          efforts  to  meet  each  milestone  in the Schedule for delivering the
          Technology.  SurfNet  agrees that the Services shall be performed in a
          professional  manner and shall be of a high grade, nature and quality.
          Throughout  the  Term:

          4.1.1 SurfNet will assign human and financial resources to develop the
               Technology.


                                        4
<PAGE>
          4.1.2  SurfNet  will  monitor the reliability and accessibility of the
               Technology, and ensure that it continues to perform in accordance
               with  the Specifications, excluding any modifications and changes
               made  by  YP  without  the  knowledge  or  consent  of  SurfNet.

          4.1.3  From  time  to  time,  YP may request that SurfNet undertake to
               develop  certain  enhancements  to  the  Technology.  Upon  such
               request, SurfNet shall confer in good faith with YP regarding the
               feasibility  of  developing  such enhancements and the time frame
               for  developing,  testing  and  incorporating  such enhancements.
               Then,  SurfNet  and YP shall mutually agree as to whether SurfNet
               should pursue development of such enhancements, and, if so, which
               of  SurfNet  and/or  YP  will  fund such development. Upon mutual
               written  agreement, the Specifications shall be deemed amended to
               include  such  enhancements.

     4.2  Acceptance.  The  terms  and conditions contained in this Section will
          apply  to  the  initial  release of the Technology, as well as to each
          subsequent  release,  upgrade,  enhancement  and  version  thereof.

          4.2.1  SurfNet  agrees  to  thoroughly  test the Technology (including
               without  limitation  each  and  every  release,  version,  and
               enhancement  thereof), as appropriate under the circumstances, at
               all  appropriate  stages  of  development, and shall document its
               testing  by  written  test  documents  delivered to YP. Such test
               documents  shall  include  a detailed description of the tests as
               conducted,  and  test  results  (including,  without  limitation,
               resulting  bug list and outstanding issues list). Notwithstanding
               anything  contained  in  this  Agreement to the contrary, SurfNet
               will  not  deploy the Technology, and/or any enhancement thereof,
               unless  and  until  YP  authorizes  such  deployment  in writing.

          4.2.2  If  either Party is aware or becomes aware of a delay that will
               prevent  SurfNet  from  meeting  a  scheduled  milestone  for any
               component  of  the Technology under the Schedule, such Party will
               promptly  inform  the  other  Party of such delay, and the reason
               therefore,  in  writing.  If  such  delay  is  caused  by YP, the
               Schedule  will  automatically  be  deemed extended, if and to the
               extent  minimally  necessitated  by  the  original delay. If such
               delay  is  caused  by SurfNet, SurfNet will be given a reasonable
               period  (up  to  thirty  (30)  business  days,  depending  on the
               circumstances) to cure. However, SurfNet acknowledges that timely
               meeting  the  Schedule  is  of  critical  importance  under  this
               Agreement,  and  that  time is of the essence in curing a delayed
               delivery.

          4.2.3  YP  shall evaluate the beta and final version of the Technology
               and  shall  submit  a  written acceptance or rejection to SurfNet
               within  ten (10) business days after YP Net's receipt of the beta
               versions  and  fifteen  (15)  business  days after receipt of the
               final  version  of  the  Technology.  If  YP


                                        5
<PAGE>
               identifies  Errors  in  the  Technology prior to acceptance, then
               SurfNet  shall correct, at its sole expense, such Errors, and use
               its  best  efforts  to effect such correction within fifteen (15)
               business  days. If no written acceptance or rejection is received
               by  SurfNet,  acceptance  shall  he  deemed  to  have  occurred.

          4.2.4  If  SurfNet  fails  to  deliver the Technology within the dates
               specified  in  the  Schedule (after application of the applicable
               reasonable  cure  period) and if any Errors discovered during the
               acceptance  process cannot be eliminated in the correction period
               specified  in  the  Specifications  or  Exhibit  B  (whichever is
               applicable) then YP may, at its option: (i) extend the correction
               period;  or  (ii)  suspend  its  performance until the problem is
               corrected  to YP's reasonable satisfaction and/or, if the failure
               to  deliver  or  uncorrected  Error  is  material, terminate this
               Agreement  for  cause  pursuant  to  Section  8.

          4.2.5  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  herein  to  the contrary,
               SurfNet  shall at all times hereunder be responsible for ensuring
               that the Technology meets all Specifications, and if any Error in
               the  originally  submitted  Technology  is  discovered  after
               acceptance,  SurfNet shall remain obligated to correct such Error
               in  accordance with the applicable timetable determined by YP and
               SurfNet  as  set  forth in the Specifications or Exhibit B, or as
               otherwise  may  be  mutually  agreed  under  the  circumstances.

          satisfaction,  without  cost  to  YP.

