1.   Telco  Outclearing  (425001  Billing  Transactions)
     ---------------------------------------------------

     Gross Billable Dollars Per Month               Percent of Billing Dollars
     --------------------------------               --------------------------
     ALL  VOLUMES                                   6.50% Plus Telco Fees

     Each month,  IGT shall receive a Telco Clearing fee equal to the greater of
     the billable  dollars  multiplied  by the above  billing  percentage or the
     Billable Transactions  deposited times a $0.81 minimum transaction fee, but
     in no  event  shall  the  Telco  Outclearing  fee be less  than  the  Telco
     Outclearing Minimum Fee.


2.   Telco Outclearing Minimum Fee:      $5,000.00 per month for Client ID #258.
     ------------------------------

     During the remaining Term of this Agreement,  if Customer's aggregate Telco
     Outclearing  Minimum  Fee  paid  to  IGT  exceeds  sixty  thousand  dollars
     ($60,000) on Customer's  Account #258, then Customer shall not be liable to
     IGT for Telco Outclearing Minimum Fees on said Account for the remainder of
     the Term. For purposes of illustration only, if Customer has paid IGT sixty
     thousand  dollars  ($60,000) in Telco  Outclearing fees on its Account #258
     through the first nine (9) months of the remaining  Term,  and in the tenth
     month incurs three thousand  dollars ($3,000) in Telco  Outclearing Fees on
     said Account,  then Customer shall not be obligated to remit to IGT the two
     thousand dollar ($2,000)  difference between the Telco Outclearing  Minimum
     Fee and the Telco  Outclearing  fee.  The  Telco  Outclearing  Minimum  Fee
     limitation  provided  in this  paragraph  shall  not be  applicable  to any
     additional Account(s) ordered by Customer.

     Customer's  Telco  Outclearing  Minimum  Fee  shall  be in  effect  for the
     September, 2000 deposit month.

3.   Subscriber Inquiry Services Fees:        $3.50 per each live agent inquiry.
     --------------------------------

     If the Customer,  subject to terms in this Agreement,  and upon IGT written
     approval, provides its own End-User inquiry service in lieu of IGT provided
     Subscriber  Inquiry Services,  IGT shall i) refer End-User phone inquiry to
     Customer for $1.00 per automated  (no agent)  referred  inquiry,  ii) refer
     End-User  phone  inquiry  to  Customer  for $2.00 per live  agent  referred
     inquiry and iii) process  Customer  generated  adjustments (41 records) for
     fifty cents  ($0.50) per  adjustment.  Customer  shall be  responsible  for
     generation of adjustment vouchers in Telcos that do not accept 41 records.

     Customer must adhere to the following  call handling  guidelines:  Customer
     must provide  toll-free access to its call center.  IGT will route calls to
     this  toll-free  number.   Customer  must  complete  the  Referral  Inquiry
     Worksheet.  Hours of  operation  must be 8-5 for all time  zones  where its
     customers  reside.  Calls cannot be muted to  voicemail;  a live agent must
     answer the call. Calls should ---- have an average speed of answer of <= 45
     seconds.  Call  abandon rate <= 5%. IGT  monitors  the  performance  of its
     Referral  Inquiry  Customers.  IGT will notify Customer  through any metric
     that is not being met as a result of the monitoring.

     IGT,  in its sole  discretion,  may  resume  providing  inquiry  upon prior
     written notice and at the prices contained herein.

