PURCHASE AGREEMENT

August 15, 2006

JEFFERIES & COMPANY, INC.

520 Madison Avenue, 12th Floor

New York, New York 10022

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Broadview Networks Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the
guarantors signatory hereto (the “Initial Guarantors” and, together with the ATX Guarantors
(as defined below) upon their becoming parties hereto pursuant to Section 5(q), the
“Guarantors”), jointly and severally, hereby agree (this “Agreement”) with you as
follows:

     1. Issuance of Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the Company
proposes to issue and sell to Jefferies & Company, Inc. (the “Initial Purchaser”)
$210,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 113/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (each a
“Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an
indenture (the “Indenture”), to be dated as of August 23, 2006, by and among the Company,
the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent
(the “Collateral Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the “Description of the Notes—Certain Definitions” section of the Offering
Circular.

     The Notes will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Upon
original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the
applicable requirements of the Act, the Notes shall bear the legends set forth in the final
offering circular related to the issuance of the Notes, dated the date hereof (the “Final
Offering Circular”). The Company has prepared a preliminary offering circular, dated August 4,
2006, as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement, dated August 14, 2006 (collectively,
the “Preliminary Offering Circular”), and the Final Offering Circular relating to the offer
and sale of the Notes (the “Offering”). “Offering Circular” means, as of any date or time
referred to in this Agreement, the most recent offering circular (whether the Preliminary Offering
Circular or the Final Offering Circular, and any amendment or supplement to either such document),
including, without limitation, exhibits and schedules thereto.

     2. Terms of Offering. The Initial Purchaser has advised the Company, and the Company
understands, that the Initial Purchaser will make offers to sell (the “Exempt Resales”)
some or all of the Notes purchased by the Initial Purchaser hereunder on the terms set forth in the
Final Offering Circular, as amended or supplemented, to persons (the “Subsequent
Purchasers”) (i) outside the United States in

 

 

compliance with Regulation S of the Act, or (ii) whom the Initial Purchaser (A) reasonably believes
to be “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Act (“QIBs”), as
such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (B) reasonably believes (based upon written
representations made by such persons to the Initial Purchaser) to be institutional “accredited
investors” (“Accredited Investors”) as defined in Rule 501(a)(l), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Act.

     Pursuant to the Indenture, all Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company (other than
Immaterial Subsidiaries) as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) and all future Domestic
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company (other than future Immaterial Subsidiaries), jointly and
severally, shall fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior secured basis, to each holder of
the Notes and the Trustee, the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under the
Indenture and the Notes (each such guarantee being referred to herein as a “Guarantee”).

     Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (as defined in the Indenture),
all of the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes will be
secured by a lien and security interest on substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’
assets, subject to certain exceptions; provided, however, that pursuant to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, the security interest in those assets consisting of receivables,
inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts and certain other assets that secure the Notes and
Guarantees (other than the Escrow Account (as defined below) and funds and investment property on
deposit therein or credited thereto and certain other excluded assets) will be contractually
subordinated to the lien of the Administrative Agent (as defined below) that secures the
obligations (i) under the Company’s new $25.0 credit agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date
(the “New Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, as
borrowers, the lenders party thereto and The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., as administrative
agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and (ii) certain other permitted Indebtedness, in each
case, to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

     Concurrently with the sale of the Notes on the Closing Date, the Company intends to use a portion
of the proceeds to, among other things, (i) repay all of the indebtedness outstanding under that
certain amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility, dated as of January 14, 2005
(the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among the Company, other persons designated as “Credit
Parties” on the signature pages thereof, each Lender signatory thereto, and NTFC Capital
Corporation, as Administrative Agent, and Wachovia Bank, National Association as Syndication Agent
(the “Credit Agreement Repayment”) and pay fees, expenses and commissions related thereto
and (ii) to repay certain indebtedness outstanding under those certain senior unsecured
subordinated notes due 2009 issued pursuant to that certain note purchase agreement (the “Note
Purchase Agreement”), dated as of January 14, 2005 among the Company, the purchasers party
thereto and MCG Capital Corporation, as Administrative Agent and as amended on June 29, 2005 and
July 20, 2006 (the “Note Repayment” and, together with the Credit Agreement Repayment, the
“Repayments”). The Company also intends, on the Closing Date, to convert the remainder of
its senior unsecured subordinated notes due 2009 and 2007 into shares of the Company’s preferred
stock that is not Disqualified Capital Stock (as defined in the Offering Circular) (the
“Conversion” and, together with the Acquisition (defined below), the Repayments and the
offer and sale of the Notes, the “Transactions”).

     The Company has also agreed pursuant to that certain stock purchase agreement, dated as of June 26,
2006 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), among the Company, ATX Communications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“ATX”), the shareholders of ATX Communications, Inc. and, for the limited
purposes set forth therein, Leucadia National Corporation, to acquire (the “Acquisition”)
100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of ATX.

Purchase Agreement

     Pursuant to the escrow agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Escrow
Agreement’’), among the Company, the Trustee and The Bank of New York, as escrow agent (the
“Escrow Agent”), the Company will deposit into an escrow account (the “Escrow
Account”) a portion of the proceeds from the offering in an amount equal to the sum of (x)
$95.0 million and (y) the amount of interest that would accrue on the Notes in an aggregate
principal amount of $95.0 million for the period from the Closing Date to December 20, 2006 (the
amount of such sum, the “Initial Escrowed Funds Amount”). Pursuant to the terms of the
Escrow Agreement, the funds held in the Escrow Account will be released to the Company upon
delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate certifying, among other things, that certain
conditions, as more fully described therein, have been satisfied. Otherwise, if such certificate is
not delivered by December 20, 2006 or the Company notifies the Trustee that the Acquisition is
being terminated, the funds will be released to the Trustee to effectuate a redemption of the Notes
in an aggregate principal amount of $95.0 million at par plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon
to the redemption date.

     Holders of the Notes (including Subsequent Purchasers) will have the registration rights set forth
in the registration rights agreement applicable to the Notes (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”), to be executed on and dated as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Company and the Company will agree, among other
things, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (i) a registration
statement under the Act (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) relating to 11 3/8%
senior secured notes due 2012 (the “Exchange Notes”) which shall be identical to the Notes
(except that the Exchange Notes shall have been registered pursuant to such registration statement
and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or contain additional interest provisions) to
be offered in exchange for the Notes (such offer to exchange being referred to as the “Exchange
Offer”), and/or (ii) under certain circumstances, a shelf registration statement pursuant to
Rule 415 under the Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the resale by
certain holders of the Notes. If required under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will
issue Exchange Notes and cause the Guarantors to issue exchange guarantees to the Initial Purchaser
(the “Private Exchange Notes” and “Private Exchange Guarantees”, respectively). If
the Company fails to satisfy its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, it will be
required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Notes under certain circumstances in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

     This Agreement, the Indenture, the Collateral Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Notes, the Guarantees, the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes, if any, the Private Exchange
Guarantees, if any and the Escrow Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the
“Documents.”

     3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery. On the basis of the representations, warranties, agreements
and covenants herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Company agrees to issue and sell to the Initial Purchaser, and the Initial Purchaser agrees to
purchase from the Company, the entire aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a purchase price
of 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof less the fee set forth in Section 4 of the letter
agreement between the Company and the Initial Purchaser dated June 16, 2006 (the “Engagement
Letter”) (the “Net Consideration”). Delivery to the Initial Purchaser of, and payment
for, the Notes shall be made at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 10:00 a.m., New
York time, on August 23, 2006 (the “Closing Date”) at the New York offices of Mayer, Brown,
Rowe & Maw LLP. Payment for the Notes shall be made by the Initial Purchaser as follows: (i) a
portion of the Net Consideration in an amount equal to the Initial Escrowed Funds Amount shall be
provided by the Initial Purchaser, on behalf of the Company, to the Escrow Agent to be held in the
Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (which the Company hereby
authorizes the Initial Purchaser to provide to the Escrow Agent on its behalf) and (ii) the
remainder of the Net Consideration shall be paid to the Company at its direction.

