         FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  eLEC COMMUNICATIONS  CORP., a New York corporation

Million  Dollars  ($2,000,000),  together  with any accrued and unpaid  interest
hereon, on February 8, 2008 (the "Maturity Date") if not sooner paid.

         This  Note  amends  and  restates  in its  entirety  (and is  given  in
substitution  for and not in satisfaction  of) that certain  $2,000,000  Secured
Convertible  Term Note made by the  Company  in favor of Holder on  February  8,
2005.

         This  Secured  Term Note (the  "Note") is intended  to be a  registered
obligation within the meaning of Treasury  Regulation Section  1.871-14(c)(1)(i)
and the Borrower (or its agent) shall register this Note (and  thereafter  shall

Notwithstanding  any document,  instrument or agreement relating to this Note to
the  contrary,  transfer of this Note (or the right to any payments of principal
or stated  interest  thereunder)  may only be effected by (i)  surrender of this
Note and either the reissuance by the Borrower of this Note to the new holder or
the  issuance by the  Borrower of a new  instrument  to the new holder,  or (ii)
transfer through a book entry system  maintained by the Borrower (or its agent),
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.871-14(c)(1)(i)(B).

         Capitalized  terms  used  herein  without  definition  shall  have  the
meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain  Securities  Purchase  Agreement
dated as of February 8, 2005  between the  Borrower  and the Holder (as amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement").

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

                                    ARTICLE I
                             INTEREST & AMORTIZATION

         1.1 Interest  Rate.  Subject to Sections  3.2 and 4.6 hereof,  interest
             --------------
payable on this Note  shall  accrue at a rate per annum  (the  "Interest  Rate")
equal to the "prime  rate"  published  in The Wall Street  Journal  from time to
                                          ------------------------
time,  plus two percent (2%).  The prime rate shall be increased or decreased as
the case may be for each  increase  or  decrease  in the prime rate in an amount
equal to such  increase  or  decrease  in the  prime  rate;  each  change  to be
effective  as of the day of the  change  in such  rate.  Interest  shall  be (i)
calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in arrears,
which  commenced  on March 1, 2005 and is payable on the first  business  day of
each  consecutive  calendar month thereafter until the Maturity Date (and on the
Maturity Date), whether by acceleration or otherwise (each, a "Repayment Date").

<PAGE>

         1.2 Minimum  Monthly  Principal  Payments.  Amortizing  payments of the
             -------------------------------------
aggregate  principal  amount  outstanding  under  this  Note  at any  time  (the
"Principal  Amount")  began on May 1, 2005 and shall recur on the first business
day of each  succeeding  month  thereafter  until the  Maturity  Date (each,  an
"Amortization  Date").  Beginning on the first  Amortization  Date, the Borrower
shall make monthly  payments to the Holder on each Repayment  Date,  each in the
amount of $60,606.06,  together with any accrued and unpaid  interest to date on
such portion of the  Principal  Amount plus any and all other  amounts which are
then  owing  under  this  Note,  the  Purchase  Agreement  or any other  Related
Agreement  but have not been paid  (collectively,  the  "Monthly  Amount").  Any
Principal Amount that remains  outstanding on the Maturity Date shall be due and
payable on the Maturity Date.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                   REPAYMENT

         2.1 Optional  Redemption in Cash.  The Borrower will have the option of
             ----------------------------
prepaying this Note in whole or in part ("Optional Redemption") by paying to the
Holder a sum of money (the "Redemption Amount") equal to the principal amount of
this Note  together  with  accrued but unpaid  interest  thereon and any and all
other sums due,  accrued or payable to the Holder  arising under this Note,  the
Purchase  Agreement  or any  Related  Agreement  outstanding  on the  Redemption
Payment  Date (as defined  below).  The Borrower  shall  deliver to the Holder a
written notice of redemption  (the "Notice of  Redemption")  specifying the date
for such Optional Redemption (the "Redemption  Payment Date"),  which date shall
be no more  than  ten  (10)  business  days  after  the  date of the  Notice  of
Redemption (the "Redemption  Period"),  and the principal amount of this Note to
be redeemed. On the Redemption Payment Date, the relevant Redemption Amount must
be paid in good funds to the Holder.  In the event the Borrower fails to pay the
relevant  Redemption Amount on the Redemption  Payment Date as set forth herein,
then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

