PART 1 - GENERAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.1  DEFINITIONS
     -----------

     "Equipment" is a machine, including its features, conversions, upgrades,
     elements, or accessories, or any combination of them.  The term "Equipment"
     includes Splitrock Equipment and any non-Splitrock Equipment we provide to
     you, but excludes Programs.

     "Materials" are work products (such as programs, program listings,
     programming tools, documentation, reports, and drawings) that we may
     deliver to you during a project.  The term "Materials" does not include
     Programs.

     "Product" is a Program or Equipment.

     "Program" is the following, including features and any whole or partial
     copies:

          1.   machine-readable instructions;
          2.   a collection of machine-readable data, such as a data base; and
          3.   related licensed materials, including documentation and listings,
               in any form.

          The term "Program" includes a Splitrock Program and any non-Splitrock
          Program that we may provide to you.  The term does not include
          licensed internal code or Materials.

     "Services" as used herein describes the network services (not to include
     satellite) we will provide, as more particularly described in Section 6.1.
     In addition, any new service you request or additional service you request,
     not already contemplated by this Agreement, and that we agree to provide is
     not the subject of this Agreement until the terms, conditions and prices of
     such service shall be confirmed in Transaction Documents.  In addition,
     Services provided to you hereunder shall include reports, surveys and
     analysis reasonably required to fulfill the purposes of this Agreement, and
     shall not be subject to any additional charge.

     "Subscriber" is any user authorized to access basic Prodigy Classic or
     basic Prodigy Internet (as they currently exist), regardless of whether
     such user actually uses your services in any month or regardless of whether
     or not you receive payment from that user.

     "Subscriber Count" shall mean the total number of Subscribers, subject to
     the limitations in this definitional paragraph.  For Prodigy Classic,
     multiple User Identifications

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
     associated with one Subscriber will count as one Subscriber in the
     Subscriber Count. For Prodigy Internet, multiple User Identifications
     associated with one Subscriber will count as one Subscriber in the
     Subscriber Count, provided only one such User Identification per Subscriber
     can access the Service at any one time. A Subscriber to both Prodigy
     Classic and Prodigy Internet under the "Prodigy Combo Plan" will count as
     one Subscriber in the Subscriber Count. Any Subscriber who is not capable
     of accessing the Service shall not be counted in the Subscriber Count.

     "System" is the Services and Products we provide together under this
     Agreement that we identify to you as a System, which identification is in
     writing.

     "Transition Period" is the period from July 1, 1997 until the earlier of
     (i) December 31, 1997 or (ii) on the effective date of a notice from
     Provider stating that it intends to terminate the Transition Services
     Agreement which effective date may only be the last day of a calendar
     month.

     "User Identification" is a code or codes which enable authorization or
     access to programs, data or equipment through a Service.

1.2  AGREEMENT STRUCTURE
     -------------------

     Attachments
     -----------

     Some Services and Products have terms in addition to those we specify in
     this Agreement.  We will provide the additional terms in documents called
     "Attachments," which are also part of this Agreement.

     Transaction Documents
     ---------------------

     For each business transaction, we will provide to you the appropriate
     "Transaction Documents" before the transaction occurs that confirm the
     details of the transaction, which Transaction Documents shall not be
     effective against or in favor of either party, unless and until each party
     agrees to each appropriate set of Transition Documents in writing.

     Conflicting Terms
     -----------------

     If there is a conflict among the terms in the various documents, those of
     an Attachment prevail over those of this Agreement.  The terms of a
     Transaction Document prevail over those of both the Attachments and this
     Agreement.

     Your Order
     ----------

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

     You may order a Service or Product in writing, including a request written
     on paper and delivered to us and a request sent via facsimile to us.

     Our Acceptance of Your Order
     ----------------------------

     A Service or Product becomes subject to this Agreement when we accept your
     order by sending you a Transaction Document which accepts expressly and
     precisely the terms of the order.

     Your Acceptance of Additional Terms
     -----------------------------------

     You accept the additional terms in an Attachment or Transaction Document by
     signing it.

1.3  ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
     -------------------------

     You and we may communicate with the other by electronic means for
     information purposes only, such as through electronic or Prodigy Mail.  Any
     electronic communication must be followed by written confirmation or
     telecopied in order to be binding on either party.  Documents which include
     handwritten signatures may be transmitted by telecopier, and shall be
     deemed binding without the need for original signatures.  Nevertheless,
     original signature copies are preferred.

1.4  PRICES
     ------

     The following are the bases on which we may require the amount payable for
     a Service or Product to be paid, with an example of each:

     1.   one-time (Service installation charges);

     2.   recurring (a periodic charge for Services);

     3.   a combination of both (an initial charge and a monthly license charge
          for a Program); or

     4.   usage (network traffic charges).

     We will specify the amount and basis for the particular Service or Product.
     If additional Products or Services are added, the prices will be set forth
     in a Transaction Document.  Except as herein provided specifically, no
     additional charges shall be imposed or incurred for Services which we are
     obligated to provide under this Agreement.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

1.5  PAYMENT AND TAXES
     -----------------

     You shall pay:

     1.   usage and recurring charges according to Section 6.5.

     2.   all other charges when or after you incur them.

     Amounts due are payable as we specify in the invoice which invoice shall be
     consistent with the conflict hierarchy set forth in Section 1.2,
     Conflicting Terms, or, with respect to dial up network services, as
     provided in Section 6.5.  You agree to pay accordingly.  You agree to pay
     any tax on the Services we provide to you.  You are responsible for
     personal property taxes for each Product that you purchase and each Program
     that you license from the date we ship it to you or otherwise make it
     available to you.  "Taxes" as used in this Agreement shall not include any
     FCC charges or other charges payable to any government organization other
     than a taxing authority, all of which we shall pay.

1.6  PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS
     ----------------------

     For purposes of this Section only, the term "Product" includes Materials
     alone or in combination with Products we provide to you as a System.

     If a third party claims that a Product we provide to you infringes that
     party's patent or copyright, we will defend you against that claim at our
     expense and pay all costs, damages, and attorney's fees that a court
     finally awards, provided that you:

     1.   promptly notify us in writing of the claim; and

     2.   allow us to control, and cooperate with us in, the defense and any
          related settlement negotiations.  At your option and at your cost, you
          may retain counsel to advise you as you work with us.

