the "PROPOSED SELLERS"), in each such case, to any Person or group of Persons (a
"PROPOSED PURCHASER"), after expiration of the periods in Section 7(c) and 7(d),
if applicable, the Proposed Sellers will promptly notify (i) each other Odyssey
Holder, Koch Holder, PF Telecom Holder, Finance Warrant Holder, Odyssey

such proposed sale (a "PROPOSED SALE") and the material terms of the Proposed
Sale as of the date of the Tag-Along Notice (the "MATERIAL TERMS"). The Proposed
Sellers may, for purposes of determining the recipients of the Tag-Along Notice,
rely upon a list of securityholders provided by the Company (which the Company
shall provide to any requesting securityholder promptly upon request). If within
15 days of the receipt by the Tag-Along Offerees of the Tag-Along Notice, the
Proposed Seller receives a written request (a "TAG-ALONG REQUEST") to include

Sellers are proposing to sell shares of Senior Preferred Stock) (the "TAG-ALONG
SECURITIES") held by one or more Tag-Along Offerees (including without
limitation, (i) shares of Common Stock that will be acquired upon the exercise
of any Options and (ii) shares of Common Stock that will be acquired upon the
conversion of any Convertible Securities, including, without limitation, the

by such Tag-Along Offerees shall be so included as provided herein, and the
Proposed Seller shall not be permitted to complete such Proposed Sale unless
such Tag-Along Securities are so included in such Transfer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that any Tag-Along Request shall be irrevocable unless (x) there shall be an
adverse change in the Material Terms or (y) otherwise mutually agreed to in
writing by such Tag-Along Offerees and the Proposed Seller."

     Section 2. Section 8(b) of the Stockholders Agreement is hereby replaced in
its entirety with the following:

     "(b) The number of Tag-Along Securities that each Tag-Along Offeree will be
permitted to include in a Proposed Sale pursuant to a Tag-Along Request will be
the product of (i) the number of Tag-Along Securities then held by such
Tag-Along Offeree multiplied by (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is
the number of Equivalent Shares represented by the Securities which the Proposed
Seller or Proposed Sellers propose to sell in the Proposed Sale, and (B) the
denominator of which is the number of Equivalent Shares represented by all
securities outstanding as of such date held by the Proposed Seller or Proposed
Sellers and all Tag-Along Offerees."

     Section 3. Exhibit A is hereby added to the Stockholders Agreement as
attached hereto.

     Section 4. If and when all of the outstanding Finance Warrants have been