 Purchase Agreement

     The Company shall deliver to the Initial Purchaser one or more certificates representing the Notes
in definitive form, registered in such names and denominations as the initial Purchaser may
request, against payment by the Initial Purchaser of the purchase price therefor by immediately
available Federal funds bank wire transfer to such bank account or accounts as the Company shall
designate to the Initial Purchaser at least two business days prior to the Closing. The
certificates representing the Notes in definitive form shall be made available to the Initial
Purchaser for inspection at the New York offices of Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP (or such other
place as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchaser) not later than 10:00 a.m. one
business day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Notes to be represented by one or more
definitive global securities in book-entry form will be deposited on the Closing Date, by or on

custodian, and registered in the name of Cede & Co.

     4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company and the Guarantors, jointly
and severally, represent and warrant to the Initial Purchaser that, as of the date hereof and as of
the Closing Date:

     (a) As of the Applicable Time (as defined below), neither (x) the Preliminary Offering Circular, as
supplemented by the final pricing term sheet in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Pricing Supplement”), all considered together (collectively, the “Time of Sale
Circular”), nor (y) any individual Supplemental Offering Materials (as defined below), when
considered together with the Time of Sale Circular, contain any untrue statement of a material
fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. “Applicable Time”
means 3:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on August 15, 2006 or such other time as agreed by the Company and
the Initial Purchaser.

“Supplemental Offering Materials” means any “written communication” (within the meaning of
Rule 405 of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) prepared by or on behalf of the
Company, or used or referred to by the Company, that constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation
of an offer to buy the Notes other than the Offering Circular or amendments or supplements thereto
(including the Pricing Supplement), including, without limitation, any road show relating to the
Notes that constitutes such a written communication.

     The Final Offering Circular does not and at the Closing Date will not, and each amendment or
supplement thereto as of its date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or
omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that
neither the Company nor the Guarantors make any representation or warranty as to the Initial
Purchasers Information (as defined in Section 11). No injunction or order has been issued
that either (i) asserts that any of the transactions contemplated by the Documents is subject to
the registration requirements of the Act or (ii) would prevent or suspend the issuance or sale of
the Notes or the use of the Time of Sale Circular, the Final Offering Circular or any amendment or
supplement thereto (including the Pricing Supplement), in any jurisdiction. Each of the Time of
Sale Circular and the Final Offering Circular, as of their respective dates, contained, and the
Final Offering Circular, as amended or supplemented, as of the Closing Date, will contain, all the
information specified in, and meet the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act. There are no
related party transactions that would be required to be disclosed in the Final Offering Circular if
the Final Offering Circular were a prospectus included in a registration statement on Form S-1
filed under the Act that are not disclosed in the Final Offering Circular.

     (b) Each corporation, partnership or other entity in which the Company directly or indirectly
through any of its Subsidiaries, owns more than fifty percent (50%) of any class of Capital Stock
(as defined in the Offering Circular) is listed on Schedule I attached hereto (the
“Subsidiaries”), and such

 Purchase Agreement

Capital Stock is free and clear of all Liens (as hereinafter defined) other than Permitted Liens
and liens under the Existing Credit Agreement. The Subsidiaries that are Immaterial Subsidiaries of
the Company are denoted with an asterisk (“*”) on Schedule I (the “Company Immaterial
Subsidiaries”). Following the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company will own, directly
or indirectly through any of its Subsidiaries, more than 50% of any class of Capital Stock of the
entities listed on Schedule II hereto (the “ATX Entities”) and such Capital Stock
will be free and clear of all Liens (as hereinafter defined) other than Permitted Liens. The ATX
Entities that will, after the consummation of the Acquisition, be Immaterial Subsidiaries of the
Company are denoted with an asterisk (“*”) on Schedule II (the “ATX Immaterial
Subsidiaries”, and, together with the Company Immaterial Subsidiaries, the “Specified
Immaterial Subsidiaries”).

     (c) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has been duly organized or formed, as the case may
be, is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization,
(ii) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business and to own, lease and operate
its properties and assets, and (iii) is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or other entity, as the case may be, authorized to
do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of such businesses or the ownership or leasing
of such properties requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. A “Material Adverse
Effect” means a material adverse effect on (A) the properties, business, operations, earnings,
assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, or with respect to the ATX Entities, such ATX Entities taken as a whole with the
Company and the Subsidiaries, (B) the ability of the Company or the Guarantors to perform their
respective obligations in all material respects under any Document, (C) the enforceability of any
Collateral Agreement or the attachment, perfection or priority of any of the Liens intended to be
created thereby or (D) the validity of any of the Documents or the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated therein.

     (d) All of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company have been duly
authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and were not issued in violation
of any preemptive or similar rights. The table under the caption “Capitalization” in the Time of
Sale Circular and in the Final Offering Circular (including the footnotes thereto) sets forth, as
of the date of such table after giving effect to the Transactions, (i) the actual cash and cash
equivalents and capitalization of Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and (ii) the
pro forma cash and cash equivalents and capitalization of the Company, its Subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, and the ATX Entities, on a consolidated basis, after giving effect to the offer
and sale of the Notes and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Time of
Sale Circular and in the Final Offering Circular under the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.”
After giving effect to the offer and sale of the Notes and the Repayments with the proceeds from
the sale of the Notes, all of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock or other equity interests of
each of the Company’s Subsidiaries and upon consummation of the Acquisition, each of the ATX
Entities (other than as required by applicable law or issuances of directors’ qualifying shares)
will be owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, free and clear of all liens, security
interests, mortgages, pledges, charges, equities, claims or restrictions on transferability or
encumbrances of any kind (collectively, “Liens”), other than those imposed under the
Existing Credit Agreement and the Documents or by the Act and the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of
certain domestic or foreign jurisdictions, requirements for regulatory approvals and Liens
constituting Permitted Liens. Except as set forth in the Time of Sale Circular or the Final
Offering Circular, there are no outstanding (A) options, warrants or other rights for third parties
to purchase securities from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) agreements, contracts,
arrangements or other obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue to third
parties or (C) other rights of third parties to convert any obligation into or exchange any
securities for, in the case of each of clauses (A) through (C), shares of Capital
Stock of or

extent necessary to consummate the Conversion or the Acquisition.

     (e) No holder of securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be entitled to have such
securities registered under the registration statements required to be filed by the Company and the
Guarantors with respect to the Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement.

     (f) The Company and each of the Initial Guarantors have, and upon consummation of the Acquisition,
each of the ATX Entities that are not ATX Immaterial Subsidiaries (collectively, the “ATX
Guarantors”) will have, all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform their respective obligations under the Documents to which they are or will become a party
and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

     (g) Each of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (other than the Escrow
Agreement) have been duly and validly authorized by the Company and the Initial Guarantors, and,
upon consummation of the Acquisition, will have been duly and validly authorized by each of the ATX
Guarantors. Each of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements, when executed and delivered by the
Company and the Guarantors, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the
Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against each of the Company and the Guarantors in
accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws
now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of
equity (whether applied by court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be brought.

     (h) The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Company and the
Initial Guarantors and, upon consummation of the Acquisition, will have been duly and validly
authorized by the ATX Guarantors. The Registration Rights Agreement, when executed and delivered by
the Company and the Guarantors, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of
the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors in accordance
with its terms, except that (A) the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws
now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of
equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which
any proceeding therefor may be brought and (B) any rights to indemnity or contribution thereunder
may be limited by federal and state securities laws and public policy considerations.

