        5.04      DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.

                  ROUGE does not in any way warrant the fitness of the BFG for
        the particular purpose for which DIG intends or may intend to use the
        BFG.

        5.05      RISK OF LOSS.

                  All right, title, and interest in and to any BFG delivered
        shall pass from ROUGE to DIG at the Point of Interconnection. ROUGE
        shall have the risk of loss of all BFG to be delivered up to and at the
        Point of Metering, and DIG shall have the risk of loss of all BFG
        delivered from and after the Point of Metering, except in the case of
        loss between the Point of Metering and the Point of Interconnection due
        to a malfunction of the ROUGE BFG Facilities, or the failure of ROUGE to
        properly operate or maintain the ROUGE BFG Facilities. Liability for all
        damages caused by or arising out of the BFG delivered shall lie with the
        Party responsible for the risk of loss in this Section 5.05. Such Party
        shall indemnify the other Party hereto for such loss and damage pursuant
        to Section 18 of this Agreement.

                               MEASUREMENT OF BFG

        6.01      MEASUREMENT OF BFG.

                  ROUGE shall install, inspect, operate and maintain at its
        expense, metering equipment and instrumentation for the measurement of
        BFG sold to DIG and such other data as necessary for the sale of BFG to
        DIG and the computation of the invoices required by Section 9.02. The
        metering system shall be capable of measuring the aggregate quantity and
        heating value of BFG (as measured by HHV) delivered to the Project and
        received by DIG, however, ROUGE may provide an accurate methodology to
        determine the heating value of the BFG (as measured by HHV) in lieu of
        metering for heating value, provided such methodology is approved by
        DIG. DIG shall have access to such instrumentation, but the reading,
        calibrating and adjusting thereof and changing of the charts shall be
        done only by ROUGE. The determination of the total quantities of BFG
        delivered to DIG shall be made by the ROUGE instrumentation. ROUGE shall
        test its metering system at least annually, or more frequently if
        reasonably requested by DIG with such additional tests being at the
        expense of DIG if such test finds that the equipment readings are within
        the parameters of Section 6.02(a), and at the expense of ROUGE if such
        test find that the equipment readings are within the parameters of
        Section 6.02(b). DIG shall have the right to have a representative
        present at all tests. The records from such measuring equipment shall
        remain the property of their owner, but upon request, each will submit
        to the other its records and charts, together with calculations
        therefrom, for inspection and verification, subject to return within ten
        (10) days after receipt thereof.

        6.02      ESTIMATION OF BFG WHEN METERING EQUIPMENT IS NOT FUNCTIONING.

                  The quantity of BFG delivered hereunder during periods when
        the measuring equipment is out of service or registering inaccurately
        shall be estimated as follows:

                  (a) If, upon test, any measuring equipment, the readings of
        which are used in the registration, integration, or computation of
        quantities of BFG hereunder, is found to be in error to the extent that
        it introduces not more than two percent (2%) measurement error in the
        individual measuring equipment affected, previous records of such
        equipment shall be considered accurate.

                  (b) If, upon test, any such above measuring equipment is found
        to be inaccurate to the extent that it causes the registered or computed
        quantities of BFG to be in error by an amount exceeding two percent (2%)
        at a recording corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow through
        the instrument(s) in the period since the last preceding test, then any
        registrations, integration, or computed quantities of such instruments
        shall be corrected to zero error for any part of the period since the
        last test in which such error is known to have existed or which may be
        agreed upon by representatives of the Parties. In case the period of
        such error is not known definitely or agreed upon, such correction shall
        be for one-half (1/2) of the quantity or BFG delivered since the later
        of the date of the last test or the last undisputed invoice.

                  (c) If no tests have been performed to determine the degree of
        inaccuracy, or measuring equipment is out of service, the quantity of
        BFG shall be estimated:

<PAGE>   22
                      (1)   by using the registration of any existing and agreed
                            upon check equipment considered by Parties to be
                            registering accurately, or, in the absence of such
                            check equipment;

                      (2)   by correcting the error in quantity or percentage of
                            error as is ascertainable by calibration, test, or
                            mathematical calculation (including reliance upon
                            DIG's records of fuel consumption), or if neither of
                            the two foregoing procedures is applicable;

                      (3)   by relating the quantity of delivery to deliveries
                            during the periods under similar conditions when the
                            measuring equipment was deemed to have been
                            registering accurately.

                  Each Party shall preserve for a period of at least two (2)
        years at all test data, charts and other similar records.

        8.01      PAYMENTS.

                  The amount payable by DIG to ROUGE pursuant to each monthly
        invoice shall be the monthly delivery of BFG stated in MMBTU (as
        measured by HHV) multiplied by the applicable rate in Exhibit D. ROUGE
        may calculate the MMBTU by using statistically accurate methodology to
        determine MMBTU/cubic foot multiplied by the actual volumes delivered in
        cubic feet, provided such units of volume are standardized.

        8.02      EXTENSION TERM PRICING

                  If ROUGE elects to extend this Agreement in accordance with
        Section 12, the Parties shall meet to discuss the rates for BFG for the
        relevant extension term. If the Parties cannot agree to a price prior to
        the end of the expiring term, price shall be determined in accordance
        with the formula in Exhibit D.

        8.03      NO OTHER CHARGES

                  The rates shown on Exhibit D are inclusive of any and all
        service charges, surcharges, fees, and taxes in existence as of the date
        of this Agreement or as may be levied from time to time during the term
        of this Agreement, except as may otherwise be mutually agreed.

                  All calculations for payments due ROUGE shall be based on a
        calendar month.

        9.02      BILLING.

                  Beginning with the calendar month immediately following the
        calendar month in which the BFG Delivery Date shall occur and until
        this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Sections 12.01 or 14.02,
        ROUGE shall deliver to DIG within ten (10) days after the first day of
        each calendar month an invoice with respect to the sales of BFG during
        the preceding calendar month to the Point of Metering. Each invoice
        shall include all necessary information and support documentation for
        calculation of the payments required pursuant to Section 9.

        9.03      INTEREST ON PAST-DUE AMOUNTS.

                  The net amount due and payable to ROUGE as stated in the
        invoice shall be due and payable within 30 days of receipt in
        immediately available funds. Invoices not fully paid shall be subject to
        interest charges on the unpaid balance equal to the sum of the prime
        lending rate as charged from time to time by Chase Manhattan Bank, or
        any successor thereto, plus one hundred (100) basis points per annum
        compounded annually based upon a 365-day year, from the date of
        presentment until the unpaid balance is paid in full. The prime rate in
        effect on the first day of any month shall be used in calculating any
        interest charges which may be due in that month on unpaid invoices and
        interest charges.

        9.04      FAILURE TO PAY.

                  If DIG fails to pay for BFG and any interest when due, as set
        forth in Section 9.02, ROUGE will notify DIG of the delinquency in
        writing and attempt to reach the designated party in Section 16 by
        telephone as a further notice. Thereafter, if payment in full has not
        been made within forty-five (45) days of the date of the delinquency
        notice, in addition to charging interest pursuant to Section 9.03,
        ROUGE may deduct the amount of the delinquency from the next invoice
        for steam or electricity from DIG or take any other action permitted by
        law or equity.

        9.05      DISPUTED INVOICES

                  In the event of any dispute as to all or any portion of an
        invoice, DIG shall nevertheless pay the full amount of the disputed
        charges when due and may serve notice upon ROUGE that the amount of an
        invoice is in dispute, in which event the provisions of Section 19 shall
        be applicable. Any charges which are returned as a result of such
        arbitration shall bear interest from the date of payment by DIG to the
        date of refund at the rates provided for in Section 9.03. Subject to the

                                   SECTION 10

                            ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

                  The Parties understand and agree that DIG is required to apply
        for environmental air permits based upon the current parameters of the
        BFG. DIG shall provide its air permit

                                       20
<PAGE>   26
        application to ROUGE for review. The Parties understand and agree that
        DIG's obligation to accept and purchase BFG is dependent upon the
        ability to burn BFG in compliance with applicable environmental laws and
        permits. DIG may, upon notice to ROUGE, reduce or temporarily suspend
        its purchases of BFG to remain in compliance with such environmental
        laws and permits if such non-compliance is solely a result of a material
        change in the trace element composition of BFG and not due to a failure
        by DIG to properly design, maintain or operate the Project. In all
        instances when purchases are reduced or suspended due to the operation
        of this section, the appropriate Party shall use all reasonable efforts
        to make the necessary modifications, including permit modifications, in
        order to resume the delivery and receipt of BFG, and the other Party
        shall reasonably cooperate for the attainment of such compliance.

                                   SECTION 11

                             [INTENTIONALLY BLANK]

                                   SECTION 12

                             TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT

        12.01     TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.

                  The original term of this Agreement shall begin on the BFG
        Delivery Date and shall end on December 31, 2015 (the "Original
        Termination Date"). ROUGE may extend the term of this Agreement for
        three further terms of five (5) years each by providing written notice
        thereof

                                       21

<PAGE>   27
        to DIG no later than eighteen (18) months prior to the Original
        Termination Date or the termination date of each such five (5) year
        extension period, as applicable, and further provided ROUGE extends the
        Steam Sales Agreement between DIG and ROUGE for the applicable period.

