Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (the “Borrower”) and the individual, firm or entity listed on the last page of this Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Lender”). The Lender and the Borrower are sometimes individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to borrow up to an aggregate of $1,650,000 (the “Total Bridge Loan”) from the Lender and all other similarly situated lenders who enter into Bridge Loan Agreements with the Borrower (collectively the “Lenders”) to meet the immediate working capital needs of the Borrower; and

WHEREAS, Borrower desires to borrow the pro rata portion of the Total Bridge Loan set forth on the last page of this Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Loan Amount”) from the Lender; and

WHEREAS, the Borrower intends to repay the Loan Amount out of the proceeds expected to be realized by the Borrower from a $5,000,000 permanent financing private offering planned by the Borrower (the “Private Offering”) or to sooner prepay the Loan Amount on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.5 below; and

WHEREAS, the Lender together with all other similarly situated Lenders, each of whom shall participate in the Total Bridge Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis and who shall each execute his or its own bridge loan agreement and annexed promissory note with the Borrower are collectively willing to lend the Total Bridge Loan to the Borrower.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged and accepted, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Terms of the Bridge.

1.1 The Bridge. The Lender hereby agrees to lend the Loan Amount to the Borrower and the Borrower hereby accepts the Loan Amount from the Lender and agrees to repay the same in lawful money of the United States of America. The Loan Amount shall be evidenced by a nine month promissory note bearing interest at the rate of Twelve and 99/100 (12.99%) percent per annum on an actual day/360 day basis and payable on the Due Date (as that term is defined below), in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit “A” and hereby incorporated herein by reference (the “Note”). The Note shall be duly executed by the Borrower and delivered to the Lender simultaneously with the execution of this Bridge Loan Agreement.

1.2 Due Date. The Loan Amount shall be due and payable on the earlier of: (i) nine months from the date of this Bridge Loan Agreement; or (ii) the closing of the Private Offering (the “Due Date”).

1.3 Payments and Prepayments. The Borrower shall not be entitled to re-borrow any prepaid Loan Amount or other costs or charges. All payments made pursuant to this Bridge Loan Agreement shall be first applied to accrued and unpaid interest, then to any lien or other proper charges under this Bridge Loan Agreement and finally to the aggregated principal balance of the Loan Amount. Absent the foregoing, interest on the Loan Amount shall be due and payable in one lump sum on the Due Date.

1.4 Closings. The closing of the Bridge shall take place simultaneously with the execution of this Bridge Loan Agreement via facsimile. Simultaneously with the execution of this Bridge Loan Agreement, the Lender shall deliver the Loan Amount to the Borrower via the Lender’s personal check, by federal wire transfer or such other manner as shall be mutually agreed upon between the Borrower and the Lender (the “Closing”). At the Closing, the Borrower shall deliver: (i) this Bridge Loan Agreement duly executed by the Borrower; (ii) the Note duly executed by the Borrower; and (iii) the Warrant described and defined in Section 1.5 below duly executed by the Borrower.

1.5 Call Option. The Borrower shall have the exclusive and non-transferable right and option at any time following the Conditions Precedent (as that term is defined below in this Paragraph 1.5) to demand that the Lender surrender the Note to the Borrower for prepayment of the outstanding principal and accrued interest due thereunder (the “Call Option”). The Borrower cannot exercise the Call Option and prepay the Note until and unless it furnishes the Lender with 45 days advanced written notice of the Borrower’s exercise of the Call Option (the “Call Option Notice”). The Call Option Notice, which must set forth evidence of compliance with the Conditions Precedent, shall set a closing date not later than five business days after the date of the Call Option Notice where the Borrower shall repay the Note in full (the “Call Option Closing”). At the Call Option Closing, the Lender shall surrender the original Note to the Borrower against good funds representing full amount of unpaid principal of the Note and all accrued interest due thereunder.

The Borrower’s right to exercise the Call Option, to issue a Call Option Notice and prepay the Note is and shall be explicitly conditioned upon the following two conditions: (i) the last sale price (i.e., the closing bid price for the Borrower’s Common Stock in the Pink Sheet market or the OTC Bulletin Board market as reported by the Pink Sheets, LLC, NASDAQ or similar publisher of such quotations) for 20 consecutive trading days shall be $1.35 or greater; and (ii) a minimum average daily trading volume of 50,000 shares during such 20 day trading period (collectively the “Conditions Precedent”). The Call Option Notice shall be mailed to the Lender at its, his or her address appearing in the Agreement with a copy sent via email to the email address appearing in the Agreement and shall be effective as of the day sent. The Lender shall have the absolute right to convert all or any portion of the Note at any time prior to repayment by the Borrower without regard to or compliance with the Call Option.

