the parties agree as follows:
1. GENERAL.
(a) Services. Each of GTE and GENUITY (each a "Service Recipient", as the
--------
case may be) desires to obtain certain information technology
transitional services on a non-exclusive basis from the other party
hereto or one of its affiliate companies (each a "Service Provider",
as the case may be) under the terms and conditions of this agreement
and statements of work ("Statements of Work") entered into by the
parties (this agreement and all attached Statements of Work are
collectively referred to as the "Agreement"), and Service Provider
shall provide to Service Recipient such information technology
transitional services (individually and collectively, "Services"). If
there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and
conditions of a Statement of Work and the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (excluding for this purpose the Statements of Work), the
terms and conditions of the Statement of Work shall control.
(b) Statements of Work - Generally. Each of the Statements of Work entered
------------------------------
into by the parties shall: (i) refer expressly to this Agreement; (ii)
designate the date as of which the provisions of the Statement of Work
shall be effective and, if applicable, the term or period of time
during which Service Provider shall perform Services, provide
resources or otherwise discharge its obligations as specified in the
Statement of Work if different from the term set out in this Agreement
(excluding for this purpose the Statement of Work); (iii) describe the
Services to be performed, Work Product (as defined herein) to be
delivered, resources to be provided or obligations to be discharged by
Service Provider pursuant to the Statement of Work; (iv) describe the
obligations of Service Recipient related to the Statement of Work,
including any facilities, equipment,
1
personnel and tasks or other support to be provided or performed by
Service Recipient; (v) specify the payments to be made to Service
Provider under the Statement of Work, or, if applicable, the basis on
which such payments shall be computed; and (vi) specify any other
terms and conditions appropriate to the Services to be performed and
the obligations of the parties. If there is any conflict or
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of a Statement of Work
and the terms and conditions of this Agreement (excluding for this
purpose the Statement of Work), the terms and conditions of the
Statement of Work shall control. Service Recipient may request
services through a letter, email, or other written or electronic
medium. The request for services will outline the nature and scope of
the services requested. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the
request for services, Service Provider shall provide a high-level
estimate of the activities to be performed along with an estimate of
the number of hours required to perform each of the activities.
Preparation of the high level estimate shall be charged at the hourly
rates then in effect between Service Provider and Service Recipient,
or if no rate is specified, at Service Provider's then-current rate
for such activity. Service Recipient shall have thirty (30) days to
notify Service Provider if Service Recipient desires Service Provider
to prepare a Statement of Work. Unless otherwise specified in a
particular Statement of Work, the Statement of Work shall be issued on
a time and materials basis and shall include an estimate of the hours
needed to complete the Statement of Work and the hourly rates
applicable to the services being provided. All services are
contemplated to be performed at Service Provider's location during
normal business hours, excluding weekends and Service Provider's
holidays. If a Statement of Work requires travel to Service
Recipient's location or another location at the request of Service
Recipient, Service Provider shall xxxx travel time incurred by Service
Provider's employees at the hourly rate(s) specified in the Statement
of Work. Service Provider shall issue an invoice monthly for such
services in accordance with this Agreement. For any Statement of Work
for which GTE's GTEDS affiliate is a Service Provider hereunder, the
terms and conditions contained in Attachments 1 and 2, entitled
"Service Level Agreement for Application Enhancement and Development"
and "SAP R/3 Service Level Agreement", respectively, shall apply to
such Statement of Work.
(c) Order of Precedence. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency
-------------------
between the terms and conditions of any Statement of Work, this
Agreement, the Software License Agreement among the parties and of
even date hereof, the Software Development and Technical Services
Agreement among the parties and of even date hereof, the Intellectual
Property Ownership and Cross License Agreement among the parties and
of even date hereof, and any other agreement among the parties hereof,
the terms and conditions shall take precedence in the following order:
2
(i) Statement of Work;
(ii) This Agreement (excluding for this purpose the Statements of
Work);
(iii) Software License Agreement or the applicable software license
agreement which is directed to the software for which the
Services are provided; and
(iv) Software Development and Technical Services Agreement.
(d) Milestones, Phases and Timing; Changes. Each of the Statements of Work
--------------------------------------
shall set out, if applicable, milestones and phases of the work. When
phases are specified, Service Provider shall not be obligated to
proceed with work on the next phase until Service Recipient has
provided written authorization to proceed. If Service Recipient has
not provided Service Provider with written authorization to proceed on
a specific phase, and it is necessary to commence or complete such
phase in order to meet any milestones specified in the Statement of
Work, Service Provider shall not have any obligations with respect to
such milestones and the Statement of Work shall be deemed to be
modified accordingly. The Statement of Work may be modified by mutual
written agreement, signed by both parties. No verbal changes to the
Statement of Work are permitted.
(e) Performance. All Services shall be performed in accordance with the
-----------
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the requirements, order of
performance and delivery dates specified in each Statement of Work.
Service Provider shall devote such time, efforts and resources to the
performance of Services as are necessary to accomplish the tasks
specified in any Statement of Work. The Service Provider may call upon
the expertise and/or assistance of its affiliates, subcontractors or
consultants in the performance of such Services, provided that Service
Provider shall obtain the prior written consent of Service Recipient
in the event it desires to use outside subcontractors or consultants.
If a Statement of Work specifies that some or all of the work will be
done by a subcontractors or consultant, no additional approval shall
be required.
(f) Third Party Software Licenses. The Service Recipient acknowledges that
-----------------------------
Service Provider and its affiliates may be required to use certain
software licensed to GTE by third parties to provide Services pursuant
to this Agreement. If any licensor of such third party software
requires the payment of any consideration to permit Service Provider
to use the vendor's software in order to perform its obligations under
this Agreement,
3
Service Provider shall provide Service Recipient with thirty (30) days
prior written notice of such additional consideration. Service
Recipient shall have the option to (i) procure its own license to such
software at its own expense, or (ii) authorize Service Provider to
incur such required additional consideration on its behalf and at
Service Recipient's expense. In the event that Service Recipient does
not agree to either (i) or (ii) above, Service Provider shall not be
required to provide the Services for which such third party licenses
are required. If the third party requires Service Recipient to secure
rights in such third party software to receive the Services or to use
the result of such Services, Service Recipient shall be responsible
for securing such rights at its own cost and expense.
(g) Service Recipient Provided Software. If Service Recipient elects to
-----------------------------------
use Service Provider Hardware (as defined below) to operate and run
Service Recipient Provided Software (also as defined below) pursuant
to a Statement of Work, Service Recipient shall obtain all licenses
necessary for use of such software, pay any associated fees negotiated
with Service Provider for running such software for Service Recipient
and pay any costs related to obtaining required consents needed by
Service Provider to use such software for Service Recipient's benefit.
Service Recipient shall be responsible for all costs associated with
Service Recipient provided third party software. Service Recipient
agrees to indemnify and hold Service Provider harmless against any
loss, cost, claim, liability, damage, expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees), or demand by or on behalf of any person, firm,
corporation, or governmental authority resulting from or arising out
of Service Recipient's alleged violation of such third party software
rights, provided that prior to agreement on a Statement of Work, the
parties shall have worked diligently together to identify all license
rights needed by Service Recipient hereunder and to confirm that
Service Provider has the right to perform the services hereunder.
"Service Provider Hardware" shall mean the central processing units
and peripheral equipment installed in a Service Provider's facility
and utilized by Service Provider to provide Services described in any
Statement of Work. The term Service Provider Hardware does not include
circuit equipment from Service Recipient's site to Service Provider's
facility, terminals, controllers, or telecommunications equipment at
Service Recipient's site(s) required to enable Service Recipient to
utilize Service Provider's Services, all of which are Service
Recipient's responsibility. "Service Recipient Provided Software"
shall mean software owned or licensed by Service Recipient which is
installed an operated at a Service Provider facility pursuant to a
Statement of Work.

(a) Invoices. The charges for the Services shall be set out in the
--------
applicable Statement of Work. Service Provider shall invoice Service
Recipient for Services in accordance with the payment schedule set
forth in the applicable Statement of Work. Each invoice shall
reference this Agreement and the applicable Statement of Work. The
invoices shall be itemized to show the details as to all billed items.
Payments shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date each
invoice is received by Service Recipient.
(b) Sales, Use and Other Taxes. In addition to the charges for Services,
--------------------------
Service Recipient shall pay Service Provider an amount equal to any
sales, use, privilege, gross revenue, excise, or any other tax (except
income and franchise taxes), as well as any assessments or duties with
respect to the Services lawfully levied by a duly constituted
governmental authority and for which Service Provider is required, by
law, to collect from Service Recipient. In addition each party shall
be responsible for all real and personal property taxes imposed on
software and equipment owned by the respective parties on January 1 of
every year. If Service Recipient determines that any Services are
exempt from a tax, Service Recipient must provide Service Provider a
properly completed exemption certificate, for each jurisdiction for
which Service Recipient is claiming an exemption, before Service
Provider will exclude the respective tax from amounts charged to
Service Recipient. Service Recipient will not deduct any tax amount
from remittances to Service Provider until a properly completed
exemption certificate, for all jurisdictions for which Service
Recipient is claiming an exemption, has been provided to Service
Provider.
(c) Expense Reimbursement. Service Recipient shall reimburse Service
---------------------
Provider for reasonable expenses for travel, meals and lodging
incurred by Service Provider in the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement. Any such charges shall be in compliance with
Service Provider's employee expense policies. There shall be no xxxx-
up of such expense charges. Service Provider shall maintain
documentation of expenses incurred, and shall provide copies of
invoices of $100 or more upon Service Recipient's request. Service
Provider shall xxxx Service Recipient monthly for expenses as they
accrue. The parties will specify any limitation on the reimbursement
of expenses in the applicable Statement of Work. It is acknowledged
and agreed that if Service Provider is reasonably required to incur
expenses beyond such limitation in order to provide the Services, then
Service Provider is excused from performing such Services until said
expense limitation is removed or changed as mutually agreed, provided
that Service Provider promptly notifies Service Recipient of the need
to exceed the limitation.
5
(d) Records. Service Provider shall maintain complete and accurate records
-------
in a form consistent with generally accepted accounting practices, to
substantiate Service Provider charges. Service Provider shall retain,
and make available upon request, such records for a period of three
(3) years from the date of invoice for Services. Service Recipient and
its authorized agents, subject to obligations of confidentiality as
set forth in this Agreement, shall have access to such records upon
prior written request during normal business hours during the term of
this Agreement and during the respective periods in which Service
Provider is required to maintain such records pursuant to this
subsection 2(d). Access to the records shall be made at the location
where such records are normally maintained.
(e) Late Payment. Late payment charges may be imposed by Service Provider
------------
at the rate of 1 1/2% per month (18%) per year). Interest shall not be
payable by Service Recipient for amounts on invoices which it has
disputed in good faith provided that Service Recipient pays the
applicable amount due, if any, within thirty (30) days of the
resolution of the dispute. With respect to disputed invoices,
undisputed amounts must be paid within thirty (30) days from the date
of the invoice. Service Provider must be advised in writing of any
amounts disputed by Service Recipient and the basis for the dispute
within ten (10) days from the date of the invoice or the entire
invoice must be paid.

This Agreement is effective as of the date of closing of the initial public
offering of Genuity Inc. shares of stock ("Effective Date") and shall
expire the earlier of: (a) one (1) year after the Effective Date or (b)
expiration or termination of all of the Statements of Work under this
Agreement unless earlier terminated under Section 24(a), (b) or (c) of this
Agreement. In the event of any termination or expiration, Genuity agrees to
reasonably cooperate in transitioning the work to any successor service
provider, and upon GTE's request and at its expense, Genuity shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to secure GTE's continued use of applicable
third party licenses. GTE shall use its best efforts to provide all items,
services and personnel necessary to effectuate and ensure a smooth and
timely transition for Genuity from dependence on Services under each
Statement of Work to standalone ability to perform such Services itself or
in conjunction with third parties. Both parties shall make appropriate
resources available in connection with such transition, and any such steps
taken by GTE shall be accomplished prior to the expiration of the term of
this Agreement.

4. ACCEPTANCE.
(a) Acceptance. Each Statement of Work shall specify the criteria, if any,
----------
that Service Provider must meet in order for the Work Products
described in the Statement of Work to be accepted by Service
Recipient. It may also specify a test plan, and such other information
as Service Provider and Service Recipient mutually deem appropriate
and the period of time, if any, that Service Recipient shall have to
review such Work Product and provide notice of acceptance or rejection
to Service Provider. Failure to accept or reject such Work Product
within the specified period of time or the commercial use of such Work
Product by or for the benefit of Service Recipient shall be deemed to
be acceptance.
(b) Rejection and Revision. If Service Recipient rejects any Work Product,
----------------------
it shall specify in reasonable detail in writing the reasons for
rejection and the requirements for revision. If the notice of
rejection is not sufficiently detailed to allow Service Provider to
determine why such Work Product is unacceptable, Service Provider may
request in writing that Service Recipient provide sufficient
additional information. If Service Provider and Service Recipient have
joint responsibility for the Work Product and the Work Product
requires revision, Service Provider shall assist Service Recipient in
making revisions necessary for the Work Product to meet the acceptance
criteria within a period of time that is reasonable under the
circumstances. If Service Provider has sole responsibility for the
Work Product, then it shall make the necessary revisions within a
period of time that is reasonable under the circumstances.
5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
(a) Confidentiality. In the course of requesting and performing Services
---------------
pursuant to this Agreement, each party may receive or acquire from the
other information or data pertaining to specifications, drawings,
sketches, models, samples, computer programs, methods, concepts, know-
how, techniques, processes, and other technical or business
information that the other party desires to protect against
unauthorized use or further disclosure. Unless otherwise expressly set
forth in a Statement of Work, for purposes of this Agreement,
"Confidential Information" shall mean: (i) any information in written,
other tangible or electronic form which is labeled by the disclosing

such disclosure. Each party shall remain the exclusive owner of its
Confidential Information.
(a) Use of Confidential Information. The Confidential Information of the
-------------------------------
disclosing party may be used by the receiving party only for the
performance or use of Services or Work Products to be provided
pursuant to this Agreement and may only be disclosed to those
employees, subcontractors or agents of the receiving party who have a
need to know in order to perform or use Services or Work Products
pursuant to this Agreement. Except and to the extent set forth in
subsection 6(c), the receiving party may not disclose Confidential
Information of the other party to any other person, entity, or the
public without the prior written consent of the disclosing party.
However, such Confidential Information may be disclosed by the
receiving party without the necessity of prior written consent, to the
receiving party's subcontractors or consultants who require access to
such Confidential Information to perform or use the Services under
this Agreement, provided such persons have entered into written
agreements which contain obligations of nondisclosure and nonuse no
less restrictive than set forth in this Section 6. It is agreed that
such written agreements shall be enforceable by the disclosing party.
(b) Exceptions. The obligations in subsection 6(b) shall not apply to that

is: lawfully in the receiving party's possession, with no restriction
on use or disclosure, prior to its acquisition from the disclosing
party; received in good faith by the receiving party, with no
restrictions on use or disclosure, from a third party not subject to
any confidential obligation to the disclosing party; now or later
becomes publicly known through no breach of confidential obligation by
the receiving party; released by the disclosing party to any other
person, firm or entity (including governmental agencies or bureaus)
without restriction on use or disclosure; or independently developed
by or for the receiving party without any reliance on or use of
Confidential Information of the disclosing party. The foregoing
exceptions shall not apply to software in any form.
(d) Disclosure and Notification. If a receiving party receives a request
---------------------------
to disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party
(whether pursuant to a subpoena, an order issued by a court or other
governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or otherwise) and, on
advice of legal counsel, determines that disclosure is required under
applicable law, the receiving party agrees that, prior to disclosing
any Confidential Information of the disclosing party, it shall (i)
notify the disclosing party of the
8
existence and terms of such request or advice, (ii) cooperate with the
disclosing party in taking legally available steps to resist or narrow
any such request or to otherwise eliminate the need for such
disclosure at the disclosing party's sole expense, if requested to do
so by the disclosing party, and (iii) if disclosure is required, it
shall be the obligation of the disclosing party to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other
reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be afforded to
such portion of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party
as is required to be disclosed.
(e) Continuing Obligation. The obligation of non-disclosure and non-use
---------------------
with respect to Confidential Information of the disclosing party shall
survive termination of this Agreement and shall continue for a period
of 5 years thereafter, provided that the obligations of non-disclosure
and non-use shall continue in perpetuity for software included in

