE>

          transferred seamlessly between applications e.g., an activity can be
          automatically created in AR Collect(TM) for each successful call made.
          This will facilitate centralized reporting.

          By utilizing the global nature of IBM's solution (there will be one
          instance of AR Collect(TM) - globally deployed) this technology will
          be made available to IBM's center in Krakow and personnel required to
          maintain the current strategy on the US accounts. IBM will duplicate
          the existing credit card processing methodology used by D&B today.
          During Transition, a functional specification will be drafted and
          agreed that will facilitate point of presence credit card processing
          for the cash collection team. This facility will be for the payment of
          transactions post sale i.e., where they have been posted to the AR.
          The specification will include the automated management of charge
          backs.

     CASH APPLICATION:

     4.   All checks and remittances received from the bank will be scanned and
          stored with an appropriate index by IBM. This will achieve two
          purposes: (1) facilitate the relocation of this work to lower cost
          centers, (2) Create efficiencies in the dispute management and manual
          allocation processes by providing on-line visibility of documents to
          relevant personnel.

     5.   Using AR Collect(TM) it will be possible to isolate the transactions
          that did not successfully pass through the automated cash application
          process. Routing the Unapplied (UA) Dummy Account (no customer found)
          and part-paid transactions from the AR data exchange into a dedicated
          workflow visible to the cash application team would facilitate better
          prioritization and visibility to the exceptions of the automated
          process. Once identified the team will be in a position to research
          the scanned customer remittances, apply the cash where appropriate
          onto the AR or add a status code to the transaction(s) directly into
          AR Collect(TM) so it can be routed appropriately. This will ensure
          that structure exists in exception management and that focus and
          emphasis is placed according to a strategy defined by management.

     CONTACT CUSTOMERS:

     6.   The customer is contacted and asked to pay all overdue transactions.
          In some instances (especially for transactions with high dollar
          values) an approach 15 days prior to the due date is made to identify
          any problems in advance. The frequency of customer contacts is
          customized by customer group and performance attributes to achieve the
          desired results as contractually committed (e.g., percentage of past
          dues).

     7.   If the customer states that it intends to discharge payment for
          certain transactions, an appropriate status code is tagged to the
          transactions in question together with a follow up date and a payment
          date. These commitments are monitored daily and the customer is
          contacted again if its commitment is not followed through.

     RESEARCH ISSUES:

     8.   If the customer states that it has an issue regarding one or more
          transactions, the appropriate dispute code is tagged to the
          transaction and the questions pertinent to that issue type asked are
          recorded. Where a copy invoice has been requested, the IBM team will
          implement and use a solution for invoice distribution that will have
          the same capabilities of

          the processes today. Invoices will be printed from the IBM centers of
          Tulsa and/or Krakow to enable dispatching locally. In addition,
          invoices will be printed in Bangalore and faxed directly to the
          customer. The invoices will be sent via post and/or faxed and be sent
          the customer.

     9.   Once an issue has been recorded it is automatically routed to an
          assigned support person who will validate the issue where possible and
          take the appropriate steps to remedy the issue. If it is determined
          that assistance is needed from the client organization the application
          will suggest the appropriate stakeholder to route the issue to. This
          can be accepted by the support person, in which case an automatic
          email is generated to that individual. If overridden, the support
          person is free to choose an alternative stakeholder to assign the
          dispute to.

     10.  The stakeholder will then receive an email automatically generated by
          AR Collect(TM). In the subject field will be the customer name and
          account number together with the value of the issue disputed.
          Contained in the body of the mail is pertinent information relevant to
          the stakeholder such as PO and SO #. Attached will be a PDF file that
          will contain the entire history of the issue including the number of
          touches to date and by whom.

     11.  The stakeholder will be requested to click a hyperlink that is
          contained within the email. This will take them to Equitant's web
          based CDR(TM) application.

     12.  Through the CDR(TM) interface the stakeholder will be presented with a
          summary of all outstanding issues (including such information as
          customer details, invoice details, $ values ties up in the dispute
          etc.).

     13.  By drilling into a particular dispute the stakeholder will be offered
          a list of all the transactions involved in the dispute as well as the
          complete history of the case.

     14.  The stakeholder is requested to participate in the resolution of the
          dispute by answering all questions presented to them, as well as
          providing any ancillary information, which may assist in the solving
          the dispute.

     15.  All information captured by the stakeholder is immediately visible to
          the Cash Collection and Dispute Coordination teams.

     16.  If the stakeholder does not respond then the option exists to send
          reminders and if necessary escalate the issue up through the client
          management structure. The escalation process is standardized through
          an "escalation matrix" which sets the amount of time allowed before
          bumping to the next level, as well as tracking of the organization
          structure for routing purposes.

     INBOUND ISSUES:

     17.  It is understood that the customer service department plays a role in
          the distribution of in- bound receivables issues. It is envisaged that
          access to AR Collect(TM) will enable them to log the issue directly
          into the application and thus automatically route it to a support
          person. Where the department is involved in the resolution of issues
          it is envisaged that the CDR(TM)

          application will be used as outlined above. This process will ensure
          that all issues reported by a customer are recorded in one application
          with the appropriate workflow attached.

     RESOLVE ISSUES:

     18.  If the issue has been satisfactorily resolved then either the
          appropriate credit note is raised or the issue is released from its
          dispute status and becomes available to the Cash Collector for
          collection once again.

     19.  Equitant's Executive Dashboard(TM) will be utilized to provide D&B
          with best in class metrics as to the performance of every aspect of
          the customer AR portfolio. As long as the data is available to support
          the metric, there is complete flexibility for D&B to define all
          desired metrics and view them on a daily basis via the web-based
          Executive Dashboard(TM). This significant tool will be globally
          leveraged to give D&B the benefits of a single point of access to a
          global view of it's AR on a consistent and timely basis.

          (c) CUSTOMER INFORMATION & SUPPORT

CUSTOMER WEB PORTAL - A customer web portal will be developed containing, but
not restricted to, the following functionality. A final functional specification
will be produced after a consultation process has been conducted that will
involve appropriate representatives from D&B and IBM /Equitant. This process
will commence not later that 6 months from the completion date of the Transition
period. This solution is not included in the current price and will be
undertaken as a separate initiative.

     1.   Customer capability to view & print outstanding transactions on their
          account.

     2.   Customer ability to tag issues and payment commitments on -line to
          specific transactions.

     3.   Customer ability to view and print details of product usage
          statements.

     4.   Customer ability to make credit card payments on-line.

          (d)  AP / AR NETTING

IBM will continue the existing practice of matching Duns# from the AR where a
customer has an existing liability to D&B to any outstanding liability D&B may
have to that customer on their AP ledger and netting one against the other.

CALCULATED DATA -Certain calculation will be made on the supplied data
including, but not limited, to the following:

               -    Customer Sales YTD

               -    12mths Payment average

               -    Prior years sales

               -    Month to Date

A) SOLUTION OVERVIEW - EUROPE OTC

(i) OVERALL APPROACH AND SOLUTION

Utilizing its significant and leading role as a premier provider of F&A
outsourcing, IBM is pleased to offer D&B its business process solution for
outsourcing D&B's European Order-to-Cash processes. IBM and Equitant, utilizing
their extensive presence and experience with client order-to-cash processes,
have aligned to provide D&B with a proven solution based on core competencies
gained from similar relationships with numerous clients. This section will
document IBM's understanding of D&B's current environment and IBM's solution
description.

         (a) CURRENT  D&B ENVIRONMENT

Assessing an order-to-cash (OTC) process can be broken down into six main areas
of focus: Order Entry, Accounts Receivable, Locations, Processes, Management
Reporting, and Working Capital Performance. Based on these areas and work in due
diligence, IBM's understanding of the current Order to Cash landscape at D&B in
Europe can be described as follows:

     -    ORDER ENTRY: During IBM's due diligence efforts, D&B has shared that
          there are complicated revenue recognition requirements based on
          product usage, revenue splitting by product, and other conditions.
          Additionally, exceptions have been noted where the sales team is
          unable to obtain accurate and/or complete information, requiring
          rework for the Commercial Finance billing team and/or the sales team,
          as well as potential delays in billing and downstream cash flow. There
          is very little flexibility within the SOP system to alter the order
          details.

     -    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: There are four different A/R systems in Europe,
          with each receiving data feeds from the SOP system. The main dispute
          categories appear to be:

               -    P.O. Missing

               -    Incorrect Billing Name and/or address

               -    Quality Issues (Product customer received was not what the
                    ordered)

               -    Customer claims products that appeared on the usage
                    statement were never ordered

               -    Pricing and/or unit discrepancies

          Cash application must be performed separately on each system, and
          collection efforts are dependent on information from each system. In
          Europe, a high percentage of payments are normally electronic, thus
          requiring special remittance files directly from customers rather than
          via a lockbox network as is common in the United States.

     -    LOCATIONS: The majority of the current 34 personnel supporting
          Europe's Order-to-Cash processing are in the United Kingdom (18.5) and
          Italy (12.6), with several part-time employees in the Netherlands/
          Belgium (2.9). Major language requirements are English, Italian,
          Dutch, French, German and Flemish. Local regulatory and fiscal
          requirements will impact local responsibilities.

     -    PROCESSES: Variations in processes exist between the four primary
          physical locations, as well as along the lines of customer groups,
          products, pricing and delivery methods. IBM anticipates a high
          percentage of receivable dollars and related credit risk are in the
          Global Major and also Key Accounts. Exception processing may exist to
          handle a wide variety of requirements e.g., revenue recognition
          requirements. Where SOP does not support these

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                       45

<PAGE>

          requirements in an automated manner, there may be a negative impact on
          processing costs.

     -    MANAGEMENT REPORTING: It appears there is not a systematic solution to
          automate the consolidation and generation of management reports. With
          multiple A/R systems, D&B has difficulty consolidating their
          management reporting, and integrate order entry / sales data with A/R
          information. Additionally, reason codes are likely assigned to various
          disputes in the A/R systems, but translation of this information into
          root cause analysis activities may not be supportable in the current
          infrastructure.

     -    WORKING CAPITAL PERFORMANCE: In the United States, D&B had an average
          Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) of 69 days (12 month rolling average),
          with a best possible DSO of 47. Considering that Europe performance is
          historically weaker than the United States for many U.S-based
          companies, it would suggest that an even greater opportunity of 23+
          days past due DSO's is available in Europe. This is backed up by
          European DSO statistics for D&B in the UK reporting a DSO at 100/110
          days and Italy at approximately 140 days. Equitant's client track
          record for improving past due DSO in Europe typically ranges from
          50-95 percent.

A project of this type has many challenges and unique requirements. Based on
these challenges and IBM findings in due diligence, IBM has developed a solution
under which it will serve as an integrator that understands how to:

     -    Reduce operating cost

     -    Release working capital tied up in accounts receivable

     -    Improve resource utilization and deployment

     -    Ensure adequate security and process controls consistent with Sarbanes
          Oxley requirements and enabling exception-free SAS 70 certification

     -    Implement best-in-class business processes and technologies

     -    Focus on Quality and Customer satisfaction

          (b) PROPOSED SOLUTION AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH

The Order-to-Cash process in Europe has a small number of systems that will
serve as the building blocks for an interim solution. Within a two to four year
period, if a favorable business case exists, IBM would like to see D&B implement
Oracle 11i following a successful implementation in the United States; however,
IBM's solution is not dependent on this implementation and IBM will continue to
provide the Services for the Charges specified in the Agreement if D&B does not
implement Oracle 11i.

In line with this thinking, IBM suggests a two-step transformation approach for
D&B's Order-to-Cash process in Europe based on the proposed migration from the
multiple systems used currently to Oracle 11i in the future, with delivery
locations in Poland and India. Step 1 details the proposed solution IBM plans to
implement when Service transfers to IBM.

PROCESS TRANSFORMATION CONSULTING PROGRAM

IBM's solution includes purpose built tools and best practice capabilities that
can release immediate value for D&B in Europe, can be deployed within 90 days,
and are flexible enough to work with both the interim and long-term solutions
and related systems. At the same time, IBM has included in its costs for this
area, the necessary funds to cover a short and sharply-focused consulting review
of the processes around the use and entry into the existing SOP system across
the European markets. In IBM's opinion and experience, much can be gained from
instituting a significantly more standardized and robust processing environment
around SOP that eliminates or significantly reduces the variability and manual
intervention that is currently prevalent across the current operating
environment.

IBM understands the importance that D&B places on controls and
policies/procedures. As part of this consulting program, IBM will address D&B
controls and quality requirements that are vital to the OTC process. These
requirements include but are not limited to:

     -    Maintenance of system standing data

     -    Sales order verification

     -    Revenue recognition requirements

     -    Communication and Language Capabilities

     -    Document Management

     -    Compliance with signing and authority

     -    Overusage management

     -    Duns Numbering and new account creation

     -    Special contract pricing Local market compliance issues

Utilizing IBM Business Consulting Services (BCS) consultants, this process
consulting work will deliver documented rules and procedures, a delivery medium
for training and continued refreshment and access by all interested parties. IBM
believes this to be a practical, expeditious and economic solution to a process
area that contains numerous improvement opportunities. However, due to the
limited size and resources in this area, it is not IBM's opinion that a
fundamental technology re-design of the order-taking process is justified in the
short-term. As a result, IBM will focus on process and organizational changes
that both IBM and D&B will benefit from.

GLOBAL DELIVERY CENTERS

Together with Equitant, IBM has successfully established low cost delivery
centers in a number of countries around the globe. Based on IBM's assessment of
D&B's requirements and IBM's extensive capabilities and track record in these
centers, IBM proposes two delivery locations for the Order-to-cash process in
Europe: (1) Bangalore India and (2) Krakow, Poland.

IBM's delivery approach provides D&B with immediate cost savings by leveraging
labor arbitrage and productivity improvements via quick wins from IBM's
extensive experience and process redesign capabilities in the Order-to-Cash
space. Over time, additional work will be absorbed by Bangalore, India as
processes are standardized and improved and as D&B gain increasing comfort with
the global model.

Krakow, will be leveraged to support non-English requirements as well as
strategic customer groups such as Global Major Accounts and Key Accounts.
Bangalore, India will provide support where English is the primary language
requirement; Manual cash application will also be processed in India. Where
handoffs are required between locations, Equitant's workflow capabilities will
be leveraged to route and manage the activities.

O2C SOLUTION DESCRIPTION - EUROPE

The following section explains IBM's order-to-cash (OTC) solution, broken down
into six main areas of focus: Order Entry, Prepare and Prioritize work, Contact
Customers, Research Issues, Resolve issues, and cash applications. Based on
these areas and IBM's work in due diligence, IBM's proposed solution of the
future Order to Cash landscape at D&B in Europe can be described as follows. All
process steps will be performed by IBM except where expressly stated otherwise
(e.g., scanning in Order Entry process step #1).

     ORDER ENTRY:

          1.   When a customer order is received it is typically in the format
               of a standard order form and has accompanying documentation,
               (i.e., business case data justifying pricing tariffs used). IBM's
               proposed solution, post-Transition, is that this documentation
               will be transferred electronically (i.e., scanning) by D&B staff
               in the major D&B offices - High Wycombe, Milan and Rotterdam and
               Brussels. IBM will deploy the necessary scanning hardware and
               software to enable this to happen. The scanning or other
               electronic solution of this documentation will enable IBM staff
               in the Krakow and Bangalore processing centers to gain access to
               the sales order details electronically.

          2.   Whilst the proposed scanning or other electronic solution will
               certainly assist in ensuring IBM can process orders in line with
               current practices, IBM and D&B are committed to exploring more
               efficient ways of capturing the order information and will
               explore options to do this during the consulting work being
               planned as part of the Transition work. One such option may be
               Equitant's OpenPay(TM) web-based ordering solution (which is
               currently not included in IBM's pricing structure and is not
               required for IBM to perform the Services or achieve the Service
               Levels). This can potentially provide a more efficient manner in
               which to offer D&B's Services to low end users and offer a credit
               card

               processing solution that can be used by the current receivables
               personnel. The solution can leverage advanced fraud screening
               (Bin, Luhn, Velocity, Address Verification, Verified by Visa,
               CVV2, Secured by Mastercard, Hot Lists, Negative Lists, Offline
               Fraud Screening workflows etc). The following diagram is a sample
               of an OpenPay process flow. As previously mentioned, this is one
               option which D&B and IBM may wish to consider during Transition.

                                  [FLOW CHART]

          3.   Using the scanned information, IBM's solution involves processing
               customer orders using D&B existing Sales Order Processing Systems
               (predominantly SOP in Europe). IBM propose to construct exception
               reports for the various revenue recognition requirements to allow
               splitting or allocation of revenue across products.

          4.   For low level accounts in the UK and Benelux, D&B has already
               made significant progress by enabling its call center agents to
               input orders directly into SOP. However, as previously stated,
               further improvement could be made by integrating PCSMART and SOP
               into one seamless application that would enable sales and call
               center staff to have additional self-service capabilities, if a
               viable business case exists for doing so.

     PREPARE AND PRIORITIZE WORK:

          5.   A data extraction of all open transactions will be taken nightly
               from the four European A/R systems. Certain data integrity and
               transformation actions occur before uploading into AR Collect(TM)
               platform. The data file can be expanded to include line item
               level invoice details to support revenue recognition requirements
               and a more integrated view of the Order-to-Cash process via the
               Executive Dashboard(TM). There should be no significant

               technology overhead in obtaining data from Oracle, Sun or
               Navision (additional systems still need to be identified) and
               uploading this to ARCollect(TM). As the tool has the capability
               to establish parent /child relationships an opportunity exists to
               use the DUNS number from D&B's own systems to create a link
               between customers that have originated from different billing
               systems. This will facilitate the organization in monitoring its
               risk exposure to any particular customer and would greatly add
               value in the management of the "Global" or core customer
               accounts.

          6.   Customers will be assigned to Cash collectors with the
               appropriate linguistic ability and skills set for the customer
               segment.

          7.   Using pre-agreed treatment schedules, customer accounts and their
               associated transactions can be routed through the workflow
               engines most appropriate to the customer segment. In this manner
               the resources can be applied effectively. The portfolio can be
               segmented into core gold service customer and non-core customers
               and still further by other classifications such as risk and
               trading experience. Segments that require higher skill sets and a
               more intense relationship experience can be distinguished from
               those that will be processed via automatic email demand programs.

     CONTACT CUSTOMERS:

          8.   The customer is contacted and asked to pay all overdue
               transactions. In some instances (especially for transactions with
               high dollar values) an approach prior to the due date is made to
               identify any problems in advance. The frequency of customer
               contacts is customized by customer group and performance
               attributes to achieve the desired results as contractually
               committed (e.g., percentage of past dues).

          9.   If the customer states that it intends to discharge payment for
               certain transactions, an appropriate status code is tagged to the
               transactions in question together with a follow up date and a
               payment date. These commitments are monitored daily and the
               customer is contacted again if its commitment is not followed
               through.

     RESEARCH ISSUES:

          10.  If the customer states that it has an issue regarding one or more
               transactions, the appropriate dispute code is tagged to the
               transaction and the questions pertinent to that issue type asked
               and recorded.

          11.  Once an issue has been recorded it is automatically routed to a
               dispute coordinator who will validate the issue where possible
               and take the appropriate steps to remedy the issue. If it is
               determined that assistance is needed from the client organization
               the application will suggest the appropriate stakeholder to route
               the issue to. This can be accepted by the Dispute Coordinator, in
               which case an automatic email is generated to that individual. If
               overridden the dispute coordinator is free to choose an
               alternative stakeholder to assign the dispute to.

<PAGE>

          12.  The stakeholder will then receive an email automatically
               generated by AR Collect(TM). In the subject field will be the
               customer name and account number together with the value of the
               issue disputed. Contained in the body of the mail is pertinent
               information relevant to the stakeholder such as PO and SO #.
               Attached will be a PDF file that will contain the entire history
               of the issue including the number of touches to date and by whom.

          13.  The stakeholder will be requested to click a hyperlink that is
               contained within the email. This will take them to Equitant's web
               based CDR(TM) application.

          14.  Through the CDR(TM) interface the stakeholder will be presented
               with a summary of all outstanding issues (including such
               information as customer details, invoice details, $ values ties
               up in the dispute etc.).

          15.  By drilling into a particular dispute the stakeholder will be
               offered a list of all the transactions involved in the dispute as
               well as the complete history of the case.

          16.  The stakeholder is requested to participate in the resolution of
               the dispute by answering all questions presented to them, as well
               as providing any ancillary information which may assist in the
               solving the dispute.

          17.  All information captured by the stakeholder is immediately
               visible to the Cash Collection and Dispute Coordination teams.

          18.  If the stakeholder does not respond then the option exists to
               send reminders and if necessary escalate the issue up through the
               client management structure. The escalation process is
               standardized through an "escalation matrix" which sets the amount
               of time allowed before bumping to the next level, as well as
               tracking of the organization structure for routing purposes.

     RESOLVE ISSUES:

          19.  If the issue has been satisfactorily resolved then either the
               appropriate credit note is raised after appropriate approval
               processes are followed or the issue is released from its dispute
               status and becomes available to the Cash Collector for collection
               once again.

     CASH APPLICATION:

          20.  The payment information from the bank is uploaded from the
               appropriate accounts. All remittances that are received will be
               made available to the IBM Facility in Bangalore and Krakow

          21.  Once a match has been identified the documents are then routed to
               the designated cash applicators "to do" list where they are able
               to prioritize their workload by value and/or date and examine the
               match. When the match has been accepted the cash applicator
               closes the transactions in the appropriate legacy AR system. The
               match is then archived but is always retrievable.

<PAGE>

          22.  Where a payment is received without a remittance or vice versa
               and remains without a counterpart beyond the allotted timeframe
               an escalation process is launched. This involves an appropriate
               status code being added to the transactions. The appropriate cash
               collector responsible for the customer account is determined from
               AR Collect(TM) and a notification email generated. This process
               is tracked and escalated as appropriate and in accordance with
               the agreed process.

          23.  Equitant's Executive Dashboard(TM) will be utilized to provide
               D&B with best in class metrics as to the performance of every
               aspect of the customer A/R portfolio. As long as the data is
               available to support the metric, there is complete flexibility
               for D&B to define all desired metrics and view them on a daily
               basis via the web-based Executive Dashboard(TM). This significant
               tool will be globally leveraged to give D&B the benefits of a
               single point of access to a global view of it's AR on a
               consistent and timely basis.

The diagrams below depicts a high-level technology process flows that
pictorially represents the process steps documented above for the interim and
future state. This flow shows the complete Order-to-cash process, highlighting
the technology changes that will occur over time.

