              3.2.1  Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare
a balance sheet of ENS as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the

<PAGE>   18

Report within 60 days following receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, Buyer
shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Balance Sheet for the purposes of
any adjustment to the Purchase Price hereunder. If Seller does not give Buyer
notice within 30 days following receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet Report,
Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Balance Sheet as adjusted by
Buyer for the purposes of any adjustment to the Purchase Price hereunder. If
Seller gives Buyer notice of objections to the Closing Balance Sheet Report, and
if Buyer and Seller are unable, within 15 days after receipt by Buyer of the
notice from Seller of objections, to resolve the disputed exceptions, such
disputed exceptions will be referred to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or another
firm of independent certified public accountants ("Independent Accounting Firm")
mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer. The Independent Accounting Firm shall,
within 30 days following its selection, deliver to Seller and Buyer a written
report determining such disputed exceptions, and its determinations will be
conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto for the purposes of any
adjustment to the Purchase Price hereunder. The fees and disbursements of the
Independent Accounting Firm shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller.

              3.2.2  [Intentionally Deleted].

              3.2.3  If the total assets minus the total liabilities ("Closing
Date Net Worth") as set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet are less than

Balance Sheet, and based upon such final determination, pay to Buyer, by wire
transfer of funds to an account designated by Buyer, an amount equal to the
Deficiency together with interest thereon at the prime interest rate charged by
Buyer's senior secured lender, from time to time, for the period from the
Closing Date until the date of Seller's payment.

              3.2.4  If the Closing Date Net Worth as set forth in the Closing
Balance Sheet is more than $5,000,000, the Purchase Price shall be increased by
an amount equal to the amount of such excess (the "Excess"), and Buyer shall,
within five days following the preparation or computation and final
determination of the Closing Balance Sheet, and based upon such final
determination, pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
an account designated by Seller, an amount equal to the Excess, together with
interest thereon at the prime interest rate charged by Buyer's senior secured
lender from time to time, for the period from the Closing Date until the date of
Buyer's payment.

shareholder approval as contemplated in Section 7.8, unless Buyer and Seller
agree otherwise in writing, at the offices of Katten Muchin Zavis, or at such
other place or on such other date mutually agreed to by the parties (the

       3.5    Consents. If any consents to the assignment of any Assigned
Contracts set forth on Schedule 9.3 are not obtained, and Buyer waives the
closing condition as to any such Assigned Contracts, Buyer may elect to have
Seller retain such Assigned Contracts and enter into a Sub-Contract Agreement
with Seller with respect to such Assigned Contracts. Following the Closing,
Seller shall continue its best efforts to obtain such consents. In such case,
following the Closing, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any
reasonable and mutual arrangement designed to provide Buyer the benefits of use
of such Assigned Contracts (or any right or benefit arising thereunder,
including the enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of
Seller against a third party thereunder). At such time as the consent to the
assignment is obtained, Seller shall take all steps necessary to assign such
Assigned Contract to Buyer as reasonably requested by Buyer's legal counsel.

capital with which to conduct its present or proposed business, (c) Seller will
have assets (calculated at fair market value) that exceed its Liabilities and
(d) taking into account all pending and threatened litigation, final judgments
against Seller in actions for money damages are not reasonably anticipated to be
rendered at a time when, or in amounts such that, Seller will be unable to
satisfy any such judgments promptly in accordance with their terms (taking into
account the maximum probable amount of such judgments in any such actions and
the earliest reasonable time at which such judgments might be rendered) as well
as all other obligations of Seller. The cash available to Seller, after taking
into account all other anticipated uses of the cash, will be sufficient to pay
all such debts and judgments promptly in accordance with their terms.

              4.27   Disclosure. None of the Transaction Documents executed by
Seller and furnished or to be furnished to Buyer contains or will contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits any statement of a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

have been required to have been disclosed by Seller on any Schedule, Exhibit or
statement delivered hereunder, had such event, occurrence, transaction or item
existed on the date hereof.

