Users of any of Customer's Clients. ACI has the right and authority to treat all
such records as if such records were submitted for processing by Customer on its
own behalf, irrespective of the source of such records, and such authority will
include, without limitation, the right to deduct any fees, charges, adjustments,
or expenses of ACI or any third party out of the proceeds of all such records.
Customer will be solely responsible for communicating with Clients regarding the
services hereunder relating to the records originating with Clients.

                         REMEDIES AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

5.1. REMEDIES OF ACI

         The parties specifically agree that any breach of this Agreement by
Customer, will be difficult to compensate in damages and would jeopardize the
ability of ACI to continue providing services to other customers. It is agreed,
therefore, that in the event of such breach of this Agreement, ACI shall be
entitled to seek and obtain injunctive or any other relief available in a court
having appropriate jurisdiction without further proof than as offered in this
paragraph, and that the sum, up to and not to exeed $10,000, shall be good and
sufficient bond for such relief. Notwithstanding the preceeding paragraph, ACI
may also elect any or all other remedies available to it, including but not
limited to damages, at law or in equity.

5.2. ARBITRATION

         a. For any controversy between the parties relating to this agreement,
the parties agree to submit such controversy 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.

         b. Discovery shall be controlled by the arbitrator and shall be
governed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The party seeking discovery
shall reimburse the responding party for the cost of the production of


                                       -3-
<PAGE>

documents, including search time and reproduction costs. The arbitration shall
be held in Los Angeles County, 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 controversy by issuing a
written opinion within thirty (30) calendar days after the close of the
arbitration hearing. The time frame specified in this Section 5.2(b) may be
extended upon mutual agreement of the parties or by the arbitrator upon a
showing of good cause.

         c. Except as provided in paragraph 5.2(b) above, each party shall bear
its own fees, costs and expenses of arbitration, including, but not limited to,
its own legal and expert witness fees. The parties shall equally split the fees
of the arbitration and the arbitrator. The arbitrator may award reimbursement of
costs and/or fees to the prevailing party.

         d. Any award rendered by the arbitrator will be final, conclusive, and
binding upon the parties, and any judgment thereon may be entered and enforced
in any court of competent jurisdiction.

         e. Other than those matters set forth in Section 5.1 or involving
injunctive relief as a remedy or any action necessary to enforce the award of
the Arbitrator, the parties agree that the provisions of this Section 5.2 are a
complete defense to any suit, action, or other proceeding instituted in any
court or before any administrative tribunal with respect to any dispute,
controversy, or claim arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the
provision of services by ACI. Nothing in this Section 5.2 will prevent the
parties from exercising their rights to terminate this Agreement in accordance
with the term of this Agreement.

7.1 CONFIDENTIALITY

         Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the parties
agree that all information communicated to it by the other party, whether before
or after the date of this agreement, will be designated confidential information
("Confidential Information"), and will be deemed to have been received in strict
confidence and will be used only for the purposes of carrying out the
obligations of, or as otherwise contemplated by, this Agreement. Without
obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, neither party will

provided, however, that this Section 7.1 will not prevent a party from
disclosing any such information that: (a) was already in the possession of such

becomes generally available to the public other than as a result, directly or
indirectly, of a disclosure of such Confidential information by such party or by

prompt notice of such requirement prior to any such disclosure; (g) is
reasonably requested by a Governmental Authority; (h) for purposes of Attachment
1 only, (i) is reasonably necessary to be disclosed in connection with a billing
inquiry by an End User, or (ii) for purposes of Attachment 1 only, is reasonably

7.2. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS

         All public announcements by either of the parties relating to this

         If any provision of this Agreement is declared judicially invalid,
unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or
voiding the remainder of this Agreement, it being the intent and agreement of
the parties that this Agreement will be deemed amended by modifying such
provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable
while preserving its intent. If such modification is not possible, another
provision that is legal and enforceable and that achieves the same objective
will be substituted. Notwithstanding the above, if any provision referred to in
this Article VIII is declared judicially to be invalid, unenforceable or void,
and the fact thereof, or any amendment or modification thereto materially
affects the payments to be made to ACI under this Agreement, then ACI may, at
its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement in its entirety.

                                       I.
                                   DEFINITIONS


All terms and phrases used within this Attachment shall be defined in accordance
with the everyday meaning used in the telecommunication industry unless such
term has been defined in this Agreement.

In addition, specified defined terms are as follows.