     (i) The Escrow Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Company. The Escrow Agreement,
when executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that the
enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of
law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

     (j) The Notes, when issued, will be in the form contemplated by the Indenture. The Indenture meets
the requirements for qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the
“TIA”). The Notes, Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes have each been duly and
validly authorized by the Company and, in the case of the Notes, when delivered to and paid for by
the Initial Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture, will have
been duly

executed, issued and delivered and will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
entitled to the benefit of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the Collateral Agreements and the
Registration Rights Agreement, and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (whether applied by a
court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be
brought. Upon and following delivery to the Initial Purchaser, the Notes will rank pari passu with
all senior Indebtedness of the Company that is outstanding on the date thereof (including
Indebtedness incurred under the New Credit Agreement) or that may be incurred thereafter and senior
to all subordinated Indebtedness of the Company that is outstanding on the date thereof or that may
be incurred thereafter.

     (k) The Guarantees and Private Exchange Guarantees have been duly and validly authorized by the
Initial Guarantors and, upon consummation of the Acquisition, will have been duly and validly
authorized by the ATX Guarantors and, in the case of the Guarantees, when executed by the
Guarantors, will have been duly executed, issued and delivered and will be legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Guarantors, entitled to the benefit of the Indenture and the Registration Rights
Agreement, and enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their terms, except that the
enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of
law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.
Upon and following delivery to the Initial Purchaser, the Guarantees will rank pari passu with all
senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors (including guarantees in respect of Indebtedness incurred
under the New Credit Agreement, or, in the case of certain of the Guarantors, Indebtedness incurred
by such Guarantor under the New Credit Agreement) that is outstanding on the date thereof or that
may be incurred thereafter and senior to all subordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantors that is
outstanding on the date thereof or that may be incurred thereafter.

     (l) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are in violation of its certificate of
incorporation, by-laws or any other of its organizational documents (collectively with respect to
such entity, its “Charter Documents”). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are,
except as described in the Time of Sale Circular or the Final Offering Circular (i) in violation of

or other evidence of indebtedness, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or any other material
agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them or their respective
property is bound (collectively, “Applicable Agreements”), except, in the case of clauses
(i) and (ii) for any such violation, breach, or default as would not reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. All material Applicable
Agreements are in full force and effect and are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company
or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, or, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties thereto.
There exists no condition that, with the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute (a)(i) a
violation of such Charter Documents or (ii) Applicable Law, (b) a breach of or default under any
Applicable Agreement or (c) result in the imposition of any penalty or the acceleration of any
indebtedness other than in the case of clauses (a)(ii), (b) and (c) as
would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, not to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (m) Neither the execution, delivery or performance of the Documents nor the consummation of any

Financing Approvals from jurisdictions from which the Company derived in the aggregate less than 8%
of its total revenues during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006), (iv) as such as may be

the Notes by the Initial Purchaser and (v) any approvals necessary to foreclose on any Liens.

     (n) Neither the execution, delivery or performance of the Documents nor the consummation of any
transactions contemplated therein will result in the imposition of a Lien on any assets of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (except for Permitted Liens), or conflict with, violate,
constitute a breach of or a default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under, result in an
acceleration of indebtedness under or pursuant to (1) the Charter Documents, (2) any material
Applicable Agreement or (3) any Applicable Law, except in case of clauses (2) and (3) as would not

the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened that (i) asserts that the offer, sale and
delivery of the Notes to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or the initial resale of
the Notes by the Initial Purchaser in the manner contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the
registration requirements of the Act, or (ii) would prevent or suspend the issuance or sale of the
Notes, including the Exempt Resales, or the use of the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Time of

filings with, all Governmental Authorities, presently required or necessary to own or lease, as the
case may be, and to operate their respective properties and to carry on their respective businesses
as now or proposed to be conducted as set forth in the Final Offering Circular (“Permits”),
except where the failure to obtain such Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect and each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed
all of its obligations with respect to such Permits and no event has occurred which allows, or
after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any
other material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit; and neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or
modification of any such Permit, except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Circular or the Final

otherwise material to, the conduct of the businesses of each of them as currently conducted and as
proposed to be conducted (as described in the Final Offering Circular and the Time of Sale
Circular), and such assets are in good working condition, except where the failure of such assets
to be in working condition would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (s) All Tax returns required to be filed by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have been
filed, except where the failure to file any such Tax returns would not be reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect or where valid extensions have
been granted, and all such returns that have been filed are true, complete, and correct in all
material respects. Except as disclosed in the Offering Circular, all material Taxes that are due
from the Company and its Subsidiaries have been paid other than those (i) currently payable without
penalty or interest or (ii) being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for
which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles of the United States, consistently applied (“GAAP”). Except as disclosed in the
Offering Circular, there are no actual or proposed Tax assessments the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The
accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of
any material Tax liability for any taxable period not finally determined are adequate to meet any
assessments of Tax for any such period. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Tax” and ‘Taxes”

(whether imposed directly or through withholding), including, without limitation, any interest,

information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names (collectively,
“Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of its businesses and, as of the Closing
Date, will be free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens and liens under the Existing
Credit Agreement. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any written claims
or notices of any potential claim asserted by any person challenging the use of any such
Intellectual Property by any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or questioning the validity
or effectiveness of the Intellectual Property or any license or agreement related thereto and
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary have any knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would
reasonably be expected to result in any such claim or potential claim. There is no valid basis for
any such claim, other than any claims that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries will not infringe on the Intellectual Property rights of any other person in any
manner that would, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

     (u) The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) material transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization, (ii) material transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access
to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and
(iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any material differences.

its consolidated Subsidiaries, as applicable, and as of the respective dates and for the respective

adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions reflect the proper application of those
adjustments to the historical financial statement amounts in the pro forma financial data included
in the Time of Sale Circular and the Final Offering Circular. The pro forma financial data set
forth under “Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data,” “Selected Consolidated Financial Data”
and “Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data” in the Time of Sale Circular and the Final
Offering Circular comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
requirements of Regulation S-X under the Act (except with respect to pro forma financial data for

assigned to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to any securities of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, or (ii) has indicated to the Company that it is considering (A) the downgrading,

     (a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold
harmless the Initial Purchaser, and each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of any kind to which, jointly or severally, the Initial Purchaser or such
controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as any
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon:

     (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the Time of Sale Circular, any Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto or any
Supplemental Offering Materials; or

     (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state, in the Time of Sale Circular, any
Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Supplemental Offering
Materials, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

including any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s
failure to perform its obligations under Sections 5(b) and 5(c), and, subject to
the provisions hereof, will reimburse, as incurred, the Initial Purchaser and each such controlling
person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser or such
controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a
third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect
thereof; provided, however, neither the Company nor the Guarantors will be liable
in any such case to the extent (but only to the extent) that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
unappealable judgment, to have resulted solely from any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in any the Time of Sale Circular, any Offering
Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Supplemental Offering Materials in reliance
upon and in conformity with the Initial

Purchase Agreement

23

 

Purchaser Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the
Company may otherwise have to the indemnified parties.

     (b) The Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company, the
Guarantors, and their respective directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities of any kind to which the Company or any such
director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, unappealable
judgment, to have resulted solely from (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Time of Sale Circular, any Offering Circular or any amendment or
supplement thereto or any Supplemental Offering Materials or (ii) the omission or the alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Timing of Sale Circular, any
Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Supplemental Offering Materials or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent (but only to
the extent) that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information; and, subject to
the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any legal
or other expenses incurred by the Company or the Guarantors or any of their respective directors,
officers or controlling persons in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the
Initial Purchaser may otherwise have to such indemnified parties.