       7.5    Examinations and Investigations. Between the date hereof and the

       Seller will notify Buyer immediately if any such Acquisition Proposal is

       7.7    Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

<PAGE>   32

limitation, the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to
a name dissimilar to the name SSDS, Inc. Seller shall solicit proxies and take
such other commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to obtain
shareholder approval of such matters. Any proxy solicitation shall include a
statement to the effect that Seller's board of directors recommends that

take all actions that are appropriate to reflect such change of its name.

              7.8.2  Simultaneous with the execution hereof, Buyer and UV

              7.9.2  With respect to Seller's employees listed on Schedule 7.9.2
to whom employment by Buyer is not offered, assuming their employment with
Seller is terminated on the Closing Date, Buyer shall be responsible for certain

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                   COVENANTS TO BE PERFORMED AFTER THE CLOSING

       8.1    Covenant not to Compete or Solicit. Seller covenants as follows:

              8.1.1  Seller shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to,
for a period of five years after the Closing Date, compete with the Business or
engage or participate, directly or indirectly, in the Business in the United
States of America;

              8.1.2  Seller shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to,

for such customer any services of a type performed by the Business;

                                       25
<PAGE>   33

              8.1.3  Seller shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to,
for the two-year period commencing on the Closing Date, whether as an employer,
recruiting firm or otherwise, make, offer, solicit or induce to enter into, any
written or oral arrangement, agreement or understanding regarding employment or
retention as a consultant for itself or any other third party, with any person
employed by Buyer who was, on the date hereof, an ENS employee; provided that
after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, if Buyer becomes aware of a
violation of this Section 8.1.3, it shall give Seller notice thereof, and Seller
shall, following such notice, take appropriate steps to avoid a further
violation, in which case, Seller shall not be deemed to have violated this
covenant with respect to such initial violation but shall be responsible for any
future violation thereof;

              8.1.4  Seller agrees that a monetary remedy for a breach of the
agreement set forth in this Section 8.1 will be inadequate and impracticable and
further agrees that such a breach would cause Buyer irreparable harm, and that
Buyer shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the
necessity of proving actual damages. In the event of such a breach, Seller
agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to such injunctive relief, including
temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions
as a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine; and

              8.1.5  If any provision of this Section 8.1 is invalid in part, it
shall be curtailed, both as to time and location, to the minimum extent required
for its validity under the laws of the United States and shall be binding and
enforceable with respect to Seller as so curtailed.

       8.2    Collection of Accounts Receivable.

              8.2.1  If, after Closing, Seller receives payment on any of the
Accounts Receivable acquired at Closing, Seller shall forthwith forward the same
to Buyer within five business days after receipt thereof and Buyer shall do the
same with regard to the Accounts Receivable listed on Schedule 2.2.5.

              8.2.2  Buyer shall have the right, upon five days prior written
notice and during the normal business hours of Seller, to review records of
Seller solely to determine compliance with the provisions of Section 8.2.1.

              8.2.3  Buyer shall collect the Accounts Receivable acquired at
Closing in accordance with its normal and customary collection practices. All
payments received by Buyer from any customers owing any such Accounts Receivable
shall be applied against Accounts Receivable from the same customers in
accordance with the customer's instructions; provided in the absence of
instructions or the inability to obtain instructions after due inquiry, against
the oldest Accounts Receivable outstanding from time to time. Buyer shall take
no action to induce or encourage customers to instruct that payments from such
customers be applied other than to the oldest Accounts Receivable outstanding.
Buyer shall not be obligated to refer any Account Receivable for collection, and
Buyer shall not make any such referral and shall not compromise, settle or
adjust the amount of any such Account Receivable, except with the prior written
approval of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Amounts
so compromised, settled or adjusted shall be applied against the allowance for
doubtful accounts reflected in the Closing Balance Sheet as finally determined
in accordance with Section 3.2.1.

