 Exhibit 10.2 

NONDISCLOSURE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION AGREEMENT 

This Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of September 28, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and
between Voltari Operating Corp. a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 601 West 26th Street, Suite 415, New York, NY 10001 (“Company”) and the undersigned employee or prospective employee of Company
(“Employee”). Company and Employee are each sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” 

In consideration of the employment of the Employee by the Company, the disclosure of Confidential Information to Employee by the Company, and
of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

1. “Confidential Information” means any and all tangible and intangible information (whether written or otherwise recorded or oral)
of the Company that (a) derives independent 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 is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy; or (b) that the Company designates as confidential or that, given the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure,
reasonably should be considered as confidential. Confidential Information includes, without limitation (i) nonpublic information relating to the Company’s technology, customers, business plans, promotional and marketing activities,
finances and other business affairs, and (ii) third- party information that the Company is obligated to keep confidential. Confidential Information also includes any of the above mentioned items that are developed or created by Employee during
his/her employment with Company, and all Company Intellectual Property. 
 2. Notwithstanding the above, the term “Confidential
Information” shall not include any information that is either: 
 (a) readily discernible from publicly-available products or
literature; or 
 (b) approved for disclosure by prior written permission of an executive officer of Company. 

3. All Confidential Information furnished to Employee will be used solely in connection with performing Employee’s duties to the Company,
will not be discussed with other persons without Company’s express written authorization, will not be used in any way directly or indirectly except in furtherance of the Company’s business, and will be kept confidential by Employee. 

4. Employee may disclose Confidential Information as required to comply with binding orders of governmental entities that have jurisdiction
over it or as otherwise required by law, provided that Employee (i) gives the Company reasonable written notice to allow the Company to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (except to the extent Employee’s compliance with
the foregoing would cause it to violate a court order or other legal requirement), (ii) discloses only such information as is required by the governmental entity or otherwise required by law, and (iii) and best efforts to obtain
confidential treatment for any Confidential Information so disclosed. Nothing in this policy prohibits Employee from reporting any possible violations of federal law or regulation to any government agency or entity, including but not limited to the
Department 

 
of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, or making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Employee is not required
to notify the Company that he/she will make or have made such reports or disclosure(s). 
 5. If Company so requests at any time, Employee
will return promptly to Company all copies, extracts, or other reproductions in whole or in part of the Confidential Information in the possession of Employee. All Documents (defined to include not only paper documents but also data stored in
computer memory, or on microfilm, microfiche, magnetic tape, disk or other medium, e-mails and any soft documents) that Employee prepares in connection with his/her duties as an employee of the Company, and all Confidential Information that may be
given to him/her in the course of his/her employment, are and shall remain the sole property of the Company. Except as necessary in the performance of Employee’s duties, all Documents (including copies of Documents) containing Confidential
Information shall be and remain in the Company’s sole possession on the Company’s premises and shall not be copied or removed from the Company’s premises. Upon termination of his/her employment with the Company, Employee shall return
to the Company all Documents, including all copies thereof, in Employee’s possession or control. 
 6. Employee understands and
acknowledges that Company is not and will not be making any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any furnished Confidential Information, and Company does not and will not have any liability to
Employee or any- other person resulting from any reliance upon or use of, or otherwise with respect to, any furnished Confidential Information. 

7. Employee shall notify Company immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information, use of Confidential
Information other than as permitted hereunder, or any other breach of this Agreement. Employee will cooperate with Company in every reasonable way to help Company regain possession of its Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized
use. 
 8. All Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of Company. Company retains all rights and remedies afforded it
under patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, and any other applicable laws of the United States and the states thereof or any applicable foreign countries, including, without limitation, any laws designed to protect proprietary or confidential
information. This Agreement does not grant to Employee any express or implied right to any of Company’s Intellectual Property. 
 9.
Intellectual Property. 
 (a) “Intellectual Property” means any invention, modification, discovery, design, development,
improvement, process, software program, work of authorship, documentation, formula, data, design, technique, know-how. trade secret, idea or other intellectual property right whatsoever or any interest therein, whether or not patentable or
registrable under copyright, trademark or similar statutes or subject to analogous protection. 
 (b) Employee agrees to promptly disclose
and describe to Company all Intellectual Property that Employee may solely or jointly conceive, create, discover, develop, or reduce to practice during the period of undersigned’s employment with Company (i) that relate at the time of
conception, development or reduction to practice to Company’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, (ii) that were developed, in whole or in part, on Company’s time or with the use of any of
Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities or Confidential Information, or (iii)

 
that result from any work Employee performed for Company (“Company Intellectual Property”). All Company Intellectual Property and the benefits thereof are the exclusive property of
Company and its assigns, as works made for hire or otherwise. Employee hereby assigns to Company all rights Employee may have or may acquire in the Company Intellectual Property without further compensation and shall communicate, without cost or
delay, and without disclosing to others the same, all available information relating thereto (with all necessary plans and models) to the Company. The Employee also waives and agrees never to assert any moral rights the Employee may have in any
Company Intellectual Property, even after termination of the Employee’s work for the Company. 
 (c) Employee recognizes that
Intellectual Property relating to his/her activities while working for Company and conceived or made by him/her, alone or with others, within one year after termination of his/her employment, may have been conceived or made in significant part while
employed by Company. Accordingly, Employee agrees that such Intellectual Property Rights shall be presumed to have been conceived during his/her employment with Company and arc to be assigned to Company as Company Intellectual Property unless and
until Employee has established the contrary. Employee agrees to disclose promptly in writing to Company all Intellectual Property made or conceived by him/her for one (1) year after his/her employment terminates, whether or not he/she believes
such Intellectual Property is subject to this Agreement, to permit a determination by Company as to whether or not the Intellectual Property should be the property of Company. Any such information will be received in confidence by Company. 

