Representative Agreements ("Draft Sales Agreements") dated October 2, 2000; and,

                  WHEREAS, Company and ASR signed a "Wireline Agency Signature

and providing telecommunications services;

                  WHEREAS ASR desires to become an authorized sales

                  WHEREAS the Company wishes to engage ASR to promote the sale

                  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

I.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF AGREEMENT

         The term of this Agreement shall commence as of October 2, 2000 and
shall continue:

                  (a) through October 1, 2001 or

conditions stated herein until terminated by either Party giving to the other
written notice of its intent to so terminate at least sixty (60) days prior to
the end of such term.

II.  SERVICES

         1.       The services subject to this Agreement ("Services") are listed
in Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

         2.       The Company reserves the right to add services to Exhibit C
effective immediately upon written notice. The Company further reserves the
right to modify the Services, including deleting Services listed in Exhibit C,
and to alter or amend ASR's obligations and commission structure (Exhibit C)
hereunder on thirty days written notice.

III.  RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

         1.       The relationship between the parties established by this
Agreement is that of independent contractors. Neither is an agent or employee of
the other. Except for the rights and obligations of each party pursuant to this
Agreement, neither has any right or any authority to enter into any contract or
undertaking in the name of or for the account of the other, or to assume or
create any obligation of any kind, express or implied, on behalf of the other,
nor shall the acts or omissions of either create any liability for the other.
ASR shall at no time represent itself as the Company. ASR shall conduct its
business at its own initiative, responsibility and expense. ASR shall be
responsible for its own acts, and those of its employees, agents, subordinates,
and contractors during the performance of ASR's obligations under this
Agreement.

         2.       Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Company confirms
customer eligibility for Services, ASR shall be considered the agent of the
Company solely for the purposes of receiving and safeguarding such eligibility
information. "Receiving" shall mean to take possession of eligibility
information. "Safeguarding" shall mean the obligation to take all reasonable
steps to ensure against the unauthorized release or use of eligibility
information. ASR shall receive and use such eligibility information for the sole
purpose of marketing the Services. The terms and conditions of Section VIII
shall also apply to the provision of this eligibility information.

         3.       The Company hereby appoints ASR as an authorized sales
representative, to market, promote the sale of, and be the procuring cause of
orders for Services, as defined in Exhibit C, within the geographic market areas
specified in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The Company reserves the right to appoint other authorized sales
representatives.

         4.       The Company reserves the right at its option to market or
service any and all Services to customers. The Company reserves the right at any
time to provide additional sales and marketing services with respect to ASR's
customers and will not pay any commission for such services. The Company
reserves the right to market Customer Premises Equipment ("CPE") in competition
with ASR, and to resell ASR products and services if so executed through a
separate agreement.

                                                                          Page 2

                Not for use or disclosure outside Company and ASR
         except under written agreement approved in writing by Company.

<PAGE>

         5.       ASR accepts this appointment and agrees to exert commercially
reasonable efforts to promote, on the Company's behalf, certain of the Company's
Services; and to provide sales support activity in a professional and
appropriate manner in compliance with federal or state laws, rules, or
regulations that may govern such services. New commission structures, and any
changes thereto, will become part of this Agreement.

         6.       ASR represents that neither it, nor any of its affiliates is a
reseller or a facilities based provider of intraLATA telecommunications service,
and that neither ASR, nor any affiliate of ASR has applied for or received
permission to operate as a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC). If, during
the term of this Agreement, the status of these representations change, this
Agreement will be terminated immediately.

         7.       ASR agrees if the Company identifies a situation in which
ASR's activities are violating this Agreement, the Company may (1) withhold
payment of commission during the investigation of such violation, and (2)
require ASR to cease all activities hereunder. Failure to cease the activities
hereunder as directed by the Company is cause for immediate termination of this
Agreement. ASR shall work with the Company to resolve the issues causing the
Company to impose such requirement(s), and shall not resume activities hereunder
until such issues are resolved.

         8.       The Company may make available to ASR additional opportunities
including, but not limited to: contests, co-operative advertising, lists of
leads for sales of Services, referrals for sales of Services, participation in
module management and/or account management programs, and participation in other
similar programs which the Company may from time to time deem appropriate. Such
opportunities shall be offered and allocated solely at the Company's discretion
and shall be defined by the Company if and when offered.