        12.02     DETERMINATION OF BFG DELIVERY DATE

                  DIG will provide a target date for commencement of regular BFG
        acceptance in a notice given at least sixty (60) days prior to the
        targeted date. When DIG is able to provide Electricity and steam or a
        continuous basis, DIG will transmit a second written notice to ROUGE
        stating that (i) the Project is ready to accept regular deliveries of
        BFG and produce steam and electricity sufficient to allow for the shut
        down of the Powerhouse on a BFG Delivery Date, to be mutually agreed
        upon but not less than fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice,
        and (ii) all required permits, approvals and variances from any
        governmental authority necessary to commence BFG deliveries from the
        Project have been obtained. On and after the BFG Delivery Date, the
        Project shall accept, and ROUGE shall deliver BFG in accordance with
        Section 5.01.

                                   SECTION 13

                                  FORCE MAJEURE

        13.01     FORCE MAJEURE.

                  (a) "Force Majeure" shall mean any event or circumstance or
        combination of events or circumstances that materially and adversely
        affects any Party in the performance of its obligations in accordance
        with the terms of this Agreement, but only if and to the extent that
        such

                                       22

<PAGE>   28
        events and circumstances are not within the affected Party's reasonable
        control, and which the affected Party could not have prevented through
        reasonable skill and care, but limited to those circumstances or events
        which are specifically identified in this Section.

                  (b) Force Majeure circumstances and events shall be limited to
        the following events to the extent that they or their consequences (it
        being understood that if a causing event is within the reasonable
        control of an affected Party, the direct consequences shall also be
        deemed to be within such party's reasonable control) satisfy the above
        requirements:

                      (i)   act of war (whether declared or undeclared), hostile
                            or warlike action by an agent of a government or
                            sovereign power, acts of foreign enemies of the
                            United States government (whether accorded
                            diplomatic recognition or not), revolution,
                            rebellion or insurrection, exercise of military or
                            usurped power, or any attempt at usurpation of
                            power;

                      (ii)  the inability to obtain the required supply of water
                            from the Circulating Water system at the Rouge Site
                            in sufficient quantities to operate the Project for
                            the Rouge Site due to a failure of ROUGE or FORD to
                            exercise reasonable care in maintaining or operating
                            the system; or

<PAGE>   29
                      (iii) any governmental agency's unreasonable delay, denial
                            or refusal to grant or renew, or any unreasonable
                            revocation of, any required permit, license,
                            approval or authorization, including governmental
                            authorizations, provided that such adverse
                            governmental action or inaction did not result from
                            a Party's non-compliance with any applicable law or
                            any condition to the granting or maintenance of any
                            such permit, license, approval or authorization, and
                            provided that such impacted Party diligently pursues
                            all legal remedies available to alleviate such
                            unreasonable delay, denial, refusal or revocation of
                            such governmental authorization.

        13.02     RESTRICTIONS.

                  Notwithstanding that an event of Force Majeure may otherwise
        exist, the provisions of Article 13 shall not in any event excuse any
        failure to pay or any delay in paying money due and owing under this
        Agreement.

        13.03     NOTIFICATION OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a) The Party claiming Force Majeure shall give notice to the

        other Party of (i) the cessation of the relevant event or circumstance
        of Force Majeure and (ii) the cessation of the effects of such event or
        circumstance of Force Majeure on the enjoyment by such Party of its
        rights or the performance by such Party of its obligations under this
        Agreement as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the events
        described in each of clauses (i) and (ii) above.

        13.04     OTHER CONSEQUENCES.

                  Except as otherwise provided in this Article, neither Party
        shall be responsible or liable for any breach or deemed breach of this
        Agreement due to its failure or delay in performing its obligations
        hereunder due to an event of Force Majeure for such period as the event
        of Force Majeure continues.

        13.05     MEETING BETWEEN THE PARTIES

                  In the event a Force Majeure event lasts more than sixty (60)
        days, the Parties shall meet to discuss and determine whether it would

        twenty (120) days after written notice of such nonperformance or (ii) if
        the nonperforming Party shall commence cure within such one hundred
        twenty (120) days and shall thereafter proceed with all due diligence to
        cure such failure, such failure is not cured within such longer period
        as shall be necessary for such Party to cure the same with all due
        diligence.

                  (c) If by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, a
        receiver or liquidator or trustee of either Party or of any of the
        property of either Party shall be appointed, and such receiver or
        liquidator or trustee shall not have been discharged within a period of
        sixty (60) days; or if by decree of such a court, a Party shall be
        adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent or any substantial part of the

<PAGE>   32
                  (d) If either Party shall file a voluntary petition in
        bankruptcy under any provision of any federal or state bankruptcy law or
        shall consent to the filing of any bankruptcy or reorganization petition
        against it under any similar law; or, without limitation of the
        generality of the foregoing, if a Party shall file a petition or answer
        or consent seeking relief or assisting in seeking relief in a proceeding
        under any of the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Act, as it now
        exists or as it may hereafter be amended, or pursuant to any other
        similar state statute applicable to such Party, as now or hereafter in
        effect, or an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition
        filed against it in such a proceeding; or if a Party shall make a
        general assignment for the benefit of its creditors (other than for DIG

        any party of its property.

                  In the event that either Party is in default under this
        Agreement, the defaulting Party may, within thirty (30) days following
        receipt of notice from the non-defaulting Party of such default, (i)
        cure the default or institute appropriate curative action or (ii) in the
        event of a default specified in paragraphs (b), (c), or (d) of Section
        14.01, provide assurances satisfactory to the non-defaulting Party of
        its future performance of its obligations under this Agreement. If the
        default is not so cured, or if such assurances are not so provided; this
        Agreement may be terminated without obligation to or recourse by the
        defaulting Party on thirty (30) day's notice by the non-defaulting Party
        to both the defaulting Party and, in the case of a notice to DIG any

        17.01     NON-ASSIGNABILITY.

                  Except as provided in this Section 17, this Agreement shall
        not be assigned, transferred or otherwise alienated by either ROUGE or
        DIG without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent
        will not be unreasonably withheld, and any attempted assignment,
        transfer or alienation without such consent shall be void, provided,
        however that ROUGE may assign this Agreement to any Affiliated Company
        upon giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to DIG and further
        provided that ROUGE shall guaranty the continuing performance of the
        assignee for the remaining term of the Agreement. All covenants and
        provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the parties shall inure

        by the provisions of this paragraph. Affiliated Company shall mean any
        company in which ROUGE controls directly or indirectly twenty (20%) or
        more of the voting stock.

        17.02     PERMITTED ASSIGNMENT.

                  DIG has the right to mortgage, assign, hypothecate, pledge, or
        encumber its interest in this Agreement to a parent or affiliated
        company (including any general or limited partnership

<PAGE>   36
        in which DIG or any affiliate of DIG is a general partner) or to any
        financing party. ROUGE hereby consents to such assignment and to any
        subsequent assignments by such parent or affiliated company or financing
        party or any subsequent assignee, provided that, unless otherwise agreed
        by ROUGE and DIG no such assignment shall relieve DIG of its obligations
        or liabilities incurred until the effective date of the assignment, and
        provided further that DIG shall guaranty the continuing performance of
        the assignee for the remaining term of the agreement. ROUGE agrees to
        execute a written consent and estoppel certificate to effectuate any
        assignment permitted under this Agreement.

        respective directors, officers, representatives, agents, employees and
        contractors, respectively, from and against any and all liability
        whatsoever for losses, damages, claims, charges or expenses, including
        attorneys' fees, on account of injury to or the death of any and all
        persons, and on account of loss of or damage to any and all property, or
        on account of any violation of law, rule, or regulation of a
        governmental authority of any level resulting from or arising out of or
        in way connected with the performance of ROUGE's obligations hereunder,
        unless caused by the sole negligence, gross negligence or willful
        misconduct of an officer, director, agent, independent contractor or
        employee of DIG.

        18.02     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

                  Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party in contract,
        tort, warranty, strict liability or any other legal theory for any
        indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages
        sustained by the other Party as a result of failure by the first Party
        to perform any of its obligations under the Agreement, regardless of
        whether such failure was the result of negligence of the first Party or
        its employees or agents to perform any of its obligations under the
        Agreement.

        18.03     DUTY TO MITIGATE

                  Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the

        event or circumstance. Upon the cessation of the event or circumstance,
        the Party affected thereby shall make its best efforts to resume normal
        performance of its obligations under the Agreement as soon as possible.

                          DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES

        19.01   IF A DISPUTE ARISES

                  If a dispute arises between the parties relating to this
        Agreement, the following procedure shall be followed except that either
        party may seek injunctive relief from a court where appropriate in order
        to maintain the status quo while this procedure is being followed:

                  (1) Meeting - The parties shall hold a meeting promptly,
        attended by persons with decision-making authority regarding the
        dispute, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the
        dispute; provided, however, that no such meeting shall be deemed to
        vitiate or reduce the obligations and liabilities of the parties or be
        deemed a waiver by a party of any remedies to which such party will
        otherwise be entitled hereunder.

                  (2) Alternate Dispute Resolution - If, within thirty (30) days
        after such meeting, the parties have not succeeded in negotiating a
        resolution of the dispute, they agree to meet to

                                       33

<PAGE>   39
        select an appropriate form of alternative dispute resolution to resolve
        the matter in a timely and mutually satisfactory way.

