and Order by and among the Debtors, Savvis and MCI, dated March 22, 2001 (the
"MCI Stipulation"); and (b) the Stipulation and Order by and among the Debtors,

share the responsibility for making the Stipulated Payments and to satisfy
Bridge Inc.'s post-petition obligations under the Services Agreement as follows:

         NOW, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and among the undersigned,
counsel of record of the Debtors and Savvis that

             1. Except as provided hereunder, the Debtors and Savvis shall make
Stipulated Payments directly to Sprint and MCI according to the allocation set
forth in the attached Schedule A. Such payments shall be modified as required by
the Telco Stipulations. Any modifications to weekly prepayments pursuant to any
of the Telco Stipulations to the extent different than that shown on Schedule A
shall be shared by the Debtors and Savvis as the Parties may hereinafter agree
or absent such agreement as ordered by the Court.

             2. The Debtors shall also make payments directly to Savvis as
indicated on Schedule A (the "Savvis Payments"). Savvis shall apply the Savvis
Payments first to, and to the extent necessary to satisfy, its share of the
payments to Telcos indicated on Schedule A and to satisfy the claims of any
other Telcos that provide Savvis Services.

             3. All Savvis Payments shall be funded by wire transfer to Savvis
and shall be accompanied by a written notice (by facsimile or electronic mail)

setting forth that each Savvis Payment has been made, the date of such Savvis
Payment, and wire transfer tracking information including the account into which
the transfer was made. Savvis shall provide the Debtors with the appropriate
wire transfer information to enable the Debtors to wire the Savvis Payments.

             4. To the extent that any of the Savvis Payments are not timely
made by the Debtors, such amounts shall be afforded administrative priority
status pursuant to 11 U.S.C. ss. 503(b)(1), and Savvis reserves the right to
seek additional priority status.

             5. Savvis's post-petition claim against the Debtors for services
rendered under the Services Agreement shall be reduced by all payments made by
the Debtors to the Telcos or Savvis pursuant to this Stipulation.

             6. To the extent that this Stipulation is inconsistent with the
terms and provisions of the Telco Stipulations, the terms of the Telco
Stipulations shall control.

             7. The Debtors and Savvis reserve any and all rights to claim or
oppose a set-off or recoupment against any obligations owed by either Party, and
this Stipulation shall not be considered a waiver of such rights, provided,
however, that the Parties shall not claim any set-off, recoupment or other such
rights to modify or alter their obligations to make the payments as set forth in
Schedule A.

             8. All actions and proceedings relating to disputes between the
Parties arising out of Savvis's failure to make payments for Savvis Services
pursuant to this Stipulation or otherwise arising out of this Stipulation shall
be heard and determined pursuant to the exclusive jurisdiction of this Court.

each of which shall be an original but such counterparts shall together
