                  International Carrier Voice Service Agreement
                        Appendix A. Terms and Conditions

1.       PROVISION OF SERVICE

1.1      Service Order. By executing the Service Order to Which these Terms and
         Conditions are attached, FCI agrees to provide, and Customer agrees to
         purchase, switched International telecommunications services and other
         associated services (collectively "Service"), pursuant to the Terms and
         Conditions set forth in this Appendix A and in any attachments
         incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

1.2      Term of Service. This Agreement shall be effective and the parties'
         obligations shall commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement as
         set forth on the Service Order and shall continue for a period of one
         year ("initial term") from Service Commencement Date, which is the date
         that the circuits(s) are first made available to Customer for Service,
         unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this
         Agreement.

1.3      Automatic Renewal. Services shall be automatically renewed at
         expiration of the initial term for a one (1) year period ("Subsequent
         Term"), unless terminated by either party giving the other party
         written notice of intent not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to
         expiration of the initial or any subsequent term. Each Subsequent Term
         shall automatically renew, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
         the provisions of this Agreement, for a one (1) year period upon
         expiration of the preceding Subsequent Term. Each Subsequent Term that
         is renewed shall be subject to such Terms and Conditions as FCI may
         then be offering, or willing to offer, to potential Customers.

1.4      Circuit Availability. FCI shall use its best efforts to make the
         circuits(s) available to Customer for Service within thirty (30) days
         of the Effective Date of this Agreement. If FCI does not make the
         circuit(s) available to Customer within (30) days of the Effective
         Date, and such delay is not requested or caused by Customer, Customer
         may cancel this Agreement without liability upon written notice to FCI
         prior to Service Commencement Date. If Customer cancels this Agreement
         or any separate Service Order to this Agreement prior to Service
         Commencement Date except as provided herein, Customer will be charged
         for the non-recoverable portions of expenditures or liabilities
         incurred expressly on behalf of Customer by FCI. Traffic must start
         within forty five (45) days of Service Commencement Date, or FCI may
         cancel all circuit(s) interconnection upon five (5) days advance
         written notice, without any liability or obligation whatsoever.

1.5      Interconnection. Customer is responsible for arranging and the expense
         of installing and operating the interconnection between Customer's
         network and the FCI network at FCI's Point of Presence in compliance
         with FCI's network interface procedures. At Customer's request, FCI
         will coordinate interconnection and bill Customer for installation and
         operation of Interconnection. Non-usage charges include recurring and
         non-recurring elements. The recurring element is a monthly
         non-discriminatory charge relevant to customer's use of local serving
         arrangement with local exchange company. Non-recurring elements consist
         of an Installation charge of $250,000 per DS-1 plus any third party
         charges which may be billed to FCI relative to Customer's interconnect
         request. Third party interconnect charges billed to FCI are passed
         directly on to Customer and may be subject to adjustment from time to
         time. Customer's obligation to accept and pay for non-usage sensitive
         charges as describe herein shall be binding.

<PAGE>

1.6      Switchless Reseller. The Switchless Resale Customer is responsible for
         direct negotiation, contracting and provisioning of service with local
         exchange carrier (LEC) and/or FCI's designated switching services
         provider.

1.7      FCI's Access. FCI reserves the right, but not the obligation, to make
         such tests and inspections as necessary to determine that the
         requirements regarding equipment and interconnection are being met in
         the Installation, operation and maintenance of Customer equipment and
         wiring. It is FCIs intention that such tests and Inspections will not
         normally result in Service interruptions or defects. If any such test
         or inspection is of the sort that it could jeopardize any service or
         require the interruption of all or any portion of the Service, FCI
         shall so notify Customer in writing at least four (4) business days
         before such tests or inspection. FCI shall give Customer as much
         advance notice of emergency tests and inspections as is practically and
         reasonably possible under the circumstances.

2.       PAYMENT FOR SERVICE

2.1      Rates.

2.1.1    Payment for Service, applicable to all calls received by FCI from
         Customer, shall be determined by the destination and duration of the
         calls at the per minute rates listed in Appendix B. FCI, at its sole
         discretion and upon seven (7) days advance written notice, may modify
         its rates as it deems necessary. In the event there is any legislation
         affecting rates and the changes are to be implemented in less than (7)
         days, then Customer shall be responsible for any additional charges
         based on the changes in rates. FCI shall notify Customer promptly of
         any such changes.

