         D. Except as otherwise provided herein, presentation of Customer's
            portion of the bill will be in Qwest's standard format, as in effect
            from time to time, for inclusion of third party Billing Transactions
            with respect to content, including, but not limited to, logos, bill
            format, type of Billing Transactions, Market Messages and
            relationship to others within the same bill.

         E. Services will be billed to Customer via a monthly B&C Invoice (as
            defined in Section 7.B hereof) and will be calculated utilizing one
            or a combination of the following pricing methodologies, as further
            described in Exhibit C:

            1. Volume-sensitive recurring pricing (billing volumes multiplied by
               a set price);

            2. Flat-rated recurring pricing; and/or

            3. Non-recurring Developmental Charges.

         F. In the event of a Governmental Entity order or other directive that
            may cause Qwest an increase in the cost of providing Services, Qwest
            reserves the right to allocate developmental costs associated with
            implementing the order across all affected customers, and/or to
            modify its rates for Services retroactive to the effective date of
            such order or other directive. Qwest will use commercially
            reasonable efforts to deliver to Customer thirty (30) days' advance
            notice of such allocation and other reasonable information relating
            to such order or other directive. In the event of such an increase
            in costs, Customer reserves the right to terminate this Agreement
            (or, in the case of such an order or other directive that applies
            solely to one or more of Customer's service areas, Customer may
            terminate this Agreement with respect to such affected service
            area(s)) upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Qwest. Customer
            must exercise its right to terminate this Agreement in accordance
            with this paragraph within ninety (90) days after Customer's receipt
            of notice from Qwest of such increase in costs.

         G. On an annual basis, Qwest will provide End Users with information
            relating to their billing rights for DPS services, in accordance
            with FCC and FTC guidelines. Customer agrees to pay Qwest for a
            percentage of costs associated with providing End Users with such
            statement. The percentage will be determined by calculating the
            annual volume of all DPS Billing Transactions for all End Users
            against the annual Billing Transaction volumes for Customer. Qwest
            will calculate Customer's annual Billing Transaction volumes using
            their Billing Transaction data billed in the preceding twelve (12)
            months. Qwest will determine a pro-rata percentage of the
            statement's cost across all affected customers.

5.       Developmental Charge(s)

         A. Qwest has three distinct operating regions, Central, Eastern and
            Western Regions, (hereinafter each operating region will be
            individually referred to as a "Qwest Region").

         B. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for paying
            the initial set-up cost for the implementation for each Customer
            ABEC and the PARS in the manner contemplated by Exhibit D. Customer
            further acknowledges and agrees that an additional set-up charge
            will

    The information contained herein should not be disclosed to unauthorized

            apply for the implementation for each, if any, additional billing
            identifiers that are implemented in any Qwest Region at Customer's
            request (each a "Developmental Charge").

         C. All Developmental Charges resulting from Custom Request work, as set
            forth in Exhibit B, Section II, initiated and authorized by
            Customer, will be due and payable to Qwest at the then current rates
            (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties) as follows:

                  (i)      if such Developmental Charges are equal to or less
                           than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
                           ($150,000), then Customer will pay all such
                           Developmental Charges in advance within thirty (30)
                           days after Qwest has agreed to implement the request;
                           and

                  (ii)     if such Developmental Charges are greater than one
                           hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000), then
                           Customer will pay (a) 50% of such Developmental
                           Charges (the "Initial Payment") in advance within
                           thirty (30) days after Qwest has agreed to implement
                           the request, (b) 25% of such Developmental Charges
                           within thirty (30) days after the date of the Initial
                           Payment and (c) the remaining 25% of such
                           Developmental Charges within sixty (60) days after
                           the date of the Initial Payment; provided, however,
                           that 100% of the Developmental Charges will be paid
                           no less than thirty (30) days prior to the project's
                           implementation date.

6.       Service Commitment

         Customer understands and agrees that Qwest requires an annual minimum
         (hereinafter "Service Commitment") in the amount of $65,000.00 for each
         applicable Qwest Region, in recurring Service charges for each ABEC
         that is utilized for billing Customer's DPS services. Such Service
         Commitment is required for Customer's Actual Charges (as defined
         herein) incurred. For purposes of this Section, the term "Actual
         Charges" is defined as any recurring and/or non-recurring charges
         incurred after the initial set-up charges. The Service Commitment will
         be due and payable as follows:

         A. If the total combined Actual Charges incurred by Customer for all
            active ABECs, across all Qwest Regions, do not meet or exceed the
            Service Commitment in a given calendar year, then Qwest will conduct
            a true-up for that year after December actuals are billed on the
            January B&C Invoices. If Customer has not received Services from
            Qwest under a Billing and Collection Services agreement for a full
            calendar year at the time the true-up is performed, then a proration
            will be applied to the actual number of full months for which
            Customer has received Services from Qwest.

         B. Each year during the term of this Agreement, Qwest will invoice
            Customer by the end of the second quarter of the following year for
            the difference between the total Service Commitment due and the
            Actual Charges incurred by Customer across all Qwest Regions during
            the previous calendar year. Excess Actual Charges from one or more
            Qwest Region(s) may satisfy any amounts owing in one or more Qwest
            Region(s) for the same year.

                                     Notice
    The information contained herein should not be disclosed to unauthorized
      persons. It is meant for use by authorized representatives of Qwest
                               and Customer only.

         C. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Service Commitment will be
            prorated using the number of days beginning with the end of the
            previous settlement period to the actual date of termination. Qwest
            will invoice Customer for the difference between the total Service
            Commitment due and the Actual Charges incurred by Customer across
            all Qwest Regions. Such amount will be invoiced to Customer and is
            due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7
            below.

         D. If termination of this Agreement occurs prior to the termination
            date specified in Section 16.A of this Agreement, Qwest will conduct
            a true-up as follows: 1) Qwest will prorate the Service Commitment
            for the period from the Commencement Date to the date of
            termination; and 2) will calculate the difference between the total
            Service Commitment due and the Actual Charges incurred by Customer
            across all Qwest Regions. Such amount will be invoiced to Customer
            and is due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section
            7 below.

7.       Customer Prices and Payment

         A. Prices

         All Services provided pursuant to this Agreement will be provided at
         the prices specified in Exhibit C.

         B. Invoices

         Services will be billed to Customer via a separate statement (an
         "Invoice") for each ABEC established to bill each of Customer's ABECs,
         utilizing the prices set forth in Exhibit C. To the extent that the
         Parties do not actually execute this Agreement on the first day of the
         month in which the Effective Date occurs, the invoices for that first
         month of Services will be prorated to reflect the commencement of
         Services on the Commencement Date.

         C. Payment of B&C Services

            1. Customer's payment for Services will be due on the payment due
               date reflected on the Invoice unless such date is not a Business
               Day, in which case payment will be due on the next Business Day
               (the "Payment Date").

            2. Any payment received by Qwest for Services rendered after the
               Payment Date or any payment received in funds that are not
               immediately available to Qwest on the Payment Date, will be
               subject to a late payment penalty. The late payment penalty will
               be the portion of the amount due Qwest received after the Payment
               Date times a late factor of 0.000310 per day compounded daily for
               the number of days from the Payment Date to and including the
               date that Customer actually made the payment to Qwest, which
               would result in an annual percentage rate of twelve percent
               (12%). The late payment penalty will be billed in the Detail of
               Late Payment Charges Section of the invoice.

                                     Notice
    The information contained herein should not be disclosed to unauthorized
      persons. It is meant for use by authorized representatives of Qwest
                               and Customer only.

