------------
(a) Termination by Company for "Cause". In addition to any other
-----------------------------------
remedies which the Company may have at law, in equity, or otherwise, if Employee
engages in (i) fraud, (ii) embezzlement, (iii) any other crime involving moral
turpitude, (iv) gross or willful neglect of duty, (v) material breach of any of
the provisions of this Agreement, on his part to be performed (including
material breach of the representations and warranties of Section 16), (vi) such
conduct as results or as is reasonably likely to result in damage to the
reputation of the Company, or any of the subsidiaries or affiliates of the

Executive Officer or President in writing, and communicated to Employee in
writing, the Company may at any time thereafter terminate Employee's employment
hereunder by written notice to him, effective immediately and the date of the
notice shall be the termination date. Any such termination shall be deemed to be
termination for "cause", for purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement,
and all other documents referencing a for "cause" termination in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the basis for the for
"cause" termination is the reason set forth in subsection (iv), (v), or (viii)
above, then prior to the termination, Employee shall first be given written
notice of the facts or circumstances constituting the determination of "cause"
and up to fifteen (15) calendar days to cure, rectify or reverse such facts or
circumstances. If, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, the
presence of the Employee in the Company's offices during this cure period would
be disruptive to the Company's operations or the operations of its subsidiaries
or would potentially result in the misappropriation or misuse of Confidential
Information (as defined below), then the opportunity to cure shall take place
outside of the Company's offices. If the Employee is permitted in the Company's
offices during the cure period and the Employee disrupts the Company's
operations or the operations of its subsidiaries or misappropriates or misuses
of Confidential Information then the cure period shall immediately end and the
3
Company may at any time thereafter terminate Employee's employment hereunder by
written notice to him, effective immediately and the date of the notice shall be
the termination date.
Upon the early termination of Employee's employment under this
Agreement by the Company for "cause," the Company shall pay to Employee: (i) an
amount equal to Employee 's Base Salary accrued through the effective date of
termination at the rate in effect at the time of termination, payable at the
time such payment is due; and (ii) any expense reimbursement amounts accrued to
the effective date of termination, payable on the effective date of termination.
Upon payment of such amounts, the Company shall have no further obligation to
Employee under this Agreement, and Employee shall have no further rights under
this Agreement. Upon the early termination of Employee 's employment under this
Agreement by the Company for "cause," a percentage of the Shares issued in the
name of the Employee in connection with the Merger (the "Employee Shares") shall
be forfeited and surrendered to VDC for cancellation as set forth in Section
5(e).
(b) Termination by Company without "Cause". At any time, the
-------------------------------------------
Company may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason other than for
"cause" upon five (5) calendar days written notice to the Employee. Upon the
early termination of the Employee 's employment under this Agreement by the
Company "without cause," the Company shall pay to the Employee : (i) an amount
equal to the Employee 's Base Salary accrued through the effective date of
termination at the rate in effect at the time of termination, payable at the
time such payment is due; and (ii) any expense reimbursement amounts accrued to
the effective date of termination, payable on the effective date of termination.
Upon payment of such amounts, the Company shall have no further obligation to
Employee under this Agreement, and Employee shall have no further rights under
this Agreement.
(c) Death of Employee. This Agreement shall automatically
------------------
terminate upon the death of Employee. Upon the early termination of this
Agreement as a result of death, the Company shall pay the Employee's estate: (i)
an amount equal to the Employee 's Base Salary accrued through the effective
date of termination at the rate in effect at the effective date of termination,
payable at the time such payment is due; and (ii) any expense reimbursement
amounts accrued to the effective date of termination, payable on the effective
date of termination. Upon payment of such amounts, the Company shall have no
further obligation to Employee under this Agreement, and Employee shall have no
further rights under this Agreement.
(d) Termination by Employee. At any time after the six month
------------------------
anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Employee may terminate this
Agreement by giving at least thirty (30) calendar days' prior written notice to
the Company. Upon the early termination of Employee 's employment under this
Agreement by the Employee pursuant to this Section, a percentage of the Employee
Shares shall be forfeited and surrendered to VDC for cancellation as set forth
in Section 5(e).
(e) Forfeiture of Shares. IF THE EMPLOYEE IS TERMINATED FOR
---------------------
"CAUSE" (PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(A).), RESIGNS FROM EMPLOYMENT (PURSUANT TO
SECTION 5(D)), OR BREACHES A MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT (ANY SUCH EVENT
CONSTITUTING A "DEFAULT EVENT"), THEN THE EMPLOYEE SHALL FORFEIT (AND SAID
4
SHARES SHALL BE SURRENDERED TO VDC FOR CANCELLATION) A PERCENTAGE OF THE
EMPLOYEE SHARES AS FOLLOWS: (A) 50% IF THE DEFAULT EVENT OCCURS WITHIN THE FIRST
ONE YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE TIME; (B) 33% IF THE DEFAULT EVENT
OCCURS WITHIN THE SECOND ONE YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE TIME; AND (C)
20% IF THE DEFAULT EVENT OCCURS WITHIN THE THIRD ONE YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING THE
EFFECTIVE TIME. TO THE EXTENT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH EMPLOYEE SHARES BEING HELD IN
ESCROW PURSUANT TO THE ESCROW AGREEMENT TO COVER THE FORFEITURES ABOVE, THEN,
WITHIN FIVE (5) CALENDAR DAYS OF RECEIVING NOTICE OF THIS FACT FROM THE COMPANY,
THE EMPLOYEE SHALL DELIVER ADDITIONAL VDC SHARES TO VDC FOR CANCELLATION TO
COVER ANY SUCH DEFICIENCY. FOR PURPOSES OF THE PERCENTAGE CALCULATIONS ABOVE,
ALL FRACTIONS SHALL BE ROUNDED UP. THE EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE
FORFEITURE OF SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION IS IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER
REMEDIES WHICH THE COMPANY MAY HAVE AT LAW, IN EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE.
6. Covenant Not to Compete.
------------------------
(a) The Employee recognizes and acknowledges: (i) that the
execution of this Agreement containing the following Covenant Not to Compete was
a condition precedent to the closing of the Merger and the Company would not
have consummated said Merger without the same; and (ii) that the Company is
placing its confidence and trust in the Employee. The Employee , therefore,
covenants and agrees that during the Applicable Non-Compete Period (as defined
below), the Employee shall not, either directly or indirectly, without the prior