     (c) As promptly as reasonably practical after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is
entitled to indemnification under this Section 8, such indemnified party will, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8,
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify
the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under
paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and only to the extent it is materially
prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from
any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in
paragraphs (a) and (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
determine, jointly, with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided,
however, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the
indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the defendants in
any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified
party shall have been advised by counsel in writing that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within
a reasonable time after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such
action, then, in each such case, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the
defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or
parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties at the expense of the indemnifying party. After notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and
approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying
party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or
other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall
have

Purchase Agreement

24

 

employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it
being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be
liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one
action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the
same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the Initial Purchaser in the case of
paragraph (a) of this Section 8 or the Company or the Guarantors in the case of
paragraph (b) of this Section 8, representing the indemnified parties under such
paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action
or actions) or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for
the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the
costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the prior
written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
unless such indemnified party waived in writing its rights under this Section 8, in which
case the indemnified party may effect such a settlement without such consent.

     (d) No indemnifying party shall be liable under this Section 8 for any settlement of any
claim or action (or threatened claim or action) effected without its written consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, but if a claim or action is settled with its written consent, or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff with respect to any such claim or action, each
indemnifying party, jointly and severally, agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set
forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified party from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and legal and other expenses as set forth above) incurred
by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any
settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the
indemnified party is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
the indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional written release of the
indemnified party, in form and substance satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as
to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

     (e) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of
this Section 8 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each
indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contributions, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses; claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the
relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the
indemnified party, on the other, from the Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by the
foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits
but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the
indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof). The relative benefits received by the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand,
and the Initial Purchaser, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total
proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total
discounts, commissions and fees received by the Initial Purchaser. The relative fault of the
parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Initial
Purchaser, on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omissions, and
any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.

Purchase Agreement

25

 

     (f) The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be equitable if
the amount of such contribution determined pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph
(e) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation
that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of
the immediately preceding paragraph (e). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 8, the Initial Purchaser shall not be obligated to make contributions hereunder

reasonable judgment, be expected to (i) make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the
offering or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Final Offering
Circular, or (ii) materially impair the investment quality of any of the Notes;

     (b) the failure of the Company to satisfy the conditions contained in Section 7 hereof on

crisis, including acts of terrorism, or material adverse change or disruption in economic
conditions in, or in the financial markets of, the United States (it being understood that any such
change or disruption shall be relative to such conditions and markets as in effect on the date
hereof), if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, calamity, crisis, act or material adverse
change in the economic conditions in, or in the financial markets of, the United States could be
reasonably expected to make it, in the Initial Purchaser’s sole judgment, impracticable or
inadvisable to market or proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Final Offering Circular or to enforce contracts for the sale of any of
the Notes;

     (d) the suspension or limitation of trading generally in securities on the New York Stock Exchange,

Guarantees, and the Private Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Guarantees, if any, the execution,
delivery and performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the Purchase Agreement, the

Registration Rights Agreement (in each case assuming such agreement is duly authorized and
executed), and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby and the
compliance by the Company with the terms of the foregoing do not conflict with or constitute or
result in a breach or violation by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended (the “Communications Act”), the rules and regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission promulgated thereunder, or the rules of any state or any state
telecommunications regulatory authority to whose jurisdiction the operations of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries are subject (together with the Communications Act, the “Communications
Laws”) or any order, decree or judgment known to me to be applicable to the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, of any federal or state court or federal or state governmental or federal or
state regulatory agency or body dealing with telecommunications carriers (the “Communications
Authorities”) known to me to have jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their respective properties or assets; except for any approvals that may be required in
connection with the foreclosure of any Liens.

     2. No consent, waiver, approval, authorization, license, qualification or order of or filing or
registration with any Communications Authority is required for execution and delivery by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for the issue and sale of the Notes, the Exchange Notes, the
Exchange Guarantees, and the Private Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Guarantees, if any, or the

consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than (i) those already
obtained, (ii) Financing Approvals from jurisdictions from which the Company derived in the
aggregate less than 8% of the total revenues during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 or
(iii) that may be required in connection with the foreclosure of any Liens.

     3. The Company and its Subsidiaries are the holders of all consents, approvals, orders,
certificates, licenses, permits, franchises and other authorizations (the “Licenses”)
listed on Annex I attached hereto (the “Regulatory Licenses”) issued by the
Communications Authorities, all of with are validly issued and in full force and effect, with no
material restrictions or qualifications other than as described in the Time of Sale Circular or the
Offering Circular and as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, and such Regulatory Licenses constitute the only material Licenses necessary for the Company and
its Subsidiaries to conduct their businesses in the manner and to the extent now operated or

     4. To my knowledge, other than matters described in the Time of Sale Circular or the Offering
Circular, there are no Proceedings threatened or pending before any Communications Authority

113/8
% Senior Secured Notes due 2012

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

May 8, 2007

JEFFERIES & COMPANY, INC.

520 Madison Avenue, 12th Floor

New York, New York 10022

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Broadview Networks Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the
guarantors signatory hereto (the “Initial Guarantors” and, together with the InfoHighway
Guarantors (as defined below) upon their becoming parties hereto pursuant to Section 5(p),
the “Guarantors”), jointly and severally, hereby agree (this “Agreement”) with you
as follows:

     1. Issuance of Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the
Company proposes to issue and sell to Jefferies & Company, Inc. (the “Initial Purchaser”)
$90,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 113/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (each a
“Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an
indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of August 23, 2006 (as supplemented on September 29,
2006), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the
“Trustee”) and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”). Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the “Description of the Notes—Certain
Definitions” section of the Offering Circular.

     The Notes will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Upon
original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the
applicable requirements of the Act, the Notes shall bear the legends set forth in the final
offering circular related to the issuance of the Notes, dated the date hereof (the “Final
Offering Circular”). The Company has prepared a preliminary offering circular, dated May 7,
2007 (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”), and the Final Offering Circular relating to the
offer and sale of the Notes (the “Offering”). “Offering Circular” means, as of any
date or time referred to in this Agreement, the most recent offering circular (whether the
Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, and any amendment or supplement to
either such document), including, without limitation, exhibits and schedules thereto.

     2. Terms of Offering. The Initial Purchaser has advised the Company, and the Company
understands, that the Initial Purchaser will make offers to sell (the “Exempt Resales”)

 

 

some or all of the Notes purchased by the Initial Purchaser hereunder on the terms set forth in
the Final Offering Circular, as amended or supplemented, to persons (the “Subsequent
Purchasers”) (i) outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S of the Act, or (ii)
whom the Initial Purchaser (A) reasonably believes to be “qualified institutional buyers” as
defined in Rule 144A under the Act (“QIBs”), as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (B)
reasonably believes (based upon written representations made by such persons to the Initial
Purchaser) to be institutional “accredited investors” (“Accredited Investors”) as defined
in Rule 501(a)(l), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act.

     Pursuant to the Indenture, all Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company (other than
Immaterial Subsidiaries) as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) and all future Domestic
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company (other than future Immaterial Subsidiaries), jointly and
severally, shall fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior secured basis, to each holder of
the Notes and the Trustee, the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under the
Indenture and the Notes (each such guarantee being referred to herein as a “Guarantee”).

     Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (as defined in the
Indenture), all of the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes
will be secured by a lien and security interest on substantially all of the Company’s and its
subsidiaries’ assets, subject to certain exceptions; provided, however, that
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the security interest in those assets
consisting of receivables, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts and certain other
assets that secure the Notes and Guarantees (other than the Escrow Account (as defined below) and
funds and investment property on deposit therein or credited thereto and certain other excluded
assets) will be contractually subordinated to the lien of the Administrative Agent (as defined
below) that secures the obligations (i) under the Company’s $25.0 million credit agreement, dated
as of August 23, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the guarantors party
thereto, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto and The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., as
administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and (ii) certain other permitted
Indebtedness, in each case, to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

     Pursuant to that certain agreement and plan of merger, dated as of February 23, 2007 (the
“Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Eureka Acquisition Corporation, our wholly-owned
Delaware subsidiary (“Eureka Acquisition”), Eureka Broadband Corporation, d/b/a
InfoHighway Communications, a Delaware corporation (“InfoHighway”), certain significant
shareholders of InfoHighway and the agent for the shareholders of InfoHighway, Eureka Acquisition
will be merged with and into InfoHighway, with InfoHighway continuing as the surviving corporation
and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger” and, together with the offer and
sale of the Notes, the “Transactions”).

     Pursuant to the escrow agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Escrow
Agreement”), among the Company, the Trustee and The Bank of New York, as escrow agent (the
“Escrow Agent”), the gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with available
cash, will be deposited into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) in an amount equal
to the sum of (x) $90.0 million multiplied by the issue price of the Notes and (y) the amount of
interest

2

 

that would accrue on the Notes for the period from March 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007 (the
“Required Escrow Deposit”).

     Holders of the Notes (including Subsequent Purchasers) will have the registration rights set
forth in the registration rights agreement applicable to the Notes (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”), to be executed on and dated as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Initial Purchaser and the Company will agree,
among other things, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (i) a
registration statement under the Act (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) relating
to 113/8% senior secured notes due 2012 (the “Exchange Notes”) which shall be identical to
the Notes (except that the Exchange Notes shall have been registered pursuant to such registration
statement and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or contain additional interest
provisions) to be offered in exchange for the Notes (such offer to exchange being referred to as
the “Exchange Offer”), and/or (ii) under certain circumstances, a shelf registration
statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) relating
to the resale by certain holders of the Notes. If required under the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Company will issue Exchange Notes and cause the Guarantors to issue exchange guarantees to the
Initial Purchaser (the “Private Exchange Notes” and “Private Exchange Guarantees”,
respectively). If the Company fails to satisfy its obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, it will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Notes under certain
circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

     This Agreement, the Indenture, the Collateral Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Notes, the Guarantees, the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes, if any, the Private
Exchange Guarantees, if any, and the Escrow Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the
“Documents.”

     3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery. On the basis of the representations, warranties,
agreements and covenants herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Initial Purchaser, and the Initial Purchaser
agrees to purchase from the Company, the entire aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a
purchase price of 105.750% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest from
and including March 1, 2007 to but excluding the Closing Date. Delivery to the Initial Purchaser
of, and payment for, the Notes shall be made at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at
10:00 a.m., New York time, on May 14, 2007 (the “Closing Date”) at the New York offices of
White & Case LLP.

          On the Closing Date, (1) the Initial Purchaser shall deposit the gross proceeds from the
sale of the Notes into the Escrow Account, (2) the Company shall pay to the Initial Purchaser the
fees set forth in Section 4 of the letter agreement between the Company and the Initial Purchaser
dated February 23, 2007 and (3) the Company shall deliver to the Initial Purchaser one or more
certificates representing the Notes in definitive form, registered in such names and denominations
as the Initial Purchaser may request. The certificates representing the Notes in definitive form
shall be made available to the Initial Purchaser for inspection at the New York offices of White &
Case LLP (or such other place as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchaser) not
later than 10:00 a.m. one business day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Notes to be
represented by one or more definitive global securities in book-entry form will

3

 

be deposited on the Closing Date, by or on behalf of the Company, with The Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) or its designated custodian, and registered in the name of Cede & Co.

     4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company and the Guarantors,
jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Initial Purchaser that, as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date:

     (a) As of the Applicable Time (as defined below), neither (x) the Preliminary Offering
Circular, as supplemented by the final pricing term sheet in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Pricing Supplement”), all considered together (collectively, the
“Time of Sale Circular”), nor (y) any individual Supplemental Offering Materials (as
defined below), when considered together with the Time of Sale Circular, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
“Applicable Time” means 4:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on May 8, 2007 or such other time as
agreed by the Company and the Initial Purchaser.

“Supplemental Offering Materials” means any “written communication” (within the meaning of
Rule 405 of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) prepared by or on behalf of the
Company, or used or referred to by the Company, that constitutes an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes other than the Offering Circular or amendments or
supplements thereto (including the Pricing Supplement), including, without limitation, any road
show relating to the Notes that constitutes such a written communication.

The Final Offering Circular does not, and at the Closing Date will not, and each amendment or
supplement thereto as of its date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or
omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that
neither the Company nor the Guarantors make any representation or warranty as to the Initial
Purchaser Information (as defined in Section 11). No injunction or order has been issued
that either (i) asserts that any of the transactions contemplated by the Documents is subject to
the registration requirements of the Act or (ii) would prevent or suspend the issuance or sale of
the Notes or the use of the Time of Sale Circular, the Final Offering Circular or any amendment or
supplement thereto (including the Pricing Supplement), in any jurisdiction. Each of the Time of
Sale Circular and the Final Offering Circular, as of their respective dates, contained, and the
Final Offering Circular, as amended or supplemented, as of the Closing Date, will contain, all the
information specified in, and meet the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act. There are no
related party transactions that would be required to be disclosed in the Final Offering Circular if
the Final Offering Circular were a prospectus included in a registration statement on Form S-l
filed under the Act that are not disclosed in the Final Offering Circular.

     (b) Each corporation, partnership or other entity in which the Company directly or indirectly
through any of its Subsidiaries, owns more than fifty percent (50%) of any class of Capital Stock
(as defined in the Offering Circular) is listed on Schedule I attached hereto (the
“Subsidiaries”), and such Capital Stock is free and clear of all Liens (as hereinafter
defined) other than Permitted Liens and liens under the Credit Agreement. Following the
consummation of the Merger, the Company will own, directly or indirectly through any of its
Subsidiaries, more

4

 

than 50% of any class of Capital Stock of the entities listed on Schedule II hereto (the
“InfoHighway Entities”) and such Capital Stock will be free and clear of all Liens (as
hereinafter defined) other than Permitted Liens.

     (c) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has been duly organized or formed, as the
case may be, is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business and to own, lease
and operate its properties and assets, and (iii) is duly qualified or licensed to do business and
is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or other entity, as the case may be,
authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of such businesses or the
ownership or leasing of such properties requires such qualification, except where the failure to be
so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. A
“Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on (A) the properties, business,
operations, earnings, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or with respect to the InfoHighway Entities, such InfoHighway
Entities taken as a whole with the Company and the Subsidiaries, (B) the ability of the Company or
the Guarantors to perform their respective obligations in all material respects under any Document,
(C) the enforceability of any Collateral Agreement or the attachment, perfection or priority of any
of the Liens intended to be created thereby or (D) the validity of any of the Documents or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated therein.

