         2.       Registration Rights.
                  --------------------

                  (a)      Piggyback Registration Rights.

                  The Company shall advise the Holder by written notice at least
ten (10) calendar days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement under the
Securities Act (excluding registration on Forms S-8, S-4, or any successor forms
thereto),  covering securities of the Company to be offered and sold (whether by
the  Company or any  stockholder  thereof)  and shall,  upon the  request of the

                                       2
<PAGE>

Holder  given at  least  five  calendar  (5) days  prior to the  filing  of such
Registration  Statement,   include  in  any  such  Registration  Statement  such
information  as may  be  required  to  permit  the  public  distribution  of the
Restricted Stock. The Holder shall furnish such information as may be reasonably
requested  by the  Company  in order to  include  such  Restricted  Stock in the
Registration  Statement.  In the event that any  registration  pursuant  to this
Section 2 shall be, in whole or in part,  an  underwritten  public  offering  of
Common Stock on behalf of the Company, and the managing  underwriters advise the
Company in writing that in their opinion the number of  securities  requested to
be included  in such  registration  exceeds  the number  which can be sold in an
orderly manner in such offering within a price range  acceptable to the Company,
the Company shall include in such  registration  (i) first,  the  securities the
Company  proposes to sell, and (ii) second,  the Restricted  Stock and any other
securities  eligible and  requested to be included in such  registration  to the
extent  that the number of shares to be  registered  will not, in the opinion of
the  managing  underwriters,  adversely  affect the  offering of the  securities
pursuant to clause (i), pro rata among the holders of such securities, including
the  Holder  of the  Restricted  Stock,  on the  basis of the  number  of shares
eligible for registration  which are owned by all such holders.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  the Company may withdraw any registration  statement referred to
in this  Section 2 without  thereby  incurring  liability  to the holders of the
Restricted Stock.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary contained
herein,  the  Company's  obligation  in Section 2(a) and 2(b) above shall extend
only to the inclusion of the Restricted Stock in a Registration  Statement filed
under the  Securities  Act. The Company  shall have no  obligation to assure the
terms and conditions of distribution, to obtain a commitment from an underwriter
relative  to the  sale  of the  Restricted  Stock  or to  otherwise  assume  any
responsibility  for the  manner,  price  or  terms  of the  distribution  of the
Restricted Stock. Furthermore, the Company shall not be restricted in any manner
from including within the Registration  Statement the distribution,  issuance or
resale of any of its or any other securities.

                  (c)      The  registration  rights above are  conditioned upon
the Holder timely furnishing such information as may be reasonably  requested by
the  Company  in order to  include  such  Restricted  Stock in the  Registration
Statement.

         3.       Registration Procedures.  Whenever it is obligated to register
                  ------------------------
 any Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall:

                  (a)      prepare  and  file  with  the  SEC   a   Registration
Statement  with  respect  to the  Restricted  Stock in the  manner  set forth at
Sections  2(a)  or  2(b)  hereof  and  use  reasonable  efforts  to  cause  such
Registration Statement to remain effective for that period identified in Section
3(g) hereafter;

                  (b)      prepare and file with  the SEC  such  amendments  and
supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration  Statement effective for
the period  specified in Section 3(g) below and to comply with the provisions of
the  Securities  Act with respect to the  disposition  of all  Restricted  Stock
covered by such  Registration  Statement in accordance with the Holders intended
method of disposition set forth in such Registration Statement for such period;

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (c)      furnish  to  the  Holder  and  to  each  underwriter,
if any, such number of copies of the  Registration  Statement and the prospectus
included  therein  (including each preliminary  prospectus),  as such person may
reasonably  request in order to facilitate the public sale or other  disposition
of the Restricted Stock covered by such Registration Statement;

                  (d)      use reasonable efforts  to register  or  qualify  the
Restricted Stock covered by such Registration  Statement under the securities or
blue  sky  laws of such  jurisdictions  as the  Holder,  or,  in the  case of an
underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall reasonably request;
provided,  however,  that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required
to qualify  generally  to  transact  business  as a foreign  corporation  in any
jurisdiction  where it is not so qualified  or to consent to general  service of
process in any such jurisdiction;

