Exhibit 10.1

Replacement Capital Covenant, dated as of March 15, 2007 (this “Replacement Capital
Covenant”), by XL Capital
Ltd, a limited company duly organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman
Islands (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), in favor of and for the benefit
of each Covered Debtholder (as defined below).

Recitals

A. On the date
hereof, the Company is issuing 1,000,000 Series E Perpetual Non-Cumulative
Preference Ordinary Shares, liquidation preference U.S. $1,000 per share (the “Series E
Preference Shares”).
The Company may from time to time elect to issue additional Series E Preference
Shares, and all such additional Series E Preference Shares would be deemed to
form a single series with the 1,000,000 Series E Preference Shares being issued
on the date hereof.

B. The Series E
Preference Shares and this Replacement Capital Covenant are described in the Prospectus
Supplement, dated March 12, 2007, filed with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) on March 13, 2007 relating to the
offering of Series E Preference Shares.

C. The Company is
entering into and disclosing the content of this Replacement Capital Covenant
in the manner provided below with the intent that the covenants provided for in
this Replacement Capital Covenant be enforceable by each Covered Debtholder and
that the Company be estopped from disregarding the covenants in this
Replacement Capital Covenant, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law.

D. The Company
acknowledges that reliance by each Covered Debtholder upon the covenants in
this Replacement Capital Covenant is reasonable and foreseeable by the Company
and that, were the Company to disregard its covenants in this Replacement
Capital Covenant, each Covered Debtholder would have sustained an injury as a
result of its reliance on such covenants.

NOW, THEREFORE, the
Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows in favor of and for the benefit
of each Covered Debtholder.

SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in
this Replacement Capital Covenant (including the Recitals) have the meanings
set forth in Schedule I hereto.

SECTION 2. Limitations
on Redemption or Repurchase of Series E Preference Shares. The
Company hereby promises and covenants to and for the benefit of each Covered
Debtholder that, on or before the RCC Termination Date, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries shall redeem or purchase all or any part of the Series
E Preference Shares, except to the extent that the applicable redemption or
purchase price (exclusive of declared and unpaid dividends thereon) does not
exceed the sum of the following amounts:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(i)

	
the
  Applicable Percentage of (a) the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds
  received by the Company and its Subsidiaries from the sale of Ordinary Shares
  and Qualifying Warrants to Persons other than the Company and its
  Subsidiaries and (b) the Market Value of any Ordinary Shares that the Company
  and its Subsidiaries have issued to persons other than the Company and its
  Subsidiaries in connec-

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
tion with
  the conversion of any convertible or exchangeable securities, other than
  securities for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received
  equity credit from any NRSRO (as defined below), in each case since the most
  recent Measurement Date (without double counting proceeds received in any
  prior Measurement Period); plus

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(ii)

	
100% of the
  aggregate amount of net cash proceeds received by the Company and its Subsidiaries
  since the most recent Measurement Date (without double counting proceeds
  received in any prior Measurement Period) from the sale of Mandatorily
  Convertible Preferred Stock, Debt Exchangeable for Preferred Equity and Debt
  Exchangeable for Common Equity to Persons other than the Company and its
  Subsidiaries; plus

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iii)

	
100% of the
  aggregate amount of net cash proceeds received by the Company and its
  Subsidiaries since the most recent Measurement Date (without double counting
  proceeds received in any prior Measurement Period) from the sale of any other
  Qualifying Capital Securities to Persons other than the Company and its
  Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3. Covered Debt.

(a) The
Company represents and warrants that the Initial Covered Debt is Eligible Debt.

(b) The
Company shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 3(c) for redesignating
the Covered Debt in the event that the Covered Debt then in effect is Eligible
Senior Debt and the Company subsequently issues Eligible Subordinated Debt, in
which case the Company shall redesignate such newly-issued Eligible
Subordinated Debt as the Covered Debt. In addition, the Company shall follow
the procedures set forth in Section 3(c) for redesignating the Covered Debt on
(i) the date that is two years prior to the final maturity date of the Covered
Debt then in effect or (ii) the applicable redemption or repurchase date in the
event the Company elects to redeem, or the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company elects to repurchase, such Covered Debt in whole or in part with the consequence
that after giving effect to such redemption or repurchase, the outstanding
principal amount of such Covered Debt is less than $100,000,000.

