injunction  restraining  Executive  from such  breach,  together  with any other
relief or remedy available,  for such breach or threatened breach, including the
recovery of damages.  Nothing  herein  shall be  construed  as  prohibiting  the
Company from pursuing any other  remedies for such breach or threatened  breach.
If the Company takes legal action to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or
to enjoin Executive from violating this Agreement, the prevailing party, as part
of its  damages,  shall be  entitled  to  recover  its legal  fees and  expenses
incurred in such action from the losing party.

     12.  Severability.  It is the  desire and  intent of the  parties  that the
provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible
under  the  laws and  public  policies  applied  in each  jurisdiction  in which
enforcement is sought.  Accordingly,  if any particular  provision or portion of
this  Agreement  shall be  adjudicated  to be  invalid  or  unenforceable,  this
Agreement  shall  be  deemed  amended  to  delete  therefrom  the  portion  thus
adjudicated  to be invalid or  unenforceable,  such  deletion to apply only with
respect to the operation of such Section in the particular jurisdiction in which
such adjudication is made.

                        AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This  AMENDMENT   ("Amendment")   entered  into  by  and  between   TELEHUB
COMMUNICATIONS  CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation,  and TELEHUB NETWORK SERVICES
CORPORATION,  an  Illinois  corporation,  which have  offices at 1375  Tri-State
Parkway, Suite 250, Gurnee, Illinois  60031(collectively,  "Employer"), and John
R. Lawson, an individual residing at 853 Winmoor Drive, Sleepy Hollow,  Illinois
("Executive"),  hereby  amends  the  Employment  Agreement  dated  July 3,  1997
(together  with the  September  23, 1998,  addendum,  the  "Original  Employment
Agreement") as of January 25, 1999 ("Effective Date").

                                 R E C I T A L S

     WHEREAS,  Employer  and  Executive  entered  into the  Original  Employment
Agreement   which   provided  for  the  employment  of  Executive  as  corporate
controller;

     WHEREAS,  Employer  wishes to  appoint  Executive  as its  Chief  Financial
Officer ("CFO");

     WHEREAS,  Employer and  Executive  desire to amend the Original  Employment
Agreement to reflect Executive's new position;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained in this Amendment, the parties agree as follows:

     1. Amendment.  The Original  Agreement is amended as provided herein;  when
used in the Original  Agreement or this Amendment,  the term  "Agreement"  shall
mean the  Original  Agreement  as amended by this  Amendment.  Unless  otherwise
defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same
meaning as set forth in the Original Agreement.

     2. Scope of Duties.  With Executive's  appointment as CFO, section 2 of the
Original Employment is amended to read:

          2. Duties.  Executive shall serve as  Company's  Chief  Financial
     Officer  and  shall  perform  the  duties,  bear the  responsibilities
     commensurate with his position and serve the Company faithfully and to
     the best of his ability,  under the  direction  of Company's  Board of
     Directors  ("Board").  In addition,  the Executive will hold,  without
     additional compensation,  such other offices and directorships for the
     Company to which he may be  appointed  or elected  from  time-to-time.
     Subject to  Sections  8.4,  8.5 and 8.7 of this  Agreement,  Executive
     serves at the  pleasure  of the  Board,  so the  Company,  in its sole
     discretion,    may    assign    Executive    to    a    position    of
     lesserresponsibility.   Executive's  conduct  must  promote  the  best
     interests  of the  Company and must not  discredit  the  Company,  its
     products or services.

     3.  Compensation.  The compensation and benefits  provision of the Original
Employment Agreement are amended as follows:

          3.1.Section 6.1 is amended to read:

          (the "Covenant Period"). Subsections 21.1.2, 21.1.3, and 21.1.4 do not
          apply if they have not occurred  within one year after  termination of
          Executive's employment.
