This Carrier Service Agreement is entered into on April 3, 2001,  between Fusion
Telecommunications  International,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  ("Provider"),
having its principal place of business at 420 Lexington  Avenue,  Suite 518, New
York,  NY 10170 and Telco  Group Inc.  ("Purchaser"),  a  Delaware  corporation,
having its principal office at 30-50 Whitestone Expressway, 1st floor, Flushing,
New York 11354.

                                    RECITALS:

  A.     Provider provides  telecommunications services between its location and
         the outbound termination points identified on Exhibit A attached hereto
         and incorporated herein by this reference and

  B.     Purchaser desires to purchase,  upon the terms and conditions set forth
         in this Agreement, telecommunications services from Provider.

                                   AGREEMENT:

              Now,  therefore,  intending to be legally bound, the parties agree
as follows:

1.       RATES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS:  Provider shall provide telecommunications
         services to Purchaser at the rates,  terms and conditions  described in
         Exhibit  A, and to the  termination  points  set  forth in  Exhibit  A.
         Purchaser acknowledges that the per minute rates set forth on Exhibit A
         are  preferential  rates  based on prompt  payment on or before the Due
         Date.  The  services to be  provided  are limited to those set forth in
         Exhibit A and require from  Purchaser a monthly  minimum  usage per T-1
         and/or E-1 as set forth in said  Exhibit.  Rates listed in Exhibit A or
         any  subsequent  rate sheet are subject to change by Provider with five
         (5) days written notice to Purchaser.

2.       PERIOD OF  SERVICE:  This  Agreement  shall  become  effective  and the
         parties'  obligations shall commence upon the date set forth in Exhibit
         A of this Agreement and shall continue  (subject to Provider's right to
         terminate this  Agreement  sooner) for a period of one year (12 months)
         from  such  date  (the  Initial   Term").   This   Agreement   will  be
         automatically renewed on a month-to month basis after the expiration of
         the initial term or any  subsequent  term.  If either party  desires to
         cancel this  Agreement  upon the  expiration of the current term or any
         subsequent  term, it shall give the other party  written  notice of its
         intent to cancel at least twenty (20) days prior to the  expiration  of
         the current  term.  This  Agreement  shall  continue and remain in full
         force and effect until canceled by either party upon notice as provided
         herein.

3.       SECURITY:  Purchaser shall submit financial documentation for review to
         Provider's credit department.  To ensure the prompt payment of sums due
         hereunder,  Purchaser  shall  furnish to Provider upon the execution of
         this Agreement,  a prepayment or security  deposit in the form of cash,
         irrevocable and unconditional  letter of credit, or such other security
         in form and amount acceptable to Provider.  Upon request by Provider at
         any time,  Purchaser  agrees to provide  financial  statements or other
         indications of its financial circumstances.  In addition, after service
         commencement,  Provider, at its option, may request additional security
         if: (a) Purchaser's payment history,  financial circumstances or credit
         exposure becomes unacceptable, (b) if Purchaser's account balance, plus
         unbilled usage exceeds the amount of any security  deposit or assurance
         requirement or (c) in light of  Purchaser's  actual usage when compared
         to projected  usage  levels upon which any prior  security or assurance
         requirement was based. Purchaser shall provide the requested additional
         security within two (2)  days/forty-eight  (48) hours: after request by
         Provider.  In the event that  Purchaser  fails to provide the requested
         security  in  accordance  with this  provision,  Provider  may  suspend
         service and/or terminate this Agreement without further notice.

4.       ADDITIONAL SECURITY  PROVISIONS:  The dollar value of service available
         to Purchaser shall be limited to the dollar amount of the prepayment or
         security  deposit  available  to  Provider.  The amount of any required
         prepayment,  cash security deposit,  or letter of credit is outlined in
         Exhibit A. Any letter of credit shall be substantially  similar in form
         to  Exhibit  A  to  this  Agreement  and  shall  be  from  a  financial
         institution reasonable acceptable to Provider.