            3. Any late payment resulting from bank error will not be subject to
               the late payment penalty provided that Customer can verify that
               it was not at fault. It is the responsibility of Customer to
               notify the banks involved for resolution of the bank error.

            4. The provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement will govern any
               dispute associated with a Customer payment. Should the dispute
               not be resolved by the Payment Date of the amount due, Customer
               will, notwithstanding the continuing existence of the dispute,
               pay the billed amount in accordance with the provisions of this
               Agreement. Payment of the billed amount does not preclude the
               claiming Party from its right to have claim against the other
               Party for reimbursement until the dispute is resolved.

8.       Dispute Resolution

         Any claim, controversy or dispute between Qwest and Customer, other
         than any claim, controversy or dispute in which a Party seeks equitable
         relief, will be settled as follows:

         A. All disputes arising out of this Agreement between the Parties with
            respect to any subject listed in the preceding paragraph will be
            escalated through normal business procedures to the officer level
            prior to the commencement of any arbitration proceeding.

         B. Any claim, controversy or dispute between the Parties will be
            resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration
            Act, 9 U.S.C. 1-16. A retired judge or a practicing attorney under
            the rules of the American Arbitration Association will conduct the
            arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in Denver, Colorado.
            The arbitrators decision will be final and may be entered in any
            court with jurisdiction. Each Party will be responsible for its own
            costs.

9.       Audit

         A. For purposes of this Section, an audit will mean a Customer
            requested comprehensive review (hereinafter "Audit") of a Service,
            except as cited in paragraph F of this Section. Such Audit may
            encompass one (1) or more departments. Customer may conduct one (1)
            Audit during each year of the term of this Agreement over the Qwest
            Regions in which Qwest is billing for Customer under this Agreement;
            provided, however, that if an Audit uncovers a discrepancy in excess
            of ten percent (10%), then Customer will be entitled to another
            Audit within that one (1) year period. If an Audit is requested in
            one (1) or more Qwest Regions, it will be counted as one (1) Audit.

         B. Both Parties agree that the Audit will be limited to a statistically
            valid sample with a ninety percent (90%) confidence level and be
            further limited to the exact subject matter outlined in the written
            notification, as described in paragraph E, below. All Qwest expenses
            incurred during the Audit, including, but not limited to,
            investigative work, extraction of data and travel, will be shared
            equally by the Parties.

                                     Notice
    The information contained herein should not be disclosed to unauthorized
      persons. It is meant for use by authorized representatives of Qwest
                               and Customer only.

         C. At such time as Customer desires to expand an Audit beyond a ninety
            percent (90%) confidence level, Customer agrees to pay all of
            Qwest's reasonable expenses for the incremental Audit activities
            required, including, but not limited to, account extraction,
            masking, analyzing accounts, and other Audit activities, at the
            rates set forth in Exhibit C, Consulting Services.

         D. At such time as an Audit is requested, the Parties will share
            equally all expenses associated with hiring a single independent
            auditor to perform the Audit, provided, however, that if the Audit
            proves a discrepancy in excess of fifteen percent (15%) in favor of
            Customer, Qwest will pay all such expenses. Prior to performing an
            Audit, the independent auditor will be required to sign a joint
            non-disclosure agreement with Customer and Qwest.

         E. To initiate an Audit, Customer will provide Qwest with written
            notice of its intent to Audit as well as the specific requirements
            of the Audit. Such requirements will identify:

            1. the exact Service to be audited;

            2. the desired start date;

            3. the desired Audit location;

            4. Customer's representatives; and

            5. specific materials to be reviewed, i.e.,

               a. number of accounts;

               b. type of accounts;

               c. Billing Transaction detail; and

               d. time period of data to be reviewed.

         F. After the Parties have agreed on the specific details of an Audit,
            including all requirements, a detailed time and cost estimate will
            be prepared by Qwest in accordance with the prices specified in
            Exhibit C, Consulting Service.

         G. The independent auditor will have the right, on behalf of Customer,
            to review all such records and accounts as may, under recognized or
            generally accepted accounting practices, or as otherwise will be
            reasonably necessary for the completion of the Audit, contain
            information on Customer's End User accounts and Services. Qwest will
            cooperate with all reasonable requests of the independent auditor
            and provide as promptly as reasonably practicable all information
            relevant to such request (subject to the other provisions of this
            Agreement including Section 9.6 and the remainder of this Section
            9.0). All information reviewed by the independent auditor is
            considered Confidential Information as such term is defined in

                                     Notice
    The information contained herein should not be disclosed to unauthorized
      persons. It is meant for use by authorized representatives of Qwest
                               and Customer only.

            Section 17 hereof. Qwest will provide for review extracts or masked
            data containing information pertinent only to Customer. Qwest will
            not provide for review portions of source documents that contain
            information relating to other entities for which Qwest is providing
            Services.

         H. Upon completion of the Audit, corrective action, if any, will be
            initiated within thirty (30) days of the mutually agreed upon
            resolution. Any Qwest liability for Services disclosed by the Audit
            will result in an adjustment, which will be limited in accordance
            with the provisions of Section 10.

         I. All costs incurred by Qwest when Qwest participates on behalf of
            Customer during the course of an Audit of Customer ordered by a
            Governmental Entity will be the responsibility of Customer. Prior to
            Qwest's participation in a third party Audit, a detailed estimate
            will be prepared, based upon Customer's written notice, in
            accordance with the terms and prices set forth in Exhibits B and C
            respectively, Consulting Services. The estimate will be valid for a
            period of thirty (30) days from the date the estimate is delivered
            to Customer. Unless Qwest is ordered to conduct the Audit by a court
            or regulatory authority, both Parties must approve the estimate, and
            any subsequent revisions, in writing, prior to Qwest performing such
            services or Customer incurring any costs.

         J. Notwithstanding the foregoing Audit provisions, Qwest will provide
            Customer and its representatives (including financing providers),
            during normal business hours and as soon as commercially practicable
            after reasonable written request during the Term, with access to
            review and discuss the books and records and other information and
            personnel related to Customer's Account Receivables hereunder,
            subject in any event to all applicable law and confidentiality
            provisions.

10.      Billing Errors and Limitation of Liability

         A. Customer and Qwest agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to
            provide each other verbal notification immediately upon discovery of
            billing errors followed by written notification within ten (10)
            Business Days. Such written notification will contain detailed
            information to aid in identifying the cause of the billing error and
            its correction. Qwest agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
            to correct billing errors within thirty (30) days of notification
            (by Customer) or discovery (by Qwest). Where meeting the thirty (30)
            day objective is not possible, Qwest will notify Customer in writing
            of the expected resolution date.

         B. Qwest makes no warranties, express or implied, as to any Service
            provided hereunder, except as expressly provided herein. Without
            limiting any representation or warranty as expressly provided
            herein, Qwest specifically disclaims any and all implied warranties,
            including without limitation, any implied warranties of
            merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or title or
            non-infringement.

                                     Notice
    The information contained herein should not be disclosed to unauthorized
      persons. It is meant for use by authorized representatives of Qwest
                               and Customer only.

         C. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.G and Section 18,
            if Qwest, directly due to its negligence or willful misconduct,
            fails to bill Customer's Billing Transactions, the Parties agree as
            set forth below in this Section 10.C.

