TO THE CALL CENTER SERVICE AGREEMENT
Dated as of September 21, 2000 by and between
AmericasDoctor Internet Opertions, Inc.
And Medical Advisory Systems, Inc.
ADDENDUM NO. 4, dated as of September 21, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), by
and between AmericasDoctor Internet Operations, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("AD"), and Medical Advisory Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MAS").
The parties hereto entered into the Call Center Service Agreement dated
July 2, 1998, as amended by Addendum Nos. 1, 2, and 3 thereto (the "Agreement"),
a wish to amend the Agreement as provided herein. Accordingly, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. During the Term of the Agreement, MAS may enter into agreements or
arrangements with web sites or vendors other than AD to provide
real-time Internet one-on-one medical chat services. AD shall obtain
real-time Internet one-on-one medical chat services from licensed
health care providers exclusively from MAS during the Term of this
Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein will require AD to
use MAS in the provisions of its "Expert Chat" service. In the event
that MAS provides real-time Internet one-on-one medical chat services
to U.S. residents that are not derived from AD pursuant to this
Agreement ("Non-AD U.S. Chats"), MAS shall pay AD a royalty of $0.75
per Non-AD U.S. Chat for each chat in excess of 30,000 per month. The
royalty will be payable to AD 30 days after receipt of payment by MAS.
2. MAS shall purchase the Equipment listed on Schedule A, attached hereto
and made a part hereof, from AD for $77,000. Payment will be made to AD
within thirty days of the Effective Date (the "Closing Date"). As of
the Closing Date, Section II of the Agreement will be deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following: "All equipment, including
connections, furnishings and software purchased by MAS for the AD Call
Center (the "Equipment"), shall be titled in the name of and owned by
MAS."
3. MAS hereby has the option, in its sole discretion and subject to
receipt of the requisite approvals from third parties and completion of
due diligence satisfactory to MAS within sixty (60) days of the date
hereof, to obtain from AD a nontransferable sublicense to use the
software created Jaspin Interactive, Inc. and currently utilized by AD
in the provision of real time Internet one-on-one medical chat services
(the "Chat Tool") in exchange for an aggregate Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000). The sublicense shall expire on December 31, 2001. Such
sublicense will be evidenced by a sublicense agreement to be entered
into between the parties upon exercise of MAS' option and acceptable to
both parties. AD agrees to authorize Jaspin to release to MAS
information about the number of chats being performed by MAS on behalf
of AD. AD represents and warrants to MAS that it is not required to use
the software licensed to it by Jaspin for its real-time Internet
one-on-one medial chat services to U.S. residents. If MAS decides not
to purchase the above-referenced sublicense, it may select another
software provider to provide real-time Internet one-on-one medical chat
services, which software provides a substantially similar level of
quality and functionality as presently provided by the Chat Tool.
4. Section 15 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
5. Section 16(a) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirely and replaced
with the following: "MAS shall xxxx AD monthly for services provided to
AD under the terms of this Agreement. Payment shall be due ten (10)
days after receipt of MAS' invoice by AD. If and when MAS' total
monthly bills to AD exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), MAS
may, at its option, xxxx AD every two (2) weeks." Section 16(b) of the
Agreement is deleted in its entirely and replaced with the following:
"AD shall pay MAS a monthly access fee of $50,000, which shall include
payment for 1,000 Call Center chats ("Call Center Chat") to be
performed during that month by MAS or $10,000 of value of other
medical-related, mutually agreed upon services provided by MAS to AD
(collectively, the
"Services"). Call Center Chats shall consist of one-on-one chats
regarding general medical information, averaging approximately seven
minutes in duration. The $50,000 fee referred to above shall be the
sole administrative or overhead fee payable to AD to MAS during the
Term. In the event that AD does not use the Services in any calendar
month. AD shall not receive a credit for any Services not provided,
including, but not limited to, chats not used by AD. In addition to the
monthly access fee, for all Call Center Chats performed for AD from
1,001 up to and including 35,000 per month, AD shall pay MAS a per-chat
fee of $10. For each Call Center Chat performed for AD in excess of
35,000, AD shall pay MAS a per chat fee of $9. AD shall not be required
to order any minimum number of chats from MAS. MAS shall not, during
the Term, sell real-time Internet one-on-one medical chat services to
any third party on a per chat basis for a price that is less than the
per chat price charged to AD unless MAS lowers the price per chat
charged to AD to the same level as that charged by MAS to the third
party being charged the lowest per chat price on a per chat basis."

MAS shall use its reasonable best efforts to accommodate AD's estimated
volume. If, within six (6) business days following receipt of notice
from AD pursuant to the foregoing sentence, MAS notified AD that it
will be unable, despite using its reasonable best efforts, to
accommodate a portion of AD's estimated volume (the "Unfulfilled Call
Volume"), MAS shall not be liable to AD for its failure to provide such
Unfulfilled Call Volume; provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including without
limitation, in Section 1 of this Addendum or Section 18(a) of the
Agreement), AD shall be permitted to enter into agreements or
arrangements with web sites or vendors other than MAS to provide such
Unfulfilled Call Volume. MAS shall not be liable for its failure to
perform any Call Center Chats in excess of 110% of the number of Call
Center Chats ordered by AD for any month during the Term and AD shall
pay MAS for 90% of the number of Call Center Chats ordered in writing
by AD for any month during the Term regardless of whether such Call
Center Chats are actually used during such month.

xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. In the event that DocTalk receives calls
derived from AD's promotion of the DocTalk services (as determined by

received by MAS for each call. The commission will be payable to AD 30