                  (e)      promptly notify the Holder under  such   Registration
Statement and each underwriter,  at any time when a prospectus  relating thereto
is required to be delivered  under the  Securities  Act, of the happening of any
event as a  result  of  which  the  prospectus  contained  in such  Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact  required or necessary to be stated  therein in
order to make the  statements  contained  therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made;

                  (f)      make available for  inspection  by  any   underwriter
participating  in an underwritten  disposition on behalf of any Holder,  and any
attorney,  accountant or other agent retained by such underwriter, all financial
and other records,  pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company,
and cause  the  Company's  officers,  directors  and  employees  to  supply  all
information  reasonably  requested by the underwriter,  attorney,  accountant or
agent in connection with such Registration Statement;

                  (g)      for  purposes  of Sections  3(a) and 3(b) above,  the
period of distribution  of Restricted  Stock shall be deemed to extend until the
earlier of: (A) in an  underwritten  public  offering  of all of the  Restricted
Stock,  the period in which each  underwriter has completed the  distribution of
all securities  purchased by it; (B) in any other  registration,  the earlier of
the period in which all shares of Restricted  Stock  covered  thereby shall have
been sold or eighteen (18) months from the date of Closing;

                  (h)      if the Common Stock of the Company is  listed  on any
securities  exchange  or  automated  quotation  system,  the  Company  shall use
reasonable efforts to list (with the listing  application being made at the time
of the  filing  of  such  Registration  Statement  or as soon  thereafter  as is
reasonably  practicable)  the  Restricted  Stock  covered  by such  Registration
Statement on such exchange or automated quotation system;

                  (i)      enter  into   normal   and   customary   underwriting
arrangements  or an  underwriting  agreement and take all other  reasonable  and
customary actions if the Holder sells its shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to
an underwriting (however, in no event shall the Company, in connection with such
underwriting,  be required to undertake  any special audit of a fiscal period in
which an audit is normally not required);

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (j)      notify  the  Holder  if there are any  amendments  to
the Registration  Statement,  any requests by the SEC to supplement or amend the
Registration  Statement,  or of any  threat  by  the  SEC  or  state  securities
commission   to  undertake  a  stop  order  with  respect  to  sales  under  the
Registration Statement; and

                  (k)      cooperate  in  the  timely removal of any restrictive
legends from the shares of  Restricted  Stock in  connection  with the resale of
such shares covered by an effective Registration Statement.

         4.       Expenses.
                  ---------

                  (a)      For  the  purposes  of  this  Section  4,  the   term
"Registration  Expenses"  shall mean:  all  expenses  incurred by the Company in
complying  with  Sections  2  and  3  of  this  Agreement,   including,  without
limitation,  all  registration  and filing  fees,  printing  expenses,  fees and
disbursements  of counsel and  independent  public  accountants for the Company,
"blue sky" fees, fees of the National  Association of Securities  Dealers,  Inc.
("NASD"),  fees and  expenses  of  listing  shares  of  Restricted  Stock on any
securities  exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company's shares
are  listed  and fees of  transfer  agents  and  registrars.  The term  "Selling
Expenses"  shall  mean:  all  underwriting  discounts  and  selling  commissions
applicable   to  the  sale  of   Restricted   Stock  and  all   accountable   or
non-accountable  expenses  paid to any  underwriter  in  respect  of the sale of
Restricted Stock.

                  (b)      Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company will
pay all  Registration  Expenses in connection with the  Registration  Statements
filed  pursuant  to  Section  2 of  this  Agreement.  All  Selling  Expenses  in
connection with any Registration  Statements filed pursuant to Section 2 of this
Agreement  shall,  in the  case of an  underwritten  offering,  be  borne by the
participating Holders in proportion to the number of shares sold by each, or, in
all other instances, shall be borne by the Holder incurring such expenses.