            1. Qwest will promptly reprocess and bill the Billing Transactions.

               a. In cases where the rebilling would occur within one-hundred
                  and eighty (180) days from the initial receipt of the Billing
                  Transaction and Qwest reasonably determines that such
                  reprocessing is unfeasible from an economic, technical or
                  marketing perspective, Qwest will pay to Customer the amount
                  determined by applying the formula set forth in Section
                  10.C.2. Such payment will be made to Customer within thirty
                  (30) days from date of determination not to reprocess; and

               b. In cases where the rebilling would occur more than one-hundred
                  eighty (180) days after such billing would normally have
                  occurred, such rebilling will be performed only upon the
                  mutual agreement of the Parties. Absent such rebilling of
                  Billing Transactions, Qwest will pay to Customer the amount
                  determined by applying the formula set forth in Section
                  10.C.2. Such payment will be made to Customer within thirty
                  (30) days from the date of mutual agreement not to rebill. If
                  the Parties determine that reprocessing will not be done,
                  Qwest will be liable to Customer for the actual revenue
                  associated with the Billing Transactions not processed; and

            2. If Qwest cannot bill and Customer cannot resubmit such Billing
               Transactions, Qwest will estimate, in cooperation with Customer,
               the volume of such Billing Transactions and associated revenue,
               based on the most comparable previously known values, less
               Uncollectibles and Adjustments. Where the most comparable values
               are unknown, the estimated revenue associated with such unbilled
               Billing Transactions will be mutually agreed upon. Qwest will pay
               to Customer an amount equal to the estimated revenue associated
               with such unbilled Billing Transactions, less Adjustments,
               Uncollectibles and Bill Production charges, commensurate with
               such revenue. Payment to Customer will be made within thirty (30)
               days from the date of determination of such amount.

            3. For the purposes of this Agreement, if Qwest prints a bill that
               includes a Billing Transaction that complies with Section 4.D,
               and deposits the bill with the United States Postal Service, it
               will be deemed to have "billed" the Billing Transaction contained
               on such bill.

         D. Subject to and except as set forth in Section 10.C, Qwest's total
            liability for breach, non-performance or inadequate performance of
            its obligations hereunder and Customer's sole and exclusive remedy
            for any loss, cost, claim, injury, liability, or expense, including
            reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively, "Losses"), regardless of
            theory, for the following occurrences, will be limited to the lesser
            of the amounts paid by Customer hereunder, or the amount of actual
            damages incurred measured and further limited as follows:

               Accounts resulting in increased net bad debt, Qwest's total
               liability and Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses
               resulting from this failure to perform, regardless of theory,
               will be limited to the associated actual price of the Bill
               Production charges paid by Customer for those uncollected
               accounts; and

            2. If Qwest, due to its gross negligence or willful misconduct,
               fails to perform or negligently performs any other Service
               specified in this Agreement, Qwest's total liability and
               Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses resulting
               from this failure to perform, regardless of theory, will be
               limited to the associated actual price of the Services
               negligently performed or not performed (including, without
               limitation, any indirect damages payable by Qwest to a third
               party).

         E. Customer's liability to Qwest (as distinct from Customer's
            obligation to pay for Services provided pursuant to this Agreement)
            for any Losses, regardless of theory, will be limited to the amount
            of actual damages incurred by Qwest (including, without limitation,
            any indirect damages payable by Qwest to a third party).

         F. Qwest assumes no liability for, and Customer will be solely
            responsible and liable with respect to, the accuracy of Billing
            Transactions submitted by Customer and provided by Customer to Qwest
            for billing.

         G. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no
            event will Qwest be liable for any errors or Losses caused by any
            inaccurate or incomplete Customer instructions, whether written or
            verbal, associated with Customer requested changes, or by Customer's
            failure to comply with Section 3.D.

         H. In no event will either Party be liable to the other for any claim
            or cause of action requesting or claiming any incidental,
            consequential, special, indirect, statutory, punitive or reliance
            damages. Any claim or cause of action requesting or claiming such
            damages is specifically waived and barred, whether such damages were
            foreseeable or not or a Party was notified in advance of the
            possibility of such damages, unless such claim or cause of action is
            part of any claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 12
            hereof. Damages prohibited under this Agreement will include,
            without limitation, damage or loss of property or equipment, loss of
            profits, revenues or savings, cost of capital, cost of replacement

            taxes with respect to DPS Billing Transactions or on any taxes
            applied to Qwest-issued Adjustments of Customer Billing
            Transactions.

11.      Data Retention

         Customer agrees to retain copies of all files transmitted or in any
         other fashion forwarded to Qwest for a minimum of one hundred and
         eighty (180) days after date of original transmission to Qwest.
         Customer further agrees to retransmit or re-forward files upon request
         of Qwest at no cost to Qwest. Customer will exercise commercially
         reasonable efforts to retransmit or re-send such files no later than
         five (5) Business Days from receipt of a request from Qwest. However,
         in the event Qwest cannot receive the original transmission due to
         transmission system failure, improperly formatted data on the file, or
         other reasons related to Customer, Customer will exercise commercially
         reasonable efforts to immediately retransmit the file upon correction
         of the problem causing the failure. The Parties agree that Customer
         will exclusively and solely own all information of the End Users that
         is transmitted hereunder, together with all aggregated or generated
         data and compilations solely containing such information and generated
         hereunder, and such information will be subject to Section 17, other
         than those components of such information provided to Customer under
         the List License Agreement for the Use of Directory Publisher Lists and
         Directory Delivery Lists of even date herewith by and between Qwest and
         Customer, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from
         time to time.

         A. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10, each Party will
            indemnify (the "Indemnifying Party") and hold harmless the other
            Party (the "Indemnified Party") and its directors, officers,
            employees, affiliates, agents and assigns from and against any and
            all Losses directly or indirectly based upon, arising from or
            resulting from such Party's failure to perform any of its
            obligations under this Agreement.

         B. Customer will, except to the extent of Qwest's gross negligence,
            fraud or willful misconduct, indemnify and hold harmless Qwest, from
            and against any Losses awarded to or assessed by third parties,
            directly relating to or arising out of Qwest's billing of Customer's
            Billing Transactions, including but not limited to claims of End
            Users and claims, complaints or proceedings of any Governmental
            Entity (it being agreed and understood by the Parties that no
            indemnification will be made under this Section 12.B for Losses
            arising out of any claims asserted against Qwest for its billing or
            other business activities generally which is not specifically
            attributable to Qwest's billing of Customer's Billing Transactions).

         C. The Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party promptly in
            writing of any written claims, lawsuits, or demands by third parties
            for which the Indemnified Party alleges that the Indemnifying Party
            is responsible under this Section and, at the request of the
            Indemnifying Party, tender the defense of such claim, lawsuit or
            demand to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party also will
            cooperate in every reasonable manner with the defense or settlement
            of such claim, demand, or lawsuit.

         D. The Indemnifying Party will not be liable under this Section for
            settlements by the Indemnified Party of any claim, demand, or
            lawsuit unless the Indemnifying Party has approved the settlement in
            advance or unless the defense of the claim, demand, or lawsuit has

            been tendered to the Indemnifying Party in writing and the
            Indemnifying Party has failed promptly to undertake the defense.

         E. Under the terms of this Agreement, Qwest may provide to Customer
            certain information regarding Customer's subscribers. Qwest is
            releasing to Customer such information based on Qwest's first-hand
            knowledge of its own experiences with the End User involved.
            Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Qwest harmless from
            and against any Losses, regardless of theory, arising out of or
            related to the release of any Customer subscriber information by
            Qwest to Customer of a type that is not otherwise customarily
            released by Qwest to its other billing and collection customers.

         F. Customer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Qwest from and
            against any Losses relating to or arising from the calculation and
            application of taxes upon the receipt of Customer's Billing
            Transactions or the application of taxes on Qwest-issued Adjustments
            of Customer's Billing Transactions.

13.      Taxes

         A. General Provisions

            1. Customer will be liable for all Customer Taxes. "Customer Taxes"
               will be defined as: (i) all state and local sales, use,
               value-added, gross receipts, foreign, privilege, utility,
               infrastructure maintenance, property, federal excise and similar
               levies, duties and other similar tax-like charges lawfully levied
               by a duly constituted taxing authority against or upon the
               Customer's services provided to its End Users; and (ii)
               tax-related surcharges or fees that are related to the Customer's
               services provided to its End Users and authorized by applicable
               tariffs. However, Customer will not be liable for any Taxes
               imposed on or measured by the net income or net worth of Qwest
               (including the Washington State Business and Occupation Tax).

            2. Customer understands and agrees that Qwest is merely providing
               Services with respect to the billing and collection of amounts
               owed to Customer by End Users and Customer Taxes hereunder. Qwest
               will not report these billings as its own receipts for gross
               receipts tax purposes or any other tax purpose. Qwest will have
               no responsibility for the preparation or filing of returns or
               payments of Customer Taxes other than as required by law. Qwest
               will not retain or be entitled to receive from Customer any
               statutory fee or share of Customer Taxes to which the person
               collecting such Customer Taxes is or may be entitled to under
               applicable law.

            3. Customer will be solely responsible for the computation,
               reporting, and payment of all Customer Taxes and surcharges
               applicable to the services provided by Customer to its End Users
               and will be solely responsible for separately identifying the
               applicable Taxes for its End Users. Where applicable, Customer
               agrees to populate the appropriate indicators to advise Qwest
               that the DPS Billing Transaction is tax-exempt or that all

                                     Notice
    The information contained herein should not be disclosed to unauthorized
      persons. It is meant for use by authorized representatives of Qwest
                               and Customer only.

               applicable taxes have been included in the Billing Transaction
               amount or submitted in a separate Billing Transaction.

            4. Any communications from End Users relating to Customer Taxes will
               be the responsibility of Customer. Customer will respond promptly
               to all complaints lodged by End Users regarding Customer's
               treatment. All determinations as to the removal, addition, or
               adjustment of Customer Taxes to be billed to End Users will be
               the responsibility of Customer. To the extent Adjustments are
               made by Customer, with respect to Customers' DPS services billed
               by Qwest under this Agreement, such Adjustments will include all
               applicable federal, state and local taxes or tax related items.
               All communications with taxing authorities regarding Customer
               Taxes applicable to Customer's transactions will be the
               responsibility of Customer. Any communication Qwest receives from
               an End User or taxing authority regarding Customer Taxes will be
               referred promptly to Customer.

            5. In the event any federal, state, or local laws, court orders, or
               agency orders, rules, or regulations direct a change to the
               billing or reporting of taxes, or bill presentation of taxes, and
               such change necessitates a billing system modification, Customer
               will be required to pay for such modification.

            6. In the event that Customer has requested a change in Customer Tax
               procedures and no change has been implemented due to the
               inability of Qwest and Customer to agree upon Customer
               reimbursing Qwest for the cost of such changes, any audit
               assessment related thereto will not be deemed to be a willful or
               negligent failure of Qwest to perform its contractual obligations
               hereunder.

            7. Customer will be liable for all applicable Service Taxes.
               "Service Taxes" will be defined as: (i) all state and local
               sales, use, value-added, gross receipts, foreign, privilege,
               utility, infrastructure maintenance, property, federal excise and
               similar levies, duties and other similar tax-like charges
               lawfully levied by a duly constituted taxing authority against or
               upon the Services performed by Qwest under this Agreement; and
               (ii) tax-related surcharges or fees that are related to the
               Services performed by Qwest under this Agreement and authorized
               by applicable tariffs. However, Customer will not be liable for
               any Taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or net worth
               of Qwest (including the Washington State Business and Occupation
               Tax). The cost of Service Taxes is not part of the price agreed
               upon for Services under this Agreement and will be in addition
               thereto.

            8. All audit adjustments to Service Taxes, associated interest and
               penalties will be the liability of Customer. Should any federal,
               state or local jurisdiction determine that any such additional
               Service Taxes are due by Qwest as a result of Qwest's performance
               of any obligation under this Agreement, Qwest will notify
               Customer within ten (10) days after Qwest receives a formal
               assessment from a taxing jurisdiction for any additional Service
               Taxes. Customer will have the opportunity to advise Qwest in the
               response to said assessment. Absent receipt of a written response
               within ten (10) days after mailing

                                     Notice

               of the notice, Qwest may elect at its sole discretion to pay the
               assessment and obtain reimbursement from Customer. Customer will
               pay Qwest within thirty (30) days after the date Qwest provides
               Customer a copy of such assessment and payment.

            9. In the event Qwest notifies Customer of an assessment and
               Customer wishes to appeal such assessment, Qwest agrees to
               reasonably cooperate with Customer in any defense of such claim
               or liability by: 1) providing documentation in its possession and
               control that is reasonably related to the provision of Services
               and for which a claim of indemnification is made by Qwest
               hereunder, 2) making personnel available as is reasonably
               necessary for deposition or testimony at the trial or hearing in
               any action brought for which a claim for indemnification is made
               by Qwest hereunder, and 3) authorizing Customer to defend in and
               for the name of Qwest any action brought by a taxing jurisdiction
               regarding the Service Taxes. All reasonable costs incurred by
               Qwest in the provision of these and other requested services will
               be at the expense of Customer, including the payment of any tax,
               interest and penalties necessary to pursue an appeal against an
               audit assessment.

         B. Taxes - Indemnity and Recourse:

            1. Customer will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend (at Customer's
               expense) Qwest from any Customer Tax, and any Losses associated
               therewith, relating to or arising out of Customer's failure (to
               the extent not attributable to a negligent act or omission of
               Qwest) to pay any Customer Tax or file any return as required by
               law or to comply with any applicable tax laws or regulations, in
               accordance with this Agreement. In the event Qwest is assessed
               any Customer Taxes imposed by reason of this Agreement, Customer
               will be liable for all such taxes and the cost of defense of such
               assessment.

            2. Qwest will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend (at Qwest's
               expense), Customer from and against any Losses arising from
               additional penalties incurred by Customer as a result of the
               grossly negligent failure of Qwest to provide Customer accurate
               and complete information in relation to DPS billing in accordance
               with the terms of this Agreement.

            3. The obligation of Qwest and Customer with regard to any indemnity
               or reimbursement pursuant to this Section will expire upon the
               later of thirty (30) days after: 1) the expiration of all
               applicable statutes of limitations on any potential or actual
               obligation or liability of Qwest and/or Customer, 2) the entry of
               a non-appealable final order in a court of law or administrative
               agency in any action brought which claims or alleges that Qwest
               or Customer owes any such taxes to the taxing jurisdiction, or 3)
               payment to the taxing jurisdiction under an agreement entered
               into with such taxing jurisdiction in full settlement for any and
               all liabilities which are, or may be alleged to be, due and
               payable with respect to this Agreement.

            notice of its election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
            clause (ii), Customer's sole and exclusive obligation upon
            termination under this Section 16.B, except as otherwise expressly

            also pay all of Qwest's costs incurred in terminating Services and
            effecting the transition of Services to Customer or Customer's
            designated provider.

