                           ARTICLE IV. PAYMENTS TO ACI

Section  4.01     Compensation  to  ACT

In  consideration  for  the  Services,  Customer  shall  pay  to ACI the Billing
Services  Charges described in Section I of Schedule 4.01 (the "Billing Services
Charges"),  charges  for  any  Billing-Related  Services provided to Customer as
described  in  Sections  2 and 3 of Schedule 4.01 (the "Billing-Related Services
Charges")  and  any charges for Additional Services as set forth in any Schedule
3.03,  as  may  be  amended  by ACI from time to time, (the "Additional Services
Charges"). Customer acknowledges and agrees that ACI may deduct Billing Services
Charges,  Billing-Related  Services Charges and Additional Services Charges from
the  Remittances  it  receives  from  the B&C Processors prior to forwarding the
Disbursements  to  Customer. Any amounts owing to ACI pursuant to this Agreement
that  are not paid when due and payable will thereafter bear interest until paid
at  the  Late  Payment  Rate.

Section  4.02     Other  Expenses

Customer  will  pay  all  fees  and  expenses  of  ACI  for  reruns or otherwise
necessitated:  (a)  by  incorrect,  incomplete,  or  omitted  data  or erroneous
instructions  supplied  to ACI by or through Customer; (b) for the correction of
programming,  operator,  and  other processing errors caused by Customer, or its
respective  employees  or  agents; and/or (c) by incorrect reports that were not
rejected  by  Customer  within  the applicable time periods set forth in Section
5.03.

Section  4.03     Cost  of  Living  Adeustment

If  the  Consumer  Price  Index  for  All  Urban  Consumers, All Cities Average,
1982-84=100, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of
Labor  (the  "CPI"),  is  on January I of any year during the Term (the "Current
Index")  higher  than  the highest CPI on January 1 of any prior year during the
Term  (the  "Base  Index"),  then,  effective  as of such January 1, all amounts
payable  to  ACI  pursuant to this Agreement, as previously adjusted pursuant to
this  Section  4.03,  may  be  increased  thereafter  by the percentage that the
Current  Index  will  have  increased  from  the Base I~dex, and such amounts as
increased  pursuant  to this Section 4.03 will be deemed incorporated herein. If
the Bureau of Labor Statistics stops publishing the CPI or substantially changes
the  content  or  format  thereof,  the parties will substitute therefor another
comparable  measure published by a mutually agreeable source; provided, however,
that if such change is merely to redefine the base year for the CPI from 1982-84
to  some  other  year(s),  the parties will continue to use the CPI but will, if

In  the  event  of any dispute, controversy, or claim between the parties of any
kind  or  nature,  including  but  not  limited  to disputes arising under or in
connection with this Agreement (including disputes as to the creation, validity,
interpretation,  breach,  or termination of this Agreement) (the "Claim"), then,
upon  the  written  request  of either party, each of the parties will appoint a
senior manager designated to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such
Claim.  The  designated  representatives  will  meet  as  often  as  the parties
reasonably  deem  necessary  to  gather and furnish to the other all information
with  respect  to the matter in issue that the parties believe to be appropriate
and germane in connection with its resolution. Such representatives will discuss
the  Claim and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the Claim. During
the course of such negotiation, all reasonable requests made by one party to the
other  party  for  information will be honored in order that each of the parties
may  be  fully  advised as to the facts and circumstances surrounding the Claim.
However,  the parties acknowledge and agree that it is costly and time consuming
to  retrieve  certain  historical  data.  Therefore, the parties acknowledge and
agree  that  only  data  routinely  provided  from one party to another during a
designated  Claim  period  shall  be  required.  The  specific  format  for such
discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated representatives but
may  include  the  preparation  of  agreed  upon  statements  of fact or written
statements  of  position furnished to the other party. No formal proceedings for
the resolution of such Claim may be commenced until the earlier to occur of: (a)
the  designated  representatives  conclude  in  good  faith  that  an  amicable
resolution  through continued negotiation of the matter in issue does not appear
likely;  or  (b)  the sixtieth (60'b) day after the initial request to negotiate
such  dispute,  controversy,  or claim. The Parties agree that no Claim(s) older
than  one (1) year from inception or discovery of such Claim(s) shall be pursued
in  any  manner.

Section  7.02     Arbitration

(a)  If  the  parties are unable to resolve any Claim in accordance with Section
7.01,  the parties agree to submit such Claim to binding arbitration by a single
arbitrator  pursuant  to  the  Commercial  Arbitration  rules  of  the  American
Arbitration  Association. A party may demand such arbitration in accordance with
the  procedures  set  out  in  those  rules.


                                       12
<PAGE>
(b) Discovery shall be controlled by the arbitrator and shall be governed by the
Federal  Rules  of  Civil  Procedure.  If  decided  by the Arbitrator, the party
seeking  discovery  shall  reimburse  the  responding  party for the cost of the
production  of  documents,  including  search  time  and reproduction costs. The
arbitration  shall  be  held  in  Los Angeles County, California. The arbitrator
shall  control  the  scheduling  so  as to process the matter expeditiously. The
parties  may  submit  written  briefs. The arbitrator shall rule on the Claim by
issuing  a  written  opinion within thirty (30) calendar days after the close of
the  hearings.  The  time  frames specified in this Section 7.02 may be extended
upon mutual agreement of the parties or by the arbitrator upon a showing of good
cause.

(c)  Except  as provided in (b) above, each party shall bear its own fees, costs
and  expenses  of  arbitration, including its own legal and expert witness fees.
The  parties shall equally split the fees of the arbitration and the arbitrator.
The  arbitrator  may  award reimbursement of costs and/or fees to the prevailing
party.

(d)  Any award rendered by the arbitrator will be final, conclusive, and binding
upon  the  parties,  and any judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any
court  of  competent  jurisdiction.

Section  7.03     Exclusive  Remedy

Other  than  those matters involving injunctive relief as a remedy or any action
necessary  to  enforce  the  award of the Arbitrator, the parties agree that the
provisions  of  this  Article VII are a complete defense to any suit, action, or
other  proceeding  instituted in any court or before any administrative tribunal
with  respect  to  any  dispute,  controversy,  or  claim  arising  under  or in
connection  with  this Agreement or the provision of Services by ACI. Nothing in
this  Article  VII  will  prevent  the  parties  from exercising their rights to
tertninate  this  Agreement  in  accordance  with  Article  VIII.

Section  7.04     Tax  Disputes

Notwithstanding  the  provisions of this Article VII, if Customer disputes ACI's
determination  that any Taxes are payable by ACI on ACI's behalf or on behalf of
Customer,  disagrees with an assessment of any additional Taxes due by ACI or by
Customer as a result of ACI's performance of any obligation under this Agreement
or disagrees with a determination that any Taxes are applicable to ACI's billing
to  Customer  for  Services  under  this Agreement, Customer will, at Customer's
option  and expense (including without limitation payment for any Taxes prior to
final resolution of the issues), have the right to seek administrative relief, a
ruling,  judicial  review  (original  and appellate level), or other appropriate
review  as  to the applicability of any such Tax or to protest any such Tax, but
Customer  will  be liable for any Tax ultimately determined to be due. ACI will,
when  requested  by Customer and at Customer's expense, cooperate or participate
with  Customer  in  any  such  proceeding,  protest  or  legal challenge and may
participate,  at  ACI's  expense,  in  any  such  proceeding,  protest  or legal
challenge  if  Customer  does  not  so  request.

Any  party entitled to indemnification under this Article Ix will give the party
from which it is seeking indemnification prompt written notice of any matters in
respect  of  which  the  indemnity  may  apply  and  of which the party claiming
indemnification  has  knowledge;  provided,  however,  that  if a party claiming
indemnification  fails to give the other party prompt written notice, such other
party  will  only be relieved of its obligations under this Article IX if and to
the  extent  that  such  party is prejudiced thereby. if ACI is named by a third
party  in  a legal proceeding resulting from Customer's Billed Messages, acts or
omissions  pursuant  to this Agreement, ACI shall, due to ACI's expertise in the
billing  industry,  solely  control its own defense and Customer shall be liable
for all costs and expenses including attorneys' fees. ACI shall provide Customer
with invoices of actual costs and expenses incurred on a monthly basis, prior to
deducting  such costs and expenses. Should deductions be insufficient, ACI shall
invoice  Customer  for  sums  due and such invoice shall be due and payable upon
receipt.

Section  9.03     Limitation  of  Liability  and  Disclaimer  of  Warranties

If  ACI  is  at  any time liable to Customer as a result of any breach, dispute,
controversy,  or claim of any kind or nature arising under or in connection with
this  Agreement,  the  amount of damages recoverable against ACI for any and all
events, acts, or omissions will not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to
the  total  Billing  Services  Charges paid to ACI during the three-month period
immediately  preceding  the  initial occurrence of the first such event, act, or
omission to occur. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE
CONTRARY, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR
WHETHER  FROM  BREACH  OF  THIS  AGREEMENT, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER ACI HAS BEEN
ADVISED  OR SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, IN NO EVENT WILL
THE  MEASURE  OF DAMAGES RECOVERABLE BY CUSTOMER AGAINST ACI INCLUDE ANY AMOUNTS
FOR  INDIRECT,  CONSEQUENTIAL,  OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY PERSON OR FOR LOSS OF
ANTICIPATED  PROFITS  OR  OTHER  ECONOMIC LOSS OF ANY PERSON OR FOR DAMAGES THAT
COULD  HAVE  BEEN AVOIDED, USING REASONABLE DILIGENCE, BY CUSTOMER. In addition,
Customer  may  not assert any cause of action against ACI that accrued more than
one  year  prior  to  the  filing  of  a suit alleging such cause of action. The
limitation  set  forth in this Section 9.03 will not apply to the duty of ACI to
deliver,  in  accordance  with this Agreement, to Customer any Disbursements due
Customer  that  are  being  held  by  AC1.

OTHERWISE (IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY PREVIOUS COURSE OF DEALING BETWEEN THE PARTIES OR
CUSTOM OR USAGE OF TRADE) OF ANY SOFTWARE, SERVICES, OR MATERIALS PROVIDED UNDER

Section  9.04     Acknowledgment

allocation  of  risks  between  the  parties,  including the level of risk to be
associated  with  the provision of the Services as related to the payments to be
made  to  ACI  for  such  Services,  and  each  party  irrevocably  accepts such
limitations.

including without limitation failures or fluctuations in electrical power, heat,
light,  air  conditioning  or  telecommunications  equipment  or  lines or other

Section  10.05  Rights  of  ACI  to  Provide  Services  to  Others.

Customer  acknowledges  and  agrees  that ACI may provide billing and collection
services  and  other  information  technology  services  to  other  Persons.

Section  10.06  Relationship  of  Parties.

In  furnishing the Services to, or on behalf of, Customer, ACI is acting only as
an independent contractor. ACI does not undertake by this Agreement or otherwise
to  perform any obligation of Customer, whether regulatory or contractual, or to
assume any responsibility for Customer's business or operations. ACI will not be
considered  or  be deemed to be an agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of
Customer,  and  no  other relationship is intended or created by and between ACI
and  Customer.  ACI  has  the sole right to supervise, manage, contract, direct,
procure  and  provide,  or  cause  to  be  provided, all Services to be provided
pursuant  to  this  Agreement.

Section  10.07  Authorization.

Customer  hereby  authorizes  ACI  to  include  Customer's  name, address, phone
number,  and  any  other information required by any B&C Processor or Government
Authority,  and billing information in each Outclearing Tape or bill; to collect
and  hold  for  Customer  the  Disbursements,  if  any,  payable to Customer; to
disburse  to  Customer the Disbursements, if any, as provided in this Agreement;
and  to  take


                                       19
<PAGE>
all  other  actions  that ACI deems reasonably necessary to discharge its duties
and  responsibilities  under  this  Agreement,  as fully as Customer could do if
personally  present,  and  Customer  hereby  ratifies  and confirms all that ACI
lawfully  does  or  causes  to be done by virtue of the rights contained in this
Section  10.07. The authority granted to ACI under this Section 10.07 is coupled
with  an interest and is irrevocable except by expiration or termination of this
Agreement  and  subject  to  Section  8.07.

Section  10.08  Severability

(a)  Subject  to  the  provisions  of Section 10.08(b), if any provision of this
Agreement, or the application of any such provision is declared judicially to be
invalid,  unenforceable  or  void,  such  decision  will  not have the effect of
invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, it being the intent and
agreement of the parties that this Agreement will be deemed amended by modifying
such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable
while  preserving  its  intent  or,  if  such  modification  is not possible, by
substituting;  therefore,  another  provision  that is legal and enforceable and
that achieves the same objective. In addition, if such invalid, unenforceable or
void  provision  does not materially affect the payments to be made to ACI under
this  Agreement,  and if the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected by
such  declaration and is capable of substantial performance, then each provision
not  so  affected  will  be  enforced  to  the  maximum extent permitted by law.

(b)  If  any provision referred to in Section 10.08(a) is declared judicially to
be  invalid,  unenforceable  or  void, and the fact thereof, or any amendment or
modification  thereto  as  set forth in Section 10.08(a), materially affects the
payments  to  be  made  to  ACI  under this Agreement, then ACI may, at its sole
discretion,  terminate  this  Agreement  in  its  entirety.

Section  10.09  Waivers

The  observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or
in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the party
entitled  to  enforce such term, but such waiver will be effective only if it is
in  a  writing  signed by the party against which such waiver is to be asserted.
Unless  otherwise  expressly provided in this Agreement, no delay or omission on
the  part of any party in exercising any right or privilege under this Agreement
will  operate  as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any party
of  any right or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other
right  or privilege under this Agreement nor will any single or partial exercise
of  any right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise  of  any  other  right  or  privilege  under  this  Agreement.

Section  10.10  Entire  Amement

This  Agreement (including the Schedules attached hereto) constitutes the entire
agreement  between  the  parties  with  respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes  all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether
written  or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement,  and  there  are  no  representations,  understandings  or agreements
relating  to  this Agreement that are not fully expressed herein. This Agreement

behalf  of each of the parties to this Agreement. All Schedules attached to this
Agreement are expressly made a part of, and incorporated by reference into, this

Agreement,  and  its rights and obligations hereunder, to any of its affiliates.

