     (b)  Performance Requirements/Escalation Procedures.
          ----------------------------------------------

          (i)  Company shall use reasonable efforts and capable expertise to
resolve Customer inquiries; provided that Company shall, at a minimum, follow
all policies and procedures set forth in any training materials as described in
Section 2(j).

          (ii) Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Exhibit A1-A3,
Company shall meet or exceed the following Service Level Requirements:

             [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

              Microsoft Confidential                                           2
<PAGE>

For telephone calls, the "Service Level" will represent the percentage of calls
presented to the Company's ACD that are answered by a Support Professional
within the specified timeframe.  For e-mail inquiries, the "Service Level
Requirement" will represent the percentage of inquiries answered between the
time at which an e-mail inquiry entered the Company's mailbox and the time at
which a reasonable response resolving the matter was sent back to the originator
of the e-mail inquiry. Company's compliance with the Service Level Requirements
will be calculated on a monthly basis using the average of all of the days of
the month.

In any calendar month when Company fails to meet a particular Service Level
Requirement for a given Service (i.e. telephone call or e-mail inquiry) the
following Performance Adjustment Deduction, unless otherwise specified on the
applicable Exhibit A1-A3, will be credited against that particular month's
applicable Fees for that Service:

             [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

In the event, however, that the actual call volume received for a given month
exceeds 110% of the forecasted amount and Company has achieved the forecasted
number of Handled Calls as Microsoft has forecasted for that month, Company will
be relieved of all service level penalties.

Under no circumstances shall Company implement a "forced busy signal" or in any
other way block call or e-mail traffic without Microsoft's express written
consent.  For any day during which unauthorized busy signals or blocking are
implemented, that day's performance will be counted as zero percent (0 %) for
the purposes of calculating a deduction in Service Fees.

          (iii)  Customer Surveys. Unless otherwise specified on the applicable
                 ----------------
Exhibit A1-A3, Company shall ensure that at least [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] of the Customers surveyed rate the service provided by
Company "Very Satisfied" (the "Single Quality Service Requirement") and at least
[REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] surveyed rate the service
either "Very Satisfied" or "Somewhat Satisfied" (the "Combined Quality Service
Requirement") as measured in "Quality Service Monitor Surveys." Such surveys may
be conducted by Microsoft or a third party survey vendor selected by Microsoft
("Surveyor") on a quarterly basis, or more or less frequently as reasonably
determined by Microsoft. Company shall cooperate with Surveyor in providing the
names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers of all Customers who have contacted
Company for support during the survey period, and this data shall be provided
within twenty-four (24) hours from the time of the Customer contacting Company.
The Surveyor, at Microsoft's expense, will select the respondents, call back
after service has been delivered, administer the survey,

calculate the results and report the results to Microsoft and Company within a
mutually agreed upon time frame. In the event that Company's actual performance
is less than the Quality Service Requirement, a deduction will be credited
against the total amount of the per minute rate applicable for that particular
month (or other time period as may be determined by Microsoft) as specified in
Section 4(a). In the event that Company's actual performance is greater than the
Quality Service Requirement, a positive adjustment will be made to the amount of
the per minute rate applicable for that particular month (or other time period
as may be determined by Microsoft) as specified in Section 4(a).

          (iv)  Escalation Procedures. In the event Company is unable to resolve
                ---------------------

in the event of any disruption in service from any cause, including but not

             [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

                 -----------

          (iii)  Adjustments.  The foregoing fees are subject to adjustments,
                 -----------
deductions or credits to such amounts as provided for in this Agreement.

     (b)  Taxes.
          ------

          (i)    The amounts to be paid by Microsoft to Company herein do not
include any foreign, U.S. federal, state, local, municipal or other governmental
taxes, duties, levies, fees, excises or tariffs, arising as a result of or in
connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement including,
without limitation, (A) any state or local sales or use taxes now or hereafter
imposed on the provision of goods and services to Microsoft by Company under
this Agreement, (B) taxes imposed or based on or with respect to or measured by
any net or gross income or receipts of Company, (C) any franchise taxes, taxes
on doing business, gross receipts taxes or capital stock taxes (including any
minimum taxes and taxes measured by any item of tax preference), (D) any taxes
imposed or assessed after the date upon which this Agreement is terminated, (E)
taxes based upon or imposed with reference to Company's real and/or personal
property ownership and (F) any taxes similar to or in the nature of those taxes
described in (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) above, now or hereafter imposed on
Company (or any third parties with which Company is permitted to enter into
agreements relating to its undertakings hereunder) (all such amounts,

                             Microsoft Confidential                           10
<PAGE>

together with any penalties, interest or any additions thereto, collectively
"Taxes"). Microsoft is not liable for any Taxes incurred in connection with or
related to the sale of goods and services under this Agreement, and all such
Taxes shall be the financial responsibility of Company, provided that Microsoft
shall pay to Company Collected Taxes in accordance with subsection (ii) below.
Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Microsoft harmless from any Taxes
(other than Collected Taxes) or claims, causes of action, costs (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) and any other liabilities of any
nature whatsoever related to such Taxes.

