ITEM 2.01  COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On January 29, 2009, five wholly owned subsidiaries of Flint Telecom Group, Inc. (“Flint”) merged with six wholly owned subsidiaries of China Voice Holding Corp. (“CHVC”) in exchange for 21,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock and $1,500,000 in cash, $500,000 of which was paid at the Closing, a second installment in the amount of $500,000 to be paid on February 12, 2009 and the remaining $500,000 to be paid on March 31, 2009, pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The CHVC subsidiary companies that Flint acquired provide the following telecom services and / or distribute the following telecom products:

 
·
CVC  Int’l, Inc. was  established  in January  2007, and is a provider of wholesale VoIP telecommunications services located in South Florida.

 
·
Cable and Voice Corporation  was  established  on June 1,  2008,  and is a master distributor of advanced  broadband  products and services located in Tampa, Florida.

 
·
StarCom  Alliance, Inc. was established  in  January  2008, and is a master distributor of prepaid cellular products and services.

 
·
Phone House Inc.  of Florida was established on March 6, 2008, Phone House, Inc. of California was established on June 12, 2001 (and subsequently acquired by CHVC in June 2007) and Dial-Tone Communication Inc. was established on July 19, 2007; each provides discount calling cards that enable users who purchase cards in the United States to call China, India, Mexico, Africa, South America,  Brazil,  Bangladesh,  and other countries throughout the world at significant savings.
 
 

As part of the closing of the transaction and in addition to the issuance of the common stock and cash paid as noted above, Flint also acquired 15,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of CHVC in exchange for $1,500,000, $750,000 of which will be paid on February 27, 2009 and the remaining $750,000 to be paid on April 30, 2009, pursuant to the CHVC Stock Purchase Agreement. Additionally, Flint issued a Promissory Note to CHVC dated January 29, 2009, in an amount of $7,000,000, pursuant to which Flint is obligated to make payments as follows: $2,333,333.33 on or before December 31, 2009; $2,333,333.33 on or before July 31, 2010, and $2,333,333.34, plus any remaining balance due on the Note on or before December 31, 2010 (the “Note”). The Note shall not bear any interest pre-default; The Note will bear interest at Eighteen percent (18%) per year for any period of time when a payment is past due. 15,000,000 shares of CHVC restricted common stock are attached to the Note as collateral, pursuant to a Security Agreement.  The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Note and Security Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Note and Security Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, and are incorporated herein by reference. 

In determining the amount of cash and number of common shares of Flint to be issued to CHVC in the merger, their respective managements placed primary value on the Targets’ assets, including the ongoing involvement of Bill Burbank in operating the Targets and bringing cost savings to be achieved through economies of scale to Flint, as the Parent Company.  Additional factors that were considered were the operational synergies between the two companies, and the ability to reduce a material amount of expenses through consolidation of the companies.  Management expects the merger to result in a profitable ongoing business with meaningful revenues and, in the short term, to give management the ability to raise adequate operating capital so that the combined company can reach profitability sooner together as a combined entity, rather than continuing to operate independently.

In order to finance the transaction, Flint simultaneously entered into a Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Redquartz Atlanta, LLC (“Redquartz”), in which Flint sold to Redquartz 5,454,545 shares of Flint restricted common stock at $0.275 per share and issued 3,750,000 warrants to purchase shares of Flint’s common stock at $0.40 per share, having a three year term and a cashless exercise provision, in exchange for $1,500,000. Additionally, on January 29, 2009, Flint entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Mr. David Tracey, in which we sold 1,454,545 shares of restricted common stock at $0.275 per share to Mr. Tracey in exchange for $400,000. The foregoing description of the common stock and warrant purchases are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Warrant Certificate and the Stock Purchase Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6, and are incorporated herein by reference

Also as part of the closing of the transaction, Flint entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bill Burbank, the CEO of CHVC and President of each of the Targets, effectuating the following:  (i) Mr. Burbank’s title is President and COO of Flint; (ii) Mr. Burbank was appointed as a member of Flint’s Board of Directors, and (iii) Mr. Burbank was issued 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock vesting over a period of four years, such that ¼ of the shares shall vest at the first annual anniversary of the Effective Date, and quarterly thereafter so that 100% of the shares shall be fully vested at his four year anniversary with Flint. The foregoing description of Mr. Burbank’s Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Additionally, as part of the closing of the transaction, two other executive officers from CHVC, John Iacovelli and Jose Ferrer, have become executive officers of Flint.  As a hiring and retention incentive, in lieu of issuing stock options under our existing stock option plan, our Board has approved the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to these executive officers, which is subject to vesting over a period of four years such that 25% of the shares vest at their first annual anniversary and 6.25% of the shares vest quarterly thereafter so that 100% shall be fully vested at the end of four years


Therefore, on a fully diluted basis, taking into consideration (i) our outstanding stock on the date of the closing, (ii) the stock issuance to CHVC as part of the Merger Agreement (iii) the stock issuance to Mr. Burbank under his employment agreement, (iv) the aggregate number of share of stock and shares underlying the warrants issued to Redquartz in exchange for its $1,500,000 investment (iv) the aggregate number of shares of stock issued to Mr. Tracey in exchange for his $400,000 investment, (v) the stock we intend to issue to other key employees as described above, and (vi) the aggregate number of shares underlying our outstanding convertible promissory notes, stock options and warrants, we have an aggregate of approximately 100,000,000 shares outstanding.  As a result of all of the transactions described above and effective as of the closing, the existing Flint shareholders now own approximately 76%, and CHVC and its shareholders now own approximately 24% of our total outstanding shares on a fully-diluted basis.
 
