being

-8-

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 Greystone  Business Credit II, L.L.C.

 	
 Loan and Security Agreement

 
	

 

understood that (i) each such representation and
warranty will be deemed remade as of the date on which each Loan is made and
shall not be affected by any knowledge of, or any investigation by, Lender, and
(ii) the accuracy of each such representation, warranty and covenant will be a
condition to each Loan):

          5.1 Existence and
Authority. The Mennen Trust
is, and at all times will be, duly organized and validly existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware and Wave2Wave is, and at all times will be, duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. Each Borrower is, and at all times will be, qualified and licensed to
do business in all jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would have a
material adverse effect on such Borrower. The execution, delivery and
performance by each Borrower of this Agreement and, all of the other Loan Documents
have been duly and validly authorized, do not violate such Borrower’s articles
or certificate of incorporation, by-laws, trust or other organizational
documents, as applicable, or any law or any agreement or instrument or any
court order which is binding upon such Borrower or its property, do not
constitute grounds for acceleration of any indebtedness or obligation under any
agreement or instrument which is binding upon such Borrower or its property,
and do not require the consent of any Person. This Agreement and such other
Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by, and are enforceable
against, each Borrower, and all other Obligors who have signed them, in
accordance with their respective terms. Sections 9(g) and 9(h) of Schedule A set
forth the trustees and beneficiaries of the Mennen Trust and the ownership of
Wave2Wave and the names and ownership of each Borrower’s Subsidiaries as of the
date of this Agreement.

          5.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. The name of each Borrower set forth
in the heading to this Agreement is its correct and complete legal name as of
the date hereof. Listed in Sections 9(a), 9(b) and 9(c) of Schedule A are all
prior names of each Borrower and all of Wave2Wave’s present and prior trade
names. Borrower shall give Lender at least thirty days’ prior written notice
before changing its name or doing business under any other name. Wave2Wave has
complied with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious
business name. Wave2Wave represents and warrants that (1) each trade name does
not refer to another corporation or other legal entity; and (ii) all Accounts
invoiced under any such trade names are owned exclusively by Wave2Wave and are
subject to the security interest of Lender and the other terms of this
Agreement.

          5.3 Title to Collateral; Permitted Liens. Each
Borrower has good and marketable title to its Collateral. The Collateral now is
and will at all times remain free and clear of any and all Liens, charges,
security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted
Liens. Lender now has, and will continue to have, a first-priority perfected
and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to the
Permitted Liens, and each Borrower will at all times defend Lender and the
Collateral against all claims of others. None of the Collateral which is
Equipment with a value in excess of $500,000 is or will be affixed to any real
property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Except
for leases or subleases for locations where the value of the Collateral exceeds

-9-

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 Greystone  Business Credit II, L.L.C.

 	
 Loan and Security Agreement

 
	

 

$250,000 as to which Wave2Wave has delivered to
Lender a landlord’s waiver in form and substance satisfactory to Lender,
Wave2Wave is not a lessee or sublessee under any real property lease or
sublease pursuant to which the lessor or sublessor may obtain any rights in any
of the Collateral. Wave2Wave is not a lessee or sublessee under any real property
lease or sublease pursuant to which it has granted the lessor or sublessor a
contractual lien or security interest in any of the Collateral. Except for
warehouses as to which Wave2Wave has delivered to Lender a warehouseman’s
waiver in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, Wave2Wave is not a bailor
of any Goods at any warehouse under an arrangement pursuant to which the
warehouseman may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral. Prior to causing
or permitting any Collateral (other than Collateral which is located at an
Excluded Collateral Location) to be located upon premises in which any third
party has an interest (whether as owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of
trust, lienholder or otherwise), Wave2Wave shall, whenever the value of the
Collateral at such location exceeds $250,000 or otherwise reasonably requested
by Lender, cause each such third party to execute and deliver to Lender, in
form and substance acceptable to Lender, such waivers and subordination as-
Lender shall specify, so- as to ensure that Lender’s rights in the Collateral

