20
material adverse effect upon the operations of the business of PTC.

(d) (i) The Stockholder's financial situation is such that he/she can
afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite period
of time, has adequate means for providing for his/her current needs and
personal contingencies, and can afford to suffer the complete loss of his/her
investment in the Shares; (ii) in making his/her decision to acquire the Shares
pursuant to the Acquisition, the Stockholder has relied upon independent
investigations made by him/her and, to the extent believed by the Stockholder
to be appropriate, his/her representatives, including his/her own professional,
financial, tax and other advisors; and (iii) all information which the
Stockholder has provided to PhoneTel and its representatives including, without
limitation, information concerning the Stockholder and his/her financial
position is true, complete and correct as of the date hereof, and the
Stockholder agrees to promptly notify PhoneTel if at any time this ceases to be
the case.
(e) The Stockholder has good, valid and marketable title to, and legal
ownership of, the PTC Common Stock and, upon consummation of the Acquisition
the Stockholder will transfer to PhoneTel, and PhoneTel shall obtain, good,
valid and marketable record and beneficial ownership of all the PTC Common
Stock owned by the Stockholder, free and clear of any and all liens, options,
charges, restrictions (other than restrictions on transfer imposed by federal
or state securities laws) or encumbrances of any kind.

(f) The Stockholder has previously received the current and historical
financial statements of PhoneTel, and has had an opportunity to thoroughly
review such information before making any investment decision regarding the
shares.
(g) Each Stockholder represents that he does not have any plan or intention
to sell, exchange, transfer by gift or otherwise dispose of a number of
PhoneTel Common Shares to be received by such Stockholder pursuant to the
Merger that would reduce such Stockholder's ownership of PhoneTel Common Shares
to a number of shares having a value, as of the date of the Merger, of less
than 51 percent of the value of the PTC Common Stock held by such Stockholder
as of the same date.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") made and
entered into this 16th day of October, l995, by and between PhoneTel
Technologies, Inc. ("PhoneTel"), an Ohio corporation, and Public Telephone
Corporation ("PTC"), an Indiana corporation.
WHEREAS, PhoneTel, PhoneTel II, Inc. ("Sub"), an Ohio
corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PhoneTel and PTC are parties to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger of even date herewith (the "Merger Agreement")
pursuant to which PTC will merge with and into Sub (the "Merger") and the
shareholders of PTC will receive shares of PhoneTel common stock $.0l par value
("PhoneTel Common Shares").
WHEREAS, the shareholders of PTC have requested that, in
connection with the Merger Agreement, PhoneTel provide a means of registering
PhoneTel Common Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and PhoneTel is willing to provide such registration as
provided herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. SHELF REGISTRATION. As promptly as practicable, PhoneTel
shall file and use all reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective a
"shelf" registration statement (the "Shelf Registration Statement") on any
appropriate form pursuant to Rule 415 (or similar rule that may be adopted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act for
all the PhoneTel Common Shares (i) issued in connection with the Merger or (ii)
issued or distributed in respect of such PhoneTel Common Shares by way of stock
dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares,
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation or otherwise
(collectively such PhoneTel Common Shares shall hereinafter be referred to as
the "Registrable Securities"), which form shall be available for the sale of
the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that PhoneTel's obligations under this
49
Section 1 shall not commence until the later of (i) 90 days following the
closing of a public primary equity offering by PhoneTel or (ii) such later date
acceptable to the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of such
offering. PhoneTel agrees to use its best efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective and usable for resale of
Registrable Securities, for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date
on which the SEC declares the Shelf Registration Statement effective or such
shorter period which will terminate when all the Registrable Securities covered
by the Shelf Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities (such
period shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Effective Period"); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that PhoneTel may elect that the Shelf Registration Statement not be
usable during any Blackout Period (as defined in Section 2 below).
2. BLACKOUT PERIOD. PhoneTel shall be entitled to elect that
the Shelf Registration Statement not be usable, for a reasonable period of
time, but not in excess of 90 days (a "Blackout Period"), if PhoneTel
determines in good faith that the use of the Shelf Registration Statement or
related prospectus) would interfere with any pending financing, acquisition,
corporate reorganization or any other corporate development involving PhoneTel
or any of its subsidiaries or would require premature disclosure thereof and
promptly gives the holders of Registrable Securities written notice of such
determination, containing a general statement of the reasons for such
postponement or restriction on use and an approximation of the anticipated
delay; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the aggregate number of days included in all
Blackout Periods during any consecutive 12 months during the Effective Period
shall not exceed 180 days.
3. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.
(a) RIGHT TO PIGGYBACK. Whenever PhoneTel proposes
to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (other than
the first registration after the date hereof) and the registration form to be
used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback
Registration"), PhoneTel will give prompt written notice (in any event within
five business days after its receipt of notice of any exercise of
2
50
other demand registration rights) to all holders of Registrable Securities of
its intention to effect such a registration and will, subject to paragraphs
(b), (c) and (d) below, include in such registration all Registrable Securities
with respect to which PhoneTel has received written requests for inclusion
therein within 15 days after the receipt of PhoneTel's notice.
(b) PRIORITY ON PRIMARY REGISTRATIONS. If a
Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of
PhoneTel (whether or not also on behalf of holders of PhoneTel's securities),
and the managing underwriters advise PhoneTel in writing that in their opinion
the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds
the number which can be sold in such offering, PhoneTel will include in such
registration (i) first, the securities PhoneTel proposes to sell, (ii) second,
the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro
rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the
number of shares then owned by such holders, and (iii) third, other securities
requested to be included in such registration.
(c) PRIORITY ON SECONDARY REGISTRATIONS. If a
Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of
holders of PhoneTel's securities, and the managing underwriters advise PhoneTel
in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be
included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such
offering, PhoneTel will include in such registration (i) first, the securities
requested to be included therein by the holders demanding such registration,
(ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration, pro rata among such holders on the basis of the number of shares
then owned by each such holder and (iii) third, other securities requested to
be included in such registration.
(d) Nothing in this Section 3 will prohibit PhoneTel
from determining, at any time, not to file a registration statement or, if
filed,
3
51
to withdraw such registration or terminate the registration related thereto.
4. SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If any offering pursuant to a
Registration Statement is an underwritten offering, PhoneTel will select a
managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering.
5. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. PhoneTel will pay all of its
