         or ownership rights to Software.

12. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHT

    a)   Nortel  Networks  shall,  at its own  expense,  (i) defend  Company (in
         connection   with  such  defense,   Nortel  Networks  shall  be  solely
         responsible  for  its  litigation   costs,   including  its  attorney's
         expenses)  in any claim or legal action  alleging  that the purchase or
         use of any  Product or any  portion  thereof,  other  than third  party
         hardware  or  software  not   incorporated   during  Nortel   Network's
         manufacturing process,  infringes any patent, trademark,  trade secret,
         copyright or other proprietary right  ("Infringement  Claim);  and (ii)
         pay all  damages  and  costs,  including  reasonable  attorney's  fees,
         awarded against Company,  or pursuant to settlement agreed to by Nortel
         Networks,  in  such  actions  which  are  directly  attributable  to an
         Infringement Claim.  Company may participate in such defense at its own
         expense.

As a  condition  of such  defense or  payment,  Company is  required to (i) give
Nortel Networks prompt written notice of any  Infringement  Claim;  (ii) provide
Nortel  Networks with the sole control of the defense  and/or  settlement of the
Infringement  Claim;  (iii) cooperate fully with Nortel Networks in such defense
or settlement.

    b)   In the event Nortel Networks becomes aware of a potential  Infringement
         Claim, Nortel Networks may (or in the case of an award of an injunction
         shall) at its sole option and expense,  either: (i) procure for Company
         the right to continue using the alleged infringing  Products);  or (ii)
         replace or modify the alleged infringing  Product(s) with an equivalent
         product(s) so that  Company's use is  non-infringing.  If none of these
         alternatives  is  reasonably  available,  Company  agrees to return the
         Product(s)  to Nortel  Networks on Nortel  Networks'  written  request.
         Nortel Networks will then give Customer a credit equal to Company's net
         book  value  for  the   Product(s)   provided   Company  has   followed
         generally-accepted  accounting  principles.  Any  such  claims  against
         Company  or  liability  for  infringement   arising  from  use  of  the
         Product(s)  following a request for return by Nortel  Networks  are the
         sole responsibility of Company.

    c)   Nortel  Networks  has no  obligation  or  liability  in  respect to any
         Infringement  Claim in the  event  that  the  accused  Product:  (i) is
         manufactured,  designed or supplied  by Nortel  Netowrks in  accordance
         with any design or special instruction  furnished by Company,  provided
         that the  Infringement  Claim is  related  to such  design  or  special
         instruction;  (ii) is used by Company in a manner or for a purpose  not
         contemplated  by this Agreement or Nortel  Networks'  Product  customer
         documentation;  (iii) is used or located by Company in a country  other
         than the country for which it was supplied;  (iv) is used by Company in
         combination  with other products or applications not provided by Nortel
         Networks,  including  any  software  developed  by Company  through the
         permitted use of Products, provided that Infringement Claim arises from
         such  combination  or the use  thereof;  or (v) is  modified by Company
         without Nortel Network's  written  authorization.  If Company continues
         use of the affected Product notwithstanding Nortel Networks' request to
         replace or modify  pursuant  to Section b) (ii) or its  requirement  to
         return  pursuant  to Section  b) (iii),  Nortel  Networks  shall not be
         liable for such use. In such cases,  Company  shall  indemnify and hold
         Nortel  Networks  harmless  against any loss,  cost,  expense,  damage,
         settlement, or other liability

         employees or agents, in the performance of this Agreement. A party will
         notify the other party promptly of written claims or demands against it
         for which the other party is  responsible.  If the damage  results from

         Products  or  technical  data will be exported  or  transmitted  to any
         country or foreign  nationals of any country except in accordance  with
         applicable laws and regulations concerning the exporting of such items.
         Company  shall  obtain all  appropriate  government  authorizations  in
         accordance with  applicable law prior to exporting or transmitting  any
         such  Products or technical  data.  Nortel  Networks  will provide such
         assistance   as   Company   reasonably    requests   to   obtain   such
         authorizations.  Nortel  Networks  shall  have  no  obligation  to sell
         Products  in  any  country  in  which  the   Products   have  not  been
         homologated.  If Company  desires to use the  Products  in a country in
         which the Products have not been  homologated,  and Nortel  Networks in
         its sole discretion agrees that Products may be used by Company in such
         country,  then Company and Nortel Networks will mutually agree upon the
         allocation  between  the parties of the costs and  expenses  associated
         with homologating such Products for use in such country.

    b)   Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4, in the event of any change
         in the specifications,  or in manufacturing or delivery processes, as a

         direct and indirect costs resulting from such change.

    c)   If any provision  hereof is determined to be legally  unenforceable  or
         invalid,  the  remaining  provisions  will  continue  in full force and
         effect and the parties will  substitute  a provision  that most closely
         approximates the economic effect and intent of the invalid provisions.

