                                  ARTICLE III.
                          MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

                  Section 3.1  BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY.

                  (a) The Company shall be managed by a board of directors (the
"Board of Directors") consisting of eight (8) directors (each, a "Director").
Three (3) of the initial Directors shall be nominated by Carlyle, two (2) of the
initial Directors shall be nominated by Providence, one (1) of the initial
Directors shall be nominated by iaxis, and one (1) of the initial Directors
shall be nominated by Carrier1. One (1) of the initial Directors (the
"Management Director") shall be the Chief Executive Officer or, in his absence,
such other Principal Executive Officer elected by Supermajority Shareholder
Approval. Directors nominated by a Shareholder shall be referred to as such
Shareholder's "Director Designees." In the event that a Shareholder:

                        (i)   ceases to own at least 10% of the Common Shares
                              outstanding at any time,

                        (ii)  becomes a Defaulting Shareholder, or

                        (iii) Transfers Common Shares as provided in Section
                              4.8,

then, in any such case, such Shareholder shall have no right to nominate
Director Designee(s).

                  (b) Each of the Shareholders hereby agrees to vote in favor of
the Director Designees of each other Shareholder (provided that such Shareholder
has made timely payment of its Initial Capital Contribution) for positions on
the Board of Directors. The Director Designees of Carlyle shall initially be:
Frank Yeary, Gabe Finke and Brooke Coburn. The Director Designees of Providence
shall initially be: Glenn Creamer and Alexander Evans. The Director Designee of
iaxis shall initially be Abteen Sai. The Director Designee of Carrier1 shall be
Terje Nordahl. The Management Director shall be Thor Geir Ramleth. Each
Shareholder agrees not to take any action to remove a Director Designee other
than in accordance with (i) the following sentence, (ii) Section 3.1(a) if a
Shareholder ceases to own at least 10% of the Common Shares outstanding, (iii)
Section 4.8 or (iv) Section 3.1(a) if a Shareholder becomes a Defaulting
Shareholder. As soon as practicable after receipt of a written request from a
Shareholder to remove a Director Designee of such Shareholder, the other
Shareholders agree to take, or cause to be taken by their Director Designees,
all appropriate action to effect the removal of such Director Designee. Upon the
removal of a Director Designee pursuant to the preceding sentence or the
resignation or death of a Director Designee, the Shareholder nominating such
Director Designee shall designate a replacement Director Designee, and the other
Shareholders agree to take, or cause to be taken by their respective Director
Designees, as soon as practicable after receipt of such designation, all
appropriate action to effect the election of such replacement Director Designee.
Directors of Subsidiaries of the Company shall be appointed in a similar manner.

                  (c) Except as necessary to remove a Director in accordance
with Section 3.1(a), each Shareholder shall vote against or withhold consent
from any proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation in order to change the
composition or character of the Board of Directors as set forth in this Section
3.1.

                  (d) A Chairman of the Board of Directors (the "Chairman of the
Board") shall be elected by Supermajority Board Approval. The Chairman of the
Board shall preside over meetings of the Board of Directors but shall otherwise
have no additional voting or other rights in his capacity as such, including in
connection with any matters submitted to or voted upon by the Board of
Directors. In the absence of the Director then serving as Chairman of the Board
at any meeting of the Board of Directors, (A) the Chairman of the Board for such
meeting shall be the Director nominated by a majority of the Directors present
at such meeting, and (B) the Board of Directors may continue to act in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (e) Each Director shall serve for a term of the duration set
forth in the Articles of Incorporation or, if earlier, until the date of death,
resignation or removal of such Director in accordance with this Agreement or the
date upon which the Shareholder that nominated such Director ceases to be a
Shareholder (or reduces its interest such that it is no longer entitled to
Director Designees and is required to remove such Director Designees as a
result); provided that, in the event that a Director dies, resigns or is removed
prior to the end of the scheduled term of such Director, the initial term for
any Director which replaces such Director on the Board of Directors shall be the
remaining scheduled term of such Director.

                  (f) Any Director may resign by giving notice in writing to the
Secretary of the Company at the Registered Office. The Secretary of the Company
will give written notice to all the Shareholders.

                  (g) Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of
Directors by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment
by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear and speak to
each other, and such participation in a meeting will constitute presence in
person at the meeting; provided that all actions approved by the Directors at
any such meeting will be reduced to writing in the form of resolutions by the
Secretary of the Company.

                  (h) Except as otherwise may be determined by Supermajority
Board Approval or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not
pay compensation to, or reimburse expenses (other than reasonable out-of-pocket
travel expenses) of, the Directors.

                  (i) The Board of Directors shall hold regular meetings not
less than quarterly at such time and place as shall be determined by the Board
of Directors. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called at any
time by any Director. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors,
all special and regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at the
principal office of the Company. No notice shall be required with respect to any
regular meeting of the Board of Directors. Prior notice of any special meeting
shall be given by the Company at least five (5) Business Days before the date of
such meeting. Notice of any meeting need not be given to any Director who shall
submit, either before or after the meeting, a signed

                                       18
<PAGE>

waiver of notice. Attendance of a Director at a meeting shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Director attends the meeting
for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning thereof to the transaction
of any business because the meeting is not properly called or convened. Notice
of any adjourned meeting, including the place, date and time of the new meeting,
shall be given to all Directors not present at the time of the adjournment, as
well as to the other Directors.

                  (j) To the extent practicable, a reasonably detailed agenda
shall be supplied to each Director reasonably in advance of each meeting of
the Board of Directors, together with appropriate documentation with respect
to agenda items calling for action by the Board of Directors, to inform
adequately the Directors regarding matters to come before the Board of
Directors. Any Director wishing to place a matter on the agenda for any
meeting of the Board of Directors may do so by communicating with the
Chairman of the Board sufficiently in advance of the meeting so as to permit
timely dissemination to all Directors of information with respect to the
agenda items. Each Shareholder shall also have the right to designate up to
two (2) persons who shall have observer status (but no vote) at meetings of
the Board of Directors, and such observers shall be permitted to attend all
regular, special or other meeting of the Company's Board of Directors and of
the board of directors of the Subsidiaries of the Company and in this respect
shall, upon prior reasonable request, be given copies of all notices,
minutes, consents and other materials that the Company or such Subsidiary
provides to its directors. Each observer may participate in any and all
discussions of matters brought to the Board of Directors of the Company and
its subsidiaries. The Company shall and shall cause each of its subsidiaries
to allow observers to attend such meetings by means of conference call or
other communications equipment utilized by any other person participating in
such meetings.

                  (a) Except as provided in Section 3.2(b) or mandatorily

appointed by any Shareholder to which the final sentence of Section 3.1(a)
applies) or the approval of a majority of all Directors by action taken at a
meeting which has been duly called and at which a quorum was present.

                                       22
<PAGE>

must state the purpose of the meeting, must be signed by the requesting
Shareholder(s) and deposited at the Registered Office. The Board of Directors
shall call a special general meeting of Shareholders immediately following
receipt of any such request. If the Board of Directors fail to convene a special
general meeting thirty-five (35) days from the date of deposit of the request,
the requesting Shareholder(s) may convene a special general meeting in
accordance with Luxembourg law. Each notice of meeting shall specify the purpose
or purposes of the meeting and the matters to be considered at such meeting, and
all other such information as may be required by Luxembourg law.

                  (c) Written notice of the place, date and time of every
meeting of Shareholders, whether annual or special, shall be given by registered
mail to each Shareholder not less than fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty
(60) days prior to the date of such meeting unless (i) such notice is waived in
writing by all the Shareholders and (ii) all Shareholders are present or
represented at such meeting. At any meeting so called, the Shareholders shall
transact only such business as was specified in the notice for such meeting and
any other business which all Shareholders determine is prudent.

                  (d) A quorum of the Shareholders (without which a vote of the
Shareholders on any matter may not be held) will consist of Shareholders either
in person or by proxy holding more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Common
Shares (excluding the Common Shares of any Shareholder which is a Defaulting
Shareholder). Each Shareholder agrees not to avoid any meeting for the purpose
of frustrating a quorum of the Shareholders.

                  (e) Subject to Section 3.4(f) and any mandatory provisions of
Luxembourg law, all actions which are required by such law to be taken or
approved by the Shareholders shall require the approval of Shareholders holding
more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (excluding the Common
Shares of any Defaulting Shareholder) by affirmative vote at a meeting of
Shareholders held pursuant to this Section 3.4. Shareholders may vote upon and
approve the matters described in Section 3.4(f).

                  (f) The following actions shall require the approval of two
(2) or more Shareholders holding at least 55% (or more if so required by
Luxembourg law) of the outstanding Common Shares held by all Shareholders
(excluding the Common Shares of any Defaulting Shareholder) by affirmative vote
at a meeting of Shareholders held pursuant to this Section 3.4 ("Supermajority
Shareholder Approval"):

                       (i)    any material change in the nature of the Company
                              Business;

                       (ii)   any issuance, purchase or redemption by the
                              Company of any securities, including Common
                              Shares, of the Company, or any change, increase or
                              reduction in the equity capitalization of the
                              Company;

                       (iii)  subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 and
                              Section 4.5, any merger or consolidation of the
                              Company with or into any other Person or of any
                              Person other than a Subsidiary of the Company,

                              reorganization or recapitalization of the Company
                              or any similar extraordinary corporate action or
                              transaction involving the Company;

                       (iv)   any issuance, purchase or redemption by the
                              Company of any securities, including Common Shares
                              other than as expressly provided for herein, of
                              the Company, or any change, increase or reduction
                              in the capitalization of the Company; the
                              declaration or payment of any dividends or any
                              other distribution, directly or indirectly, on
                              account of any Capital Stock of the Company, now
                              or hereafter outstanding, except for dividends or
                              any other distribution on any Capital Stock
                              pursuant to the terms of such Capital Stock as
                              previously approved by Supermajority Board
                              Approval;

                       (v)    any amendment or other modification of the
                              Articles of Incorporation, except as required by
                              Section 10.7.