(c) During the
30-calendar-day period immediately preceding any Redesignation Date with
respect to the Covered Debt then in effect, the Company shall identify the
series of Eligible Debt that will become the Covered Debt on and after such
Redesignation Date in accordance with the following procedures:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(i)

	
the Company
  shall identify each series of its then outstanding long-term indebtedness for
  money borrowed that is Eligible Debt;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(ii)

	
if only one
  series of the Company’s then outstanding long-term indebtedness for money
  borrowed is Eligible Debt, such series shall become the Covered Debt
  commencing on the related Redesignation Date; and

-2-

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iii)

	
if the
  Company has more than one outstanding series of long-term indebtedness for
  money borrowed that is Eligible Debt, the series that has the latest
  occurring final maturity date shall become the Covered Debt on the related
  Redesignation Date.

The series of
outstanding long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is determined to be
Covered Debt pursuant to clause (c)(ii) or (c)(iii) above shall be the Covered
Debt for purposes of this Replacement Capital Covenant for the period
commencing on the related Redesignation Date and continuing to, but not
including, the Redesignation Date as of which a new series of outstanding
long-term indebtedness is next determined to be the Covered Debt pursuant to
the procedures set forth in this Section 3(c).

In connection
with the identification of any new series of Covered Debt, the Company shall
give the notices and/or make the filings or website postings provided for in Section
3(d) within the time frame provided for in such section.

(d) Notice. In order to give effect to the
intent of the Company described in Recital C, the Company covenants that:

  to the execution copy of this Replacement Capital Covenant to be included on
  the Investor Screen for the Initial Covered Debt;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(ii)

	
it shall, if
  a series of the Company’s long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that
  includes securities issued in the United States (1) becomes Covered Debt or
  (2) ceases to be Covered Debt, (A) give notice of such occurrence within 30
  calendar days to the holders of such long-term indebtedness for money
  borrowed in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement
  or other instrument under which such long-term indebtedness for money
  borrowed was issued and (B) if and so long as it is a reporting company under
  the Exchange Act, report such change by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K
  under the Exchange Act containing a description of the covenant set forth in
  Section 2 and identifying the series of long-term indebtedness for borrowed
  money that is Covered Debt as

  of such filing and including or incorporating by reference a copy of this
  Replacement Capital Covenant as an exhibit;

  or (2) ceases to be Covered Debt, (A) give notice of such occurrence within

  Company’s website, (D) as promptly as practicable, cause a notice of such
  occurrence to be posted on the Investor Screen for the then-effective series

  termination of this Replacement Capital Covenant and the obligations of the
  Company hereunder;

-4-

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iii)

	
the date on
  which the Company does not have any series of outstanding Eligible
  Subordinated Debt or Eligible Senior Debt (in each case without giving effect
  to the rating requirement in clause (b) of the definition of each such term);
  and

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iv)

	
the date on
  which the Company does not have any outstanding Series E Preference Shares.

(b) This
Replacement Capital Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time
by a written instrument signed by the Company with the consent of the Holder(s)
of a majority by principal amount of the then-effective series of Covered Debt,
provided that this Replacement
Capital Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written
instrument signed only by the Company (and without the consent of the Holder(s)
of the then-effective series of Covered Debt) if:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(i)

	
the effect

  on the types of securities qualifying as Replacement Capital Securities, and

  series of Covered Debt in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal
  agency agreement or other instrument with respect to such Covered Debt a

  Equity as a security or securities covered by Sections 2(i) and (ii), provided
  that the Company has been advised in writing by a nationally recognized
  independent accounting firm that there is more than an insubstantial risk
  that the failure to do so would result in a reduction in the Company’s
  earnings per share as calculated for financial reporting purposes;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iii)

	
the effect
  of such amendment or supplement is solely to impose additional restrictions
  on the ability of the Company to redeem or purchase Series E Preference
  Shares in any circumstance, including extending the termination date
  specified in Section 4(a)(i), the dates specified in the definition of
  Applicable Percentage and the dates specified in the definition of Qualifying
  Capital Securities; or

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iv)

	
such
  amendment or supplement is not adverse to the Holder(s) of the then-effective
  series of Covered Debt and an officer of the Company has delivered to the
  Holder(s) of the then effective series of Covered Debt in the manner provided
  for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other instrument with
  respect to such Covered Debt a written certificate stating that, in his or
  her determination, such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the
  Holder(s) of the then-effective series of Covered Debt.

