     THIS AGREEMENT is made on the 27 day of December, 1994, between Cincinnati
Bell Inc. ("Employer") and David F. Dougherty ("Employee").

     Employer and Employee have entered into an Employment Agreement as of

     Employer and Employee agree that Section 4(B) of the 1995 Agreement is
hereby amended, effective January 1, 1995, by the addition of the following two

The Bonuses for calendar years 1995 and 1996 results shall be paid in the form
of restricted stock subject to the terms and conditions of restricted stock
issued by Employer under its 1988 Long Term Incentive Plan with a 12-month
restriction.  In the event of Employee's death prior to the lapse of the
restriction, Employer will pay Employee's estate cash equal to the value of the
restricted stock forfeited on account of his death.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed on the day and year first above written.