         5.       Obligations of Holder.
                  ----------------------

                  (a)      In  connection  with   each  registration  hereunder,
each selling Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information with
respect to such seller and the securities held by such seller,  and the proposed
distribution  by him or them as shall be reasonably  requested by the Company in
order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws, as
a  condition  precedent  to  including  such  seller's  Restricted  Stock in the
Registration Statement.  Each selling Holder also shall agree to promptly notify
the Company of any  changes in such  information  included  in the  Registration
Statement  or  prospectus  as a result of which there is an untrue  statement of
material fact or an omission to state any material fact required or necessary to
be  stated  therein  in order  to make  the  statements  contained  therein  not
misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

                  (b)      In  connection  with each  registration  pursuant  to
this  Agreement,  the Holder whose  shares are included  therein will not effect
sales  thereof  until  notified  by  the  Company  of the  effectiveness  of the
Registration Statement,  and thereafter will suspend such sales after receipt of
telegraphic,  facsimile or written  notice from the Company to suspend  sales to
permit the Company to correct or update a Registration  Statement or prospectus.

                                       5
<PAGE>

At the end of any  period  during  which  the  Company  is  obligated  to keep a
Registration  Statement  current,  the  Holder  included  in  said  Registration
Statement  shall  discontinue  sales of  shares  pursuant  to such  Registration
Statement  upon  receipt of notice from the Company of its  intention  to remove
from registration the shares covered by such Registration Statement which remain
unsold,  and such  Holder  shall  notify  the  Company  of the  number of shares
registered which remain unsold  immediately upon receipt of such notice from the
Company.

         6.       Information Blackout.
                  ---------------------

                  At any time when a Registration Statement effected pursuant to
Section 2 relating to Restricted  Stock is effective,  upon written  notice from
the Company to the Holder that the  Company  has  determined  in good faith that
sale of Restricted  Stock pursuant to the  Registration  Statement would require
disclosure of non-public material information, the Holder shall suspend sales of
Restricted Stock pursuant to such Registration  Statement until such time as the
Company notifies the Holder that such material information has been disclosed to
the  public  or has  ceased  to be  material  or  that  sales  pursuant  to such
Registration Statement may otherwise be resumed.

         7.       Indemnification.
                  ----------------

                  (a)      The  Company  agrees  to  indemnify,   to  the extent
permitted by law,  each Holder of Restricted  Stock,  its officers and directors
and each Person who controls such Holder  (within the meaning of the  Securities
Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any
untrue  statement  of material  fact  contained in any  Registration  Statement,
prospectus or  preliminary  prospectus  or any  amendment  thereof or supplement
thereto or any  omission of a material  fact  required  to be stated  therein or
necessary to make the statements  therein not misleading,  except insofar as the
same are caused by or contained in any  information  furnished to the Company by
such Holder for use therein or by such Holder's failure to deliver a copy of the
Registration  Statement or prospectus or any amendments or  supplements  thereto
after the Company has furnished  such Holder with a sufficient  number of copies
of the same.

                  (b)      In connection  with  any  Registration  Statement  in
which a Holder of  Restricted  Stock is  participating,  each such Holder  shall
furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company
reasonably  requests for use in connection with any such Registration  Statement
or prospectus and, to the extent  permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company,
its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company  (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages,  liabilities
and  expenses  resulting  from:  (i) any untrue or alleged  untrue  statement of
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus  or any amendment  thereof or  supplement  thereto or any omission or
alleged  omission of a material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, (but only to the extent that such
untrue  statement or omission is contained  in any  information  or affidavit so
furnished by such Holder);  or (ii) any disposition of the Restricted Stock in a
manner  that  fails  to  comply  with  the  permitted  methods  of  distribution
identified  within the Registration  Statement;  provided that the obligation to
indemnify  (if there shall be more than one  Holder)  shall be  individual,  not
joint and  several,  for each  Holder  and shall be limited to the net amount of
proceeds  received by such Holder from the sale of Restricted  Stock pursuant to
such Registration Statement.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  (c)      Any  Person  entitled  to  indemnification  hereunder
shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with
respect to which it seeks  indemnification  (provided  that the  failure to give
prompt notice shall not impair any Person's right to  indemnification  hereunder
to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the  indemnifying  party) and (ii)
unless in such indemnified  party's  reasonable  judgment a conflict of interest
between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such
claim,  permit such indemnifying  party to assume the defense of such claim with
counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to the  indemnified  party. If such defense is
assumed,  the  indemnifying  party shall not be subject to any liability for any
settlement made by the  indemnified  party without its consent (but such consent
shall not be unreasonably  withheld).  An indemnifying party who is not entitled
to, or elects not to,  assume the defense of a claim shall not be  obligated  to
pay the fees and  expenses of more than one counsel for all parties  indemnified
by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim,  unless in the reasonable
judgment of any indemnified  party a conflict of interest may exist between such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim.