     If such a claim is made or appears likely to be made, we will take
     reasonable steps, and you agree to permit us to do so, to enable you to
     continue to use the Product, or to modify it, or replace it with one that
     is at least functionally equivalent.  If we determine that none of these
     alternatives is reasonably available, you agree to return the Product to us
     on our written request and we may terminate the affected Service at no
     further charge to you, in which case we will refund to you the unused
     prorata portion of any advance payments for the Service and/or the Product.

     YOU AGREE THAT YOUR RIGHTS, AS PROVIDED BY THIS SECTION 1.6, REGARDING ANY
     CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT ARE LIMITED AND THE REMEDIES IN THIS SECTION WILL BE
     YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY SUCH CLAIM.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

     Notice of Infringement
     ----------------------

     All notices of patent or copyright infringement permitted or required by
     this Agreement will be in writing and will take effect upon receipt.

     Claims for Which We are Not Responsible
     ---------------------------------------

     We have no obligation regarding any claim to the extent it is based on any
     of the following:

     1.   your modification of a Product, or a Program's use with equipment and
          programs other than the Equipment and Programs with which the Program
          is designed to operate:

     2.   the combination, operation, or use of a Product with any product,
          data, or apparatus that we did not provide unless we had written
          notice and acknowledged in writing receipt of notice that the intended
          use of the Product was for a use with a product, data, or apparatus we
          did not provide; or

     3.   infringement by a non-Splitrock Product alone, as opposed to its
          combination with Products we provide to you as a System.

1.7  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
     -----------------------

     Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on our part or other
     liability, you are entitled to recover damages from us.  In each such
     instance, regardless of the basis on which such party is entitled to claim
     damages, we are liable only for:

     1.   payments referred to in our patent and copyright terms described
          above;

     2.   bodily injury (including death), and damage to real property and
          tangible personal property; and

     3.   the amount of any other actual loss or damage, in excess of $100,000
          or the charges (if recurring or usage, 12 months' charges apply) for
          the Service or Product that is the subject of the claim.

          This limit also applies to any of our subcontractors, agents and
          Program developers.  It is the maximum for which we, our
          subcontractors, agents and program developers are collectively
          responsible.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

     Items for Which Neither Party is Liable
     ---------------------------------------

     Under no circumstances are either party or its subcontractors, agents or
     Program developers liable for any of the following:

     1.   third-party claims against the other party for losses or damages
          (other than those under the first two items listed in 1.7 above)
          except for willful acts or acts of gross negligence;

     2.   loss of, or damage to, records or data except for any actual loss or
          damage willfully and intentionally caused by the other party or caused
          by gross negligence, subject to the limitation contained in Section
          1.7(3) above; or

     3.   economic consequential damages (including lost profits or savings) or
          incidental damages, even if either party is informed of their
          possibility.

     EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ITS RIGHTS ARE LIMITED BY THIS SECTION 1.7, THAT THE
     LIMITATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN ARE FAIR AND EQUITABLE, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY
     WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY IT MAY HAVE FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY OTHER
     DAMAGES.

1.8  YOUR ADDITIONAL RIGHTS
     ----------------------

     You may have additional rights under certain laws (such as consumer laws)
     which do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, or the exclusion or
     limitation of certain damages.  If these laws apply, our exclusions or
     limitations may not apply to you.

1.9  CHANGES TO AND TERMINATION OF SERVICES
     --------------------------------------

     If a third party claims that a Product we provide as part of a Service
     infringes a patent or copyright, we reserve the right to first substitute a
     different Product, or alternatively to terminate the Service effective
     immediately.

1.10 GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE
     ----------------

     All of your rights, all our obligations, and all licenses are valid only in
     the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska.

PART 6 - SPLITROCK SERVICES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.1  DESCRIPTION
     -----------
     We will provide you network services consisting of the following
     components:

     .    Dial access network as described in Section 6.1.1
     .    ATM backbone network as described in Section 6.1.2
     .    Regional Servers connectivity as described in 6.1.3
     .    Network Management and Proxy Servers as described in Section 6.1.4

     6.1.1  Dial Access Network
            -------------------

     We will provide to you dial access for data transport for your Subscribers
     as described in this Agreement as a "Service".  We will provide this
     Service to you in all locations in which, on the effective date of this
     Agreement, such dial access service already exists.  You agree to provide
     to us a list of current dial access locations, which list shall be Appendix
     "A" to this Agreement. Effective March 15, 2000 or at such time within 60
     days thereof as may be agreed upon, the Service provided at dial access
     locations identified on Appendix "A-1" will be discontinued.

     We may substitute a new site for an existing location upon 30 days prior
     notice of change, with 60 days simultaneous usage.  You may request new
     sites to exceed an 80% coverage, by population, for local dial access; but
     we will not be obligated to provide dial access Service in any new dial
     access location with usage in any month of less than 5,000 dial hours
     unless we review the location for the new site and approve the creation of
     a new site at such location, in our sole discretion.  We can modify the
     site coverage only with your permission, unless the modification is for a
     substitution of existing coverage, in which case we do not need your
     permission.  Any new sites added by us for Services will be available to
     you if you choose to use them.

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

     The data traffic dial access Service shall include the receipt of inbound
     data dial traffic from your Subscribers and the muting of such traffic to
     another Subscriber, to a proxy server, to a regional server, to your data
     center at Yorktown or to the selected Internet Network Access Points
     ("NAP").  We will not support initiating a call to another Subscriber's
     telephone.

     We shall, in our sole discretion, decide the number of dial ports we
     provide to serve each site, as well as the method we use to provide Service
     to each site provided the grades and standards of service as set forth in
     this Agreement are met.  Examples of methods we may use to provide this
     Service include:

     .    a physical site presence with modem ports; or
     .    a virtual presence using call forwarding or a foreign exchange.

     All new access equipment provided by us will have speed capacity with
     respect to backbone access, and with respect to Subscriber access,
     consistent with the service that can and will be provided from that site.
     For example, we will not install equipment with a speed higher than the
     existing line infrastructure can support, except we acknowledge that we
     shall install 56K capable bps modems, although current FCC regulations
     prohibit transmission at speeds in excess of 53K bps, and, other conditions
     beyond our control may decrease the actual connection speed.

     Specifically identified protocols to be supported include Serial Line
     Internet protocol (SLIP), Prodigy Link Level Protocol (PLLP), and Point-to-
     Point Protocol (PPP).

     We shall be responsible for.