B) SUPPLIER STAFF AND FACILITIES

(i) SERVICE DELIVERY LOCATIONS

IBM proposes a multi-facility operation utilizing low cost centers to service
D&B's European Order to Cash Solution. IBM's proposed staffing solution offers
significant cost savings on D&B's existing model, while delivering proven OTC
performance though managed personnel at the recommended delivery centers.

Based on IBM's assessment of D&B's requirements and its extensive capabilities
and track record at these centers, IBM proposes two delivery locations for the
European Order-to-Cash process: (1) Krakow, Poland, and (2) Bangalore, India.

<PAGE>

Since IBM is the leader in Finance and Accounting Outsourcing, it is critical
for it to be the leader in internal controls as well. IBM believes its expertise
in documenting processes, policies and procedures and IBM internal control tools
will enhance D&B's ability to meet its requirements around Sarbanes-Oxley.

IBM has an ongoing commitment to Six Sigma which is embedded in its Finance
Processing Services. IBM will take a leadership role in the overall development
and deployment of a quality program on behalf of D&B. In addition, IBM will
drive the leadership in achieving the targeted results of the program. For D&B,
IBM will initially focus on improving process performance levels for the
critical Finance Processing processes as described in Exhibit B-6 (Mission
Critical Service Failures) (including Order to Cash and Collections processes).
Specific actions taken by IBM will include (a) identifying the processes and
sub-processes that support the mission critical services and documenting the
initial baseline process performance levels, (b) identifying key D&B resources
to serve as champions for supporting the identification and prioritization of
Six Sigma process improvement projects, (c) collaborating with those D&B process
leaders to review initial assessments and agree on prioritized project approach,
(d) developing a prioritized roadmap and timelines for end-to-end process
quality improvements, and (e) executing the agreed upon quality improvement
initiatives using IBM Six Sigma specialists and other process resources as
required.

Quality initiatives identified to drive performance toward the stated goal of
5.5 sigma performance objectives will be jointly prioritized with key D&B
process leaders. This will include both those initiatives designed to address
process improvements within the scope of the services provided, as well as
initiatives designed to address processes within key D&B retained activities
that will drive overall end-to-end process quality improvements. For processes
which are positioned outside of the initial collaborative detailed commitment,
target dates for achievement approaching 5.5 sigma goals and potential
investments will be sized as part of the comprehensive quality improvement plan.
IBM will develop the comprehensive quality improvement program in conjunction
with D&B during the first six months following the commencement date of service
delivery.

IBM prides itself on having a strong Sarbanes-Oxley compliant control
environment. The cornerstone of this environment is its Semi-Annual Control
Assessment program, or SACA. SACA focuses on key processes related to a client's
business, including solution design and contracting, project management and
solution delivery, and workplace security. The program is designed to determine
if an effective control system is in place. This "bottoms-up" analysis, combined
with proactive management reviews and IBM internal and external audits, provides
visibility to control posture and issues, and supports the report to management
of the control position of IBM's business.

IBM shall provide the SAS 70 Type II audits as required by Section 14 of the
Agreement.

IBM will work with D&B to develop an effective control environment for this
project.

Additionally, IBM has several activities which support SOX compliance included
in its solution, including the following:

     1.     MAINTENANCE OF A FORMAL BTO CONTROL ORGANIZATION-provides oversight
          across IBM's BTO contracts, utilizing a common control framework
          modeled after COSO, as interpreted by D&B. This will provide another
          layer of assurance that the control standards of D&B and IBM are met
          on a daily basis

     2.     DOCUMENTED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES - These will be developed jointly
          by D&B and IBM at an appropriate level of detail

     3.     DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN PROCESS DOCUMENTATION

          -      During knowledge transfer, IBM's Transition team will review
               existing documentation and work with D&B to complete
               documentation of processes and controls used to perform the
               Services

          -      IBM will maintain process documentation for the Services on an
               ongoing basis

          -      As a result of performing this role, D&B will have up to date
               documented processes that are subject to audit, review, KPI
               tracking, and increased scrutiny

     4.     SUPPORT D&B IN ITS SPECIFIC SOX COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES

          -    IBM will work with D&B to perform an initial inventory of
               processes and process descriptions enabling D&B to perform
               analysis

          -    IBM will participate on D&B-directed teams that document
               processes, identify process and documentation gaps and remediate
               gaps

          -    IBM will support D&B testing performed on processes

<PAGE>

     5.     IBM'S BUSINESS CONDUCT GUIDELINES - IBM will perform annual employee
          certification reviews of Supplier Personnel, thereby providing
          additional assurance that policies and a code of conduct are being
          followed

     6.     SAS 70 TYPE II REVIEWS - As described elsewhere in this Section, IBM
          will provide D&B an independent third party appraisal of controls and
          their effectiveness in accordance Section 14 of the main Agreement.

     7.     SIX SIGMA PROCESS IMPROVEMENT - IBM's use of six sigma processes
          will provide a recognized, structured, disciplined, data-driven
          approach for continually improving process quality and productivity

     8.     SIGNIFICANT ITEMS REPORT (SIR) - IBM will provide SIRs, based on
          thresholds agreed with D&B. Specifically, IBM will communicate
          unexpected, material items to D&B as they arise, perform a root cause
          analysis, and identify and implement remedies

     9.     PERFORMANCE MONITORING -IBM will use KPI/SLA/scorecards to measure
          performance and controls

     10.    JOINT ISSUES LOG - IBM will make a tool accessible to D&B and IBM to
          identify specific Service delivery issues and to track their
          resolution

     11.    ESCALATION PROCESS - The Parties will agree upon a framework with
          for IBM to obtain clarification on accounting issues and questions

     12.    QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORTING AND CONTROLS COMMITTEE MEETINGS - IBM
          and D&B financial representatives will participate in meetings with
          focus on control and financial reporting activities

     13.    QUALITY ASSURANCE TEAM-IBM process managers will meet regularly to
          review scorecards, potential control issues, audit results and
          recommendations, and progress on implementing enhancements

     14.    CONTROL SELF ASSESSMENTS - IBM will perform periodic walkthroughs
          of a process to confirm the process is functioning as designed and
          that controls are being followed

     15.    IBM INTERNAL AUDITS-IBM will perform audits of delivery procedures
          for its contract with D&B and the contractual charges to D&B

     16.    CLIENT INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AUDITS-IBM will coordinate and support
          reviews by D&B's internal and external auditors at service delivery
          sites

IBM believes the SACA program positions it very well for this exercise. It
demonstrates that embedded controls are an on-going component of business
process management and measurement. Business will be conducted and Services
performed in accordance with IBM's Business Conduct Guidelines. IBM will perform
tests and make assessments of the adequacy of controls periodically during the
Term, and identify, report, and resolve process deficiencies in a timely manner.
IBM will continue to perform an ongoing assessment of process execution on
environment and business model changes. IBM is confident it can fully support
D&B with respect to its Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.

IBM has also obtained SAS 70, Type II certification in a number of its delivery
centers, including Tulsa and Bangalore, for specific clients and selected
processes. In this proposal IBM has included a plan to put a SAS 70
certification process in place for D&B to provide another independent
perspective on controls. The following table represents IBM's view on the shared
responsibilities associated with SAS70:

3. Confer with client on the scope and timing of the review, accommodating client
   requirements to the extent practicable in IBM's reasonable discretion.                    [X]         [X]

4. Maintain updated documentation (process narratives, process flows, control objectives,
   control actions) in a format that facilitates multi-client SAS 70 Type II reviews.        [X]

5.Coordinate the reviews so they are completed on time and fullycover the scope.             [X]

6.Work with Service Auditor to resolve issues and queries during the review.                 [X]

7.Distribute report that covers the processes IBM performs for the client.                   [X]

8.Review report and share with internal and external auditors as appropriate.                            [X]

9.Provide feedback to IBM, including that of internal and external auditors.                             [X]
</TABLE>

The SAS 70 - Type II public accounting firm report will provide information
about IBM's control objectives and activities. Relevant elements of the report
will be provided to D&B, which can in turn be provided to D&B auditors. This
will provide additional financial confidence in the underlying control
environment established to support D&B through IBM's delivery organization.

Equitant also understands the importance of ensuring an appropriate control
environment. IBM's solution addresses the need for quality management and
supplements compliance of regulatory requirements with end-to-end process
documentation and complete visibility via Equitant's Executive Dashboard(TM).
The SOX regulatory requirements magnify the need for a complete solution that
provides visibility of the whole D&B Accounts Receivable portfolio. As such,
IBM's proposal is to incorporate both US and European receivables portfolios
into Equitant's Executive Dashboard. This reporting capability should greatly
enhance D&B's visibility into its overall customer accounts receivable portfolio
and better position D&B for future real time disclosure requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Although the attestation required under Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 remains D&B's
obligation, IBM and Equitant will work collaboratively with D&B to provide the
information required for its attestation. IBM is particularly sensitive to the
control requirements and demands for financial processing, particularly given
its heritage PwC Consulting capabilities which were acquired by IBM. IBM will
comply with D&B's existing financial reporting process and meet all Service
Level requirements set forth in Schedule B (Service Levels), even though IBM
cannot formally attest to results. IBM's entire market reputation in this field
depends on its ability to satisfy needs in this critical area, and to perform in
a way that allows its clients to meet their obligations.

SUMMARY

This document describes IBM's solution for network and telecommunication
requirements required to perform the Transaction Processing, Data Programming,
Finance Processing Services, and Contact Center Services for D&B.

The technology portion of the solution will be implemented in multiple phases:
Point of departure ("Phase 0"), which describes the "As-Is" state as of the
Effective Date, Point of Arrival ("Phase 1"), which describes the state during
the transition from Point of Departure, and Point of Final Arrival ("Phase 2"),
which describes the future "To-Be" state. Where applicable, these different
phases are documented.

During Phase 0, the primary activity ensuring IBM Personnel residing in D&B
facilities have the ability to connect into IBM systems. D&B, IBM and CSC will
coordinate to develop the necessary security and connectivity. During this
phase, the Transitioned Personnel will continue to access the D&B applications
via the existing D&B network and will also utilize the existing D&B voice
network. There are only two clusters in this phase with Transitioned Personnel,
they are Data Programming and Contact Center. The Data programming sites
involved are High Wycombe, UK, and Mississauga, Canada. For the Contact Centers
it will include High Wycombe, UK, Milan, IT, Manchester, UK, Rotterdam, NL,
Austin, TX and Bethlehem, PA.

During Phase 1, IBM will phase in locations to handle the in-scope activities
for the respective clusters. There will be no change in connectivity for the
Transitioned Personnel, they will continue to access applications as stated in
Phase 0. During this Transition, IBM will be adding facilities in Bangalore,
Krakow and Tulsa for Finance Processing Services. For Contact Centers, IBM will
phase in New Delhi, Bangalore, Budapest and Greenock. The IBM Data Programming
will be handled from Bangalore. For Transaction Processing, IBM will utilize
Budapest and Greenock. IBM will be adding voice and data at each of these sites
as necessary and will be linking into the D&B network for application and data
access. IBM will continue to utilize the existing D&B applications with access
provided by IBM to D&B and then by utilizing D&B's network to the existing
hosting locations. Specific timings for voice and data connectivity to each of
the specific locations as well as the staff counts can be found in the IBM
Transition Document.

The following table represents the IBM solution sites and the locations where
Transitioned Personnel will perform the Services:

During Phase 2, IBM will be replacing selected D&B applications with new
applications or new interfaces to existing D&B data sources. For the Contact
Center, IBM will implement a new IVR and Genesys system, which would displace
the current D&B components as described in Attachment A-7-3 (Transformation
Solution). All D&B applications that are not being impacted by the
Transformation will continue to be utilized as they were in the previous phase.
With the implementation of this phase, there will not be a requirement to keep
IBM Transitioned Personnel at all of the D&B sites. D&B sites in Mississauga,
Canada, Manchester UK, Milan, IT, Rotterdam- NE, Austin, TX will not be
utilized, while a few IBM employees will remain in High Wycombe, UK and
Bethlehem, PA. Specific head-count and dates are described in Attachment A-7-2
(Transition Schedule). IBM firewalls, which were installed at some of the D&B
facilities will be removed at this time and assets belonging to D&B will be
returned.

The following table outlines the sites, both D&B and IBM, and the timeframes in
which the sites will be operational: For those sites where there are no
Transitioned Personnel performing the Services the connectivity at those sites
will be dedicated.

Each of the above D&B locations will require the network redesign activity
described in this data network section.

There will be several levels of network security protection at the locations
where Transitioned Personnel perform the Services. The first is achieved by
separating the IBM employee network traffic on to a separate VLAN network
segment. The second level of security is achieved with a firewall that will
restrict traffic flow to and from the new IBM VLAN network segment. The third
level of security is achieved with application access control lists. These
levels of security will ensure that the Transitioned Personnel have the proper
application access as described below in the application access section.

The following network diagram represents the network configuration for locations
in Europe where Transitioned Personnel perform the Services:

                                   [GRAPHIC]

The following D&B locations have firewall devices that will be utilized to
support the network design: Milan, Rotterdam, High Wycombe, and Mississauga. The
sites where IBM will provide new firewall devices are: Austin (redundant),
Bethlehem(redundant), and Manchester (single). An additional router will be
installed by CSC in High Wycombe, Milan and Rotterdam to accommodate AS400/DEWS
traffic. The router will be supplied by IBM, and is required to support the Data
Link

<PAGE>

Switching (DLSW) within DEWS. The new VLAN at each site will be required to
support the FTE numbers as described in Attachment A-7-2 (Transition Schedule)
(i.e., each FTE represents one IP interface to the VLAN).

D&B/CSC will work together to complete the network reconfiguration work at the
locations where Transitioned Personnel perform the Services. The Transitioned
Personnel will be moved to a dedicated network segment (VLAN). The Transitioned
Personnel will have access to all applications needed to do their jobs. Once
these employees are segregated, CSC will update the firewall rules on the
firewall units to restrict the Transitioned Personnel access. The Transitioned
Personnel will only have access to specific systems as needed. IBM has its own
security standards for remote employees. Each employee will be required to
maintain antivirus and personal firewall software, active on their desktops, and
also to adhere to IBM computer usage guidelines. IBM provided desktop equipment
will adhere to D&B desktop security requirements, and will connect to the IBM
network through a VPN tunnel (i.e. AT&T Network Client) that uses 3DES
encryption. D&B will be responsible for providing access to the Internet for all
Transitioned Employees to allow VPN access to IBM applications.

Phase 1 - Connectivity

IBM will work with D&B to establish a secure link between the IBM and D&B
networks. IBM will be utilize a combination of private and public VPNs, along
with dedicated T1/E1 lines linking D&B to the IBM network. The data connectivity
will be at minimum DES3 Encrypted.

Detailed Network Description

Network Responsibilities:

     -    IBM will provide dedicated connectivity to D&B requisite locations
          from IBM sites.

     -    IBM will order the circuits, manage the provisioning and invoice
          processing.

     -    IBM will provide the ongoing circuit management of all local loops.

     -    IBM will provide redundancy at each connection (details to follow).

     -    IBM will order and ship requisite router(s) to each D&B and IBM
          locations to enable the connectivity at each site.

     -    IBM will be responsible for the remote monitoring of the network
          devices.

     -    IBM will be responsible for the physical installation and maintenance
          of network devices at IBM sites.

     -    D&B will use existing capacity and equipment at the Berkeley Heights,
          NJ facility to connect through the internet to tunnel through Virtela
          and AT&T.

     -    D&B/CSC and IBM will work together to ensure connections are
          established and successfully tested.

     -    D&B/CSC will make all firewall rule changes to provide IBM access to
          required applications and data within the D&B systems.

IBM will provide redundancy at each location using various methods. In the
European region IBM will utilize an ISDN backup service for connections with a
bandwidth less than 1 mbps, which includes the installation, configuration and
ongoing management of the ISDN backup lines. The ISDN Dial around the network
provides network diversity as it protects against failure of the core network
that IBM will be implementing. It is a separate technology platform by which
data traffic may flow in the event the primary technology platform is
unavailable. When connectivity between the

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                    A-6-5-6

<PAGE>

core network becomes unavailable, data traffic will be automatically rerouted
through the ISDN backup.

IBM will use load balancing technology for connections that are greater than one
(1) mbps in Europe. For example, if a site requires two (2) mbps of bandwidth,
IBM will provide this bandwidth utilizing two (2) one (1) mbps connections. In
the event one of the lines should fail, traffic can be automatically rerouted to
the other carrier. The benefits of load balancing ensure continuous Internet
access for IBM's access into the D&B network with full service redundancy,
allowing IBM to connect to two or more Internet Service Providers. In the event
of a failure, traffic rerouting will affectively eliminate down time.

In North America and Bangalore, IBM will implement a method that utilizes
diverse circuits and routers using dynamic routing protocols. IBM will terminate
4 DS1s into a single router to give D&B a six (6) Mbps port. All traffic from
Tulsa OK, New Delhi India, and Bangalore India will terminate at this
centralized port. In the event that the connection or the router fails, there
will be Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) running between the router that
fails over to the secondary router. The second router in place will have four
(4) physically diverse DS1s. By leveraging four (4) DS1s from one provider and
four (4) from another, we will have local loop diversity.

                                   [GRAPHIC]

IBM will provide a network to D&B with flexibility and redundancy. From a data
security perspective, all network traffic originating or terminating the D&B WAN
will be encrypted using IPSec tunneling and 3DES encryption between all IBM
network Points of Presence (POPs). IBM will provide and manage the dedicated
access circuits to establish connectivity from IBM into D&B at all of the in
scope D&B locations (Berkeley Heights, High Wycombe and Sungard backup
facilities in Philadelphia and UK). All other D&B sites will be accessible to
IBM via the D&B WAN. All D&B locations will be capable of maintaining the
existing IP address schema. IBM can support network and port address translation
at all sites. Please refer to D&B Data Inventory spreadsheet that is
accompanying this document for detailed information by connection.

Network configuration in IBM facilities will include (a) isolated LAN, (b)
segmented traffic, (c) dedicated staff and (d) data protection provisions.

WAN Description

IBM's Network Operations Centers ("NOC") will provide proactive management of
the IBM provided WAN solution. This includes monitoring security and performance
components configured specifically for D&B. As part of the overall management,
IBM provides event notification to the customer for critical network related
incidents. IBM will work with D&B to develop a detailed notification plan during
the Transition.

During Transition, IBM will work with D&B to define network events and their
associated severity. Based on the severity levels mutually agreed to by the
Parties during Transition, IBM will provide varying levels of notification, to
D&B and escalate as applicable. IBM's Operations Staff are comprised of
management personnel and network engineers, allowing analysis to be handled in
the most efficient manner. During Transition, IBM will work with D&B to develop
comprehensive ticket reporting and tracking procedures.

APPLICATION ACCESS

There are multiple steps which IBM and D&B will have to implement in order to
provide successful and secure access to applications across the D&B WAN.

Desktop Application Mapping

IBM staff

     -    IBM users identified by application and country to support D&B in the
          setup of user id's and passwords. A list of users required to access
          specific applications will be provided to D&B. D&B will be responsible
          for setting up user accounts for the specified IBM employees.

     -    IBM will map applications to End Users by delivery center and Service
          performed at each delivery center - based on geography and Service.
          Different IBM resources will need access to different applications and
          this information will be provided to D&B.

     -    IBM will load the appropriate applications, emulators, Citrix ICA
          client and GUIs onto the requisite IBM PCs.

     -    IBM will create and store an application image from IBM desktops/PCs,
          with all relevant D&B software, for each role (country, process),
          which will provide portability and the capability to quickly install
          applications onto PCs in the event of a PC failure, PC replacement, or
          new hires. Copies of these images will be stored at each IBM delivery
          centre delivering services to D&B. These images will be updated on an
          as needed basis. Additionally, these images will be stored in multiple
          facilities for business continuity purposes.

Application Configuration

IBM will perform the following Application connectivity testing:

In the IBM environment all applications will be pointed to the appropriate:

     -    Application servers

     -    Database servers

     -    Other supported applications

     -    Web servers

     -    Print servers

     -    File servers

     -    Documentation of how to use applications, policies and procedures, and
          other data related to Services

     -    Services/Ports on the servers

     -    telnet

     -    ftp

     -    http and/or https

     -    application/database specific ports

Application Connectivity Testing

IBM's application connectivity testing responsibilities include the following:

     -    Obtaining security permissions to access through D&B WAN

     -    Setting all data network communication lines

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                    A-6-5-12

<PAGE>

     -    Validating bi-directional application connectivity

     -    Working with D&B to ensure access to development and production
          environments for each application exists

     -    Performing user testing to validate that IBM can perform every step in
          function process guide at each delivery center

     -    Testing the redundancy and fail over capabilities of the data
          communication lines across each link

MAINFRAME CONNECTIVITY

D&B has mainframe servers for each geography, all of which are located and
maintained in Berkeley Heights. The United States, Canada, and Europe, and each
has their own maintenance schedule. When maintenance timeframes are documented,
it may be necessary to slide these maintenance schedules to meet the needs of
IBM resources performing services that utilize these mainframe applications. IBM
will work closely with D&B/CSC to implement maintenance schedules that satisfy
the needs of all Parties.

DunsVoice

For DunsVoice Assistance, IBM will utilize D&B's existing six workstations, six
telephones, three ACD servers and a muliplexor. In addition, a dedicated T1 line
will be installed by IBM from New Delhi to the Heights servers. The platform
used by the six workstations requires a Win98 platform. IBM and D&B will work
together to determine the timing of moving this equipment from D&B Austin to IBM
New Delhi. A short outage of the application will be required while this
transition takes place. Once implemented, IBM will be responsible for the
support and maintenance of the equipment.

DUNDIAL AND ACS

For the DUNSDial WorldWide (DDWW) application, connectivity for IBM will be
provided from the version of the application residing in Berkeley Heights as
opposed to Austin. Access will be handled via Hummingbird Host Explorer. For
ACS, D&B will move the application hosting from Austin to Berkeley Heights so it
will be accessible to IBM. Access will be handled via Hummingbird Exceed.

Cutover to Production

Prior to production cutover, IBM will perform the following activities to ensure
readiness, which include:

     -    Validating communication adequacy, stability and redundancy

     -    Scaling up users by process area and delivery center per transition
          plan

     -    Establishing daily IT operational status checklist (communication,
          servers)

     -    Establishing IT operational procedures including problem escalation

     -    Testing the solution for operational functionality

     -    Specific examples of testing include:

              1.    Access to documentation file servers

              2.    Ability to ftp files both to and from servers as required

              3.    Ability to establish telnet sessions as required

              4.    Ability to log on to all applications as required

SUPPLIER COMMUNICATIONS / MESSAGING

During phase 0 and 1, D&B's existing messaging platform will be utilized as
IBM's messaging platform is Transitioned (excluding Finance Process Services,
which will continue to utilize D&B's existing messaging platform during phases
0,1, and 2). IBM's messaging platform for Contact Center will be fully
implemented during Phase 2. If D&B updates its messaging platform and such
update impacts the Services, the changes will be accordance with the Change
Management

Process. From the beginning of Transition through the completion of
Transformation IBM Contact Center and Finance Processing Services resources,
interacting with D&B customers, will be issued standard D&B mailboxes and
accounts. D&B will be responsible to administer and maintain these accounts.
Microsoft Outlook will be installed on each IBM PC to support the use of D&B.com
email. Aside from the creation of these new accounts, it will be business as
usual for D&B.

