           THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between PREMIERE GLOBAL SERVICES, INC., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), and T. LEE PROVOW (the “Employee”), on September 15,
2006, to be effective as of July 20, 2006 (the “Effective Date”).

BACKGROUND STATEMENT 

           The Employee and the Company’s subsidiary, Xpedite Systems, Inc. (k/n/a Xpedite Systems, LLC), entered into that certain Employment Agreement as of August 1, 2003, as amended by a First
Amendment to Employment Agreement dated as of August 1, 2004 and a Second Amendment to Employment Agreement dated as of April 22, 2005 (as amended, the “Original Agreement”). The Company and the Employee desire to amend and restate the
Original Agreement as set forth herein. 

           THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the foregoing Background Statement and the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and other good and
valuable consideration, the Company and the Employee amend and restate the Original Agreement as follows:

TERMS 

           Section 1.           Duties. The Company hereby employs the Employee as President, Global Operations of the Company. The Employee will have the powers, duties and responsibilities as from time to time
assigned to him by the President of the Company, to whom he shall report. His duties will include the day-to-day management responsibility for the operations, development and customer support for the Company. The Employee will devote substantially
all of his business time to faithfully and industriously perform his duties and promote the business and best interests of the Company. The Employee’s duties hereunder are to be performed (subject to travel as may be required in the conduct of
his duties hereunder) at the Company’s corporate headquarters located in Atlanta, Georgia. 

           Section 2.           Compensation. 

           Section 2.1.        Base Salary. During the term of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement, the Company will pay the Employee an annual base salary of three hundred eighty-five thousand dollars ($385,000.00), payable in
accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices.

           Section 2.2.        Bonus Compensation. In addition to his base salary, the Employee will be entitled to earn an annual bonus and/or quarterly bonuses for each calendar year during the term of this Agreement in an amount to be
determined based upon performance criteria and targets established from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”). Unless the Compensation Committee determines
otherwise prior to the end of the first quarter of a given calendar year, the Employee’s target bonus for each calendar year will be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of his annual base salary for such year, with 80% of the target bonus
allocated to achievement of quarterly targets (i.e. 20% per quarter) and 20% allocated to achievement of annual targets. The Employee will also be entitled to any additional bonus and incentive compensation granted to Employee by the Compensation
Committee in its discretion. The timing of determination and the date of payment of the bonus would be consistent with the payment dates for the other senior officers of the Company. 

           Section 2.3.        Employee Benefits. During the term of his employment under this Agreement, the Employee will be entitled to participate in all employee benefit programs, including pension and profit-sharing plans, and any medical,

the Company’s cost, the $1,000,000 term life insurance policy that is currently in effect, and the Company shall pay Employee’s membership dues at the Hawks Ridge Country Club.

          Section 2.4.        Reimbursement of Expenses.  The Company will reimburse the Employee, in accordance with the Company’s policies, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Employee in performing his
duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will have no obligation to pay reimbursements under this Section 2.4 unless the Employee submits timely reports of his expenditures to the Company in the manner prescribed by the
Company.

           Section 2.5.        Vacation. The Employee will be entitled to three (3) weeks paid vacation annually in accordance with the Company’s policies.

will pay the Employee a monthly automobile allowance of 

one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), payable
in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices.

          Section 3.           Term of Employment. Subject to
    Section 4 hereof, the Employee’s initial term of employment under this
    Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and will expire on December 31,
    2007. The initial term of employment will automatically renew for an additional
    one-year period upon the foregoing expiration, and thereafter upon the expiration
    of any renewal term provided by this Section 3, unless the Company or the
    Employee provides written notice to the other party at least ninety (90)
    days prior to the expiration date that such party does not want this Agreement

           Section
4.2.        Termination by the
Company without Cause or by the Employee with Good Reason.