                                       26
<PAGE>   34

              8.2.4  On or after the 105th day after the Closing Date, but not
later than the 135th day after the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to
reassign to Seller any or all of the acquired Accounts Receivable which have not
been collected prior to such date; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to any Accounts Receivable which have not been billed as of the
Closing Date, the period during which Buyer may reassign any such Accounts
Receivable shall be on or after the 120th day after the Closing Date but not
later than the 150th day after the Closing Date. Within 15 days after
reassignment of any of such Accounts Receivable under this provision, Seller
shall reimburse Buyer dollar-for-dollar for the Accounts Receivable so
reassigned less the remaining amount, if any, of ENS's allowance for doubtful
accounts as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet, with such payment being made
by wire transfer of immediately available funds, together with interest thereon
at the rate charged by Buyer's secured lender, from time to time, for the period
from the Closing Date until the date of reassignment. If all acquired Accounts
Receivable have been collected, compromised, settled or adjusted and there is a
balance in ENS's allowance for doubtful accounts as reflected on the Closing
Balance Sheet, or if the balance in ENS's allowance for doubtful accounts
exceeds the amount of Accounts Receivable so assigned, Buyer shall promptly pay
such balance or excess to Seller, with such payment being made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds, together with interest thereon at the rate
charged by Buyer's secured lender, from time to time, for the period from the
Closing Date until the date of payment.

       8.3    Retention of/Access to Business Records and Employees. For eight
years following the Closing Date, Buyer shall retain all business records,
including tax records, related to the Assets or the Business which are delivered
to Buyer. During this period, from time to time on and after the Closing, upon
reasonable prior written request by Seller and without further consideration,
Buyer shall provide Seller access to or copies of said business records and
shall make available to Seller its employees for assistance in filing reports
relating to the Business with any governmental agency.

       8.4    Audit and Access. For a period of eight years after the Closing,
Seller shall give Buyer's independent certified public accountants full access
to its financial books and records and shall fully cooperate with such
accountants in conducting and completing any audits necessary to enable Buyer to
meet the disclosure and financial reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. During such period, without cost, Seller shall provide Buyer with
access to and copies of its business records and shall make available its
employees for assistance in filing reports relating to the Business with any
governmental agency.

       8.5    Minimum Net Worth. Seller agrees that its shareholders equity,
determined in accordance with GAAP, shall not be less than $3.5 million at any
time prior to nine months after the Closing Date and $1.5 million at any time
after the expiration of such nine month period and on or prior to 18 months
after the Closing Date; provided that if Buyer in good faith makes a claim for
indemnification under Article XII during such period, Seller shall continue to
maintain the shareholders equity required at the time of such claim until the
resolution of such indemnification claim. Within 30 days after the end of each
month during the nine month period mentioned above, Seller shall provide Buyer
with its unaudited balance sheet for the immediately preceding month which shall
be certified by Seller's chief financial officer that it

                                       27
<PAGE>   35

fairly presents the financial condition of Seller as of its date and was
prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year end audit adjustments.

       8.6    Confidential Information.

              8.6.1  Seller recognizes and acknowledges that certain knowledge
and information which it has acquired or developed that relates directly to the
Business, such as, but not limited to, the Intellectual Property Assets, in each
case, to the extent it relates directly to the Business and was acquired or
developed prior to the Closing Date (collectively, "Confidential Information")
will be the valuable property of Buyer as a result of the consummation of the
Transaction and shall be held by Seller and its subsidiaries in confidence and
trust for the sole benefit of Buyer.

              8.6.2  Seller shall, and shall cause its officers, directors and
subsidiaries to, not use, disclose, divulge or publish, without the prior
written consent of Buyer at any time, any Confidential Information; provided,
however, that Confidential Information shall not include (i) information which
is known to the public or generally known within the industry of businesses
comparable to the Business (other than as a result of Seller's violation of this
covenant); (ii) information which Seller is required to disclose pursuant to law
or order of a court having jurisdiction over Seller (provided that Seller offers
Buyer an opportunity to obtain an appropriate protective order or administrative
relief against disclosure of such Confidential Information); (iii) information
made available to other parties by the disclosing/owning party without
restrictions on their further use or disclosure; (iv) information that has been
provided to the United States of America with unlimited rights; or (v)
information that has been lawfully acquired by the recipient party from other
sources without restriction or use or disclosure.