expenses in connection with the registration of Registrable Securities
(including registration and filing fees, printing costs, listing fees and the
fees and expenses of its counsel), and each holder shall pay all underwriting
discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or
disposition of such holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to any
registration statement filed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above (a
"Registration Statement").
6. INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION BY PHONETEL. PhoneTel agrees to
indemnify each holder of Registrable Securities, the underwriters
thereof, their respective officers and directors and each Person who
controls any of the foregoing (within the meaning of the Securities
Act), and any agent or investment adviser thereof against all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses of investigation) incurred by such party
pursuant to any actual or threatened action, suit, proceeding or
investigation arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement to any of the foregoing or (ii) any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a
prospectus or a preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances
then existing) not misleading, except in each case insofar as the same
arise out of or are based upon, any such untrue statement or omission
made in reliance on and in conformity with information with respect to
such indemnified party furnished in writing to PhoneTel by such
indemnified
4
52
party or its counsel expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a), PhoneTel will not be
liable to any holder of Registrable Securities, any Person who
participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable
Securities or any other Person, if any, who controls such holder or
underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act), under the
indemnity agreement in this paragraph (a) for any such loss, claim,
damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or
expense that arises out of such holder's or other Person's failure to
send or give a copy of the final prospectus to the Person asserting an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the
Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission
was corrected in such final prospectus and PhoneTel has previously
furnished copies thereof to such holder.
(b) Indemnification by Holders of Registrable
Securities. In connection with the Registration Statement, each
holder will furnish to PhoneTel in writing such information, including
with respect to the name, address and the amount of Registrable
Securities held by such holder, as PhoneTel reasonably requests for
use in such Registration Statement or the related prospectus and
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PhoneTel, all other prospective
holders or any underwriter, as the case may be, and any of their
respective affiliates, directors, officers and controlling Persons
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated in such Registration
Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement to either of
them or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a
prospectus, in the light of the circumstances then existing) not
misleading, but only to the extent that any such untrue statement or
omission is made in reliance on and in conformity with information
with respect to such holder furnished in writing to PhoneTel by such
5
53
holder or its counsel specifically for inclusion therein.
(c) CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Any Person
entitled to indemnification hereunder agrees to give prompt written notice to
the indemnifying party after the receipt by such indemnified party of any
written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified
party may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement
(provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the
obligations of the indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 6 except to the
extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result
of such failure). In case any such action shall be brought against any
indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party under these indemnification provisions for any
legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless in the reasonable
judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest is likely to exist
between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with
respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated
to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.
The indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement
made without its consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld).
6
54
(d) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification from the
indemnifying party provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to the
indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in
connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified
party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any
action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has
been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or
indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid
or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in paragraph (c) above, any legal and other fees and
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with any
investigation or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by PRO
RATA allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no
underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount
by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it
and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of
any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason
of such untrue or
7
55
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no holder of
Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such
holder were offered to the public (net of all underwriting discounts and
commissions) exceeds the amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission. No Person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
If indemnification is available under this Section 6, the
indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent
provided in Section 6(a) or (b), as the case may be, without regard to the
relative fault of said indemnifying parties or indemnified party or any other
equitable consideration provided for in this paragraph (d).
7. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. No holder of
Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder
unless such holder (i) agrees to sell such holder's securities on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by PhoneTel in its
reasonable discretion and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
8. RULE 144. For a period of three years following the date
hereof (or such shorter period as may permit the sale of Registrable Securities
under Rule 144 under the Securities Act without regard to the requirement of
"current public information"), PhoneTel covenants that it will file the reports
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC
thereunder (or, if PhoneTel is not required to file such reports, it will, upon
the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available
other information so long as necessary to permit sales under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act), and it will
8
56
take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to
sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act
within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any
similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of
any holder of Registrable Securities, PhoneTel will deliver to such holder a
written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
9. REMEDIES. Each holder of Registrable Securities in
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights
under this Agreement.
10. PARTIES IN INTEREST; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the rights and
obligations of PTC, PhoneTel and the shareholders of PTC hereunder may not be
assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the
other parties.
(b) This Agreement is not intended, nor shall it be
construed, to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this
Agreement upon any person except the parties hereto, the shareholders of PTC
and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns.
11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement embodies the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject
matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements
and understandings of the parties with respect to such subject matter.
12. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

