2.4 Cessation of Compensation. In lieu of any severance under any severance plan that the Company may then have in effect, and subject to (i) the receipt of a full and unconditional release from Employee and (ii) any amounts owed by the Employee to the Company under any contract, agreement or loan document entered into after the date hereof which relates solely to his or her employment with the Company (including, but not limited to, loans made by the Company to the Employee), the Company shall pay to the Employee, and the Employee shall be entitled to receive, the following amounts within thirty (30) days of the date of a termination of his or her employment:

For the avoidance of doubt, the Severance Period shall in no case be less than six (6) months even if the remaining term of Employment is less than six (6) months. In addition, Employee shall be entitled to payment by the Company of the premiums for group health insurance coverage otherwise payable by Employee under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) for the Severance Term. It shall be a condition to Employee’s right to receive the payments described above that Employee shall be in compliance with all of the Employee’s obligations which survive termination hereof, including without limitation those arising under Articles IV and V hereof. The payments described above are intended to be in lieu of all other payments to which Employee might otherwise be entitled in respect of termination of Employee’s employment without Cause unless otherwise required by law or under other agreements between the parties.

2.6 Sole Compensation. Employee shall not be entitled to any other compensation from the Company than as set forth in Article II hereof as a result of termination of Employee’s employment.

ARTICLE IV

CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT

4.1 Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the duties and services to be performed by Employee under this Agreement are special and unique and that as of a result of the employment hereunder, Employee may acquire, develop and use information of a special and unique nature and value that is not generally known to the public or to the Company’s industry, including but not limited to, certain records, phone locations, documentation, software programs, data bases of the Company or its Affiliates, including without limitation, the Magenta data base, proprietary information, price lists, contract prices for purchase and sale of telephone access and telephone services, customer lists, prospect lists, pricing on business proposals to new and existing customers, network configuration, supplier pricing, equipment configurations, business plans, ledgers and general information, employee records, mailing lists, accounts receivable and payable ledgers, financial and other records of the Company or its Affiliates, and other similar matters (all such information being hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information”). Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information is of great value to the Company and its Affiliates and that the restrictions and agreements contained in this Agreement are reasonably necessary to protect the Confidential Information and the goodwill of the Company. Accordingly, Employee hereby agrees that:

(a) Employee will not, while employed by the Company or at any time thereafter, directly or indirectly, except in connection with Employee’s performance of the duties under this Agreement, or as otherwise authorized in writing by the Company for the benefit of the Company, divulge to any person, firm, corporation, limited liability company, or organization, other than the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Third Parties”), or use or cause or authorize any Third Parties to use, the Confidential Information, except as required by law; and

5

(b) Upon the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason whatsoever, Employee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company any and all Confidential Information or documents containing Confidential Information, including notes, drawings, notebooks, notes, records, keys, data and other documents and materials belonging to the Company or its affiliates which is in his or her possession or under his or her control relating to the Company or its affiliates, regardless of the medium upon which it is stored, and will deliver to the Company upon such termination of employment any other property of the Company or its Affiliates which is in his or her possession or control.

4.2 Non-Solicitation Covenant. Employee hereby covenants and agrees that while employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year following the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason, Employee shall not (i) directly or indirectly, solicit, interfere with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company or its Affiliates any person, firm, corporation, limited liability company or other entity that was a customer of the Company at any time while Employee was an employee of the Company or its Affiliates or who is a “prospective customer” of the Company, or (ii) induce, attempt to induce or hire any employee (or any person who was an employee during the year preceding the date of any solicitation) of the Company or its Affiliates to leave the employ of the Company or its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such employee and the Company or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this clause (ii) shall not prohibit Employee, after termination of Employee’s employment with Company, from retaining a former employee of Company if the former Employee first approached Employee concerning the possibility of working for Employee. For purposes hereof, “prospective customer” shall mean any person or entity which has been solicited for business by Employee or any officer or other employee of the Company during the one year period preceding the date of termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, or if Employee is still employed by the Company within the one year period preceding the event in question.

4.3 Non-Competition Covenant. Employee acknowledges that the covenants set forth in this Section 4.3 are reasonable in scope and essential to the preservation of the Business of the Company (as defined herein). Employee also acknowledges that the enforcement of the covenant set forth in this Section 4.3 will not preclude Employee from being gainfully employed in such manner and to the extent as to provide a standard of living for himself or herself, the members of his or her family and the others dependent upon Employee of at least the level to which Employee and they have become accustomed and may expect. In addition, Employee acknowledges that the Company has obtained an advantage over its competitors as a result of its name, location and reputation that is characterized by near permanent relationships with vendors, customers, principals and other contacts which it has developed at great expense. Furthermore, Employee acknowledges that competition by him or her following the termination or expiration of his or her employment would impair the operation of the Company beyond that which would arise from the competition of an unrelated third party with similar skills. Employee hereby agrees that he shall not, during his or her employment and for a period of one (1) year after the end of his or her employment, directly or indirectly, engage in or become directly or indirectly interested in any proprietorship, partnership, firm, trust, company, limited liability company or other entity, other than the Company (whether as owner, partner, trustee, beneficiary, stockholder, member, officer, director, employee, independent contractor, agent, servant, consultant, lessor, lessee or otherwise) that competes with the Company in the Business of the Company in the Restricted Territory (as defined herein), other than owning an interest in a company listed on a recognized stock exchange in an amount which does not exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of such corporation. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term “Business of the Company” shall include all business activities and ventures related to providing telecommunications services or products in which Global Capacity Group, Inc. is engaged, plans to engage in the next twelve (12) months following termination of Employee’s employment or has engaged in during the prior twelve (12) months, as determined at any time during the employment of the Employee; and (ii) the term “Restricted Territory” means the geographical area consisting of a seventy mile radius surrounding each city (and including such city) in which the Company maintains either an office or a telecommunications facility.

4.4 Remedies.

(a) Injunctive Relief. Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Business of the Company is highly competitive and that a violation of any of the provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 would cause immediate and irreparable harm, loss and damage to the Company not adequately compensable by a monetary award. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the time periods and territorial areas provided for herein are the minimum necessary to adequately protect the Business of the Company, the enjoyment of the Confidential Information and the goodwill of the Company. Without limiting any of the other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, or the Company’s right or ability to collect money damages, Employee agrees that any actual or threatened violation of any of the provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 may be immediately restrained or enjoined by any court of competent jurisdiction, and that a temporary restraining order or emergency, preliminary or final injunction may be issued in any court of competent jurisdiction, without notice and without bond.

(b) Enforcement. It is the desire of the parties that the provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies in each jurisdiction in which enforcement might be sought. Accordingly, if any particular portion of Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 shall ever be adjudicated as invalid or unenforceable, or if the application thereof to any party or circumstance shall be adjudicated to be prohibited by or invalidated by such laws or public policies, such section or sections shall be (i) deemed amended to delete therefrom such portions so adjudicated or (ii) modified as determined appropriate by such a court, such deletions or modifications to apply only with respect to the operation of such section or sections in the particular jurisdictions so adjudicating on the parties and under the circumstances as to which so adjudicated.