At the completion of the Transformation, IBM will have Siebel CRM software
implemented at each IBM Contact Center. The Siebel CRM application will utilize
a solution using custom recipients and mail forwarding. It will be D&B's
responsibility to create custom recipients used only by IBM employees in the D&B
exchange directory. Successful administration of these custom recipients will
allow email to be properly routed to IBM employees. IBM Contact Center resources
will have their emails branded with the D&B.com domain. Additional details on
the implementation of the Siebel CRM application are further described in
Attachment A-7-3 (Transformation Solution). Finance Processing Services will
continue to use the D&B.com mailboxes and accounts as they were during
transition.

FINANCE PROCESSING SERVICES AND CONTACT CENTER SOLUTIONS

Equitant - Solution Overview

IBM will be leveraging an Order to Cash (OTC) solution provided by Equitant,
which will perform the transactional duties of the D&B Accounts Receivable (AR)
and Collections processes.

The servers will be hosted at IBM's Bangalore, India facility. The resources
needing access to these servers will use the Virtela connectivity solution
described earlier in this document. Desktops will be provided to the new users
requiring access to the Equitant solution. The Equitant applications (AR
Collect(TM), CDR(TM) (Collaborative Dispute Resolution), Executive
Dashboard(TM)) will be utilizing the three servers (Web, Intelligence, and
Database servers). Operations and support responsibilities will be divided
between IBM and Equitant personnel.

Predictive Dialer

In Phase 1, when IBM sites are implemented, the predictive dialer (PD) will be
used for Outbound Services: IBM will upload D&B's customer list to a database,
and by using predefined strategies and programming, the tool will call
pre-specified customers at designated times. The dialer will then contact these
customers and will filter out busy signals, no answers, answering machines etc.
The Agent will only be notified in the event of a successful call. Once a
successful call has been established, the Agent is presented with a pop up with
this customer details and the call is automatically put through to their
workstation.

Transfer of Calls

For warm transfers of calls to a D&B sales representative as required in Exhibit
A-1 (Contact Center Services), the IBM Personnel handling the call will have a
process of selecting specific numbers, which will then send route the call back
to the ACD and follow the normal process. The ACD will

then route the call to D&B sales. The numbers keyed in by the analyst will avoid
the customer from re-keying any information (e.g., language).

IBM's genesys and IVR voice Solution       IBM's Genesys and IVR voice solution will be implemented
                                           to replace the current D&B solution
</TABLE>


The IBM Contact Center technology (i.e. ACD, PBX, Genesys, IVRs) supporting D&B
will change in two distinct phases over the course of the contract. During
Transition, IBM will utilize the existing D&B call handling solution and
current technology. As IBM call centers come online, calls will be migrated from
the D&B centers to IBM call centers based on specific functions and timing. IBM
will install servers and support the servers as necessary receiving Genesys
routed calls. Details of this are further described in Attachment A-7-3
(Transformation Solution). During the Transition, initial call treatment will
continue to be supported in the D&B switch and IVR environment; however when
customers select options related to the D&B functions outsourced to IBM, their
calls will be routed into the IBM infrastructure via the PSTN. Once these calls
are transferred, call routing to and among the IBM contact centers will be
enabled using a combination of carrier based and premise based routing. Time of
day, day of week and business continuity routing will be enabled within the
carrier network. High level skills-based (language & issue) routing will be
enabled based on DNIS or dialed number. Best services routing will be enabled as
well. The following diagram illustrates on a high level how calls will be
rerouted from the D&B solution to IBM contact centers:

<PAGE>

                                   [GRAPHIC]

The current D&B IVR hardware and software will remain in place until
Transformation of the IVR by IBM as further described in Attachment A-7-3
(Transformation Solution). Application development and introduction of the IBM
voice Interaction application will be augmented from D&B's existing platform.
IBM will be utilizing multiple IVRs to implement the solution.

D&B currently has an unspecified amount of toll free numbers that customers use
to contact D&B. D&B will retain ownership of these numbers until Transformation.
Once the new IBM voice interaction solution is implemented as further described
in Attachment A-7-3 (Transformation Solution), the phone numbers will be
transferred to the ownership of IBM, at which point they will be redirected to
the IBM IVRs. This will be business as usual for D&B customers, with the
exception of the enhancements that IBM will utilize in the solution.

CONTACT CENTER AGENT MONITORING TOOLS

IBM will be utilizing call monitoring tools to verify the quality of calls
coming in from D&B clients. Budapest, Greenock, New Delhi, and Bangalore Contact
Center sites, will have the capability to

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                    A-6-5-18

<PAGE>

record and assess a sub-set of all calls to gain a statistically valid sample to
measure how well the calls are handled as further described in Exhibit A-1
(Contact Center Services) and Attachment A-6-1 (Contact Center Solution). The
monitoring tools will be implemented with the Europe and US IVRs such that the
calls will be routed through the monitoring device in order to record the proper
amount of calls.

The monitoring tools provided as described in Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center
Services) will include the following:

     -    Live monitor (E-Talk, Nice) lets a user listen to a call as it occurs.
          Recorder capabilities record the call and gives a user the option of
          saving or deleting the recording when the call ends.

     -    Dynamic scheduling establishes a recording schedule so that calls are
          captured at different times and days to monitor a truly representative
          sampling.

     -    Manual scheduling lets a user directly set recording schedules for
          specific users, subgroups, and groups.

     -    Record on demand function lets user record agents when a call begins.
          Live monitor lets a user listen to and record a call as it takes
          place. Record on demand recordings are automatically saved.

When a user accesses the playback function, these tools display a list of
recorded calls. This list can be tailored to meet the supervisor or agent needs.
If a user wants to listen only to calls for a specific Agent, a user can search
for the calls recorded for that Agent. The tools provide VCR-style controls for
playback.

DESKTOP SUPPORT

IBM has a standard desktop with base products such as Lotus Notes, Microsoft
products, virus detector and firewall applications. The current operating system
is Windows 2000, which could change overtime based on new standards. Updates and
new software are handled by a central process that allows for pushing or
pulling, based on need. While this is a basic standard, it can vary by country
based on need. IBM support is handled by a global support team with local
desktop support in almost all locations.

IBM Physical Security Controls

IBM locations comply with D&B's requirements in D&B's policies and procedures as
further described in Exhibit A-5 (Cross Functional Services), including physical
security and access controls.

IBM Physical Security

Standardized security measures are used at all locations to achieve consistency
in the design integrity and compatibility of all elements of the security
program with the architecture of the site.

Employee/Visitor Access Control

All IBM Personnel are issued photo identity cards. Temporary identification
cards are issued to authorized visitors. The 24x7 building security guards
monitor personnel movements and usage of identification cards. Access to each
floor is controlled through a programmable access device that can be opened only
through the use of an employee identification card. Access to floors is
centrally controlled and is granted on a need basis.

Business Continuity Planning

IBM locations where the Services are provided have a risk mitigation strategy,
which includes business continuity plans, disaster recovery plans, and physical
security of facilities and personnel at the delivery centers where we will be
providing service to D&B. Every IBM delivery center adheres to corporate wide
disaster recovery standards and policies.

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                    A-6-5-20

<PAGE>

IBM business continuity responsibilities include the following: A) resiliency in
the four main elements of the delivery of services - facilities, people,
infrastructure and processes, B) leveraging new infrastructure and transitioned
resource placement to maximize alternative location service delivery
opportunity, C) developing a BCP for actions to be taken by the IBM account and
delivery teams for D&B should there be a failure of service continuity; and D)
participation in D&B's BCP testing activities as further described in Exhibit
A-5 (Cross Functional Services).

There are two primary components to Business Continuity Planning: business
staffing/processes and the technical recovery. There are multiple scenarios
which can occur to drive the many possible solutions. During Transition, IBM and
D&B will review possible scenarios and document the appropriate corrective
action in conjunction with the IBM delivery centers, based on the center's BCP
plan. This will become the IBM D&B BCP recovery plan - which will be managed and
updated by the IBM delivery program office. Within each cluster, critical
functions and time periods will need to be identified by D&B and compared to the
IBM D&B BCP plan. Should any additional requirements be identified, they will be
jointly reviewed and gap action plans agreed.

The IBM solution design has tried to build a framework to provide BCP at a basic
level by building a technical solution which has connectivity redundancy and is
also provides connectivity to Sungard's disaster data centre. IBM and D&B, when
building the solution, looked at how to best place D&B processes and staff at
different locations to provide for diversity in the solution. Based on this
staffing, a basic level of BCP has been built in such that IBM would be able to
readily shift workloads as further described below. While these sites and
resource staffing plans have not been designed to handle complete resumption,
they would be able to handle some of the major functions by either using
existing staff at the specific site or by moving staff to the recovered site.

Key Technical BCP Features of the Solution

IBM's solution includes the following business continuity measures:

     -    Adherence to stringent IBM corporate standards on recovery, security,
          health and safety at all IBM delivery centers.

     -    Utilization of one or more of the following features to ensure a
          consistent and reliable power supply at each Contact Center used to
          provide the Services: Uninterrupted Power Source (UPS), dual power
          sources from segregated power grids, or backup diesel generators as
          described below.

     -    Backup procedures for data required to deliver services and secure
          storage of backups off site as further described in Exhibit A-5 (Cross
          Functional Services). With the exception of Equitant which is used for
          order to cash and collections, all applications are hosted by D&B. IBM
          will provide backups of the Equitant application servers and database
          at an offsite location.

     -    Documentation of all technical processes required to deliver and
          maintain services will be stored in an on-line content management
          facility accessible to all IBM team members and is backed up as part
          of the standard operating procedure.

     -    Leveraging three major methods to establish redundancy within the
          network connecting IBM to D&B: ISDN backup lines, load balancing, and
          a method that utilizes diverse circuits and routers using dynamic
          routing protocols.

     -    Utilization of a designated alternative site with connectivity to D&B
          applications so that, in the event of an emergency, agreed upon
          resources could continue to provide specific service for

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                    A-6-5-21

<PAGE>

          key processes. Greenock and Budapest are complementary alternative
          sites; both sites have the same IT and application access as the
          other. The same is true of New Delhi/Bangalore for Call Centers as
          well as Krakow/Bangalore for Finance Processing Services. In the case
          of extreme or extended outages portions of resources can be relocated
          between the facilities. With the redundant networking capability, we
          also have the ability to reroute calls from one delivery centre to the
          other

     -    If during Transformation, IBM implements new software which is hosted
          on the D&B network, then D&B would be responsible for adding this
          software to their disaster recovery plan.

     -    If during Transformation, IBM implements new software or hardware in
          the IBM environment/network, then IBM will be responsible for adding
          this new technology to IBM's D&B BCP plan.

IBM will commit to ensuring that any applications, systems or infrastructure
provided by IBM as part of the Services that is required to support the revenue
generation, revenue enabling, brand protection or D&B Customer contractual
agreement have a recovery plan that meets a forty-eight (48) hour recovery time
objective or equal recovery time objective to the level of protection D&B
retains prior to Transformation.

The following tables illustrate the business continuity capabilities along with
the associated risks of each facility:

Services Specific Business Continuity Measures

IBM Service Overview

IBM has designed the solution to provide redundancy for the Services provided.
Each site has a sister site which could be used for recovery. Each site has a
sister site which could be used for recovery (i.e. New Delhi/Banagalore,
Greenock/Budapest, and Bangalore/Krakow). There will be cross training on the
Services to make certain that IBM Personnel handling the Services at each site
will also be able to perform the Services provided out of the sister site if
required.

Delivery Center Redundancy

IBM's Data Centers all incorporate built-in alternatives for disaster recovery.
The IBM Data Centers that comprise IBM's regional Service Delivery Center
organizations are fully redundant. To provide continuous network management,
there are primary systems and back-ups. As updates are made to the network, the
primary system's database is updated and simultaneously copied to the back-up
system.

In the event of Network Operations Center (NOC) failure, network management
functions will be transferred to another Contact Center automatically. This will
allow ongoing management of the

                                    A-6-5-25

<PAGE>

network while Contact Center Support teams at the redundant location repair the
problem. The transfer of functions is a precautionary measure only, as all
equipment in the facility is run on autonomous UPS mechanism.

IBM maintains interconnected locations in New Delhi and Mumbai, additional
WAN-connected locations elsewhere in India and network redundancy in the
connectivity to other IBM global locations, which provides the ability to
readily shift work and lines of communication in the event of a disaster.

IBM maintains interconnected locations in Budapest, Milan and Greenock and
network redundancy in the connectivity to other IBM global locations, which
provides the ability to readily shift work and lines of communication in the
event of a disaster.

Similar back-up scenarios exist for Krakow within Europe and Tulsa within North
America.

In the event of a lapse in business continuity, IBM will make up lost ground on
an accelerated time frame by deploying additional resources, if required.

BCP/DR Project Management

IBM's BCP/DR Project Management team consists of Crisis Management Team
comprised of senior IBM managers at the organizational and project levels.
Throughout the Term, the team's will analyze the likely disaster possibilities,
study the likely business impact to the business, establish appropriate recovery
plans, and in the event of an emergency implement the plans.

Within the business continuity plans, IBM will also document the response plans,
containing procedures for natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes and severe
weather) and man made disasters (e.g., fire, bomb threats, civil disorder,
threats and acts of violence, disruption of site utilities and major medical
emergencies). This plan includes detailed provisions for what occurs during the
four phases of the disaster recovery process: Damage Assessment, Damage Control,
Infrastructure/ Network Restoration, and Business Process Restoration.

Travel Constraints:

The inability of offshore staff to travel to the host country because of the
closure of host country embassies, host country air space or visa restrictions
will not impact Service delivery. Steady state operations do not generally
require travel. IBM and D&B will identify and keep certain offshore subject
matter professionals "travel ready" by obtaining visas in advance. IBM's robust
offshore Operating Model identifies travel dependency as a single point of
failure (SPOF). This dependency is minimized through the use of technologies
such as instant messaging, conference calls, videoconferences and e-mail.

Labor

Critical staff providing Services to D&B are dedicated to D&B, with trained
backup available. This design principle into contingency planning. Consequently
in the event of full contingency implementation, critical staff dealing with D&B
data on a contingency basis will still be dedicated to D&B and IBM will
prioritize work requirements based on Service demands for particular processes.

<PAGE>

Geopolitical Instability and Disruption in IBM Locations:

In a worst-case scenario, if the viability of an IBM location itself is
jeopardized - either through natural disaster or political emergency, service
delivery can be moved to another location. Key provisions in IBM's emergency
migration plan include:

     -    Documentation from the initial Transition is reviewed (and updated, if
          required).

     -    Signs of potential instability (apart from natural calamities) are
          monitored at the IBM corporate level.

     -    During disaster recover operations, the offshore team moves to stable,
          unaffected delivery centers so that business continuity is not
          impacted.

     -    After the stabilization of Service in the new environment, IBM and D&B
          jointly decide the timetable to move to a permanent alternate
          location, if required.

Review and Update of Business Continuity Plans (BCP)

In the event of a major business or infrastructure change within the
organization, the BCP will be reviewed and updated as necessary.

The BCP is subject to a stringent maintenance process. Change control is
monitored by the Business Continuity Coordinator to provide consistency and
minimize the potential for conflicts.

IBM BCP Testing

IBM conducts BCP testing on a semi-annual and an ad hoc basis. As a result, IBM
effectively tests its disaster recovery plans multiple times each year. A
program of regular testing and review will be established for D&B processes. IBM
expects to mirror (within the mutually agreed budget/cost) IBM's testing
provisions with those of D&B, making testing a joint IBM/ D&B process. This
regularly testing program is designed to rigorously challenge aspects of the
business continuity plan, while random testing is used to interrogate specific
elements of the overall plan. The plan is reviewed after each and every test.

IBM TRANSITION SOLUTION FOR D&B

Working with D&B, IBM has developed plans describing the projects and associated
activities necessary to accomplish the Transition and Transformation
successfully. The Transition projects and their associated project plans are
described in and attached to this Attachment.

In this Attachment, "Transition Period" shall mean the period beginning on the
Effective Date and ending, for each of the major work streams set out in
immediately below, on the actual Service Commencement Date for that work stream.
The scheduled Service Commencement Dates are set forth in Attachment A-7-2
(Transition Schedule).

HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW OF TRANSITION

HR COMMUNICATIONS

IBM's HR Transition approach integrates customized communications for the
rebadged employees consistent with IBM's country-specific employment practices.
Through its outsourcing experience, IBM understands the types of questions that
people want answers to at each stage of the HR Transition. Accordingly, IBM's HR
Transition Plan incorporates the use of appropriate communication vehicles, such
as the intranet and email, to proactively address these anticipated questions
and provide a channel for employees to ask additional questions. Further details
are provided in the Human Resources Function Transition section of this
Attachment.

CONTRACT TRANSITION GOVERNANCE:

      implement.

-     Process Change, incidents and dispute management: Processes have been

A.    OVERVIEW

Based upon a review of a subset of D&B's operations through several site visits
and work shops, IBM believes that the greatest benefit to D&B can be driven by
increased operational efficiency and enhancement of D&B's Customers' experience.
Based upon this, IBM has developed a set of key initiatives and capabilities
that will enable Transformation of the existing D&B environment. These key
initiatives are "Business Process Improvement", "Self-Service and Routing", and
"Integrated Desktop Solution". IBM will tightly integrate these key initiatives
to drive operational efficiency within D&B, in alignment with an enhanced
customer experience for D&B's Customers which will deliver the following
benefits to D&B:

                                  D&B BENEFITS

                                  [FLOW CHART]

IBM will commence performance of the Transformation tasks described or outlined
in this Attachment A-7-3 immediately after the Effective Date. IBM will
implement such tasks throughout the first eighteen (18) months of the Term. IBM
will align the Transformation program with the Transition initiatives.

The scope of the Transformation program includes the D&B markets in-scope of the
Agreement, namely the United States, Canada, and in-scope European markets.
IBM's Transformation solution will be further defined by, and agreed between,
IBM and D&B during the "Benefits & Initiative Validation" phase. Although the
solution will vary by geography and Service area, IBM will deploy the solution
to in-scope locations in North America and Europe covering the Contact Center
agents and a subset of the Transaction Processing and Data Programming agents as
set forth in Exhibit A-

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     A-7-3-3

<PAGE>

7-1 (Transition Solution). IBM's Transformation solution will support D&B's
multi-language requirements (whether written or spoken) in the in-scope
locations. Transformation does not address Finance Processing Services.

IBM is accountable for the delivery of the Transformation program with the
cooperation and support of D&B as specified within this Attachment A-7-3. IBM
and D&B have agreed the following guiding principles which are to govern the
Transformation program and assist the Parties to prioritize the capabilities
(including Deliverables) which are to be delivered:

      -     Overall

            -     Within each of their respective areas of expertise, D&B and
                  IBM agree to work together in the spirit of open
                  communications with a common goal of delivering a quality
                  implementation of the Transformation within the project
                  timeline set out in the Gantt chart shown in Section C of this
                  Attachment A-7-3.

            -     Both Parties recognize that the scope of the Transformation
                  project is bounded by scope, cost, and time. There will not be
                  unlimited scope, funds, or time assigned by either Party to
                  implement these initiatives. IBM and D&B will jointly agree to
                  prioritize the implementation of these initiatives based on
                  principles that lead to increased productivity by IBM agents.

      -     Business Process

            -     Business process design will be standardized within the
                  project timeline set out in the Gantt chart shown in Section C
                  of this Attachment A-7-3 to the extent that it can reasonably
                  and properly be achieved by IBM with the support of D&B as
                  outlined in this Attachment A-7-3.

            -     Business process design and configuration will leverage
                  standard package functionality where applicable.

      -     Technology

            -     Existing D&B investments in technology will be leveraged to
                  the fullest extent possible.

            -     Structural integrity of package software will remain intact.

            -     Configuration will leverage standard package functionality
                  where applicable.

BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

The Business Process Improvement initiative will cover Contact Center Services,
Data Programming Services and Transaction Processing Services.

For Contact Center Services, the Business Process Improvement initiative will
address the standardization of business processes, organizational realignment,
and the consistent application of business rules. The following business areas
will be addressed: account and hierarchy management, order management, contract
management, Contact management, product management, service request management,
knowledge management, and business rules workflow and policy enforcement.

IBM will focus its effort on the implementation of standardized guidelines for
business operations and the alignment of business processes to application
functionality, such that processes address

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     A-7-3-4

<PAGE>

business operations from a global perspective; and will address the end-to-end
flow of relevant interactions. This will enable the grouping and coordination of
position responsibilities, skill sets, performance metrics, and organizational
structures, which will define the support structure of the organization and
teams. In addition, IBM will consolidate resources to a universal type of agent,
subject to geography, Service area, function considerations, to deliver cost and
operations structure benefits. By leveraging common skill sets and removing the
barriers of team silos, the new structure to be implemented by IBM will allow
for the most effective handling of work items and workforce management and
staffing. Also, the standardization of business rules, policies, and guidelines
by IBM will allow new application(s) and automated systems to complete
transactions with limited intervention of agents and/or management.

The Data Programming and Transaction Processing Service areas are also in-scope
of this initiative. IBM will drive the efficiencies obtained through the process
improvements and Integrated Desktop Solution in the Contact Center Service area
to the Customer-facing business operations associated with the Data Programming
and Transaction Processing Service areas. IBM will place additional focus on the
methods and tools utilized to manage data, automate requests, and touchpoints of
upstream and downstream processes. During the Benefits & Initiative Validation
phase, D&B will, where reasonably required by IBM, provide subject matter expert
("SME") support from the Data Programming and Transaction Processing Service
areas to assist IBM to further document the synergies between the Data
Programming and Transaction Processing Service areas and the Contact Center
Service area. This will allow IBM to evaluate the Data Programming and
Transaction Processing Service, and Contact Center Service, area operations
side-by-side to determine redundancies and inefficiencies, and provide detailed
direction for business improvements and efficiencies.

SELF-SERVICE & ROUTING

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     A-7-3-5

<PAGE>

The Self-Service & Routing initiative will cover Contact Center Services.