Service Provider's obligations with respect to Service

Confidential Information, Service Provider shall retain a non-
exclusive, perpetual, world-wide, royalty-free license to use any
such Work Product for its ordinary and usual business purposes.
7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
(a) General. Except as provided in subsection 7(d) below, any controversy
-------
or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach
thereof, shall attempt to be settled first, by good faith efforts of
the parties to reach mutual agreement, and second, if mutual agreement
is not reached to resolve the dispute, by final, binding arbitration
as set out in subsection 7(c) below.
(b) Initial Resolution. A party that wishes to initiate the dispute
------------------
resolution process shall send written notice to the other party with a
summary of the controversy and a request to initiate these dispute
resolution procedures. Each party shall appoint a knowledgeable,
responsible representative from the company who has the authority to
settle the dispute, to meet and negotiate in good faith to resolve the
dispute. The discussions shall be left to the discretion of the
representatives, who may utilize other alternative dispute resolution
procedures such as mediation to assist in the negotiations.
Discussions and correspondence among the representatives for purposes
of these negotiations shall be treated as Confidential Information
developed for purposes of settlement, shall be exempt from discovery
and production, and shall not be admissible in the arbitration
described above or in any lawsuit pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal
Rules of Evidence. Documents identified in or provided with such
communications, which are not prepared for purposes of the
negotiations, are not so exempted and may, if otherwise admissible, be
admitted in evidence in the arbitration or lawsuit. The parties agree
to pursue resolution under this subsection 7(b) for a minimum of sixty
(60) days before requesting arbitration.
(c) Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved under the preceding
-----------
subsection 7(b) within sixty (60) days of the initial written notice,
either party may demand arbitration by sending written notice to the
other party. The parties shall promptly submit the dispute to the
American Arbitration Association for resolution by a single neutral
arbitrator acceptable to both parties, as selected under the rules of
the American Arbitration Association. The dispute shall then be
administered according to the American Arbitration Association's
Commercial Arbitration Rules, with the following modifications: (i)
the arbitration shall be held in a location mutually acceptable to the
parties, and if the parties do not agree, the location shall be New
York City; (ii) the arbitrator shall be licensed to practice law;
(iii) the arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration as if it were a
10
bench trial and shall use, apply and enforce the Federal Rules of
Evidence and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; (iv) except for
breaches related to Confidential Information, the arbitrator shall
have no power or authority to make any award that provides for
consequential, punitive or exemplary damages; (v) the arbitrator shall
control the scheduling so that the hearing is completed no later than
60 days after the date of the demand for arbitration; and (vi) the
arbitrator's decision shall be given within 5 days thereafter in
summary form that states the award, without written decision, which
shall follow the plain meaning of this Agreement, the relevant
documents, and the intent of the parties. Judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction over the parties. Each party to the dispute shall bear
its own expenses arising out of the arbitration, except that the
expenses of the facilities to conduct the arbitration and the fees of
the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties.
(d) Injunctive Relief. The foregoing notwithstanding, each party shall
-----------------
have the right to seek injunctive relief in an applicable court of law
or equity independent of any resolution of the dispute in accordance
with the foregoing.
8. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES.
(a) Independent Contractors. In providing any Services pursuant to this
-----------------------
Agreement, Service Provider and its affiliates are independent
contractors and not agents or representatives of Service Recipient.
Persons furnished by the respective parties shall be solely the
employees or agents of such parties, respectively, and shall be under
the sole and exclusive direction and control of such parties. They
shall not be considered employees of the other party or parties for
any purpose. Each party shall also be responsible, respectively, for
payment of taxes, including federal, state, and municipal taxes,
chargeable or assessed with respect to its employees or agents, such
as social security, unemployment, worker's compensation, disability
insurance and federal and state income tax withholding.
(b) No Performance. Neither party undertakes by this Agreement or any
--------------
Statement of Work to conduct the business or operations of the other
party. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any Statement of Work is
intended to give rise to a partnership or joint venture between the
parties or to impose upon the parties any of the duties or
responsibilities of partners or joint venturers.
11
9. FORCE MAJEURE.
If performance of any Services under this Agreement is prevented,
restricted or interfered with by reason of acts of God, wars, revolution,
civil commotion, acts of public enemy, embargo, acts of government in its
sovereign capacity, labor difficulties, including without limitation,
strikes, slowdowns, picketing or boycotts, communication line failures,
power failures, or any other circumstances beyond the reasonable control
and not involving any fault or negligence of the party affected, the party
affected, upon giving prompt notice to the other party, shall be excused
from such performance on a day-to-day basis during the continuance of such
prevention, restriction, or interference (and the other party shall
likewise be excused on a day-to-day basis during the same period, from
performance of its obligations which are dependent upon or affected by such
nonperformance), provided, however, that the party so affected shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of
nonperformance and both parties shall proceed immediately with the
performance of their obligations under this Agreement whenever such causes
are removed or cease. If a force majeure condition continues to prevent a
party from performing for more than (30) consecutive days, then the other
party may terminate the applicable Statement of Work.
10. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.
(a) Cooperation. This Agreement is subject at all times to any statute,
-----------
order, rule, or regulation or any state or federal regulatory agency
having competent jurisdiction over one or both of the parties hereto
or the Services provided hereby. The parties agree to cooperate with
each other and with any applicable regulatory agency so that any and
all necessary approvals may be obtained. During the term of this
Agreement, the parties agree to continue to cooperate with each other
in any review of this Agreement by a regulatory agency so that the
benefits of this Agreement may be achieved.
(b) Filing Agreement. Notwithstanding the effective date and term of this
----------------
Agreement as stated elsewhere, to the extent that any statute, order,
rule or regulation or any regulatory agency having competent
jurisdiction over one or both parties to this Agreement, shall require
that this Agreement or subsequent amendment be filed with or approved
by such regulatory agency before the Agreement or amendment may be
effective, this Agreement or amendment shall not be effective in such
jurisdiction until the first business day after such approval or
filing shall have occurred.
12
11. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) General. GTE and GENUITY, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each
-------
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other and its
affiliates, officers, agents and employees from any and all amounts
payable under any judgment, verdict, court order or settlement (and
associated fees and disbursements of counsel) arising from or related
to any third-party claims for injury, sickness, disease or death of
any person or damage to any real or tangible personal property or
assets to the extent arising from the indemnitor's (either directly or
through its officers, agents, subcontractors or representatives)
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of this Agreement
provided, however, that if a claim is the result of the joint
negligence or joint willful misconduct of GTE and GENUITY, the amount
of the claim for which each party is entitled to indemnification shall
be limited to that portion of such claim that is attributable to the
negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party. The
parties agree that the price for Services provided under this
Agreement includes consideration for the obligation to indemnify as
set out in this subsection 13(a).
(b) Losses. GENUITY and GTE each shall be responsible for any and all
------
claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), to
their respective tangible personal or real property (whether owned or
leased), and each party agrees to look only to its own insuring
arrangements (if any) with respect to such Losses. Subject to the
procedures set forth below, each party shall indemnify, defend, and
hold the other party harmless from any and all Losses arising out of,
under or in connection with claims for which the indemnitor is
responsible under the preceding sentence.
(c) Waivers. GENUITY and GTE waive all rights to recover against each
-------
other for any Loss to their respective tangible personal property
(whether owned or leased) from any cause covered by insurance
maintained by each of them, including their respective deductibles or
self-insured retentions. GENUITY and GTE shall cause their respective
insurers to issue appropriate waivers of subrogation rights
endorsements to all property insurance policies maintained by each
party. Each party shall give the other written notice if a waiver of
subrogation is unobtainable or obtainable only at additional expense.
If the party receiving such notice agrees to reimburse the other party
for such additional expense, the other party shall obtain such waiver
of subrogation. If a waiver is unobtainable or if a party elects not
to pay the additional expense of a waiver, then neither party nor
their insurers shall waive such subrogation rights.
13
(d) Conditions. The indemnification obligations set forth in this
----------
Section 11 shall not apply unless the party claiming indemnification:
(i) notifies the other promptly in writing of any matters in respect
of which the indemnity may apply and of which the notifying party has
knowledge, in order to allow the indemnitor the opportunity to
investigate and defend the matter; provided, however, that the failure
to so notify shall only relieve the indemnitor of its obligations
under this Section 11 if and to the extent that the indemnitor is
prejudiced thereby; and (ii) gives the other party full control of the
response thereto and the defense thereof, including any agreement
relating to the settlement thereof. However, if the indemnitor fails
to promptly assume the defense of the claim, the party entitled to
indemnification may assume the defense at the indemnitor's cost and
expense. The indemnitor shall not be responsible for any settlement or
compromise made without its prior written consent, unless the
indemnitee has tendered notice and the indemnitor has then refused to
assume and defend the claim and it is later determined that the
indemnitor was obligated to assume and defend the claim. The
indemnitee agrees to cooperate in good faith with the indemnitor at
the request and expense of the indemnitor.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
(a) General. A party's and its affiliates' liability arising out of or
-------
relating to a Statement or Statements of Work and this Agreement,
including without limitation on account of performance or
nonperformance of obligations hereunder, regardless of the form of the
cause of action, whether in contract, tort (including without
limitation negligence), statute or otherwise, shall in no event exceed
the lesser of (i) the price to be paid to Service Provider for the
completed Statement of Work (whether set out as a fixed price,
estimated price, not-to-exceed amount, or other similar expression of
the total price for the work to be performed under the Statement of
Work); (ii) the amount actually paid by Service Recipient to Service
Provider for the particular Statement of Work from which the claim
arises; or (iii) if the price to be paid to Service Provider for the
Statement of Work is expressed as a recurring periodic charge, the
liability shall be limited to the average of three (3) months charges
for technical services based on the average previous twelve (12)
month's (or such lesser number of months that the Statement of Work

14
(b) Limitation. EXCEPT FOR BREACHES RELATED TO CONFIDENTIAL
----------
INFORMATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGE OR LOST PROFITS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER EVEN IF A PARTY OR ITS
AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES
OCCURRING.
(c) Benefits Under Licenses. Anything contained herein to the contrary
-----------------------
notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to
start work, to provide Services or Work Product or to make available
to Service Recipient the benefits under any agreement, license or
arrangement if doing so without the consent of and/or payment to
another party thereto would constitute a breach thereof or in any
material way affect the rights of Service Provider thereunder, unless
and until such consent is obtained and payment, if any, made to such
party by Service Provider. Service Provider shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to secure such consents and benefits under any such
agreement or arrangement. If Service Provider cannot: (i) obtain such
consent; or (ii) Service Provider and the third party vendor cannot
agree on a commercially reasonable payment, if such is required, or

Provider shall not be required to provide any Services or Work
Products which are dependent upon any agreement, license or
arrangement as to which the third party provider has objected in
writing to making the benefits of such agreement, license or
arrangement available to Service Recipient. Service Recipient may,
however, obtain the requisite license or pay such fees that it deems
appropriate in order for Service Provider to provide the Services, if
Service Provider's provision of Services pursuant to such Service
Recipient License or payment is without any adverse material affect to
Service Provider.
13. CHANGES IN MANNER OF PROVIDING SERVICES.
Service Recipient acknowledges that Service Provider and its affiliates may
in the future determine to outsource certain information technology
functions or perform such functions using different computer software
operating systems or applications. These changes may prevent Service
Provider from providing certain Services or Work Products to Service
Recipient pursuant to this Agreement in the manner in which they have been
provided prior to such change. In the event Service Provider determines to
take any such action, it will provide Service Recipient with one hundred
twenty (120) days prior written notice and will cooperate with Service
Recipient to enable Service Recipient to continue to receive any affected
Services and Work Products through arrangements with
15
Service Provider's outsource providers or through conversion of Service
Recipient data for use on such operating systems or applications. In the
event Service Provider determines to make such changes, Service Recipient
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or any affected Statement
of Work without any liability or penalty. Any customizations requested by

provide the Services shall be at Service Provider's discretion. Service
Recipient shall be required to pay the mutually agreed upon cost of such
customizations.