written consent of the Board of Directors: (i) engage in or carry on any
business which is similar to or is in competition with the Business of the
Company (as such term is used and defined below); (ii) be or become an employee,
agent, consultant, representative, director or officer of any person, firm,
corporation, association or other entity which is engaged in or is carrying on
any business which is similar to or in competition with the Business of the
Company; (iii) solicit for employment or employ any person employed by the
Company (or its subsidiaries) at any time during the 12-month period immediately
preceding such solicitation or employment; or (iv) be or become a shareholder,
joint venturer, owner (in whole or in part), partner, or be or become associated
with or have any proprietary or financial interest in or of any firm,
corporation, association or other entity which is engaged in or is carrying on
any business which is similar to or in competition with the Business of the
Company. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence above, the following shall not
be deemed to violate this Section 6:
(i) passive equity investments by Employee of
$10,000 or less in any entity or affiliated group of any entity which is engaged
in or is carrying on any business which is similar to or in competition with the
Business of the Company;
(ii) passive equity investments by Employee in
excess of $25,000 in any entity or affiliated group of any entity which is
engaged in or is carrying on any business which is similar to or in competition
with the Business of the Company, so long as and only to the extent that
Employee has obtained the prior written consent of the Company to make such
investments; or
5
(iii) an equity investment by Employee of up to 1% in
any publicly traded company which is engaged in or is carrying on any business
which is similar to or in competition with the Business of the Company.
(b) As used in this Agreement, the term "Business of the Company"
shall include all material business activities in which the Company and its
subsidiaries are engaged now which includes, but is not limited to,
international and domestic (i.e. in the United States) long distance
telecommunications services.
(c) Employee hereby recognizes and acknowledges that the existing
Business of the Company extends throughout the United States and therefore
agrees that the covenants not to compete contained in this Section 6 shall be
applicable in and throughout the United States, as well as throughout such
additional areas, states or countries in which the Company may be (or has
prepared written plans to be) doing business as of the date of termination of
the Employee 's employment hereunder. Employee further warrants and represents
that, because of his varied skill and abilities, he does not need to compete
with the Business of the Company and that this Agreement will not prevent him
from earning a livelihood and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
this Section 6 constitute reasonable protections for the Company.
(d) As used in this Section 6, "Applicable Non-Compete Period"
shall mean all periods of employment hereunder and that period of two (2) years
following the termination of Employee 's employment hereunder.
7. Trade Secrets and Confidential Information. Employee recognizes
------------------------------------------------
and acknowledges that certain information including, without limitation,
information pertaining to the financial condition of the Company, its systems,
methods of doing business, agreements with customers or suppliers or other
aspects of the Business of the Company or which is sufficiently secret to derive
economic value from not being disclosed or customer confidential personal
information (including, without limitation, credit card and banking account
data) ("Confidential Information") may be made available or otherwise come into
the possession of the Employee by reason of his employment with the Company.
Accordingly, the Employee agrees that he will not at any time disclose any
Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other
entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever or make use to his personal
advantage or to the advantage of any third party, of any Confidential
Information, without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. The
Employee shall, upon termination of employment, return to the Company all
documents which reflect Confidential Information (including copies thereof).
Notwithstanding anything heretofore stated in this Section 7, the Employee 's
obligations under this Section 7 shall not, after termination of the Employee 's
employment with the Company, apply to information which has become generally
available to the public without any action or omission of the Employee (except
that any Confidential Information which is disclosed to any third party by an
employee or representative of the Company who is not authorized to make such
disclosure shall be deemed to remain confidential and protectable by the
Employee under this Section 7).
8. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term of this
-------------
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
any of its other terms; in the event that any court or arbitrator determines
that the time period and/or scope of any paragraph or section of this Agreement
6
is unenforceably long or broad, as the case may be, then, and in either such
event, neither the enforceability nor the validity of said paragraph or section
as a whole or the Agreement as a whole shall be affected. Rather, the scope of
the section shall be revised by the court or arbitrator as little as possible to
make the section enforceable. If the court or arbitrator will not revise said
paragraph or section, then this Agreement shall be construed as though the
invalid or unenforceable term(s) were not included herein.
9. Breach. The Employee hereby recognizes and acknowledges that
-------
irreparable injury or damage shall result to the Company in the event of a
breach or threatened breach by the Employee of any of the terms of provisions
Section 6 or 7 hereunder, and the Employee therefore agrees that the Company
shall be entitled to an injunction (without posting bond) restraining Employee
from engaging in any activity constituting such breach or threatened breach.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from
pursuing any other remedies available to the Company at law, in equity, or
otherwise for breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, including but not
limited to, the recovery of damages from the Employee and, if the Employee is an
employee of the Company, the termination of his employment with the Company in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
10. Arbitration
-----------
(a) Arbitration Disclosures. (i) arbitration is usually final
-------------------------
and binding on the parties and subject to only very limited review by a court;
(ii) the parties are waiving their right to litigate in court, including their
right to a jury trial; (iii) pre-arbitration discovery is generally more limited
and different from court proceedings; (iv) any party's right to appeal or to
seek modification of rulings by arbitrators is strictly limited; and (v) a panel
of arbitrators might include an arbitrator who is or was affiliated with the
telecommunications industry.
(b) Arbitration. All controversies or claims arising out of or
------------
relating to this Agreement, or arising out of or relating to the employment
contemplated herein, or the termination thereof, shall be determined by binding

