7.       PRICING


7.6      Billing principles

7.6.1    Traffic volumes measured by FT will be the reference for billing.
         Billable calls are efficient (i.e. answered) calls. The billable
         traffic volume information is derived from the Call Detail Records
         (CDR) produced by the switches, or enhanced voice service platforms
         when appropriate, managed/pre-processed by IS tools within Newco and
         processed by FTLD billing applications.

7.6.2    Billing will be done on a monthly basis.

8.       PAYMENT TERMS, TAXES

8.1      Currency of invoices and payment will be in Euros.

8.2      All Charges shall be payable within 60 days of the date of the invoice
         to which the payment relates, subject to Section 8.5, unless otherwise
         expressly stated in this Agreement.

8.3      The prices have been quoted exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties,
         withholding taxes or similar charges, direct or indirect which could be
         levied as a result of the execution of the Agreement.

8.4      All taxes, withholding taxes, levies and duties, including VAT,
         turnover tax, excise tax, sales tax or any other taxes or charges of
         whatever nature, direct or indirect, existing or to be created, other
         than taxes measured on FT income (corporate income tax) relating to the
         supply of the Switched Voice Services or of any services as provided
         under this Agreement shall be paid and borne by Newco.



                                       8
<PAGE>

         In the event that FT would be obliged to pay such above mentioned
         taxes, levies, duties and in particular withholding taxes, the amount
         of taxes paid will be deducted by FT from the amounts due under this
         Agreement. In the event that the taxes so paid exceeds the amounts due
         to Newco, Newco shall reimburse the said amounts of tax or charge so
         levied, in the same currency, within 30 (thirty) days after submission
         of the relevant documents.

8.5      Newco shall be entitled on reasonable grounds to dispute any invoice.
         In such case, Newco shall give FT notice within 30 days of receipt of
         the disputed payment, specifying the disputed amount, together with
         such supporting documentation as shall be necessary to substantiate its
         claim. The Parties shall co-operate to resolve the dispute in an
         expeditious manner and in any event within 45 days. No claims shall be
         valid if such notice and documentation is not delivered within such 30
         day period. In no event shall either Party withhold any part of any
         invoice, which is not the subject of a bona fide dispute. If the
         dispute is not resolved within the above prescribed period, it shall be
         referred to the Steering Committee.

8.5      All amounts due hereunder that are not paid when due, including any
         amount disputed by Newco which is subsequently determined to be due to
         FT, shall accrue extended payment interest at the rate per annum of 2%
         above the 3-month Euribor rate in effect from time to time calculated
         on a daily basis from the date on which payment became due to the date
         such payment is received by FT or the highest rate applicable by law,
         whichever is the lesser.

9.1      Either Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement or any
         Service Order in accordance with Sections 16 or 19.8.

9.2      In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
         9.1, the Parties shall agree on a transition plan that enables Newco to
         migrate its customers from the Network, with a time limit of six
         months. The Parties shall continue to co-operate at all times during
         the transition period and agree that the terms and conditions of this
         Agreement shall continue to govern such migration, as applicable.

         Agreement. Each Party shall appoint a senior representative to the
         Steering Committee having sufficient authority and powers to bind the
         Parties in relation to such disputes. The Steering Committee shall meet
         each time one of the Parties so requires and in addition at least twice
         a year (whether in person or otherwise). The minutes of the Steering
         Committee shall be drafted by the Parties as soon as practicable but

         review of the performance of this Agreement once in each 12 month
         period. Such review shall include services, support, pricing, and
         customer issues.

