Network System integrator. Customer shall arrange for such installation to
include the assembly of the Repeater enclosure on the plinth and the
reattachment of the enclosure door to the enclosure (without connection of the
air conditioning unit). Within five (5) Business Days of Contractor's receipt of
such notice, Contractor shall deliver the PA Kit to the Installation Site and
perform all work necessary to reassemble the PA Kit with the Enclosure Kit (the
"Rooftop Assembly") to allow the Repeater to function in accordance with the
requirements set forth in Exhibit A (Design Specifications).

     (e)  To ensure that the Repeater functions in accordance with the
requirements set forth in Exhibit A (Design Specifications), Contractor shall,
immediately upon completion of the Rooftop Assembly, conduct Rooftop Testing.
Such Rooftop Testing shall be performed by Contractor in accordance with Exhibit
E (Test Plans and Procedures) (to be developed hereunder) and Article 8.2
(Acceptance of Repeaters) and shall be completed within the five (5) Business
Day period set forth above.

     (f)  Contractor shall be responsible for the difference, if any, in the
cost of a load spreader required to install the Repeater, at its actual weight,
over and above the cost that would have been incurred for a load spreader
required to install a 180 kg. Repeater. Such amount shall be determined without
any mark-up or additional charge to Contractor and shall be treated as a credit
pursuant to Article 6.1(b). If Customer believes a credit is due under this
paragraph, then Customer shall provide, along with the written notice to
Contractor required by Article 6.1(b), such supporting documentation as may be
reasonably required to determine the amount of such credit.

     (g)  Contractor shall be responsible for the difference, if any, in the
cost required to ship the Enclosure Kit, at its actual weight, from the Staging
Areas to the Installation Sites over and

above the cost that would have been incurred for shipping a 180 kg. Standard
Repeater from the Staging Areas to the Installation Sites. Such amount shall be
determined without any mark-up or additional charge to Contractor and shall be
treated as a credit pursuant to Article 6.1(b). If Customer believes a credit is
due under this paragraph, then Customer shall provide, along with the written
notice to Contractor required by Article 6.1(b), such supporting documentation
as may be reasonably required to determine the amount of such credit.

     (h)  The Parties believe that the need for structural analysis at the
Installation Sites due to the increased weight of the Standard Repeaters will be
greatly minimized if a proper load spreading device is used.  Based on this
belief, Customer agrees to assume the costs associated with such structural
analyses; provided, however, if, after the first fifty (50) Installation Sites
are selected by Customer's Terrestrial Repeater Network System integrator, it is
determined that a structural analysis was required on in excess of seventy (70%)
of such Installation Sites, the Parties agree to meet and discuss, in good
faith, an equitable division of the costs associated with the increased need for
such structural analyses.

     (b)  Customer may from time to time conduct an audit to examine and assess
Contractor's compliance with the provisions of paragraph (a) above, provided
Customer engages an external auditor, at Customer's expense, to conduct such
audit.  Contractor shall cooperate with the audit initiated by Customer and
shall provide the information reasonably requested by Customer to verify its
compliance with paragraph (a) above, provided (i) Contractor shall only provide
such information, including pertinent financial information, to Customer's
designated external auditor and (ii) such external auditor shall execute a
confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to Contractor.

     (c)  In the event the external auditor determines that Contractor is
providing services to, or is performing work for, another customer that are
similar to the Work (in nature, scope, volume and duration) and the prices
charged for such services or work for the other customer are lower than the
prices charged to Customer hereunder, the external auditor shall provide notice,
in writing, to both Contractor and Customer of its determination and shall
include with such notice any supporting documentation of such pricing
discrepancy. Such documentation provided to Customer shall be sufficiently
redacted to conceal the identity of Contractor's other customer and shall only
include such information as is directly pertinent to the determination made by
the external auditor. Upon receipt of notice of such pricing discrepancy,
Contractor shall promptly implement the lower price adjustment and provide
Customer with appropriate credits in accordance with paragraph (a) above.

     6.2  Escrow Account and Payment.

     (a)  On or before [*****], Customer shall establish an interest-bearing
escrow account (the "Payment Escrow Account") with a bank or other financial
institution of Customer's choice, and Customer, Contractor and the agent (the
"Payment Escrow Agent") for the Payment Escrow Account shall enter into an

required to be deposited therein by Customer have been drawn down by Contractor,
(ii) termination of this Contract and payment of Customer's obligations
hereunder, or (iii) July 31, 2001. The costs of establishing and maintaining the
Payment Escrow Account shall be shared equally by the Parties. Customer shall be
entitled to retain all interest and income earned on amounts deposited into the
escrow account.

     (b)  Customer shall pay Contractor [*****] Milestone Payment No. 1 within
five (5) Business Days after the Execution Date provided Contractor first
furnishes Customer with an invoice therefor. Subject to Article 6.5 (Withholding
of Payment), with respect to [*****] Milestone Payment Nos. 2-5 set forth in
Table 3.1 of Exhibit C (Pricing, Milestones and Payment Plan) and [*****]
Milestone Payments 1-2 in Table 3.3 of Exhibit C, Customer shall pay Contractor
within thirty (30) Calendar Days after receipt from Contractor of an invoice in

receipt of an invoice (and required supporting documentation) meeting the
requirements of Article 6.1 (Invoicing) and, with respect to Accepted Repeaters,
Article 8.2 (Acceptance of Repeaters), Customer shall authorize the Payment
Escrow Agent to permit Contractor to draw down from the Payment Escrow Account
the amount invoiced. With respect to invoices for any other charges hereunder,
Customer shall pay Contractor within thirty (30) Calendar Days after receipt
from Contractor of an invoice in accordance with the requirements of Article 6.1
(Invoicing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments made under the
Authorization to Proceed (ATP), executed by the Parties and dated October 22,
1999, shall be credited in full against the Milestone Payments set forth in
Exhibit C (Pricing, Milestones and Payment Plan) until such ATP payments have
been exhausted. Contractor may deliver its invoices and supporting documentation
to Customer via facsimile.

     (c)  To secure Contractor's interest in Customer's payment of its
obligations hereunder, Customer hereby grants to Contractor a security interest,
which Customer represents and warrants is and shall at all times be a first
priority security interest, in Customer's right, title and interest in and to
amounts deposited by Customer into the Payment Escrow Account (but not interest
or income thereon). Customer hereby agrees to take, at Contractor's expense, all
such actions as may be reasonably requested by Contractor to create, perfect,
maintain and preserve

hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this paragraph constitute
a security agreement under the provisions of the uniform commercial code in
effect in the jurisdiction applicable to this transaction pursuant to which
Customer has granted a security interest in the Payment Escrow Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor agrees that any security interest
granted hereunder shall be structured in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the
Financing Entities.

     (d)  Customer shall make, or shall instruct the Payment Escrow Agent to
make, as applicable, payments on account of invoices by wire transfer to the
following bank account (or to such other account as Contractor shall request by
written instruction to Customer signed by Contractor's Chief Executive Officer
or President):

     (e)  No payment by Customer shall constitute an Acceptance of any Work not

for payment to a Subcontractor. Contractor shall pay each Subcontractor all
undisputed amounts in accordance with the applicable Subcontract.

Contractor.

invoice is otherwise inaccurate, (i) Customer shall pay or authorize payment of,
as the case may be, the undisputed part of such invoice in the time period
required by this Contract and (ii) Customer shall have the right to withhold
payment or authorization of payment, as the case may be, of the disputed portion
of such invoice provided Customer gives to Contractor written notice stating in
reasonable detail the reason for withholding such amount within ten (10)
Business Days after receipt by Customer of the applicable invoice.  Upon receipt
of such notice, the Parties shall initiate Dispute Resolution in accordance with
Article 23 (Dispute Resolution).

7.   DELIVERY AND TIME FOR PERFORMANCE

     7.1  Repeater Category Selection.

     (a)  On or before [*****], Customer shall provide to Contractor, in
writing, a baseline estimate of the distribution of the Nominal Order over the
four (4) categories of Repeaters (i.e., an estimate of how many of the total
number of Standard Repeaters will be Standard Non-Redundant Repeaters and
Standard Sectored Non-Redundant Repeaters and an estimate of how many of the
total number of High-Power Repeaters will be High-Power Redundant Repeaters and
High-Power Sectored Redundant Repeaters) (the "Initial Baseline Estimate").

     (b)  On or before [*****], Customer shall provide to Contractor, in
writing, an update of the Initial Baseline Estimate, which updated Initial
Baseline Estimate will reflect the definitive distribution of the Nominal Order
over the four (4) categories of Repeaters (the "Definitive Baseline Estimate").
For each category of Repeater, the Definitive Baseline Estimate may differ from
the Initial Baseline Estimate by up to plus or minus [*****]. By way of
illustration and as an example only, if the Initial Baseline Estimate requires
Contractor to manufacture and deliver [*****] Standard Sectored Non-Redundant
Repeaters, Customer may increase or decrease that estimate in the Definitive
Baseline Estimate by up to [*****], such that the Definitive Baseline Estimate
may range from and including [*****] to and including [*****] Standard Sectored
Non-Redundant Repeaters.

     7.2  Time and Place of Delivery.

     (a)  Set forth in Exhibit D (Delivery Requirements and Schedule) are
Customer's Delivery Requirements. The Parties acknowledge that as of the
Effective Date of Contract, however, Customer is unable to establish a detailed
Delivery Schedule for the Enclosure Kits that specifies the timing, quantity and
type of Enclosure Kits to be delivered to each Staging Area in the case of
Standard Repeaters and Installation Sites in the case of High-Power Repeaters.
Accordingly, the Parties are attaching to Exhibit D (Delivery Requirements and
Schedule) a model Delivery Schedule, which model Delivery Schedule shall be
completed and updated from time to time as Customer is able to refine its
Enclosure Kit delivery requirements. As Customer completes and updates the model
Delivery Schedule, it shall provide a copy to Contractor and each such completed
and updated Delivery Schedule shall be called the Detailed Delivery Schedule, be
added to Exhibit D and become a part of and modify this Contract; provided,
however, (i) except as expressly provided in this Contract, including Article
7.3 (Rescheduling of Production), for each month, the total number of Enclosure
Kits to be delivered in such month shall not exceed the total quantity of
Enclosure Kits set forth in the Delivery Requirements for such month and (ii) in
no month will the total number of Enclosure Kits for Standard Sectored Non-
Redundant Repeaters and Enclosure Kits for High-Power Sectored Redundant
Repeaters included in Customer's Monthly Delivery Notice (as defined in
paragraph (b) below) to

Contractor exceed in the aggregate [*****] for such month ((i) and (ii) together
the "Delivery Schedule Restrictions").  With respect to any calendar month, the
Detailed Delivery Schedule shall apply to that month provided Customer furnished
the Detailed Delivery Schedule to Contractor not less than thirty (30) Calendar
Days prior to the beginning of such month.