         C. In the event of a Governmental Entity order that requires Qwest to
            no longer provide the Services to Customer in any state or service
            area of Customer, Qwest may terminate this Agreement (or the
            affected service area(s)) immediately; provided, however, that Qwest
            will, in good faith and using commercially reasonable efforts,
            object to and attempt to prevent the implementation of any such
            order and will solicit advice from Customer regarding how to prevent
            such order.

         D. The Parties agree that upon termination or expiration of this
            Agreement they will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to
            effect the transition of the Services to Customer or Customer's
            designated provider. Qwest agrees to bill for Billing Transactions
            that Qwest determines to have been in the billing system as of the
            date of termination or expiration. Unless otherwise agreed by the
            Parties, Qwest will continue to provide such transition Services for
            an interim period, not to exceed twelve (12) months from the date of
            termination or expiration, as described in Exhibit D, Section 13.
            Customer will pay Qwest for all Services provided to Customer during
            such transition period in accordance with the payment terms set
            forth in this Agreement.

17.      Proprietary and Confidential Information

         A. As used herein, "Confidential Information" will mean information
            disclosed by one Party to the other in the course of the provision
            of Services, and will include the existence of this Agreement and
            all of its terms, conditions and provisions.

         B. Qwest and Customer agree to hold such Confidential Information in
            strictest confidence and will use same solely for the purposes of
            this Agreement unless otherwise authorized in writing by the other
            Party. Neither Party will disclose such Confidential Information to
            anyone except (i) its employees, agents, consultants or
            subcontractors to whom disclosure is necessary for the purposes set
            forth in this Agreement or (ii) as required by law, rule, regulation
            or court order (and the Party that is required to make such
            disclosure will first notify the other Party of such disclosure
            obligation). The disclosing Party will appropriately notify each
            employee, agent, consultant and/or subcontractor to whom disclosure
            is made that such disclosure is made in confidence and must be kept
            in confidence in accordance with this Agreement

         C. All Confidential Information, unless otherwise specified in writing,
            will remain the property of the disclosing Party. Confidential
            Information will not be reproduced except to the extent necessary to
            accomplish the purpose and intent of this Agreement, or as otherwise
            may be permitted in writing by the disclosing Party. In the event
            the disclosing Party grants the other Party permission to copy
            Confidential Information, the Party seeking such permission agrees
            that each such copy will contain and state the same confidential or
            proprietary notices or legends that appear on the original. Nothing
            in this Agreement will be construed as granting any right or license
            under any copyrights, inventions or patents now or hereafter owned
            or

                                     Notice
    The information contained herein should not be disclosed to unauthorized
      persons. It is meant for use by authorized representatives of Qwest
                               and Customer only.

            controlled by either Party. All Confidential Information, including
            copies thereof, will be returned to the disclosing Party or
            destroyed after the recipient Party's need for it has expired or
            upon the request of the disclosing Party.

         D. The obligations imposed in this Agreement will not apply to any
            information that is:

            1. is or becomes publicly available other than through disclosure by
               the recipient Party;

            2. becomes available to the recipient Party from a third party who
               is under no restriction with respect to disclosure of such
               information;

            3. is independently developed by the recipient Party; or

            4. is communicated by the recipient Party to a third party with
               express written consent of the disclosing Party.

         E. Without the prior consent of the other Party, neither Party will
            disclose to any third person, other than as provided in paragraph B
            above, the existence or purpose of this Agreement, the terms or
            conditions hereof, nor the fact that discussions are taking place
            and that Confidential Information is being shared. Furthermore,
            neither Party nor its agents will reveal the other as the source of
            Confidential Information described in this Agreement without its
            express, prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
            Customer may advise its End Users that it will bill for its DPS
            services through Qwest.

18.      Force Majeure

         A. In no event will either Party be liable to the other for any delay
            or other failure to perform hereunder that is due to: (i) the other
            Party's unreasonable delay in supplying or failure to supply
            information, materials or services expressly provided for under the
            terms of this Agreement; or (ii) occurrences or circumstances beyond
            such Party's reasonable control (including epidemic, riot,
            unavailability of resources due to national defense priorities, war,
            armed hostilities, strike, walkouts, civil disobedience, embargo,
            fire, flood, drought, storm, pestilence, lightning, explosion, power
            blackout, earthquake, volcanic eruption or any act, order or
            requirement of a regulatory body, court or legislature, civil or
            military authority, foreseeable or unforeseeable act of God, act of
            a public enemy, act of terrorism, act of sabotage, act or omission
            of carriers, or other natural catastrophe or civil disturbance)
            during the period and to the extent that such extraordinary
            condition delays, impairs or prevents such Party's performance (each
            a, "Force Majeure Condition"). If either Party does not perform any
            of its obligations hereunder as a result of a Force Majeure
            Condition, and the other Party's performance of its obligations
            hereunder are conditioned upon the first Party's performance, then
            notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
            other Party's performance will be excused (including payment
            obligations) until such time as the first Party has performed those
            obligations prevented by the Force Majeure Condition.

                                     Notice
    The information contained herein should not be disclosed to unauthorized
      persons. It is meant for use by authorized representatives of Qwest
                               and Customer only.

         B. If any such Force Majeure Condition occurs and results in a delay or
            failure in performance of any part of a Party's obligations under
            this Agreement for more than sixty (60) days, the other Party may,
            by written notice given to the Party whose performance was delayed
            or who failed to perform, immediately terminate that part of this
            Agreement that will be affected by such delay or failure to perform,
            without penalty.

19.      Default

         A. A failure by either Party to perform any material agreement,
            obligation or covenant in this Agreement, and any material breath of
            a representation or warranty made in this Agreement, in each case
            that is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice
            thereof from the other Party (unless a shorter or longer period is
            expressly set forth herein) will be deemed to be a default.

         B. If a breach is capable of remedy, a Party may cure such breach by
            taking all of the following steps prior to the end of the applicable
            cure period: (1) notifying the non-breaching Party, in writing, that
            the breaching Party wishes to cure the breach and continue the
            Agreement; (2) terminating any breaching acts, omissions, or
            behaviors; (3) correcting any existing breaches, including, but not
            limited to paying any charges due under this Agreement; and (4)
            providing security reasonably satisfactory to the non-breaching
            Party, such as a performance bond in an appropriate amount. Any
            material breach must be cured expeditiously and within the thirty
            (30) day cure period.

         C. If there is a good faith objection or dispute in connection with
            whether a breach (as described in Section 19.A) exists following the
            end of the cure period, if applicable, the Parties will attempt in
            good faith to resolve such dispute and determine the appropriate
            remedial action pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 8.

         D. Upon the determination that a default exists (and following the
            actions, if any, required or available to be taken under Section
            19.B and/or Section 19.C), in addition to all other rights and
            remedies provided herein or at law or equity, the non-defaulting
            Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement in whole or in
            part, without any further obligation to the other (except the
            discharge of obligations incurred prior to the effective date of
            termination).

20.      Amendments; Waivers

         This Agreement or any part thereof or any Exhibits hereto or documents
         referred to herein may be modified or additional provisions may be
         added by written agreement signed by or on behalf of both Parties. No
         amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent
         to any default under this Agreement will be effective unless the same
         will be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Party against whom
         such amendment, waiver or consent is claimed. In addition, no course of
         dealing or failure of any Party to strictly enforce any term, right or
         condition of this Agreement will be construed as a waiver of such term,
         right or condition.

