                     responsible  for all costs incurred if any equipment is not
                     approved by the PTCL prior to installation.

              (c)    Performance Criteria for VoIP Equipment

                     Listed  below  are  some of the key  features  of the  VoIP
                     Platform  that  will  need  to be  verified  prior  to  the
                     approval of the  equipment.  These items are provided as an
                     indicative   list  only  and  the  final  approval  of  the
                     equipment and its  acceptance  for interface  with the PTCL
                     network may be based on additional  items in the discretion
                     of PTCL:

                     (i)    The major  modules of the system,  e.g.  hard disks,
                            CPU, main memory etc. shall be duplicated;

                     (ii)   The  system   shall  be  highly   reliable  and  the
                            configuration  of the system  shall be such that the
                            stored data is not lost in any case due to faults in
                            the system.  This will need to be demonstrated under
                            different kinds of failure scenarios;

                     (iii)  The system  shall have  fully  redundant  back up to
                            cope with the malfunctioning of any part of the VoIP
                            Platform.  It shall have redundant processing units,
                            subscriber   database,    storage,    administrative
                            processors,  switching  network,  alarming devices /
                            systems etc.

       6.3    The Services

              (a)    The  Contractor  agrees  to  design,   install,   test  and
                     commission  at  entirely  its own cost and expense the VoIP
                     Platform at  Rawalpindi in PTCL premises as may be mutually
                     agreed by the Parties in writing. Once the VoIP Platform is
                     tested and commissioned into service, the Contractor agrees
                     that the VoIP  Platform  shall be handed over to PTCL at no
                     cost. For avoidance of doubt it is clarified that after the
                     equipment is handed over to PTCL, the Contractor  shall not
                     under any  circumstances  or for any reason claim return of

              (b)    The Contractor hereby represents and warrants that the VoIP
                     Platform shall be free from all material  defects and shall
                     be capable of terminating  international calls from the USA
                     and Europe within the performance  parameters  contemplated
                     by this Agreement.  Without  prejudice to the generality of
                     the foregoing, the Contractor agrees that the VoIP Platform
                     when used shall meet the performance  criteria set forth in
                     Section  6.2(c)  hereto.  The VoIP Platform  shall generate
                     data that presents a complete and accurate picture of usage
                     of VoIP Platform for termination of international calls. In
                     the  event  that  there is any  defect or fault in the VoIP
                     Platform during the term of this Agreement,  the Contractor
                     agrees to promptly  remedy such  defects  (including  spare
                     parts) at its own cost and expense.  The  Contractor  shall
                     use its best  endeavors  to ensure that any defect or fault
                     in the  VoIP  Platform  shall be  fully  remedied  within 3
                     (three) Days of such defects or fault arising.

              (C)    In  order  for  PTCL  to  make,  the  required   facilities
                     available to accommodate the VoIP Platform,  the Contractor
                     shall  submit to PTCL  details of its  requirements  in the
                     form of a site  preparation  plan within 7 (seven)  Days of
                     the  Effective  Date.  PTCL  shall  within 7  (seven)  Days
                     thereafter approve such plan or suggest changes therein. In
                     the  event  PTCL  does  not  communicate  its  decision  as
                     aforesaid,  the  site  preparation  plan  submitted  by the
                     Contractor  shall be deemed  acceptable,  provided  however
                     that,  the  Contractor  shall have at least 45 (forty five)
                     Days before the anticipated  Service  Commencement  Date to
                     implement such plan. The site preparation plan will consist
                     of  details of  requirements  for floor  space,  electrical
                     connectivity,  air-conditioning  etc.  If PTCL in its  sole
                     discretion  prepares a final plan, the  Contractor  will be
                     required to install the VoIP  Platform in  accordance  with
                     this final  plan.  In any event PTCL shall  supply  free of
                     charge   industry   standard   co-location   space  to  the
                     Contractor (As per Schedule VI).

              (d)    While  PTCL will  provide  all  available  assistance,  the
                     Contractor is completely responsible for performing its own
                     due diligence  regarding  the PTCL network for  interfacing
                     the VoIP Platform to the PSTN.