         1. Billable Call Detail Records - "BCDR" means records that: (i)
consist of telephone records to be billed to telephone numbers having valid area
code and exchange prefix numbers that (a) are listed on ACI's then current
On-Net File provided (to Customer), (b) have not been previously rejected by
ACI, (c) have not been previously billed by ACI or any other billing process,
and (d) are an acceptable call record-type to ACI, or; (ii) are other services
or products provided to End Users which have been approved for billing by ACI.

         2. End Users - "End User" means the ultimate customer of the telephone
information, or other services or products provided by Customer.

         3. LEC - "LEC" means any Bell Operating Company, independent local
exchange company, or provider of local telephone or other services that ACI is
able to provide billing and collection services.

                                       II.
                    BASIC LEC BILLING AND COLLECTION SERVICES

         The following describes the billing and collection services for LEC
billing, whether for 1+, 0+/-, SSM, or Enhanced Services (Schedule 1-A) that ACI
will provide to Customer.

2.1 ACI'S OUTCLEARING PROCESS

         a. Customer shall only submit BCDRs for billing. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, BCDRs that do not otherwise meet the terms of this Agreement shall
not be submitted to ACI nor will such BCDRs be accepted by ACI for billing.
BCDRs will be submitted in the format specified by ACI, which is subject to
change upon 30 days notice. Customer understands that testing may be required
prior to submission of records to ACI and that such testing is at Customer's
expense.

         b. ACI will subject Customer's records to various up-front edits,
balancing and formatting. Records failing to pass these edits, balancing or
formatting, referred to as "ACI Up-Front Rejects", will not be submitted to the
LECs, and shall be returned to the Customer Representative. (See Section 4.2(a)
of the main Agreement.)

         c. Within five (5) business days after ACI's receipt of the BCDRs from
Customer, ACI will submit records passing the Up-Front Edits to the appropriate
LEC for billing and collection.

         d. After ACI submits Customer's records to the LEC, the LEC subjects
the BCDRs to detail screening and editing tests called "LEC Up-Front Edits".
Records rejected by the LEC as a result of these edits are referred to as "LEC
Up-Front Rejects." Any of Customer's records returned as unbillable by a LEC are
referred to as "Returned Records", ACI will return such records to Customer.
Records passing the LEC Up-Front Edits are deemed correct and eligible for
billing by the LEC.


                                        1

<PAGE>

         e. Generally, sixty to seventy days after LECs acceptance of Customer's
BCDRs, the LEC will remit payment to ACI (the "Remittances"). Such monies are
deposited by all LECs for all customers into ACI's bank account.

         f. After receipt by ACI of the Remittances, ACI will deduct from the
Remittances all charges and fees specified in or as necessitated by this
Agreement, including without limitation any amounts due ACI from time to time,
such as:

            1.      ACI Fees and charges (Please see applicable schedules or
                    provisions);

            2.      ACI LEC Billing Fees (Please see applicable Schedule). Such
                    fees are subject to change;

            3.      ACI Reserves (Please see Article III below);

            4.      Unbillable records by the LECs, including those that failed
                    the LEC Up-Front Edit Process;

            5.      Credits or adjustments issued to End Users by the LEC or by
                    ACI;

            6.      Other charges or credits made by the LEC under its Agreement
                    with ACI, including but not limited to any fines or
                    penalties or assessments whatsoever billed to ACI by the LEC
                    attributable to Customer, which can be based on End User
                    complaints, regulatory complaints, any other act or omission
                    by Customer in violation of the LEC's contract with ACI.

         g. Upon completion of the deductions described above, ACI shall
disburse the remainder of the funds to its customers (such disbursements to
Customer or the appropriate Client are referred to herein as the
"Disbursements"). If requested in writing by Customer, ACI will make
Disbursements to Customer or appropriate Client by wire or electronic funds
transfer to the bank or other depository designated in writing by Customer.
Customer shall be responsible for all wire and related charges.

         h. With respect to Disbursements made to any Client, ACI will, at the
direction of Customer, deduct from any such Disbursements applicable fees due
Customer from such Client. Customer will provide ACI Billing Services with a
written, detailed schedule of its applicable fees for each such Client (the
"Customer Fees") at least ten days prior to such Disbursements to Clients. Any
such Customer Fees will be remitted to Customer periodically, prior to
Disbursements being paid to Clients. The parties acknowledge that deduction of
Customer Fees by ACI and payment to Client pursuant to this paragraph will
constitute professional services as set forth in section 3 of Exhibit E attached
hereto.

         i. To the extent possible, ACI will chargeback (or credit) Customer for
items received from the LECs and/or items related specifically to End Users
billed on behalf of Customer (such as for adjustments, chargebacks, credits and
unbillables). In those cases where ACI does not receive End User or Customer
specific data from the LECs, Customer will be charged back (or credited) based
on the relative volume that its adjustments, chargebacks, credits, unbillables
or volumes bear to all ACI customers' adjustments, chargebacks, credits,
unbillables or volumes, or such other method as ACI determines in its sole
discretion is appropriate based on empirical data available to ACI.


