any trade secret or proprietary rights by reason of the use or sale, in
accordance with LUCENT's specifications, of any Product furnished by LUCENT to
Reseller under this Contract, LUCENT at its expense, will defend Reseller
subject to the conditions and exceptions stated below. LUCENT will reimburse
Reseller for any cost, expense or attorney's fee, incurred by LUCENT's written

substitute free of any infringement, (2) modify it so that it will be free of

LUCENT's expense, furnish all information and assistance available to Reseller
and cooperate in every reasonable way to facilitate the defense and/or
settlement of any such claim, action, proceeding or suit.

No undertaking of LUCENT under this clause shall extend to any such alleged
infringement or violation to the extent that it: (1) arises from adherence to
design modifications, specifications, drawings, or written instructions which
LUCENT is directed by Reseller to follow, but only if such alleged infringement
or violation does not reside in corresponding commercial Product of LUCENT's
design or selection; or (2) arises from adherence to instructions to apply
Reseller's trademark, trade name, or other company identification; or (3)
resides in a Product which is not LUCENT's origin and which is furnished by
Reseller to LUCENT for use under this Contract; or (4) relates to uses of
Product provided by LUCENT in combinations with other Product, furnished either
by LUCENT or others, which combination was not installed, recommended or

Reseller claim any ownership therein. Reseller shall not remove, deface, alter

under this Contract nor shall Reseller place any Mark of any company on any such
Product; provided however that Reseller, consistent with the provisions of this
Clause, may place Reseller's Mark on the Product as provided to SWBT. Any such

whatsoever, whether on account of the loss by LUCENT or Reseller of present or
prospective profits on sales or anticipated sales, or expenditures, investments
or commitments made in connection therewith or in connection with the
establishment, development or maintenance of Reseller's business, or on account
of any other cause or thing whatsoever, provided that termination shall not

29. SEVERABILITY

of the mediation/arbitration as the rules of the selected ADR firm provide.

               limited to such use in advertising or business material of
               Vendor;

          (2)  Remove and return to Lucent or destroy at Lucent's request, any
               and all promotional material supplied without charge by Lucent;

          (3)  Return, upon request, all Lucent Information as described in the
               paragraph Use of Information or provided under the Nondisclosure
               Agreement between the parties dated July 9, 1996, except that
               which Lucent agrees is necessary to operate and maintain
               previously furnished Products;

          (4)  Cease holding itself out, in any other manner, as a Vendor
               capable of purchasing or obtaining Products for or on behalf of
               Bell Atlantic directly from Lucent; and

          (5)  Notify Bell Atlantic and others who may, at the initiation of
               Vendor, identify, list or publish Vendor's name as a Vendor
               capable of purchasing or obtaining Products for or on behalf of
               Bell Atlantic (including but not limited to publishers of other
               businesses directories) to discontinue such listings.

24.  SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS

The respective obligations of Vendor and Lucent under this Agreement which by
their nature would continue beyond the termination, cancellation or expiration
hereof shall survive such termination, cancellation or expiration.

25.  FORCE MAJEURE

Except with respect to Vendor's obligation to make timely payments, neither
party shall be liable to the other party for any loss, damage, delay or failure
of performance resulting directly or indirectly from any cause which is beyond
its reasonable control, including, but not limited to the elements;
extraordinary traffic conditions, riots; civil disturbances, wars; states of
belligerency or acts of the public enemy; labor disputes; strikes, work
stoppages, inability to secure raw materials, product or transportation
facilities; or the laws, regulations, acts or failure to act of any governmental
authority, including but not limited to denial of a U.S. Export License,
hereinafter referred to as "Force Majeure". A Party shall promptly notify the
other party of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event and the notifying party
shall be excused from any further performance of these obligations affected by
the Force Majeure Event for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues and
such party uses and continues to use its best efforts to recommence performance.
Failure of either party to perform under this Agreement because of the endurance
of a Force Majeure event for more than three (3) months will represent grounds
by either party for its

Event.

