billing  area  of  such  LEC,  subject  to  the  terms, conditions and operating
procedures  contained in each LEC Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated

     (f)     End  User  Inquiry,  Investigation and Credit ("Customer Service"):
             ------------------------------------------------------------------
Company's  Customer Service procedures are set forth in Exhibit "F," as they may
be changed from time to time. Customer agrees that Company has sole and complete
discretion  to  address  any  inquiries addressed to or through it by End Users,

SECTION  4.  CUSTOMER'S  OBLIGATIONS.
------------------------------------
     (a)     Cooperation  by  Customer:  Customer will cooperate with Company to
             -------------------------
the fullest extent possible to facilitate the provisioning of services described
in  Section  3 herein. Such cooperation will include, but not be limited to, the
following:
               (i) Supplying Company with Customer's  identification  codes, any
          and all certifications of regulatory  authority necessary for Customer
          to  offer  its  services,  and any  other  information  and  documents
          reasonably necessary or helpful to Company;
               (ii)  Supplying  Company  with  all  technical   information  and
          assistance with testing that may be reasonably necessary or helpful to
          Company in providing its services, as determined by Company;
               (iii) Supplying Company with requested  information on End Users,
          including LOAs and marketing  information within two (2) Business Days
          of Company's request; and
               (iv) Supplying Company with all information  requested by Company
          as set forth in Exhibit "G."
          (b)     Applicable  Approvals  and  Compliance with Law: Customer will
                  -----------------------------------------------

Tariffs,  certifications  and approvals and will fully comply with, and has full
responsibility  to  comply  with,  all other applicable federal, state and local
rules, regulations, laws and Tariffs. No provision in this Agreement shall cause
or  be  construed  to  cause  either  party  to  violate any legal or regulatory
requirement.  Customer  certifies  that  all  Records submitted by Customer will
comply  with  the  service provider's certifications and Tariffs in the relevant
jurisdictions  for  that Record and with all applicable state and federal rules,
regulations,  laws  and  Coalition Guidelines. Customer agrees that Company will
assume  no  responsibility  for  such compliance whatsoever and that Company may
discontinue billing without notice for any product that it has reason to believe
does  not  comply  with  applicable rules, regulations and laws or the Coalition
Guidelines. Customer acknowledges that certain LEC billing systems contain edits
and screens that "block" Customer's Records from being billed to End Users until
Company  can  demonstrate  to  such  LECs that Customer has proper authority for
providing  its  services to the End User. Customer further acknowledges that the
LEG  controls  the  timeframe  for  such notification to become effective at the
LEGs.  Therefore,  Company  will  not  be  responsible for processing Customer's
Records  for services provided prior to the LECs removing their regulatory edits
and  screens  from  their  billing  systems.
     (c)     Authorized  Charges:  Customer  will submit Records to Company only
             -------------------
for  services  that  have been properly authorized by End Users, as described in
Exhibit  "G."  Customer  agrees  to  cancel  services for End Users that request
cancellation.  Customer certifies that its Records are supported by a valid LOA.
Customer  agrees  to  timely  provide Company with a valid 39 record (containing
authorization  information)  for  each  Record  submitted.
     (d)     Validation:  Customer  will  validate  all  collect,  third  party
             ----------
and LEC calling card billed Records using the LECs' LIDBs (Line Information Data
Bases)  or  other  alternative  validation  method that complies with applicable
rules,  regulations  and  laws  and  is  acceptable  to the LECs and Company. If
Company  determines  that Customer has not properly validated such Records, then
Company  will  have  the  right,  but  not  the  duty, to validate such calls at
Company's  then  applicable  validation  fee  or  to  reject  such  Records.
     (e)     Completed  Calls:  Customer  warrants that it is in compliance
             ----------------
with  the  FCC's  order  to determine call connection using hardware or software
"answer  detection." Customer further agrees that it will submit to Company only
those  Records  for  calls  that  represent valid, completed calls as defined in
Exhibit
     (f)     Aged Records:  Customer  will  not  submit  Records to Company that
             ------------
are more than one hundred twenty (120) days old or that exceed the "age of toll"
acceptable  by  the  LECs,  whichever  is  less.
     (g)     Minimum  Transmission  Volumes:
             ------------------------------
Customer  will  not  submit  to Company less than Five Hundred Dollars ($500) in
Company  Processing  Fees  per  Library  Code  in  any  single  transmission.