2.1.2    In the event FCI notifies Customer of an increase in its rates pursuant
         to Section 2.1.1, Customer, upon written notice to FCI prior to the
         effective date of such increase, may cancel that portion of the Service
         affected without liability, except to pay for all charges due FCI at
         the time of cancellation. Minimum Commitment requirements, if
         applicable, shall be amended as necessary for cancellation pursuant to
         this Section 2.1.2

2.2      Volume Discount Minimum Commitment. Beginning with the first full
         calendar month following Service Commencement Date or other ramp-up
         period as may be agreed, Customer shall maintain a monthly Volume
         Discount Minimum Commitment ("Minimum Commitment") level if any is so
         specified on the Service Order and/or any relevant Service Schedule.
         If, in any month, Customer fails to obtain the required monthly
         minimum, for any reason other than an interruption or impairment of
         Service not caused, directly or indirectly by Customer, Customer shall
         pay FCI the difference between the Customer's Minimum Commitment and
         Customer's actual monthly invoiced amount (the "Deficiency Charge").
         Such payment shall be due at the same time payment is due for Service
         provided to Customer, or in the case of cancellation or termination of
         this Agreement, Immediately, in an amount equal to Customer's Minimum
         Commitment that would have become due for the unexpired portion of the
         Term. If Minimum Commitment is in minutes, the Deficiency Charge shall
         be determined by multiplying the shortfall by the average rate per
         minute for the prior month. If Minimum Commitment is country-specific,
         the applicable rate for each country specified shall be used in
         determining minimum monthly commitment amounts.

2.3      Minimum Port Usage. Beginning with the next full calendar month
         following a sixty (60) day Ramp-Up Period from Service Commencement
         Date, Customer will maintain a monthly average loading of traffic per
         DS-1 level interconnection as indicated on the Service Order.

<PAGE>

2.4      Invoices. Following Service Commencement Date, FCI will bill Customer
         monthly for Services rendered during the prior month. Any applicable
         non-recurring and/or recurring charges not related to monthly usage
         will be listed separately. Invoices will include a minimum, countries
         called, number of calls, total duration of calls in minutes and amount
         charged per country. Call Detail Records (CDR) will be made and
         retained by FCI and will be available monthly at no charge at
         Customer's request. Specialized billing formats and frequency as
         Customer may request will be considered and charged on an individual
         case basis.

2.5      Taxes. All charges set forth in Appendix B for the Services provided
         pursuant to this Agreement are exclusive of sales, use, excise or
         privilege taxes or tax-like charges, fees or similar liabilities.
         Customer will pay all applicable sales, use, excise, privilege or
         similar taxes, except any taxes or tax related surcharges determined by
         FCI's income, net worth, franchise or property (which shall be borne
         solely by FCI) (hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). In the event that
         Customer provides FCI with a direct payment permit, sale or resale
         exemption certificate, sales tax exemption certificate or other
         applicable exemption certificate, FCI will not invoice the taxes
         covered by the exemption certificate(s). If and for so long as such
         exemption certificate is applicable to the Services provided.

2.6      Present Terms

2.6.1    Due Date. Bills are due and payable upon receipt. Payments not received
         within thirty days of invoice date are considered past due.

2.6.2    Late Payment. A delinquency charge (liquidated damages) of one and
         one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum lawful rate under
         applicable state law, whichever is less, will accrue upon any unpaid
         balance commencing thirty (30) days after the date of the bill.
         Customer acknowledges that such delinquency charge is reasonable under
         all the circumstances existing as of the date hereof. Acceptance by FCI
         of any late payment or delinquency charge shall in no event constitute
         a retrieval by FCI of Customer's default, nor shall such acceptance
         prevent FCI from exercising any or all other rights or remedies that it
         may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FCI shall not charge Customer
         late fees on amounts disputed in good faith by Customer unless disputed
         amounts resolved in favor of FCI remain unpaid pursuant to Section 2.8.

2.6.3    Collection. In the event FCI employs the services of a collection
         agency or attorneys for collection of charges due under this Agreement,
         Customer shall be liable for all costs of collection and legal
         proceedings including reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by
         FCI in prosecuting such proceedings and any appeals therefrom.

2.7      Manner of Payment. All payments by Customer hereunder shall be (i) made
         in U.S. dollars; (ii) made by check drawn from currently available
         funds; or by wire transfer, as determined by FCI; (iii) subject to a
         $25.00 return check charge; (iv) duly identified as relating to the
         Service subscribed to' and (v) made payable and delivered to the name
         and address designated on the invoice or such other name and/or
         location as FCI may direct in writing from time to time subject to the
         notice requirements of Section15.