Statement of Work for GTEDS providing service to Genuity:
TBS Performance Improvements
1.0 Management Summary
1.1 Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement For IT Transition
Services ("Agreement") dated _________ by and between Genuity Solutions
Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE Service Corporation and its affiliates and
shall be governed by the terms and conditions thereof. The services
described herein shall be provided by GTE Data Services Incorporated
(GTEDS) for a period of the earlier of one year from the Effective Date
of the IT Transition Services Agreement or the date of completion of
the work. This Statement of Work may not be renewed.
1.2 Executive Summary
Genuity uses an operational support system called Telecom Business
Solutions(C) (TBS) to accept new service orders and to design circuits
for its customers. The performance of this system is decreasing due to
rapid customer growth. This system currently runs on GTEDS computers in
a GTEDS data service center. This project addresses the performance
problem by having GTEDS install additional server hardware capacity to
improve system performance. This will allow time for GTEI to train its
staff and make provisions for moving this system to Genuity's data
center. This transition will be complete within one year from execution
of this statement of work.
1.3 Scope/Objective
This scope of work encompasses the delivery of a cost estimate and a
time estimate to provide a systems solution for TBS Performance
Improvements per the Genuity Business Case which states:
Two NT servers will be added between the E10K servers in the Fort Xxxxx
Data Center and the clients. The additional servers will de-load the
clients to increase performance. An additional benefit is that only the
NT boxes will have to be upgraded with new versions of TBS and not all
the clients.
1.4 Scope Requirements
. Provide a cost estimate to provide the systems solution to the
requirements provided by Genuity.
. Provide a time period estimate to provide the systems solution to
the requirements provided by Genuity.
Page 1 of 7
1.5 Assumptions
. Genuity will provide the business functional requirements, targeted
user environment description, and performance requirements that
must be delivered by a systems solution.
. Genuity will provide a target date by which a systems solution is
to be available for Genuity user operations.
. Genuity will respond within 5 business days to a request for
clarification of requirement(s).
. Genuity will provide a description of any preferred
hardware/software/network environment to which a systems solution
should conform.
. All of the work performed hereunder shall be in accordance with the
Service Level Agreement for the Application Enhancement and
Development of even date herewith.

Statement of Work for GTEDS providing service to Genuity:
Automated TBS ASR Processing
Management Summary
Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement For IT Transition
Services ("Agreement") dated _________by and between Genuity Solutions
Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE Service Corporation and its affiliates and
shall be governed by the terms and conditions thereof. The services
described herein shall be provided by GTE Data Services Incorporated
(GTEDS) for a period of the earlier of one year from the Effective Date
of the IT Transition Services Agreement or the date of completion of the
work. This Statement of Work may not be renewed.
Executive Summary
In order to provide a cross-country circuit for a customer, Genuity must
often lease a short "tail circuit" from the customer's location to the
nearest Genuity network access location. Today, Genuity requests tail
circuits from other telephone companies manually (e.g. by faxing an
order form to them). This project automates that process by enabling
Genuity to electronically send tail circuit orders to telephone
companies.
This project work is already in-progress and entails specialized skills
in GTEDS. This capability is needed by October 2000 and Genuity does
not have the staff to complete the project by that date. Transfer of the
project to another vendor could delay the availability of the
functionality.
Scope/Objective
This scope of work encompasses the delivery of a cost estimate and a
time estimate to provide a systems solution for Automated TBS ASR
Processing per the Genuity business case which states:
This project would eliminate the duplicate manual entry thereby
improving the efficiency of the business process and improving the
accuracy of the data.
Scope Requirements
. Provide a cost estimate to provide the systems solution to the
requirements provided by Genuity.
. Provide a time period estimate to provide the systems solution to
the requirements provided by Genuity.
Page 1 of 7
Assumptions
. Genuity will provide the business functional requirements,
targeted user environment description, and performance
requirements that must be delivered by a systems solution.
. Genuity will provide a target date by which a systems solution
is to be available for Genuity user operations.
. Genuity will respond within 5 business days to a request for
clarification of requirement(s).
. Genuity will provide a description of any preferred
hardware/software/network environment to which a systems solution
should conform.

1.0 Management Summary
Introduction
This Statement Of Work is appended to the Agreement for IT
Transition Services ("Agreement") dated _________by and between
Genuity Solutions Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE Service Corporation
and its affiliates and shall be governed by the terms and

provided by GTE Data Services Incorporated (GTEDS) for a period
of the earlier of one year from the Effective Date of the IT
Transition Services Agreement or the date of completion of the
work. This Statement of Work may not be renewed.
This SOW outlines the tasks required by GTEDS for support of
"Smallworld- Release 5".
Executive Summary
Genuity uses a network and facility engineering design package
called "Smallworld". GTEDS currently supports Smallworld and has
been previously engaged to do several projects to improve the
accuracy of Smallworld data and enhance the usability of the
package.
This work is already well underway and entails specialized skills
in GTEDS. It is expected to complete in September 2000 and
Genuity does not have the staff to complete the project by that
date.
2.0 Scope of Work
2.1 Scope/Objective
The scope of work for this Statement of Work includes all
remaining system requirement tasks, high level system designs,
detail designs, program management tasks including development
workplans, and estimates for delivery of all Smallworld Release 5
components.
A change request to this SOW will be issued for the remaining
development, testing, implementation and training activities
occurring after 04/28/00.
2.2 Scope Requirements
Based on the information provided by "Genuity" regarding Release
5, the scope of each specific component is as follows:
[_] SMW/GRS Reconciliation
Development of workplans, estimates, detail designs and
some coding efforts

Requirements Specification documents for targeted Release 5
components.
2.4 Assumptions
It is assumed that this work effort is for the time period from
04/01/00 through 04/28/00. Code Drop for these SMW Release 5
efforts will be identified and confirmed in a subsequent SOW
change request.
A change request to this SOW, incorporating all Smallworld
Release-type activities, will be submitted to address the normal
systems testing, UAT, and implementation activities performed in
support of the verification of all Smallworld application release
enhancements.
"Genuity" resources are available and will support the planned
efforts targeted prior to the effective date of this SOW.

Statement of Work
Between
GTE Service Corporation
And
Genuity Solutions Inc.
To Provide
Web Based Interface to PSR
1.0 Management Summary
1.1 Introduction
This Statement Of Work is appended to the Agreement for IT Transition
Services ("Agreement") dated _________ by and between Genuity Solutions
Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE Service Corporation and its affiliates and
shall be governed by the terms and conditions thereof. The services
described herein shall be provided by GTE Data Services Incorporated
(GTEDS) for a period of the earlier of one year from the Effective Date
of the IT Transition Services Agreement or the date of completion of the
work. This Statement of Work may not be renewed.
This SOW outlines the tasks required by GTEDS for support of "Web Based
Interface to PSR".
1.2 Executive Summary
Genuity uses an operational support system called Telecom Business
Solutions(C) (TBS) to accept new service orders and to design circuits
for customers. Each user of this system is required to install a large,
complicated, expensive program on his PC. Only a small number of users
need the full capabilities of this large program. Most users only need
the ability to enter and check the status of orders. This project makes
those order management capabilities available via a standard Web Browser
which already exists on everyone's PC.
This work is already well underway and entails specialized skills in
GTEDS. It is expected to complete in August 2000 and Genuity does not
have the staff to complete the project by that date.
1.3 Scope/Objective
This scope of work included the following deliverables:
. Updated Project Plan
. Updated Software Requirements Specification
. Monthly Status Reports
. Updated Training Requirements Documentation
. User Acceptance Test Plan and Test Scripts
Creation of a web based interface to existing TBS PSR module for order
entry. Future phases will include capability to export status and
tracking information from the PSR.
Genuity acknowledges that the Web Based Interface, and all designs and
code, Web pages created herein, for this Statement Of Work, are developed
for use by multiple entities, including Genuity.
Page 1 of 10
1.4 Scope Requirements
Based on the information provided by Genuity regarding the web-based
interface to PSR, the scope of the project is as follows:
. This will provide a web-based interface into TBS/PSR for order
entry, tracking and status update. PSR is the order entry module
of TBS, which is developed by the vendor Metasolv. This will
enable field and remote personnel to access limited TBS/PSR
functionality remotely. Project will leverage the Genuity effort
currently underway to provide web access to the CODA system. A
conceptual diagram of the interface is shown in Appendix A.
Detailed order status and tracking will not be available until
Metasolv can deliver the work management API (currently scheduled
for April 2000).
1.5 Work Package Description Summary
See Attachment A, the Requirement and Conceptual Solution Document,
for a summary of GTEDS understanding of the requested functionality,
and our conceptual solution for the request.
1.6 Assumptions
. Several stages of the project will be performed in parallel
rather than sequentially.
. Project team will be able to leverage the design and building
efforts that went into the GNI internally developed CODA (Circuit
Order Data Analysis) data base, especially during requirements
sessions.
. There will be no requirement to provide ad hoc reports to end-
users.
. Products not in PSR as of a to be determined freeze date will
be provided as future release/upgrade.
. Project will not result in loss of current CODA reporting
functions.
. Telecom sales end users will access detailed service/circuit
information (beyond what is available through standard reports)
by direct contact with the Telecom CSC

1.8 Proposed Solution
The web-based interface to TBS-PSR will be provided by using the TBS-
PSR API from Metasolv. This will provide a 2-way interface into TBS
for entering orders into the PSR and retrieving high level tracking and
status information from the TBS database. This is dependent upon the
installation of TBS V4.2. Web pages, server, and required databases
will be delivered by GTE-IT. Detailed functionality requirements and
design will be defined during a 2 phase requirements gathering session.
Expected hardware and network requirements include connectivity via the
GTE inter-WAN for the API server and web server, external connectivity
for remote and field personnel using the web. Details of network and
hardware requirements will be defined during the network and technical
architecture review stages.

dates shall be determined by the status of Critical or Non-Critical.
Genuity reserves the right to promote non-critical to a critical
classification based on the valid business impact of the IR and shall
notify GTEDS of the reason.
5.3 IR Escalation Process
Escalation occurs if:
. GTE or Genuity fails to acknowledge beeps within the agreed upon time.
. It is estimated that the resolution and/or work around will take longer
than can be negotiated.
. Genuity is unavailable to GTE during resolution process and
unavailability will impact GTEDS's ability to meet the customer commit
date with the resolution.
Current escalation flow from Genuity to GTE:
Page 9 of 20
1. PSS / Help Desk beeps the primary twice. If no answer...
2. PSS escalates to the secondary
3. Next level is GTE Section Manager
4. Next level is GTE Manager
5. Next level is the GTE Director
6. Next level is GTE Vice President
7. Final level is the GTE Vice President
Current escalation flow from GTE to Genuity:
1. GTE beeps twice. If no answer...
2. Next level is Genuity Section Manager
4. Next level is Genuity Manager
5. Final level is Genuity Director
GTE and Genuity will each ensure that the other has been provided an
escalation list that includes home, work and beeper numbers for pertinent
personnel.
6.0 Performance Measures and Acceptance Expectations
6.1 Timeliness of Deliverables
Deliverables are defined as those items created in the development process
that are listed in Section 4.2 and those delivered to Genuity. Examples
include but are not limited to completion of documentation and delivery of
code.
All Deliverables will be delivered on the due date documented on the
Statement of Work or approved Project Plan. If a deliverable is not
complete on the due date, GTE will use commercially reasonable efforts
necessary to expeditiously complete the Deliverable as soon as possible. If
either party requires a change to the due date of a deliverable, then they
must submit a Change Control Request to the other party as defined in the
Statement Of Work.
6.2 Acceptance Criteria of Deliverables
GTE will develop each Deliverable to meet the documented Acceptance
Criteria in the Statement Of Work. If additional Acceptance Criteria is
needed then the corresponding Acceptance Criteria will be defined as
documented in the Project Plan.
Genuity shall accept or reject each Deliverable, in writing, in the agreed
to time period documented in the Project Plan. If rejected, Genuity shall
clearly state the reason(s) for rejection. GTE shall present a suitable
correction and completion date to Genuity. GTE shall then make the
corrections and resubmit the Deliverable.
Page 10 of 20
6.3 User Acceptance Test and Warranty Support
The purpose of the Pre-production testing is to ensure that the enhancements
made to the system function in accordance with the Customer Requirements and
the High Level Design. It is also to ensure that the unmodified code and
continuing functions, logically process per the current documented
specifications.
During User Acceptance Testing, the role of GTE is to provide technical
support by executing the physical programs and technical procedures and
correcting any errors found in the coding logic. During User Acceptance Test
and Warranty, the role of GTE is to provide technical support, correct any
errors found in the coding logic, and ship the code to Genuity.
The types of Incident Requests (IRs) that can arise during the test and the
expected response time to address those IRs are documented in Attachment B.
The IR goals/targets/baselines for performance reporting have been set as
indicated below. A low number of incoming IR quantities will have a tendency
to skew the results either higher or lower on a month to month basis.
. Goal 90-100% on time resolution
. Target 85-89% on time resolution
. Baseline 80-84% on time resolution
These terms are defined as follows:
Goal - Grade of service that GTE will be striving for
Target - Grade of service that should initially be expected
Baseline - This should be the minimum quality of service provided by GTE for
resolution of IRs. When the on-time resolution percentage is in
this range, appropriate action should be taken to improve results.
6.4 Returned IR Parameters
Returned IRs are considered problem fixes that have been implemented in the
customer's environment, either in User Acceptance Test or Warranty, and Genuity
and GTE have determined that the fix did not resolve the problem described in
the IR. For returned IRs, the original IR number is used. If the returned IR
has been closed a new one is opened. Returned IR goals have been set as
indicated below. Low number of incoming IR quantities will have a tendency to
skew the results either higher of lower on a month to month basis.
. Goal 0 - 5% returned
. Target 6 - 10% returned
. Baseline 11 - 15% returned
Page 11 of 20
These terms are defined as follows:
Goal - Grade of service that GTEDS will be striving for
Target - Grade of service that should initially be expected based
Baseline - This should be the minimum quality of service provided by GTE
for resolution of IRs. When the on-time resolution percentage
is in this range, appropriate action should be taken to improve
results.
7.0 Time Reporting
GTE will provide timely and accurate time reporting of the hours expended to
complete the effort defined in the Statement Of Work. Time reported to complete
a Statement Of Work will only be shared with Genuity if the Statement Of Work
payment terms are based on time and materials.
For IRs, Time will be reported at the IR number level. Time reporting will be
created by IR containing hours by defect and non-defect IRs.
For enhancements, hours will be separated and reported by
. Requirements Support
. High Level Design and/or Support
. Detail Design
. Code / Unit Test
. System Test Support
. User Acceptance Test Support
. Warranty
8.0 Quality
GTE agrees to provide products and services to Genuity that consistently meet
the requirements defined in this agreement and related documents.
8.1 Practices and Guidelines
GTE will be using existing practices developed by GTE Information Technology as
the basis for detailed instruction/direction for IR service delivery as well as
development and enhancements. In the Information Technology Practices, standard
Quality Assurance processes for reviews, inspections, testing, etc. are defined.
As the business demands, these practices will be updated to ensure GTE is
positioned to best serve the customer.
Page 12 of 20
8.2 Quality Procedures
GTE shall adhere to rigorous Quality Control and Quality Assurance procedures to
ensure Deliverables are satisfactorily completed. GTE's Quality Control and
Quality Assurance procedures shall ensure that:
. Deliverables meet the requirements
. Deliverables are executed within the agreed time frame
. Project Deliverables have minimal defects, as defined in the acceptance
criteria, when delivered to Genuity or delivered to the next stage/activity
within the project
. Product deliverables are maintainable and can be enhanced to Genuity's
requirements
. Project statistics are collected for improvement in processes and also for
use as the historical basis for enhancing the accuracy of future estimates
9.0 Continuous Process Improvement
If a process needs to be developed or refined as a result of implementing a
Statement of Work, reporting the hours expended, or negative performance against
service levels, then a process development plan will be developed, agreed to and
executed jointly by GTE and Genuity. Upon implementation of the plan, both
parties will monitor for improvements. Either party will report at the Project
Review Meeting as soon as it is determined that these actions have corrected the
deficiencies. Either party will also report if processes are not working,
thereby causing them not to meet the terms and conditions outlined in this
agreement.