                  Section 3.5  ACCOUNTING, RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING.

                  (a) The books and records of the Company and Subsidiaries
shall be kept in accordance with U.S. GAAP, consistently applied, and, to the
extent required by law, shall also be kept (separately if necessary) in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as observed in
Luxembourg. The Company and Subsidiaries shall keep books, records and accounts
with respect to (i) all sums of money received and expended by the Company and
Subsidiaries and the matters in respect of which the receipt and expenditure
take place, (ii) all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and
Subsidiaries and (iii) the assets and liabilities of the Company and
Subsidiaries.

                  (b) The accounts of the Company and Subsidiaries shall be
audited by the Independent Accountants. The annual financial statements of the
Company and Subsidiaries shall be audited in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

                  (c) The books of account of the Company and Subsidiaries,
together with a copy of this Agreement and the Articles of Incorporation, shall
be kept and maintained at the Registered Office of the Company. A duplicate copy
of such items shall also be kept and maintained at the principal place of
business of the Company. If the records of account are kept at someplace outside
Luxembourg, there shall be kept at an office of the Company in Luxembourg such
records as will enable the Directors to ascertain with reasonable accuracy the
financial position of the Company at the end of each three month period. So long
as it holds at least 10% of the Common Shares outstanding at such time, each of
the Shareholders, through their respective authorized representatives, shall
have the right at such Shareholder's expense to visit and inspect any of the
operations and any of the properties and assets of the Company and Subsidiaries,
including the books of account of the Company and Subsidiaries, and to make
copies and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and
accounts with its officers and

                                       24
<PAGE>

the Independent Accountants all at such reasonable times and as often as may be
reasonably requested; provided that each Shareholder agrees not to, and to cause
its representatives not to, disclose such information except as otherwise agreed
to by the Shareholders or as required by law. A Shareholder also may disclose
such information to the limited extent necessary to evaluate the business
relationship herein described and to take the steps contemplated by this
Agreement (including without limitation, Article IV, so long as any potential
purchaser executes a confidentiality agreement agreeing to the provisions set
forth in Article VI of this Agreement). Moreover, any two (2) Shareholders
holding at least 30% of the Common Shares outstanding shall have the right (but
not more than once in any twenty-four month period) to have a "private audit" of
the books and records conducted at reasonable times and after reasonable notice
to the Company for any purpose reasonably related to such Shareholder's interest
in the Company, but any such private audit shall be at the expense of the
Shareholder requesting it, and shall not be paid out of Company funds. A
"private audit" shall entail the review of the work papers of the Company's
auditors for the two most recent audit periods, and in-person consultation with
the auditors, but shall not entail consultation with management or any
disruption of management's normal business activities.

                  (d) As soon as practicable following the end of each Fiscal
Year, the Board of Directors shall cause to be prepared for the Company and
Subsidiaries and shall deliver to the Shareholders not later than ninety (90)
days following the end of such Fiscal Year a statement of the results of
operations for the Fiscal Year, a balance sheet as at the end of such Fiscal
Year, a statement of retained earnings or deficit and a statement of cash flows
for such Fiscal Year, together with all other documents prescribed under
Luxembourg law and all schedules and footnotes thereto and an audit report
thereon of the Independent Accountants. Such financial statements shall comply
with U.S. GAAP consistently applied on a basis consistent with prior years
(except as indicated in the notes thereto) and, to the extent required by law, a
separate set shall be prepared that also complies with GAAP as observed in
Luxembourg.

                  (e) As soon as practicable after the end of each month and
Fiscal Quarter the Company shall cause to be prepared and the Company shall
deliver to each Shareholder not later than forty-five (45) days following the
end of such month or Fiscal Quarter, as the case may be, (i) unaudited monthly
or quarterly financial statements comparable to those in Section 3.5(d) prepared
in accordance with U.S. GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the audited
financial statements of the company, subject to changes from audit and year-end
adjustments and without the footnotes thereto, together with a certificate of
the Chief Financial Officer to such effect, and (ii) an operating report for the
Company for such period, which report shall detail, among other things, revenue
generated in such period, expenses incurred in such period, compared to the
Business Plan then in effect, and pertinent operating data.

                  (f) Under the direction of the Board of Directors, the Company
shall prepare and file, or shall cause to be prepared, as applicable, all
reports prescribed by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Company.

                  (g) In addition to the reports described above, the Company
shall furnish such other financial and supporting information to each
Shareholder and the Board of Directors in such detail and with such frequency as
the Board of Directors may reasonably require and shall furnish

                                       25
<PAGE>

to each Shareholder all such financial information as such Shareholder shall
require to prepare United States federal income tax returns and make United
States federal income tax elections.

                  (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
3.5, if (i) any Shareholder or group of Shareholders transfers its Common Shares
representing less than 55% of the outstanding Common Shares to a Competitor or
(ii) any Shareholder loses its right to appoint Director Designees as set forth
in Section 4.8, then such Shareholders or their transferees, as the case may be,
shall be entitled only to the information set forth in Section 3.5(d) and the
information set forth in Section 3.5(e) for the relevant fiscal period.

                  Section 3.6  BUSINESS PLAN. The Shareholders have agreed
upon a preliminary Business Plan. The Shareholders shall endeavor in good
faith to complete a final Business Plan to be presented to the Board of
Directors not later than [*]. Prior to approval of a final Business Plan, no
expenditures or commitments shall be made by the Company in excess of [*]
individually or [*] in the aggregate without Supermajority Board Approval.
Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, no expenditure shall be
incurred by or on behalf of the Company which is not contemplated, either
specifically or generally, by the Business Plan then in effect. The Business
Plan may be amended or modified by the Board of Directors by Supermajority
Board Approval.

                  Section 3.7  DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS OF FUNDS. Funds of the
Company shall be deposited in such banks or other depositories as shall be
designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. All withdrawals from any
such depository shall be made only as authorized by the Board of Directors and
shall be made only by check, wire transfer, debit memorandum or other written
instruction.

                  Section 3.8  VOTING. In order to effectuate the provisions of
this Agreement, each Shareholder hereby agrees, subject to compliance with
applicable law, that when any action or vote is required by this Agreement to be
taken by such Shareholder or by a Director, such Shareholder agrees to use its
reasonable best efforts to call, or cause the appropriate officers and directors
to call, a special or annual meeting of Shareholders or Directors, as
applicable, to effectuate such Shareholder action as required by this Agreement.
Each Shareholder agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to vote or cause the
vote of its Shares in a manner consistent with, and to effect, the terms of this
Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE IV.

incur, assume or suffer to exist a lien on, grant a security interest in,
pledge, hypothecate, assign, give or otherwise (voluntarily or by operation
of law) dispose of (any such act is hereinafter referred to as a "Transfer")
any Common Shares to any Person.

                  (b) A Shareholder may (i) pledge any or all Common Shares
or grant a security interest therein to secure indebtedness of the
Shareholder owing to a bank or other financial institution, provided that any
such bank or other financial institution pursuant to this clause (i) shall
acquire only a security interest in the Common Shares entitling such bank or
other financial institution only to the proceeds from any sale of the Common
Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall not acquire
title to the Common Shares or any other rights incident thereto, and, in the
case of any foreclosure on the Common Shares by such bank or other financial
institution, the pledgee shall be considered an "Offeror" (as defined in
Section 4.2 below) and shall not be permitted to consummate the foreclosure
without complying with the provisions of Section 4.2 or (ii) subject to the
provisions of Section 4.2, Transfer any Common Shares to any Person (any such
transferee pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above or Section 4.1(d) below shall
be referred to herein as a "Permitted Transferee"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, no
Transfer shall be made to any Person pursuant to clause (ii) above prior to
[*] without a Supermajority Shareholder Approval of the non-transferring
Shareholders.

                  (c) In the event a Transfer of any Common Shares has taken
place in violation of the provisions of this Agreement, the Board of Directors
shall refuse to register such Transfer in the Register and such Transfer shall
be void and of no effect, and no distribution of any kind shall be paid by the
Company to the transferee in respect of such Common Shares (all such dividends
and distributions being deemed waived), and the voting rights, if any, of such
Common Shares on any matter whatsoever shall remain vested in the transferor
during the period commencing with such transferor's initial noncompliance and
ending when compliance shall have occurred.

                  (d) The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall not apply to (i)
Transfers to a family member of a Shareholder or to trusts for the benefit of
such persons or Shareholder so long as such Shareholder retains control over the
right to vote or dispose of any Common Shares so Transferred, and such
transferee family members or trusts agree to be bound by this Agreement; (ii)
Transfers between any Shareholder and any of its Affiliates or by Providence or
any of its Affiliates of not more than 20% of the Common Shares held by
Providence and its Affiliates at any time to Primus Venture Partners IV Limited
Partnership or any Affiliates thereof ("Primus"), PROVIDED THAT such transferee
Affiliate, or Primus, as the case may be, agrees to be bound by this Agreement,
and (iii) any Transfer in connection with a public offering pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

                  (e) The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall apply to any
transfer of any capital stock or other equity securities of any Shareholders or
other Person where substantially all of such Shareholders' or other Person's
assets are directly or indirectly composed of Common Shares ("Special Purpose
Shareholders").