(c)      Dispute Resolution

         (i)      If a Party ("the Disputing Party") wishes to invoke the
                  dispute procedure specified in this Section 10 it shall as
                  soon as reasonably practicable notify its representatives of
                  the Steering Committee of such dispute. The Disputing Party
                  shall include with such notice all relevant details including
                  the nature and extent of the dispute;



                                       9
<PAGE>

         (ii)     following a notification under the Section 10(c)(i), the
                  representatives shall convene the Steering Committee which, in
                  good faith shall use all reasonable endeavors to resolve the
                  dispute. If no agreement is reached at the level of the
                  Steering Committee, the dispute may be escalated by any of the
                  Parties to the level of the Executive Boards of the Parties.
                  If a Party escalates a dispute, it shall record for the
                  benefit of the next level all relevant details including what
                  is agreed and what is not agreed concerning the dispute;

         (iii)    no change to a representative shall be effective until it has
                  been notified to the other Party;

         (iv)     the above procedures are without prejudice to any other rights
                  and remedies that may be available in respect of any breach of
                  any provision of this Agreement;

         (v)      all disputes arising under or in connection with this
                  Agreement which cannot be settled through the dispute
                  resolution procedure set forth herein shall be finally settled
                  by a board of 3 arbitrators in accordance with the Rules of
                  Conciliation and Arbitration of the International Chamber of
                  Commerce. The arbitration shall take place in the Netherlands
                  and all proceedings shall be in the English language. The
                  decision reached by the arbitrators shall be final and either
                  Party may seek to have the arbitral award enforced by any
                  court of competent jurisdiction;

         (vi)     each Party shall have the right to seek injunctive relief from
                  any court of competent jurisdiction pending the establishment
                  of the arbitral tribunal, injunctive relief in aid of
                  arbitration or to protect the rights of such Party. Any
                  request for such interim relief by a Party shall not be deemed
                  incompatible with, or a waiver of, this agreement to
                  arbitrate.

11.      CONFIDENTIALITY, PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS

11.1     All Confidential Information shall be deemed the proprietary and
         confidential information of the disclosing Party and shall be used by

                  to such Confidential Information of their obligations with

         judicial, governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
         such Party to disclose Confidential Information, such Party shall give
         the Party, which disclosed such Confidential Information, notice as

         or services provided by such Party shall not be affected by any delay,
         interruption, breakdown or failure or by any failure in or breakdown of
         such Party's transmission facilities associated with such products or
         services, provided that in each case, such event was not caused by a
         Material Default of such Party in the execution of its contractual
         obligations and that the providing Party shall exert all efforts to the
         best of its abilities, to mitigate the consequences of such event for

         action.

13.      INDEMNIFICATION

13.1     Except as otherwise provided herein, Newco and France Telecom S.A. (on
         behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates) (each an
         "Indemnifying Party") hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold the
         other Party, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
         employees, and/or subcontractors harmless from and against any and all
         claims, actions or demands against the other Party, its Affiliates and
         their respective directors, officers, employees and/or subcontractors
         and from and against any and all damages, liabilities and expenses,
         including defence costs and legal fees, for injury to or death of any
         person and for loss of or damage to any and all real or personal
         property, whether tangible or intangible,


                                       11
<PAGE>

         arising out of the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of
         the Indemnifying Party or its appointed agents, distributors and
         representatives, related to the Indemnifying Party's performance or
         non-performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including the
         Indemnifying Party's sale of products, or performance of services,
         dealings with customers, or any representation, act or omission made by
         the Indemnifying Party.

13.2     If notified in writing of any action brought against the Indemnified
         Party based on a claim that the Software or any equipment provided by
         the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party as an integral part of
         any product or service infringes any Intellectual Property Right, the
         Indemnifying Party shall defend any such action at its expense and
         shall pay any and all fees, costs or damages that may be finally
         awarded in such action and/or settlement thereof, provided that the
         Indemnified Party gives the Indemnifying Party reasonable assistance to
         defend and/or settle such claim. In the event that an injunction,
         whether temporary or permanent, is obtained against the Indemnified
         Party prohibiting use of the Software or equipment provided to the
         Indemnified Party as an integral part of any product or service, or any
         part thereof, by reason of such infringement, the Indemnifying Party
         shall, at its option, either: (a) at the Indemnifying Party's expense,
         procure the right for the Indemnified Party to continue using the
         product or service; or (b) replace or modify such product or service so
         that it is non-infringing; or (c) if the foregoing alternatives are not
         feasible, the Indemnified Party shall, upon notice from the
         Indemnifying Party, cease to use such product or service.