        19.02     ARBITRATION

                  If the parties are not successful in negotiating a resolution
        to the dispute, or can not select an appropriate form of alternative
        dispute resolution within a reasonable time, or such alternative dispute
        resolution fails to settle the dispute, then the parties agree to submit
        the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial
        rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association by a sole
        arbitrator and to bear equally the costs of the arbitration. Arbitration
        shall take place in the City of Dearborn, unless otherwise agreed by the
        parties. The substantive and procedural law of the State of Michigan
        shall apply to the proceedings. Equitable remedies shall be available in
        any arbitration. Punitive damages shall not be awarded. This section is
        subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC ss. 1 et seq. and
        judgement upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator, if any, may be
        entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

                                   SECTION 20

                                 DIG'S FINANCING

        20.01     DIG'S FINANCING.

                  ROUGE recognizes that DIG will be obtaining non-recourse
        financing to construct and operate the Project, which financing may be
        from investors or from one or more financial institutions, and hereby
        agrees to provide DIG with such information, documents and records as

                                       34

<PAGE>   40
        DIG may reasonably request in connection with DIG's efforts to obtain
        such financing, and the Parties agree to meet to discuss and to attempt
        to come to mutually satisfactory agreements for amendments to the
        Agreement which may be made upon the reasonable request of such
        investors of financial institutions, provided such request does not
        materially affect the economic benefits to or risk undertaken by a Party
        under this Agreement.

                                   SECTION 21

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        made a part hereof, supersedes and cancels any and all previous
        agreements, discussions or negotiations between the Parties and contains
        the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter
        of this Agreement.

        21.02     NO DRAFTING PRESUMPTION.

                  No presumption shall operate in favor of or against any Party
        as a result of any responsibility that any Party may have had for
        drafting this Agreement.

<PAGE>   41
        21.03     INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.

                  Each Party hereto shall be deemed to be an independent
        contractor in the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Parties
        hereto expressly agree that this Agreement shall not create sin agency,
        joint venture or partnership relationship.

        21.04     SEVERABILITY.

                  If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application
        thereof to any person or circumstance is rendered or declared illegal
        for any reason and shall be invalid or unenforceable, such portion shall
        be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability but
        the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such term or
        provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected
        thereby but shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforced
        to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, unless such an event
        materially alters the Parties' intent as expressed in this Agreement.

        21.05     GOVERNING LAW.

                  This Agreement, and all provisions hereof, shall be governed

        21.06    CONFIDENTIALITY

                  The Parties hereto agree that the prices, terms and conditions
        contained in this Agreement shall not be disclosed to third parties

                                       36
<PAGE>   42
        party; provided, however, disclosure is permitted to the extent such
        disclosure is required by a party providing financing to DIG,
        independent financial auditors of a Party, or construction contractor
        for the Project, and such party is bound by non-disclosure obligations
        at least as stringent as those contained in this Section, or as required
        by rule of law, court or governmental agency order or subpoena, but only
        to the extent so ordered, and provided that the Party so ordered shall
        attempt to obtain a protective order, or rule of a recognized stock
        exchange.

                  The Parties will use at least a reasonable degree of care to
        prevent disclosure of such confidential information to others.
        (Reasonable care means that degree of care each party uses to prevent
        unauthorized disclosure of its own confidential information to third
        parties). Such obligation shall not apply to information which:

                  (a) becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of a Party;

                  (b) is explicitly approved for release by written
        authorization of the other Party. Such obligation shall terminate upon
        the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

        21.07     DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION.

                  This Section shall apply in the event that all or any portion
        of the Project or DIG BFG Facilities or the Project Site is condemned,
        appropriated, damaged, or destroyed.

                  (a) to the extent that it is feasible for DIG, it will use all
                      reasonable efforts to replace any portion of the Project,
                      Project Site or DIG BFG Facilities which has been damaged,
                      destroyed, or condemned.

                  (b) to the extent that it is not feasible to replace any
                      portion of the Project, the Parties will enter into
                      negotiations to amend the Agreement, if appropriate.

for long term disability under Perot Systems' long term disability plan, then
Perot Systems will not be deemed to

                                     page 6

have violated its obligations to provide the Resources, provided that Perot
Systems uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide substitute Resources.
RSC agrees that, during the Term, it will not use any third party to provide any
of the Support Services provided by the resources in Schedule R other than in an
interim capacity in situations where Perot Systems is unable to provide
replacement Resources in a reasonable and timely manner. When Perot Systems is
able to provide such replacement Resources, RSC agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to discontinue the use of third party resources.

3.2 Additional Application Systems Development. During the Term, Perot Systems
will provide to RSC Additional Application Systems Development resources as
follows:

         a. During the initial term and the transition period of the Original
         Agreement, Perot Systems provided an additional nine-hundred sixty
         (960) FTE-months of Application Systems Development work. As of the
         Amendment Date Perot Systems has provided and RSC has consumed an
         estimated 820 FTE-months. Perot Systems will provide RSC the balance of
         the original 960 FTE-months for RSC for the charges specified in
         Section 10.3.a ("Additional Applications Systems Development") through
         the term of this Amended Agreement.

         b. In addition, Perot Systems will provide RSC a pool of eight-hundred
         twenty (820) FTE-months during the term of the Amended Agreement after
         the balance of the original nine-hundred sixty (960) FTE-months is
         fully consumed. RSC will pay Perot Systems for FTE-months used out of
         this 820 FTE-month pool in accordance with the terms described in
         Section 10.3.b. The FTE-month rate will be $12,250 at the beginning of
         the Amended Agreement. On the second anniversary of the Amendment Date
         and for each anniversary of the Amendment Date thereafter, the
         FTE-month rate will be adjusted by applying the average of the salary
         indices described in Schedule G. The then current FTE-month rate will
         be increased by the average of the salary indices to derive the new
         rate. Perot Systems will notify RSC in writing of the new rate and the
         average of the salary indices used to determine the new rate. If, at
         the expiration of this Amended Agreement, RSC has consumed less than
         the 820 FTE-months, RSC will pay Perot Systems a fee of three thousand
         dollars ($3000) for each FTE-month which was not utilized or for which
         RSC did not pay Perot Systems in accordance with Section 10.3.b. For
         expenditures up to 3 FTE-months out of the subject 820 FTE-month pool,
         the written authorization of the RSC Project Manager, as defined in
         Section 8 of this Amended Agreement, will be sufficient to initiate
         work and authorize payment to Perot Systems.

                                     page 7
<PAGE>   8

         c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a 66% majority vote of the STEP
         Team, RSC will have the ability to competitively bid Application
         Systems Development Projects greater than 10 FTE-months in effort. If
         the price quote provided to RSC by a third party for the same scope of
         work quoted by Perot Systems, is less than the Perot Systems quotation,
         Perot Systems will be given the opportunity to match the quotation of
         the third party. Perot Systems assumes no responsibility for work
         provided by third parties as to content of the work or the ability to
         function or interface with other RSC systems. All ongoing support costs
         for work provided by third parties under this provision are beyond the
         scope of this Amended Agreement and are subject to negotiation between
         the parties. RSC agrees to review staff allocation and the scope of
         support services with Perot Systems as appropriate, for Applications
         Systems Development work provided by third parties. For third party
         quotations where Perot Systems can demonstrate a material difference in
         the scope of services or in the cost of ongoing support related to the
         services proposed by a third party versus the Perot Systems quote, RSC
         agrees to reject the third party quotation.

3.3 Change Control and Systems Development Process. All changes to existing
Application Systems or approved Application Systems requirements or design
documents will be controlled by Rouge Steel's Systems' Change Control Procedure
#PT-I-5-03-02. All Application Systems Development Projects shall be subject to
Perot Systems' Program Management Methodology version 99.4 described in Schedule
J (as modified by Perot Systems from time to time). Further, the parties agree
that Application Systems Development projects shall conform to the following
terms:

         a. Upon approval by RSC, Perot Systems shall execute the analysis phase
         of the project according to the Perot Systems Project Management
         Methodology and, upon completion, shall provide an estimate for the
         total project cost which shall include Perot Systems' total efforts, in
         FTE-months, for all phases of the project ("the Final Estimate").

         b. Perot Systems shall regularly report the status of Application
         Systems Development Projects to RSC.

         c. In the event that the Perot Systems' FTE-months required to complete
         a particular project exceed the Final Estimate by more than ten
         percent, such excess will not be chargeable to RSC by Perot Systems. If
         the Perot Systems' FTE-months required to complete the project are less
         than the Final Estimate, Perot Systems shall be entitled to charge RSC
         the actual FTE-months plus ten percent (10%) of the Final Estimate, the
         total of which shall not exceed the Final Estimate.

         d. Should RSC not approve the Final Estimate after the analysis phase
         or cancel or indefinitely postpone the project for any reason, the
         actual FTE-months spent by Perot Systems shall be chargeable to RSC,
         not to exceed the analysis phase

                                     page 8
<PAGE>   9

         estimate plus the actual FTE-Months spent for the design and
         development phases to the point the project was canceled or postponed,
         and all work completed to that point shall be provided to RSC.

         e. All development projects, including the tools, techniques and
         standards for development; and the hardware, software and
         communications necessary for operation, shall be evaluated by RSC and
         Perot Systems against the RSC technology strategy and plan. Any project
         that deviates from the technology strategy and plan must have such
         deviation documented prior to commencing development and each such
         project must be approved by RSC.

         f. Should Perot Systems provide any Third Party Systems in which Perot
         Systems has a relationship whereby it receives royalties or other forms
         of compensation, then Perot Systems shall notify RSC of those
         relationships prior to RSC issuing financial approvals for projects
         intended to use such Third Party Systems.

The process set forth in this Section 3.3 shall apply to Application Systems
Development Projects included in Perot Systems Resources under Section 3.1 as
well as those provided as Additional Application Development under Section 3.2
or as an Additional Service under Section 4.2.

