PART I. PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT

SECTION 1. MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT

This Agreement dated August 1, 1998, is made by and between Cortelco
Systems, Inc. (hereafter referred to as "CSI") and CMC Manufacturing, Inc.
(hereafter referred to as "CMC").

PART II. PERFORMANCE

SECTION 2. ORDERS AND DELIVERY

2.1. FORECASTS. The actual authorization to perform work under this
Agreement will be given by CSI in the form of a combined "Firm Delivery and
Forecast" schedule. This forecast shall have a two months firm delivery schedule
with confirming Purchase Order and shall have an additional (4) month forecast.
CSI will have financial responsibility for those long-lead components (lead time
of 75 days or greater) listed in Exhibit B. CSI's responsibility for these
components will be limited to the quantity required consistent with the quantity
of assemblies reflected on the forecast and the individual component's stated
lead time. CSI shall not be liable for any other costs incurred by CMC in its
anticipation of product quantities in excess of the quantities set forth in the
Purchase Orders or the forecast. CSI is not responsible for any work performed
in excess of that authorized by CSI in such Purchase Orders. Furthermore, CMC
shall fulfill such requests only when a valid CSI purchase order number has been
issued by CSI.

2.2. PURCHASE ORDER(S). CSI will issue Purchase Orders with
applicable part numbers to CMC for products required in the Firm Delivery
Schedule. The Purchase Order is the authorization by CSI to offer materials,
allocate labor or equipment, or enter into any other commitments for the
assembly of the Product(s).

2.3. DELIVERY SCHEDULE. Delivery of Products hereunder shall be made
on a daily basis. The quantity of Products to be Delivered shall be determined
by the confirming Purchase Orders issued by CSI to CMC.

2.4. DELIVERY SCHEDULE CHANGES. CSI may increase or decrease the
Base Quantity for any month on Purchase Order ten percent (10%) of the Base
Quantity amount, at no additional cost to CSI, provided CSI provides notice of
such change no later than close of business of the last business day prior to
the affected month. However, the decreased quantity must be rescheduled for
delivery sometime within the forecasted time frame.
