    WHEREAS,
      XFone, Xfone USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of XFone, and Telecom have

      as
      the “Management Date”; and 

    


    WHEREAS,
      Creditor is the holder of a promissory note dated October 31, 2005 from Telecom
      in the aggregate principal amount of $60,108.59 (the “Promissory
      Note”).

    


    NOW
      THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

    


    1. Defined
      Terms.

      to the purchase the Promissory Note on the terms and conditions set forth
      herein.

     

    3. Consideration.
      As
      consideration, XFone shall issue to Creditor a number of shares of restricted
      XFone common stock (the “XFone Common Stock”), with a value equal to the
      outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note of the Creditor determined
      using the weighted average price of the XFone common stock as reported on the
      website of the American Stock Exchange for the ten (10) trading days preceding
      the trading date immediately prior to the Management Date, and warrants for
      one-half the number of XFone stock issued for the purchase of the Promissory
      Note. The warrants shall have a term of five (5) years, a strike price that
      is
      10% above the weighted average price of the XFone common stock as reported
      for
      the ten (10) trading days preceding the trading date immediately prior to
      Management Date and the XFone common stock into which the warrants are
      convertible shall be restricted stock. The XFone Common Stock and the XFone
      warrants are referred to together as the “XFone Securities.”

     

    4. Closing
      Date.
      The
      purchase of the Promissory Note shall be consummated on the Closing Date as
      defined in the Merger Agreement, unless XFone, in his sole discretion, elects
      to
      consummate the purchase on an earlier date.

     

    5. Termination.
      If the
      Merger Agreement terminates without consummation of the Merger prior to the
      purchase of the Promissory Note by XFone, this Agreement shall terminate, and
      neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder.

      deliver the Promissory Note on the terms as provided herein.

     

    (b) There

      XFone.

     

    (c) Creditor
      has good and marketable title to the Promissory Note subject to no existing

      other
      type of charge or lien whatsoever.

     

    (d) Except
      for the Promissory Note there are no liabilities, claims or obligations (whether
      accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or otherwise, and whether due to
      become payable and regardless of when or by whom asserted) owed by Telecom
      to
      Creditor.

    (b) Creditor
      has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, or
      competent professional advice concerning XFone, and Creditor is capable of

      complete loss of the investment.

     

    (c) Creditor
      has had and continues to have the opportunity to obtain from XFone any
      additional information, to the extent possessed or obtainable without
      unreasonable effort and expense, necessary to evaluate the merits and risks
      of
      this proposed investment and Creditor has concluded, based on the information
      presented to Creditor, Creditor’s own understanding of investments of this
      nature and of this investment in particular, and the advice of such consultants
      as Creditor has deemed appropriate, that Creditor wishes to acquire XFone

    (e) Creditor
      understands that the XFone Securities being acquired hereby have not been
      registered under the Securities Act, or under the Blue Sky or other securities
      laws of certain states, and, therefore, that Creditor must bear the economic

      so registered or an exemption from registration is available.

      AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR
      HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH LAWS OR IN
      COMPLIANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS. IN ADDITION,

    (g) Creditor
      understands that the records of the transfer agent for XFone common stock will
      indicate the restrictions on transferability and sale noted above and stop
      transfer instructions have been or will be placed with respect to the stock
      so
      as to restrict the transfer thereof.

     

    (h) Creditor
      is the sole party in interest in Creditor’s participation and in this Agreement
      and is acquiring the XFone common stock solely for investment for Creditor’s own
      account; Creditor has no present agreement, understanding, intent or arrangement
      to subdivide, sell, assign or transfer any part or all of the stock, or any
      interest therein, to any other person. Creditor further represents that it
      has
      sufficient and adequate means to provide for Creditor’s current needs and
      personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to Creditor’s
      investment in XFone.

     

    8. No
      Further Claims.

      will register the XFone Common Stock issued to Creditor under this Agreement
      with the SEC at XFone’s expense.

     

    10. Shareholder's
      Post Closing Sale Restrictions.
      The
      Creditor agrees that the total shares of common stock of XFone sold by him/her
      in any one month period shall not exceed 850 shares. The Creditor agrees that
      this XFone common stock sales restriction shall apply to any XFone common stock
