Dear Gary:
During the past year and throughout all of our contract negotiations, we have

SCHEDULE 9: 1997 LABOR RATES
1. STANDARD LABOR & BENEFIT RATES
1.1 DEFINITION. Standardization of labor and benefit rates has been
agreed in order to simplify invoicing and open book audit processes for
the duration of this Call-Off Contract. Five position categories have
been identified Administrative, Technician, Analyst, Engineer and
Manager. All labor billable to NBA as Direct Costs will be provided by
a GCl employee associated with one of the above categories. Each
position category will have unique labor and benefit rates.
1.2 METHODOLOGY. Labor rates were established based via an analysis of
all labor provided during a 10 month period ending October, 1996. Each
employee providing service to NBA during this period was placed into one
of the five identified position categories. Actual hourly labor rates
for each employee within a category was determined and the average
hourly rate calculated as the position category labor rate. The numbers
below reflect these rates plus an increase of 1.5% for mid-year wage
increases.
A benefit analysis was conducted to determine allocations of GCI's
allowable benefits. The position category labor rate was subsequently
considered in order to arrive at a unique benefit rate for each
position category.
Table 11.1 shows approved labor and benefit rates for 1997.
---------------------------------------------------------------
POSITION CATEGORY LABOR RATE BENEFIT RATE
---------------------------------------------------------------
Administrative $13.55 32%

SCHEDULE 10: ADDITIONAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
Pursuant to discussions between NBA and GCI during development of the 1997 Call-
Off Contract, agreement to amend Section 40, "Remedies" of the approved
Framework Agreement was reached. This section is amended as follows:
40.2 Should the Contractor fail to meet stated Service Levels either through
failure to resolve a catastrophic Service outage within 48 hours or
through failure to resolve chronic and business impacting Service
problems within 60 days, NBA may at its discretion instruct the
Contractor to bring in re-allocated NBA personnel or agreed-upon
external resources in order to resolve the outage or chronic problem.
Following resolution of the outage or chronic problem, NBA and the
Contractor will convene a post-project review to establish actual cause
of the outage or problem, revise necessary process, and recommend
changes. Should the outage or problem be judged to be due to a
Contractor deficiency, the Contractor will bear the costs associated
with the re-allocated NBA personnel or agreed-upon external resources
in accordance with the terms of this Section. Should the outage or
problem be judged to be due to some other deficiency, NBA will bear the
costs associated with the re-allocated NBA personnel or agreed-upon
external resources.
