               Quality of Service Standards and other terms of this Agreement.

          9.2. ACCESS AND SECURITY.  Bridge  personnel shall have such access to
               SAVVIS'  premises  as is  reasonably  necessary  to  provide  the
               Services in accordance with this Agreement,  provided that Bridge
               personnel  shall  comply at all  times  with  SAVVIS'  reasonable
               security requirements. SAVVIS shall have the right immediately to
               terminate  the right of access of any Bridge  personnel to any or
               all Service Sites should SAVVIS  determine in its sole discretion
               that such termination is in SAVVIS' best interest,  provided that
               SAVVIS shall not exercise this right on grounds  unrelated to job
               performance  or in a manner  that  obliges  Bridge  to  commit an
               unlawful act. Unless Bridge knew or should  reasonably have known
               that particular  Bridge  personnel would be barred from a Service
               Site, the time allowed for any installation,  repair, maintenance
               or similar  action that such  personnel  were to perform shall be
               extended for the period  reasonably  required by Bridge to deploy
               substitute  personnel,  provided  that Bridge  shall use its best

               efforts  to  deploy  such  substitute  personnel  as  quickly  as
               possible.  For purposes of this  Section,  any  subcontractor  or
               other agent of Bridge shall be treated as Bridge personnel.

          9.3. PROPER USE OF SAVVIS EQUIPMENT.

               9.3.1.Bridge shall use any SAVVIS  Equipment in  connection  with
                     the Services in accordance  with its  documentation,  which
                     documentation  shall be provided by SAVVIS at no additional
                     charge.

               9.3.2.Bridge shall be liable for damages to the SAVVIS  Equipment
                     caused by the  negligence  or willful  acts or omissions of
                     Bridge's officers,  employees,  agents or contractors,  and
                     for  damages  to  SAVVIS  Equipment  caused  by the  use of
                     equipment or supplies not authorized by SAVVIS.

               9.3.3.Bridge shall  neither  permit nor assist  others to use the
                     SAVVIS  Equipment for any purpose other than that for which
                     they are intended, and Bridge shall be liable to SAVVIS for
                     any  direct  costs  incurred  by SAVVIS as a result of such
                     use.

         9.4.  INSURANCE.

               9.4.1.At all  times  during  the term of this  Agreement,  Bridge
                     shall maintain for itself, its officers,  employees, agents
                     and  representatives  insurance as shall be provided for in
                     an  Addendum  mutually  agreed  upon by the  parties in the
                     manner set forth in Section 1.2 hereof.

               9.4.2.Bridge  shall  furnish to  SAVVIS,  upon  written  request,
                     certificates of insurance or otherappropriate documentation
                     (including evidence of renewal of insurance) evidencing the
                     insurance  coverage  referenced above,  naming SAVVIS as an
                     additional    insured.    Such    certificates   or   other
                     documentation shall include a proviso whereby 15 days prior
                     written  notice  shall  be  provided  to  SAVVIS  prior  to
                     coverage  cancellation  or  other  material  alteration  by
                     either Bridge or the applicable insurer.  Such cancellation
                     or  material  alteration  shall not  relieve  Bridge of its
                     continuing  obligation  to maintain  insurance  coverage in
                     accordance with this Section.

               9.4.3.In lieu of all or part of the insurance  coverage specified
                     in this Section, Bridge may self-insure with respect to any
                     insurance  coverage,  except where expressly  prohibited by
                     law.

          9.5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

               9.5.1.Bridge  hereby  warrants that the Services will be provided
                     in  accordance  with  the  Quality  of  Service   Standards

                     Bridge fails to provide any of the Services in

                    amounts   paid  by  SAVVIS  to  Bridge,   if  any,  for  the
                    performance  of the specific  Service that fails to meet the
                    applicable Quality of Service Standards, plus (ii) the costs
                    actually  incurred  by SAVVIS in order to have such  service

                    excess of the amounts that SAVVIS  actually  paid,  or would
                    have paid,  to Bridge for the  performance  of the  specific
                    Service that fails to meet the applicable Quality of Service
                    Standards.

