Allred, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, Theodore P. Schrafft, President of the Company’s Conferencing & Collaboration business unit, and T. Lee Provow, President of the Company’s Data Communications business unit.

     Mr. Allred was granted 60,000 shares of restricted stock which vest in three equal quarterly installments of 20,000 shares each beginning on June 30, 2006, provided that Mr. Allred is still employed by the Company or any of its affiliates at each vesting date. In the event of the termination of Mr. Allred’s employment by reason of his death or “disability” or upon a “change in control” of the Company (as such terms are defined in his employment agreement), the vesting of such restricted stock will accelerate in full. In addition, the next tranche of such restricted stock will vest in the event of the termination of Mr. Allred’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Allred for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in his employment agreement).

     Mr. Schrafft and Mr. Provow were granted 240,000 and 180,000 shares of restricted stock, respectively, which vest in 16 equal quarterly installments of 15,000 shares and 11,250 shares, respectively, beginning on June 30, 2006, provided that the executive is still employed by the Company or any of its affiliates at each vesting date. In the event of the termination of Mr. Schrafft’s or Mr. Provow’s employment by reason of their death or disability or upon a “change in control” of the Company (as such term is defined in their respective employment agreements), the vesting of such restricted stock will accelerate in full. In addition, the next tranche of such restricted stock will vest in the event of the termination of Mr. Schrafft’s or Mr. Provow’s employment by the Company’s Conferencing & Collaboration or Data Communications business unit, respectively, without “cause” (as such term is defined in their respective employment agreements).

     Copies of the restricted stock agreements under which the Company has made such grants to Messrs. Allred, Schrafft and Provow are included as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.                Grant of Shares. Premiere Global Services, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to the Grantee named on Page 1 hereof (“Grantee”), subject to the restrictions and the other terms and conditions set forth in the Premiere Global Services, Inc. 1995 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) and in this award agreement (this “Agreement”), the number of shares indicated on Page 1 hereof of the Company’s $0.01 par value common stock (the “Shares”) . Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.

2.                Restrictions. The Shares are subject to each of the following restrictions. “Restricted Shares” mean those Shares that are subject to the restrictions imposed hereunder which restrictions have not then expired or terminated. Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered. If Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate terminates for any reason other than as set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) of Section 3 hereof, then Grantee shall forfeit all of Grantee’s right, title and interest in and to the Restricted Shares as of the date of employment termination, such Restricted Shares shall revert to the Company immediately following the event of forfeiture. The restrictions imposed under this Section 2 shall apply to all shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities issued with respect to Restricted Shares hereunder in connection with any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting the common stock of the Company.

3.               Expiration and Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed under Section 2 will expire on the earliest to occur of the following (the period prior to such expiration being referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”):

     (a)       As to the number of Shares on the respective dates specified on Page 1 hereof; provided Grantee is then still employed by the Company or an Affiliate;

     (b)        As to all of the unvested Shares, on the date of termination of Grantee’s employment by reason of death or “Disability” (as such term is defined below);

     (c)        As to all of the unvested Shares, upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as such term is defined below); or

     (d)        As to the next tranche of unvested Shares, on the date of termination of Grantee’s employment by the Company without “Cause” or by the Grantee for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined below).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause,” “Disability,” “Change in Control” and “Good Reason” shall have the same meaning as in Grantee’s Fourth Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2005.

4.                Delivery of Shares. The Shares will be registered in the name of Grantee as of the Grant Date and will be held by the Company during the Restricted Period in certificated or uncertificated form. If a certificate for Restricted Shares is issued during the Restricted Period with respect to such Shares, such certificate shall be registered in the name of Grantee and shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

“This certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture and restrictions against transfer) contained in a Restricted Stock Agreement between the registered owner of the shares represented hereby and Premiere Global Services, Inc. Release from such terms and conditions shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Agreement, copies of which are on file in the offices of Premiere Global Services, Inc.”

Stock certificates for the Shares, without the first above legend, shall be delivered to Grantee or Grantee’s designee upon request of Grantee after the expiration of the Restricted Period, but delivery may be postponed for such period as may be required for the Company with reasonable diligence to comply if deemed advisable by the Company, with registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, listing requirements under the rules of any stock exchange, and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Shares.

5.                Voting and Dividend Rights. Grantee, as beneficial owner of the Shares, shall have full voting and dividend rights with respect to the Shares during and after the Restricted Period. If Grantee forfeits any rights he or she may have under this Agreement in accordance with Section 3, Grantee shall no longer have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares or any interest therein and Grantee shall no longer be entitled to receive dividends on such stock. In the event that for any reason Grantee shall have received dividends upon such stock after such forfeiture, Grantee shall repay to the Company any amount equal to such dividends.