3.4 Service Levels. Perot Systems shall provide the services identified in
Schedule S to achieve the incentives related to the service levels defined in
Schedule F (the "Service Levels"). The Service Levels will be reviewed and
adjusted annually by mutual agreement to support RSC's requirements. If Perot
Systems exceeds the performance related Service Levels during the term of this
Amended Agreement, Perot Systems will be eligible to receive performance
incentive payments in accordance with Schedule G (Monthly Base and Incentive
Charges). Perot Systems shall collect and report Service Level information to
RSC, as required, to assess Perot Systems' performance of the Service Levels as
set forth in Schedule F.

                         ARTICLE 4. ADDITIONAL SERVICES

4.1 New RSC Affiliates. At RSC's request and with agreement of the parties,
Perot Systems will provide all of its requirements for Systems Operations and
Application Systems services expeditiously as feasible as follows: Perot Systems
will perform any Systems Operations Services, Applications Systems Support, and
Application Systems Development as specified in Schedule S. Such additional
services shall be treated as a change in scope in accordance with Schedule R.

4.2 Additional Services. At RSC's request and with agreement of the parties,
Perot Systems shall perform Additional Services as follows:

                                     page 9
<PAGE>   10

         a. Perot Systems will advise RSC that a requested service is an
         Additional Service and whether Perot Systems is capable of providing
         the Additional Service. If Perot Systems can perform the Additional
         Service, it shall provide RSC with a description of the work to be
         performed by each party, the parties' responsibilities with respect to
         that work, a schedule and Perot Systems' charges for that work. Upon
         receiving (i) RSC's approval of the authorization to proceed and
         agreement to pay Perot Systems' charges, and (ii) Applicable
         Specifications, where appropriate, the parties shall execute a written
         task order amendment to this Amended Agreement in substantially the
         same form contained in Schedule K. The task order shall contain any
         special terms and conditions applicable to such Additional Services,
         and Perot Systems will begin performing the Additional Services.

         b. For Application Systems Development Projects which are provided as
         Additional Services, Perot Systems and RSC shall use the Change Control
         and the Application Systems Development processes in accordance with
         Section 3.3 of this Amended Agreement.

         c. For Additional Services which are not Application Systems
         Development Projects, the following shall apply: (1) Perot Systems may
         bid such Additional Service at a fixed price, and RSC shall not be
         responsible for any additional payments on such fixed bids unless
         approved in writing; provided this provision does not apply to
         additional costs resulting from RSC's failure to perform its
         obligations and responsibilities for such work, or (2) Perot Systems
         may bid such Additional Service on a time and materials basis.

4.3 Intentionally Left Blank

4.4 Procurement Services. Perot Systems shall, at RSC's request, use its best
commercial efforts to procure equipment, software and other products or services
on RSC's behalf at the discounted prices available to Perot Systems. All
requests for Perot Systems procurement services will be pre-approved by RSC. RSC
will pay Perot Systems its actual invoice cost, applicable sales or other taxes,
and a procurement fee of five (5) percent of the actual invoice cost, exclusive
only of sales or other tax. RSC will assume full ownership of procured items
upon payment to Perot Systems.

                              ARTICLE 5. PERSONNEL

5.1 Perot Systems Employment. RSC employees listed on Schedule E who accepted
the Perot Systems employment offer and commenced employment with Perot Systems
prior to the Original Agreement Effective Date ("Schedule E Employee(s)"), are
subject to Perot Systems employment policies. Perot Systems shall credit
Schedule E Employees with their continuous RSC years of service (including
uninterrupted prior service with Ford Motor

                                    page 10
<PAGE>   11

Company) for the sole purpose of determining eligibility, vesting and benefit
levels in Perot Systems Employee Plans and programs.

5.2 Vacations. Schedule E Employees will be eligible for paid vacations in
accordance with the Perot Systems policy. Schedule E Employees with 20 or more
years of RSC continuous service on or before December 31, 1995 shall continue to
be eligible for five (5) weeks of annual vacation time off with Perot Systems.

5.3 Perot Systems Corporation Retirement Savings Plan and Trust (the "Perot
401(k) Plan")

         Annual Supplemental Contribution - Subject to compliance with all
         applicable laws, for each plan year from, and including, 1996 to 2005,
         Perot Systems shall take any and all action necessary to contribute to
         the Perot Systems 401(k) Plan individual account of each Schedule E
         Employee employed by Perot Systems on the last day of such plan year, a
         fully vested profit sharing contribution. Such contribution will equal
         six percent (6%) of each Schedule E Employee's annual base salary as of
         April 1, 1996 and will be in addition to other contributions provided
         for in the Perot 401(k) Plan, and will be made by Perot Systems on or
         before March 1 of the following plan year; provided, if a Schedule E
         Employee is a highly compensated employee as defined in the Perot
         401(k) Plan, and must be excluded from allocation of such contribution
         for the plan year in order for the Perot 401(k) Plan to meet the
         requirements of Section 410(b) of the Code, Perot Systems shall not
         make a supplemental contribution to the Perot 401(k) Plan account of
         such highly compensated Schedule E Employee for that plan year.
         Instead, such highly compensated employee who has not terminated
         employment with Perot Systems by the end of such year shall receive a
         lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) such aforementioned
         supplemental contribution, plus (ii) 35% of such amount. If the
         above-described contribution to the Perot 401(k) Plan cannot be made to
         a non-highly compensated employee who has not terminated employment
         with Perot Systems by the end of such year, in Perot Systems' judgment
         under applicable law after consultation with RSC, the employee shall
         receive a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) such aforementioned
         supplemental contribution, plus (ii) 35% of such amount, subject to
         applicable law.

5.4 Separation Payments. If Perot Systems should, prior to February 28, 2001,
"terminate the employment" (as defined below) of any Schedule E Employee, for
any reason other than good cause (as determined in Perot Systems' sole
discretion), Perot Systems shall pay to such employee "Severance Pay" as set
forth in subparagraph b below:

    a. A "termination of employment" shall occur only in the event the employee
    is finally and administratively discharged from employment with Perot
    Systems exclusively at the prerogative of Perot Systems. The following
    events, which are listed for purposes of example only and are not intended
    to be all inclusive, shall not constitute a "termination of employment" as
    that term is defined herein: (i) the resignation of an employee, including,
    but not limited to, claims of constructive discharge; (ii) the death of an

                                    page 11
<PAGE>   12

    employee; (iii) the disability of an employee, to the extent the employee
    cannot perform the essential functions of his or her position, with or
    without reasonable accommodation; and/or (iv) the temporary lay-off of an
    employee for a period of three (3) months or less.

    b. For those employees entitled to "Severance Pay", such pay shall be paid
    either on a monthly basis or in a lump sum amount, in Perot Systems' sole
    discretion, in an amount calculated as set forth in the "Severance Pay
    Table" below. The term "Months of Base Salary" as used in this table shall
    mean the highest monthly salary (inclusive of any employee directed Perot
    401(K) Plan contributions) received during the twelve (12) months preceding
    termination, but exclusive of any overtime, shift premium, bonus, or any
    other form of compensation or fringe benefits.

5.6. Key Employees. Appropriate staffing to provide the Services under this
Amended Agreement is the responsibility of Perot Systems. Nevertheless, during
the term of this Amended Agreement, Perot Systems will make every attempt to
balance Rouge Steel's requirements with Perot Systems' and employees' career
development needs. As part of this effort, Perot Systems will make reasonable
efforts to avoid transferring key Perot Systems employees assigned to perform
services under this Amended Agreement to perform services elsewhere, taking into
account the employee's career development needs. The term key employees is
without reference to whether a Perot Systems employee was formerly a RSC
employee, and former RSC employees are not necessarily key employees. Perot
Systems will notify RSC whenever an employee, assigned to the RSC account, is to
be transferred. If RSC reasonably determines that (i) the employee will be
performing services for a direct competitor of RSC that are substantially
similar to those services the employee performed for RSC within the previous
year, (ii) the employee has specific knowledge or skills critical to the success
of a deliverable due within the next six months, (iii) the employee is critical
to a strategic initiative as agreed to by the RSC Project Manager and the

                                    page 12
<PAGE>   13

Account Manager, (iv) the employee has unique knowledge of a particular system
not shared by other Perot Systems associates, then RSC may disapprove the
transfer. RSC will have ten days following its receipt of such notification to
notify Perot Systems of its disapproval. If RSC does not notify Perot Systems
within such ten-day period, RSC will be deemed to have approved such transfer.
In cases where Rouge Steel objects to the proposed transfer, Perot Systems and
RSC will make every effort to adopt a reasonable solution that equitably
balances Rouge Steel's and Perot Systems' needs.

5.7. Cooperation. Subject to compliance with all applicable laws, Perot Systems
shall provide to RSC, upon written request by RSC, with information necessary
for RSC to determine Schedule E Employee benefits pursuant to any RSC Employee
Plan. Subject to compliance with all applicable laws, RSC shall provide to Perot
Systems, upon written request by Perot Systems, with information necessary for
Perot Systems to determine Schedule E Employee benefits pursuant to any Perot
Systems Employee Plan.

5.8. Hiring of employees. Except as provided in Sections 5.1 and 12.7 of this
Amended Agreement, RSC and Perot Systems each agree that during the term of this
Amended Agreement and for one year thereafter, neither party nor any of its
Affiliates shall, except with the prior written consent of the other party,
which consent may be withheld in the other party's sole discretion, offer
employment to or employ any person employed then or within the preceding twelve
(12) months by the other or any Affiliate of the other.

