        5.    Consulting Arrangement.    From the Effective Date through June 30, 2004 or such earlier date as the Executive elects by written notice to the Company to terminate such arrangements (the "Consulting Period"), the Executive shall serve as a consultant (on an independent contractor basis) to the Company with respect to transitional matters relating to the Company's business, and shall perform such other services for the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates as reasonably requested by the Board during the Consulting Period. It is contemplated that, on average, such services shall not exceed 30 hours (including travel time) per month. The Executive shall provide such consulting services at such time and place and in such manner as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Company, taking into consideration the Executive's other business and personal commitments, subject to the Executive's assent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company agrees that it shall not request the Executive to perform any consulting services outside of the United States.

During the Consulting Period, when the Executive is requested to travel in connection with the business of the Company, he shall be entitled to use the Company's aircraft if practicable, and, if it is not practicable, then the Company shall arrange for travel in a comparable manner. Such expenses (if not arranged by the Company's travel department, which shall be done at Executive's request and will be billed directly to the department, which shall be done at Executive's request and will be billed directly to the Company), shall be reimbursed upon submission of written evidence in accordance with the Company's expense reimbursement policies an guidelines, as in effect from time to time.

        7.    No Public Comment; Non-Disparagement.    The Company will issue a press release on June 17, 2002, in a form mutually agreed between the Company and the Executive, disclosing the fact of the Executive's resignation. The Company and the Executive shall treat the circumstances surrounding the Executive's resignation as confidential and shall limit their comments to the press regarding the resignation to statements consistent with and not expanding the scope of the press release. For a period of three years following the Effective Date, each of the Executive and the Company agree that neither the Executive nor a "Restricted Representative" (as defined below) shall, or shall cause another person to, directly or indirectly, criticize or make any statement that disparages or is derogatory of the other person in any communications with any person, nor shall any formal statement of the Company criticize, disparage and be derogatory of the Executive; provided that after expiration of the noncompetition period, the Executive may make normal competitive statements that may be critical of the Company (but not any individual), and in no event shall such statements be disparaging or derogatory. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7, the foregoing shall not limit truthful responses to legal process or governmental or regulatory inquiry. The term "Restricted Representatives" means the current or future members of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, and any person holding the office of Executive Vice President or above of the Company.

        8.    Severability.    Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If any of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, geographic application or subject matter, such provision shall be construed, by limiting or reducing it to the extent legally permitted, so as to make such provision enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law.

        9.    Mutual Cooperation.    The Executive agrees that, following the Effective Date, he shall make himself reasonably available to reasonably assist and cooperate with the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and KPNQwest N.V. (together, "Qwest") and the Company agrees to reasonably assist and cooperate with the Executive, in connection with any matters relating to the business or affairs of Qwest, and any pending or future governmental or regulatory investigation, civil or administrative proceeding, litigation or arbitration related to the business of Qwest during Executive's term as an officer thereof or to the Executive's services as an officer, director or employee of Qwest. The executive and the Company shall provide such assistance and cooperation at such time and place and in such manner as may be reasonably requested, in good faith, from time to time by Qwest or the Executive, as the case may be, taking into consideration the Executive's other business and personal commitments and the needs of the Company. Following the Consulting Period, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of such cooperation and assistance, provided that the Company's prior written approval for such expenses has been obtained. During the Consulting Period, Section 6 above shall apply, and the hours spent by Executive shall be treated as consulting hours. The travel-related provisions of Section 6 shall apply to services by the Executive under this Section 9. The Executive shall agree to reasonable requests by the Company to travel outside the United States in performing services pursuant to this Section 9.

        10.    Return of Company Property.    As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the Executive shall return to the Company all property of the Company then in his possession and all property made available to him in connection with his service to the Company, including, without limitation, Company credit cards, any and all records, manuals, reports, papers and documents kept or made in connection with the Executive's employment by the Company, all computer hardware or software, files, memoranda, correspondence, vendor and custom lists, financial data, keys and security access cards, and any other materials or documents of the Company other than his address book, computer, telephones, fax machines and security system. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Executive's counsel may retain the documents provided him in connection with investigations and litigation.

        11.    Undertaking.    In accordance with Section 145(c) of the General Corporation laws of the State of Delaware, the Company has determined to pay the expenses of the Executive incurred in the defense of various litigations. The Executive hereby agrees to repay the Company any expenses (including attorneys' fees) paid to the Executive or on his behalf in advance of the final disposition of any of such litigations, if it is ultimately determined that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with Section 145(c) and the other legal rights that the Executive has to indemnification. The Company agrees that, in any legal action in which the same counsel is defending the Executive and the Company, or the Executive and other officers and directors, the Executive may have "shadow counsel" of his choice and if the Executive reasonably requests, subject to the Company's assent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, shadow counsel may appear as a counsel of record for the Executive.

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

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Executive, intending to be legally bound have executed this Agreement on the day and year first above written.