               9.5.2.THE  FOREGOING   WARRANTIES   ARE  IN  LIEU  OF  ALL  OTHER
                     WARRANTIES,  EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED,  INCLUDING  THE  IMPLIED
                     WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY  AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
                     PURPOSE.

                    damages,  including damages for lost profits,  regardless of

          10.2.     Nothing contained in this Section shall limit either party's
                    liability  to the  other  for  (a)  willful  or  intentional

                    Nothing  contained  in this  Section  shall  limit  Bridge's

11.       PROPRIETARY RIGHTS; LICENSE

          11.1.     Bridge   hereby  grants  to  SAVVIS  a   non-exclusive   and
                    non-transferable  license  to use all  hardware,  equipment,
                    programming  and  software  necessary  for SAVVIS to use the
                    Services.  Such  license  is  granted  for the  term of this
                    Agreement for the sole purpose of enabling SAVVIS to use the

12.      CONFIDENTIALITY

          12.1.     During the term of this  Agreement  and for a period of five
                    years  from  the  date  of  its  expiration  or  termination
                    (including  all  extensions  thereof),  each party agrees to
                    maintain in strict confidence all Confidential  Information.
                    Neither party shall,  without  prior written  consent of the
                    other party, use the other party's Confidential  Information
                    for any purpose other than for the performance of its duties
                    and obligations,  and the exercise of its rights, under this
                    Agreement.  Each  party  shall  use,  and  shall  cause  all
                    authorized  recipients  of the  other  party's  Confidential
                    Information  to use,  the same degree of care to protect the
                    other party's Confidential Information as it uses to protect
                    its own Confidential Information,  but in any event not less
                    than a reasonable degree of care.

          12.2.     Notwithstanding  Section 12.1, either party may disclose the
                    Confidential  Information  of the  otherparty  to:  (a)  its
                    employees and the  employees,  directors and officers of its
                    Affiliates  as necessary to implement  this  Agreement;  (b)
                    employees,  agents or representatives of the other party; or
                    (c) other persons (including counsel,  consultants,  lessors
                    or managers of facilities  or equipment  used by such party)
                    in  need  of  access  to  such   information   for  purposes
                    specifically  related  to  either  party's  responsibilities
                    under  this  Agreement,  provided  that  any  disclosure  of
                    Confidential Information under clause (c) shall be made only
                    upon prior  written  approval of the other party and subject
                    to the  appropriate  assurances  that the  recipient of such
                    information shall hold it in strict confidence.

          12.3.     Upon the request of the party having  proprietary  rights to
                    Confidential  Information,  the party in  possession of such
                    information  shall promptly return it (including any copies,
                    extracts and summaries thereof,  in whatever form and medium
                    recorded) to the requesting party or, with the other party's
                    written  consent,  shall promptly destroy it and provide the
                    other party with written certification of such destruction.

          12.4.     Either  party may  request in writing  that the other  party
                    waive  all  or  any  portion  of  the   requesting   party's
                    responsibilities  relative to the other party's Confidential
                    Information. Such waiver request shall identify the affected
                    information  and the  nature  of the  proposed  waiver.  The
                    recipient of the request shall  respond  within a reasonable
                    time and, if it determines, in its sole discretion, to grant
                    the  requested  waiver,  it will do so in  writing  over the
                    signature of an employee authorized to grant such request.

          12.5.     Bridge  and  SAVVIS   acknowledge  that  any  disclosure  or
                    misappropriation of Confidential Information in violation of
                    this Agreement could cause  irreparable  harm, the amount of
                    which may be difficult to determine, thus potentially making
                    any  remedy at law or in  damages  inadequate.  Each  party,
                    therefore,  agrees that the other party shall have the right
                    to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order
                    restraining any breach or threatened  breach of this Section
                    and for any

                                     10

<PAGE>
                    other appropriate relief. This right shall be in addition to
                    any other remedy available in law or equity.