5.       BILLING  INCREMENTS:  All  traffic  shall be billed  with an initial 30
         second minimum  increment,  followed by 6 second additional  increments
         (i.e.  a minimum  call  length 30  seconds  with all  additional  usage
         rounded up to the nearest 6 second  increment).  The sole  exception to
         this billing  arrangement shall be traffic  terminating in Mexico which
         shall be billed in full minute  increments  (i.e. a minimum call length
         60  seconds  with  additional  usage  rounded  up to the  nearest  full
         minute).

6.       BILLING PERIOD/PAYMENT SCHEDULE: The billing period shall be seven days
         long, commencing at 12:00:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Monday and
         continuing  through  11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, the following
         Sunday.  Provider  shall send bill to  Purchaser  for service  provided
         during the preceding  billing period (i.e.  the prior seven days),  via
         e-mail or facsimile,  by close of business each Monday.  Payment of the
         amount shown on the bill is due from  Purchaser  by 5:00 p.m.,  Eastern
         Standard Time, the following  Thursday (i.e.  three working days later)
         (the "Due Date").  All payments are to be made by wire transfer per the
         banking  information  detailed in Exhibit B. The  charges for  services
         that  are not  paid by the Due  Date  shall be  deemed  past  due.  The
         uncollectability,  fraud or any other problem that may affect Purchaser
         in the assessment, appraisal, accounting, billing or collecting of debt
         will never  exempt  Purchaser  from the  obligation  of full payment to
         Provider.  Any payment received by Provider after the Due Date shall be
         subject to an interest charge on delinquent  amounts from the date such
         amounts  were due at the rate of one and a half  percent  (1.5%) of the
         late  payment  per month (or,  if  unlawful,  the  maximum  lawful rate
         allowable under applicable law).

7.       TAXES:  Purchaser  acknowledges and understands that all charges stated
         in the  Exhibits  hereto are  computed  by  Provider  exclusive  of any
         applicable  use,  excise,  gross receipts,  sales and privilege  taxes,
         duties, fees or other taxes or similar  liabilities,  including but not
         limited to universal service or pursuant to similar regulatory, federal
         or state  laws,  whether  charged to or against  Purchaser  or Provider
         because  of the  services  furnished  to  Purchaser  pursuant  to  this
         Agreement  ("Additional  Charges").  Purchaser  also  acknowledges  and
         understands  that such Additional  Charges will be invoiced by Provider
         only if  Purchaser  has not  provided  Provider  with a direct  payment
         permit,  sale for resale  exemption  certificate,  sales tax  exemption
         certificate  or  other   applicable   exemption   certificate  and  any
         non-exempt  Additional Charges shall be paid by Purchaser,  in addition
         to all other charges provided for herein.

8.       BILLING DISPUTES:  If Purchaser,  in good faith, disputes the amount or
         appropriateness  of a charge  included in an invoice,  it shall  notify
         Provider in writing and provide supporting  documentation  establishing
         such  claim.  Such  documentation  supporting  disputed  charges  shall
         include a detailed analysis showing the difference between the specific
         invoice amount and Purchaser's  specific  asserted amount. A summary of
         the  disputed  charges will not be accepted.  Purchaser  shall  further
         provide all information reasonably requested by Provider including, but
         not limited to, call detail  records  (CDRs),  to resolve the  dispute.
         Such notification shall not relieve Purchaser of the obligation to make
         all  undisputed  payments,  by the Due  Date.  Any  resolution  made by
         Provider in favor of Purchaser  shall be credited to  Purchaser's  next
         invoice.  Failure to contest a charge  within thirty (30) calendar days
         from receipt of an invoice shall create an  irrefutable  presumption of
         the correctness of the charge.

                                   Page 2 of 9

         Upon  dispute,  the parties  agree to use their best efforts to resolve
         the  dispute  in  good  faith  within  thirty  (30)  calendar  days  of
         Purchaser's  receipt  of  invoice.  In the event that the  parties  are
         unable to resolve the dispute  within this thirty (30) day period,  the
         dispute shall be submitted to arbitration as otherwise  provided for in
         this Agreement.