The Self-Service & Routing initiative will focus on the movement of Contacts
from higher cost to lower cost channels as well as the implementation of routing
enhancements for agents, with migration toward a consistent multi-channel
experience. The ability to better route, direct, and deliver Customer requests,
regardless of channel, and the ability to report, measure, and plan in this
environment, are the key drivers of this initiative. Although Self-Service &
Routing capabilities are planned to be delivered in the Initial Transformation
Deployment phase, IBM will determine, with D&B's agreement, during the Benefits
& Initiative Validation initiative, which benefits may be able to be achieved
earlier, in alignment with the Transition activities.

Routing - the current grouping and queuing structure will be analyzed by IBM,
then consolidated and reallocated by IBM to maximize the distribution of
Contacts across IBM's global delivery centers. This queuing structure will take
into account the growing requirement for multi-channel availability (primarily
email in areas like Usage and Billing). In addition, based on the designed labor
groups and responsibilities, IBM will enable enhanced routing and predictive
modeling capabilities.

Web-based self-service - IBM will analyze the types of self-service transactions
currently enabled by D&B as well as potential transactions that could achieve
benefit through web service enablement. This analysis will determine which
specific transactions should be effectively addressed utilizing self-service
applications in the target environment. IBM will also conduct a user interface
and usability review of the current functionality of the D&B.com website (as it
pertains to the in-scope Service areas).

IBM will implement the consistent application of business rules in order to
support an environment of higher quality Customer interaction by providing the
link between the automated processes and the live agent processes, allowing the
agents to focus their attention on quality and relationship building. This
approach will provide D&B Customers with a consistent user experience across
channels, and the functionality will be leveraged by the web, IVR, desktop and
knowledge management solutions.

INTEGRATED DESKTOP SOLUTION

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     A-7-3-6

<PAGE>

The Integrated Desktop Solution initiative will cover Contact Center Services,
Data Programming Services and Transaction Processing Services.

The Integrated Desktop Solution will involve IBM's deployment of an integrated
desktop application in conjunction with the implementation by IBM of
standardized business processes and organizational realignment.

Consolidating agent desktop functions to an integrated desktop solution will
provide agents, management, and external D&B Customers with access to data in a
consistent and intuitive manner, which is critical to realizing Transformational
benefits of reduced training time, increased accuracy, consolidation of labor
divisions, and management of the Services. In addition to the implementation of
core desktop application functionality, IBM will leverage inherent workflows and
standardized packaged functionality to streamline the processing of the work.

IBM will integrate the desktop application to key legacy applications necessary
to perform agent functions. IBM shall make the desktop application as
standardized and upgradeable / maintainable as possible and, in doing so, shall
use over eighty percent (80%) standard packaged functionality and less than
twenty percent (20%) customization to support the in-scope business operational
processes. IBM's Transformation solution will reflect the inherent application
functionality of the integrated desktop software package to the maximum extent
possible.

In alignment with the business processes being developed by IBM, IBM will deploy
a knowledge management ("KM") system, which will contain and allow access to
correct and current information for agents and D&B's Customers and, when
presented via the web or IVR, will allow agents or D&B's Customers to increase
their level of self-service and pre-sales self-education. The KM system shall
integrate with or consolidate existing in-scope KM tools and shall have several
key capabilities such as natural language queries, artificial intelligence (AI)
learning and neural networking, speech interaction interface, and internal and
external informational data structures. The knowledge management platform will
be consistent across Inbound and Outbound Contact agents.

IBM will implement data management and cleansing tools to address commonly
occurring data quality issues that can be readily resolved through automation in
the Transformation solution within the project timeline. The data management
tools shall specifically address the standardization of data and data quality
between systems as well as provide real-time filters, data rules, and
application parameters, where necessary, to enhance and support the agent's and
Customer's entry and update of data within the systems.

In addition to the above, with respect to the Data Programming and Transaction
Processing Service areas, the functionality of the integrated desktop
application deployed by IBM in the areas of business rules, data manipulation,
translation, cleansing and standardization will be used to drive accurate and
pre-validated information prior to the upload of data into the legacy systems.
This updated information will be accessed by IBM's customer service team, which
will provide a consistent channel for requests. The ability to provide D&B's
Customers with pertinent information to the desktop of those Supplier Personnel
supporting the Customer facing applications will reduce the number of people
requesting information, reduce the number of Customer Contact requests made of
IBM's customer service team, and provide readily available information to the
agents for delivery to D&B's Customers.

B.    TRANSFORMATION APPROACH

During each phase of the Transformation program, the Parties shall agree the
Deliverables to be provided by IBM, and the specific roles and responsibilities
of D&B in connection with such Deliverables. Acceptance criteria for each
Deliverable shall be agreed between the Parties in accordance with the process
set out in Section E of this Attachment A-7-3. The following key activities
shall be conducted within each workstream throughout the Transformation program:

BENEFITS & INITIATIVE VALIDATION

The Benefits & Initiative Validation phase encompasses a review by IBM of
operations and business objectives and validation of key business capabilities
required to achieve D&B business benefits projected by IBM. Upon completion of
this phase, IBM will define, for agreement with D&B, specific key capabilities
to be implemented by IBM within these initiatives, as well as specific delivery
timelines for agreed Deliverables.

The functional and technical Transformation scope will be clearly defined in the
"Target State Environment Definition", and an "Integrated Project Plan" will
outline the delivery timeline and key milestones within and across each
Transformation initiative for the duration of the Transformation program. The
initiatives will be planned such that benefits are achieved as early as possible
and the benefits model will be refined accordingly. IBM will develop the
definition and plan for approval by D&B.

During this period, a Transformation project management office ("PMO") will be
established and a specific Transformation governance structure shall be
implemented. The Transformation and Transition teams will be aligned in the
delivery of the initiatives, with strong communications and milestones managed
at the PMO level.

The planned usage of each D&B or IBM component of the Transformation solution
will be confirmed upon the completion of the Benefits & Initiative Validation
phase. Subject to agreement with D&B, the final elements of the Transformation
solution may impact the planned development cycle of D&B's internal development
group.

Key Dependencies

IBM has dependencies on D&B in the following areas for the Benefits & Initiative
Validation phase:

-     D&B IT will provide a list of source systems of record for consideration
      of specific technology in the target solution.

-     D&B will provide, where available, soft and hard copies of all interface
      definition, data definition, data standard, and integration standard
      documentation which should be adhered to during the Analysis, Design and
      Development of the new technologies.

-     D&B will provide, where available, an Enterprise Standard Metadata
      Dictionary for all legacy data elements.

-     D&B will provide, where available, complete user documentation of its
      legacy systems to the Transformation development team.

PROCESS DESIGN, CHANGE MANAGEMENT, AND BENEFITS REALIZATION

Process Design

During the Benefits & Initiative Validation phase, IBM will coordinate site
visits with D&B in alignment

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     A-7-3-8

<PAGE>

with IBM's Transition activities to gain a complete understanding existing D&B
business processes in order to develop a target state operating environment.
Based upon this analysis, IBM will lead the high level definition of target
state business processes. IBM and D&B will work jointly in facilitated sessions
to develop a standardized global business process achievable within the project
timeline. Local variances will be accounted for in policy implementation. IBM
and D&B will develop performance metrics for its agents, and tracking at the
appropriate level. Process team members will be actively involved throughout the
lifecycle in validation that the systems developed meet D&B's business
requirements.

In the Design phase, business process design will be detailed in alignment with
technology design. Process design will be detailed to a key activity level.
Beyond the key activity level, IBM will develop and document work instructions
for training and operational purposes.

Transformation Change Management

IBM shall develop a Transformation change management plan, for approval by D&B,
which shall outline Transformation change management activities and approaches
that will be performed to manage stakeholder expectations as well as market and
audience communications during the implementation of Transformation to
facilitate the organization's buy-in and adoption of change.

During the Benefits & Initiative Validation phase, IBM will develop a Benefits
Realization model to assess and determine key capabilities, subject to D&B's
approval, to be implemented within the Transformation program to achieve D&B's
business benefits projected by IBM. During the Design and later phases, a model
will be developed to track the benefits achieved over time.

SELF-SERVICE AND ROUTING

In alignment with the envisioned business process definition and the benefits
realization model, IBM shall develop and implement technology enhancements in
self-service and routing.

During the Benefits and Initiative Validation phase, IBM, with the assistance of
D&B, will conduct current state analysis of existing routing information,
business rules and skills assignments to determine the areas of greatest impact
and need for the restructuring of the Contact routing architecture. In addition,
IBM will conduct the target state analysis and mapping of the resource skills to
the new architecture. IBM will evaluate the availability of self-service
functionality, its channel appropriateness, and value to D&B's Customer base.
IBM and D&B will then jointly define and agree a set of key capabilities which
will detail the functionality and timelines for implementation of the enhanced
functionality and Deliverables. During the Design phase, IBM and D&B will
jointly define and agree the target routing environment as well as the web-based
self-service solution.

INTEGRATED DESKTOP SOLUTION

                                     A-7-3-9

<PAGE>

During the Benefits & Initiative Validation phase, upon completion of IBM site
visits to gain a complete understanding of existing D&B business process, IBM
will define a high level application architecture describing key capabilities to
be delivered in the Initial and Final Transformation solutions. During the
Design phase, the configuration required to meet D&B's business requirements
will be further developed by IBM in working sessions with D&B. During the "Build
and Unit Test" phase, IBM will configure and unit test the Integrated Desktop
Application, working with D&B (as described in the paragraphs headed "System
Integration" and "Data Conversion" immediately below this paragraph), to
accomplish system integration and data conversion tasks.

IBM shall evaluate D&B Contact management applications relevant to the Services
in-scope of the Transformation program. The Parties shall then discuss and agree
which systems will be combined into a single integrated system. The level,
extent, and complexity of synchronization will be determined by IBM and D&B
during the Benefits & Initiative Validation phase. For any critical
functionality or data model requirements jointly defined and agreed by IBM and
D&B to meet Transformation objectives, D&B will implement the requisite changes
in the CRM system. The existing Siebel CRM release used by D&B will need to be
upgraded to Siebel 7.5 or above in alignment with the version and timeline
determined by Transformation. This upgrade will be at D&B's cost.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

The System Integration initiative will commence with a review by IBM and D&B of
D&B's current systems inventory for the functions within scope, including legacy
desktop applications as well as web-based Customer self-service applications. In
the Target State Environment Definition, IBM and D&B will identify those systems
to which the Integrated Desktop Solution will link to, be integrated with, or
replace. Additional software applications not required as part of the Integrated
Desktop Solution, as mutually agreed by the Parties, will be sized and costed,
and the level of responsibility determined and agreed by the Parties as a Change
Order. In the Design phase, IBM and D&B will jointly define a common interface
specification for system integration. During the Build and Unit Test phase, D&B
legacy application representatives will be responsible for developing export and
import routines according to the defined specification. IBM will design and
develop the Siebel-side import into and export routines for the Integrated
Desktop Application. IBM will unit test the Siebel-side interfaces, and D&B will
unit test legacy side interfaces.

DATA CONVERSION

The Data Conversion initiative will commence with a review by IBM and D&B of
D&B's current systems inventory as potential data conversion sources, including
legacy desktop applications and web-based Customer self-service applications.
IBM will identify those data entities which the Integrated Desktop Solution,
IVR, or web self-service applications will require for data conversion or data
setup, and D&B will identify the corresponding data sources within their legacy
file structure. Upon the completion of the Benefits & Initiative Validation
initiative, source systems and/or files will be identified for data conversion
to the Transformation solution. The specific data and amount of history to be
converted will be determined by IBM during the Design phase.

Also in the Design phase, IBM and D&B will jointly define a common interface
specification for data conversion. D&B legacy application representatives will
be responsible for designing data export routines according to the
specification. IBM will design the Siebel-side import routines into the
Integrated Desktop Application as well as the web self-service application.
During the Build and Unit Test phase, D&B will develop data conversion programs
to produce the legacy side extracts, and IBM will develop and unit test
Siebel-side conversion processes. In deployment planning, IBM will

<PAGE>

provide End User documentation or checklists to support conversion processes
where applicable. IBM will enable initial desktop application functionality
through data conversion or data setup. IBM will be responsible for managing data
conversion into the production environment with the assistance of IBM
Operations, and the involvement of D&B for final validation.

ARCHITECTURE

During the Benefits & Initiative Validation phase, IBM will focus on achieving
an understanding from D&B of the existing application and technical
architecture, such as applications, standards, procedures, and conventions, as
well as an assessment of IT architecture reusability. IBM will assess the
architecture and, in alignment with an understanding of the business
requirements, define the envisioned application architecture at a high level,
for approval by D&B.

During the Design phase, IBM will work with D&B to define the technical
architecture of the target state Transformation environment (Target State
Environment Definition). IBM will align with the D&B architects on interface
specifications and data interchange (payload) formats and will adhere to
mutually agreed and applicable D&B application standards. IBM will be
responsible for the design and development of the infrastructure to support the
new technologies defined in the Target State Environment Definition. IBM
Operations will be responsible for the implementation of the network
architecture required to obtain the Target State Environment Definition. IBM
Transformation will act in a support role in this area, and will provide the
necessary information through capacity planning and management of performance
testing activities. IBM Transformation and IBM Operations will then work
together to provide a smooth deployment of the Target State Environment
Definition infrastructure at IBM's in-scope global delivery centers as
applicable.

SYSTEM, INTEGRATION, AND PERFORMANCE TESTING

IBM will develop a test strategy to address each of the systems involved in the
Transformation effort. D&B and IBM will then determine the test cases necessary
to develop testing for system, integration, and performance testing within the
scope of their respective roles and responsibilities.

During the "Testing" phase, D&B will be responsible for the system, integration,
and performance testing of legacy systems to validate correct processing of
extract files. IBM will be responsible for the system, integration, and
performance testing of the Transformation application-side interfaces as well as
the configured functionality of the integrated desktop application. Where
performance issues arise, IBM and D&B will jointly work to determine the root
causes and address these issues, within the scope of their roles and
responsibilities, through tuning or other efforts.

TRAINING

IBM will develop a training strategy, training curriculum, and paper-based
training materials that reflect Transformation business process and
technologies. IBM will also conduct "train-the-trainer" training for management
and training teams in the IBM global delivery centers. Operations personnel
identified in the delivery centers will be responsible for conducting End-User
application training. In the "Training Delivery" phase, the IBM Operations team
will be responsible for the management of Training Delivery logistics. Training
materials will be developed by IBM in the required languages (defined by IBM,
and approved by IBM) during the Benefits & Initiative Validation phase. D&B is
responsible for providing End User training environments for its legacy
applications.

UAT AND DEPLOYMENT PLANNING

User Acceptance Testing ("UAT") will be conducted to validate that process and
system functionality support D&B's business requirements as jointly defined by
the Parties in the Benefits & Initiative Validation and Design phases. IBM will
assist D&B in the development of user acceptance test criteria and scenarios for
test execution. IBM will manage the UAT process and D&B will test uploads and
data transfers as required, validate proper execution of systems rules, and
validate

data accuracy as it relates to business policies and business rules. In planning
for deployment, the IBM deployment manager will work with the Transformation
team and IBM global delivery centers to define a deployment approach.

POST IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT

Upon deployment of the target Transformation solution, IBM shall provide three
(3) months' post implementation support upon `go-live' of the final
Transformation environment to IBM Operations. IBM's implementation consultants
will work in conjunction with the IBM Operations team to provide for a smooth
transition to the target state environment.

SOLUTION DESCRIPTION

The envisioned solution that supports the benefits achieved through
Transformation is defined by Self-Service and Routing enhancements and the
implementation of an Integrated Desktop Solution. The solution will provide a
single point of entry to D&B-owned legacy applications using commercially
available industry standard applications.

The drivers of this application architecture are:

      -     Flexibility to support existing and future business requirements
            through the use of package software that can be enabled through
            configuration vs. customization;

      -     Component-based architecture to decrease interdependencies and allow
            replacement of legacy systems over time; and

      -     Support for consistent and standardized global processes, allowing
            for application of local policies.

Features of this solution are:

      -     The multi-media Contacts from the web (including chat and web
            callback), IVR, email, and telephony will be channeled through the
            same media interaction server and delivered as work items to the
            agent's integrated desktop;

      -     The desktop will be integrated to the legacy systems through the
            business logic and middleware (Websphere) application, which will
            allow the presentation of necessary data within the same
            application;

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                    A-7-3-15

<PAGE>

      -     The Websphere application and middleware will provide real-time
            access, where applicable, to the necessary systems while the agent
            or Customer is in the transaction;

      -     Information is updated to the Integrated Desktop Solution, D&B CRM
            application, legacy applications, and data storage centers as
            needed, allowing for reporting, monitoring, and dynamic tracking;
            and

      -     The desktop will provide a holistic view of case or Contact
            management operations.

IBM will be responsible for the selection of technology components in the
application architecture, which will be managed in the IBM global delivery
centers. These components are:

      -     Siebel version 7.5 or above for desktop application

      -     Citrix for terminal emulation of applications, as required

      -     Internet Explorer v 6.x or greater

      -     Websphere for integration, business rule management, and web
            services

      -     Genesys for multi-channel contact routing, CTI and reporting

      -     IBM testing tool recommendation

      -     IBM tax tool recommendation

      -     IBM reporting tool recommendation

      -     IBM data management tool recommendation

      -     IBM knowledge management recommendation

      -     Lotus Notes

      -     Efax

      -     Etalk

      -     IEX Totalview or TCS workforce management application

The Transformation architecture will be supported by the in-scope IBM global
delivery centers and the existing D&B data centers which house legacy
applications. Although the architectures will remain separate, transaction
access will be seamless to the End User.

The overall Transformation solution will be delivered in two (2) phases; these
phases are described below:

-     Initial Transformation Deployment; and

-     Final Transformation Deployment.

INITIAL TRANSFORMATION DEPLOYMENT

SCOPE

The Initial Transformation Deployment will be focused on the Contact Center
Service area and will address the people, process, and technology dimensions of
Transformation, in line with the project timeline set forth in the Gantt chart
shown in Section C of this Attachment A-7-3, in the following ways:

PEOPLE

IBM will implement an organizational and operational structure to coincide with
the Initial Transformation Deployment. This foundational alignment is critical
to the successful delivery of the target state vision of the new organizational
group.

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                    A-7-3-17

<PAGE>

PROCESS

IBM will deploy a target state business process in this phase and shall
implement the accompanying IVR and self-service technology enhancements. The
processes will be standardized to the extent achievable within the project
timeline set out in the Gantt chart shown in Section C of this Attachment A-7-3,
and IBM will apply business rules consistently so as to enforce a consistent
channel experience with the desktop upon the deployment of the Final
Transformation solution.

TECHNOLOGY

IBM will deploy the IVR and Web technology enhancements in alignment with the
business process improvements and consistent business rule application. Specific
languages and their use in each applicable technology will be defined by IBM in
the Benefits & Initiative Validation phase, and approved by D&B.

SOLUTION

Based upon benefits projected for each set of capabilities, IBM and D&B will
jointly determine scope for the Initial Transformation deployment. IBM will
provide at least the in-scope capabilities that exist in D&B's current
environment as of the Effective Date, unless those capabilities are not
applicable to the Transformation environment (for Contact Center, Transaction
Processing, and Data Programming).

The following capabilities will be evaluated by IBM and D&B during the Benefits
& Initiative Validation phase:

FINAL TRANSFORMATION DEPLOYMENT SCOPE

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                   A-7-3-21

<PAGE>

The Final Transformation Deployment is focused on the Contact Center, Data
Programming, and Transaction Processing Service areas and will address the
people, process, and technology dimensions of Transformation, in accordance with
the project timeline set out in the Gantt chart shown in Section C of this
Attachment A-7-3, in the following ways:

PEOPLE

IBM will implement an organizational and operational structure to align with the
Initial Transformation Deployment. This foundational alignment is critical to
the successful delivery of the proposed target state vision of the new
organizational group.

PROCESS

IBM will deploy a target state business process in this phase and implement the
accompanying integrated desktop technology. The processes will be standardized
to the extent possible within the project timeline set out in the Gantt chart
shown in Section C of this Attachment A-7-3. IBM will apply consistent business
rules to enforce a consistent channel experience for D&B's Customers. The
business areas impacted by, and the specific D&B business processes to be
addressed by, the integrated desktop application, are account and hierarchy
management, order management, contract management, Contact management, product
management, service request management, knowledge management, and business rules
workflow and policy enforcement.

TECHNOLOGY

The Integrated Desktop Solution will be deployed by IBM in this phase. This will
include an Desktop application integrated to those legacy systems agreed between
IBM and D&B during the Benefits & Initiative Validation phase, a new
knowledgebase application, and applicable telephony components. The solution
will vary by geography.

The Transformation solution will support D&B's Customers in specified languages
and countries in scope. Although the base language for the Transformation
systems is English, localization will be implemented in up to six (6) languages
in the IVR, web applications (where required for Customer interaction), and
scripting in the Integrated Desktop Solution. Specific languages and their use
in each applicable technology will be defined by IBM and approved by D&B in the
Benefits & Initiative Validation phase.

Reporting will be addressed within the Transformation applications. Additional
analytical tools will not be implemented as part of the Transformation program.

SOLUTION

Based upon benefits projected for each set of capabilities, IBM and D&B will
jointly determine the scope of the Final Transformation deployment. IBM will
provide at least the in-scope capabilities that exist in D&B's current
environment as of the Effective Date, unless those capabilities are not
applicable to the Transformation environment (for Contact Center, Transaction
Processing, and Data Programming Service areas).

The following capabilities will be evaluated by IBM and D&B during the Benefits
& Initiative Validation phase:

                                   SCHEDULE B
                                 SERVICE LEVELS

1.    INTRODUCTION

      This Schedule B sets forth certain quantitative Service Levels and
Critical Service Levels against which IBM's performance of the Services will be
measured. IBM shall perform the Services at or above the levels of performance
indicated in this Schedule B. This Schedule also describes the methodology for
calculating Service Level Credits that IBM will provide to D&B if IBM fails to
meet or exceed any Critical Service Level and such failure is not excused.

2.    DEFINITIONS

      2.1   CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

            (a) "Business Day" shall mean Monday through Friday from 08:00 to
18:00, Local Market Time, excluding public holidays recognized by D&B in each
local market.

            (b) "Critical Service Level" shall mean those Service Levels set
forth in this Schedule B that are designated by D&B as "Critical Service
Levels". The Critical Service Levels are listed in Exhibit B-5 (Critical Service
Levels).

            (c) "Local Market Time" shall mean the time in the local market
where D&B or D&B Affiliates are receiving Services.

            (d) "Measurement Period" shall mean, for a Service Level, the period
during which IBM shall measure and report on performance against the Service
Level.

            (e) "Monthly Performance Report" shall mean a report to be delivered
monthly by IBM to D&B assessing and reporting on IBM's performance of the
Services as against the Service Levels.