-5-

(c) For
purposes of Sections 4(a) and 4(b), the Holder(s) whose consent or agreement is
required to terminate, amend or supplement the obligations of the Company under
this Replacement Capital Covenant shall be the Holder(s) of the then-effective
series of Covered Debt as of a record date established by the Company that is
not more than 30 calendar days prior to the date on which the Company proposes
that such termination, amendment or supplement becomes effective.

Replacement Capital Covenant shall be binding upon the Company and its
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Covered

the Company that any Person who is a Covered Debtholder at the time such Person

Capital Covenant after the Company has violated its covenants in Section 2 and

Person is no longer Covered Debt, such Person’s rights under this Replacement
Capital Covenant shall not terminate by reason of such series of long-term
indebtedness for money borrowed no longer being Covered Debt until the
termination of such claim or proceeding). Except as specifically provided
herein, this Replacement Capital Covenant shall have no other beneficiaries,
and no Persons other than a Holder of Covered Debt is entitled to rely on this
Replacement Capital Covenant.

Definitions

“Alternative Payment Mechanism” means, with
respect to any securities or combination of securities (together in this
definition, “such securities”), provisions in the related transaction documents
requiring the Company to issue (or use commercially reasonable efforts to
issue) one or more types of APM Qualifying Securities raising eligible proceeds
at least equal to the deferred Distributions on such securities and apply the
proceeds to pay unpaid Distributions on such securities, commencing on the
earlier of (x) the first Distribution Date after commencement of a deferral
period on which the Company pays current Distributions on such securities and
(y) the fifth anniversary of the commencement of such deferral period, and
that:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(a)

	
define
  “eligible proceeds” to mean, for purposes of such Alternative Payment
  Mechanism, the net proceeds (after underwriters’ or placement agents’ fees,
  commissions or discounts and other expenses relating to the issuance or sale
  of the relevant securities, where applicable, and including the fair market
  value of property received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as
  consideration for such securities) that the Company has received during the
  180 days prior to the related Distribution Date from the issuance of APM
  Qualifying Securities, up to the Preferred Cap (as defined in paragraph (f)
  below) in the case of APM Qualifying Securities that are Qualifying
  Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred
  Stock;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(b)

	
permit the
  Company to pay current Distributions on any Distribution Date out of any
  source of funds but prohibit the Company from paying deferred Distributions
  out of any source of funds other than eligible proceeds;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(c)

	
if deferral
  of Distributions continues for more than one year (or such shorter period as
  provided for in the terms of such securities), require the Company not to
  repay, redeem or purchase any APM Qualifying Securities of the Company or any
  securities of the Company that on a bankruptcy or liquidation of the Company
  rank pari passu or junior to
  such APM Qualifying Securities until at least one year after all deferred
  Distributions have been paid;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(d)

	
may include
  a provision that, notwithstanding the Common Cap (as defined in paragraph (f)
  below) and the Preferred Cap, for purposes of paying deferred Distributions,
  limits the ability of the Company to sell Ordinary Shares, Qualifying Warrants,
  or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock above an aggregate cap specified
  in the transaction documents (a “Share Cap”),
  subject to the Company’s agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to
  increase the Share Cap amount (i) only to the extent that it can do so and
  simultaneously satisfy its future fixed or contingent obligations under other
  securities and derivative instruments that provide for settlement or payment
  in Ordinary Shares or (ii) if the Company cannot increase the Share Cap
  amount as contemplated in the preceding clause, by requesting its Board of
  Directors to adopt a resolution for shareholder

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
vote at the
  next occurring annual shareholders meeting to increase the number of shares
  of the Company’s authorized Ordinary Shares for purposes of satisfying the
  Company’s obligations to pay deferred Distributions;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(e)

	
permit the
  Company, at its option, to provide that if the Company is involved in a
  merger, consolidation, amalgamation or conveyance, transfer or lease of
  assets substantially as an entirety to any other person (a “business
  combination”) where immediately after the consummation of the
  business combination more than 50% of the voting stock of the surviving entity
  of the business combination, or the person to whom all or substantially all
  of the Company’s assets are conveyed, transferred or leased, is owned by the
  shareholders of the other party to the business combination, then clauses
  (a), (b) and (c) above will not apply to any deferral period that is
  terminated on the next interest payment date following the date of consummation
  of the business combination; and

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(f)

	
limit the
  obligation of the Company to issue (or use commercially reasonable efforts to
  issue) APM Qualifying Securities up to:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(i)

	
in the case
  of APM Qualifying Securities that are Ordinary Shares or Qualifying Warrants,
  an aggregate amount of all Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the
  exercise of such Qualifying Warrants pursuant to the Alternative Payment
  Mechanism with respect to deferred Distributions during the first five years
  of any deferral period equal to 2% of the total number of issued and
  outstanding shares of the Ordinary Shares of the Company as of the date of
  the Company’s most recently publicly available consolidated financial
  statements as of the date of such issuance (the “Common Cap”), provided (and it being understood) that
  the Common Cap shall cease to apply to such deferral period by a date (as specified
  in the related transaction documents) which shall be not later than the fifth
  anniversary of the commencement of such deferral period; and

  Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and still-outstanding Mandatorily
  Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to such Alternative Payment Mechanism)
  equal to 25% of the initial principal or stated amount of the securities that
  are the subject of the related Alternative Payment Mechanism (the “Preferred Cap”);

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
provided (and it
  being understood) that:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(a)

	
the Company
  shall not be obligated to issue (or use commercially reasonable efforts to
  issue) APM Qualifying Securities for so long as a Market Disruption Event has
  occurred and is continuing;

-2-

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(b)

	
if, due to a
  Market Disruption Event or otherwise, the Company is able to raise and apply
  some, but not all, of the eligible proceeds necessary to pay all deferred
  Distributions on any Distribution Date, the Company will apply any available
  eligible proceeds to pay accrued and unpaid Distributions on the applicable
  Distribution Date in chronological order subject to the Common Cap, the
  Preferred Cap and the Share Cap (if any), as applicable; and if the Company
  has outstanding more than one class or series of securities under which it is
  obligated to sell a type of APM Qualifying Securities and apply some part of
  the proceeds to the payment of deferred Distributions, then on any date and

          WHEREAS,
in exchange for the Employee’s general releases and covenants provided in this
Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide severance benefits to the

          NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the

Separation Benefits

          The
Company will pay the Employee his Base Salary (as defined in Section 2.1 of the
Employment Agreement) through the Separation Date to the extent earned but not
theretofore paid, in accorandance with the Company’s normal payroll practices.
The Company will also pay the Employee any annual and/or quarterly Cash Bonus
and Stock Bonus for 2006 to the extent earned under Section 2.2 of the
Employment Agreement and not theretofore paid, at the same time that such
bonuses are paid to executive officers of the Company. The Employee shall be
entitled to (i) continuation of all benefits described in Section 2.3 of the
Employment Agreement through the end of the term, including the benefit of
matching payments made for the 401(k) plan for the 2006 year, which payments
shall be made at the same time that the Company makes matching payments for
other 401(k) participants, (ii) reimbursement of all expenses that are
otherwise reimbursable under Section 2.4 of the Employment Agreement, even if submitted
after the Separation Date, in accordance with the Company’s expense
reimbursement policy, (iii) payment of the Automobile Allowance (as defined in
Section 2.8 of the Employment Agreement) through the Separation Date, and (iv)
vesting of the remaining tranche of Restricted Shares (20,000) on December 31,
2006. In addition, in consideration of the Employee’s promises, releases and
covenants contained in this Agreement, the Company agrees as follows:

          (a)
Cash Severance. The Company will pay the Employee, within
two (2) business days following the Separation Date, a lump sum payment of one
million two hundred thousand dollars ($1,200,000) in cash, less withholdings
for taxes and other required items. The parties agree that such cash severance amount
includes any unused vacation time as of the Separation Date. 

          (b)
Stock Award. The Company will issue to the Employee, on December
30, 2006, that number of shares of Company common stock having an aggregate
fair market value on the Separation Date equal to six hundred thousand dollars
($600,000). For purposes of this Agreement, the fair market value of such
shares shall be calculated using the per share closing sales price on the New
York Stock Exchange on December 29, 2006, or, in the absence of reported sales
on such date, the closing sales price on the immediately preceding date on
which sales were reported. No fractional shares shall be issued; cash will be
paid in lieu thereof. Each such share of restricted stock will vest (and will no
longer be subject to risk of forfeiture) on December 31, 2006. Employee may
elect to “net share settle” the grant on the grant date to satisfy state and
federal income tax obligations in a manner that is consistent with the
Company’s prior practice. The parties agree that such shares may not be sold or
transferred for a period of twelve (12) months following the date on which the
shares are issued; provided, however, that this transfer restriction shall not
apply to the following: (i) any sale or transfer (including an implied sale
pursuant to a net share settlement arrangement with the Company) to

2

satisfy state,
local, federal or foreign income tax liabilities of the Employee arising from
the receipt or vesting of those shares; (ii) any transfer to a charitable trust
established by the Employee; and (iii) any transfer upon or following a Change
in Control of the Company, as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement.