    d)   A party shall not release any advertising or other  publicity  relating
         to the  Agreement or the  contents  thereof  without the prior  written
         approval of the other party.

    e)   The failure by either party at any time to require  performance  by the
         other  party,  or to  claim a  breach  of this  Agreement,  will not be
         construed  as  affecting  any  subsequent  breach  or right to  require
         performance.

    f)   This Agreement, including Supplemental Documentation, comprises all the
         terms,  conditions,  representations,  warranties  and agreement of the
         parties with respect to the subject  matter hereof and  supersedes  all
         previous negotiations,  proposals, commitments,  writings, publications
         and understandings of any nature whatsoever.

    g)   In the event of a conflict  between the main body of this Agreement and
         the provisions set forth in Supplemental Documentation,  the provisions
         of the Supplemental  Documentation prevail with respect to any Products
         and Services covered by it.

                      Global Ordering Procedures and Price
                       Enterprise Solutions Data Products

1. GLOBAL  ORDERING  PROCEDURES FOR ENTERPRISE  SOLUTIONS DATA PRODUCTS GROUPS A
   THROUGH F
A. ORDERS FOR DELIVERY OR PERFORMANCE IN THE U.S. Orders for data Products Group
   A, B,  C, E and F to be  delivered  or  installed  in the  U.S.  and  related
   Services  to be  performed  in the U.S.  shall be issued by Company to Nortel
   Networks.
B. ORDERS FOR DELIVERY OR PERFORMANCE  OUTSIDE THE U.S. Orders for data Products
   Group A, B, C, E and F to be  delivered  or  installed  outside the U.S.  and
   related Services to be performed  outside the U.S. shall be issued by Company
   in the country of delivery or  performance at its option either to (i) Nortel
   Networks under the Global Delivery Service option; or (ii) the VAR identified
   as a Nortel Networks "Global Business Partner" for the country of delivery or
   performance  under the Global Partner Service  option.  If Company issues the
   order  to a VAR  pursuant  to the  Global  Partner  Service  option,  Company
   acknowledges  that Nortel  Networks shall have the right to assign the rights
   and duties under this Agreement  necessary to perform such order to such VAR,
   including  without  limitation,  acceptance of the order,  performance of the
   order,  invoicing and collection of the price of the order and performance of
   warranty Services for Products in the order. Each such Global Partner Service
   option order shall continue to be governed by the terms of this Agreement and
   all  obligations  of this  Agreement  not  assigned  to the VAR shall  remain
   obligations of Nortel  Networks.  To ensure that Company receives the benefit
   of the prices and discounts in this Agreement when Company issues an order to
   a VAR under the Global Partner  Service  option,  Company shall (a) reference
   this  Agreement by including the  Agreement  number on the face of the order.
   (b)  identify  on the face of the order any  Special  Business  Authorization
   ("SBA")  number(s)  which  may  be  provided  by  Nortel  Networks,  and  (c)
   simultaneously furnish a copy of the order and certain international ordering
   information in a format specified by Nortel Networks to its designated Nortel
   Networks account representative.
C. LIMITED  DURATION.  The ordering  processes  within  Nortel  Networks and its
   affiliates  for data  Products  Groups A through  and F are  under  review to
   permit the  ordering  of such  Products  in  accordance  with the  procedures
   described  in Section 2 of this  Attachment  1. When such  process  review is
   completed,  Nortel  Networks  will  notify  Company  and upon such notice the
   ordering procedures in Section 2 of this Attachment 1 will also apply to data
   Products Groups A through F.

2. PRICING
   The pricing for each  Enterprise  Solutions Data Product shall be as follows:
A. DATA PRODUCTS GROUPS A THROUGH F PRICE LIST. The Price List for data Products
   Groups A, B, C, E and F and related Services (data Products Group D) shall be
   Nortel  Networks'  then-current  published  standard U.S. Price List for such
   Products and  Services in effect at time of order,  as such Price List may be
   changed by Nortel  Networks  from time to time.  For  purchases  for delivery
   outside  the  U.S.,  the  prices  in such  Price  List  shall be  subject  to
   adjustment   using  the  applicable   band  multiplier  for  the  country  of
   destination  specified in Table 1 below.  Such adjustment will be made before
   the volume discount identified in Section 4 below is applied. Nortel Networks
   reserves the right to move a particular  country  into a different  band,  or
   change the multiplier within a band as a result of changes which may occur in
   duties,  destination  charges and the like.  The prices for Bands 2 through 6
   countries  only,  determined  using  the  applicable  multiplier  in Table 1,
   include  freight,  insurance,  import  fees,  duties  and  customs  clearance
   charges, but do not include any applicable  in-country taxes (including sales
   tax and  value  added  tax)  which  shall be  Company's  responsibility.  The
   Services  offered in association  with data Products  Groups A, B, C, E and F
   under the Agreement shall be in accordance with the Services  Descriptions in
   effect on the date Nortel Networks accepts an order for such Services.