                  Section 4.2  RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

                  (a) Prior to any Shareholder making any Transfer in accordance
with Section 4.1(b)(ii), such Shareholder (the "Offeror") shall provide written
notice (the "Notice") to the other Shareholders (each, an "Offeree"), which
notice shall set forth (i) confirmation that such Offeror intends to Transfer
all or certain of its Common Shares in a bona fide transaction with a third
party in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(ii), (ii) the name and address of each
proposed transferee or purchaser and such other information as is reasonably
requested by the other Shareholders, (iii) the number of Common Shares proposed
to be Transferred (the "Offered Shares"), (iv) the proposed amount and form of
consideration to be paid for the Offered Shares, provided that in no event shall
any non-cash consideration consist of anything other than Cash Equivalents or
Marketable Securities (each as defined in Sections 4.2(g) or (h)) or other
securities reasonably subject to valuation by an Independent Appraiser (as
defined in Section 4.2(d)) and (v) all other material terms of the proposed
Transfer.

                  (b) Each Offeree may elect to buy all or any portion of the
Offered Shares at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Notice. Each Offeree shall make such election by delivery of a written notice
(the "Offeree Election Notice") to the Offeror within thirty (30) days of the
date of receipt of the Notice by the Offerees, which Offeree Election Notice
shall constitute the binding agreement of each Offeree to purchase the number of
Offered Shares set forth in the Offeree Election Notice (the "Offeree Election
Number") at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice.
If more than one (1) Offeree shall send an Offeree Election Notice and the
aggregate Offeree Election Numbers equal or exceed the number of Offered Shares,
then each Offeree shall be entitled to (i) its pro rata share (the "Pro Rata
Share"), based upon the relative interests in the Common Shares, on a fully
diluted basis, held by all Offerees, of the Offered Shares, to the extent the
Offerees have elected to do so and (ii) its pro rata share based on the
unfulfilled Offeree Election Numbers of the remaining Offered Shares and the
Offeree Election Notice shall be deemed to be an election to purchase such
Common Shares. The Offeror shall deliver written notice thereof (the "Purchase
Notice") to each Offeree who has submitted an Offeree Election Notice. The
Purchase Notice shall state the number of Offered Shares to be acquired by each
such Offeree and the closing date for such transaction, which date shall not be
less than thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of the Purchase Notice to
all such Offerees. At such closing, each such Offeree shall deliver to such
Offeror, or to such other person as such Offeror may request, by wire transfer
of immediately available funds, the amount of the purchase price (as calculated
below) of the Offered Shares to be purchased by such Offeree, to be held in
escrow against delivery of the instruments of transfer properly endorsed in
blank, and the corresponding certificate(s) representing all such Offered
Shares. If any Offeree shall fail to deliver such purchase price, then the other
Offerees may purchase, pro rata, the Offered Shares to have been purchased by
such Offeree by wire transfer of immediately available funds of the purchase
price for such additional Offered Shares, to be held in escrow against delivery
of the instruments of transfer properly endorsed in blank, and the corresponding
certificate(s)

                                       28
<PAGE>

representing all such Offered Shares. Upon receipt of payment for all of the
Offered Shares, such Offeror shall deliver instruments of transfer properly
endorsed in blank and the corresponding certificates representing all such
Offered Shares to the respective Offerees.

                  (c) If an Offeree Election Notice is not received by such
Offeror from any Offeree within the period specified in paragraph (b) of this
Section 4.2, or if the Offerees elect to purchase less than all of the Offered
Shares or fail to deliver the purchase price of the Offered Shares in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Offeror shall have the right to Transfer the Common
Shares specified in the Notice to the proposed purchaser or transferee in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only at a price and upon terms
and conditions no less favorable to the Offeror than those stated in the Notice
and only if such sale occurs on a date within ninety (90) days from the date of
the Notice.

                  (d) For purposes of calculating the purchase price of any such
Transfer, if any portion of the consideration is neither cash nor Marketable
Securities, the Fair Market Value of such consideration shall be determined, at
the expense of the Offeror, by an internationally recognized independent
valuation consultant or appraiser (an "Independent Appraiser") (with experience
evaluating such type of property) selected by the Offeror and reasonably
satisfactory to Offerees holding a majority of the Common Shares held by such
Offerees.

                  (e) The closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Section 4.2 shall occur at the principal place of business of the Company unless
otherwise agreed by the parties to such transaction.

                  (f) If the Offerees do not exercise their rights to purchase
the Offered Shares, and the Offeror shall not have sold the Offered Shares in
accordance with Section 4.2(c) before the expiration of the 90-day period
described in Section 4.2(c), then the Offeror may not sell the Offered Shares
without again complying with this Section 4.2.

                  (g) For purposes of these Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the following
terms shall have the following meanings:

                           "CASH EQUIVALENTS" shall mean (i) marketable direct
         obligations issued or unconditionally guaranteed by the United States
         Government or issued by any agency thereof and backed by the full faith
         and credit of the United States, in each case maturing within (1) year
         from the date of acquisition thereof, (ii) marketable direct
         obligations issued by any state of the United States or any political
         subdivision of any such state or any public instrumentality thereof, in
         each case maturing within one (1) year from the date of acquisition
         thereof and, at the time of acquisition, having the highest rating
         obtainable from any of Standard & Poor's Corporation, Moody's Investors
         Service, Inc., or Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. or (iii) commercial
         paper maturing not more than one (1) year from the date of issuance
         thereof and, at the time of acquisition, having the highest rating
         obtainable from Standard & Poor's Corporation or Moody's Investors
         Service, Inc.; and

                           "MARKETABLE SECURITIES" shall mean securities that
         are (i) (A) securities of or other interests in any Person that are
         traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or

                                       29
<PAGE>

         reported on the NASDAQ National Stock Market or (B) debt securities on
         market terms of an issuer that has debt or equity securities that are
         so traded or so reported on and in which securities a U.S. nationally
         recognized securities firm has agreed to make a market and (ii) not
         subject to restrictions on transfer as a result of any applicable
         contractual provisions or the provisions of the U.S. Securities Act of
         1933, as amended (or, if subject to such restrictions under such Act,
         are also subject to registration rights reasonably acceptable to the
         Person receiving such securities).

                  (h) For purposes of this Agreement, the Independent Appraiser
shall use the following for valuation: (i) Cash Equivalents, the face amount
thereof, (ii) Marketable Securities, the last reported sale price thereof on the
principal market on which such Securities are traded on the last full trading
day prior to the determination and (iii) any other assets or property, the price
at which a willing seller would sell and a willing buyer would buy such assets
or property having full knowledge of the facts, and assuming each party acts on
an arm's-length basis with the expectation of concluding the purchase and sale
within a reasonable time.

                  Section 4.3  TAG-ALONG RIGHTS.

                  (a) If any holder of Common Shares (the "Selling
Shareholder"), at any time or from time to time, enters into an agreement
(whether oral or written) to Transfer any Common Shares in accordance with
Section 4.1(b)(ii) (a "Tag-Along Sale"), then each Shareholder other than the
Selling Shareholder (the "Other Holders") shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to participate in such Tag-Along Sale by selling the number of
Common Shares respectively owned by such Other Holder as calculated in the
following manner. Such Common Shares owned by the Other Holders are hereinafter
referred to collectively as the "Shareholders' Shares." The number of Common
Shares that the Other Holders shall be entitled to include in such Tag-Along
Sale (the "Shareholders' Allotment") shall equal the product (rounded down to
the nearest whole share) of (i) the total number of Common Shares proposed to be
Transferred pursuant to the Tag-Along Sale or such greater number of shares that
the proposed purchaser in the Tag-Along Sale shall agree to purchase or
otherwise acquire, times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the
aggregate number of Shareholders' Shares on the date of the Sale Notice (as
defined below), and the denominator of which shall equal the sum of (A) the
aggregate number of Common Shares owned by the Selling Shareholder on the date
of the Sale Notice plus (B) the aggregate number of Shareholders' Shares on the
date of the Sale Notice. For purposes of this Section 4.3, the number and price
of Common Shares shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis. Any such sales by
the Other Holders shall be on the same terms and conditions as the proposed
Tag-Along Sale by the Selling Shareholder.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.3 shall not
apply to any transfer to a Shareholder pursuant to Section 4.2(b) hereof.

                  (c) The Selling Shareholder shall promptly provide each of the
Other Holders and the Company with written notice (the "Sale Notice") not less
than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of the Tag-Along Sale (the
"Tag-Along Sale Date"). In order to facilitate the prompt delivery of the Sale
Notice, the Company hereby covenants to provide the Selling Shareholder
participating in a Tag-Along Sale access to the Register of the Company. Each
Sale

                                       30
<PAGE>

Notice shall set forth (i) the name and address of each proposed transferee or
purchaser of Common Shares in the Tag-Along Sale, (ii) the name and address of
the Selling Shareholder and the number of Common Shares proposed to be
transferred by such Selling Shareholder, (iii) the proposed amount and form of
consideration to be paid for such Common Shares and the terms and conditions of
payment offered by each proposed transferee or purchaser, (provided, that in no
event shall any non-cash consideration consist of anything other than Cash
Equivalents or Marketable Securities or other securities reasonably subject to a
valuation by an Independent Appraiser) (iv) the number of Shareholders' Shares
held of record as of the close of business on the date of the Sale Notice (the
"Notice Date") by the Other Holders to whom the notice is sent, (v) the
aggregate number of Common Shares held of record as of the Notice Date by the
Selling Shareholder, (vi) the number of Shareholders' Shares in the
Shareholders' Allotment, (vii) confirmation that the proposed purchaser or
transferee has been informed of the "Tag-Along Rights" provided for herein and
has agreed to purchase Common Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, and
(viii) the Tag-Along Sale Date.