Statement of Work
Between
GTE Data Services, Inc.
And
Genuity Solutions Inc.
To Provide:
GNI Performance Management Phase III/IV;
Solution for the SONET, ATM and Frame Relay Networks
This SOW along with all attachments hereto shall be considered GTE Data
Services, Inc. Proprietary/Confidential Information
1. Management Summary
1.1. Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement for Transition Services
dated _______by and between Genuity Solutions Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE
Service Corporation and its affiliates and shall be governed by the terms
and conditions thereof. The services described herein shall be provided by
GTE Data Services Incorporated ("GTEDS") for a period of the earlier of the
date of completion of the work or December 31, 2000.
1.2. Executive Summary
Genuity desires to continue the ongoing development of a Global Network
Infrastructure Performance Management ("GNI PM") solution with GTEDS. The
GNI PM solution, as referenced herein in more detail, enables Genuity's
customers to access appropriate performance data. Genuity has determined
development of such a solution involves skill sets and core competencies
currently not internally available. Using another provider for the
development of the GNI PM solution could delay Genuity's current business
plans. Accordingly, Genuity desires to complete the work as contained herein
within the stated time frame, and GTEDS desires to continue this work during
this transition period.
2. Scope of SOW
2.1. Scope/Objective
This document describes the proposed work for the Phase III development of
new features and enhancements to TIPS, the Performance Management and SLA
validation solution deployed at GNI to measure and report on the SONET, ATM
and Frame Relay services of GNI, within the framework of Customer Service
Assurance.
Background: GTE's Global Network Infrastructure (GNI) is a state-of-the-art
network based on a nationwide SONET-192 backbone, which supplies both
switched and routed broadband data transport. It is a complex network whose
management responsibilities are shared between GNI and its customers. Figure
1 below outlines the architecture of GNI and demarcates the areas of network
management responsibility for SONET, ATM and FR segments deployed in the
Network.
Page 1 of 15
SOW - GNI Performance Management Phase III/IV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[GRAPH APPEARS HERE]
Fig. 1 Demarcation of Responsibilities in GNI
For network management purposes, Customer Premises Equipment lies wholly
within the customer's control and responsibility. The performance of the
core SONET-and-ATM network is wholly the responsibility of GNI; at Edge
Switches and at ATM and Frame Relay User-Network interfaces, there is an
overlap of responsibility between GNI and the customer (compare Figure 2,
below). That is, GNI is responsible for monitoring customer traffic at the
User-Network Interface, while the customer is responsible for incoming
traffic's satisfying the terms of the traffic contract.
Fig. 2 Overlap of GNI and Customer Responsibilities
Page 2 of 15
SOW - GNI Performance Management Phase III/IV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most explicitly, GNI will be entirely responsible for the network from the
point of UNI attachment at an Optical Point of Presence (OPOP) to the point
of exit from GNI at an OPOP, not simply from switch port to switch port.
GNI also has partial responsibility beyond the OPOP toward customer
equipment: in the case of customers whose traffic reaches the GNI network
via a LEC link, GNI will assume responsibility to monitor the intermediate
link as well.
When symptoms of performance problems surface in the network, it is
extremely difficult to determine their focus. ATM is a highly complex
technology with sophisticated traffic management schemes designed to
guarantee Quality of Service, which make troubleshooting any problem a
matter of considerable difficulty.
2.2. The Overall Problem Statement
There is for GNI, therefore, an authentic need for an effective tool or
solution capable of gathering, processing and analyzing the vast amount of
performance data that ATM, Frame Relay and SONET traffic generates, both
for its own sake and in support of Fault Management and Customer Care.
There is also a need to use this data to manage the Customer SLAs on the
various services being offered by GNI. GNI will gain market edge by not
only tracking and validating SLAs on its end-to-end ATM, Frame Relay
services, but making the Performance and SLA-Exception reports directly
available to its customers.
2.3. The Proposed Solution and Previous TIPS Deliveries
TIPS, a system built by Operations Systems Laboratory of GTE Laboratories,
has been deployed at GNI as a solution to the above posed problem of SLA
validation and Customer Services Performance Management for ATM and SONET
networks. TIPS collects performance and fault data from network management
systems (NMSs, Ascend BulkStats) and network topology information from data
warehouses (eg. Remedy, TBS) and NMSs (NavisCore, INM TM) and estimates and
reports on the customer service performance levels. Using these estimates,
TIPS is able to validate the SLAs and identify services for which customer
SLAs may not have been met.
In its current state, TIPS is in production for ATM customer services and
produces Throughput and Availability reports for circuits, PVCs, SVCs,
Trunks and Ports. It also produces delay reports for the test circuits set
up by the INQIRE system NIL. Due to unavailability of valid and clean data
from the Remedy interface, the SONET reports have not been put into
production yet.
2.4. Proposed Work for Phase III and Phase IV
The basic areas in which work will be done in Phase III and IV can be
categorized as follows:
. Interfacing with TBS, a central data repository for customer
services related information.
. Secure user/customer access to TIPS reports via a new authentication
and authorization procedure.
. Upgrade to Naviscore Jade M2.1.
. Enhancement of report presentations (more graphical, variety of
formats).
. Enhancements, including adding more statistics, configuration
information to existing reports, oversubscribed port exclusions.
. Deriving latency measurements between all pairs of ports.
Page 3 of 15
SOW - GNI Performance Management Phase III/IV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. New Customer Billing Summary report, trunk and port utilization
reports and backhaul report
. New web-based TIPS administration tools.
The goal of the Phase III/IV solution is to support and further enhance GTE
GNI's capabilities of monitoring customer network services using TIPS. The
overview of the work to be done in these phases is outlined in section 1.5. The
detailed matrix and a schedule is in the following table. It should be noted
that here Phase III means a delivery date at the end of 2Q, and Phase IV means a
delivery date at the end of 4Q.

2.5. Risks
There will be some risk of the final system not fully delivering all the
features specified in this document. This is due to the uncertainty of
certain aspects to the development, which cannot be fully assessed before
the project has started. The project will make a best effort to deliver
based on available interfaces and data, but the issues listed below may
prevent some functionality in the phase I software deliverable.
TBS Interface
In order to automatically load the customer contact information and billing
ids, the solution will need to interface with TBS in order to gather
appropriate data. This interface has not yet been fully deployed or fully
tested and may be insufficient to provide all the data required, or may
contain software bugs that otherwise cause limitations on data gathering
capabilities.
Page 6 of 15
SOW-GNI Performance Management Phase III/IV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SONET Reporting
Data for SONET needs to come from TBS and may also need to come from INM
Trail Management BB. It is unclear if this data is sufficient to allow
accurate estimates of SONET circuit performance. Another risk associated
with SONET PM is that the amount of performance data collected may impose
bandwidth requirements that exceed the bandwidth availability of the OAM&P
network. This requires further evaluation.

BIP-8 SONET BIP-8 is a single interleaved parity byte (B1) used to
provide STS-n error monitoring. BIP performs a
routine even parity check on the previous STS-1
frame. The parity is then inserted in the BIP-8 field
of the current frame. SONET relies on even parity
for its error checking calculations. During parity
checking, the first bit of the BIP-8 field is set so that
the total number of ones in the first positions of all
bytes in the previous STS frame is always an even
number. The second bit of the BIP-8 is used in
exactly the same way, except that it performs a
check on the second bit of each byte. For
concatenated frames, BIP-8 byte is defined in the
first STS-1 frame only.

1. Management Summary
1.1. Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement for Transition Services
dated _______by and between Genuity Solutions Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE
Service Corporation and its affiliates and shall be governed by the terms and
conditions thereof. The services described herein shall be provided by GTE
Data Services Incorporated ("GTEDS") for a period of the earlier of the date
of completion of the work or December 31, 2000.
1.2 Executive Summary
Genuity desires to continue the ongoing development of a Global Network
Infrastructure Integrated Testing ("GNI Integrated Testing") solution with
GTEDS. The GNI Integrated Testing solution, as referenced herein in more
detail, enables Genuity to access information regarding their network
elements and use that information for checking for circuit degradation and
for forecasting network failure. Genuity has determined development of such a
solution involves skill sets and core competencies currently not internally
available. Using another provider for the development of the GNI Integrated
Testing solution could delay Genuity's current business plans. Accordingly,
Genuity desires to complete the work as contained herein within the stated
time frame, and GTEDS desires to continue this work during this transition
period.
2. Scope of SOW
In the case of the GNI, Nortel's INM element management system already
provides alarm correlation to the level of add-drop-multiplexers within a
Sonet ring, a very valuable attribute. The focus of integrated testing would
be built on this foundation to provide end-to-end views of customer circuits,
that is, go one level up and provide correlation across the entire circuit.
At the same time, Sonet elements are rich in diagnostic capabilities, and
these could be exploited to provide specific repair recommendations in an
automated fashion. Finally, data would be accessible from the network
elements to explore circuit degradation, that is, attempt to anticipate
failures before they occur. The last topic is exploratory in that pre-emptive
detection of network failure has long been an elusive goal in the circuit
switched world and needs to be established as valuable in a packet data
network.
Page 1 of 7
SOW - GNI Integrating Testing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To this basic Sonet orientation would be added the diagnostic capabilities
of ATM switches. For this we would leverage our existing expertise in frame
relay. Diagnosis of frame relay circuits has just been prototyped in SSCFI
and will become a field capability this spring. An extension to incorporate
fault diagnosis of ATM switches is relatively straightforward and something
that we must accomplish anyway as ADSL backhaul evolves from frame to ATM
within GTE's network.
It is proposed that work proceed in three phases; requirements gathering,
prototype development and finally a fielded solution.
Phase I - Requirements
----------------------
This work requires a reasonable amount of debriefing of GNOC staff as to
the their present methodologies for performing testing when circuits and/or
circuit elements go into alarm. In an automated system, the goal is to
replicate what an experienced technician can do, not necessarily to be more
accurate than a technician but certainly to be much faster. Opportunities
for automation would be identified as would areas for fully exploiting
network element capabilities, both Sonet elements and ATM switches.
Phase II - Prototype
--------------------
The requirements phase would be followed by a design, planning and a
prototype. At this point it is not clear whether a SSCFI based
implementation with its current rule-based engine or another approach with
more modern web-based technologies would be appropriate.
Phase III - Fielded System
--------------------------
The goal is to provide a fully supported, field system. The department has
a long history of successful service assurance systems which have become
integrated into GTE's business processes. The aim would be the same for a
GNI integrated testing solution.
2.1. Dependencies
The timeline presented in this SOW is tentative and subject to receiving
the ATP according to the date in milestone 1 above. Any delays in receiving
the ATP will result in changes in the delivery dates accordingly.
High-level business needs include:
Rapid fault isolation of customer circuits.
Reduced training needs for GNOC personnel.
Enhanced network reliability.
Path for automated trouble ticket resolution.

1.1. Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement for Transition Services
dated _______by and between Genuity Solutions Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE
Service Corporation and its affiliates and shall be governed by the terms and
conditions thereof. The services described herein shall be provided by GTE
Data Services Incorporated ("GTEDS") for a period of the earlier of the date
of completion of the work or December 31, 2000.
1.2. Executive Summary
Genuity desires to continue the ongoing development of a Customer Network
Management ("CNM") solution with GTEDS. The CNM solution, as referenced
herein in more detail, enables Genuity's customers to access information
regarding their accounts. Genuity has determined development of such a
solution involves skill sets and core competencies currently not internally
available. Moving the development of the CNM solution to another provider
could delay Genuity's current business plans. Accordingly, Genuity desires to
complete the work as contained herein within the stated time frame, and GTEDS
desires to continue this work during this transition period.
2. Scope of Work
This document describes the proposed work to analyze and develop requirements
for a Customer Network Management solution that enables GNI's customers to
access information pertaining to the services purchased from GNI. This CNM
solution is expected to provide the customer information such as status of
relevant orders, services, and the network, information that is collected
and/or produced in the areas of performance, fault, and configuration
management.
The GNI infrastructure provides several services, including ATM and Private
line offerings to CLECs and other large customers. This customer-set demands
"High-Value" products and responsiveness is very important in this
relationship. Providing the customer access to key information and metrics
that relate to the services sold by GNI is critical to achieve an optimal
relationship and to earn the customers' loyalty. Such access to information
could be tiered, the lowest tier matching what our competition provides.
Premium features can then
Page 1 of 9
be charged appropriately. Another view is to organize the information
corresponding to the Network and Service domains. For example in the Service
Assurance process Network problems are reported to the Network Management
systems as Fault Information. Correlating this with the Provisioning
Information that is generated during the Fulfillment process (Provisioning
information) enables partitioning of the Fault information for a circuit or
customer. The challenge in CNM is to make available to the customer
information in a timely and secure fashion.