1.6 Additional Consideration. As additional consideration for the Loan Amount, the Borrower hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

A. Simultaneously with the execution of this Bridge Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall cause the issuance and delivery to the Lender of a warrant in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit “B” and hereby incorporated herein by reference with a five (5) year term (the “Warrant”) entitling the Lender to purchase an aggregate of one share of the Borrower’s Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) for each $.90 of the Loan Amount loaned to the Borrower hereunder (the “Warrant Shares”). In the event the Total Bridge Loan is lent to the Borrower by the Lenders, the Borrower will issue an aggregate of 1,833,333 Warrant Shares to the Lenders. The Warrant shall be exercisable at a price of $.45 per Warrant Share, the same price expected to be paid by investors in the Private Offering. The Warrant Shares, which initially will be unregistered (i.e., restricted) securities as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), shall be registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the following:

1.) If at any time during the five-year term of the Warrants, the Borrower proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act (a “Registration Statement”); it will at such time give written notice to the Lender of its intention to do so. Upon written request of the Lender, given within 15 days after the giving of any such notice by the Borrower, the Borrower will advise the Lender that it shall include the Lender’s Warrant Shares in the Registration Statement. If, however, the offering to which the Registration Statement relates is to be distributed by or through an underwriter or placement agent approved by the Borrower, the Lender may at the Lender’s option agree to sell the Warrant Shares through such underwriter or placement agent on the same terms and conditions as the underwriter or placement agent agrees to sell the other securities proposed to be registered. In addition, if such underwriter or placement agent determines that the inclusion of all the Warrant Shares sought to be sold would have an adverse effect on the offering, the Lender shall only be entitled to participate in the underwriting and register the Lender’s Warrant Shares on a pro rata basis or as such other lesser quantity of the Warrant Shares as the underwriter or placement agent may determine in its discretion.

2.) The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that it shall prepare and promptly file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) all amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement as may be necessary under the Securities Act and the regulations of the Commission to permit the sale of the Warrant Shares to the public; and

3.) The rights of the Lender hereof pursuant to this Section 1.5 may be exercised only by the Lender or any affiliate thereof.

B. The Lenders shall have the right and option to convert the entire unpaid balance of the Total Loan Amount and all unpaid interest due thereunder into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $.45 per share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”). The Borrower shall register the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act in the same manner as the Warrant Shares; and the Conversion Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Warrant Shares. If the Total Loan Amount principal is converted to Common Stock, the Borrower will issue an aggregate of 3,666,667 Conversion Shares to the Lenders.

Brief Description of the Company.

2.1 Overview. The Borrower is a Denver based company with 15 employees and approximately 428 stockholders. The Borrower’s Common Stock currently trades in the Pink Sheets under the symbol XXXX.XX. Following the approval of the Commission of the Borrower’s Registration Statement on Form 10 (hereinafter described in Section 3 below) and the approval after final review of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to the Form 211 application of a registered broker dealer for the commencement of trading, the Borrower expects that its Common Stock will be approved for trading on the OTCBB Market.

A. As set forth in greater detail in Exhibit “C”, Summary Description of Business annexed to this Bridge Loan Agreement, the Borrower is a broadband voice and data service provider to the cable industry and to business customers nationwide. The Borrower utilizes broadband data access (including cable system networks and the Internet) to furnish a suite of voice and data communications services. The Borrower is often referred to as a hosted provider because it serves as a single point of contact to its cable system operator and small business customers, “hosting” various desired Internet Protocol (“IP”) based communications services.

2.2 Recent Events. The Borrower recently attracted 35-year cable industry veteran Xxx Xxxxxxx as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer pending the closing of the Private Offering. In addition, the Borrower has attracted three designees for the board of directors and one nominee for Chief Financial Officer with significant experience in providing services to the communications industries (See Section 7 “Management” on page 8). The Borrower has recently completed a service agreement with Level 3 Communications, Inc. (“Level 3”) and a reseller agreement with C-COR (“C-COR,” currently being acquired by Arris Group Inc.). The Borrower believes that it has assembled the right industry relationships along with its VoIP product, to successfully serve the unmet needs of cable systems located in smaller geographic markets to offer VoIP phone service to their existing cable subscribers.

