          FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, WAVE2WAVE
COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (the “Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises
to pay to the order of WILMINGTON TRUST
COMPANY AND GEORGE JEFF MENNEN AS CO-TRUSTEES U/AID NOVEMBER 25, 1970, AS
AMENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF JOHN HENRY MENNEN (“Lender”),
having an address at c/o Wilmington Trust Company, 1100
North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890, or at such other place as the
holder of this Term Note (“Term
Note”) may from time to time designate in writing, in lawful
money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the
principal sum of One Million Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($1,700,000). Reference is hereby made to the Loan and Security Agreement
between Borrowers and Lender dated as of October 12, 2007 (as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), for
a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loan evidenced hereby
was made and is to be repaid. This Term Note evidences a Term Loan Advance
described in the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein which are not
otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Loan Agreement. 


          The
outstanding principal balance of this Term Note shall be payable in full on the
Maturity Date. Prior thereto, the Term Note shall be repayable as set forth in
the Loan Agreement. 


          Borrower
further promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount hereof
from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at the per annum rate equal
to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus three and one quarter
percent (3.25%). Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Term Note
shall, at Lender’s option, bear interest until paid in full at a per annum rate
equal 





to the
interest rate applicable to the Term Loan from time to time in effect plus two
percent (2.00%). Until maturity, interest on the outstanding principal amount
hereof shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing
December 1, 2007 and on the Maturity Date. After maturity, whether by
acceleration or otherwise, accrued interest shall be payable on demand.
Interest as aforesaid shall be charged for the actual number of days elapsed
over a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days on the actual daily
outstanding balance hereof. Changes in the interest rate provided for herein
which are due to changes in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the date of
the change in the Prime Rate. 


          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate of all interest
hereunder and charged or collected by Lender is not intended to exceed the
highest rate permissible under any applicable law, but if it should, such
interest shall automatically be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with
applicable law and Lender will refund to Borrowers any such excess interest
received by Lender. 


          Subject
to Section 7.2 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower may prepay the outstanding
principal balance hereof in whole or in part. Any partial prepayment of the
Term Loan shall be applied to the unpaid installments of the Term Loan in the
inverse order of their maturities. 


          Upon
and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, this Term Note may, at the
option of the Lender, and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind,
be declared, and immediately shall become, due and payable. 


          Payments
received by Lender from Borrower on this Term Note shall be applied to the
Obligations as provided in the Loan Agreement. 


          Presentment,
demand, protest and notice of presentment, demand, nonpayment and protest are
hereby waived by Borrower. 


          This
Term Note amends, restates and supersedes, but is not intended to and shall not
extinguish or cancel the indebtedness (including, but not limited to, accrued
but unpaid interest thereon) evidenced by the Term Note dated November 2, 2007,
made by Wave2Wave Communications, Inc. and the Wilmington Trust Company and
George Jeff Mennen as co-trustees U/A/D November 25, 1970, as amended for the
benefit of John Henry Mennen, each in their capacity as Borrowers, in favor of
Greystone Funding Corporation (as successor in interest to Greystone Business
Credit II, L.L.C.) in the principal amount of $1,700,000