              (e)    PTCL and the Contractor will jointly  prepare  analysis for
                     the traffic  requirements and the consequent  sizing of the
                     connectivity requirements of the Contractor for each of the
                     VoIP Platform. The Contractor will

PAKISTAN

                     provide ample notice to PTCL for the interface requirements
                     for the VoIP Platform such that the final decision  between
                     the  Parties  in respect of the same is reached at least 45
                     (forty  five)  Days  prior  to  the   anticipated   Service
                     Commencement Date.  Similar  arrangements shall apply after
                     the Service  Commencement Date if the demand for use of the
                     VoIP service expands and consequently  greater connectivity
                     is required.

              (f)    The  Contractor  will  market  the VoIP  service in USA and
                     Europe at its own cost, expense and responsibility.

              (g)    The  Contractor   will  be  responsible   for   technically
                     establishing the new links from USA/EUROPE to VoIP Platform
                     in Pakistan  and between the VoIP  Platform and PTCL's PSTN
                     network  including  the cost of all  hardware/software  and
                     shall  be  responsible   for  providing  at  its  own  cost
                     appropriate  training  for the PTCL  staff to  ensure  that
                     there is a smooth and effective  interface between the VoIP
                     Platform and the PTCL Digital Transit Exchange (DTE).  PTCL
                     will  be   responsible   for   one-half   of  the  cost  of
                     connectivity  (or for the Pakistan half circuit in the case
                     of IPLC) between USA/"Europe" and Pakistan which may be, by
                     option of Contractor,  by (1) PTCL IP IPL between 60 Hudson
                     Street,   New  York  and   Pakistan,   (2)  IPLC  on  fiber
                     (SeMeWe3/FLAG,  etc.  and  onward  fiber),  or (3)  IPLC on
                     satellite,  and in any of these cases PTCL will  provide at
                     its expense all IP connectivity between cable head or earth
                     station in Pakistan and Contractor's POP in Rawalpindi.

              (h)    The  Contractor  shall  terminate only traffic from USA and
                     Europe through the VoIP Platform.  Contractor hereby agrees
                     to terminate 3 to 5 million  minutes per month per location
                     through the VoIP Platform  focusing on capturing of Illegal
                     Traffic.  In  consideration  of the Contractor  terminating
                     traffic under this Agreement,  fixed  terminations  rate of
                     US$  0.19 (US  cents  nineteen  only)  per  minute  will be
                     applicable  till the revision of the US carrier  settlement
                     rates  (bilateral  carrier  rate).  Subsequent  termination
                     benchmark  rate would be revised as provided for in Section
                     12.6 of this Agreement.

       Services and will inform the  Contractor of the reasons for not approving
       any such  equipment.  Any approval  provided by PTCL shall not in any way
       impact on or derogate from the obligation on the Contractor to obtain all

              with the  Contractor in finalizing  the  connectivity  requirement
              schedule and will not unreasonably delay such an arrangement.

       9.3    PTCL will  co-operate  with the  Contractor  and will  furnish the
              Contractor with all relevant information and data concerning PTCL,
              which PTCL and the Contractor  mutually  agree as appropriate  for
              determining  the  compatibility  of interfacing its equipment with
              the PTCL network.

10.    REPORTING OBLIGATIONS OF CONTRACTOR

       The  Contractor  shall  submit  to  PTCL  CDRs  generated  in a  platform
       installed in USA and Europe on a  fortnightly  basis.  CDRs for the first

       such  month,  and the CDRs for the second  fortnight  in the given  month
       shall be  submitted  on or before the 7th of the  following  month.  CDRs
       submitted  as  aforesaid  will  include  number  of  calls  and  recorded
       Terminated  Minutes on a per originating and destination basis, and shall
       be in the following format:

       -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Date      A-Tel*    B-Tel    Start    End Time    End Date   Duration
                                     Time
       -------------------------------------------------------------------------

       -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        * Note: Country Code will be a part of A-Tel.

