(a) The Parties agree that after the Closing Date the GCT Group shall be - ----- the IPC Group's Preferred Provider (as defined below) of all of the IPC Group's internal requirements worldwide for Network Services. (i) When used herein, provisions to the effect that GCT or the GCT Group will be the "Preferred Provider" with respect to any ------------------ Network Services required by the IPC Group for its internal purposes means that (a) the IPC Group will always first request the GCT Group to furnish such Network Services, (b) the GCT Group will offer to furnish such Network Services to the extent practical and available and (c) the IPC Group will utilize the GCT Group for such Network Services to the extent the GCT Group provides any such Network Services required by the IPC Group, unless the IPC Group is able to enter into a Superior Arrangement for such Network Services. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, neither GCT nor the GCT Group shall be the Preferred Provider for any specific Network Service, nor shall the IPC Group be obligated to utilize the GCT Group to provide such Network Service during any period that the GCT Group is in material breach under the MSA relating to such Network Service and the GCT Group has not been able to cure such breach in a period of sixty (60) days from the occurrence of such breach (the "Breach Period"); ------------- provided, however, that during the Breach Period the IPC Group shall be permitted to obtain such Network Services from any other provider, it being understood that if the GCT Group cures such breach prior to the expiration of the Breach Period, then the IPC Group's right to obtain such Network Services from another provider shall terminate; provided further, that the GCT Group shall not be deemed to be in breach and the Breach Period shall not begin to toll if the failure to deliver such Network Service has been caused by the failure of a local exchange carrier ("LEC") to timely complete a local connection with respect to --- which the GCT Group has on a timely basis requested that the LEC provide. (ii) A "Superior Arrangement" for any Network Service means -------------------- that the IPC Group has a bona fide offer to enter into an arrangement for the provision of such Network Service (i) with a company that is qualified, reputable and reliable and (ii) such other company is offering to provide such Network Service comparable to such Network Service offered by the GCT Group on terms that are materially more favorable to the IPC Group in its reasonable judgment than those offered by the GCT Group, when such terms are considered in their totality. In comparing a proposed offer for a Superior Arrangement to a Network Service or Services provided by the GCT Group to determine if a Superior Arrangement exists, all terms must be considered, including, but not limited to, price, delivery terms and schedule, payment terms, functionality, volume, coverage, technology and/or additional offered enhancements. Upon receipt of a bona fide proposal in writing for a Superior Arrangement for any Network Service, the IPC Group will promptly provide the GCT Group a summary of the terms and conditions of such offer and allow GCT an opportunity to review such proposed Superior Arrangement. Within five (5) business days after receipt by the GCT Group of such document, the GCT Group may at its option (1) offer substantially comparable terms (when taken as a whole) to the proposed Superior Arrangement, (2) decline to meet such offer, or (3) object to the IPC 5 Group's characterization of such offer as a Superior Arrangement, in which case the parties shall promptly meet to discuss and resolve such objections in a timely manner. In the event that the GCT Group fails within five (5) business days to (1) offer substantially comparable terms (when taken as a whole) to the proposed Superior Arrangement, (2) decline to meet such offer, or (3) object to the IPC Group's characterization of such offer as a Superior Arrangement, the IPC Group may accept the Superior Arrangement; provided, however, that the IPC Group may accept a proposal for a Superior Arrangement for a select Network Service only if the sum of all payments to the provider of such select Network Service (together with any other payments to all providers of select Network Services for such services) and payments to third parties pursuant to Section 2.1(b) would not exceed seventeen and one-half percent (17.5%) in the aggregate of the IPC Group's gross annual expenditures for such year for all Network Services; provided further, that for purposes of calculating the aforementioned percentage, payments made by the IPC Group for (1) Network Services required as a result of the GCT Group's failure to comply with its obligations to provide such Network Services pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of an existing MSA), or (2) to other providers of Network Services during the Breach Period, will not be taken into account. For as long as this Article II is in effect, the IPC Group shall deliver a certificate on December 31 of each year certifying its compliance with the percentage limitation set forth in this Section 2.1(a)(ii). The GCT Group shall have the right to request reasonable additional information and documentation from the IPC Group with respect to such compliance. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that if the IPC Group requires Network Services which do not comply with an American National Standards Institute ("ANSI") ---- standard or a commercially recognized Internet Engineering Task Force ("IETF") Request For Comment ("RFC") and the GCT Group does not, at the ---- --- time of a request therefor, provide such services, then the Parties shall work together in good faith to agree on commercially reasonable specifications for such requested Network Services. The Parties further agree that if they are unable to agree upon commercially reasonable specifications, then the IPC Group shall have the right to contract for the provision of such Network Services with a provider of Network Services other than the GCT Group. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the IPC Group shall not be prohibited from entering into an agreement or arrangement with a provider of Network Services other than the GCT Group (i) for the purpose of establishing network redundancies and/or other backup or failsafe measures to ensure the continuous operations of any telecommunications or networking systems of the IPC Group or (ii) where there is a significant business risk associated with utilizing a single provider for any Network Services. (c) All Network Services requirements of the IPC Group shall be effected by the Master Services Agreement (the "Master Services Agreement" or ------------------------- "MSA") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and by --- supplemental order forms thereto (with appropriate modifications to reflect any local regulatory requirements). The Parties are executing and delivering the MSA concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Master Service Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Changes or enhancements to existing 6 Network Services products, or new products shall be made available to the IPC Group upon execution of an amendment or supplement (in the form of a product appendix) to the MSA. 2.2 Use of Network Services by the IPC Group. Subject to Article III, the ---------------------------------------- IPC Group shall hold Network Services purchased or otherwise obtained by it pursuant to this Agreement solely for its own use, and such Network Services shall not be resold, leased or otherwise disposed of. If any IPC Group customer wishes to acquire a service offered by the GCT Group, such customer may be referred to the GCT Group in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1. 2.3 Pricing Terms for Network Services. Prices for Network Services ---------------------------------- purchased from the GCT Group shall be comparable to the lowest prices charged by the GCT Group to its other customers, other than its affiliates, in the same geographic area for Network Services, which are substantially similar in their nature, terms and conditions and features, including, for example, price, delivery terms and schedule, payment terms, functionality, volume or amount, coverage, technology and/or additional offered enhancements. ARTICLE III - ----------- 3.1 Channel Sales to the IPC Group's Customers. (a) The GCT Group hereby ------------------------------------------ grants to the IPC Group the non-exclusive right to market or resell or offer as part of a Packaged Service Offering (as defined below) the GCT Group's Channel Network Services to the IPC Group's customers upon the terms and subject to conditions set forth herein. A "Packaged Service Offering" shall mean a package ------------------------- of products and / or services of the IPC Group and Channel Network Services offered on a combined basis to a customer in connection with the operation of the Business (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). (b) The IPC Group agrees that it shall at its discretion recommend the GCT Group's Channel Network Services to the IPC Group's customers (such customers hereinafter referred to as "Channel Customers"). The IPC Group agrees ----------------- that it will not recommend any telecommunications service provider other than the GCT Group to customers of the IPC Group, except (i) upon the specific request of any customer for a telecommunications service provider other than the GCT Group, (ii) if upon receipt by the GCT Group of a request to provide Channel Network Services, the GCT Group does not, within five (5) business days after receipt of the request, notify the IPC Group that it is able and willing to provide such Channel Network Services, or (iii) if the GCT Group is unable to provide such Channel Network Services at competitive rates. In connection with the provision of Channel Network Services, the GCT Group agrees that it will promptly negotiate in good faith a Master Services Agreement with each such Channel Customer on substantially similar terms with a similarly situated customer. (c) The Parties agree to work together in good faith and to collaborate with respect to potential joint sales and marketing opportunities. The Parties shall each designate a Representative to act as a coordinator for communication between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement. (d) The Parties will cooperate to ensure that each Channel Network Service marketed to any Channel Customer is appropriate to such Channel Customer's requirements. 7 (e) The IPC Group shall submit all Channel Customer requests and orders to purchase Channel Network Services to the Representative of the GCT Group for review and acceptance by the GCT Group. The IPC Group acknowledges that it is authorized to receive, but is not authorized to "accept" or otherwise contractually bind the GCT Group with respect to customer offers to purchase the Channel Network Services. (f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1(j), all costs and expenses incurred by the IPC Group in marketing Channel Network Services under this Agreement, including, by way of example only, rentals, salaries, telephone, travel and living expenses (including, without limitation, those incurred by the IPC Group's employees in connection with any GCT Group training session) and other marketing and sales expenses shall be borne by the IPC Group and shall not be reimbursed by the GCT Group. (g) The IPC Group shall not use any materials referencing the GCT Group or the Channel Network Services that have not been approved in writing by the GCT Group. The IPC Group shall make no representations or warranties relating to the Channel Network Services except as set forth in sales literature provided to the IPC Group by the GCT Group, or as set forth in the form or forms of orders provided to the IPC Group by the GCT Group, or as otherwise expressly permitted in writing by the GCT