2.1. High Level Business Needs
Business needs include:
Order Status Review
Service Change Requests and Status
Service Level Agreement management
Usage billing management
Network capacity planning
Status of all circuits for a customer
PM, fault, and Security statistics
Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
Circuit monitoring and troubleshooting
Measurement of network availability, cell-counts, dropped cell counts,delay
Network usage information
Secured access to the information via web to the customers
2.2. Approach
The four steps to systematically define Genuity's CNM offering for private
line and ATM customers are listed below.
2.2.1 Competitive Benchmarking
This will be a "hands on" effort to learn what Genuity's private line and ATM
competitors are offering in the CNM space. We will work with GTE business
units (Genuity, GTECC) that buy private line and ATM circuits from
competitors. Through them, we gain access to competitive CNM offerings and
answer the following questions:
- What are the CNM features being offered by Genuity's private line and ATM
competitors?
- Which of these features do GTE business units find useful?
- What is the minimum set of CNM features that Genuity must support to be
viewed as having a legitimate offering in the private line and ATM market?
- What features might differentiate this new CNM offering?
Page 2 of 9
2.2.2 Information Architecture
The competitive benchmarking activity will determine what is desirable in a
CNM offering. The information architecture activity will determine what is
possible. Genuity's CNM offering for private line and ATM services will make
information that is stored in GNI's OSS's available to customers via a web
interface. For all of this information to be published, we need to know
- Which OSS manages the information to be published?
- What support does the OSS have for partitioning information by customer and
circuit, and limiting access to information by customer?
- What is the Web interface to the OSS?
There are a number of Genuity initiatives that deal with the information and
OSS's that will be involved with the CNM offering, including:
- CIA/Data Mart/Data Warehouse/EAI projects
- the Web-based interface to TBS PSR project
- the BS OE/Sales Bundling of Services projects
- the CSO infrastructure enhancements project
We will examine the OSS's that store the information to be published, as well
as related systems and initiatives, to design an overall information
architecture for the CNM offering. This includes the overall flow of
information from OSS's to customers via the CNM web site how the facilities
of each OSS are used to partition information by customer how the web
interfaces of the OSS's are used, and what new web interfaces are needed to
integrate the information.
2.2.3 GNI CNM Design
Once we know what the market wants in a CNM offering, and how much it will
cost to include various information sources, we will design the CNM offering
for private line and ATM services. This includes specifying
- what information will be included
- how the information will be organized and navigated
- the "look and feel" of the web site
- security features to ensure privacy of information
The design will include screen mock ups. The target audience for this design
is service line management for Genuity's private line and ATM services.
2.2.4 System Requirements Specification
Once service line management has approved the CNM offering, it must be
translated into a system requirements specification that will govern the
development and deployment of the CNM offering. The target audience for this
specification is the organization that will develop the CNM system.

Genuity Solutions Inc.
To Provide:
GNI Intelligent Reporting and Analysis
This SOW along with all attachments hereto shall be considered GTE Data
Services Proprietary/Confidential Information
1 Management Summary
1.1. Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement for Transition Services
dated _______by and between Genuity Solutions Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE
Service Corporation and its affiliates and shall be governed by the terms
and conditions thereof. The services described herein shall be provided by
GTE Data Services Incorporated ("GTEDS") for a period of the earlier of the
date of completion of the work or December 31, 2000.
1.2. Executive Summary
Genuity desires to continue the ongoing development of a Global Network
Infrastructure Intelligent Network Management Reporting and Analysis ("GNI
INM") solution with GTEDS. The GNI INM solution, as referenced herein in
more detail, enables Genuity to customize reports regarding network fault
and performance management data. Genuity has determined development of such
a solution involves skill sets and core competencies currently not
internally available. Using another providor for the development of the GNI
INM solution could delay Genuity's current business plans. Accordingly,
Genuity desires to complete the work as contained herein within the stated
time frame, and GTEDS desires to continue this work during this transition
period.
2. Scope of SOW
2.1. Scope/Objective:
This document describes the proposed work to analyze and develop
requirements for an Intelligent Network Management reporting and analysis
solution that enables GNI NOC network managers, administrators and planners
to obtain highly customizable historical report in the areas of fault and
performance management. The proposed solution will identify the need for
online analytical processing (OLAP) as well as data visualization of the
network status.
The GNI Network and Services: GNI is predominantly in the "Wholesale"
business, providing ATM and Private Line services to CLECs and other large
customers. GNOC is the
Page 1 of 8
SOW - GNI Intelligent Reporting and Analysis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
central facility for monitoring and controlling GNI network. GNOC keeps
track of the real-time status of the network, performing fault management
(FM) and performance management (PM) functions. It receives both alarm and
network performance data information, which requires processing, analysis,
and reporting. It's essential for GNOC to be able to have historical and
general view of the status of the network in order to provide better
service to the customers. Monitoring network not only requires monitoring
individual real-time alarms (in the case of Fault Management), but requires
NOC staff to be able to understand the network in a general sense (for
example, how the network for a particular region behaved over a certain
period of time). It's critical for GNOC staff to be able to tell what has
been going in a particular part of the network (say a region or a network
element), and how it's likely to behave in the near future. This capability
takes network-monitoring technology a step forward by introducing the
concept of general network monitoring (in contrast to individual alarm
monitoring) and the concept of network status history (in contrast to real-
time status information). The Intelligent network management reporting and
analysis study proposed in this statement of work (SOW) addresses these
problems and provides requirements for implementation of such
functionality.
High Level business needs include:
. Historical reporting and analysis on GNI network fault and performance
. Intelligent network planning
. Predicting and preventing costly faults/failures
. Expedited problem diagnosis and improve operational efficiency
. Ensured compliance with service level agreements (SLA)
. Enhanced network service offerings
. Measures for operator performance
2.2. Approach:
The five-step approach to systematically define GNI's requirements for
intelligent network management reporting and analysis are listed below. The
milestones and the level of effort are listed later. While all five steps
are listed, this SOW is only expected to apply to the first two steps.
2.2.1. Requirements Gathering:
This phase of the project involves cooperation between Genuity/GNI and GTE
and addresses the following questions:
. What business problems the product in mind is supposed to solve?
. Is a central global alarm repository a requirement?
. Level of PM and FM data correlation?
. How long does the data warehouse needs to keep information in history?
. What are the requirements for data granularity?
. Report types and categories.
. OLAP capability requirements.
. Data visualization capability requirements.
. Data warehousing performance requirements.
. Availability and scalability requirements
. Etc.
Page 2 of 8
SOW - GNI Intelligent Reporting and Analysis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2.2. Data sources and definition of interfaces:
The intelligent network management reporting and analysis data warehousing
target solution is a decision-support tool. It receives FM and PM
information from variety of data sources over a number of interfaces. This
phase of the project will identify these FM and PM data streams/sources.
Interfaces to operational systems will be defined which might include
requirements for modifications to the operational systems themselves. The
following issues will be addressed:
. What FM and PM applications are used by GNI? What are the interfaces,
data format, volume, etc?
. How do we get the data from these operational systems? Are there any
requirements for modifications to GNI PM and FM operational systems?
. Interfaces to GNI PM and FM operational systems will be defined
2.2.3. System architecture and DB schema design:
Once we are clear about where and how to get network management data
streams, the next task is to come up with a reliable and scalable system
architecture, which will meet data warehousing performance requirements.
The data warehouse database schema is to be designed in this phase.
The following components of overall system architecture and DB schema will
be considered and recommended:
. Database engine to be used for data warehouse as well as other
components of the system (i.e. reporting engine, etc.)?
. Scale of the problem
. Application hardware
. Network bandwidth and metrics requirements.
. Data compression requirements.
. Define and recommend an optimal overall application and reporting
subsystem architecture.
. Data warehouse schema design - determine fact tables and dimension
tables, determine indexes to build, determine partition strategy, etc.
2.2.4. User Interface Design:
After the system architecture and database schema have been determined, GTE
Labs needs to work closely with GNI to design the web based user interface
and develop mockup screens as part of overall Intelligent Reporting and
Analysis application. This phase of the project has the following tasks:
. Identify all reports that GNI would like to have
. Identify required commercial of the shelf (COTS) software components.
. Determine the "look and feel" and develop mock up screens.
2.2.5. System Requirements Specification:
Once GNI management has approved proposed XXX architecture and
functionality it must be translated into a system requirements
specification that will govern the development and deployment of
Intelligent Reporting and Analysis capability for GNI. The target audience
for this specification is the organization that will develop the XXX
application.

And
Genuity Solutions Inc.
To Provide:
SiteRadar Project
This SOW along with all attachments hereto shall be considered GTE Data
Services Proprietary/Confidential Information
1. Management Summary
1.1. Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement for Transition Services
dated _______by and between Genuity Solutions Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE
Service Corporation and its affiliates and shall be governed by the terms
and conditions thereof. The services described herein shall be provided by
GTE Data Services Incorporated ("GTEDS") for a period of the earlier of the
date of completion of the work or December 31, 2000.
1.2. Executive Summary
Genuity desires to continue the ongoing development of an end-to-end
response time measurement tool ("SiteRadar") solution with GTEDS. The
development, as referenced herein in more detail, enables Genuity to
determine network response times end-to-end to determine if service level
commitments are being met. Genuity has determined development of such a
solution involves skill sets and core competencies currently not internally
available. Using another provider for the development of the solution could
delay Genuity's current business plans. Accordingly, Genuity desires to
complete the work as contained herein within the stated time frame, and
GTEDS desires to continue this work during this transition period.
2. Scope of SOW
2.1. Business Needs
Genuity requires tools to measure the end-to-end quality of the services
being provided customer, particularly when quantitative service level
agreements are involved. In addition, it needs diagnostic tools that can
identify and isolate problems either after they have been reported or,
preferably, prior to being perceived by customers. This includes the need
for a tool able to measure the response time of Web sites hosted by Genuity
and distinguish the contributions of networks, servers, and cache systems to
the download time. Such a tool would measure the response time of Web
hosting customers as perceived by end-users. If placed at locations within
the Genuity network, it could also be used as a diagnostic tool to identify
problems. The tool should provide the duration of relevant events such as
redirect times and component loading times. It is very important that the
tool be completely under the control of Genuity so that it can be customized
and used to Genuity's requirements and all the raw data is available for
analysis by any method Genuity determines.
Page 1 of 9
SOW-SiteRadar Project
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2. Approach
Solution Capabilities
GTEDS will work with Genuity to develop SiteRadar, a tool for measuring the
performance of Web sites. SiteRadar will enable Genuity to both measure Web
site download times as perceived by end-users, and also distinguish the
effects on performance of networks and servers. It will also be a tool for
the evaluation and tuning of cache systems with the potential for real-time
operation if needed.
The high-level architecture for SiteRadar is shown in Figure 1. The major
components are:- Remote agents that issue requests against the Web sites to
be tested and measure the response times. - -- The remote agents can be
located at any geographic location inside or outside of Genuity's network.-
A master agent that configures the remote agents (e.g., sets URLs to be
tested and testing schedules), collects the data from the remote agents, and
stores the data in a database.- A relational database for storing the
measurements.- A reporting engine that provides user-configured reports via
a Web browser client.The capabilities of SiteRadar include:
- Remote measurement agents can be located outside Genuity network to
determine response seen by end-users.- Remote measurement agents can be
located inside Genuity network (e.g., POPs, data centers) to isolate effects
due to other networks, segments of Genuity's network, and servers.-
Measurements include total download time as well as the duration of
significant events such as times to download individual components of page.-
Potential for real-time operation to diagnose or correct problems.- Data are
stored in a database and are available for any analysis methodology.- Web
client is used for viewing reports.-Report can be configured by users.
Four types of reports are currently available:
Time History - Response time plotted for a specified duration of time
Performance by Agent - Response time measured by each remote agent
Component Graph - Time to download each page componentSite Availability -
Percentage of time Web site is in possible states
Solution Development Process
----------------------------
A prototype of SiteRadar has already been developed and can be used to
gather user feedback and requirements for the production system. GTEDS
proposes a phased development process in which successive versions of
SiteRadar will add new functionality. This approach reduces time risk by
providing the highest priority features in a short period of time, and
reduces functionality risk by allowing the evaluation of a working system to
drive the next set of capabilities. The phased development process will be
highly interactive with Genuity owners and users of SiteRadar in order to
provide the feedback and priorities needed for successive versions of the
tool.
In the first phase, GTEDS will provide Genuity both a working prototype of
SiteRadar for evaluation together with a draft requirements document
containing prospective features for version 1.0 of the production system.
Based upon its priorities and assessment of the prototype, Genuity and GTEDS
will jointly determine the final requirements for version 1.0.
In the second phase, version 1.0 of the production system, containing
additional critical functions, will be developed and deployed at an agreed
upon date in early 2Q2000. In
Page 2 of 9
SOW-SiteRadar Project
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
subsequent phases GTEDS will provide enhancements adding capabilities
according Genuity's priorities.
Genuity will provide the production machines and will purchase the
appropriate third party software licenses (e.g., Xxxxxxx ColdFusion) needed
for deployment.
Project Activities
Requirements Gathering
----------------------
GTEDS has developed a working prototype and prepared a preliminary list of
requirements for SiteRadar. Genuity and GTEDS will collaboratively finalize
the requirements for the production version. Genuity has the option to use
and evaluate the prototype to provide input to the requirements gathering
activity or for any special projects that may occur prior to the
availability of the production system. The requirements will be used for
detailed system design and project planning.
Software Development
--------------------
The master and remote clients for the prototype system are written in Java
for platform independence. The remote clients will be built to closely
emulate the behavior of standard Web browsers. Oracle is used for the
database and ColdFusion is used to generate dynamic pages for the reporting
engine. A conventional Web browser serves as both the reporting and
administrative client. This approach has been successful for the prototype
but can be changed if Genuity has special requirements. GTEDS will generate
detailed technical specifications based upon the requirements, design and
develop the production version of SiteRadar, and test it for compliance with
the requirements.
Project Planning
----------------
The SiteRadar project will be undertaken by the Operations Systems
Laboratory (OSL) of GTEDS. OSL development projects use an internal software
development process called TopGun to improve software quality and
development efficiency. TopGun requires that all major phases of the
development process be documented and reviewed.
Statement of Work
Phase 1 - Prototype Evaluation and Requirements Gathering
---------------------------------------------------------
Phase 1 contains the following deliverables:
GTEDS will provide Genuity a draft requirements document for version 1.0 of
SiteRadar no later than February 18, 2000.
GTEDS will provide Genuity a working prototype of SiteRadar for evaluation
purposes no later than March 6, 2000.
Genuity and GTEDS will jointly produce a requirements document for version
1.0 of SiteRadar no later than March 27, 2000.
If Genuity requires immediate use of the prototype for special projects, it
will be provided in its current state of functionality anytime on or after
February 18, 2000.
GTEDS will provide user training and evaluation sessions as needed for the
prototype.

operation of specified functionality, and deliver it to Genuity.
GTEDS will provide documentation for SiteRadar, including a User Guide and
an Administration Guide.
GTEDS will provide user and administrator training as needed for SiteRadar
version 1.0.
Subsequent Phases - Ongoing Support, Enhancements, Upgrades and Releases
------------------------------------------------------------------------
GTEDS will provide enhancements to Side Radar based on feedback from users
and additional capabilities identified as important by Genuity. GTEDS will
attempt to provide new functionality in incremental updates if this is
advantageous to Genuity and can be accommodated by the development team. One
or more subsequent phases will occur in 2H2000. The schedule of
enhancements, upgrades, and releases will be mutually determined based on
the priorities identified by Genuity after requirements are finalized.