          (c)
Lapse of Holding Requirements on Previous Stock Awards. The Company will
cause the eighteen (18)-month holding restriction imposed on any shares of
stock held by the Employee which were issued or will be issued as a Stock
Bonus, as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement, under the Premiere
Global Services, Inc. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan pursuant to one or more
Restricted Stock Agreements to terminate as of the Separation Date.

          (d)
Benefits Coverage. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, upon the
Separation Date, the Employee will be entitled to continue to participate (i)
for twelve (12) months after the Separation Date, in any dental, disability,
life or similar programs (“Other Welfare Benefits Programs”) provided by the
Company and in which he participated immediately before the Separation Date, and
(ii) for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Separation Date, in any
medical or health plans and programs (“Healthcare Benefits Programs”) provided
by the Company and in which he participated immediately before the Separation
Date, on the same basis as during his employment (including payment by the
Company of the costs and expenses associated with such programs on the same
terms as during the time the Employee was employed with the Company). In
meeting its obligations under this provision, the Company will take all actions
which may be necessary or appropriate to comply with criteria set forth by the
Company’s insurance carriers and other program providers to continue the
Employee’s participation or, in the Company’s discretion, the Company may provide
equivalent coverage under alternative arrangements. The parties agree that, in
satisfaction of its obligations relating to the Other Welfare Benefits
Programs, the Company will pay Employee a lump sum amount equal to the costs to
Employee for the coverage (or coverages) for the full 12-month period within
five (5) days after the Employee’s Separation Date (which amount the parties
agree is $7,500). The parties further agree that, in satisfaction of its
obligations relating to the Healthcare Benefits Programs, the Company shall
permit the Employee to continue to participate in the Healthcare Benefits
Programs, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for a period of six (6)
months following the Separation Date, and, following such six (6)-month period,
the Company shall (i) pay to Employee within five (5) days after the
termination of such six (6)-month period a lump sum amount equal to the monthly
rate for COBRA coverage at the last date of such six (6)-month period that is
then being paid by former active employees for the level of coverage that
applies to Employee and his dependents, minus the amount active employees are
then paying for such coverage, multiplied by 18 months (plus a tax gross-up on
such lump sum amount), and (ii) permit Employee and his dependents to elect to
participate in the healthcare plan for the 18-month period upon payment of the
applicable rate for COBRA coverage during the 18-month period. With respect to
continued coverage under any such medical or health plan, if the Employee
becomes eligible for health benefits through any arrangement sponsored by or
paid for by a subsequent employer of the Employee, then continued coverage
under any arrangement provided by the Company will be made secondary to, and
coordinated with, such other coverage in which the Employee is eligible.

3

          (e)
Life Insurance. Pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof, the
Employee shall have the option to assume, at his sole expense, the one million
dollar ($1,000,000) term life insurance policy on his life which the Company
maintains with Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Corporation; policy number
17-513-901. The Company has paid all premiums for coverage under this policy
through April 2007 and will not seek reimbursement of such amounts from the
Employee.

          (f)
The Company shall provide the Employee with an office and parking at its
present executive offices in Atlanta for one (1) year after the Separation
Date; provided that such obligation shall terminate prior to such anniversary
upon the earlier of (i) the Company’s relocation to new offices, or (ii) a
Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

          (g)
The Company shall continue to satisfy in full any currently existing or
hereafter arising indemnification obligations to the Employee (whether arising
by law, the Company’s bylaws or pursuant to the Employee’s separate
Indemnification Agreements with the Company). The Company hereby acknowledges
its obligations under the Director’s Indemnification Agreement dated May 22,
1998 and the Officer’s Indemnification Agreement dated August 11, 1997, each
between the Company and the Employee (the “Indemnification Agreements”) and
further acknowledges that the Employee’s service as an officer, director, or
other fiduciary of the Company, any and all current or past subsidiaries and
affiliates of the Company and all entities in which the Company made an
investment (Ptek Ventures, et al.), and the Employee’s past service as a member
of the investment committee of the Company’s 401(k) plan, were made at the
request of the Company and are covered by all the Company’s indemnification
obligations. The Employee is deemed to be an “insured person” under the
Company’s existing Directors and Officers liability insurance for his period of
service to the Company prior to the Separation Date. The Company agrees to
maintain D&O insurance coverage in the future that provides former
directors and officers substantially similar coverage as then current directors
and officers until all applicable statutes of limitations expire and to afford
Employee substantially similar coverage under any D&O insurance arrangement
that may be provided to then current directors and officers of the Company as
part of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Employment
Agreement). All of these obligations shall also apply to any successor of the
Company.