5.9. Management of Employees. The Account Manager shall be responsible for the
management and assignment of all Perot Systems employees providing services to
RSC. Any matters pertaining to the assignment of Perot Systems' employees shall
be discussed by the Account Manager and RSC's Project Manager, and resolved by
the Account Manager. As part of its employment policies, Perot Systems provides
time off for its employees for vacations, maternity leaves, sicknesses,
training, military leave, jury duty and other personnel-related reasons. Such
absences for Perot Systems employees assigned to provide Base Services or to
provide Additional Application Systems Development to RSC under this Amended
Agreement or the assignment of additional personnel in their absence will not
affect the Monthly Base Charges or the Additional Development Charges. For Perot
Systems employees not assigned to RSC who may, from time to time, provide
Additional Application Systems Development, Perot Systems shall charge one
FTE-Month or its equivalent for each one-hundred, sixty (160) hours work.

5.10. Liability. Perot Systems shall have no financial responsibility and no
liability whatsoever with respect to Schedule E Employees for any period prior
to the Effective Date, except as provided in Section 5.3 of this Amended
Agreement. Subject to RSC's obligations to Perot Systems under Sections 10.5 and
14.1 of this Amended Agreement, RSC shall have no financial responsibility and
no liability whatsoever with respect to Schedule E Employees for any period on
or after the Effective Date; provided however, that RSC shall retain all
responsibility and liability for compliance with the requirements of Section
4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code") (Cobra) through
the Effective Date.

                              ARTICLE 6. RESOURCES

6.1 Overview. During the Term of this Amended Agreement, Perot Systems will
assume as specified in this Article 6 responsibility for managing,
administering, operating and maintaining the RSC Resources as set forth below.

6.2 Vendor Third Party Services. During the term of this Amended Agreement, RSC
will provide to Perot Systems access to and use of all of the third party
services governed by the Vendor Third Party Services Contracts listed under
Section A on Schedule D. RSC shall have the responsibility for the payment of
all amounts under such Vendor Third Party Services Contracts for as long as such
Third Party Services Contracts are provided to Perot Systems in accordance with
this Article 6. RSC agrees to obtain the Required Consents necessary for Perot
Systems to use such Third Party Services Contracts.

6.3 Management of the RSC Resources. Perot Systems shall be responsible for the
management of the Third Party Services described in Section 6.2 of this Amended
Agreement for as long as such RSC Resources are provided to Perot Systems in
accordance with this Article 6. To the extent permitted by the applicable
agreements governing such RSC Resources, RSC hereby appoints Perot Systems as
its sole agent for all matters pertaining to such RSC Resources and agrees to
promptly notify all appropriate third parties of such appointment as requested
by Perot Systems. RSC shall take no action affecting such RSC Resources without
the prior written consent of Perot Systems.

6.4 Failure to Obtain Required Consents or to Provide Resources. In the event
that any Required Consent is not obtained with respect to any of the RSC
Resources, then, unless and until such Required Consent is obtained, any
agreement governing any affected Contractor Third Party Services Contracts shall
not be deemed assigned to Perot Systems, and the parties shall cooperate with
each other in achieving a reasonable alternative arrangement. If RSC fails to
provide to Perot Systems any RSC Resources required to be provided pursuant to
Article 5 or Article 6 of this Amended Agreement, then Perot Systems shall be
excused from performing the Services if and to the extent such nonperformance
results from such failure to provide resources, and Perot Systems'
nonperformance will not be deemed to be a breach of this Amended Agreement or
grounds for termination of this Amended Agreement by RSC. RSC and Perot Systems
shall use their best commercial efforts, however, to correct the nonperformance
at RSC's expense.

7.4 P.S.C. Systems. P.S.C. Systems are and shall remain Perot Systems' property,
and RSC shall have no rights or interests to them except as described in this
Amended Agreement. Upon expiration or termination of this Amended Agreement,
Perot Systems shall grant to RSC a perpetual, non-transferable, nonexclusive
license to use the application software programs (including all related
documentation) of any P.S.C. Systems then being used by Perot Systems in
providing Services to RSC (the "Licensed Programs"), if RSC requests such a
license in writing prior to the expiration of this Amended Agreement. This
license grant is contingent upon RSC and Perot Systems entering into a license
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Perot Systems and
RSC, containing such terms and conditions as may be appropriate to protect the
business interests and proprietary rights of Perot Systems, including, but not
limited to the following:

         a. The Licensed Programs shall be operated, directly or indirectly,
         only (i) by bona fide employees of RSC, and (ii) on equipment that is
         under the control of RSC, unless other arrangements are necessary due
         to natural disaster or similar emergency.

         b. The Licensed Programs shall be used only to process the work of RSC
         and its Affiliates and not to provide services to any others.

         c. RSC shall keep the Licensed Programs confidential and shall not at
         any time allow the Licensed Programs, any of their components or any
         modifications to them, to be disclosed to third parties, sold,
         assigned, leased or commercially exploited or marketed in any way, with
         or without charge, by RSC or its employees or agents. Except to the
         extent required for normal operation of the Licensed Programs as
         permitted by this Section 7.4, RSC shall not permit the Licensed
         Programs to be copied or reproduced, in whole or in part, by any person
         or entity at any time.

         d. RSC agrees that the Licensed Programs are the valuable property of
         Perot Systems, that violation in any material respect of any provision
         of the arrangement referred to in this Section 7.4 would cause Perot
         Systems irreparable injury for which it would have no adequate remedy
         at law, and that Perot Systems shall be entitled to preliminary and
         other injunctive relief against any such violation without the need to
         post a bond or make a showing of irreparable harm. Such injunctive
         relief shall be in addition to, and in no way in limitation of, any
         other remedies or rights which Perot Systems may have at law, in equity
         or otherwise.

         e. In the event Perot Systems ceases providing maintenance and support
         services for such P.S.C. Systems, RSC shall be entitled to receive the
         source

                                    page 16
<PAGE>   17

         code for the P.S.C. Systems to use solely for the purposes of providing
         maintenance and support for RSC's internal use of the P.S.C. in
         accordance with the provisions of license agreement.

         f. RSC shall pay a reasonable license fee.

                           ARTICLE 8. RSC OBLIGATIONS

         "Project Manager").

         l. Provide Perot Systems with reasonable notification of, and lead time
         to respond to, service requests, including changes to the number or
         format of required management reports, study requests, and requests to

   ARTICLE 9. SAFEGUARDING THE COMPANY DATA, CONFIDENTIALITY AND AUDIT RIGHTS

9.1 RSC Data. The data of RSC, including program code and related documentation
both in production and under development, provided to Perot Systems for
processing under this Amended Agreement shall be and remain the property of RSC.
Upon the termination of this Amended Agreement for any reason, data shall be
returned to RSC by Perot Systems at Perot Systems' expense. The data of RSC
shall not be used by Perot Systems for any purpose other than that of providing
Services, nor shall such data or any part of such data be disclosed, sold,
assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of to third parties by Perot Systems or
commercially exploited by or on behalf of Perot Systems, its employees or
agents.

9.2 Safeguarding RSC Data. Perot Systems will establish and maintain safeguards
against the destruction, loss or alteration of the data of RSC in the possession
of Perot Systems which are no less rigorous than those in effect at the Data
Center as of the Effective Date. In the event that additional safeguards for
such data are reasonably requested by RSC, Perot Systems shall provide such
additional safeguards, and RSC shall reimburse Perot Systems for Perot Systems'
costs in providing such additional safeguards. RSC shall have the right, at its
own expense, to establish backup security for data, and to keep backup data and
data files in its possession if it so chooses; provided, however, that Perot
Systems will have such access to the backup data and data files as Perot Systems
reasonably requires to perform its obligations under this Amended Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, Perot Systems will, as part of Base Services,
establish and implement a procedure for copying RSC's data to magnetic tape
media at least weekly and on a mutually agreed schedule. The most recent copies
of such data will be stored by Perot Systems in a secure and convenient
location, provided by RSC, and

                                    page 19
<PAGE>   20

the prior copies of such data will be removed from storage and delivered to a
designated RSC employee no later than one business day following the creation of
the current copy.

9.3 Confidentiality. Perot Systems and RSC each agree that all information
communicated to it by the other, whether before or after the Effective Date,
shall be and was received in strict confidence, shall be used only for purposes
of this Amended Agreement, and that no such information, including the
provisions of this Amended Agreement, shall be disclosed by the recipient party,
its agents or employees without the prior written consent of the other party,
except as may be necessary by reason of legal, accounting or regulatory
requirements beyond the reasonable control of the recipient party. Should either
party discover a violation of this provision by one of its employees or
contractors working under their direction, it shall so notify the other party of
such violation. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Amended Agreement for any reason.