26.  ASSIGNMENT

Except as provided in this clause, neither party shall assign this Agreement or
any right or interest under this Agreement, nor delegate any work or obligation
to be performed under this Agreement, (an "Assignment") without the other
party's prior written consent. Nothing shall preclude a party from employing a
subcontractor in carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, but a
party's use of such subcontractor shall not release the party from its
obligations under this Agreement. An attempted assignment or delegation in
contravention of this clause shall be void and ineffective. Lucent has the sole
right to assign this Agreement and to assign its rights and delegate its duties
under this Agreement, in whole or in part, at anytime and without Vendor's
consent, to any corporate parent or to any present Affiliate or to any
combination of the foregoing, provided that Lucent give prompt written notice of
such assignment to Vendor.

27.  SEVERABILITY

If any provision in this Agreement, or any portion thereof is subsequently held
to be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then
that provision or portion notwithstanding, this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and such provision or portion shall be deemed omitted and this
Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision or
portion had not been contained herein.

28.  RELEASE VOID

Neither party shall require release or waivers of any personal rights from
representatives of the other in connection with visits to its premises and both
parties agree that no such releases or waivers shall be pleaded by them in any
action or proceeding.

29.  NON-WAIVER

No waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or the failure of
either party to strictly enforce any term or condition of this Agreement on one
or more occasions shall be construed as a waiver of the same of any other term
or condition of this Agreement on any other occasion.

30.  CHOICE OF LAW

The construction, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York, except for its conflicts of law
provisions.

31.  TECHNOLOGY OWNERSHIP

Lucent retains sole ownership of the design, assembly, testing rights and
information, regardless of Vendor's contribution to the value of those rights,
design and information. Lucent's sale of the Products to Vendor; Lucent's grant
to Vendor of the right to assemble, package, and sell the Product, conveys no
ownership rights whatsoever in any Product or the Product.

VENDOR:

33.  PURCHASE MONEY SECURITY INTEREST

(a)  Subject to Lucent's prior written notice hereunder to Vendor of Lucent's
     intent to file purchase money security documents as set forth in the
     following and Vendor's failure to resolve any default(s) leading to such
     action within ten (10) days of Lucent's notice, Lucent reserves and Vendor
     agrees that Lucent shall have a purchase money security interest in all
     Products heretofore sold or hereafter sold to Vendor by Lucent under this
     Agreement, until any and all payments and charges due Lucent under this
     Agreement including, without limitation, shipping and installation charges,
     are paid in full. Lucent shall have the right, at any time during the Term
     and without notice to Vendor, to file in any state or local jurisdiction
     such financing statements (e.g., UCC1 financing statements) as Lucent deems
     necessary to perfect its purchase money security interest hereunder. Vendor
     agrees to execute and deliver to Lucent all such financing statements and
     other documents as Lucent deems necessary to perfect its purchase money
     security interest hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation,
     Vendor hereby irrevocably appoints Lucent as its attorney-in-fact for
     purposes of executing and filing such financing statements and such other
     documents prepared by Lucent or its designated agent for purposes of
     perfecting Lucent's security interest hereunder. Vendor also agrees that
     this Agreement may be filed by Lucent in any state or local jurisdiction as
     a financing statement (or as other evidence of the Lucent's purchase money
     security interest).

(b)  In addition to any other remedy available to Lucent as provided herein, by
     common law and by statute, Lucent may exercise its right to reclaim all
     Products sold to Vendor pursuant to U.C.C. Section 2-702 or such other
     applicable provision as if may exist from state to state, upon discovery of
     Vendor's insolvency, provided Lucent demands in writing reclamation of such
     goods before ten (10) days after receipt of such goods by Vendor, or if
     such 10 day period expires after the

                                                                         Page 21

     commencement of a bankruptcy case, before twenty (20) days after receipt of
     such goods by the Vendor.

34.  SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES

(a)  The following procedures shall apply after the Effective Date to any
     dispute or disagreement between the Parties arising out of this Agreement,
     provided, however, that this Section shall not apply to indemnification
     claims arising under this Agreement nor to actions for injunctive relief by
     one party against the other.

