2. Term. The employment hereunder shall be for a period of one year year, commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of such date (the “Employment Period”). Unless either party elects not to extend the term of this Agreement by so notifying the other in writing at least 30 days prior to the first anniversary of the Original Effective Date and each anniversary thereafter, the Employment Period shall automatically extend for an additional one year upon each such anniversary. Parker’s employment will be on a full-time basis requiring the devotion of such amount of his productive time as is necessary for the efficient operation of the Business of the Company.

The Company agrees to negotiate in good faith a new Annual Cash Incentive Plan for each year of Parker’s employment subsequent to Fiscal 2009. If the Company fails to negotiate a new Cash Incentive Plan for any year after Fiscal 2009, then the Annual Cash Incentive in effect for the preceding year will govern. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Annual Cash Incentive, to the extent payable for any fiscal year of the Company, will be paid no later than the 15^th day of the third month following the end of the fiscal year of the Company to which the Annual Cash Incentive relates.

The parties incorporate the terms of Exhibit A attached hereto regarding equity grants, provided however, that upon any Change in Control of the Company as defined in Section 4 of this Agreement or if Parker’s employment is terminated under Sections 5.1(b), (d) or (e) of this Agreement, any of Parker’s equity grants that have not yet vested will vest immediately.

4. Change of Control. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change of Control” shall mean a change in the beneficial ownership of the Company’s voting stock pursuant to which:

(a) any “person,” including a “syndicate” or “group” as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding “Voting Securities,” which is any security that ordinarily possesses the power to vote in the election of the board of directors of a corporation without the happening of any precondition or contingency; or

(b) the Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation and immediately after giving effect to the merger or consolidation less than 40% of the outstanding Voting Securities of the surviving or resulting entity are then beneficially owned in the aggregate by either the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, or, if a record date has been set to determine the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote on such merger or consolidation, the shareholders of the Company as of such record date; or

(c) the Company transfers substantially all of its assets to another corporation, other than a corporation of which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, at least 40% of the combined voting power of such corporation’s outstanding voting securities.

(f) By Parker Without Cause: Parker may terminate his employment for any reason upon the furnishing of at least 30 days’ advance written notice to the Board.

As used herein, “Adverse Change in Duties” means an action or series of actions taken by the Company, without Parker’s prior written consent, that results in:

(4) A material diminution in the budget over which Parker retains authority; and

Such severance amount shall be paid in a single lump sum.

(c) The Company shall have the right to offset against any damages resulting from a breach by Parker of Section 5.3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, in which case, such offset shall be applied in full against the payments remaining to be paid to Parker, from earliest to latest, and then to recover any amounts previously paid.

5.3 Restrictive Covenants. Upon termination of Parker’s employment hereunder for any reason, Parker agrees that for the one-year period following the termination of employment, Parker will not:

(a) directly or indirectly, within a ten-mile radius of Parker’s office at the Company, whether for his own account or as an individual, employee, director, consultant or advisor, or in any other capacity whatsoever, provide services that are substantially similar to the services he provided to the Company to any person, firm, corporation or other business enterprise that competes with the Business of the Company, unless he obtains the prior written consent of the Board;

(b) directly or indirectly encourage or solicit, or attempt to encourage or solicit, on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or other business enterprise that competes with the Business of the Company, any individual to leave the Company’s employ for any reason or interfere in any other manner with the employment relationships at the time existing between the Company and its current or prospective employees; or

4

(c) induce or attempt to induce, on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or other business enterprise that competes with the Business of the Company, any provider, payor, customer, supplier, distributor, licensee or other business relation of the Company with whom Parker dealt at any time during the two-year period preceding his termination of employment to cease doing business with the Company or in any way interfere with the existing business relationship between any such customer, supplier, distributor, licensee or other business relation described above and the Company.

Parker acknowledges that monetary damages will not be sufficient to compensate the Company for any economic loss that may be incurred by reason of breach of the foregoing restrictive covenants. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach, the Company shall, in addition to any remedies available to the Company at law, be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of an injunction precluding Parker from continuing to engage in such breach.

In the event that any of the foregoing restrictive covenants are too broad to be enforceable, the parties request and agree that they may be reduced to such lesser breadth as may be necessary to make them enforceable. The covenants in this Section 5.3 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other agreement between the parties. Parker agrees that the existence of any claim or cause of action of Parker against the Company, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of these covenants.

6. Confidentiality and Other Agreements. Parker will continue to be bound by the terms of any confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and assignment of intellectual property rights agreements previously entered into between Parker and the Company.

7. General Provisions.

7.1 Assignment. Parker may not assign or delegate any of his rights or obligations under this Agreement. The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any successor to the Company through merger, consolidation, sale or the like.

7.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements between the parties relating to such subject matter.

7.3 Modifications. This Agreement may be changed or modified only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

7.4 Successors and Assigns. The rights and duties under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees, assigns and transferees by operation of law, whether or not any such person or entity shall have become a party to this Agreement and have agreed in writing to join and be bound by the terms and conditions hereof.

7.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia.

7.6 Severability; Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered in connection herewith is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement (the “Offending Provision”), the Offending Provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if

5

the Offending Provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the Offending Provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of the Offending Provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to the Offending Provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

7.7 Further Assurances. The parties will execute such further instruments and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

7.8 Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed received by the recipient when delivered personally or, if mailed, five (5) days after the date of deposit in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid and addressed, in the case of the Company, to:

6025 The Corners Parkway
Suite 100
Norcross, Georgia 30092

and, in the case of Parker, to:

c/o EasyLink Services International Corporation
6025 The Corners Parkway
Suite 100
Norcross, Georgia 30092

or to such other address as either party may later specify by at least ten (10) days’ advance written notice delivered to the other party in accordance herewith.

7.9 No Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision, nor prevent that party thereafter from subsequently enforcing that provision of any other provision of this Agreement.

7.10 Legal Fees and Expenses. In the event of any disputes under this Agreement, each party shall be responsible for his or its own legal fees and expenses that may be incurred in resolving such dispute.

7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

7.12 Omnibus 409A Provision. This Agreement is intended to be exempt from treatment as deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance therewith. All rights to payments under this Agreement shall be treated as rights to receive a series of separate payments to the fullest extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Company shall not be liable to Parker or any other person if the Internal Revenue Service or any court or other authority having jurisdiction over such matter determines for any reason that any payment under this Agreement is subject to taxes, penalties or interest as a result of failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, if Parker is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), and any payments hereunder are not otherwise exempt from Section 409A of the Code, then, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A

6

of the Code, no payments may be made hereunder before the date which is six months after the date of Parker’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or, if earlier the date of Parker’s death. Because the amounts payable hereunder will be made in all events no later than the 15^th day of the third month following the end of (i) the calendar year or (ii) the fiscal year of the Company in which Parker terminates employment, whichever is later, then all amounts payable hereunder should be exempt from Section 409A of the Code as a short-term deferral. Consequently, this “specified employee” six-month delay provision will only be applicable if it is subsequently determined that the amounts to be paid pursuant to this Agreement are not exempt from Section 409A of the Code. For purposes hereof, termination of employment shall be read to mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code where it is reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after such date or that the level of bona fide services Parker would perform after that date (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written
