                          MARKETING SERVICES AGREEMENT

         THIS MARKETING SERVICES AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made between
OWNERTEL, INC. ("OwnerTel") and TRANSNET CONNECT, INC. ("TransNet") on
September 21, 2001 (the "Effective Date"). In consideration of the premises and
the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

         SECTION 1.        SERVICES.

                  (a)      MARKETING SERVICES. Subject to the terms and
         conditions of this Agreement, TransNet will exclusively retain
         OwnerTel to provide marketing services with respect to TransNet's
         reselling of local and long distance telephone and internet service.
         Nothing contained in this agreement shall be construed to impose an
         exclusivity obligation upon OwnerTel with regard to the provision of
         services.

                  (b)      MARKETING MATERIALS. No marketing materials shall be
         used without the prior written approval of TransNet. TransNet also has
         the right to provide to OwnerTel or approve guidelines regarding
         marketing activities conducted on behalf of TransNet. OwnerTel shall
         instruct and supervise its representatives in the use of such
         marketing materials and in adherence to such guidelines. OwnerTel and
         its representatives shall not deviate from the materials and
         guidelines provided or approved by TransNet.

                  (c)      QUALITY AND COMPLIANCE. OwnerTel shall (i) perform
         its obligations hereunder with care, skill and diligence in accordance
         with applicable standards recognized in OwnerTel's industry; (ii)
         comply fully with the quality control standards provided by TransNet;
         and (iii) obtain all necessary consents, licenses, releases or other
         authorizations for the use of all materials in the work produced
         hereunder.

                  (d)      OWNERTEL RESPONSIBILITIES. OwnerTel: (i) will not
         misrepresent its relationship with TransNet; (ii) is solely
         responsible for its own costs and expenses of performance hereunder
         except as specifically herein set forth herein; (iii) shall be solely
         responsible for the acts and omissions of its employees and shall have
         sole responsibility for their supervision, direction and control, as
         appropriate; and (iv) shall conduct business in a manner that reflects
         favorably at all times on the reputation of OwnerTel.

                  (e)      LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

                           (i)      OwnerTel agrees to indemnify and hold
                  TransNet and its affiliates harmless from any and all claims
                  damages and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees
                  and costs) arising or resulting directly from any loss or
                  damage to TransNet due to a material breach by OwnerTel of
                  any representation, covenant or warranty contained in this
                  Agreement or the grossly negligent act or omission

<PAGE>   2

                  or willful misconduct of OwnerTel, its officers, agents and
                  employees in performance of its duties under this Agreement.

                           (ii)     TransNet agrees to indemnify and hold
                  OwnerTel, its parent and affiliates harmless from any and all
                  claims, damages and liabilities (including reasonable
                  attorneys fees and costs) arising or resulting directly from
                  any loss or damage to OwnerTel due to the material breach by
                  TransNet of any representation, covenant or warranty
                  contained in this Agreement or from the grossly negligent act
                  or omission of TransNet, its officers, agents and employees
                  in performance of its duties under this Agreement. TransNet
                  retains sole responsibility for customer satisfaction and
                  compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws
                  and regulations regarding all products or services provided
                  to Recipients by TransNet. TransNet shall defend, indemnify,
                  and hold OwnerTel, its shareholders, officers and directors,
                  harmless from and against any and all losses, damages,
                  claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable
                  attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to the products
                  or services that TransNet provides.

         SECTION 2.        COMPENSATION.

                  (a)      TransNet agrees to pay OwnerTel the following
         amounts on all services sold by OwnerTel:

                       [Confidential Treatment Requested]

         TransNet will make all of the above payments on a monthly basis.

                  (b)      During the term of this Agreement, OwnerTel agrees
         that TransNet's current long distance telephone customer base, and all
         new customers of TransNet, will participate in OwnerTel's Promotional
         Stock Program (the "Program") on the same terms and conditions as
         customers of OwnerTel; provided that, OwnerTel agrees to apply the
         Program retroactively to TransNet's customers for purposes of
         determining the number of shares they shall receive under the Program.
         Prior to OwnerTel's registration statement on Form SB-2 (the
         "Registration Statement") becoming effective, TransNet shall deliver
         to OwnerTel a detailed schedule containing the name and address of
         TransNet's customers and the number of OwnerTel shares each such
         customer has earned under the Program. OwnerTel agrees to issue its
         shares of common stock to TransNet's customers as soon as practicable
         after its Registration Statement becomes effective. Notwithstanding
         the foregoing, TransNet acknowledges that the Program is dependent
         upon the Registration Statement becoming effective, and if the
         Registration Statement shall not become effective, for any reason,
         this provision of this Agreement shall be null and void; however, the
         remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

         SECTION 3.        CONFIDENTIALITY.

                  (a)      Each party agrees to maintain in confidence any
         information that it may obtain from the other in the course of this
         Agreement. Each party shall use such information solely for the
         purposes contemplated by this Agreement and, except as

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

         required by applicable law or regulation, shall not disclose such
         information to any third party. The foregoing does not apply to
         information that (i) is, at the time of disclosure to the recipient,
         or thereafter becomes, through no act or omission of the recipient, a
         part of the public domain; (ii) was in the recipient's lawful
         possession without an accompanying secrecy obligation prior to the
         disclosure; (iii) is hereafter lawfully disclosed to the recipient by
         a third party without an accompanying secrecy obligation or breach of
         any duty or agreement by which such third party is bound; or (iv) is
         independently developed by the recipient. TransNet and OwnerTel shall
         also be permitted to disclose information (A) to auditors, examiners
         and professional advisors; and (B) as required by law, subpoena or
         court order. Notwithstanding if such information is or becomes
         lawfully in the public domain, the receiving party shall maintain the
         confidentiality of any information which includes the identities of
         the disclosing party's consumers according to this Section. Breach of
         this section shall give rise to irreparable injury, inadequately
         compensable in damages. Accordingly, either party may seek injunctive
         relief against the breach or threatened breach by the other of either
         such section, in addition to such legal remedies as may be available,
         including the recovery of damages.

                  (b)      To the extent that OwnerTel receives nonpublic
         personal information concerning consumers, OwnerTel agrees: (i) to
         maintain the confidentiality of such information; (ii) not to, in any
         event, sell, rent or lease such information to any third party; (iii)
         not to use or reproduce such information for any purpose other than as
         contemplated by this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by applicable
         regulation; and (iv) to return any such information to TransNet on
         demand. Nonpublic personal information includes, without limitation,
         all information consumers provide in an application for TransNet's
         products or services.

                  (c)      Section 3 shall survive termination of this
         Agreement.

         SECTION 4.        TERM AND TERMINATION. The initial term of this
Agreement shall be for a period of one (1) year commencing on the Effective
Date. Thereafter, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive
terms of one (1) year each unless either party shall give the other written
notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to renewal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, OwnerTel or TransNet may terminate this
Agreement in the event that:

                  (a)      proceedings in bankruptcy are instituted by or
         against the other party, or the other party terminates its business
         activities for any other reason; or

                  (b)      there is a material breach of, or material failure
         to comply with, any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement by
         the other party which breach or failure is not remedied within thirty
         (30) days after notice of such breach or failure.

         SECTION 5.        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Party
represents that it has full power to enter into and complete the transactions
required hereunder, and that this Agreement is enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, and that the activities contemplated hereunder do
not conflict with or constitute a breach of or default under any contracts or
commitments to which it is a party.