                                     Notice
    The information contained herein should not be disclosed to unauthorized
      persons. It is meant for use by authorized representatives of Qwest

21.      Assignment

         Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder are
         assignable by one Party without the express prior written consent of
         the other Party; provided, however, that: (i) either Party may assign
         this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party to any of its
         Affiliates without the consent of the other Party if the assigning
         Party requires such Affiliate to agree in writing to assume this
         Agreement and the assigning Party remains liable for its obligations
         hereunder; (ii) a Change of Control of either Party will not be deemed
         to be an assignment of this Agreement, provided that if the relevant
         Party is no longer directly bound as a party to this Agreement (e.g.,
         because the Change of Control is a sale or transfer of assets or is the
         result of a transaction pursuant to which the successor, surviving or
         acquiring entity does not automatically succeed to the obligations of
         such Party by operation of law), the successor, surviving or acquiring
         entity is required to agree in writing (whether as part of the
         acquisition agreement that provides for the other Party to be a third
         party beneficiary or in a separate agreement) to assume this Agreement
         (iii) Customer may assign this Agreement and the rights and obligations
         under it to its lenders for collateral security purposes, so long as
         Customer remains liable for its obligations hereunder; and (iv)
         Customer may assign this Agreement with respect to a particular service
         area(s) in the Qwest Region to any person (other than an affiliate of
         Customer) upon written notice to Qwest so long as Customer will require
         the acquiring person to agree in writing (whether as part of the
         acquisition agreement with Customer that provides for Qwest to be a
         third party beneficiary or in a separate agreement) to assume this
         Agreement and Customer will have no rights or obligations under this
         Agreement with respect to such service area(s).

22.      Notices and Demands

with or does not share facilities, sales personnel or other key employees with
Publisher; (ii) is not consolidated financially with Publisher; (iii) does not
have a product bundling or similar joint venture or strategic alliances
agreement, arrangement or product offering with Publisher with respect to Buyer
Restricted Activities; or (iv) does not have a revenue-sharing or similar
agreement arrangement with Publisher with respect to Buyer Restricted
Activities.

                  (c) Nothing contained in this Agreement will prohibit the
Buyer Parties or any Applicable Buyer Successors (in each case together with
their respective Affiliates) from holding

                                       8
<PAGE>

and making passive investments in securities of any Person whose securities are
publicly traded in a generally recognized market, provided that the Buyer
Parties' and any Applicable Buyer Successors respective equity interest therein
does not exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares or interests in such
Person and the Buyer Parties and any Applicable Buyer Successors (and their
respective Affiliates) have no effective control over management or policies of
such Person.

                  (d) Without limiting any restriction with respect to the Buyer
Parties' use of trademarks and trade names as set forth in the Trademark License
Agreement or Exhibit C to the Publishing Agreement, the Qwest Parties
acknowledge and agree that the Buyer Parties and any Applicable Buyer Successors
and its Affiliates will have no restrictions with respect to any Voice Portal
Directory.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                           NON-SOLICITATION COVENANTS

         For a period of two (2) years from the Effective Date and except as
expressly contemplated in the Separation Agreement, none of the Qwest Parties or
the Buyer Parties will, without the prior written approval of the applicable
other party, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit for hire any employees of such
other party; (ii) induce any such employee of such other party to terminate
their relationship with such other party; or (iii) in the case of the Qwest
Parties, solicit for hire or hire any of Dex's senior management team from their
employment with Publisher. The foregoing will not apply to individuals hired as
a result of the use of an independent employment agency (so long as the agency
was not directed to solicit a particular individual) or as a result of the use
of a general solicitation (such as a newspaper advertisement or on radio or
television) not specifically directed to employees of any other party.

                                   ARTICLE 5
                               DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         5.1 NOTICE, CURE AND ESCALATION.

                  (a) Notice. Each party will promptly notify the other of any
activities it believes violates any of its rights under Article 2, Article 3 or
Article 4, as applicable (a "RESTRICTED ACTIVITY NOTICE"), which Restricted
Activity Notice must indicate whether such party reasonably believes the alleged
or threatened breach is capable of remedy. The party receiving the Restricted
Activity Notice will respond in writing within five (5) Business Days,
describing any objection to the matters described in the Restricted Activity
Notice (including any disagreement as to whether or not any such restricted
activities exist) or, if such matters are not objected to, describing its
intentions regarding remedy and the termination of the restricted activities.

                  (b) Cure. If a breach or threatened breach of a party's
obligations pursuant to Article 2, Article 3 or Article 4, as applicable, is
capable of remedy (a "REMEDIABLE BREACH"), and if such matters are not objected
to in a timely written response, the party receiving the Restricted Activity
Notice will have ninety (90) days after receipt of such Restricted Activity
Notice to cure such Remediable Breach ("COVENANT CURE PERIOD"); provided,
however, that such Covenant Cure Period will be extended for such additional
period of time as will be

                                       9
<PAGE>

reasonably necessary if such Remediable Breach is incapable of remedy within the
initial Covenant Cure Period, so long as during the initial Covenant Cure Period
the party receiving the Restricted Activity Notice diligently endeavors to
remedy such Remediable Breach, and if such extension would not reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the non-breaching party. If the
existence of a Remediable Breach is disputed in good faith and a timely manner,
but it is then determined pursuant to Section 5.1(c) or Section 5.2 that such
Remediable Breach exists, the party receiving the Restricted Activity Notice
will then have thirty (30) days from the date of such determination to cure such
Remediable Breach; provided, however, that this will not prevent any extension
of the Covenant Cure Period as set forth above, if applicable.

                  (c) Escalation. If there is any continuing objection or
dispute in connection with a Restricted Activity Notice following the Covenant
Cure Period, if applicable, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve
such dispute and determine the appropriate remedial action, as follows: (i) the
dispute will first be referred to a senior executive officer of QCII or QC and
Publisher, as applicable, for ten (10) Business Days of the submission of the
dispute to them; and (ii) if such senior executive officers are unable to
resolve any such dispute within ten (10) Business Days, then the parties will
submit the dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 5.2 below and
pursue such other remedies as may be permitted pursuant to Article 6.

         5.2 ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Any dispute, controversy or claim
arising under or related to this Agreement, regardless of the legal theory upon
which it is based, will be settled by final, binding arbitration pursuant to the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section. 1 et seq., in accordance with the
American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules. Nothing herein
will, however, prohibit a party from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive
relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. In any arbitration, the number of
arbitrators will be three, the Qwest Parties, on the one hand, and the Buyer
Parties, on the other hand, each having the right to appoint one arbitrator, who
will together appoint a third neutral arbitrator within thirty (30) days after
the appointment of the last party-designated arbitrator. All arbitration
proceedings will take place in Denver, Colorado. The arbitrators will be
entitled to award monetary and equitable relief, including specific performance
and other injunctive relief; provided, however, that only damages allowed
pursuant to this Agreement may be awarded (including Publisher Liquidated
Damages and Service Area Default Liquidated Damages, but otherwise excluding
consequential, punitive or other special damages). Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Section 5.2, each party will bear the expenses of its own
counsel and will jointly bear the expenses of the arbitrators. The arbitrators
will allocate the remaining costs of the arbitration proceeding. The parties
agree that the arbitrators will include, as an item of damages, the costs of
arbitration, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by the
prevailing party if the arbitrators determine that either (i) the non-prevailing
party did not act in good faith when disputing its liability hereunder to the
prevailing party or when initiating a claim against the prevailing party, or
(ii) the prevailing party has had to resort to arbitration with respect to a
substantially similar claim (whether or not with respect to the same Service
Area) more than twice in any thirty-six (36) month period. Should it become
necessary to resort or respond to court proceedings to enforce a party's
compliance with this Section 5.2, such proceedings will be brought only in the
federal or state courts located in the State and County of New York, which will
have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any disputes with respect to this
Agreement, with each party irrevocably consenting to the jurisdiction thereof.
If the court directs or otherwise requires compliance herewith, then all costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the party

                                       10
<PAGE>

requesting such compliance, will be reimbursed by the non-complying party to the
requesting party.