     .    inbound communication facilities (such as hunt groups, measured
          business lines or DID trunks);
     .    modem hardware including ports and chassis; and
     .    network equipment and communications facilities to transport traffic
          from our dial site to other sites, to your data center at Yorktown
          and the seven NAPS.

     We shall transport the dial data traffic to you via TCP/IP over ATM.  We
     will not change the terms or conditions of a Service without your approval,
     which you agree will not be unreasonably withheld.

                                      -19-

     6.1.2  ATM Backbone Network
            --------------------

     The Splitrock ATM backbone network will be operational on or before
     December 31, 1997 and will be based on the Yurie LDR200/50 ATM switches or
     similar ATM switches.  This network is based on ATM switches, supporting
     TCP/IP protocol for Prodigy Classic and Prodigy Internet services.  Prodigy
     Classic transmission which requires SNA will be encapsulated as TCP/IP.
     Each dial access site will be upgraded with a LDR200, LDR50 or similar ATM
     switch.  A backbone transmission facility based on ATM protocol will
     interconnect the dial access sites to Yorktown, New York.  Since the Yurie
     ATM switches use standard ATM protocol, the interconnections can be a
     mixture of FT1, T1, T3 and OC-3 or publicly available switched ATM
     services.

     Effective July 1, 1997 but subject to the Transition Services Agreement, we
     shall also provide, maintain and manage sufficient bandwith connections to
     Yorktown, New York to support the Service Level Objectives in Section 6.2.
     The transmission facilities may be DS-3, OC-3 or other appropriate
     transmission services available at the time. The transmission facilities
     will be terminated by a LDR200 and Centillion C100 combination or
     equivalent provided by us at your Yorktown facility. The transmission
     facilities will be diversely routed and fully separated and connect to you
     via selected routers. The two Splitrock C100s will connect to existing
     Prodigy 6611 or equivalent routers, which support the Prodigy internal LAN
     at Yorktown.

     The Equipment we provide at Yorktown will be installed on your premises
     solely for our use in providing our Services.  This Equipment is provided
     under the terms specified in the Section "Equipment We Provide."

     In addition, at locations selected by us agreed, we will provide
     interconnection of the network to the Internet via DS3 to suitable NAPS.
     This will provide bandwith between the NAP and Yorktown as well as between
     the NAP and the dial up user.  We will have the sole right to select the
     choice of the NAP provider at each location.  You will be responsible for
     complying with all protocol requirements for layer 3 and above as set forth
     by the NAP providers that we select.

                                     -20-

<PAGE>

     6.1.3  Regional Servers
            ----------------

     You may provide, maintain and manage regional servers at sites determined
     by you which are to be geographically dispersed and co-located at our
     network hub sites; such equipment is limited to that which may only be
     installed in one standard 19" rack per site ("Regional Servers").  You
     shall provide, maintain and manage diagnostic equipment, connection
     equipment that you may use to connect to us and associated analog phone
     lines which you may use to manage your Regional Servers.  In addition, you
     shall provide the electric power cables and the equipment connection cables
     for the equipment you provide, including those cables, required to connect
     your equipment to our network equipment. You also agree to comply with all
     safety requirements at each site.  Each Regional Server will be EtherNet
     connected to our network.  Neither we nor any other customer of ours shall
     use your Regional Servers for any purpose except to support Prodigy Classic
     and Prodigy Internet.  We shall provide you with access to our sites for
     purposes of maintaining, upgrading and servicing these Regional Servers at
     no additional cost to you.

     You are responsible for separately procuring from us the upstream
     connection from the Regional Server.  The upstream connection is defined as
     the network facilities used to transport traffic from the Regional Server
     to locations other than the source dial node (such as Yorktown or the
     Internet).  Cost for such services will be as provided in Section 6.5.2
     section 2 of this Agreement

     The Regional Servers will not be included in the service level objectives,
     as provided in Section 6.2.

     6.1.4   Network Management and Proxy Servers
             ------------------------------------

     Network Management
     ------------------

     We will maintain TINA until we replace it with a new network management
     system which encompasses all TINA functions.  You will make available to us
     the mainframe computer resources necessary to run TINA for the purpose of
     managing the network at no cost to us.  We will provide you read only
     terminal access to TINA and any other network management system used by us
     so that you can determine the operational status of any modem or network
     component.

     Proxy Servers
     -------------

     We will assume your existing Unix servers and all hardware and software
     maintenance costs as they directly relate to proxy functions.  These
     servers will be placed at our hub and peering sites.  We will also provide
     for a fee additional new Unix based servers at

                                     -21-

<PAGE>

     hub sites when needed and requested by you. Unix based servers will not be
     supported at all POP sites.

     We intend to use Windows NT based servers for the POP sites and for future
     hub sites for the proxy server functions.

6.2  SERVICE LEVEL OBJECTIVES
     ------------------------

     We will have four service level objectives for both Prodigy Internet and
     Prodigy Classic:

     1.  Site Dial Grade of Service (SDGS) objective of P.01 during the peak or
         busiest hours of the day (We will use your algorithms in effect as of
         June 23, 1997 for purposes of measuring the SDGS and Grade of Service);

     2.  Site System Availability (SSA) objective of 99.5%;

     3.  Overall System Availability (OSA) objective of 99.5%; and

     4.  Transit Delay (TD) objective average of 100 milliseconds or less 95%
         of the time and  150 milliseconds or less 99% of the time, however, TD
         objective average for Alaska and Hawaii is 300 milliseconds.  (We will
         use your algorithms in effect as of June 23, 1997 for purposes of
         measuring the TD and Grade of Service)

     NOTE:  A P.01 Grade of Service means that no more than 1% of calls are
     denied access during the peak busy hour of the weekly measured period.  A
     P.03 Grade of Service means that no more than 3% of calls are denied access
     during the peak busy hour of the weekly measured period.

     We shall measure each of the objectives, other than SDGS, on a monthly
     basis and shall provide you with a report of such measured objectives by
     the 10th business day of the following month, unless otherwise agreed
     between the parties.

     6.2.1  Site Dial Grade of Service (SDGS) Objective
            -------------------------------------------

     We shall measure and report the weekly Site Dial Grade of Service for each
     site.  If the SDGS, measured weekly, falls below P.03 for a site in two
     consecutive weeks, we shall have four additional weeks to improve the
     performance.  If, during this four week period, the measured SDGS is not
     improved above P.03 with the intent to meet the P.01 objective, then we
     shall provide you a credit of $1,500.00 for each four week period
     thereafter for that site until such time as the measured SDGS is improved
     above P.03.

