ADDENDUM B
PROCESS DEFINITIONS

1. DELIVERY AND HANDLING OF END USER TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CALLS
1.1. End users who are calling for support on the target products
will call 1 (800) 724-6631. This phone number will be owned by HP,
but will ring at the Seller's location. HP will incur all phone
company service tariffs associated with (800) 724-6631.
1.2. The Seller's Voice Response Unit (VRU) will route the calls
as defined by HP.
1.3. The customer's product registration will be verified by the
Seller. If the customer's product is not registered, the Technician
will perform product registration before technical assistance is
provided.
1.4. The Seller Technician will answer the customer call based on
information in the Seller knowledge base or in HP product
documentation. If information pertaining to the customer question
does not exist, the Technician will note this deficiency in the
Seller call tracking system.
1.5. The Seller Technician will create a call summary for every
call handled. This call summary will be recorded in the Seller call
tracking system.
1.6. In the event that the customer must be escalated for either
technical or customer satisfaction reasons, the Technician will do
so as documented in Customer Satisfaction Escalations section of
Addendum B.
1.7. The Seller will assist customers with software installation
questions for all non-Microsoft software products which are bundled
with the HP Personal Computer. The Seller will provide full
software support (including installation and usage assistance) for
any Microsoft software product which is bundled with the HP Personal
Computer.
1.8. Based on history, some Customers who do not own an HP
Multimedia computer will call 800 724-6631. The Seller will
redirect these customers to the appropriate HP location. A phone
list of other HP locations will be provided to the Seller by HP.

2. DELIVERY AND HANDLING OF END USER HARDWARE FAILURE CALLS
2.1. In the event that a customer calls for technical assistance
and the customer is identified as having some sort of hardware
failure, the Technician will take one of two action paths:
a. If the customer's product failure is related to a user
replaceable part, as defined by HP (such as speakers,
microphone, combo card, keyboard, or mouse) the Seller will
process the order through the Seller's current relationship
and processes that are in place with HP SMO.
b. If the customer's product failure is related to a
non-user replaceable part or sub-assembly, the Seller will
initiate an on-site repair Customer Support Order (CSO)
through the HP SupportLine system.
c. Due to the expensive nature of warranty repairs, the
Seller will work to constantly improve the fault isolation
process thus minimizing No Parts Used (NPU) for on site
repairs and No Trouble Found (NTF) for on-site and
replacement parts service. As HP gather additional
information regarding the products covered in this Agreement,

the Customer name, phone number, address, Seller contact and problem
description will be recorded and sent either electronically or by
fax immediately to the HP Customer Support Center escalation
department at (208) 396-4492. A record of this action will be
recorded in the Seller's call tracking system. The call will remain
in a open status upon escalation.
4.1.1. Examples of customer satisfactions include:
- The customer believes HP owes money
to the customer (perhaps a product buy-back, warranty
extension, etc).
- Some portion of the customer request
will cause HP to spend money above the cost of technical
phone assistance.
- the customer is questioning some HP
policy or procedure.

call.
4.3. The CSC escalation department will provide resolution
information to the Seller, and the call status will be modified to
closed by the Seller.

expectation about possible resolution beyond the telling the
customer their call if being forwarded to the Customer Support
Quality department.

5. TECHNICAL ESCALATIONS

7.2.3. The service level objective described in paragraph 7.2 above
will be met by the Seller up to the upper bound of the
forecast described above in paragraph 7.2.2. Beyond the upper
bound of the forecast, the seller will make every reasonable
attempt to service all callers as quickly as possible. HP
will consider service level degradation as predicted by the
Erlang C queuing model to be acceptable performance of the
Seller.
7.3. No call blockage is acceptable. Call blockage means: there
are not enough phone lines to handle the call demand and the
Customer receives a busy signal.
7.4. Call resolution rate (the number of customer contacts
required to reach resolution on a single problem), as identified by
the HP customer satisfaction survey, will not differ between the
Seller and HP CSC. HP will report call resolution rates to the

================================================================================

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Our company's reputation means a lot to us. It's an asset money can't buy. It
opens doors for us when we call on customers, when we look for business
partnerships, when we deal with governments, and when we work to improve the
communities in which we operate. By all measures, HP enjoys one of the best
reputations any company has -- in any business -- anywhere in the world.

This hasn't happened by accident. Over the years employees at every level have
endeavored to build HP's reputation by fair and honest dealing in every
business transaction and relationship. Maintaining this reputation is a
critical objective for all entity managers. We expect every employee to make
this a personal responsibility as well.

