RE:     2005 COMPENSATION PLAN - EXHIBIT A
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The compensation plan for 2005 while you are employed as Executive Vice
President & Chief Administrative Officer for West Corporation is outlined below:

1.   Your base salary will be $225,000.00. Should you elect to voluntarily
     terminate your employment, you will be compensated for your services as an
     employee through the date of your actual termination per your Employment
     Agreement.

2.   Effective January 1, 2005, you will be eligible to receive a performance
     bonus based on consolidated net income growth for West Corporation in 2005.
     Net income for each quarter will be compared to the same quarter in the
     previous year. Non cash expenses resulting from expensing options as a
     result of any amendments to FASB123 will be excluded from this calculation.
     Each $1M increase of Net Income over 2004 Net Income will result in a
     $10,700 bonus. 75% of the quarterly bonus earned will be paid within thirty
     (30) days from the end of the quarter. 100% of the total bonus earned will
     be paid within thirty (30) days of the final determination of 2005 Net
     Income.

     Please note that if there is a negative year-to date profit calculation at
     the end of any quarter, this will result in a "loss carry forward" to be
     applied to the next quarterly or year-to-date calculation.

3.   All Net Income objectives are based upon West Corporation operations and
     will not include net income derived from mergers or acquisitions unless
     specifically and individually approved by West Corporation's Compensation
     Committee.

4.   At the discretion of management, you may receive an additional bonus based
     on the Company's and your individual performance.

5.   Your Compensation Plan for the year 2006 will be presented in December,
     2005.

6.   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.