         9.       The Company shall supply ASR with a reasonable number of
brochures, price lists and other material the Company deems necessary for
promoting the sale of Services, and with reasonable support for training ASR's
personnel. If ASR requires unusual support or excess services, a charge may be
applied for such support or services. Any portion of the foregoing material for
which ASR has been charged which remains unused at the time the Company makes
changes in any Services when such changes make such material unusable may be
promptly returned to the Company for credit.

IV. ASR RESPONSIBILITIES

                                                                          Page 4

         7.       ASR's eligibility for a commission based on a sale of Services
accrues as of the date of service order completion or upon payment for prepaid
eligible contracts, whichever is later. Except as provided in Section XI, or as

X.  TERMINATION

         This Agreement may be terminated by one party immediately upon the
giving of 60 day notice in writing to the other party.

XI. GENERAL PROVISIONS

         1.       The Company agrees at all times to act in a professional and
ethical manner. The Company agrees that it will not do anything that will
dishonor, discredit, reflect adversely on, or injure the reputation of ASR.

         2.       Assignment. ASR acknowledges that it has been specifically
selected to participate in the Company's Sales Agency Program after careful
evaluation by the Company of ASR's financial stability, product line and
reputation in the business community, as well as the individual abilities and
reputation of ASR's management and sales force. Accordingly, the parties agree
that neither this Agreement, nor any right or obligation hereunder is
assignable, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, by
ASR without the prior written consent of the Company. Changes of the form in
which ASR does business (including but not limited to sole proprietorships,
partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and corporations, and changes due
to mergers or being acquired), shall be considered to be assignments which will
require the prior written consent of the Company and requalification of ASR in
its new form under the then existing qualification requirements. Subject to the
foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto, their successors and assigns. If ASR assigns the Agreement
pursuant to this provision, the existing Agreement shall be terminated and a new
Agreement shall be entered into with ASR's assignee.

         3.       Transfers. ASR's customer accounts may only be transferred
pursuant to a written signed agreement between existing ASRs in good standing,
provided the Company's prior written permission is obtained.

         4.       Subcontracting. ASR agrees that it will not subcontract or
attempt to subcontract any of its duties or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Company.

         5.       Affiliates. For the purposes of this Agreement, an "affiliate"
of any entity shall respectively mean:

         -  for the Company:

            a) any corporation or business entity in which the Company or SBC
            Communications Inc. (for the purposes of this section, collectively
            "the Company") or any subsidiary, any successor corporation, any
            subsidiary of such successor, or any corporation of which the
            Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary or any subsidiary of such
            corporation, has any ownership interest; and

         -  for ASR:

            b) any corporation or business entity in which ASR has any ownership
            or potential

                                                                          Page 9

require the other party's performance of any obligation under this Agreement
shall not affect the right to require performance of that obligation or any
other obligation. Any waiver by either party of any breach of any provision
hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach
of such provision, a waiver or modification of the provision itself, or a waiver
or modification of any right under this Agreement.

         8.       Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and

agreement having a valid legal and economic effect as similar as possible to the
ineffective provision and covering the scope of any missing provision in a
manner reasonably directed to the purpose of this Agreement.

                      EXHIBIT A - CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT

Every ASR has the responsibility of dealing fairly towards Southwestern Bell's
customers, past and present, fellow ASRs and the general public.

Each ASR has the responsibility of adhering to generally accepted standards of
accuracy, truth and good taste at all times. No ASR shall represent conflicting
or competing interests, nor shall be placed in a position where the ASR's
interest is, or may be, in conflict with duty to the customer.

Each ASR shall safeguard the confidences of both present and former clients, and
shall not accept retainers which may involve the disclosure or use of these
confidences to the disadvantage or prejudice of such clients.

No ASR shall intentionally disseminate false or misleading information, and each
ASR is obligated to use as much care as is humanly possible to avoid
dissemination of false or misleading information.

No ASR shall intentionally injure the professional reputation or practice of
another ASR. However, if an ASR has evidence that another vendor has been guilty
of unethical, illegal or unfair practices, including practices in violation of
this Code, the ASR is obligated to present the information to the proper
authorities of SWBT for action in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in the applicable services agreement.