57
13. HEADINGS. The section headings contained in this
Agreement arte for convenience only and shall not control or affect in any way
the meaning or interpretation of the provisions of this Agreement.
14. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri without giving
effect to the conflicts of law principles of such jurisdiction.
15. NOTICES. All notices, requests, claims, demands and

----------------
THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of October
16, 1995 ("Escrow Agreement") by and among SHAMBAUGH, KAST, BECK & WILLIAMS, an
Indiana partnership, (the "Escrow Agent"), PUBLIC TELEPHONE CORPORATION, an
Indiana corporation, (the "Seller"), and PHONETEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., an Ohio
corporation ("PhoneTel"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
WHEREAS, PhoneTel, PhoneTel II, Inc. ("Sub"), an Ohio
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PhoneTel, and the Seller are
parties to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the
"Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which the Seller will merge with and into a
subsidiary of PhoneTel;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Merger Agreement, the
Seller and PhoneTel wish to deposit into escrow 175,000 shares of PhoneTel
common stock (the "Escrow Amount") being delivered to the Escrow Agent upon the
signing of the Merger Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Seller and PhoneTel wish to enter into this
Escrow Agreement providing for the terms and conditions upon which the Escrow
Amount will be held and released by the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent
wishes to act as escrow agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Escrow Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and intending
to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. DEPOSIT INTO ESCROW ACCOUNT. On the date of this
Agreement, PhoneTel is depositing the 175,000 shares of PhoneTel common stock
comprising the Escrow Amount into an escrow account established with the Escrow
Agent and entitled "PhoneTel Escrow Account" (the "Escrow Account").
61
SECTION 2. PURPOSE OF ESCROW. The Escrow Amount shall be
held by Escrow Agreement for the purpose of effecting any necessary adjustment
in the number of shares of PhoneTel common stock to be distributed to the
Seller's shareholders as consideration for the merger, as provided in Section
1.2 of the Merger Agreement. Each share of PhoneTel common stock comprising
the Escrow Amount shall be valued at $1.00 for purposes of any adjustment to be
made pursuant to such Section 1.2 of the Merger Agreement.
SECTION 3. REINVESTMENT AND EARNINGS. The Escrow Agent is
hereby authorized to receive, in its capacity as Escrow Agent and on behalf of
the other parties hereto, all dividends, earnings, options, and splits to which
the shares which comprise the Escrow Amount would be entitled.
SECTION 4. ESCROW AND ESCROW DELIVERY. The Escrow Agent
shall hold the Escrow Amount until such time or times as the Escrow Agent
receives written instruction from the Shareholder Representative and PhoneTel
to deliver all or any part of the Escrow Amount to the Shareholder
Representative or to PhoneTel, as specified in the written instruction. Upon
receipt of the foregoing instructions, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the
Escrow Amount, or such portion thereof as specified in such instructions,
accordingly. In accordance with Section _____ of the Merger Agreement, it is
contemplated that 125,000 shares will be distributed ninety (90) days from the
date hereof and the remaining 50,000 shares will be distributed one (1) year
from the date hereof; PROVIDED, however, that if notice of a claim or dispute
regarding distribution of the Escrow Amount has been given prior to such dates,
delivery of such amounts shall be deferred until such time as all claims or
disputes have been settled between the parties and Escrow Agent has been
provided with written instructions from both parties. All deliveries to the
Seller pursuant to the foregoing instructions shall be deemed to have occurred
when such Shares are distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Shareholder
Representative, as hereinafter defined, for distribution among the Shareholders
of Seller in accordance with their respective interests. During the time that
the Escrow Amount is held by the Escrow Agent and until such delivery by the
Escrow Agent, the Seller and PhoneTel understand and agree that neither shall
be enti-