          (a)           The Company may terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement for “Cause,” which shall consist of any of the following:

	          	               (i)
                the willful
          and continued failure of the Employee to perform substantially his
          duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from
          incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and specifically excluding
          any failure by the Employee, after reasonable efforts, to meet performance
          expectations), after a written demand for substantial performance is
          delivered to Executive by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
          that specifically identifies the manner in which the Chief Executive
          Officer of the Company believes that the Employee has not substantially
          performed his duties;

                      (ii)
               the willful engaging by the Employee in illegal conduct or gross misconduct
          which has, or reasonably may be expected to have, a substantial, adverse
          effect upon the Company; 

                      (iii)     Employee’s
          violation of any written policy of the Company;

                      (iv)
              the Employee’s indictment, conviction,
          or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere for the commission
          or perpetration of any felony or any crime involving dishonesty, embezzlement,
          theft, moral turpitude or fraud;

                      (v)             the Employee’s breach of any provision of Section 5 of this Agreement;
    or 

	          	                (vi)     the Employee’s
            breach of any other material term or covenant of this Agreement;
            provided that such breach is not cured, if it is susceptible to cure,
            within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from the Company
          setting forth the allegations of Cause. 

          (b)           The Employee may terminate his employment under this Agreement for “Good Reason,” which shall consist of any of the following:

	          	               (i)
               the assignment to the Employee of any duties inconsistent in any respect
          with the Employee’s position (including status, offices, titles
          and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities
          with the Company or any other action by the Company which results in
          a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities,
          excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent
          action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company
          promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Employee;

                      (ii)             a material reduction in the Employee’s base salary or target bonus
          opportunity without a corresponding adjustment to, or the provision
          by the Company to the Employee of, alternate compensation, having an
          equivalent value, in a different form (including, without limitation,
          cash incentive awards, stock and stock-based awards, or other property);

                      (iii)            a
          material breach by the Company of any of the provisions of this Agreement;
        or 

                      (iv)
              the Company’s requiring the Employee without
          his consent to be based at any office or location other than the Atlanta,
          Georgia area. 

          However, no such event described hereunder shall constitute Good Reason unless the Employee has given written notice to the Company specifying the event relied upon for such determination within
ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such event and the Company has not remedied such situation within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. The Company shall notify the Employee of the timely cure of any claimed event of Good Reason and
the manner in which such cure was effected, and any notice of termination delivered by the Employee based on such claimed Good Reason that has been cured shall be deemed withdrawn and shall not be effective to terminate the Agreement.  

          (c)           Any non-renewal of the term of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereof, in contemplation of, or within twenty-four (24) months after, a Change in Control (as defined below)
shall be deemed to constitute a termination by the Company without Cause as of the expiration of the then-current term of this Agreement. 

          (d)           If the Employee’s
employment with the Company under this Agreement is terminated (i) by the Company
without Cause either before or after a Change in Control or (ii) by the Employee
with Good Reason within twenty-four (24) months after a Change

 in Control, the Employee will be entitled to receive (A)
an amount equal to his annual base salary through the date of termination (the “Termination
Date”) to the extent not theretofore paid, (B) a pro rata portion of any
quarterly bonus earned by the Employee with respect to the calendar quarter in
which the termination occurs, payable on or about the same date that bonuses
for such calendar  quarter are paid to other executive officers of the Company,
(C) severance pay equal, in the aggregate, to two hundred percent (200%) of the
Employee’s annual base salary in effect on the Termination Date, and (D)
an amount equal to the cost of  the Employee’s COBRA coverage for eighteen
(18) months, determined as of the Termination Date. Subject to Section 8, if
the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company
without Cause before a Change in Control or  more than twenty-four (24) months
after a Change in Control, the amounts in clauses (C) and (D) shall be paid in
accordance with the Company’s payroll practices over the twenty-four (24)
month and eighteen (18) month periods, respectively,  following the Termination
Date. If, during the twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control, the Employee’s
employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by
the Employee with Good Reason, the Employee will be  entitled to receive the
amounts in clauses (C) and (D) payable in a lump sum within five (5) business
days of the Termination Date. As a condition to the payment of these severance
amounts, the Employee will sign a release and waiver of claims in  substantially
the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. 