waived to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender may sell, pledge,
transfer or otherwise dispose of, or enter into an agreement with respect to

or any part thereof, at any broker’s board or on any exchange ‘or at public or
private sale or sales, held at such place or places in the City of New York,

conditions as Lender deems satisfactory, and, if required by law, as set forth
in any applicable notice. Lender shall not be obligated to make any such sale
pursuant to any such appliCable notice required by law. Lender may, without
notice or publication, adjourn any such sale or cause the same to be adjourned
from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and
such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so
adjourned. Lender, for its own account, may purchase any or all of the
Collateral at any public sale and, in lieu of payment of the purchase price
therefor, may set off or apply the purchase price against the Obligations.
Lender is authorized, at any sale, if it deems it advisable so to do, to
restrict the prcispective bidders or purchasers to financially reputable
persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own
account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any
of the Collateral. Upon any such sale, Lender shall have the right to deliver,
assign, and transfer to the purchaser thereof, including Lender, that portion
of the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser, including Lender, at any sale
shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right of
whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Assignor, and
Assignor hereby specifically waives and releases all rights of redemption, stay
or appraisal which it has or may have under any rule or law or statute now
existing or hereafter adopted. Lender, however, instead of exercising the power
of disposition herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or
in equity to foreclose the pledge and sell the Collateral, or any portion
thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction. After deducting from the proceeds of the foregoing sale or other
disposition of said Collateral, all expenses incurred by Lender in connection
therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), Lender shall apply such
proceeds towards the satisfaction of the Obligations and shall account to the
Assignor for any surplus of such proceeds. 

                    (d)
If at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default without cure or waiver, in the opinion of
counsel for Lender, any proposed disposition of Collateral hereunder requires
registration, qualification, notification, or other action under or compliance
with any state blue sky or securities law or the Federal Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or any rules or regulations thereunder (collectively, the“Securities Laws
”), Assignor, at the request of Lender, will as
expeditiously, as possible use its best efforts to take such action or cause
such action to be taken, comply or cause compliance with such Securities Laws
and maintain such compliance or cause such compliance to be maintained for such
period as may be necessary to permit such disposition. Assignor acknowledges
that a breach of the above covenant contained in this Section 6 may cause
irreparable injury to Lender and that Lender will have no adequate remedy at
law with respect to such breach, and consequently, Assignor agrees that the
above covenant shall be specifically enforceable and Assignor hereby waives, to
the extent such waiver is enforceable under law, and agrees not to assert any
defenses against an 

-6-

action for
specific- performance of covenant. In connection with the foregoing, Assignor
will (i) pay all expenses imposed on or demanded of Lender or any Lender under
the Securities Laws in connection with such compliance, including the expense
of furnishing to Lender an adequate number of copies of the prospectus
contained in any such registration statement, (ii) indemnify and hold Lender
harmless from and against any and all claims and liabilities caused by any
untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact
required to be stated in any registration statement, offering circular or
prospectus used in connection with such compliance, or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and (iii) pay all expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in specifically enforcing the
above covenant. 

The rights and
remedies provided herein, in the Loan Agreement and in any other agreements
between Assignor. and Lender are cumulative and are in addition to and not
exclusive of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code and any other rights or remedies provided by applicable law. Assignor hereby

attorney-in-fact in Assignor’s name, place and stead, (ii) authorizes Lender to
take, at any time after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default’ without the appropriate signature of
Assignor, any action to take any action for and on behalf of Assignor which is
required of Assignor or permitted to be taken by the Lender hereunder,
including, without limitation, voting any and all of the Stock or other
securities, as such proxy may elect, for and in the name, place and stead of
Assignor, as to all matters corning before Shareholders, and (iii) acknowledges

coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. The rights, powers and authority
of said proxy and attorney-in-fact shall remain in full force and effect, and
shall not be rescinded, revoked, terminated, amended or otherwise modified,
until all Obligations have been fully satisfied. 