     (b)  Unless and until a Detailed Delivery Schedule is established with
respect to the Nominal Order, Customer shall provide prior written notice to
Contractor of not less than thirty (30) Calendar Days prior to the beginning of
each month in which Enclosure Kits are to be delivered by Contractor pursuant to
this Contract (each a "Monthly Delivery Notice"). Such notice shall specify the
quantity of Enclosure Kits to be delivered to each of the specified Staging
Areas in the case of Standard Repeaters and Installation Sites in the case of
High-Power Repeaters in such month; provided, however, the notice shall comply
with the Delivery Schedule Restrictions set forth in paragraph (a) above.

     (c)  Contractor shall use its best commercial efforts to deliver the
Enclosure Kits in accordance with the Delivery Requirements set forth in Exhibit
D (Delivery Requirements and Schedule) and, as applicable, the Detailed Delivery
Schedule and each Monthly Delivery Notice provided by Customer pursuant to
paragraph (b) above. In the case of Standard Repeaters, Contractor shall deliver
the PA Kits in accordance with Article 2.3(d) above and in accordance with the
Delivery Requirements set forth in Exhibit D (Delivery Requirements and
Schedule). In the case of High-Power Repeaters, within thirty (30) Calendar Days
after receipt of the Detailed Delivery Schedule or Monthly Delivery Notice
provided by Customer pursuant to paragraph (b) above, Contractor shall (i) ship
to, and install at, the Installation Sites identified in such schedule or notice
the Enclosure Kit and Klystron Kit and (ii) successfully complete High-Power
Installation Site Testing of the complete High-Power Repeater installed at such
Installation Sites. Contractor shall deliver the Network Management System and
other deliverables to be provided pursuant to this Contract in accordance with
the Delivery Requirements set forth in Exhibit D (Delivery Requirements and
Schedule). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the delivery times set forth
in Exhibit D (Delivery Requirements and Schedule), as may be amended, are firm
and time is of the essence.

     (d)  In the event Contractor is prepared to deliver Enclosure Kits earlier
than required by the Delivery Requirements set forth in Exhibit D (Delivery
Requirements and Schedule) or, as applicable, the Detailed Delivery Schedule or
a Monthly Delivery Notice, Contractor shall promptly provide prior notice to
Customer as to the quantity of Enclosure Kits available for early delivery by
Contractor and the proposed delivery dates therefor. Customer shall, within five
(5) Business Days following receipt of Contractor's notice, provide written
notice to Contractor of Customer's agreement with or rejection of the early
delivery of such Enclosure Kits, which agreement or rejection shall be in
Customer's sole discretion. If Customer agrees to accept early delivery of such
Enclosure Kits, Customer shall also specify in its notice to Contractor the
Staging Area(s) and Installation Site(s) to which such Enclosure Kits should be
delivered.

Staging Area as specified in the Detailed Delivery Schedule or each Monthly
Delivery Notice, as applicable, and in the case of High-Power Repeaters, to the

Delivery Notice, as applicable.  Contractor shall deliver the PA Kits to each of
the Installation Sites as specified in Customer's notice as provided in Article
2.3(d). Contractor shall deliver the Klystron Kits as set forth in paragraph (c)
above.  Contractor shall deliver all other deliverables to the persons and at
the address indicated in Article 28.8 (Notices), except as may otherwise be
required and directed by Customer or specified in the Detailed Delivery
Schedule.

     7.3  Rescheduling of Production.

     (a)  Subject to paragraph (c) below and also in recognition of the
potential for changes in Customer's business or logistical requirements,
Contractor agrees to accommodate a rescheduling of the Start of Production Date
for the Nominal Order of Repeaters to allow for a delay of the start of
production of the Repeaters and an extension of the Start of Production Date for
a period, at Customer's election, of one (1) to three (3) months, provided:

          (1)  Customer provides Contractor with prior written notice of its
               desire to delay the Start of Production Date, such notice to be
               given by no later than [*****]; and

          (2)  Customer takes delivery of the entire Nominal Order by no later
               than the last day of the [*****] month following the original
               Start of Production Date.

     (b)  Subject to paragraph (c) below, upon thirty (30) Calendar Days prior
notice, Customer may direct Contractor to defer delivery of up to [*****] of the
total number of Repeaters to be delivered in any month during the Term, provided
that Customer agrees to take delivery of such deferred Repeaters by no later
than the last day of the [*****] month following the Start of Production Date.

     (c)  Contractor shall in no event be required to manufacture or deliver to
Customer in excess of [*****] Repeaters in any month during the Term of this
Contract.

     (d)  In the event Customer exercises its right under this Article 7.3
(Rescheduling of Production) to delay the Start of Production Date, the
applicable delivery dates hereunder and dates of Key Tasks shall be adjusted on
a day-for-day basis, and the date of July 31, 2001 set forth in paragraphs (a)
and (c) of Article 0 (Escrow Account and Payment) shall be adjusted on a day-
for-day basis.

     7.4  Packing, Tracking and Shipping.

               serial numbers consistent with the Parties' business requirements
               and asset tracking practices.  Contractor shall label each
               Repeater and LRU, container and packing documentation in
               accordance with such requirements and procedures.

          (2)  Contractor shall notify Customer at least thirty (30) Calendar
               Days in advance of any administrative changes with respect to any
               Repeater or LRU, such as changes in product part numbers or

               compatible or substitute components.

     (c)  Shipping.  Unless otherwise instructed by Customer, Contractor shall:
          --------

          (1)  Arrange for the transportation and shipment of the Repeaters and

     7.5  Liquidated Damages for Late Delivery of Repeaters.

     (a)  The Parties acknowledge and agree that failure to meet the Liquidated
Damages Schedule, as defined and set forth below, on or before the last day of
the month in which delivery of Enclosure Kits is required pursuant to that
Schedule will cause substantial financial loss to, or damage sustained by,
Customer.  The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the following
liquidated damages are believed to represent a genuine estimate of the loss (due
to non-productive time and increased cost of money) that would be suffered by
Customer by reason of any such delay (which losses are difficult or impossible
to calculate with reasonable certainty).

     (b)  Notwithstanding the Delivery Requirements set forth in Exhibit D
(Delivery Requirements and Schedule) and for purposes of calculating liquidated
damages only, in the event the sum of Enclosure Kits for Standard Repeaters
Contractor delivers to Staging Areas plus Enclosure Kits with Klystron Kits for
High-Power Repeaters Contractor ships to Installation Sites is less than the
total number required by the monthly schedule set forth below (the "Liquidated
Damages Schedule"), then, for each such Enclosure Kit in the case of Standard
Repeaters and Enclosure Kit together with Klystron Kit in the case of High-Power
Repeaters not so delivered or shipped, as applicable, Contractor shall pay
Customer, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the daily amounts set
forth in the Liquidated Damages Schedule for each Calendar Day following the
last day of the month in which such Enclosure Kit in the case of Standard
Repeaters and Enclosure Kit together with Klystron Kit in the case of High-Power
Repeaters was to be delivered or shipped, as applicable, in accordance with the
Liquidated Damages Schedule below until the date such Enclosure Kit in the case
of Standard Repeaters and Enclosure Kit together with Klystron Kit in the case
of High-Power Repeaters is delivered or shipped, as applicable.

               Technical Materials Escrow Agreement that Customer desires
               release of the Escrowed Materials from escrow upon the occurrence
               of that Release Condition, Escrow Agent shall deliver a notice to

               Arbitrator.  However, under no circumstance shall any person be
               appointed as Arbitrator of the Escrow Arbitration unless the
               person: (A) has not previously been engaged by Customer,

               to paragraph (c)(1) above, Contractor shall promptly, but in no
               event later than the third (3/rd/) Business Day following the
               date of receipt of such notice from its supplier or

     17.4 Inducements.

     Contractor represents and warrants that it has not violated any applicable
laws or regulations or any Customer policies of which Contractor has been given
notice regarding the offering of unlawful inducements in connection with this
Contract.  If at any time during the Term of this Contract, Customer determines
that the foregoing warranty is inaccurate, then, in addition to any other rights
Customer may have at law or in equity, Customer shall have the right to
terminate this Contract for cause without affording Contractor an opportunity to
cure.

     17.5 Viruses.

     Contractor represents and warrants that it shall use its best commercial
efforts to ensure that no Viruses are coded or introduced into the Work or in
any systems used to perform the Work.  Contractor agrees that, in the event a

     17.8 Compliance with Applicable Law.

     Contractor represents and warrants that it shall perform its obligations in
a manner that complies with all applicable Laws, including export, import and
foreign controls, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. Export
Administration Act, and requirements of the FCC (including RF human exposure
emission requirements and harmful interference standards), EPA, and OSHA, all as
may be amended from time to time.  If Contractor is charged with the failure to
comply with any of such laws, Contractor shall promptly notify Customer of such
charges in writing.

     17.9 Warranty Disclaimer.

     EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS CONTRACT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY
OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY OF
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY NON-INFRINGEMENT.

     17.10  Warranty Period.

     (a)  Subject to Article 17.11 (Remedies (Repeaters)) and Article 17.12

     17.11  Remedies (Repeaters).

     (a)  In the event a Repeater requires maintenance or repair, Customer, or
its designee(s), shall perform such maintenance or repair.

     (b)  Customer, or its designee(s), shall maintain, at the Regional
Inventory Storage Facilities, an inventory of the Lowest Replaceable Units with
respect to Repeaters, such inventory to be utilized by Customer, or its
designee(s), to maintain or repair Repeaters. Customer, or its designee(s),
shall be responsible, at Customer's expense, for returning to Contractor, in a
reasonably prompt manner, any defective LRU, provided that Contractor, at
Contractor's expense, shall provide Customer with all necessary and appropriate
packing and crating materials. In the event Contractor tests the returned LRU
and is able to demonstrate, to Customer's reasonable satisfaction, that the
returned LRU is in good working order in accordance with its specifications (or,
"no trouble found" ("NTF")), Customer shall pay Contractor the amount of [*****]
for each returned LRU demonstrated to be NTF and shall reimburse Contractor for
the actual costs incurred by Contractor with respect to the round-trip shipment
of the LRU, as established by supporting shipping invoices.