                  (d)      The indemnification provided for under this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of the  indemnified  party or any  officer,  director  or  controlling
Person of such  indemnified  party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
The Company also agrees to make such provisions,  as are reasonably requested by
any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company's
indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

         8.       Miscellaneous Provisions.

5.       Termination.
         ------------

         (a)      Termination by Company for "Cause".  In addition  to any other
                  -----------------------------------
remedies which the Company may have at law, in equity, or otherwise, if Employee
engages in (i) fraud, (ii)  embezzlement,  (iii) any other crime involving moral
turpitude,  (iv) gross or willful neglect of duty, (v) material breach of any of
the  provisions  of  this  Agreement,  on his  part to be  performed  (including
material breach of the  representations and warranties of Section 16), (vi) such
conduct  as  results  or as is  reasonably  likely  to  result  in damage to the
reputation  of the Company,  or any of the  subsidiaries  or  affiliates  of the
Company,  (vii) the  theft,  misuse,  or  wrongful  disclosure  of  confidential
customer information (including, without limitation, bank account or credit card
numbers);  or (viii) if Employee declines to follow any significant  instruction
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company or given by the Company's Chief
Executive  Officer or  President  in writing,  and  communicated  to Employee in
writing, the Company may at any time thereafter terminate Employee's  employment
hereunder by written notice to him,  effective  immediately  and the date of the
notice shall be the termination date. Any such termination shall be deemed to be
termination for "cause",  for purposes of this Agreement,  the Escrow Agreement,
and all other documents referencing a for "cause" termination in this Agreement.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing,  in the event that the basis for the for
"cause"  termination is the reason set forth in subsection  (iv), (v), or (viii)
above,  then prior to the  termination,  Employee  shall first be given  written
notice of the facts or circumstances  constituting the  determination of "cause"
and up to fifteen (15) calendar  days to cure,  rectify or reverse such facts or
circumstances.  If,  in the  sole  discretion  of the  Board of  Directors,  the
presence of the Employee in the Company's  offices during this cure period would
be disruptive to the Company's  operations or the operations of its subsidiaries
or would potentially  result in the  misappropriation  or misuse of Confidential
Information  (as defined  below),  then the opportunity to cure shall take place
outside of the Company's offices.  If the Employee is permitted in the Company's
offices  during  the  cure  period  and  the  Employee  disrupts  the  Company's
operations or the operations of its subsidiaries or  misappropriates  or misuses
of Confidential  Information then the cure period shall  immediately end and the

                                       3
<PAGE>

Company may at any time thereafter terminate Employee's  employment hereunder by
written notice to him, effective immediately and the date of the notice shall be
the termination date.

         Upon  the  early  termination  of  Employee's   employment  under  this
Agreement by the Company for "cause," the Company shall pay to Employee:  (i) an
amount equal to Employee 's Base Salary  accrued  through the effective  date of
termination  at the rate in effect at the time of  termination,  payable  at the
time such payment is due; and (ii) any expense  reimbursement amounts accrued to
the effective date of termination, payable on the effective date of termination.
Upon payment of such amounts,  the Company  shall have no further  obligation to
Employee under this  Agreement,  and Employee shall have no further rights under
this Agreement.  Upon the early termination of Employee 's employment under this
Agreement by the Company for "cause," a percentage  of the Shares  issued in the
name of the Employee in connection with the Merger (the "Employee Shares") shall
be forfeited and  surrendered  to VDC for  cancellation  as set forth in Section
5(e).

         (b)      Termination  by  Company  without  "Cause".   At any time, the
                  -------------------------------------------
Company may terminate  this Agreement for any reason or no reason other than for
"cause" upon five (5) calendar  days written  notice to the  Employee.  Upon the
early  termination  of the Employee 's  employment  under this  Agreement by the
Company  "without  cause," the Company shall pay to the Employee : (i) an amount
equal to the  Employee 's Base Salary  accrued  through  the  effective  date of
termination  at the rate in effect at the time of  termination,  payable  at the
time such payment is due; and (ii) any expense  reimbursement amounts accrued to
the effective date of termination, payable on the effective date of termination.
Upon payment of such amounts,  the Company  shall have no further  obligation to
Employee under this  Agreement,  and Employee shall have no further rights under
this Agreement.

         (c)      Death of Employee.    This  Agreement   shall    automatically
                  ------------------
terminate  upon  the  death of  Employee.  Upon the  early  termination  of this
Agreement as a result of death, the Company shall pay the Employee's estate: (i)
an amount equal to the  Employee 's Base Salary  accrued  through the  effective
date of termination at the rate in effect at the effective date of  termination,
payable at the time such  payment  is due;  and (ii) any  expense  reimbursement
amounts accrued to the effective date of  termination,  payable on the effective
date of  termination.  Upon payment of such  amounts,  the Company shall have no
further obligation to Employee under this Agreement,  and Employee shall have no
further rights under this Agreement.

         (d)      Termination by Employee.   At any time  after  the  six  month
                  ------------------------
anniversary  of the date of this  Agreement,  the  Employee may  terminate  this
Agreement by giving at least thirty (30) calendar  days' prior written notice to
the Company.  Upon the early  termination  of Employee 's employment  under this
Agreement by the Employee pursuant to this Section, a percentage of the Employee
Shares shall be forfeited and  surrendered to VDC for  cancellation as set forth
in Section 5(e).

         (e)      Forfeiture of Shares.  IF  THE  EMPLOYEE  IS   TERMINATED  FOR
                  ---------------------
"CAUSE"  (PURSUANT  TO SECTION  5(A).),  RESIGNS  FROM  EMPLOYMENT  (PURSUANT TO
SECTION  5(D)),  OR BREACHES A MATERIAL TERM OF THIS  AGREEMENT  (ANY SUCH EVENT
CONSTITUTING  A "DEFAULT  EVENT"),  THEN THE  EMPLOYEE  SHALL  FORFEIT (AND SAID

                                       4
<PAGE>

SHARES  SHALL  BE  SURRENDERED  TO VDC FOR  CANCELLATION)  A  PERCENTAGE  OF THE
EMPLOYEE SHARES AS FOLLOWS: (A) 50% IF THE DEFAULT EVENT OCCURS WITHIN THE FIRST

OCCURS WITHIN THE SECOND ONE YEAR PERIOD  FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE  TIME; AND (C)
20% IF THE DEFAULT EVENT OCCURS  WITHIN THE THIRD ONE YEAR PERIOD  FOLLOWING THE
EFFECTIVE TIME. TO THE EXTENT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH EMPLOYEE SHARES BEING HELD IN
ESCROW PURSUANT TO THE ESCROW  AGREEMENT TO COVER THE FORFEITURES  ABOVE,  THEN,
WITHIN FIVE (5) CALENDAR DAYS OF RECEIVING NOTICE OF THIS FACT FROM THE COMPANY,
THE EMPLOYEE  SHALL DELIVER  ADDITIONAL  VDC SHARES TO VDC FOR  CANCELLATION  TO
COVER ANY SUCH DEFICIENCY.  FOR PURPOSES OF THE PERCENTAGE  CALCULATIONS  ABOVE,
ALL FRACTIONS SHALL BE ROUNDED UP. THE EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE
FORFEITURE OF SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION IS IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER
REMEDIES WHICH THE COMPANY MAY HAVE AT LAW, IN EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE.

6.       Covenant Not to Compete.
         ------------------------

         (a)      The  Employee   recognizes  and  acknowledges:  (i)  that  the
execution of this Agreement containing the following Covenant Not to Compete was
a condition  precedent  to the  closing of the Merger and the Company  would not
have  consummated  said Merger  without  the same;  and (ii) that the Company is
placing its  confidence  and trust in the  Employee.  The Employee ,  therefore,
covenants and agrees that during the Applicable  Non-Compete  Period (as defined
below), the Employee shall not, either directly or indirectly, without the prior
written  consent  of the  Board  of  Directors:  (i)  engage  in or carry on any

Company (as such term is used and defined below); (ii) be or become an employee,
agent,  consultant,  representative,  director or officer of any  person,  firm,

any  business  which is similar to or in  competition  with the  Business of the
Company;  (iii)  solicit  for  employment  or employ any person  employed by the
Company (or its subsidiaries) at any time during the 12-month period immediately
preceding such  solicitation or employment;  or (iv) be or become a shareholder,
joint venturer, owner (in whole or in part), partner, or be or become associated
with  or  have  any  proprietary  or  financial  interest  in  or of  any  firm,
corporation,  association  or other entity which is engaged in or is carrying on
any  business  which is similar to or in  competition  with the  Business of the
Company.  Notwithstanding  the preceding sentence above, the following shall not
be deemed to violate this Section 6:

                           (i)      passive  equity  investments by Employee  of
$10,000 or less in any entity or affiliated group of any entity which is engaged
in or is carrying on any business which is similar to or in competition with the
Business of the Company;

                           (ii)     passive  equity  investments  by Employee in
excess of  $25,000  in any entity or  affiliated  group of any  entity  which is
engaged in or is carrying on any business  which is similar to or in competition
with  the  Business  of the  Company,  so long as and  only to the  extent  that
Employee  has  obtained  the prior  written  consent of the Company to make such
investments; or

                                       5
<PAGE>

                           (iii) an equity investment by Employee of up to 1% in
any publicly  traded  company which is engaged in or is carrying on any business
which is similar to or in competition with the Business of the Company.

         (b)      As  used in this Agreement, the term "Business of the Company"
shall  include all  material  business  activities  in which the Company and its
subsidiaries   are  engaged  now  which   includes,   but  is  not  limited  to,

telecommunications services.

         (c)      Employee hereby recognizes and acknowledges  that the existing
Business of the  Company  extends  throughout  the United  States and  therefore
agrees that the  covenants  not to compete  contained in this Section 6 shall be
applicable in and  throughout  the United  States,  as well as  throughout  such
additional  areas,  states  or  countries  in which the  Company  may be (or has
prepared  written plans to be) doing  business as of the date of  termination of
the Employee 's employment  hereunder.  Employee further warrants and represents
that,  because of his varied  skill and  abilities,  he does not need to compete
with the  Business of the Company and that this  Agreement  will not prevent him
from earning a livelihood and acknowledges  that the  restrictions  contained in
this Section 6 constitute reasonable protections for the Company.

         (d)      As  used in this Section 6,  "Applicable  Non-Compete  Period"
shall mean all periods of employment  hereunder and that period of two (2) years
following the termination of Employee 's employment hereunder.

7.       Trade  Secrets  and  Confidential   Information.   Employee  recognizes
         ------------------------------------------------
and  acknowledges  that  certain  information  including,   without  limitation,
information  pertaining to the financial condition of the Company,  its systems,
methods of doing  business,  agreements  with  customers  or  suppliers or other
aspects of the Business of the Company or which is sufficiently secret to derive
economic  value  from not being  disclosed  or  customer  confidential  personal
information  (including,  without  limitation,  credit card and banking  account
data) ("Confidential  Information") may be made available or otherwise come into
the  possession  of the Employee by reason of his  employment  with the Company.
Accordingly,  the  Employee  agrees  that he will not at any time  disclose  any
Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation,  association or other
entity  for  any  reason  or  purpose  whatsoever  or make  use to his  personal
advantage  or  to  the  advantage  of  any  third  party,  of  any  Confidential
Information,  without the prior written  consent of the Board of Directors.  The
Employee  shall,  upon  termination  of  employment,  return to the  Company all
documents which reflect  Confidential  Information  (including  copies thereof).
Notwithstanding  anything  heretofore  stated in this Section 7, the Employee 's
obligations under this Section 7 shall not, after termination of the Employee 's
employment  with the Company,  apply to information  which has become  generally
available to the public  without any action or omission of the Employee  (except
that any  Confidential  Information  which is disclosed to any third party by an
employee or  representative  of the Company who is not  authorized  to make such
disclosure  shall be  deemed  to  remain  confidential  and  protectable  by the
Employee under this Section 7).