In performing services for a customer, no Authorized ASR shall accept fees,
commissions, or any other valuable consideration in connection with those
services from anyone other than the Company.

It is imperative that no ASR should be in conflict by retaining ownership in any
company selling or leasing telecommunications where such interest constitutes a
conflict of interest.

An ASR shall, as soon as possible, sever the relationship with any organization
when the ASR knows or should know that continued employment would require the
ASR to conduct itself contrary to the good conduct principles of this Code.

Each ASR's employees shall be treated as individuals with respect to their
dignity and recognition of their merit.

                                       AND
                            BELLSOUTH CELLULAR CORP.

THIS MARKETING REPRESENTATIVE AGREEMENT (hereinafter "Agreement") is entered
into as of the 17th day of July, 1998 (the "Effective Date") by and between
BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc., a Georgia Corporation with its principal
place of business at 675 West Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30375
("COMPANY") and BellSouth Cellular Corp., a Georgia corporation with its
principal place of business at 1100 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia
30309-4599 ("REPRESENTATIVE").

                                   WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, COMPANY is engaged in the business of marketing and providing
telecommunications services; and,

WHEREAS, COMPANY has agreed to allow qualified third parties to act as COMPANY's
authorized marketing representatives for the sale of certain services; and,

WHEREAS, REPRESENTATIVE desires to become an authorized marketing representative
of COMPANY for the sale of certain services at designated locations in certain
designated territories; and,

WHEREAS, COMPANY wishes to engage REPRESENTATIVE to promote the sale of certain
services in certain designated territories.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein
contained, the parties hereby mutually agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                          APPOINTMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE

A.       COMPANY hereby appoints REPRESENTATIVE as an authorized sales
         representative to promote, through its direct sales forces, at its
         company-owned stores and through COMPANY approved sub-agents of
         REPRESENTATIVE, the sale of and the solicitation of orders for, such
         COMPANY service offerings as set forth in Appendix A of this Agreement
         "Service(s)."

B.       REPRESENTATIVE hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to exert its
         best efforts to promote, on COMPANY's behalf, the marketing of the
         described Services. REPRESENTATIVE further agrees to service, in the
         manner described in Article III of this Agreement, all customers
         purchasing Services through the REPRESENTATIVE except to the extent
         otherwise provided in this Agreement.

<PAGE>

C.       It is understood between the parties that REPRESENTATIVE may market
         services for companies other than COMPANY, but not services offered by
         other companies in competition with the COMPANY's Services designated
         on Appendix A.II. and sold by REPRESENTATIVE in its designated
         marketing area during the term of this Agreement. REPRESENTATIVE is
         authorized to sell only in the designated marketing areas set forth in
         Appendix A.I. of this Agreement. REPRESENTATIVE's marketing activities
         shall also be subject to the limitations contained in Article III.C.
         herein.

D.       It is also understood between the parties that COMPANY may actively
         continue to market, promote, and obtain contracts for Service in the
         designated marketing areas through COMPANY's own sales force or through
         other means.

E.       COMPANY and REPRESENTATIVE agree that the relationship between them
         arising from this Agreement is that of independent contractors. Except
         for the rights retained by or granted to, and the obligations
         undertaken by, each party pursuant to this Agreement, neither has any
         right or any authority to enter into any contract or undertaking in the
         name of or for the account of the other or to assume or create any
         obligation of any kind, express or implied, on behalf of the other.
         REPRESENTATIVE shall conduct its business at its own initiative,
         responsibility, and expense. All persons furnished by REPRESENTATIVE in
         furtherance of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be
         considered solely REPRESENTATIVE's employees.

                                   ARTICLE II

         authorized by COMPANY's General Subscriber Services Tariff(s) ("GSST")

         rates.

B.       Orders and Acceptance.

         1.       Order Process. All orders for COMPANY's Services entered by
                  REPRESENTATIVE shall be in conformance with the terms
                  specified by COMPANY. REPRESENTATIVE shall determine
                  availability of Service on the basis of information received
                  from COMPANY. All orders shall be subject to availability,
                  approval, and acceptance by COMPANY. Only orders submitted
                  pursuant to COMPANY's specified terms and conditions will be
                  eligible for payment of commissions.
         2.       Credit Information. At COMPANY's request, REPRESENTATIVE shall
                  endeavor to obtain accurate and appropriate credit information
                  from any prospective customer as specified by COMPANY, which
                  REPRESENTATIVE shall forward to COMPANY with the order.
                  REPRESENTATIVE shall be solely responsible for ensuring that
                  any credit information it provides to COMPANY has been
                  provided to COMPANY with the permission of the customer. All
                  credit must be approved by COMPANY and COMPANY reserves the
                  right to deny credit or service to any customer, to require
                  deposits, or to modify its credit terms as it deems
                  appropriate, in accordance with its internal business
                  practices and any rules and regulations approved by
                  appropriate regulatory bodies. REPRESENTATIVE does not hereby
                  guarantee the credit of any customer, but does warrant that it
                  will use reasonable efforts to obtain accurate credit
                  information from reliable sources. Notwithstanding the above,
                  REPRESENTATIVE shall not be expected to incur any additional
                  costs, other than the time spent obtaining the above-stated
                  credit information on prospective customers of COMPANY.

C.       Compensation.

         Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, COMPANY shall pay
         REPRESENTATIVE Service sales compensation in accordance with the terms

service to customers satisfactory to COMPANY in its sole discretion.
REPRESENTATIVE will take and permit to be taken by COMPANY all actions
reasonably requested in order to ensure adequate opportunity for COMPANY review
of REPRESENTATIVE's

                                      -4-

performance including, but not limited to, periodic review and analysis by
COMPANY of the sales process, activities and customer service provided by
REPRESENTATIVE.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                            ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION

A.       COMPANY has the option to supply REPRESENTATIVE from time to time with
         a reasonable number of brochures, price lists, and other material
         necessary for promoting the sale of COMPANY Services. Any portion of
         the foregoing material which remains unused at the time COMPANY makes
         changes in Services or rates pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE
         IV.A. of this Agreement or upon the termination of this Agreement for
         any reason and by either party, shall be promptly returned to COMPANY
         or disposed of by REPRESENTATIVE. COMPANY may, in its sole discretion,
         enter into advertising and promotional campaigns with REPRESENTATIVE
         under terms and conditions agreed to by the parties. Except as
         otherwise previously agreed to in writing by the parties, under no
         circumstances is COMPANY obligated or required to advertise, market or
         promote for or on behalf of REPRESENTATIVE.

B.       As part of its efforts to market COMPANY Services, REPRESENTATIVE may
         with COMPANY consent, develop and undertake, at its own expense, an
         advertising campaign, including any Service advertising theme as may be
         adopted by COMPANY. All Advertising programs of REPRESENTATIVE
         referring to COMPANY Services must be approved in advance by COMPANY to
         ensure compliance with advertising guidelines, graphic standards and
         product positioning as developed by COMPANY. COMPANY will exert its
         best efforts to review these initiatives within 10 days so as not to
         delay the approval process. Any particular advertising copy that has
         been previously approved by COMPANY may continue to be used by
         REPRESENTATIVE without further approval processes until such time as
         information is superceded by subsequently amended, revised or approved
         advertising copy REPRESENTATIVE must clearly comply with the
         advertising guidelines and graphic standards as developed by COMPANY
         from time to time and shared with REPRESENTATIVE, with respect to any
         reference to COMPANY Names, Trademarks and Services.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 COMPANY'S MARKS

A.       Use of Marks. Subject to subsection E below, COMPANY may from time to
         time provide a list of Logos, Services Names and Marks (collectively
         the "Marks") which REPRESENTATIVE is authorized to use under this
         Agreement in conjunction with the sale of COMPANY'S Services and
         products. COMPANY