American Arbitration Association applicable to the Commercial Panel, except that
there shall only be one (1) arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted at
Acquiror's offices in Greenwich, Connecticut, or at such other location
designated by Acquiror. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and
binding upon the parties, shall include written findings of law and fact, and
judgment may be obtained thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each
party shall bear the cost of preparing and presenting its own case (except as
provided for in Section 4 of the Escrow Agreement). The cost of the arbitration,
including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by
the parties thereto unless the award otherwise provides (except as provided for
in Section 4 of the Escrow Agreement). Nothing herein shall preclude a party
from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of
the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or otherwise to obtain
specific performance of any such covenant or agreement, without the necessity of
posting bond or security in connection therewith.
11. Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,

each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered
by exchange of facsimile copies showing the signatures of the parties, and those
signatures need not be affixed to the same copy. The facsimile copies showing
the signatures of the parties will constitute originally signed copies of the
Agreement requiring no further execution.
13. Waiver. The failure of either party at any time or times to require
-------
performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a
later time to enforce the same. To be effective, any waiver must be contained in
a written instrument signed by the party waiving compliance by the other party
of the term or covenant as specified. The waiver by either party of the breach
of any term or covenant contained herein, whether by conduct or otherwise, in
any one or more instances, shall not be deemed to be, or construed as, a further
or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other
term or covenant contained in this Agreement.
14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
--------------
State of New Jersey without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

--------------------
exclusive agreement between the parties hereto which supersedes all proposals,

the subject matter contained herein. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Agreement supersedes and renders null and void any employment or consulting
agreement the Employee had with Rare Telephony or its subsidiaries (or all of
their predecessors) prior to the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement shall not supersede the Merger Agreement or the Schedules or Exhibits
thereto or the Escrow Agreement. No change or modification of this Agreement

parties hereto.