          12.6.     A  party   requested   or   ordered  by  a  court  or  other
                    governmental authority of competent jurisdiction to disclose
                    another party's  Confidential  Information  shall notify the
                    other party in advance of any such  disclosure  and,  absent
                    the other party's consent to such  disclosure,  use its best
                    efforts  to  resist,  and  to  assist  the  other  party  in
                    resisting,   such  disclosure.  A  party  providing  another
                    party's  Confidential   Information  to  a  court  or  other
                    governmental  authority shall use its best efforts to obtain
                    a  protective   order  or  comparable   assurance  that  the
                    Confidential   Information  so  provided  will  be  held  in
                    confidence  and not further  disclosed to any other  person,
                    absent the owner's prior consent.

          12.7.     The  provisions  of Section  12.1  above  shall not apply to
                    reasonably  necessary  disclosures in or in connection  with
                    filings under any  securities  laws,  regulatory  filings or
                    proceedings,  financial  disclosures which in the good faith
                    judgment  of the  disclosing  party  are  required  by  law,
                    disclosures  required  by court  or  tribunal  or  competent
                    jurisdiction,   or   disclosures   that  may  be  reasonably
                    necessary in connection  with the performance or enforcement
                    of  this  Agreement  or  any  of  the  obligations   hereof;
                    provided,   however,  that  if  the  receiving  party  would
                    otherwise  be required to refer to or describe any aspect of
                    this  Agreement in any of the preceding  circumstances,  the
                    receiving  party  shall use its  reasonable  efforts to take
                    such steps as are available under such  circumstances  (such
                    as by providing a summary or  synopsis) to avoid  disclosure
                    of the financial  terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement.
                    Notwithstanding  any  provisions  of this  Agreement  to the
                    contrary, either party may disclose the terms and conditions
                    of this  Agreement in the course of a due  diligence  review
                    performed in connection with  prospective  debt financing or
                    equity  investment by, or a sale to, a third party,  so long
                    as the persons  conducting  such due  diligence  review have
                    agreed to maintain the  confidentiality  of such  disclosure
                    and not to use such  disclosure  for any purpose  other such
                    due diligence review.

13.      INDEMNIFICATIONS

          13.1.     Bridge shall defend,  settle, or otherwise manage at its own
                    cost and expense any claim or action  against  SAVVIS or any
                    of its directors,  officers, employees or assigns for actual
                    or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark,
                    trade secret or similar proprietary right to the extent that
                    such claim or action arises from  Bridge's  provision of the
                    Services.  SAVVIS shall notify Bridge promptly in writing of
                    any such claim or suit and shall  cooperate with Bridge in a
                    reasonable  way to  facilitate  the  settlement  or  defense
                    thereof.  Bridge further agrees to indemnify and hold SAVVIS
                    harmless  from  and  against  any  and all  liabilities  and
                    damages (whether incurred as the result of a judicial decree
                    or a settlement), and the costs and expenses associated with
                    any claim or action of the type  identified  in this Section
                    (including reasonable attorneys' fees).

          13.2.     If,  as a  consequence  of a claim  or  action  of the  kind
                    described  in Section  13.1,  SAVVIS' or Bridge's use of any
                    Service or related documentation is enjoined,  Bridge shall,
                    at its option and  expense,  either:  (a) procure for SAVVIS
                    the  right  to  continue  using  the  affected  Services  or
                    documentation;  (b) modify such Service or  documentation so
                    that it is  non-infringing,  provided that such modification
                    does  not  affect  the   intended  use  of  the  Service  or
                    documentation as contemplated hereunder; or (c) upon written
                    notice  to   SAVVIS,   substitute   for  such   Service   or
                    documentation  a  comparable,   non-infringing   product  or
                    service or documentation. If Bridge does not take any of the
                    actions  described in clauses (a), (b) and (c),  then SAVVIS
                    may  terminate any affected  Service  pursuant to Section 5,
                    and  Bridge  shall  refund to  SAVVIS  any  prepaid  charges
                    therefor.