              8.6.3  Seller agrees that a monetary remedy for a breach of the
agreement set forth in this Section 8.6 will be inadequate and impractible and
further agrees that such a breach would cause Buyer irreparable harm, and that
Buyer shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the
necessity of proving actual damages. In the event of such a breach, Seller
agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to such injunctive relief, including
temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions
as a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine.

       8.7    Customer Claims. Following the Closing, and provided that Buyer
then operates the Business, in the event that a customer of the Business makes a
claim regarding the services rendered, or goods sold, prior to the Closing by
Seller with respect to the Business, Buyer shall, without charge to Seller,
cause its employees to investigate and analyze the nature and merits of the
claim and report the same to Seller. With Seller's prior approval which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to the extent commercially reasonable
and feasible, Buyer shall take such reasonable steps and actions by rendering
services or providing goods needed to resolve such claims. Buyer shall be
entitled to indemnification under Section 12.2.4 for all costs and expenses
related to the investigation and resolution of such claims by Buyer as provided
in this Section, all at Buyer's usual commercial rates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Buyer shall not be deemed to have assumed any of Seller's Liabilities
for such claims.

       8.8    Fairfax Lease. Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer will
cooperate in good faith with each other and will use their commercially
reasonable efforts to, as of a date within a

                                       28
<PAGE>   36

period of three to six months after the Closing Date, either (a) cause a
termination of the Seller's lease for its Fairfax, Virginia office, or (b)
sublet or assign such lease to a third party, and in the case of (a) or (b),
cause the simultaneous termination of the Sub-Lease. Such date will be
determined by Buyer, which shall give Seller at least 60 days prior written
notice thereof. Such date will not be less than 90 days after the Closing unless
Seller and Buyer shall agree otherwise. All costs reasonably incurred in
connection with either the termination of such lease by agreement with the
landlord, or in subleasing or assigning such lease to a third party will be
borne on the basis of two-thirds of the cost thereof by Buyer and one-third of
the cost thereof by Seller. Without a limitation on the foregoing, such cost
will include all customary real estate brokerage commissions, fees to remodel or
renovate the premises, attorneys' fees, costs imposed by the landlord and/or any
termination fee that may be imposed by the landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, any such costs will be subject to the prior approval of the
other party which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition,
any profit or loss arising from any sublease or assignment shall also be shared
two-thirds by Buyer and one-third by Seller. Seller and Buyer shall promptly
retain the Irving Group as the exclusive broker to effect the lease termination,
sublease or the assignment on terms reasonably acceptable to the parties.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                     CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE OBLIGATION

indemnification hereunder for inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representations
and warranties of Seller made in this Agreement or for breach of any covenant or
agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement to be performed by Seller prior
to the Closing Date unless Buyer notifies Seller of a claim therefor no later
than 18 months following the Closing Date with the exception of (a)
representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections 4.5 and 4.24,
notice of a claim must be given no later than thirty (30) days following the
expiration of the statute of limitation applicable to matters contained in such
representations and warranties, and (b) representations and warranties of Seller
relating to title to the Assets, including those set forth in Sections 4.2 and
4.13, for which claims may be made at any time; provided, however, that if
notice of a matter which reasonably could give rise to such a claim for
indemnification is provided prior to the expiration of the applicable period,

indemnification shall be allowed, even though the claim itself for such matter
is not made until after the expiration of the applicable period.

respect to (a) any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty
of Seller contained in this Agreement, and (b) any claim for indemnification

<PAGE>   43

Contract listed on Schedule 2.3.3, until the aggregate amount of all amounts for
which such indemnity under (a) and (b) of this Section 12.6.2 would otherwise be
due therefor exceeds $250,000, and then only for the amount by which such
indemnification liability exceeds $250,000, and the Seller's maximum liability
for indemnification with respect to any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any
representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be
$3,500,000.