            (f) "Service Level Credit" shall mean a monetary credit payable by
IBM to D&B pursuant to this Schedule B on account of an unexcused failure to
meet a Critical Service Level.

            (g) "Service Level Default" shall mean any failure of IBM to meet a
Service Level or to timely monitor, measure and report its performance against a
Service Level unless such failure is excused pursuant to Section 3.5.

                                     B - 1

<PAGE>

      2.2   OTHER TERMS.

            Other terms used in this Schedule B are either defined in the
context in which they are used or are defined elsewhere in the Agreement, and in
each case shall have the meanings there indicated.

3.    SERVICE LEVEL METHODOLOGY

      3.1   MEASUREMENT TOOLS.

            (a) IBM shall measure its performance against each Service Level
using the measurement tools and methodologies identified for such Service Level
in Exhibits B-1 through B-4, or such other means as are mutually agreed upon by
the Parties. IBM shall have operational, administrative, maintenance, and
financial responsibility for all tools required to measure IBM's performance
against the Service Levels.

            (b) IBM shall provide D&B, where reasonably available, with on-line,
read-only access to the monitoring and performance management data and tools
used by IBM to monitor the Services and measure performance against the Service
Levels. At a minimum, D&B will continue to have online access to any performance
monitoring data to which D&B had online access in the period preceding the
Effective Date.

            (c) Unless expressly stated otherwise in Exhibits B-1 through B-3,
if a tool or process does not exist as of the Effective Date to measure all
elements of a Contact Center, Data Programming, or Transaction Processing
Service Level, then:

                  (i) The elements of the Service Level that cannot be measured
shall be excluded from the Interim Service Level measurement unless the Parties
identify an appropriate measurement tool or process to measure such elements
during Transition using the Change Management Process described in Section 13.4
of the Agreement; and

                  (ii) IBM shall develop and implement an appropriate
measurement tool or process required to measure all elements of the Service
Level prior to the date the Steady State Service Level becomes effective.

      3.2   MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING.

            (a) Except as otherwise specified in Exhibits B-1 through B-4, the
Measurement Period for each Service Level shall be a calendar month.

            (b) IBM shall provide to D&B by the 10th day of the month
immediately following the relevant Measurement Period a Monthly Performance
Report for each Country Location (in an agreed format) with respect to which
IBM's performance can be determined in an automated fashion. In the case of
Service Levels for which an assessment of IBM's performance requires manual
measurement calculations, IBM shall provide D&B an addendum to the Monthly
Performance Report by the 15th day of the month immediately following the
relevant Measurement Period.

                                     B - 2

<PAGE>

The Monthly Performance Reports shall include notification to D&B of any Service
Level Defaults during the month, including an analysis of the root causes of
such defaults, the extent to which the same Service Level Default has occurred
on previous occasions, associated trend analyses and a description of remedial
and/or preventative steps taken or planned to be taken by IBM.

            (c) Upon D&B's request, IBM shall provide, and D&B shall have access
to, Service Level data as requested by D&B to verify the accuracy of IBM's
Monthly Performance Reports, in machine-readable form suitable for use on a
personal computer where practicable without material additional expense.

            (d) The Service Level reports, and any supporting data and
information, shall be D&B Confidential Information.

            (e) Except as otherwise stated, all references to time refer to
Local Market Time, all references to days refer to calendar days, and all
references to months refer to calendar months.

      3.3   FAILURE TO MEET SERVICE LEVELS.

            If IBM fails to meet a Service Level, IBM shall promptly (taking
into consideration the severity of the failure):

            (a) investigate, assemble and preserve pertinent information with
respect to, and report on the causes of, the problem, including performing a
root cause analysis of the problem;

            (b) Provide copies of the root cause analysis and all related
documentation of the problem to D&B, upon request;

            (c) Advise D&B, as and to the extent requested by D&B, of the status
of remedial efforts being undertaken with respect to such problem;

            (d) Minimize the impact of and correct the problem and begin meeting
the Service Level; and

            (e) Take appropriate preventive measures so that the problem does
not recur.

      3.4   IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

            Without limiting IBM's other obligations under this Schedule B, if
IBM fails to meet any Service Level two or more months in any rolling six month
period, IBM shall provide D&B a detailed plan for improving IBM's performance
with respect to such Service Level within the first ten (10) Business Days
following the second failure. The plan shall be in writing and include detailed
descriptions of any required staffing adjustments, process improvements, and
enhancements to IBM technology and other resources used to provide the Services.
Once the plan is approved by D&B, IBM shall (a) provide the necessary resources
and promptly implement the plan and (b) report upon its progress in implementing
the plan to D&B on a weekly basis or more frequently if requested.

                                     B - 3

<PAGE>

      3.5   EXCUSED SERVICE LEVEL FAILURES.

            If IBM fails to meet a Service Level and establishes that:

            (a) D&B's failure or that of a D&B third party contractor or
subcontractor, to perform one or more of its express responsibilities under the
Agreement was the root cause of IBM's failure to meet such Service Level, and
IBM used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform and achieve the Service
Level notwithstanding the presence and impact of such D&B failure; or

            (b) Such failure was excused pursuant to Section 22.5 of the
Agreement (Force Majeure);

then such failure shall not constitute a Service Level Default, and IBM shall
otherwise be excused from achieving such Service Level for as long as D&B fails
to perform such retained responsibility or the Force Majeure Event persists and
IBM continues to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prevent, overcome, or
mitigate the adverse effects of such failure. IBM shall not be excused from a
failure to achieve a Service Level other than under this Section 3.5.

      3.6   MULTIPLE SERVICE LEVEL CONDITIONS.

            Where a Service Level includes multiple conditions or components
(e.g., components (a), (b), (c)), satisfaction of each and every condition or
component (i.e., components (a), (b) and (c)) is necessary to meet the
corresponding Service Level.

      3.7   COUNTING BUSINESS DAYS.

            Service Levels that are stated as a number of Business Days shall be
measured as follows except as otherwise provided in Exhibits B-1 through B-4:

            (a) For requests, inputs, or other data received before 3:00 p.m. on
a Business Day, "1 Business Day" shall mean by the end of the same Business Day.

            (b) For requests, inputs, or other data received after 3:00 p.m. on
a Business Day, "1 Business Day" shall mean by the end of the next Business Day.

      3.8   SAMPLE GROUPS.

            Where expressly stated in Exhibits B-1 through B-4, IBM's
performance against the Service Levels will be measured using a Sample Group.
The "Sample Group" shall be a statistically significant sample, with a 95%
confidence level and 4% confidence interval.

      3.9   GLOBAL SERVICE EXCELLENCE.

            (a) In addition to meeting the Service Levels, IBM shall use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide the Services at a consistent level of
performance across all Country Locations. This includes providing Services for
smaller countries with the same accuracy, quality, and timeliness that Services
are

                                     B - 4

<PAGE>

provided in larger countries such as the U.S., regardless of whether such
consistency is required to meet the Service Levels.

            (b) Many of the Service Levels measure IBM's aggregate performance
across multiple Country Locations (rather than on a country-by-country basis).
In addition to measuring and reporting on IBM's performance against such Service
Levels, IBM shall measure and report separately on its performance in each
Country Location (e.g., if a Service Level measures response time in Europe, IBM
shall measure its performance against that Service Level, and also measure
response time for each Country Location in Europe). The more granular
country-by-country measurements shall not be considered additional "Service
Levels", but rather shall be used for information purposes to track IBM
performance of the Services in each Country Location and to assess whether IBM
is meeting its obligation to provide consistent Service to all such locations
under Section 3.9(a) above.

4.    SERVICE LEVEL CREDIT METHODOLOGY

      4.1   DESIGNATION OF CRITICAL SERVICE LEVELS.

            As of the Effective Date, the Critical Service Levels are identified
as such in Exhibit B-5 (Critical Service Levels). D&B shall have the right from
time to time to change, in its sole discretion, the designation of any Service
Level to a Critical Service Level, or to change the designation of any Critical
Service Level to a non-Critical Service Level, no more frequently than
quarterly, and upon ninety (90) days' written notice to IBM. For any Service
Level changed to a Critical Service Level, D&B may in its discretion designate
the applicable Critical Service Level Percentage, subject to the limitation
described in Section 4.2(b)(i).

      4.4   NOTIFICATION AND PAYMENT OF SERVICE LEVEL CREDITS.

            (a) IBM shall identify each Critical Service Level Default occurring
in a month in the Monthly Performance Report issued during the following month.

            (b) For each Service Level Credit that D&B elects to receive
pursuant to this Schedule B, IBM shall provide such credit to D&B on the invoice
for the calendar month immediately following D&B's election. If there will be no
further invoice, IBM will pay the amount of the Service Level Credit to D&B
within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the last invoice.

5.    ADDITIONS AND MODIFICATIONS TO SERVICE LEVELS

      5.1   GENERAL.

            In response to changes in D&B's business needs, or to reflect
changes in or evolution of the Services, the Parties shall add, delete or change
Service Levels during the Term in order to ensure that the Service Levels
provide a fair, accurate and consistent measurement of the full range of IBM's
performance of the Services throughout the Term.

      5.2   NEW SERVICE LEVELS.

            (a) New Service Levels may be implemented after both Parties have
agreed to the means by which the Service Levels are to be measured and the tools
that will be used for such measurement.

            (b) Promptly after the Parties have agreed on the measurement
methodology, IBM will measure current performance relative to the new Service
Level for six (6) months (i.e., IBM will develop six (6) monthly measures for
the Service Level).

            (c) After the six monthly measurements have been obtained, the new
Service Level will be set to the average of the six (6) measurements, provided
that in no event will the new Service Level be less than IBM's standard service
level (if any) for the same Service.

            (d) IBM agrees to use all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to begin
the six (6) month measurement period as promptly as possible following
identification of the new Service Level. IBM further agrees to use all
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the highest possible Service Levels
during the measurement period.

            (e) For new Service Levels that apply to Services in existence as of
the Commencement Date, IBM shall not reduce the level of resources dedicated to
performing such Services during the measurement period described in this Section
5.2.

      5.3   AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SERVICE LEVELS.

            At the commencement of each Contract Year beginning with the second
Contract Year, each Service Level (other than those that have been excepted from
the automatic reset requirements by mutual agreement of the Parties, as
indicated in Exhibits B-1 through B-4) will be reset to the better of: (a) the
average of the monthly measurements for such Service Level for the six (6)
months of the previous twelve (12) months that reflect the best performance for
such twelve (12) month period, and (b)(i) for Service Levels expressed in terms
of "at least xx%," the existing Service Level plus seven percent (7%) of the
difference between the Service Level and one hundred percent (100%), or (ii) for
Service Levels expressed in terms of "less than xx%" or in terms of speed or
elapsed time, the existing Service Level minus seven percent (7%) of the
difference between the Service Level and zero (0). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Service Level will be changed by more than ten percent (10%) of
the difference between the existing Service Level and one hundred percent (100%)
or zero (0), whichever is applicable as provided above, unless the Parties
specifically agree to waive the ten percent (10%) limitation. For the avoidance
of doubt, in no event shall the foregoing automatic adjustment result in a
worsening of a Service Level from D&B's perspective.

6.    SERVICE LEVEL CODES

      Each of the Service Levels in Exhibit B-1 (Contact Center Service Levels),
Exhibit B-2 (Data Programming Service Levels), and Exhibit B-3 (Transaction

                                     B - 7

<PAGE>

Processing Service Levels) has been designated with a letter code in the
applicable "Code" column. This Section 6 describes the terms and conditions that
shall apply to each such letter code.

      6.1   CODE "A" SERVICE LEVELS

            The following shall apply to each Service Level with a Code "A"
designation:

            (a) The Service Level shall be effective beginning on the applicable
Service Commencement Date of the Services, or portion of the Services, covered
by such Service Level; and

            (b) For the Contact Center Service Levels in Exhibit B-1 only, for
the first 90 days following the Service Commencement Date, no Service Level
Credit will be assessed against IBM for missing the Service Level in a month,
unless IBM's performance falls below eighty-five percent (85%) of the Service
Level in that month.

      6.2   CODE "B" SERVICE LEVELS

            The following shall apply to each Service Level with a Code "B"
designation:

            (a) The Interim Service Level shall be effective beginning on the
applicable Service Commencement Date of the Services, or portion of the
Services, covered by such Service Level;

            (b) The Steady State Service Level shall be effective (and replace
the Interim Service Level) after the following time periods:

                  (i) For Services primarily performed by IBM Personnel
transitioned from D&B to IBM on the Effective Date (i.e., re-badged employees),
the Steady State Service Level shall be effective 180 days after such Services
are migrated to the steady state IBM location described in Exhibit A-6 (IBM
Solutions).

                  (ii) For Services primarily performed by IBM Personnel that
were not transitioned to IBM on the Effective Date, the Steady State Service
Level shall be effective 180 days following the Service Commencement Date; and

            (c) For the Contact Center Service Levels in Exhibit B-1 only, for
the first 90 days following the Service Commencement Date, no Service Level
Credit will be assessed against IBM for missing the Interim Service Level in a
month, unless IBM's performance falls below 85% of the Interim Service Level in
that month. This waiver of Service Level Credits shall not apply to the Inquiry
Screening Service Level in Section 4 of Exhibit B-1.

      6.3   CODE "C" SERVICE LEVELS

            The following shall apply to each Service Level with a Code "C"
designation:

                                     B - 8

<PAGE>

            (a) If an Interim Service Level is specified in Exhibits B-1 through
B-4, then:

                  (i) The Interim Service Level shall be effective on the
applicable Service Commencement Date of the Services, or portion of the
Services, covered by such Service Level; and

                  (ii) For the Contact Center Service Levels in Exhibit B-1
only, for the first 90 days following the Service Commencement Date, no Service
Level Credit will be assessed against IBM for missing the Interim Service Level
in a month, unless IBM's performance falls below 85% of the Interim Service
Level in that month.

            (b) Unless expressly stated otherwise for the Service Level, during
the first 90 days following the Service Commencement Date, IBM shall develop and
implement measurement tools and processes required to measure the Steady State
Service Level, including any specific measurement tool or process specified for
such Service Level in this Schedule B;

            (c) During the second 90 day period immediately following the
Service Commencement Date ("Benchmarking Period"), IBM will benchmark
performance against the Steady State Service Level using the new measurement
tools and processes;

            (d) Immediately following the Benchmarking Period, a Steady State
Service Level will be established equal to the average performance demonstrated
by the benchmarked data collected during the last two (2) months of the
Benchmarking Period, provided that (1) the Steady State Service Level may not be
lower than the Interim Service Level (if one is specified) and (2) if the
benchmarked data demonstrates performance that is unsatisfactory to D&B, IBM
will develop a plan to improve performance and the Parties will meet to
establish a mutually agreeable Steady State Service Level. IBM shall use all
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the highest possible Service Levels
during the Benchmarking Period.

            (e) The Steady State Service Level shall be effective (and replace
the Interim Service Level if one is specified) after the Steady State Service
Level is established pursuant to Section 6.3(d) above.

      6.4   CODE "D" SERVICE LEVELS

            The following shall apply to each Service Level with a Code "D"
designation:

            (a) The Interim Service Level shall be effective on the applicable
Service Commencement Date of the Services, or portion of the Services, covered
by such Service Level. IBM will continue to meet or exceed the Interim Service
Level through December 31, 2005.

            (b) The Stage 1 Steady State Service Level shall replace the Interim
Service Level on January 1, 2006. IBM will meet or exceed the Stage 1 Steady
State Service Level through June 30, 2006.

                                     B - 9

<PAGE>

            (c) The Stage 2 Steady State Service Level shall replace the Stage 1
Steady State Service Level on July 1, 2006. IBM will meet or exceed the Stage 2
Steady State Service Level thereafter for the remainder of the Term.

      6.5   MULTIPLE SERVICE LEVEL CODES

            For Service Levels with two letter code designations, the following
shall apply:

            (a) The portion of the Service Level covered by each letter code
shall be measured, and benchmarked if appropriate, in accordance with the terms
above in this Section 6.

            (b) Example #1 explains how the Press Data - Accuracy Service Level
in Exhibit B-3 (Transaction Processing Service Levels) shall be measured. There
is no Interim Service Level specified and the Steady State Service Level
requires 99% accuracy. The Service Level is designated as a code "C" for Italy
and a code "A" for the UK.

                  (i) Press Data in the UK (designated as code "A") is subject
to the 99% accuracy requirement beginning on the Service Commencement Date.

                  (ii) Press Data in Italy (designated as code "C") is not
subject to a Service Level on the Service Commencement Date. During the
Benchmarking Period required for code "C" Service Levels, Press Data - accuracy
will be measured for Press Data in the aggregate in both Italy and the UK. The
Steady State Service Level shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 6.3(d)
above to reflect the addition of Press Data in Italy to the aggregate
measurement.

            (c) Example #2 explains how the Press Data - Completeness Service
Level in Exhibit B-3 (Transaction Processing Service Levels) shall be measured.
The Interim Service Level requires 98% completeness and the Steady State Service
Level requires 100% completeness. The Service Level is designated as a code "A"
for Italy and a code "B" for the UK.

                  (i) On the Service Commencement Date, the 100% completeness
requirement shall apply to Press Data in Italy (designated as a code "A") and
the 98% completeness requirement shall apply to Press Data in the UK (designated
as a code "B"). IBM must meet or exceed both requirements in order to meet the
Service Level.

                  (ii) Press Data in both Italy and the UK shall be subject to
the 100% requirement once the Steady State Service Level becomes effective.

      1.3 ADDITIONAL DESIGNATIONS AND SERVICE LEVEL CREDIT RULES

      Each of the Service Level tables below contains a "Designation" column.
This Section 1.3 describes the terms and conditions that apply to each letter
designation in the Designation column.

            (a) If IBM fails to meet the "(a)" element of a Service Level with
an "X" in the Designation column of the tables below, then the full Service
Level Credit associated with such Service Level shall be payable. If IBM fails
to meet

                              to the Market(s) for which the "(b)" component of
                              the Service Level was missed in such month; and

                        (C)   C = 2.

                  (ii)  For the North America Market, the Service Level Credit
                        shall equal A x B where:

                        (A)   A = The total Service Level Credit resulting from
                              a miss of the applicable Service Level calculated
                              in accordance Section 4 of Schedule B (Service
                              Levels); and

                              to North America for such month.

            (b) If IBM fails to meet a Service Level with an "E" in the
Designation column of the tables below for a particular Market, a Service Level
Credit shall not be payable unless IBM has missed the Service Level in the same
Market three (3) times during the rolling twelve (12) month period ending in
such month (i.e., Service Level Credits shall be payable for the 4th miss, and
each subsequent miss, in a rolling twelve (12) month period).

            (c) If IBM fails to meet the "(b)" element of a Service Level with
an "F" in the Designation column of the tables below for a particular Market, a
Service Level Credit shall not be payable unless IBM missed the Service Level in

            (g) The ASA Service Levels with a "J" in the Designation column of
the tables below shall be reviewed by the Parties in accordance with the
following: If IBM demonstrates prior to the date the Steady State Service Level
becomes effective that it is not possible to achieve the required twenty-five
(25) second ASA in element "(a)" or twenty-six (26) second ASA in element"(b)"
using the IBM Personnel and solution described in Exhibit A6-4 (Contact Center
Solution), then the Parties shall adjust such Service Level to a level that IBM
can meet using such IBM Personnel and solution; provided, however, that the
"(a)" element of such Service Level shall not be adjusted below thirty (30)
seconds and the "(b)" element shall not be adjusted below thirty-one and one
half (31.5) seconds.

            (h) The actual Service Levels set forth in the "(b)" element of
Service Levels with an "K" in the Designation column of the tables below are
equal to ninety-five (95%) of the "(a)" element for such Service Level. Any new
or revised Service Levels with an "X" designation shall apply this ratio.

            (i) Service Levels with an "L" in the Designation column of the
tables below shall be measured on a calendar basis. Service Levels with an "M"
in the Designation column of the tables below shall be measured on a monthly
calendar specified by D&B.

            (j) As of the Effective Date, Contacts covered by Service Levels
with an "N" in the Designation column of the tables cannot be segregated by
Inbound Contact Category or Gold Service Contacts in the European Market. IBM
shall implement a process or technology that can segregate such Contacts prior
to the date the Steady State Service Level becomes effective.

            (k) For Service Levels with an "O" in the Designation column of the
tables below, IBM will not be responsible for meeting the "(b)" element of the
Service Level until IBM implements the contact management system described in
Attachment A-7-3 (Transformation Solution) (scheduled for January 1, 2006).

            (l) For Service Levels with a "P" in the Designation column of the
tables below, IBM will not be responsible for meeting the Service Level until
IBM implements the contact management system described in Attachment A-7-3
(Transformation Solution) (scheduled for January 1, 2006).

7. RECORD COMPLETENESS SCORES

      7.1 MEASUREMENT INFORMATION

      D&B has divided the records in its databases into three categories for
purposes of this Service Level (i) Full Records, (ii) Branch Records, and (iii)
DSRs. An overall completeness score for each of these categories of records
("Completeness Scores") shall be established and tracked as follows:

            (a) Each data element in each D&B record shall be given a point
value. The data elements and weightings that will apply as of the Effective Date
are provided in Attachment B-1-1 (Record Completeness Score Point Values).

            (b) If a data element field is complete in the D&B database, its
weighted value will be added to the applicable overall Completeness Score. As
IBM fills/completes additional data element fields in the D&B database, the
overall Completeness Score will be increased to reflect the value of those
elements.

            (c) IBM's performance against this Service Level will be measured by
comparing the Completeness Scores at the beginning of the month for all of the
records it accessed during the month, with the Completeness Score for the same
records at the end of the month.

<PAGE>

                  (d) Upon thirty (30) days notice at any time during the Term,
D&B may adjust the data element weightings in its sole discretion to refocus IBM
on collecting and updating different elements. The Completeness Scores will be
adjusted to reflect the modified weightings and IBM's performance will be
measured against the adjusted scores.

            (e) Records reclassified as "Out of Business" in a month shall be
excluded from this Service Level. At least fifty percent (50%) of the records
reclassified as "Out-of-Business" shall be quality checked to ensure the subject
companies are actually permanently out-of-business.

            (f) Point reductions that IBM establishes to D&B's reasonable
satisfaction are caused by the removal of inaccurate or inappropriate data from
D&B records shall be excluded from this Service Level, and the baseline
Completeness Score for the month and year shall be reduced accordingly. All data
within this category shall be logged by IBM and reviewed and approved at the end
of each month by D&B. For example,

                  (i)   If a record has three (3) trade styles presented at a
                        value of six (6) points, and two (2) of the three (3)
                        trade styles are duplicates, then the correct response
                        would be to delete two (2) of the trade styles. This
                        data must be excluded from the baseline Completeness
                        Score so that IBM is not penalized for removing the
                        invalid data from the applicable records.