8.       Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability  of any  term of this
         -------------
Agreement shall not affect the validity or  enforceability  of this Agreement or
any of its other  terms;  in the event that any court or  arbitrator  determines
that the time period and/or scope of any paragraph or section of this  Agreement

                                       6
<PAGE>

is  unenforceably  long or broad,  as the case may be, then,  and in either such
event,  neither the enforceability nor the validity of said paragraph or section
as a whole or the Agreement as a whole shall be affected.  Rather,  the scope of
the section shall be revised by the court or arbitrator as little as possible to
make the section  enforceable.  If the court or arbitrator  will not revise said
paragraph  or section,  then this  Agreement  shall be  construed  as though the
invalid or unenforceable term(s) were not included herein.

9.       Breach.  The  Employee  hereby   recognizes   and   acknowledges   that
         -------
irreparable  injury or damage  shall  result  to the  Company  in the event of a
breach or  threatened  breach by the Employee of any of the terms of  provisions
Section 6 or 7  hereunder,  and the Employee  therefore  agrees that the Company
shall be entitled to an injunction  (without posting bond) restraining  Employee
from engaging in any activity  constituting  such breach or  threatened  breach.
Nothing  contained  herein shall be construed  as  prohibiting  the Company from
pursuing  any other  remedies  available  to the Company at law,  in equity,  or
otherwise for breach or threatened  breach of this Agreement,  including but not
limited to, the recovery of damages from the Employee and, if the Employee is an

accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

                  -------------------------
and binding on the parties and subject to only very  limited  review by a court;
(ii) the parties are waiving their right to litigate in court,  including  their
right to a jury trial; (iii) pre-arbitration discovery is generally more limited
and  different  from court  proceedings;  (iv) any party's right to appeal or to
seek modification of rulings by arbitrators is strictly limited; and (v) a panel
of arbitrators  might include an arbitrator  who is or was  affiliated  with the
telecommunications industry.

         (b)      Arbitration.   All  controversies  or claims arising out of or
                  ------------
relating to this  Agreement,  or arising  out of or  relating to the  employment
contemplated herein, or the termination thereof,  shall be determined by binding
arbitration  applying  the laws of the State of New  Jersey and the rules of the
American Arbitration Association applicable to the Commercial Panel, except that
there shall only be one (1) arbitrator.  The  arbitration  shall be conducted at
Acquiror's  offices  in  Greenwich,  Connecticut,  or  at  such  other  location
designated  by  Acquiror.  The  decision  of the  arbitrator  shall be final and
binding upon the parties,  shall include  written  findings of law and fact, and
judgment may be obtained  thereon in any court of competent  jurisdiction.  Each
party shall bear the cost of preparing  and  presenting  its own case (except as
provided for in Section 4 of the Escrow Agreement). The cost of the arbitration,
including the fees and expenses of the  arbitrator,  shall be shared  equally by
the parties thereto unless the award otherwise  provides (except as provided for
in Section 4 of the Escrow  Agreement).  Nothing  herein shall  preclude a party
from seeking  injunctive  relief to restrain any breach or threatened  breach of
the covenants and  agreements set forth in this Agreement or otherwise to obtain
specific performance of any such covenant or agreement, without the necessity of
posting bond or security in connection therewith.

11.      Remedies Cumulative.  Except  as  otherwise  expressly provided herein,
         --------------------
each of the rights and remedies of the parties set forth in this Agreement shall

                                       7
<PAGE>

be  cumulative  with all other  such  rights and  remedies,  as well as with all
rights and remedies of the parties otherwise available at law or in equity.

12.      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple  counterparts
         -------------
each of which shall be an original but all of which  together  shall  constitute
one and the same  instrument.  This Agreement may also be executed and delivered
by exchange of facsimile copies showing the signatures of the parties, and those
signatures  need not be affixed to the same copy.  The facsimile  copies showing
the signatures of the parties will  constitute  originally  signed copies of the
Agreement requiring no further execution.

13.      Waiver.  The failure of either party at any  time or  times to  require
         -------
performance  of any  provision  hereof shall in no manner  affect the right at a
later time to enforce the same. To be effective, any waiver must be contained in
a written  instrument signed by the party waiving  compliance by the other party
of the term or covenant as  specified.  The waiver by either party of the breach
of any term or covenant  contained herein,  whether by conduct or otherwise,  in
any one or more instances, shall not be deemed to be, or construed as, a further
or continuing  waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other
term or covenant contained in this Agreement.