          (h)
The Company and the Employee intend for all payments under this Agreement to be
either outside the scope of Section 409A of the Code or to comply with its
requirements as to timing of payments. Accordingly, to the extent applicable,
this Agreement shall at all times be operated in accordance with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, as amended, and the regulations and
rulings thereunder, including any applicable transition rules. The Company and
the Employee shall take action, or refrain from taking any action, with respect
to the payments and benefits under this Agreement that is reasonably necessary
to comply with Section 409A.

A GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY UNDER THE
AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT. THE EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS HAD

rights to defend itself from any allegations or charges in the event that any
claim or action is initiated by the other party; provided that, a party’s right
to assert counterclaims and crossclaims relating to matters otherwise waived or

Date, the Employee will not, as a shareholder, owner, operator, employee,
partner, independent contractor, consultant, lender, financier, officer or
director, within any portion of the United States in which the Company conducts
business on the effective date of this Agreement (the “Territory”), which the
parties acknowledge is the same territory in which the Employee performed his
services on behalf of the Company:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (i)
  participate in the ownership or management of or provide services of
  substantially the same nature or character as those provided to the Company

  Company in the Territory with respect to conferencing (audio conferencing and
  Web-based collaboration),or multimedia messaging (high-volume actionable
  communications, including e-mail, wireless messaging, voice message delivery
  and fax); provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the
  Employee from maintaining a passive investment of less than three percent
  (3%) of any class of equity securities of a

corporation
  whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on NASDAQ; or

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
          (ii)
  solicit or induce any person who is an employee, officer, agent, affiliate,
  supplier, client or customer of the Company to terminate such relationship,
  refuse to do business with the Company or reduce the amount of products or
  services purchased from the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of
  this clause (ii), clients and customers shall be limited to actual clients or
  customers or actively–sought clients or customers of the Company with whom
  the Employee had material contact during the term of the Employment
  Agreement.

          (b)
Trade Secrets. The Employee acknowledges and
recognizes that during his employment with the Company he acquired secret or
confidential information, knowledge, or data with respect to the business or
products of the Company which may provide advantage to the Company over others
not having such information (“Confidential Information”). For a period of one
(1) year following the Separation Date, the Employee will not communicate,
disclose, divulge or use any such secret or Confidential Information to the
detriment of the Company. The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall not apply
to any information that (i) was known to the Employee prior to his employment
by the Company or (ii) becomes generally available to the telecommunications
industry other than as a result of disclosure by the Employee. Any Confidential
Information that also constitutes a “trade secret” under applicable law shall
be subject to any additional protections afforded by law and the duration of

the underlying Confidential Information continues to meet the definition of a
“trade secret.”

          (c)

confidential information relating to computer software or hardware currently
utilized by the Company or incorporated into its products and all such

to return economically insignificant items such as pens, pads, and other
non-durable office supplies which the Employee may have obtained during his
employment with the Company.

          (d)
Remedies. In the event the Employee violates
or threatens to violate the provisions of this Section 4, damages at law will
be an insufficient remedy and the Company will be entitled to equitable relief
in addition to any other remedies or rights available to the Company and no
bond or security will be required in connection with such equitable relief.

7

of action the Employee may have against the Company will not at any time
constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the restrictions or
rights provided by this Section 4.

          (f)
Company. For purposes of this Section 4,

Employee agrees, in further consideration of the above-described payments,

while employed by Company; and (b) by appearing voluntarily at hearings,
depositions, trials and other proceedings relating to such matters, upon

Severability

the exception of the releases contained in Section 3 of this Agreement, if any
provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or is held to be unenforceable,
such provision shall be fully severable, and this Agreement and its terms shall
be construed and enforced as if such unenforceable provision had never comprised

provision as similar in terms and effect to such unenforceable provision as may
be enforceable in lieu of the unenforceable provision. In the event that the

to be unenforceable, the parties understand and agree that the remaining
provisions of the Agreement shall be rendered null and void and that neither
party shall have any further obligation under any provision of this Agreement;