     (c)  During the Warranty Period for each Repeater (as such period may be
extended), Contractor shall provide the following items or perform the following
services at no additional charge to Customer:

          (1)  Training in accordance with Exhibit B (Statement of Work);

          (2)  Subject to paragraph (d) below, an initial written inventory plan
               for inventories of replacement LRUs to be maintained by Customer,
               or its designee(s), pursuant to paragraph (b) above.  Contractor
               shall propose such inventory plan to Customer on or before the
               ninetieth (90th) Calendar Day following EDC, and shall reasonably
               consider incorporating Customer's reasonable comments thereto.
               In no event shall Contractor's proposed inventory plan provide
               for a sparing level that is less than the preliminary sparing
               level set forth in Exhibit B (Statement of Work).  Such plan
               shall specify the total number of LRUs to be maintained in
               Customer's inventory of spare LRUs, which Customer shall
               reasonably allocate among each of its Regional Inventory Storage
               Facilities.  The total sparing level proposed by Contractor shall
               be sufficient so that appropriate LRUs are immediately available
               to Customer, or its designee, as they perform maintenance and
               repair on the Repeaters.  Such inventory plan shall also specify
               the environmental and maintenance requirements for the proper
               storage of such LRUs;

          (3)  Replacement LRUs as may be actually required by Customer to
               repair defective Repeaters, even if the number of LRUs provided
               by Contractor exceeds the sparing levels indicated in the
               inventory plan;

          (4)  Re-stock of the LRU inventory on an as-needed basis to maintain
               the sparing levels indicated in the inventory plan, as it may be
               updated from time to time;

                                                                    CONFIDENTIAL

     (5)  On-going consultation services and advice to Customer, or its
          designee(s), on the proper methods of performing maintenance and
          repair functions for the Repeaters, including telephonic trouble-
          shooting of defective units and, if necessary, on-site diagnostic and
          remedial services;

     (6)  Repair or disposal of a defective LRU returned to Contractor by
          Customer or its designee(s). If Contractor repairs the returned LRU
          such that the LRU performs in accordance with its applicable technical
          specifications, Contractor may use such repaired LRU for inventory re-
          stocking purposes; and

     (7)  Replacement of Repeaters, if it is reasonably determined by Customer,
          or its designee(s), after consultation with Contractor, that repair of
          a Repeater cannot be accomplished using the LRUs or other components
          or parts available at the Regional Inventory Storage Facility. In such
          event, Customer may, at its option:

               (i)   require Contractor to ship a replacement Repeater, at its
                     expense, within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of
                     notice of such determination so that the replacement
                     Repeater shall arrive at the interior of its designated
                     place of installation as soon as commercially practicable,
                     but in no event later than fourteen (14) Calendar Days
                     after the date of Customer's notice to Contractor; or

               (ii)  require Contractor to ship a replacement Repeater within
                     twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of notice of such
                     determination and use air shipment for delivery of such
                     replacement Repeater so that the replacement Repeater is
                     received by Customer as soon as commercially possible,
                     provided that Customer shall reimburse Contractor for the
                     incremental difference in the shipping charges incurred by
                     Contractor for air shipment over Contractor's reasonable
                     expenses for surface delivery; or

               (iii) assemble a complete Repeater using the LRU's in stock at
                     Customer's Regional Inventory Storage Facilities. Customer,
                     or its designee, shall install the replacement Repeater and
                     arrange for the return of the replaced Repeater to
                     Contractor, subject to reimbursement by Contractor to
                     Customer for the costs of shipping (including packing,
                     crating, shipping, transportation and insurance).

   (d) Following implementation of the inventory plan specified in paragraph
(c)(2) above, Customer may, from time to time, propose changes to the inventory
plan, provided such changes are based upon the actual failure rates experienced
with respect to Repeaters or LRUs.  Contractor shall revise the inventory plan
to incorporate and accommodate Customer's proposed reasonable changes and shall
promptly implement the revised inventory plan.   Similarly, following Customer's
initial allocation of spare LRUs among the Regional Inventory Storage
Facilities, Contractor may, from time to time, propose changes to the manner in
which Customer

allocates such spare LRUs, provided such proposed changes are based upon actual
LRU replacement requirements experienced with respect to the Repeaters. Customer
shall revise the method of allocating spare LRUs among the Regional Inventory
Storage Facilities to incorporate Contractor's proposed reasonable changes and
shall promptly implement the revised allocation scheme.

   (e)    Customer may, in addition to the remedies provided by Contractor
hereunder and at no additional charge to Customer,

          (1)  seek recourse pursuant to such other warranties as may be
               provided by the original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.),
               Subcontractors, or other warranties on any materials or equipment
               furnished by Contractor, all in accordance with the respective
               terms of such warranties; and

          (2)  request Contractor and/or its Subcontractors to provide, and
               Contractor shall provide, reasonable on-site support at
               Customer's facilities or other system-related sites as necessary
               to complete the Work ("Field Support"), including to assist
               Customer in the identification and remediation of significant
               systems engineering problems relating to the Work and with
               respect to installed Repeaters.

   17.12  Remedies (Network Management System).

   Contractor shall maintain, repair or replace the Network Management System
during the Warranty Period so that the Network Management System shall at all
times be fully operational in accordance with all applicable specifications and
warranties and available for use by Customer at all times.  If circumstances
arise where Contractor is unable to maintain or repair the NMS, or any part or
portion thereof, so that it operates in accordance with the above standard,
Contractor shall replace such item at Contractor's expense.   Subject to Article
14 (Intellectual Property Rights), Customer shall own any such replacement item.
For purposes hereof, Contractor shall be deemed to be unable to maintain or
repair the NMS, or any part or portion thereof, if it fails more than three (3)
times during any three (3) consecutive month period during the Warranty Period.

   17.13  Pattern Defect.

   (a) In addition to the other warranties and remedies set forth herein, in the
event that any LRU is determined to have a Pattern Defect during the applicable
Warranty Period, as may be extended, Contractor will promptly modify the design,
material and/or manufacturing process such that the Pattern Defect is eliminated
and deliver, at its expenses (including packing, crating, transportation,
shipping and insurance) replacements for all affected LRUs to eliminate such
Pattern Defect. During the period that any LRU is determined to have a Pattern
Defect, Contractor shall regularly advise Customer of the status of remedial
efforts being undertaken with respect to such problem. A "Pattern Defect" will
be determined to exist in any LRU when three percent (3%) or more of the total
number of Repeaters purchased hereunder experience failures with respect to such
LRUs within any rolling three (3) month period, due to the same Defect in
design, material or manufacturing process carried out by Contractor or its
Subcontractors

               the understanding that the liability

          (3)  Except in the case of Worker's Compensation Insurance, proceeds
               for first party losses, if any, shall be adjusted by and payable
               to the party purchasing the insurance, except property insurance
               purchased by Contractor for the benefit of Contractor,
               Subcontractors and Customer, which shall be adjusted with and
               payable to Contractor, Subcontractors and Customer, as their
               interest may appear.

          (4)  The insurer thereunder waives all rights of subrogation against
               Customer, its Affiliates and Associates, as well as any rights of

or based on allegations of any of the following:

     (a) any claims made by third parties for injury to person (including death)
or loss or damage to tangible property arising out of any error, omission or
negligent act of Customer; and

Property Right, alleged to have occurred because of systems, designs,
instructions, specifications or other resources provided by Customer directly or
indirectly to Contractor for incorporation into the Repeaters, Network
Management System or other deliverables; provided, however, Customer's total
liability to Contractor or any third party with respect to such indemnity shall
not, in the aggregate, exceed Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($7,500,000).

     21.3 Intellectual Property Infringement Indemnification.

     (a) Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from any
and all Losses arising from, in connection with, or based on any allegations
made by third parties (including Subcontractors of Contractor) that Customer's
possession or use of the Work, or any part thereof, infringes any third-party

to Customer or any third party with respect to such intellectual property

deliverable items furnished by Unique Broadband Systems pursuant to the Interim
Services Agreement with Customer, dated August 9, 1999; or (ii) modifications to

person other than Contractor or its Subcontractors unless otherwise directed by
Contractor or its Subcontractors; or (iii) Customer's use of the Work in
combination with items not provided by Contractor or its Subcontractors unless
such non-deliverables are identified in Exhibit A (Design Specifications) as
items with which the deliverables hereunder will be used in combination.

     (b)  If the use of the Work or any part thereof is enjoined, Contractor
shall, or, if in Contractor's reasonable opinion the Work or any part thereof is
likely to be enjoined, Contractor may, in either case at its expense, either
procure for Customer the right to use the Work or infringing part thereof, as
the case may be, or substitute an equivalent product reasonably acceptable to
Customer, or modify the Work or infringing part thereof to render them non-
infringing without materially affecting their utility or functionality. If
Contractor determines that none of these alternatives is reasonably available or
feasible, Contractor shall meet with Customer to address the matter and reach an
equitable solution reasonably acceptable to Customer.

     (c)  Contractor's obligations under this Article 21.3 (Intellectual
Property Infringement Indemnification) shall be subject to Article 21.4
(Indemnification Procedures).

     21.4 Indemnification Procedures.

     (a)  Promptly after receipt by the 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 pursuant to this Article 21
(Indemnification), the indemnified Party shall notify the indemnifying Party of
such claim in writing.  Failure to so notify the indemnifying Party shall not
relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Contract except to
the extent it can demonstrate it was prejudiced by such failure.  Within fifteen
(15) Calendar Days following receipt of written notice from the indemnified
Party relating to any claim, but no later than ten (10) Calendar Days before the
date on which any response to a complaint or summons is due, the indemnifying
Party shall notify the indemnified Party in writing if the indemnifying Party
elects to assume control of the defense or settlement of that claim (a "Notice
of Election").