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

     Except for your right of termination as provided for in Section 6.7.1, this
     is your sole remedy for our failure to meet the SDGS objective.

     Grade of Service reductions which are caused by, related to or extended as
     a result of your actions, or Force Majeure shall not be considered in the
     estimation of the monthly SDGS.

     Should you supply an invalid forecast (see Section "Forecasts"), then the
     SDGS objective will not be applicable for that period.

     6.2.2  Availability Objectives
            -----------------------

     The components of the availability objective calculations shall include the
     components provided by us.  The OSA rate and the SSA rate shall be
     represented as a percentage of the time the components are actually
     available, as compared to the scheduled time of availability.

     The SSA shall be defined as the monthly availability of the Service
     components for a single site including the modem and server components at
     the site, and network connections from the site to Yorktown.  We shall
     measure and report the monthly site availability, and deliver such report
     to you no later than the 10th business day after the month of testing.

     We will measure and report site availability by sending a 56 byte message,
     called a sample ping, to the modem chassis and to the servers from a
     Splitrock network monitor in Yorktown on a periodic basis, but no less than
     every 10 minutes.  The ping sampling interval is subject to change over
     time but in no event shall it be more than 30 minute intervals.  If a
     positive response is received to the ping, then the site is considered
     available for that ping period.  We will issue one retry (or effectively do
     the retry using another function) if an initial negative response is
     received.  If a positive response is received on the retry then the site is
     considered available for that ping period.  If a negative response is
     received from the initial ping and the retry, then the site is considered
     unavailable for that ping period.

     The SSA rate calculation shall be:

     .    the Total Scheduled Minutes of Availability for the site;
     .    minus the Total Unscheduled Outage Minutes for the site;
     .    divided by the Total Scheduled Minutes of Availability for the site.

(Total Scheduled Minutes of Availability)-(Total Unscheduled Outage Minutes)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

     (Total Scheduled Minutes of Availability)

          The Total Scheduled Minutes of Availability for a site is defined as
     the total minutes in the measurement time period minus the total minutes of
     outages which are not due to unscheduled outages during the measurement
     time period.

          Total Unscheduled Outage Minutes include outages due to
     telecommunication facilities (carrier outages), loss of electrical power,
     hardware, operations, software and design problems except for:

          1.  scheduled network maintenance and scheduled outages;

          2.  outages caused by, related to, or extended as a result of your
              actions; and

          3.  outages due a Force Majeure event.

          If the SSA rate for a specific site, measured monthly, falls below
     98.5%, we shall take immediate and necessary action to improve the
     performance.  If the measured SSA rate for the site is not improved above
     98.5% with the intent to meet the 99.5% objective within the next two
     months, we shall provide you a credit of $1,500.00 for each month
     thereafter for that site until such time as the measured SSA rate is
     improved above 99.5%.

          Except for your right of termination provided for in Section 6.7.1,
     this is your sole remedy for our failure to meet the SSA objective.

          The OSA objective is defined as the combined availability of the
     Service components, including the modem and server components, and network
     connections to Yorktown.  The OSA rate shall be an average of all the SSA
     rates.  We shall measure and report the monthly OSA.

          If the OSA rate, measured monthly, falls below 98.7%, we shall take
     immediate and necessary action to improve the performance.  If the measured
     OSA rate is not improved above 98.7% with the intent to meet the 99.5%
     objective within the next two months, we shall provide you a credit of
     $25,000.00 for each month thereafter until such time as the measured OSA
     rate is improved above 98.7%.  Except for your right of termination
     provided for in Section 6.7.1, this is your sole remedy for our failure to
     meet the OSA objective.

          We shall be allowed a system-wide weekly maintenance window.  The
     weekly maintenance window shall occur initially Sunday mornings from 3:15
     to 4:45 Eastern time.  This initial period may be changed upon your prior
     written consent.  Additionally, there shall be an allowance for scheduled
     outages at each site for us to perform maintenance/upgrade work:  allowing
     each site two outages annually each up to three

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

     hours in duration. We shall provide you with advance notice of sites
     scheduled for upgrade/maintenance activity, and we shall use reasonable
     efforts to schedule such upgrade/maintenance activity for a time other than
     5 pm to midnight, local site time.

          We shall review anticipated changes in the network maintenance window
     with you.  You and we shall cooperate to accommodate a necessary change in
     the network maintenance window and the business impact on you.

          We shall not be precluded from performing unscheduled maintenance as
     we may deem necessary.  In such instances we will use reasonable efforts to
     notify you at least 48 hours in advance.  For purposes of the SSA and OSA
     rate calculations, these will be considered unscheduled outages.

     6.2.3  Transit Delay
            -------------

          The TD is represented as the actual time for a 56 byte message, called
     a sample ping, to travel round trip between two specific routers in the
     network under normal prime time conditions.

          Using the sample ping referred to in Section 6.2.2, we will measure
     the TD on a periodic basis, but no less than every 10 minutes.  The ping
     sampling interval is subject to change over time but in no event shall
     exceed 30 minutes.  We will average all the samples in a given month to
     determine the overall average TD, and will report that to you.

          If we fail to meet the monthly TD objectives, you will notify us in
     writing.  If we continue to fail to meet the TD objectives for two months,
     then we shall provide you a credit of $25,000.00 for each month thereafter
     until such time as the measured TD meets the objectives.  Except for your
     right of termination provided for in Section 6.7.1, this is your sole
     remedy for our failure to meet the TD objectives.

          In an instance where the monthly forecast for 20% of the sites is
     invalid, then the TD objective shall not be applicable for that period.

6.3  OUR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES
     --------------------------
     We will:

     1.   provide you with a number for your operations group or customer
          service group to contact our help desk support, which shall be
          available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and staffed adequately to
          handle all inquiries within 60 seconds of receipt;

                                     -25-

<PAGE>
     2.   provide you with standard monthly, or in the case of SDGS weekly,
          reports that we produce that are related to the Services provided
          under this Agreement, including reports describing the results of the
          tests for each of SDGS, SSA, OSA and TD, and reports relative to
          availability and traffic statistics within ten days of the end of the
          immediately preceding month, which reports will show by site, the
          total connect hours, time of peak busy hour per site, average peak
          busy hour percentage and distribution of traffic by hour of day;

     3.   provide you with a monthly report detailing the status of network
          upgrades and expansions within ten days of the end of the immediately
          preceding month;

     4.   maintain the components, programs, equipment and materials we provide
          under this Agreement; and

     5.   provide you with read only terminal access to our network management
          system so you can verify operational status of all network modems and
          components.

