BRIDGE INFORMATION SYSTEMS,           Case No. 01-41593-293
INC.

                  Debtor.             Honorable David P. McDonald
                                      United States Bankruptcy Judge
--------------------------------------



                 STIPULATION AND ORDER BY AND AMONG AT&T CORP.,
             BRIDGE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC., AS DEBTOR AND DEBTOR-
              IN-POSSESSION, AND SAVVIS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION

         AT&T Corp.  ("AT&T"),  Bridge  Information  Systems,  Inc., its related
debtor   entities   ("Bridge"),    and   Savvis    Communications    Corporation
("Savvis")(collectively  "Bridge/Savvis")("AT&T",   "Bridge"  and  "Savvis"  are
collectively  referred to as the  "Parties"),  by and through  their  respective
counsel  of record,  and  having  been fully  advised  and  informed,  do hereby
stipulate and agree as follows:
                                    RECITALS

         A.  Bridge  and  21  related  entities  filed  a  voluntary  bankruptcy
petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy Code on February 15,
2001 (the "Petition Date").

         B. Bridge has  continued  to operate its business and manage its assets
as  a  debtor-in-possession  pursuant  to  Sections  1107(a)  and  1108  of  the
Bankruptcy  Code.  Savvis is an affiliate of Bridge,  has not filed a bankruptcy
petition, and is not a debtor or debtor-in-possession.

<PAGE>


         C. AT&T  provides  certain  telecommunications  and related  service to
Bridge and Savvis under applicable  tariffs and certain  agreements  between the
Parties.  AT&T has  undertaken  to estimate the cost of the services  desired by
Bridge and Savvis, and has concluded, with the consent of Bridge/Savvis, that in
the aggregate,  regular  recurring charges for such services are expected to run
approximately $450,000 per week.

         D. Since the filing of the Bridge  bankruptcy cases, AT&T has continued
to provide "local service" and "long distance service" (together, "Services") to
Bridge and Savvis. In addition, Upon motion of the Debtors, the Court entered an
ex parte order on February 16, 2001 (the "Utility  Order")  compelling AT&T, and
other utilities, to continue to render such Services during the pendency of this
Chapter 11 case to both Bridge and to Savvis - relative to Services  provided by
AT&T, and other  utilities,  directly to Bridge and Services  provided to Savvis
and then passed through to Bridge (the "Bridge Pass-Through").

         E.  Thereafter,  pursuant  to the  provisions  set forth in the Utility
Order, AT&T sent a demand for additional adequate assurances to the Debtor.

         F.  Thereafter,  AT&T  filed a Motion  for an Order  (A)  Vacating  the
Utility Order (1) Restraining Utilities from Discontinuing, Altering or Refusing
Service  Pursuant to 11 U.S.C.  ss. 366,  and (2)  Establishing  Procedures  for
Determining  Adequate Assurances and (B) Declaring that AT&T Corp. is Authorized
to Terminate Services to Savvis Communications  Corporation (the "Motion").  The
hearing relative to AT&T's Motion was scheduled for April 4, 2001.

                                       2

<PAGE>


         G. The Parties have met and conferred in an effort to resolve  disputes
concerning  the  terms  under  which  AT&T will  withdraw  the  Motion,  without
prejudice, and will continue to render their Services to Bridge/Savvis.

         H. The Parties agree that the total undisputed amount in arrears due to
AT&T by Bridge and Savvis  through March 31, 2001,  excluding  costs  associated
with pre-petition  AT&T Services provided directly to Bridge,  totals $5,235,000
(the "Undisputed Arrears").

         I. This  stipulation  and  proposed  order is  intended  to resolve the
controversies  described  above,  and set forth the terms and  conditions  under
which AT&T will  provide  Services  to Bridge and Savvis  during the  Chapter 11
proceedings.

                                  STIPULATION

         NOW THEREFORE,  in consideration  of the foregoing,  the Parties hereby
stipulate and agree:

               represents  (i) a $2,350,000  partial  payment of the  Undisputed
               Arrears, (ii) a $200,000 partial refundable security deposit; and
               (iii)  a  $450,000  payment  for  Services  provided  by  AT&T to

and adjust the amounts payable pursuant to this Stipulation, as follows:

         a. Should the Weekly  Pre-payments be insufficient or should there be a
material  increase or decrease in the  post-petition  charges due AT&T,  AT&T or
Bridge/Savvis,  should  either  party  so  request  ("Adjustment  Request"),  is
entitled  to an  immediate  increase  or  decrease  in the  amount of the Weekly
Pre-payments  set forth in  paragraph  1.e  herein,  commencing  with the Weekly
Pre-payment following such Adjustment Request, and such amount shall be equal to
the total weekly  charges that accrued  during the week prior to any  Adjustment
Request;  provided however, in the event Bridge/Savvis or AT&T reasonably and in
good faith  dispute any  Adjustment  Request,  and  Bridge,  Savvis and AT&T are
unable to resolve any such dispute,  Bridge/Savvis  shall not be deemed to be in
violation or default under this  Stipulation and Order so long as  Bridge/Savvis
petitions the  Bankruptcy  Court within five (5) business days of the Adjustment
Request for  resolution of the Adjustment  Request,  and agrees to abide by such
relief as the Bankruptcy Court may order.

                                       5

<PAGE>

         b. To the extent  that in any given  month the  charges due AT&T exceed
the  Weekly   Pre-payments   made  to  AT&T  by  Bridge/Savvis  in  such  month,
Bridge/Savvis  shall,  within three (3) business days of notification by AT&T (a
"Deficiency  Request"),  pay to AT&T  sufficient  funds to cure the  deficiency,

<PAGE>


         d. To the extent  that in any given  month the  charges due to AT&T are
less than the Weekly  Pre-payments  made by  Bridge/Savvis  in such month,  AT&T
shall be permitted to apply such funds to any outstanding  post-petition balance
due AT&T.  To the extent there is no  outstanding  post-petition  balance due to
AT&T,  then  such  amounts  shall be  credited  against  the  subsequent  Weekly
Pre-payments  which would be due from  Bridge/Savvis  to AT&T.

         3.  Default.   If  Bridge/Savvis   fail  to  make  any  of  the  Weekly
Pre-payments  on a Payment  Date,  AT&T is  authorized  to suspend all  Services
rendered by AT&T to  Bridge/Savvis  unless,  within 48 hours after AT&T provides
written notice of such default to Bridge/Savvis, Bridge/Savvis cure such default
(the  "Weekly  Pre-payment  Cure  Period").  If  Bridge/Savvis  fail to make any
payments,  other than the Weekly Pre-payments,  provided for in this Stipulation
and Order,  or if  Bridge/Savvis  otherwise  fail to comply  with any other term
contained  herein,  or in any agreement  between Bridge,  Savvis and AT&T or the
tariffs  filed by AT&T with the FCC or other  regulatory  bodies with respect to
Bridge/Savvis's   post-petition   obligations  as  set  forth  herein,  AT&T  is
authorized   to  suspend  or  terminate   all  Services   rendered  by  AT&T  to
Bridge/Savvis unless, within 24 hours after AT&T provides written notice of such
default to Bridge/Savvis,  Bridge/Savvis cures such default (the "Cure Period").
Any payments by Bridge/Savvis  within the Weekly  Pre-payment Cure Period and/or
the Cure Period shall be made in compliance with paragraph 1.f above. Any notice
of default given by AT&T to Bridge/Savvis  shall be directed to Bridge's counsel
and Savvis's counsel as follows:
