conditioning,  and  heating  system  in  the Premises shall be in good operating

violated,  then  it  shall be the obligation of Lessor, after receipt of written
notice  from  Lessee setting fortn with specificity the nature of the violation,
to  promptly,  at  Lessor's  sole  cost,  rectify  such  violation.
          (b)  Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby accepts

interference  with  Lessee's  business  with  respect  to  any  improvements,
alterations or repairs made by Lessor to the Office Building Project or any part

expense  or  to  terminate  this  Lease  because of Lessor's failure to keep the
Premises  in  good  order,  condition  and  repair.

heal,  light,  power,  telephone  and  other utilities and services specially or
exclusively  supplied  and/or  metered exclusively to the Premises or to Lessee,

utilities  except  by  or  through existing outlets and shall not install or use
machinery or equipment in or about the Premises that uses excess water, lighting

Lessee  to  reimburse Lessor for any excess expenses or costs that may arise out

     12.1     Lessor's  Consent  Required.  Lessee  shall  not voluntarily or by
operation  of  law  assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber  all  or any part of Lessee's interest In the Lease or in the Premises,
without  Lessor's  prior  written  consent,  which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold.  Lessor  shall  respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely  manner  and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage. encumbrance or
subletting  without  such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a material
default  and  breach  of  this Lease without the need for notice to Lessee under
paragraph 13.1. "Transfer" within the meaning of this paragraph 12 shall include
the transfer or transfers aggregating: (a) if Lessee is a corporation, more than
twenty-five  percent  (25%)  of  the voting stock of such corporation, or (b) if
Lessee  is  a partnership, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the profit and
loss  participation  in  such  partnership.
     12.2     Lessee Affiliate, Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.1
hereof,  Lessee  may  assign  or  sublet  the  Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is  under  common  control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger  or  consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all  the  assets  of  Lessee  as  a  going concern of the business that is being
conducted  on  the Premises, all of which are referred to as "Lessee Affiliate";
provided that before such assignment shall be effective, (a) said assignee shall
assume, in full, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and (b) Lessor shall
be  given  written notice of such assignment and assumption. Any such assignment
shall  not,  in any way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms
of this Lease even if after such assignment or subletting the terms of his Lease
are  materially changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the consent of
whom  shall  not  be  necessary.
     12.3     Terms  and  Conditions  Applicable  to  Assignment and Subletting.
          (a)     Regardless  of  Lessor's  consent, no assignment or subletting
shall  release  Lessee  of  Lessee's  obligation  hereunder or alter the primary
liability  of  Lessee  to  pay  the  rent  and  other  sums due Lessor hereunder
including Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase, and to perform all other
obligations  to  be  performed  by  Lessee  hereunder.
          (b)     Lessor  may  accept  rent  from  any  person other than Lessee
pending  approval  or  disapproval  of  such  assignment.
          (c)     Neither  a  delay  in  the  approval  or  disapproval  of such
assignment  or subletting, nor the acceptance of rent, shall constitute a waiver
or  estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of
the  terms  or  conditions  of  this  paragraph  12  or  this  Lease.
          (d)     If  Lessee's  obligation under this Lease have been guaranteed
by  third parties, then an assignment or sublease, and Lessor's consent thereto,
shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such
sublease  and  the  terms  thereof.
          (e)     The  consent  by  Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall
not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or
to  any  subsequent  or  successive  assignment  or subletting by the sublessee.
However,  Lessor  may  consent  to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the
sublease  or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or
anyone  else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent
and  such  action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease
or  said  sublease; however, such persons shall not be responsible to the extent
any  such amendment or modification enlarges or increases the obligations of the
Lessee  or  sublessee  under  this  Lease  or  such  sublease.
          (f)     In  the  event  of  any  default  under this Lease, Lessor may
proceed  directly  against Lessee, any guarantors or anyone else responsible for
the performance of this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting
Lessor's  remedies  against  any  other person or entity responsible therefor to
Lessor,  or  any  security  held  by  Lessor  or  Lessee.
          (g)     Lessor's  written  consent  to any assignment or subletting of
the  Premises  by  Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default
then  exists  under  this Lease of the obligations to be performed by Lessee nor
shall  such  consent  be deemed a waiver of any then existing default, except as
may  be  otherwise  stated  by  Lessor  at  the  time,
          (h)     The  discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied
upon  by  Lessor  in  giving  its  consent  to  an  assignment or subletting was
materially  false shall, at Lessor's election, render Lessor's said consent null
and  void.
     12.4     Additional  Terms  and  Conditions  Applicable  to  Subletting.
Regardless  of  Lessor's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply
to  any  subletting  by  Lessee  of all or any part of the Premises and shall be
deemed  included  in  alt  subleases  under  this Lease whether or not expressly
incorporated  therein:
     (a)     Lessee  hereby  assigns  and  transfers  to  Lessor all of Lessee's
interest  in  all  rentals  and  income  arising from any sublease heretofore or
hereafter  made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect such rent and income and apply
same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until
a  default  shall  occur  in  the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease,  Lessee  may  receive,  collect  and  enjoy the rents accruing under such
sublease.  Lessor  shall  not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such
sublease  to  Lessor  nor  by  reason  of  the  collection  of  the rents from a
sublessee,  be  deemed  liable  to  the  sublessee  for any failure of Lessee to
perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee under such
sublease.  Lessee  hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee,
upon  receipt  of  a written notice from Lessor staling that a default exists in
the  performance  of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor the
rents  due  and  to  become  due  under  the  sublease.  Lessee agrees that such
sublessee  shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from
Lessor,  and  that  such  sublessee  shall  pay  such rents to Lessor without an