     End-Users  residing in an area where IGT has no Billing  Contract  with the
     Telco  servicing  such area,  will be rejected  and returned to Customer as

     deleting Telcos.  IGT shall notify Customer in writing  reasonably promptly

     Customer that have passed 101's edit  process.  In addition IGT may provide

     communicated  basis.  Customer shall be responsible for on-net coverage and
     updates  from IGT's  bulletin  board by dialing the  current  TOT  provided

     certain  transactions  even  though such  transactions  passed the IGT edit
     process.  After  receipt  of notice  from the Telco  that  certain  Billing
     Transactions  are  Unbillable  or have been  rejected by the  Telco's  edit
     process,  IGT may take  steps to  correct  the  problem  and  resubmit  the
     rejected Billing Transactions to the Telcos if IGT, in its sole discretion,

     corrections.  Transactions  rejected and  returned to IGT in an  electronic
     format by the Telco which IGT  determines  not to resubmit will be returned
     to Customer,  IGT shall have no further  responsibility  for such  rejected

     the Billing Contracts with Telcos, IGT shall collect funds  from the Telcos
     with respect to the Billing Transactions;

8.   TELCO  DEDUCTIONS.
     -----------------

     Telcos  may  withhold  from the gross  billed  dollars in  relation  to the
     Billing Transactions submitted by IGT the following fees and charges:

     (a) Telco  Holdback.  With  respect  to  Customer's  Billing  Transactions,
         ---------------
     Customer acknowledges and agrees that there may be withheld from sums owing
     Customer a reserve for Uncollectibles that may be experienced by the Telcos
     many months after the settlement of the sums for the Billing  Transactions.
     The percentage rate for such Holdback is determined by either

          (i)  The current  Telco  Reserve  Rate which is subject to  unilateral
               change without notice;

          (ii) IGT based on analysis of Telco supplied account  write-off detail
               as applicable to Customer's specific End-User accounts; or

          (iii)An  initial  start  rate of ten  percent  (10%) for those  Telcos
               capable  of  providing   account   write-off   detail  for  which
               Customer's specific history has not yet been established.

     IGT shall  exercise  reasonable  efforts  to report  to  Customer  in IGT's
     standard  transaction  reports current Telco Holdback  rates.  From time to
     time,  the Telcos will conduct a Telco True-up for a particular  period and
     may subsequently  revise the Reserve Rate as well as collect from or refund
     to JOT any  difference  between the amounts  withheld by the Telcos and the
     actual Uncollectibles.  As each Telco performs its True-Up and includes its
     results on Telco payment  summaries to IGT, IGT will, as soon as reasonably
     possible, True-Up Customer's account(s). If the Telco has supplied IGT with
     sufficient   write-off   detail  to   fairly   and   accurately   attribute
     Uncollectibles  to  Customer,  then  Customer's  share shall be based on an
     analysis of such write-off  detail,  otherwise,  Customer's  share shall be
     based on Customer's  specific  experience in other Telcos combined with the
     Customer's pro-rata  contribution to the period being Trued-up.  IGT shall,
     as soon as  reasonably  possible,  include these results on the current lOT
     True-Up summary to Customer. Customer hereby agrees that any amount owed to
     JOT by Customer as a result of this  True-Up  process  shall be offset from
     Customer's  payment  summary.  If  any  of  Customer's   account(s)  is/are
     negative,  IGT shall offset the amount due from the next  Customer  payment
     summaries or, at IGT's sole option,  IGT shall invoice  Customer.  Customer
     shall pay the  invoiced  amount  in full  within  fifteen  (16) days of the
     invoice date.  Any amounts due Customer may be held in accordance  with the
     IGT Reserve.
     (b) Unbillables. Telcos may reject Billing Transactions or apply Unbillable
         -----------
     charges for Billing Transactions that do not pass their edit process. Telco
     rejected Billing Transactions applicable to Customer and returned to IGT by
     the Telco shall be returned to Customer Within  seven (7) business  days of
     receipt by IGT from the Telco.


Billing  Services  Agreement

<PAGE>
     (c) Adjustments. Telcos may deduct from the funds paid to IGT the amount of
         -----------
     any Adjustments that are made by the Telcos and IGT. Customer  acknowledges
     that: (I)  Adjustments  may be performed by a Telco before and/or after any
     Customer-specific  funds  are  paid to IGT by the  Telcos,  and  (ii)  some
     Adjustments  may  not  be   Customer-specific   (i.e.,  cannot  be  related
     specifically  to the  Billing  Transactions  of the  Customer).  Adjustment
     information available to IGT shall be provided to Customer.