           (e)           For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

          (i)           An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (“Voting Securities”) by any “Person” (as the term person is used for purposes of
Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “1934 Act”)) immediately after which such Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred, Voting Securities that are acquired in an acquisition
by (A) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (I) the Company or (II) any corporation or other person of which a majority of its voting power or its equity securities or equity interests are owned directly or
indirectly by the Company (a “Subsidiary”), or (B) the Company or any Subsidiary, or (C) any Person in connection with a “Non-Control Transaction” (as hereinafter defined), shall not constitute an acquisition for purposes for
this clause (i); or

          (ii)          The
individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, are members of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason
to constitute at least sixty  percent (60%) of the Board; provided, however,
that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders,
of any new director was approved by a vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of
the Incumbent Board, such new director  shall for purposes of this Agreement,
be considered as a member of the 

Incumbent Board; provided, further, however, that no individual
shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially
assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as
described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the 1934 Act) or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the
Board (a “Proxy Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended
to  avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or

          (iii)           Approval by the shareholders of the Company of:

          (A)           a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company, unless: 

	          	               (I)
                the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such merger, consolidation
          or reorganization, own, directly or indirectly, immediately following
          such a merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least fifty one
          percent (51%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
          securities of the corporation resulting from such merger, consolidation
          or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) in substantially
          the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately
          before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, and

                      (II)             the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately
        prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such merger,
        consolidation or reorganization constitute at least two thirds (2/3)
        of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation.
        (A transaction in which both of clauses (I) and (II) above shall be
        applicable is hereinafter referred to as a “Non-Control Transaction.”);
    or 

          (B)           A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or 

	          	(C)          An
        agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
        of the assets of the Company to any Person (other than a transfer to
        a Subsidiary). 

           Section
4.3.       Termination by the
Employee without Good Reason. The Employee may terminate his employment under
this Agreement without Good Reason by giving the Company at least thirty (30)
days prior written notice. 

           Section
4.4.      Compensation Upon Termination by the Company
for Cause or by the Employee without Good Reason. In the event the Company terminates
the Employee’s employment hereunder for Cause, or if the Employee terminates
 his employment pursuant to Section 4.3, the Company will pay to the Employee
his accrued base salary through the termination date, as well as any earned and
accrued but unpaid bonus compensation. 

          Section
    5.           Restrictive
Covenants.

           Section
    5.1.       Acknowledgements. The Employee understands
    and agrees that, by virtue of the Employee’s position with the Company,
    the Employee will have substantial impact on the
    goodwill and other legitimate business interests of the Company and access
    to ”Confidential Information” and “Trade Secrets” (as such terms are defined below) relating to the Company
  and its customers. Employee hereby acknowledges his responsibility for building and maintaining business and customer relationships for the Company and the Company’s significant investment of resources and money in specialized training and
  professional development of the Employee concerning the Company’s unique business services, processes and strategies.  Accordingly, the Employee acknowledges that he will be in a position to have a substantial adverse impact on the
  Company’s business interests should the Employee engage in activities in violation of the restrictive covenants of this Section 5. The Employee acknowledges that the Company is materially relying upon the Employee’s compliance with the
  terms of this Section 5 and that the Employee’s covenants herein are material to the Company’s ongoing operations. The Employee further acknowledges that the Employee’s
  adherence to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 5 is also
  an important and substantial part of the consideration that the Company is
  receiving under this Agreement and agrees that the term, geographic area and
  scope of the restrictive covenants in this Section 5 are reasonably necessary
  to protect and preserve the legitimate business interest of the Company and
  enforceable in all respects. Employee further acknowledges and agrees the Employee
  is capable of obtaining gainful, lucrative and desirable employment that does
  not violate the restrictions contained in this Agreement.

