TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Carrier Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into between InfiniCom
Networks, Inc. ("INFINICOM") and FoneFriend, Inc. ("FFRD").
1. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT.

services ("Local Services") as described herein and in one or more
service schedule(s) ["Service Schedule(s)"] attached hereto and made a

the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement.
2. SERVICE SCHEDULES
A. GENERAL. INFINICOM Services requested by FFRD shall be set forth on
the Service Schedule(s) and their Exhibits which are attached hereto
and when subscribed by the parties shall become a part of this

1 of 1
B. SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
a) REQUESTED CAPACITY/MINIMUM MONTHLY USAGE COMMITMENT: The Service
Schedule(s) shall set forth FFRD's requested capacity ("Requested
Capacity") and may provide for a minimum monthly usage commitment
("Minimum Monthly Usage Commitment") for a specified monthly billing
period or periods (see "Minimum Service Term" paragraph 2 B (b)
below) provided in the Schedule(s), or for the Service Term as
provided in Paragraph 8 below. Where so provided, Minimum Monthly
Usage Commitment shall mean FFRD's agreed upon usage of the
INFINICOM Services designated in the Service Schedule(s) at the Tier
4 rates specifically set forth therein. Otherwise the rates set
forth in Service Schedule(s) shall be Tier 3 rates, where provided,
or the Tier 2 or Tier 1 rates. Rates set forth in Service Schedules
do not include any applicable taxes (including without limitation,
federal, state or local use, excise, gross receipts, sales and
privilege taxes) or duties, fees or similar liabilities and
tax-related surcharges on Local Services.
b) MINIMUM SERVICE TERM. The Schedule(s) may provide for a minimum
service term ("Minimum Service Term") within the Service Term during
which FFRD agrees to meet its Minimum Monthly Usage Commitment. The
Minimum Service Term may also include one or more ramp-up periods
(monthly, unless otherwise specified) for each of which there shall
be a specified Minimum Monthly Usage Commitment until the Minimum
Monthly Usage Commitment for the Minimum Service Term shall be
reached and maintained. Any Tier 4 and Tier 3 rates for Local
Services provided for in the attached Schedule(s) shall remain in
effect for the Service Term or until this Agreement is otherwise
terminated or modified. Upon the expiration of the Minimum Service
Term for any Local Services in question, the Local Services will
continue to be provided on a month to month basis subject to
termination by either party upon 30 days prior written notice to the
other party. FFRD shall be liable to pay INFINICOM for those charges
related to all such Local Services in question whether (i) during
the Minimum Service Term or (ii) any month-to-month continuation
thereof, on the terms and at the rates in effect as of the next to
last month of the Minimum Service Term for such Local Services,
without pro-ration.
c) UNDER-UTILIZATION: Where Minimum Monthly Usage Commitments are
agreed to, if FFRD's use of INFINICOM Services is less than the
Minimum Monthly Usage Commitment for that month, FFRD will pay the
amount billed plus the difference between the amount billed and the
charges based upon the Minimum Monthly Usage Commitment for the
month in question, including for any Ramp Period.
d) LOCAL SERVICES USAGE FORECAST: To enable INFINICOM adequately to
forecast FFRD's demand for Local Services capacity, FFRD shall
provide INFINICOM with a forecast of projected usage ("Local
Services Usage Forecast") for any month where greater than 200,000
new subscribers are projected. (referred to as a "High Growth
Month"). The forecast shall be delivered to InfiniCom at least three
months prior to the beginning of the High Growth Month.
2 of 2
e) LOCAL SERVICES SURCHARGE: INFINICOM reserves the right to impose a
monthly surcharge on Local Services ("Local Services Surcharge") to
each High Growth Month in the amount of $0.13 for each new
subscriber above 80,000 new subscribers in such High Growth Month if
FFRD does NOT submit a Local Services Usage Forecast or (b) in
excess of 125% of the FFRD's Local Services Usage Forecast for such
High Growth Month.
3. RATES AND ADDITIONAL TERMS. FFRD shall pay the rates and charges for
INFINICOM Services set forth herein and in the Service Schedule(s) and
Exhibit(s) thereto attached to this Agreement and FFRD expressly agrees
to the additional terms and conditions set forth in the Service
Schedule(s) and Exhibit(s).
4. SECURITY
(a) None
(b)Nothing contained herein shall limit or be interpreted to limit
INFINICOM's right to require, in INFINICOM's sole discretion,
alternative or additional security from FFRD which shall be
reasonable and consistent with industry standards. FFRD's failure or
refusal to provide such alternative or additional security upon
INFINICOM's reasonable request therefor may result in the
cancellation of this Agreement and the INFINICOM Service for cause.
The security arrangements provided for hereunder shall survive the
expiration of the Service Term, as defined herein, and shall remain
in effect so long as FFRD remains a user or has any outstanding
balance due for use of INFINICOM Services.
5. PAYMENT.
(a)In addition to any of the other payment or security provisions
hereof, FFRD shall pay the charges as defined in this Agreement and
in the attached Service Schedule(s) within five (5) business days of
their execution by FFRD.
(b)Unless and except as special payment terms are provided for in the
Service Schedule(s), FFRD shall pay INFINICOM for all INFINICOM
Service(s) with immediately available funds such as via bank wire
transfer or other means acceptable to INFINICOM and received by
INFINICOM no later than the fifth (5th) business day after delivery
of INFINICOM's invoice therefor (the "Payment Due Date"). INFINICOM
shall issue its invoice on Tuesday of each week, or if Tuesday is
not a Business Day (as herein defined), the next Business Day. As
defined in this Agreement, a "Business Day" is Monday through Friday
except nationally recognized Holidays. The invoice is considered
delivered the following Business Day after acceptance by Federal
Express, UPS or US Mail providing for next day delivery to the
address given for billing by FFRD as referenced in Paragraph 12 of
this Agreement. The invoice will contain a paper summary and a
CD-ROM detail of call records, adjustments, payments and other
relevant transactional data.

(c)In the event FFRD fails to pay the invoice amount or any surety or
deposit amount in full by the date due for such invoice, surety or
deposit, INFINICOM shall have the right, after giving FFRD five (5)
Business Days prior written notice, to suspend all or any portion of
the Local Services to FFRD until such time as FFRD has paid in full
all amounts then due, including any late fees. Following such
payment, INFINICOM shall be required to reinstate Local Services to
FFRD only upon provision by FFRD to INFINICOM of satisfactory
security to assure FFRD's ability to pay for Local Services and
FFRD's advance payment of the costs of reinstating such Local
Services which shall be reasonable and customary. If FFRD fails to
make to INFINICOM such payment, including any required security and
reinstatement costs within thirty (30) days from the suspension of
service, FFRD will be deemed to have canceled the suspended
International Service effective as of the date of Suspension.
Exercise of its rights hereunder shall not limit or preclude
INFINICOM from exercising any other rights available to it pursuant
to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding notice of termination, FFRD further agrees that it will

discrepancies shall be deemed barred and INFINICOM shall not be
obligated to consider same. If such claims cannot be resolved by
informal discussion, they shall be settled by binding arbitration.

satisfaction of certain conditions which are hereinafter set forth, including
material covenants and conditions relating to a Marketing and Services Agreement
and a Carrier Agreement, among other things, all as described and incorporated
herein and to which this Agreement is attached as Appendix 9; and
B. The Shares will constitute a majority of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Company and will vest in InfiniCom control of the Company

desire to assure themselves that certain terms, conditions and covenants are
agreed to as follows to assure the mutual beneficial interests of the parties

determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of InfiniCom
to acquire the Shares.