     (b)  If the indemnifying Party delivers a Notice of Election relating to
any claim within the required notice period, so long as it is actively defending
such claim, the indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have sole control over
the defense and settlement of such claim; provided that (i) the indemnified
Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to
employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim; (ii)
where the indemnified Party is so represented, the indemnifying Party shall keep
the indemnified Party 's counsel informed of each step in the handling of any
such claim; (iii) the indemnified Party shall provide, at the indemnifying
Party's request and expense, such assistance and information as is available to
the indemnified Party for the defense and settlement of such claim; and (iv) 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. After the indemnifying Party has delivered a Notice of
Election relating to any claim in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the
indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the indemnified Party for any legal
expenses incurred by the indemnified Party in connection with the defense of
that claim; provided, however, the indemnifying Party shall be liable to the
indemnified Party for

                          Terms and Conditions                           Page 71

                                                                    CONFIDENTIAL

such legal expenses if the indemnified Party chooses to participate in the
defense and settlement of such claim because the indemnified Party reasonably
concluded that the indemnifying Party had a conflict of interest and could not
adequately represent the indemnified Party. In addition, the indemnifying Party
shall not be required to indemnify the indemnified Party for any amount paid or
payable by the indemnified Party in the settlement of any claim for which the
indemnifying Party has delivered a timely Notice of Election if such amount was
agreed to without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party.

     (c) If the indemnifying Party does not deliver a Notice of Election
relating to any claim within the required notice period or fails actively to
defend such claim, the indemnified Party shall have the right to defend and/or
settle the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and
expense of the indemnifying Party. Provided that the indemnified Party acts in
good faith, it may settle such claim on any terms it considers appropriate under
the circumstances without in any way affecting its right to be indemnified
hereunder. The indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the indemnified Party
for all such costs and expenses.

     21.5 Waiver of Subrogation.

     If a Party insures against any loss or damage it may suffer in respect of
which it is required to indemnify the other Party, its Affiliates and their
respective Associates pursuant to this Article 21 (Indemnification), it shall be
a condition that the insuring Party arrange for the insurer to waive its right
of subrogation against such other Party and such other Party's Affiliates and
their respective Associates.  Each Party shall be entitled to require proof from
time to time that the other Party has complied with its obligations under this
Article 215 (Waiver of Subrogation).  In the event a Party does not comply with
such obligations, the indemnities referred to in Articles 21.1 (Indemnity by
Contractor), 21.2 (Indemnity by Customer) and 21.3 (Intellectual Property
Infringement Indemnification) shall extend to any claim that may be made by an
insurer pursuant to an alleged right of subrogation.

     22.1 General Intent.

     Subject to the specific provisions of this Article 22 (Liability), it is
the intent of the Parties that each Party shall be liable to the other Party for
any actual damages incurred by the non-breaching Party as a result of the
breaching Party's failure to perform its obligations in the manner required by
this Contract.

23.  DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     Any dispute, claim, or controversy between the Parties arising out of or
relating to this Contract ("Dispute"), including any Dispute with respect to the
interpretation, performance, termination, or breach of this Contract or any
provision thereof shall be resolved as provided in this Article 23 (Dispute
Resolution).

     23.1 Informal Dispute Resolution.

     Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures, the
Parties shall first attempt to resolve their Dispute informally, in a timely and
cost-effective manner, as follows:

     (a) If, during the course of the Work, a Party believes it has a Dispute
with the other Party, the disputing Party shall give written notice thereof,
which notice will describe the Dispute and may recommend corrective action to be
taken by the other Party. Contractor's Project Manager shall promptly consult
with Customer's Project Manager in an effort to reach an agreement to resolve
the Dispute.

     (b) In the event agreement cannot be reached within five (5) Calendar Days
of receipt of written notice, either Party may request the Dispute be escalated,
and the respective positions of the Parties shall be forwarded to an executive
level higher than that under paragraph (a) above for resolution of the Dispute,
which in the case of Contractor, shall be the Contractor Business Line Manager
identified in Article 9.1 (Contractor Personnel) above.

     (c) In the event agreement cannot be reached under paragraphs (a) or (b)
above within a total of ten (10) Calendar Days after receipt of the written
notice described in paragraph (a) above, either Party may request the Dispute be
escalated, and the respective positions of the Parties shall be forwarded to the
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of each Party, and such executives shall meet (in
person or via telephone or video conference) during such time to resolve the
Dispute.

     (d) In the event agreement cannot be reached under paragraphs (a), (b) or
(c) above within a total of twenty (20) Calendar Days after receipt of the
written notice described in paragraph (a) above, either Party may proceed with
arbitration in accordance with Article 232 (Arbitration).

     23.2 Arbitration.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Article 23.1 (Informal Dispute Resolution)
and Article 23.3 (Litigation), any Dispute shall be resolved by mandatory and
binding arbitration in accordance with the then-effective Center for Public
Resources Rules for Nonadministered Arbitration of Business Disputes, as may be
amended from time to time (the "CPR Rules"), which are incorporated herein by
reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any provision of this
Article 23.2 (Arbitration) modifies, adds to, or is inconsistent with any
provision of the CPR Rules, the provisions of this Article shall control.

                                                                    CONFIDENTIAL

     (b)  The arbitration shall be conducted by a three-arbitrator tribunal (the
"Tribunal"). Within thirty (30) Calendar Days after the commencement of the
arbitration, each Party shall appoint one arbitrator, and those two arbitrators
shall together appoint the third arbitrator as provided in CPR Rule 5.2. Each
arbitrator appointed by the Parties shall be knowledgeable and experienced in
contracting for technical systems and shall have senior management and/or
legal/judicial experience.

     (c)  Unless otherwise limited by the Tribunal or the agreement of the
Parties, the Parties shall be permitted to take discovery, if and as needed, by
deposition upon oral examination, requests for production of documents and
things, and requests for entry upon land for inspection and other purposes, as
those discovery methods are described and defined in the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure; provided, however, that any limitations in the Federal Rules on the
number, timing, or sequence of such discovery requests shall not apply. The
scope of permissible discovery shall generally be as described in Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure Rule 26(b)(1), but the Parties shall use their best efforts
to focus and limit their discovery in accordance with the nature of the dispute
and the need for expedited resolution. The Tribunal may expand or limit the
scope of permissible discovery, establish the time period within which discovery
responses must be served, and expand or limit the type and number of discovery
methods and requests as it shall determine is appropriate in the circumstances,
taking into account the needs of the Parties and the desirability of making
discovery expeditious and cost-effective. The Tribunal may issue orders to
protect the confidentiality of proprietary information, trade secrets, and other
similar information disclosed in discovery and may order that discovery not be
had or that discovery may be had only on specific terms and conditions.

     (d)  Time is of the essence in the initiation and completion of the
arbitration. The arbitral hearing shall be commenced and conducted
expeditiously. Unless the Tribunal orders otherwise, the Dispute should be
submitted to the Tribunal for decision within three (3) months after the
commencement of the arbitration, and the final award shall be rendered within
one (1) month thereafter. The Parties and the Tribunal shall use their best
efforts to comply with this schedule, and the Tribunal may impose any remedy it
deems just for any Party's effort to unnecessarily delay, complicate or hinder
the proceedings.

     (e)  The arbitration shall be held in Washington, D.C., USA.

     (f)  Any arbitration proceeding held pursuant to this Article shall be
governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1 et seq., and
judgment upon the award rendered by the Tribunal may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof.

     (g)  The Tribunal's award may grant any remedy or relief that the Tribunal
deems just and equitable and within the scope of this Contract, including
specific performance or other equitable relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Tribunal shall have no power or authority to amend or disregard any
provision of this Article 23.2 (Arbitration) or any other provision of this
Contract; in particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Tribunal shall not have the power or authority to exclude the right of a
Party to terminate this Contract when a Party would otherwise have such right.
The Tribunal also shall have no power or authority to award punitive or
exemplary damages to any Party.

                                                                    CONFIDENTIAL

     (h)  The non-prevailing Party, as determined by the Tribunal, shall pay the
costs of the arbitration and the prevailing Party's fees and expenses incurred
with respect to the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys' fees as
determined by the Tribunal. In the event of an arbitration involving multiple
claims with different Parties prevailing on each claim, the Tribunal shall
apportion the expenses and fees between or among the Parties in such manner as
it deems reasonable, taking into account the circumstances of the case, the
nature of the claims, and the result of the arbitration.

     (i)  At any time more than ten (10) Calendar Days before the commencement
of the hearing, any Party defending against any claim may serve upon the adverse
Party an offer to allow an award to be entered against the defending Party on
any claim for the money or property or to the effect specified in the offer. If
within ten (10) Calendar Days after the service of the offer, the adverse Party
serves written notice that it accepts the offer, either Party may file the offer
and acceptance with the Tribunal, which will thereupon promptly enter an award
on the claim as provided in the offer. An offer not accepted shall be deemed
withdrawn and shall not be admissible into evidence except with respect to a
determination of fees and expenses. If the award finally made on the claim is
not equal to or more favorable than the offer, then for the purpose of
apportioning expenses and fees pursuant to this Article 23.2 (Arbitration), the
Party making the offer shall be deemed the Prevailing Party with respect to such
claim.

     (j)  If at the time any Dispute arises, the Center for Public Resources no
longer provides rules or services with respect to the arbitration of business
disputes, then the Parties hereto agree that the arbitration shall be conducted
before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Such arbitration shall be
conducted pursuant to the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules then effective,
provided, however, that in the event of any inconsistency with the AAA rules and
this Article, the provisions of this Article shall control.

     23.3    Litigation.

     (a)  Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 23.1 (Informal Dispute
Resolution) and Article 23.2 (Arbitration) above, if the Dispute requires that
immediate equitable relief or relief in aid of arbitration be obtained, either
Party shall have the right to bring suit at any time to obtain preliminary or
temporary injunctive relief, including specific performance, but requests for
permanent injunctive relief shall be arbitrated pursuant to Article 23.2
(Arbitration).

          (1)  Any such suit shall be brought in a court of competent
               jurisdiction in the State of Delaware and the Parties hereby
               waive any objection to venue in such court. The Parties hereby
               irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and
               federal courts in the State of Delaware concerning any Dispute
               between the Parties. If, for any reason, the state and federal
               courts of Delaware do not have or refuse to exercise jurisdiction
               over the Dispute, then litigation as permitted herein may be
               brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United
               States of America, or if there is no such court, in any other
               nation.

          (2)  In the event a Party files a lawsuit pursuant to this Article
               23.3 (Litigation), the Prevailing Party is entitled to an award
               of its costs and fees, including

                             Terms and Conditions                        Page 77

                                                                    CONFIDENTIAL

               reasonable attorney's fees, incurred with respect to the lawsuit.
               The defendant in such litigation shall be regarded as the
               Prevailing Party if either the court denies the equitable relief
               sought on the merits or the court otherwise decides that
               equitable relief is not warranted or the matter should be
               resolved by arbitration.

