         WHEREAS, Client desires to obtain additional services from ALLTEL and
ALLTEL is wiling to provide such services pursuant to the terms and conditions
contained herein;

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

1.       The following new Section 7 shall be added to Exhibit A to the
         Agreement:

         "7.      CD-ROM BILLING SERVICES. ALLTEL shall provide certain business
                  customers of Client (as set forth in Section 7.2 hereof) with
                  the ability to receive bills in both a printed format and
                  CD-ROM (as described in Section 7.1 hereof).

                  7.1      DESCRIPTION OF CD-ROM BILLING SERVICES.

                           (a)      ALLTEL will take data from the bill image
                                    (current paper bill print) and write that
                                    data to a file after each bill cycle. The
                                    data will then be burned onto a CD-ROM in a
                                    format that will allow for viewing with
                                    Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and/or
                                    Microsoft Access. ALLTEL will not be
                                    responsible for providing software necessary
                                    for the end-user to read or manipulate the
                                    file. The file format will be
                                    comma-delimited and will be accessible by
                                    software packages that can open and
                                    manipulate comma-delimited files. ALLTEL
                                    will work with a Client representative to
                                    explain how the file can be read, so in turn
                                    Client can respond to any customer questions
                                    regarding the reading of the CD-ROM.

                           (b)      The CD-ROM format will only consolidate or
                                    disperse billing accounts to the degree in
                                    which such accounts are consolidated and
                                    dispersed through the account setup in CAMS.
                                    The exit criteria for completing the
                                    development work on the CD-ROM is the
                                    ability for Client's customers to receive a
                                    copy of their bill on a CD-ROM in the
                                    comma-delimited file format including the
                                    accuracy and completeness of the data
                                    elements currently received on their paper
                                    bill. Changes within the CD-ROM will be
                                    reflected only upon completion of updates
                                    within CAMS. If requests are made to access
                                    or produce the CD-ROM bill from previous

                                    destination that is set up within CAMS for
