under the terms of SER's standard Software License Agreement.

$250,000 ("Initial Deposit") by wire transfer, of which no less than $100,000

Settlement Agreement, and Epixtar's compliance with the other terms of this
Settlement Agreement, SER will forgive $353,000 (50%) of the Debt Due to SER.

         9. In the event Epixtar agrees to replace all of its current outbound
dialer systems that are manufactured by any company other than SER, and agrees

remaining $353,000 of the Debt Due to SER; provided Epixtar issues a press
release no later than June 30, 2005, announcing that it has standardized on SER

year initial term under the following prices: (i) three (3) year term - $435.75
per seat; or (ii) five (5) year term - $379.00 per seat.

         11. Upon completion of the Conditions, SER will withdraw its Complaint
in the Litigation and will cease all attempts to collect any unpaid portion of
the Judgment; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of
this Settlement Agreement, in the event Epixtar breaches any term of this
Settlement Agreement or defaults on any payment obligation to SER contemplated

Settlement Agreement null and void ab initio, and may resume any and all efforts

Judgment. Additionally, Epixtar agrees that it on or before June 30, 2005, it