                  (ii)  If the record has a PO Box that was at one time accurate
                        and the update reveals that the PO Box is no longer
                        valid (perhaps because email has made the necessity
                        obsolete), then the correct response would be to delete
                        the PO Box. As in example (i), this data must be
                        excluded from the baseline Completeness Score so that
                        IBM is not penalized for removing the invalid data from
                        the applicable records.

      7.2 COMPLETENESS SCORE CATEGORIES

            (a) "Full Records" are records designated as BB report types, a BIR,
or in layman's terms a record that has a Summary, Finance, History, and
Operations section at a minimum.

            (b) "Branch Records" are created as a result of a customer inquiry
or Family Tree activity that enhances Family Tree coverage and accuracy. They
differ from Full Records and DSRs in the following ways:

                  (i)   No sales figure value is available (Super 6 elements
                        rather than Super 7).

                  (ii)  Business registration, antecedent, history, email,
                        linkage to parent company and employee variance are not
                        available or do not make sense for Branch Records.

                  (iii) Financial Statements can not be populated into Branch
                        Records.

            (c) "DUNS Support Records" or "DSRs" are created as a result of an
Inbound Contacts searching for a DUNS Number or Family Tree activity that
enhances Family Tree coverage and accuracy. DSR records differ from Full Records
and Branch Records in the following ways:

                  (i)   DSRs can be populated with sales figures.

                  (ii)  DSRs can be populated with essentially every element a
                        Full Record can have. But the vast majority of time DSRs
                        are skeletal records that are populated with the Super 7
                        elements necessary for a high quality marketing record.

* The Interim  Service  Levels in the File Update  Request (File Build) and File
Update Request (File Maintenance) Turn-Around Time Service Level Categories will
be established  on May 1, 2005,  using the  benchmarked  data collected from the
Service Commencement date through April 30, 2005. The Interim Service Level will
remain in effect  until  October 1, 2005 when the Stage 1 Steady  State  Service
Level  becomes  effective.  The  Stage 1  Steady  State  Service  Level  will be
established  based on the  mid-point  between the Interim  Service Level and the
Stage 2 Steady State Service  Level,  and will remain in effect until January 1,
2006. The Stage 2 Steady State Service Level will become effective on January 1,
2006 and will remain in effect for the remainder of the Term.

      (c) Personal Investigations Service Level

      During Transition, the Parties shall either (i) establish a Turn-Around
Time Service Level for Personal Investigations in the US and Europe or (ii)
incorporate Personal Investigations into existing Turn-Around Time Service
Levels. Using historical data to be provided by D&B, the Parties will agree upon
code designations for the new or adjusted Service Level and a corresponding
Interim Service Level and Stage 1 and Stage 2 Steady State Service Levels if
appropriate.

1. DELIVERY SERVICES

      1.1 DEFINITIONS FOR DELIVERY SERVICE LEVELS

            (a) "Commitment Date" shall mean the date by which IBM is required
to deliver a Delivery Project to D&B or a D&B customer.

                  (i)   Unless the Parties agree upon an earlier date for a
                        particular Delivery Project, the Commitment Date for a
                        Standard Delivery Project shall be determined based on
                        the IBM Turn-Around Times provided in Attachment B-2-1
                        (Delivery Project Turn-Around Times). For example, if
                        the IBM Turn-Around Time for a particular Delivery
                        Project is three days, then the Commitment Date shall be
                        three days after the day IBM receives a request and
                        product specifications required to fabricate the
                        Delivery Project.

                  (ii)  The Commitment Date for a Priority Delivery Project
                        shall be either the same day or the following day, as
                        designated by D&B.

            (b) "Defect" shall mean a processing or programming error or other
failure to comply with applicable Delivery Project specifications.

            (c) "Delivery Project" shall mean an RMS, SMS, S&MS or other project
involving design, generation, and distribution of D&B products or services.

            (d) "EOM Delivery Project" shall mean a Delivery Project that needs
to be completed in an expedited manner in order to meet an end-of-month deadline
(which shall be the next to last Business Day of each month unless defined
otherwise by the D&B's billing and revenue recognition department).

            (e) "Priority Delivery Project" shall mean a Delivery Project for a
Gold Service Customer, EOM Delivery Project, or other Delivery Project that a
D&B customer requires on an expedited basis.

            (f) "Project Sizing Request" shall mean a request from D&B to
provide project size information for products requested by D&B customers.

<PAGE>

            (g) "Project Sizing Time" for each Project Sizing Request shall be
measured from (i) the moment D&B provides IBM with the request and the
corresponding product specifications, until (ii) the moment IBM provides the
required sizing information to D&B.

            (h) "Service Request" shall mean a request by D&B for assistance
with customer calls, project sizing, project prioritization or planning, or
other inquires related to the Services.

            (i) "Service Request Response Time" shall be measured from (i) the
moment IBM receives a Service Request, until (ii) the moment a IBM resource with
appropriate knowledge, language skills, and experience responds to the Service
request and begins providing the requested assistance.

            (j) "Standard Delivery Projects" shall mean all Delivery Projects
that are not Priority Delivery Projects.

      1.2 SERVICE REQUESTS

            (a) Measurement Information

            IBM will track and measure its performance against the Service
Levels in this Section 1.2 using manual call logs or the tracking tools IBM
implements during Transition.

                                            Services) shall be less than or equal to 1.25 hours; and

                                           (b) No single Service Request Response Time shall exceed 2 hours.

                                           IBM shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to respond to requests outside of normal
                                           hours of operation.

Project Sizing Time               A        (a) The average Project Sizing Time for Project Sizing Requests shall be less than or

      1.3 ON-TIME PROJECT DELIVERY

            (a) Measurement Information

                  (i)   A Delivery Project shall be considered "completed and
                        delivered" when (A) IBM has performed all applicable
                        Services described in Section 2.3 of Exhibit A-2 (Data
                        Programming Services) or in the applicable project plan,
                        (B) IBM has satisfied and verified all items on the
                        applicable quality checklist attached as Attachment A2-4
                        (DP Quality Checklists), and (C) the project has passed
                        quality assurance testing performed by D&B.

                  (ii)  IBM will track and measure its performance against the
                        Service Levels in this Section 1.3 using manual call
                        logs or the tracking tools IBM implements during
                        Transition.

                  (iii) In order to leverage the time zone differences between
                        the U.S. and India, for purposes of measuring IBM's
                        performance against the Service Levels in this Section
                        1.3 for Delivery Projects in the U.S., the period
                        between 20:00 (Eastern Time) and 11:00 (Eastern Time)
                        the following morning shall be considered one "day".
                        Subsequent "days" shall be measured in 24 hour
                        increments from 11:00 to 11:00 each day. For example, if
                        D&B provides IBM with an order for a Delivery Project at
                        17:00 Tuesday, and the Commitment Date specified in
                        Attachment B-2-1 (Delivery Project Turn-Around Times) is
                        2 days later, then IBM will be required to complete the
                        Delivery Project by 11:00 Thursday (i.e., 17:00 Tuesday
                        to 11:00 Wednesday is one day; 11:00 Wednesday to 11:00
                        Thursday is a second day).

      * IBM acknowledges that a substantial portion (10% to 15%) of the Delivery
      Projects it creates shall be done on a priority basis, particularly during
      month-end, quarter-end, and year-end peak times. IBM shall manage and
      supplement its resources as necessary to accommodate such projects.

      1.4 QUALITY

            (a) Measurement Information

            IBM's performance against the Service Levels in this Section 1.4
shall be measured using a statistically significant Sample Group for each
country to which IBM delivers D&B Products. The Sample Group for each month
shall be made up of all Delivery Projects in each such country that are quality
checked by a D&B Project Manager during such month. D&B shall generate a report
each month identifying the Delivery Projects by country that make up the Sample
Group and the number of Delivery Projects in the Sample Group with Defects. This
report shall be used to assess IBM's performance against the Service Levels.

2. GLOBAL TRADE SERVICES

      2.1 DEFINITIONS FOR GLOBAL TRADE SERVICE LEVELS

            (a) "ABEND Resolution Time" shall be measured for each ABEND from
(i) the moment the ABEND is identified to IBM by D&B systems, until (ii) the
moment IBM completes the functions described in Section 1.3(c) of Exhibit A-2
(Data Programming Services) required to eliminate the ABEND and sends a
corrected file back to D&B for subsequent processing.

            (b) "Benefit/Incentive Turn-around Time" shall be measured for each
Benefit/Incentive requested from (i) the moment D&B requests a
Benefit/Incentive, until (ii) the moment IBM completes the functions described
in Section 1.3(e) of Exhibit A-2 (Data Programming Services).

            (c) "Delinquent File Turn-around Time" shall be measured for each
Delinquent File from (i) the date the Delinquent File is identified to IBM by
D&B, until (ii) the date a current version of the Delinquent File is obtained
from the applicable customer and passed back to D&B, or the customer notifies
IBM it will provide a file by the next expected submission date.

            (d) "I Case Resolution Time" shall be measured for each I Case from
(i) the moment D&B identifies an I Case to IBM, until (ii) the day IBM performs
the functions described in Section 1.3(d) of Exhibit A-2 (Data Programming
Services) necessary to resolve the I Case. Resolution of an I Case requires
investigation of the cause of the I Case (including reviewing historical numbers
and data on the case file), corrections of all problems or inconsistencies in
the I Case, and submission of an error-free file back to D&B for re-processing.

            (e) "Manual File Pre-Processing Turn-around Time" for each file
requiring manual pre-processing will be measured from (i) the moment D&B makes a
file requiring manual preprocessing available to IBM, until (ii) the moment IBM
completes the processing described in Section 1.3(b) of Exhibit A-2 (Data
Programming Services) necessary to pass the file to the next automated step in
the trade processing process.

            (f) "Priority Benefit/Incentive" shall mean a Benefit/Incentive that
D&B customers require on an expedited basis, as designated by D&B.

            (g) "Standard Benefit/Incentive" shall mean a Benefit/Incentive
other than a Priority Benefit/Incentive.

                                ATTACHMENT B-2-1
                 DELIVERY COMMITMENT DATES - STANDARD PROJECTS

      This Attachment B-2-1 provides the Commitment Dates for Standard Delivery
Projects. The product names listed below correspond to RMS, S&MS, and SMS
products D&B's sales team will list on each order form. All references to "days"
refer to calendar days.

1. STANDARD AND CUSTOM PRODUCTS

      The Commitment Dates vary depending on whether the requested D&B Product
is a "standard" or "custom" product.

      1.1 STANDARD PRODUCTS

      For purposes of measuring the Service Levels, a "standard" product is a
product that is fabricated using pre-defined processes and output file layouts
that require little to no manipulation. Standard products may involve simple
appends of additional data elements from existing niche files.

      1.2 CUSTOM PRODUCTS

            (a) For purposes of measuring the Service Levels, a "custom" product
is a complex product that requires program development and extensive processing
to fabricate. The following are some of the factors that make a product
"custom":

                  (i)   Transformation of data into custom layout(s).

                  (ii)  Inclusion of historical data.

                  (iii) Corporate Family Linkage.

                  (iv)  Size of the universe being processed.

                  (v)   Inclusion of Customer data.

                  (vi)  Off-site processing.

            (b) Custom processing is broken into two separate categories: Ad-hoc
and Scheduled.

                  (i)   "Ad-hoc" requests are one-time jobs requested by a
                        customer at any time during a month. The Commitment
                        Dates for custom Ad-hoc deliverables will be determined
                        by the Parties based on the details of the customer's
                        request and the amount of work required.

                  (ii)  "Scheduled" work is produced on a pre-determined
                        schedule, usually monthly or quarterly. The product
                        deliverable may remain constant for the length of a
                        contract

                        or may change each update based on the needs of a
                        customer. The Commitment Dates for scheduled products
                        and customers existing as of the Effective Date will
                        continue to apply after the Effective Date. The
                        Commitment Dates for new scheduled requests will be
                        determined by the Parties based on the details of the
                        customer's contract and the level of work required.

      1.3 TURN-AROUND TIMES

            (a) The "Aggregate Turn-Around Times" in the tables below reflect
the end-to-end time periods in which a D&B Product needs to be fabricated and
distributed. They include time for D&B to perform its project management and
related activities and time for IBM to complete the required Services that are
within the scope of the Agreement.

            (b) The "IBM Turn-Around Times" in the table below provide the
turn-around times during which IBM must perform its responsibilities with
respect to each Delivery Project.

                  (i)   The Aggregate Turn-Around Time and the IBM Turn-Around
                        times are equal in cases where IBM is responsible for
                        all aspects of the fabrication and delivery process
                        (i.e., there is no project manager oversight).

                  (ii)  The IBM Turn-Around Times will be used to establish the
                        Commitment Date for each Delivery Project and to measure
                        IBM's performance against the on-time delivery Service
                        Levels in Section 1.3 of Exhibit B-2 (Data Programming
                        Service Levels).

5. INCREMENTAL TIMES - U.S.

      This Section 5 describes certain incremental functions outside of IBM's
scope of responsibility that may be required in order to fabricate a U.S. D&B
Product. When required, (a) IBM shall order the incremental function from the
D&B or third party responsible for the function, (b) D&B or a third party will
perform the incremental function and (c) the applicable IBM Turn-Around Time
shall be increased by the time it takes D&B or a third party to perform the
incremental function. The estimated turn-around times for each of these
incremental functions is specified below.

2.    MEASUREMENT INFORMATION

      2.1   ACCURACY

            (a)   IBM (and D&B at its option) shall perform manual quality
checks on a statistically significant Sample Group of files provided to IBM to
measure and monitor "Accuracy".

            (b)   IBM's performance against the Accuracy Service Levels will be
determined by dividing the number of TP Data files in the Sample Group that are
Processed without Errors, by the total number of TP Data files in the Sample
Group, and multiplying the result by 100.

      2.2   COMPLETENESS

            (a)   IBM (and D&B at its option) shall perform manual quality
checks on a statistically significant Sample Group provided to IBM of files to
measure and monitor the "Completeness" with which IBM processes TP Data.

            (b)   IBM's performance against the Completeness Service Levels will
be determined by dividing the number of TP Data files in the Sample Group for
which all available information has been properly identified, categorized, and
entered into the correct fields in the D&B databases, by the total number of TP
Data files in the Sample Group, and multiplying the result by 100.

      2.3   TIMELINESS

            (a)   IBM (and D&B at its option) shall perform manual quality
checks on a statistically significant Sample Group of files provided to IBM to
measure and monitor the "Timeliness" with which IBM processes TP Data.

                                      B-3-4

<PAGE>

            (b)   IBM's performance against the Timeliness Service Levels will
be determined by dividing the number of TP Data files in the Sample Group that
have been Processed within the required Processing Time, by the total number of
TP Data files in the Sample Group, and multiplying the result by 100.

      2.4   RE-WORK TIME

            (a)   IBM (and D&B at its option) shall perform manual quality
checks on a statistically significant Sample Group of files submitted to IBM for
Error Re-Work processing to measure and monitor the timeliness with which IBM
completes such processing.

            (b)   IBM's performance against the Error Re-Work Service Levels
will be determined by dividing the number of TP Data files in the Sample Group
that meet the applicable Re-Work Times, by the total number of TP Data files in
the Sample Group, and multiplying the result by 100.

            (c)   The Re-Work Time Service Levels are stated in "Business Days".
For purposes of these Service Levels, Business Days start at 08:00 GMT and end
at either 17:00 GMT for bulk data loads or 18:30 GMT for regular data loads.
Thus in order to meet a Re-Work Time Service Level of "1 Business Day" for an
error re-work file received before 08:00 GMT, IBM must perform all required
processing and resubmit the re-worked file for overnight batch processing on the
same day before 17:00 GMT for bulk data or 18:30 GMT for regular data loads.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, IBM shall process data or perform error re-work
on an expedited basis for emergency jobs submitted by D&B or requested by a D&B
customer. This may require IBM to process data received after the 08:00 cut-off
on the same day or for Saturday night batch processing.

3.    TRANSITION PERIOD BENCHMARK

      The "[TBD]" element of the Interim Service Level for (1) Detrimental Data
- Accuracy, (2) Registration Data - Accuracy (Italy only), and (3) Press Day -
Accuracy (Italy) in Section 4 will be established during Transition as follows:

            (a)   The Parties shall collect performance data for these Service
Levels between January 3, 2005 and April 30, 2005 ("Measurement Period").

            (b)   On April 30, 2005 the Parties will establish an Interim
Service Level and Steady State Service Level at a level mutually agreed by the
Parties based on data collected during the Measurement Period. This process
shall replace the process described in Section 6.3 of Schedule B (Service
Levels).

                  (i)   "DSO" for a single month shall be calculated as:
                        aggregate account receivables for the month, divided by
                        the Three-Month Average Sale.

                  (ii)  "Average DSO" shall be calculated by averaging the DSO
                        from each month during the rolling-12 month period
                        ending in the current month.

                  (iii) Three-Month Average Sale" shall mean the average of the
                        end of month sales of D&B products plus the two prior
                        month's sales of D&B products, divided by three.

            (b)   DSO Targets

            IBM shall measure and report on DSO performance on a monthly basis
and work with D&B to develop a plan and strategy to consistently achieve the DSO
targets in Attachment B-4-1. However, DSO shall not be a "Service Level" to
which Service Level Credits apply.

            The Average DSO targets in Attachment B-4-1 were established using
performance data from October 2003 through September 2004. These DSO targets
(extending through February 2007) shall be adjusted up or down on the Service
Commencement Date using (A) actual DSO performance data prior to such date and
(B) the methodology, improvement assumptions, and forecasting model documented
in Attachment B-4-2. This shall be a one-time adjustment that establishes the
DSO targets through February 2007.

            (a)   Definitions

                  (i)   "Days Delinquent" shall be calculated each month by
                        subtracting the BPDSO from the Average DSO for such
                        month.

                  (ii)  "Average Days Delinquent" shall be calculated each month
                        by averaging the Days Delinquent from each month during
                        the rolling-12 month period ending in the current month.

                  (iii) "Best Possible DSO" or "BPDSO" for each market for a
                        single month shall be calculated as follows: Aggregate
                        accounts receivables for the month, less past due
                        amounts, divided by the 3-Month Average Sale.

                  (iv)  "Average BPDSO" shall be calculated each month by
                        averaging the BPDSO from each month during the rolling
                        12 month period ending in the current month.

                  (v)   "3-Month Average Sale" shall mean the average of the end
                        of month sales of D&B products plus the two prior

that month in Attachment B-4-1, but does not exceed that requirement by more
than one day, Supplier shall not be required to pay a Service Level Credit for
missing such Service Level; provided that this waiver of Service Level Credits
shall not apply more than two times in any rolling 6-month period for any
Average Days Delinquent Service Level requirement in any market.

                        FORECASTING METHODOLOGY AND MODEL

      The purpose of this Attachment B-4-2 is to provide an Excel forecasting
model designed during the Agreement negotiation process and to describe the key
assumptions that IBM and D&B agree to use when forecasting the parameters
against which IBM's future Average DSO, Average Days Delinquent, and Aged Debt
performance will be measured, and when updating and re-forecasting such
parameters.

      The key assumption made in relation to each Service Level is that through
use of improved processes and technologies, IBM will be able to improve on the
past performance of D&B in the areas of Average DSO, Average Days Delinquent,
and Aged Debt.

1.    AVERAGE DSO AND AVERAGE DAYS DELINQUENT

      In the forecasting model embedded in Section 4 (in the electronic version
of this Attachment B-4-2), an opening position for Average DSO and Average Days
Delinquent is calculated based on the actual previous 12 months of historical
results from D&B records. The target for performance is then calculated based on
a required improvement percentage over the first 10 quarters following the
Service Commencement Date. From the monthly rate of change that is required to
achieve the end result, it is possible to predict the monthly trend data, based
on previous year equivalent result, that will be needed to produce this end
result.

      The Average Days Delinquent forecasting model is based on the improvement
assumptions below. The Parties may mutually agree to adjust these assumptions
during the Term. If the Parties are unable to agree on new improvement
assumptions, the assumptions below shall continue to apply.

            (a)   1.06 day reduction per quarter in the US

            (b)   4.66 day reduction per quarter in the UK

            (c)   11.52 day reduction per quarter in Ireland

            (d)   1.87 day reduction per quarter in Holland

            (e)   1.35 day reduction per quarter in Belgium

            (f)   9.71 day reduction per quarter in Italy

      The Service Level achievement will be monitored against this monthly trend
data. Improvement after the 10th quarter following the Service Commencement Date
will be subject to later negotiation between D&B and IBM.

2.    AGED DEBT

      In the forecasting model in Section 4, an opening position for Aged Debt
is calculated based on the actual previous 12 months of historical results from
D&B records. The target for performance is then calculated based on an
anticipated improvement over the first six quarters following the Service
Commencement Date.

      The Aged Debt forecasting model is based on the improvement assumptions
below. The Parties may mutually agree to adjust these assumptions during the
Term. If the Parties are unable to agree on new improvement assumptions, the
assumptions below shall continue to apply.

            (a)   In the US, 0.86% drop in debt > 60 days and 0.33% drop in debt
                  > 90 days.

            (b)   In the UK, 1.98% drop in debt > 60 days and 1.61% drop in debt
                  > 90 days.

            (c)   In Ireland, 7.98% drop in debt > 60 days and 1.41% drop in
                  debt > 90 days.

            (d)   In Holland, 0.31% drop in debt > 60 days and 0.25% drop in
                  debt > 90 days.

            (e)   In Belgium, 0.36% drop in debt > 60 days and 0.23% drop in
                  debt > 90 days.

            (f)   In Italy, 6.12% drop in debt > 60 days and 5.99% drop in debt
                  > 90 days.

      The Service Level achievement will be monitored against this monthly trend
data. Improvement after the 6th quarter following the Service Commencement Date
will be subject to later negotiation between D&B and IBM.

3.    RECALIBRATION

      Any recalibration of Service Levels on the Service Commencement Date done
in accordance with Section 1.1(c), 1.2(c), or 1.4(c) of Exhibit B-4 (Financial
Processing Service Levels) shall use the same forecasting tool the Parties used
to establish the requirements above (i.e., the forecasting model in Section 4
below) and shall be based on the same assumptions.

4.    FORECASTING MODEL

      The excel forecasting model described above in this Attachment is embedded
below in the electronic version of this document.