(b)  First:

     (1) either Party may give written notification of such dispute or
     disagreement to the other party, if the other Party is Vendor, to the
     President and CEO of Vendor, or if the other Party is Lucent, to the
     Vice-President Sales, Bell Atlantic Region ("RVP") (together being the
     Senior Executive Officers or "SEOs") and

     (2) the SEOs shall communicate with each other promptly with a view to
     resolving such dispute or disagreement within sixty (60) days of commencing
     their negotiations (or such extended period as the SEOs agree is
     appropriate in any case).

(c)  The giving of any notice regarding any dispute or disagreement hereunder
     shall toll the running of all applicable statutes of limitation until the
     later of (a) ninety (90) days following the giving of such notice or (b)
     thirty (30) days following the termination of discussions between the SEOs.

(d)  Second, if at the end of the sixty (60) day period contemplated hereunder
     (or if later the termination of discussions between the SEOs), such dispute
     or disagreement remains unresolved, either Party may request that such
     dispute or disagreement be the subject of non-binding mediation. Following
     such request, the SEOs shall endeavor in good faith promptly to identify a
     single person (who shall be a person with experience and good reputation)
     who shall assist the SEOs in discussing such dispute or disagreement and in
     attempting to reach a mutually acceptable business resolution. Such
     mediation process shall continue for at least sixty (60) days following the
     request therefor (or such extended or shorter period as the SEOs agree is
     appropriate). All applicable statutes of limitation shall be tolled during
     the period of mediation.

(e)  Third, if at the end of the sixty (60) day period contemplated by hereunder
     (3.) (or the termination of non-binding mediation), such dispute or
     disagreement remains unresolved, either Party (the "complainant") may
     commence an action in court of competent jurisdiction within the United
     States of America.

35.  GRANT OF LICENSE

(a)  The license for Licensed Materials with "Tear-Me" or "Tear-Open" licenses
     shall be as provided in those licenses and shall be provided by Vendor in
     their unopened original package to the end-user.

                          Lucent and Six R Proprietary

<PAGE>   22
                                                                         Page 22

     (b) For all other Licensed Materials which are provided to Vendor for its
     own use, Lucent retains title to the Licensed Materials and grants Vendor a
     personal, non-transferable (except as provided in this clause LICENSE FOR
     LICENSED MATERIALS (c) below) and non-exclusive license to use Licensed
     Materials in the Territory on a single Designated Processor for its own
     business operations. The Licensed Materials shall not be copied in whole or
     in part except as necessary for authorized use and each copy shall bear the
     same copyright and proprietary marks as the original. Vendor shall not
     reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any Software.

     (c) Lucent grants to Vendor the right to sublicense Licensed Materials to
     Bell Atlantic only, provided Vendor obtains a written license agreement
     from its sublicensee which provides that it accepts the license under the
     terms provided in Bell Atlantic contract number BCO3344 between Bell
     Atlantic and Lucent or contract number x-105-D, also between Bell Atlantic
     and Lucent.

38.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT

(a)  The terms and conditions contained in this Agreement supersede all prior
     oral or written understandings between the parties and shall constitute the
     entire Agreement between them concerning the subject matter of this
     Agreement and shall not be contradicted, explained or supplemented by any
     course of dealing between Lucent or any of its Affiliates and Vendor or any
     of its Affiliates. Lucent's employees, statements and its advertisements or
     descriptions other than its published specifications do not constitute
     warranties or other contractual obligations and shall not be relied upon by
     Vendor as such. There are no understandings or representations, express or
     implied, not expressly set forth in this Agreement. No terms or conditions
     contained in any order or other form originated by Vendor shall apply
     except for quantity, description, and delivery schedule terms.
     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties intend that
     the Nondisclosure Agreement entered into by the parties dated July 9, 1996
     shall remain in full force and effect; that the Value Added Reseller
     Agreement between the parties dated June 1, 1997 shall also remain in full
     force and effect; and that any agreement between the parties not otherwise
     identified herein not related to the Vendor status shall continue
     unaffected by this Agreement.

(b)  This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except by a writing signed
     by the parties to be charged, and no changes or additions to this Agreement
     shall be binding upon Lucent unless signed by an authorized representative
     of Lucent.

(c)  Both parties acknowledge they are sophisticated business entities with
     access to legal and financial

     construction of ambiguities against the drafter shall not apply.
