     THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective as of January 12, 1998,
by and between Brite Voice Systems, Inc. ("Company") and Stanley G. Brannan
("Brannan").

     WHEREAS, Brannan is currently a full-time employee of the Company serving
in the capacity of Chairman of the Board; and

     WHEREAS, Brannan has indicated his intention to resign his employment with
the Company for personal reasons; and

     WHEREAS, the Company wishes to retain Brannan for the performance of

     WHEREAS, the Company and Brannan desire to document the terms and
conditions of their agreement with respect to the foregoing.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual
covenants and benefits herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:

          Chairman of the Board shall terminate on January 12,  1998.

     2.   SEVERANCE; RELOCATION EXPENSE.  The Company shall pay Brannan the sum
          of $105,000 as severance, which amount, less applicable and required
          holdings, shall be paid on or before January 23, 1998.  In addition,
          the Company shall reimburse Brannan in an amount not to exceed $10,000
          for the costs of relocating his furniture, automobiles and other
          property from his home in Orlando, Florida to Wichita, Kansas, upon
          presentation of invoices for such costs.

     3.   RELEASE.  Except for the obligations specifically assumed by the

          employment or termination of his employment with the Company, and this
          Agreement constitutes settlement in full thereof.

     4.   HEALTH INSURANCE.  The Company agrees to use its commercially
          reasonable efforts to cause participation in any group health
          insurance plan made available to the Company's employees to be made
          available to Brannan during the period that he serves as a director of
          the Company.  If Brannan elects to participate in the Company's group
          health insurance plan he shall pay that portion of each health
          insurance premium as shall be required of other participants under the
          plan.

     5.   CONSULTING SERVICES.

          (a)  GENERAL.   The Company hereby contracts to engage the

          the Company, to render consulting services to the Company to
          assist the Company in its efforts to develop new business
          concepts which expand and complement the Company's existing
          business.  Any proposal developed by Brannan during the term
          hereof  shall be presented to the Company by written memorandum
          delivered to the President of the Company.  Any business
          development shall be subject to the Company's acceptance and
          approval, in the Company's sole discretion, and Brannan shall
          have no authority to contract for or to bind the Company to any
          agreement or obligation.

          (b)  TERM.  The term of this Agreement shall begin on the
          effective date hereof and shall continue until July 1, 1998.

          (c)  COMPENSATION.  As compensation for the consulting services
          rendered to the Company, Brannan shall be paid the sum of
          $50,000, which shall be paid in equal amounts on the last day of
          each month during the term hereof.

          (d)  EXTENT OF SERVICES; USE OF COMPANY FACILITIES. Brannan shall
          render services hereunder at the times and in the manner Brannan
          believes are necessary and appropriate in order to accomplish the
          purpose of this Agreement.  For the performance of services
          hereunder, Brannan shall be entitled to the use of the office
          currently occupied by him at the Company's facility at 7309 East
          21st, Wichita, Kansas, and shall be provided telephone,
          facsimile, secretarial and administrative support as may be
          reasonably required; provided, however, that Brannan shall not
          request the support or assistance of any non-clerical employee of
          the Company without the prior written approval of the President
          of the Company.

          (e)  EXPENSES.  The Company shall reimburse Brannan for all
          direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Brannan in providing
          consulting services hereunder, provided that expenses reasonably
          anticipated to exceed $100.00 per day (such as travel, meals or
          lodging) shall be authorized in advance by the President of the
          Company.


                                          2

          (f)  DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION.   Brannan acknowledges that, as a
          result of his services hereunder, and as a result of his prior
          position with the Company, he has and will be making use of,
          acquiring and/or adding to confidential information, trade
          secrets and know-how of a special and unique nature and value
          relating to certain aspects of the Company's business and such
          matters as the Company's assets, business prospects, confidential
          reports and lists of customers, as well as the nature and type of
          services rendered by the Company.  As a material inducement to
          the Company to enter into this Agreement and to pay to Brannan
          the compensation provided for herein, Brannan covenants and
          agrees that he shall not, at any time during or following the
          term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, divulge or
          disclose, for any purpose whatsoever, any such confidential
          information, trade secrets or know-how which he now possesses or
          obtains pursuant to his services hereunder.  In the event of a
          breach or threatened breach by Brannan of any of the provisions
          of this Section 6, the Company, in addition to and not in
          limitation of any other rights, remedies or damages available to
          the Company, at law or in equity, shall be entitled to a
          permanent injunction in order to prevent or restrain any such
          breach by Brannan or by Brannan's partners, agents,
          representatives, servants, employers, employees and/or any and
          all persons directly or indirectly acting for or with him.

          (g)  DEATH OR DISABILITY.  If Brannan should die or become
          disabled so that he cannot perform his duties hereunder during
          the term of this Agreement, the obligations of the Company shall
          continue hereunder, and the payments described in paragraph (c)
          hereof shall be made to Brannan or his estate.