            Delivery, and Europe Delivery Services jobs described in Exhibit A-2
            (Data Programming Services) that are scheduled to be completed
            during the last ten (10) calendar days of any month during the Term;

      3.    A failure during a month, in the Europe Major Market, to process at
            least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Orders in compliance with
            the Order Validation and Processing Service Level set forth in
            Exhibit B-4;

      4.    In one or more of the Major Markets, actual cash collections during

      5.    Due to the fault of IBM, D&B is unable to complete a quarterly or
            year-end close of its books on time, as a result of which D&B's
            scheduled earnings release is delayed, or an audit conducted by or
            for D&B contains a finding that D&B is materially out of compliance
            with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including
            any applicable regulations issued by the U.S. Securities and
            Exchange Commission (SEC) and the SEC-administered Public Company
            Accounting Oversight Board, and such non-compliance is due to IBM's
            failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance requirements
            set forth in Section 3(b)of Exhibit A-5 (Cross Functional Services
            Statement of Work); and/or

      6.    Pursuant to Exhibit A-7 (Revenue Commitment Service Levels), IBM
            owes (or has paid or given) or, but for the Revenue Credit Caps,
            would have owed, paid or given, D&B credits during four consecutive
            Revenue Quarters in an amount that, in the aggregate, exceeds the
            sum of the Revenue Credit Caps during each of such Revenue Quarters.

                                   EXHIBIT C-1
              TRANSACTION TYPES AND TRANSACTION VOLUME MEASUREMENT

      Exhibit C-2 (Pricing Tables) lists the Transaction types and corresponding
rates IBM shall use to charge D&B for the Services. This Exhibit C-1 provides a
definition for each of those Transaction types and explains how IBM shall
measure, track, and count the Transactions when calculating IBM's Variable
Service Charges each month.

1.    DATA PROGRAMMING SERVICES

      1.1   Global Trade Services

      The Transaction type definitions and measurement information in this
Section 1.1 shall be used to calculate the Variable Service Charges for the
Global Trade Services IBM performs.

      (a)   Global Trade Service Transaction Types.

            (i)   "Delinquent File" shall mean a file expected by D&B from a
                  global trade customer that was not received on-time.

                  IBM shall charge D&B for each Delinquent File referred to IBM
                  by D&B for which IBM performs the e-mail prompting and
                  processing Services described in Section 1.3(a) of Exhibit A-2
                  (Data Programming Services) and:

                  (A)   Obtains the Delinquent File;

                  (B)   Obtains a commitment from a customer to provide the
                        Delinquent File with the next month's file submission;
                        or

                  (C)   Refers the Delinquent File back to D&B after performing
                        the activities described in Section 1.3(a) of Exhibit
                        A-2 (Data Programming Services) with an explanation of
                        why the file cannot be obtained.

            (ii)  "Manually Processed File" shall mean a global trade file that
                  requires manual processing in order to pass through D&B's
                  automated global trade systems.

                  IBM shall charge D&B for each Manually Processed File referred
                  to IBM by D&B that:

                  (A)   IBM manually processes in accordance with Section 1.3(b)
                        of Exhibit A-2 (Data Programming Services) and submits
                        to D&B for processing; and

                  (B)   Successfully passes through D&B's automated global trade
                        systems after such manual processing without resulting
                        in an ABEND, I-Case, or other problem.

<PAGE>

            (iii) "Global Trade File ABEND" shall mean an ABEND occurring during
                  global trade system processing.

                  IBM shall charge D&B for each Global Trade File ABEND referred
                  to IBM by D&B that:

                  (A)   IBM processes in accordance with Section 1.3(c) of
                        Exhibit A-2 (Data Programming Services); and

                  (B)   Either (1) successfully passes through D&B's automated
                        systems without ABENDing again or, (2) if the ABEND
                        cannot be resolved without customer contact, is referred
                        to D&B with an explanation of why customer contact is
                        required.

            (iv)  "I-Case" shall mean a file that requires exception processing
                  in order to satisfy D&B's global trade system quality
                  assurance checks.

                  IBM shall charge D&B for each I-Case referred to IBM by D&B
                  that:

                  (A)   IBM processes in accordance with Section 1.3(d) of
                        Exhibit A-2 (Data Programming Services); and

                  (B)   Either (1) successfully passes through D&B's quality
                        assurance systems, or (2) if the I-Case cannot be
                        resolved without customer contact, is referred to D&B
                        with an explanation of why customer contact is required.

            (v)   "Benefit/Incentive" shall mean a benefit or incentive that D&B
                  asks IBM to create and send to a D&B customer.

                  IBM shall charge D&B for each Benefit/Incentive referred to
                  IBM by D&B that IBM:

                  (A)   Fabricates in accordance with specifications provided by
                        D&B or documented in applicable D&B policies or
                        procedures; and

                  (B)   Distributes to a D&B customer in accordance with Section
                        1.3(e) of Exhibit A-2 (Data Programming Services).

      (b)   Counting Rules for Global Trade Transactions.

            (i)   There are five Global Trade Transaction types described in
                  Section 1.1(a). For each Global Trade Transaction type there
                  is a separate U.S., Canada, and Europe Service Charge provided
                  in Exhibit C-2 (Pricing Tables). The location of the customer
                  account to which the Global Trade Transaction relates shall
                  determine whether the

                  Transaction will result in a U.S., Canada, or Europe Variable
                  Service Charge.

            (ii)  IBM shall not charge D&B for:

                  (A)   Re-work required to correct a failure of a Manually
                        Processed File, Global Trade ABEND, or I-Case processed

                  (B)   Re-work to correct a failure of a Benefit/Incentive to
                        meet specifications provided by D&B or documented in
                        applicable D&B policies or procedures.

                        team.

      (b)   Counting Rules for Delivery Service Transactions.

            (i)   IBM will receive requests for D&B Products from D&B
                  representatives based in the U.S., Europe, and Canada. The
                  location of the D&B account maintained by the customer to
                  which the Delivery Project is to be delivered shall determine
                  whether fabrication of the requested D&B Product will result
                  in a U.S. Transaction described in Section 1.2(a), a European
                  Transaction described in Section 1.2(b), or a Canadian
                  Transaction described in Section 1.2(c).

            (ii)  IBM shall charge D&B for D&B Products requested by an
                  authorized D&B representative that IBM:

                  (A)   Fabricates in accordance with Section 2 of Exhibit A-2
                        (Data Programming Services) and applicable order
                        specifications;

                  (B)   Delivers to the appropriate End User in the format
                        requested in the applicable order specifications; and

                  (C)   Documents in a IBM tracking system when the D&B Product
                        is fabricated and delivered.

            (iii) An order request for a D&B Product shall only be counted as
                  one Transaction for purposes of calculating the charges. IBM
                  shall not charge D&B for any re-work or other Services
                  associated with a Delivery Project after that Delivery Project
                  has been fabricated and delivered to an End User.

2.    TRANSACTION PROCESSING SERVICES

      The Transaction type definitions and measurement information in this
Section 2 shall be used to calculate the Variable Service Charges for the
Transaction Processing Services IBM performs.

      2.1   Current Methodology

      (a)   Transaction Processing Transaction Types.

            (i)   "Data Entry Transaction" shall mean a TP Data update received
                  from D&B third party data providers or Press Data obtained by
                  IBM using data mining tools that IBM manually enters into a
                  D&B database record in accordance with Section 3.4(a) of
                  Exhibit A-3 (Transaction Processing Services). Each TP Data
                  update (e.g., an

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     C-1- 5

<PAGE>

                  update containing Registration Data or Detrimental Data)
                  entered by IBM shall be considered one Data Entry Transaction.

            (ii)  "Error Rework Transaction" shall mean a D&B database record
                  referred to IBM by D&B for error re-work processing that IBM
                  investigates and re-works to correct data errors in accordance
                  with Section 3.4(b) of Exhibit A-3 (Transaction Processing
                  Services).

      (b) IBM shall document the number of Data Entry Transactions and
Error-Rework Transactions it successfully processes each month. This report
shall be used to calculate the monthly Variable Service Charges for Transaction
Processing Services.

      2.2   Recalibration to New Methodology

      (a) 90 days following the Service Commencement Date, the following
counting rules shall become effective:

            (i)   IBM shall not charge D&B for Error Rework Transactions
                  required as a result of data entry or other errors or
                  omissions made by IBM (e.g., if IBM incorrectly updates a D&B
                  record, the error rework required to correct the update shall
                  not be considered a chargeable Transaction).

            (ii)  IBM shall not charge D&B for Data Entry Transaction or Error
                  Rework Transaction that are not processed within the time
                  frames specified in Exhibit B-3 (Transaction Processing
                  Service Levels).

      (b) The Parties shall use the methodology provided in Section 8.6 of
Schedule C (Charges) to benchmark and adjust the Variable Service Charge unit
rate for Error Rework Transactions in Exhibit C-2 (Pricing Tables).

3.    CONTACT CENTER SERVICES

      3.1   Inbound Contacts

      The Transaction type definitions and measurement information in this
Section 3.1 shall be used to calculate the Service Charges for the Inbound
Contacts IBM receives and resolves.

      (a)   Counting Rules for Inbound Contact Transactions.

            (i)   Until IBM implements the contact management system described
                  in Exhibit A-7-3 (Transformation Solution), Inbound Contact
                  Transactions shall be counted using data from the D&B call
                  reporting systems in use as of the Effective Date (the "Legacy
                  Inbound Contact Reporting Systems").

            (ii)  At the end of each month, D&B shall generate a report using
                  data from the Legacy Inbound Contact Reporting Systems that
                  shows the volume of each type of Inbound Contact Transaction
                  processed

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     C-1- 6
<PAGE>

                  by IBM during such month. Until IBM implements a new Contact
                  Management system and the Parties agree otherwise, IBM shall
                  use this report to calculate the monthly Variable Service
                  Charges for the Inbound Contact Services.

            (iii) The Legacy Inbound Contact Reporting System does not count
                  (and IBM shall not charge for) Inbound Contacts that are not
                  answered by an Agent (e.g., abandoned calls, calls processed
                  by automated systems without Agent assistance).

            (iv)  To the extent they can be identified, Inbound Contacts
                  answered by an Agent and either disconnected or transferred
                  back to the same Agent queue shall be excluded from the volume
                  of chargeable Inbound Contact Transactions.

            (v)   IBM shall not implement Transformation or other activities
                  that will result in an increase in chargeable Inbound Contacts
                  without D&B's prior approval, which D&B may withhold in its
                  sole discretion. For example, if IBM segregates the Services,
                  such that third parties returning a phone call from an
                  Outbound Contact Agent are handled by Inbound Contact Agents
                  (in lieu of Agents performing the Outbound Service Request as
                  is D&B's current practice), then such Transformational
                  activity shall not increase the volume of chargeable Inbound
                  Contact Transactions.

            (vi)  Until IBM implements a Contact Management System, IBM shall
                  continue to receive Inbound Contacts from End Users in (or
                  concerning records located in) the U.S., Italy, the U.K.,
                  Benelux, and Canada through separate telephone, fax, e-mail,
                  and chat request channels. The channel through which an
                  Inbound Contact is received shall determine whether the
                  Inbound Contact will result in a U.S. Transaction described in
                  Section 3.1(b), a Canadian Transaction described in Section
                  3.1(c), or an Italian, UK, or Benelux Transaction described in
                  3.1(d).

            (vii) The following rules shall govern how Inbound Contacts during
                  which multiple transactions are requested shall be counted:

                  (A)   For U.S. and Canada Inbound Transactions, an Inbound
                        Contact cannot result in more than one Inbound Contact
                        Transaction charge. Inbound Contacts during which an End
                        User makes more than one request (e.g., first orders a
                        product and then asks a question about its contract
                        usage level or requests multiple products during a
                        single Contact) shall count as a single Inbound Contact
                        Transaction that is initially categorized by the Legacy
                        Inbound Contact Reporting System.

                  (B)   For Europe Inbound Transactions, an Inbound Contact may
                        result in more than one Inbound Contact Transaction

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     C-1- 7
<PAGE>

                        charge. To the extent performed by D&B Agents in Europe
                        prior to the Effective Date, IBM shall log each
                        transaction request made during an Inbound Contact as a
                        separate Inbound Contact Transaction (e.g., if an End
                        User requests 10 products during a single Contact, IBM
                        shall log 10 separate Inbound Contact Transactions).

            (viii) For purposes of this Section 3.1, "Full Time Equivalent" (or
                  "FTE") is a level of effort, excluding vacation and other
                  non-productive time, equivalent to that which one person
                  working full time would provide (at the rate of 160 hours per
                  month, plus a reasonable amount of overtime). D&B may add and
                  remove FTEs on 30 days notice to IBM.

      (b)   Inbound Contact Transactions - United States.

      Following is a listing and description of the types of Inbound Contact
Transactions that will be billed as U.S. Transactions when the Transaction is
performed in relation to a D&B customer account located in the U.S.:

            (i)   "Order Request - U.S." shall mean an order request by an End
                  User for a D&B Product that IBM processes and enters into the
                  appropriate D&B order entry system in accordance with Section
                  2.1 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services).

            (ii)  "DunsVoice Assistance Request - U.S." shall mean a request by
                  an End User for assistance using D&B's DunsVoice automated
                  ordering system that IBM resolves in accordance with Section
                  2.1 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services).

            (iii) "Customer Service Request - U.S." shall mean a request by an
                  End User for assistance with service related issues concerning
                  a customer account that IBM resolves in accordance with
                  Section 2.2 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services),
                  including account, credit rating, and payment questions;
                  requests for duplicate bills and product information;
                  complaints; questions concerning delivery of a report;
                  requests for removal from marketing files; non-technical
                  questions about a D&B tool or application; contract inquiries
                  (e.g., types of contracts available or usage requirements);
                  and other non-technical inquiries.

            (iv)  "Entity Query - U.S." shall mean a request by or on behalf of
                  a customer for information or corrections to data in its own
                  case file in the D&B database that IBM resolves in accordance
                  with Section 2.3 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services). For
                  clarification, Entity Queries are also referred to as "subject
                  queries" within D&B.

                  IBM's inbound team shall resolve all Entity Query - U.S.
                  requests, including those that require IBM to make Outbound
                  Contacts to resolve the query. An Entity Query - U.S. cannot
                  result in a

D&B / IBM Confidential

<PAGE>

                  chargeable Outbound Service Request. In contrast, complaints
                  about a third party report in the D&B database may result in
                  both a Customer Service Request charge and an outbound
                  Complaint or Service Failure charge.

            (v)   "Technical Support Request - U.S." shall mean a request by an
                  End User for technical assistance with D&B software, systems,
                  or products (e.g., assistance with navigation software,
                  setting up modems, using D&B systems through firewalls) that
                  IBM resolves in accordance with Section 2.4 of Exhibit A-1
                  (Contact Center Services).

            (vi)  "Usage Request - U.S." shall mean a request by an End User for
                  information about the volume of usage under the customer's D&B
                  contract or for an adjustment to the usage thresholds
                  documented in the customer's D&B contact that IBM resolves in
                  accordance with Section 2.5 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center
                  Services).

            (iii) "Gold Service FTE - U.S." shall mean one FTE used to provide
                  the Services described in Section 2.6 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact
                  Center Services) to Gold Service Customers in the U.S. The
                  Gold Service FTE - U.S. Transaction Service Charge in Exhibit
                  C-2 (Pricing Tables) applies to each FTE authorized by D&B and
                  necessary to provide such Services. The Gold Service FTE -
                  U.S. Transaction Service Charge shall be the only Service
                  Charge for the Gold Service Services in the U.S. (i.e.,
                  Inbound Contacts processed by Gold Service FTE's do not
                  generate chargeable Inbound Contact Transactions unless they
                  are transferred to non-Gold Service Agents for processing).

Inbound Contacts by or on behalf of D&B customer with D&B accounts located in
Canada:

      "Customer Service Request - Canada" shall mean any of the following
requests submitted during an Inbound Contact by or on behalf of D&B customers:

            (i)   An order request for a D&B Product that IBM processes and
                  enters into the appropriate D&B order entry system in
                  accordance with Section 2.1 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center

                  inquiries.

            (iii) A request by an End User for information or corrections to

                  Canada Customer Service Request charge and generate an
                  Outbound Service Request that is separately chargeable under
                  the applicable Transaction category below in Section 3.2.

                  with Section 2.4 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services)
                  (e.g., assistance with navigation software, setting up modems,
                  using D&B systems through firewalls).

            (v)   A request by an End User for information about the volume of
                  usage under its D&B contract or for an adjustment to the usage
                  thresholds documented in its D&B contract that IBM resolves in
                  accordance with Section 2.5 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center
                  Services).

            (vi)  A request by an End User for a contract administration Service
                  relating to its account (e.g., contract set-up, contract
                  renewal, name or address change, change of account alignment
                  for sales tracking) that IBM processes in accordance with
                  Section 8.1 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Service Levels).

            (vii)  A request from a Gold Service customer for any of the
                  information, products, or services described above in this
                  Section 3.1(c).

      (d)   Inbound Contact Transactions - Europe.

      There are three Inbound Contact Transactions applicable to Europe. For
each of these Transactions, there is a separate Service Charge for U.K., Italy,
and Benelux Transactions provided in Exhibit C-2 (Pricing Tables). The rules in
Section ERROR! REFERENCE SOURCE NOT FOUND. shall be used to determine whether
the Transaction will result in a U.K., Italy, or Benelux Service Charge.

            (i)   "Order Request - Europe" shall mean an order request from a
                  End User for a D&B Product that IBM processes and enters into
                  the appropriate D&B order entry system in accordance with
                  Section 2.1 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services).

                        delivery of a report; requests for removal from
                        marketing files; non-technical questions about a D&B

                        contracts available or usage requirements); and other
                        non-technical inquiries.

                  (B)   A request by an End User for information or corrections
                        to data in its own case file in the D&B database that

                        A-1 (Contact Center Services). For U.S., customers, this
                        type of Inbound Contact is considered an Entity Query
                        Request that IBM is required to resolve without

                        Services) (e.g., assistance with navigation software,
                        setting up modems, using D&B systems through firewalls).

                  (D)   A request by an End User for information about the
                        volume of usage under its D&B contract or for an

                  Italy Transaction Service Charge shall be the only Service
                  Charge for Gold Service Services in Italy (i.e., Inbound

                  Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services).

      3.3   Contract Administration Services

      There is one Transaction type - Contract Administration Request - U.S. -
that shall be measured and used to calculate IBM's Service Charges for the
Contract Administration Services described in Section 8.1 of Exhibit A-1
(Contact Center Services).

      (a) "Contract Administration Request - U.S." shall mean a request by an
End User for a contract administration Service relating to the customer's
account (e.g., contract set-up, contract renewal, name or address change, change
of account alignment for sales tracking) that IBM processes in accordance with
Section 8.1 of Exhibit A-1 (Contact Center Services).

      (b) IBM shall charge D&B for each Contract Administration Request - U.S.
that IBM fulfills. Until IBM implements the contact management system described
in Exhibit A-7-3 (Transformation Solution), chargeable Contract Administration
Requests - U.S. shall be counted using data from the D&B tracking systems used
as of the Effective Date.

      3.4   Contact Center Baseline True-up

      Following implementation of the contact management system described in
Exhibit A-7-3 (Transformation Solution), the Parties shall use the methodology
described in Section 8.6 of Schedule C (Charges) to revise the Transaction
definitions or counting rules in this Section 3 and the corresponding Variable
Service Charge unit rates in Exhibit C-2 (Pricing Tables).

4.    FINANCE PROCESSING

      4.1   Accounts Payable and Travel and Expense Transactions

      The Transaction type definitions and measurement information in this
Section 2.1 shall be used to calculate the Variable Service Charges for the
Accounts Payable and Travel and Expense processing Services IBM performs.

      (a)   AP and T&E Transaction Types

            (i)   "Manual AP Invoice" shall mean a single paper Invoice for
                  goods or services received from a D&B vendor with a unique
                  Invoice number and header that requires manual processing.

                  A Manual Invoice with a particular invoice number and header
                  submitted to IBM for processing can only result in one "Manual
                  Invoice" Transaction charge.

                  (A)   If IBM rejects or places "on-hold" a Manual Invoice
                        pending resolution of a dispute or other problem, there
                        shall be no additional charge for repeat processing of
                        any follow up

D&B / IBM Confidential

<PAGE>

                        documentation associated with the original AP Invoice
                        number and header.

                  (B)   If IBM rejects an AP Invoice and IBM issues a new AP
                        Invoice with a new invoice number and header, then IBM
                        may charge D&B for processing two AP Invoice
                        transactions.

            (ii)  "Electronic AP Upload" shall mean a single electronic file
                  from a D&B vendor containing one or more Invoices.

                  An Electronic AP Invoice can only result in one "Electronic AP
                  Upload" Transaction charge. This Service Charge includes all
                  activities required to process the Invoices contained in an
                  Electronic AP Upload, including manual processing required to
                  correct uploading and other errors occurring during the
                  auto-match process.

            (iii) "T&E Claim" shall mean a single paper or electronic claim form
                  filed by a D&B employee requesting reimbursement for business
                  travel and expenses.

                  Each T&E Claim processed by IBM shall result in a separate T&E
                  Claim Transaction charge. For example, if IBM rejects an
                  employee T&E Claim for failure to comply with D&B policies,
                  and then processes a second, updated T&E Claim from the same
                  employee, IBM may charge D&B for two T&E Claim Transactions.

      (b)   AP and T&E Transaction Counting Rules

            (i)   There are three AP and T&E Transaction types described in
                  Section 4.1(a). For each AP and T&E Transaction type, there is
                  a separate U.S., Canada, and Europe Service Charge provided in
                  Exhibit C-2 (Pricing Tables). The location of the D&B accounts
                  receivable ledger on which an AP Transaction is processed or
                  the location of the employee filing a T&E Claim shall
                  determine whether the Transaction will result in a U.S.,
                  Canada, or Europe Transaction Service Charge.

            (ii)  IBM shall charge D&B for each AP and T&E Transaction for which
                  IBM:

                  (A)   Performs the applicable processing activities described
                        in Section 1.5 of Exhibit A-4 (Finance Processing
                        Services), including correcting all errors and
                        successfully uploading 100% of the file;

                  (B)   Refers the Invoice (or Invoices in the case of an
                        Electronic Upload with multiple Invoices) or T&E Claim
                        and

                  (C)   Updates the appropriate Finance Processing systems to
                        reflect the time and manner in which the Transaction was

                                   EXHIBIT C-8
                       FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES MATRICES

1. INTRODUCTION

This Exhibit C-8 sets forth the financial responsibilities, including guiding
principles and limitations, for certain activities related to the Services
described in Schedule A. It does so by means of Financial Responsibility Models
("FRMs") - matrices that map the "FRM Activities" (defined below) against the
facility, hardware, software, and telecommunications components comprising the
service delivery environment.

Using color-coded matrices, the FRMs depict:

      -     the span of components comprising the Service Delivery Environment
            organized by classification and location type;

      -     the FRM Activities applicable to each category; and

      -     at each intersection of an component and an FRM Activity, the
            identification by color code of the party that is financially
            responsible for that FRM Activity with regard to that component.

