                      NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION AND
                            NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

                  THIS NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-DISCLOSURE
AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT"), dated January 20, 2000, by and between MJD
Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and Daniel G.
Bergstein (the "SELLING STOCKHOLDER").

                                    RECITALS

                  A. Contemporaneously herewith, the Selling Stockholder is
selling certain outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock to Thomas H.
Lee Equity Fund IV, L.P. and certain of its related parties (collectively,
"THL") pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2000, by
and among the Company, THL, Kelso Investment Associates V, L.P. ("KIA V") and
Kelso Equity Partners V, L.P. ("KEP V" and together with KIA V, "KELSO"), the
Selling Stockholder and the other parties thereto (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT").

                  B. The Selling Stockholder will receive significant
consideration as a result of THL's acquisition of his capital stock in the
Company.

                  C. The Selling Stockholder has had access to nonpublic,
confidential and proprietary information concerning the business and operations
of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Selling Stockholder is capable of
utilizing such nonpublic, confidential and proprietary information to compete
with the Company and its subsidiaries and, as a result, could cause significant
harm to the Company and its subsidiaries.

                  D. THL and Kelso are making a significant investment in the
Company and its subsidiaries and such investment is contingent upon protecting
the entire goodwill and going business value inherent in the value of the shares
which they are acquiring from the significant harm that could be caused to the
Company and its subsidiaries by such competition from the Selling Stockholder
using such nonpublic, confidential and proprietary information.

                  E. The Company and the Selling Stockholder are entering into
this Agreement for the purpose of preserving the proprietary rights, going
business value and entire goodwill of the Company and its subsidiaries by
ensuring that the Selling Stockholder does not use any of such nonpublic,
confidential and proprietary information to directly or indirectly compete with
the Company and its subsidiaries for the period hereinafter set forth, and
acknowledge that execution of this Agreement is necessary to enable THL and
Kelso to capture all of the goodwill and going business value presently inherent
in the Company's capital stock.
<PAGE>

                  F. In order to preserve the entire goodwill and going business
value of the Company, this Agreement must protect the Company from such
competition in all jurisdictions in which the Company currently does business or
plans to do business, which are those cities with populations of less than
250,000 in the states of Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire,
New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia.

                                    AGREEMENT

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Selling Stockholder hereby covenant and
agree as follows:

less than 15% of its total revenue in the Lines of Business in the Restricted
Territories.

                  3. NON-SOLICITATION. During the Restricted Period, the Selling
Stockholder and its affiliates shall not directly or indirectly, either

of business with the Company and its subsidiaries ; (iii) except for

or attempt to influence any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
to terminate his or her employment.

                  4. NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL OR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.
The Selling Stockholder acknowledges that, as a result of his association with
the Company including, without limitation, the ownership of shares of capital
stock of the Company, and his employment by the Company, the Selling Stockholder
has acquired confidential or proprietary information of special value to the
Company and its subsidiaries, and the Selling Stockholder covenants and agrees
that the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates shall not during the Restricted
Period directly or indirectly disclose any confidential or proprietary
information of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to any Person, except with
the prior written permission of the Company. For purposes of this Section 4, the
term "CONFIDENTIAL OR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION" means any and all information
which relates to matters such as, but not necessarily limited to, trade secrets,
research and development activities, books and records, customer lists,
suppliers, distribution channels, pricing information and private processes as
they may exist from time to time which the Selling Stockholder has obtained or
had disclosed to it as a result of its past association with the Company and its
subsidiaries. This Section 4 shall not be violated by disclosure of information
which (i) at the time of disclosure is publicly available through no act or
omission by the Selling Stockholder or any of its affiliates or (ii) is
disclosed pursuant to a court order or as otherwise required by law, on
condition that notice of the requirement for such disclosure is given to the
Company prior to the Selling Stockholder

                                        3
<PAGE>

making or permitting any such disclosure and that the Selling Stockholder shall
cooperate in such manner as the Company may reasonably request in resisting such
disclosure.

                  5. REMEDIES. The Selling Stockholder acknowledges and agrees
that any breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to the Company
and/or its subsidiaries and cannot be remedied solely by the recovery of
damages. Therefore, in the event of a breach by the Selling Stockholder or any
of its affiliates of this Agreement, the Company shall, in addition to any other
remedies it may have at law or in equity (including without limitation damages
or action for accounting or restitution) be entitled to an injunction and/or
restraining order from any court of competent jurisdiction. The election of any
remedy, at law or in equity, by the Company shall not be to the exclusion of any
other remedy then available to the Company and any and all such remedies shall
be cumulative.

