    CONVERTIBLE
PROMISSORY NOTE

    

    THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED
the undersigned, promises to pay to iVoice, Inc., the principal sum of Fifty
Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-one Dollars and Fifty-two Cents ($50,651.52), at
the rate of prime plus 1 percent per annum on the unpaid balance until paid or
until default, both principal and interest payable in lawful money of the United
States of America, at iVoice, Inc. (the “iVoice”) 750 Highway 34, Matawan, New
Jersey 07747, or at such place as the legal holder hereof may designate in
writing.  It is understood and agreed that additional amounts may be
advanced by the holder hereof as provided in the instruments, if any, securing
this Note and such advances will be added to the principal of this Note and will
accrue interest at the above specified rate of interest from the date of advance
until paid.  Such advances may include Services Fees accrued pursuant to
the Administrative Services Agreement, as amended (the “Agreement”) originally
dated August 1, 2004 by and between iVoice, Inc., a New Jersey corporation
(“iVoice”) and SpeechSwitch, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the
“Company”).  The principal and interest shall be due and payable as
follows: (a) interest shall accrue monthly on the unpaid balance and shall be
paid annually, and (b) principal shall be payable on demand.

    

    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Note holder may elect payment of the
principal and/or interest, at the holder’s sole discretion, owed pursuant to
this Note by requiring the Company  to issue to iVoice, or his assigns
either: (i) one Class B common stock share of the Company par value $.01 per
share, for each dollar owed, (ii) the number of Class A common stock shares of
the Company calculated by dividing (x) the sum of the principal and interest
that the Note holder has decided to  have paid by (y) eighty percent (80%)
of the lowest issue price of Class A common stock since the first advance of
funds under this Note, or (iii), payment of the principal of this Note, before
any repayment of interest.  For purposes of determining the holding
period of this Convertible Promissory Note under Rule 144 of the regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, Exhibit I attached herein shows the date that each monthly
obligation pursuant to the Agreement became due and unpaid.  This
Exhibit I shall be amended from time to time to reflect additional monthly
advances made pursuant to the Agreement referenced above.

    

    Unless
otherwise provided, this Note may be prepaid in full or in part at any time
without penalty or premium.  Partial prepayments shall be applied to
installments due in reverse order of their maturity.

    

    In the
event of (a) default in payment of any installment of principal or interest
hereof as the same becomes due and such default is not cured within ten (10)
days from the due date, or (b) default under the terms of any instrument
securing this Note, and such default is not cured within fifteen (15) days after
written notice to maker, then in either such event the holder may, without
further notice, declare the remainder of the principal sum, together with all
interest accrued thereon, and the prepayment premium, if any, at once due and
payable.  Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of
the right to exercise the same at any other time.  The unpaid principal of
this Note and any part thereof, accrued interest and all other sums due under
this Note shall bear interest at the rate of prime plus 2 percent per annum
after default until paid.

    

    All
parties to this Note, including maker and any sureties, endorsers, or
guarantors, hereby waive protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, and notice of
acceleration of maturity and agree to continue to remain bound for the payment
of principal, interest, and all other sums due under this Note, notwithstanding
any change or changes by way of release, surrender, exchange, modification or
substitution of any security for this Note or by way of any extension or
extensions of time for the payment of principal and interest; and all such
parties waive all and every kind of notice of such change or changes and agree
that the same may be made without notice or consent of any of them.

    

    Upon
default, the holder of this Note may employ an attorney to enforce the holder's
rights and remedies and the maker, principal, surety, guarantor and endorsers of
this Note hereby agree to pay to the holder reasonable attorneys fees, plus all
other reasonable expenses incurred by the holder in exercising any of the
holder's right and remedies upon default.  The failure to exercise any such
right or remedy shall not be a waiver or release of such rights or remedies or
the right to exercise any of them at another time.

    

    This Note
is to be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
Jersey.

    

    IN
TESTIMONY WHEREOF, each corporate maker has caused this instrument to be
executed in its corporate name by its President, and its corporate seal to be
hereto affixed, all by order of its Board of Directors first duly given, the day
and year first written above:

    Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies
available at law or in equity, the following provisions shall govern the Secured
Party’s right to realize upon the Pledged Property:

     

    (a)           Any
item of the Pledged Property may be sold for cash or other value in any number
of lots at brokers board, public auction or private sale and may be sold without

Company ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place or
of the time after which a private sale may be made (the “Sale Notice”)), which
notice period is hereby agreed to be commercially reasonable.  At any
sale or sales of the Pledged Property, the Company may bid for and purchase the
whole or any part of the Pledged Property and, upon compliance with the terms of
such sale, may hold, exploit and dispose of the same without further
accountability to the Secured Party.  The Company will execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such instruments, documents,
assignments, waivers, certificates, and affidavits and supply or cause to be
supplied such further information and take such further action as the Secured
Party reasonably shall require in connection with any such sale.

received by the Secured Party in respect of, sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Property shall be applied as
follows:

     

    (i)           first,
to the payment of all amounts due the Secured Party for the expenses
reimbursable to it hereunder or owed to it pursuant to Section 8.3
hereof;

     

    (ii)           second,

limitation, the Company.

     

    (c)           In

pursuant to this Agreement, the Secured Party shall have all of the rights and
remedies provided by law, including, without limitation, those under the Uniform
Commercial Code.

     

    (i)           If
the Company fails to pay such amounts due upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default which is continuing, then the Secured Party may institute a judicial
proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such
proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the
Company and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner
provided by law out of the property of Company, wherever situated.

     

    (ii)           The
Company agrees that it shall be liable for any reasonable fees, expenses and
costs incurred by the Secured Party in connection with enforcement, collection
and preservation of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation,

    In case

proceeding relating to the Company or the property of the Company or of such
other obligor or its creditors, the Secured Party (irrespective of whether the
Obligations shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Secured Party shall have made any
demand on the Company for the payment of the Obligations) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the Obligations and to file such
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Secured Party (including any claim for the reasonable legal fees
and expenses and other expenses paid or incurred by the Secured Party permitted
hereunder and of the Secured Party allowed in such judicial proceeding),
and

     

    (ii)           to
