As partial consideration for entering into the Original Agreement, the Company hereby grants Executive a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 to acquire five million (5,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.22 per share to vest ratably over thirty-two (32) months between April 2005 and December 2007 or immediately if Executive’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason (as described in Section 4 hereof) or due to a change in control, sale of a majority of the common stock or substantially all of the assets of the Company or merger of the Company into or with another company (unless such company is less than ninety percent (90%) of the size (measured by market value) of the Company) or reverse merger with another company. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to the following Warrant Shares for achieving the New Direction Goals: three million (3,000,000) Warrant Shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.0075 per share to vest immediately upon the closing of the sale of the CLEC subsidiaries to USA Telephone; two million (2,000,000) Warrant Shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.0075 per share to vest immediately upon eliminating the Company’s debt to Yorkville Advisors, LLC (f/k/a Cornell Capital Partners, LP); two million (2,000,000) Warrant Shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.0075 per share to vest immediately upon the closing of the sale of at least 80% of the telephones of Davel Communications; one million (1,000,000) Warrant Shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.0075 per share to vest immediately upon elimination of the debt of Kite Broadband, LLC and Kite Networks, Inc. from the Company’s balance sheet, including any guaranties related thereto; and two million (2,000,000) Warrant Shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.0075 per share to vest immediately upon completing an acquisition into a new line of business, which acquisition shall have received Board approval .

The Warrant Shares granted hereunder must be exercised by the tenth anniversary of the date of vesting or shall be forfeited by Executive. All Warrant Shares granted hereunder shall have a “cashless” exercise provision which enables Executive to give up a portion of his Warrant Shares in order to exercise others without paying cash for them. Further, the number, kind and strike price of the stock Warrant Shares granted hereunder shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, split-off, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other major corporate action affecting the stock of the Company to the end that after such event Executive’s proportionate interest in the Company shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Executive shall also receive payment of any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution declared and paid by the Company as if Executive had already exercised all of his Warrant Shares, including unvested Warrant Shares.
