        4.1 SUPPORT OF DYNAMIC PRICING FUNCTIONS. Premier shall provide support
to PHx of PHx's Dynamic Pricing functions. The services to be provided by
Premier are in the following areas:

        (a)  Opportunity Identification: Premier's Services will include working
             with PHx in identifying dynamic pricing opportunities. It is
             understood that Premier's focus in this regard is on building
             programs that respond to member needs. Premier shall be responsible
             for identifying dynamic pricing opportunities and developing member
             engagement processes that identify dynamic pricing opportunities.
             These Premier activities would include staff/member education and
             the creation of an opportunity pipeline as well as facilitating
             knowledge transfer between various opportunity channels and dynamic
             pricing. Dynamic pricing opportunities will be prioritized by real
             member need and scale of opportunity. It is understood and expected
             that PHx will also be identifying Dynamic Pricing opportunities and
             communicating those to Premier for analysis and development.
             Opportunities identified by Premier Members will be considered to
             possess adequate value and will be developed for consideration.

        (b)  Opportunity Analysis, Development and Maintenance: Once
             opportunities are identified and agreed upon by Premier and PHx,
             Premier's Services will include undertaking an analysis of such
             opportunities and a determination of the value potential. Once it
             has been determined by Premier and PHx that an opportunity
             possesses adequate value potential, the opportunity will be further
             developed by



                                       3

             Premier. These Premier activities include identifying various
             manufacturers, negotiating vendor participation (and agreements as
             necessary to support participation) and supporting a network
             database of qualified suppliers relative to the supported
             opportunities.

        (c)  Market Development: Premier's services shall also include market
             development activities which are intended to maximize participation
             within dynamic pricing by creating "markets" for events such as
             reverse auctions. The Premier Resources focussed on market
             development will be responsible for a calendar of events and
             maximizing membership participation by utilizing a variety of
             Premier Resources, PHx Resources and other appropriate marketing
             vehicles. Premier will work with PHx in including and maximizing
             participation by non-Premier customers of PHx.

        (d)  Process Management: Premier's Services shall also include process
             management that includes the dynamic pricing back office function.
             The process management services include engaging buyers and sellers
             through various events meant to maximize the value dynamic pricing
             delivers to participants. This service also includes activities
             such as receiving incoming requests, identifying buyers,
             communicating requests to buyers, returning quotes to participants
             and members, facilitating transactions and all follow-up between
             events.

        (e)  Revenue Management: Premier Services shall also include revenue
             management activities that include tracking transactions,
             maximizing qualified supplier remittance of transaction fees,
             billing qualified suppliers for owed transaction fees and other
             accounts receivable management.

        4.2 SERVICES IN GENERAL. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Premier
shall provide such professional and technical personnel and other Premier
Resources as shall be required to perform the services.

        4.3 SPACE AND FACILITIES. When Services are performed by Premier at PHx
sites, PHx will provide a reasonable work environment to the extent reasonably
necessary for Premier personnel to perform services under this Agreement.

        4.4 TIMELY ACTION. PHx will make decisions and communicate information
in a timely manner to enable Premier to provide the services in accordance with
this Agreement.

        4.5 DESIGNATED CONTACT. PHx shall designate in writing a key contact for
interaction and management of the services to be provided under this Article.

        4.6 PREFERRED PROVIDER. PHx agrees that Premier shall be the preferred
provider of Dynamic Pricing support for PHx. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent other non-Premier affiliated customers
of PHx from providing similar support or services.