2.3 Service to Cable Operators. The Borrower provides voice-over-internet (“VoIP”) telephony service for the commercial and residential customers of cable system operators. The Borrower’s service agreement with Xxxxx 0, a national broadband backbone provider, allows the Borrower to offer its cable system customers carrier-grade broadband access anywhere in the country, and with the ability for their voice customers to terminate calls anywhere in the world.

A. While large cable operators have begun offering VoIP telephony in major United States cities, few operators currently have a voice product available in smaller “Tier 2” and “Tier 3” markets.

B. The Borrower’s proven technology works seamlessly on broadband networks worldwide, including those offered by cable companies.

C. This allows cable operators to use the Borrower’s voice service for their customers to complete the “triple play” bundle of video, data and voice.

D. The Borrower can also provide fully-supported hosted VoIP services to the “Big Three” cable operators in major “Tier 1” metropolitan markets by focusing on the mix of commercial services SMBs require, while helping the “Big Three” multiple system operators (“MSOs”, including Time Warner Cable, Comcast Cable Communications and Xxx Communications) to better penetrate the commercial market.

2.4 Service to Business Customers: The Borrower’s business customers use their broadband connection (including cable-delivered broadband) to the Internet to reach our gateway servers (that is, a means of electronically managing and routing calls) which then directs their call to a national broadband network to connect to any phone at any destination in the world.

A. The Borrower’s voice and network services help our business customers save money on their communications costs, reduce technical complexity, and increase business productivity.

2.5 The Borrower’s Business Development is Directly Assisted by Major Industry Partners. The market for cable-delivered VoIP is projected by the Cable & Television Association for Marketing (“CTAM”) to be 21 million subscribers, representing $8.1 billion in industry revenue by 2010. Through the Borrower’s service agreements with a national network provider and a cable technology provider, the Borrower has the opportunity to more quickly reach cable operators and SMB customers nationwide. The Borrower anticipates serving over 50,000 VoIP subscribers by year-end 2008.

Form 10-SB Incorporated by Reference and the Lender’s Awareness.

On September 26, 2007, the Borrower filed a Registration Statement on Form 10-SB with the Commission (the “Form 10”), the text of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. By virtue of the Lender’s initials in the separate box set fort on the signature page of this Bridge Loan Agreement, the Lender hereby represents to the Borrower that: (i) the Lender is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act; (ii) the Lender is familiar with a Registration Statement on Form 10-SB; and (iii) the Lender has been furnished with the opportunity to receive a copy of the Form 10 from the Borrower together with such other information and documentation as the Lender has requested to satisfy the Lender’s due diligence needs with respect to the Loan Amount and the risks associated therewith, particularly the risks set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Form 10 as set forth in Section 4 below.

Risk Factors Associated with the Borrower and the Note.

An investment in the Borrower involves a high degree of risk and should be considered only by a Lender who can sustain the loss of the Lender’s entire investment. Accordingly, and by virtue of the Lender’s initials in the separate box set fort on the signature

page of this Bridge Loan Agreement, the Lender hereby represent that, prior to the signing of this Bridge Loan Agreement, the Lender have read the 26 risk disclosures contained under the caption “Risk Factors” set forth starting on page 23 of the Form 10 as well as the following special risks:

4.1 Possible Undercapitalization. This Offering is being made by the Borrower on a strictly “best efforts” basis. There is no minimum amount of Total Bridge Loans that must be advanced by the Lenders nor are there any escrow provisions or protection. All funds received from investors will be deposited in the Borrower’s operating account and immediately utilized for working capital purposes. In the event insufficient capital is available through the Private Offering, there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available when needed, and the Borrower may be deemed to be undercapitalized and may be unable to implement or to carry out its business plan. While management believes that it will be successful in raising the capital contemplated by the Private Offering, there can be no assurance thereof. In the event the Borrower is undercapitalized, the risk of failure will, in all probability, be borne primarily by the purchasers of the Lenders;

4.2 Amendments to Rule 144. On November 15, 2007 the Commission adopted changes to Rule 144 which among other things, shorten the holding period for restricted (i.e., unregistered) shares of publicly owned companies from one year to six months. There can be no assurance that the Borrower will have registered the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Loans or the exercise of the Warrant in the Registration Statement prior to August 2008 when the same will become eligible for sale under Rule 144 or that the Borrower will then be in compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144 necessary to allow the Lender’s use of Rule 144;

4.3 Insolvency of the Borrower. As of the date of this Bridge Loan Agreement, the Borrower may legally be deemed to be insolvent in that its liabilities exceed its assets, it has a negative shareholder equity balance, has outstanding liabilities that cannot presently be met by its revenues, and has effectively no market value as a “Pink-Sheet” traded company;