     (d) All of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company have been duly
authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and were not issued in violation
of any preemptive or similar rights. The table under the caption “Capitalization “ in the Time of
Sale Circular and in the Final Offering Circular (including the footnotes thereto) sets forth, as
of the date of such table after giving effect to the Transactions, (i) the actual cash and cash
equivalents and capitalization of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and (ii)
the pro forma cash and cash equivalents and capitalization of the Company, its Subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, and the InfoHighway Entities, on a consolidated basis, after giving effect to
the offer and sale of the Notes and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in
the Time of Sale Circular and in the Final Offering Circular under the section entitled “Use of
Proceeds.” After giving effect to the offer and sale of the Notes, all of the outstanding shares of
Capital Stock or other equity interests of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries, and upon
consummation of the Merger, each of the InfoHighway Entities (other than as required by applicable
law or issuances of directors’ qualifying shares) will be owned, directly or indirectly, by the
Company, free and clear of all liens, security interests, mortgages, pledges, charges, equities,
claims or restrictions on transferability or encumbrances of any kind (collectively,
“Liens”), other than those imposed under the Credit Agreement and the Documents or by the
Act and the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of certain domestic or foreign jurisdictions,
requirements for regulatory approvals and Liens constituting Permitted Liens. Except as set forth
in the Time of Sale Circular or the Final Offering Circular, there are no outstanding (A) options,
warrants or other rights for third parties to purchase securities from the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, (B) agreements, contracts, arrangements or other obligations of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to issue to third parties or (C) other rights of third parties to convert any
obligation into or exchange any securities for, in the case of each of clauses (A) through
(C), shares of Capital Stock of or other ownership or equity interests in the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries other than to the extent necessary to consummate the Merger.

5

 

     (e) No holder of securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be entitled to have
such securities registered under the registration statements required to be filed by the Company
and the Guarantors with respect to the Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, other than the notes previously issued under the Indenture.

     (f) The Company and each of the Initial Guarantors have, and upon consummation of the Merger,
each of the InfoHighway Entities (collectively, the “InfoHighway Guarantors”) will have,
all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective
obligations under the Documents to which they are or will become a party and to consummate the
transactions contemplated thereby.

     (g) Each of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (other than the Escrow
Agreement) have been duly and validly authorized by the Company and the Initial Guarantors, and,
upon consummation of the Merger, will have been duly and validly authorized by each of the
InfoHighway Guarantors. Each of the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements (other than the Escrow
Agreement), when executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantors, will constitute a legal,
valid and binding obligation of each of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against each of
the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof
may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally
and (ii) general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

     (h) The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Company and
the Initial Guarantors and, upon consummation of the Merger, will have been duly and validly
authorized by the InfoHighway Guarantors. The Registration Rights Agreement, when executed and
delivered by the Company and the Guarantors, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation
of each of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors in
accordance with its terms, except that (A) the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other
similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general
principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court
before which any proceeding therefor may be brought and (B) any rights to indemnity or
contribution thereunder may be limited by federal and state securities laws and public policy
considerations.

     (i) The Escrow Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Company. The Escrow
Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except
that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (whether applied by
a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may
be brought.

6

 

     (j) The Notes, when issued, will be in the form contemplated by the Indenture. The
Indenture meets the requirements for qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (the “TIA”). The Notes, Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes have each been
duly and validly authorized by the Company and, in the case of the Notes, when delivered to and
paid for by the Initial Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
Indenture, will have been duly executed, issued and delivered and will be legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefit of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the
Collateral Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement, and enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other
similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general
principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court
before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. Upon and following delivery to the Initial
Purchaser, the Notes will rank pari passu with all senior Indebtedness of the Company that is
outstanding on the date thereof (including Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement) or
that may be incurred thereafter and senior to all subordinated Indebtedness of the Company that is
outstanding on the date thereof or that may be incurred thereafter.

     (k) The Guarantees and Private Exchange Guarantees have been duly and validly authorized by
the Initial Guarantors and, upon consummation of the Merger, will have been duly and validly
authorized by the InfoHighway Guarantors and, in the case of the Guarantees, when executed by the
Guarantors, will have been duly executed, issued and delivered and will be legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Guarantors, entitled to the benefit of the Indenture and the
Registration Rights Agreement, and enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their
terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or
hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity
(whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be brought. Upon and following delivery to the Initial Purchaser, the
Guarantees will rank pari passu with all senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors (including
guarantees in respect of Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement) that is outstanding on
the date thereof or that may be incurred thereafter and senior to all subordinated Indebtedness of
the Guarantors that is outstanding on the date thereof or that may be incurred thereafter.

     (l) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are in violation of its certificate of
incorporation, by-laws or any other of its organizational documents (collectively with respect to
such entity, its “Charter Documents”). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are,
except as described in the Time of Sale Circular or the Final Offering Circular (i) in violation of
any Federal, state, local or foreign statute, law (including, without limitation, common law) or
ordinance, or any judgment, decree, rule, regulation or order (collectively, “Applicable
Law”) of any federal, state, local and other governmental authority, governmental or regulatory
agency or body, court, arbitrator or self-regulatory organization, domestic or foreign (each, a
“Governmental Authority”) or (ii) in breach of or default under any bond, debenture, note
or other evidence of indebtedness, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or any other material
agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them or their respective
property is bound (collectively, “Applicable Agreements”), except, in the case of
clauses (i) and (ii) for any such violation, breach, or default as would not
reasonably be expected,

7

 

individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. All material Applicable
Agreements are in full force and effect and are legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, or, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties
thereto. There exists no condition that, with the passage of time or otherwise, would (a)
constitute a violation of (i) such Charter Documents or (ii) Applicable Law, (b) constitute a
breach of or default under any Applicable Agreement or (c) result in the imposition of any penalty
or the acceleration of any indebtedness other than in the case of clauses (a)(ii),
(b) and (c) as would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, not
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (m) Neither the execution, delivery or performance of the Documents nor the consummation of
any transactions contemplated therein will require the consent, approval, authorization or order
of any governmental or regulatory authority (other than (i) consents already obtained and in full
force and effect, (ii) governmental and regulatory approvals required to consummate the Merger
(the “InfoHighway Approvals”), (iii) as such as may be required under state securities or
“Blue Sky” laws in connection with the purchase and resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchaser
and (iv) any approvals necessary to foreclose on any Liens.

     (n) Neither the execution, delivery or performance of the Documents nor the consummation of
any transactions contemplated therein will result in the imposition of a Lien on any assets of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (except for Permitted Liens), or conflict with, violate,
constitute a breach of or a default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under, result in an
acceleration of indebtedness under or pursuant to (1) the Charter Documents, (2) any material
Applicable Agreement or (3) any Applicable Law, except in case
of clauses (2) and (3) as
would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (o) When executed and delivered, the Documents will conform in all material respects to the
descriptions thereof in the Time of Sale Circular.

     (p) There is no action, claim, suit, demand, hearing, notice of violation or deficiency, or
proceeding, domestic or foreign (collectively, “Proceedings”), pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened, that either (i) seeks to restrain, enjoin,
prevent the consummation of, or otherwise challenge any of the Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated therein, or (ii) except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Circular and the Final
Offering Circular, would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except
as disclosed in the Time of Sale Circular and the Final Offering Circular, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries are subject to any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. No injunction or order has been issued and no Proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened that (i) asserts that the offer, sale and
delivery of the Notes to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or the initial resale of
the Notes by the Initial Purchaser in the manner contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the
registration requirements of the Act, or (ii) would prevent or suspend the issuance or sale of the
Notes, including the Exempt Resales, or the use of the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Time of
Sale Circular, the Final Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in any
jurisdiction.