obligation  or  right  to  inquire  as  to  whether  such  default  exists  and
notwithstanding  any  notice  from  or  claim from Lessee to the contrary Lessee
shall have no right or claim against said sublessee or Lessor for any such rents
so  paid  by  said  sublessee  to  Lessor.
          (b)     No  sublease  entered Into by Lessee shall be effective unless
and  until  It  has  been  approved  In  writing by Lessor. In entering Into any
sublease,  Lessee  shall  use  only  such form of sublease as is satisfactory to
Lessor,  and  once  approved  by  Lessor,  such sublease shall not be changed or
modified  without  Lessor's prior written consent, Any sublease shall, by reason
of  entering  into  a  sublease  under  this Lease, be deemed for Ihe benefit of
Lessor,  to  have  assumed  and agreed to conform and comply with each and every
obligation  herein  to be performed by Lessee other than such obligations as are
contrary  to  or  inconsistent  with provisions contained in a sublease to which
Lessor  has  expressly  consented  in  writing.
          (c)     In  the  event  Lessee shall default in the performance of its
obligations  under this Lease, Lessor slits option and without any obligation to
do  so,  may  require  any  sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor
shall  undertake  the obligations of Lessee under such sublease from the time of
the  exercise  of  said  option  to  the termination of such sublease; provided,
however,  Lessor  shall  not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to Lessee or for any other prior defaults of Lessee under
such  sublease.
          (d)     No subtessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of
the  Premises  without  Lessor's  prior  written  consent.
          (e)     With  respect to any subletting to which Lessor has consented,
Lessor  agrees  to  deliver  a  copy  of  any notice of default by Lessee to the
sublessee.  Such  sublessee  shall  have  the  right to cure a default of Lessee
within  three  (3)  days  after  service  of  said  notice  of default upon such
sublessee, and the sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from
and  against  Lessee  for  any  such  defaults  cured  by  the  sublessee.
     12.5     Lessor's  Expenses. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises  or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if
Lessee  shall  request  the  consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then  Lessee  shall  pay  Lessor's  reasonable  costs  and  expenses incurred in
connection  therewith,  including  attorneys',  architects', engineers' or other
consultants'  fees.
     12.6     Conditions  to Consent. Lessor reserves the right to condition any
approval  to  assign or sublet upon Lessor's determination that (a) the proposed
assignee  or  sublessee  shall  conduct  a business on the Premises of a quality
substantially  equal to that of Lessee and consistent with the general character
of  the  other  occupants of the Office Building Project and not in violation of
any  exclusives  or  rights  then  held  by  other tenants, and (b) the proposed
assignee  or  sublessee  be  at  least  as financially responsible as Lessee was
expected  to be at the lime of the execution of this Lease or of such assignment
or  subletting,  whrcheverisgrealer.

          See  attached  Addendum One for Landlord's Right  to  Space.

13.     Default;  Remedies.
     13.1     Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events
shall  constitute  a  material  default  of  this  Lease  by  Lessee:
          (a)     The  vacation  or  abandonment  of  the  Premises  by  Lessee.
Vacation  of the Premises shall include the failure to occupy the Premises for a
continuous  period  of sixty (60) days or more, whether or not the rent is paid.
          (b)  The  breach  by  Lessee  of  any  of the covenants, conditions or
provisions  of  paragraphs 7.3(a), (b) or (d) (alterations), 12.1 (assignment or
subletting),  13.1(a)  (vacation  or abandonment), 13.1(e) (insolvency), 13.1(f)
(false  statement),  16(a)  (estoppel  certificate),  30(b)  (subordination). 33
(auctions),  or 41.1 (easements), all of which are hereby deemed to be material,
non-curable  defaults  without  the  necessity of any notice by Lessor to Lessee
thereof.
          (c)     The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other
payment  required  to  be  made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such
failure  shall  continue  for  a  period  of three (3) days after written notice
thereof  from  Lessor  to  Lessee, In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a
Notice  Ic  Pay  Rent  or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes
such  Notice  to  Pay  Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by
this  subparagraph.
          (d)  The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants,
conditions  or  provisions  of  this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee
other  than  those  referenced  in  subparagraphs (b) and (c), above, where such
failure  shall  continue  for  a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's
noncompliance  is  such  that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required
for  its  cure,  then  Lessee  shall  not  be  deemed to be in default if Lessee
commenced such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
pursues  such  cure  to  completion. To the extent permitted by law, such thirty
(30)  day  notice  shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be
given  to  Lessee  under  applicable  Unlawful  Detainer  statutes,
          (e)     (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or general
assignment  for  the  benefit  of  creditors; (ii) Lessee becoming a "debtor" as
defined  in 11 U.S.C.  101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case
of  a  petition  filed  against  Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60)
days;  (iii)  the  appointment  of  a  trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially  all  of  Lessee's  assets  located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty
(30)  days;  or  (iv)  the  attachment,  execution  or other judicial seizure of
substantially  all  of  Lessee's  assets  located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest  in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30)
days.  In  the event that any provision of this paragraph 13.1(e) is contrary to
any  applicable  law,  such  provision  shall  be  of  no  force  or  effect.
          (f)     The  discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to
Lessor  by  Lessee, or its successor in interest or by any guarantor of Lessee's
obligation  hereunder,  was  materially  false,
     13.2     Remedies.  In  the event of any material default or breach of this
Lease  by  Lessee,  Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or
demand  and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which
Lessor  may  have  by  reason  of  such  default:
     (a)     Terminate  Lessee's  right  to  possession  of  the Premises by any
lawful  means,  in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and
Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such
event  Lessor  shall  be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by
Lessor  by reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost of
recovering  possession  of  the  Premises;  expenses  of  reletting.  including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees,
and  any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by
the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the  balance of the term after the lime of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental  loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
that  portion  of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15
applicable  to  the  unexpired  term  of  this  Lease.
          (b)     Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this Lease
shall  continue  in effect whether or not Lessee shall have vacated or abandoned
the  Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as
it  becomes  due  hereunder.
          (c)     Pursue  any  other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor
under  the  laws  or  judicial  decisions  of the slate wherein the Premises are
located.  Unpaid  installments  of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of
Lessee  under  the  terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at
the  maximum  rate  then  allowable  by  law,
     13.3     Default  by  Lessor.  Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor
fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in
no  event  later  than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor
and  to  the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises
whose  name  and  address  shall  have  theretofore  been furnished to Lessee in
writing,  specifying  wherein  Lessor  has  failed  to  perform such obligation;
provided.  however,  that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more
than  thirty  (30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in
default if Lessor commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter
diligently  pursues  the  same  to  completion.
     13.4     Late  Charges.  Lessee  hereby  acknowledges  that late payment by
Lessee  to  Lessor of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of Operating Expense Increase or
other  surtis due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by
this  Lease,  the axed amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.
Such  costs  include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges,
and  late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or
trust deed covering the Office Building Project. Accordingly, if any installment
of Base Rent, Operating Expense Increase, or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not  be  received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount  shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall  pay  to  Lessor  a  late  charge  equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The
parties  hereby  agree  that  such  late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate  of  the  costs  Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.
Acceptance  of  such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from
exercising  any  of  the  other  rights  and  remedies  granted  hereunder

14.     Condemnation.  If  the  Premises  or  any  portion thereof or the Office
Building  Project are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the
threat  of  the  exercise  of  said  power  (all  of  which  are  herein  called
"condemnation"),  this  Lease  shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the
dale the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs;
provided  that  is  so  much  of the Premises or the Office Building Project are
taken  by  such  condemnation  as  would  substantially and adversely affect the
operation  and  profitability  of Lessee's business conducted from the Premises,
Lessee shall have the option, to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30)
days  after  Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in
the  absence  of  such  notice,  within  thirty  (30)  days after the condemning
authority  shall  have taken possession), Ic terminate this Lease as of the date

condemning  authority  takes  such possession. if Lessee does not terminate this
Lease  in  accordance  with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain In full force
and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent and
Lessee's  Share of Operating Expense increase shall be reduced in the proportion
that  the  floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total floor area of the
Premises,  Common  Areas taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by
Lessee  and  no  reduction of rent shall occur with respect thereto or by reason
thereof.  Lessor  shall have the option in its sole discretion to terminate this
Lease  as  of  the  taking  of possession by the condemning authority, by giving
written  notice to Lessee of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt
of  notice of a taking by condemnation of any part of the Premises or the Office
Building Project. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises or
the  Office  Building  Project  under the power of eminent domain or any payment
made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor,
whether  such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the
leasehold  or  for  the  taking  of  the fee, or as severance damages; provided,
however,  that  Lessee  shall  be  entitled to any separate award for loss of or
damage  to  Lessee's trade fixtures, removable personal property and unamortized
tenant improvements that have been paid for by Lessee. For that purpose the cost
of  such  improvements  shall  be amortized over the original term of this Lease
excluding  any options. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason
of  such  condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received
by  Lessor  in  connection  with  such  condemnation,  repair  any damage to the
Premises  caused  by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been
reimbursed  therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in
excess  of  such  severance  damages  required  to  complete  such  repair.

defined  in  paragraph 39.1 of this Lease, which is granted to Lessee under this
Lease,  or  any subsequently granted option which is substantially similar to an
Option granted to Lessee under this Lease, or (ii) if Lessee acquires any rights
to  the  Premises  or  other  premises  described  in  this  Lease  which  are
substantially  similar  to  what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein
granted  to  Lessee  been exercised, or (iii) if Lessee remains in possession of
the  Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease after having failed
to  exercise an Option, or (iv) if said broker(s) are the procuring cause of any
other  lease or sale entered into between the parties pertaining to the Premises

contained  herein, then as to any of said transactions or rent increases, Lessor
shall pay said broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule of said broker(s)
in  effect at the lime of execution of this Lease. Said fee shall be paid at the

of  the  business  of  Lessee.
     (b)     At  the  requesting  party's  option,  the  failure to deliver such

be  conclusive  upon such party that (I) this Lease is in full force and effect,
without  modification except as may be represented by the requesting party, (ii)

asserted  shall  have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall  not be regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right
on  the  part  of  said  party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it
shall  be  adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party
to  pay  such  sum  or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover
such  sum  or  so  much thereof as if was not legality required to pay under the
provisions  of  this  Lease.

June,  2000,  by  and  between  AMERICAN  NORTEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Wyoming

individual  (hereinafter  "Employee").

                                    RECITALS:

A.     The  services  to be rendered by the Employee under this contract require
       professional  education,  skills  and  experience;  and

B.     The  parties desire to provide the terms and conditions of employment and
       the  benefits  to  be  provided  by  the  Employer  to  the  Employee.

                                   AGREEMENT:

     1.     Term  of Agreement.  This Agreement will be deemed to commence as of
            ------------------
June  1,  2000,  and  shall  continue  until June 30, 2003, subject to the other
provisions  hereof.  The  parties  may  extend  this  Agreement  for  additional
one-year  terms  by  written  agreement.

     2.     Positions  with  Employer.  During  the  term  of  this  Agreement,
            -------------------------
Employee  will  serve  as  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  ("CEO") of
Employer,  shall  devote  his  full  time  to  the affairs of Employer and shall
faithfully  and  diligently  perform all duties commensurate with such positions
including,  but  not  limited  to:

     (a)     Those duties reasonably requested by Employer's Board of Directors;

     (b)     Those duties specifically set forth  in  Employer's  by-laws  that
             relate  to  such  positions.

     3.     Reporting  Authority.  Employee  shall report to Employer's Board of
            --------------------
Directors.

     4.      Board  Seat.  During  the  term  of his employment as President and

CEO,  Employer  shall  use  its  reasonable best efforts to cause Employee to be
elected  to  the  Board  of  Directors.

<PAGE>
     5.     Salary.  Employee shall be entitled to receive a minimum base salary
            ------
in  the amount of $434,500 per year, payable in equal installments in accordance
with Employer's general salary payment policies in effect during the term hereof
(the  "Minimum  Base  Salary").  Employee's  Minimum  Base  Salary  may,  at the
discretion  of  Employer's Board of Directors, be increased at such times and in
such  amounts  as  the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, deem just and
equitable.  However,  in  no  event  shall  Employee's  Minimum  Base  Salary be

be eligible to receive bonuses up to an aggregate maximum amount of $200,000 per
fiscal  year.  Employee  shall  be entitled to be paid a bonus amount in cash of
$10,000  for  each  one  percent increase in the pre-tax profits of the Employer
measured  in relation to the prior fiscal year's pre-tax profit.  Pre-tax profit
shall  include  unrealized gains and losses, but shall exclude any extraordinary
items.  Employee  shall be eligible to earn the bonus commencing with the fiscal
year  of  the  Employer  ending on June 30, 2000.  The bonus shall be calculated
annually,  as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year of Employer,
and  shall  be  paid  in  cash  within  15  days  of  determination.

     If  the  increase  in  pre-tax  profits  for any fiscal year exceeds twenty
percent  (20%),  the  excess  dollar  amount of pre-tax profits shall be carried
forward  to  the  following  fiscal  year  or years.  For example, if the annual
pre-tax  profits  of  the  Employer for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2000,
increased  from  $  1,000,000  to  $1,300,000, Employee would be entitled to the
maximum  bonus  for  that  fiscal  year,  and  the  excess
$100,000  of  pre-tax  profits  would  be  added to, and treated as part of, the
increase  in  pre-tax  profits  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,2001.

     7.     Financial  Planning  Allowance.  Employer  shall provide Employee an
            ------------------------------
