Each Party agrees to pay to the other Party in the manner set forth in Section 3.02 an amount equal to the Service Costs applicable to each of the Services provided or procured by such other Party.

Section 3.02 Invoicing and Settlement of Costs.

(a) As soon as practicable after the end of each month, each Party will invoice the other Party for the applicable Service Costs on a monthly basis, in arrears, for the prior month just ended. The invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail for the period covered by such invoice (i) the Services rendered, (ii) the Service Costs for each type of Service provided and (iii) such additional information as reasonably requested

(b) Each Party agrees to pay all of the Service Costs on or before thirty (30) days after the date on which an invoice for Service Costs is delivered to such Party (the "Payment Date") by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that the Parties may agree to a net amount owed by one Party to the other. If a Party fails to pay any monthly payment on or before the Payment Date, such Party shall be obligated to pay, in addition to the amount due pursuant to such invoice, interest on such amount at the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal (as of the applicable Payment Date) plus two percent (2%) per annum, compounded monthly from the relevant Payment Date through the date of payment ("Additional Interest"); provided that if the Parties agree to a net amount owed by one Party to the other with respect to Service Costs in any monthly period, the Party to whom such net amount is owed shall not be liable for Additional Interest. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties, all payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in U.S. dollars.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party in good faith disputes any invoiced charge, payment of such charge shall be made only after mutual resolution of such dispute. Each Party agrees to notify the other Party promptly, and in no event later than the relevant Payment Date, of any disputed charge. Additional Interest shall not accrue on any amount in dispute and no default shall be alleged until after the relevant Payment Date.

(d) During the term of this Agreement, each Party shall keep such books, records and accounts as are reasonably necessary to verify the calculation of the fees and related expense for Services provided hereunder. Each Party shall provide documentation supporting any amounts invoiced pursuant to this Section 3.02 as the other Party may from time to time reasonably request. Each Party shall have the right to review such books, records and accounts at any time during normal business hours upon reasonable written notice, and each Party agrees to conduct any such review in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the other Party's normal business operations.

Section 3.03 Financial Responsibility for Personnel. Each Party will pay for all personnel and other related expenses, including salary or wages, of its employees performing the Services. No person providing Services to a Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to be, or shall have any rights as, an employee of such Party.

ARTICLE IV
TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS

Section 4.01 Trademarks and Service Marks. CMC agrees to permit UOL to use the trademarks and service marks owned by CMC and its Subsidiaries at no cost to UOL for use in UOL's annual report to stockholders, documentation relating to any of the UOL Services, and for any other similar

purpose, so long as CMC reviews and consents to such particular use, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

ARTICLE V
STANDARD OF SERVICE; SERVICES MANAGEMENT

Section 5.01 General Standard of Service. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties or as described in this Agreement, the Parties agree that the nature, quality and standard of care applicable to the delivery of the Services hereunder, and the skill levels of the employees providing such Services, shall be substantially the same as or consistent with those which each Party exercises or employs in providing similar services for itself and its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.02 Services Management.

(a) On or prior to the first day of each fiscal quarter, each Party will provide the other with a written estimate of the expected Service Costs, set forth in reasonable detail and by month, to be charged to the other Party for Services to be provided that quarter. The Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to reach an agreement as to estimated Service Costs for a fiscal quarter no later than the fifteenth (15^th) day of such quarter, and the Chief Financial Officer of each Party shall initial the document reflecting their agreement as to the estimated Service Costs (the "Quarterly Service Cost"). Except as set forth in this Section 5.02(a), the Quarterly Service Cost shall be the charges that will be invoiced to each Party by the other for Service Costs for such quarter. While the Quarterly Service Cost will contain estimates of Service Costs to be billed directly or indirectly from third parties, the Quarterly Service Cost will only constitute an estimate and the bills received from third parties will be the actual amounts invoiced. In the event that a Party becomes aware that the actual Service Cost being, or to be, incurred by a Party is materially different from that set forth in the Quarterly Service Cost, such Party will provide the other with a written estimate of the expected change and the Parties will negotiate in good faith to have the Quarterly Service Cost modified to reflect the actual cost (calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Schedules hereto). Any modification of the Quarterly Service Cost will be set forth in writing and initialed by the Chief Financial Officer of each Party. The Parties may from time to time agree to amend the process set forth in this Section 5.02(a).

(b) The Parties agree to work together and to cooperate with each other in good faith to develop an annual budget ("Annual Budget") to reflect the estimated annual Service Costs to each Party for each of the Services to be provided and/or procured by the other Party as contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties agree to use their reasonable efforts to harmonize the interests of the Parties to have quality services at affordable costs and to recover the costs of performing and/or procuring the Services. On or before December 31 of each calendar year, an Annual Budget for the next calendar year shall be submitted to the respective Chief Financial Officer of each of the Parties for review and approval. Such approval shall constitute approval of the Annual Budget by the Party represented by such person. The Annual Budget is for planning purposes and, unlike the Quartely Service Cost, shall not be the amounts billed one another under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Section 6.01 Indemnification Related to UOL Services. Each Party (the "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and its directors, officers, agents and employees (each an "Indemnified Person") from and against any loss, cost or damage related to, and to reimburse each Indemnified Person for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) as they are incurred in connection with pursuing or defending any third-party claim,

action or proceeding (collectively, "Actions") arising out of or relating to the Indemnifying Party's recklessness or willful misconduct in performing or failing to perform the Indemnifying Party's obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.02 Procedures for Defense, Settlement and Indemnification of the Third Party Claims. Each Party hereto agrees that Section 6.8 of the Master Transaction Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference into and made a part hereof mutatis mutandis.

(b) None of the CMC Entities shall have any liability to any UOL Entity or any other Person for failure to perform CMC's obligations under this Agreement or otherwise, where such failure to perform similarly affects the CMC Entities receiving the same or similar services and does not have a disproportionately adverse effect on the UOL Entities, taken as a whole. In addition, none of the UOL Entities shall have any liability to any CMC Entity or any other Person for failure to perform UOL's obligations under this Agreement or otherwise, where such failure to perform similarly affects the UOL Entities receiving the same or similar services and does not have a disproportionately adverse effect on the CMC Entities, taken as a whole.

ARTICLE VII
TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 7.01 Term. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VII or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, this Agreement shall have an initial term from the Offering Date through December 31, 2008 (the "Initial Term") and will be renewed automatically thereafter for successive one-year terms.

(e) Either Party may terminate the obligations under this Agreement as to any affected Service effective immediately upon written notice to the other Party if the performance of such Service (in all material respects as required hereby) would require such Party to violate any applicable laws, rules or regulations or would result in the breach of any applicable Contract in existence on the Offering Date.

(f) Except as provided in Section 7.02(a), termination of Services provided pursuant to any Schedule shall apply to the Schedule as a whole, not in part.

Section 7.03 Effect of Termination.

(a) Other than as required by law, upon the effective date of the termination of the obligations under this Agreement as to any Service pursuant to Section 7.01 or 7.02, or upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Party whose Service is terminated shall have no further obligation to provide the terminated Service (or any Service, in the case of termination of this Agreement) and the Party terminating such Service shall have no obligation to pay any CMC Service Costs or UOL Service Costs, as the case may be, relating to such terminated Service; provided that, notwithstanding such termination, (i) the Party terminating such Service shall remain liable to the Party whose Service is terminated for CMC Service Costs or UOL Service Costs, as the case may be, owed and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of the termination and (ii) the provisions of Articles V, VI, VII and VIII shall survive any such termination indefinitely. Any termination of the obligations under this Agreement as to any Service or upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms will not relieve a Party of any liability for breach hereof.