4.4 OTCBB Trading. The listing of the Borrower’s Common Stock on the OTCBB Market and the commencement of trading thereon will be dependent upon both the Commission’s final review of the Form 10 and the final review of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to the application of a registered broker dealer for the commencement of trading on the OTCBB Market (the “Form 211”). The Form 10 automatically became effective on November 25, 2007 (60 days after filing) despite the fact that the Borrower has not finished responding to all of the Commission’s comments; and the Form 211 will not become effective until the submitting broker dealer is finished responding to the comments of FINRA. Accordingly, the Borrower can offer no assurance as to when, if ever, that its Common Stock will commence trading on the OTCBB Market; and

4.5 “Stale” Financial Information. The selected financial information set forth below in Section 5 is as of June 30, 2007 and not September 30, 2007 as would normally be the case for a company whose Form 10 Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Since the Form 10 did not become effective under the Exchange Act until November 25, 2007, the Borrower was not required to file a Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007; and its next required filing will be its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, containing audited financial statements for the two fiscal years then ended. Accordingly, the Lenders will be making their investment decision to invest in the Borrower based upon what would normally be deemed to be “stale” financial statements. In the absence of reviewed financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Lenders will be relegated to relying upon the verbal assurance of the Borrower’s management that the Borrower’s financial condition has not materially degenerated during this period.

Upon compliance with the Conditions Precedent, the Borrower shall have the right to exercise the Call Option to pay or prepay, without penalty, all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note together with any accrued interest. The Borrower shall not be entitled to re-borrow any prepaid amounts of the principal, interest or other costs or charges. The Borrower is duly authorized to enter into this Note.

Conversion.

At any time and from time to time prior to the Due Date or the Call Option Closing and not thereafter, the Holder shall have the right to convert the entire unpaid principal balance and all unpaid interest into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Conversion Shares”) at $.45 per Conversion Share (the “Conversion Price”) on the following terms and conditions:

A. Fair Conversion Price. The price the Borrower utilized in determining how many Conversion Shares the Holder shall be entitled to receive, although arbitrarily determined, is nonetheless hereby acknowledged and accepted by the Borrower and Holder as fair and equitable given the Borrower’s precarious financial condition and immediate need for capital;

B. Manner of Conversion. On the Holder’s presentation to the Borrower of a duly executed Notice of Conversion in the form annexed to this Note together with the original executed copy of this Note, the Holder shall be entitled, subject to the limitations herein contained, to receive in exchange therefore a certificate or certificates for fully paid and non-assessable Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price per Conversion Share. This Note shall be deemed to have been converted and the person converting the same to have become the holder of record of Conversion Shares, for the purpose of receiving dividends and for all other purposes whatever as of the date when the Notice of Conversion and this Note are surrendered to the Borrower as aforesaid.

C. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Conversion Shares shall be issuable upon any conversion, it being intended and agreed that the number of Conversion Shares to be received by a Holder upon conversion of this Note be rounded out (up or down) to the nearest whole share;

D. Reservation of Shares. So long as any portion of the principal amount of this Note shall remain unpaid, the Borrower shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued common share capitalization, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such number of Conversion Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest of this Note. The Borrower shall from time to time increase its authorized common share capitalization and take such other action as may be necessary to permit the issuance from time to time of the Conversion Shares as fully paid and non-assessable securities upon the conversion of this Note;

E. Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall pay any and all taxes which may be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of the Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note as herein provided. However, the Borrower shall not be required in any event, to pay any transfer or other taxes by reason of the issuance of such Shares in names other than that of the Holder and no such conversion or issuance of Conversion Shares shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issuance has paid to the Holder the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Borrower, and its transfer agent, if any, that no such tax is payable or has been paid;

F. Dividends. Upon any conversion of this Note, as herein provided, no adjustment or allowance shall be made for accumulated dividends on the Conversion Shares, all rights to dividends, if any, shall commence as of the date of issuance thereof, and nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower from its obligation to pay any dividends which shall thereafter be declared and shall be payable to Holders of Conversion Shares of record as of a date prior to such conversion even though the payment date for such dividend is subsequent to the date of conversion;