9.4 Audit Rights. Upon three (3) business days' prior written notice to Perot
Systems, RSC shall be entitled, at its own expense, to engage auditors and/or
inspectors (1) to conduct a review of Perot System's performance of its system
design and coding processes under this Amended Agreement (a "Performance
Audit"), (2) to audit or inspect the business of RSC for which Perot Systems
will provide, for that limited purpose, reasonable access to the Data Center,
(3) to audit Perot Systems' accounting records relating to the time and
materials utilized on Additional Services pursuant to Section 4.2.c(2), and (4)
to review reasonable levels of detailed information, as normally reported by
Perot Systems to its Account Manager, for purposes of verifying Perot Systems'
direct expenses associated with Base Services, however, RSC shall have no right
to review or audit Perot Systems' allocable fringe benefit or overhead expenses.
All audits or inspections shall be subject to the following provisions: (1)
auditors or inspectors are not one of the three (3) Perot Systems' direct
competitors that Perot Systems designates at the time of notice; (2) auditors or
inspectors have executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement with Perot
Systems; (3) RSC shall pay Perot Systems for Perot Systems' costs for any
resources required by the audit or inspection in addition to the resources that
Perot Systems would otherwise use in the performance of this Amended Agreement;
(4) Perot Systems shall not be required to provide any of its competitors, if
RSC designates any such competitor to perform such audit, with access to Perot
Systems' trade secrets or proprietary information; and (5) in the case of a
Performance Audit, neither RSC nor the auditors and inspectors will disclose the
results of such Performance Audit to third parties, except to an arbitration
panel in accordance with Section 12.3 of this Amended Agreement; or use such
results or any information obtained during such Performance Audit for any
purpose other than evaluating Perot System's performance of its system design
and coding processes under this Amended Agreement.

9.5 Third Party Discovery. If any governmental agency or any third party shall
seek in any way to discover or otherwise gain access to, or production
("Discovery") of any Systems, confidential information or any other data or
records of one party that may be in

                                    page 20
<PAGE>   21

the possession of the other party, the other party shall immediately notify the
first party and shall, at the first party's written request and at the first
party's expense, oppose such Discovery, and cooperate with the first party in
the first party's efforts to preclude, quash, limit or impose protective orders
or similar restrictions on such Discovery.

9.6 Perot Systems Reassignment. Perot Systems shall not reassign or transfer the
Account Manager or any IS Analyst having active participation in the strategic
planning of RSC's business to another Perot Systems account providing services
to a competitor of RSC (i) for at least twelve (12) months after the Account
Manager or IS Analyst no longer provides service to RSC, or (ii) unless approved
by RSC, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                      ARTICLE 10. PAYMENTS TO PEROT SYSTEMS

10.1 Monthly Base Charge. For each Monthly period during the term of this
Amended Agreement, RSC shall pay to Perot Systems a Monthly Base Charge in
accordance with Schedule G to this Amended Agreement, as adjusted from time to
time in accordance with Schedule G . At the end of each year, a reconciliation
of Monthly Base Charges and performance-based incentives will be performed in
accordance with Schedule G.

10.2 Additional Services Charges. RSC shall pay Perot Systems for all Additional
Services provided by Perot Systems in accordance with a payment schedule for
such items to be agreed upon in writing by the parties.

10.3 Additional Development Charges. RSC shall pay Perot Systems for all
Additional Development Services provided by Perot Systems as follows:

     a.  RSC will pay to Perot Systems $169,552.00 for each month of the Amended
         Agreement through 3/31/2001 as contemplated in the Original Agreement
         and the 960 FTE-month block of labor supplied by Perot Systems and
         described in section 3.2.a.

     b.  RSC will pay Perot Systems for each FTE-month consumed out of the 820
         FTE month pool described in section 3.2.b at the current rate per
         FTE-month calculated in accordance with section 3.2.b. From the period
         beginning April 1, 2001 through the Term of the Amended Agreement, RSC
         will pay Perot Systems for a minimum of 8 FTE-months per month. If RSC
         consumes less than 8 FTE-months in any month, the unused FTE-months
         paid for by RSC will be available for consumption by RSC prior to the
         end of the Amended Agreement Term, at no additional charge to RSC. At
         no time will RSC pay PSC for less than 8 FTE-months per month. If RSC
         consumes more than 8 FTE-months in a given month then RSC will pay PSC
         for all FTE-months consumed in that month less any FTE-months
         previously paid for and unused (credit) by RSC.

                                    page 21
<PAGE>   22

10.4 Out-of-Pocket Expenses. RSC shall pay, or reimburse Perot Systems for, the
reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses, including, but not limited to, all
communication related expenses incurred by Perot Systems in the course of
providing services to RSC, travel and travel-related expenses, performed
according to RSC's travel guidelines, incurred by Perot Systems in connection
with the performance of this Amended Agreement; provided, however, that RSC
shall reimburse Perot Systems for the annual supplemental contributions and the
annual lump sum payments under Section 5.4.b (the "5.4.b Reimbursement") at
seventy percent (70%) of the aggregate amount. Upon termination, for any reason,
RSC shall pay Perot Systems, at least thirty (30) days prior to termination, the
net present value of seventy percent (70%) of the remaining 5.4.b Reimbursement
based on the assumptions that this payment upon termination (1) is discounted by
the 30-year U.S. Treasury rate, (2) is based on the estimated employment term of
Schedule E Employees as agreed to by RSC and Perot Systems, and (3) the
remaining 5.4.b Reimbursement is treated as if all such reimbursement could be
made to the Perot 401(k) Plan, for purposes of determining this payment upon
termination. Moreover, such reimbursement obligation for the 5.4.b Reimbursement
is independent from, and is not conditioned upon, any other obligation of either
party under this Amended Agreement, except Perot Systems' obligation under
Section 5.4.b. Accordingly, RSC's reimbursement obligation for the 5.4.b
Reimbursement is without right of set-off and shall not be subject to any
defense or counter-claim against Perot Systems, other than Perot Systems'
failure to make annual supplemental contributions and annual lump sum payments
pursuant to Section 5.4.b.

10.5 Time and Manner of Payment. Perot Systems will submit invoices to RSC for
the following charges on or about the first day of each month: (i) the Monthly
Base Charge for the previous month, and (ii) any out-of-pocket expenses. RSC
shall remit payment for such invoices within fifteen (15) days of receipt. If
the fifteenth day after receipt is a banking holiday, the payment may be made on
the next business day after such banking holiday. In addition, Perot Systems
will submit invoices to RSC for the following charges on or about the first day
of each month: (i) the Additional Application Development Charges specified in
Section 10.3, and (ii) any charges for Additional Services in arrears. RSC shall
remit payment for such invoices within fifteen (15) days of receipt. Payments
due Perot Systems for semiannual performance incentives, or RSC profit
performance incentive in accordance with Schedule G shall be invoiced to RSC
after the end of the period to which the charges apply. Any sum due Perot
Systems for which a time for payment is not otherwise specified shall be due and
payable within thirty (30) days of RSC's receipt of an invoice from Perot
Systems. All payments due Perot Systems shall be remitted by RSC by wire
transfer to Bank of America, San Francisco, CA, ABA #121000358, Perot Systems
Corporation account #1233926853. Should Perot Systems change remittance
instructions, it shall so notify RSC, in writing. Any sum due Perot Systems that
is not paid on time shall accrue interest until paid at a rate of interest equal
to one and one half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate of interest
allowed by applicable law, if less. Day of receipt shall be the day the invoice
is delivered by hand or transmitted electronically to RSC's premises (to a
specific point of receipt which shall be designated by RSC), the next business
day after it is deposited with

                                    page 22
<PAGE>   23

an overnight delivery service such as Federal Express, or three (3) business
days after it is deposited in the U.S. mail.

10.6 Taxes. RSC shall pay, or reimburse Perot Systems for payment of, any taxes
or amounts paid in lieu of taxes, however designated or levied, based upon this
Amended Agreement, the charges of Perot Systems or the Systems, the Services or
materials provided under this Amended Agreement. Perot Systems is only
responsible for the payment of franchise taxes, employment taxes for its
employees and taxes based on the net income or gross revenues of Perot Systems.
RSC represents that it has obtained a direct pay permit number from the State of
Michigan, Number 38-2386833. Perot Systems will not include sales or use taxes
on its invoices for supplies shipped to, or services that will be furnished in
locations applicable to such Michigan permit. RSC shall be responsible for
paying all such sales and use taxes directly to the appropriate taxing
authority. However, in the event Perot Systems is legally obligated to pay any
such taxes to an appropriate taxing authority, RSC shall reimburse Perot Systems
for such taxes. In regard to supplies shipped to, or services that will be
provided in locations outside of Michigan, Perot Systems will include sales or
use taxes on its invoices for such supplies and services.

10.7 Proration. All periodic charges under this Amended Agreement are to be
computed on a calendar month basis, and will be prorated for any partial month.

10.8 Rights of Set-off. With respect to any amount to be reimbursed to RSC or
otherwise payable to RSC by Perot Systems pursuant to this Amended Agreement,
Perot Systems may, at its option, pay that amount by giving RSC a credit against
the charges otherwise payable to Perot Systems under this Amended Agreement.

                   ARTICLE 11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         receipt of any applicable Required Consents and government filings,
         Perot Systems will obtain on the Amendment Date (i) the right to use
         the RSC Systems to perform the Services, to the same extent as utilized
         by RSC in the conduct of its business as of the Amendment Date.

         g. Subject to the receipt of any applicable Required Consents, the
         assets which Perot Systems has obtained or will obtain the right to use
         pursuant to Article 5 and Article 6 of this Amended Agreement, are all
         the assets, including Systems, hardware, facilities, furnishings and
         equipment (other than cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities,
         restricted cash investments, accounts receivables and notes
         receivables), which RSC was using as of the Amendment Date to provide
         the Existing Services.

11.2 By Perot Systems. Perot Systems represents and warrants to RSC as follows:

         a. Perot Systems (i) is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
         existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
         and (ii) has full corporate power to own, lease, and operate its
         properties and assets, to conduct its business as that business is
         currently being conducted, and to consummate the transactions
         contemplated by this Amended Agreement to be consummated by Perot
         Systems.

         b. This Amended Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered by it and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of it,
         enforceable against it in accordance with this Amended Agreement's
         terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and
         other laws now or hereafter in effect relating to and affecting the
         rights of creditors generally and to equitable principles of general
         application.

         c. Neither the execution nor delivery by it of this Amended Agreement,
         nor the consummation by it of any of the transactions contemplated by
         this Amended Agreement, will result in the breach of any term or
         provision of, or constitute a default under, any charter provision or
         bylaw, or material

                                    page 24
<PAGE>   25

         agreement (subject to any applicable Required Consent), order, law,
         rule or regulation to which it is a party or which is otherwise
         applicable to it.

         d. The Services will be rendered by qualified personnel and consistent
         with good commercial practice in the I/S industry; provided, however,
         that (i) Perot Systems' use of any of the employees listed in Schedule
         E to perform the Services through February 28, 2001 shall not
         constitute a breach of this warranty; and (ii) Perot Systems' only
         liability, and RSC's sole remedy, for breach of the warranty set forth
         in this paragraph (d) is the reperformance of any defective Services at
         no additional charge to RSC.

         e. Perot Systems will not access the RSC information systems for any
         reason except as authorized under this Amended Agreement. Perot Systems
         will not incorporate any expiration features, passwords, access codes
         or other features which may limit, in any way, RSC's use of the
         information systems except as agreed by RSC for normal system's
         security purposes. This warranty will survive the termination of this
         Amended Agreement.

         f. This is a services agreement. ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN
         SECTION 11.2 d ABOVE, PEROT SYSTEMS MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE
         SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AMENDED AGREEMENT, AND
         EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
         INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
         SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

                 ARTICLE 12. PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND TERMINATION

12.1 Performance Review. The Account Manager and the RSC Project Manager will
meet as often as shall reasonably be requested by either party, but at least
monthly, to review the performance of either party under this Amended Agreement.
Written or taped minutes of such meetings may be kept.

12.2 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute or disagreement between the
parties either in interpreting any provision of this Amended Agreement or about
the performance of either party, or any disputed charges arising hereunder, then
upon the written request of either party, each of the parties will appoint a
designated representative to resolve such dispute or disagreement. The
designated representatives will discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith
in an effort to resolve the dispute without any formal proceeding. During the
course of such negotiation(s), all reasonable requests made by one party to the
other for information, including copies of relevant documents, will be honored.
The specific format for such discussions will be left to the discretion of the
designated representatives. If the designated representatives are unable to
resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after their first meeting, each
party will appoint a designated officer of its corporation to attempt to resolve
the dispute. No litigation for the resolution of such

                                    page 25
<PAGE>   26

disputes may be commenced until the designated officers have met and either
party has concluded in good faith that amicable resolution through continued
negotiation does not appear likely (unless either party fails or refuses to
schedule such a meeting of officers within a reasonable time after a request to
do so by the other party).

12.3 Arbitration. Any dispute that is not resolved through negotiation pursuant
to Section 12.2 will be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration in
accordance with the following:

         a.   Except as specified below or otherwise mutually agreed in writing
              by the parties to the dispute, the arbitration will be conducted
              in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules
              of the American Arbitration Association.

         b.   Any demand for arbitration or any counterclaim will specify in
              reasonable detail the facts and legal grounds forming the basis
              for the claimant's request for relief, and will include a
              statement of the total amount of damages claimed, if any, and any
              other remedy sought by the claimant.

         c.   The arbitration will be conducted by an arbitration panel
              consisting of three neutral arbitrators selected in accordance
              with those Commercial Arbitration Rules.

         d.   The arbitration proceedings will take place in Detroit, Michigan.

         e.   The arbitration panel may render awards of monetary damages,
              direction to take or refrain from taking action, or both. However,
              the arbitration panel's jurisdiction will be limited by the terms
              of this Amended Agreement, including but not limited to
              disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability.

         f.   The arbitration panel may, at its discretion, require any party to
              the arbitration to reimburse any other party to the arbitration
              for all or any part of the expenses of the arbitration paid by the
              other party and the attorneys' fees and other expenses reasonably
              incurred by the other party in connection with the arbitration.

         g.   Judgment upon the award rendered in the arbitration may be entered
              in any court of competent jurisdiction.

12.4 Termination for Cause. If either party materially or repeatedly defaults in
the performance of any of its duties or obligations under this Amended Agreement
(except for a default in payments to Perot Systems, which is governed by Section
12.5 of this Amended Agreement), which default is not substantially cured within
sixty (60) days after written notice is given to the defaulting party specifying
the default, or, with respect to those defaults which cannot reasonably be cured
within sixty (60) days, if the defaulting party fails to proceed within sixty
(60) days to commence curing said default

                                    page 26
<PAGE>   27

and to proceed with all due diligence substantially to cure the default, then
the party not in default may, by giving written notice of termination to the
defaulting party, terminate this Amended Agreement as of a date specified in the
notice of termination.

12.5 Termination for Nonpayment. If RSC defaults in the payment when due of any
amount due to Perot Systems and does not, within thirty (30) days after being
given written notice, cure such default, or, if RSC in good faith disputes the
amount due, does not deposit the disputed amount in escrow in a major U.S.
commercial bank to be designated by Perot Systems, with interest to be allocated
to the party entitled to the principal upon resolution of the dispute, then
Perot Systems may, by giving written notice to RSC, terminate this Amended
Agreement as of a date specified in the notice of termination.

12.6  Intentionally Left Blank

12.7  Rights Upon Termination.

         a. Upon termination of this Amended Agreement by RSC, Perot Systems
         shall, if so requested by RSC, provide reasonable training for RSC
         personnel to minimize disruption in the transition of the Services to
         RSC. Training may be provided from the time of RSC's request to the
         date of termination or expiration and for up to six (6) additional
         months following termination or expiration. RSC shall pay Perot Systems
         for such training at Perot Systems' then published commercial rates.
         Upon termination, it shall not be a violation of this Amended Agreement
         for RSC to extend offers of employment to the Perot Systems personnel
         listed in Schedule E and Perot Systems shall not limit the ability of
         those employees to accept those offers of employment.

         b. If Perot Systems terminates this Amended Agreement for RSC's
         default, RSC shall immediately pay Perot Systems for all Services
         performed and Systems or equipment delivered through the termination
         date, plus reasonable termination costs, including but not limited to
         (i) any Losses incurred in connection with the early termination of any
         lease or other agreement relating to services or resources used by
         Perot Systems to perform the Services, (ii) any Losses incurred in
         connection with the sale of any resources then being used by Perot
         Systems in the performance of the Services, and (iii) any other
         reasonable, documented costs and expenses related to termination. Perot
         Systems shall be obligated to mitigate its damages and losses including
         assigning any third party obligations, agreements, costs or expenses of
         Perot Systems in order to reduce the Losses, as permitted by third
         party vendors. Perot Systems shall not enter into any third party
         obligation after April 1, 1996, that may be necessary beyond any
         termination, that is not assignable to RSC at termination, without
         RSC's approval. Perot Systems shall notify RSC of any third party
         obligations made, or intended to be made within ninety (90) days, prior
         to April 1, 1996, that may be necessary beyond any termination, that
         are not assignable to RSC at termination.

                                    page 27
<PAGE>   28

12.8 Termination Tasks. During the period from termination notice until
termination, Perot Systems shall coordinate the orderly transfer of services
back to RSC or their designee. Perot Systems shall promptly answer RSC inquiries
regarding Perot Systems' services. All RSC data and programs shall be made
available to RSC, or copied for RSC on magnetic media as designated by RSC, by
Perot Systems. A copy of all run-time documentation, job control procedures,
hardware documentation, and network documentation including topology, and an
inventory and documentation of all RSC Systems, Developed Systems and P.S.C.
Systems then being used by RSC shall be provided by Perot Systems.

                              ARTICLE 13. REMEDIES

13.1 Measure of Damages. The measure of damages recoverable from one party by
the other for any reason, whether arising by negligence, willful misconduct or
otherwise, shall not include any amounts for indirect, special, consequential or
punitive damages of any party, including third parties, even if such damages are
foreseeable. Further, Perot Systems shall have no liability for damages which
could have been avoided had RSC or the applicable RSC Affiliate exercised
reasonable efforts to verify the data furnished by Perot Systems before
utilization of such data.

13.2 Limitation of Damages. In the event one party shall be liable to the other
party for damages arising under or in connection with this Amended Agreement,
whether arising by negligence, willful misconduct, or otherwise, then that party
may recover from the other its direct damages up to an amount not to exceed in
the aggregate for all events the Monthly Base Charge for the first eight full
months of this Amended Agreement.

13.3 Exclusion. The limitations set forth in Section 13.2 of this Amended
Agreement are not applicable to (i) any breach of the nondisclosure and
confidentiality provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.3 of this Amended Agreement,
(ii) the failure of one party to make payments due under this Amended Agreement
to the other, (iii) indemnification claims as set forth in Article 14, or (iv)
lost profits to Perot Systems associated with the breach of this Amended
Agreement by RSC or the resulting termination of this Amended Agreement pursuant
to such breach.

13.4 Limitation Period. Neither party to this Amended Agreement may assert
against the other party any claim in connection with this Amended Agreement
unless the asserting party has given the other party written notice of the claim
within one year after the asserting party first knew or should have known of the
facts giving rise to such claim, except that claims for non-payment may be
brought at any time up to one (1) year from the date payment was due, or within
six months after termination of this Amended Agreement, whichever occurs
earlier. Commencement of the dispute resolution procedures under Section 12.2 of
this Amended Agreement shall constitute written notice of the dispute or
disagreement for purposes of this Section 13.4.

              This liability includes, but is not limited to, costs of

              the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Internal Revenue
              Service, the Department of Labor or a multiemployer plan or
              arising from a claim by a participant or participants, provided
              that this provision does not limit in any way RSC's reimbursement
              obligations to Perot Systems pursuant to Section 10.5 of this
              Amended Agreement.

14.3 Cross Indemnity. Perot Systems and RSC each agree to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the other, its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors
and assigns in accordance with the procedures described in Section 14.4 of this
Amended Agreement, from any and all Losses arising from or in connection with:
(i) the death or bodily injury of any agent, employee, customer, business
invitee or business visitor of the indemnitee; or (ii) the damage, loss or
destruction of any real or tangible personal property in the possession or under
the control of the indemnitee, in either case, to the extent that such claim,
action, liability, loss, damage, cost or expense was proximately caused by the
indemnifying party's tortious act or omission, or by those of its agents or
employees. Notwithstanding the terms contained in the previous sentence or in
any other part of this Amended Agreement to the contrary, Perot Systems shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless RSC from any and all Losses arising from the
death or bodily injury of any agent or employee of Perot Systems unless such
Losses resulted from the sole negligence or wilfull misconduct of RSC.

14.4 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by any person entitled
to indemnification under Sections 14.1 through 14.3 of this Amended Agreement
(an "Indemnified Party") of notice of the commencement (or threatened
commencement) of any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action or
proceeding involving a claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party will seek
indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall notify the party which is obligated
to provide such indemnification (an "Indemnifying Party") of such claim in
writing. No failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve it of its
obligations under this Amended Agreement except to the extent that it can
demonstrate damages attributable to the Indemnified Party's failure to notify.
The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense
and/or settlement of such claim, provided that, within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such written notice, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified
Party of its election to so assume full control. In that event: (i) the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to

                                    page 31
<PAGE>   32

participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel at its own
expense to assist in the handling of such claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party
shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering
into any settlement of such claim or ceasing to defend against such claim if
such settlement or cessation would cause injunctive or other relief to be
imposed against the Indemnified Party. After notice by the Indemnifying Party to
the Indemnified Party of its election to assume full control of the defense of
any such action, the Indemnifying party shall not be liable to the Indemnified
Party for any legal expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with the defense of that claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume sole
control over the defense of such claim as provided in this Section 14.4, the
Indemnifying Party may participate in such defense and the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem
appropriate, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying
Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for such costs and
expenses, in accordance with the applicable Section of this Article 14. An
Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for
any amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in the settlement of any
such claim which was agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnifying
Party.

14.5 Subrogation. In the event that an Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to
indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 14.1 through 14.3 of this
Amended Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon payment of such indemnity
in full, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to
the claims to which such indemnification relates.

14.6 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification rights of each Indemnified Party
pursuant to Sections 14.1 through 14.3 of this Amended Agreement shall be the
exclusive remedy of such Indemnified Party with respect to the claims to which
such indemnification relates; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party
shall retain the right to seek injunctive or other non-monetary equitable
remedies with respect to such claims.

                            ARTICLE 15. MISCELLANEOUS

              b. Workers' Compensation. Each Party shall also maintain workers'
              compensation insurance, or shall be self-insured for workers'
              compensation provided that party is in compliance with applicable
              statutes and regulations, in the amounts and with benefits
              required by the laws of the state in which the work is performed
              and the states in which employees are hired, if the states are
              other than those in which the work is performed, and employers'
              liability insurance with minimum limits of: five hundred thousand
              dollars for bodily injury by accident/each accident; five hundred
              thousand dollars for bodily injury by disease/each employee; and
              five hundred thousand dollars for bodily injury by disease/policy
              limit (aggregate).

              c. Property. RSC shall also maintain insurance for its building,
              contents, machinery, equipment, furniture, vehicles, fixtures,
              stock, and improvements and betterments whether owned or leased,
              to its full replacement cost value, except that Perot Systems
              shall maintain insurance for the full replacement cost value of
              its owned furniture and equipment.

Each party shall, within thirty (30) days after the other's request, provide the
other party with a certificate of insurance or in the event of a coverage
dispute, a copy of its insurance policies required by this contract.
Administrative fees for providing copies of insurance policies shall be paid for
by the requesting party. Perot Systems agrees to name RSC as an additional
insured on its Commercial General Liability insurance. Perot Systems' Commercial
General Liability and Workers Compensation insurance shall be endorsed to
require the insurance carriers to send written notice to RSC of cancellation of
the policies at least thirty (30) days prior to such cancellation.

15.2 Safety Standards. Perot Systems agrees to comply with RSC's safety
standards and regulations and will instruct its employees, contractors and
agents performing services under this Amended Agreement to comply with such
safety standards and regulations.

15.3 Binding Nature and Assignment. This Amended Agreement shall bind the
parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign
this Amended Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Perot
Systems shall have the right to assign this Amended Agreement to any Affiliate
of Perot Systems without RSC's consent, upon giving RSC written notice of such
assignment. Any other assignment attempted without the written consent of the
other party shall be void.

15.4 Notices. When one party is required or permitted to give notice to the
other, such notice shall be deemed given when delivered by hand or when mailed
by United States mail, registered or certified mail, return-receipt requested,
postage prepaid, and addressed as follows:

15.5 Counterparts. This Amended Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one single agreement
between the parties.

15.6 Headings. The article and section headings and the table of contents are
for reference and convenience only and shall not be considered in the
interpretation of this Amended Agreement.

15.7 Relationship of Parties. Perot Systems, in furnishing services to RSC, is
acting only as an independent contractor. Except where this Amended Agreement
expressly provides otherwise, Perot Systems does not undertake by this Amended
Agreement or otherwise to perform any obligation of RSC, whether regulatory or
contractual, or to assume any responsibility for RSC's business or operations.
Perot Systems has the sole right and

                                    page 34
<PAGE>   35

obligation to supervise, manage, contract, direct, procure, perform or cause to
be performed, all work to be performed and resources used by Perot Systems under
this Amended Agreement, except where it is specifically stated that RSC must
give approval or consent.

15.8 Approvals and Similar Actions. Where agreement, approval, acceptance,
consent or similar action by either party is required by any provision of this
Amended Agreement, such action shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld,
unless specifically permitted by this Amended Agreement.

15.9 Force Majeure. Each party shall be excused from performance under this
Amended Agreement and shall have no liability to the other party for any period
it is prevented from performing any of its obligations (other than payment
obligations), in whole or in part, as a result of delays caused by the other
party or by an act of God, war, civil disturbance, court order, labor dispute,
third party performance or nonperformance, or other cause beyond its reasonable
control, including computer viruses, failures or fluctuations in electrical
power, heat, light, or telecommunications, and such nonperformance shall not be
a default under, or grounds for termination of, this Amended Agreement.

15.10 Severability. If any provision of this Amended Agreement is held to be
unenforceable, then both parties shall be relieved of all obligations arising
under such provision, but only to the extent that such provision is
unenforceable, and this Amended Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying
such provision to the extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving
its intent or, if that is not possible, by substituting another provision that
is enforceable and achieves the same objective and economic result. If such
unenforceable provision does not relate to the payments to be made to Perot
Systems, and if the remainder of this Amended Agreement is capable of
substantial performance, then the remainder of this Amended Agreement shall be
enforced to the extent permitted by law. IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED
THAT EACH PROVISION OF THIS AMENDED AGREEMENT WHICH PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, INDEMNIFICATION OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES OR
OTHER REMEDIES IS INTENDED TO BE SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ANY OTHER
PROVISION AND TO BE ENFORCED AS SUCH. FURTHER, IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND
AGREED THAT IN THE EVENT ANY REMEDY UNDER THIS AMENDED AGREEMENT IS DETERMINED
TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, ALL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND
EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT.

15.11 Waiver. No delay or omission by either party to exercise any right or
power it has under this Amended Agreement shall impair or be construed as a
waiver of such right or power. A waiver by either party of any covenant or
breach shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any
other covenant. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the party waiving
its rights.

the enforcement of this Amended Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute,
breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of
this Amended Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorney's fees and other costs incurred in that action or
proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

15.13 Media Releases. All media releases, public announcements and public
disclosures by RSC or Perot Systems or their employees or agents relating to
this Amended Agreement or its subject matter, including promotional or marketing
materials, shall be coordinated with and approved by the other party prior to
release. This restriction does not apply (i) to any announcement intended solely
for internal distribution at RSC, at any RSC Affiliate or at Perot Systems or
(ii) any disclosure required by legal, accounting or regulatory requirements
beyond the reasonable control of the disclosing party.

15.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties agree that this Amended
Agreement is for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer
any legal rights or benefits on any third party, including any person listed in
Schedule E, and that there are no third party beneficiaries to this Amended
Agreement or any part or specific provision of this Amended Agreement.

each of which is incorporated into this Amended Agreement, is the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter, and there are
no other representations, understandings or agreements between the parties
relative to such subject matter. No amendment to, or change, waiver or discharge
of any provision of this Amended Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and
signed by an authorized representative of the party against which such
amendment, change, waiver or discharge is sought to be enforced.

than choice of law rules, of the State of Michigan.