6.4  YOUR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES
     ---------------------------
     You agree:

     1.   to be responsible for supporting your Subscribers directly through
          your help desk.  Your operations group or customer service group will
          contact our help desk in regard to any reported problems with the
          Service being provided by us;

     2.   to be responsible for ensuring that your software can and will log-off
          each Subscriber after no activity by each Subscriber for 30 minutes
          ("Time Out Function");

     3.   to be responsible for ensuring that for Prodigy Internet Services your
          software will not allow multiple User Identifications associated with
          any Prodigy Internet Subscriber to gain simultaneous access to the
          Services ("Simultaneous Prohibition Function"); and

     4.   upon written request by us audit each of the Time Out Function and
          Simultaneous Prohibition Function up to five audits per each 12 month
          period.  Within 15 days of receiving a written audit request you will
          delivery a written audit report to us.  If the audit shows
          noncompliance with the Time Out Function or Simultaneous

                                     -26-

<PAGE>
  Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
               Exchange Commission.  Asterisks denote omission.

          Prohibition Function, as the case may be, the Maximum Monthly Usage
          Charge (as provided in Section 6.5.1) shall not be applicable to any
          time period from the date of the last audit showing compliance until
          the date you cure such noncompliance.

6.5  CHARGES
     -------

     6.5.1  Monthly Usage Charges
            ---------------------

     With respect to usage, you agree to pay us for the Services based on the
     total number of monthly connect hours of your Subscribers using the
     Services times the applicable rate per hour in the following schedule (the
     "Hourly Usage Charge"), subject to the Minimum Monthly Usage Charge (lower
     limit) described below

     Hourly Usage Charge Rate Schedule:

     January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2001    [**] per hour

     You will pay us the greater of the applicable Hourly Usage Charge or the
     Minimum Monthly Usage Charge.

     Minimum Monthly Usage Charge:

     $4,000,000 per calendar month for the period from July 1, 1999 through June
     30, 2000

     $4,500,000 per calendar month for the period from July 1, 2000 through
     December 31, 2001

     In any month, if the Hourly Usage Charge is not equal to or greater than
     the applicable Minimum Monthly Usage Charge, you agree to pay us the
     applicable Minimum Monthly Usage Charge as set forth above.

     For example (assumption:  no other amounts were due)

          Hourly Usage Charge:
               [**] times Total Number of Hours
                    If in  January 2000 your actual total connect hours were
                    15,000,000, the Hourly Usage Charge for July would be [**]
                    times 15,000,000 = [**]

          Minimum Monthly Usage Charge:

                                     -27-

<PAGE>
  Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
               Exchange Commission.  Asterisks denote omission.

                    The Minimum Monthly Usage Charge you will be required to pay
                    for Subscriber connect services is set forth in the
                    paragraph above.
                    January 2000: $4,000,000.

     For purposes of determining connect hours, the sequence of a call is as
     follows: The dial port goes off hook, modem synchronization, protocol
     management, call routed, Prodigy authentication, session live while user
     performing tasks, user initiates end of session or the session otherwise
     ends, eventually resulting in modem off-line and session termination
     (carrier dropped).  We will aggregate the total time of all calls, rounded
     up by city to the nearest hour.  The length of each individual call will be
     calculated from the time the port goes off hook to session end (modem off-
     line), rounded up to the nearest second.

     6.5.2  Other Monthly Charges
            ---------------------

          In addition to the charges provided in Section 6.5.1 above, you agree
     to pay us each month for the following, which is dedicated for your
     exclusive use and provided you approve of such use in writing:

     1.   for each NAP connection at a rate of [**] per month for each DS3
          connection, at our choice of location, as are necessary for supporting
          your Subscribers,

     2.   for all remote and proxy server connections at a rate of [**] per
          month for each EtherNet connection at each remote and proxy server
          location,

     3.   for servers which you require in addition to those installed as of the
          date hereof, an amount for the acquisition, installation, operation
          and maintenance of hardware and software for such server, at our total
          cost plus 10% (including applicable sales tax).

     4.   If you ask usor no later than August 31, 1997 to assume or provide any
          network related service obligations, not specifically disclosed in
          this Agreement, including its Exhibit and Schedules ("Supplemental
          Obligations"), we will assume such Supplemental Obligations in
          consideration for payment to us of our total cost plus 10% (including
          applicable sale tax); provided that, such cost plus 10% pricing shall
          not, be applicable to any increase or variations in Supplemental
          Obligations, and the parties shall mutually agree on pricing for any
          such increase or variation.

     6.5.3  Payment Terms
            -------------

                                     -28-
<PAGE>

          Except as provided in the Transition Services Agreement while it is in
     effect, you agree to pay us the applicable Minimum Monthly Usage Charge
     (plus any other fixed charges) by the end of the calendar month that we
     provide the Service, whether or not you receive an invoice for such
     charges, and to make payments to us by wire funds transfer or other
     mutually agreed to electronic means to an account specified by us. For all
     other charges, we shall make reasonable efforts to provide invoices on or
     before the tenth day of the month following the monthly period being
     invoiced and you agree to pay such invoices within 30 days of the invoice
     date. If you do not make payments to us by their applicable due dates, you
     agree to pay us a service charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or
     the maximum allowable rate under applicable law on each unpaid amount. You
     agree to pay charges for all Service usage you or Subscribers incur by any
     means, including providing a User Identification to access a Service. You
     are responsible for charges and damages resulting from misuse of User
     Identifications.

          Applicable taxes, such as sales, use or excise taxes are not included
     in the above charges, and you will be invoiced for taxes payable by you but
     required by law to be collected by us, but taxes shall not include line
     access or similar telecommunications based charges.  We shall be
     responsible for payment of sales, use, property and other taxes on
     machines, software, or goods and services used or furnished by us for our
     own use in providing the Services to you.  All taxes incurred in connection
     with our upgrading of the network to ATM switching, or any other upgrade,
     whether mandatory or voluntary, shall be our sole responsibility.

          You shall be responsible for sales, use, property and other taxes on
     machines, software, or goods and services provided by you.

          All pricing for dial access covers speeds up to 56K bps.  All pricing
     of higher speed Service is subject to negotiation and agreement between the
     parties.

