Dear Sirs:
As I have indicated in connection with FirstCom's extension of my
employment agreement, I agree to vote the shares of FirstCom that I own in favor
of the Merger that is the subject of the Agreement and Plan of Merger executed
today and to work with you to bring the Merger to a successful conclusion.
In addition, so long as I am employed by FirstCom, I will not sell my
shares in a private sale or a sale pursuant to my registration rights. I may
make, however, some contributions to family trusts.
Very truly yours,
/s/ XXXXXXX X. XXXX XX