62
tled to the Escrow Amount and that the Escrow Amount shall not be subject to
any lien, security interest or encumbrance of any kind placed thereon by either
of them.
SECTION 5. TERMINATION. This Escrow Agreement shall
terminate upon the distribution of the entire Escrow Amount held by the Escrow
Agent pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 6. SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE. As used herein, the
term "Shareholder Representative" shall refer to Thomas J. Martin. All
actions required or permitted to be taken by the Seller hereunder shall be done
and performed by the Shareholder Representative for and on behalf of the Seller
and each holder, as of the date hereof, of the common stock, no par value, of

"Shareholders"). The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely, as being binding
upon Seller and each of the Shareholders, upon any document or other writing
executed by the Shareholder Representative, and the Escrow Agent shall not be
liable to Seller or any Shareholder for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by the Shareholder Representative in reliance thereon. The Seller hereby
represents that each Shareholder has duly appointed the Shareholder
Representative as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with powers to consummate all
transactions contemplated hereby on each Shareholder's behalf.
SECTION 7. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. The provisions of this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by each
Shareholder and each shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder.
SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION. The Seller and PhoneTel agree to
hold the Escrow Agent harmless and indemnify it from any loss or claim
whatsoever arising in conjunction with the performance of the duties of the
Escrow Agent, but only to the extent that the Escrow Agent has fully complied
with the provisions of this Escrow Agreement. Said indemnification shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of October 16,

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Martin has heretofore served as President, Chairman and CEO of
Public Telephone Corporation, an Indiana Corporation ("Public");
WHEREAS, PhoneTel, Sub and Public have entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of the date hereof, pursuant
to which, at the "Closing Date" (as such term is defined in the Merger
Agreement), Sub will be merged with and into Public;
WHEREAS, Public and PhoneTel are in the business of owning, leasing,
operating and maintaining pay telephones;
WHEREAS, PhoneTel recognizes that Martin possesses trade secrets and
confidential business information relating to Public as well as knowledge and
experience relating to the pay telephone industry and desires to prevent Martin
from (1) competing with the business operated by PhoneTel (or any subsidiary
thereof) or (2) soliciting the former, current or future customers or employees
of Public or PhoneTel (or any subsidiary thereof);
WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Merger
Agreement, Martin will receive shares of PhoneTel common stock, $.01 par value
("PhoneTel Common Stock"), in exchange for his shares of Public common stock,
no par value ("Public Common Stock"); and
WHEREAS, Martin is agreeable to restrictions on his ability to compete
against and solicit from PhoneTel in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
67
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the execution, delivery and
performance of the Merger Agreement, and mutual premises and covenants herein
and therein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, PhoneTel and Martin hereby
agree as follows:
1. TERM. The term of this agreement shall commence at the Closing
Date and continue for a period of five (5) years thereafter (the "Term").
2. NON-COMPETITION. (a) For a period of two years commencing at the
Closing Date, Martin shall not, without the prior written consent of PhoneTel,
directly or indirectly, own, operate, manage, be employed by, be an agent of,
act as a consultant for, advise, financially support, lease property to or
from, have a proprietary interest in or support in any other way, any
enterprise or business which sells, leases, maintains, owns or operates pay
telephones in any part of the United States of America in which PhoneTel is
conducting or will conduct its pay telephone business. Martin acknowledges
that the business of PhoneTel will be conducted on a national basis and agrees
that such geographic scope is reasonable.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein, Martin shall not be prohibited from owning less than 2% of the
outstanding equity securities of any publicly-held corporation.
3. NON-SOLICITATION. Martin agrees that, during the Term of this
agreement, he will not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, entice or
persuade, or attempt to solicit, entice or persuade, any employee of PhoneTel
or its affiliates, or any client then under contract with PhoneTel or any of
its affiliates to terminate his employment by or contractual relationship with
PhoneTel or its affiliates or to become employed by or to enter into
contractual relations with a competitor of PhoneTel or its affiliates or (ii)
persuade or attempt to persuade customers, potential customers, suppliers or
potential suppliers of PhoneTel and its affiliates to divert their business to
any other entity or individual.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY. Martin acknowledges that Public and PhoneTel
would be irreparably damaged if
68
confidential information about Public were disclosed to or utilized on behalf
of any person, firm, corporation or other business organization which is in
competition in any respect with Public or PhoneTel. Martin covenants and
agrees that he will not at any time, and will cause his agents, affiliates and
associates not to at any time, without the prior written consent of PhoneTel,
disclose any such confidential information, except to employees and authorized
representatives of PhoneTel.
5. COMPENSATION; TAXES. In consideration for the agreements of Martin
contained herein, PhoneTel agrees to pay Martin a total of $129,239.50, $27,500
of which shall be payable in cash upon the Closing (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) and the other $101,739.50 of which shall be payable in the form of a
note (the "Note"), the terms of which shall govern the payment of such amount.
A copy of the Note is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. In addition, and in
further consideration for the agreements of Martin contained herein, PhoneTel
agrees to pay Martin 275,000 shares of PhoneTel Common Stock, payable six
months from the date hereof.
Martin hereby acknowledges that by virtue of this Agreement he is not
and will not become an employee of PhoneTel. Martin further acknowledges his
separate responsibility for all federal and state withholding taxes, Federal
Insurance Contribution Act taxes and workers' compensation and unemployment
compensation taxes, if applicable, and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company
harmless from any claim or liability therefor.
6. NECESSITY. Martin acknowledges that due to the uniqueness of his
skills and abilities and the uniqueness of the trade secrets, confidential
business lists, customer requirements and preferences, records and information
he possesses, the covenants set forth herein are reasonable and necessary for
the protection of PhoneTel. Martin further acknowledges that enforcement of
the covenants herein will not deprive him of his ability to earn a livelihood.
7. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Martin acknowledges that the rights and
privileges granted to PhoneTel herein are of a special and unique character,
which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which may not be reasonably
3
69
or adequately compensated for by damages in an action at law, and that a breach
by Martin of this Agreement will cause PhoneTel irreparable injury and damage.
Accordingly, Martin hereby agrees that PhoneTel shall be entitled to remedies
of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, to prevent or
cure a breach of this Agreement. This provision shall not be construed as a
waiver of any other rights or remedies PhoneTel may have for damages or
otherwise.
8. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. The parties have entered into this Agreement
in good faith and for the reasons set forth in the recitals hereto and assume
and intend that this Agreement is legally binding. If, for any reason, this
Agreement is not binding because of its geographical scope or because of its
term, then the parties agree that this Agreement shall be deemed effective for
the widest geographical area and/or the longest period of time as may be
legally enforceable, it being understood that the compensation payable
hereunder is for the full Term and geographic area stated herein, and for all
the covenants of Martin. Any provision of this Agreement which is determined
to be invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective only to the extent of such
invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability
of any other provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 8 shall not be
construed as a waiver of any other rights or remedies PhoneTel may have for
damages or otherwise.
9. BINDING EFFECT; MODIFICATIONS. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the personal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns of the parties to this Agreement. This
Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes any and
all prior written agreements between the parties, and all prior and
contemporaneous oral statements with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby. This Agreement may not be changed or terminated orally, but may only
be changed by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
10. SECTION CAPTIONS; COUNTERPARTS. Section and other captions

under the laws of the State of New York, applied without giving effect to any
conflict of laws principles.

language, whether ambiguous, unclear or otherwise, in favor of or against any
party by reason of that party's role in drafting this Agreement.