                    7. No Duty Concerning Collection on
Collateral. Lender shall not be liable for its failure to give
notice to Assignor of a default under any.
agreement between Assignor and Lender. Lender shall not be liable for its
failure to use diligence to collect any amount payable in respect to the

 Insurance v RNK and Ripple Communications

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 a.

 	
 On March 13,
 2007, Farmers Insurance filed a Declaratory Judgment complaint against RNK
 and Ripple Communications, Inc. in the United States District Court of

 in the ongoing United States District Court
 of Southern District of New York action,. Jane Doe et. Al. vs. RNK Inc d//b/a RNK Telecom(Docket No. 05 CW 2602 (SCR) (LMS)). RNK’s insurance company, CHUBB
 Group of Insurance Companies, requested that Ripple Communications Inc.
 indemnify RNK for attorney fees and any damages that may be awarded in the on
 going Jane Doe dispute: CHUBB contends that the Jane Doe action is due to the
 conduct and/or negligence of Ripple Communications, a company that
 contracted with RNK to
 provide telecommunication services. CHUBS sought to enforce the
 indemnification language in the.contract between RNK and Ripple. Ripple’s insurer, Farmers Insurance, declined to
 indenuiify RNK, and has filed this Declaratory Judgment action.

 Bedford, Massachusetts Lease Dispute

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 a.

 	
 On or about March 14, 2006, RNK
 staffreceived notice from Elie Jarnrnal, General Manager of Bedford 175 Great
 Road, LLC, (“Landlord”), which owns a building rented by RNK at 175 The Great
 Road, Bedford, Massachusetts, and at which RNK maintains its critical network
 facilities, that commencing March 1, 2006, RNK would be billed
 annually for property
 insurance and other costs associated with the building. RNK had signed a
 lease extension, via amendment of the existing lease, with the Landlord on
 November 29, 2005 with an initial term of four years. starting on March 1, 2006, and ending
 February 28; 2010, with options for two additional terms of three years each.
 With the receipt of this notice, RNK realized that it was being charged too
 much for expenses as defined in the lease. As a result, RNK attempted to resolve the
 issue informally with the Landlord, but the Landlord was not interested, and
 informed RNK that he believed the parties had changed the specific language
 within the underlying lease covering expenses by including the term
 “triple-net” as a suffix to the per-square foot pricing term in the
 amendment. The Landlord then sent RNK notice of default. At that time, on the
 advice of counsel, RNK determined it would be best to pay the additional rent under protest, and reserving all
 rights, giving RNK the ability to file suit for the additional rent at any
 time. RNK continues to pay its rent and additional expenses on time each
 month under protest, has had no additional unresolved disputes with the
 landlord, enjoys an otherwise stable business relationship with the Landlord,
 and does not intend to address the issue unless RNK determines it wishes to
 move from its Bedford location.

 Vonage/Verizon
 Patent Dispute
 -

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 a.

 	
 RNK has
 examined the Verizon vs. Vonagepatent dispute for its relevance to - RNK, and
 believes that due to the technical manner in which RNK has set up its VoIP
 service, which differs materially•from Vonage’s system, RNK is not at major
 risk for a similar patent infringement suit from Verizon. In addition, due to the relatively small size of
 RNK’s VofP program as compared to Vonage’s, RNK believes it is less likely
 that Verizon would see RNK as worthy of a litigation effort.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 5.

 	
 New
 Hampshire Numbering Review

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 a.

