               requirements of this Agreement.

               productive purposes prior to Acceptance, provided such use is not
               part of the Acceptance Testing; or

any other remedy, the Purchaser may elect to:

        7.7.1 Agree to an extension of time for the completion of the Acceptance
              Tests;

Note 2: Based upon 21.65 working days in a month


                                  Exhibit "D"

Our  business  plan  calls  for  direct  selling   of  advertising  as  well  as
gathering of data from customers, specifically, fax numbers, cell phone numbers,
pager numbers, and email addresses. Based upon our focus group studies we expect
that a sales person will be able to get in front of a decision maker at least 10
times each working day (21.65  working days in a month).  Here is what we expect
to happen when a decision maker is presented to.

-  At  a  minimum the  sales person  will capture the additional  information as
   applicable to the business (fax numbers,  pager numbers,  cell phone numbers,
   and  email  address) This  information will  be added to the  data base at no
   charge,  so  each sales call/presentation should result in a down load to the
   server of basic  no charge data.  Therefore we need to pla n and expect  that
   the  server  will have 10  basic data down loads per sales person per working
   day.

-  We  expect to sell an  electronic display ad or mini web site  2-4  times per
   working day.  Therefore we need to plan and expect that  the server will have
   to capture these more complex  downloads per the projections in  the chart on
   page one.

Here is the vision of  what we are direct  selling and therefore what we need in
the way of software and hardware:

- A  Internet  business  telephone  book/yellow page  site,  all  United  States
  Businesses with Map locator (date  base from Map Quest and Info  USA) Software
  requirement: how is  it hosted  in our  servers and it needs a search e ngine,
  needs to get updated with our captured data (cell phone numbers, fax numbers')
  our data needs to be identified as ours not Map Quest of buy data bases.
- The base level is no sale, no charge, just data capture
- The second level is a listing, which is  upgraded to High Lighted  bold (red?)
  with a more info  button that connects the  user to the customers existing web
  site. Software requirement:  Need to be able to manipulate the data  base line
  listing to high lighted bold and add the more info button/link to the existing
  web site.  All customers who  buy any level offering  will have a  highlighted
  bold line listing and the more info button/link  to their ad, mini-web site or
  full web site.  The high lighting  and link will be  done by the sales person,
  real time in the field and then downloaded to the server each night
- The third  level is the electronic display ad.  This is a  one-page ad that is
  printable in  8.5" by 11".  The ad will have all business information and drop
  in pictures. Software requirements: since the ad will be built on a lap top in
  front of the customer,  real time  we need  the templates  (aprox 12 graphics/
  templates).  Each template  must allow  for some  customization  (back  ground
  color, fonts,  picture location...)  and be printable creating a  sales flyer.
  Pictures  taken using  a digital  camera should be able to be dropped into the
  ad.
-  The  fourth level  is a  mini-web site.  It is the  above electronic display,
   multiple pages (up to 5) and printable to create a multi-page  flyer/brochure
  (menu...) that is customer changeable using a password. Software requirements:
   All of the above plus pass word protection customer changes via  the Internet
   access.
- The  fifth level is  a full electronic  commerce web  site hosted by us on our
  server. Software requirement: we need  to be able to build  and host  the site
  including secure payment service...

                                   Exhibit "D"

Other software requirements:

- Each night when the salesperson downloads  the sales we want .him to receive a
  notice  of how many  sales he has made,  how much money  he has made  thru the
  current download, how much more he needs to sell to get to the next level, and
  any messages etc we want to send to him.  This daily download process  will be
  the main method of communicating with the sales force.
- The server/software must talk to  the billing fulfillment center  for customer
  billing purpose.  No money will be collected in the field.  All customers will
  be billed after the sale. The server/software must talk to the payroll service
  for paycheck purpose.
- We need you to build the web site www.bizfmders  (domain name is registered to
  us and trademark is applied for).
- We need a corporate web site built for Communicate Now.com Inc. (trying to buy
  www.communicatenow.com)  and  we   have   the  domain   name   registered   as
  www.communicatenow-usa.com   as   well  as   www.communicatenow-aisa.com   and
  www.communicatenow-china.com.  The  trademark  application   is   pending  for
  Communicate Now.com Inc.
- The  actual  sales   presentation/lap  top   presentation  in  something  1ike
  Powerpoint  (Powerpoint takes to much drive spate  so we will need to write it
  in something else).


Anna,  this  is  highly  condensed  but  should  give you  the basic  vision.  I
would like to go over this in more  detail  with you via phone when we both have
some time. Charles just informed me he cannot come to California this week. I am
still trying to get a schedule out of MG Securities  and as soon as I know where
I stand on making the closing  pitch to some of their big players I can schedule
a time with you. I am planning to try to get to you on Wednesday or Thursday.

I  have  discussed  with  MG  the  fact  that I  want the  opportunity  to raise
money on my own and with some other sources. Of course they want some points for
turning loose of the whole deal but are willing to let this happen so if you and
Tina want to place some of the private  placement with your people I can work it
out.

Please give me a call when you have time.

Sincerely,



David Hancock
President