2.8      Billing Disputes.

2.8.1    If Customer in good faith disputes any portion of any FCI invoice,
         Customer shall submit to FCI, within 30 days following the date of the
         invoice, full payment of the undisputed portion of the invoice and
         written documentation identifying and substantiating the disputed
         amount. If Customer

<PAGE>

         does not report a dispute within the 30 day period, Customer shall have
         waived its dispute rights for that invoice. FCI and Customer agree to
         use their respective best efforts to resolve any disputes within
         fifteen (15) days after FCI receives written notice of the dispute from
         customer. Any disputed amounts resolved in favor of the Customer shall
         be credited to the Customer's account on the next invoice following
         resolution of the dispute. Any disputed amounts determined to be
         payable to FCI shall be due within ten (10) days of the resolution of
         the dispute.

2.8.2    Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement which has not
         been resolved by the good faith efforts of the parties, will be settled
         by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the
         commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
         ("AAA Rules"), as amended by this Agreement and judgment upon the award
         rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered by any court with
         jurisdiction. The location of the arbitration shall be Washington, D.C.
         The cost of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the
         arbitrator(s), shall be shared equally by the parties unless the
         arbitration award provides otherwise. Each party shall bear the cost of
         preparing and presenting its case. The arbitrator(s) are not empowered
         to award damages in excess of compensatory damages and each Party
         irrevocably waives any damages in excess of compensatory damages.

2.9      Allowance for Interruptions. Following Service Commencement Date, if
         Customer reports an interruption of Service ("Interruption"), customer
         shall receive credit for service billed for but not provided. Credit to
         Customer shall not apply, however, in the event any interruption is
         caused or contributed to, directly or indirectly, by any act or
         omission of Customer or its customers, affiliates, agents
         representatives, invitees or licensees. In addition, no credit
         allowances will be made for (i) Interruptions during any period which
         FCI or its agents are denied access to the premises where access lines
         associated with Customer's Services are terminated, or (ii) due to the
         failure of power, equipment, systems or services not provided by FCI.
         For the purposes of this paragraph, an Interruption reporting period
         begins when Customer reports an interruption and ends upon the earlier
         to occur of (i) Customer's resumption of use of the Service, and (ii)
         when Service is operative again. If Customer elects to use another
         means of communication during the interruption reporting period,
         Customer must pay the charges for the alternate service used.

3        SECURITY

3.1      FCI's obligation to provide Service under this Agreement is contingent
         upon credit approval by FCI and Customer's acceptance of FCI's initial
         and continuing credit approval procedures and policies. A cash deposit
         and/or irrevocable letter of credit or other form of security in form
         and amount acceptable to FCI shall be paid prior to commencement of
         Service, or, if after Service Commencement Date, within 48 hours
         following FCI's request. After Service Commencement, a deposit or
         additional deposit may also be required in form and amount acceptable
         to FCI if Customer's financial circumstances or payment history
         warrants or in light of Customer's actual usage when compared to
         projected usage levels upon which any initial security or assurance
         requirement was based.

3.2      If Service has been canceled or discontinued for any of the reasons set
         forth in this Agreement, Customer's deposit shall be applied to all
         charges and other amounts then due FCI, including any late fees and
         cancellation charges applicable to the Service offering received by
         Customer. FCI agrees to refund the excess portion of the deposit, if
         any, within (30) days following final settlement of Customer's account.
         The refunding or crediting of Customer's deposit in no way relieves
         Customer from complying with all terms and provisions contained in this
         Agreement or from tendering payments when due.

8.1      This Agreement shall not be assigned or transferred by either Party

         continuance of all necessary governmental licenses, consents, permits,
         authorizations and approvals. Each Party shall use its best efforts to

10.      CONFIDENTIALITY

10.1     Since each Party may have access to the other Party's confidential,

         information, technical data and specifications, marketing information,
         customer and personnel information, and dialing patters ("Proprietary
         Information"), therefore, during the Term and thereafter, neither Party
         shall disclose any terms of this Agreement, including pricing, or
         Proprietary Information of the other Party except as required by law.
         Any disclosure hereof required by legal process shall only be made
         after providing the non-disclosing party with notice thereof in order
         to permit the non-disclosing party to seek an appropriate protective
         order of exemption. Proprietary Information shall remain the property
         of the disclosing Party. A Party receiving Proprietary Information
         shall: (i) use or reproduce such information only when necessary to
         perform this Agreement, (ii) provide at least the same care to avoid
         disclosure or unauthorized use of such information as it provides to
         protect its own Proprietary Information, (iii) limit access to such
         information to its employees or agents who need such information to
         perform this Agreement, and (iv) return or destroy all such
         information, including copies, after the need for it has expired, upon
         request of the disclosing Party, or upon termination of this Agreement.
         Because of the unique nature of Proprietary Information, a breach of
         this paragraph may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages
         may be inadequate compensation. Accordingly, in addition to other
         available remedies, a Party may seek injunctive relief to enforce this
         paragraph.

                             [LOGO] TERMS OF SERVICE

1. TERM AND TERMINATION.

1.1 This Agreement will begin on the Agreement Date and end one year from the
Program Launch ("Term"). The Agreement will automatically renew for additional
one year periods ("Additional Terms") unless terminated in writing by either
party before 90 days prior to the end of the Term or Additional Terms.

1.2 Provided that a party is not in default of any payment or other material
breach, that party may terminate this Agreement upon 60 days written notice (the
"Notice Period") upon any material breach or default of a provision of this
Agreement by the other party. Any termination under this section shall become
effective at the end of the Notice Period unless the party in violation cures
the material breach or default, or has commenced reasonable efforts to cure the
breach or default within such period.

1.3 Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, neither party shall have
any obligation to the other party to compensate them for damages of any kind,
including loss of actual or expected income. Sections 1.3, 3.3, 5, 6, 7.4, 7.5
and 7.6 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

2. BE FREE OBLIGATIONS.

2.1 Be Free represents and warrants that (a) all licensed software is free from
material defects; (b) all services provided hereunder shall, in all material
respects, be performed in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with
specifications; and (c) any software used by Be Free to perform its obligations
hereunder shall record, store, process and present calendar dates falling on or
after January 1, 2000 in substantially the same manner and with substantially
the same degree of performance and functionality as prior to that date.

2.2 The BFAST Service Bureau shall respond to Impression and End User
Clickthrough requests at a rate not greater than the expected peak request rate
with a first-byte latency of less than ninety-five hundredths (0.95) of a
second, as measured at its router nearest its Internet point of presence (the
"Be Free Performance Obligation"). Due to the complexity of the Internet, the
variability of user hardware and software capabilities and the provision of
services to End Users by various providers, Be Free does not guarantee
end-to-end response times or transmission rates.

2.3 For purposes of Section 1.2, a material breach of the Be Free Performance
Obligation shall be a failure to provide those obligations for 72 consecutive
hours.

2.4 Should Be Free fail to provide services in accordance with the Be Free
Performance Obligation for greater than 60 minutes during any calendar day,
whether consecutive or non-consecutive, Be Free shall discount BFAST Service
Fees for that calendar day by 5%.

3. MERCHANT OBLIGATIONS.

3.1 Merchant shall provide Be Free, on a regular basis, with a file that
accurately reflects the merchandise available on the Merchant's Internet site
("Catalog File"). Merchant shall (a) accept and record a transaction identifier
for each End User Clickthrough passed from the BFAST Service Bureau; and (b)
provide Be Free, not less than once each business day, with a file that includes
sales (or other services offered by Merchant) orders, returns or refunds, and
the related transaction identifier ("Transaction File"). The Catalog and
Transaction Files shall be formatted in accordance with Be Free's specifications
and provided via a Be Free approved method.

3.2 Provided that BFAST Service Fees are based on sales or other transactional
data maintained by Merchant, Merchant shall, upon written request and during
normal business hours (but not more frequently than once each calendar year),
provide access to accounting records to an independent accounting firm chosen
and compensated by Be Free, for purposes of an audit. Such accounting firm shall
be required to sign an agreement protecting Merchant's confidential information
and shall only be authorized to report on the fairness of the Merchant's
Transaction File for the period requested. Be Free shall bear the costs of the
auditor unless it is determined by the auditor that there was an error in the
Transaction File resulting in a 5% or greater underpayment of BFAST Service Fees
in any calendar quarter period. In such event, Merchant shall bear the
reasonable costs of the audit for the period requested.

3.3 Unless otherwise specified, Merchant agrees to pay Be Free invoices within
30 days of the invoice date. At Be Free's discretion, any late amounts may be
subject to a 1.5% fee each month. Service fees are invoiced by Be Free for
calendar monthly periods. Fixed and minimum service fees will be invoiced at the
beginning of each calendar month (and pro-rated for the first and last months of
service). Amounts exceeding minimum service fees will be invoiced in the
subsequent month. Merchant shall be responsible for all taxes related to the
transactions contemplated hereunder (except any income taxes of Be Free).

4. INDEMNIFICATION.

4.1 Be Free shall, at its expense, indemnify, defend and hold Merchant harmless
from any and all damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by Merchant arising out of any claim that the services provided by Be
Free hereunder infringe any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other
proprietary right, provided that Merchant (a) promptly notifies Be Free in
writing of any such claim; (b) gives Be Free full control of the defense and
settlement of any such claim; and (c) cooperates with Be Free, at Be Free's
expense, in defending or settling such claims.

4.2 Each party hereby indemnifies and holds the other party harmless from and
against any and all liabilities relating to any claim or demand by the other
party's employees, agents, and consultants.

5. OWNERSHIP.

5.1 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Be Free and Merchant
shall be the sole and exclusive owners of their respective intellectual
property, including, without limitation, technology, trademarks, service marks,
trade names, patents, copyrights, trade secrets and confidential information.
Neither party shall use the intellectual property of the other without the prior
written permission of the owner.

5.2 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Be Free shall be the
sole and exclusive owner of its technology, including BFAST and its
configuration for Merchant.

5.3 Except for Affiliate names and addresses obtained by Be Free through the
Open Affiliate Outreach & FastApp Services, Merchant shall be the sole and
exclusive owner of specific names, addresses, transactional data and other
personal identifying information of Affiliates and End Users, and shall treat
such information as confidential business information. Be Free shall have the
right to use general demographic and non-personally-identifying information of
End Users, provided however, that any such use does not identify Merchant as the
source of any such data.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY.

6.1 Each party acknowledges that during the Term or any Additional Terms of this
Agreement, it may obtain access to trade secrets and confidential business
information of the other party. A trade secret generally consists of valuable,
secret information or ideas that a party collects or uses in order to keep its
competitive edge. Trade secrets include, without limitation, system designs,
program materials (including source and object code and any documentation which
has not been publicly distributed or disclosed), operating processes, equipment
design, product specifications, and any other proprietary technology.
Confidential business information consists of all other competitively sensitive
information kept in confidence by a party and includes, without limitation,
contract terms, selling and pricing information and procedures.

6.2 Each party agrees not to use or disclose any trade secrets or confidential
business information of the other party, except as may be necessary to employees
of a party who have a specific need to know in order to coordinate the operation
of the Affiliate Sales Channel and, specifically, shall not disclose any trade
secret or confidential business information at any time to any third party
without the prior express written permission of the owner of such trade secret
or confidential business information. These restrictions do not apply to (a) any
information that is or becomes generally available to the public; (b) any
information properly obtained from a completely independent source; or (c) any
information that may be necessary to establish or assert rights hereunder, or as
may be required by law or governmental regulations or authority.

6.3 Merchant, for itself and its employees, agents, and consultants, agrees not
to attempt in any manner to enter into, decompile or reverse-engineer the source
code of Be Free's software or to allow any other individual(s) or entity(ies) to
do or attempt to do so.

7. MISCELLANEOUS.

7.1 During the Term or any Additional Terms of this Agreement, Be Free shall be
the sole provider of affiliate serving technology to Merchant.

7.2 The parties agree to announce this Agreement shortly after the its
execution. Each party shall have the right to approve the other party's
announcement before it is made public, which approval shall not unreasonably be
withheld.

7.3 This Agreement is not assignable by either party, except that either party
may assign this Agreement in the event of its merger or acquisition, and then
only to the merged or acquiring company.

7.4 It is expressly agreed that, in the event of any breach or purported breach
of this Agreement, the remedy shall be limited to an action at law for money
damages, if any were actually suffered, and exclude consequential and incidental
damages. All rights shall be deemed to be cumulative and the waiver a breach of
any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of
any subsequent breach.

7.5 Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any delay or default
hereunder to the extent due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, if such
party notifies the other of the cause and the expected duration of such delay or
default. All such obligations shall return to full force and effect upon the
termination of such cause. A "cause beyond the reasonable control" includes any
act of God, act of any government authority, industrial dispute, fire,
explosion, accident, power failure, flood, riot or declared or undeclared war.

7.6 This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties regarding its
subject matter, supersedes any other agreements or understandings between them,
and may only be amended by a writing signed by both parties. A party's waiver
of, or failure to enforce, any right hereunder on one occasion shall not be
deemed a waiver of any other right on the same occasion or the same right on any
other occasion. If a court having competent jurisdiction declares any provision
of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be construed and
governed according to the laws of Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to
contracts made, and fully performed, in Massachusetts.