9.       DISPUTE  RESOLUTION:  In the event of any  controversy or claim arising
         from or related to this Agreement,  its performance or  interpretation,
         the  parties,  in good  faith,  initially  will  attempt to resolve the
         dispute among themselves.  Failing such resolution, the dispute will be
         settled  by  binding  arbitration  conducted  in  accordance  with  the
         commercial  Arbitration Rules of the American  Arbitration  Association
         ("AAA Rules"), as amended by this Agreement and judgment upon the award
         rendered  by  the  arbitrator(s)  may be  entered  by  any  court  with
         jurisdiction.  The location of the  arbitration  shall be New York, New
         York. The cost of the  arbitration,  including the fees and expenses of
         the  arbitrator(s),  shall be shared  equally by the parties unless the
         arbitration award provides otherwise. Each party shall bear the cost of
         preparing and presenting its case. The  arbitrator(s) are not empowered
         to award  damages  in excess of  compensatory  damages  and each  party
         irrevocably waives any damages in excess of compensatory damages.

10.      RIGHT TO  COLLECT  AGAINST  FUNDS ON  DEPOSIT:  IF FULL  PAYMENT IS NOT
         RECEIVED BY PROVIDER WHEN DUE,  PROVIDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT,  WITH 48
         HOUR NOTICE, TO MAKE PAYMENT OUT OF FUNDS ON DEPOSIT.  FOR THE PURPOSES
         OF THIS  AGREEMENT,  PAYMENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE MADE UNTIL FUNDS
         HAVE CLEARED INTO PROVIDER'S ACCOUNT.

         via TDM connection  from Provider  hereunder,  Purchaser must establish
         dedicated  DS-1 circuits  between  Purchaser's  designated  network and
         Provider's  designated  network  meet  point  ("POP") as  specified  in
         Exhibit A. Purchaser shall pay any installation  charges and continuing

         or superseding any material term or provision of this Agreement or rate
         charged (collectively  "Regulatory  Requirement"),  then this Agreement
         shall be deemed modified in such a way as the parties mutually agree is
         consistent  with the form,  intent and purpose of this Agreement and as
         is necessary  to comply with such  Regulatory  Requirement.  Should the
         parties not be able to agree on modifications  necessary to comply with
         a Regulatory  Requirement  within thirty (30) days after the Regulatory
         Requirement is implemented or enforced, then upon written notice either
         party may, to the extent  practicable,  terminate  that portion of this
         Agreement impacted by the Regulatory Requirement enforcement.

         part or in whole.

12.3     CORPORATE DISSOLUTION: Either party may terminate this Agreement in the
         event the other  party makes an  arrangement  or  composition  with its
         creditors  generally  or makes an  application  to a court of competent
         jurisdiction   for  protection  from  its  creditors   generally  or  a
         bankruptcy  order is made  against the other party or a  resolution  is

         encumbrance takes possession of or sells) any of its assets.

12.4     BREACH OF AGREEMENT  In the event of a breach of any  material  term or
         condition of this Agreement by a party (other than failure to pay which
         is covered  under  Section 12.2 above or failure to provide  additional
         security  which is covered under Section 3 above),  the other party may
         terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written  notice,  unless
         the breaching party cures the breach during the thirty (30) day period.

              all applicable  notice and cure periods,  Provider may at its sole
              option do any or all of the following:

                    (ii)   cease  all   electronically  and  manually  generated
                           information and reports;

                           as may be appropriate.

12.5     NETWORK  PROTECTION:  In the event Purchaser's  service traffic volumes
         (or traffic  distribution  patterns to individual cities and countries)
         results in a lower than industry  standard  completion  rate,  severely
         abnormal or disproportionate  distribution of traffic by city, or other
         similar  abnormality  which  adversely  affects  the  Provider  network
         (including,  but not limited to looping  situations  where  Purchaser's
         traffic is delivered by Provider to another carrier for termination and
         ultimately returned to Provider),  Provider reserves the right to block
         and refuse to accept  such  adverse  traffic at any time,  with  prompt
         notice as soon as possible thereafter.