6.                Changes in Capital Structure. The provisions of the Plan shall apply in the case of a change in the capital structure of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Stock, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of shares, the Shares then subject to this Agreement shall automatically be adjusted proportionately.

7.                No Right of Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate Grantee’s employment at any time, nor confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate.

8.                Payment of Taxes. Upon issuance of the Shares hereunder, Grantee may make an election to be taxed upon such award under Section 83(b) of the Code. To effect such election, Grantee may file an appropriate election with Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after award of the Shares and otherwise in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations. Grantee will, no later than the date as of which any amount related to the Shares first becomes includable in Grantee’s gross income for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Committee, regarding payment of, any federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, and, where applicable, its Affiliates will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Grantee.

9.                Amendment. The Committee may amend, modify or terminate this Agreement without approval of Grantee; provided, however, that such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without Grantee’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of this award determined as if it had been fully vested (i.e., as if all restrictions on the Shares hereunder had expired) on the date of such amendment or termination.

10.             Plan Controls. The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan. In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative.

11.             Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor of the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

12.             Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.

13.             Notice. Notices and communications under this Agreement must be in writing and either personally delivered or sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company must be addressed to:

Stock certificates for the Shares, without the first above legend, shall be delivered to Grantee or Grantee’s designee upon request of Grantee after the expiration of the Restricted Period, but delivery may be postponed for such period as may be required for the Company with reasonable diligence to comply if deemed advisable by the Company, with registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, listing requirements under the rules of any stock exchange, and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Shares.

5.                Voting and Dividend Rights. Grantee, as beneficial owner of the Shares, shall have full voting and dividend rights with respect to the Shares during and after the Restricted Period.

6.                Changes in Capital Structure. The provisions of the Plan shall apply in the case of a change in the capital structure of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Stock, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of shares, the Shares then subject to this Agreement shall automatically be adjusted proportionately.

7.                No Right of Continued Employment.

     (d)        As to the next tranche of unvested Shares, on the date of termination of Grantee’s employment by the Company without “Cause” (as such term is defined below).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” and “Change in Control” shall have the meaning as set forth in Grantee’s employment agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates, as in effect from time to time.

4.                Delivery of Shares. The Shares will be registered in the name of Grantee as of the Grant Date and will be held by the Company during the Restricted Period in certificated or uncertificated form. If a certificate for Restricted Shares is issued during the Restricted Period with respect to such Shares, such certificate shall be registered in the name of Grantee and shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

“This certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture and restrictions against transfer) contained in a Restricted Stock Agreement between the registered owner of the shares represented hereby and Premiere Global Services, Inc. Release from such terms and conditions shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Agreement, copies of which are on file in the offices of Premiere Global Services, Inc.”

Stock certificates for the Shares, without the first above legend, shall be delivered to Grantee or Grantee’s designee upon request of Grantee after the expiration of the Restricted Period, but delivery may be postponed for such period as may be required for the Company with reasonable diligence to comply if deemed advisable by the Company, with registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, listing requirements under the rules of any stock exchange, and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Shares.

5.                Voting and Dividend Rights. Grantee, as beneficial owner of the Shares, shall have full voting and dividend rights with respect to the Shares during and after the Restricted Period. If Grantee forfeits any rights he or she may have under this Agreement in accordance with Section 3, Grantee shall no longer have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares or any interest therein and Grantee shall no longer be entitled to receive dividends on such stock. In the event that for any reason Grantee shall have received dividends upon such stock after such forfeiture, Grantee shall repay to the Company any amount equal to such dividends.

6.                Changes in Capital Structure. The provisions of the Plan shall apply in the case of a change in the capital structure of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Stock, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of shares, the Shares then subject to this Agreement shall automatically be adjusted proportionately.

7.                No Right of Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate Grantee’s employment at any time, nor confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate.

8.                Payment of Taxes. Upon issuance of the Shares hereunder, Grantee may make an election to be taxed upon such award under Section 83(b) of the Code. To effect such election, Grantee may file an appropriate election with Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after award of the Shares and otherwise in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations. Grantee will, no later than the date as of which any amount related to the Shares first becomes includable in Grantee’s gross income for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Committee, regarding payment of, any federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, and, where applicable, its Affiliates will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Grantee.

9.                Amendment. The Committee may amend, modify or terminate this Agreement without approval of Grantee; provided, however, that such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without Grantee’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of this award determined as if it had been fully vested (i.e., as if all restrictions on the Shares hereunder had expired) on the date of such amendment or termination.

10.             Plan Controls. The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan. In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative.

11.             Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor of the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

12.             Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.

13.             Notice. Notices and communications under this Agreement must be in writing and either personally delivered or sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company must be addressed to:
