                  provide a telecommunications termination service (hereinafter
                  referred to as the "Service") to Customer, allowing Customer
                  to route its clients' long distance phone calls through CTRA's
                  underlying carrier networks, under the terms and conditions
                  specified herein.

         1.2      Customer shall not use the Service, nor shall allow the use of
                  the Service by others, for any illegal purposes, or in a
                  manner that violates the law, or for annoying any person, or
                  in a manner which interferes with the use of the Service by
                  others users. Customer shall not be excused from paying CTRA
                  for the Service, or any portion thereof, on the basis that a

                  portion of such Service.

         1.3      In order to obtain the Service, Customer must first comply

                  CTRA's underlying carrier networks via the means made
                  available to Customer and its sub-users to access CTRA's
                  underlying carrier networks, on the basis of the set

         3.1      This agreement is for a term of Three (3) years, starting on
                  March 21, 1999, and ending at noon, Eastern Standard Time,
                  March 20 2002 (hereinafter referred to as the "initial term").

         3.2      This agreement will renew automatically for an equivalent term
                  at the end of the initial term or each renewal unless Customer
                  or CTRA advises the other in writing of its intention not to
                  renew the agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to the end
                  of the initial term or renewal.

4.       Terms of Payment and Billing

         4.1      Customer shall be invoiced by CTRA on a monthly basis and each
                  invoice is due and payable thirty (30) days from the date of
                  the invoice.

         4.2      Invoices not paid when due shall accrue interest at a monthly
                  rate of 1.5% compounded monthly (19.56% per annum) and
                  computed on a daily basis from the date the invoice was due
                  until payment is received by CTRA.

         4.3      In order to be considered, any billing discrepancies shall be
                  submitted to CTRA with reasonable details, in writing, within
                  thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. Failing such
                  submission within the stated delay, CTRA shall be entitled to
                  disregard any such discrepancy.

         4.4      If Customer's payment by cheque is returned for insufficiency
                  of funds or cannot otherwise be processed for payment,
                  Customer shall be liable for and subject to a Fifteen Dollar
                  ($15.00) charge, applicable each time a cheque is returned or
                  not processed.

         4.5      The rates and charges mentioned in clauses 4.2 and 4.4 above
                  are subject to change from time to time upon notice by CTRA to
                  Customer, without giving effect to the opting out provisions
                  of clause 14.

         4.6      Termination, interruption or suspension of Service to Customer
                  shall not affect Customer's obligation to pay any amount owing
                  to CTRA hereunder or otherwise.

         4.7      Customer guarantees that their monthly billing (i.e.: the
                  amount charged to Customer by CTRA) will amount to not less
                  than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($ 50,000.00) net of taxes, on or
                  before December 31st, 1999 and will not be less than this
                  amount for the remainder of the term.

         4.8      If by December 31st, 1999 the Customer does not reach the
                  billing level specified in clause 4.7, the Customer shall pay
                  forthwith to CTRA one half of the difference between Fifty
                  Thousand Dollars ($ 50,000.00) and the actual level of billing
                  (net of taxes) for each month where the commitment of clause
                  4.7 is not met during the rest of the present term or the
                  renewal item.

         1.   Security

         4.1      deleted

         5.2      Any deposit required pursuant to clause 5.1 shall be held by
                  CTRA without interest to Customer. CTRA shall have the right
                  to apply the deposit against any outstanding balance in
                  Customer's account. In the event that there is no outstanding
                  balance or it is less than the

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  amount deposited, the deposit or the remainder of the
                  deposit shall be refunded to Customer upon termination of
                  this agreement.

         5.3      Customer hereby grants, as of the execution of this agreement,
                  and binds itself to execute simultaneously a document to that
                  effect on the form provided by CTRA as an essential condition
                  of this agreement, a first ranking security on all Customer's
                  accounts receivable, lists of clients and other goodwill, to
                  the benefit of CTRA, in order to secure all the obligations of
                  Customer hereunder. Where the law requires the said security
                  to be for a fixed amount, such amount will be set at an amount
                  equal to the equivalent of one (1) year estimated billing for
                  the Service. In order to give effect to the foregoing,
                  Customer will do all things and execute all additional
                  instruments useful or necessary to effectively assign its
                  accounts receivable, lists of clients and other goodwill to
                  CTRA.

         5.4      CTRA shall have the right to request at all times and receive
                  forthwith from the Customer a copy of the last annual or
                  quarterly financial statements of Customer.

6.       Service or Equipment Failure

         6.1      CTRA does not warrant uninterrupted Service, nor the
                  continuous availability or working of its equipment, or the
                  transmission services, systems or equipment of any other
                  telecommunications or telephone company or carrier whose
                  services, equipment or systems are used by CTRA, or by
                  Customer or any of its users in connection with the Service.

         6.2      For the purposes of this agreement, "interruption" shall mean
                  the inability to complete calls due to network, system or
                  equipment malfunction or human errors.

         6.3      In addition to the provisions of clause 10.3, it is expressly
                  understood that Service may be temporarily suspended or
                  interrupted without any liability being incurred by CTRA.
                  Furthermore, no compensation, credit, allowance or adjustment
                  will be made to amounts otherwise owing by Customer by reason
                  of any such suspensions or interruptions.

         6.4      No credit will be given for Service difficulties such as
                  (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) low dial
                  tone, circuits busy or other network or switching capacities
                  shortages, interruptions caused by the failure of any services
                  or facilities provided by a carrier or other entity other than
                  CTRA, interruptions caused by Customer's fault, negligence or
                  wilful act or interruptions caused by failure of Customer's
                  equipment or systems, or interruption by CTRA due to
                  Customer's failure to pay any amount due to CTRA or any breach
                  of this agreement by Customer.

                  group which investigates all such disputes. The burden of
                  proof will be on Customer to prove its client did in fact
                  choose Customer as its long distance service provider.

9.       Responsibility of Customer

         9.1      Customer shall notify CTRA's underlying carriers within two
                  (2) business days whenever any of its own clients or sub-users
                  ceases to use the Service, either because the said client or
                  sub-user has chosen a preferred inter-connection carrier other
                  than CTRA or has had its service agreement with Customer
                  interrupted or terminated for any reason.

         9.2      Where Customer so notifies CTRA's underlying carriers to
                  discontinue the Service to specific sub- user(s) or telephone
                  number(s), CTRA shall diligently discontinue the Service as
                  requested, but in any event, no later than three (3) business
                  days after the receipt of said notification, without liability
                  to the Customer beyond the expiration of said three (3) days'
                  delay.

         9.3      CTRA's underlying carriers will provide Customer with regular
                  or occasional lists of Customer's clients. CTRA's underlying
                  carriers will also promptly notify Customer of any PIC Care
                  transactions indicating that one or more of Customer's clients
                  or sub-users have selected another carrier. Customer shall
                  have two (2) business days following the receipt of such list
                  or notice to notify CTRA's underlying carriers that some
                  clients are not Customer's clients any more and that the
                  Service should not be provided to them through CTRA's
                  underlying carriers' network.

         9.4      If Customer fails to so notify CTRA's underlying carriers,
                  Customer shall be responsible for the payment of all amounts
                  due by such clients or sub-users utilizing the Service beyond
                  the expiration of said two (2) day delay.

10.      Termination

         10.1     Except where otherwise specified, this agreement may be
                  terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written
                  notice.

         10.2     Should this agreement be terminated by Customer before the
                  expiry of the term or any renewal thereof, Customer will owe
                  CTRA, and will be billed a termination charge of Fifty
                  Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).

         10.3     Customer agrees that CTRA may suspend, disconnect or terminate
                  the Service in whole or in part and this agreement, if
                  Customer:

                  10.3.1   fails to pay any invoice when due or any other amount
                           owed to CTRA;

                  10.3.2   fails to abide by the terms and conditions as
                           specified in the agreement or provides false or
                           misleading information to CTRA in connection with an
                           application or agreement for Service;

                  10.3.3   fails to provide or maintain a security deposit or
                           other alternative when required to do so pursuant to
                           this agreement; or

                  10.3.4   intentionally or de facto transfers or assigns in
                           whole or in part CTRA's Service without the express
                           written authorization of CTRA, which shall be deemed
                           a fraudulent use of the Service.

         10.4     Prior to such suspension or termination, CTRA will provide
                  Customer with reasonable notice of the suspension or
                  termination date, the reason(s) for the proposed suspension
                  or termination and any amount owing.

         10.5     Notwithstanding anything herein contained, this agreement
                  shall terminate forthwith automatically if Customer:

                  10.5.1   uses CTRA's underlying carriers Service, facilities,
                           equipment or systems in a manner that adversely
                           affects CTRA's underlying carriers' operations or the
                           use of CTRA's underlying carriers' services by other
                           customers; or

                  10.5.2   commits an act of bankruptcy within the meaning of
                           the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada); if any
                           bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are taken by or
                           against the Customer; if Customer passes a resolution
                           to or makes any voluntary assignment for the benefit
                           of its creditors; if a receiver takes possession of
                           any of Customer's property; if Customer ceases to
                           carry on business in the normal course; if Customer

                           that only orders accompanied by one of such documents

                  determine if activation of the Service has occurred. The
                  "1-700" number will have a CTRA underlying carrier voice
                  prompt.

         5.       Service orders will be processed on a first come, first served
                  basis.

                  prerequisite documentation complete and in order, CTRA will
                  process Service orders within nine (9) working days on the
                  average. However, CTRA will not assume nor incur any liability
                  for delays in processing such Service orders.