         PROVIDED   HEREUNDER   AND   EXPRESSLY   DISCLAIMS   ANY   WARRANTY  OF
         MERCHANTIBILITY,  DESCRIPTION OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR  PURPOSE OR

         the services  hereunder  at the prices  stated,  Purchaser  agrees that
         Provider  shall in no event be liable to Purchaser or  Purchaser's  own
         customers  for any loss,  expense  or damage  for (i) loss of  revenue,
         profits, savings,  business or goodwill,and (ii) exemplary,  proximate,
         consequential, or incidental damages and expenses of any type or nature
         on account of any breach or default hereunder by Provider or on account
         of the use or nonuse or the services.

         stockholders,  officers,  directors,  employees and agents from any and
         all  loss,  cost  damage,  expense  or  liability,   including  without
         limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of,
         in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the installation, hook-up,
         maintenance,  service or trouble-shooting of the transmission  services
         described in this Agreement  including any interruption of transmission
         service to Purchaser, its employees,  agents and customers, except when
         caused by the  gross  negligence  by the  Provider  or the  intentional
         violations  of  any  applicable  law  or  governmental   regulation  by
         Provider.

15.      PROVISION OF INFORMATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY:

15.2     Subject to sub-Section 15.3, each party undertakes to the other that it
         will treat as  confidential,  and will use its reasonable  endeavors to
         procure that its directors, employees, professional advisers and agents
         will treat as confidential,  the terms and conditions of this Agreement
         as well as all data,  summaries,  rates,  reports or information of all

         affairs of the other party which it may receive in connection with this
         Agreement,  and will not (and  will  use its  reasonable  endeavors  to
         procure that its directors, employees, professional advisers and agents
         will not) disclose or use such information  other than strictly for the
         purposes of this  Agreement  except with the written  permission of the
         other party.

         by a party  which

         15.3.1   is in or comes into the public  domain other than by breach of

                  to disclose it;

         15.3.3   is or has been independently  generated by that party (but not
                  including data generated by that party about calls handed over
                  by the other party); or

         15.3.4   is in the possession of or is known to that party prior to the
                  date of this Agreement,  to the extent that party is not bound
                  by  any   confidentiality   obligation   in  respect  of  such
                  information to the other party.

15.4     The following disclosures by either party shall not constitute a breach
         of sub-Section 15.2:

         15.4.1   a disclosure of  information  necessary to comply with any law
                  or the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or the
                  rule,  regulation  or  request  of any  governmental  or other
                  regulatory   authority  or  agency  provided  that  the  party
                  disclosing   the   information   shall  request   confidential
                  treatment of such  information  by the third party to which it
                  is disclosed;

          15.4.2  a disclosure of information to a party's auditors and/or other
                  professional  advisors or as part of its normal  reporting  or
                  review procedure to its parent company, members or partners as
                  the  case  may be,  provided  that the  party  disclosing  the
                  information  will  endeavor  to  procure  that  its  auditors,
                  professional  advisors,  parent  company  members and partners
                  will also treat such information as confidential;

         15.4.3   a  disclosure  of  information  made in order to  enforce  its

                  or financial advisor where such disclosure is required as part
                  of an  arrangement  for the financing or  refinancing  of such
                  party;

         provided,  however,  that before making any disclosure pursuant to this
         sub-Section  15.4, the recipient  party agrees that it will provide the
         disclosing  party with  prompt  written  notice so that the  disclosing
         party has the  opportunity  to pursue its legal and equitable  remedies
         regarding potential disclosure.

         15.5     On  termination  of this  Agreement for whatever  reason,  the
                  recipient  party shall return to the disclosing  party (or, at
                  the discretion of the disclosing party, destroy) all copies of
                  confidential  information  of the other  party which it has in
                  its  possession.  The  provisions  of this  Section  16  shall
                  survive the  termination  or expiry of this  Agreement for any

                          COLOCATION LICENSE AGREEMENT


This Colocation  License Agreement  ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of
this 28 day of Jan.,  2002  between,  Fusion  Telecommunications  International,
Inc., a Delaware  corporation with its principal office located at 420 Lexington
Avenue,  Suite 518,  New York,  NY 10170  ("Fusion")  and Telco  Group  Inc.,  a
Delaware  corporation  with its  principal  office  located at 30-50  Whitestone
Expressway, Suite 101, Flushing, NY 11354 ("Telco Group" or "Licensee").


A. Fusion is engaged in the business of providing  customers with networking and
telecommunications services through its telecommunications facilities, including
the  facility  located  at 75  Broad  Street,  19th  Floor,  New  York,  NY (the
"Facility").

B.  Fusion  has the  right  to  permit  other  telecommunications  companies  to
collocate with it at the Facility, as long as other collocations do not infringe
upon the space occupied by Licensee.

C. Telco Group desires to enter into an agreement with Fusion for the use of the
Facility for the purpose of installing  equipment and operating its network, and
Fusion desires to grant to Licensee the right to use the Facility upon the terms
and conditions set forth below.

NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration of the following mutual exchange of promises
and covenants, the parties agree as follows:

1.  GRANT OF LICENSE:

     (a) Subject to the terms and  conditions  contained  herein,  Fusion hereby
grants to Telco Group an  exclusive  license to install,  operate,  and maintain
certain  communications  equipment of Licensee in the Facility.  Licensee  shall
have use of the  equipment  space  described in Exhibit A  ("Equipment  Space").
Telco Group shall also be afforded  the use of other  ancillary  services of the
Facility, including, but not limited to, battery backup or uninterruptible power
supply, electricity and air conditioning.

    (b) Fusion hereby reserves all rights not specifically  granted to Licensee,
including,  without  limitation,  the  right  to:  (1)  access to and use of the
Facility for its own use and for the use of its agents and licensees;  (2) grant
additional  licenses to other uses;  and (3)  exercise or grant other rights not
inconsistent with the rights granted hereunder.

    (c) This License is expressly made subject and  subordinate to the terms and
conditions of any underlying  ground or facilities lease or other superior right
by which Fusion has acquired its interest in the  Facility.  Licensee  agrees to
comply with any terms and conditions of such superior  right.  If the consent of
the holder of such superior  right is required in order for the parties to enter
into the  License,  then this  License  shall not  become  effective  until such
consent is obtained.  If any action or consent is required of Licensee under the
terms of such superior right, Fusion agrees to provide to Licensee,  within (30)
days following  receipt of Licensee's  written request,  copies of any documents
evidencing any such superior rights.

2.  TERM:

(a) Telco Group's license to occupy the space described in Exhibit A shall begin
on February 7, 2002, or the date of the completion of the  infrastructure  build
out of the space  ("Commencement  Date").  The "Minimum  Term" of the Customer's
license  to  occupy  the  Equipment  Space  shall  be two  (2)  years  from  the
commencement date.

(b) If Fusion fails for any reason to tender  possession of the Equipment  Space
to Telco  Group  Inc.  within  ninety  (90) days of the date of this  Agreement,
Licensee may, upon written  notice to Fusion,  declare this  Agreement  null and
void.  If  Licensee  declares  this  Agreement  null and  void,  it shall not be
obligated to pay any fees hereunder and Fusion shall refund all fees and charges
paid in advance by licensee.

(c)  Provided  that  Licensee is not in default of this  Agreement  with Fusion,
Licensee shall have the option, upon thirty (30)

                                     Page 1

<PAGE>

                          COLOCATION LICENSE AGREEMENT


days  prior  written  notice to  Fusion,  to renew  its  license  to occupy  the
Equipment Space for an additional  period of one (1) year ("Renewal  Period") on
the terms and conditions which are set forth in this Agreement. The Minimum Term
and any and all Renewal Periods may be collectively referred to as the "Term."

 (d) Any option Granted to Licensee to renew its license to occupy the Equipment
Space  shall be  contingent  upon the  election  by Fusion to continue to own or
lease the Premises in which the  Equipment  Space is located for the duration of
the Renewal Period(s), with such election to be exercised at the sole discretion
of Fusion.

3.  LICENSE FEES AND OTHER CHARGES:

(a) As a license fee for use of the Equipment  Space and the Facility during the
term of the License,  Licensee shall pay to Fusion a monthly recurring charge of
$8,150.00  (Eight  Thousand One Hundred Fifty  dollars) for year 1 and $8,254.17
(Eight Thousand Two Hundred  Fifty-four dollars and Seventeen cents) for year 2.
The monthly  recurring  charge  shall be due and payable in advance on the first
day of each calendar month during the term,  commencing with the installation of
the equipment in the Equipment Space, or the Commencement Date, whichever occurs
earlier.  If the term commences or ends on a day other than the first day of the
calendar  month,  then the monthly  recurring  charge for the month in which the
term  commences  or ends shall be  prorated  (and paid at the  beginning  of the
month) in  proportion  that the number of days this License is in effect  during
such  month  bears to the total  number  of days in the  month.  If the  monthly
recurring  charge is not paid when due,  the  amount  due and  payable  shall be
subject to a late payment charge equal to two percent (2%) of such amount.

(b) In addition,  Licensee shall pay to Fusion,  within ten (10) days of receipt
of an invoice from Fusion,  all pre-approved  costs incurred by Fusion in making
modifications  or  improvements  to the  Facility  or the  Equipment  Space  for
Licensee,  or for fire suppression,  energy sources or other utilities,  and the
costs of any work or service performed for, or facilities furnished to, Licensee
to a  greater  extent  or in a manner  more  favorable  to  Licensee  than  that
performed for or furnished to others within the Facility. A preliminary estimate
of these  types of costs  which  Fusion  will  initially  incur,  and for  which
Licensee shall reimburse Fusion within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice
from Fusion,  is set forth on the attached  Exhibit B. If any such costs are not
paid when due,  the amount due and payable  shall be subject to a later  payment
charge equal to two percent (2%) of such amount.

4. USE OF THE FACILITY:  Licensee shall use the Facility and the Equipment Space
solely  for  the  purpose  of   installing,   maintaining   and   utilizing  the
communications  equipment and other personal  property of Licensee  installed in
the Facility pursuant to the terms of this License for interconnection  with the
facilities  of Fusion and the local  exchange  carriers and  competitive  access
providers  that are present in the  facility,  or brought  into the  Facility by
licensee,  and for no other purpose.  Licensee shall not use the Facility of the
Equipment Space except in accordance with the terms of this License.

In its use of the Facility and the Equipment Space, Licensee shall not interfere
with,  or connect its  equipment to that of, any customer of Fusion or any other
tenant or licensee within the Facility.

Except as otherwise provided herein,  Licensee's equipment shall remain the sole
property of Licensee,  and Fusion's  equipment shall remain the sole property of
Fusion.  Licensee expressly disclaims any right, title, or interest in or to any
of  Fusion's  equipment  or  property  of  that of any of  Fusion's  affiliates,
customers,  agents or licensees,  whether located in the Facility, the Equipment
Space, or elsewhere.

5. ACCESS TO FACILITY; INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT: Licensee shall
have  unrestricted  access to the  Equipment  Space for 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.

6. ACCEPTANCE OF FACILITY AND THE EQUIPMENT SPACE: The installation of equipment
by Licensee shall be conclusive  evidence that Licensee accepts the Facility and
the Equipment  Space "as is, " and that the Facility and the Equipment Space are
suitable for the use intended by Licensee and were in satisfactory  condition at
the time the equipment was installed.

7.  MAINTENANCE  OF  PERMISES:  Licensee,  at its own  cost and  expense,  shall
protect,  maintain and keep in good order the Equipment  Space and any equipment
in the  Equipment  Space,  and  shall  ensure  that  neither  Licensee  nor  its
employees,  agents, contractors or invitees damage any part of the Facility, the
Equipment Space, and/or any equipment located in or about the Facility. Licensee
shall not maintain or permit any nuisances or violations of governmental laws,

                                     Page 2

                          COLOCATION LICENSE AGREEMENT


rules, regulations,  or ordinances with respect to the Facility.  Licensee shall
ensure that its employees, agents, contractors, or invitees shall not permit any
explosive,  flammable,  or  combustible  material  or  any  hazardous  or  toxic
materials,  as defined under  applicable  state,  federal or local laws,  rules,
regulations,  or ordinances  to be located in or about the  Facility,  except in
compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances.