Section  10.12  No  Third  Party  Beneficiary

This  Agreement  will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to
this  Agreement  and  their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement is
not intended, nor will it be construed, to create or convey any right in or upon
any person or entity not a party to this Agreement. ACI will not be responsible,
financially or otherwise, for the Services provided hereunder to any party other
than  Customer.

application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Any permitted action brought in

California,  and  the  parties  hereby  waive  any  objection  to  venue.

BILLING  SERVICES

Schedule  3.01  Billina  Services

1.   Billin2  Services

     (a)  B&C  Contracts.  ACI will provide Billing Services relating to the B&C
Processors. Customer hereby acknowledges that ACI has provided it with a listing
of  the  current  B&C  Processors. ACI may amend or supplement from time to time
such  listing  and  will  provide  Customer  with  a  copy  of  the  amended  or
supplemented  listing  as  soon  as  reasonably  practicable.

     (b)  On-Net  File.  Customer  hereby  acknowledges  that  ACI  will provide
Customer  with  a  copy  of the On-Net File. ACI may revise the On-Net File from
time to time and will provide Customer with a copy of the revised On-Net File as
soon  as  reasonably  practicable.

     (c)  Approved Message Format. Upon receipt of a Message tape from Customer,
ACI will determine whether the Message data contained thereon is in the standard
exchange  message interface format or another format that has been chosen by ACI
(the  "Approved  Message  Format").  Customer  hereby  acknowledges that ACI has
provided  it with the current Approved Message Format. ACI may from time to time
revise  the  Approved  Message  Format  based  on  reasonable business needs (as
determined  in  good faith by ACI), the requirements of any B&C Contract, or the
requirements of any Governmental Authority and will provide Customer with a copy
of  the  revised  Approved  Message  Format.  Customer will comply with such new
format within ninety (90) days after receipt of a copy of the updated or revised
Approved Message Fon-nat; provided, however, that Customer will comply with such
new  format  within  thirty  (30) days after receipt of a copy of the updated or
revised  Approved  Message  Format if ACI notifies Customer that such new format
was  revised  to  comply  with  industrystandard  formats.

     (d)  Editin2,  Balancing, and Formatting. If Customer's Messages are in the
Approved  Message  Format,  ACI  will edit, balance, and format such Messages in
accordance  with  the  requirements of the appropriate B&C Processors. If any of
Customer's  Messages  are not in the Approved Message Format or if such Messages
are  rejected  by  ACI  or  ACI discovers other errors as the result of editing,
balancing,  or  reviewing the format (such Messages are referred to as "Rejected
Messages"),  ACI  will send such Rejected Messages (in standard machine readable
form)  to  the  Customer Representative within seven (7) Business Days after the
receipt  of  the  Messages from Customer. Customer shall use its best efforts to
reformat and resubmit such Rejected Messages to ACI following Customer's receipt
of  the  Messages  from  ACI.


                                       24
<PAGE>
     (e)  Data  Files.  After  editing,  balancing, and formatting, the Billable
Messages  shall  be  forwarded  to the appropriate B&C Processor within five (5)
business days of receipt (the "Data Files") for billing to, and collection from,
End  Users  in  accordance  with  the  applicable  B&C  Contract.

     (f)  Returned Messages. If any of Customer's Billable Messages are returned
as  unbillable  by  a  B&C Processor that is providing ACI with automated return
item  processing  in  the  appropriate format such Messages will be deemed to be
"Returned  Messages".  In  the event ACI is unable to provide for the billing of
any  Returned  Messages (after Customer has made changes to the Messages if such

changes are possible) ACI will return such Message data to Customer and Customer
may  direct  bill  such  Returned  Messages.

     (g)  Sub-Carrier  Identification  Codes.  A sub-carrier identification code
("Sub-CIC")  for  the  purpose  of  identifying  the  Customer's name on the B&C
Processors' bills and tracking Billable Messages arising from End Users shall be
assigned to Customer. At Customer's request, additional Sub-CICs may be assigned
for  Customer  for  reasonable  business  needs  and  shall  herein  constitute
Additional  Services  hereunder.

     (h)  Special  Service  Message Processing, ACI will provide Special Service
Message  ("SSM")  processing  in LEC jurisdictions that allow for such messages.
For  purposes hereof, SSM means charges for telecommunications related services,
other  than  telephone  calls,  which are to be billed to an End-User by the B&C
Processor  and  which  have been approved for such billing by the applicable B&C
Processor  and  ACI.  The implementation of any SSM processing is subject to the
written  approval of ACI and the respective LEC. Customer agrees to subrifit all
information  required  by  ACI and the respective LEC prior to initiation of the
approval  and  implementation process. Such information will include, but not be
limited  to,  the  intended  use  of  the  SSM  service, copies of all marketing
materials  with  respect  to such service, and any other information required by
either  ACI  or  the  LEC in order initiate the approval implementation process.

          Charges  for  SSM  processing  ("SSM  Fees")  will  appear  on the B&C
Processor's  End  User  bill.

          In  connection  with  the  Services  to  be provided by ACI hereunder,
Customer  agrees  to  fulfill  the  obligation  set  forth  below:

          Oblijization  To  Provide Code Assi2nment. The Approved Message Format
used  for  most common types of calls (i.e., collect, billed to third party, and
most  line  number  format  calling  card calls) is referred to as the "01-01-01
format".  This  record  will  also  be used as the base record for billing SSMs.
Customer  will  receive a five-digit code (3NNNN) for each approved phrase. This
code  will be placed in positions 123 - 134 and 135 - 146 of the EMI record. ACI
will  translate to the proposed Special Service Message code phrase and reformat
the  record  for  output  to  the  appropriate  B&C  Processor.

Customer  Testing.  Customer  testing  is required for the first set-up on SSMs.

2.     Remittance  Processing


                                       25
<PAGE>
     (a)  Remittance  by  B&C  Processor.  The B&C Processors shall remit to ACI
pursuant  to the B&C Contracts less fees, charges, adjustments and those amounts
held  as bad debt reserves. The actual net amount so remitted to ACI by each B&C
Processor  is  referred  to  as  the  "Remittances."

(b)     Disbursement  by  ACI.

          Calculation  of  Disbursement.  Upon  the  receipt  by  ACI  of  the
Remittances  from  the B&C Processors, ACI: (i) will deduct from the Remittances
the  Billing  Services Charges, the Billing-Related Services Charges, Additional
Services  Charges  and any other charges specified in or as necessitated by this
Agreement,  including  without  limitation any amounts due ACI from time to time
pursuant  to  Sections  4.04 and 4.05 and Article IX; (ii) will add to or deduct
from the Remittances any adjustment resulting from the reconciliation of the bad
debt  withholdings  effected  by B&C Processors (as described in Section 2(f) of
this  Schedule  3.01);  (iii)  will  deduct from the Remittances any adjustments
effected  by ACI in connection with the Inquiry Services; (iv) will deduct ACI's
charges  or  for  processing call records on behalf of Customer; (v) will deduct
any amount ACI, in its sole discretion, withholds as an allowance for bad debts;
(vi)  will  deduct  the  B&C  Processor-Calculated  Taxes  collected  by the B&C
Processors  that  will  be  paid  to the appropriate taxing authorities from the
Remittances;  (vii)  will  deduct the B&C Processor's fees and other charges, as
well as any adjustments that may be effected by a B&C processor or ACI, from the
amounts  collected  from  End Users for Billable Messages; and (viii) will, upon
completion  of the deductions or additions described in (i) through (vii) above,
disburse  the  remainder  of  the Remittances to Customer (such disbursements to
Customer,  are  referred  to  herein  as  the  "Disbursements"). If requested in
writing  by  Customer,  ACI  will  make  Disbursements  to  Customer  by wire or
electronic  funds transfer to the bank or other depository designated in writing
by  Customer.  Customer  shall  be responsible for all wire and related charges.

(c)     Reserve.

          W  Pursuant to notice, if ACI reasonably determines that the aggregate
amount  of Remittances due from B&C Processors in respect of Customer's Billable
Messages  at  any  time  during  the  Term  is less than the aggregate amount of
Deductions  effected  by,  or  anticipated  by  ACI  to be effected by, such B&C
Processors,  or  effected  by adjustments or credits to be provided to End Users
(each  of  the  events referred to as a "Reserve Event"), then ACI will have the
right to withhold amounts from any Disbursements that would otherwise be payable
to  Customer  on and after the occurrence for the purpose of reimbursing ACI for
the  anticipated amounts to be charged and withheld by any B&C Processor, or for
adjustments or credits (the "Reserve"). An example of such a Reserve Event would
be  Billable Messages by Customer dropping by seventy-five percent (75%), or the
termination  or  anticipated  termination  of  this  Agreement. In the event any
invoice,  as  provided for in this Agreement, is not timely paid by Customer and
the entire amount of such invoice cannot be paid out of Disbursements, then such
amount  shall  be  added  to  the  Reserve  as  set  forth  herein.

          (ii)  In addition, ACI shall establish a reserve for reconciliation of
bad  debt  charges  effected  by  such  B&C  Processors pertaining to Customer's
Billable  Messages (the "Frue-Up Reserve"). The initial True-Up Reserve, as soon
as  LEC  Billing  Services are commenced, shall be five percent (5%). ACI may at
any  time  increase  or  decrease  the  True-Up Reserve based on actual bad debt
withheld  by  the  B&C  Processors  and/or  based  upon  Customer's  actual  or
anticipated  bad  debt related to its Billable Messages to offset any shortfalls
that  may  be  incurred  by  ACI.