     (b)  In the event an entity or person not subject to the provisions of this
Article 23 (Dispute Resolution) commences any litigation or proceeding against
any Party hereto in which the other Party hereto is an indispensable party, the
Party against which the litigation or proceeding is brought may join or attempt
to join the other Party in such litigation or proceeding notwithstanding the
provisions of Article 23.2 (Arbitration). For the purposes of this provision,
the other Party is an indispensable party in the lawsuit or proceeding if (i) in
its absence, complete relief could not be accorded among those already a party
to the lawsuit or proceeding; (ii) its absence may as a practical matter impair
or impede its ability to protect its interests relating to the subject of the
lawsuit or proceeding; or (iii) its absence may leave the Party against which
the litigation or proceeding is brought subject to a substantial risk of
incurring double, multiple, or otherwise inconsistent obligations by reason of
the interest of the other Party relating to the subject of the lawsuit or
proceeding.

     (c)  Nothing in this Contract precludes a Party prevailing on any claim,
whether in arbitration or litigation, from initiating litigation in any
appropriate forum to enter or enforce a judgment based on the Tribunal's or
court's award on that claim.

     23.4    Continued Performance.

     Pending final resolution of any Dispute, each Party shall, unless directed
otherwise by the other Party in writing, fulfill all of its obligations under
this Contract, including the obligation to take all steps necessary during the
pendency of the Dispute to ensure the Work will be performed within the time
stipulated or within such extended time as may be allowed under this Contract,
provided Customer shall continue to make payments of undisputed sums therefore
in accordance with this Contract (including the dispute resolution provisions
hereof).

24.  DEFAULT AND CORRECTION PLAN

     24.1    Material Breach.

     (a)  In the event Contractor fails to complete a Key Task on or before the
date identified or referenced in Article 0 (Key Tasks) or fails to perform a
material obligation hereunder (in either case a "Failure"), Customer shall be
entitled to deliver to Contractor a written demand that it correct such Failure.
Contractor shall acknowledge receipt of Customer's demand within one (1)
Business Day and shall submit to Customer, for Customer's review, comment and
approval, a Correction Plan within ten (10) Business Days after the date of
Customer's demand (or such longer time as Customer may establish, including as a
result of Contractor's reasonable request for an extension of time to provide a
Correction Plan).

     (b)  If the Correction Plan does not set forth a reasonable manner in
which, or reasonable date by which, Contractor will correct or offset the
Failure, Customer may reject the Correction Plan upon written notice to
Contractor, which notice shall include, in reasonable detail, the deficiencies
in the Correction Plan noted by Customer, and other relevant comments.
Contractor shall revise the Correction Plan, including by incorporating
Customer's reasonable comments, and shall re-submit the revised Correction Plan
to Customer for its approval within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of
Customer's comments. This process may be repeated until such time as Contractor
provides a Correction Plan acceptable to Customer.

     (c)  If Customer approves the Correction Plan (or revision thereof) or does
not reject the Correction Plan (or revision thereof) within thirty (30) Calendar
Days after receipt thereof, this Contract shall be deemed modified in accordance
with the Correction Plan (or revision thereof) and the Failure shall be deemed
cured so long as Contractor complies with the terms of such Correction Plan (or
revision thereof). Nothing herein shall be construed to release Contractor from
its obligation to make liquidated damages payments as applicable in accordance
with Article 7.5 (Liquidated Damages for Late Delivery of Repeaters).

     (d)  In the event Contractor does not submit a Correction Plan to Customer
within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of a demand therefor, or if
Contractor fails to submit a revised Correction Plan within seven (7) Business
Days after receipt of Customer's notice of rejection of the original Correction
Plan, or if Contractor fails to provide an acceptable Correction Plan within
three (3) iterations thereof (including the first draft), or if Contractor fails
to complete the Customer-approved Correction Plan within thirty (30) Calendar
Days after Customer's approval of the Correction Plan (or such period as
otherwise specified in the Correction Plan), Customer shall be entitled to
terminate this Contract in accordance with the provisions of Article 25.2
(Termination for Contractor's Default).

          (5)  take such action as may be reasonably necessary, or as Customer
               may direct, for the protection and preservation of the property
               related to this Contract that is in the possession of Contractor
               or any Subcontractor and in which Customer has or may acquire an

Calendar Days after the effective date of termination specified in the notice

receipt of the invoice. Payment of such amount by any Financing Entity on behalf
of Customer shall relieve Customer from its obligation to make such payment.

     (h)  Payment of the amount payable by Customer to Contractor pursuant to

               assume or reject this Contract within forty-five (45) Calendar
               Days after the entry of any order for relief; or

          (7)  Contractor has purported to assign or transfer this Contract in
               violation of the provisions of Article 28.1 (Assignment) and

pursuant to Article 7.5 (Liquidated Damages for Late Delivery of Repeaters), and
(ii) Customer shall be liable to Contractor for unpaid amounts invoiced

               paragraph (c) below; and

          (5)  take such action as may be reasonably necessary, for the

               the Installation Sites (including packing, crating, shipping,
               handling, and insurance therefor);

         (7)   training as set forth in Exhibit B (Statement of Work);

         (8)   Data and Documentation;

         (9)   warranty coverage during the applicable Warranty Periods

               proper provision and performance of the Work.

     (c) As set forth in paragraph (b) above, the Contract Price includes
charges related to the shipping of the Repeaters. Such charges are based upon
the following estimation: approximately [*****] of the Repeaters will be
delivered to the Eastern region of the United States, [*****] of the Repeaters
will be delivered to the Central region of the United States, and the remaining
[*****] of the Repeaters will be delivered to the Western region of the United
States. Customer may, at its option, elect to alter this allocation of delivery
of the Repeaters among the Eastern, Central and Western regions of the United
States without any impact to the per unit Repeater pricing set forth in Table
2.2 above; provided, however, if Customer requires a substantial change to these
delivery projections (i.e., [*****] or more change in the allocation of
Repeaters within the Eastern, Central and Western regions), Contractor and
Customer shall negotiate in good faith an equitable adjustment (either up or
down) to the component of the Contract Price allocable to shipping charges,
depending upon the net impact of the directed change. In order to validate any
adjustment to the portion of the Contract Price allocable to shipping,
Contractor shall provide Customer with access to all pertinent shipping
documentation and invoices, including such information utilized by Contractor in
formulating the initial charge for shipping expenses, and Customer may review
and audit such documentation.

     (d) In the event the Nominal Order is decreased or increased by Customer in
accordance with the Terms and Conditions, then the firm fixed prices for each
category of Repeater set forth in Table 2.2 shall be adjusted as follows:

         (1)   the amount of [*****] shall be deducted from the per unit prices
               for each category of Repeater (such sum represents the amount of
               [*****] Milestone Payment No. 1 (i.e., [*****] of [*****])
               amortized over the Nominal Order of Repeaters (i.e., 1578
               Repeaters); and

         (2)   the amount of Milestone Payment No. 1 (i.e., [*****]) shall then
               be amortized over the revised Nominal Order proportionately
               (i.e., [*****] divided by the number of Repeaters in the revised
               Nominal

               Order), which amount will then be added to the per unit price for
               each Repeater (as reduced per paragraph (d)(1) above) and Table
               2.2 shall be updated accordingly.

     (e) In the event Customer requires Field Support following completion of
the Work or Field Support that is materially unrelated to the Work, Contractor
shall, upon Customer's request, provide such additional Field Support at the
rate of [*****] per day for each Contractor or Subcontractor technical support
personnel assigned to perform the Field Support. Customer shall pay such daily
rate and shall reimburse Contractor, at cost and without a mark-up, for the
direct reasonable expenses incurred by such personnel in performing additional
Field Support. Charges for additional Field Support shall be invoiced by
Contractor in accordance with the Terms and Conditions and shall be accompanied
by supporting documentation concerning the direct expenses (i.e., receipts).

     2.3 Network Management System.

     Customer shall pay Contractor a not to exceed price of [*****] for the Work
related to the design, development, construction, delivery and installation of
the Network Management System, including the provision of the NMS
servers/computers and other equipment, and operator training, as such Work is
more fully described in the Contract. Contractor shall propose a firm fixed
price for the NMS on or before [*****].

3.   Milestone Payment Plan and MIlestone Achievement Criteria

     3.1 [*****] Milestones.

     (a) The Contract Price with respect to the [*****] for Repeaters shall be
earned by Contractor in installments based upon Contractor's satisfactory
completion of the [*****] Milestones set forth in Table 3.1 below in accordance
with the corresponding Milestone Achievement Criteria. Completed [*****]

     (b) With respect to [*****] Milestone Nos. 2, 3 and 5, the Milestone
Achievement Criteria shall be deemed to be achieved by Contractor upon
Contractor's delivery to Customer of Contractor's written certification that the
Milestone has been achieved, such certification to be accompanied by copies of
Contractor's purchase orders issued with respect to such Milestones (with
financial information redacted). The certification shall show the applicable
purchase order numbers, supplier names, quantity of material released in such
purchase orders, and quantity of Repeater units that such ordered materials
represent. Upon Customer's reasonable request, Contractor shall provide Customer

amount of [*****] shall be given toward the price of each Repeater. The credit
shall appear on the applicable invoices as follows: [*****] for each shipped
Enclosure Kit and [*****] for each Accepted Repeater.

     (d) In the event the Nominal Order is increased or decreased by Customer in
accordance with the Terms and Conditions, the Parties shall calculate a revised
credit amount with respect to each Repeater, such credit equal to the quotient
of the total amount of [*****] Milestone Payment Nos. 1-5 (i.e., [*****])
divided by the number of Repeaters in the revised Nominal Order. Such revised
credit shall be applied to the applicable invoices as follows: [*****] for each
shipped Enclosure Kit and [*****] for each Accepted Repeater.