9.   TAXES.  Absent  Customer  providing  IGT  the  appropriate  tax  exception
     -----
certificates  required  by  the  applicable  jurisdictions,  Customer  shall  be
responsible  for any Taxes associated with this Agreement. Customer acknowledges
that:  1)  with  respect  to Taxes arising from Customer's Billing Transactions,
certain  Telcos remit Taxes directly to the appropriate taxing authority, and 2)
certain other Telcos return Taxes to IGT with instructions for remittance of the
Taxes  by IGT. IGT shall not be responsible for the Telco's tax determination or
the  Telco's  failure to remit Taxes. IGT shall use reasonable efforts to assist
Customer  in resolving Tax disputes. Customer shall not be liable for IGT income
taxes.

10.  SERVICE  FEES  AND  OTHER  DEDUCTIONS.
     -------------------------------------

From amounts collected from Telco in respect to Customer's Billing Transactions,
IGT  shall  be  entitled  to  withhold  from  its disbursements to Customer, the

         --------
     pay, a fee relating to the gross  dollars  billed by IGT. IGT5 billing fees
     shall be as set forth in Exhibit E hereto.  IGT fees shall be assessed with
     respect  to  each  Billing  Transaction   submitted  to  a  Telco.  Billing
     Transactions  rejected by a Telco and resubmitted by IGT hall be subject to
     the IGT fee unless such  resubmitted  was  necessitated  by an error on the
     part of IGT. IGT's billing fees shall include  billing and collection  fees
     imposed  by the  Telco's.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  IGT  shall  be
     entitled to a minimum fee from Customer, as provided in Exhibit E, for each
     separate Account Number  established by Customer,  regardless of the number
     of Billing  Transactions  submitted  to the  Telco's in such month for such
     account. After the initial term of this Agreement,  IGT may adjust its fees
     on sixty (60) days prior  written  notice to Customer,  provided,  however,
     that  said  adjustment  shall  not  exceed  ten  percent  (10%)  per  year.
     (b) Subscriber inquiry Service Fees. IGT shall receive a Subscriber Inquiry
         -------------------------------
     Service fee for  performance  of  Subscriber  Inquiry  Services on End-User
     phone and written  Inquiry.  IGT's fees shall be as set forth in Exhibit E.
     The fee for written  inquiry from End-Users is $50.00 per inquiry.  The fee
     for written inquiry from  governmental or other  regulatory  authorities is
     $150.00 per inquiry.  IGT shall  invoice  Customer for  Subscriber  inquiry
     Services,  and Customer  shall pay the invoice  within ten (10) days of the
     date of the  invoice.  If  Customer  does not pay the  invoice  within  the
     prescribed time, IGT may offset Subscriber Inquiry

     Services fees from Customer disbursements. IGT may adjust its fees on sixty
     (60) days prior written  notice to Customer  provided,  however,  that said
     adjustment shall not exceed ten percent (10%) per year.
     (c) IGT Reserve. IGT shall withhold from sums that would otherwise be owing
         -----------
     with respect to Customer's Billing  Transactions such sums as are necessary

     established  under this  Agreement  will  initially be  established  at ten
     percent (10%) of gross billed dollars,  by Account Number, for each deposit
     of Billing  Transactions made by Customer,  and the IGT Reserve will adjust

     insufficient  to cover  Uncollectibles,  IGT  shall be  responsible  to the
     Telcos for any  shortfall,  which shall be paid out of the IGT Reserve,  if
     available. If the IGT Reserve is not sufficient then, at the option of IGT,
     the needed amount may be invoiced to Customer  (payable within fifteen (15)
     days) or otherwise deducted from Customer's funds.