              12.6.3 The indemnification provided for in this Article XII shall
be the sole and exclusive remedy and recourse for any claim relating to or
arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement by any party or the breach of any covenant or agreement to be
performed on or prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent such breach
results from fraud or other intentional misconduct by a party.

       12.7   Seller's indemnification obligation under this Article XII shall
be secured by a subordinated security interest in the assets, rights and
properties of Seller and its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the Security Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit I. To support the grant of
such security interest in the assets of Seller's subsidiaries and to induce
Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Seller acknowledges that a portion of the
Purchase Price shall be used for the benefit of Seller's subsidiary, including
without limitation, repaying outstanding indebtedness of such subsidiary for
which such subsidiary has joint and several liability.

<PAGE>   44

setoff (except as hereafter provided) for any reason whatsoever, including,
without limitation, any claim by Seller that Buyer breached the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements of this Agreement or otherwise, and none of
the parties hereto shall have any liability in respect of such termination,

results from the breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreement of a party to this Agreement, and assuming the other party has not
committed such a breach, the non-breaching party shall be entitled, as its sole
right and remedy, to $500,000 as its liquidated damages for any such breach, and
if the breaching party is Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to receive from the
Earnest Money Deposit, the amount of such liquidated damages as provided in the
Escrow Agreement, and (b) if the Agreement is terminated by reason of the
shareholders of Seller not approving the Transaction as contemplated in Section
7.8, Buyer shall be entitled to receive from Seller, upon notice, by wire
transfer of funds, a termination fee of $500,000. Notwithstanding the above, the
terms of Sections 14.1 and 14.2, this Section 13.2 and the Non-Disclosure
Agreement shall survive any such termination.

         THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") is
made as of the 17th day of April, 2000, by and between BTG, Inc., a Virginia
corporation ("Buyer"), and KW Holdings, Inc., a Colorado corporation formerly
known as SSDS, Inc. ("Seller"), and amends the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as
of the 28th day of February, 2000 (the "Agreement") between the same parties.

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller desire to amend the Agreement to reduce the
portion of the Purchase Price to be paid in cash at Closing by $500,000, without
reducing the amount ultimately to be paid after giving effect to the adjustments
provided for in Section 3.2 of the Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, capitalized terms that are used herein have the same meanings
as in the Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt, adequacy and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

                                    AMENDMENT

         1. Section 3.1.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by redesignating
clause (ii) thereof as clause (iii) and adding a new clause (ii) to read as
follows:

                  "(ii) $500,000, together with interest thereon at the prime
         interest rate charged by Buyer's senior secured lender from time to
         time, for the period from the Closing Date until the date of Buyer's
         payment, subject to the last sentence of the Section 3.1.1, shall be
         paid to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
         account designated by Seller, such payment to be made on the same date
         as payments are due under Sections 3.2.3 or 3.2.4 of the Agreement;
         and"

         2. Section 3.1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following sentence at the end thereof:

         "Buyer may offset any amounts due to Seller from Buyer under Section
         3.1.1(a)(ii) against all or a portion of any amount due to Buyer from
         Seller under Section 3.2.3; provided that such offset shall not affect
         Seller's obligation to pay the balance of the amount due to Buyer, if
         any, under Section 3.2.3 after application of such offset and provided
         further that such offset shall not affect Buyer's obligation to pay the
         balance of the amount due to Seller, if any, under Section 3.1.1(a)(ii)
         after application of such offset."