     (q) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries possesses all licenses, permits, certificates,
consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations from, and has made all declarations and
filings with, all Governmental Authorities, presently required or necessary to own or lease, as
the case may be, and to operate their respective properties and to carry on their respective
businesses as now or proposed to be conducted as set forth in the Final Offering Circular
(“Permits”), except where the failure to obtain such Permits would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has
fulfilled and performed all of its obligations with respect to such Permits and no event has
occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination
thereof or results in any other material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such
Permit; and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any notice of any
proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any such Permit, except as disclosed in the
Time of Sale Circular or the Final Offering Circular or except where such revocation or
modification would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (r) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all real
property owned by it and good title to all personal property owned by it and good and indefeasible
title to all leasehold estates in real and personal property being leased by it and, as of the
Closing Date, will be free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). The assets of each
of the Company and its Subsidiaries include all of the assets and properties necessary or required
in, or otherwise material to, the conduct of the businesses of each of them as currently conducted
and as proposed to be conducted (as described in the Final Offering Circular and the Time of Sale
Circular), and such assets are in good working condition, except where the failure of such assets
to be in working condition would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (s) All Tax returns required to be filed by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have
been filed, except where the failure to file any such Tax returns would not be reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect or where valid
extensions have been granted, and all such returns that have been filed are true, complete, and
correct in all material respects. Except as disclosed in the Offering Circular, all material Taxes
that are due from the Company and its Subsidiaries have been paid other than those (i) currently
payable without penalty or interest or (ii) being contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles of the United States, consistently applied (“GAAP”). Except
as disclosed in the Offering Circular, there are no actual or proposed Tax assessments on the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. The accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Company and its
Subsidiaries in respect of any material Tax liability for any taxable period not finally
determined are adequate to meet any assessments of Tax for any such period. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Tax” and “Taxes” shall mean all Federal, state, local and
foreign taxes, and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through
withholding), including, without limitation, any interest, additions to tax, or penalties
applicable thereto.

     (t) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed under, and has the right to
use, all patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including, without
limitation, trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or

9

 

confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names
(collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of its businesses and, as
of the Closing Date, will be free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens and liens
under the Credit Agreement. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any
written claims or notices of any potential claim asserted by any person challenging the use of any
such Intellectual Property by any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or questioning the
validity or effectiveness of the Intellectual Property or any license or agreement related thereto
and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary have any knowledge of any facts or circumstances that
would reasonably be expected to result in any such claim or potential claim. There is no valid
basis for any such claim, other than any claims that would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries will not infringe on the Intellectual Property rights of any other person in any
manner that would, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

     (u) The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) material transactions are executed in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization, (ii) material transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, and to maintain asset accountability,
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets
at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any material differences.

     (v) The audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of the InfoHighway
Entities and the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries contained in the Time of Sale Circular
and the Final Offering Circular (the “Financial Statements”) present fairly in all
material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the InfoHighway
Entities and the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, as applicable, and as of the
respective dates and for the respective periods to which they apply and have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP. The historical financial data set forth under “Summary Consolidated
Financial and Other Data” and “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” included in the Time of Sale
Circular and the Final Offering Circular have been prepared on a basis consistent with that of the
Financial Statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries and present fairly in all
material respects the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of the respective dates and for the respective periods indicated.
Nothing has come to the attention of the Company or its Subsidiaries that has caused such Person
to believe that the statistical and market and industry-related data included in the Time of Sale
Circular and the Final Offering Circular are not based on or derived from sources that the Company
believes to be reliable and accurate.

     (w) The pro forma financial information and the related notes of the Company and its
Subsidiaries set forth in the Time of Sale Circular and the Final Offering Circular include
assumptions that were made in good faith and provide a reasonable basis for presenting the
significant effects directly attributable to the transactions and events described therein. The
related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and reflect the proper
application of those adjustments to the historical financial statement amounts in the pro forma

10

 

financial data included in the Time of Sale Circular and the Final Offering Circular. The pro
forma financial data set forth under “Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data,” “Selected
Consolidated Financial Data” and “Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data” in the Time of
Sale Circular and the Final Offering Circular comply as to form in all material respects with the
applicable accounting requirements of Regulation S-X under the Act and the pro forma adjustments
have been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of those statements.

     (x) Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Time of Sale
Circular and the Final Offering Circular, except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Circular or the
Final Offering Circular, (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have incurred any
liabilities, direct or contingent, that are material, individually or in the aggregate, to the
Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or have entered into any transactions not in the
ordinary course of business and (ii) there has not been any material decrease in the Capital Stock
or any material increase in long-term indebtedness or any material increase in short-term
indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or any payment of or declaration to pay any
dividends or any other distribution with respect to the Company. There has not been any material
adverse change in the properties, business, operations, earnings, assets, liabilities or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or to the InfoHighway
Entities taken as a whole with the Company and its Subsidiaries (each of clauses (i) and
(ii) in the immediately preceding sentence and the events in this sentence, a “Material
Adverse Change”), since December 31, 2006.

     (y) No “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as such term is defined for
purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act) (i) has imposed (or has informed the Company that it is
considering imposing) any condition (financial or otherwise) on the Company retaining any rating
assigned to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to any securities of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, or (ii) has indicated to the Company that it is considering (A) the downgrading,
suspension, or withdrawal of, or any review for a possible change that does not indicate the
direction of the possible change in, any rating so assigned, or (B) any change in the outlook for
any rating of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any securities of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.

     (z) All indebtedness represented by the Notes is being incurred for proper purposes and in
good faith. On the Closing Date, each of the Company and the Initial Guarantors and upon the
consummation of the Merger, each of the InfoHighway Guarantors (i) will be solvent, (ii) will have
sufficient capital with which to conduct the business it is presently conducting and presently
anticipates conducting and (iii) will be able to pay its debts as they mature.

stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale
or resale of any of the Notes, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid anyone any compensation for
soliciting purchases of, any of the Notes, or (iii) except as disclosed in the Time of Sale
Circular

11

 

or the Final Offering Circular, paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for
soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.

     (bb) Without limiting any provision herein, no registration under the Act and no
qualification of the Indenture under the TIA is required for the sale of the Notes to the Initial
Purchaser as contemplated hereby or for the Exempt Resales, assuming (i) that the purchasers in
the Exempt Resales are QIBs or Accredited Investors or non-U.S. persons and (ii) the accuracy of
the Initial Purchaser’s representations contained herein regarding the absence of general
solicitation in connection with the sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchaser and in the Exempt
Resales.

     (cc) The Notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act and no other
securities of the Company are of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Act) as

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or quoted in a U.S. automated
inter-dealer quotation system. No securities of the Company of the same class as the Notes have
been offered, issued or sold by the Company or any of its Affiliates within the six-month period
immediately prior to the date hereof.

     (dd) Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or, to the Company’s knowledge, other
persons acting on behalf of the Company have offered or sold the Notes by means of any general
solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Act or, with
respect to Notes sold outside the United States to non-U.S. persons (as defined in Rule 902 under
the Act), by means of any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Rule 902 under the Act,
and the Company, each Affiliate of the Company and each other person acting on behalf of the
Company have complied with and will implement the “offering restrictions” within the meaning of
such Rule 902; provided, that no representation is made in this subsection with respect to
the actions of the Initial Purchaser.