     (d) Legal Process  Expenses.  If IGT is served with legal  process  arising
         -----------------------
     from IGT's service to Customer and/or  Customer's  service to End-Users and
     IGT is not a party to the  action,  then IGT may  assess  Customer  for its
     reasonable  time and expenses  incurred in responding to said process.  IGT
     shall invoice  Customer,  and Customer  shall pay the invoice within thirty
     (30) days of the date of the invoice.  If Customer fails to pay the invoice

     collected  the prior week to which  Customer  is entitled  hereunder.  Such

     insufficient to cover Customer's share of the Uncollectibles, then IGT may,
     at its option, deduct any shortfall from subsequent payments to Customer or
     invoice  Customer  for the amount  owing.  Customer  agrees to pay any such
     amount invoiced within fifteen (15) days after receipt of invoice. Customer

27.  DISPUTE  RESOLUTION  AND  ARBITRATION:
     -------------------------------------

Except for an action seeking a temporary restraining order or injunction related
to  the  purposes  of  this  Agreement, or a suit to compel compliance with this
dispute  resolution  process,  the  parties  shall use the following alternative
dispute  resolution  procedures  as their sole remedy with respect to any claim,
dispute,  or  other  controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
its  breach.

     (a) Dispute Resolution. At the written request of a party, each party shall
         ------------------
     appoint an officer or employee representative to meet and negotiate in good
     faith and attempt  resolve any dispute  arising under this  Agreement.  The
     location, format, frequency,  duration? and conclusion of these discussions
     shall be left to the discretion of the representatives. Upon agreement, the
     representative may utilize other alternative dispute resolution  procedures
     such  as  mediation  to  assist  in  the   negotiations.   Discussions  and
     correspondence among the representatives for purposes of these negotiations
     shall be treated as  confidential  information  developed  for  purposes of
     settlement,  exempt  from  discovery  and  production,  which  shall not be
     admissible in the  arbitration  described  below or in many lawsuit without
     the  concurrence of the parties.  Documents  identified in or provided with
     such   communications,   which  are  not   prepared  for  purposes  of  the
     negotiations,  are not so exempted  and may, if  otherwise  admissible,  be
     admitted in evidence in the arbitration or lawsuit.

     (b)  Arbitration.  If the  negotiations  do not resolve the dispute  within
          -----------
     sixty (60) calendar days of the initial written request,  the dispute shall
     be submitted 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.  Discovery  shall be controlled by the arbitrator and shall
     be permitted to the extent set out in this section. The arbitration hearing
     shall be  commenced  within  sixty  (60)  calendar  days of the  demand for
     arbitration.  The  arbitration  shall be held in San Jose  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  dispute  by  issuing  a written  opinion  within  thirty  (30)
     calendar days after the close of the hearings.  The times specified in this
     section may be  extended  upon  mutual  agreement  of the parties or by the
     arbitrator  upon a showing of good cause.  Judgment upon the award rendered
     by the  arbitrator  may be entered in any court having  jurisdiction.  Each
     party  shall  bear  its own  costs  of these  procedures.  A party  seeking
     discovery shall  reimburse the responding  party the costs of production of
     documents (including search time and reproduction costs). The parties shall
     equally split the fees of the arbitration and the arbitrator.

28.  GENERAL  PROVISIONS.
     -------------------

     (a) Attorney's Fees. IN the event of any dispute, claim or legal proceeding
         ---------------
     (arbitrations  excepted as provided  herein)  arising out of or relating to

     reimbursement from the other(s) of all reasonable attorney's fees and costs
     incurred in connections therewith.
     (b) Collection Fees. In the event that IGT must hire a collection agency or
         ---------------

     Customer shall be responsible  for all such  collection fees and will remit
     payment  to  IGT  within  fifteen  (15)  days  of  receipt  of  invoice.
     (c) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid
         ------------
     by any  court,  the  invalidity  of such  provision  shall not  affect  the
     validity of the remaining provisions hereof.

         --------
     reference  purposes  only and shall not  affect in any way the  meaning  or

     the  benefit  of  each  of  the  parties,  their  successors  and  assigns.
     (f) Amendments.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may be
         ----------
     amended or modified only by a written instrument  executed and delivered by
     all of the parties  hereto.  No waiver by either party of any breach by the