         3.1 Upon the occurrence  and  continuance of an Event of Default beyond
any applicable grace period, the Holder may make all sums of principal, interest
and other  fees then  remaining  unpaid  hereon  and all other  amounts  payable
hereunder immediately due and payable. In the event of such an acceleration, the
amount due and owing to the Holder  shall be 125% of the  outstanding  principal
amount of the Note (plus  accrued  and unpaid  interest  and fees,  if any) (the
"Default  Payment").  If, with respect to any Event of Default  capable of being
cured at the reasonable  discretion of Holder,  the Borrower cures such Event of
Default,  such Event of Default will be deemed to no longer exist and any rights
and  remedies of the Holder  pertaining  to such Event of Default  will be of no
further force or effect.  The Default Payment shall be applied first to any fees
due and payable to Holder pursuant to this Note or the Related Agreements,  then
to  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  due on this  Note  and  then to  outstanding
principal balance of this Note.

                  The  occurrence  of any of the  following  events set forth in
subparagraphs (a) through (i), inclusive, is an "Event of Default":

         4.3 Amendment Provision.  The term "Note" and all reference thereto, as
             -------------------
used  throughout  this  instrument,  shall mean this  instrument  as  originally
executed,  or  if  later  amended  or  supplemented,   then  as  so  amended  or
supplemented,  and any  successor  instrument  issued,  as it may be  amended or
supplemented.

         4.4 Assignability. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its
             -------------
successors  and  assigns,  and shall  inure to the benefit of the Holder and its

requirements of the Purchase  Agreement.  This Note shall not be assigned by the
Borrower without the consent of the Holder.

         4.5  Governing  Law.  This Note shall be governed by and  construed  in

concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only
in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the State of
New York.  Both  parties and the  individual  signing this Note on behalf of the
Borrower  agree to submit to the  jurisdiction  of such courts.  The  prevailing

attorney's  fees and  costs.  In the event  that any  provision  of this Note is
invalid or unenforceable  under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such
provision  shall  be  deemed  inoperative  to the  extent  that it may  conflict
therewith  and shall be deemed  modified to conform with such statute or rule of
law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or  unenforceable  under any law
shall not affect the validity or  enforceability  of any other provision of this
Note. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder
from  bringing  suit or taking  other legal  action  against the Borrower in any
other  jurisdiction  to  collect on the  Borrower's  obligations  to Holder,  to
realize on any  collateral  or any other  security for such  obligations,  or to

excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of
interest  required  to be paid or other  charges  hereunder  exceed the  maximum
permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum  shall be credited
against  amounts  owed by the  Borrower  to the Holder and thus  refunded to the
Borrower.

         4.7  Security  Interest  and  Guarantee.  The Holder has been granted a
              ----------------------------------
security  interest (i) in certain assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as
more fully  described in the Master  Security

                                       5

Agreement  dated as of February 8, 2005.  The  obligations of the Borrower under
this Note are guaranteed by certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower pursuant to the
Subsidiary Guaranty dated as of February 8, 2005.

         4.8  Construction.  Each  party  acknowledges  that its  legal  counsel
              ------------
participated in the preparation of this Note and, therefore, stipulates that the
rule of construction  that  ambiguities are to be resolved  against the drafting
party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Note to favor any party
against the other.

         4.9 Cost of Collection. If default is made in the payment of this Note,
             ------------------
the  Borrower  shall pay to Holder  reasonable  costs of  collection,  including

              ------------
on which banking  institutions  in New York City are not required to be open for
business  (each, a "Legal  Holiday"),  payment of any Monthly Amount due on such
day may be made on the next  succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday,  and no
interest shall accrue in respect of such payment for the intervening period.

         4.11 Prior  Notice.  This Note amends and  restates in its entirety the