                                       26
<PAGE>
          (iii)  If  at  any  time  the  Reserves  and/or  True-Up  Reserve  are
insufficient,  ACI  will  invoice  Customer for the amount of the shortfall, and
Customer  shall  remit  full payment to ACI within ten (10) business days of the
date  of  the  invoice.  Any excess of Reserves and/or True-Up Reserves shall be
remitted to Customer by ACI upon ACI's reasonable determination that there is no
longer  a  need  for  a  Reserve  and/or  True-Up  Reserve.

     (d)  Reports. ACI will provide reports to Customer that reflect the amounts
due from the B&C Processors, the results of Rejected Messages, Returned Messages
and  other  adjustments, the amounts remitted by the B&C Processors, the amounts
withheld by the B&C Processors for bad debts, and the actual bad debts incurred.
ACI  will  transmit  Call  Acceptance Transmittal (CAT) reports within seven (7)
Business  Days  after  the  receipt of Message data from Customer, will transmit
Remittance reports at the time that ACI makes the Disbursements to Customer, and
will  transmit  bad  debt  true-up  reports  to  Customer in the month following
receipt  of  LEC  bad  debt  true-up  data  by  ACI.

     (e) Adjustments and Unbillables. Customer acknowledges that deductions from
amounts  remitted to ACI from B&C Processors in respect of Returned Messages and
adjustments  will  be charged to Customer through an allocation: (i) to Customer
to  the extent that such deduction can be solely attributed to Customer based on
data  provided  to  ACI  by the applicable B&C Processor; or (ii) pro rata among
Customer  and  other  customers of ACI if such deduction cannot be attributed to
specific  customers.  Pro  rata  allocations of any such deduction in accordance
with  the  foregoing  will  be  calculated  based  on  the  amount of Customer's
deductions  solely  attributed to Customer (as defined above) as a percentage of
all deductions solely attributed to all ACI Customers during the period to which
such  deduction  relates  or  such  other  method  as ACI determines in its sole
discretion  is  appropriate  based  on  empirical  data  available  to  ACI.

(f)     Bad  Debt  Reconciliation  and  Allocation.

          (i)  Reconciliation.  ACI  will,  as  provided  in  the B&C Contracts,
periodically  reconcile  the amount withheld by each B&C Processor for bad debts
with  the  actual amount of bad debts incurred by such B&C Processor (a "True-Up
Reconciliation"). The determination of whether a bill has become a bad debt will
be  made  by each B&C Processor. ACI will advise Customer of the results of such
Reconciliation.

          (ii)  Pro  Rata Allocations. If any Reconciliation results in a refund
to  ACI  of amounts previously deducted by such B&C Processor (a "Refund"), and,
based  on data provided to ACI by the applicable B&C Processor, ACI is unable to
detennine  the  amount  of such Reconciliation directly attributable to specific
customers,  then  the  Refund will be remitted pro rata among Customer and other
customers  of  ACI.  Customer's  share of any such Refund will be applied in the
following  order:  (i)  as an offset against any amounts owed by Customer to ACI
pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) as a cash payment to Customer within thirty
(30)  days  after  the  receipt  of  the  Refund  by  ACI.

          Likewise,  if  any  Reconciliation  results  in  a  deduction  in  the
Remittance  paid  to  ACI in addition to amounts previously deducted by such B&C
Processor  (a "Deduction"), and, based on data provided to ACI by the applicable
B&C  Processor,  ACI  is  unable  to determine the amount of such Reconciliation
directly  attributable  to  specific customers, the amount of any such Deduction
will  be  charged  to  Customer through a pro rata allocation among Customer and
other  customers  of  ACI.


                                       27
<PAGE>
          Pro rata allocations of any Refund or Deduction in accordance with the
foregoing  will  be  calculated  based  on  either:  (x)  the  amount of revenue
represented  by  the  call records submitted by ACI on behalf of Customer to the
applicable  B&C  Processor  during  the period to which such Refund or Deduction
relates  compared to the total revenue represented by all call records submitted
by  ACI  on  behalf  of  all  of its customers to such B&C Processor during such
period;  or  (y)  such  other method as ACI determines in its sole discretion is
appropriate  based  on  empirical  data  available  to  ACI.

          Customer-Specific  Allocations.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if,
based  on  data  provided to ACI by the applicable B&C Processor, ACI is able to
directly  attribute  the amount of any such Reconciliation to its customers on a
customer-by-customer  basis,  then  ACI  will  charge  to Customer, or refund to
Customer,  the  applicable  amount  attributable to Customer as a result of such
Reconciliation.  The  amount of any such refund will be applied in the following
order:  (i) as an offset against any amounts owed by Customer to ACI pursuant to
this  Agreement  and  (ii) as a cash payment to Customer within thirty (30) days
after  the  receipt  of  such  refund  by  ACI.