     (ee) Each of the Company, its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate thereof has fulfilled its
obligations, if any, under the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of the Employee Retirement

Subsidiaries and any ERISA Affiliate thereof sponsors or maintains, or with respect to which it
has (or within the last three years had) any obligation to make contributions, and each such plan
is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and
the Code (as defined below). None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate thereof
has incurred any material unpaid liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than

Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its
existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

otherwise permitted under this Section 6. Accordingly, neither it, its affiliates
nor any persons acting on its or their behalf, has engaged or will engage in any directed
selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Notes, and it and
they have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of
Regulation S. It agrees that at or prior to confirmation of sale of Notes to persons

     (iii) It will not offer, sell or deliver any of the Notes in any jurisdiction outside
the United States except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the
applicable laws thereof, and that it will take at its own expense whatever action is
required to permit its purchase and resale of the Notes in such jurisdictions; and

     (iv) It understands that no action has been taken to permit a public offering in any
jurisdiction outside the United States where action would be required for such purpose.

connection with the offer and sale of any of the Notes.

satisfied by such other parties, which the failure to so satisfy would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect).

foregoing ratings on credit watch with negative or developing implications or under review with an
uncertain direction) by any “nationally recognized statistical rating

20

 

organization” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, (ii) there
shall not have occurred any change, nor shall any notice have been given of any potential or
intended change, in the outlook for any rating of the Company or any securities of the Company by

the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any

23

 

losses, claims, damages or liabilities of any kind to which, jointly or severally, the Initial
Purchaser or such controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

     (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the Time of Sale Circular, any Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto or
any Supplemental Offering Materials; or

     (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state, in the Time of Sale Circular, any
Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Supplemental Offering
Materials, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading,

including any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s
failure to perform its obligations under Sections 5(b) and 5(c), and, subject to
the provisions hereof, will reimburse, as incurred, the Initial Purchaser and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser or
such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a
third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in
respect thereof; provided, however, neither the Company nor the Guarantors will be
liable in any such case to the extent (but only to the extent) that any such loss, claim, damage
or liability is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
unappealable judgment, to have resulted solely from any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Time of Sale Circular, any Offering Circular
or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Supplemental Offering Materials in reliance upon and
in conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition
to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have to the indemnified
parties.

     (b) The Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company, the
Guarantors, and their respective directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities of any kind to which the Company
or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
unappealable judgment, to have resulted solely from (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Time of Sale Circular, any Offering Circular or
any amendment or supplement thereto or any Supplemental Offering Materials or (ii) the omission or
the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Time of Sale
Circular, any Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Supplemental
Offering Materials or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent (but only to the extent) that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser
Information; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will
reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses

24

 

incurred by the Company or the Guarantors or any of their respective directors, officers or
controlling persons in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in
respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Initial
Purchaser may otherwise have to such indemnified parties.

     (c) As promptly as reasonably practical after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is
entitled to indemnification under this Section 8, such indemnified party will, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8,
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify
the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under
paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a
result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations
to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraphs
(a) and (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may determine, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if (i) the use of
counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such
counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by
counsel in writing that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other
indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt by
the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such case, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select
separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties at the
expense of the indemnifying party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of
counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than
reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in
accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however,
that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of
more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action or separate but
substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations
or circumstances, designated by the Initial Purchaser in the case of paragraph (a) of this
Section 8 or the Company or the Guarantors in the case of paragraph (b) of this
Section 8, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) or
paragraph (b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action or actions) or (ii) the
indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at
the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any
settlement of such action effected by such

25

 

indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), unless such indemnified party waived in writing its rights under
this Section 8, in which case the indemnified party may effect such a settlement without
such consent.

     (d) No indemnifying party shall be liable under this Section 8 for any settlement of
any claim or action (or threatened claim or action) effected without its written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if a claim or action is settled with its written consent,
or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff with respect to any such claim or action, each
indemnifying party, jointly and severally, agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set
forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified party from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and legal and other expenses as set forth above) incurred
by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any
settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the
indemnified party is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
the indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional written release of the
indemnified party, in form and substance satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as
to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

     (e) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section 8 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party
in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each
indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contributions, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the
relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the
indemnified party, on the other, from the Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by the
foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits
but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the
indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof). The relative benefits received by the Company or the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
total proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the
total discounts, commissions and fees received by the Initial Purchaser. The relative fault of the
parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Initial
Purchaser, on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omissions, and
any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.

     (f) The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be equitable
if the amount of such contribution determined pursuant to the immediately preceding

26

 

paragraph (e) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method
of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the first
sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph (e). Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 8, the Initial Purchaser shall not be obligated to make contributions
hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts, commissions, fees and other
compensation received by the Initial Purchaser under this Agreement less the aggregate amount of
any damages that the Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue
or alleged untrue statements or the omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph (e), each person, if
any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchaser, and each
director and officer of the Company or the Guarantors and each person, if any, who controls the
Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors.

     9. Termination. The Initial Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any time on or
prior to the Closing Date by written notice to the Company if any of the following has occurred:

     (a) since the date hereof, any Material Adverse Effect or development involving or reasonably
expected to result in a prospective Material Adverse Effect that could, in the Initial Purchaser’s
reasonable judgment, be expected to (i) make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the
offering or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Final Offering
Circular, or (ii) materially impair the investment quality of any of the Notes;

     (b) the failure of the Company to satisfy the conditions contained in Section 7 hereof
on or prior to the Closing Date;

     (c) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or
crisis, including acts of terrorism, or material adverse change or disruption in economic
conditions in, or in the financial markets of, the United States (it being understood that any such
change or disruption shall be relative to such conditions and markets as in effect on the date
hereof), if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, calamity, crisis, act or material adverse
change in the economic conditions in, or in the financial markets of, the United States could be
reasonably expected to make it, in the Initial Purchaser’s sole judgment, impracticable or
inadvisable to market or proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Final Offering Circular or to enforce contracts for the sale of any of
the Notes;

     (d) the suspension or limitation of trading generally in securities on the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market or any setting of limitations
on prices for securities on any such exchange or NASDAQ National Market;

27

 

     (e) any securities of the Company shall have been downgraded or placed on any “watch list”
for possible downgrading by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as
such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act; or

     (f) the declaration of a banking moratorium by any Governmental Authority; or the taking of
any action by any Governmental Authority after the date hereof in respect of its monetary or fiscal
affairs that in the Initial Purchaser’s opinion could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the financial markets in the United States or elsewhere.

     10. Survival of Representations and Indemnities. The respective representations and
warranties, covenants, indemnities and contribution and expense reimbursement provisions and other
agreements, of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall
remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive, regardless of (i) any
investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Initial
Purchaser, (ii) acceptance of the Notes, and payment for them hereunder, and (iii) any termination
of this Agreement.

     11. Information Supplied by the Initial Purchaser. The name of the Initial
Purchaser set forth on the front and back cover and under the heading “Plan of Distribution” of the
Preliminary Offering Circular and the Final Offering Circular and the statements set forth in: (i)
the fourth full paragraph on page ii regarding stabilization by the Initial Purchaser, (ii) (A) the
second sentence of the third paragraph, (B) the second and third sentences of the sixth paragraph
(C) the seventh paragraph and (D) the second sentence in the eighth paragraph under the heading
“Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Circular (to the extent such statements relate to the
Initial Purchaser) (the “Initial Purchaser Information”) constitute the only information
furnished by the Initial Purchaser as to itself to the Company or its Subsidiaries for the purposes
of Sections 4(a) and 8 hereof.

     12. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Initial
Purchaser is acting solely as initial purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the
Notes. The Company further acknowledges that the Initial Purchaser is acting pursuant to a
contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis,
and in no event do the parties intend that the Initial Purchaser act or be responsible as a
fiduciary to the Company or its management, stockholders or creditors or any other person in
connection with any activity that the Initial Purchaser may undertake or has undertaken in
furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Notes, either before or after the date hereof. The
Initial Purchaser hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Company,
either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up
to such transactions, and the Company hereby confirms its understanding and agreement to that
effect. The Company and the Initial Purchaser agree that they are each responsible for making their
own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views
expressed by the Initial Purchaser to the Company regarding such transactions, including, but not
limited to, any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Notes, do not
constitute advice or recommendations to the Company. The Company hereby waives and releases, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Initial
Purchaser with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty

28

 

     to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters
leading up to such transactions.

have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. The term “successors and assigns” shall not
include a purchaser of any of the Notes from the Initial Purchaser merely because of such purchase.

HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their best
efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same

stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
