herein, the parties agree as follows:


         1.   Employment and Duties.

         (a)  iLink agrees to employ the Executive as its Chairman of the Board
              and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive accepts such
              employment and agrees to perform all duties and services
              consistent with the Executive's position. The Executive shall be
              the highest ranking official of iLink and shall hold the highest
              executive authority within iLink

         (b)  9278 agrees to employ the Executive as its Chairman of the Board
              and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive accepts such
              employment and agrees to perform all duties and services

              Executive's business time, attention and energy to perform the
              Executive's duties and services hereunder; provided, however, that
              the Executive may conduct other projects which do not detract a
              significant amount of the Executive's time and attention from his
              duties and services hereunder. The Executive shall not be required
              to perform his duties hereunder at a location other than at the

              Company to be held during the Employment Period (as defined
              below), and to recommend to the shareholders of such Company to
              vote their shares in favor of the election of the Executive as a
              director of such Company at all such meetings. The Executive
              agrees to serve as a director of each Company for no additional
              consideration, except as may be provided to all directors
              generally.

         2. Term of Employment. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof
and end on the third anniversary of the date hereof, unless sooner terminated as
provided in Section 5 hereof, and subject to extension as hereinafter provided
(the "EMPLOYMENT PERIOD"). At the expiration of the initial three (3) year
Employment Period, and any extension thereof, the Employment Period shall
automatically be extended, without any action on the part of either Company or
the Executive for an additional period of one (1) year, unless a Company shall
have submitted a written notice of non-extension to the Executive or the
Executive shall have submitted a written notice of non-extension to one or both
of the Companies, in each case not less than four (4) months prior to the
expiration of the then scheduled Employment Period.


         3.  Compensation and Benefits.

         3.1 Base Salary. ILink shall pay the Executive a base salary per annum
("BASE SALARY") in each year of Employment Period as follows:

                    YEAR                             BASE SALARY
                    ----                             -----------
                   First                              $200,000
                   Second                             $225,000
                   Third                              $250,000

         The Base Salary may be increased from time to time in the sole
discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of iLink and
in any event will be increased annually to reflect corresponding increases in
the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer
Price Index, All Urban Consumers, United States City Average. The Base Salary
shall be payable at such intervals as salaries are paid by iLink to its other
executive employees.

         3.2 Cash Bonuses and Stock Option Grants. In addition to the Base
Salary, with respect to each fiscal year during the Employment Period, iLink
shall compensate the Executive with cash bonuses and stock option grants in
amounts to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of iLink, in its sole discretion, based upon, among other things, the growth of
such Company through acquisitions, iLink's economic performance and, if iLink's
Common Stock is publicly traded, increases in the market price of iLink's Common
Stock.

         3.3 Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to participate in all plans adopted for the general benefit of iLink's
employees or executive employees, such as pension plans, medical plans,
investment plans and group or other insurance plans and benefits, to the extent
that the Executive is and remains eligible to participate therein and subject to
the eligibility provisions of such plans in effect from time to time. The
Executive shall be reimbursed for his reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in the performance of his duties upon submission of appropriate evidence thereof
in conformity with iLink's normal company policy.

         3.4 Automobile. The Companies shall lease a luxury automobile for the
exclusive use and benefit of the Executive. If an automobile is currently leased
by either Company for the benefit of the Executive, the replacement automobile
shall be of a type similar to the one currently leased. The lease shall contain
a clause allowing the Executive to purchase the automobile at the termination of
the term of the lease.

         3.5 Indemnification. Each Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Executive to the full extent permitted by the corporate law and
other relevant statutes in the applicable jurisdiction of incorporation. Each
Company agrees to advance to the Executive, as and when incurred by the
Executive, all costs and expenses arising from any claim as to which such
Company is providing indemnification hereunder.


         4. Vacation. For each year during the Employment Agreement, the
Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with iLink's standard
policy, but in no event shall the Executive be entitled to less than four (4)
weeks vacation per annum.

         5. Termination.

         5.1 Death. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the death
of the Executive, whereupon the Companies shall be obligated to pay to the
Executive's estate any unpaid Base Salary through the date of death and Bonus,
if any, as determined by the Board of Directors. Amounts payable under this
Section 5.1 shall be payable at the times and intervals set forth in Sections
3.1 and 3.2 hereof.