 	
 On November 9, 2006, in its long-running
 docket regarding the deployment by.carriers of, and compensation for,
 so-called “Virtual NXX” (VNXX) calls, the New Hampshire PUC staff issued a
 memorandum recommending to the CommiSsion investigate certain uses of
 numbering resources by New Hampshire carriers, including Level 3

 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 Communications, Global NAPs, Paetee, and RNK. Specifically, the memorandum indicates there might be evidence that the carriers are
 using numbering resources for interstate toll bypass, and recommended an
 investigation by the ‘Commission into such usage. Further, the memorandum
 requested that the Commission implement its orders regarding the permissive
 use of VNXX, or, alternatively, ban the use of VNXX services, completely deregulate
 them, or consider limiting them exclusively for the purposes of provisioning
 dial-up access to the internet.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 b.

 	
 As of August 31, 2007, however, there is no
 evidence that the NH PUC intends to expend additional resources to examine
 this issue, and furtherniore, has riot taken any action in this docket
 whatsoever since January 2006. Further, RNK notes the recent departure of key
 staff person, Katy Mulholand, Assistant Director.of the Telecommunications
 Division, which has likely hampered the PUC’s ability to handle additional
 work, especially complex dockets.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 6.

 	
 7-11 Dispute

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 a.

 	
 RNK and 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-11”) entered
 into a Marketing Development Fund Agreement (the “MDP”), dated January 5,
 2007 whereby the Parties agreed to share certain marketing costs associated
 with the marketing of RNK products in 7-11 stores. Pursuant to Section 2(c)
 of the MDF, 7-Eleven was to submit to RNK its marketing plan for each period
 of the marketing campaign (with section 1 of the Agreement also specifically
 requiring that 7-11 submit the actual timeframe and details of the marketing
 campaign), which plans had to be approved by RNK prior to the commencement of
 the relevant period. Under section 4 of the Agreement, approval for such
 projects could only be granted in writing in advance by RNK. 7-11 seeks
 reimbursement for costs which RNK disputes because no plans or campaigns were
 submitted to, or approved by, RNK in the manner set forth inthe Agreement.
 RNK also disputes these claims on the grounds that all invoices were
 submitted well after the contractual bar for submission of invokes. Total
 disputed amounts equal $300,000.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 b.

 	
 The Parties are in negotiations to settle
 the matter amicably. RNK expects the matter to settle for some amount less
 than the’disputed amount.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 7.

 	
 Sprint/Vonage Patent Dispute

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 a.

 	
 RNK is currently
 conducting an examination of the recent Sprint vs. Vonage patent dispute for
 its relevance to RNK.
 After a preliminary investigation, RNK predicts that if these patents
 remain valid upon•appoal they may encompass a substantial amount Of the:Voil). industry.
 The claims. involVed appear very broad in nature, which
 rnayindicate the possibility that the appeals court would narrow the claims’ scope or invalidate them. The breadth of
 these patents may be a strong incentive for the industry to seek their
 invalidation. In addition, due to the relatively small size of RNK’s VollY
 program as compared to Vonage’s there is likely the additional reality that
 Sprint would not see RNK as worthy of a litigation effort.

ARTICLE IV.

LICENSES; OWNERSHIP; MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

Section 1. License Grant. In
all cases pursuant to and in consideration of Wave2Wave’s payment for
applicable fees thereunder:

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (a)
 INI hereby grants Wave2Wave a nonexclusive and nontransferable (except as set
 forth herein) license to use the Network Services Node, and, under its
 intellectual property rights, the 4G Technology. The duration of such license
 to the 4G Technology shall be as follows: (i) for Equipment with respect to
 which INI is the Financing Party, including the Equipment for the Lincoln
 Building, such license shall be for the Term and upon payment in full by
 Wave2Wave of the Purchase Amount, such license shall be converted to a

           (b)
 Subject to the terms of this Agreement and for Equipment with respect to
 which INI is the Financing Party, INI grants to Wave2Wave a nonexclusive,
 nontransferable, license during the Term to use the Equipment in the
 Territory until such time as title to the Equipment transfers to Wave2Wave
 pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The scope of the
 foregoing license encompasses Wave2Wave’s internal use of Equipment in
 connection with providing 4G Services to its customers, but excludes any
 sublicensing, uploading or otherwise transferring, or providing direct access
 to, the Equipment (except as necessary to accomplish the provision of the 4G
 Services to such customers) to any third party without INI’s prior written
 consent.