          (h)  INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.  Notwithstanding anything herein
          contained to the contrary, it is the purpose and intent hereof to
          establish between the Company and Brannan a relationship of an
          independent contractor, and all liabilities between the parties
          shall be construed by application of the law of independent
          contractor and not that of principal and agent. Brannan is not an
          employee of the Company for any purpose and the Company is
          interested only in the results obtained by Brannan. Brannan does
          not have, nor shall Brannan hold himself out as having, any
          right, power or authority to create any contract or obligation,
          either express or implied, on behalf of, in the name of, or
          binding upon the Company, unless the Company's authorized
          representatives shall consent thereto in writing, it being the
          express intention of the parties that all such arrangements
          discussed or negotiated by Brannan shall be subject to the
          Company's final approval.


                                          3

          (i)  DELEGATION. Brannan acknowledges that the Company desires to
          obtain the benefit of Brannan's own personal efforts. Brannan is
          not entitled to delegate any of his duties under this Agreement
          or to appoint any sub-agent in the performance of this Agreement.

     6.   AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE.  Brannan covenants and agrees that, for a
          period of 18 months from the effective date of this Agreement,  he
          shall not in any manner compete with the Company with respect to any
          line of business conducted by the Company either as of the date of
          this Agreement or during the term of the consulting period provided
          for in Section 5 hereof.

          This Agreement shall prevent Brannan, directly or indirectly, on
          Brannan's own behalf or as an employee, officer, agent, director,
          partner, consultant, lender, or advisor, during the period covered by
          this Agreement, from forming, owning, joining, controlling, financing,
          or otherwise participating in the ownership or management of, or being
          otherwise affiliated with, any person or entity engaged in the type of
          business prohibited by this Agreement.  During the period covered by
          this Section 6, Brannan shall not permit any person or entity (other
          than the Company) of which Brannan is a shareholder or partner or in
          which Brannan has an ownership interest, to engage in any type of
          business prohibited by this Section 6.  Notwithstanding any other
          provision herein, the parties agree that Brannan may, during the
          period covered by Section 6, invest Brannan's personal, private assets
          as a passive investor in not more than one percent (1%) of the total
          outstanding shares of any publicly traded company engaged in a
          competing business, so long as Brannan does not participate in the
          management or operations of the affairs of such company.

          Brannan has carefully read and considered the provisions of this
          Section 6 and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth
          herein, including, but not limited to, the time period of the
          restriction and the scope of the restriction, are fair and reasonable
          and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of the
          Company.

          In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any part of the
          covenants set forth in this Section 6 shall be held to be invalid or
          unenforceable, the remaining parts thereof shall nevertheless continue
          to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable
          parts had not been included therein.  In the event that any provision
          of this Section 6 relating to the time period and/or scope of
          restrictions shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to
          exceed the maximum time period or area as such court deems reasonable
          and enforceable, said time period and/or areas of restrictions shall
          be deemed to become and thereafter be the maximum time period and/or
          scope which such court deems reasonable and enforceable.


                                          4

          Any provision hereof otherwise prohibited by or unenforceable under
          any applicable law or public policy in any jurisdiction which cannot
          be reformed in accordance with the provisions herein, shall, as to
          such jurisdiction, be ineffective without affecting any other
          provision of this Agreement, or shall be deemed to be severed or
          otherwise modified to conform with such law or public policy; and the
          remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in force, provided
          that the purpose of this Agreement can be effected.  To the full
          extent, however, that the provisions of such applicable law or public
          policy may be waived, this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver
          thereof.  The parties hereto understand and agree that all the
          covenants set forth herein are and shall be separately enforceable,
          each to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

          If it should become desirable or necessary for the Company to seek
          compliance with this Section 6 by judicial proceedings, the period
          during which Brannan shall comply with its provisions shall extend to
          the first anniversary of the date of the final, nonappealable order
          requiring such compliance.

          It is agreed that the Company would be irreparably damaged by reason
          of any violation of the provisions of this Agreement, and that any
          remedy at law for a breach of the provisions of this Agreement would
          be inadequate.  Therefore, the Company shall be entitled to seek
          injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent
          jurisdiction against Brannan, Brannan's agents, employees, affiliates,
          partners, or other associates, for any breach or threatened breach of
          this Agreement, without the necessity of proving actual monetary loss.
          It is expressly understood that the remedy described herein shall not
          be the exclusive remedy of the Company for any breach of this
          Agreement, and the Company shall be entitled to seek such other relief
          or remedy at law or in equity to which it may be entitled as a
          consequence of any breach of this Agreement.

     7.   NOTICE.  Any notice permitted or required by the provisions of this
          Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given
          when personally delivered, when delivered by recognized overnight
          courier or, whether or not actually received, three business days
          after being deposited in the United States mail by registered or