11.    BILLING & PAYMENT The Contractor shall:

       i.     Keep  accurate and  systematic  accounts and records in respect of
              revenues  generated  from sale of VoIP  service  to  Customers  in
              accordance with  internationally  accepted accounting  principles.
              For avoidance of doubt it is clarified that CDRs will be generated
              on per  second  basis,  however,  will be  charged on the basis of
              cumulative  minutes.  (e.g.  if the  total  number  of  cumulative
              seconds in a billing period is 106,800,261,  then the total number
              of minutes to be billed at the Termination  Rate will be 1,780,004
              minutes).

       ii     (a)    Submit CDRs generated in a platform installed in USA/Europe
                     to PTCL under  Clause 10 above.  Such CDRs will be compared
                     with records  created in the PTCL transit  exchanges.  PTCL
                     will  generate  bills  based  on  figures  at PTCL  transit
                     exchanges. However, the CDRs supplied by the

                                     - 11 -

PAKISTAN

                     Contractor  must be in a format  readable  by PTCL  billing
                     centers.  Subject to provisions of sub clause (b) below, in
                     case of any variation between the Contractor's CDRs and the
                     figures    generated   through   CDRs   of   PTCL   transit
                     exchanges/VoIP   Platform,  the  PTCL  CDRs  figures  shall
                     (subject to paragraphs  (b) and (c) below) be considered as
                     final and  conclusive for the purpose of billing under this
                     "Agreement".  Amount  so  determined  and  billed  shall be
                     binding on the Contractor.

              (b)    In case of any discrepancy in CDR's  reconciliation  (where
                     PTCL  CDR   shows   more   minutes   terminated   than  the
                     Contractor's  CDR) up to 0.75% or less of the relevant CDR,
                     the Contractor  shall not make the same a basis for dispute
                     and shall pay the same.  However,  the  contractor  will be
                     given due  opportunity  to  highlight  any  discrepancy  in
                     PTCL's  CDR for  correction  and if,  such  discrepancy  is
                     accepted by the PTCL the  contractor  shall be entitled for
                     the credit. In case, the discrepancy exceeds the afore said
                     figure of 0.75 %, the  Contractor  shall pay the undisputed
                     amount and the parties will resort to mutual  negotiations,
                     reconciliation and settlement for the disputed amount.

              (c)    If the  settlement  is not arrived at amicably  within four
                     weeks,  the  dispute  may be  resolved  through the dispute
                     resolution  mechanisms provided in this agreement or as may
                     otherwise be agreed between the parties.

       iii.   be billed  fortnightly for the number of minutes multiplied by the
              agreed  rate which is US$ 0.19 (US cents  nineteen)  per minute at
              present.  The bill will be e-mailed/faxed to the Contractor or its
              designated  agent,  which  shall  be the  valid  document  for the
              purpose  of  payments.  However,  for the  purposes  of record and
              fulfillment of other contractual requirements,  the hard copies of
              such invoices  shall later on be provided to the contractor by the
              PTCL.

       iv.    solely be  responsible  for the payment  within  seven days of the
              "confirmed"   issuance/transmission   of   the   invoice   through
              e-mail/fax.  The date and time for the payment shall be calculated
              from  the  date of  issuance/transmission  of such  invoices.  For
              avoidance of any doubt it is hereby  clarified  that only the date
              of  credit  of  payment  into the  "Designated  Account"  shall be
              considered as payment receipt date.

       v.     solely  be  responsible  for  the  suspension  of  service  at the
              discretion of the PTCL for such period of time till the payment is
              not made within stipulated

              period  of time.  PTCL  shall  have the  right  to  terminate  the
              "Agreement" if the service is suspended due to non-payment.