     6.4  SurfNet  warrants  that  YP shall suffer no interruption of its normal
          business activities or cycles as a result of any claimed infringement,

          contemplated  in  Sections  5.2  or  5.3  hereof.

          following  the  Technology  Acceptance  Date:

     7.3  During  the one year following the Technology Acceptance Date, SurfNet
          will  immediately and in no event later than thirty (30) business days

          of  any  errors,  omissions,  deficiencies  or  inconsistencies in the
          Technology, except for any changes made by YP. YP shall assist SurfNet
          in  identifying  these  circumstances on which such errors, omissions,
          deficiencies  or  inconsistencies are discovered, and, if requested by
          SurfNet,  shall  document  their  existence.

     7.4  EXCEPT  AS  SPECIFICALLY  PROVIDED  IN  THIS  AGREEMENT,  THERE ARE NO

          the circumstances, all of which are expressly reserved, YP may suspend

          notice  at  any  time  if:

               pursuant  to  this  Agreement;  or

          8.1.2  In  the  case  of  a  failure  to  provide  the  technology  or

          8.2.1  YP  is  in  material breach of Section 3 of this Agreement, and
               fails  to cure that breach within thirty (30) business days after

          8.2.2  YP becomes insolvent or makes any assignment for the benefit of

     9.1  Nondisclosure.

          9.1.1  SurfNet  shall maintain in confidence and shall not disclose to
               any third Party the Confidential Information received pursuant to
               this  Agreement,  without  the  prior  written consent of YP. The
               foregoing  obligation shall not apply to: (i) information that is
               known  to  SurfNet or independently developed by SurfNet prior to
               the  time of disclosure; (ii) information disclosed to SurfNet by
               a  third  party  that  has a right to make such disclosure; (iii)
               information that becomes patented, published or otherwise part of
               the  public domain as a result of acts by YP or by a third person
               who  has  the  right to make such disclosure; or (iv) information
               that  is  required  to  be disclosed by order of any governmental
               authority  or  a  court  of competent jurisdiction; provided that
               SurfNet  shall  notify  YP  if  it  believes  such  disclosure is
               required  and  shall  use its best efforts to obtain confidential
               treatment  of  such  information  by  the  agency  or  court.

          9.1.2  YP  shall  maintain in confidence and shall not disclose to any
               third  Party  the  Confidential  Information received pursuant to
               this Agreement, without the prior written consent of SurfNet. The
               foregoing  obligation shall not apply to: (i) information that is
               known to YP or independently developed by YP prior to the time of
               disclosure;  (ii)  information  disclosed  to YP by a third party
               that  has a right to make such disclosure; (iii) information that
               becomes  patented,  published  or  otherwise  part  of the public
               domain  as  a  result of acts by SurfNet or by a third person who
               has  the  right to make such disclosure; or (iv) information that
               is  required  to  be  disclosed  by  order  of  any  governmental
               authority  or a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that YP
               shall  notify  SurfNet if it believes such disclosure is required
               and  shall  use its best efforts to obtain confidential treatment
               of  such  information  by  the  agency  or  court.

          9.1.3  The  receiving  Party's  obligations  of  confidentiality  with
               respect to Confidential Information that constitute trade secrets
               under  the  Uniform  Trade Secrets Act as adopted in the State of
               Georgia  (or  other similar applicable law) shall run for as long
               as such information remains a trade secret. The receiving Party's
               obligations  of  confidentiality  with  respect  to  Confidential
               Information  that  is not covered under the Uniform Trade Secrets
               Act  as  adopted  in  the  State  of  Arizona  (or  other similar
               applicable  law),  shall run for three (3) years from the date of
               termination  of  this  Agreement.

     9.2  Use  of  Confidential  Information.


                                       10
<PAGE>
          9.2.1  SurfNet  shall  ensure  that  all  of its employees, agents and
               contractors  having  access to the Confidential Information of YP
               are  obligated  in  writing  to  abide  by  SurfNet's obligations
               hereunder.  SurfNet  shall  use the Confidential Information only
               for  the  purposes  contemplated  under  this  Agreement.

          9.2.2  YP  shall  ensure  that  all  of  its  employees,  agents  and
               contractors  having  access  to  the  Confidential Information of
               SurfNet are obligated in writing to abide by YP Net's obligations
               hereunder. YP shall use the Confidential Information only for the
               purposes  contemplated  under  this  Agreement.