G. Investment Representations. The Holder has been advised, and by the acceptance of this Note, agrees and acknowledges that until and unless the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), none of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall have been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities law; and that the Borrower is relying upon an exemption from registration based upon the Holder’s investment representations. In this regard, the Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that: (i) in the event the Holder avails himself of the conversion feature of this Note, the Holder will acquire the Conversion Shares for investment purposes and without a view to the transfer or resale thereof; (ii) in the event the Holder avails himself of the conversion feature of this Note, the Holder will hold the Conversion Shares until the earlier of the effective date of the Registration Statement defined in Section H. below or such later time as may be required under the Securities Act; (iii) any sale of the Conversion Shares will be accomplished only in accordance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted thereunder; and (iv) the Holder hereby consents to the issuance by the Borrower of a standard form of stop transfer order against any and all certificates representing the Conversion Shares on the books and records of the Borrower and its transfer agent; and consents to the Borrower placing a standard form of investment legend on any and all certificates representing the Conversion Shares;

H. Registration Rights. The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the Conversion Shares shall be registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the following:

1). If at any time prior to the repayment of the full Loan Amount, the Borrower proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act (a “Registration Statement”); it will at such time give written notice to the Holder of its intention to do so. Upon written request of the Holder, given within 15 days after the giving of any such notice by the Borrower, the Borrower will advise the Holder that it shall include its Conversion Shares in the Registration Statement. If, however, the offering to which the Registration Statement relates is to be distributed by or through an underwriter or placement agent approved by the Borrower, the Holder may at his option agree to sell the Conversion Shares through such underwriter or placement agent on the same terms and conditions as the underwriter agrees to sell the other securities proposed to be registered. In addition, if such underwriter or placement agent determines that the inclusion of all the Conversion Shares sought to be sold would have an adverse effect on the offering, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in the underwriting and register the Holder’s Conversion Shares on a pro rata basis or in such other lesser quantity of the Conversion Shares as the underwriter or placement agent may determine in its discretion;

B. The Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall prepare and promptly file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) all amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement as may be necessary under the Securities Act and the regulations of the Commission to permit the sale of the Conversion Shares to the public; and

C. The rights of the Holders hereof pursuant to this Section 2 may be exercised only by the Holder or any affiliate thereof.

Events of Default.

This Note is made pursuant to the Bridge Loan Agreement. Any default of any obligation by the Borrower under this Note shall constitute an Event of Default of the obligations of the Borrower under the Bridge Loan Agreement, and any Event of Default under the Bridge Loan Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under this Note. The Borrower acknowledges that this Note is enforceable, valid and binding upon the Borrower. If for any reason, any court authority or governmental entity declares this Note invalid, unlawful or against public policy, then, the parties hereto acknowledge that neither the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Note, nor any of the covenants, obligations or representations of the parties contained within the Bridge Loan Agreement shall be affected by such declaration.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as that term is defined in Section 3 of the Bridge Loan Agreement, then and in such event, the Borrower will be deemed to have defaulted under this Note and the Holder may, on written notice, accelerate all payments due under this Note or have the rights and remedies set forth in Section 3 of the Bridge Loan Agreement.

Cumulative Remedies.

The rights and remedies of the Holder hereof under this Note shall be deemed cumulative, and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not be regarded as barring any other remedy or remedies. The institution of any action to recovery any portion of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right of the Holder.

Assignments.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Borrower nor the Holder shall assign or transfer any rights or obligations hereunder, except that: (i) the Borrower may assign or transfer this Note to a successor corporation in the event of a merger, consolidation or transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, provided that no such further assignment shall relieve the Borrower from liability for the obligations assumed by it hereunder; and (ii) the Holder may assign this Note so long as such assignment does not violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

SUMMARY BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

VoIP for Cable. IPtimize, Inc. is a broadband voice and data service provider to the cable TV industry and to business customers nationwide.

•

We utilize broadband data access (including cable TV data and the Internet) to furnish a suite of voice and data communications services.

•

We are often referred to as a hosted provider because we serve as a single point of contact to our cable TV operator and small business customers, “hosting” various desired Internet Protocol (“IP”)-based communications services.

•

We assist and provide voice-over-internet (“VoIP”) telephony service for the commercial and residential customers of cable system operators.

•

While large cable TV operators have begun offering VoIP telephony in major United States cities, few currently have a voice product available in smaller markets.

•

We created our technology to work seamlessly on different broadband networks, including those offered by cable TV companies.

•

This allows cable TV operators to use our voice service for their customers, making us a valued partner to cable TV operators that wish to include VoIP in their total product offering to their customers.

•

Our business customers - served jointly through our cable TV partners - use their broadband connection to the Internet to reach our gateway servers (that is, a means of electronically managing and routing calls) which then directs their call to a national broadband network to connect to any phone at any destination in the world.