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
         may periodically update the list of Marks REPRESENTATIVE is authorized
         to use under this Agreement. The most currently updated list will
         always supersede any previously issued list. Such list will also be
         supplemented with rules and regulations pertaining to the Marks which
         REPRESENTATIVE agrees to follow. REPRESENTATIVE agrees to use the Marks
         for purposes solely in conjunction with the promotion, advertising and
         sale of COMPANY's Services and products bearing the Marks pursuant to
         the terms hereof. REPRESENTATIVE shall strictly comply with all graphic
         standards for the Marks which may be furnished from time to time and
         shall place appropriate trademark and service mark notices relating to
         the Marks as instructed. All media advertising and printed material in
         which Marks are used shall be submitted to COMPANY for review in
         advance and shall not be distributed or used in any manner without the
         prior written approval of COMPANY. Any use of the Marks which is not
         authorized herein or by an authorized representative of COMPANY shall
         be strictly prohibited. Any use of the Marks which is inconsistent with
         the terms hereof shall be grounds for immediate termination of this
         Agreement. Any failure to select this remedy on any occasion shall not
         constitute a waiver of COMPANY's rights under this paragraph.

B.       Limitation to U.S. Products or Services bearing the Marks are being
         sold through REPRESENTATIVE only in authorized areas in the United
         States where COMPANY provides such Products or Services. These Products
         or Services shall not be distributed by REPRESENTATIVE for sale in any
         other areas or in other countries without the prior written consent of
         COMPANY.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   TERMINATION

This Agreement may be terminated with cause by either party at any time, upon
the giving of thirty (30) days' written notice to the non-terminating party.

                            CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

A.       1.       All confidential and proprietary information provided by
                  either party ("Disclosing Party") to the other pursuant to
                  this Agreement (the "information"), other than such
                  information as may be generally available to the public or the
                  industry or as may be expressly intended by the Disclosing
                  Party to be disclosed by the other party is and will be
                  disclosed and received in confidence solely for the parties'
                  use in the conduct of their various business activities
                  hereunder. The parties agree to keep such information secret
                  and confidential and not to disclose it to any other

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
                  persons or use it during the term of this Agreement or for two
                  years after its termination except in carrying out its
                  obligations hereunder or in response to obligations imposed by
                  the GSST or an order of a court or regulatory body.
                  Notwithstanding the above, the parties may use customer
                  information obtained during this Agreement to sell their
                  respective products and services, even after the termination
                  of this Agreement. REPRESENTATIVE shall not solicit any
                  customers of COMPANY to change their current services with the
                  COMPANY using any of the information derived as a result of
                  this Agreement.
         2.       Both parties shall take effective precautions, contractual and
                  otherwise, reasonably calculated to prevent unauthorized
                  disclosure or misuse of the information by any of its
                  employees or by any other person having access to such
                  information.
         3.       Within ninety (90) days after the expiration or the
                  termination of this Agreement by either party for any reason,
                  the parties agree promptly to return to each other, or to
                  certify in writing the destruction of the information or any
                  physical or written records containing the information then in
                  its possession, regardless of whether such physical or written
                  records were prepared by either party. If either party is
                  served with process to obtain the information, that party
                  shall immediately notify the other party which shall, in
                  addition to the first party's efforts, if any, have the right
                  to seek to quash such process, or otherwise take such action
                  necessary to protect its proprietary interests in such
                  information.
         4.       The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event of
                  a breach of any of their obligations of confidentiality under
                  this Article, remedies at law may be inadequate and the
                  parties will also be entitled to seek injunctive relief.
         5.       Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either party from
                  disclosing information required under state or federal
                  securities laws.

B.       Inventions and Patent Rights.

         REPRESENTATIVE shall not be deemed by anything contained in or by
         reason of this Agreement or done pursuant to it to acquire any right,
         title or interest in or to any design, invention, improvement, process
         or system now or hereafter embodied in the Services sold, whether or
         not such design, invention, improvement, process or system is patented
         or patentable under the law of any country.

F.       Indemnification.

         1.       The parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless each other,
                  and their directors, officers, employees and agents and each
                  of them from and against any loss, costs, damages, claims,
                  expenses (including attorneys' fees) or liabilities by reason
                  of any injury to or death or disease of any person, damage to
                  or destruction, theft or loss of any property or other damages
                  arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with: (i) the
                  performance or nonperformance of the obligations contemplated
                  by this Agreement which is caused in whole or in substantial
                  part by any act, omission, default, or negligence of either
                  party or its employees or agents and regardless of whether the
                  parties' liability would otherwise be limited to payments
                  under state worker's compensation or similar laws; and (ii)
                  the failure of either party to comply with any of the terms
                  and conditions herein or the failure to conform to laws,
                  statutes, ordinances, or other regulations or requirements or
                  any governmental authority in connection with the performance
                  of the Services provided for in this Agreement, including
                  actions brought by the parties' employees under worker's
                  compensation or similar laws; and (iii) any and all claims,
                  liens and/or suits for labor and materials furnished at either
                  party's request.
         2.       The indemnifying party shall, at its own cost, expense, and
                  risk, defend any claim, suit, action or other legal proceeding
                  (collectively "action") for which it is hereunder obligated to
                  indemnify the other party. The indemnifying party shall
                  promptly pay and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be
                  rendered against the other party in any such action and shall
                  pay reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys' fees which may
                  be incurred by such party in connection therewith in enforcing
                  the indemnification provisions set forth above. Should either
                  party, in the judgment of the other party, ignore or fail to
                  properly handle or defend any such action, the indemnified
                  party may, at its option, assume and undertake, or join in the

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
                  handling or defense of any such action, and in that event the
                  indemnifying party will reimburse the indemnified party for
                  reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable expenses
                  incurred by it in handling or defending same, including any
                  reasonable amounts paid in settlement thereof or satisfaction
                  of any judgment rendered.

G.       Limitation of Liability.

         Notwithstanding anything contained in Article X.G. the COMPANY's
         liability and indemnity obligations relating to its provision of
         service to its customers are limited by specific provisions of its
         General Subscriber Services Tariff (GSST) in force and effect in the
         geographic areas covered under this Agreement.

H.       Liability Insurance.

         1.       REPRESENTATIVE shall take out, pay for, and at all times
                  during the performance of work hereunder maintain, such public
                  liability, contingent (protective), worker's compensation and
                  such liability insurance as will satisfy the foregoing
                  indemnity requirements of this Agreement and protect
                  REPRESENTATIVE and COMPANY from claims arising out of
                  REPRESENTATIVE'S performance under this Agreement. Such
                  insurance shall include comprehensive general liability,
                  bodily injury and property damage, including automobile and
                  broad form contractual liability covering liability assumed by
                  the REPRESENTATIVE under this Agreement. THE EXISTENCE OF
                  INSURANCE COVERAGE SHALL IN NO WAY ACT AS A LIMITATION OF
                  LIABILITY FOR REPRESENTATIVE'S ACTIONS TAKEN PURSUANT TO THIS
                  AGREEMENT.
         2.       Such insurance shall: (i) be primary insurance written on an
                  occurrence basis to the full limits of liability hereinafter
                  stated, and should COMPANY have other valid insurance,
                  COMPANY's insurance shall be excess insurance only; and (ii)
                  contain an endorsement stating that cancellation or expiration
                  of the policy to which this endorsement is attached shall not
                  become effective until after thirty (30) days advance written
                  notice has been delivered to COMPANY.
         3.       Without limiting the requirements set forth in this Section,
                  REPRESENTATIVE shall maintain insurance with coverage and
                  minimal limits of liability as follows:

                  a.       Worker's compensation and employers' liability
                           providing statutory coverage under the worker's
                           compensation and occupational disease laws of the
                           state where obligations are being performed under
                           this Agreement and employer's liability coverage with
                           limits of at least $1,000,000.
                  b.       Comprehensive general liability affording (i) bodily
                           injury liability (or death) with limits of $1,000,000
                           for each occurrence and where

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
                  applicable, $2,500,000 in the aggregate; and (ii) property
                  damage liability with limits of $1,000,000 for each occurrence
                  and $2,500,000 in the aggregate, such coverage to include
                  broad form contractual liability covering liability assumed
                  under this Agreement, and REPRESENTATIVE's contingent
                  (protective) liability with respect to work subcontracted by
                  the REPRESENTATIVE. Such subcontracting shall be permitted
                  only after written authorization by COMPANY.
         4.       In no event shall the provisions of this Section be construed
                  in any way to limit REPRESENTATIVE'S obligations under the
                  preceding paragraphs.
         5.       The insurance coverage required herein shall be through
                  policies issued by companies authorized to do business under
                  the laws of the state where the work is performed. The
                  insurance carrier must be rated by the latest edition of
                  Best's Insurance Guide, published by Alfred M. Best Company,
                  Inc. at no less than a "B+" Best Policyholders Rating and no
                  less than an "X" rating in Best's Financial Size Category.
         6.       All of such insurance, including renewals, shall be subject to
                  the approval of COMPANY for adequacy of protection, and
                  evidence of such coverages shall be furnished to COMPANY
                  indicating such insurance to be in force and effect.
                  Contemplated Certificates of Insurance shall be filed with
                  COMPANY prior to commencement of work hereunder.
         7.       The foregoing insurance requirements may be waived by COMPANY
                  if REPRESENTATIVE (i) has qualified and is certified as
                  self-insured under the laws of the state(s) in which
                  REPRESENTATIVE is authorized to perform under this Agreement
                  and (ii) has a net worth of at least five million
                  ($5,000,000.00) dollars or provides a guarantee of liability
                  suitable to COMPANY issued and executed by a company that has
                  a net worth of at least ten million ($10,000,000.00) dollars.
                  In the event of such waiver by COMPANY, REPRESENTATIVE agrees
                  to provide to COMPANY evidence, satisfactory to COMPANY, of
                  compliance with the terms set forth in (i) and (ii) above.

I.       Prohibited Relationships.

         REPRESENTATIVE warrants that no person or agency has been employed,
         retained, or directed to solicit or secure this Agreement upon an
         agreement or understanding for a commission percentage, brokerage,
         contingent fee, or other remuneration. The exchange of offering of any
         gift item, personal service entertainment or unusual hospitality
         ("gratuities") by either party of this Agreement to the other is
         expressly prohibited. This prohibition is equally applicable to either
         party's officers, employees, agents or immediate family members.
         COMPANY may, by written notice to REPRESENTATIVE, terminate the right
         of REPRESENTATIVE to proceed under this Agreement if it is found by
         COMPANY that gratuities are or have been offered or given by
         REPRESENTATIVE, its employees or agents, to any employee of COMPANY.

M.       Limitation of Actions.

         has arisen.

N.       Subcontracting/Assignment.

         The parties anticipate that REPRESENTATIVE will fulfill some of its
         sales obligations under this Agreement through sub-agents of
         REPRESENTATIVE. In such cases, the parties agree that they will work
         together to evaluate the performance of any such sub-agents in order to
         ensure that bother parties are satisfied with the quality, ethics and
         other business practices of such sub-agents. Notwithstanding the above,
         COMPANY reserves the right to have REPRESENTATIVE eliminate any
         sub-agent, that is performing in a manner or acting contrary to the
         COMPANY's legitimate business interests, from selling COMPANY's
         Services. REPRESENTATIVE will ensure that its contracts with any
         sub-agents provide that all provisions of such contracts that relate to
         the sale of COMPANY Services shall be subject to termination on ten
         (10) days' notice.

O.       Publicity.

         REPRESENTATIVE agrees to submit for review by COMPANY all press
         releases, and other publicity matters relating to this Agreement or

         agrees not to publish or use such as, press releases, or publicity
         matters without COMPANY's prior consent.

Q.       Severability.

         Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, each term and
         condition of this Agreement, and any portion thereof, shall be
         considered severable and if, for any reason, any such provision hereof
         is held to be invalid, contrary to, or in conflict with any applicable
         present or future law, regulation or public policy in a final,
         unappealable ruling issued by any court, agency or tribunal with
         competent jurisdiction in a proceeding to which COMPANY or
         REPRESENTATIVE is a party, that ruling shall not impair the operation
         of, or have any other effect upon, such other portions of this
         Agreement as may remain otherwise enforceable.

                               APPENDIX A

                              I. SERVICE TERRITORY

A.       Description of Service

         REPRESENTATIVE is authorized under this Agreement to sell the Services
         set forth in Section II below.

B.       Authorized Territories

         1.       REPRESENTATIVE shall be appointed as an authorized sales
                  representative to sell certain designated COMPANY Products and
                  Services to prospective customers in the geographic areas in
                  the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South
                  Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida in
                  which COMPANY provides its Products and Services.

         2.       Areas in which COMPANY does not provide Products and Services
                  are not included and REPRESENTATIVE is not authorized to sell,
                  or to attempt to sell, COMPANY Products and Services in those
                  areas.