                  (d) Each Other Holder who wishes to participate in the
Tag-Along Sale shall provide written notice (or oral notice confirmed in
writing) (the "Tag-Along Notice") to the Selling Shareholder and the Company not
less than twenty (20) days prior to the Tag-Along Sale Date. The Tag-Along
Notice shall set forth the number of Common Shares that such Other Holder elects
to include in the Tag-Along Sale, which shall not exceed the product of (x) the
Shareholders' Allotment times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to
the aggregate number of Shareholders' Shares owned of record as of the Notice
Date by such Other Holder and the denominator of which is the aggregate number
of Shareholders' Shares owned of record by all of the Other Holders as of the
Notice Date. The Tag-Along Notice shall also specify the aggregate number of
additional Common Shares owned of record as of the Notice Date by such Other
Holder, if any, which such Other Holder desires also to include in the Tag-Along
Sale ("Additional Shares") in the event there is an undersubscription for the
entire Shareholders' Allotment. In the event there is an undersubscription by
the Other Holders for the entire Shareholders' Allotment, the Selling
Shareholder participating in the Tag-Along Sale shall apportion the unsubscribed
Shareholders' Shares to Other Holders whose Tag-Along Notices specified an
amount of Additional Shares, which apportionment shall be on a pro rata basis
among such Other Holders in accordance with the number of Additional Shares
specified by all such Other Holders in their Tag-Along Notices.

                  (e) The Company shall determine the aggregate number of Common
Shares to be sold by each participating Other Holder or in any given Tag-Along
Sale in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Tag-Along Notices given by the
Other Holders shall constitute their binding agreements to sell such shares at
the price and on the terms and conditions applicable to such sale.

                  (f) If a Tag-Along Notice is not received by the Selling
Shareholder participating in the Tag-Along Sale from an Other Holder prior to
the twenty (20) day period specified above, the Selling Shareholder shall have
the right to Transfer the number of Common Shares specified in the Sale Notice
to the proposed purchaser or transferee without any participation by such Other
Holder (subject to the right of Other Holders to sell Additional Shares in the
event of an undersubscription as described above), but only at a price and upon
terms and

                                       31
<PAGE>

conditions no more favorable to the Selling Shareholder than those stated in
such Sale Notice and only if such sale occurs on a date within ninety (90) days
of the Tag-Along Sale Date.

                  (g) The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall apply to any
transfer of any capital stock or other equity securities of any Special Purpose
Shareholder.

                  (h) If the Other Holders do not exercise their rights to sell
any Common Shares, and the Selling Shareholder shall not have sold such Shares
in accordance with Section 4.3 before the expiration of the 90-day period, then
the Selling Shareholder may not sell such Shares without again complying with
this Section 4.3.

                  Section 4.4  DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS.

                  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any
Shareholders (other than any Defaulting Shareholder) holding 55% or more of the
issued and outstanding Common Shares held by Shareholders (other than Common
Shares held by any Defaulting Shareholders) (the "Initiating Shareholders")
agree to sell (a "Drag-Along Sale") 100% of the aggregate number of Common
Shares then held by the Initiating Shareholders to any person who is not an
Affiliate of the Initiating Shareholders (a "Third Party"), other than a sale in
connection with a public offering pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement,
then upon the demand of the Initiating Shareholders, the other Shareholders
hereby agree to sell to such Third Party 100% of the Common Shares then held by
them, at a price per share and on terms and conditions no less favorable to such
other Shareholders than those on which the Initiating Shareholders have agreed
to sell their Common Shares to such Third Party, provided, however, that no
Shareholder shall be required to accept any consideration for its Common Shares
other than cash, Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities.

                  (b) Prior to making any Drag-Along Sale, the Initiating
Shareholders shall promptly provide each Shareholder with written notice (the
"Drag-Along Notice") not more than ninety (90) days nor less than thirty (30)
days prior to the proposed date of the Drag-Along Sale (the "Drag-Along Sale
Date"). The Drag-Along Notice shall set forth: (i) the name and address of the
Third Party, (ii) the proposed amount and form of consideration to be paid per
share and the terms and conditions of payment offered by the Third Party
(provided that in no event shall any such non-cash consideration consist of
anything other than Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities), (iii) the number
of shares of Common Shares held of record as of the close of business on the
date of the Drag-Along Sale Notice (the "Drag-Along Notice Date") by the
Initiating Shareholders, (iv) confirmation that the Initiating Shareholders are
selling 100% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Shares then held by
them to a Third Party, and (v) the Drag-Along Sale Date.

                  (c) On the Drag-Along Sale Date, each Shareholder shall
deliver an instrument of transfer and the corresponding certificate or
certificates for all of its Common Shares, duly endorsed for transfer with
signatures guaranteed, to such Third Party in the manner and at the address
indicated in the Drag-Along Sale Notice and the Initiating Shareholders shall
cause each Shareholder's pro rata share of the purchase price, less such
Shareholder's pro rata share of

                                       32
<PAGE>

expenses incurred by the Company or the Initiating Shareholders on behalf of the
Shareholders in connection with such Transfer, to be paid to such Shareholder.

                  (d) The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall apply regardless
of the form of consideration received in the Drag-Along Sale; provided, however,
that if the Initiating Shareholders have agreed to sell any Common Shares for
non-cash consideration other than Marketable Securities, the proposed
purchaser's offer shall include (or, at its option, the Initiating Shareholders
may otherwise provide) an option for the Shareholder to participate in such
Drag-Along Sale and to select as consideration for its sale either its pro rata
share of such non-cash consideration or cash in the amount of the Fair Market
Value of such non-cash consideration, which Fair Market Value shall be
determined by an internationally recognized independent valuation consultant or
appraiser (with experience evaluating such type of property) to be selected by
the Initiating Shareholders and reasonably satisfactory to the Shareholders
holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Shares then held by
Shareholders requesting the appraisal.

                  (e) Any Shareholder who participates in the Drag-Along Sale
and receives its proportionate share of the purchase price therefrom who fails
to deliver an instrument of transfer properly endorsed in blank and
corresponding certificate or certificates for all of its Common Shares as
described in this Section 4.4, hereby appoints the President of the Company as
its duly appointed attorney-in-fact to execute an instrument of transfer and a
suitable indemnity in respect of the missing certificate(s) for its Common
Shares. Furthermore, after the closing of such Drag-Along Sale, such Shareholder
shall for all purposes be deemed no longer to be a shareholder of the Company,
shall have no voting rights, shall not be entitled to any dividends or other
distributions in respect of the Company's Shares held by it (all such dividends
and distributions being deemed waived), shall have no other rights or privileges
granted to shareholders under this or any future agreement and, in the event of
liquidation of the Company, its rights with respect to any consideration it
would have received if it had complied with this Section 4.4, if any, shall be
subordinate to the rights of any equity holder.

                  (f) In the event that a proposal is made by a Third Party for
a merger or consolidation involving all of the Company's Shares or any of the
Company's Subsidiaries or to purchase all or substantially all of the Company's
assets (a "Third Party Proposal") and the Initiating Shareholders approves in
writing such Third Party Proposal, each Shareholder agrees to vote or give
written consent, or to cause its Director Designees to vote or give written
consent, in favor of such Third Party Proposal approved by the Initiating
Shareholders; provided that the other Shareholders shall not be required to take
any such action unless the price per share, and other terms and conditions of
such proposal, shall be no less favorable to the other Shareholders than those
applicable to the Initiating Shareholders; provided, further, that (i) no
Shareholder shall be required to make any representation, covenant or warranty
in connection with the Third Party Proposal, other than as to its ownership and
authority to transfer, free of liens, claims and encumbrances, the shares of
Common Shares proposed to be transferred by it and the absence of conflicts with
agreements and laws applicable to such Shareholder, (ii) no Shareholder shall be
required to accept any consideration for its Common Shares other than cash, Cash
Equivalents or Marketable Securities, (iii) no Shareholder shall be required to
provide or be subject to any post-closing indemnification unless it is pro rata
with respect to all Shareholders (except with respect

                                       33
<PAGE>

to claims that relate specifically to such Shareholder) and limited in amount
and duration to an escrow, the terms of which have been agreed to by the
Initiating Shareholders and the Third Party, and (iv) no Shareholder shall be
required to be a party to any non-compete or similar provision.

                  Section 4.5  LIQUIDITY RIGHTS.

                  (a) Following November 23, 2004, in the event the Company
has not completed a Qualified Public Offering, any Shareholder holding more
than 10% of the Common Shares outstanding at such time held by Shareholders
(a "Section 4.5 Seller"), may require the Company (provided the Company, by
vote of a majority of disinterested Directors, does not exercise its right to
either (i) acquire or (ii) cause a third party to acquire, all but not less
than all of the Common Shares held by the Section 4.5 Seller and its
Affiliates pursuant to paragraph (b) below), to conduct, pursuant to the
auction process set forth below (the "Auction") a sale of the Company,
whether by means of a sale of all or substantially all of the Common Shares
of the Company, a merger, a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, or other business combination transaction to a third party not
affiliated with the Shareholder exercising the Section 4.5 Offer (the
"Acquiror").

                  (b) A Section 4.5 Seller may initiate an Auction by delivering
written notice to the Company and each other Shareholder (the "Section 4.5
Notice"), which shall (i) contain an offer (the "Section 4.5 Offer") by the
Section 4.5 Seller to the Company to sell all, but not less than all, of the
Common Shares held by the Section 4.5 Seller to the Company, to the extent
permitted by Luxembourg law, or a third party identified by a majority of
disinterested Directors of the Company for the Fair Market Value of the Common
Shares (the "Section 4.5 Minimum Price") during the Section 4.5 Option Period
(as defined below) and (ii) shall set forth the Section 4.5 Minimum Price, as
determined in accordance with Section 4.5(f). Each other Shareholder shall have
a period of twenty (20) days after receipt of the Section 4.5 Offer to notify
the Company in writing that it also makes a Section 4.5 Offer on the same terms
as the original Section 4.5 Offer. All sales of Common Shares pursuant to the
Section 4.5 Offers shall be consummated contemporaneously at the offices of the
Company on a mutually satisfactory business day as soon as practicable, but in
any event not later than sixty (60) days after the delivery of the original
Section 4.5 Offer (the "Section 4.5 Offer Period"). The delivery of certificates
or other instruments evidencing such Common Shares duly endorsed for transfer
shall be made on such date against payment of the purchase price for such Common
Shares. The Company or third party purchaser shall bear all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with a Section 4.5 Sale. If any such purchase is not
consummated in accordance with this Section 4.5, including without limitation
due to failure by the Company or third party purchaser to pay the purchase
price, such Section 4.5 Offer shall be deemed to have not been accepted by the
Company.