     9.3  Disparagement.  Without  having  first  sought  and  obtained YP Net's
          written  approval  (which  YP  may  withhold  in its sole and absolute
          discretion), SurfNet shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) trade upon
          this  transaction  or any aspect of SurfNet's relationship with YP, or
          (ii)  otherwise  deprecate  YP  technology.

     9.4  Press  Release. Neither Party will issue any press release or make any
          public  announcement(s)  relating  in  any  way  whatsoever  to  this
          Agreement  or  the  relationship established by this Agreement without
          the  express  prior  written  consent of the other Party. However, the
          Parties  acknowledge  that this Agreement, or portions thereof, may be
          required  under  applicable  law  to  be  disclosed,  as part of or an
          exhibit  to  a Party's required public disclosure documents. If either
          Party  is  advised  by  its  legal  counsel  that  such  disclosure is
          required,  it  will  notify  the other in writing and the Parties will
          jointly  seek  confidential treatment of this Agreement to the maximum
          extent  reasonably possible, in documents approved by both Parties and
          filed  with  the  applicable  governmental  or regulatory authorities.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, YP and SurfNet will cooperate to create
          a mutually approved joint press release regarding the non-confidential
          aspects of this Agreement, which press release shall be issued by each
          Party  on  the Launch Date; provided, however, that the precise timing
          of  such  press release shall be subject to the approval of YP (in its
          sole  and  absolute  discretion).

     9.5  Injunctive Relief. Because damages at law will be an inadequate remedy
          for  breach of any of the covenants, promises and agreements contained
          in  this  Article  9  hereof, the aggrieved Party shall be entitled to
          injunctive  relief  in  any  state or federal court located within the
          City  of  Phoenix, Arizona, including specific performance or an order
          enjoining  the breaching Party from any threatened or actual breach of
          such  covenants,  promises or agreements. The rights set forth in this
          Section  shall  be in addition to any other rights which the aggrieved
          Party  may  have  at  law  or  in  equity.

     10.  Miscellaneous


                                       11
<PAGE>
     10.1 Neither  Party  shall  represent  itself  as  the  agent  nor  legal
          representative  of  the  other for any purpose whatsoever, and neither
          Party  shall  have  the  right  to  create or assume for the other any
          obligation  of  any kind. This Agreement shall not create or be deemed
          to  create  an agency, partnership, franchise, employment relationship
          or  joint  venture  between  the  Parties.  Each Party's employees who
          perform  services  related  to  this  Agreement shall remain under the
          exclusive direction and control of their respective employer and shall
          receive  such  salaries, compensation and benefits as their respective
          employer  may from time to time determines. Each Party shall have full
          and  sole  responsibility  for  its  employees who perform any service
          related  to  this  Agreement  with  regard  to  compliance  with  all
          applicable  laws,  rules and regulations governing such Party relating
          to  employment,  labor,  wages,  benefits,  taxes  and  other  matters
          affecting  its  employees,

     10.2 Any  notice  required  or  permitted  to be given under this Agreement
          shall  be  made  in  writing and shall be deemed to have been given or
          made if it is in writing and is: (i) delivered in person, (ii) sent by
          same day or overnight courier, (iii) mailed by certified or registered
          mail,  return  receipt  requested,  postage  prepaid, addressed to the
          Party  at its address set forth below or at such other address as such
          Party may subsequently furnish to the other Party by notice hereunder,
          or  (iv)  delivered  by  facsimile,  the transmittal of which shall be
          confirmed  by a telephone call to the other Party and by dispatch of a
          confirming  copy  of  the transmittal by registered or certified mail,
          postage  prepaid.  Notices  will  be  deemed  effective on the date of
          delivery  in the case of personal delivery, or three (3) business days
          after  mailing, or on the date of dispatch in the case of notification
          by  facsimile  (assuming  confirmation  of transmission). The Parties'
          addresses  for  purposes  of  notice  shall  be  as  set  forth above.

     10.3 This  Agreement  shall  be  construed,  enforced, performed and in all
          respects  governed  by and in accordance with the laws in the State of
          Arizona.  In  any  action or suit to enforce any right or remedy under
          this  Agreement  the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its
          reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and  costs.