     6.5.4  Global Service Provider
            -----------------------

     1.   Sixty days after receiving a written request from Prodigy that it
          provide separated billing to satisfy regulatory requirements
          implicated by Prodigy's merger with or acquisition by a company that
          owns Bell Operating Companies, Splitrock will begin showing separate
          line items on the bills that it conveys to Prodigy.  The first line
          item will be for inter-LATA information services and any underlying
          inter-LATA telecommunications that Splitrock may be providing.  The
          second line item will  be for all other services rendered to Prodigy
          by Splitrock.

     2.   Splitrock will determine what proportion of its services are
          attributable to inter-LATA information services and any underlying
          telecommunications, and will

                                      -29-

<PAGE>
  Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
               Exchange Commission.  Asterisks denote omission.

          communicate to Prodigy the formula that Splitrock uses in making that
          determination so that Prodigy can reflect that allocation on bills
          that Prodigy renders to Prodigy's end user customers.

     3.   Prodigy may direct Splitrock to offer its inter-LATA information and
          underlying telecommunications for resale by a third-party global
          service provider, with the understanding that this third-party global
          service provider will then bill Prodigy's end users for its global
          service provision through Prodigy's billing mechanism. Under this
          billing method, the bills that Splitrock renders to the third-party
          global service provider will be payable by the global service provider
          within three days, and Splitrock may require Prodigy to purchase such
          accounts receivables at full face value within four days after
          Splitrock renders such bills to the third-party global service
          provider.

     4.   Alternatively, if Prodigy and Splitrock mutually agree, Splitrock
          may bill Prodigy's end users for inter-LATA information services and
          any underlying telecommunications, using Prodigy as a billing agent
          who will direct-bill its end users for such services and remit the
          amounts billed to Splitrock. When using this billing method, Splitrock
          may in its sole discretion direct Prodigy to purchase at face value
          all accounts receivables that will be owed to Splitrock by Prodigy's
          customers at the end of each current monthly billing cycle. Splitrock
          may require Prodigy to purchase such accounts receivables within three
          days after Splitrock renders its bill to Prodigy for such services.
          Prodigy may list Splitrock's inter-LATA charges as a separate line
          item on a combined monthly bill that Prodigy sends to end user
          customers, and may identify Splitrock as a global service provider
          providing inter-LATA information services and underlying
          telecommunications.

     5.   Splitrock will independently determine the price for its provision of
          inter-LATA information services and underlying telecommunications;
          however, the overall amounts that Prodigy pays Splitrock every month
          will be the greater of the following two amounts:

          a.   [**] multiplied by the number of hours of Splitrock's service
               used by all Prodigy end user subscribers or Prodigy personnel or
               agents of Prodigy, or

          b.   Four million dollars ($4,000,000.00) for each month ending after
               the execution date of this agreement through the month ending on
               June 30, 2000, and four and one-half million dollars
               ($4,500,000.00) for each month thereafter through the month
               ending on December 31, 2001.

             and Exchange Commission.  Asterisks denote omission.

     5.   The effects of these provisions are illustrated by the following
          example:

          18,695,652  Number of hours in hypothetical month

          [**]  Overall amount that Prodigy must pay to Splitrock [**] times
                18,695,652.

          [**]  Amount ascribed by Splitrock to inter-LATA information services
                and underlying telecommunications and billed as such to end
                users, as a separate line item on bills rendered to end users by
                Prodigy or a third-party global service provider (allocation may
                vary in Splitrock's sole discretion)

          [**]  Amount collected by Prodigy or a third-party global service
                provider from end users for inter-LATA information services and
                underlying telecommunications (assumes that [**] of [**] is non-
                collectible)

          [**]  Amount that Prodigy pays Splitrock for its accounts receivable
                from end users or a third party global service provider (i.e.,
                Prodigy absorbs cost of non-collectibles)

          [**]  Amount that Prodigy pays Splitrock for all services other than
                inter-LATA informations services and underlying
                telecommunications ([**] minus [**])

          [**]  Total amount that Prodigy pays Splitrock for this hypothetical
                month's usage ([**] for inter-LATA information services and
                underlying telecommunications plus [**] for other services)

6.6  FORECASTS
     ---------

     At the beginning of each quarter, you shall supply us with a rolling 15-
     month forecast consistent with your business model:

     1.   hours of traffic for each site for each month of the forecast,

     2.   time of peak busy hour for each site,

                                      -31-

<PAGE>

     3.   average peak busy hour percentage for each site for each month of the
          forecast,

     4.   distribution of traffic by hour of day across all sites, and

     5.   average session length across all sites.

     We shall use this information to perform capacity planning for the Services
     provided under this Agreement.

     For purposes of determining if a forecast is valid or invalid, the fourth,
     fifth and sixth month of a forecast shall be recorded and saved and then
     compared against the actual.  The forecast for the specified month compared
     against the actual is valid if the actual peak hours are no more than 15%
     greater than the forecasted peak hours.  If the actual peak hours are more
     than 15% greater than the forecasted peak hours, then the forecast for the

     any month in which a forecast is invalid, we shall not be responsible for
     SDGS or TD objectives for the subject forecast period.

6.7  CHANGES AND DEFAULT
     -------------------

     6.7.1  Undesirable Conditions
            ----------------------

          If any of the following undesirable events occurs for two consecutive
     months or four months out of a twelve-month period, you may terminate this
     Agreement upon 45 days written notice to us ("Notice of Termination"):

          SDGS below P.05 for 30% or more of the sites
          SSA below 95% for 30% or more of the sites
          OSA below 95%
          TD above 250 millisecond monthly average, and 500 milliseconds monthly
          average for Alaska and Hawaii.

          For SDGS and SSA undesirable condition calculations, a site is deemed
     to be meeting its service level objective during any period of time when
     the corresponding service level objective is not applicable.  For OSA and
     TD, an undesirable condition shall not apply during any period of time when
     the corresponding service level objective is not applicable.

          If you desire to terminate this Agreement because of any of the
     foregoing undesirable conditions, you must give us a Notice of Termination
     within 30 days of receiving the monthly report that gives rise to your
     right of termination.  If you do not exercise your right of termination
     within such 30 day period and in the next month the applicable undesirable
     condition no longer exists, then you waive any right of termination for the
     applicable time period and this Agreement shall remain in full force and
     effect.