                                   ARTICLE 6
                            REMEDIES AND ENFORCEMENT

         6.1 REMEDIES. If any breaching party fails to cure any breach or
threatened breach after notice thereof and, if applicable, expiration of the
Covenant Cure Period, the non-breaching party will have the following rights and
remedies, each of which will be independent of the other and severally
enforceable, and all of which will be in addition to and not in lieu of any
other rights and remedies available to such party under law or in equity (except
as provided in Section 6.2):

                  (a) Injunctive Relief. Each party recognizes and agrees that a
breach or threatened breach of any of such party's obligations pursuant to
Article 2, Article 3 or Article 4, as applicable, would cause irreparable harm
to the other party and its Affiliates, that such party's remedies at law in the
event of such breach or threatened breach would be inadequate, and that,
accordingly in the event of such breach, a restraining order or injunction or
both may be issued against the breaching party, in addition to, and not in lieu
of, any other right or remedy that may be available to the other party, without
posting any bond or other form of security and without the necessity of proving
actual damages. In connection with any such action or proceeding for injunctive
relief, each party hereby waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone
is adequate and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have each
provision of this Section 6.1 specifically enforced against if it is the
breaching party, and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against if it is
the breaching party, enforcing or restraining any breach or threatened breach of
its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (b) Accounting. The right and remedy to require the breaching
party to account for and pay over to the non-breaching direct damages caused by
the breaching party as a result of the actions constituting a breach, as
determined pursuant to Section 5.2, of such party's obligations pursuant to
Article 2, Article 3 or Article 4, as applicable

         6.2 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

                  (a) Publisher's Liquidated Damages. The parties acknowledge
and agree that:

                           (i)      Publisher would not have entered into the
LLC Purchase Agreement and the LLC II Purchase Agreement, if QC had not
simultaneously agreed to be bound by this Agreement and the Publishing Agreement
and that QC's performance of this Agreement and the Publishing Agreement form a
significant part of the benefit that Publisher intends to realize in entering
into the LLC Purchase Agreement and the LLC II Purchase Agreement;

                           (ii)     the amount of damages (including direct,
indirect and consequential) that Publisher would incur as a result of a Material
Default would be substantial and significant, and would likely include, among
other things, significant lost profits and opportunity costs; and

                                       11
<PAGE>

                           (iii)    because there are many variables that could
affect the amount of such damages, quantifying the amount of such damages would
be impossible at this time.

Therefore, in order to reasonably approximate the probable damages to Publisher
stemming from a Material Default that remains uncured after the applicable
dispute resolution and cure period as provided for in Article 5, and to provide
certainty to the parties with respect to such damages, each of the Parties
agrees that, in the event of (i) a Material Default or (ii) any formal
repudiation or rejection of this Agreement by QC (except in such cases where a
Qwest Party is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms and
conditions hereof), Publisher will be entitled to receive a payment from QC (the
"PUBLISHER LIQUIDATED DAMAGES") equal to the following amount: (A) prior to the
Second Closing or following the termination of the LLC II Purchase Agreement,
thirty percent (30%) of the Closing Purchase Price set forth in the LLC Purchase
Agreement (as adjusted by any agreed post-closing adjustment) less the amounts,
if any, paid to Publisher by or on behalf of QC pursuant to Section 6.2(b); or
(B) following the Second Closing, thirty percent (30%) of the sum of the Closing
Purchase Price set forth in each of the LLC Purchase Agreement and the LLC II
Purchase Agreement (each as adjusted by any agreed post-closing adjustment) less
the aggregate amount, if any, paid to Publisher by or on behalf of QC pursuant
to Section 6.2(b).

                  (b) Service Area Default Liquidated Damages. In order to
reasonably approximate the probable damages to Publisher stemming from a breach
of Section 2.2(b) or a Material Default by one or more of the Qwest Parties with
respect to a particular Service Area (a "SERVICE AREA DEFAULT"), each of the
parties agree that, in the event of a Service Area Default that remains uncured
after the applicable dispute resolution and cure period as provided for in
Article 5, the Buyer Parties will be entitled to receive a payment from the
Qwest Parties (each of whom will be jointly and severally liable for such
payment) (the "SERVICE AREA DEFAULT LIQUIDATED DAMAGES") equal to the following
amount: the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the population
in the Service Area(s) reflected in the most recently completed United States
Census, and the denominator of which is the population in the Publisher Region
as so reflected, times (ii) thirty percent (30%) of (A) the Closing Purchase
Price set forth in the LLC Purchase Agreement (as adjusted by any post-closing
adjustment pursuant thereto) if the Service Area Default occurs prior to the
Second Closing or following the termination of the LLC II Purchase Agreement or
(B) the sum of the Closing Purchase Price set forth in each of the LLC Purchase
Agreement and the LLC II Purchase Agreement (each as adjusted by any
post-closing adjustment pursuant thereto) if the Service Area Default occurs
following the Second Closing.

                  (c) Additional Acknowledgements. Each party acknowledges and
agrees that:

                           (i)      as set forth in subsections (a) and (b)
above, the Publisher Liquidated Damages and the Service Area Default Liquidated
Damages are intended to be a reasonable measure of the anticipated probable harm
resulting from, respectively, a Material Default and a Service Area Default;

                           (ii)     the parties acknowledge that the damages
actually incurred by Publisher (including actual, direct, indirect,
consequential, special and other damages) might

                                       12
<PAGE>

exceed or be less than the amount of the Publisher Liquidated Damages or the
Service Area Default Liquidated Damages, as applicable;

                           (iii)    neither the Publisher Liquidated Damages nor
the Service Area Default Liquidated Damages is a penalty of any kind; and

                           (iv)     the Publisher Liquidated Damages and the
Service Area Default Liquidated Damages were negotiated at arms-length between
parties of equal bargaining power, both of which were represented by competent
counsel.

                  (d) Waiver. QC hereby waives, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, any defense as to the validity of, respectively, the Publisher
Liquidated Damages and the Service Area Default Liquidated Damages in this
Agreement and the Publishing Agreement on the grounds that such Publisher
Liquidated Damages or Service Area Default Liquidated Damages are void as
penalties

                  (e) In Lieu of Actual Damages. Each party agrees that the
Publisher Liquidated Damages and the Service Area Default Liquidated Damages
will be in lieu of actual, direct, indirect, consequential, special or other
damages for, respectively, a Material Default and a Service Area Default and the
collection of such Publisher Liquidated Damages or Service Area Default
Liquidated Damages, as applicable, is the sole remedy of Publisher in the event
of a Material Default or Service Area Default and, upon exercise, constitutes an
election to terminate this Agreement as a whole (in connection with Publisher
Liquidated Damages) or with respect to the applicable Service Area(s) (in
connection with Service Area Default Liquidated Damages).