          Section 5.2       Prohibited Activities. During the “Restricted Period” (as defined below), the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, for the Employee’s own account or for or on behalf
of any other person or entity, whether as an owner, operator, officer, director, employee, partner, principal, joint venturer, consultant, investor, shareholder or independent contractor: 

           (a)      Non-competition.  Participate in the ownership or management of, or provide services, within a seventy-five (75) mile radius of each location in which the Company conducts “Business”
(as defined below) within the United States on the Effective Date of the Agreement (the “Territory”), of substantially the same nature or character as those provided to the Company by the Employee to any business that directly or
indirectly competes with the Company in the Territory with respect to multimedia messaging (high-volume actionable communications, including e-mail, wireless messaging, voice message delivery, SMS messaging and fax) and audio and data conferencing
and Web-based collaboration services (collectively, the “Business”). Employee acknowledges and agrees that in connection with his performance of the duties set forth in Section 1, Employee will be performing services in and have overall
responsibility, including without limitation management and operational responsibility, for each of these office locations. 

          (b)      Non-solicitation.
Solicit for the purpose of engaging in the Business or competing with the Company
any (i) customers of the Company who were customers of the Company during the
one (1) year period preceding Employee’s termination and with whom the Employee
had material contact, or (ii) prospective customers of the Company who, within
two (2) years prior to Employee’s termination, had been the subject of individually targeted solicitation by Company representatives to become a customer of the Company and where the Employee supervised and/or participated in such solicitation activities. For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee
shall be deemed to have had “material contact” with a customer if (a) he had business dealings with the customer on the Company’s behalf; (b) he was responsible for supervising or coordinating the dealings between the Company and the
customer; or (c) he obtained Trade Secrets or Confidential Information about the customer as a result of his association with the Company. 

           (c)      Non-recruitment. Solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any of the Company’s employees, agents, consultants, or independent contractors to terminate their relationship with the Company or to establish a
relationship with a competitor of the Company of substantially the same nature or character theretofore existing with respect to the Company.

           (d)      Non-disparagement.  Speak or act in any manner that is intended to, or does in fact, damage the goodwill or the business or reputation of the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Restricted Period will be a period beginning on the Effective Date and continuing for a period of one (1) year after the termination or expiration of the Employee’s employment hereunder,
regardless of the reason for such termination or expiration. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Employee may own as a passive investment less than three percent (3%) of any class of securities registered pursuant to the 1934 Act of any corporation
engaged in competition with the Company pursuant to Section 5.2(a) hereof so long as the Employee does not otherwise (i) participate in the management or operation of any such business, or (ii) violate any other provision of this Agreement.

           Section 5.3.       No Interference With Contracts. The Employee acknowledges his obligation to abide by applicable state laws prohibiting interference with the Company’s
contracts with third parties, such as improperly seeking to have a third party terminate or not renew any contractual relationship with the Company. 

          Section 5.4.       Confidentiality and Trade Secrets. 

                      (a)           The
Employee agrees to maintain in strict confidence, and not use or disclose to
anyone except pursuant to written instructions from the Company, any “Trade
Secret” of the Company, for so long as the pertinent data
or information remains a Trade Secret, provided that the obligation to protect
the confidentiality of any such information or data shall not be excused if such
information or data ceases to qualify as a Trade Secret as a result of the unauthorized
 acts or omissions of the Employee. 

                    (b)           The
    Employee agrees to maintain in strict confidence and, except as necessary
    to perform his duties hereunder, not to use or disclose any “Confidential
    Information” during his employment hereunder and for a period of two
(2) years thereafter.

                    (c)           Upon termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the Employee shall not retain or destroy and shall return to the Company any and all property and all business records of the
  Company and its customers, including, but not limited to, cell phones, keys, credit and identification cards, computers, files, personal items or equipment provided to the Employee for his use, together with all written or recorded materials,
  contracts, calendars, telephone lists, electronically stored information, documents, computer disks, plans, records (including, without limitation, customer records on computer drives, computer disks or paper), notes or other materials relating to
  the Company, its business or its customers, including all copies thereof, regardless of whether the Employee prepared them himself or they were provided to the Employee by the Company or any customer.  At all times, the items listed above shall
  remain the property of the Company or its customers. 

