                                  3. MARKETING

         3.1 OBLIGATION TO MARKET AND PROMOTE.

              3.1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, LecStar hereby
designates and appoints Marketer, for the Term, as its Affiliates' non-exclusive
sales representative with respect to the Service(s) and Product Package(s), and
Marketer hereby accepts such designation and appointment. Marketer shall not
obligate or bind LecStar or any Affiliates in any manner whatsoever nor
represent to third parties that it may enter into any binding obligation on
behalf of LecStar or any Affiliates, without the prior express written consent
of LecStar or such Affiliates.

              3.1.2 For the Term, Marketer shall exercise commercially
reasonable efforts to market and promote the Service(s) and Product Package(s)
to consumers throughout the Territory (including without limitation Marketer's

terms and conditions of this Agreement including the marketing activities
described in Schedule 3.1.2. Marketer shall not engage in fraud, dishonesty,
gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties
hereunder.

         3.2 AMENDMENTS TO EXHIBIT "A".

              3.2.1 Service(s) or Product Package(s) may be added to Exhibit "A"
upon the mutual agreement of the Parties. Upon such agreement, LecStar shall
deliver to Marketer a new Exhibit "A" indicating (i) such additional Service(s)
or Product Package(s), (ii) the Rates and Marketer Revenue Percentages
therefore, and (iii) other information therefore indicated on Exhibit "A".

              3.2.2 Service(s) or Product Package(s) may be deleted from Exhibit
"A" upon the mutual agreement of the Parties. In addition, LecStar may at any
time and from time to time during the Term, delete Service(s) or Product
Package(s) from Exhibit "A" upon ninety (90) days' written notice to Marketer;
provided, however, anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding,
LecStar may delete any Service(s) or Product Package(s), with such deletion
effective immediately, in the event of an Adverse Regulatory Determination
affecting such Service(s) or Product Package(s); provided further however, all
Customers accepted by LecStar and subsequently installed prior to the expiration
of the old Service(s) or Product Package(s) will be provided such Service(s)
under the old Package(s) unless such customer chooses to change to a new plan.
Upon any deletion of Service(s) or Product Package(s) from Exhibit "A", LecStar
shall deliver to Marketer a new Exhibit "A" reflecting such deletion.

              3.2.3 Rates for specific Service(s) or Product Package(s) set
forth upon Exhibit "A" may be modified upon the mutual agreement of the Parties;
provided, however, that LecStar may modify any Rates upon ten (10) days written
notice to Marketer in the event of any determination by any Regulatory Authority
that directly affects any rates, terms or conditions set forth in any
applicable, then-effective tariff or Service Policies; provided further that, in
the event of a conflict between any Rates and a rate set forth in any
applicable, then-effective tariffs, the rate set forth in


                                       5
<PAGE>   11
such tariffs shall control, and Exhibit "A" shall be deemed automatically
amended to reflect such rates. Upon any modification of any Rate set forth on
Exhibit "A", LecStar shall deliver to Marketer a new Exhibit "A" reflecting such
modification. All customers accepted by LecStar prior to the rate modification
will be billed under the prior rate to the extent permitted by law; provided,
however customers opting for new service plans are exempt from this provision.

         3.3 AMENDMENTS TO EXHIBIT "B". The Territory may be amended only upon
the mutual Agreement of the parties; provided, however, that LecStar may amend
the Territory to delete from Exhibit "B" any geographic area(s) in the event of
an Adverse Regulatory Determination affecting LecStar's or any Affiliate's
provision of any Service(s) in such geographic area(s), with such deletion
effective immediately. In the event of any amendment to Exhibit "B" hereunder,
LecStar shall deliver to Marketer a new Exhibit "B" reflecting such amendment.