3.     Taxes

     (a)  Federal,  State,  and  Local Taxes. ACI will use reasonable efforts to
cause the B&C Processors, to the extent that the following services with respect
to  the calculation of certain taxes are available from such B&C Processors, (i)
to calculate all taxes applicable to each Message (the "B&C Processor-Calculated
Taxes"),  (ii)  to  furnish  the  information  relating  to  such  B&C
Processor-Calculated  Taxes  to ACI, and (iii) to bill the End Users for all B&C
Processor-Calculated  Taxes and to the extent that such services with respect to
the  calculation  of  Foreign  Intrastate  Taxes  are  available  from  such B&C
Processor, Foreign Intrastate Taxes. ACI will calculate Foreign Intrastate Taxes
for  those  B&C  Processors that are capable of receiving Foreign Intrastate Tax
calculations  from ACI. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ACI is acting only
as  Customer's agent with respect to arranging for the billing and collection of
taxes.  To  the extent that any B&C Processor: (A) does not provide services, or
that  ACI does not provide such services, with respect to the calculation of the
B&C  Processor-Calculated  Taxes;  or  (B)  is  not capable of receiving Foreign
Intrastate  Tax  calculations  from  ACI,  Customer  will be responsible for the
calculation  of  such  taxes  hereunder.

     (b)  B&C Processor Responsibilities. ACI will have the authority, on behalf
of  Customer,  to  authorize  the  B&C  Processors:  (i)  to  calculate  the B&C
Processor-Calculated  Taxes  in  the same manner as the B&C Processors calculate
taxes  for their end users; (ii) to bill and collect Foreign Intrastate Taxes as
calculated and processed by ACI; and (iii) to establish the tax exempt status of
End  Users  in  the  same manner as the B&C Processors establish such status for
their  end  users.


                                       28
<PAGE>
     (c)  Payment  of Taxes. Based solely upon the information received from the
B&C  Processors  with  respect  to the B&C Processor-Calculated Taxes billed and
collected  by  the  B&C  Processors,  ACI  will, on behalf of Customer and other
subscribers  of  ACI,  prepare  and  file in a timely manner with the applicable
taxing  authorities  all returns covering the B&C Processor-Calculated Taxes and
ACIcalculated Foreign Intrastate Taxes and will, on behalf of Customer and other
subscribers of ACI, pay promptly and in full all of the B&C Processor-Calculated
Taxes  and  ACI-calculated  Foreign  Intrastate  Taxes  collected  by  the  B&C
Processors  from  End  Users  to  the  appropriate  taxing  authorities.

     (d)  Liability.  Customer  acknowledges  and  agrees  that ACI will have no
liability  whatsoever  to Customer if. (i) the B&C Processors fail to calculate,
or  incorrectly  calculate,  the  B&C  Processor-Calculated  Taxes; (ii) the B&C
Processors  fail  to  furnish  the  information  relating  to  the  B&C
Processor-Calculated  Taxes  to  ACI;  (iii) the B&C Processors fail to bill, or
incorrectly  bill,  the End Users, (iv) the B&C Processors fail to establish the
tax  exempt  status  of  End  Users  in  the  same  manner as the B&C Processors
calculate  taxes  or establish the tax exempt status for their End Users; or (v)
ACI  miscalculates any End User's Taxes whether resulting from the use by ACI of
inaccurate  or  incomplete  tax  or  End  User information supplied to ACI by or
through  Customer, or a third party or otherwise, including, but not limited to,
the  tax  status  of  an  End  User  or  the applicable tax rates. Customer will
indemnify and defend ACI and will hold ACI harmless from and against any and all
claims,  actions,  damages,  liabilities,  costs and expenses, including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, that are asserted against or
incurred by ACI as a result of or in connection with any of the matters referred
to  above.

4.     Bulletin  Board

     (a)  Bulletin Board Syste . In connection with the provision of services by
ACI  pursuant to this Agreement, ACI shall provide Customer with access to ACI's

subject  to  the restrictions on disclosure thereof set forth in Section 6.03 of
this  Agreement.  In  addition  to such obligations, Customer agrees to hold any

codes and/or passwords to any other Person except employees of Customer who have
a  need to know such codes and/or passwords. Customer hereby agrees to indemnify
and  hold  harmless  ACI, its employees, agents, representatives, directors, and
officers  from  any and all losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including,

of  inquiry  services  provided  by  one or more B&C Processor, to (a) establish
toll-free  telephone  numbers  to be used by End Users for the purpose of making
inquiries  regarding  charges for Billable Messages reflected on bills issued by
such  B&C Processors and (b) provide operators to assist End Users in connection

made  on  a  B&C  Processor-by-B&C Processor basis and will include all Billable
Messages  sent  to that B&C Processor by or through Customer and other customers
of  ACI.  To  the  extent  that  ACI  determines to provide such Primary Inquiry
Services,  ACI  will make available such quantity of toll-free telephone numbers
as  ACI  deems  necessary  for  use  by  End  Users in connection with inquiries
regarding charges for services that were rendered by Customer and transmitted by
ACI  to  a  B&C  Processor  and  will  instruct  each B&C Processor to refer all
inquiries  from  End  Users  to  such  toll-free  telephone  numbers.

          In  connection with any Primary Inquiry Services that ACI may provide,
ACI  will  establish and maintain written guidelines that describe the manner in
which  ACI  will respond to End User inquiries, including without limitation the
manner  in  which  credits or other appropriate adjustments are to be made, with
such  supplements and amendments as may be necessary from time to time. ACI will
provide  Customer  with a copy of such written guidelines and any supplements or
amendments  thereto  upon  Customer's  request.  ACI  will  be  responsible  for

handling  of  all  such  End  User  inquiries:


                                       33
<PAGE>
          G)  Customer  must  maintain  a  toll-free  customer service telephone
number  to  handle all End User inquiries which are automatically transferred to
Customer's  call  center;

          (ii) All End User inquiries must be handled only by live operators and
not  by  message  machine  or  other  devices,  at a service level that meets or
exceeds  parameters  set  from  time  to  time  by  ACI;

          (iii)  ACI  has the right at any time and from time to time to monitor
calls  to  verify  that  End  User  inquiries are being handled appropriately by
Customer's  call  center;

          (iv)  ACI  will  handle  all End User credits or other adjustments and
Customer  will,  within  three Business Days of the End User inquiry, provide to
ACI  all  information  necessary  for  ACI  to  provide such End User credits or
adjustments  in  accordance with its established procedures. All such credit and
adjustment  information  will  be  provided  to ACI in a format approved by ACI.
Customer  agrees  that  it will not issue End User credits or adjustments of any
type  in a manner other than stated above in this Schedule 3.02, Section(b)(iv);

          (v)  Customer  will  be  responsible  for  providing  to  ACI  updated
subscriber  account  information (name, address, service type, etc.) in a format
approved  by  ACI, on a regular basis as determined by ACI; but in no event less
than  monthly;  and

          (vi)  Customer  acknowledges that the determination of ACI to transfer
End  User  inquiries  to  customer  will  be  made  on a customer identification
number-by-custorner  identification  number basis and will include all inquiries
related  to  any  such  customer  identification  number.

     Notwithstanding anything above in this section to the contrary, ACI may, in
its  sole  discretion  and at any time, discontinue the transferring of End User
inquiries  to  Customer's call center if Customer fails to satisfactorily handle
any  End  User  inquiry. The transfer of End User inquiries to Customer does not
abridge  Affs  right to issue End User adjustments or credits in accordance with
its  established  procedures.

2.     Complaint  Processing  Services.

     ACI will process regulatory and legislative complaints relating to Customer
(the "Complaint Processing Services") as described in this Section 2 of Schedule

     With  respect  to  each  legislative  or regulatory complaint for which ACI
provides  Complaint  Processing  Services,  Customer  will pay ACI the amount of
fifty  dollars  ($50.00)  plus  any  out-ofpocket  expenses  incurred  by ACI in
connection with providing the Complaint Processing Services. Charges due ACI for
Complaint Processing Services are subject to adjustment from time to time by ACI
upon  sixty  (60)  days'  prior  notice  to  Customer.

4.     Calculation  of  B&C  Processor  Fees.

     Special  Service  Messaaes. During the Term of the Agreement, provided that
the  number  of  Customer's Billable SSMs per month is equal to or more than 1.5
per LEC per End User telephone bill, each B&C Processor's charges for processing
Billable  SSMs  will  be  calculated  to reflect the Customer's actual number of
Billable  SSMs  per  bill  per  B&C  Processor.

     By way of example, if the Ameritech number of Billable Messages per bill is
1.4,  then  the  B&C  Processor  charge  will  be  calculated  as  follows:

@  1.4  Billable  Messages  per  bill     =  $0.400  Render  fee
1.4  Messages  x  .  10  Processing  Fee  =  $0.140  Message  Processing  Fee

                                          =  $0.540  Total  Fee  therefore;

B&C  Processor  Fee                       =  $0.3857  per  Message
Data  Transmission  Fee                   =  $0.0045  ver  Messaae
                                          =  $0.3902  Total  Fee  per  Message

     If  the actual number of Billable SSMs per bill is less than 1.5, or if the
B&C  Processor  does  not provide a discount calculated in the foregoing manner,
each  B&C  Processor's  charges  passed through to Customer will be equal to the
average  charge  for  all  similar  customers  processing  0+ Billable Messages.

     Notwithstanding  anything  in  this  Section 4 to the contrary, in no event
will the B&C Processor's charges passed through to Customer be less than the fee
paid  by  ACI  to  such  B&C  Processors.