                  6. JUDICIAL AMENDMENTS; SEVERABILITY. The parties agree and
intend that the covenants contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a
series of separate covenants, one for each applicable state or county. Except
for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical
in terms. It is expressly understood and agreed that, although the Company and
the Selling Stockholder consider the restrictions contained in this Agreement to
be reasonable for the purpose of preserving for the benefit of the Company and
its subsidiaries the proprietary rights, going business value and goodwill of
the Company and its subsidiaries, if a court of competent jurisdiction holds or
deems that any of the separate covenants contained in this Agreement is
unenforceable against the Selling Stockholder or any of its affiliates in
respect of a specific geographic area, then such unenforceable covenant shall be
deemed eliminated from this Agreement for the purpose of such proceedings to the
extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced, and
such holding or determination shall not affect the enforceability of any of the
other separate covenants contained herein. If the court referred to above holds
or determines that any covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is
unenforceable for any other reason, then the provisions of such covenant shall
not be rendered void but shall be deemed reduced or otherwise amended to the
extent such court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable and so
as to provide the Company and its subsidiaries, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, the benefits intended by this Agreement.

                  7. ASSIGNMENT. The rights and obligations of the Company and
its subsidiaries hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon,
their successors and assigns. The Selling Stockholder may not delegate or assign
his obligations hereunder.

                  8. NOTICES. All notices and other communications under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when (i) delivered by
hand, (ii) transmitted by prepaid telex or telecopier, provided that a copy is
sent at about the same time by registered mail, return receipt requested, or
(iii) received by the addressee, if sent by Express Mail, Federal Express, or
other express delivery service to the addressee at the following addresses or
telecopier numbers (or to such other address or telecopier number as a party may
specify by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving
effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

                  12. IMPORTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. It is understood by and
between the Company and the Selling Stockholder that the provisions of this
Agreement are an essential element and material inducement of THL's and Kelso's
agreement to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company and the Company's
redemption of shares of capital stock from the Selling Stockholder, and that,
but for this Agreement, the Company would not have entered into the Redemption
Agreement or consummated the transactions contemplated thereby or by the
Purchase Agreement and Kelso and THL would not have entered into the Purchase
Agreement. The Company and the Selling Stockholder acknowledge that the Line of
Business and Restricted Territory accurately depict the scope of the Company's
and its subsidiaries' business and that the Line of Business, Restricted
Territory and Restricted Period contained herein are reasonable, and the Selling
Stockholder represents and warrants that he will suffer no hardship as a result
of the specific enforcement of this Agreement.

               6. JUDICIAL AMENDMENTS; SEVERABILITY. The parties agree and
intend that the covenants contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a
series of separate covenants, one for each applicable state or county. Except
for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical
in terms. It is expressly understood and agreed that, although the Company and
the Selling Stockholder consider the restrictions contained in this Agreement to
be reasonable for the purpose of preserving for the benefit of the Company and
its subsidiaries the proprietary rights, going business value and goodwill of
the Company and its subsidiaries, if a court of competent jurisdiction holds or
deems that any of the separate covenants contained in this Agreement is
unenforceable against the Selling Stockholder or any of its affiliates in
respect of a specific geographic area, then such unenforceable covenant shall be
deemed eliminated from this Agreement for the purpose of such proceedings to the
extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced, and
such holding or determination shall not affect the enforceability of any of the
other separate covenants contained herein. If the court referred to above holds
or determines that any covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is
unenforceable for any other reason, then the provisions of such covenant shall
not be rendered void but shall be deemed reduced or otherwise amended to the
extent such court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable and so
as to provide the Company and its subsidiaries, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, the benefits intended by this Agreement.

               7. ASSIGNMENT. The rights and obligations of the Company and its
subsidiaries hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their
successors and assigns. The Selling Stockholder may not delegate or assign his
obligations hereunder.

               8. NOTICES. All notices and other communications under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when (i) delivered by
hand, (ii) transmitted by prepaid telex or telecopier, provided that a copy is
sent at about the same time by registered mail, return receipt requested, or

other express delivery service to the addressee at the following addresses or

                  11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving
effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

                  12. IMPORTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. It is understood by and
between the Company and the Selling Stockholder that the provisions of this
Agreement are an essential element and material inducement of THL's and Kelso's
agreement to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company and the Company's
redemption of shares of capital stock from the Selling Stockholder, and that,
but for this Agreement, the Company would not have entered into the Redemption
Agreement or consummated the transactions contemplated thereby or by the
Purchase Agreement and Kelso and THL would not have entered into the Purchase
Agreement. The Company and the Selling Stockholder acknowledge that the Line of
Business and Restricted Territory accurately depict the scope of the Company's
and its subsidiaries' business and that the Line of Business, Restricted
Territory and Restricted Period contained herein are reasonable, and the Selling
Stockholder represents and warrants that he will suffer no hardship as a result
of the specific enforcement of this Agreement.