     (h)     Review of Reporting: Customer will be responsible for reviewing all
             -------------------
reports  and  notices generated by ARRS, ARRS user manuals and other information
posted  to  any  bulletin  board  or  internet  service  maintained  by Company,
transmitted  by  e-mail, mail or otherwise by Company, and for notifying Company
of  any inaccuracies within ninety-one (91) days of the date such information is
made available to Customer. Failure to notify Company of any inaccuracies within
such time period will constitute acceptance thereof. Such reporting will be made
once  under this Agreement. If Customer requests additional copies of electronic
reports,  or  requests  that  electronic  reports  be  produced in printed form,
Customer  agrees  to  pay  Company's  then  prevailing rates for such additional
reports.  Additional charges will be incurred if information has to be retrieved
from archives. Such fees also will apply to material compelled to be produced in
response  to  first-party or third-party requests, including those of regulatory
or  law  enforcement  bodies  or  judicial  rules,  orders or subpoenas. Company
provides  reports,  notices,  user  manuals  and  individual  training to assist
Customer.  New  customers  should  attend  training  on  Company's  systems  and
reporting methods at Company's headquarters within one hundred eighty (180) days
of  the  Effective  Date.
     (i)     Objectionable  Content:  Customer  agrees,  as  a  condition  of
             ----------------------
Company's  performance  under  this  Agreement,  that  Customer  will not submit
Records  for  processing  under  this Agreement that contain or refer to matters

               (v)     Through advertising,  content or delivery, are deceptive,
          or may take unfair advantage of minors,  the  elderly  or the  general
          public;
               (vi)    Are publicly accessible, multi-party connections commonly
          known as or "chat" services;
               (vii)   Are  offered  by   Customer  or  its  agents   using box,
          sweepstakes or contest-type entry forms;
               (viii)  Are offered by Customer or negative  option sales offers;

          products for which their  policies  permit them to bill and collect or
          that Company believes, in its sole discretion, will jeopardize its LEG
          Agreements; or
              (xv)    Company  determines,  in  its  sole  discretion,  to  be
          deceptive or anti-consumer.
Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of this section, the parties acknowledge
that  Company  has  no  reasonable  means  of  determining  the  validity  of or
authorization  for  Records sent to Company for processing under this Agreement,
and  that  Company therefore strictly relies upon Customer to forward only valid
and  authorized  Records  that can be, if necessary, substantiated in a court of
law  or  to a regulatory body. Customer warrants and represents, when submitting
Records  to  Company,  that  such  Records  are  true and correct and accurately
reflect  proper charges legally owed by Customer's End User. Company may, at any
time  during the Tern, cease providing services under this Agreement immediately
upon  notice  to  Customer  as  a  result  of  a  violation  of  this paragraph.

             -------------------------------
Customer  warrants that the Records submitted and to be submitted by Customer to
Company  pursuant to this Agreement are owned by Customer and not subject to any
Claims,  are  not  and  will  not be subject to any other billing and collection
agreement,  have not been billed previously by any method and will not be billed
by  Customer or another party following their submission by Customer to Company.
Notwithstanding  the  above,  Customer  may bill Company Rejected Records or LEG
Rejected  Records  after  the  deficiency  has  been  corrected.  Customer  may
not  double  bill  or initiate secondary collection efforts for any records that
have  billed through the LECs.  Customer has made a reasonable investigation and
is  not  aware  of  any  impediment  to  its  entering  into  this  Agreement.
     (k)     LEC  Billing  Compliance:  Customer  will  conduct  business  in
             ------------------------
accordance  with  all  policies  and  guidelines  of  those LECs responsible for
billing  and  collecting  Customer's  Qualifying  Records.

             ---------------------------------------
right  to  collect  from  Customer  all  attorneys'  fees,  costs  and  expenses

written  notice  of  non-renewal from either party delivered at least ninety-one
(91)  days  prior to the scheduled expiration date. The Initial Term and Renewal
Terms  will  constitute  the  "Term."