•

Our voice and network services help our business customers save money on their communications costs, reduce complexity, and increase productivity.

•

We focus on Broadband Voice and Data to the cable TV industry and to business customers (often referred to as VoIP for business), delivering quality communications services that work reliably on our customers’ existing cable system and computer networks.

•

VoIP phone service can be described variously as “digital phone,” “cable phone,” “VoIP,” or “Internet phone,” depending on the group describing the service.

•

“Digital phone” typically refers to the nature of the service as provided in digital packets over a data network and compared to analog, landline phone service.

•

“Cable phone” more generically refers to voice service as delivered over a cable TV network.

•

“Voice-over-Internet” or “Internet phone” refers to voice service delivered over non-dedicated routes on the Internet such as the “best efforts” service provided by Vonage.

Why IPtimize Works for Cable Operators. Developing a broadband voice product would be prohibitively expensive for most of the 7,090 separate cable TV systems operating in the United States.

•

“Tier 2” and “Tier 3” metropolitan and rural markets typically have fewer than 200,000 cable TV subscribers.

•

Even among the “Big Three” cable TV system operators (i.e., Comcast, Time Warner and Cox) the technology employed in each individual system in smaller markets is disparate, a legacy of the acquisition of cable operations in the industry over the past twenty years.

•

In addition, smaller cable systems do not serve enough subscribers to cost-effectively deploy advanced communications switches (built for up to 200,000 customers) or to negotiate national carrier agreements.

•

Neither Comcast, nor Time Warner nor Cox presently has a common voice product which can be used uniformly at all of their smaller cable systems in the Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.

•

With IPtimize, cable TV operators in Tier 2 and Tier 3 metropolitan and rural markets can quickly get to market with carrier-grade, private-label VoIP services using our hosted platform on a private label basis.

•

We manage the delivery, billing and customer support of VoIP service for cable operators so their residential and commercial customers can benefit from the features, reliability and quality experience currently only available from the largest cable systems in major cities.

•

We are presently in discussions with some of the largest multiple system operators (“MSOs”) to serve their cable TV systems in the smaller markets.

•

We can also provide VoIP service for business customers of cable TV systems in Tier 1 markets. Cable TV companies can use our innovative hosted service - designed to meet the office network needs of small-to-medium-sized business (“SMB”) customers – to expand their reach to the commercial market.

•

We recently completed a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with Level 3 Communications, Inc. (“Level 3,” NASDAQ symbol: LVLT), one of the largest national broadband networks in the United States and have passed its network interoperability certification program.

•

The MSA allows us to offer our cable TV system customers carrier-grade broadband access anywhere in the country, and with the ability for their voice customers to terminate calls anywhere in the world.

•

Level 3 is the underlying provider of broadband access to over 40 million end-users.

•

Because of Level 3’s required minimum volume of traffic to use their network, a direct agreement with Level 3 would not be cost-effective for most individual cable systems.

•

To compete with non-cable broadband services, cable operators in Tier 2 and Tier 3 metropolitan markets have an immediate need for VoIP services to offer their customers a “triple play” bundle of services (i.e., video programming, high speed internet access and full-featured digital phone service).

•

We intend to utilize the MSA together with our agreement with C-COR (as described in the next paragraph) and our unique open architecture delivery technology to aggregate and fulfill that need through a connection to a national backbone.

•

By fulfilling this need, we offer the cable operators in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets a means of competing more effectively against the loss of subscribers to satellite and traditional telephony service providers.

•

On November 9, 2007, we completed a reseller agreement with C-COR, Incorporated (“C-COR,” currently being acquired by Arris Group Inc., NASDAQ symbol: ARRS), a leading provider of diagnostic software systems to the cable industry, which allows us to manage our voice traffic within the unique technical requirements inherent in the broadband offered by cable operators.

•

When the cable TV industry developed the ability to offer broadband over its network architecture, it had to address different technical requirements compared to the delivery of data over fiber optic lines.

•

A central development was the use of Data over Cable Service Interface Specifications (“DOCSIS”) as a protocol for routing data traffic. As such, C-COR created network diagnostic and management software that works within the DOCSIS protocol.

•

Our agreement with C-COR provides us with access to C-COR’s proprietary technology which we intend to utilize to manage the delivery our hosted VoIP service to any customer using broadband from a cable company.

•

Our unique architecture, seamless integration with cable high speed broadband networks, and our customer support allow us to provide a private label voice solution for smaller cable operators in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.

•

We developed our VoIP technology to be agnostic, or indifferent, to any particular broadband network, as well as agnostic to any particular terminal equipment (including routers, firewalls, handsets and security policies).