1. Management Summary
1.1. Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement for Transition Services
dated _______by and between Genuity Solutions Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE
Service Corporation and its affiliates and shall be governed by the terms
and conditions thereof. The services described herein shall be provided by
GTE Data Services Incorporated ("GTEDS") for a period of the earlier of the
date of completion of the work or December 31, 2000.
1.2. Executive Summary
Genuity desires to continue the ongoing development of a network capacity
planing, routing and data mining ("IP Modeling") solution with GTEDS. The
development, as referenced herein in more detail, further enables Genuity
to provision network connections using extensions of current network
capacity planning and routing tools. Genuity has determined development of
such a solution involves skill sets and core competencies currently not
internally available. Using another provider for the development of the IP
Modeling solution could delay Genuity's current business plans.
Accordingly, Genuity desires to complete the work as contained herein
within the stated time frame, and GTEDS desires to continue this work
during this transition period.
2. Scope of SOW
2.1. Scope/Objective
The work to be performed under this SOW can be broken down into two parts:
directly linked, and complementary, to earlier contracts already in place
for BART 3.x, and SCPT Phase 1 delivery, and needed to ensure that both
BART and SCPT continue to evolve as the technology and business practices
in GNI evolve.
Page 1 of 9
SOW - Modeling for IP, ATM, SONET/DWDM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1.1. BART 3.x related work
The short-term effort under this SOW concentrates on developing the
required functionality in the following two areas that are planned for 4/00
and 7/00 releases.
. Expanded failure analysis.
. Capacity modeling and routing for SVCs.
The more forward looking areas will deal with new and alternative means of
trunk provisioning that GNI plans to evaluate and possibly use, such as:
ATM over DWDM, ATM trunk routing on protection channels of SONET rings. It
will also study the potential benefits of integrating SCPT (SONET planning
system) with BART. The output of this work will be incorporated in later
releases of BART.
Short-term
. Development of new analytical models of Ascend failure restoration
processes based on bandwidth and bumping priorities. The new models
will address circuit rerouting based on bandwidth and bumping
priorities as defined in a circuit record and will allow negative
bandwidth trunks for non-real time circuits with 0 bumping priority
(see NavisCore ATM Configuration Guide, Priority Routing, Appendix E).
This is intended to go into BART 3.0 (Expanded failure analysis)
. A new set of models will also be developed for SVC planning module.
These models will address the stochastic nature of SVC traffic in a
manner similar to those in place for planning the PSTN. This is
intended to go into BART 3.1 (Capacity modeling and routing for SVC
circuits)
. Development of a new restoration algorithm that can analyze very
complex network behavior during restoration in a reasonable amount of
time. The problem to overcome here is a domino-like effect of bumping
the lower priority circuits to accommodate the higher priority ones
(Expanded failure analysis)
. Developing models and algorithms for building traffic matrices from
historical billing data for SVC service (Capacity Modeling and routing
for SVCs).
Next steps
. Development of new modeling, evaluation and optimization methods for
cost-effective ATM trunk provisioning directly over DWDM systems.
Modeling DWDM protection methods and their interaction with ATM
restoration methods. Extending BART failure analysis to include the
described interactions.
. Developing new evaluation methods for ATM trunk provisioning using
SONET protection channels. Modeling link failures and their impact on
ATM circuits. Extending BART failure analysis to include the described
impacts.
. Study the benefits of integration of BART with SCPT. This capability
will provide a two-way communication between the tools. Anticipated
benefits to BART users include ability to automatically populate BART
databases by using the up-to-date data on SONET and optical layers and
ATM trunk provisioning on them. Anticipated benefits to SCPT users is
the ability to extract from BART planned trunks, thus providing more
accurate demand, usage and routing information for ATM traffic.
Page 2 of 9
SOW - Modeling for IP, ATM, SONET/DWDM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCPT Phase 1 & 2 related work
The short term concentrates on:
. Analysis and design phases for the routing and demand segmentation
features (Phase 1)
. Analysis and design phases for automated methods to update baseline
network description and inventory data. In Phase 1 this is a manual
step but automated methods will be critical to ensure accuracy of the
baseline network picture in SCPT. The work would include analysis of
data interface capabilities to bring system configuration and
connectivity information from Nortel's Data Mining/SONET Planner Tool
to SCPT, as well as the possibility of a data feed from Smallworld
(Phase 2).
. Design and evaluate methods to make relevant capacity information
easily accessible to other parts of the organization. This would
include web-enabled information/report publishing and sharing (Phase
2).
Next steps
The more forward-looking work will focus on:
. modeling requirements to accommodate DWDM planning and circuit
provisioning directly on DWDM layer
. changes required to SCPT design and data model to support circuit
routing on SONET protection channels, for example ATM circuits routed
over SONET protection capacity
. assessment of the potential methods and benefits of integrating SCPT
with BART (see BART write-up above)
. analysis and design of data interface capabilities to bring network
usage data from TBS to SCPT. Also develop requirements to reconcile
existing SCPT demand records and TBS records.
. more advanced demand routing algorithms that focus on load balancing,
or other criteria.

To Provide:
Genuity Spam Fingerprinting Plan
This SOW along with all attachments hereto shall be considered GTE Data
Services, Inc. Proprietary/Confidential Information
1. Management Summary
1.1. Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement for Transition Services
dated _______by and between Genuity Solutions Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE
Service Corporation and its affiliates and shall be governed by the terms
and conditions thereof. The services described herein shall be provided by
GTE Data Services Incorporated ("GTEDS") for a period of the earlier of the
date of completion of the work or December 31, 2000.
1.2. Executive Summary
Genuity desires to continue the ongoing development of a tool ("SpamCheck")
to parse complaints regarding unsolicited e-mail ("spam") from other
complaints. The development, as referenced herein in more detail, further
enables Genuity to handle a number of e-mail complaints received among
which include complaints regarding spam. Genuity has determined development
of such a solution involves skill sets and core competencies currently not
internally available. Using another provider for the development of the
SpamCheck tool could delay Genuity's current business plans. Accordingly,
Genuity desires to complete the work as contained herein within the stated
time frame, and GTEDS desires to continue this work during this transition
period.
2. Scope of SOW
2.1. Business Needs:
Genuity Customer Service Center (CSC) employs full-time staff to analyze
and respond to a large volume of complaints that involve Genuity's
customers and/or network. More than 30,000 email complaints per month are
received. Each complaint requires review, logging, trouble ticket review,
correlation with other complaints, response to the complainant,
categorization, validation, distribution to appropriate staff, and
resolution. CSC has developed an effective manual process for handling
email complaints, but the volume of complaints is large and growing. Hence
a tool for automating a significant portion of the manual process is
needed. Since the majority of complaints involve the use of Genuity's
network for delivering unsolicited email or spam, the tool development
focuses on spam complaint processing.
Page 1 of 11
SOW - Spam Fingerprinting Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2. Approach:
Genuity CSC developed a set of requirements for a spam "fingerprinting"
system in June 1998. It has also documented a set of manual procedures used
to process and classify spam. It has a large set of archived spam
complaints that are available for use in system design and testing. Based
on these procedures and samples, GTEDS has created a prototype system
called SpamCheck(TM). The SpamCheck prototype retrieves email from a POP
server, parses the email to extract the critical identification features,
stores both the raw and extracted information in a relational database, and
provides a web interface for reviewing the results and performing queries
against the database. In preliminary testing, approximately 1000 sample
spam complaints have been processed by the system. This prototype has been
presented to CSC personnel and has been useful in clarifying some of the
functional requirements. A detailed requirements document is being prepared
jointly by Genuity and GTEDS, and will be used for more detailed project
planning.
Due to the pressing backlog of spam complaints, there is an immediate need
to deploy a subset of the required functionality. GTEDS plans to configure
a version of the prototype that has only known functional features enabled
during the month of February. This prototype may not correctly parse all
spam complaints because of the many variations of email forwarding and
embedding--and in some cases mail header corruption--that occur in
practice. At least until a fully-tested version 1 is released, an 80-20
coverage rule will be the processing target, i.e., the system should handle
the majority of the "easy" cases and postpone the special case processing
until the majority cases are fully handled.

Run Utilities top
---
There are several common utilities used to trace the route of a Spam
message or locate the domain or IP address of its sender. For the best
results, it is advisable to run several utilities because they may have
access to different databases. By running more than one utility, you can
verify the Spam sender address more reliably, and on occasion, if one
utility does not locate the Spammer, the other utility may be more
successful.
The following utilities are provided with SpamCheck:
nslookup top
---
Nslookup is a program to query Internet domain name servers. Nslookup
has two modes: inter-active and non-interactive. Interactive mode
allows the user to query name servers for information about various
hosts and domains or to print a list of hosts in a domain.
Non-interactive mode is used to print just the name and requested
information for a host or domain.
traceroute top
---
The traceroute output shows the different "hops" an IP message took to
reach its destination. Each route the message crosses is referred to
as a hop.
DIG top
---
The main functional areas of SpamCheck include:
1.0 Email retrieval: Automatic retrieval of email complaints from a
POP server
2.0 Email Distribution: Differentiating non-spam related complaints
and forwarding these to another email address
3.0 Parsing and extraction: parsing of the email into at least three
pieces: 1) internal tracking header and body, 2) complainant
header and body, 3) spam sample header and body. Each of these
pieces is further parsed to extract specific fields that are
needed for analysis
Page 2 of 11
SOW - Spam Fingerprinting Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.0 Trouble ticketing: each complaint needs to be associated with
either an existing or new trouble ticket. Genuity uses the
Vantive trouble ticketing system today, and an interface between
SpamCheck and Vantive will be needed.
5.0 Analysis utilities: additional information about the spam source
may be gathered as needed by automatically invoking utilities
such as traceroute, nslookup, whois, and dig. Other utilities
include remote host clock validation and hex internet address
conversion.
6.0 Storage: Both the raw and extracted information needs to be
stored in a database. Information gathered by utilities should
also be stored in the database
7.0 Classification Rules: A set of rules is used to categorize the
spam and determine how it should be resolved and what response
to the complainant should be sent.
8.0 Presentation and Query Web Interface: The results of spam
complaint processing will be presented through a web interface,
and the ability to query the database will be provided.
9.0 Workflow: Each spam complaint involves a number of user
processing steps. The system will track progress and provide a
user interface that fits the sequence of tasks that the spam
analyst performs.
10.0 Administration: Facilities for supporting installation,
configuration, backup, extensions to certain parameters
(keywords, categories), form letters, etc. will be provided
through a web interface. The administrative interface also
includes a regression testing capability.
11.0 Online documentation: user and administrative documentation will
be available through web pages.
Genuity will provide the on-site test and deployment machines
and will purchase the appropriate third party software (e.g.,
Xxxxxxx ColdFusion) licenses needed for deployment. Genuity will
administer and manage the on-site equipment. Labs will work
closely with Genuity to insure successful deployment and use of
the system.
2.3. Project Activities:
. Requirements Gathering:
Genuity CSC developed a set of requirements for a spam "fingerprinting"
system in June 1998. It has also documented a set of manual procedures used
to process and classify spam. It has a large set of archived spam
complaints that are available for use in system design and testing. Based
on these procedures and samples, Labs has created a prototype system called
SpamCheck(TM). A detailed requirements document is being prepared jointly
by Genuity and GTEDS, and will be used for detailed project planning.
Further requirements may be identifies as user feedback from system use is
obtained.
. Software Development
The prototype system has validated the use of ColdFusion web server and
Oracle database. The software for the system is currently a combination of
Perl, Java, and ColdFusion scripts.
. Testing
There are thousands of samples to select test cases from. Developing a set
of test cases that provide reasonable coverage over the thousands of spam
complaints is an ongoing issue. Creating a definitive set of test cases is
a prerequisite for developing a quantitative performance metric for the
system. We have instrumented the prototype to provide a
Page 3 of 11
SOW - Spam Fingerprinting Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
regression test facility for the parsing and extraction modules so that
test cases can be stored in the database and used to validate upgrades to
the system.
. Deployment
CSC has provided an NT machine for deploying the prototype. The use of this
machine for production will need evaluation. During the prototype
deployment, Labs will perform integration with the POP server,
installation, and configuration. In subsequent releases, a streamlined
installation script may be provided.
. User Evaluation
As spam analysts gain experience with the system, Labs expects to collect
feedback on functionality, ease of use, bugs, test cases, etc. in order to
improve the system.
. Support
Labs plans to have the development team perform the support function until
the SpamCheck system has been completed. After that, the Operations Systems
Laboratory has a support team and in the long term a maintenance agreement
with the OSL support team can be arranged.
. Integration
The primary integration work anticipated is with Vantive, to permit
SpamCheck to retrieve existing tickets and create a new ticket if
necessary. Integration with Vantive requires the review and approval of the
Genuity IS organization.
. Project Planning
OSL development projects use an internal software development process
called TopGun, which covers the entire software lifecycle. The purpose of
the TopGun process is to improve software quality and development
efficiency.