 

Section 2. License fees. The Parties agree that the
consideration which would otherwise be due to INI pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall be
incorporated into amounts which will otherwise be due under the Revenue Sharing
arrangement.

 Section 3. Section 365(n). Notwithstanding the

EXECUTION VERSION

possession or a trustee in bankruptcy in a case under the Code, rejects
this Agreement, then Wave2Wave may elect to retain its rights under this
Agreement as provided in Section 365(n) of the Code. The Parties further agree
that, in the event of the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding by or
against INI under the Code, Wave2Wave shall be entitled to retain all of such
rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 365(n) of the Code. INI
agrees and acknowledges that enforcement by Wave2Wave of any rights under
Section 365(n) of the Code in connection with this Agreement shall not violate
the automatic stay of Section 362 of the Code and waives any right to object on
such basis.

Section 4. Ownership. With respect to Equipment for which
INI is the Financing Party, INI solely owns all rights, title and interest in
and to the Equipment installed, and reserves all rights thereto not expressly
granted under this Agreement. Title to such Equipment shall pass to Wave2Wave
upon payment in full to INI of the Purchase Amount in accordance with Article
V. Title to Equipment for which Wave2Wave is the Financing Party shall transfer
to Wave2Wave upon the payment by Wave2Wave of the applicable Quote.

ARTICLE V.

REVENUE SHARING

          Section 1.
The Parties shall share the revenue derived from this Agreement pursuant to the
following calculation:

          “Revenue
Share” = [***]

where, with respect to any building in the Territory “Gross Revenue”
means [***], “Baseline Revenue”
means [***], and “Expenses” means [***] A detailed description of applicable
Expenses, for purposes of this Section 1 shall be agreed between the Parties in
the five (5) year business plan agreed to by each Party’s respective Board of
Directors. With respect to buildings in which Equipment with respect to which

Amount has been recovered by INI and (ii) in the event that such Financing
Party is Wave2Wave, the Applicable Percentage for purposes of calculating the
Revenue Share payable by Wave2Wave to INI shall equal [***] until such Purchase Amount has been
recovered by Wave2Wave. Following the recovery of the Purchase Amount by the
Financing Party with respect to any building, the Applicable Percentage shall
be equal to [***].

Section 2. Within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of any
calendar quarter, Wave2Wave shall remit to INI the Revenue Share, together with
an accounting, in 

EXECUTION VERSION

reasonable detail and consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles, setting forth information used to calculate the Revenue Share.

Section 3. INI shall have the right to audit Wave2Wave’s books and
records for the sole purpose of determining whether Wave2Wave has complied with
this ARTICLE V. If an audit reveals underpayment of fees due under this

  This letter shall confirm the agreement (the "Agreement")
  between incNETWORKS Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the signatory
  below (the "Investor")
  with respect to the offering by the Company and the purchase by the Investor

  In connection with the purchase of the Shares, the Investor hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with the Company that at the time of such offer and purchase and as of the date of this letter: 

  1. The Investor, if an individual, is over the age of twenty-one (21) years. 

  2. The Investor, if an individual, is a citizen
  or permanent resident of the following country
  and state or the Investor, if a trust, company, corporation or partnership,
  is formed or incorporated under the laws of the following country (for the
  purposes herein, the "United States" is defined
  to include its territories and possessions, any State of the United States

  is a development stage business. The Investor understands the risks of investment
in such a business. 