                                      III.
                                    RESERVES

3.1 BAD DEBT RESERVE AND BAD DEBT RESERVE TRUEUPS

         Customer understands that LEC charges are for unbillable records,
uncollectable accounts, bad debt trueups and Customer adjustments (collectively
"Chargebacks"). Chargebacks are frequently not fully known to ACI or to the LECs
for up to eighteen months after records are billed to the End User. Customer
also understands that Customer and ACI have a mutual interest in ensuring that
adequate Customer funds are available when such charges become known. To ensure
that sufficient funds are available to repay such Chargebacks, as well as any
and all fees, charges or liabilities that may be owed to ACI or the LECs


                                        2

<PAGE>


(collectively "Liabilities"), ACI will require and will hold a Bad Debt Reserve
based on actual and estimated Chargebacks to cover any projected or actual
Liabilities. This Bad Debt Reserve may be adjusted periodically, at ACI's
discretion, as Chargebacks are trued-up. ACI will then deduct such amounts from
Disbursements to maintain the necessary reserve balance. Any remaining reserve
balance will be returned to Customer or its Client, as the case maybe, at such
time and in such amounts after all Chargebacks and Liabilities have been
determined and deducted by ACI.

3.2 TERMINATION RESERVE

         At the termination of this Agreement, or when Customer's revenue volume
accepted by the LECs declines for two consecutive months by 25% or more from the
prior month (for example, the revenue volume for each of February and March
declines by 25% or more from the level in January). Customer will deposit with
ACI and/or ACI will deduct from Disbursements an amount equal to ten percent
(10%) of the prior 90 days gross accepted revenues. In addition, ACI may require
an increase in this Termination Reserve as it determines the amount reasonably
needed to protect it from future Chargebacks and/or Liabilities. Any Termination
Reserve balance will be returned to Customer at such time and in such amounts
after all Chargebacks and Liabilities have been determined and deducted by ACI.


                                       IV.
                                     TAXES

4.1 TAXES BILLED AND COLLECTED BY THE LECS

         a. In the normal course of the Billing and Collection process, LECS
will bill and collect various federal, state and local taxes and tax-like
charges on records according to the LECS understanding of the various statutory
requirements.

         b. Each month the LECS provide ACI an accounting of taxes billed and
collected on behalf of ACI's customers and remit adequate funds to enable ACI to
report and pay to each taxing authority the taxes the LECs have determined are
due.

         c. As a service to ACI's customers, ACI will file consolidated tax
returns to be prepared and filed for amounts billed by the LECs for all
customers of ACI. Customer authorizes ACI to combine its taxes with other ACI
customers' taxes in order to file consolidated tax returns on its behalf.
Customer further acknowledges that ACI prepares and files tax returns based
solely on information provided by the LECs and makes no attempt to independently
verify the accuracy or appropriateness of the LECs accountings.

         d. Customer will advise ACI of any tax or tax-like charges that it
believes are unique to Customer's and/or any Client's products that might
otherwise be taxed at erroneous rates by the LECs. ACI will evaluate Customer's
proposed charges(s) and determine in its sole discretion the reasonableness in
requesting the LECs to change their standard taxing procedures. ACI will then
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the LECs to bill End Users for such
taxes.

         e. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ACI is acting only with
respect to arranging for the billing and collection of taxes merely on the
customer's behalf, and in no event shall ACI 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.

         f. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Customer
acknowledges and agrees that ACI will have no liability whatsoever to Customer
or any Client if: (i) the LECs fail to calculate, or incorrectly calculate
taxes, (ii) the LECs fail to furnish the information relating to the taxes to
ACI, (iii) the LECs fail to bill, or incorrectly bill, the End Users, (iv) the
LECs fail to properly establish the tax exempt status of End Users, or (v) ACI
miscalculates any End User's taxes, whether resulting from the use by ACI of
inaccurate or incomplete tax or End User information supplied to ACI by or
through Customer, any

                                        3

<PAGE>


Client, or a third party or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the tax
status of an End User or the applicable tax rates. Customer is solely
responsible for the collection and remittance of any tax or tax like charge not
collected or remitted by the LECs or ACI.

