<P style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%" align="justify">On
November&nbsp;14, 2008 EasyLink Services International Corporation (the
&#8220;Company&#8221;) entered into an Employment Agreement with Chris A.
Parker, its Executive Vice President of Production Operations.
Mr.&nbsp;Parker&#8217;s employment agreement provides for an annual salary of
$200,000 and an annual performance-related bonus targeted at $40,000 for the
Company&#8217;s 2009 fiscal year based upon Company and individual performance
milestones to be determined.

<P style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%" align="justify">Under his
employment agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Parker has agreed not to solicit the
Company&#8217;s customers or employees or compete with the Company for a period
of one year following termination of his employment. Mr.&nbsp;Parker&#8217;s
employment agreement provides for the payment of severance if his employment is
terminated as a result of his death or disability, if his employment is
terminated by the Company without &#8220;cause&#8221; or if he resigns for good
reason to an amount equal to his then-current annual base salary plus his
target annual cash incentive bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination
occurs. In connection with his promotion to Executive Vice President of
Production Operations, Mr. Parker&#8217;s employment agreement also provides
for a long term incentive grant of options for the purchase of 75,000 shares of
the Company&#8217;s common stock.

<P style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"
align="justify">Mr.&nbsp;Parker&#8217;s employment agreement contains language
addressing the potential for imposition of excise taxes under Section&nbsp;409A
of the Internal Revenue Code. Section&nbsp;409A was adopted into law in 2004
and imposes an excise tax on &#8220;deferred compensation&#8221; (as defined in
the law) paid to an executive under certain circumstances.