         3.4 MARKETING MATERIALS. During the Term, the Parties shall create or
cooperate in the creation of, or either Party may deliver to the other Party,
certain news releases, publicity or marketing and promotional materials which
describe Marketer, LecStar, any Affiliate, or any Service(s) or Product
Package(s) (collectively "Marketing Materials"). In connection therewith, each
Party grants to the other Party a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to (i)
distribute such Marketing Materials to third parties, and (ii) use the
trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and symbols used in such
Marketing Materials to denote the other Party or any product or service of the
other Party (each a "Mark" and collectively the "Marks") as reasonably necessary
to perform such Party's obligations under this Agreement and only in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. The Parties shall use the other Party's Marks
only in accordance with such Party's or Affiliates' (as the case may be)
then-current use policies for the Marks ("Use Policy"), which shall be made
available upon request; provided, however, any provision of the Use Policy to
the contrary notwithstanding, the license granted in this Section 3.4 shall not
entitle either Party to make any use, and the Parties shall make no use, of the
Marks which is disparaging to either Party or to any Affiliate or is likely to
cause confusion as to the source or sponsorship of any Service(s) or Product
Package(s), the source or sponsorship of any other products or services, or the
existence of any relationship, sponsorship, affiliation or association between
LecStar or any Affiliate and any third party. All Marketing Materials must be
approved in writing by both Parties prior to distribution to third parties. Both
Parties shall have the right, immediately and without notice, to suspend or
revoke the licenses granted under this Section 3.4 upon any breach of this
Agreement by the other Party. Marketer shall provide written notice, in all
Marketing Materials that "Telecommunications services are provided by LecStar."

         3.5 INCONSISTENT REPRESENTATIONS. Marketer shall provide a means for
consumers to contact Marketer by telephone during Marketer's regular business
hours for purposes of inquiries related to any Service(s) or Product Package(s),
and Marketer shall respond to such inquiries in a timely and accurate manner.
Marketer shall ensure that no employee or agent of Marketer, or of any of
Marketer's affiliates or subsidiaries, with respect of any third party, (i)
makes any representation or warranty regarding LecStar, any Affiliates, or any
Service(s) or Product Package(s), whether verbal, written or otherwise, which is
false or inconsistent (a) with LecStar's or any Affiliates most current
technical documentation or Marketing Materials, or (b) with respect to Regulated
Service(s), with any tariff, price sheet or other document then in effect and of
record with any Regulatory Authority; or (ii) fails to provide information which
Marketer or Marketer's affiliates or subsidiaries reasonably know the omission
of which is likely to create an impression inconsistent (a) with


                                       6
<PAGE>   12
LecStar's or any Affiliate's most current technical documentation or Marketing
Materials, or (b) with respect to Regulated Service(s), with any tariff, price
sheet or other document then in effect and of record with a Regulatory Authority
(each of (i) and (ii) above an "Inconsistent Representation"). Marketer shall
defend, indemnify and hold LecStar and all affiliates harmless from and against
any claim, judgment, loss, damage or harm (including without limitation
reasonable attorneys' fees) arising directly or indirectly from or in connection
with an Inconsistent Representation.

              3.5.1 During the Term, Marketer shall not, and shall cause its
parent, subsidiaries and entities under common control with Marketer to not,
market to consumers within the Territory the products or services of any other
telecommunications carrier.

              3.5.2 During the Term, Marketer shall not, and shall cause its
subsidiaries and entities under common control with Marketer to not, directly or
indirectly (i) offer, market or provide any competitive local exchange services
in the State of Georgia, or (ii) become certificated with any Regulated
Authority as a competitive local exchange carrier.


              3.5.3 In the event that LecStar or an Affiliate receives an offer
or proposal from any Electric Membership Corporation (as defined in O.C.G.A.
Section 46-3-3(2) in the State of Georgia (an "EMC"), pursuant to which LecStar
or an affiliate would provide Service(s) or Product packages(s) to such EMC's
customers, then prior to accepting such offer or proposal, LecStar shall first
provide Marketer with written notice thereof and fourteen (14) days in which to
provide LecStar (or such Affiliate) with marketer's competitive proposal
incorporating terms and conditions no less favorable to LecStar than those