4.2 TAXES ON ACI AND LEC SERVICES

         Customer acknowledges that certain services performed by ACI are
subject to state and local taxes. ACI will add such taxes to the amounts due ACI
and cause such taxes to be reported and paid to the appropriate taxing
authorities.


                                       V.
                                   INSPECTION

         Customer will inspect and review all reports and Disbursement
information prepared by ACI and will notify ACI of any incorrect reports and
Disbursement information within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. Failure
to notify ACI of any such incorrect report or information will constitute
acceptance thereof, and waiver of any objections thereto.


                                       VI.
         INFORMATION REQUIRED FROM CUSTOMER PRIOR TO AND DURING BILLING

         Customer and each Client will be required to provide information or
documents reasonably requested by ACI prior to, and after records are billed.
Without limiting the previous sentence, any information requested by a LEC or
Government Authority is deemed reasonable.


                                      VII.
                                INQUIRY SERVICES

         As part of the LEC billing and collection service, ACI provides
customer service inquiry:

         (i) During the Term, if required by a LEC and/or in lieu of inquiry
services provided by one or more LEC, ACI shall (a) establish toll-free
telephone numbers to be used by End Users for the purpose of making inquiries
regarding charges for records reflected on End User bills issued by such LECs
and (b) provide operators to assist End Users in connection with such inquiries
(collectively, the "Inquiry Services"). Customer acknowledges that ACI's
election to provide Inquiry Services will be made on a LEC-by-LEC basis and will
include all records sent to that LEC by ACI. To the extent that ACI provides
such Inquiry Services, ACI will instruct each LEC to refer all inquiries from
End Users to such toll-free telephone numbers.

         (ii) In connection with any Inquiry Services that ACI may provide, ACI
will establish and maintain written guidelines that describe the manner in which
ACI will respond to End User inquiries, including without limitation the manner
in which credits or other appropriate adjustments are to be made, with such
supplements and amendments as may be necessary from time to time. ACI will
provide Customer with a copy of such written guidelines and any supplements or
amendments thereto upon Customer's request. ACI will be responsible for
responding to all End User questions and problems related to records and will
provide appropriate credits and adjustments, all in accordance with the
procedures that it establishes. ACI will promptly notify Customer of all credits
and adjustments issued by ACI on behalf of Customer or any Client.

         (iii) Upon the written request of Customer in connection with any
Inquiry Services that ACI provides, as set forth herein, and upon ACI's sole
reasonable discretion, ACI shall automatically transfer End User inquiries to
Customer's call center for handling by Customer, provided Customer complies with
the following:


                                        4

<PAGE>

         (a) Customer must maintain a toll-free customer service telephone
number to handle all End User inquiries which are automatically transferred to
Customer's call center;

         (b) All End User inquiries must be handled only by live operators and
not by message machine or other devices, at a service level that meets or
exceeds parameters set from time to time by ACI;

         (c) ACI has the right at any time and from time to time to monitor
calls to verify that End User inquiries are being handled appropriately by
Customer's call center;

         (d) ACI will handle all End User credits or other adjustments and
Customer will, within three (3) business days of the End user inquiry, provide
to ACI all information necessary for ACI to provide such End User credits or
adjustments in accordance with its established procedures. All such credit and
adjustment information will be provided to ACI in a format approved by ACI.
Customer agrees that it will not issue End User credits or adjustments of any
type in a manner other than stated above;

         (e) Customer will be responsible for providing to ACI updated
subscriber account information (name, address, service type, etc.) in a format
approved by ACI, on a regular basis as determined by ACI; but in no event less
than monthly; and

         (f) Customer acknowledges that the determination of ACI to transfer End
User inquiries to customer will be made on a customer identification
number-by-customer identification number basis and will include all inquiries
related to any such customer identification number. For those inquires that ACI
"warm transfers" to Customer, at all times ACI will attempt to complete the
"warm transfer". However, Customer and ACI agree that if an End User does not
want his/her/its inquiry to be transferred to Customer, ACI will handle the
inquiry.

