      execution of a contract between the Company and qualified prospect ("Client")
      in
      accordance with the following schedule:

    

    Referral
      Agent shall be entitled to earn consideration if: (i) Referral Agent provides,
      in writing, a qualified lead or prospect, (ii) Referral Agent introduces the
      Company to the potential Client and sets up a meeting with a person authorized
      to bind the Client, and (iii) the Company enters
      into a qualified contract with the Client within a twelve (12) month period
      of
      such meeting.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    In
      such
      case, Referral Agent shall be entitled to receive compensation of 5% of all
      transactions (minutes of usage) to a maximum of $.05 per minute during the
      first
      year of the Agreement net of all applicable operating expenses; the second
      year
      of a contract with the same client, the Referral Agent will receive 3% of all
      account transactions (minutes of usage) to a maximum of $.03 per minute net
      of
      all applicable operating expenses; the third year of a contract with the same
      client, the Referral Agent will receive 1.5% of all account transactions
      (minutes of usage) to a maximum of $.015 per minute net of all applicable
      operating expenses. Years four and five with the same contract/client, the
      Referral Agent will receive a flat fee of $.01 per minute of all account
      transactions (minutes of usage) net of all applicable operating
      expenses.

    

    Any
      and
      all considerations owed to the Referral Agent shall be due and payable within
      thirty (30) days after Company has received payment.

    

    B.  Post

      defined in Section 8 herein), Referral Agent shall only be entitled to receive
      a
      consideration on any payments which have been received by Company from a client
      prior to the date of the termination of this Agreement. Upon the termination
      of
      this Agreement or the relationship between Company and Referral Agent for any
      reason other than "Cause", Referral Agent shall be entitled to receive such
      compensation as is specified above in Section 4(A) for a period of the earlier
      of: (i) thirty-six (36) months from the date of the termination or (ii) the
      end
      of the client contract term, whichever is shorter.

    

    C.  Monthly

      considerations due and payable under the terms of this Agreement, with reference