                      (d)           The Employee may disclose Trade Secrets or Confidential Information pursuant to any order or legal process requiring him (in his legal counsel’s reasonable opinion) to do so, provided that the Employee shall first have
notified the Company in writing of the request or order to so disclose the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information in sufficient time to allow the Company to seek an appropriate protective order. 

                      (e)           “Trade Secret” shall mean information that is a trade secret as defined under applicable law.  In the absence of a definition under applicable law, a “Trade Secret” shall mean any information, without
regard to form, including, but not limited to, technical or non-technical data, a formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a device, a method, a technique, a drawing, a process, financial data, financial plans, product plans or a list of actual
or potential customers or suppliers which is not commonly known by, or available to, the public and which information (i) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper
means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. 

                    (f)           “Confidential Information” shall mean any nonpublic information of a competitively sensitive nature, other than Trade Secrets, acquired by the Employee, directly or indirectly, in
connection with the Employee’s employment, including (without limitation) oral, written or electronic information concerning the Company, its businesses, or its customers, suppliers or partners that is not generally known to the public or the
Company’s competitors and which has value to the Company or its customers,
including, but not limited to the following: information concerning the 

Company’s financial position and results of operations
(including, but not limited to, revenues, margins, EBITDA, net income, assets
and liabilities); annual and long-range business plans and methods; product or
service plans; technical information; inventions; marketing plans and methods,
account invoices; training, educational and administrative manuals; customer
information, including names, addresses, telephone numbers, customer requirements,
and purchase histories; “Customer Content” (as defined below); and
associate lists. Confidential Information shall not include any data or information
that has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by the Company (except where
such public disclosure has been made by or at the direction of  the Employee
without authorization), that has been independently developed and disclosed by
others, or that otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means.  “Customer
Content” shall mean any nonpublic information or content owned
by the Company’s customers and disclosed to the Company and/or Employee,
either directly or through the Company’s services, including technical data,
financial information, proprietary information, business information or information
 protected by a confidentiality agreement between the Company and its customers.

           Section 5.5.       Remedies. In the event the Employee violates or threatens to violate the provisions of this Section 5, the parties acknowledge and agree that damages at law will be an insufficient remedy and that 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. 

           Section 5.6.       Counterclaims. The existence of any claim or cause 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 5, but the failure to assert such claim or cause of action shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such claim or cause of action. 

          Section 6.           Ownership of Employee’s Work

          Section 6.1.       Company Ownership of Inventions, Patents and Copyrights. The Employee hereby assigns, releases and transfers to the Company and its nominees, successors and assigns the Employee’s
entire right, title and interest in any idea, invention, improvement, design of useful article (whether the design is ornamental or otherwise), computer program and related documentation and other work of authorship, hereafter made or conceived
solely or jointly by the Employee, or created wholly or in part by the Employee, whether or not such Inventions are patentable, copyrightable or susceptible to other forms of protection, where such Inventions (a) relate to the actual or anticipated
business or research or development of the Company, or (b) are suggested by or result from any task assigned to the Employee or work performed by the Employee for or on behalf of the Company (all hereinafter referred to as “Inventions”);
provided that the restrictions contained in this Section 6 will not apply to Inventions conceived after the termination of the Employee’s
employment unless they are conceived with the use of Confidential Information
or Trade Secrets of the Company or facilities, property or 

personnel of the Company. The Employee stipulates
    that any works of authorship prepared by or at the direction of the Employee
    in connection with his employment with the Company shall be deemed to be “works
    made for hire” under the United States copyright laws, and owned solely
and exclusively by the Company or its nominees, successors and assigns. 

          Section 6.2.       Notice of Inventions and Cooperation.  The Employee shall promptly disclose in writing to his supervisor any Inventions and shall execute specific assignments of title and do anything
  else reasonably necessary to enable the Company to secure, maintain or enforce patent, copyright or other forms of protection therefor in the United States and in other countries. 