                                     -32-

<PAGE>

          Upon Notification of Termination, we shall provide reasonable
     transition assistance to you, for a period of up to six months, and no
     termination adjustment charge or service level credits shall apply, nor
     shall any Minimum Monthly Usage Charges apply after the effective date of
     termination.

     6.7.2  System Wide Failure
            -------------------

     If 50% of the point of presence sites are failing to provide access or
     Services for forty eight consecutive hours, then you have the right to
     enter our premises to operate our network assets and direct our employees,
     as is necessary to cure such failure, and we shall reimburse you for any
     reasonable expense you incur in doing so. We will cooperate with your
     efforts in restoring service to the network. You shall also have the right
     to terminate in accordance with the termination provisions within Section
     6.7.1.

     6.7.3  Financial Related Defaults
            --------------------------

     The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an Event of
     Default (herein so called) hereunder:

     1.   If we shall fail to perform any of our obligations and covenants under
          Section 1.14; or

     2.   If you, in good faith, after reviewing any document or report required
          to be delivered under Section 1.14, believe that there has been a
          material and adverse change in our business operations and conditions,
          financial or otherwise, which in your reasonable opinion will have a
          materially adverse effect upon the operations, business, property,
          assets, financial condition or credit of us or you.

     Remedies
     --------

     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in this Section 6.7.3, you shall
     have the right, at your option, to initiate an alternative dispute
     resolution by the procedures set forth in Section 6.12.  If the dispute is
     not resolved by mediation, the arbitrators will be instructed to determine
     whether or not we, in their judgement, are capable of performing our
     obligations under this Agreement. A decision shall be rendered within three
     days of the conclusion of mediation or arbitration, as appropriate.

     We will respond within three business days to any reasonable request for
     information made by the arbitrators.

     If the arbitrators' judgment is that we are not capable of performing our
     obligations under this Agreement for the twelve month period after the
     arbitrators render their decision, then you shall have the right, in your
     sole discretion, to elect either (i) to terminate this

                                     -33-

<PAGE>

     Agreement, without penalty, and to be relieved of the Minimum Monthly Usage
     Charges, or (ii) to enter our premises to operate our network assets and
     direct our employees to the extent necessary to operate the network until
     the end of the Initial Term of this Agreement, and we shall reimburse you
     for any reasonable expenses you incur in doing so.

     6.7.4  Default (other than for Sections 6.7.1, 6.7.2 or 6.7.3)
            -------------------------------------------------------

          This Section 6.7.4 applies to defaults, other than for the events
     described in Sections 6.7.1, 6.7.2 and 6.7.3.

          In the event that either party materially defaults in the performance
     of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement (other than your
     failure to make timely payments due to us) and does not substantially cure
     such default within 60 days after being given written notice specifying the
     default, then the party not in default may, by giving written notice to the
     defaulting party, terminate this Agreement (herein termination "for
     cause").

          In the event you do not make any payment of the Minimum Monthly Usage
     Charge or Hourly Usage Charge due to us on the due date, then we may
     terminate this Agreement 45 days after we give you written notice of such
     default and provided that we did not receive good funds for such overdue
     payment within the 45 day time period.  In the event that you do not make
     any other payment due to us within 30 days of your receipt of an invoice,
     and such failure is not remedied within 60 days after we give you written
     notice of nonpayment (the "Cure Period") then we may terminate this
     Agreement upon the expiration of the Cure Period.

          In the event that you are in default (for reasons other than failure
     to make timely payments due to us) and we elect to terminate this
     Agreement, then you may request an extension of this Agreement of up to six
     months as a transition period, provided that we, in our discretion, agree
     to provide such an extension.

          In the event that you terminate this Agreement because we are in
     material default for reasons other than as described in Section 6.7.1 then
     we will provide reasonable transition assistance to you, for a period of up
     to six months and no termination adjustment charges or service level
     credits shall apply.

          If you terminate this Agreement (except for cause), or if we terminate
     this Agreement for cause, you shall pay us a termination adjustment charge
     of $3,000,000 (in addition to the monthly charges through December 31, 2001
     as provided in Section 6.5.1) if terminated during the Initial Term of the
     Agreement.  Payment is due and payable upon the date termination notice is
     given and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in
     full force and effect until the end of the Initial Term, including without
     limitation, section 6.5.1

                                     -34-

6.8  OTHER TERMS
     -----------

     You will not be allowed to test or repair our dial network, except as
     provided in Section 6.7.2., and except to send your own sample pings
     similar to that described in Section 6.2.3.

6.9  AUDITING PROCEDURES
     -------------------

          We shall maintain true and accurate accounting records, in accordance
     with sound accounting practices, to support the dial connect charges
     payable to us by you. We shall, upon 30 days' prior written request, during
     normal business hours, but not more frequently than once each calendar
     quarter, provide access to the connect hour accounting records associated
     only with the provision of the Service for the immediately preceding one-
     year period to an independent accounting firm chosen and compensated by you
     for the purposes of auditing the accuracy of the calculation of the dial
     connect charges. The accounting firm selected shall: be required to sign an
     agreement with us protecting our confidential information, perform such
     audit on our premises, and such other locations reasonably necessary to
     conduct a proper audit, comply with our security procedures, and be
     authorized by us to report only the results of such audit and provide us
     with a copy of the report.

          In the event that the audit shows you owe an amount to us, we will
     invoice you for such amount within the next two monthly billing cycles.

          In the event that the audit shows a credit due to you, we will process
     such credit including the cost of the audit (but such costs shall not
     exceed the credit), excluding travel and per diem charges, plus interest at
     the prime rate on the entire amount until paid in full within the next two
     monthly billing cycles, provided that we do not disagree with the audit
     report.  If we disagree with the audit report, we may select an independent
     accounting firm, compensated by us, to perform an audit on the same
     information provided to the firm selected by you.  We shall provide you a
     copy of the report commissioned by us.  In the event that the audit reports
     disagree on the credit due to you, the credit due to you will be determined
     by averaging the results of the two audit reports.

6.10 PRIMARY PROVIDER
     ----------------

          We shall be your Primary Provider of Services.  You shall be free to
     make agreements with third parties for Services, provided you shall not
     seek or accept any bids for Services to replace our Services in their
     totality.