Specifically, this Exhibit C-8 is organized as follows:

      1.    Introduction

      2.    Terminology

      3.    FRM Designations

      4.    General Principles

      5.    Exceptions and Clarifications (by Category)

      6.    Financial Responsibilities Matrices

      7.    Component Definitions

2. TERMINOLOGY

The following table sets forth the definitions of the various terms used in the
FRMs and this Exhibit C-8.

                                   GOVERNANCE

1. IN GENERAL

      1.1   IMPLEMENTATION OF GOVERNANCE MODEL

            (a)   This Schedule F provides an overview of the global
                  relationship and contract governance model and processes IBM
                  and D&B have agreed to follow:

                  (i)   to support and facilitate IBM's provision of the
                        Services in a consistent, integrated manner globally
                        across all Service Clusters and country locations;

                  (ii)  to provide leadership and direction for the relationship
                        over the Term;

                  (iii) to provide an escalation path and process and for the
                        resolution of issues that the line managers are unable
                        to resolve; and

                  (iv)  to report to D&B and IBM regarding each of the foregoing
                        areas.

            (b)   The Parties will identify and develop global processes,
                  procedures, and interaction protocols as necessary to
                  implement the roles and responsibilities described in this
                  Schedule F. These global processes, procedures, and
                  interaction protocols will be developed for consistent
                  application in all country locations and will be documented
                  and maintained on a continuous basis as reasonably necessary
                  throughout the Term. Such processes, procedures, and
                  interaction protocols will be designed to ensure that:

                  (i)    the Services are provided professionally, and in
                         accordance with the Agreement;

                  (ii)   the provision of Services is regularly monitored to
                         ensure compliance with the Service Levels, and that
                         appropriate timely action is taken to deal with any
                         problems or issues;

                  (iii)  the Services are carried out in accordance with D&B's
                         regulatory, compliance, audit and risk management
                         requirements;

                  (iv)   IBM undertakes its responsibilities in a timely and
                         professional manner;

<PAGE>

                  (v)    Changes are recorded and the Agreement is kept up to
                         date and is modified, as appropriate, to comply with
                         the changing requirements of D&B

                  (vi)   potential problems and issues are identified early and
                         resolved promptly in a co-operative manner;

                  (vii)  any disputes are resolved quickly, effectively and in a
                         co-operative and business-like manner;

                  (viii) In-Flight Projects, Transformation and Transition
                         Activities are completed within the agreed timescales;

                  (ix)   the Change Management Process is implemented correctly
                         and monitored by both parties; and

                  (x)    a forum for co-operative and pro-active management of
                         the Agreement is established.

            (c)   The parties will periodically (and at least once per annum)
                  review and update the contract management processes,
                  procedures, and interaction protocols. All such reviews will
                  be conducted and approved by the Executive Steering Committee.

      1.2   RELATIONSHIP AND CONTRACT GOVERNANCE MODEL

            (a)   IBM acknowledges that it is a key business requirement of
                  D&B's that IBM provide the Services in a consistent,
                  integrated manner globally across all countries and locations.
                  To meet that requirement, IBM has proposed and will adhere to
                  a global relationship and governance model and processes as
                  described in this Schedule F (Governance).

            (b)   The IBM Project Executive will be supported by IBM Regional
                  Project Executives (Regional PEs), , and regional and country
                  Delivery Project Executives (DPEs), whose roles and
                  responsibilities are set forth in this Schedule F
                  (Governance). The IBM Regional PE's will serve as the primary
                  points of contact with their respective D&B counterparts in
                  the regional and country locations.

            (c)   The governance organizations for the Transition Services and
                  Transformation Services are further described in Exhibit A-7-1
                  (Transition Solution) and Exhibit A-7-3 (Transformation
                  Solution). Such organizations shall report in to the IBM
                  Project Executive, the D&B Global Project Executive, and the
                  Executive Steering Committee.

                  responsibilities:

                  (i)    Provide experienced and skilled personnel focused on
                         the work of governance as described in this Schedule.

                         management oversight;

                  (ii)   Facilitate and negotiate changes to the scope of
                         Services, Statements of Work, performance requirements
                         and Charges;

                  (iii)  Jointly with D&B, resolve and manage any issues or
                         disputes between the Parties with respect to the
                         Agreement;

                  (iv)   Provide for continual linkage between the business
                         plans of D&B and the current and potential Services
                         provided by IBM to D&B;

                  (v)    Facilitate a process to ensure the Parties remain
                         aligned on the realization of the business benefits to
                         each Party that caused it to enter into the Agreement
                         while respecting the economic imperatives of each
                         Party;

                  (vi)   Implement and maintain service policies and procedures
                         in accordance with the Agreement;

                  (vii)  In an effective and efficient manner, jointly with D&B
                         resolve all problems, issues or exceptions arising in
                         connection with the performance of the Services under
                         the Agreement;

                  (viii) In collaboration with D&B, provide best practice
                         templates and tools to support the governance processes
                         and protocols described in this Schedule; and

                  (ix)   Produce all governance related deliverables per the
                         milestones and timelines agreed.

2. KEY ORGANIZATIONAL ROLES

      2.1   IBM PROJECT EXECUTIVE

            (a)   The IBM Project Executive shall (i) serve as the single point
                  of accountability for IBM for the Services and IBM's
                  relationship with D&B under the Agreement; (ii) have
                  day-to-day authority and responsibility for customer (i.e.,
                  D&B) satisfaction; (iii) work directly with D&B's Global
                  Project Executive, the Executive

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     F-4

<PAGE>

                  Steering Committee, and the Global Governance Team; (iv)
                  develop and maintain a keen understanding of D&B's business
                  requirements and applications; and (v) serve as D&B's advisor
                  as well as an advocate for D&B's interests within IBM.

            (b)   The IBM Project Executive will support the execution of all
                  key contract responsibilities and will serve as the
                  integration point for human resources, overall relationship
                  and contract financial management, audit readiness, change
                  management, global metrics and reporting, and contract
                  management. A principal objective of the IBM Project Executive
                  will be to integrate and manage the activities of the IBM
                  service delivery teams in the different country locations in
                  such a manner that they present a consistent, cohesive face to
                  D&B.

      2.2   IBM REGIONAL PROJECT EXECUTIVES

            (a)   In support of the IBM Project Executive, IBM will appoint
                  Regional Project Executives (Regional PEs) as it deems
                  necessary to support the Services. IBM may assign multiple
                  country locations to a single Regional PE. As of the Effective
                  Date, there are two Regional PEs; one in North America for the
                  United States and Canada, and one for Europe (located in the
                  United Kingdom. Each Regional PE performs two roles.

                  (i)    The Regional PE is responsible for the integration of
                         day-to-day operations and service performance for all
                         IBM personnel within the respective geographic region.
                         The Regional PE serves as the primary point of contact
                         and escalation for all service and contract related
                         issues.

                  (ii)   The Regional PE also provides consistency in processes,
                         delivery systems, tools deployments, infrastructure
                         deployment, alert management, and all cross-functional
                         Services to the extent reasonably possible. This role
                         also includes the deployment of consistent technologies
                         within the regional environments.

            (b)   The IBM Regional PEs are accountable to and subject to the
                  direction and supervision of the IBM Project Executive.

      2.3   IBM DELIVERY PROJECT EXECUTIVES

            (a)   IBM will also appoint regional Delivery Project Executives
                  (DPEs) responsible for the day-to-day operations and service
                  performance for all IBM processes, systems, and personnel
                  within their respective regions. This includes regional
                  service operations, quality of service, customer satisfaction,
                  Service Level measurements, achievement and reporting, alert
                  management, cross-functional elements, and partnerships with
                  other suppliers,

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                     F-5

<PAGE>

                  as required, to achieve the required level of performance
                  within the context of managing-the-whole. To best provide
                  customer visibility and responsiveness and so that employees
                  have access to a local IBM executive, the regional DPEs will
                  reside in their respective geographical regions.

            (b)   IBM may assign multiple DPEs within a region to focus on key
                  Service Clusters to provide appropriate attention to specific
                  service delivery issues.

            (c)   As determined by the scope and scale of services, IBM may
                  assign additional roles to the regional organization
                  structures to provide consistent and focused attention to
                  service deliverables and Service Levels.

            (d)   The IBM DPEs are accountable to and subject to the direction
                  and supervision of their respective IBM Regional PEs and the
                  IBM Project Executive.

      2.4   D&B GLOBAL PROJECT EXECUTIVE

            D&B will appoint a Global Project Executive to serve as the primary
      D&B counterpart to the IBM Project Executive.

      2.5   D&B REGIONAL PROGRAM MANAGERS

            (a)   D&B will designate a Regional Program Manager (Regional PM)
                  for each of the country locations. D&B may assign multiple
                  Country Locations to a single Regional PM. The D&B Regional
                  PMs will serve as the primary D&B counterparts to the IBM
                  Regional PEs. As such, the Regional PMs serve as the primary
                  points of contact and escalation for all service and
                  contract-related issues within their respective geographies.

            (b)   The D&B Regional PMs are accountable to and subject to the
                  direction and supervision of the D&B Global Project Executive.

3. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

      Following is a prototype description of certain organizational structures
the Parties may establish and use as input into their identification and
development of global governance bodies, processes, procedures, and interaction
protocols as described above. In particular, the Parties may elect to establish
jointly staffed Program/Project Management Offices instead of maintaining
separate organizations.

                        b)    Each of us will ensure that Personal Data is
                              protected in accordance with the security

                        c)    Each of us will ensure that any third party to
                              whom Personal Data is transferred is bound by the
                              applicable terms of these provisions.

         continue to be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions
         of the Member State in which the data exporter is established (and
         where applicable has been notified to the relevant authorities of that
         State) and does not violate the relevant provisions of that State;

(b)      that if the transfer involves special categories of data the data

(a)      that he has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to him
         prevents him from fulfilling his obligations under the contract and
         that in the event of a change in that legislation which is likely to
         have a substantial adverse effect on the guarantees provided by the
         Clauses, he will notify the change to the data exporter and to the
         supervisory authority where the data exporter is established, in which
         case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data
         and/or terminate the contract;

(b)      to process the personal data in accordance with the mandatory data
         protection principles set out in Appendix 2; or if explicitly agreed by

                  activity only, if the data importer is based in that third
                  country and is not covered by those provisions, in so far as
                  those provisions are of a nature which makes them applicable

         the required professional qualifications, selected by the data
         exporter, where applicable, in agreement with the supervisory
         authority;

(e)      to make available to the data subject upon request a copy of the

                                    LIABILITY

1.       The parties agree that a data subject who has suffered damage as a
         result of any violation of the provisions referred to in Clause 3 is
         entitled to receive compensation from the parties for the damage
         suffered. The parties agree that they may be exempted from this
         liability only if they prove that neither of them is responsible for
         the violation of those provisions.

2.       The data exporter and the data importer agree that they will be jointly
         and severally liable for damage to the data subject resulting from any
         violation referred to in paragraph 1. In the event of such a violation,
         the data exporter or the data importer or both.

3.       The parties agree that if one party is held liable for a violation
         referred to in paragraph 1 by the other party, the latter will, to the
         extent to which it is liable, indemnity the first part for any cost,
         charge, damages, expenses or loss it has incurred.

                           MEDIATION AND JURISDICTION

1.       The parties agree that if there is a dispute between a data subject and
         either party which is not amicably resolved and the data subject
         invokes the third-party beneficiary provision in clause 3, they accept
         the decision of the data subject;

         (a)      to refer the dispute to mediation by an independent person or,
                  where applicable, by the supervisory authority;

         (b)      to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in
                  which the data exporter is established.

2.       The parties agree that by agreement between a data subject and the
         relevant party a dispute can be referred to an arbitration body, if
         that party is established in a country which has ratified the New York
         convention on enforcement of arbitration awards.

3.       The parties agree that paragraphs 1 and 2 apply without prejudice to
         the data subject's substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in

                                   Appendix 2

                       TO THE STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES

MANDATORY DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES REFERRED TO IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF
CLAUSE 5(b)

These data protection principles should be read and interpreted in the light of
the provisions (principles and relevant exceptions) of Directive 95/46/EC.

They shall apply subject to the mandatory requirements of the national
legislation applicable to the data importer which do not go beyond what is
necessary in a democratic society on the basis of one of the interests listed in
Article 13(1) of Directive 95/46/EC, that is, if they constitute a necessary
measure to safeguard national security, defence, public security, the
prevention, investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences or of
breaches of ethics for the regulated professions, an important economic or
financial interest of the State or the protection of the data subject or the
rights and freedom of others.

1.       Purpose limitation: data must be processed and subsequently used or
         further communicated only for the specific purposes in Appendix 1 to
         the Clauses. Data must not be kept longer than necessary for the
         purposes for which they are transferred.

2.       Data quality and proportionality: data must be accurate and, where
         necessary, kept up to date. The data must be adequate, relevant and not
         excessive in relation to the purposes for which they are transferred
         and further processed.

3.       Transparency: data subjects must be provided with information as to the
         purposes of the processing and the identity of the data controller in
         the third country, and other information insofar as this is necessary
         to ensure fair processing, unless such information has already been
         given by the data exporter.

4.       Security and confidentiality: technical and organisational security
         measures must be taken by the data controller that are appropriate to
         the risks, such as unauthorised access, presented by the processing.
         Any person acting under the authority of the data controller, including
         a processor, must not process the data except on instructions from the
         controller.

5.       Rights of access, rectification, erasure and blocking of data: as
         provided for in Article 12 of Directive 95/46/EC, the data subject must
         have a right of access to all data relating to him that are processed
         and, as appropriate, the right to the rectification, erasure or
         blocking of data the processing of which does not comply with the
         principles set out in this Appendix, in particular because the data are
         incomplete or inaccurate. He should also be able to object to the
         processing of the data relating to him on compelling legitimate grounds
         relating to his particular situation.

6.       Restrictions on onwards transfers: further transfers of personal data
         from the data importer to another controller established in a third
         country not providing adequate protection or not covered by a decision
         adopted by the Commission pursuant to Article 25(6) of Directive
         95/46/EC (onward transfer) may take place only if either:

         (a)      data subjects have, in the case of special categories of data,
                  given their unambiguous consent to the onward transfer or, in
                  other cases, have been given the opportunity to object.

                  The minimum information to be provided to data subjects must
                  contain in a language understandable to them:

                  ____     the purposes of the onward transfer,

                  ____     the identification of the data exporter established
                           in the Community,

                  ____     the categories of further recipients of the data and
                           the countries of destination, and

D&B / IBM Confidential

                                      H3-8
<PAGE>

                  ____     an explanation that, after the onward transfer, the
                           data may be processed by a controller established in
                           a country where there is not an adequate level of
                           protection of the privacy of individuals; or

         (b)      the data exporter and the data importer agree to the adherence
                  to the Clauses of another controller which thereby becomes a
                  party to the Clauses and assumes the same obligations as the
                  data importer.

7.       Special categories of data: where data revealing racial or ethnic
         origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or trade
         union memberships and data concerning health or sex life and data
         relating to offences, criminal convictions or security measures are
         processed, additional safeguards should be in place within the meaning
         of Directive 95/46/EC, in particular, appropriate security measures
         such as strong encryption for transmission or such as keeping a record
         of access to sensitive data.

8.       Direct marketing: where data are processed for the purposes of direct
         marketing, effective procedures should exist allowing the data subject
         at any time to 'opt-out' from having his data used for such purposes.

9.       Automated individual decisions: data subjects are entitled not to be a
         subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing of
         data, unless other measures are taken to safeguard the individual's
         legitimate interests as provided for in Article 15(2) of Directive
         95/46/EC. Where the purpose of the transfer is the taking of an
         automated decision as referred to in Article 15 of Directive 95/46/EC,
         which produces legal effects concerning the individual or significantly
         affects him and which is based solely on automated processing of data
         intended to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to him, such as
         his performance at work, creditworthiness, reliability, conduct, etc.,
         the individual should have the right to know the reasoning for this.

                                   Appendix 3

                       TO THE STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES

MANDATORY DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES REFERRED TO IN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH OF
CLAUSE 5(b)

1.       Purpose limitation: data must be processed and subsequently used or
         further communicated only for the specific purposes in Appendix 1 to
         the Clauses. Data must not be kept longer than necessary for the
         purposes for which they are transferred.

2.       Rights of access, rectification, erasure and blocking of data: as
         provided for in Article 12 of directive 95/46/EC, the data subject must
         have a right of access to all data relating to him that are processed
         and, as appropriate, the right to the rectification, erasure or
         blocking of data the processing of which does not comply with the
         principles set out in this Appendix, in particular because the data is
         incomplete or inaccurate. He should also be able to object to the
         processing of the data relating to him on compelling legitimate grounds
         relating to his particular situation.

3.       Restrictions on onward transfers: further transfers of personal data
         from the data importer to another controller established in a third
         country not providing adequate protection or not covered by a decision
         adopted by the Commission pursuant to Article 25(6) of Directive
         95/46/EC (onwards transfer) may take place only if either:

         (a)      data subjects have, in the case of special categories pf data,
                  given their unambiguous consent to the onward transfer, or, in
                  other cases, have been given the opportunity to object.

         The minimum information to be provided to data subjects must contain in
         a language understandable to them:

                  a minimum limit adequate to cover risks on a replacement costs

      1.2   INSURANCE PROVISIONS.

            (a)   The insurance coverages described above shall be primary, and
                  all coverage shall be non-contributing with respect to any
                  other insurance or self insurance which may be maintained by
                  D&B. Supplier shall be responsible for all deductibles and
                  retentions with regard to such insurance. All coverage
                  described above shall include a waiver of subrogation and a
                  waiver of any insured-versus-insured exclusion regarding D&B
                  and its Affiliates. To the extent any coverage is written on a
                  claims-made basis, it shall have a retroactive date no earlier
                  than the Effective Date and, notwithstanding the termination
                  of the Agreement, either directly or through `tail' coverage
                  shall allow for reporting of claims until the applicable
                  limitation of actions period has expired.

            (b)   Supplier shall cause its insurers to issue certificates of
                  insurance evidencing that the coverages and policy
                  endorsements required under the Agreement are maintained in
                  force and that not less than thirty (30) days written notice
                  shall be given to D&B prior to any modification, cancellation
                  or non-renewal of the policies. The insurers selected by
                  Supplier shall have an A.M. Best rating of A-, Size IX or
                  better, or, if such ratings are no longer available, with a
                  comparable rating from a recognized insurance rating agency.
                  Supplier shall ensure that all Approved Subcontractors, if
                  any, maintain insurance coverages described above naming
                  Supplier as an additional insured or loss payee where relevant
                  or Supplier shall ensure that all Approved Subcontractors, if
                  any, are endorsed as additional insureds on Supplier coverages
                  described above.

            (c)   In the case of loss or damage or other event that requires
                  notice or other action under the terms of any insurance

                                      L-2

<PAGE>

                  coverage described above, Supplier shall be solely responsible
                  to take such action. Supplier shall provide D&B with
                  contemporaneous notice and with such other information as D&B
                  may request regarding the event.

            (d)   The maintenance of the insurance coverages required under this
                  Agreement shall in no way operate to limit the liability of
                  IBM to Equifax under the provisions of this Agreement.

            (e)   The Parties do not intend to shift all risk of loss to
                  insurance. Supplier's obligation to maintain insurance
                  coverage in specified amounts shall not act as a limitation on
                  any other liability or obligation which Supplier would
                  otherwise have under the Agreement. Similarly, the naming of
                  D&B and its Affiliates as additional insureds is not intended
                  to be a limitation of Supplier's liability under the Agreement
                  and shall in no event be deemed to, or serve to, limit
                  Supplier's liability to D&B to available insurance coverage or
                  to the policy limits specified in this Schedule M, nor to
                  limit D&B's rights to exercise any and all remedies available
                  to D&B under the Agreement, at law or in equity.

                                   SCHEDULE M
                             EXISTING D&B RESOURCES

1.    GENERAL PROVISIONS

      This Schedule M identifies certain assets and facilities of D&B (the "D&B
Resources") that IBM may use to provide the Services as further described in the
Technical Solution Documents attached to Schedule A (IBM Services and Solution)
(collectively, the "Technical Solution"). This Schedule M also sets forth the
duration of such use. Except to the extent IBM's Technical Solution provides for
IBM's use of D&B Resources referenced in this Schedule M, IBM shall provide all
resources and related infrastructure required to provide the Services. For the
avoidance of doubt, this Schedule M does not include any provisions relating to
human resources which are incorporated elsewhere in this Agreement.

            (a)   IBM may not use D&B Resources to provide services for IBM's
                  other customers or for any purpose other than providing
                  Services for D&B. The use of such D&B Resources by IBM does
                  not constitute a leasehold or other property interest in favor
                  of IBM.

            (b)   IBM shall use the D&B Resources in an efficient manner and in
                  a manner that is coordinated, and does not interfere, with
                  D&B's business operations. If IBM uses D&B Resources in a
                  manner that unnecessarily increases costs incurred by D&B, D&B
                  reserves the right to deduct such excess costs from the
                  amounts otherwise due IBM.

            (c)   IBM shall be responsible for any damage to the D&B Resources
                  resulting from the abuse, misuse, neglect or gross negligence
                  of IBM or other failures by IBM to comply with its obligations
                  with respect to the D&B Resources.

            (d)   IBM shall comply with the duties imposed on D&B by any leases
                  corresponding to leased D&B Resources.

            (e)   IBM shall not make any improvements or changes involving
                  structural, mechanical or electrical alterations to the D&B
                  Resources without D&B's prior written approval. Any
                  improvements to the D&B Resources, whether owned or leased,
                  will become the property of D&B.

            (f)   When the D&B Resources are no longer required for performance
                  of the Services, upon D&B's request, IBM shall return such D&B
                  Resources to D&B in substantially the same condition as when
                  IBM began use of such D&B Resources, subject to reasonable
                  wear and tear.

                  resources D&B will provide for IBM Personnel located in such
                  D&B Facility.

            (b)   IBM shall keep the areas of the D&B Facilities it uses in good
                  order, not commit or permit waste or damage to such
                  facilities, not use such facilities for any unlawful purpose
                  or act, and comply with D&B's standard policies and procedures

                     works with these customers to determine
                     their business rules for RAM, and they set
                     up a RAM database on a desktop machine in
                     the CIC. Each CIC desktop points to the RAM
                     database on a disk share. When one of the
                     Real Time
                     Decisioning customers calls in, they
                     provide the company information, the CIC
                     connects to the database and pulls down the
                     RAM scoring for that company, using the
                     decisioning rules set up for the customer.
                     The score information is returned to the
                     customer. The software is stock RAM.
                     Shared/Desktop means that one machine holds
                     the RAM database, which is accessed through
                     a share from each CIC desktop.