(d) Employee agrees to perform, during and after his/her employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by Company to permit and assist
it, at its expense, in perfecting and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title throughout the world in the Company Intellectual Property. Such acts may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or
cooperation in the registration and enforcement of applicable patents and copyrights or other legal proceedings. 
 (e) In the event that
Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure Employee’s signature to any lawful and necessary document required to apply for or execute any patent, copyright or other applications with respect to any Company Intellectual Property
(including improvements, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions or continuations in part thereof), Employee hereby irrevocably appoints Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as his/her agents and attorneys-in-fact to execute
and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyrights or other rights thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. 

10. Restrictive Covenants.

indirectly competitive with the business of the Company. This restriction includes, without limitation, a prohibition against Employee soliciting or attempting to solicit, directly or indirectly, any person or entity who is a customer or prospect of
the Company or provides goods or services to the Company for the purpose of inducing the person or entity to cancel, reduce, or replace services with the Company or otherwise restrict their business with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(b) Employee further covenants and agrees that, for two (2) years after the termination of his/her employment with the Company, by either
party and regardless of reason, Employee will not solicit or attempt to solicit, directly or indirectly, any person or entity who, during Employee’s employment with the Company, was a customer of the Company and with whom Employee served or had
contact relating to the Company’s operations; and/or provided goods or services to the Company upon which the Company relied in the development of its product or services and with whom Employee had contact relating to the Company’s
operation’s. Such solicitation or attempted solicitation is prohibited under this covenant if the purpose of such solicitation or attempted solicitation is for the inducement of the person or entity to cancel, reduce, or replace services
obtained through the Company or otherwise restrict their business with the Company. 

 11. Employee shall not make, use or permit to be used any Company Property otherwise than for the
benefit of the Company. The term “Company Property” shall include all notes, memoranda, reports, lists, records, drawings, sketches, specifications, software programs, software code, data, computers, cellular telephones, pagers, credit
and/or calling cards, keys, access cards, documentation or other materials of any nature and in any form, whether written, printed, electronic or in digital format or otherwise, relating to any matter within the scope of the Company’s business
or concerning any of its dealings or affairs and any other Company property in Employee’s possession, custody or control. Employee acknowledges and agrees that all Company Property shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the
Company. Immediately upon the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, or at such earlier time as the Company may request, Employee shall deliver all Company Property in Employee’s possession or control, and all copies
thereof, to the Company. 
 12. Employee represents and warrants to Company that, except as disclosed on Exhibit A attached
hereto, Employee’s employment by Company is not prohibited or restricted in any way by any noncompetition, nondisclosure or other agreement. To the extent that Employee possesses any non- public information relating to any previous employer.
Employee covenants that Employee will not (i) disclose any such information to Company or any of its employees or affiliates, or (ii) use any such information in any way in the course of Employee’s employment with Company. 

13. Employee further acknowledges that: 

(a) irreparable injury and damage will result from unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and from uses of Confidential
Information other than in pursuance of the Business Purpose; 
 (b) monetary damages may not be sufficient remedy for unauthorized
disclosure of Confidential Information; and

it at law, in equity, or by statute, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction.

loss, liability, damage or expense, including but not limited to Company’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or connected with any breach of this Agreement by Employee. 

15. The Employee understands that Company’s offer of employment is for no definite term and that the Employee’s employment is
terminable at will by the Employee or Company at any time, with or without cause. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions and obligations in this Agreement are separate from and independent of any employment agreement that may be
executed between Employee and the Company and that termination of employment shall not, under any circumstances, terminate, invalidate or limit Employee’s obligations under this Agreement. 

16. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and controlled by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its or any
other jurisdiction’s laws governing conflicts of law. 
 17. All agreements and covenants contained herein are severable, and if any of
them shall be held to be invalid by a competent court, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such invalid agreement or covenant were not contained herein. Subject to the foregoing, all terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed
enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, and, when necessary, the court is requested to reform any and all terms or conditions to give them such effect. 

18. All obligations created by this Agreement shall survive any change or termination of the Parties’ employment relationship, if one
exists or arises. 
 19. This Agreement may be assigned by Company in the event of any sale of its business as a going concern. This
Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their successors and assigns. 
 20. The provisions of this
Agreement constitute the entire Agreement between Employee and Company regarding the subject matter hereof, which Agreement cannot be varied except by writing signed by both parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company and
Employee has entered into a written employment agreement containing terms materially different from the terms hereof, the terms most favorable to the Company shall control unless the parties expressly refer to this section and specify their intent
to override it. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the day first
written above.