                  (c) If the Company, acting by a majority vote of disinterested
Directors, or another Person shall not have purchased all of the Section 4.5
Offered Common Shares for not less than the Section 4.5 Minimum Price prior to
the expiration of the Section 4.5 Offer Period or if the Company, acting by a
majority vote of disinterested Directors, shall have rejected the Section 4.5
Offer, the Company shall at the election of the Section 4.5 Seller either (i)
retain an

                                       34
<PAGE>

investment banking firm of recognized international standing reasonably
satisfactory to each Shareholder (the "Auctioneer") to conduct the Auction on
behalf of the Company or (ii) cause the Company to be sold in such other manner
as the Section 4.5 Seller may elect with the consent of a Supermajority
Shareholder Approval (which may include the Section 4.5 Seller). If the Company
is to be sold by Auction, the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to bidding
procedures that are (i) determined by the Auctioneer in its sole discretion, and
(ii) uniformly applicable and applied to all interested parties who are
identified by the Auctioneer or are otherwise invited to participate in the
Auction for the submission and evaluation of proposals. The Company shall
provide the Auctioneer with all reasonable assistance requested by the
Auctioneer to consummate the Auction. All Shareholders shall have the right to
submit a bid pursuant to the Auction for the outstanding Common Shares of the
Company not held by them and have such bid evaluated on a basis no more or less
favorable than that afforded to other participants in the Auction; provided that
for so long as any Shareholder shall wish to have its bid considered pursuant to
the Auction, such Shareholder and its representatives on the Board shall be
recused from all information received or considered by the Company or the Board
with respect to the Auction or the Board with respect to the Auction or the
results thereof. The Acquiror shall be identified by the Auctioneer at the
conclusion of the Auction; provided, that the bid by such Acquiror shall be
satisfactory to the Section 4.5 Seller, and the sale of such assets or capital
shares of the Company to such Acquiror shall constitute the "Required Sale."

                  (d) If the Required Sale is by means of a sale of all or
substantially all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company,
then the Required Sale shall constitute a Drag-Along Sale for purposes of
Section 4.4 and the provisions of Section 4.4 shall be applicable to such
Required Sale, without regard to the requirement set forth in Section 4.4 that
Initiating Shareholders hold 55% or more of the Common Shares, as if the Section
4.5 Seller had all of the rights of the Initiating Shareholder thereunder to
require the other Shareholders to participate in such Required Sale, provided,
however, that if the Required Sale shall not be consummated, all of the
provisions of this Section 4.5 shall then be reinstated.

                  (e) If the Required Sale is other than by means of a sale of
the outstanding Capital Stock of the Company, then the Company shall deliver a
written notice (the "Required Sale Notice") to each Shareholder setting forth in
detail the terms of the proposed Required Sale and the proposed closing date of
the Required Sale, which proposed date (the "Required Sale Closing Date") shall
be the later of (i) a Business Day not less than fifteen (15) or more than sixty
(60) days after such Required Sale Notice is delivered to the Shareholders, or
(ii) the fifth day following the receipt of all regulatory or third party
consents and approvals, if any, applicable to such Required Sale. Each
Shareholder will (x) take all such actions, including, without limitation,
voting in favor of such proposed sale and waiving any appraisal, dissenter or
similar rights under applicable law, as may be requested by the first initial
Section 4.5 Seller to carry out the purposes of this Section 4.5 and (y) execute
all documents reasonably requested by the initial Section 4.5 Seller provided,
that (i) no Shareholder shall be required to make any representation, covenant
or warranty in connection with the Required Sale, other than as to its ownership
and authority to transfer, free of liens, claims and encumbrances, the Common
Shares proposed to be transferred by it and the absence of conflicts with
agreements and laws applicable to such Shareholder, (ii) no Shareholder shall be
required to accept any consideration for its Common Shares other than cash,

                                       35
<PAGE>

Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities, (iii) no Shareholder shall be
required to provide or be subject to any post-closing indemnification unless it
is pro rata with respect to all Shareholders (except with respect to claims that
relate specifically to such Shareholder) and limited in amount and duration to
an escrow and (iv) no Shareholder shall be required to be a party to any
non-compete or similar provision. The Required Sale shall be consummated at the
offices of the Company (or such other location selected by the Initiating
Shareholders) on the Required Sale Closing Date. The Company (or its
shareholders, on a pro rata basis) will bear all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the Required Sale to the extent such costs and expenses are not
otherwise paid by the Acquiror. If the Required Sale shall not be consummated
within ninety (90) days of the mailing of the Section 4.5 Notice, all of the
provisions of this Section 4.5 shall then be reinstated.

                  (f) "FAIR MARKET VALUE OF COMMON SHARES" shall mean, for
purposes of this Section 4.5, the fair market value of each Common Share as
determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.4.

                  Section 4.6  INVOLUNTARY TRANSFERS. In the event any or all of
a Shareholder's Common Shares are transferred involuntarily, directly or
indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, such Shareholder shall give
written notice (an "Involuntary Transfer Notice") promptly after receiving
knowledge thereof, and in any case within fifteen (15) days of such involuntary
Transfer, to the other Shareholders, with a copy to the transferee, stating the
fact that the involuntary Transfer occurred, the reason therefor, the date of
such Transfer, the name and address of the transferee and the number of Common
Shares acquired by such transferee.

                  Section 4.7  LIABILITY OF TRANSFEROR. In the event that any
Shareholder proposes to make a Transfer permitted under this Article IV, such
Shareholder shall cause the transferee, prior to such Transfer, to execute one
or more instruments pursuant to which the transferee adopts and agrees to be
bound as a Shareholder to this Agreement and such transferring Shareholder shall
be released from the obligations (except for Article VI) hereunder (including
its commitment under Section 2.7) with respect to the interest represented by
the transferred Common Shares assumed by the transferee and, until the
transferee executes said instrument(s), such transfer shall not be valid and
effective and the transferor shall remain fully liable for the acts, omissions
or defaults of the transferee with respect to the interest represented by the
proposed transferred Common Shares and the provisions of this Agreement, as if
the transferor were still a party hereto; provided, however, that the
Non-Initiating Shareholder in a Drag-Along Sale shall not have any duty under
this Section 4.7. No Transfer shall relieve the transferor of responsibility for
its own acts, omissions or defaults.

                  Section 4.8  TRANSFERS TO A COMPETITOR OF THE COMPANY.

                  (a) If a Shareholder or Shareholders holding less than 55%
of the Common Shares outstanding Transfers Common Shares to a Competitor
prior to a Qualified Public

                                       36
<PAGE>

Offering, then without further action, such Common Shares shall be converted
in accordance with Section 7.3(e) into an equal number of Non-Voting Shares,
and such Shareholder shall have no further right to designate Director
Designee(s).

                  (b) If any Carrier Investor (i) becomes an Affiliate of a
Person that, at the time of such Carrier Investor becoming such an Affiliate,
is a Competitor or (ii) sells all or substantially all of its assets to a
Competitor, then without further action, the Common Shares then held by such
Carrier Investor shall be converted in accordance with Section 7.3(e) into an
equal number of Non-Voting Shares, and such Shareholder shall have no further
right to designate a Director Designee. As used in this Section 4.8(b),
"Affiliate" shall not include any Person under common control with a Carrier
Investor by virtue of TCG Holdings L.L.C. or PEP III or PEOP III controlling
such Person.

                  (c) If a Competitor acquires more than [*] of the Capital
Stock of a Carrier Investor or has the right to appoint at least one director or
manager of a Carrier Investor, such Shareholder shall have no further right to
designate a Director Designee.

                  (d) If a Carrier Investor shall commit an "Opt-Out Default"
under its Strategic Anchor Tenant Agreement prior to November 23, 2000, such
Shareholder shall have no further right to designate a Director Designee.

                  Section 4.9  PROHIBITED TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding anything in
this Article IV to the contrary, no Shareholder may transfer its Common Shares
and the Company may not purchase any Common Shares or effect any other
transaction pursuant to this Article IV (i) prior to the receipt of any
necessary governmental approvals or in violation of applicable law or (ii) in
violation of any of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation. In the
event any governmental approvals are required for any Transfer or other
transaction under this Article IV, the Shareholders shall cooperate to obtain
such approvals.

                  Section 4.10  EXPENSES IN CONNECTION WITH TRANSFERS. Except in
connection with a Transfer by a non-Initiating Shareholder pursuant to Section
4.4, each Shareholder shall reimburse the Company on a pro rata basis for all
reasonable expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any Transfer
proposed or effectuated by such Shareholder.

                                   ARTICLE V.
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  Section 5.1  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Shareholder
represents and warrants to each of the other parties hereto as of the date
hereof as follows:

                  (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the other documents referenced herein to which it is or is to be a party
have been authorized by all necessary action, and do not and will not: (i)

                  (d) There is no litigation pending or, to its knowledge,
threatened to which it or any of its Affiliates is a party which, if adversely
determined, would have a material adverse effect on the ability of such
Shareholder to perform its obligations hereunder.