14.       DISPUTES

          14.1.     Resolution  of any  and  all  disputes  arising  from  or in
                    connection with this  Agreement,  whether based on contract,
                    tort,   statute  or  otherwise,   including   disputes  over
                    arbitrability  and  disputes  in  connection  with claims by
                    third persons  ("DISPUTES") shall be exclusively governed by
                    and  settled  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of this
                    Section 14. The  foregoing  shall not  preclude  recourse to
                    judicial  proceedings  to obtain  injunctive,  emergency  or
                    other  equitable  relief to enforce the  provisions  of this
                    Agreement,  including  specific  performance,  and to decide
                    such issues as are  required  to be resolved in  determining
                    whether to grant such relief.  Resolution  of Disputes  with
                    respect to claims by third persons  shall be deferred  until
                    any judicial proceedings with respect thereto are concluded.

          14.2.     The parties  hereby agree to submit all Disputes to rules of
                    arbitration of the American Arbitration  Association and the
                    Missouri  Uniform  Arbitration  Act (the "RULES")  under the
                    following provisions,  which shall be final and binding upon
                    the parties,  their  successors  and  assigns,  and that the
                    following provisions constitute a binding arbitration clause
                    under  applicable  law.  Either  party may serve  process or
                    notice  on the other in any  arbitration  or  litigation  in
                    accordance with the notice  provisions  hereof.  The parties
                    agree not to disclose any information  regarding any Dispute
                    or the conduct of any arbitration  hereunder,  including the
                    existence of such Dispute or such arbitration, to any person
                    or entity other than such  employees or  representatives  of
                    such party as have a need to know.

          14.3.     Either party may commence proceedings  hereunder by delivery
                    of written notice providing a reasonable  description of the
                    Dispute  to  the  other,   including  a  reference  to  this
                    provision (the "DISPUTE NOTICE").  Either party may initiate
                    arbitration  of a Dispute by delivery  of a demand  therefor
                    (the  "ARBITRATION  DEMAND")  to the other  party not sooner
                    than 60  calendar  days  after the date of  delivery  of the
                    Dispute Notice but at any time  thereafter.  The arbitration
                    shall be conducted in St. Louis, Missouri.
                                       12

          14.4.     The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators (the
                    "ARBITRATORS"), one of whom shall be selected by Bridge, one
                    by SAVVIS,  and the third by  agreement of the other two not
                    later than 10 days after  appointment  of the first two, or,
                    failing such agreement,  appointed pursuant to the Rules. If
                    an Arbitrator  becomes unable to serve, a successor shall be
                    selected  or  appointed  in the same  manner  in  which  the
                    predecessor Arbitrator was appointed.

          14.5.     The  arbitration   shall  be  conducted   pursuant  to  such
                    procedures as the parties may agree or, in the absence of or
                    failing   such    agreement,    pursuant   to   the   Rules.
                    Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  each party  shall have the
                    right to inspect  the books and  records of the other  party
                    that are reasonably  related to the Dispute,  and each party
                    shall  provide  to the other,  reasonably  in advance of any
                    hearing, copies of all documents which such party intends to
                    present in such  hearing and the names and  addresses of all
                    witnesses  whose  testimony such party intends to present in
                    such hearing.

          14.6.     All hearings  shall be  conducted on an expedited  schedule,
                    and all proceedings shall be confidential.  Either party may
                    at its expense make a stenographic record thereof.

          14.7.     The  Arbitrators  shall complete all hearings not later than
                    90  calendar  days  after  the  Arbitrators'   selection  or
                    appointment,  and shall make a final award not later than 30
                    calendar days  thereafter.  The Arbitrators  shall apportion
                    all costs and  expenses of the  Arbitration,  including  the
                    Arbitrators'  fees and  expenses  of  experts  ("ARBITRATION
                    COSTS") between the prevailing and non-prevailing parties as
                    the Arbitrators  deem fair and reasonable.  In circumstances
                    where a Dispute has been  asserted  or  defended  against on
                    grounds that the Arbitrators  deem manifestly  unreasonable,
                    the Arbitrators may assess all Arbitration Costs against the
                    non-prevailing  party  and  may  include  in the  award  the
                    prevailing   party's   attorneys'   fees  and   expenses  in
                    connection with any and all  proceedings  under this Section
                    14.