          (ii)   Any sales or use  taxes described in (i)(A) above that (A) are
owed by Microsoft solely as a result of entering into this Agreement, the
provision of services by Company under this Agreement, and the payment of the
fees hereunder, (B) are required to be collected from Microsoft by Company under
applicable law, and (C) are based solely upon the amounts payable under this
Agreement (such taxes the "Collected Taxes"), shall be stated separately as
applicable on Company's invoices and shall be remitted by Microsoft to Company,
and as required Company shall remit to Microsoft official tax receipts
indicating that such Collected Taxes have been paid by Company. Microsoft may
provide to Company an exemption certificate acceptable to the relevant taxing
authority (including without limitation a resale certificate) in which case
Company shall not collect the taxes covered by such certificate. Company agrees
to take such steps as are reasonably requested by Microsoft to minimize such
Collected Taxes in accordance with all relevant laws and to cooperate with and
assist Microsoft, at Microsoft's request and cost, in challenging the validity
of any Collected Taxes or taxes otherwise paid by Microsoft. Company shall
indemnify and hold Microsoft harmless from any Collected Taxes, penalties,
interest, or additions to tax arising from amounts paid by Microsoft to Company
under this Agreement, that are asserted or assessed against Microsoft to the
extent such amounts relate to amounts that have already been paid to or
collected by Company from Microsoft under this section. If any taxing authority
refunds any tax to Company which Microsoft originally paid to Company, or
Company otherwise becomes aware that any tax was incorrectly and/or erroneously
collected from Microsoft, or Company otherwise receives an economic benefit
(such as an audit offset) as the result of incorrectly and/or erroneously
receiving Collected Taxes from Microsoft, then Company shall promptly remit to
Microsoft an amount equal to such refund, incorrect collection or tax benefit as
the case may be.

          (iii)  If taxes are required to be withheld on any amounts otherwise
to be paid by Microsoft to Company, Microsoft will deduct such taxes from the
amount otherwise owed and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority. At
Company's written request and expense, Microsoft will use reasonable efforts to
cooperate with and assist Company in obtaining tax certificates or other
appropriate documentation evidencing such payment, provided, however, that the
responsibility for such documentation shall remain with Company.

          (iv)   This tax section shall govern the treatment of all taxes
arising as a result of or in connection with this Agreement notwithstanding any
other section of this Agreement.

     (c)  Invoices. Payment terms are net [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR
          --------
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] days after receipt of a valid invoice. A valid invoice
shall: (i) be printed on official Company letterhead; (ii) be in hard copy; and
(iii) include backup documentation reasonably acceptable to Microsoft that
reconciles the amount(s) summarized in the invoice. Company shall submit each
invoice to Microsoft no later than [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT] days after the last day of the applicable calendar month. Failure by
Company to submit any invoices as required herein for a period in excess of
[REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] days shall, at Microsoft's
option, relieve Microsoft of its obligation to pay for said invoices. In
addition, Company shall provide an estimate of charges for the month in
accordance with the dates outlined in conjunction with Microsoft's fiscal
calendar. If Microsoft and Company disagree on the amount indicated as due in an
invoice, then Microsoft will pay all undisputed portions of the invoice in
accordance with this Section (c) and will provide Company with written notice of
the disputed amount within [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]
days of Microsoft's receipt of the applicable invoice and a representative from
each of Company and Microsoft shall meet within [REDACTED DUE TO REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] days of such written notice and shall negotiate

in good faith to resolve such dispute within five (5) days. Any resolution of
such dispute shall not preclude Microsoft from performing an audit as specified
in Section 11. Payment by Microsoft of any invoices furnished pursuant to this
Agreement shall not preclude Microsoft from questioning the correctness thereof
at any time, up to one (1) year after receipt of the applicable invoice, and in
the event that any mistake is discovered in any such invoice, and Company is
apprised of it, Company shall immediately rectify the mistake.

2(e) of this Agreement.  During the Term and for a period of two (2) years
following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Microsoft shall have
the right to cause an audit and/or inspection to be made of the applicable
Company records and facilities in order to verify statements issued by Company
and Company's compliance with the terms of this Agreement.  Any such audit shall
be conducted by an independent certified public accountant selected by Microsoft
(other than on a contingent fee basis).  Any audit and/or inspection shall be
conducted during regular business hours at Company's facilities with or without
notice.  Company agrees to provide Microsoft's designated audit or inspection
team access to the relevant Company records and facilities.  Such audits shall
be made no more often than once every twelve (12) months.  If an audit reveals
that Company has over-billed Microsoft by five percent (5%) or more of the
amounts billed for any audited period of time, Company agrees, in addition to
recomputing and making immediate payment to Microsoft of all amounts over-
billed, plus interest at the highest prime rate set forth from time to time in
the Wall Street Journal in the United States plus two percentage points (or, if
less, at a rate equal to the highest rate permitted under applicable law), based
on the actual and true amounts over billed, to pay Microsoft all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Microsoft in conducting such audit, including,
but not limited to, any amounts paid to any auditor or attorney.

made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

     (f)  Enforceability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
          --------------
conflicts with governing law or if any provision is held to be null, void or
otherwise ineffective or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, (i) such

original intentions of the Parties in accordance with applicable law, and (ii)
the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement

assigns.

     (j)  Inability to Perform. If either party is unable to perform under this
          --------------------
Agreement due to circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control, and
which could not by reasonable diligence have been avoided, such party shall have
the option subject to the approval of the other party, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, without liability, of suspending performance of its
obligations under this Agreement for the duration of such contingency upon
written notice to the other party; provided, however, that if Company suspends
its performance pursuant hereto, Microsoft's obligations to make any payments to
Company shall be suspended until Company resumes rendering the Services in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Such causes shall include without
limitation acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics,
governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line
failures, failures of third party vendors, power failures, earthquakes, floods