         (g) Notwithstanding anything above in this section to the contrary, ACI
may, in its reasonable sole discretion and at any time, discontinue the
transferring of End User inquiries to Customer if Customer fails to
satisfactorily handle any End User inquiry. The transfer of End User inquiries
to Customer does not abridge ACI's right to issue End User adjustments or
credits in accordance with its established procedures.

               (iv) ACI handling of Inquiry Services, and Section (iii)(g)
above, survive the term or termination of this Agreement.


                                      VIII.
                                  AUTHORIZATION

         Customer hereby authorizes ACI to include Customer's or Client's name,
address, phone number, and any other information required by a LEC or Government
Authority, that ACI deems reasonably necessary to discharge its duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement. Customer agrees that it shall cause its
Client(s), upon the signing of this Agreement, to provide an identical
authorization to Customer for the services to be performed pursuant to this
Agreement.

         Customer hereby ratifies and confirms all that ACI does in good faith
to fulfill its duties and responsibilities hereunder.

              CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND OBLIGATIONS

9.1 CUSTOMER HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO ACI AS FOLLOWS:

         a. Records submitted to ACI for billing strictly meet or adhere to the
requirements of all federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations, and
orders, and/or judgments of any Governmental Authority. In addition, Customer
and each Client has filed all tariffs and has obtained all governmental and
regulatory authorizations, approvals, and other consents, (collectively
"Certification") all of which are in full force and effect, that are required by
law or any Governmental Authority for the provision by Customer and each Client
of telecommunications services to End Users, and/or required by any Government
Authority having jurisdiction over the business and operations of Customer and
each Client. Customer and each Client will, upon execution of this Agreement,
provide ACI with a copy of each Certification or other written evidence of
compliance with such requirements. Customer will promptly notify ACI in writing
of any expiration, amendment, or renewal of any such Certification or of any new
Certification. Customer and each Client will comply in all respects with the
Certifications and laws, rules, regulations, and other requirements of any
Governmental Authority related thereto.

         b. Records submitted by Customer and each Client pursuant to this
Agreement are not subject to any other valid or existing billing and collection
agreement, and have not been billed previously, and will not be billed by any
Person following submission to ACI. Customer and each Client agree that once any
services contemplated herein have begun for an End User's account or for a
particular location, until after the termination of this Agreement, Customer and
each Client will not transfer that End User's account or location information to
another billing and collections provider, and except for ACI, no other billing
and collections provider will provide billing services for Customer and each
Client to that End-User account. The provisions of the previous sentence do not
apply if ACI is unable to provide services related to such records, or if ACI is
unable to provide advanced funding for such records.

         c. Customer and each Client will comply with all rules and requirements
of ACI as well as the LECs' in whose jurisdiction records are submitted for
billing and collections.

         d. Customer and each Client agree to be bound by the Coalition to
Ensure Responsible Billing ("CERB") Guidelines, found at www.cerb.org.

         e. Each record does not relate to services performed more than ninety
(90) days prior to the date said record was received by ACI for processing.

                                       XI.
                                    INDEMNITY

         a. Customer will indemnify, and defend ACI and will hold ACI harmless
from and against any and all claims, actions, acts of third parties,
liabilities, litigations, losses, costs, expenses (including but not limited to
attorney's fees whether in-house or outside), all damages (including but not
limited to consequential and/or punitive damages, and/or damages for loss of
profits and/or for loss of revenue), and liability for any equitable remedies
(including but not limited to injunctive relief and/or specific performance),
due to, relating to, or arising out of: (i) records processed on behalf of
Customer and each Client, and/or (ii) any acts or omissions of Customer and each
Client, and/or (iii) the occurrence of any of the items set forth in Section
13.2 of this Agreement, and/or (iv) any violation of any representation,
covenant or warranty of Customer set forth in this Agreement, or any other
Agreement between Customer and ACI, and/or (v) any breach by Customer of any
provision of this Agreement or any other agreement


                                        6

<PAGE>


between ACI and Customer, and/or (vi) the incorrectness or incompleteness of any
data or information supplied to ACI by Customer and each Client under this
Agreement, and/or (vii) ACI's use, in accordance with this Agreement, of, and
reliance upon, information provided by Customer and each Client.

         b. ACI will give Customer prompt written notice of any matters in
respect of which the indemnity may apply; provided, however, that if ACI fails
to give the Customer prompt written notice, Customer will only be relieved of
its obligations under this Article XI if and to the extent that such party is
prejudiced thereby. If ACI is named by a third party in a legal proceeding
resulting from Customer's records, acts or omissions pursuant to this Agreement,
ACI shall, due to ACI's expertise in the billing industry, solely control its
own defense and Customer shall be liable for all costs and expenses including
attorneys' fees. ACI shall provide Customer with invoices of actual costs and
expenses incurred on a monthly basis, prior to deducting such costs and expenses
from Disbursements. Should deductions from Disbursements be insufficient, ACI
shall invoice Customer for sums due and such invoice shall be due.