14.      Governing Law.  This  Agreement  shall  be  governed by the laws of the
         --------------
State of New Jersey without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

15.      Complete  Agreement.  This  Agreement  constitutes  the  complete   and
         --------------------
exclusive  agreement  between the parties hereto which supersedes all proposals,
oral and written, and all other  communications  between the parties relating to
the subject  matter  contained  herein.  Without  limiting  the  foregoing,  the
Agreement  supersedes  and renders null and void any  employment  or  consulting
agreement the Employee had with Rare  Telephony or its  subsidiaries  (or all of
their  predecessors) prior to the Merger.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  this
Agreement shall not supersede the Merger  Agreement or the Schedules or Exhibits
thereto or the Escrow  Agreement.  No change or  modification  of this Agreement
shall be valid or  binding  unless  the same is in  writing  and  signed  by the
parties hereto.

16.      Warranties.  The  Employee  represents,  warrants, covenants and agrees
         -----------
that:

         (a)      The Employee has a right to enter into this Agreement, that he

Agreement  and  that  he  will  not use in the  performance  of his  obligations
hereunder  any  proprietary  information  of any other party which he is legally
prohibited from using; and

         (b)      The  Employee  has  had  an  opportunity  to  consult  with an
attorney,  and such  other  experts or  consultants  as he deemed  necessary  or
prudent, regarding this Agreement and the Employee has read and understands this
Agreement.

Each representation and warranty of Employee shall survive the execution of this
Agreement and shall continue  throughout the Employment Period. The right to any
remedy based on such  representations and warranties will not be affected by any
investigation  conducted with respect to, or any knowledge  acquired (or capable

                                       8
<PAGE>

of being  acquired)  at any time,  whether  before or after  the  execution  and
delivery of this  Agreement,  with respect to the accuracy or  inaccuracy  of or
compliance with, any such representation or warranty.

17.      Notice.   All notices, requests,   instructions,   consents  and  other

shall be deemed received (i) on the same day if delivered in person, by same-day
courier or by telegraph,  telex or facsimile  transmission  (receipt  confirmed)

the next business day if received after 5:00 p.m. Eastern  Standard Time),  (ii)
on the next day if delivered by overnight mail or courier,  or (iii) on the date
indicated on the return  receipt,  or if there is no such receipt,  on the third
calendar day (excluding  Sundays) if delivered by certified or registered  mail,
postage  prepaid.  If notice is being  given under both this  Agreement  and the
Escrow  Agreement to the Employee,  then notice may be given to the Employee for
purposes of both such  agreements  at the address  given for the Employee in the
Escrow Agreement.

18.      Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
         -----------
upon the Company, its successors and assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned
by the Employee without the prior written consent of the Company. This Agreement

Employee shall be deemed a consent to such assignment.

19.      Material Provisions; Survival of Certain Terms.  The following sections
         -----------------------------------------------
(including all subsections thereto) of the Agreement,  without limitation, shall
be deemed  material:  Section 1,  Section 5,  Section 6,  Section 7, Section 10,
Section 14, and Section 21. The terms and provisions contained in this Agreement
that by their sense and context are intended to survive the  termination of this
Agreement shall so survive the termination of this Agreement; including, without
limitation, Section 5, Section 6, Section 7, Section 10, Section 14, and Section
21.

20.      Payment Offsets.   The  Company  shall  be  entitled to deduct from any

payment due to Employee under this Agreement any payments or amounts owed to the
Company or any of its affiliates from the Employee.

         ----------
request from the Board of  Directors,  the Employee  shall  provide the Board of
Directors  with a  statement  (sworn  before a Notary  Public and signed by said
Notary Public) that, as of the date of said statement, the Employee has complied
with all material terms of this  Agreement.  This provision shall expire two (2)
years following the termination of this Agreement.

         -------------------------------
interpretation  against the drafting party shall apply to the  interpretation of

Agreement  conflict,  the terms of this  Agreement  shall  govern.  Whenever the
context  of  this   Agreement   may  require,   any  pronoun  will  include  the
corresponding  masculine,  feminine  and neuter form,  and the singular  form of
nouns and pronouns will include the plural.

23.      Recitals.   The  recitals  to  this  Agreement  constitute part of this
