Indemnified   Party's  prior  written  consent,   which  consent  shall  not  be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(18) Force  Majeure.  Neither  Party  shall be liable  (except  for  payment for
services  rendered)  for  service  interruptions,  delays,  failures to perform,
damages,  losses  or  destruction,  or  malfunction  of  any  equipment  or  any
consequence thereof cause by or due to fire, flood, water, the elements, acts of
God,  war, and threat of imminent war,  utility  curtailments,  power  failures,
explosions, civil disturbances, governmental actions, shortages of equipment for
supplies, unavailability of transportation,  acts or omissions of third parties,

delayed or prevented from performing shall exercise good faith efforts to remedy
any such cause of delay or cause preventing performance. The existence of such a
situation  for a duration  longer than fifteen (15)  calendar days shall entitle
either Party to terminate this Agreement  without  liability to the other Party,
except  for any  undisputed  payment  for  services  rendered,  subject to prior
written notice.

(19)  Entire Agreement - This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
the  Parties  and  supersedes  all  previous   understandings,   commitments  or
representations concerning its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended
or modified in any way, and none of its  provisions  may be waived,  except by a
writing signed by an authorized officer of each Party.

(20)  Severability  - In the  event  that  any  one or  more  of the  provisions
contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid,  illegal
or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall
be construed as if such invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable  provision had never
been  contained  herein.  Further,  in the  event  that  any  provision  of this
Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by virtue of its
scope or period of time, but may be enforceable  by a limitation  thereof,  such
provision  shall be deemed to be


                                       9

amended  to  the  minimum  extent  necessary  to  render  it  valid,  legal  and
enforceable or in the alternative  both Parties shall negotiate in good faith to
substitute  for such invalid,  illegal,  or  unenforceable  provision a mutually
acceptable provision that is consistent with the original intent of the Parties.

(21) Non-Waiver of Breach - Each Party may specifically waive any breach of this
Agreement by the other Party,  provided  that no such waiver shall be binding or
effective  unless in writing and no such waiver  shall  constitute  a continuing
waiver of similar or subsequent  breaches. A waiving Party may at any time, upon
notice in writing,  direct  future  compliance  with the waived term or terms of
this  Agreement,  in which event the  breaching  Party shall  comply as directed
thereafter.

(22)  Notices - All notices  and other  communications  shall be in English,  in
writing,  and  shall  be  deemed  received  upon  actual  delivery  (if  sent by
messenger,  overnight  courier or certified mail,  return receipt  requested) or

related  operational  costs, fees inclusive of licenses,  deposits and any other
upfront  costs and any other  financial  obligations  needed in  Pakistan.  This
amount shall  initially be equivalent  to a percentage of the costs  computed by
dividing the costs  pursuant to the  immediate  preceding  sentence by the total
costs  incurred by both  parties in bringing  the VoIP  Project  into  operation
together with any additional capital  investments that have to be made by either
party during the operation of the VoIP Project (hereinafter referred to as "THIL
Percentage  Share"),  provided however that THIL's share of the profits shall at

          c.   Once THIL has  reimbursed  Fusion from the profits or  otherwise,
               the difference  between 25% and the THIL Percentage  Share,  then

               share of the  profits to an amount up to, but not to exceed  30%.