SECTION  6.  LEC  RELATED  PAYMENTS,  FEES  AND  ASSESSMENTS.
-----------------------------------------------  -----------
     (a)     Payment  by  LECs:  Each  LEC  makes  payments  to  Company  for
             -----------------
Qualifying  Records purchased from Company in accordance with the LEC Agreement.
Company  will  not be responsible for payment to Customer of any funds collected
by  a  LEC  but  not  distributed  to  Company.
     (b)     Amount  Distributed  by  LECs:  Customer  acknowledges  that  each
             -----------------------------
LEG  distributes  to Company the gross amount of Qualifying Records purchased by
the  LEC  and  then  the LEC or Company deducts the then-applicable Assessments.
     (c)     Assessments:  Customer  acknowledges  that  Company  is and will be
             -----------
bound  by  the  terms  of the LEC Agreements with respect to each LEG's right to
deduct or to reduce its collectible funds for (i) the amount of LEG-related fees
and  costs  associated  with  processing Customer's Qualifying Records, a recent
list  of  which has either been disclosed or made available to Customer (subject
to  change  without notice to Customer), (ii) any Short-term Dilution, (iii) any
Post-billing  Adjustments  or Credits, (iv) any reserve for anticipated Bad Debt
("Bad  Debt  Reserve"),  (v)  any  periodic  reconciliation between the Bad Debt
Reserve  and  the actual Bad Debt realized by the LECs ("Bad Debt True-up"), and
(vi)  any  other related Assessments. In addition, Customer will) be responsible
for  any  data  transmission, data transmission correction, or distribution fees
incurred  in  the  delivery  or  receipt of Customer's Records and for any other
charges  related  to billing and collecting Customer's Records. Customer further
agrees  that  payment of all amounts described in this Section 6.(c) will be its
sole  responsibility and that Company may withhold such amounts from payments to
Customer. Should such amounts exceed the amounts due Customer, such amounts will
be  due  and  payable  by  Customer to Company in accordance with Section 4.(m).
     (d)     Bad  Debt Reserve:  Company  will  hold  back  or cause the LECs to
             -----------------
hold  back an amount estimated to be sufficient to set off any Bad Debt that may
be  determined  after  the  date  Company  makes  its  payment  to  Customer for
Customer's  Qualifying  Records  billed and collected by the LEG. Initially, any
Bad  Debt  Reserve  withheld  by  the  LEC  generally  will be passed through to
Customer  on  the  same percentage or the same amount as Company was assessed by
the  individual LECs. However, once sufficient data becomes available to Company
to  enable  Company  to  determine  a  specific Bad Debt history attributable to
Customer,  the  Bad Debt Reserve may be increased based on Customer's historical
Bad  Debt  Amounts,  Customer  Service,  adjustment  levels and other factors. A
schedule  setting forth the past twelve months' average Bad Debt Reserve by each
LEG  will  either  be  disclosed  or  made  available  to  Customer.
     (e)     Monthly  LEC  Bad  Debt  True-up:  Usually between six and eighteen
             --------------------------------
(6-18)  months  after  Company submits Customer's Qualifying Records to the LECs
for  billing  and  collection,  the  LECs  and Company will determine the actual
amount  of  Bad  Debt and true up the difference between this amount and the Bad
Debt Holdback Reserve. Company will provide Customer monthly reports on Bad Debt
True-ups  for  these  differences.  If the amount of these true-ups is positive,
Company will remit such amount to Customer on a regularly scheduled payment date
after  Company receives the true-up amount from the LECs. If the amount of these
true-ups  is  negative,  Company  will collect  such  amounts  from  Customer in
accordance  with  Section  4.(m).

             -----------------
own  policies  regarding  assessment of credits, fees and penalties for Customer
Service,  in  addition  to  those  covered  by  rules, regulations, laws and the
Coalition  Guidelines,  and  Customer agrees to be bound by such policies and to
pay  such  credits,  fees  and  penalties  in  accordance  with  Section  4.(m).
     (g)     Allocation Method:  Customer acknowledges that Company is unable to
             -----------------
fully  document  or match all Assessments to specific customers and that Company
will  use  an  allocation  method  for such Assessments to determine amounts due
under  this  Agreement  when  Customer-specific  information  is  not matched or
available  from  the  LECs.

     rejected  by the LECs,  through no fault of Company,  and Records  that are

     (b)     Reserves and True-ups for Short-term Dilution. Company will reserve
             ---------------------------------------------
an amount for Short-term Dilution based upon Customer's prior history pertaining
to  Short-term  Dilution and the regulatory environment. Company may recalculate
Customer's historical experience quarterly from its prior three months' results.
Until  such history can be determined for Customer, Company will reserve one and
one-half  percent (1.5%) from the amount due to Customer. Company may adjust the
reserve  and  Company  then  will  return excess amounts to Customer or withhold
additional  amounts  as  may  be  required to satisfy these liabilities from the
amounts  due  to  Customer.
     (c)     Collateral.     As  collateral  for all obligations now existing or