13.3     Notwithstanding Section 13.2 above, the Indemnifying Party shall have
         no obligation to defend the Indemnified Party or to pay costs, damages,
         or legal fees for any claim based upon (a) use of other than a current
         unaltered release of the Software which is provided as part of the
         product or service, if such infringement would have been avoided by the
         use of a current unaltered release of such Software (subject to its
         provisioning by the Indemnifying Party); (b) the combination,
         operations or use of any Software furnished under this Agreement with
         Software or products not supplied by the Indemnifying Party, if such
         infringement would have been avoided by not combining, operating or
         using such Software with other programs or data; or (c) use of such
         Software other than with any equipment, products or services provided
         under this Agreement.

14.      FORCE MAJEURE

14.1     Neither Party shall be liable for failure to perform its obligations
         hereunder due to Force Majeure.

14.2     In the event that either Party is unable to perform any of its
         obligations under this Agreement due to Force Majeure, the
         non-performing Party shall immediately give notice to the other Party
         and do everything reasonably possible to remedy the condition and
         resume performance as soon as possible.

14.3     Upon receipt of such notice, the obligations under this Agreement which
         the affected Party is unable to perform because of such condition shall
         be suspended for so long as such condition exists and the relevant cure
         periods hereunder shall be extended for the period of time that such
         condition exists. Such affected Party will use all commercially
         reasonable efforts, including the use of alternative sources,
         work-around plans or other means, to overcome such event of Force
         Majeure as quickly as possible, and will keep the other Party informed
         of the results of such efforts on a regular basis. Such Party shall
         promptly notify the other of the termination of the event of Force
         Majeure, and when performance by such Party of the obligation excused
         by such event of Force Majeure will recommence.

14.4     Notwithstanding Section 14.3, either Party shall be entitled to
         terminate any Service Order if the Switched Voice Services under such
         Service Order are not performed in full for 30 consecutive days due to
         an event of Force Majeure.

          APPENDIX 1- DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF SWITCHED VOICE SERVICES

1.       SCOPE OF SWITCHED VOICE SERVICES

1.1      ELEMENTS

         The elements of Switched Voice Services to be provided to Newco under
         this Agreement are:

         1.1.1    management and routing of voice traffic over the Network from
                  one POP to another POP ("POP to POP traffic");

         1.1.2    management and routing of voice traffic from a POP to an end
                  destination ("POP to end traffic"). This service element
                  includes the "termination" of the traffic, usually via a local
                  PSTN or other supplier.

1.2      KEY SERVICE ELEMENTS

         The key elements of the Switched Voice Services are as described in the
         following Sections and illustrated in schemes 2a, 2b and 2c.

         1.2.1    BASIC SERVICE

                  Basic Service comprises:

                  (a)      management of all traffic and optimization of its
                           routing in terms of cost and quality ("Best Choice
                           Routing"),

                  (b)      implementation, change management and maintenance of
                           Switch configurations.

                  A common planning of customer access activities will take
                  place between Newco and FT, to ensure that Newco's lead-time
                  objectives for customer provisioning and change management are
                  met.

                  Newco will be responsible for and will manage Newco customer
                  relationships, product management, sales and marketing, global
                  customer service centres, customer network implementation and
                  change management, Newco customer billing operations, customer
                  information system development and operation.

                  Newco will be responsible for the provision of Newco customer
                  access (via dedicated, switched, PSTN, mobile, IP and domestic
                  or international toll free service (ITFS), as well as possibly
                  through partners such as Affiliated National Operators
                  (Affinos), and manages this function, except for indirect
                  access as described in Section 1.2.3 of this Appendix.

                  The various access methods are illustrated in scheme 2c.

                  The PoPs are listed in Appendix 3. Appendix 4 provides the
                  detailed list of switches located in these PoPs. Access
                  interfaces on the switches are provided in Appendix 6.

                  The overall list of POPs may evolve and be reduced as a result
                  of Network restructuring efforts without affecting Service
                  Orders in force.