                                      XII.
                            LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

12.1 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

         a. Correction of Errors. ACI will use its best efforts to correct any
alleged acts or omissions in a timely fashion upon written notice from Customer,
although ACI shall not be liable for specific performance or in any other way
become liable to Customer for any of the acts, omissions or losses stated above
as a result of its correction efforts. In this regard, ACI will reprocess or
resubmit records, recalculate sums receivable or payable, or refile returns as
needed, but only if commercially reasonable to do so and if permitted by a
Governmental Authority or LEC (but not more than once as to each such corrective
action), but ACI does not guarantee its correction effort, nor does ACI
represent or warrant that all acts or omissions as described above will be
corrected. Customer agrees that its sole remedy for any of the above referenced
acts or omissions or losses shall be limited to the corrective actions described
herein.

         b. Remedy for Gross Negligence. CUSTOMER FURTHER AGREES THAT IN THE
EVENT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF ACI, THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DAMAGES FOR
ALL PURPOSES, WILL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, AN AMOUNT EQUAL ONLY TO THE
TOTAL ACI PROCESSING FEE SET FORTH IN THE SCHEDULE(S) ONLY (SPECIFICALLY
EXCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE, LEC FEES, ETC.) PAID TO ACI DURING THE THREE MONTH
PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT, ACT OR OMISSION GIVING
RISE TO THE CLAIM. The limitations set forth in the previous sentence does not
apply to Disbursements payable to Customer. Any action or claim by Customer for
gross negligence must be made within one (1) year of the event, act or omission
giving rise to such claim or reasonable discovery of such.

         c. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISONS OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE
CONTRARY, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF CLAIM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR WHETHER FROM BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT,
IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER ACI HAS BEEN ADVISED OR SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, IN NO EVENT WILL THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES RECOVERABLE
BY CUSTOMER AGAINST ACI FOR ANY ACT OR OMMISSION OF ACI, INCLUDE ANY AMOUNTS FOR
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY PERSON
OR FOR LOSS OF ACTUAL OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS LOST SAVINGS OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS
OF ANY PERSON OR FOR DAMAGES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED, USING REASONABLE
DILIGENCE, BY ACI, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL CUSTOMER RECOVER DAMAGES AGAINST ACI
FOR NEGLIGENCE.

         d. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ACI MAKES
NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, TO CUSTOMER, TO ANY
CLIENT OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY


                                        7

<PAGE>


WARRANTIES REGARDING TITLE TO OR THE MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY, ORIGINALITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE (IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY PREVIOUS
COURSE OF DEALING BETWEEN THE PARTIES OR CUSTOM OR USAGE OF TRADE) OF ANY
SOFTWARE, SERVICES, OR MATERIALS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

         e. Hold Harmless and Indemnity. Customer and ACI expressly acknowledge
that ACI's limited liability described above represents the express
understanding of how the risks and liabilities between Customer and ACI are to
be allocated. The parties reached this understanding by weighing the fees
charged by ACI for its services under this Agreement against the recovery that
Customer would be entitled to in the event that any of the acts, omissions or
losses described above were to occur. Each party irrevocably accepts such
limitations.


                                      XIII.
                                  TERMINATION

13.1 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

         Subject to Section 13.3, if either party materially or repeatedly
defaults in the performance of any of its duties or obligations under this
Agreement, which default is not substantially cured within twenty (20) business
days after written notice is given to the defaulting party specifying the
default, or a lesser time period if set forth in another section of this
Agreement, then the non-defaulting party may, by giving written notice thereof
to the defaulting party, terminate this Agreement as of the date of receipt by
the defaulting party of such notice or as of a future date specified in such
notice of termination.