•

Presently, our primary competition has built their VoIP solutions based upon their proprietary broadband networks or special terminal equipment. For this reason, cable operators currently do not integrate our competitor’s voice products into their cable broadband network.

•

Cable TV subscribers generally follow the distribution of population in major cities in the United States. However, the majority of the 7,090 individual cable TV system (including “head-ends,” which are technical network elements within a cable system to reach customers) in the United States are located in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, each with a limited base of subscribers on which a system operator could invest in proprietary VoIP capability.

•

Through our distribution partnership with cable TV operators, we project serving over 50,000 VoIP subscribers by year-end 2008.

•

The following tables briefly describe the economic value to IPtimize of providing our VoicePilot hosted VoIP solution to cable operators. For each monthly subscriber fee of paid to the cable company, the cable TV system pays IPtimize $18 for the provisioning and support of the VoIP service. We expect to maintain an approximate 67% gross margin on service to the cable TV industry.

Unit Economics per Cable Subscriber


	$ per month		Annual Revenue / Profit Based on:
		100,000 subs			300,000 subs		500,00 subs
Subsciber Price Paid to Cable Company	$ $	34.99 - 44.99		$	42.0	mil.	$	126.0	mil.	$	209.9	mil.

IPtimize Gross Margin	$	12.00		$	14.4	mil.	$	43.3	mil.	$	72.0	mil.

•

As described below, there are roughly 12 million cable phone subscribers today; if we provide service to a mix of cable systems totaling only 500,000 subscribers (4% of the current base), we would have over $100 million in revenue.

Voice is a Critical Service Product to the Cable Industry According to the National Cable Television Association’s “NCTA 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx,” xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx cable industry served 65.6 million households in 2006, representing 58.8% of all national television households. The industry is estimated to earn $74.7 billion in subscription revenues in 2007 and an additional $26.9 billion in advertising revenue. These percentages and revenues do not include 28.0 million satellite television subscribers (25.1% of households).

•

At the end of 2006, 32 million cable TV customers subscribed to digital cable television services, representing 48.8% of all cable TV customers. However, after roughly 20 years of growth, the number of new cable TV subscribers has plateaued.

•

In addition, the cable TV industry faces increasing competition from satellite/DBS television and from the traditional telephone companies for high speed internet access services (broadband).

•

To retain customers and increase revenues, the cable industry now looks to the addition of voice services for new growth.

•

The cable TV industry’s growth can be attributed to the convenience and value offered by the industry’s “triple play” bundle of services: video programming, high speed internet access and full-featured digital phone service. Because of its investment in digital infrastructure upgrades, cable can deliver all three services efficiently over a single broadband connection to the home.

•

At the end of 2006, 28.9 million households, or 44.1% of total households, subscribed to high speed internet access, and an additional two million businesses purchased their broadband from cable.

•

As of June 2007, 12.1 million cable TV households subscribed to digital phone service, representing 14% of all cable TV households (27% of digital cable TV households).

•

According to the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM), cable phone is projected to grow to 21 million subscribers by 2010, representing $8.1 billion in industry revenue.

•

The cable industry added 2.2 million residential phone customers in the first half of 2007, according to Xxxxxxxxx Research Group, Inc.

•

Across four separate industry research groups, the median estimate for projected total residential VoIP use from all sources (cable and non-cable) is 35.1 million subscribers by 2010.

•

In a consumer survey of potential cable phone customers, conducted in late 2006, reliability of phone service was indicated as the highest response (82%), followed by monthly service price (76%), compared to the importance of cable phone included in a bundled service package (36%).

•

After a rapid rise of new cable systems in the 1980s, the cable industry has continued to consolidate, falling from a high of 11,200 individual systems in 1994 to 7,090 in 2006.

•

Based on a simple calculation of total subscribers divided by the number of systems, there is an average of only 9,252 subscribers per cable TV system.

•

Because Comcast and Time Warner, the two largest multiple system operators, represent 37.5 million subscribers, or 57.3% of cable households, the significant majority of cable systems are smaller and likely to be a potential customer for our hosted VoIP services. The “Big Three” cable TV companies also own smaller systems in the Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets which can also be served by us.

•

Moreover, we can provide VoIP service to commercial customers for the “Big Three” cable TV companies in their Tier 1 markets, providing an integrated suite of support services not currently offered by them.