          Section 7.           Company. For purposes of Sections 5 and 6, “Company” shall include the Company and its affiliated entities. 

          Section 8.          Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), would otherwise be payable or distributable under the Agreement by reason of the Employee’s separation from service, then if and to the
extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit will be delayed until the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the Employee’s
termination of service. On such date, the Company will pay or distribute to the Employee an amount equal to that which the Employee would normally have received during such six (6) month period.  Thereafter, payments and benefits will be paid or
distributed as provided in Section 4.2(d) . 

           Section 9.           Compliance With Other Agreements. The Employee represents and warrants to the Company that he is free to enter this Agreement and that the execution of this Agreement and the performance of his obligations under this
Agreement will not, as of the date of this Agreement or with the passage of time, conflict with, cause a breach of or constitute a default under any agreement to which the Employee is a party or may be bound. 

           Section 10.        Severability. Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable.  If any provision or portion of a provision is illegal or invalid, then the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected.  Moreover, any
provision of this Agreement which is determined to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy will be modified as necessary so that it is not unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy. 

           Section
11.        Waiver. A waiver by a party to
this Agreement of any breach of this Agreement by the other party will not operate
or be construed as a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the same breach
on a future occasion. No  delay or omission by either party to enforce any rights
it may have under this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver. 

          Section 12.        Amendment. This Agreement may
not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by both parties. 

          Section 13.        Headings. The various headings contained in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit or extend the scope or intent of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 

           Section 14.         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

           Section 15.        Number and Pronouns. Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or the plural will include the singular and the plural and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or
neuter gender will include the masculine, feminine and neuter genders. 

           Section 16.        Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable by either the Employee or the Company without the other party’s prior written consent; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section 16 shall preclude (i) the Employee from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefits payable hereunder upon his death, or (ii) the executors, administrators or other legal representatives of the Employee or his
estate from assigning any rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives,
administrators, executors, successors and assigns. 

           Section 17.        Arbitration.  Any dispute between the parties shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association under the rules then in effect. The parties agree that any arbitration
proceeding shall be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia and hereby consent to jurisdiction and venue there. The predominately nonprevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator(s), shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of the
predominately prevailing party in any such arbitration or resulting litigation.

           Section 18.        Entire Agreement. With respect to its subject matter, this Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties superseding all prior agreements (including without limitation, any Nondisclosure,
Nonsolicitation & Inventions Agreement), understandings, negotiations and discussions between them, whether written or oral, and there are no other understandings, representations, warranties or commitments with respect thereto except as
embodied herein. 

           Section
19.         Governing Law. This Agreement
shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws
of the State of Georgia without reference to conflicts of law. 

          Section

           THIS FIRST AMENDMENT to

Amendment”) is made and entered into by and between PREMIERE GLOBAL SERVICES, INC., a
Georgia corporation (the “Company”), and BOLAND

“Executive”), dated as of September 15, 2006.

BACKGROUND STATEMENT: 

          WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement on April 18, 2005, to be
effective as of January 1, 2005 (“the “Original Agreement”); and 

          WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend the Original Agreement as set forth herein; 

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive hereby amend the Original Agreement as follows: 

          1.           The following language is hereby added as the second sentence to Section 2.5. “Severance Pay” to
the Original Agreement: 

  
    Any non-renewal of the term of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 4 hereof, in contemplation of, or within the twenty-four (24) month period following, a Change in Control shall be deemed to constitute a
    termination by the Company without Cause as of the expiration of the then-current term of this Agreement. 

          2.           Section 7. “Section 409A Compliance” to the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

          Section 7.           Section 409A Compliance.  

             Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, would
    otherwise be payable or distributable under the Agreement by reason of the Executive’s separation from service, then if and to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit will be delayed until the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the Executive’s termination of service. On such date, the Company will pay or distribute
    to the Executive an amount equal to that which the Executive would normally have received during such six (6) month period.  Thereafter, payments and benefits will be paid or distributed as provided in the Original Agreement. 

          3.           Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions of the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this First Amendment on the date hereof.
