WHEREAS, in exchange for a six year 15% senior secured promissory note dated February 27, 2010 in the principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “2010 Secured Note”) Gilder lent Quamtel $1,000,000 in cash (the “Loan”);

WHEREAS, as a condition to Gilder’s funding the Loan, Quamtel and Gilder entered into that certain security agreement dated as of February 27, 2010 (the “Security Agreement”) pursuant to which Quamtel granted Gilder a first priority security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, on May 21, 2010, the Parties amended the 2010 Secured Note to, among other things, increase the amount of principal under the 2010 Secured Note to One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000) (the “Amended 2010 Secured Note”) and, upon the signing of such amendment, Gilder provided Quamtel with an additional $250,000 in cash; and

WHEREAS, Quamtel wishes to settle the outstanding amount of the Amended 2010 Secured Note, including outstanding principal, accrued interest and any default penalties or increased interest payments due as result of default, through the issuance to Gilder of restricted shares of Quamtel’s common stock as payment in full for all outstanding obligations of Quamtel under the Amended 2010 Secured Note; and

1. Issuance of Shares to Gilder. Quamtel agrees to promptly issue to Gilder six million five hundred thousand (6,500,000) restricted shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) as payment and settlement in full of all of its obligations to Gilder under the Amended 2010 Secured Note.

3. Release. Subject to and effective upon receipt of the Shares, Gilder hereby fully releases and discharges Quamtel of and from any and all obligations to Gilder under the Amended 2010 Secured Note. Specifically, Gilder agrees to completely release and forever discharge Quamtel (together with its employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or other representatives, heirs, executors, successors and assigns), of and from any and all past, present or future claims, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, rights, damages, costs, loss of services, expenses and compensation which Gilder now has, or which may hereafter accrue or otherwise be acquired by Gilder, on account of, or in any way growing out of the Amended 2010 Secured Note, and Gilder agrees not to initiate or voluntarily participate in any legal action, charge or complaint against Quamtel with respect to any such debts or obligations.

4. Termination of Security Agreement. Gilder agrees that, subject to and effective upon receipt of the Shares, the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement shall have been met in full, that all of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) shall have been fully paid and performed and that the Security Agreement shall have terminated in accordance with its terms.