2.5. Milestone Schedule:
Phase 1
We propose a delivery date of the prototype as soon as possible, but
by February 28, 2000 at the latest. The prototype has the following
limitations:
. does not perform categorization
. no automated distribution function
. may not extract all fields correctly
. the query interface will be present
. dig may not be available
. no integration with Vantive
GTEDS (through its subcontractor) has integrated a regression
testing facility and plans to collect test cases during phase 1.
Page 5 of 11
SOW - Spam Fingerprinting Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Labs expects the review of the detailed requirements document to be
completed during phase 1. There will be user training and evaluation
sessions as needed for the prototype.
Phase 2 - Release of SpamCheck Version 1.0
Delivery dates for Phase 2 will be based upon Genuity priorities,
but will be in 2Q2000. We will attempt to provide new functionality
in incremental updates if this has advantages to Genuity and can be
accommodated by the development team.
. Version 1.0 will be a fully functional system delivered sometime
in 2Q2000 including:
. categorization
. distribution
. partial population of the regression testing facility
. the 20% special parsing/categorization cases will be deferred
based on priorities set by Genuity
Integration with Vantive is unlikely in this version.
Phase 3 - Ongoing Support, Enhancements, Upgrades and Releases
This phase will include the Vantive integration, which depends on
appropriate arrangements with Genuity IS. These arrangements will be
coordinated by Genuity CSC. We propose a 2H00 timeframe for phase 3.
We expect to do further enhancements to the system based on feedback
from users and increased number of test cases that will be run
through the system.
The schedule of enhancements, upgrades, and releases will be
mutually determined based on the priorities identified by Genuity
after requirements are finalized.
2.6. Change Control
Genuity, using the Change Control Request Form in Attachment C,
can request changes to this Statement Of Work. The form is completed by the
requesting party and submitted to the corresponding contact in the other
organization for evaluation and/or approval. If approved, the Change
Control Request Form is then sent to the Commercial Services Contract

Statement of Work
Between
GTE Data Services, Inc.
And
Genuity Solutions Inc.
To Provide:
Enhancements for BART 3.0
This SOW along with all attachments hereto shall be considered GTE Data
Services Proprietary/Confidential Information
1. Management Summary
1.1. Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement for Transition Services
dated _______by and between Genuity Solutions Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE
Service Corporation and its affiliates and shall be governed by the terms
and conditions thereof. The services described herein shall be provided by
GTE Data Services Incorporated ("GTEDS") for a period of the earlier of the
date of completion of the work or December 31, 2000.
1.2. Executive Summary
Genuity desires to continue the ongoing development of enhancements for
network capacity planning ("BART") with GTEDS. The development, as
referenced herein in more detail, further enables Genuity to reroute
circuits owing to data traffic and bandwidth commitments. Genuity has
determined that continued development of BART involves skill sets and core
competencies currently not internally available. Moving the continuation of
BART development to another provider could delay Genuity's current business
plans. Accordingly, Genuity desires to complete the work as contained
herein within the stated time frame, and GTEDS desires to continue this
work during this transition period.
2. Scope of SOW
2.1. Scope/Objective:
Expanded failure analysis
Overview : A new version of the tool will expand failure analysis
capabilities to include the following cases of failures:
. Circuit rerouting based on bumping and bandwidth priorities
. Link (layer 1)
. Front (processor) card (layer 2)
. Node (layer 1)
. Catastrophic failure (simultaneous failures of all NE in the same
location)
Failure analysis functions
Page 1 of 9
SOW - Enhancements for BART 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Circuit rerouting based on bumping and bandwidth priorities
BART 2.1 restoration algorithm does not take into consideration circuit
bandwidth and bumping priorities when performing restoration of failed
circuits treating all circuits as if they have the same priorities. A new
version of the failure analysis algorithm will perform circuit rerouting
based on these priorities thus modeling Ascend restoration process
including negative bandwidth trunks for non-real time circuits with 0
bumping priority (see [1]) in a more precise manner.
Link failure analysis
The tool will study the impact of simultaneous failures of all links
between two locations. Only the links that are not SONET protected will
assume to fail. Failure of unprotected links will affect the trunks that
are routed through at least one of these links. BART will use two sources
of information to find the routes:
. TRUNK ROUTE EXCEPTION table that specifies the route directly.
. Default (minimum length route) for the trunks that are not in TRUNK
ROUTE EXCEPTION table
Simultaneous link failure will be modeled as a simultaneous failure of all
the affected trunks.
Front card failure analysis:
The tool will study the impact of front card failures on trunks as follows:
. For each slot (one-to-one correspondence is assumed between slots and
processor cards) on each switch the tool will find all trunks that are
not inter-card protected.
. Front card failure will be modeled as a simultaneous failure of all
these trunks.
Layer 1 node failure analysis:
The tool will study the impact of individual node failures. The following
cases will be considered:
a) a node is a part of a system that is not a BLSR ring. Node failure is
modeled as simultaneous failures of its adjacent links.
b) a node is a part of a BLSR ring and the node is not interconnected with
other systems. Node failure is modeled as a failure of all layer 2
switches connected to the node.
c) a node is a part a BLSR ring and the node is interconnected with another
system using matched node protected t-link. Failure of the node is
modeled as a failure of all layer 2 switches connected to the node.
d) a node is a part a BLSR ring; the node is interconnected with another
system using unprotected t-link. Modeled as a failure of all layer 2
switches connected to the node plus all trunks using unprotected t-link.
Catastrophic POP failure impact analysis:
This failure is modeled as a simultaneous failure of all switches and nodes
collocated in a given location.
SVC enhancement
Description: SVC's will necessitate additional work to support Capacity
Planning. Currently BART calculates the equivalent bandwidth of each PVC
and then uses OSPF routing to
Page 2 of 9
SOW - Enhancements for BART 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
determine if the circuit can be routed over ATM trunks during normal and
failure situations. If PVCs are like private circuits, SVCs are like phone
calls, and the impact of SVCs on our network have to be handled like phone
calls, using projections based on historic measurements. To get historic
measurements it will be required that the billing system be able to provide
a file of information to the BART server with the following elements in
each record for each completed call;
. From/to Switch CLLI/LPort
. From/to Date/Time
. A-Z/Z-A CoS/PCR/SCR/MBS/MCR
Using the tool the user will be able to perform the following functions:
analyze SVC billing data, convert them into bandwidth equivalent PVC
circuits, and reserve equivalent bandwidth in the GNI ATM cloud for SVCs.

1. Management Summary
1.1. Introduction
This Statement of Work is appended to the Agreement for Transition Services
dated _______by and between Genuity Solutions Inc. ("Genuity") and GTE
Service Corporation and its affiliates and shall be governed by the terms
and conditions thereof. The services described herein shall be provided by
GTE Data Services Incorporated ("GTEDS") for a period of the earlier of the
date of completion of the work or December 31, 2000.
1.2. Executive Summary
Genuity desires to continue the ongoing deployment of a network routing
simulation ("IP Modeling") solution with GTEDS. The deployment, as
referenced herein in more detail, further enables Genuity to simulate
network routing to obtain need data to better understand their network
operations. Genuity has determined deployment of such a solution involves
skill sets and core competencies currently not internally available. Using
another provider for the deployment of the IP Modeling solution could delay
Genuity's current business plans. Accordingly, Genuity desires to complete
the work as contained herein within the stated time frame, and GTEDS
desires to continue this work during this transition period.
2. Scope of Work
2.1. New Functionality
2.1.1 Data processing and import/export capabilities to support Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx'x demand routing simulation and to perform required computations
for the subsequent "Network Segment Fill Analysis".
2.1.2 Analyze, design, and develop Demand Segmentation features. (Ref: GNI
CP requirements DF28, DF15, DF16, DF18, DF19, and DF21) The goal of these
requirements is to automatically process each raw demand into pieces for
layers 1A, 1B, and/or 2, and to provide appropriate homing arrangements.

5. Problem Reporting and Management
5.1 Problem Reporting Procedures
The Genuity telephones the National SAP Support Center (NSSC) at
(000) 000-0000 to report all problems. The NSSC provides support
Monday through Friday from 07:00 to 19:00 Central Time except for
GTE defined holidays. All problems reported are documented in the
standard trouble-tracking tool, INFOMAN.
After hours, weekends and holidays calls are routed to the GTE
National Support Center (NSC) for first level problem resolution
and dispatch if necessary. All calls are documented in the
standard trouble-tracking tool, INFOMAN. Upon receiving the call,
the NSC records the problem and begins troubleshooting based on
the severity level as shown in the table below.
The NSC tries to resolve problems on first touch. If the NSC
dispatches a problem to another support provider, it nevertheless
continues to manage the problem until it is resolved. The support
group responding to the problem will negotiate a resolve-by date
and time. Elapsed repair time begins when a problem is reported
to GTE NSC and ends when it is resolved.
The goal of the GTE NSC is to answer business partner calls as
quickly as possible and to resolve as many problems as possible
at the NSC level. Responsiveness is measured by the Automated
Call Distribution (ACD) system. Monthly reports are available
upon request.
5.2 Response to Problem/Severity Codes
All problems reported by SAP R/3 users or support personnel will
be logged into the problem tracking system and will be identified
as incidents. Severity Levels for all problems/incidents will be
established by the problem reporter based upon business
requirement demands. The following table outlines support
response guidelines by severity level:
Page 3 of 27
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in place.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: During the initial investigation of a critical problem,
helpdesk support staff may be responsible for contacting the user
to acknowledge SAP support is working the issue.
Automated escalation timeframes are defined and managed in the
GTE Trouble System Contact DataBase (TSCDB). If the primary on-
call person does not respond to a page in 30 minutes, he is paged
a second time, and a 15-minute wait period takes place. If there
is no response, the secondary on-call support person gets paged
similarly twice, at 15-minute intervals. If there is still no
response, the SAP Crisis Manager will be contacted. At any time,
the business partner can manually escalate a problem by calling
the NSC.
5.3 IR Resolution/Customer Commitment Dates
When an Incident Report (IR) is submitted, the SAP support team
will contact the customer according to the requirements outlined
in section 5.2. Customer commitment dates for IR resolution will
be negotiated using the following guidelines:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Disaster Recovery
Disaster recovery planning is intended to protect a company's
business processes during an extended period of system
unavailability. Under the terms of this service level, the
Genuity SAP R/3 system will be recovered at the hotsite within 4
days of a catastrophic disaster declaration. The Shared Service
Center in Coppell, TX will be maintained as the recovery hotsite.
Recovery would be accomplished using the most recent backup tapes
available in off-site storage. The disaster recovery plan for the
data processing recovery will be maintained and updated by
National SAP Support Center personnel. Annual disaster recovery
simulations will be conducted to ensure the validity of all
recovery plans.
Genuity personnel will be responsible for identifying interim
business procedures to be used in the event of a major disaster.
These procedures will be used during the timeframe the production
system recovery is underway.
Genuity personnel will be responsible for developing and
maintaining appropriate business continuity plans.
7. Minor Enhancements
For non-IR related work, as described in section 4.1 of Appendix
A, the customer has requested a pool of hours be established for
minor enhancement requests. The intent of these hours is to
provide for quick turn around on small requests without going
through the formal statement of work process required for larger
development and enhancement projects. Examples of the types of
requests that might flow through this pool are: ad hoc business
reports, new reports, changes to existing reports, minor
enhancements, or ad hoc technical analysis reporting.
Page 5 of 27
7.1 Initiating a Request
To achieve optimal use for these hours, a list of approved
requesters will be filed with the NSSC. All requests will flow
through the SLA account management focal point. The SLA focal
point will provide the requestor with an estimate within two (2)
business days outlining the hours required to complete the
request. The estimate will be a full process estimate for all SAP
resource groups required to fulfill the request. Work will not
begin until approval from the requestor is received.
7.2 Tracking of Hours
The minor enhancement pool hours will be tracked and accounted
for separately, so the customer can determine usage. Resource
charges will be billed on a time and materials basis at the rates
specified in the contract.
Page 6 of 27
8. Performance
8.1 Measures
This section of the SLA contains specific performance objectives,
which are to be used for the SAP R/3 production environments. The
National SAP Support Center will monitor these metrics to ensure
these objectives, performance standards, and cost expectations
are being met.

GTEDS will perform the services requested in a Statement Of Work
with the intention of meeting the service level objectives
outlined in this Service Level Agreement. GTEDS will provide
monthly reporting against each service level to Genuity. Each
service level will have a target range of performance. These
terms are defined as follows:
Goal - Grade of service that NSSC will be striving for
Target - Grade of service that should initially be
expected
Page 7 of 27
Baseline - Grade of service that will require
investigation, an action plan and
improvement to at least the target level.
If GTEDS's performance falls to the baseline more than two
(2) consecutive months or two months in the previous six (6)
months, GTEDS will, as part of the standard service
offering, conduct an investigation into cause of the service
problem. GTEDS will present an action plan within in thirty
(30) days that corrects the GTEDS's performance to the
target level. Correction to the target must be completed
within thirty (30) days after the plan is presented and
mutually agreed to.
Each of the performance measures listed in the table above
is defined in the paragraphs that follow.
8.1.1 System Availability
It is expected that GTEDS will make every effort to meet the
stated performance standards for system availability. The
percentage of scheduled time the system is available will be
tracked and reported in the standard performance reports.
Exceptions to the above measures are as follows:
. Downtime caused by customer will not be reflected in the
downtime statistics
. Network outages caused by the Genuity network provider will
not be reflected in the downtime statistics
System availability is defined as the accessibility of the
hardware and system software residing at the GTE facility. The
system is considered available if a customer-authorized user
can access it in order to carry out the desired business
function. GTEDS responsibility will be limited only to
monitoring, managing and trouble diagnosis of those network
elements for which it has direct control.
8.1.2 Unplanned Outages
An unscheduled outage is defined as any period of time in which
the system is unavailable during scheduled operational hours.

6.0 Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP)
Any disaster which strikes a data processing or business
facility will produce serious effects on the business, the
service provider, and customers of the service or business.
The time required to return to normal operations following a
disaster depends upon establishment, maintenance, testing,
and execution of well organized and effective recovery
plans. Disaster Recovery Planning is a business issue to be
addressed via a team effort requiring participation of the
providers of the service, the users of the service, the
functional owners of the systems, and other appropriate
departments.
6.1 Business Recovery
Plans, implements, and operates business-justified levels of
protection/recoverability for critical business processes
and enablers in the event of a disaster at any critical work
site. The balancing of protection and recovery costs versus
exposure risk is at the heart of the process. In this
manner, it is assured that appropriate, business-justified,
affordable, and effective measures are in place should a
disaster strike any critical work site.
Planning for recovery of business process sites assumes that
such sites have been adversely affected by some event and
that the functions normally performed at that site must be
assumed in another location. Such planning assumes that
personnel resources may also be unavailable. Due to the
geographic and operational variations for each site plan, a
plan is required for each individual business site.
6.2 Data Processing Recovery
Identifies critical business requirements for disaster
recovery of individual application systems and classifies
the application system based on the identified recovery time
requirements. Research is then performed to identify a
business-justified, cost-effective disaster recovery
solution strategy that satisfies the required recovery
timeframe and all other identified business requirements.
Disaster recovery solution strategies may include any or a
combination of the following recovery strategies:
a. Vendor hotsite recovery hardware strategy
b. Internal GTEDS recovery hardware strategy
c. Quick-ship recovery hardware strategy at vendor hotsite
or internal GTEDS location
d. Recovery hardware identified, obtained, and installed
to be used at the time of a disaster
Recovery strategies form the basis for the development,
implementation, and testing of an application system
disaster recovery plan, which includes:
a. Notification and mobilization of required personnel
b. Detailed listing of data files backed up and stored
offsite
c. Documented infrastructure requirements such as
platform, operating system, layered software, network,
etc.
d. Documented step-by-step instructions for application
system recovery
e. Description of test requirements for scheduled annual
end-to-end testing of disaster recovery capability
Maintenance procedures to ensure all components of the
documented DR plan are kept current.