         3. Except as amended hereby, the Asset Purchase Agreement shall remain

                      MCI WORLDCOM ON-NET VOICE AGREEMENT

This On-Net Voice Agreement (the "Agreement") for services described below is
made by and between MCI WORLDCOM Communications, Inc., formerly known as and
doing business as WorldCom Technologies, Inc., for itself and on behalf of its
U.S.-based affiliates ("MCI WorldCom"), and

Customer Name:  APERIAN, INC. (hereinafter "Customer")

Address:  14131 Midway Road, Suite 800, Addison, Texas  75001

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Customer agrees to an On-Net Voice term plan and Annual Volume Commitment
("AVC") or Monthly Volume Commitment ("MVC") as set forth in Schedule A,
attached hereto and incorporated herein.  Effective upon the next billing cycle
following MCI WorldCom's execution of this Agreement ("Effective Date"),
Customer shall pay the rates and receive the discounts for On-Net Voice Service
associated with the selected Term and Monthly Volume Commitment (MVC) or Annual
Volume Commitment (AVC) as set forth in WTI Tariff FCC No. 2 (such discounts
referred to herein as the "Base Discounts") with the exceptions shown on
Schedule A.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary, the discounts and/or
rates set forth in Schedule A are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any
discounts, promotions and/or credits (Tariffed or otherwise). AVC or MVC is
calculated net of discounts.  All charges for other services, if any, will be
as set forth in the Tariffs applicable to those services at the time they are
provided to Customer.

SERVICE PROVISIONING AND RECEIPT:  MCI WorldCom will provide to Customer
interstate and international Services pursuant to WTI Tariff FCC No. 1, and all
other applicable Tariffs of MCI WorldCom and its U.S.-based affiliates
(collectively, the "Tariff").  This Agreement incorporates by reference the
terms of the Tariff.  MCI WorldCom may modify the Tariff from time to time in
accordance with law and thereby affect the services furnished to Customer.  In
the event of inconsistency between the terms of the Tariff and this Agreement,
the Tariff will be deemed controlling.  The rates set forth in the Tariff do not
include, and the discounts set forth in this Agreement and the Tariff do not
apply to, the following: charges for MCI WorldCom services other than those set
forth in this Agreement; non-Tariffed products, access or egress (or related)
charges imposed by third parties; taxes or tax-like surcharges; and other
Tariffed charges.  Customer agrees to pay all these additional charges, to the
extent applicable, in addition to the charges set forth in this Agreement.  If
MCI WorldCom voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of government or judicial
action cancels the Tariff in whole or in part, then effective on such
cancellation this Agreement shall, as to canceled Tariff provisions previously
applicable to this Agreement, incorporate by reference the substantively similar
provisions of MCI WorldCom's standard Guide to Services and Pricing ("Guide"),
as amended by MCI WorldCom from time to time.  For purposes of such provisions,
all references to the Tariff shall include reference to the Guide.

TARIFF OPTION:  MCI WorldCom shall, if required, file a Tariff option (a
"Tariff Option") consistent with the terms of Schedule A, which is incorporated
into this Agreement by this reference.

SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS:  This Agreement shall be binding upon acceptance by MCI
WorldCom.  Acceptance of this Agreement by MCI WorldCom is subject to Customer
meeting the terms and conditions set forth in the Tariffs and the MCI WorldCom
Commercial Customer Profile Attachment.  The initial Term of this Agreement
shall begin not later than the first day of the first full monthly billing
period following acceptance of this Agreement by MCI WorldCom ("Agreement Start
Date") Customer shall not disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third
party.

APPLICABLE SERVICES: This On-Net Voice Agreement includes only those services
set forth in this Agreement and its attachments.

INTERNET SERVICES: Should Customer choose to order Internet Service under an
MCI WorldCom Internet Services Agreement ("Internet Agreement") that provides
that charges for these Internet services will contribute toward the AVC or MVC
of this Agreement, then MCI WorldCom shall allow such contribution subsequent
to Customer's execution of the Internet Agreement.  In addition, Customer shall
be eligible to receive a discount on the charges for Internet Services as set
forth in the Internet Agreement.  Internet Service monthly recurring and usage
charges, after the application of discounts, shall contribute to the AVC or MVC
if permitted in the Internet Agreement.