     3.2 Production Milestones.

     (a) The Contract Price with respect to production and Acceptance of
Repeaters shall be earned by Contractor in installments based upon Contractor's
satisfactory completion of the [*****] Milestones set forth in Table 3.2 below

     3.4 Escrow Account and Payment.

     (a) Set forth below is a schedule of payments to be made by Customer into
the Payment Escrow Account to be established, maintained and terminated pursuant
to Article 6.2 (Escrow Account and Payment) of the Terms and Conditions. With
respect to Escrow Payment Nos. 1-6 in Table 3.4, Customer shall make the
applicable payment into such account on or before ten (10) Business Days
following the date upon which Contractor furnishes Customer with an aged
materials report showing that Contractor has ordered the supplies required by
the applicable event in Table 3.4, but in no event earlier than the earliest
date of payment identified in Table 3.4. In the event the aged materials report
shows that Contractor has ordered less than the amount required for that event,
the amount Customer is required to pay into the Payment Escrow Account shall be
proportionately reduced. With respect to Escrow Payment Nos. 7-11 in Table 3.4,
Customer shall make the applicable payment into the Payment Escrow Account on or
before ten (10) Business Days following the date upon which Contractor furnishes
Customer with a report showing the cumulative number of Enclosure Kits shipped
by Contractor and received at the Staging Areas in the case of Standard
Repeaters and Installation Sites in the case of High-Power Repeaters, but in no
event earlier than the earliest date of payment identified in Table 3.4. In the
event the report shows that fewer Enclosure Kits have been received at the
Staging Areas/Installation Sites than the amount required for that event, the
amount Customer is required to pay into the Payment Escrow

          (b) In the event the per unit price of Repeaters set forth in Section
     2.2 (Repeater Unit Pricing) above is increased, then the schedule of escrow
     payments set forth in Table 3.4 above shall be increased as follows: the
     increase in the Contract Price resulting from the increase in the per unit
     price of Repeaters shall be spread proportionately over those payments of
     Escrow Payment Nos. 7-11 remaining to be paid by Customer and the amount of
     such payments shall be increased by the applicable proportion of the
     increase in the Contract Price. Likewise, in the event the per unit price
     of Repeaters set forth in Section 2.2 (Repeater Unit Pricing) above is
     decreased, then the schedule of escrow payments set forth in Table 3.4
     above shall be decreased as follows: the decrease in the Contract Price
     resulting from the decrease in the per unit price of Repeaters shall be
     spread proportionately over those payments of Escrow Payment Nos. 7-11
     remaining to be paid by Customer and the amount of such payments shall be
     decreased by the applicable proportion of the decrease in the Contract
     Price.

          (c) The Parties agree that the schedule of payments set forth in Table
     3.4 above shall be adjusted on account of sales taxes as follows. Within
     ten (10) Business Days following the end of each month, Contractor will
     furnish Customer with a report setting forth the sales taxes applicable for
     Repeaters shipped during the month just ended. Customer will deposit an
     amount equal to such sales taxes into the Payment Escrow Account with the
     next Escrow Payment due, except in the case of Escrow Payment No. 10,
     within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of Contractor's report.
     Customer will assist Contractor in identifying the ultimate destination of
     the Repeaters on a weekly basis.

     4.   OPTION PRICING

          4.1 Pricing for Optional Repeaters.

          In the event Customer exercises its option to purchase additional
     Repeaters in accordance with Article 26 (Options) of the Terms and
     Conditions, the following pricing terms shall apply to such optional
     Repeaters:

              Exhibit C - Pricing, Milestones and Payment Plan            Page 9
<PAGE>

                                                                    CONFIDENTIAL

***** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions.

     (a) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (e) below, the firm fixed price per
Repeater as set forth in Section 2.1(b) (Repeater Unit Pricing) above shall
apply with respect to any Customer order for optional Repeaters, provided such
order complies with the following requirements:

         (1)   Customer orders such optional Repeaters prior to [*****] (the
               "Initial Option Period"); and

         (2)   each order for optional Repeaters is for at least [*****]
               Repeaters.

     (b) Contractor requires an adequate minimum Repeater production order for
each month following the Project Completion Date to assure a continuous supply
from Subcontractors of LRUs and other Repeater components, parts and subparts.
Accordingly, on a monthly basis beginning March 2000, Contractor will advise
Customer as to the minimum monthly Repeater production rates required to
maintain the Repeater manufacturing facilities on-line to accommodate Customer's
future orders of optional additional Repeaters (if any) without incurring
additional production costs. The minimum monthly production requirement will be
subject to mutual agreement by the Parties (which agreement shall not be
unreasonably withheld), but in no event will the minimum monthly production
requirement exceed [*****] Standard Repeaters per month. If a follow-on order
falls below the minimum monthly production requirement, Contractor will provide
Customer with proof of additional production costs (if any) relating to such
smaller order and the Parties will negotiate an equitable adjustment to the per
unit prices set forth in Table 2.2 to account for such additional costs.

     (c) Contractor will use best commercial efforts to minimize any price
increase for Customer orders of less than [*****] optional Repeaters.

     (d) In the event Customer orders optional Repeaters before the expiration
of the Repeater Option Period, but after the last day of the Initial Option
Period, Contractor shall use its best commercial efforts to propose the lowest
price possible for such optional additional Repeaters.

     (e) As part of the initial procurement of LRUs and other Repeater
components, parts or sub-parts to be used with respect to the Nominal Order,
Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate competitive
pricing terms and price protection on LRUs, components, parts and sub-parts with
its suppliers and Subcontractors, such competitive pricing terms or price
protections to apply, to the degree commercially reasonable, to subsequent
orders of optional Repeaters. Such competitive pricing terms shall include a
mechanism to limit the amount of any price increases in such LRUs, components,
parts or sub-parts from year to year following the Project Completion Date, such
mechanism to apply a commercially reasonable and appropriate economic index or
cost-of-living adjustment index to be determined by

Contractor and its suppliers and Subcontractors. In any event, if a cost
increase occurs with respect to any order for optional Repeaters, the option
price for such optional Repeaters will be adjusted on a dollar-for-dollar basis
to account for increases in the costs of the LRUs, components, parts and sub-
parts. Customer will have the right to review all supplier and Subcontractor
documentation connected with any change to the Repeater unit prices set forth
herein with respect to any Customer order for optional Repeaters.

     4.2 NMS Video Wall.

     If Customer elects, at its sole discretion, to exercise the option set
forth in Article 26 (Options) of the Terms and Conditions to purchase the full-
motion "video wall" for use in conjunction with the Network Management System,
Contractor agrees to provide the optional "video wall" to Customer for a not to
exceed price of [*****], which firm fixed price includes design, development,
manufacture, delivery, installation, insurance and warranty coverage for such
optional video wall. Contractor shall propose to Customer a firm fixed price on
or before [*****].

     4.3 Extended Warranty on Repeaters.

     In the event Customer elects to exercise its option, pursuant to Article
17.10(b) of the Terms and Conditions, to extend the applicable Warranty Period
for any Repeater, Customer shall pay Contractor the amount of [*****] Dollars
for each Repeater for the [*****] month optional extended Warranty Period.

     WHEREAS, pursuant to said Contract, Contractor has agreed to deposit in
escrow the Technical Materials, as defined and more specifically set forth in
the Contract, which are proprietary to Contractor (except as otherwise expressly
set forth in the Contract) ; and

The parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Definitions. Other than those terms defined herein, the defined terms
     -----------
     (initial caps) used herein have the same meanings as set forth in the
     Contract.

2.   Deposit Account. Following the execution and delivery of this Escrow
     ---------------
     Agreement and the payment of the set-up and deposit account fees to DSI,
     Contractor, XM and DSI shall open a deposit account ("Deposit Account").
     The opening of the Deposit Account means that DSI shall establish an
     account ledger in the name of Contractor and XM, calendar Contractor and XM
     to receive renewal notices from DSI as provided in Section 9 below, and
     request the Initial Deposit, as defined in Section 3 below ("Initial
     Deposit") from Contractor unless and until an Initial Deposit has already
     been delivered to DSI. Unless and until DSI receives such Initial Deposit,
     DSI shall have no further obligation to Contractor and XM.

3.   Initial Deposit. The Initial Deposit will consist of the Technical
     ----------------
     Materials as such term is defined in the Contract as specified by an
     accompanying document called a "Description of Deposit Materials"
     hereinafter referred to as "Exhibit B".  DSI shall issue a completed copy
     of a signed and dated "Description of Deposit Materials" in the form of

     issue a completed copy of a signed and dated "Description of Deposit
     Materials" in the form of Exhibit B of the foregoing items to Contractor
     and XM within ten (10) days of receipt of any Supplemental Deposit by DSI.

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

     Inspection"). DSI will not be responsible for the contents of any Deposit
     or for validating the accuracy of Contractor's labeling of a Deposit.

6.   Registration Account. Following the execution and delivery of this Escrow
     --------------------
     Agreement and the payment of the registration fee to DSI, DSI shall open a
     registration account ("Registration Account") for Contractor and XM. The
     opening of the Registration Account means that DSI shall establish an
     account ledger in the name of Contractor and XM, calendar Contractor and XM
     to receive renewal notices as provided in Section 9, and request payment of
     the DSI escrow fee. Unless and until DSI receives the initial registration
     fee payment, DSI shall have no obligation under this Escrow Agreement to
     Contractor or XM.

7.   Deposit Obligations of Confidentiality. DSI agrees to establish a
     --------------------------------------
     receptacle in which it shall place the Deposit and shall put the receptacle
     under the control of one or more of its officers, selected by DSI, whose
     identity shall be available to Contractor and XM at all times. DSI shall
     exercise a professional level of care in carrying out the terms of this
     Escrow Agreement.

     DSI acknowledges that Contractor and XM have advised DSI that the Deposit
     contains valuable confidential and proprietary information, data, material
     and technology and that DSI has an obligation to preserve and protect the
     confidentiality of the materials in the Deposit.

     DSI shall, and shall cause its officers, employees, agents and
     representatives to, maintain all data, material, information and technology
     forming the Deposit in confidence and shall not disclose any of the same
     nor make use of any of the Deposit for its own benefit or gain or for any
     purpose or in any manner other than as contemplated by this Escrow
     Agreement.  Upon termination of this Escrow Agreement in accordance with
     the terms hereof, the Deposit shall be disposed of in accordance with
     Contractor's instructions or if instructions are not received by DSI within
     thirty (30) days of termination, then DSI may destroy the Deposit and
     confirm in writing to Contractor that it has destroyed the Deposit and the
     date and method of destruction.

     No right or license is granted to DSI to duplicate any item in the Deposit
     for any reason whatsoever without the consent and agreement of Contractor.

8.   Verification Rights. Contractor  grants to DSI the right to inventory the
     --------------------
     Initial Deposit and each Supplementary Deposit, if any, for accuracy,
     completeness and sufficiency. No other rights or licenses are granted to
     DSI. XM shall have the right to cause a verification

<PAGE>

     of any Deposit Materials. If a verification is elected after the Deposit
     Materials have been delivered to DSI, then only DSI, or at DSI's election
     an independent person or company selected and supervised by DSI, may
     perform the verification.

     Either or both Contractor or XM may be present at DSI's facility to observe
     any DSI inventory or audit of the Initial Deposit and each Supplementary
     Deposit by DSI.