                                     -35-

<PAGE>

          You shall negotiate with us in good faith for any new service which we
     have the ability, capacity and interest to provide.  You shall be free to
     offer new, experimental and other access including without limitation,
     ADSL, cable access, modified cable access including dial up, satellite
     access, roaming (e.g. Aimquest), Web TV, access bundled with content of
     other applications, agreements with regional bell operating companies or
     long distance companies as marketing partners ("Other Business); provided
     that, at least thirty days prior to your entering into any agreement or
     arrangement for Other Business, you will use good faith efforts to deliver
     to us on a confidential basis any business plan changes, projections, draft
     agreements and other documents describing such Other Business, to the
     extent available, and meet with us to discuss such Other Business.

          You shall not offer Other Business that would result in a material
     increase in our costs unless we both agree on the amount of increased
     revenues which will bear a reasonable relationship to such increase in our
     costs; provided that, if we cannot agree on the amount of such increased
     revenues, we shall have no obligation to provide our Services required for
     such Other Business.

6.11 ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
     --------------------------------

          You may request us to provide you services, products or enhancements
     which are not the subject of this Agreement, which include services,
     products or enhancements which we provide to other customers.  If we
     provide such services, products or enhancements, we agree that we will
     offer you a price for such services or products which is no higher than the
     price we charge any other party for the same services, products or
     enhancements; provided, however, that you will not be entitled to receive
     this price treatment with respect to any product, service or enhancement
     which we have developed for another party, or which we consider to be
     proprietary.

          If you request us to develop a new product, service or enhancement for
     your use and we agree to develop such product or service, then we will
     charge you a price which will include a profit to us.

6.12 ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
     ------------------------------

          In the event of a dispute between you and us arising out of or
     relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, you and we shall submit
     the dispute to nonbinding mediation and shall make a good-faith effort to
     resolve the dispute through the mediation process.  In the event the
     dispute is not resolved through mediation within 30 days following written
     notice by one party that it desires to enter into mediation, then such
     dispute shall be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration by
     three arbitrators who will be appointed and will act as follows:

                                     -36-

<PAGE>
          The party requesting arbitration shall, simultaneously with such
     request, appoint one arbitrator and shall notify the other of such
     appointment together with such arbitrator's acceptance.  Within 30 days
     from the receipt of such notice, the other party shall appoint another
     arbitrator and shall notify the requesting party of such appointment
     together with the second arbitrators acceptance.  The third arbitrator, who
     shall act as chairman of the arbitration panel, shall be appointed by the
     other two arbitrators within the following 30 days.  In the event either
     party fails to appoint an arbitrator or in the event no agreement is
     reached between the two arbitrators as to the appointment of the chairman
     of the arbitration panel in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such
     arbitrator or arbitrators shall be appointed, upon application by the
     interested party, by the American Arbitration Association (AAA).

          The arbitrators shall apply the arbitration rules of the AAA.

          The award of the arbitrators shall be final and shall not be subject
     to any appeal or challenge whatsoever. The arbitrators will not be required
     to file their award with any body or authority whatsoever. In the event
     arbitration proceedings are initiated under this section, pending such
     proceedings and until a final award is rendered pursuant thereto, any
     subsequent controversy arising between the parties shall be exclusively
     submitted for final decision by the arbitrators in the arbitration
     proceedings already pending. The arbitrators shall be instructed by the
     parties to include an award for reasonable attorneys' fees, arbitrators'
     fees, expert witnesses, travel and other costs incurred.

          If a dispute arises out of an alleged breach of this Agreement (other
     than your failure to make timely payments due to us), then you and we agree
     to continue to perform our respective obligations under this Agreement
     until an agreement is reached through mediation or the arbitrators render a
     decision, whichever is applicable.

                              AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO

          MICROSOFT WINDOWS 98 "GET CONNECTED" CO-MARKETING AGREEMENT

                      Document Version 4.1, July 24, 1998

This Amendment No. 1 to Microsoft Windows 98 "Get Connected" Co-Marketing
Agreement (this "Agreement") made and entered into this 1st day of October, 1998
("Effective Date"), by and between MICROSOFT CORPORATION, a Washington
corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 ("MS"), and Prodigy
Services Corporation, a Delaware corporation, including its majority owned
subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "COMPANY"), amends the Microsoft
Windows 98 "Get Connected" Co-Marketing Agreement dated the 2nd day of July,
1998, between MS and COMPANY (the "Agreement").

                                 INTRODUCTION

The Agreement sets forth a framework under which COMPANY information is
displayed to end users in the "Internet Connection Wizard" as a means of
facilitating easy Internet sign-up by users of Microsoft Windows 98 software;

MS and COMPANY expect to enter into separate and independent agreements with
various original equipment manufacturers so that such manufacturers may make a
unique list of providers of Internet access services and related special offers
available to purchasers of their computer hardware who utilize the Internet
Connection Wizard; and

MS and COMPANY wish to amend the Agreement to alter the terms which apply when
such alternate information is presented to end users pursuant to the agreements
with original equipment manufacturers.

The parties agree as follows:

DEFINITIONS.

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.  The following terms, whenever
initially capitalized, shall have the following meanings for purposes of this
Amendment:

"OEM-Defined ISP List(s)" means an ISP Phone Book that lists the names of ISPs
and associated telephone numbers and other ISP information, including COMPANY
Information for one or more OEM-specific offers.  The may be one or more OEM-
Defined ISP Lists for a given telephone area code, geographic region or Service
Area.  The OEM-Defined ISP List(s) shall be hosted on one or more Referral
Server(s).

"OEM" means an original equipment manufacturer.

"OEM Get Connected Agreement" means the agreement between MS or COMPANY, as the
case may be, and an OEM whereby an OEM designates certain ISPs to be included in

<PAGE>

AMENDMENTS.

All provisions of the Agreement shall apply with respect to OEM-Defined ISP
List(s) subject to the following changes:

Inclusion of COMPANY Information in OEM-Defined ISP List(s) shall be dependent
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in part on COMPANY's compliance with the terms of the applicable OEM Get
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connected Agreement.  Each OEM shall determine the order and placement of the
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPANY Information with its respective OEM-Defined ISP List(s).
----------------------------------------------------------------

There shall be no payment or reporting obligations regarding OEM-Defined ISP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
List(s) between MS and COMPANY.  All payment and reporting obligations regarding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OEM-Defined ISP List(s) shall be determined by COMPANY and the relevant OEMs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accordingly, Sections 3.6 (third sentence), 4, 11 and 12.7 and Exhibits C and D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shall not apply to OEM-Defined ISP List(s).  This Amendment shall not, however,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
affect any payment and reporting obligations relating to lists which are not
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