12.    CHARGES AND DEPOSITS

       12.1   Proposal Security

              To determine its seriousness in the project,  an amount of Rs. 5.0
              (M)  (rupees  five  million  only)  or   US$.84,000   (US  Dollars
              Eighty-four   Thousand   only)  per  site  in  the  shape  of  pay
              order/demand  draft  issued by any  Pakistani  scheduled  Banks as
              proposal  security  was  deposited  by  the  contractor  with  the
              Pakistan  Telecommunication  Company Limited (PTCL). This proposal
              security will be refunded to the  Contractor  after the receipt of
              full amount of rolling advance. Failure to deposit rolling advance
              within the stipulated  period of time so explained in Clause 11 of
              the  "Agreement"  shall result in the  forfeiture  of the proposal
              security without any notice.

       12.2   Rolling Advance for Billing

              12.2.1 The  Contractor  shall  within  15  (fifteen)  days  of the
                     Effective Date of the  "Agreement"  deposit and maintain in
                     the  "Designated  Account" a cash rolling advance to secure
                     amounts due from the  Contractor  under this  Agreement  in
                     respect  of  calls  terminating  through  use of  the  VoIP
                     Platform.  The Rolling Advance shall be based on the PTCL's
                     billing estimate for 30 (Thirty) Days following the Service
                     Commencement  Date and the  minimum  amount of the  rolling
                     advance  (regardless of actual billing) shall be based on 3
                     (three) million  Terminated  Minutes per month per site. In
                     case the  Terminated  Minutes  per month  increase  above 3
                     (three) million, the rolling advance shall be increased PRO
                     RATA.  The rolling  advance will be topped up in accordance
                     with  the   procedure   laid  down  in   clause-12  of  the
                     "Agreement"  and the  amount of  rolling  advance  shall be
                     maintained by the contractor  until the  termination of the
                     "Agreement"   and  thereafter   till  the  full  and  final
                     settlement  of its amounts due to PTCL.  In the event there
                     are no amounts due to PTCL from the Contractor, the balance
                     of the rolling  advance  shall be  refunded.  No  interest,
                     profit or other return shall accrue on the rolling  advance
                     to the Contractor.  Whenever  traffic exceeds three million
                     minutes in a calendar month,  PTCL will issue the notice to
                     the contactor for topping up the rolling  advance,  and the
                     Contractor  shall  within 7 (seven) Days top up the rolling
                     advance.  In case  Contractor  fails to top up the  rolling
                     advance,  PTCL may at its sole discretion and without prior
                     notice to the Contractor  terminate this Agreement  without
                     prejudice to

                     of PTCL or to which PTCL may in the future be  entitled  to
                     under this Agreement.

              12.2.2 If  as  a  direct  consequence  of  any  act,  omission  or
                     violation  committed by the  Contractor in connection  with
                     the provision of the Services (as  reasonably  demonstrated
                     by PTCL),  the non-VoIP  traffic of PTCL from either USA or
                     Europe decreases as set forth in Schedule-III hereto, other
                     than  as a  result  of  migration  of  some  percentage  of
                     Contractor's  existing  traffic on the VoIP platform,  then
                     the  Contractor  will,  in addition to being  liable to pay
                     PTCL in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the
                     VoIP  traffic  routed  through  the VoIP  Platform,  become
                     liable to pay  compensation  to PTCL as calculated  and set
                     forth in Schedule IV. The maximum  compensation  claimed by
                     PTCl  shall not be more than the  total  number of  minutes
                     that  have  been  terminated  by the  Contractor  for  that
                     period.  PTCL will gave no more that 30 days  after the end
                     of the billing cycle to make such claim. All such claims by
                     PTCL will be made in writing  after the end of thirty  (30)
                     days of the billing cycle shall be invalid.  The Contractor
                     shall however render all possible  assistance,  cooperation
                     and support to PTCL to  identify  parties  responsible  for
                     terminating  voice traffic  bypassing PTCL's  International
                     Gateways.