                  (e) All negotiations relating to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby have been carried out without the intervention
of any Person acting on behalf of such party in a manner that could give rise to

                                  ARTICLE VI.
                   CONFIDENTIALITY; SATISFACTION OF CONDITIONS

                  Section 6.1  CONFIDENTIALITY. If any Shareholder or the
Company has disclosed proprietary confidential information and trade secrets
("Confidential Information") to any other Shareholder or Shareholders in
connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, each other
Shareholder agrees not to disclose any such Confidential Information to any
third party except to officers, directors, employees and advisors of a
Shareholder who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose and
to the limited extent necessary to evaluate the business relationship herein
described and to take the steps contemplated by this Agreement (including
without limitation, Article IV, so long as any potential purchaser executes a
confidentiality agreement agreeing to the provisions set forth in this Article
VI). All extracts, digests, and copies of such Confidential Information shall be
maintained under strict control by its recipient. The term "Confidential
Information" shall not include such portions of the Confidential Information
which (i) is generally available to the public or has become, after the time of

                                       38
<PAGE>

fault of the receiving party, (ii) was, prior to the time of disclosure, already
known to the receiving party and was not acquired, directly or indirectly, from
the disclosing party or its representatives, (iii) is, after the time of
disclosure, independently developed by the receiving party and not as a result
of disclosure of the Confidential Information by the disclosing party to the
receiving party, (iv) is, after the time of disclosure, acquired in good faith
without any restriction of confidentiality from a third party who is under no
secrecy obligation to the disclosing party with respect thereto which is known
to the receiving party or (v) is no longer treated as confidential by the
disclosing party. The provisions of this Article VI shall be also binding upon
each shareholder of any Special Purpose Shareholder.

                  Section 6.2  SATISFACTION OF CONDITIONS. Each Shareholder
shall cause to be satisfied all conditions to the Initial Capital Contributions
to the extent in the control of such Shareholder.

                                  ARTICLE VII.
                      DEFAULTS, TRIGGER EVENTS AND REMEDIES

                  Section 7.1  DEFAULTS. If any Shareholder:

                  (a) commits a material breach of its obligations under this
Agreement, including its obligations under Section 2.7, which is not cured
within ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof; or

                  (b) shall (i) default on any material Indebtedness which is
not cured within sixty (60) days, have any material indebtedness accelerated or
fail generally to pay its debts as they become due, (ii) admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (iii) commence a
voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding, (iv) consent to, or
acquiesce in, the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding
against it or the entry of a judgment, decree or order for relief against it in
an involuntary case or proceeding, (v) apply for, consent to or acquiesce in the
appointment of or taking possession by a custodian or its business or of any
part of its property, (vi) make a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors or (vii) take any corporate action in furtherance of or to facilitate,
conditionally or otherwise, any of the foregoing; or

                  (c) shall be subject to a judgment, decree or order of court
of competent jurisdiction which (i) is for relief against it in an involuntary
bankruptcy or insolvency case, (ii) appoints a custodian of its business or for
any part of its property or (iii) orders the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs; and such judgment, decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect
for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days; or any bankruptcy or insolvency
petition or application shall be filed, or any bankruptcy case or insolvency
proceeding shall be commenced against it and such petition, application, case or
proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days,

then in the case of any event described in the foregoing subclauses (a), (b) or
(c) (each an "Event of Default") such Shareholder shall for the purposes hereof
be deemed a "Defaulting

                                       39
<PAGE>

Shareholder." Shareholders which are not Defaulting Shareholders shall for the
purposes hereof be deemed "Non-Defaulting Shareholders," and any Non-Defaulting
Shareholder may (and the Company shall) serve notice (a "Default Notice") on a
Defaulting Shareholder of the occurrence of an Event of Default.

                  Each Shareholder agrees that with respect to the payment of
its Additional Capital Contributions, time is of the essence, that any Event of
Default by any Shareholder would cause injury to the Company and to the other
Shareholders and that the amount of damages caused by any such injury would be
extremely difficult to calculate. Accordingly, the Shareholders agree that upon
any Event of Default by a Shareholder at any time, all of the succeeding
provisions of this Article VII shall apply.

                  Section 7.2  TRIGGER EVENTS.

                  (a) If any Carrier Investor (i) becomes an Affiliate of a
Person that, at the time of such Carrier Investor becoming such an Affiliate, is
a Competitor or (ii) sells all or substantially all of its assets to a
Competitor, then, within 45 days after such event, each of the other
Shareholders shall have the right to exercise the remedies of Non-Defaulting
Shareholders under Section 7.4, treating such Carrier Investor as if it were a
Defaulting Shareholder.

                  (b) If any Carrier Investor (i) becomes an Affiliate of a
Person that, at the time of such Carrier Investor becoming such an Affiliate, is
a Competitor or (ii) sells all or substantially all of its assets to a
Competitor and an Event of Default occurs with respect to such Carrier Investor
under Section 7.1(a) caused by the failure of such Carrier Investor to satisfy
its obligations under Section 2.7, then in lieu of all other remedies hereunder,
each of the other Shareholders shall have the right to exercise the remedies of
Non-Defaulting Shareholders under Section 7.4 (computing the 45 day period
referred to in Section 7.4 from the date of the Event of Default), treating such
Carrier Investor as if it were a Defaulting Shareholder, but at a price per
Common Share equal to the lesser of Fair Market Value as calculated under
Section 7.4 or the Subscription Price.

                  (c) As used in this Section 7.2, "Affiliate" shall not
include any Person under common control with a Carrier Investor by virtue of
TCG Holdings, L.L.C., PEP III or PEOP III controlling such Person.

                  Section 7.3  ACTIONS UPON DEFAULT.

                  (a) In the case of a default described by Section 7.1(a) that
is not a default caused by the failure to fund an Additional Capital
Contribution required pursuant to Section 2.7, the Defaulting Shareholder shall
have forty-five (45) days after the receipt of a Default Notice within which to
remedy the breach. During such forty-five (45) day period, the Shareholders
shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the matter to their
mutual satisfaction.

                  (b) In the case of a default described by Section 7.1(a) that
is a default caused by the failure to fund an Additional Capital Contribution
required pursuant to Section 2.7, the Defaulting Shareholder shall have ten (10)
Business Days after the designated Capital Call Date

                                       40
<PAGE>

for such Additional Capital Contribution to fund such Additional Capital
Contribution. If, after such ten (10) day period, the Defaulting Shareholder has
not funded its required Additional Capital Contribution, (i) the Company shall
promptly notify each Non-Defaulting Shareholder of such failure and (ii) any
Non-Defaulting Shareholder shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon
five (5) days prior written notice to the Defaulting Shareholder, to fund its
Pro Rata Share of the unfunded portion of such Additional Capital Contribution
within thirty (30) Business Days after the designated Capital Call Date for such
Additional Capital Contribution. Amounts contributed by a Non-Defaulting
Shareholder pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) shall not be, and shall not be
deemed to be, in respect of or in satisfaction of its Capital Commitment
hereunder.

                  (c) In the case of a default described by Section 7.1(b) or
Section 7.1(c), in the case of a default described by Section 7.1(a) that is
not a default caused by the failure to fund an Additional Capital
Contribution required pursuant to Section 2.7 if at the end of the applicable
forty-five (45) day period the Defaulting Shareholder has not remedied the
default or the matter has not otherwise been settled to the satisfaction of
the Non-Defaulting Shareholders, or in the case of a default described by
Section 7.1(a) that is a default caused by the failure to fund an Additional
Capital Contribution required pursuant to Section 2.7 if at the end of the
applicable ten (10) day period the Defaulting Shareholder has not funded the
required Additional Capital Contribution, the Non-Defaulting Shareholders
upon the vote of Non-Defaulting Shareholders holding a majority of the Shares
held by all Non-Defaulting Shareholders, shall have the right, at their
option, to do any one or more of the following:

                       (i)    seek monetary damages from the Defaulting
                              Shareholder, but only to the extent of the Common
                              Shares owned by the Defaulting Shareholder, valued
                              at Fair Market Value as described in Section 7.4;

                       (ii)   exercise their purchase option pursuant to Section
                              7.4; or

                       (iii)  seek specific enforcement of the Defaulting
                              Shareholder's covenants or obligations under this
                              Agreement or other equitable remedy.

                  (d) In addition to the remedies set forth above, in the
case of a default described in Section 7.1, the Director Designees of the
Defaulting Shareholder shall not vote or count in determining a quorum or
majority for the conduct of any business, and the Common Shares held by such
Defaulting Shareholders be converted in accordance with Section 7.3(e) into
an equal number of Non-Voting Shares.

      (e) In order to effectuate the agreement of the parties set forth in
Sections 4.8(a), 4.8(b) and 7.3(d) in a manner consistent with Luxembourg
law, in the case of a default described in Section 7.1 or a Transfer
described in Section 4.8(a) or 4.8(b), the Company shall make an offer to all
of the Shareholders to convert all of the Common Shares held by the
Shareholders to Non-Voting Shares. Without any action on its part, the
Defaulting Shareholder or the transferor, as the case may be, shall be deemed
to have accepted such offer immediately upon receipt thereof. The
Non-Defaulting Shareholders or non-transferring Shareholders, as the case may
be, shall be deemed to refuse such offer. The parties hereby agree to take
all actions, including holding a Shareholders meeting in accordance with
applicable Luxembourg and executing any document requested by any
Non-Defaulting Shareholders or non-transferring Shareholders, as the case may
be, as are reasonably necessary to effect the conversion of a Defaulting
Shareholder's or transferor's, as the case may be, Common Shares to
Non-Voting Shares.

      (f) By Supermajority Shareholder Approval and subject to the applicable
mandatory provisions of Luxembourg law, Non-Defaulting Shareholders may elect
to cause all Non-Voting Shares to be converted to Common Shares. Upon such
election, the Company shall make an offer to all holders of Non-Voting Shares
to convert all NonVoting Shares to Common Shares. Without any action on its
part, a holder of NonVoting Shares shall be deemed to have accepted such
offer immediately upon receipt thereof. The parties hereby agree to take all
actions, including executing any documents requested by any holder of Common
Shares as are reasonably necessary to effect the conversion of a Defaulting
Shareholder's or transferor's, as the case may be, Non-Voting Shares to
Common Shares.