          14.8.     Either party may assert  appropriate  statutes of limitation
                    as a defense in arbitration; provided, that upon delivery of
                    a Dispute  Notice any such statute  shall be tolled  pending
                    resolution hereunder.

          14.9.     Pending the resolution of any dispute or controversy arising
                    under this Agreement,  the parties shall continue to perform
                    their respective obligations hereunder, and Bridge shall not
                    discontinue,  disconnect  or in any other  fashion  cease to
                    provide all or any  substantial  portion of the  Services to
                    SAVVIS  unless  otherwise  directed by SAVVIS.  This Section
                    shall  not  apply  where  SAVVIS is in  default  under  this
                    Agreement.

15.      FORCE MAJEURE

          15.1.     In no event  shall  either  party be liable to the other for
                    any failure to perform  hereunder that is due to war, riots,
                    embargoes,  strikes  or  other  concerted  acts  of  workers
                    (whether  of a  party  hereto  or  of  others),  casualties,
                    accidents  or other

                                       13
<PAGE>

                    causes to the extent that such failure and the  consequences
                    thereof  are  reasonably  beyond the control and without the
                    fault or negligence of the party claiming excuse. Each party
                    shall,   with  the  cooperation  of  the  other  party,  use
                    reasonable  efforts to mitigate the extent of any failure to
                    perform and the adverse consequences thereof.

          15.2.     If  Bridge  cannot  promptly  provide a  suitable  temporary
                    Bridge  alternative to a Service  subject to an Interruption
                    in  connection   with  the  existence  or  a  force  majeure
                    condition,  SAVVIS  may,  at its option and at its own cost,
                    contract  with one or more third parties for (or provide for
                    itself)  any or  all  affected  Services  for  the  shortest
                    commercially available period likely to cover the reasonably
                    expected  duration  of the  Interruption,  and  may  suspend
                    Bridge's provision of such Services for such period.  Bridge
                    shall not charge  SAVVIS  for any  Services  thus  suspended
                    during  the  period  of  suspension.   Bridge  shall  resume
                    provision of the  suspended  Services  upon the later of the
                    termination  or  expiration  of  SAVVIS'   legally   binding
                    commitments   under   contracts   with  third   parties  for
                    alternative services or the cessation or remedy of the force
                    majeure condition.

          15.3.     In the event that a force majeure  condition  shall continue
                    for more  than 60  days,  SAVVIS  may  cancel  the  affected
                    Services with no further  liability to Bridge other than for
                    Services  received by SAVVIS prior to the  occurrence of the
                    force majeure condition.

16.      GENERAL PROVISIONS

          16.1.     NO  THIRD-PARTY  BENEFICIARIES.  This  Agreement  shall  not
                    confer  any  rights or  remedies  upon any  person or entity
                    other than the parties and their  respective  successors and

          16.2.     ENTIRE  AGREEMENT.  This Agreement  (including the documents
                    referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement between
                    the  parties  and  supersedes   any  prior   understandings,
                    agreements,  or  representations  by or between the parties,
                    written or oral,  to the extent  they  related in any way to
                    the subject matter hereof.

          16.3.     SUCCESSION AND  ASSIGNMENT.  This Agreement shall be binding
                    upon and inure to the  benefit of the parties  named  herein
                    and their respective  successors and permitted  assigns.  No
                    party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights,
                    interests,   or  obligations  hereunder  without  the  prior
                    written approval of the other party, which consent shall not
                    be unreasonably withheld.

          16.4.     COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more
                    counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed an original but
                    all of  which  together  will  constitute  one and the  same
                    instrument.

                    warranty or covenant hereunder,  whether intentional or not,
                    shall  be  deemed  to  extend  to any  prior  or  subsequent