       12.3   The  Contractor  shall be liable  to pay PTCL for each  Terminated
              Minute of an  incoming  call  routed  through  the VoIP  Platform.
              Regardless  of the total number of incoming  calls routed  through
              VoIP  Platform,  the  Contractor  will make a  minimum  guaranteed
              payment to PTCL  based on 3 (three)  million  incoming  Terminated
              Minutes of VoIP  Platform  per month per site,  unless it has been
              precluded  from passing the minimum number of minutes due to Force
              Majeure.  Keeping in view initial traffic  built-up  process,  the
              minimum 3 (three)  million  Terminated  Minutes per month per site
              will be averaged over a period of 3 (three) months.  However,  the
              Rolling Advance will increase to cover the difference of 3 (three)
              million  Terminated Minutes and actual traffic for that month. For
              example  if the  traffic  for a  month  is  only 1  (one)  million
              Terminated  Minutes  the Rolling  Advance  will be topped up by an
              amount equal to 2 (two) Million  Terminated  Minutes multiplied by
              US$ 0.19 (US cents nineteen) US$ 380,000.  However the payment for
              first 3 (three)  months will be for a minimum of 9 (nine)  Million
              Terminated Minutes.

       12.4   The  Contractor  shall make all due payments  under this Agreement
              (as per relevant  Clauses/Schedules) in PTCL's Designated account,
              which  will not be subject to any  deductions,  counter-claims  or
              set-off.

              shall not be more than US$ 0.19 (US cents nineteen) per minute and
              shall be reviewed at least  biannually on 1st January and 1st July
              every year in the light of bilateral  settlement  accounting rates

              extended by the period of such delay.

       13.3   Notwithstanding  13.2,  if PTCL does not stay within the timetable
              for its tasks as set forth in the attached  Milestone Schedule VI,
              then at the request of Contractor,  the Rolling Advance on deposit
              with PTCL and the equipment shall, within five (5) days after such
              request,  be returned to Contractor and the Agreement  shall stand
              terminated   if  the  overall  delay  is  more  than  four  weeks,
              otherwise,  if the  overall  delay is equal to or less  than  four
              weeks,  then PTCL will pay  interest  on the  Rolling  Advance  to
              Contractor  at the rate of LIBOR (as  measured on the first day of
              delay) plus 2% per annum for the total number of days of delay.

              perform such action as a result of Force Majeure.

       17.6   Consultation

              Not later than 14 (fourteen)  Days after a Party has become unable

                best  efforts  to agree on such  action as may be  necessary  to

                to this agreement shall not exceed the

                originating  points to safeguard  interests of both the Parties.
                The  Parties  agree as to the  manner  and the  mechanism  to be
                adopted (on best effort basis).

                Incumbent  Carrier for diversion of normal bilateral  traffic on

                bilateral traffic of PTCL meaning only gray area traffic will be
                addressed. A list of the Incumbent Carriers is attached herewith
                as Schedule-V.  Any change thereof shall be duly communicated to
                the Contractor.

        29.10   It is mutually  agreed and  understood  that this  agreement  is
                being  executed  on a  non-exclusive  basis.  Nothing  contained
                herein  shall  curtail,  limit or restrict  the right of PTCL to
                enter  into  similar  agreements  with other  parties.  Provided
                always  that  none  of  the  other   parties  shall  be  offered
                commercial terms more beneficial than those contained herein.

        29.11   All  obligations  outside  Pakistan  whether  in  respect of the
                Services  or in  respect  of  incoming  traffic  into  the  VoIP
                Platform  shall be the sole  responsibility  of the  Contractor.
                PTCL  shall  in any way  neither  be  responsible  nor  shall be
                considered  as  providing  any  Service  outside  Pakistan  as a
                consequence of this Agreement. The Contractor hereby indemnifies
                PTCL in respect of any  conclusive  action against PTCL directly
                pertaining  to this  Agreement or the  performance  of its terms
                herein where the action relates to a matter which was the result
                of any direct or indirect act or omission of the contractor.

        29.12   The Contractor  hereby  acknowledges  and declares that it is an
                independent Contractor for the performance of Services mentioned
                herein and no relationship  of Agency,  Licensee or sub Licensee
                between  PTCL and the  Contractor  is  created by virtue of this
                Agreement.