C.       Sales Commissions/Terms and Conditions

         1.       Commissions shall be paid to REPRESENTATIVE for the sales of
                  Products and Services as set forth in Appendix A.II herein.

         2.       Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement,
                  COMPANY reserves the right to market its Products and Services
                  directly (a) through COMPANY's own sales force, COMPANY's
                  other Affiliated Companies or through other sales
                  representatives, (b) to customers requesting such Service
                  directly from COMPANY, and (c) to any customers wishing to
                  obtain such products and services from COMPANY.

         3.       Only orders which have been submitted through the
                  COMPANY-designated order channel(s) and have been submitted
                  using COMPANY's sales terms and conditions will be considered
                  eligible sales for commissions.

         4.       A sale of services to a customer shall be recognized and
                  accounted for when such services to that customer are
                  established. COMPANY retains sole discretion to determine
                  customer class of service pursuant to its valid tariffs filed
                  and effective from time to time, and the corresponding
                  compensation category and amount due for sale of any services
                  will be applied based on such customer class of service.
                  Should

                                      -i-
<PAGE>

                  REPRESENTATIVE submit any order for an improper class of
                  service, COMPANY may either reject such order outright or
                  correct the order via COMPANY's own processes, and pay
                  REPRESENTATIVE the compensation due for the corrected order.
                  Repeated errors in order entry procedures and accuracy may be
                  grounds for termination of this Agreement.

         5.       Should this Agreement be terminated before the installation of
                  any services sold by REPRESENTATIVE, commissions will be paid
                  if REPRESENTATIVE completes its obligations as set forth in
                  this Agreement.

         6.       COMPANY shall gave the option to recapture, through
                  compensation true-ups or otherwise, commissions previously
                  paid to REPRESENTATIVE on any sales of services which remain
                  installed for less than ninety (90) days. Should any customer
                  have its services disconnected prior to the aforementioned
                  time, COMPANY may recover any or all commissions paid to
                  REPRESENTATIVE for that sale, via the true-up mechanism
                  described above. Generally, the true-up shall take the form of
                  a negative adjustment to the commission payment otherwise due
                  to REPRESENTATIVE for the period during which the true-up
                  adjustment accrued. COMPANY may also elect to make direct
                  demand of REPRESENTATIVE for remittance of the applicable
                  amounts subject to recapture under this section.

         7.       COMPANY will pay commissions, subject to Section 6 above, on a
                  periodic basis determined by the parties, net of true-ups.
                  Upon the termination of this Agreement, the final month's
                  commission payment will be delayed no less than thirty (30)
                  days but no more than sixty (60) days after the last
                  commissionable installation so as to ensure that such payment
                  includes all true-ups associated with the service period.

         8.       REPRESENTATIVE agrees that it will not sell any Service to any
                  person, corporation or entity that is not the end-user of the
                  Service.

         9.       COMPANY shall compensate REPRESENTATIVE in a manner, and at
                  levels, at least equal to those applied to other similarly
                  situated sales representatives of COMPANY. To the extent
                  REPRESENTATIVE, or other sales representatives, performs
                  additional or enhanced services vis-<W066>-vis other sales
                  representatives, then variances in compensation levels may

                         CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT

         BellSouth does business with thousands of contractors and suppliers. It
is a fundamental policy of BellSouth that such dealings shall be conducted on a
fair and impartial basis, free from improper influences, so that all
participating contractors and suppliers may be considered on the basis of the
quality and cost of their product or service.

         We are also committed to doing business with contractors and suppliers
in an atmosphere that is in keeping with the highest standards of business
ethics. Although we recognize that the exchange of gifts and entertainment is
customary in some businesses, we believe this practice often raises embarrassing
questions about the motives of both the giver and receiver.

         Therefore, this company has for some time followed a policy that its
employees shall not accept from customers, suppliers of property, goods, or
services, or from any other persons, any gifts, benefits, or unusual hospitality
that may in any way tend to influence them, or have the appearance of
influencing them, in the performance of their jobs.

         Employees of BellSouth who are authorized to make purchases or
negotiate contracts are aware of this policy.

         We believe that firm adherence to this policy will help establish
better business relationships between BellSouth and its contractors and
suppliers. We solicit your cooperation in achieving that objective.