9.   Term of Agreement. This Escrow Agreement shall have an initial term of one
     -----------------
     (l) year, commencing on the Effective Date and shall be continuously
     renewable as long as the fees are paid.  In the event of the non-payment of
     fees owed to DSI, DSI shall provide written notice of delinquency to all
     parties to this Escrow Agreement thirty (30) days prior to expiration of
     the Contract. Any party to this Escrow Agreement shall have the right to
     make the payment to DSI to cure the default. If the past due payment is not
     received in full by DSI within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice,
     then DSI shall have the right to terminate this Escrow Agreement at any
     time thereafter by sending written notice of termination to all parties.
     DSI shall have no obligation to take any action under this Escrow Agreement
     so long as any payment due to DSI remains unpaid.  Notwithstanding anything
     to the contrary herein, this Escrow Agreement may not be terminated so long
     as XM or Contractor pays the fees owed to DSI hereunder.

10.  Expiry. If this Escrow Agreement expires or is otherwise terminated, all
     ------
     duties and obligations of DSI to Contractor and XM, except DSI's
     obligations of confidentiality pursuant to Section 7 hereof, will terminate
     upon expiration or termination of this Escrow Agreement. DSI shall request
     instructions from Contractor with respect to return or disposal of the
     items in Escrow, and if DSI does not receive any instructions from
     Contractor, DSI may dispose of (destroy) the Deposit in accordance with
     Section 7.

11.  Release of Deposit to XM. Upon written notice or request to DSI by XM to
     -------------------------
     audit, access or inventory or require any reporting/information regarding
     the Escrow, DSI shall promptly advise Contractor in writing, by telecopier
     and by over-night courier.

     With respect to the Release Conditions specified in Article 13(a)(1)-(4) of
     the Contract only, XM may notify DSI that one or more of the Release
     Conditions (as such term is defined in the Contract) has occurred, and DSI
     shall notify Contractor of the XM notice, by no later than three (3)
     Business Days after receipt of such notification from XM.  Ten (10)
     Business Days after notification to Contractor, DSI shall deliver the
     Deposit to XM, unless, in the interim, XM or a court order directs DSI not
     to deliver the Deposit.

     With respect to the Release Condition specified in Article 13(a)(5) of the
     Contract only, XM may notify DSI that this Release Condition has occurred,
     and DSI shall notify Contractor of the XM notice by no later than three (3)
     Business Days after receipt of such notification from XM.  Ten (10)
     Business Days after notification to Contractor, DSI shall deliver the
     Deposit to XM, unless, in the interim, XM or a court order directs DSI not
     to deliver the Deposit or Contractor delivers a  written notice of its
     objection to DSI concerning the release of the Deposit within such ten (10)
     Business Day period.

     In the event that a written notice of objection is received by DSI from
     Contractor within

<PAGE>

     the ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of XM's notice that a
     Release Condition as set forth in Article 13(a)(5) of the Contract has
     occurred, DSI shall not release the Deposit to XM unless and until any
     dispute relating to whether or not such Release Condition has occurred has
     been resolved (either by written agreement of the parties or arbitral
     award) such that it is determined that the Release Condition set forth in
     Article 13(a)(5) has occurred. Any such dispute shall not be subject to
     Article 13 (Disputes) of this Escrow Agreement, but shall instead be
     governed by the escrow arbitration provisions set forth in Article 13
     (Technical Materials Escrow) of the Contract, and DSI shall be bound by any
     resulting award as evidenced by a copy of the certificate of the
     arbitrator.

     Following delivery of the Deposit to XM, in the event it is determined by
     XM or by court order or arbitral award that the Release Condition did not
     occur as stated by XM, XM will return the Deposit to DSI as long as DSI's
     fees are received pursuant to Section 19.

     DSI shall not deliver any items in Escrow to any person other than XM,
     without the prior written consent and agreement of Contractor.

12.  Return to Escrow.  Following release from Escrow, and pursuant to Section
     ----------------
     19, XM shall return the Deposit to Escrow in accordance with the terms of
     the Contract.

13.  Disputes. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11 above, any and all
     --------
     disputes arising at any time under this Escrow Agreement or relating to
     this Escrow Agreement, or the interpretation or performance (or non-
     performance) of the terms of this Escrow Agreement, shall be finally
     resolved and settled by arbitration in accordance with the [International]
     Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA").
     Contractor and XM shall each select one impartial arbitrator, and a third
     impartial arbitrator will be selected unanimously by said two (2)
     arbitrators. If there are three (3) arbitrators selected in accordance with
     the foregoing, the arbitration shall proceed. If said two (2) arbitrators
     are unable to select the third arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of
     their selection by the parties, the third impartial arbitrator shall be
     selected by the AAA. Unless otherwise agreed to by Contractor and XM,
     arbitration will take place in Washington, DC. The decision of a majority
     of the arbitrators shall be final and binding and may be enforced by any
     court having proper jurisdiction. Pending the final determination of the
     arbitrators, either Party shall have the right to obtain such equitable
     relief to preserve the status quo and to protect its proprietary matter,
     including obtaining injunctive relief.

     The arbitrators may, subject to their signing a non-disclosure of
     Confidential Information Agreement agreeing not to disclose the contents of
     the Escrow, review the items Deposited in Escrow as is reasonably necessary
     for the arbitrators to reach a decision regarding the matter in dispute and
     submitted to arbitration by the parties. The arbitrators shall not have the
     right, power, or authority to grant any rights or licenses with respect to
     the Deposit to any persons whomsoever or to require that the same be
     delivered or made available to any person other than XM. The arbitrators
     shall determine who shall bear (and in what proportions) the cost of the
     proceedings including reasonable attorneys fees and costs.

14.  Indemnification. DSI shall be responsible to perform its obligations under
     ---------------
     this Escrow Agreement and to act in a reasonable and prudent manner with
     regard to this escrow arrangement.  Provided DSI has acted in the manner
     stated in the preceding sentence, Contractor and XM each agree to defend
     and indemnify DSI and hold DSI harmless from and against all claims,
     actions and suits, whether in contract or in tort, and from and against any
     and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, penalties, counsel
     fees, and other expenses of any nature (including, without limitation,
     settlement costs) incurred by DSI as a result of performance of this Escrow
     Agreement except in the event of a judgment or award which specifies that
     DSI breached this Escrow Agreement.

15.  Audit Rights. DSI agrees to keep records of the activities undertaken and
     ------------
     materials prepared pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. Contractor will be
     entitled upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours during the
     term of this Escrow Agreement through independent outside auditors, or in-

                          1999 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corporation's Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP") is
designed to incentivize participants to enhance shareholder value.

In establishing this AIP and making decisions regarding participation and
awards, the Board of Directors and the Company considers the following:

     .  providing substantial compensation incentive for AIP participants to
        ensure they are focused in carrying out the Company's annual operating
        plans;

     .  maintaining the competitiveness of the Company's program in attracting,
        rewarding, and retaining executives and other key employees;

     .  the program's sensitivity to corporate financial and stock market
        performance; and

     .  the extent to which participants are building a significant ownership
        stake in the Company and thus more closely identifying with the
        interests of shareholders.

Incentive targets will vary according to a participant's position and the
relative impact a participant can have on the company's operations, typically as
measured by total shareholder return ("TSR"), return on capital employed
("ROCE"), safety and environmental excellence ("SEE"), and individual
performance achievement ("IPA"). The payment of any awards is conditioned on the
Company's earnings and financial condition.

Awards will be determined by the 1999 results of the total Company and business
units using TSR (where applicable), ROCE, and SEE performance measures, and the
participant's IPA (where applicable). These performance measures are described
in more detail below.

I.   Criteria for Participation

     Officers, high-level and select middle-level professionals who have been
     nominated by the Company's management, based upon their potential to impact
     the Company's performance, may participate in the AIP.

II.  Target Bonus

     Target bonuses are expressed as a percentage of the participant's base
     salary. Performance above or below target performance produces an award
     that is respectively greater or smaller than the target bonus.

     The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines a
     participant's target bonus. Target bonus percentages may be set at
     different levels, depending on the participant's scope of responsibility.
     Generally, the higher the level of responsibility, the greater the target
     bonus percentage. The Compensation Committee may also consider such factors
     as the participant's dedication, ingenuity, initiative, and other
     contributions made toward the Company's success. In no event may any
     participant's total annual award exceed 200% of his target bonus.

1999 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

III. Performance Measures

     For the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), 60% of the bonus is determined by
     the TSR performance measure, 30% by the ROCE (at the "Total Company"
     measurement level) performance measure, and 10% by the SEE measure (at the
     "Total Company" measurement level).

     In the case of Executive Committee Members (other than the CEO), 40% of the
     bonus is determined by the TSR performance measure, 30% by the ROCE (at the
     "Total Company" measurement level) performance measure, 20% by the IPA
     measure, and 10% by the SEE measure (at the "Total Company" measurement
     level).

     In the case of other participants (other than the CEO and other Executive
     Committee Members), 70% of the bonus is determined by ROCE (at the
     specified Unit measurement level) performance measure, 20% by the IPA
     measure, and 10% by the SEE measure (at the specified Unit measurement
     level).

     The TSR, ROCE, SEE, and IPA measures are calculated as a percent of target
     award, and reflect the Compensation Committee's assessment of the
     appropriate award levels for attaining different levels of relative
     performance. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may change
     the minimum and maximum measure levels during an AIP year.

     TSR Performance Measure
     -----------------------

     The TSR performance measure is UDS' share price appreciation plus dividends
     measured against the Company's peer group of refining and marketing
     companies ("Peer Group"). Members of the Peer Group are listed in Chart V.

     For each calendar quarter UDS' TSR is calculated and compared to the UDS'
     "Peer Group Average TSR" for the same period (see Chart I). The quarterly
     Peer Group TSR is first determined by calculating each Peer Group member's
     TSR; the Peer Group Average TSR is the simple, equally weighted average of
     the individual TSR results.

     The "point spread" is the difference between the quarterly UDS TSR and the
     Peer Group Average TSR. The "point spread" is annualized and applied
     against the TSR Incentive Scale (Chart II).

     The TSR performance measure percentage of target award is determined by
     averaging the quarterly target award percentages achieved during the AIP
     year. There is no award where the annualized quarterly point spread is less
     than -10 percentage points. There is no limitation on the quarterly
     percentage of target award that can be achieved.

