                              CAPACITY AGREEMENT


THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between Verizon Northwest Inc.
(f/k/a GTE Northwest Incorporated) (hereinafter "VERIZON") and CyPost
Corporation (hereinafter "CYPOST") for VERIZON to provide certain
telecommunications capacity to CYPOST outside of VERIZON's filed exchanges.
VERIZON and CYPOST are sometimes referred to collectively as the "Parties" or
individually as a "Party".

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the
Parties hereby agree as follows:


1.0       Provision of Service - VERIZON will provide CYPOST the circuit
          facilities (the "Services") described in the Service Attachment from
          the border of VERIZON's filed exchanges to CYPOST's facilities or
          access provider's facilities located at 2001 6th Avenue, Seattle,
          Washington, located out of VERIZON's filed exchanges.

          1.1       For the Service identified in the Service Attachment, CYPOST
                    will submit an Access Service Request ("ASR") form to
                    provision the Services and to specify the in-service date
                    within thirty (30) days of execution of this Agreement
                    unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both Parties.

                    1.1.1     In the event CYPOST elects to order additional
                              capacity from locations set forth in Schedule One
                              subsequent to execution of this Agreement, CYPOST
                              will submit an ASR form to provision circuits and
                              to specify the in-service date. Each such accepted
                              ASR shall form a part of this Agreement subject to
                              the terms and conditions hereof. Additional
                              capacity requiring special construction shall
                              require an Addendum to this Agreement.

          1.2       The Parties mutually agree to adopt the provisions of the
                    GTOC Tariff FCC No. 1 (to include changes to the tariff that
                    are made during the term of this Agreement) for the services
                    covered by this Agreement, except as otherwise stated in
                    this Agreement. (Note: The GTOC Tariff FCC No. 1, including
                    applicable rates and charges, will govern for service
                    located in VERIZON's filed exchanges.) The parties deem the
                    services to be jurisdictionally interstate.


          1.3       When Service is delivered on or after the committed due date
                    of the ASR by VERIZON, billing will either commence on the
                    date of CYPOST acceptance of the Service or, if CYPOST is
                    not ready to accept the Service, CYPOST agrees to accept
                    commencement of billing by the 1st day of the month
                    following the date of VERIZON's notification to CYPOST of
                    the Service completion, whichever is sooner.

2.0       Term, Termination and Effective Date

          2.1       This Agreement shall become effective on the date this
                    Agreement is fully executed by both Parties and shall

                    After the Initial Term this Agreement will continue in
                    effect until either Party gives the other Party at least
                    ninety (90) calendar days' prior written notice of
                    termination of the Agreement. The service term for each
                    Service set forth in the Service Attachment shall begin on
                    the in

          2.2       In the event of termination of this Agreement by VERIZON
                    after the Initial Term of the Agreement, any Service
                    Commitment Term which extends beyond the effective date of
                    such termination shall remain in effect for the agreed upon
                    time period, as outlined in the Service Attachment,
                    subsequent Addendums, and/or ASRs, subject to all of the

                    ("NRC") for initial service installation. VERIZON sonet
                    transport is not usage based.

          3.2       Additional capacity added subsequent to the execution of
                    this Agreement by ASR will be treated as an addendum and
                    charges for the Services outlined in Schedule One will be

                                      -3-                        January 4, 2001
<PAGE>
                    responsible for ensuring that VERIZON has access to the
                    facilities for maintenance and provisioning of Service.

          4.2       Creation of specific Common Language Location Identification

5.0       Responsibilities of VERIZON - In addition to the obligations described
          elsewhere in this Agreement and as set out in the GTOC Tariff FCC No.
          1, VERIZON will be responsible for:

          5.1       Testing and maintaining the circuits provided under this
                    Agreement based on VERIZON standards.

          5.2       Maintenance of engineering and equipment hardware assignment
                    records associated with the out-of-franchise facility.

          5.3       Notifying CYPOST fifteen (15) calendar days in advance of
                    any scheduled maintenance or installation activity that
                    could affect the quality of Service being provided to
                    CYPOST. This notification does not apply to trouble
                    reporting or day-to-day maintenance activity required to
                    maintain quality Service for all of the customers of
                    VERIZON.

6.0       Joint Cooperative Responsibilities - VERIZON and CYPOST will work
          cooperatively on the following items:

          6.1       Repair testing and fault isolation to identify the location

          6.2       Both Parties agree to provide to the other contact lists and
                    trouble escalation requirements for trouble report
                    resolution.

          6.3       Both Parties will work together to provide sufficient
                    information required to resolve reported troubles. It is
                    recognized that trouble can exist in either Party's network
                    and that the information provided by a party will conform to
                    the other's existing system and infrastructure platforms.
                    The information reported by a party will be specific to
                    individual network troubles. Trouble reports by a party will
                    not need to conform to the automated format of the other
                    party's trouble-reporting system.

7.0       Maintenance of Service

          7.1       Upon discovering trouble in the Service, each Party will use
                    commerically reasonable efforts to isolate and repair the
                    service trouble if determined to be in its network. Each
                    Party will assist the other in isolating and clearing
                    reported trouble so as to expedite the restoration of
                    Service.

          7.2       VERIZON is responsible for maintaining and managing the
                    network provided by VERIZON as part of the Service. VERIZON
                    may apply protective network management controls as a result
                    of unexpected occurrences including, but not limited to,
                    failure or overload of VERIZON or CYPOST facilities due to
                    natural disaster or national security demands.

          7.3       VERIZON reserves the right to groom facilities onto or off
                    of various facilities it controls. VERIZON may choose to
                    groom the entire traffic onto a different transmission
                    system.

<PAGE>
                    VERIZON will notify CYPOST thirty (30) calendar days prior
                    to such an event and will work to minimize operational
                    impacts.

8.0       Assignment

          Except for assignments and delegations to a parent company, a wholly
          owned subsidiary, or a wholly owned subsidiary of a parent company,
          which shall not require consent of the other Party, any assignment by
          either Party of any right, obligation or duty, in whole or in part,
          interest hereunder shall be void without the written consent of the
          other Party. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. All
          obligations and duties of any Party under this Agreement shall be
          binding on all successors in interest and permitted assigns of such
          Party.

9.0       Amendment and Waivers

          This Agreement, including any exhibits or attachments hereto, may be
          modified or additional provisions may be added by written agreement
          signed by or on behalf of both Parties. No amendment or waiver of any
          provision of this Agreement and no consent to any default under this
          Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
          signed by both parties. In addition, no course of dealing or failure
          of any Party to strictly enforce any term, right or condition of this
          Agreement shall be construed as a modification or waiver of such term,
          right, or condition. In the event VERIZON and CYPOST subsequently
          agree that VERIZON shall provide additional or enhanced services not
          otherwise described in this Agreement, then the Parties will, by
          appropriate addenda, provide for such services and their cost and make
          the same subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

10.0      No Offer

          Submission of this Agreement for examination or signature does not
          constitute an offer by VERIZON for the provision of the Services
          described herein. This Agreement shall be effective only upon
          execution by both Parties as provided in Section 2.1.

11.0      Governing Law

          This Agreement is to be governed and construed according to the laws
          of the State of Washington, excluding its choice of law rules.


          *Tariffs under the GTE name continue to be applicable to the companies