                  (f) In Lieu of Liquidated Damages Under Publishing Agreement.
The parties agree that the Publisher Liquidated Damages and Service Area Default
Liquidated Damages provided in this Agreement may only be exercised by Publisher
in lieu of, and not in addition to, the liquidated damages provisions contained
in the Publishing Agreement and that such remedies are exclusive of and not
cumulative with one another. Under no circumstances will Publisher be entitled
to receive Publisher Liquidated Damages or Service Area Default Liquidated
Damages, as applicable, under both this Agreement and the Publishing Agreement
no will Publisher be entitled to receive Publisher Liquidated Damages on more
than one occasion.

                  (g) Enforceability. Notwithstanding (d) above, if any portion
of this Section 6.2 is held to be unenforceable for any reason, it will be
adjusted rather than voided, if possible, to achieve the intent of the parties.
All other provisions of this Section 6.2 will be deemed valid and enforceable to
the extent possible. Moreover, if this Section is deemed unenforceable, QC
acknowledges that Publisher has in no way waived a right or claim to receive
damages resulting from a Material Default or a Service Area Default, as
applicable; provided, however. that Publisher will not be entitled to receive
damages in the aggregate in excess of the Publisher Liquidated Damages or
Service Area Default Liquidated Damages, as applicable, to which Publisher would
have been entitled had the provisions of this Section 6.2 been fully enforced.

         6.3 TERM AND TERMINATION.

                  (a) This Agreement will remain in effect until the forty (40)
year anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated in whole or in
part as provided herein.

                                       13
<PAGE>

                  (b) If the Publishing Agreement terminates in accordance with
its terms, either party may terminate this Agreement immediately.

                  (c) If there is a Restricted Activity Default (as defined in
the Publishing Agreement), or if there is an assignment or transfer of this
Agreement as contemplated by Section 7.6 which, if the terms of Section 6.2(d)
of the Publishing Agreement had been applied thereto (at the time of transfer or
any time thereafter, and excluding the last sentence thereof), would have been a
Restricted Activity Default, within any Service Area(s) that remains uncured
after the applicable dispute resolution and cure period as provided for in
Article 5, any Qwest Party may terminate the Qwest Parties' restrictions in
Article 2 and Article 4 with respect to all or a portion of such affected
Service Area(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Person providing
Telecommunications Services (as defined in the Publishing Agreement) with
respect to which the Restricted Activity Default is triggered is not a
Substantial Competitor of QC (which for this purpose a Substantial Competitor
will mean that such Person has a market share for business Telecommunications
Services of twenty percent (20%) or more in the Region or applicable Service
Area(s)), the restrictions in Article 2 and Article 4 will continue to apply
with respect to Directory Products prominently identified with the brand "Qwest"
(or any brand associated with the LEC).

         6.4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The parties expressly agree that the duration,
scope and geographic area of the restrictions set forth in Article 2, Article 3
and Article 4 are reasonable. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that
the covenants and restrictions above are necessary, fundamental and required for
the protection of their respective businesses, that such covenants and
restrictions relate to matters that are of a special, unique and extraordinary
value and that the parties would not enter into the LLC Purchase Agreement, the
LLC II Purchase Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby without the
protection provided by this Agreement.

         6.5 ENFORCEMENT. The covenants set forth in Article 2, Article 3 and
Article 4 will be construed as divided in separate and distinct covenants with
respect to each jurisdiction. If any provision or covenant in this Agreement is
more restrictive than permitted by the laws of any jurisdiction in which either
party seeks enforcement hereof, such provision will be limited to the extent
required to permit enforcement under such laws. If, in any proceeding, a court
or arbitral panel refuses to enforce any of the separate covenants contained
herein, then such unenforceable covenant will be deemed eliminated from this
Agreement for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit
the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. If the provisions of this
Agreement are ever deemed to exceed the duration, geographical limitations or
scope permitted by applicable law, then such provisions will be reformed to the
maximum time or geographic limitations in scope, as the case may be, permitted
by applicable law.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         7.1 CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of the Qwest Parties and the Buyer Parties
agrees that all non-public, confidential information received from the other
party is deemed received pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, and each
party will, and will cause its representatives (as defined in the
Confidentiality Agreement) to, comply with the provisions of the Confidentiality
Agreement

                                       14
<PAGE>

with respect to such information, and the provisions of the Confidentiality
Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference with the same effect as if fully
set forth herein. The obligations contained in this Section 7.1 will survive the
termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year.

         7.2 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party will take such other actions as any
other party may reasonably request or as may be necessary or appropriate to
consummate or implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to
evidence such events or matters.

         7.3 NO AGENCY. Nothing in this Agreement, and no action of or inaction
by any of the parties, will be deemed or construed to constitute an agency
relationship between the parties. Each party is acting independently of the
other and neither party has the authority to act on behalf of or bind the other
party.

         7.4 GOVERNING LAWS; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. This Agreement and the legal
relations between the parties will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and
performed in such State and without regard to conflicts of law doctrines unless
certain matters are preempted by federal law.

         7.5 AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. Except as expressly provided herein, this
Agreement and any attached Exhibit may be amended only by agreement in writing
of all parties. No waiver of any provision nor consent to any exception to the
terms of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by all
parties and then only to the specific purpose, extent and instance so provided.
No failure on the part of any party to exercise or delay in exercising any right
hereunder will be deemed a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial
exercise preclude any further or other exercise of such or any other right.

         7.6 NO ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations
hereunder are assignable by one party without the express prior written consent
of the other party; provided, however, that: (i) either party may assign this
Agreement upon written notice to the other party to any of its Affiliates
without the consent of the other party if the assigning party requires such
Affiliate to agree in writing to assume this Agreement and the assigning party
remains liable for its obligations hereunder; (ii) a Change of Control of either
party will not be deemed to be an assignment of this Agreement, provided that if
the relevant party is no longer directly bound as a party to this Agreement
(e.g., because the Change of Control is a sale or transfer of assets or is the
result of a transaction pursuant to which the successor, surviving or acquiring
entity does not automatically succeed to the obligations of such party by
operation of law), the successor, surviving or acquiring entity is required to
agree in writing (whether as part of the acquisition agreement that provides for
the other party to be a third party beneficiary or in a separate agreement) to
assume this Agreement on substantially similar terms as are then in effect
hereunder; and (iii) Publisher may assign this Agreement as to the Primary
Directories with respect to a particular Service Area(s) to any person (other
than an Affiliate of Publisher) upon written notice to QC so long as Publisher
will require the acquiring Person to agree in writing (whether as part of the
acquisition agreement with Publisher that provides for QC to be a third party
beneficiary or in a separate agreement) to assume this Agreement to the extent
of the relevant Service Area(s) (i.e., that all references to the Publisher
Region will mean the relevant

                                       15
<PAGE>

Service Area(s)), and Publisher will have no rights or obligations under this
Agreement with respect to such Service Area(s).

         7.7 NOTICES. All notices, demands and other communications to be given
or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement will be in
writing and will be deemed to have been given: (i) immediately when personally
delivered; (ii) when received by first class mail, return receipt requested;
(iii) one day after being sent by Federal Express or other overnight delivery
service; or (iv) when receipt is acknowledged, either electronically or
otherwise, if sent by facsimile, telecopy or other electronic transmission
device. Notices, demands and communications to the other party will, unless
another address is specified by such party in writing, be sent to the address

unenforceable for any reason, it will be adjusted rather than voided, if
possible, to achieve the intent of the parties. All other provisions of this
Agreement will be deemed valid and enforceable to the extent possible.
