SCHEDULE A-1

PAYMENT FOR SERVICES
AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES

     A. For the services to be rendered and performed by Company during the term
of the  Agreement,  Client  shall pay to  Company  the sum of  $5,000  per month
payable in cash  and/or  shares.  Client  will add 20% to all fees for paying in
shares  rather than cash.  If the Client  decides to pay for the entire base fee
with 100% shares vs. cash, the Client must also issue three months worth of base
fees at the signing of this agreement in those shares. The amount of shares will
be  determined by the bid price at the date of this  contract.  The Company will
keep an  accounting  of the sales of stock and deduct  those sales from the base
fee per month owed.  If those sales exceed the monthly  fee,  the excess  amount
will be  credited  to the next  month's  monthly  fee.  If there are not  enough
dollars in shares to cover the $5,000  monthly  fee,  the Client will either pay
additional  shares or cover the  deficit or the Client  will pay the  deficit in
cash for that particular month. Client will initially register 200,000 shares to
cover services and expenses for the term of the contract.

B.  Client  shall  also  reimburse  Company  for all  reasonable  and  necessary
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of its duties for Client upon
presentation of statements setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such
expenses.  Company  shall not incur any expense for any single item in excess of
$250 either  verbally or written  except upon the prior  approval of the Client.
Company  agrees that any travel,  entertainment  or other  expense  which it may
incur and  which may be  referable  to more than one of its  clients  (including
Client)  will be  prorated  among the  clients  for whom such  expense  has been
incurred.  Shares will be accepted for payment of expenses in the same manner as
the base fee per month in Paragraph A above.

SCHEDULE A-2 (OPTIONAL)

GRANT OF OPTIONS TO NATIONAL FINANCIAL COMMUNICATIONS CORP.  IN ADVANCE
OF SERVICES RENDERED*

A. Grant of Options and Option Exercise Price. As compensation  for the services
to be  rendered  by  Company  hereunder,  Client  herewith  issues and grants to
Company stock options (the "Options") to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares
of Client's  Common Stock at an exercise  price of $1.00 per share.  The Options
are exercisable upon and subject to the terms and conditions  contained  herein.
The Options are exercisable  during the period commencing on the date hereof and
ending three years subsequent to the termination date of this Agreement.

B. Manner of  Exercise.  Exercise  of any of the Options by Company  shall be by
written notice to Client  accompanied  by Company's  certified or bank check for
the purchase  price of the shares being  purchased.  Upon receipt of such notice
and payment, Client shall promptly cause to be issued, without transfer or issue
tax to the option  holder or other person  entitled to exercise the option,  the
number of shares for which the Option has been exercised, registered in the name
of Company. Such shares, when issued, shall be fully paid and non-assessable.

C. Option Shares. Company acknowledges that any shares which it may acquire from
Client pursuant to the exercise of the Options provided for herein will not have
been  registered  pursuant  to the  Securities  Act of  1933,  as  amended  (the
"Securities  Act"),  and  therefore  may not be sold or  transferred  by Company
except in the event that such shares are the subject of a registration statement
or any future sale or transfer is, in the opinion of counsel for Client,  exempt
from such registration provisions. Company acknowledges that any shares which it
may acquire  pursuant to the exercise of the Options will be for its own account
and  for  investment  purposes  only  and  not  with a view  to  the  resale  or
redistribution  of same.  Company further  consents that the following legend be
placed upon all  certificates  for shares of Common Stock which may be issued to
Company upon the exercise of the Options:

     "THE SHARES  REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
     THE  SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
     OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
     UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT
     SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."

Company further consents that no stop transfer instructions being placed against
all certificates may not be issued to it upon the exercise of the Options.

     (i) If the Client executes a Registration  during the term of the contract,
then the Company's  shares will be added to this  Registration at no cost to the
Company.  The Client  shall  bear all costs and  expenses  attributable  to such
registration,   excluding  fees  and  expenses  of  Company's  counsel  and  any
underwriting or selling  commission.  Client shall maintain the effectiveness of
such registration throughout the term of this Agreement and for a 120 day period
thereafter.

     (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Options are not otherwise registered under the Securities Act and the Client
shall at any time after the date hereof propose to file a registration statement
under the Securities Act, which  registration  statement shall include shares of
Common  Stock of Client or any selling  shareholder,  Client  shall give written
notice to Company  of such  proposed  registration  and will  permit  Company to
include in such registration all Shares which it has

                                       148

<PAGE>



acquired  as of the date of such  notice.  The  Client  shall bear all costs and
expenses  attributable  to such  registration,  excluding  fees and  expenses of
Company's counsel and any underwriting or selling commission.

D.   Adjustments in Option Shares.

     (i) In the event that Client shall at any time  sub-divide its  outstanding
shares of Common  Stock  into a greater  number of shares,  the Option  purchase
price in effect prior to such sub-division shall be proportionately  reduced and
the  number  of  shares of Common  Stock  purchasable  shall be  proportionately
increased.  In case the  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock of Client shall be
combined into a smaller  number of shares,  the Option  purchase price in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable shall be proportionately reduced.

     (ii) In case of any  reclassification  or change of  outstanding  shares of
Common Stock  issuable  upon  exercise of this Option  (other than change in par
value,  or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or
as a result or a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or
merger of the Client with or into  another  corporation  (other than a merger in
which the Client is the continuing  corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification  or change of outstanding  shares of Common Stock, other than a
change in number of the shares  issuable upon exercise of the Option) or in case
of any sale or conveyance to another  corporation  of the property of the Client
as an entirety or substantially as an entirety,  the Holder of this Option shall
have the right  thereafter  to exercise  this Option into the kind and amount of
shares  of  stock  and  other  securities  and  property  receivable  upon  such
reclassification,  change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder
of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Client for which the Option might
have  been  exercised  immediately  prior  to  such  reclassification,   change,
consolidation,  merger, sale or conveyance. The above provisions shall similarly
apply to successive  reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and
to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

     (iii) The Company  reserves  the right to assign  these  options to a third
party at its own discretion.

     exercise.  If the contract is cancelled by the client,  any credit with the
     client will become an asset of NFC and any  unexercised  options  remaining