Group. (h) All prices quoted for the Channel Network Services will be set as provided by the GCT Group. Terms and conditions for the Channel Network Services marketed are those provided by the GCT Group in writing (subject to change on not less than 90 days' prior written notice to the IPC Group by the GCT Group). The IPC Group must at all times adhere to and represent accurately and in writing the provisioning parameters established by the GCT Group for the provision of Channel Network Services (subject to change on not less than 90 days' prior written notice to the IPC Group by the GCT Group). Except as provided for in Section 3.1(j) and except in connection with IPC products or services sold as part of a Packaged Service Offering, the IPC Group shall not attempt to impose any fee or charge on any Channel Customer in connection with the marketing of the Channel Network Services hereunder. (i) The IPC Group and the GCT Group shall each conduct its business in a manner that it reasonably believes will reflect favorably on the reputation of the other Party and its products and services. No Party shall knowingly disparage a Party or its affiliates or their products or services, nor shall a Party knowingly disparage another Party's competitors or such competitors' products and services. This provision, however, will not prohibit, for example, the use of benchmarks; comparisons of features, functions and performance; or comparative presentations of relative merits; relating to the services provided by a Party. (j) In connection with this Section 3.1, the GCT Group shall compensate the IPC Group for the sale of the Channel Network Services resulting from a referral by the IPC Group in accordance with guidelines to be agreed by the Parties, which shall be substantially similar to the terms of other such similar arrangements, if any, of the GCT Group with other parties. (k) The IPC Group shall identify itself as an authorized representative of the GCT Group only with respect to Channel Network Services and shall otherwise identify itself as an independent business. Neither the GCT Group nor the IPC Group shall make any express or 8 implied agreements, guarantees or representations, or incur any debt in the name of or on behalf of the other. The GCT Group's use of the IPC Group to market Channel Network Services and to perform the customer care and other Channel Network Services identified in this Agreement is not an implied endorsement of the IPC Group's independent business, and the IPC Group agrees that it shall not make any representation to such effect. (l) To the extent that after the third (3/rd/) anniversary of the Closing Date, the GCT Group and the IPC Group become competitors with respect to any of the services that are provided for under this Agreement, then the IPC Group's obligations under this Article III shall thereupon cease with respect to any Channel Network Service with respect to which the GCT Group and the IPC Group are then competitors. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence will not in any way affect the obligations of the IPC Group under this Article III with respect to any other Channel Network Service with which the GCT Group and the IPC Group are not competitors or in any way affect the status of the GCT Group as the Preferred Provider of all of the IPC Group's internal requirements for Network Services pursuant to Article II of this Agreement. ARTICLE IV - ---------- 4.1 Non-Competition. (a) Except as otherwise permitted under this --------------- Agreement, the IPC Group agrees that, during the period from the date hereof until the third (3/rd/) anniversary of the Closing Date, it shall not directly or indirectly (i) enter into any arrangement (whether by itself or as agent or partner, or by selling, re-selling, bartering, trading or otherwise promoting or providing the Network Services of a third party provider other than the GCT Group) to supply Network Services to any customer or other third party; or (ii) own, lease, barter, trade, be assigned, delegated or in any other way operate for external purposes a network capable of providing Network Services to any Party other than itself. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the IPC Group shall be permitted to operate any network for internal purposes within any single physical address. (b) The IPC Group acknowledges that the performance of the obligations of this Section 4.1 are special, unique and extraordinary in character, and that in the event of a breach by the IPC Group of the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1, the GCT Group shall be entitled, if it so elects (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to the extent permitted by applicable law, to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction, either at law or in equity, to enforce the specific performance thereof by the IPC Group or to enjoin the IPC Group and their respective employees, officers, directors or advisors, from violating the provisions of this Section 4.1.

(ii) Schedule B sets forth a list of facilities which the IPC Group agrees that it shall vacate; provided however, that the Parties may negotiate and enter into sub-lease arrangements with respect to such facilities as may be mutually agreed upon from time to time.

(b) If after the 90/th/ day following the Closing Date, a Party fails to comply with an obligation to vacate a facility in accordance with the provisions of this Section, then such Party shall pay to the other Party the non-vacating Party's allocable portion of the applicable rent for such facility for such time as the non-vacating Party remains at the facility. 5.2 Transition Services. ------------------- (a) For a period not to exceed ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the IPC Group shall, to the extent requested by the GCT Group, provide or cause to be provided to the GCT Group certain telecommunications support services, including, but not limited to, phone system maintenance, "moves, adds and changes" and circuit testing.