PAGING: Should Customer choose to order Voice Paging Service under an MCI
WorldCom Paging Agreement ("Paging Agreement") that provides that charges for
paging services will contribute towards the AVC or MVC of this Agreement, then
MCI WorldCom shall allow such contribution subsequent to Customer's execution
of the Paging Agreement.  In addition, Customer shall be eligible to receive a
discount on the charges for paging services as set forth in the Paging
Agreement.

<PAGE>   2

Voice Paging Service monthly recurring and usage charges, after the application
of discounts, shall contribute to the AVC or MVC if permitted in the Paging
Agreement.

MCI WORLDCOM LOCAL SERVICE: Where MCI WorldCom has received applicable
regulatory approval and filed the necessary Tariff(s), Customer will be
eligible to receive a discount based upon the AVC or MVC and Term indicated in
Schedule A on its eligible monthly charges for MCI WorldCom facilities-based
local exchange service. Local exchange service is provided by an MCI WorldCom
affiliate and is subject to the terms and conditions of the On-Net Voice Term
Plan program set forth in the applicable state Tariffs and price lists.

AVC UNDERUTILIZATION AND EARLY TERMINATION CHARGES: Underutilization Charges:
For Customers with an AVC as set forth in Schedule A, if at the end of any
Annual Period (as hereinafter defined), Customer's Qualifying Volume (as defined
in the Tariff) during such Annual Period fails to meet or exceed the AVC,
Customer shall pay, in addition to all other charges under this Agreement, the
difference between the AVC and Customer's Qualifying Volume during such Annual
Period. Any Underutilization Charges will be waived for the first three full
billing months of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Annual
Period" means the consecutive twelve (12) month period commencing on the
Agreement Start Date hereof and each consecutive twelve (12) month period
thereafter during the Term or any renewal Term hereof. Early Termination
Charges: If Customer terminates On-Net Voice service prior to the expiration of
the Term, Customer will be required to pay, in addition to all accrued but
unpaid charges through the date of such termination, the difference between
Customer's actual Qualifying Volume and the AVC for the year of termination. For
each subsequent year of the Term, Customer shall be required to pay 50% of the
AVC.

MVC UNDERUTILIZATION AND EARLY TERMINATION CHARGES: Underutilization Charges:
For Customers with an MVC as set forth in Schedule A, if at the end of any
Monthly Period (as hereinafter defined), Customers's Qualifying Volume (as
defined in the Tariff) during  such Monthly Period fails to meet or exceed the
MVC, Customer shall pay, in addition to all other charges under this Agreement,
the difference between the MVC and Customer's Qualifying Volume during such
Monthly Period. Any Underutilization Charges will be waived for the first three
full billing months of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Monthly
Period" means the period reflected on each monthly invoice. Early Termination
Charges: If Customer terminates On-Net Voice service prior to the expiration of
the Term, Customer will be required to pay, in addition to all accrued but
unpaid charges through the date of such termination, the difference between
Customer's actual Qualifying Volume and the MVC for the remaining months of the
year of termination. For each subsequent year of the Term, Customer shall be
required to pay 50% of the MVC for each remaining month in the term.

CONVERSION FROM EXISTING MCI WORLDCOM TERM AGREEMENTS: If Customer meets the
conditions stated under "Termination without Liability" in the Tariff,
enrollment in this Agreement will cause an existing MCI, WorldCom Technologies,
Inc. or MCI WorldCom term plan agreement to terminate automatically without
incurring Early Termination Charges. Termination and underutilization liability
charges may apply if Customer is ineligible for conversion from existing MCI,
WorldCom Technologies, Inc. or MCI WorldCom term plans without liability and/or
all services are not converted to On-Net Voice.

GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement, and all causes of action arising out of this
Agreement, will be subject to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Act"), or, if any part of this Agreement is not governed by the Act, by the
domestic law of the State of New York without regard to its choice of law
principles.

ASSIGNMENT: Neither this Agreement, nor any rights or obligations of Customer
in this Agreement, shall be transferable or assignable by Customer without MCI
WorldCom's prior written consent and any attempted transfer or assignment
hereof by Customer not in accordance herewith shall be null and void.
