Dear Curt,

On behalf of Arbinet Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), I am pleased to extend to
you an offer of employment in accordance with the following terms:

     1.   Title and Position. Effective immediately following your acceptance of
          this offer you will serve as an executive of the Company, initially as
          President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. After an initial
          period, not to exceed year end, December 31, 2000, you will be
          appointed to the position of Chief Executive Officer. You will report
          to the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors
          of the Company until your appointment as Chief Executive Officer;
          thereafter, you will report to the Board of Directors.

     2.   Duties and Obligations. During your employment, you will devote your
          full business time, interest and effort to the performance of your
          duties with the Company. You will have during the initial period as
          President and COO, all of the functions of the Company reporting to
          you other than the Founder, Finance, Business Development and Legal.
          Subsequent to your appointment as Chief Executive Officer, these
          functions will also report to you.

     3.   Employment Relationship. Should you decide to accept the Company's
          offer, your employment will be "at-will" and your employment may be
          terminated by either you or the Company at any time for any reason (or
          no reason), by providing sixty (60) days prior written notice to the
          other party. Further, your participation in any Company benefit or
          equity program does not constitute an agreement by the Company to
          employ or continue to employ you for any period of time.

     4.   Salary. While you are employed on a full-time basis by the Company,
          the Company will pay you abase salary, which annualizes to $300,000,
          payable in accordance with the usual payroll practices of the Company
          including the withholding of all income and

          employment taxes. You will receive a one time "sign-on" bonus of
          $200,000 upon commencement of employment, payable pursuant to your
          instructions. At the time of your appointment as Chief Executive
          Officer, your salary will be increased to $400,000 annually.
          Thereafter, your base salary will be reviewed by the Compensation
          Committee of the Board of Directors on an annual basis and may be
          subject to adjustment upward based on various factors including,
          without limitation, your performance and the Company's achievement of
          its business plan (as determined by the Board of Directors).

     5.   Equity.

          (a)  The Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof)
               will grant to you, in the form of stock options ("Options"), the
               right to purchase 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock of the
               Company, at the lowest available employee plan price as of the
               acceptance of this offer (the current employee plan exercise
               price as approved by the Board of Directors on March 12th, 1999
               is approximately $5.71), subject to minor adjustments to the
               capitalization table and the following vesting schedule: such
               Options will become exercisable as to l/48th of the Options on
               the last day of each full month you are employed by the Company
               (the "Vesting Dates"), provided you are employed by the Company
               on the applicable Vesting Dates. To the maximum extent
               permissible, these will be incentive stock option as defined by
               the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and
               the Arbinet Holdings, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock
               Plan").

          (b)  At your option, you will be provided with a loan to acquire the
               Option shares at the current option price. The vesting schedule
               will be replaced by an agreement for the Company to repurchase
               the unvested shares at the exercise price. This agreement for
               repurchase will expire as to the option to repurchase at the rate
               of 1/48th of the shares per month. In the event you elect this
               option, the original Option shares will be vested co-incident
               with the execution of the loan agreement and repurchase option
               granted by you to the Company to permit your immediate purchase.

          (c)  Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Plan and Section 7
               below, you shall forfeit to the Company (without compensation)
               all unvested Options on the date your employment with the Company
               terminates.

          (d)  If you have not been appointed as Chief Executive Officer, then
               in the event of termination of your employment by the Company in
               the 12 months following a change of control of more than 50% of
               the Company's voting stock, other than an IPO (a "Change of
               Control"), all unvested options will accelerate, and become
               exercisable or, alternatively, all repurchase rights will expire
               (collectively, the "Acceleration"). If you have been appointed as
               Chief Executive Officer, then Acceleration will occur upon a
               Change of Control.

          (e)  Following a termination of employment you will have six (6)
               months to exercise all vested options unless a longer period is
               provided in the stock option plan or agreement.

               this letter is in consideration for the provisions contained in

               competition or solicitation of employees or customers is found by
               any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because
               it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a
               range of activities or over too broad a geographic area, it shall
               be interpreted to extend over a maximum period of time, range of
               activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.
               You further acknowledge and consent that the Company would by