                  Section 7.4  OPTION OF NON-DEFAULTING SHAREHOLDERS TO PURCHASE
COMMON SHARES.

                  (a) In addition to the remedies set out in Section 7.3, the
Non-Defaulting Shareholders or, at the election of the Non-Defaulting
Shareholders, the Company may, within forty-five (45) days of their being so
entitled pursuant to Sections 7.3(c)(iii), notify the Defaulting Shareholder of
their election to purchase on a pro rata basis, the Common Shares or Non-Voting

                                       41
<PAGE>

Shares (collectively, "Defaulted Shares") owned by the Defaulting Shareholder
for a price in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Defaulted Shares at
the end of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter, which price may be paid
either in cash or by delivery of such Non-Defaulting Shareholder's non-recourse
negotiable promissory note, which shall be secured by a pledge of the Defaulted
Shares purchased from the Defaulting Shareholder, bear interest at 12% per
annum, have a maturity of two (2) years and be subject to mandatory prepayment
upon the occurrence of any secondary public offering or sale of the Company,
whether structured as a sale of stock, merger, recapitalization, sale of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company or otherwise. The Defaulting
Shareholder shall have a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt of such
notice to solicit offers from third parties to purchase for cash or Marketable
Securities such Defaulted Shares and the provisions of Section 4.2 shall apply
with respect to such offer, MUTATIS MUTANDIS. If the Defaulting Shareholder does
not present such an all-cash offer within forty-five (45) days after delivery of
the notice from the Non-Defaulting Shareholders, the Non-Defaulting Shareholders
shall be entitled to proceed with the purchase of the Defaulted Shares on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.4.

                  (b) If the Non-Defaulting Shareholders elect to purchase the
Defaulted Shares owned by the Defaulting Shareholder pursuant to this Section
7.4, the Shareholders will attempt in good faith to determine the Fair Market
Value (on a going concern basis) of the Company and the Defaulted Shares. If the
Shareholders cannot agree on a valuation within thirty (30) days after any
Shareholder exercises its rights under this Section 7.4, then Non-Defaulting
Shareholder holding a majority of Defaulted Shares held by Non-Defaulting
Shareholders will retain an internationally known investment banking firm with
relevant experience to make an independent valuation of the Fair Market Value
(on a going concern basis) of the Company and the Defaulted Shares. The fees and
expenses of such investment banking firm will be borne by the Defaulting
Shareholder. The Defaulting Shareholder shall have the right to retain an
internationally known investment banking firm to make an independent valuation
of the Fair Market Value (on a going concern basis) of the Company and the
Defaulted Shares. The fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be
borne by the Defaulting Shareholder.

                  (c) Each valuation of the Company and Defaulted Shares
pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall take into account all of the relevant facts
and circumstances related to the Company at that time (including the price a
willing buyer would pay and a willing seller would accept in an arms-length
transaction), and shall be completed within one month after the relevant
investment banking firm is retained.

                  (d) If two investment banking firms are retained pursuant to
Section 7.4(b) and the Fair Market Values of the Company and the Defaulted
Shares as determined by such investment banking firms differ by an amount which
is less than or equal to 10%, the Fair Market Value of the Company and the
Defaulted Shares shall be the average of such valuations. If the Fair Market
Values of the Company and the Defaulted Shares as determined by such investment
banking firms differ by an amount which is greater than 10%, such investment
banking firms shall select a third internationally recognized investment banking
firm to determine the Fair Market Value (on a going concern basis) of the
Company and the Defaulted Shares, the fees and expenses of which will be borne
by the Shareholders in accordance with their respective Share Percentages. If
the Fair Market Value of the Company and the Defaulted Shares as determined by
such third

                                       42
<PAGE>

investment banking firm is between the Fair Market Values determined by the
other two investment banking firms, the Fair Market Value of the Company and the
Defaulted Shares shall be the value determined by such third investment banking
firm. If the Fair Market Value of the Company and the Defaulted Shares as
determined by such third investment banking firm is greater than or equal to the
higher of the Fair Market Values of the Company and the Defaulted Shares as
determined by the other two investment banking firms or is less than or equal to
the lower of the Fair Market Values of the Company and the Defaulted Shares as
determined by such other investment banking firms, the Fair Market Value of the
Company and the Defaulted Shares shall be the valuation of the first two firms
which is nearest, in absolute terms, to the valuation of the third investment
banking firms.

                                    DEADLOCK

                  Section 8.1  DEADLOCK. If at any time there is a dispute or
disagreement which results in a Deadlock (as defined below), any Shareholder may
notify each other Shareholder that a Deadlock has occurred (a "Deadlock
Notice"). Each Shareholder agrees that upon delivery or receipt of a Deadlock
Notice, it will use all reasonable efforts to resolve such Deadlock within
fifteen (15) days of the date of the Deadlock Notice. If such Deadlock is not
resolved within such fifteen (15) day period, then any Shareholder may, by
notice to the other Shareholders (the "Triggering Notice"), call a Shareholders
Meeting for the purpose of voting on the matter which is the subject of the
Deadlock. After such Shareholders Meeting, each of the Shareholders shall cause
its Director Designees to vote in favor of any action which received
Supermajority Shareholder Approval at such Shareholders Meeting. "Deadlock"
means, at any time the Board of Directors has an even number of Directors, any
matter requiring approval of the Board of Directors shall not have been approved
by a majority of the Directors but instead shall have been approved by one-half
of the Directors.

the occurrence of any of the following events (each a "Termination Event"):

                  (a) by final, nonappealable court or other governmental order;
or

                  (b) by unanimous vote of the Shareholders.

                  Section 9.2  WINDING-UP. Promptly after the occurrence of a
Termination Event, the Shareholders shall seek to sell all of the issued and
outstanding Common Shares to a buyer or buyers (which may include a Shareholder
or an Affiliate of a Shareholder) in accordance with the Auction provisions of
Section 4.5; provided that all Common Shares shall be sold to such buyer or
buyers at an identical price and on identical terms.

REQUIREMENT TO BECOME A PARTY. Except as set forth in Sections 3.5(h) and 4.8,
if a Shareholder transfers any or all of its Common Shares to any Permitted
Transferee or other Person in compliance with this Agreement, such transferee
shall have the same rights hereunder (including, without limitation, if such
transferee has acquired 100% of such Shareholder's shares, the right to
designate Directors pursuant to Section 3.1) as are given to, and shall be
subject to the same obligations as are imposed upon the Shareholder by the terms
hereof with respect to the Common Shares that are the subject of the Transfer.
If the Shareholder transfers 100% of its Common Shares, such Shareholder shall
cease to have any rights hereunder. No Transfer shall be in compliance with this
Agreement or effective unless made in compliance with Section 4.7.

                  Section 10.3  TERMINATION ON QUALIFIED PUBLIC OFFERING. The
provisions of Sections 2.7, 2.8, 3.1, 3.6, Article IV, Article VII, Article
VIII, and Section 9.2 hereof shall terminate immediately prior to the closing of
a Qualified Public Offering.

                  Section 10.4  OWNER OF COMMON SHARES. The Person in whose name
Common Shares are registered in the Register may be treated as the owner thereof
for all purposes, including without limitation, for the giving of notices under
this Agreement.

                  Section 10.5  TAX ELECTIONS. The Shareholders agree that
Gibraltarco and all of the Company's subsidiaries shall elect to be treated as
partnerships or disregarded as entities separate from their owners for United
States federal income tax purposes, except to the extent that Carlyle and
Providence mutually agree otherwise. Carlyle is hereby authorized to execute and
file on behalf of all such entities such filings, elections, and declarations as

of Incorporation to reflect the terms of this Agreement, so far as permitted by
law. Until such time as the Articles of Incorporation have been amended to
reflect the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail

is not permitted by law, the applicable Memorandum of Articles of Incorporation
shall prevail.

of action, or other interest herein.

any public announcement or statement with respect to this Agreement or the
transaction contemplated hereby without the consent of the other parties hereto,

best efforts to obtain the prior consent of the other parties hereto.

                  Section 10.21  EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may
be executed in one or more counterparts and by one or more parties to any

                          (ii)      An incremental [*] of the Tier II Options
                                    will vest if the Investors have received a
                                    return of [*] on the invested equity
                                    capital.

                           (iii)    An incremental [*] of the Tier II Options
                                    will vest if the Investors have received a
                                    return of [*] on their invested equity
                                    capital.

                           (iv)     An incremental [*] of the Tier II Options
                                    will vest if the Investors have received a
                                    return of [*] on their invested equity
                                    capital.

                           (v)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
                                    will the Tier II Options vest if, at the
                                    time of such Liquidity Event, the Investors
                                    have not achieved a [*] annual IRR on their
                                    invested equity capital.

Liquidity Event:                      Defined as:

                           (i)      A sale of interests representing [*] or more
                                    of the Company. In the event of a sale of
                                    the Company, all vested Tier II Options will
                                    become payable in cash or securities [*]
                                    after the Closing of the transaction.

                           (ii)     The consummation of a qualified initial
                                    public offering. In the event of a qualified
                                    initial public offering, the strike price of
                                    the Tier II Options will be fixed at the
                                    time of the IPO based on the multiples of
                                    invested capital set forth in the foregoing
                                    Accelerated Vesting section.

                                    For example: If Manager receives a total of
                                    [*] Tier II Options and the Investors
                                    average purchase price is [*] per share,
                                    Manager will receive [*] shares at that
                                    price.

[*]   THE CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
      CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND THE OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY
      WITH THE COMMISSION.

                                    The vesting of such options will be adjusted
                                    to match the schedule of the Tier I (Time
                                    Vesting) Options (that is, if Manager has
                                    vested into 40% of the Tier I Options at the
                                    time of the IPO, the Tier II Options will
                                    also become 40% vested).