These Standards of Business Conduct are intended to inform all employees of
their legal and ethical obligations to HP, its customers, competitors and
suppliers. Simply stated, every HP employee must comply with these standards.
I expect all managers to review these standards with their employees every year
in order to answer questions and to ensure compliance. Failure to comply with
these standards is regarded as misconduct and may result in termination of
employment.

Sometimes you may believe an HP employee has engaged in unethical or illegal
conduct. In this situation, you are expected to notify a manager or the
Personnel Department. As an alternative, a post
office box has been established by HP's Corporate Legal Department for
worldwide use to receive information on a confidential basis. The address is:
Hewlett-Packard Company
Corporate Legal Department (20 BQ)
Post Office Box 50161
Palo Alto, CA 94303-0890

The day-to-day performance of each of us adds to -- or subtracts from -- HP's
reputation as a company. Uncompromising integrity is part of the HP Way and
part of every HP job; it always has been, it always will be.

Lew Platt
President and
Chief Executive Officer

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
GENERAL POLICY
Although you are generally free to engage in personal financial and
business transactions, this freedom is not unlimited. You must
avoid situations where your loyalties may be divided between HP's
interests and your own interests. HP wants you to conduct yourself
so that you do not even appear to have a conflict. You can avoid
most unacceptable conflicts by following the rules described below.

OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT
What are the limits on my working for another company or having my
own business? HP policy does not prohibit all outside employment,
but does forbid any outside employment that could lead to divided
loyalties. The following examples illustrate some of the
limitations on outside work:

*You may not be an employee, consultant or contractor for any
competitor of any HP division or operation. Example: you may not
work for a company which makes computers or peripheral products,
even if your division makes unrelated products.

*You may not be an employee, consultant or contractor for any HP
customer or supplier without written approval from your entity
manager. Further, you may not have more than one HP employment
status at a time. Example: you may not be an employee at one
division and also a consultant to another HP entity.

*You may not sell services or products similar to HP's services or
products. Example: you may not service HP products on your own
time.

*You may not engage in activities which support or promote a
competitor's products or services. Example: you may not write and
sell software for a competitor's products.

*You may not accept a position with another company if the time
demands of the position interfere with your HP job. Example: a
position which required receiving phone calls during your HP work
hours would not be acceptable.

PERSONAL BENEFIT FROM HP BUSINESS
When would it be wrong for me to benefit personally from conducting
HP business?

You must disclose all situations where you may be conducting HP
business with friends or family members. You must obtain written
approval from your entity manager before conducting business with
these individuals and you must remove yourself from any involvement
in the decision to retain their services. Thus, you would need
approval to hire your brother-in-law to do repair work on an HP
facility. If the entity manager approves, the transaction should
be handled by your manager or another department, and proposals
from competing businesses should be considered.

You may not personally benefit (other than your compensation from
HP) from any transaction undertaken on behalf of HP. For example,
a sales representative may not accept anything of value from an HP
reseller in return for promoting that company's products.

You may participate in published frequent traveler programs, except
those offering cash refunds. However, you may not participate in
frequent purchaser programs outside the travel industry. As an
example, you may not accept equipment from an office supply vendor
based on HP's purchases.

GRATUITIES FROM THIRD PARTIES

Addendum E - Page 2 of 5

Companies often exchange gifts. What can I accept?

Other than inexpensive advertising novelties or business meals and
entertainment, you and your immediate family may not accept any
gift, payment, loan, or other favor from a customer, supplier or
competitor.

Care should be exercised in accepting business meals and
entertainment. Such activities should be infrequent, consistent
with accepted business practices, and for the express purpose of
furthering a business relationship. You should not accept payment
of travel expenses by a customer or supplier without prior entity
manager approval. Some HP organizations may adopt more restrictive
rules in these matters.

In rare circumstances, local custom may call for an exchange of
gifts having more than nominal value as part of a business
relationship with a foreign company. In these situations you may
only accept such gifts on behalf of HP and with the approval of
your entity manager. Such gifts should be turned over to HP for
appropriate disposition such as HP internal use, general employee
benefit or donation to charity.

OUTSIDE DIRECTORSHIPS
What if I am asked to be a director for another organization?

You may not accept a position as a director of any HP competitor.
You may not accept a position as director of a company which
supports or promotes a competitor's products or services, without
prior approval of the Management Staff. Before becoming a director
of any HP customer or supplier, you must obtain the prior approval
of HP's president or an HP executive vice president. If you
encounter any situation as a director which conflicts with HP's
interests, you will need either to withdraw from participation in
the decision or resign as a director.

