Re:        2002 Compensation Plan - Exhibit A

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2002 compensation plan for your employment as President of West Interactive
Corporation is as follows:

1.       Your base salary will be $200,000.00. Should your employment terminate
         before the end of the year, you will be compensated for your services
         through the date of your actual termination per your Employment
         Agreement. This will be reviewed on an annual basis and revised, if
         necessary, in accordance with the consumer price index.

2.       You are eligible to receive up to $250,000 annual performance bonus for
         meeting your plan objective in pre-tax, pre-corporate allocations
         income. Any such bonus will be paid quarterly and be calculated by
         dividing the year-to-date pre-tax, pre-corporate allocation income by
         the plan year pre-tax, pre-corporate allocation and multiplying that
         factor times the annual bonus amount minus bonuses paid year-to-date
         for the respective calendar year.

3.       In addition, you will be eligible to receive an additional bonus for
         pre-tax, pre-corporate allocation income in excess of plan. If West
         Interactive Corporation exceeds their pre-tax, pre-corporate allocation
         income plan by $10,000,000, you will receive a $200,000 bonus. Any
         excess between plan and the $10,000,000 objective will be paid
         pro-rata.

4.       All pre-tax profit and net income objectives are based upon West
         Interactive Corporation operations. Profit and income derived from
         mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or other non-operating income
         will be reviewed by the Company upon completion of the transaction to
         determine inclusion in the compensation plan. In the event West
         Corporation changes its business plan or acquires another company, West
         Interactive Corporation reserves the right to review your compensation
         package and revise, in its sole discretion, as it deems appropriate.

5.       The benefit plans, as referenced in Section 7(i), shall include
         insurance plans based upon eligibility pursuant to the plans. If the
         insurance plans do not provide for continued participation, the
         continuation of benefits shall be pursuant to COBRA. In the event
         Employee's benefits continue pursuant to COBRA and Employee accepts new
         employment during the consulting term, Employee may continue benefits
         thereafter to the extent allowed under COBRA. In no event shall
         benefits plans include the 401K Plan or the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan.

                                                       /s/ Steve Stangl
                                                    -----------------------