1.33 Service Support Environmental Thresholds
----------------------------------------
Baseline Support Threshold
--------------------------
Service levels reflected in the pricing structure are predicated on
supporting a baseline user community and operational environment as
follows:
. GTO baseline personnel supported = 1,423
. Problem Reports/month = 2,302/mo
. Service Requests/month = 1,265/mo
. Major moves of 10 to100 people per year = 40
. Normal ProductionChange Requests = 60
Stretch Support Threshold
-------------------------
Service levels reflected in the pricing structure include the ability
to stretch to accommodate growth during the contract period to a
maximum supported user community and operational environment as
follows:
. GTO stretch personnel = 1,679
. Problem Reports/month = 2,596/mo
. Service Requests/month = 1,492/mo
. Major moves of 10 to 100 people per year = 48
. Normal Production Change Requests = 75
Page 8 of 23
Additional hardware would also be required to support stretch service
levels as follows:
. Incremental mail server increase = 1 per every additional
200 users over baseline 1,423 users.
. Incremental infrastructure server increase = 1 per every
100 additional users over baseline 1,423 users.
. Network switch ports and phone ports required are based on
increments of 24 ports/card.
The growth of any threshold metrics beyond the levels identified in
this section will require the submission of a Change Request Form (See
Attachment A) documenting the anticipated change to the environment.
In response, the Change Request Form will be reviewed, evaluated,
priced, and returned to Genuity for approval prior to execution.

1.91 Service Requests
Routine processor and network related service requests will be
submitted to the IT Help Desk via written or electronic correspondence.
If there is a question of whether a request is routine, or non-routine,
it will be processed as a non-routine request until otherwise
determined. Routine service requests will be documented and a log will
be kept noting the:
. Person making the request
. Date request was made
. Description of request
. Date request was completed
Routine service requests will be processed as agreed upon by all
parties using the matrix in Section 2.4.
1.92 Special Considerations
Addition Of New Solution Environments
-------------------------------------
If there are significant changes in processing requirements or GTO
environments, the measurements contained in this Statement Of Work are
subject to revision based on mutual agreement of Genuity and GTO. When
a new solution configuration environment is added, its performance will
be tracked, but not included in the rating mix until the system has
been running in production for two (2) months and support documentation
has been provided by GTO to Genuity.
Asset Transfer
--------------
Assets relating to the facilities, such as but not limited to routers,
cables, and circuits, will be transferred to the party who is the owner
or lessor of record for the facility during the transition period but
no later than 4/30/00.
GTO retains the networks: 000.00.0.0/00 (portable, with GTO having
right to advertise) and 000.00.0.0/00 (portable, with GTO having right
to advertise). A member of GTO will be listed with ARIN as the POC for
the networks.
Page 12 of 23
All servers currently support GTO customers will be transferred to GTO
during the transition period but not later than 4/30/00.
1.93 Change Control
Changes to this Statement Of Work can be requested by either GTO or
Genuity using the Change Control Request Form in Attachment A. The form
is completed by the requesting party and submitted to the corresponding
contact in the other organization for evaluation and/or approval. If
approved, the Change Control Request Form is then sent to the Genuity
Contract Manager for execution.
Production Change Control
Genuity will continue to provide the existing Genuity Change Management
process to plan, communicate, coordinate, schedule, and review all
changes to the production and development environments. This process
includes a change control board, which reviews changes to the system,
especially those, which require downtime for the system. The process
adhered to must be consistent with, and maintain the standards as
outlined in the document "Change Control Policies and Procedures,
Version 1.3, dated August 17, 1998.
The scope of the CM process encompasses the comprehensive management of
all change activity within the end-to-end infrastructure of the
production environments. This is to include changes to:
. Systems (Hardware, Software)
. Data
. Processing sites
. Networks
. Work centers
. Computing hardware
. All supporting infrastructure
Prior to moving forward all changes to the production environment
require a scheduled CMR review and approval by the CCB. CMRs (Change
Management Reports) are created by Genuity and reviewed based on the
established criteria. The Change Control Board represents all
functional areas of Genuity; this group meets weekly to discuss all
change management requests (CMRs). The Board allows for participation
by agreed upon representative of GTO. GTO will have approval authority
on changes which affect GTO's production environment.

2.0 Service Levels
Genuity will perform the services requested in the Statement Of Work
with the intention of meeting the service level objectives outlined
below. Genuity will provide monthly reporting against each service
level to the GTO Program Manager. Each service level will have a target
range of performance. These terms are defined as follows:
Goal - Grade of service that Genuity will be striving for
Target - Grade of service that will be minimally acceptable
Baseline - Grade of service that will require investigation,
an action plan and improvement to at least the
target level.
In addition, Severity Levels are used to measure the criticality of
trouble tickets, which are created as a result of problems associated
with operations. These severity levels are defined as follows:
Severity Level 0 - Problems which cause critical
impact to business functions of multiple
customers. Justifies immediate attention
and dedicated resources applying
continuous efforts to resolve ASAP.
Severity Level 1 - Problems which cause critical
impact to the business function(s) of a
single customer. Justifies management
attention and dedicated resources applying
continuous efforts to resolve ASAP.
Severity Level 2 - Problems causing degradation of
service resulting in impact to business
function or customer. Impact justifies
priority attention and application of
resources to resolve in a timely manner.
Severity Level 3 - Problems causing low impact to
the business function(s) and customer(s).
Requires timely resolution to minimize
future impacts. Resources should be
allocated in accordance with normal
managerial planning and prioritization.
The SLA is considered met if GTO is notified that the Genuity has begun
problem identification and is working towards resolution based on the
following criteria:
Severity 0 events - within one business hour
Severity 1 events - within one business hour
Severity 2 events - within 8 business hours
Severity 3 events - within 3 business days.
Page 14 of 23
If Genuity performance falls to the baseline more than two (2)
consecutive months or two months in the previous six (6) months, then
Genuity will conduct an investigation into cause of the service problem
and present the GTO Program Manager with an action plan within thirty
(30) days that corrects the performance to the target level within
sixty (60) days after the plan is presented and agreed to.
2.1 System and Network Availability
2.11 System/On-line Availability
System availability is defined as the accessibility of the hardware and
system software residing at the Genuity facility. The system is
considered available if a customer authorized user can access it in
order to carry out the desired business function.
An unscheduled outage is defined as any period of time in which the
system is unavailable during scheduled operational hours. Genuity will
endeavor to make the computer processing capability available for use
by GTO twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) per week, except for
the time necessary to perform preventative maintenance and operating
system upgrades. The time periods for preventative maintenance and
operating system upgrades will be communicated in advance to GTO, and
mutually negotiated if such time interferes with Genuity's ability to
meet GTO commitments, or, if GTO requires system availability at that
time
It is expected that Genuity will make every effort to meet the
following performance standards for both system availability and
on-line availability. The percentage of scheduled time the system is
available will be tracked. The goal, target, and baseline for
performance reporting have been set as indicated below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Service Description Service Level Service Level Service Level
Baseline Target Goal
===================================================================
System Availability 98.4% 98.5 - 98.9% 99.5 - 100%
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Exceptions to the above measures are as follows:
. Downtime caused by customer will not be reflected in the
downtime status
. Any application or database-related problems, not caused by
Genuity, will not be reflected in the downtime statistics.
2.12 Network Availability
Network availability is defined as the accessibility of the network
that provides connectivity between the customer location and the
Genuity facility. The network is considered available if it can be
utilized for the purpose of carrying out desired business functions. An
unscheduled outage is defined as any period of time in which the
network is unavailable during scheduled operational hours. The
percentage of scheduled time the network is available will be tracked.
The measure of performance is a composite percentage.
Dial backup or other network measures in the event of a failure of the
primary network provision does not constitute an outage. Degradation of
network service during the use of a backup network solution does not
constitute an outage.
Page 15 of 23
VANTIVE Help Desk problem records will be created for all network
outages and scheduled maintenance and will be used to compute actual
network availability.
Genuity will endeavor to make the telecommunications network
capability, for which it is responsible, available for use by GTO
twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) per week.
It is expected that Genuity will make every effort to meet the
following performance standards for both system availability and
on-line availability. The goal, target, and baseline for performance
reporting have been set as indicated below.

Additionally, status updates will be provided to the customer technical
focal point. Frequency of updates will be agreed to during initial
technical bridge call, and will continue until the problem is resolved.
2.3 Network Problem Resolution
Network problem resolution is defined as the time required to resolve
problems or faults with the network circuits / devices. Problems may be
identified through monitoring or user notification. If a problem or
nonconformity arises with the performance of the network, Genuity will
determine the root cause and initiate a change or repair.
The types of problems and non-conformities that can arise will be
classified as either a critical or non-critical. For a critical network
problem, the target will be considered met if the customer is notified
of the event and Genuity or the network vendor has begun identification
and is working towards resolution within the four (4) hour window.
Dial backup or other network measures in the event of a failure of the
primary network provision does not constitute an outage. Degradation of
network service during the use of a backup network solution does not
constitute an outage.

Scheduled Maintenance
----------------------
Time frames for a scheduled maintenance window are as follows:
. Non-Disruptive Maintenance Window
- Consistent with current timings and frequencies for hot backups,
exports, etc
. Disruptive Maintenance Window
- Consistent with current timings and frequencies
- Cold backups of GTO Server files may be performed. Disruptive
activities (such as code installs) may be performed. Existing change
management processes and notifications must be adhered to.
System unavailability during this period will not be considered an outage
or charged against the system availability target. A Genuity Change
Request will be discussed and coordinated with GTO if maintenance is
required outside the scheduled maintenance window and be coordinated by
the AMC.
Additional maintenance will be negotiated with Genuity on an as needed
basis. If GTO concurs with the time frame(s) requested, it will not be
considered an outage.
Service Provider Management Review Meetings - Quarterly
-------------------------------------------------------
Genuity will attend planned Service Provider Management Review meetings
with GTO quarterly. The primary purpose of these meetings will be to
discuss:
. Response/Coverage: Relative to application down time, resource
availability, or general coverage.
. Follow-through: Relative to what is being done about lingering open
problems.
. Critical Solution: Existing or potential services that may impact
Genuity service.
. Service Provider Assessment: What GTO can do to help Genuity better
serve GTO.
. General comments and/or questions.
. Schedule next meeting.
1.5.1 Service Requests
Routine processor and network related service requests will be submitted
to the IT Help Desk via written or electronic correspondence. If there is
a question of whether a request is routine, or non-routine, it will be
processed as a non-routine request until otherwise determined. Routine
service requests will be documented and a log will be kept noting the:
. Person making the request
. Date request was made
. Description of request
. Date request was completed
Routine service requests will be processed as agreed upon by all parties
using the matrix in Section 2.2.

1.5.2 Special Considerations
Addition Of New Solution Environments
-------------------------------------
If there are significant changes in processing requirements or GTO
environments, the measurements contained in this Statement Of Work are
subject to revision based on mutual agreement of Genuity and GTO. When a
new solution configuration environment is added, its performance will be
tracked, but not included in the rating mix until the system has been
running in production for two (2) months and support documentation has
been provided by GTO to Genuity.
1.5.3 Change Control
Changes to this Statement Of Work can be requested by either GTO or
Genuity using the Change Control Request Form in Attachment A. The form
is completed by the requesting party and submitted to the corresponding
contact in the other organization for evaluation and/or approval. If
approved, the Change Control Request Form is then sent to the Genuity
Contract Manager for execution.

1.5.6 Compensation Authorization
This work will be performed on a time and materials basis at the agreed
labor rates. The estimated level of effort for the contract period is 1
FTE. 0.5 FTE will be at the Sr. Developer rate, and 0.5 FTE will be at
the Systems Engineer rate. This represents 954 hours each for this period
of performance. Thus the total labor estimate is: $89,438 + $107,325 =
$196,763.
2.0 Service Levels
Genuity will perform the services requested in the Statement Of Work with
the intention of meeting the service level objectives outlined below.
Genuity will provide monthly reporting against each service level to the
GTO Program Manager. Each service level will have a target range of
performance. These terms are defined as follows:
Goal - Grade of service that Genuity will be striving for
Target - Grade of service that will be minimally acceptable
Baseline - Grade of service that will require investigation, an
action plan and improvement to at least the target
level.
In addition, Severity Levels are used to measure the criticality of
trouble tickets, which are created as a result of problems associated
with operations. These severity levels are defined as follows:
Severity Level 0 - Problems which cause critical impact to
business functions of multiple customers.
Justifies immediate attention and dedicated
resources applying continuous efforts to
resolve ASAP.
Severity Level 1 - Problems which cause critical impact to the
business function(s) of a single customer.
Justifies management attention and dedicated
resources applying continuous efforts to
resolve ASAP.
Severity Level 2 - Problems causing degradation of service
resulting in impact to business function or
customer. Impact justifies priority attention
and application of resources to resolve in a
timely manner.
Severity Level 3 - Problems causing low impact to the business
function(s) and customer(s). Requires timely
resolution to minimize future impacts.
Resources should be allocated in accordance
with normal managerial planning and
prioritization.
The SLA is considered met if GTO is notified that the Genuity has begun
problem identification and is working towards resolution based on the
following criteria:
Page 8 of 12
Severity 0 events - within one business hour
Severity 1 events - within one business hour
Severity 2 events - within 8 business hours
Severity 3 events - within 3 business days.
If Genuity performance falls to the baseline more than two (2)
consecutive months or two months in the previous six (6) months, then
Genuity will conduct an investigation into cause of the service problem
and present the GTO Program Manager with an action plan within thirty
(30) days that corrects the performance to the target level within sixty
(60) days after the plan is presented and agreed to.
2.1 Application/Database Availability
Application/Database availability is defined as the accessibility of the
application or database residing at the Genuity facility. The system is
considered available if a customer authorized user can access it in order
to carry out the desired business function.
An unscheduled outage is defined as any period of time in which the
application or database is unavailable during scheduled operational
hours. Genuity will endeavor to make the computer processing capability
available for use by GTO twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) per
week, except for the time necessary to perform preventative maintenance
and operating system upgrades. The time periods for preventative
maintenance and operating system upgrades will be communicated in advance
to GTO, and mutually negotiated if such time interferes with Genuity's
ability to meet GTO commitments, or, if GTO requires system availability
at that time.
It is expected that Genuity will make every effort to meet the following
performance standards for both system availability and on-line
availability. The percentage of scheduled time the system is available
will be tracked. The goal, target, and baseline for performance reporting
have been set as indicated below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Service Description Service Level Service Level Service Level
Baseline Target Goal
=======================================================================
System Availability 98.4% 98.5 - 98.9% 99.5 - 100%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exceptions to the above measures are as follows:
. Downtime caused by customer will not be reflected in the
downtime status
. Any application or database-related problems, not caused by
Genuity, will not be reflected in the downtime statistics.