You may not receive separate compensation (including stock options)
for service on the board of directors of a company if the service
is at HP's request or in connection with an HP investment in, or
relationship with, that company.

FINANCIAL INTERESTS IN OTHER BUSINESSES
What personal investments are not acceptable?

You may not have a financial interest in any HP customer, supplier
or competitor that might cause divided loyalty or even the
appearance of divided loyalty. Whether there is divided loyalty
depends upon many factors, including: (a) your ability to
influence HP decisions that affect your personal interests; (b)
the size of the investment relative to your finances; and (c) the
nature of the relationship between HP and the other business.

REPORTING POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
When should I report an outside activity?

You do not have to report every outside activity. However, you
must promptly disclose in writing to your entity manager any actual
or potential conflicts of interest. The manager will review the
matter and communicate HP's position in writing.

The manager will indicate either (a) that HP has no present
objection to the relationship, subject to future review, or (b) the
steps you must take to resolve the conflict to HP's satisfaction.
Copies of the response and your disclosure will be kept in your
personnel file.

When reviewing a potential conflict, HP will consider the following
questions:

HANDLING COMPANY INFORMATION
GENERAL POLICY
HP business information is company property which may not be
disclosed outside HP unless properly released to the public by HP.
If you disclose information about existing, new, or proposed
products or processes, it can hurt HP's competitive position and
jeopardize R&D efforts.

You must be sure that confidential or proprietary information is
appropriately safeguarded against external disclosure as well as
unauthorized disclosure within HP. Remember, when you store
sensitive HP data on a personal computer or workstation, you are
also responsible for applying the appropriate level of protection.
Under no circumstances should you disclose it to third parties
without prior approval from the responsible department manager.
Where business needs require such information to be disclosed
outside HP, you must complete appropriate confidential disclosure
agreements before disclosure. You should be equally careful when
releasing prototypes or models.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION GUIDELINES
How do I know how sensitive certain information is?

HP has established guidelines for marking and handling sensitive
information. These guidelines establish four classes of sensitive
information. No other legends or designations should be used
within HP. For a more detailed discussion of how to handle
confidential and proprietary HP information, you should consult the
agreement signed by employees at the time of hiring and the HP
brochure called "Protecting HP Trade Secrets".

* "HP Private - Not To Be Copied" - This designation is used
for information generated solely for management use to make major
decisions and must not be disclosed outside HP. "HP Private"
documents may be numbered for greater control and must not be
reproduced without written
permission of the originator. Examples include non-public
consolidated financial information, strategic business plans,
significant technical product data, R&D proposals and certain
product marketing strategies. "HP Private" documents must be
disposed of by shredding.

* "HP Confidential" - This designation is used for
information which if disclosed would damage HP's interests, such as
non-public organization charts, and other kinds of personnel
information, bids, sales forecasts, lab notebooks and customer
lists. "HP Confidential" documents should be disposed of by
shredding.

* "For HP Internal Use Only" - This designation is used for
information that will have broad distribution, but which is
considered sensitive and should not go outside HP, such as the
International Telephone and Communications Directory. In addition,
an appropriate designation such as "HP and HP Channel Partner
Internal Use Only" may be used for documents such as product
training materials which the business unit specifically decides may
be shared with HP resellers or other third party channels.

* "HP Proprietary" - This designation is used for drawings or
other documents containing proprietary information made available
to HP suppliers or other third parties. These drawings should not
be duplicated or disclosed except as authorized by the responsible
HP person.

HANDLING COMPANY ASSETS
GENERAL POLICY
Each employee must take care to safeguard HP's assets. This
includes protecting them from unauthorized use. Use of HP assets
for any unlawful or improper purpose is strictly prohibited.

COMMENTING ABOUT COMPETITORS
GENERAL POLICY
Competition is a fact of business life. HP emphasizes the quality
of its products and avoids disparaging comments about competitors
or their products. When you talk about a competitor or its
products, the statements must be fair, factual and complete.

BUSINESS PRACTICES INVOLVING BOTH END USER AND RESELLERS
GENERAL POLICY
You must deal fairly and honestly with HP's customers. You should
exercise caution when offering discounts on purchases of different
product combinations. Exchange of confidential information is not
permitted without a written agreement.

CLOSING COMMENT
The practices in this brochure are only some of the legal and ethical standards
you must observe as an HP employee. Each employee has an important
responsibility to help maintain HP's reputation for the highest standards of
integrity. If you have any questions, contact your supervisor who will in turn
contact the HP liaison..