                                    If Manager resigns or is terminated
                                    as CEO of the Company prior to
                                    a Liquidity Event, Manager will be
                                    entitled to receive a number of Tier II
                                    options equal to the Total Tier II Option
                                    Grant multiplied by a fraction, the
                                    numerator of which is [*], and the
                                    denominator of which is [*].

                                    For example: If Manager receives
                                    a total grant of [*] Tier II Options
                                    and Manager resigns as CEO after
                                    one year, Manager will be entitled to
                                    receive [*] Tier II Options. Assuming the
                                    Investors average purchase price is [*] per
                                    share, Manager will be entitled to receive
                                    [*] shares priced at that same price.

Side-by-Side Investment:            Concurrent with the Initial Funding, Manager
                                    will invest [TBD] on the same terms and
                                    conditions as the Investors' investment.

Employment Agreement:               Prior to Closing, Manager and Hubco will
                                    enter into definitive employment and
                                    non-competition agreements with a minimum of
                                    term of one year.

Management Shareholders             Prior to Closing, Manager, Hubco and the
Agreement:                          Investors will enter into a definitive
                                    management shareholders' agreement
                                    containing customary terms and conditions.

square feet shall be priced at a market rate to be negotiated by the parties.
The Minimum Space Obligation for Strategic Anchor Tenant plus any Elective
Leased Space leased by Strategic Anchor Tenant shall be referred to
collectively as the "Total Leased Space" for Strategic Anchor Tenant with
respect to a particular Facility.

                         (c) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing in this

subsections 3.3(a) and (b) herein do not include taxes charged directly to

party for the development of such a facility (such notice a "ROFR Notice").
HUBCO will notify Strategic Anchor Tenant of whether HUBCO intends to provide
the additional facilities requested within [*] days of receiving the ROFR
Notice. If HUBCO declines to provide such facilities in the city requested, with
the amount of square footage needed and by the requested delivery date and, if
Strategic Anchor Tenant has received a third party offer, upon the material
terms set forth in such third party offer, Strategic Anchor Tenant will be free
to develop its own carrier hotel/collocation facilities in such city, on the
express condition that Strategic Anchor Tenant (i) develops facilities no larger
than the square footage requested in the ROFR Notice and in the location set
forth in such ROFR Notice; (ii) executes and enters into a binding agreement to
develop such facilities within [*] days of HUBCO's declination of the
opportunity to provide the additional facilities requested by Strategic Anchor
Tenant on terms no less favorable in the aggregate to Strategic Anchor Tenant
than those set forth in the third party offer, if any, and (iii) if the facility
contains more than [*] square feet of rentable space, offers to HUBCO the
right to lease space comparable to Raw Space in such additional facilities in an
amount equal to the lesser of (x) [*] of the total rentable area of such
facility and (y) [*] square feet, at a rate per square foot not more than
the lowest rate per square foot paid by any other tenant in such facility.

               3.6 RELOCATION.

                  HUBCO reserves the right, at HUBCO's sole cost, to change the
location or configuration of the Space, provided however, that HUBCO shall not
arbitrarily or discriminatorily require such changes. HUBCO and Strategic Anchor
Tenant shall work in good faith to minimize any disruption in Strategic Anchor
Tenant's use of the Space that may be caused by such changes in location or
configuration of the Space.

               3.7 RIGHT TO MATCH.

                  If at any time after the Effective Date of this Agreement
HUBCO enters into another strategic anchor tenant agreement covering the same
subject matter as this Agreement (such agreement a "Third Party Agreement") then
Strategic Anchor Tenant shall have the right to elect to amend and restate this
Agreement so that the terms and conditions of this Agreement conform in their
entirety with the terms and conditions of the Third Party Agreement. If
Strategic Anchor Tenant makes the election outlined in the foregoing sentence,
Strategic Anchor Tenant shall not have the right to conform this Agreement with
only selected provisions of the Third Party Agreement but must amend and restate
this Agreement to conform with the Third Party Agreement in its entirety.

                             ACCEPTANCE AND TESTING

               8.1 OVERVIEW.

                  Acceptance testing shall be conducted for each Space
("Acceptance Testing") pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Acceptance Testing shall be conducted on a
Space delivered as Raw Space. A Space delivered as Raw Space shall be deemed
Ready for Provisional Acceptance upon its delivery.

               8.2 ACCEPTANCE TESTING.

                         (a) Acceptance Testing shall be performed by HUBCO or a
HUBCO Subsidiary in accordance with Acceptance Testing specifications (the
"Acceptance Testing Specifications") and criteria for accepting Space
("Acceptance Criteria") to be established by HUBCO in consultation with
Strategic Anchor Tenant. The parties hereby agree to negotiate, draft and
establish, in good faith and within [*] days of the execution of this
Agreement, the Acceptance Testing Specifications and Acceptance Criteria. The
Acceptance Testing Specifications and Acceptance Criteria may be amended from
time to time with the approval of Strategic Anchor Tenant, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

                         (b) Strategic Anchor Tenant and its designated
representatives may observe, at their own expense, HUBCO's tests and review the
test results. Strategic Anchor Tenant may request HUBCO to conduct and/or may
itself conduct any additional tests to demonstrate compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the Acceptance Criteria, PROVIDED such
additional tests are conducted in a manner designed to minimize any interference
with, or delay in, HUBCO's construction thereof or completion of HUBCO's
Acceptance Testing. If such additional tests do demonstrate that the provisions
of this Agreement (including the Acceptance Criteria) have been complied with,
then Strategic Anchor Tenant shall be responsible for paying the costs of such
additional tests, and any delay beyond HUBCO's schedule for completion of its
tests caused by such process shall be a Force Majeure. If, however, such
additional tests demonstrate that the provisions of this Agreement or the
Acceptance Criteria have not been complied with, then it shall be HUBCO's
responsibility to pay the costs of such additional tests, and any delay caused
by such process shall not be a Force Majeure.

                         (c) Strategic Anchor Tenant shall not unreasonably
withhold, condition or delay its issuance of a Certificate of Provisional
Acceptance.

                         (d) HUBCO agrees that the Date of Provisional
Acceptance of each Space will occur by the Scheduled RFS Date for such Space.

               8.3 NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION.

                         (a) Within [*] days after receipt by Strategic
Anchor Tenant of a Commissioning Report, Strategic Anchor Tenant must provide to
HUBCO one of the following:

                           (i) issuance of a Certificate of Provisional
                  Acceptance; or

                           (ii) notice of rejection of the Space in its existing
                  condition and a written explanation of its reasons for
                  rejection which rejection shall only be based upon Strategic
                  Anchor Tenant's reasonable determination that the Space has
                  Deficiencies.

         If Strategic Anchor Tenant fails to respond with such notification
         within [*] days, then the Date of Provisional Acceptance of the
         Space shall be deemed to be the date occurring [*] days after such
         Commissioning Report was received by Strategic Anchor Tenant.

                         (b) On receipt of a notice from Strategic Anchor Tenant
pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(ii) above, HUBCO shall be entitled within [*]
business days after receipt thereof to address any disputes and explain any
discrepancies to Strategic Anchor Tenant. Unless Strategic Anchor Tenant, for
good cause, rejects such explanation, it shall issue a new notice pursuant to
Section 8.3(a) above, which shall be deemed to have been issued on the date of
the original notice.

                         (c) In case of rejection, and if the explanation by
HUBCO pursuant to Section 8.3(b) above is not accepted, for good cause, by
Strategic Anchor Tenant, HUBCO shall within [*] business days after notice
from Strategic Anchor Tenant deliver a proposed corrective action plan
(including estimates of the time required for resolution) and shall promptly
carry out the necessary corrective actions and effect the necessary tests to
establish that the corrective action satisfies the Acceptance Criteria
("Retesting"). After receipt by Strategic Anchor Tenant of the new Commissioning
Report describing the corrective action and the results of Retesting, Strategic
Anchor Tenant will be granted a new period of [*] days to analyze the new
Commissioning Report according to the provisions of Section 8.3(a) and any new

               9.1 SURVIVAL.

the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the execution and
delivery of the last Final Tenancy Agreement.

               9.2 SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENT.

                         (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, and to the extent applicable heirs, executors,
administrators and legal representatives.

                         (b) Except as provided in Section 9.2(c), Strategic
Anchor Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of HUBCO, assign this
Agreement or its rights under any Final Tenancy Agreement (any such actions or
similar actions a "Transfer"). HUBCO's consent to a Transfer shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In no event, however, shall HUBCO be required to consent
to a Transfer to a Competitor. Any Transfer made without HUBCO's prior consent
shall, at HUBCO's option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall at HUBCO's
option, constitute a default under this Agreement and the applicable Final
Tenancy Agreement. HUBCO's consent to any Transfer shall not be construed (i) as
a waiver or release of Strategic Anchor Tenant's liability for the performance
of any obligation to be performed under this Agreement or the applicable Final
Tenancy Agreement, or (ii) as relieving Strategic Anchor Tenant from the
obligation of obtaining HUBCO's prior consent to any subsequent Transfer.

                         (c) Notwithstanding Section 9.2(b), Strategic Anchor
Tenant shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, with the consent
of HUBCO (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to collaterally
assign to a financial institution or similar entity the leasehold interest and
estate created in a Space by way of a collateral assignment of lease and to
collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement.

loss, damage, delay or failure of performance resulting directly or indirectly
from any cause which is beyond its reasonable control and which prevents such
party from performing any material obligation ("Force Majeure"), including but
not limited to: acts of God or of the public enemy; acts or failures to act of

                         (b) If any such Force Majeure causes an increase in the
time or costs required for performance of any of its duties or obligations,
HUBCO shall be entitled to an equitable extension of time for completion of the
performance of its obligations and an equitable adjustment in the annual rental
charges to be paid pursuant to Section 3.3 above and the applicable Final
Tenancy Agreement.

notice from either party, the other party may provide a written response.