Why Broadband Voice and Data is Growing So Quickly. The following statistics define why we are enjoying rapid growth in our industry:

• Broadband voice and data IP is a large emerging market opportunity for commercial customers, growing from $200M to over $6.7B in 2008 (IDC);

• Broadband voice and data IP Voice is the fastest growing telecom service being adopted by SMBs;

• Broadband voice and data IP market is a fragmented industry populated by roughly 200 small companies without a clear leader;

• Large incumbents have entered the market but are not focused on SMB customers;

• Industry is driven by emerging players with a scalable model.

Clear Demand From Business Voice and data for business is the next generation of explosive growth in the communications industry, affecting the way businesses communicate. Calls will no longer be carried over traditional telephone lines; instead, the computer has become the phone, integrating additional call functionality that improves productivity and reduces cost. We are well positioned to drive the adoption of VoIP for business and IP-based solutions by SMB’s by managing the way they use their current networks with our Voice Pilot brand of service, especially taking into account the following factors:

•

Less than 25% of the 120 million US businesses are currently “IP-enabled”;

•

43% of businesses will upgrade to an IP-based solution in the next three years; and

•

Gartner projects that by 2009, 97% of all business phone systems will be IP-based versus traditional telephony.

We Competitively Serve SMB Businesses While VoIP for business has seen dramatic growth by cable companies and start-ups in the residential market, roughly 85% of all existing business networks are not ready for VoIP. We are growing rapidly by driving the adoption of VoIP for business by our business customers – managing the broadband and network requirements of their existing networks and hosting their VoIP for business service on a monthly recurring service basis that:

•

Reduces costs

•

Simplifies network management

•

Enhances productivity

We intend to primarily penetrate the SMB market through our relationships with cable systems nationwide. While the cable industry has historically been seen as “entertainment” to the residential market, the bundling of high speed Internet access and voice service has made the cable industry a major competitor for commercial customers, and specifically SMB customers. Today, high speed Internet access delivered by cable provides 10 megabits of data speed, roughly ten times as much capacity as a “T-1’ data line provided by traditional telecommunications providers.

Our VoicePilot hosted VoIP service, including the management of our traffic across a national data backbone, allows us to offer our commercial customers “carrier-grade” service. Carrier-grade refers to a general high expectation of reliability of service. This is in comparison to Vonage or other consumer VoIP offerings that are referred to as “best efforts,” in that they do not manage the hand-off of their call traffic to guarantee reliability or call quality. Our service platform provides the high standards of reliability our business customers expect, due to the following critical elements:

1.	Managed Network – Our services are managed from our customers’ premises through a national network to its termination anywhere in the world;

2.	Redundancy – Including our relationship with a national broadband network, our data and voice traffic has multiple routes available in which to complete each call, offering redundant access at all times; and

3.	Infrastructure – We employ multiple back-up systems, power supplies and duplicate facilities to ensure that our services all always available.

Small-To-Medium-Sized Business (SMB) is Also Attractive to IPtimize The following key elements identify our focus on the SMB customer as the primary market for our services:

1.	Most SMB’s have premise-based systems (“PBX” and related hardware to manage call traffic in the office):

•

Less than 25% of 120 million business lines are IP-based; and

•

43% of enterprises will buy or upgrade to an IP based solution by 2008.

2.	Broadband voice and data IP services are being considered by many SMB’s:

•

30% of SMB’s have considered hosted IP services;

•

Broadband voice and data IP solutions are best for companies between 10-300 employees with the sweet spot being 25-60 seats per location;

3.	Broadband voice and data IP services market is extremely fragmented:

•

Estimate of 500,000 hosted IP seats in service in 2006 with roughly 200 providers competing for the seats.

The “VoicePilot” Brand

Voice PilotSM, our enterprise VoIP for business offering, provides clients with a managed, integrated voice service from a desktop application on their computer.

•

Using the computer’s “IP address” on the data network, our clients can manage their calls and voice mail, along with productivity-enhancing features, at a lower cost and with greater efficiency than the traditional paradigm of separate data and telephony networks.

•

No longer tied to the office phone line, we help to eliminate the costs of PBX equipment and Maintenance, and provide a platform for easier mobility.

•

Our customers enjoy increased functionality from our voice service (designed on the “IP Centrex” model of VoIP for business configuration) because it more fully integrates calls with their contact manager and scheduling software applications on their computer, and provides easier management of multiple phone extensions and voice messages, when managed as data on their IP network.

•

We view telephones (a computer “accessory”) as new “clients” on the IP network, so that the traditional functions of managing voice calls now interface directly with the business-enabling applications that run the day-to-day operations of our clients.