13.2 SPECIAL TERMINATION RIGHTS

         Without notice, ACI may stop processing all or some of the records
submitted by Customer, or terminate the Agreement, if ACI determines in its sole
discretion that the processing of records submitted by Customer, or the
continuation of the processing of records, in whole or in part, has or shall:
(a) negatively affect the goodwill, reputation, profitability, or business of
ACI, (b) threaten the termination of or negatively impact any LEC Contract of
ACI or ACI's relationship with a LEC, (c) result in or has already resulted in
the scrutiny (informal or formal investigation, or otherwise) of Customer, ACI,
or any Person, by any Governmental Authority, (d) has resulted in or may result
in the violation of any rule, ordinance, law, order, decision, judgment, or
policy of any Government Authority, any LEC and/or ACI, and/or (e) has resulted
in or may result in a legal proceeding, including but not limited to litigation,
arbitration or administrative proceeding involving ACI either as a party or as a
non-party (including, but not limited to, ACI having to provide documents and/or
deponents).

         ACI shall attempt to give notice and opportunity to cure to Customer in
any of the above instances, if in ACI's sole reasonable discretion such notice
and opportunity is proper under the circumstances.

13.3 RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION

         Records received by ACI on or before the expiration date or the
effective date of termination of this Agreement will be processed by ACI, and
Disbursements due and owing to Customer will be paid to Customer, less amounts
representing the Reserve. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for
any reason, Customer will (a) promptly return the Licensed Program (including
the related documentation) to ACI and destroy all copies, whether authorized or
unauthorized, in Customer's possession, and (b) pay ACI for all services
provided and expenses incurred through the effective date of such expiration or
termination, as well as for all services provided and expenses incurred
thereafter in connection with the processing of records received on or before
the effective date of such expiration or termination. The provisions of this
Section 13.3, and Sections 5.1, 5.2, 7.1, 7.2 and Articles VI, XII, and XIII of
the main


                                        8

<PAGE>


Agreement, Articles III, VII, XI, XII, XVII, and XVIII of this Attachment, any
provision dealing with monies owed to ACI, and any provisions dealing with
Disbursements owed, but not yet paid to Customer, survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement for any reason.


                                      XIV.
                                 FORCE MAJEURE

         Each party will be excused from performance under this Agreement for
any period, and the time of any performance will be extended, to the extent
reasonably necessary under the circumstances, any act of God or any Governmental
Authority or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, war, civil disturbance,
court order, labor dispute, third party nonperformance (including without
limitation the acts or omissions of common carriers, interexchange carriers or
LECs, but excluding any employees of the party seeking to be excused from
performance hereunder) or any other cause beyond its reasonable control,
including without limitation failures or fluctuations in electrical power, heat,
light, air conditioning or telecommunications equipment or lines or other
equipment. Such nonperformance on the part of either party will not be
considered: (a) a default under this Agreement, provided that the party whose
performance has been excused performs such obligation as soon as is reasonably
practicable after the termination or cessation of such event or circumstance; or
(b) a ground for termination of this Agreement except as provided in Section
13.3 of this Attachment.

                             VALIDATION OBLIGATIONS

         During the Term, Customer and Client will validate, or cause to be
validated, using an industry approved method for validation: (a) All telephone
calls for which validation is mandated by a Governmental Authority; (b) All
telephone calls for which validation is specifically required by a LEC; (c) All
telephone calls, the collection for which is deemed to be below industry
standards or not in accordance with industry practice; and (d) for 0+/- calls
only (see Schedule 1-A) all operator assisted third-party calls (whether

                                    Exhibit A
                                       to
                 Attachment 1 to the Billing Services Agreement

                            Certain Fees and Expenses


1). Customer Service Inquiry Fees.

         Customer is charged a Customer Service Inquiry Fee of $3.25 for each
inquiry handled by ACI's Customer Service Department, in addition to any LEC
fees. The fee for the transfer of inquiry, as set forth in Article VII (iii), is
$0.65 per inquiry transferred, plus any LEC fees.

2). Regulatory Inquiry Costs.

         Customer is charged for the time and processing costs involved in
responding to regulatory inquiries and complaints relating to Customer's or any
Client's End Users at the rate of $65.00 per hour plus expenses, $50.00 minimum
per complaint.

3). Special Reporting and Professional Services

         Customer is charged for the time and processing costs involved in
responding to requests for special reports, documents or research, or for
professional services, including but not limited to data processing, and
training, at the rate of $150.00 per hour, plus expenses. This fee also applies
to requests for documentation or materials to be produced in response to
requests of Governmental Authorities pursuant to rules, orders or subpoenas.

4). Sub-Carrier Identification Code ("Sub-CIC")

         Sub-Carrier Identification Codes ("Sub-CIC") permits separate "name on
bill" identification (branding). This is subject to regulatory requirements. The
fee is $3,500 for each nationwide set-up per Sub-CIC. So long as during the
sixth month after a Sub-CIC is implemented, the revenue for records processed by
ACI for that Sub-CIC exceeds $750,000, this fee is waived. Otherwise, Customer
will be assessed this fee.

5). Customer Identification Number ("CIN").

         CIN permits separate accounting for specific customer entities,
locations, products, etc. This requires average monthly billable message volume
of 10,000 per CIN. There is no charge for the first two CINs issued to Customer
(one processing, one non-processing). The charge is $100 per additional CIN. So
long as during the sixth month after a CIN is implemented, the revenue for
records processed by ACI under that CIN exceeds $750,000, this fee is waived.
Otherwise Customer will be assessed this fee.

6). Data Transmission Fees.

         Customer is responsible for all charges attributed to the transmission
of data between ACI and the Customer and each Client, as the case may be and ACI
and the LECs. This fee is $0.0048 per record, subject to change on sixty (60)
days written notice. In addition, Customer is responsible for the acquisition
and provision of any equipment including, without limitation, terminals,
printers and modems (but excluding any data telecommunication lines or equipment
at or between any ACI data centers), that are necessary or appropriate for
Customer to access Customer data at any ACI data center. Customer is solely
responsible for entering into arrangments with data telecommunication network
carriers for the provision of access to such networks and pay any usage costs or
charges relating thereto, as may be necessary or appropriate for Customer to
access Customer data at any ACI data center.

7). Reimbursement of Expenses.

         In addition to any other payments specified in this Agreement, Customer
will pay, or reimburse ACI for, all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses,
including without limitation travel and travel-related expenses, incurred by ACI
in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. ACI
will attempt to obtain from the Customer prior consent, except if such expense
is needed to continue the processing of records.

8). Other Expenses.

         Customer will pay all fees and expenses of ACI for reruns or otherwise
necessitated: (a) by incorrect, incomplete, or omitted data or erroneous
instructions supplied to ACI by or through Customer or any Client; and/or (b)
for the correction of programming, operator, and other processing errors caused
by Customer, any Client, or its respective employees or agents.

9). Cost of Living Adjustment.

         If the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, All Cities
Average, 1982-84=100, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
Department of Labor (the "CPI"), is on January 1 of any year during the Term
(the "Current Index") higher than the highest CPI on January 1 of any prior year
during the Term (the "Base Index"), then, effective as of such January 1, all
fees payable to ACI pursuant to this Agreement, (except LEC fees), may be
increased thereafter by the percentage that the Current Index will have
increased from the Base Index, and such amounts as increased pursuant to this
Section 9 will be deemed incorporated herein. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics
stops publishing the CPI or substantially changes the content or format thereof,
the parties will substitute therefor another comparable measure published by a
mutually agreeable source; provided, however, that if such change is merely to
redefine the base year for the CPI from 1982-84 to some other year(s), the
parties will continue to use the CPI but will, if necessary, convert either the
Base Index or the Current Index to the Same basis as the other by multiplying
such Index by the appropriate conversion factor.

10). Invoice and Time of Payment.

         Any amount due ACI pursuant to this Agreement for which a time for
payment is not otherwise specified will be due and payable upon receipt by
Customer of the invoice from ACI therefor. All invoiced amounts due ACI pursuant
to, and not paid in accordance with, this Agreement may be deducted by ACI from
the Remittances it receives from the LECs prior to forwarding the Disbursements
to Customer. Any amount owing to ACI pursuant to this Agreement that is not paid
within fifteen (15) days of receipt will thereafter earn interest until paid at
the Late Payment Rate. The "Late Payment Rate" means an annual rate of interest
equal to the lesser of (a) 4% per annum more than the then prime rate
established by Citibank N.A., New York, NY, or (b) the maximum rate of interest
allowed by applicable law.

11). Customer Initiated Credits.

         For each End User adjustment or credit initiated by Customer, Customer
shall be charged $0.55 for each such adjustment or credit.

less than $5,000 in a calendar month, Customer shall have deducted from
Disbursements, and/or pay directly after invoice to ACI, the short fall.

8). Canadian Billed Records.

         In addition to the foregoing charges, Customer will pay ACI an
additional charge of $0.03 for each BCDR that is billed in Canada.