     ROCE Performance Measure
     ------------------------

     ROCE performance is measured on "normalized" refining margins. "Normalized
     ROCE" compares ROCE for the year recalculated at 1997 industry refining
     margins to the target ROCE. The ROCE performance measure is determined on a
     full-year basis.

     The target ROCE component is established for the Company ("Total Company)
     and one or more Units. The Compensation Committee establishes the target
     ROCE

<PAGE>

1999 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN
Page 5

     performance measures for the year. For 1999, the following ROCE measures
     have been established:

           UDS Business Unit             1999 Target
           -----------------             -----------
           West Coast                    10.0%
           Southwest                     13.0%
           Northeast                     22.0%
           Corporate (Total Company)     12.0%

     The ROCE results are compared against the ROCE Performance Measure Scale
     (Chart III). The scale for ROCE at normalized margins reaches a maximum
     200% of target award.

     The calculation of the percentage of target award achieved for the ROCE
     performance measure for any of the Company's Canadian operations will be
     calculated in Canadian dollars, so as to neutralize currency exchange rate
     shifts during the year.

     SEE Performance Measure
     -----------------------

     The SEE performance measure consists of two components. The first measure
     is the Health and Safety component and the second measure is the
     Environmental Excellence component.

     The Health and Safety component is based on the Lost Workday Accident
     Frequency Rate ("LWAF"). LWAF goals have been established for each major
     operating facility/area. The LWAF Rate is the "Lost Workday" frequency per
     100 employees. A Lost Workday case is any injury that results in days away
     from work, restricted duty, or both.

     Environmental Excellence objectives are designed to meet the highest
     priority elements of a facility or operation and/or avoidance of
     significant environmental risk or liability. Environmental Excellence goals
     will be developed on a facility-by-facility basis.

     The SEE performance measure is determined on a full-year basis. The two SEE
     performance measure components are weighted equally to determine the total
     SEE performance measure. The scale for SEE reaches a maximum 200% of target
     award.

     IPA Performance Measure
     -----------------------

     A participant's IPA performance is compared to the achievement of
     objectives which may include, but are not limited to, attainment of
     significant objective or quantifiable goals, and developmental goals in
     such areas as leadership, communication, and affirmative action. The
     percentage of target award achieved may range from 0% (failed to achieve
     objectives) to 200% (exceeded all expectations in achieving the
     objectives). The employee and his manager establish individual performance
     objectives, and progress and priorities are reviewed periodically during
     the year. Establishment of three to five individual objectives is
     suggested.

     An example of the calculation of a participant's award is set out in Chart
     IV.

IV.  Annual Incentive Threshold
<PAGE>

1999 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN
Page 6

     Payment of any award is within the Compensation Committee's discretion.
     Before any funds become available for the AIP, the Committee will generally
     require that there be sufficient earnings before interest, taxes,
     depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") to cover the AIP "Annual
     Incentive Threshold." The Annual Incentive Threshold is the total of
     budgeted expenses for dividends, debt service, current taxation, corporate
     administration, and the total potential payout (calculated at target award
     level) for the AIP and all variable pay programs for employees not
     participating in the AIP.

     If sufficient funds are not available to pay the bonuses as calculated, all
     awards may be prorated by the ratio of the actual funds available for the
     AIP to the total calculated. In its sole discretion, the Compensation
     Committee may cause the balance of such prorated awards to be paid in stock
     or restricted stock.

V.   Bonus Adjustments

     At its discretion, the Compensation Committee may adjust actual performance
     measure results for extraordinary events or accounting adjustments
     resulting from significant asset purchases or dispositions or other events
     not contemplated or otherwise considered by the Compensation Committee when
     the performance measure targets were set.

VI.  Bonus Payout

     Awards typically are determined in January or February for performance in
     the preceding year. Awards are paid in cash, unless the participant has
     elected, or is required to receive, a portion of his award in restricted
     stock.

     Beginning in the year 2000 (at the time of award payout), participants with
     three years of eligibility and who have had incentive factors greater than
     10% are required to hold shares of Company stock sufficient to meet any
     applicable stock ownership guidelines that have been approved by the
     Compensation Committee. The current applicable stock ownership guidelines
     are set out in Chart VI. If you do not own the required number of shares on
     December 31, 1999, you must either elect to receive 25% of your gross AIP
     bonus in restricted stock or elect to purchase UDS stock in the amount of
     25% of your gross AIP bonus.

     Participants may increase the percentage of bonus payment taken in
     restricted shares. They may also request that the Compensation Committee
     extend the restriction period beyond the minimum two years up to a maximum
     of five years. In both cases elections and requests must be received by
     David Rico in the San Antonio Compensation Department no later than
     December 31st of the AIP year.

                                    CHART I

                COMPUTATION OF TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN ("TSR")
                -----------------------------------------------

1.   For each calendar quarter:

TSR is calculated at the end of each calendar quarter, using the last trading
day's closing price for the preceding quarter (the beginning price) and the
current quarter (the ending price) plus the dividend for the period.

           Ending Price + Dividends       - 1
           ------------------------
               Beginning Price

     For example, UDS' TSR is calculated as follows, assuming a beginning price
     of $32, an ending price of $33, and $.275 in dividends:

           $33.00 + $.275    - 1 = 3.98%
           --------------
             $32.00

This calculation is performed for UDS and each company in its Peer Group. UDS'
TSR is compared to its Peer Group's average TSR to determine the "point spread."
The Peer Group's average is determined by a simple (not weighted) average of the
TSR results for the Peer Group.

The point spread is annualized by multiplying it by 4, and is then compared to
the Total Shareholder Return Incentive Scale (Chart II) to determine the
annualized percentage of target award achieved. The quarterly percentage of
target award is then determined by dividing by 4 the annualized percentage of
target award indicated on Chart II.

     For example, the "point spread" is calculated as follows, assuming UDS' TSR
     was 3.5% and its Peer Group average TSR was -1.5%:

           3.5% - (-1.5%) = 5% percentage points

           4 x 5% = 20% (the annualized point spread)

     Applying the 20% point spread to Chart II reflects that 160% of target
     award was achieved for the quarter. Since 160% is the annualized percentage
     of target award, in this example 40% (one-fourth of 160%) is the quarterly
     percentage of target award achieved.

2.   At the end of the AIP year:

The quarterly percentages of target award achieved during the AIP year are
averaged (totaled and divided by 4) to yield the total TSR performance measure's
percentage of target award achieved for the AIP year.

                       EXAMPLE OF AIP AWARD CALCULATION:
                      Vice Presidents and Senior Managers
                      -----------------------------------

Assume the following for this example:
     .  the participant is in the Total Company (Corporate) category
     .  the target normalized ROCE  is 10.00%
     .  ROCE at normalized refining margins is 10.75%
     .  ROCE at normalized refining margins performance is 107.5%
        (10.75%/10.00%)

For an AIP participant earning $100,000 per year and a 20% target bonus, the
award is determined as follows:

1.   The ROCE performance measure (70% of total award) portion of the bonus
     payout:

        By referring to the applicable ROCE Performance Measure Scale (Chart
        III):

           .  ROCE results at normalized refining margins at 107.5% of target =

              165.0% of target award

        ROCE Performance Measure Percentage of Salary =

              [(165.0% percentage of target award)] X 20% target bonus X 70%

              ROCE performance measure weight = 23.1%

        ROCE Performance Measure Bonus Payout = 23.1% X $100,000 = $23,100

2.   The IPA performance measure (20% of total award for this participant)
     portion of the bonus payout:

        IPA Performance Measure Percentage of Salary =

              20% IPA performance measure weight x 20% of target bonus x 110%

              percentage of target award = 4.4%

        IPA Performance Measure Bonus Payout = 4.4% of $100,000 = $4,400

3.   The SEE performance measure (10% of total award for this participant)
     portion of the bonus payout

        SEE Performance Measure Percentage of Salary =

           10% SEE performance measure weight x 20% of target bonus x 100%

           percentage of target award = 2.0%

        SEE Performance Measure Bonus Payout = 2.0% of $100,000 = $2,000
<PAGE>

1999 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

In this example this participant's total bonus would be $23,100 + $4,400 +
$2,000 = $29,500.

                 Executive Committee Members (Other Than CEO)
                 --------------------------------------------

Assume the following for this example:
     .  the participant is in the Total Company (Corporate) category
     .  the target normalized ROCE  is 10.00%
     .  ROCE at normalized refining margins is 10.75%
     .  ROCE at normalized refining margins performance is 107.5%
        (10.75%/10.00%)

For an AIP participant earning $150,000 per year and a 25% target bonus, the
award is determined as follows:

1.   The ROCE performance measure (30% of total award) portion of the bonus
     payout:

        By referring to the applicable ROCE Performance Measure Scale (Chart
        III):

        .  ROCE results at normalized refining margins at 107.5% of target =

           165.0% of target award

        ROCE Performance Measure Percentage of Salary =

           [(165.0% percentage of target award)] X 25% target bonus X 30% ROCE

           performance measure weight = 12.375%

        ROCE Performance Measure Bonus Payout = 12.375% X $150,000 = $18,562.50

2.   The TSR performance measure (40% of total award) portion of the bonus
     payout:

        The Company's TSR point spread (by calendar quarter):

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Quarter               Actual Point Spread           % Target Award*

          Total                                                    480%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        TSR Performance Measure Percentage of Salary =

           40% TSR performance measure weight x 25% of target bonus x 120%

           percentage of target award = 12%

        TSR Performance Measure Bonus Payout = 12% of $150,000 = $18,000

---------------------------
*Annualized by multiplying the point spread by 4 and applying each quarter's
 result against Chart II to determine the Incentive % Target achieved for each
 quarter; these values are totaled (480%) and divided by 4 to determine the
 Incentive Target % achieved for the AIP year (120%).

3.   The IPA performance measure (20% of total award for this participant)
     portion of the bonus payout:

        IPA Performance Measure Percentage of Salary =

           20% IPA performance measure weight x 25% of target bonus x 110%

           percentage of target award = 5.5%

        IPA Performance Measure Bonus Payout = 5.5% of $150,000 = $8,250

4.   The SEE performance measure (10% of total award for this participant)
     portion of the bonus payout

        SEE Performance Measure Percentage of Salary =

           10% SEE performance measure weight x 25% of target bonus x 100%

           percentage of target award = 2.5%

        SEE Performance Measure Bonus Payout = 2.5% of $150,000 = $3,750

In this example this participant's total bonus would be $18,562.50 + $18,000 +
$8,250 + $3,750 = $48,562.50.