        29.13   The  Contractor  undertakes  to  make,  during  the term of this
                Agreement,  complete  written  disclosure  of its  existing  and
                future  business  and  agreements   executed  relating  to  VoIP
                services,  which  directly or indirectly  lead to termination of
                traffic into Pakistan.

        29.14   The PTCL  shall  have the right to  inspect  the VoIP  Platforms
                installed,  owned  and  operated  by the  Contractor  in USA and
                Europe, which relate to termination of traffic into Pakistan.

        provisions of Clause 11, the  Contractor  shall still be obliged to make
        payment by the Due Date in accordance with PTCL's  fortnightly  accounts
        settlement statement in the Designated Account.

        ii)     In case the  Contractor  fails to make  the  payment  by the Due
        Date,  then PTCL may, at its sole  discretion  having provided four days
        prior notice in writing (during which period,  Contractor may remedy the
        breach and prevent  termination  of the  Agreement),  to the  Contractor
        terminate the Agreement without prejudice to any other interest or claim
        that may have  accrued  in  favour  of PTCL or to which  PTCL may in the
        future be entitled to under the Agreement.

b)      ROLLING ADVANCE CALCULATION FOR THIRTY (30) DAYS & APPLICABILITY

        The Contractor shall deposit in the Designated  Account an amount of US$
        570,000  (Five hundred and seventy  thousand  US$) i.e. the  termination
        price of 3 million  minutes  (minimum  traffic for thirty days) per VoIP
        Platform @ US$ 0.19 (US cents nineteen) per minute within 15 days of the
        Effective  Date.  This is the minimum amount of rolling  advance for the
        commencement of VoIP Service, rolling advance for subsequent months will
        be calculated for a minimum of 3 (three) million  Terminated Minutes per
        month for one month (30 days) at the applicable rate.

Topping Up/Down Procedure
-------------------------

        In case, the per month per VoIP Platform site termination  traffic rises
        above 3 (three)  million  minutes,  the 30 (thirty) days Rolling Advance
        shall be increased by the Contractor pro-rata over and above the minimum
        amount  specified  above. If the traffic through any VoIP Platform is in
        excess of 3 (three) million minutes per month per site, within 7 (seven)
        days  following  the end of such  month,  the Rolling  Advance  shall be
        topped  up and  if  decreases  will  be  topped  down  according  to the
        following procedure:

                i.      PTCL shall determine the traffic for the preceding month
                        on the basis of data  available to PTCL.  The  recording
                        and  accounting  shall be a  permanent  feature for each
                        succeeding month during the currency of the Agreement.

                ii.     PTCL shall give notice to the  Contractor to deposit the
                        additional  amount  determined  by  PTCL  to  top up the
                        Rolling  Advance  and  accordingly  the PTCL  shall make
                        payment  to the  contractor  to  top  down  the  rolling
                        advance,  as a result of traffic recorded in PTCL system
                        according to the following example:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                iii.    Within 7 (seven)  days after the  issuance  date of such
                        notice from PTCL, the  Contractor  shall make payment of
                        the  incremental   amount  notified  by  PTCL  into  the
                        Designated Account.

                iv.     In  case  the  Contractor  fails  to top up the  Rolling
                        Advance as set forth above,  PTCL  reserves the right to
                        terminate the Agreement forthwith.

        c)      Traffic    Dilution    Compensation    amount    calculation   &
                Reconciliation Procedure

        Subject to and as limited by Section 12.2.2 of this  Agreement,  for any
        month the  Contractor  will be liable  to pay PTCL  compensation  if the
        international  traffic from the USA and Europe routed  through  non-VoIP
        routes not utilizing the VoIP Platform, falls below the average that may
        have been expected in such month from such area, such averages (allowing
        for the  expected  13% annual  increase  in  volume)  being set forth in
        Schedule-III   hereto   for  the  USA  and  Europe   collectively.   The
        compensation  amount  for each  month  shall be the number of minutes by
        which  the  traffic  falls  below  the  average  multiplied  by  carrier
        settlement  rate minus  Contractor  settlement  rate.  The  compensation
        figure will be calculated  monthly  following  the Service  Commencement
        Date  to  determine  if any  compensation  amount  is  payable  to  PTCL
        hereunder  and if so what  amount.  The  compensation  amount  shall  be
        payable by the Contractor to PTCL along with its fortnightly  bill given
        in Clause  11.  PTCL's  calculation  of the same shall be binding on the
        Contractor.  The Rolling Advance will be adjusted  against  compensation
        amounts  due from the  Contractor  and  following  such  adjustment  the
        Contractor will be liable forthwith to top up the Rolling Advance.

In case the Contractor fails to pay the compensation  amount claimed or fails to
top up the Rolling  Advance as set forth above.  The method for  calculation  of
compensation for dilution of bilateral traffic is provided hereunder:

        i)      In order to setup  mechanism  to safeguard  against  dilution of
                PTCL   legal    incoming    traffic,    such   traffic    growth
                statistics/statement   and  graphs  for  last  five  years  with
                established   compound  annual  growth  (CAGR)  are  annexed  as
                Schedule-III.  The benchmark  line so  established  would be the
                basis of control mechanism against dilution of legal traffic for
                the purpose of application of relevant  clauses.  The statistics
                and  graph  also  include  traffic  variation  patterns  such as
                seasonal  trends.  Any variation of (-) 5% VoIP measured traffic
                from USA and Europe  over the  benchmark  line (and  established
                seasonal  pattern) would be the basis of application of relevant
                clause for determining the dilution of legal traffic.

        ii)     To safeguard  PTCL's  aforesaid legal  benchmark-line  including
                growth,  PTCL will provide monthly data in specified  pattern to
                the  Contractor  for  information  about any  variation.  If the
                variations   are  within  (-)  5%  limit  of  VoIP   traffic  no
                compensation shall be payable by the Contractor.

        iii)    In case of variation over (-) 5% limit of the minimum guaranteed
                (three million) VoIP traffic INTER ALIA the following corrective
                and remedial measures would become necessary:

                A.      The Parties will analyze the reasons for  variation  and
                        mutually agree on corrective  measures within time limit
                        of one week. If reasons of variation are due to seasonal
                        or  temporary  in nature then no  compensation  shall be
                        payable by the Contractor.

                B.      If the reasons for  variation are found to be beyond the
                        control of both the Parties,  the Parties  shall equally
                        share  the loss of  traffic.  For  avoidance  of  doubt,
                        Contractor's liability in this regard will be restricted
                        to US Cents 4 per minute (that is:  bilateral rate minus
                        VoIP rate, which is US Cents 23 .00 minus US Cents 19.00
                        ,  equal to US Cents 4 ) until  revision  of US  carrier
                        settlement rate (bilateral  carrier rate) of the diluted
                        traffic.

                C.      In case of continuous  variation  over a period of three
                        monthly  the  Parties  may   exercise   their  right  of
                        termination.

d)      Charges & Conditions to terminate Incoming Traffic in VoIP Platform

        i)      Only traffic from  USA/Europe  shall be  terminated  through the
                VoIP  Platform.  Contractor  hereby  agrees to  terminate 3 to 5
                million minutes per month of VoIP Platform focusing on capturing
                of Illegal Traffic.

        ii)     Termination rate of US$ 0.19 (US cents nineteen) per minute will
                be  applicable  until  revision  of US carrier  settlement  rate
                (bilateral carrier rate) . Subsequent  termination rate would be
                kept up to 15% below the US Carrier  Settlement  Rate (bilateral
                carrier rate) and the same shall be automatically revised inline
                with US Carrier Settlement Rate.

        iii)    The  VoIP   service   shall  be  operated   only  for   incoming
                international  calls  from  the USA  and  Europe  routed  as per
                network topology agreed between the Parties.

The Contractor will ensure that only identified calling party is given access to
VoIP Gateway. The CDR provided to PTCL as per Clause 11(ii) must also contain
identity of calling party. Up to (twenty-five) 25% un-identified calling numbers
will be accepted and no further investigation carried out.