     10.4 In the event any provision of this Agreement is rendered null, void or
          otherwise  ineffective  in  any  given  country  or  any  political
          subdivision  in  a  given  country,  then  (i)  the  Parties  agree to
          negotiate  in  good  faith  an  acceptable alternative provision which
          reflects  as  closely  as  possible  the  intent  of the unenforceable
          provision  and  which shall apply only with respect to that portion of
          the  Territory  in which the original provision is rendered null, void
          or  otherwise  ineffective and (ii) notwithstanding, and regardless of
          whether  the Parties reach agreement after the good faith negotiations
          described  in clause (i) immediately above, the validity, legality and
          enforceability  of  the  remaining  provisions  of this Agreement with
          respect to such portion of the Territory (and of all of the provisions
          of  this Agreement with respect to the balance of the Territory) shall
          not  in  any  way  be


                                       12
<PAGE>
          affected  or  impaired  thereby  and  shall  remain  in full force and
          effect.  Section  and  all other headings used herein are provided for
          convenience  only  and  are  not  to  be  given  any  legal  effect or
          considered  in  interpreting  any  provision  of  this  Agreement.  No
          provision  of  this  Agreement  shall be interpreted against any Party
          because such Party or its legal representative drafted such provision.

     10.5 Neither  Party  may  transfer, assign or sublicense this Agreement, or
          any  rights  or  obligations  hereunder,  whether  by  contract  or by
          operation of law, except with the express written consent of the other
          Party, and any attempted transfer, assignment or sublicense by a Party
          in  violation  of  this  Section  shall  be void. For purposes of this
          Agreement,  an  "transfer"  under  this  Section  shall  be  deemed to
          include,  without limitation, the following: (a) a merger or any other
          combination of an entity with another party, whether or not the entity
          is the surviving entity; (b) any transaction or series of transactions
          whereby a third party acquires direct or indirect power to control the
          management  and policies of an entity, whether through the acquisition
          of  voting  securities, by contract, or otherwise; (c) the transfer of
          any  rights  or  obligations  in  the course of a liquidation or other
          similar  reorganization  of  an  entity;  or  (d)  the  transfer  to a
          subsidiary.  Neither  Party  will  unreasonably  withhold or delay its
          consent  to a requested transfer, assignment or sublicense. Subject to
          the  provisions  of this Section, this Agreement shall be binding upon
          and inure to the benefit of each Party and their respective successors
          and  assigns.

     10.6 All  rights  and  obligations of the Parties hereunder arc personal to
          them.  Except  as otherwise specifically stated herein, this Agreement
          is  not  intended  to benefit, nor shall it be deemed to give rise to,
          any  rights  in  any  third  party.

     10.7 Each  Party  shall  be  responsible for compliance with all applicable
          laws, rules and regulations, if any, related to the performance or its
          obligations  under  this  Agreement.

     10.8 No  waiver  of  any  breach  of  any provision of this Agreement shall
          constitute  a  waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of
          the  same  or  any  other  provisions hereof or thereof, and no waiver
          shall  be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized
          representative  of  the  waiving  Party.

     10.9 Neither  Party  shall  be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or
          delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder during any event
          of  force  majeure.

     10.10  This  Agreement  contains  the  entire agreement of the Parties with
          respect  to the premises, and may not be modified or amended except by
          a  written  instrument  executed  by the Party sought to be charged or
          bound  thereby.

     10.11  The  Parties acknowledge that there may be instances during the Term
          when,  notwithstanding  the  Non-Disclosure  Agreement  referred to in
          Section 10.1 above, either party will not wish to disclose or have the
          other  party  become  aware


                                       13
<PAGE>
          (through  inspection  or  otherwise)  of  certain  confidential  and
          proprietary  information  of  the other party relating to its business
          and/or  technology.  In  those  instances,  the  Parties agree to work
          together  in a spirit of cooperation to work around such disclosure so
          that  each  party is able to perform the Services under this agreement
          to  the  other party's reasonable satisfaction and otherwise discharge
          their obligations under this Agreement without making such disclosure.

11.  Source  Code  Escrow.  SurfNet  agrees  to  deposit  a  full  and  complete
     electronic  copy  of the source code to the Technology, and all updates and
     enhancements  thereto (the "Source Materials"), into escrow with a mutually
     agreed upon escrow services company. The parties will enter into a mutually
     agreeable  escrow  agreement.  YP  shall  pay  all fees for such escrow and
     SurfNet  shall  bear  its  own  costs in preparing the Source Materials for
     deposit.  The escrow agreement shall provide for the release of such Source
     Materials  in  the event SurfNet ceases to do business in the normal course
     (except  in  the  cases  of  corporate  restructuring,  acquisition  or
     reorganization  under  Chapter  11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code). Subject to
     the  terms  and  conditions of this Agreement, upon release from escrow, YP
     shall  have  a nonexclusive, license to use and modify the Source Materials
     and  distribute  the  same.  Title  in all Source Materials shall remain in
     SurfNet,  and  YP  will  take  all  reasonable  precautions to maintain the
     secrecy of the Source Materials unless Surfnet becomes insolvent as defined
     herein.

Executed as of the date set forth above.