             --------------------------
the estimated amount collected by each LEC for Customer's Qualifying Records and
deduct all assigned and allocated Assessments and Taxes of the LECs and Company.
If  the amount due Customer is not sufficient to satisfy these Assessments, then
Customer  will  pay  the difference to Company in accordance with Section 4.(m).
     (b)     Payment  Schedules:    Company  will  advance  to  Customer  the
             ------------------
estimated  amount  determined  under  paragraph  8.(a) above under the following
schedule:  Fifty  percent  (50%)  of  the amount determined on the first Tuesday
after the sixtieth (60~') day from the date Company receives Customer's Records;
fifty  percent  (50%)  of  the remaining balance of the amount determined on the
first  Tuesday  after  the  ninetieth  (90~") day from the date Company receives
Customer's  Records;  and  the remaining balance of the amounts so determined on
the  first  Tuesday  after  the  one hundred twentieth (l20~") day from the date
Company  receives  Customer's  Records;  provided, however, that if Customer has

substantially  all  of  Customer's assets; fails to make any deposit required by
paragraph 13.(b); undergoes a change of control or executive management; submits
Records,  the dollar value of which does not exceed estimated Assessments; or if
Company has reasonable grounds to believe that Assessments may exceed any amount
owing or to become owing from Company to Customer, Company may withhold payments
to  Customer or Company may make payments to Customer in accordance with Section
13.(b).  If  the  amount  owing  to Customer is determined to be insufficient to
satisfy  these  Assessments, then Customer will pay the difference to Company in

that  it  is  responsible  for compliance with all taxing requirements. Customer
will promptly notify Company of any tax or any other tax-like surcharges and the
associated  rates  that apply to Customer's Records in any specific jurisdiction
and  indicate  such  on  each Record submitted to Company. Either Company or the
LEGs will use reasonable efforts to assist Customer in calculating the following
taxes  that  may  be  applicable to MTS calls: federal excise tax, any state and
local  sales  taxes,  gross receipts tax or tax-like charges, foreign intrastate
tax,  any state or federal universal service taxes or assessments, and any other
standard toll communications sales or use taxes (" Taxes"). Any error by Company
or the LECs in calculating the applicable Taxes will not relieve Customer or End
Users  of  their  responsibility  to  pay  all  applicable  Taxes.
     (b)     Billing  and  Collection  of  Taxes:  Company  will  use reasonable
             -----------------------------------
efforts to cause the LECs to bill End Users for all Taxes when Customer provides
taxing  information.  Customer acknowledges that Company is merely arranging for
the billing and collection of Taxes, and in no event will Company be entitled to
retain  or  receive  from  Customer,  or from any End User, any statutory fee or
share  of  Taxes  to  which the person collecting the same may be entitled under
applicable  law  to  the  extent  permitted  by  law.
     (c)     Tax  Exempt  Status for End Users: Company will have the authority,
             ---------------------------------
on  behalf  of  Customer, to authorize the LECs to calculate Taxes and establish
the  tax  exempt  status  of  End Users in the same manner as the LECs calculate
Taxes  and  establish such status for their End Users. If Customer's Records are
exempt  from Taxes or tax-like charges, Customer will so indicate on each Record
submitted  to  Company.
     (d)     Filing  and  Payment of Taxes: Based upon information calculated by
             -----------------------------
Company  or  received  from  the LECs with respect to Taxes assessed, billed and
collected  by the LECs, Company will assist Customer in preparing and will file,
on  behalf  of  Customer where permitted, with the applicable taxing authorities
returns  covering Taxes, and will, on behalf of Customer, but only to the extent
of  amounts  otherwise owing from Company to Customer, advance and remit to such
taxing authorities all Taxes owed thereto. Customer acknowledges that Company is
required  by  some  states  to  provide an affidavit, executed by Customer, that
allows  Company  to  file  and  remit the applicable taxes on Customer's behalf;
therefore,  Customer  will  return the "Authorization to Act as Customer's Agent
for  Certain  Tax  Matters" form to Company upon Company's Request. Upon written
request,  Company will provide to Customer copies of any and all tax returns and
other  applicable information relating to the payment of Taxes by Company within

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

Taxes,  assessed  against Company based on the revenues collected by Company for
Customer's  Qualifying  Records  ("Billed  Taxes").
     (g)     Calculation  of  Special  Taxes:
             -------------------------------

all  Records,  prior  to  submission,  those  Taxes  specifically  applicable to
Customer's  Enhanced Telecommunications Services ("ETS") other than the standard
communications  taxes  described  in Section 9.(a) herein ("Special ETS Taxes").
     (h)     Filing  and  Payment  of  Special  ETS
             --------------------------------------
Taxes:  Customer  will  prepare, file and pay in a timely manner all Special ETS
Taxes  due  and owing to the applicable taxing authorities. At Company's written
request,  Customer  will  provide Company with copies of any and all tax returns
and  other  applicable  information relating to the calculation, application and
payment  of  Special  ETS  Taxes.