8.  ALTERATIONS:  Without  the prior  approval  of  Fusion,  Licensee  shall not
commence any addition or alteration to the Facility,  the Equipment Space,  that
would in any way result in an increased cost to Fusion, or that might affect the
use of the Facility or other equipment by Fusion or any other licensee. Whenever
Fusion's approval of work is required,  Licensee shall deliver a written request
for  consent  to  Fusion,  specifying  the names and  addresses  of the  desired
contractors  or  subcontractors,  along with a description of the services to be
performed,  and the  desired  dates and  times of  service.  If Fusion  does not
respond  to  Licensee's  written  notice  requesting  approval  within  ten (10)
business days,  approval is deemed to have been given. In addition,  if approval
of any contractor or subcontractor is required by the terms of an agreement with
a lessor or other  party  holding a superior  interest in the  Facility.  Fusion
shall also submit the  written  request to such other  party for  approval,  and
Licensee's use of contractors shall be subject to the landlord's approval as set
forth in the underlying lease.

Licensee  shall pay or cause to be paid all costs and  charges (a) for work done
by Licensee or caused to be done by Licensee in or about the  Facility;  (b) for
all  materials  furnished  for or in  connection  with  such  work;  and (c) for
alterations  or additions to the  Facility or equipment  that require  Fusion to
incur costs.  Licensee  shall  indemnify  Fusion against and hold Fusion and the
Facility  free and clear of and from all  mechanics'  liens and claims of liens,
and all other liabilities,  liens,  claims,  demands,  costs and expenses of any
kind on account of such work done by or on behalf of Licensee.  If any such lien
is filed at any time against the Facility,  or any part thereof,  Licensee shall
cause such lien to be discharged of record within ten (10) days after the filing
thereof,  except that if Licensee  desires to contest such lien, it will furnish
Fusion, within such ten-day period,  security reasonably  satisfactory to Fusion
of at least 100% of the amount of the claim,  plus estimated costs and interest.
If a final  judgment  establishing  the  validity or existence of a lien for any
amount is entered,  Licensee  shall pay and satisfy the same without  delay.  If
Licensee fails to pay any charge and related costs and interest,  and the amount
so paid,  together with  reasonable  attorneys' fees incurred in connection with
such lien, will be immediately due from Licensee to Fusion. Nothing contained in
this License  shall be deemed to  constitute a consent or agreement of Fusion to
subject the Facility to  liability  under any  mechanics'  or other lien law. If
Licensee  receives  notice that a lien has been or is about to be filed  against
the Facility,  or any action  affecting title to the Facility has been commenced
on  account of work done by or on behalf of, or  materials  furnished  to or for
Licensee,  Licensee will  immediately give Fusion written notice of such notice.
At least fifteen (15) days before  commencement  of any work  (including but not
limited to any maintenance,  repaired, alterations,  additions,  improvements or
installations)  in or to the Facility or the Equipment Space by or for Licensee,
Licensee  will  give  Fusion  notice  of the  proposed  work and the  names  and
addresses of the persons  supplying  labor and materials for the proposed  work.
Fusion  shall  have the right to post  notices of  nonresponsibility  or similar
notices at the Facility in order to protect the Facility against any such liens.

9.  COMPLIANCE  WITH LAWS:  Licensee shall, at Licensee's sole cost and expense,
comply with all federal,  state and local laws, rules,  regulations,  ordinances
and  requirements,  whether  now in force or  hereinafter  enacted,  relating to
Licensee's use of the Facility and the Equipment Space. Licensee will obtain all
required  permits  and  licenses  pertaining  to  the  installation,  operation,
maintenance and repair of its equipment in the Facility and the Equipment Space.

10. WAIVER OF LIABILITY: INDEMNIFICATION:

(a) FUSION SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE,  AND  LICENSEE  HEREBY  RELEASES AND
WAIVES  ALL  CLAIMS  AGAINST  FUSION,  FOR ANY  INJURY  OR DAMAGE  ARISING  FROM
INTERRUPTIONS OF SERVICE OR POWER,  EVEN IF CAUSED BY THE NEGLIENCE OF FUSION OR
ITS EMPLOYEES,  AGENS OR CONTRACTORS.  NEITHER PARY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
PARY FOR NAY INDIRECT,  SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFITS
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

LICENSEE EXPRESSLY  ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FUSION INTENDS TO ALLOW OTHER LICENSEES TO

                           (3)  Licensee's  abandonment  of the Facility  and/or

              performance  of any term,  condition,  or covenant of this License
              shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default or breach
              by Licensee of the same or any other term, condition,  or covenant
              contained in this License.