         5.2 Disability. The Companies shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement during the continuance of any Disability of the Executive, as
hereafter defined, upon fifteen (15) days' prior notice to the Executive during
the continuance of the Disability. "Disability" for purposes of this Section 5.2
shall mean an inability by the Executive to perform a substantial portion of the
Executive's duties hereunder by reason of physical or mental incapacity or
disability for a total of one hundred eighty (180) days or more in any
consecutive period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days, as determined by
the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment. In the event of a termination
by reason of the Executive's Disability, the Companies shall be obligated to pay
the Executive any unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination,


                                       -3-




<PAGE>




and Bonus, if any, as determined by the Board of Directors. Amounts payable
under this Section 5.2 shall be payable at the times and intervals set forth in
Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof.

         5.3 Termination by the Company for Due Cause. Nothing herein shall
prevent a Company from terminating Executive's employment for Due Cause.
Executive shall continue to receive salary for the period ending with the date
of such termination as provided in this Section 5.3. Any rights and benefits he
may have in respect of any other compensation or employee benefit plans or
programs of such Company shall be determined in accordance with the terms of
such other compensation arrangements or such other plans or programs.

         The term "Due Cause", as used herein, shall mean that (a) the Executive
has committed a willful, serious act, such as embezzlement, against the Company
intending to enrich himself at the expense of the Company or (b) the Executive,
in carrying out his duties hereunder, has been guilty of willful, gross
negligence resulting in either case in material harm to the Company (this
provision shall not apply to any particular instance which is merely the result
of any good faith error in judgment), (c) the willful and continued failure by
Executive to substantially perform his duties with the Company (other than any
such failure resulting from Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental
illness), after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive
by the Board which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board
believes that Executive has not substantially performed his duties, or (d) the
willful engaging by Executive in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably
injurious to the Company. For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to
act, on Executive's part shall be considered "willful"unless done, or omitted
to be done, by Executive, not in good faith and without reasonable belief that
Executive's action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed
to have been terminated for Due Cause unless and until there shall have been
delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of
not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the entire membership of the Board at a
meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to
Executive and an opportunity for Executive, together with his counsel, to be
heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board,
Executive was guilty of conduct set forth above and specifying the particulars
thereof in detail.

                  5.4 Termination by the Company other than for Due Cause. The
foregoing notwithstanding, a Company may terminate the Executive's employment
for whatever reason it deems appropriate, provided, however, that in the event
such termination is not due to permanent disability as provided in Section 5.2,
or based on Due Cause as provided in Section 5.3, the Executive will continue to
receive his Base Salary as provided in Section 3 for the remaining Term of the
Agreement (as it may be extended), but in no event for more than thirty-five
(35) months or less than twenty-four (24) months from the date of such
termination. During the period of salary continuation hereunder, the Executive
will be entitled to continued benefit coverage and benefit credits as provided
in Section 3 hereof or the economic equivalent.

         (a)  "Good Reason" shall mean:

              (i)  Without Executive's express written consent, the assignment
                   to Executive of any duties inconsistent with his positions,

                   change in his reporting responsibilities, title or offices,
                   or any removal of Executive from or any failure to re-elect
                   him to any of such positions, except in connection with the
                   termination of his employment for Due Cause, Disability or
                   Retirement or as a result of his death, or by Executive other
                   than for Good Reason;

             (ii)  A reduction in Executive's Base Salary or benefits or a
                   breach of the Company's obligations undertaken in this
                   Agreement;

            (iii)  In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control, this
                   Agreement may be terminated by Executive upon the occurrence
                   thereafter of one or more of the following events (in
                   addition to those enumerated above):

                       immediately prior to a Change in Control;

                   (B) A significant adverse change in the nature or scope of
                       the authorities, powers, functions, responsibilities or
                       duties attached to the position with the Company which

                   (b) The Executive covenants and agrees that the Executive
will not, at any time during or after the termination of the Executive's
relationship with the Companies, reveal, divulge, or make known to any person,
firm or corporation, any Confidential Information made known to the Executive or
of which the Executive has become aware, regardless of whether developed,
prepared, devised or otherwise created in whole or in part by the efforts of the
Executive, except and to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to carry
out the Executive's duties for a Company. The Executive further covenants and
agrees that the Executive shall retain all Confidential Information in trust for
the sole benefit of the respective Company, and will not divulge or deliver or
show any Confidential Information to any unauthorized person including, without
limitation, any other employer of the Executive.

