Problem Resolution and Escalation Procedures. @Road will perform the -------------------------------------------- following procedures to resolve support problems. The category of the problem reported, as determined by the End User, will determine the escalation procedure used for resolution. - Category l - End User reports an unusual abort or shutdown but is able to restart; End User requests a feature or change to existing operation - service for the End User remains in operation. - Category 2 - End User reports one or more RC-10 units are not functioning or that access to or a feature of the @Road Server is not functioning properly - service for the End User is down or is significantly impaired. - Category 3 - End User reports that one or more RC-10 units are not functioning or that access to or a feature of the @Road Server is not functioning properly and L1TS determines that either all or part of the @Road Server is down - service for an entire customer account or all customer accounts is down or is significantly impaired. Category 1. Category 1 calls will be analyzed by the @Road Technical Support ---------- Representative ("TSR") to determine if the problem is part of the capabilities of the Application Software. The problem will be resolved following the process described in this Description of Services. If the problem was a temporary service stoppage, error message or feature request, the problem or feature request will be documented and forwarded to the @Road Manager of Technical Support. If necessary, Category 1 problem resolution work is superseded by the existence of Category 2 or Category 3 problems until the Category 2 or 3 problem is resolved and the End User(s) is (are) up and running. Category 2. For all Category 2 calls, L1TS personnel will work immediately and ---------- diligently to attempt to resolve the problem within 2 hours. L1TS personnel will continue to work during normal business hours on the problem until resolved. Category 2 problems will be transferred to the next work shift for ongoing work if the outage is not resolved at the close of shift. @Road will provide reasonable and best efforts to ensure that all Category 2 issues are completely resolved within 1 business day. Category 2 problem resolution work is superseded by the reporting of Category 3 problems if the determination is made that the Category 2 problem is not related to the Category 3 problem. Category 3. Category 3 problems are treated with top priority. If L1TS detects a ---------- Category 3 problem, they are instructed to immediately notify all other on-shift L1TS personnel including the L1TS manager on duty. If the problem has not been resolved within 30 minutes, the Manager of Technical Support ("MTS") for @Road will be contacted regardless of the time of day. If not available, progressively higher levels of management will be contacted. All work by any technical support person will be suspended and all available resources will be committed to the problem working around the clock until resolved. @Road will provide reasonable and best efforts to ensure that all Category 3 issues are completely resolved within 1 day. <PAGE> . Scheduled Maintenance and Upgrade Procedures. Network, software and -------------------------------------------- hardware components of the VLS may require scheduled maintenance to, among other reasons, improve performance, add features or maintain a current and supportable infrastructure. @Road and Ameritech will use the following procedure for scheduling maintenance downtime and for putting new software releases into service. Step 1 -- @Road will determine that some combination of hardware, software or network components must be scheduled for maintenance or replacement. If @Road determines the maintenance can be performed without material or visible affect on End Users and thus End Users will incur no downtime from the upgrade, @Road will proceed with the upgrade at its discretion. If @Road determines that the maintenance will have a material or visible affect on End Users including, but not limited to, new features or changes to End User operation or incur End User downtime, the maintenance procedure will move to Step 2. Step 2 -- @Road will send a written notice to Ameritech outlining the reason for the upcoming scheduled maintenance ("Maintenance Notice"). If the maintenance work will include new features visible to End Users or changes to End User operation, @Road will outline the features of the upgrade including, if known, any potential problems which may be encountered during or after the upgrade in the Maintenance Notice. Within the Maintenance Notice, @Road will provide information for Ameritech to access a test server running the upgraded software. From the time of the Maintenance Notice, Ameritech has 30 calendar days to perform any testing of the upgrade. @Road L1TS will be available to Ameritech by telephone or email to review test results and discuss test progress. At the earliest possible time, but no longer than 30 days from the date of the Maintenance Notice, Ameritech will inform @Road in waiting of the acceptance or rejection of the upgrade. If the upgrade is rejected, Ameritech will document those problems or features which led to the rejection. If the upgrade is accepted, the process will move to Step 3. If no response is received, @Road will consider the upgrade accepted. Step 3 -- @Road will inform Ameritech in writing of the scheduled maintenance downtime ("Downtime Notice"). In the Downtime Notice, @Road will specify the time and date of the maintenance where the date is no less than 10 calendar days from the date of issue of the Downtime Notice. In the Downtime Notice, @Road will specify the period of time the service will be down. This specified period will be considered Excused Downtime. Ameritech may request a change to the date, time or period by responding in writing within 5 calendar days from the date of the Downtime Notice. If Ameritech requests a rescheduling of the maintenance, @Road and Ameritech will determine a mutually acceptable time, date and period. @Road will then issue a Revised Downtime Notice and proceed with the maintenance at the specified time. <PAGE> . VLS Sales Training. @Road will provide one (1) day of VLS sales training ------------------ at no additional cost to Ameritech sales and technical support personnel for each Ameritech market which offers the Services hereunder. Thereafter, @Road will provide additional reasonable training to Ameritech, provided that Ameritech reimburses @Road for all reasonable travel, lodging, and meal expenses @Road incurs in connection with providing such training. . Facilities and Personnel. @Road will provide a full time, dedicated Sales ------------------------ Support Representative ("SSR") to Ameritech for the purpose of training the Ameritech sales force on an as-needed basis and assisting with customer sales activity, at no additional cost to Ameritech. The @Road SSR will provide the sales training at locations provided by Ameritech. . Covered Markets. @Road will provide training in the metropolitan areas of --------------- all of Ameritech's CDPD coverage areas. . Scheduling.

SUSPENSION OF PERFORMANCE ------------------------- If bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to Supplier and if this Agreement has not been otherwise terminated, then Buyer may suspend all future performance of this Agreement and/or any Purchase Order(s) hereunder until Supplier assumes and provides adequate assurance of future performance or rejects this Agreement or such Order(s) pursuant to (S)365 of the <PAGE> Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision. Any such suspension of further performance by Buyer pending Supplier's assumption or rejection will not be a breach of this Agreement and/or any Purchase Order(s) and will not affect Buyer's right to pursue or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement or such Order(s) or otherwise. TAXES ----- Federal manufacturers or retailers excise taxes, and state and local sales or use taxes, when applicable, shall be billed as separate items on Supplier's invoice.

Buyer's liability, to Supplier shall be limited to payment for Goods which are ordered by Buyer prior to the effective date of termination of this Agreement. YEAR 2000 CAPABILITY -------------------- Supplier warrants that any version of the Software shall properly perform Year 2000 Processing. In the event of a breach of this warranty, Supplier agrees to promptly remedy such breach at no additional charge to Ameritech by: (i) correcting the version of the Software currently used by Ameritech so as to make it capable of correctly performing Year 2000 Processing; (ii) providing replacement Software for the Software which is equivalent in function to the Software and which correctly performs Year 2000 Processing. If, after using best efforts Supplier is unable to accomplish either of the foregoing options within ninety (90) days of Buyer's notification to Supplier of any failure of the Software to correctly perform Year 2000 Processing, Supplier shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, or expense awarded by final judgement against Buyer arising from any third party claims which alleges damages to the Software.