  4. The Investor (or in the case of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, the authorized person representing such entity) has carefully read through and is familiar with the Business Plan, access to which has
preceded the execution of this Agreement by the Investor. The Investor acknowledges that the 

  1

  Business Plan contains forward looking information
  regarding the Company and its operations. When used in the Business Plan, oral

  included in the Company's projections, the words or phrases "believes," "will likely result," "expects," "intends," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimates," "projects," "plans," and similar expressions are intended to identify "forward looking statements"

be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives
or plans of the Company will be achieved or that the Company will ever achieve
its objectives.

the Company or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense so that the Investor can verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Plan and/or given to the Investor at, or prior to, the time of the offer and purchase of the
Shares. 

  6. The Investor (or, in the case of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, the authorized person representing such entity) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investments generally and of the investment in the Shares in particular and the Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that HE, SHE OR IT IS ABLE TO BEAR THE ECONOMIC RISK OF THIS
INVESTMENT WITH THE FULL UNDERSTANDING THAT THE INVESTOR CAN LOSE HIS, HER OR ITS ENTIRE INVESTMENT; AND THAT THE INVESTOR CAN LOSE HIS, HER OR ITS ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES WITHOUT PRODUCING A MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN HIS, HER OR ITS
STANDARD OF LIVING AS OF THE DATE HEREOF. 

  7. The Investor is acquiring the Shares solely for the Investor's account and for investment and the Investor has no plan, intention, contract, understanding, or agreement, directly or indirectly, to sell, assign, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise transfer to any person the Shares or any part thereof. The Investor 

  2

  does not have any reason to anticipate any change in his, her or its circumstances or other particular occasion or event that would cause him, her or it to sell the Shares. 

  8. The Investor understands that the Shares
  have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
  amended (the "1933 Act"), any state of the United States, or any other law.
  The Shares will be offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from the registration
  requirements of the applicable United States securities laws. The Investor
  understands that no registration statement has been filed with the United States
  Securities and Exchange Commission nor with any other regulatory authority
  and that, as a result, any benefit which might normally accrue to a holder
  such as the Investor by an impartial review of such a registration statement
  by the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory authority will
not be forthcoming. 

  9. The undersigned (sometimes referred to
  herein as the "Investor") hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the Investor is an "accredited investor" inasmuch
as the Investor is:

  ___ An entity all the equity owners of which can respond affirmatively to at least one of the preceding paragraphs.

  10. The Investor acknowledges that the Investor
  must bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period unless
  the Shares are registered or an exemption from registration requirements of
  the 1933 Act is available. The Investor acknowledges that there can be no assurance
  that such a public offering will ever be conducted or an active trading market
  ever develop and that the Company has not made any representation or warranty
  in this regard. The Investor understands that the Shares cannot be sold unless
  such sale is registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities
  laws or exemptions from such registrations are available. In this connection,
  the Investor understands that the Shares are a "restricted security" under
  the 1933 Act and that the Shares may not be transferred by the Investor to
  any person without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent
  of the Company will require an opinion of the legal counsel of the Investor
  to the effect that, in the event the Shares are not registered under the 1933
Act, any 

  4

  proposed transfer is entitled to an exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act. 

  To this end, the Investor acknowledges that a notation indicating that the Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer shall be made in the stock register of the Company and if the Company should, in the future, appoint a
stock transfer agent for the Company, that appropriate stop transfer instructions will be issued to such stock transfer with respect to the Shares. 

  The Investor also acknowledges that a legend to the following effect will be placed upon the share certificate(s) representing ownership of the Shares: 

  The shares represented by this Certificate have not been registered or qualified under the securities laws of the United States or any state of the United States. The shares represented by this certificate may not
be offered for sale, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless so registered or qualified or unless an exemption exists, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. 

  The Investor understands that the foregoing legend on the share certificate for the Shares limits its value, including its value as collateral. 

  11. All notices, requests, demands, or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given to any party (a) when delivered personally (by courier service or otherwise); (b) when
delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; or (c) five days after being mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid:

person other than the parties to this letter or their respective successors or assigns any 

  5

  legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or provision contained herein.