              6.2 Non-Competition. 9278 is in the business of wholesaling
prepaid phone cards (the "BUSINESS"). Executive acknowledges and the highly
competitive nature of the industry in which the Business is involved.
Accordingly, in consideration of the premises contained herein, the
consideration to be received hereunder, stock options to be granted Executive,
Executive shall not, during the Non-Competition Period (as defined below): (i)
directly or indirectly engage, whether or not such engagement shall be as a
partner, stockholder, affiliate or other participant, in any Competitive
Business (as defined below), or represent in any way any Competitive Business,
whether or not such engagement or representation shall be for profit providing
services to customers of iLink or its affiliates; (ii) interfere with, disrupt
or attempt to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between iLink
or 9278 and any other person or entity, including, without limitation, any
customer, supplier, employee or consultant iLink or 9278; (iii) induce any
employee of iLink or 9278 to terminate his employment with such Company or to
engage in any Competitive Business in any manner described in the foregoing
clause (i) (as well as an officer or director of any Competitive Business); or
(iv) affirmatively assist or induce any other person or entity to engage in any
Competitive Business in any manner described in the foregoing clause (i) (as
well as an officer or director of any Competitive Business). Anything contained
in this Section 6.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, an investment by Executive
in any publicly-traded company in which Executive and his affiliates exercise no
operational or strategic control and which constitutes less than 5% of the
capital of such entity shall not constitute a breach of this Section 6.2.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
Executive shall not be prohibited from serving as a non-employee director of any
other business entity during the Non-Competition Period; provided, however, that
such service does not constitute an impermissible conflict of interest under the
law of the applicable jurisdiction of incorporation


                                       -9-

and does not interfere in any material respect with Executive's ability to
perform his duties hereunder.

         As used herein, "Non-Competition Period" shall mean the period
commencing on the date hereof and terminating on the Termination Date; provided,
however, that if the Term of Employment shall have been terminated by the
Company, pursuant to Section 5.3, or by the Executive other than pursuant to
Section 5.5, then "Non-Competition Period" shall mean the period commencing on
the date hereof and ending on the first anniversary of the Termination Date.
"Competitive Business" shall mean any business in any State of the United States
in any line of business in which the iLink or 9278 was engaged or had a formal
written plan to enter as of the Termination Date.

         Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his
ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the
Company, but he nevertheless believes that he has received and will receive
sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee of the Company and as
otherwise provided hereunder and pursuant to other agreements between the
Company and Executive to justify clearly such restrictions which, in any event
(given his education, skills and ability), Executive does not believe would
prevent him from earning a living.

         If at any time the provisions of this Section 6 shall be determined to
be invalid or unenforceable, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to
area, duration or scope of activity, this Section 6 shall be considered
divisible and shall become and be immediately amended to only such area,
duration and scope of activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and
enforceable by the court or other body having jurisdiction over the matter; and
the Executive agrees that this Section 6 as so amended shall be valid and
binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included
herein.

         7. Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges that iLink or 9278 will
suffer substantial and irreparable damages not readily ascertainable or
compensable in terms of money in the event of the breach of any of the
Executive's obligations under Section 6 and hereof. The Executive therefore
agrees that the provisions of Section 6 shall be construed as an agreement
independent of the other provisions of this Agreement and any other agreement
and that iLink or 9278, in addition to any other remedies (including damages)
provided by law, shall have the right and remedy to have such provisions
specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction thereof. The
rights and remedies set forth in this Section 7 shall be in addition to, and not
in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to such Company under law or
equity.

the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.

otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a
further or continuing waiver of any such breach or a waiver of any other term or

attorney's fees and expenses and all other reasonable costs and expenses of the

prevailing party in respect of all the claims alleged by such party, the

deems just and equitable under the circumstances. Except as provided above, each

Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not control the
construction or interpretation of any provisions hereof. The words "herein,"
"hereof," "hereunder" and words of similar import, when used anywhere in this

is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