1.2.2 VALUE ADDED SWITCHED VOICE SERVICES

                  Value Added Switched Voice Services include IN Switched Voice
                  Services and more advanced voice service capabilities such as
                  CLI, Network-Interactive Voice Response


                                       17
<PAGE>

                  "N-IVR" and Intelligent Contact manager "ICM". Such value
                  added services are currently solely offered by Newco to its
                  customers and not offered by FT to other FT customers. Until
                  an alternative solution is available, the added value services
                  shall be carried on top of the switched voice backbone network
                  operated by FT.

                  For the value added switched voice services offered by Newco
                  to its customers, Newco will be responsible for the services
                  and for the specific key network elements such as IN
                  Platforms, call routers, network IVR/VRU and ICM equipment and
                  any Newco customer specific application running on the IN
                  Platforms.

                  Newco will consolidate all the functions related to the
                  operations, the maintenance and the provisioning of all the
                  value added platforms (as listed in Appendix 9) supporting the
                  value added services. More precisely, Newco will take over the
                  monitoring and the fault management of all IN & N-IVR
                  platforms, the after hours monitoring of the NCM/ICM platform,
                  and all table/translations activities on the SCP which are
                  performed by FT on behalf of Newco.

                  The dedicated Lan-to-Lan network "VRU-Net" (allowing IP
                  connectivity between SCP/IN, N-IVR, and ICM) and the dedicated
                  customer Lan-to-Lans (allowing IP connectivity between central
                  ICM and the Peripheral gateways located at customer premises)
                  will also be the full responsibility of Newco.

                  This transfer of activities is not affecting FT
                  responsibilities and related activities of the "basic
                  service". While Newco will provide table fill for the value
                  added platforms, any related switch table fill and activity
                  will still be processed through FT.

                  The transition plan should be developed and agreed between the
                  Parties by June 1st, 2002. It will include the transfer of
                  network management systems related to the SCP/IN, N-IVR and
                  ICM to Newco premises and the corresponding transfer of
                  knowledge. The effective hand-over date of the activities must
                  be mutually agreed between FT and Newco.

1.2.3 INDIRECT ACCESS

                  (a)      The MOU provides that generally, Newco is responsible
                           for access services, and Indirect Access is a part of
                           access services. FT has however committed to assume
                           responsibility for certain activities and the supply
                           of certain technical features.

                  (b)      FT shall be responsible for the signaling, numbering
                           plan, day to day capacity planning, monitoring and
                           trouble shooting procedures relating to Indirect
                           Access.

                  (c)      FT will be responsible for directing and managing all
                           negotiations with PTOs for Newco for Indirect Access
                           to and will exercise best efforts to have all
                           necessary agreements in place for Indirect Access.

                  (d)      FT shall be responsible for development and
                           implementation of technical solutions necessary to
                           ensure regulatory compliance for existing and future
                           Switched Voice Services (including number
                           portability).

2.  MAINTENANCE AND CHANGES TO THE SWITCHED VOICE SERVICES

                  (a)      MAINTENANCE OF THE SWITCHED VOICE SERVICES

                           FT will be in charge of maintaining and operating the
                           Switched Voice Services and will bear the costs as
                           defined in the Joint Business Plan.

                                    provided by the other Party.

                           If the change has been requested by Newco, including
                           in case of evolution of Newco's own product offering,
                           specific growth of its business or legal constraints,
                           such change may result in changes to the price
                           applicable for the relevant Switched Voice Services

                           In case of evolution of any Switched Voice Service
                           initiated by FT, as a result of network optimization,
                           technology evolutions or business decisions, there
                           will be no increase of the price applicable under
                           this Agreement..

                  (C) INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS

                  For service evolutions requiring asset additions and
                  enhancements, a capital requirement will be identified which
                  will be subject to a joint approval process, which process
                  shall include which Party will fund the investment.

                  In the event the investment is approved, Newco shall issue a
                  request for the new service to FT, and FT shall advise the
                  price, if any. The price shall be determined by reference to
                  paragraph 2 (b) above.

                  In the event that a decision can not be reached regarding the
                  investment through the joint approval process identified
                  above, the escalation/arbitration procedure described in
                  Section 10 will apply.

3. TRAFFIC FORECAST

Operational traffic volume forecasts will be provided by Newco to FT and used by
FT to prepare in advance the network/operations related activities. They will be
provided on a four quarters rolling basis.

They will include the same type of information as the forecasts provided through
the Service Orders, and will be more precise /detailed (i.e. with all the
routes). In order to allow Newco to prepare the forecasts, FT will provide Newco
with recent and detailed traffic reports on Newco customers.

                            APPENDIX 5: SERVICE ORDER

The Service Order shall provide the following information:

1. TIME PERIOD during which the Service Order is applicable : Start Date - End
Date The period will cover at least two quarters. A Service Order will be agreed
upon by the Parties every quarter for the next two quarters, with a two months
notice. For example, the Parties shall agree on the Service Order related to
January-June 2002 by the end of October 2001.

2.       TRAFFIC FORECASTS  from Newco for the specified Time Period :

         -        international and domestic traffic,
         -        on-net and off-net traffic,
         -        switched access traffic.

The forecasts will be provided in Minutes and will include, for every PoP of the
Network:

                  -        DOMESTIC TRAFFIC forecasts
                  -        ON-NET INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC forecasts to all PoP of
                           the Network (PoP to PoP matrix).
                  -        OFF-NET INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC forecasts :

                           -        Off-net traffic forecast from the PoP to the
                                    following zones : Europe, USA, North America
                                    except USA, South America, Asia Pacific,
                                    Rest of the World

                           -        Off-net traffic forecast from the PoP to the
                                    routes with more than 2 millions minutes /
                                    year.

                  -        SWITCHED ACCESS TRAFFIC, as a percentage of the total
                           traffic originating from the PoP

Note : Newco has indicated a difficulty to split on-net and off-net traffic
forecasts. The Parties agreed to work jointly to resolve this issue. Newco's
ability to provide traffic forecast is dependent upon FT supplying traffic
reports for Newco customers as described in Section 3 of Appendix 1. These
forecasts are for information purposes only, as a sub-set of the formal
operational forecast process, with no penalty applicable.

3. QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
By default the quality requirements will be as defined in Appendix 7 of the

4.       MONTHLY MEAN TIME TO RESTORE

         DEFINITION

         To ensure that FT is following its commitments for Monthly Mean Time to
         Restore, FT will compile, report and follow-up on its performance
         hereunder.

         OBJECTIVE

         -        The Monthly Mean Time to Restore the Service should not exceed
                  5 hours for P1 tickets. P1 tickets mean - a Newco single
                  connection outage or Connection down without alternate route
                  or Tandem host/application down or Server Outage.

         -        The Monthly Mean Time to Restore the Service should not exceed
                  8 hours for P2 tickets. P2 tickets mean - Partial single
                  customer outage or Connection down with alternate route
                  available.

         -        80% of the P1/P2 tickets shall be resolved within 2 times the
                  relevant Monthly Mean Time to Repair

5.       PROVISIONING LEAD-TIME

         DEFINITION

         The provisioning lead-time shall be defined as the period between the
         date of the notification by Newco to FT and the date of the Acceptance
         Tests.


                                       33
<PAGE>

         To ensure that FT and Newco are following their commitments of
         provisioning and change lead-time, FT will be responsible for
         compiling, reporting and the follow-up of this information.

         Newco will be responsible to provide its input into this KPI related
         to:

         -        new voice customer service implementation,

         -        major changes on a existing customer service,

         -        minor feature changes on a existing customer service,

         -        minor parameter changes on an existing customer service.

         The provisioning lead-time starts for new customer service
         implementation and major changes on an existing customer service upon
         the date of notification from Newco to FT ,and for the minor feature
         changes or minor parameter changes on an existing customer service upon
         the date of notification delivered by Newco to FT.

         Before notification is given, FT will sometimes be required to support
         Newco during the provisioning time for capacity planning and routing.

         OBJECTIVE

         -        The provisioning lead-time for new voice customer service
                  implementation should not exceed 60 Working Days (to be
                  discussed and reviewed on a per country basis).

         -        The provisioning lead-time for major changes on an existing
                  customer service should not exceed 60 Working Days (to be
                  discussed and reviewed on a per country basis).

         -        The provisioning lead-time for minor feature changes on an
                  existing customer service should not exceed 10 Working Days
                  (to be discussed and reviewed on a per country basis).

         -        The provisioning lead-time for urgent minor parameter changes
                  on an existing customer service should not exceed 2 Working
                  Days .

         A change requiring hardware or software modification or raising network
         capacity issues is considered as a "major" change.

         The installation of a customer using Indirect Access should be done
         within 5 Working Days, if Indirect Access is already implemented in the
         country, and if this installation does not lead to a major change.

6. CREDIT

         A credit mechanism is applied for the KPIs indicated above.

         If one of the KPI credit quarterly threshold is met within the quarter,
         and if this situation is confirmed by both Parties, the credit fee will
         be equal to:

         $100 X number of Working Days within a quarter where the KPI credit
         threshold is exceeded. This KPI credit is only applicable to the number
         of days outside the KPI.

         If the threshold for the KPI exceeds 15 consecutive Working Days, the
         above credit allowance will be increased to $200 per Working Day for
         each additional day after the initial 15 day period.

       No Credit shall be granted if the malfunction of the Service is due to:

         (i)      An outage or other defect occurring in FT managed equipment.
         (ii)     An outage due to Force Majeure.
         (iii) An outage imputed to Newco, its employees its Sub-Contractor or
         third parties used by Newco acting under this Agreement.

         The Service Improvement Plan (SIP) shall ensure that service failures
         are identified, documented, assigned, and corrected within a committed
         timeframe. The SIP shall also be used after Newco has determined that
         FT has not met its required service performance, or when FT is not
         following the required contract specifications, processes, and
         procedures.

         The need for service improvement shall be determined during the monthly
         and quarterly performance review meetings unless otherwise requested by
         one of the Parties. If it is determined during the monthly or quarterly
         performance meetings that the SIP process must be implemented, a
         problem statement shall be sent to FT for implementation. FT shall
         respond to Newco with a proposed action plan and timetable within 10
         Working Days. Upon Newco's approval, and response from FT, the SIP
         shall be implemented.

                        APPENDIX 8: OPERATION PROCEDURES

This Appendix is for definitional purposes only.

1       FAULT MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES

All Switched Voice Services related Trouble Tickets will be addressed to a
single organization within FT for which a point of contact has to be provided.

This organization will be responsible for managing the outage information and
referring it to the proper internal fix agency, on a 24x7 basis in English.

The proper fix agency will handle switch network component fault isolation and
Newco trouble resolution on a 1st, 2nd and 3rd level support. It will also
report on a regular basis all throughout the process until the problem is
solved.

Resolution's priorities and timeframes taken into account for trouble resolution
are as follows:
- P1 : service restoration under 5 hours
- P2 : service restoration under 8 hours
- P3 : Application usable but with slow response
- P4 : Non-service affecting and proactive notification of out of service

PRIORITY:  describes the severity of a ticket (P1-P4) based on customer/network
impact. Used to determine order of tickets worked and allocation of resources.

- PRIORITY 1 - Newco single connection outage or Connection down without
  alternate route or Tandem host/application down or Server Outage

- PRIORITY 2 - Partial single customer outage or Connection down with alternate
  route available

- PRIORITY 3 - Transient/degraded service or Slow or degraded service or Slow
  response or delays or Server problem with work around

- PRIORITY 4 - No customer impact or Monitoring or Documentation or Cards on
  backup or Chronic ticket


2      PROVISIONING PROCEDURES

Switched Voice Services provisioning activities and any related projects to be
performed by FT will be requested through a single point of contact, who will in
turn, refer the requirements to the appropriate organization within FT.

This specific FT organization will then perform any activity relevant to the
Voice provisioning process, to include: Order entry interface, Configuration
(table building and translation), Testing, etc.. It will also report on a
regular basis all throughout the project until acceptance and hand-over to
operations.