On January 29, 2009, Flint issued a press release with respect to the merger transaction with CHVC.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in the attached press release is “furnished” but not “filed” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
Additionally, on January 29, 2009, Flint sold all of the assets and liabilities of its ‘Semotus Business’ or ‘Solutions Division’ to Mr. Anthony LaPine for 3,508,000 shares of restricted common stock of Flint owned by Mr. LaPine. Mr. LaPine exercised his right to purchase the Semotus Business/Solutions Division from Flint, in accordance with Section 8.2(f) of the Contribution Agreement by and among Semotus Solutions, Inc. (now named Flint Telecom Group, Inc., and referred to as “Flint”) and Flint Telecom, Inc. dated April 23, 2008, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2, in exchange for 3,508,000 shares of restricted common stock of Flint owned by Mr. LaPine.  This transaction was further clarified and consummated by the Agreement and Plan of Corporate Separation and Reorganization by and among Flint and Semotus, Inc. executed as of January 29, 2009, pursuant to which Flint transferred all of the assets and properties, subject to all the liabilities, debts, obligations and contracts, of the Solutions Division to Semotus, Inc. in exchange for Mr. LaPine’s 3,508,000 shares of restricted common stock of Flint. The “Semotus Business”, as set forth in Section 7.18 of the Contribution Agreement, is defined as the operations of Semotus as conducted immediately prior to the acquisition transaction of Flint that closed on October 1, 2008, and does not reflect the business operations of Flint acquired in connection with that transaction. The foregoing description of the Semotus Business disposition is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement and Plan of Corporate Separation and Reorganization, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 2.03  CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION

The information set forth in Item 2.01 above is incorporated herein by reference as it relates to Flint’s obligation to pay a total of $1,500,000 to CHVC pursuant to the Merger Agreement, $1,500,000 to CHVC pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and Flint’s obligation to pay a total of $7,000,000 to CHVC pursuant to the Note, attached as Exhibits 2.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively.



ITEM 3.02  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

The information set forth in Item 2.01 above is incorporated herein by reference as it relates to the issuance of 21,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to China Voice Holding Corp., the issuance of a total of 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to Messrs. Burbank, Iacovelli and Ferrer, vesting over a period of four years, the issuance of an aggregate of 5,454,545 shares of restricted common stock and 3,750,000 shares underlying the warrants issued to Redquartz Atlanta, LLC in exchange for its $1,500,000 investment into Flint, and the issuance of 1,454,545 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. David Tracey in exchange for his investment of $400,000 into Flint.

We believe our offering and sale of the securities in the above transaction, made only to accredited investors and certain persons outside of the United States, were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation S.  The certificates representing the securities issued contain a legend to the effect that such securities were not registered under the Securities Act and may not be transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements.

(b)           Tax Indemnity.  The Shareholder shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Parent, their affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective representatives, from and against any and all Damages incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (1) any taxes of the Targets with respect to any tax year or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and (2) for the unpaid taxes of any person (other than the Targets) under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.

(c)           Indemnification By Parent.  Parent shall indemnify and save and hold harmless the Targets and the Shareholder and each of their affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective representatives from and against any and all Damages incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (1) any breach of any representation or warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation, made by Parent in or pursuant to this Agreement, or (2) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Parent in or pursuant to this Agreement;  provided, however, that the Shareholder makes a written claim for indemnification against Parent within the applicable survival period.

(d)           Damages.  The term “Damages” as used in this Section 9.14 is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against the Targets, the Shareholder, Parent or Merger Subs, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by the Targets, the Shareholder, Parent or Merger Subs in the absence of third party claims.  Payments by Parent of amounts for which Parent or Merger Subs is indemnified or has a Right of Offset hereunder, and payments by the Targets of amounts for which the Targets are indemnified, shall not be a condition precedent to recovery.  The Targets’ or the Shareholder’s obligation to indemnify Parent or Merger Subs, and Parent’s obligation to indemnify the Targets or the Shareholder shall not limit any other rights, including without limitation rights of contribution which any such party may have under statute or common law.

 
 

 
(e)           Cooperation.  The indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party and the attorneys defending the indemnification claims in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom.  The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

(g)              Parent’s Right of Offset.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Parent may withhold and set off against the merger consideration otherwise due to the Shareholder  thirty percent (30%) of the Merger Stock, to be held in an escrow account at the Effective Date for a period of two years following the Closing Date. The Parent may withhold and set off against these amounts as to which the Targets or the Shareholder are obligated to pay Parent, Merger Subs or a third party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (the “Set Off Rights”).  This shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies the Parent may have.

(h)  Product and Warranty Liability.  The provisions of this Section 9.14 shall cover, without limitation, all obligations and liabilities of whatsoever kind, nature or description relating, directly or indirectly, to product liability, litigation or claims against Parent, Merger Subs or each Surviving Corporation in connection with, arising out of, or relating to products or services developed or sold by Parent, Merger Subs or the Surviving Corporation in connection with the business.

(a)           On the Closing Date, Semotus will be a corporation duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California, with no liabilities except as contemplated by this Agreement and the transactions related hereto.

(b)           On the Closing Date, the authorized capital of Semotus shall consist of one thousand five hundred (1,500) shares of common stock, of which one thousand five hundred (1,500) shares will be issued and outstanding.

14.                Further Representations and Warranties of The Shareholder. The undersigned Shareholder represents and warrants as follows:

(a)           Owner of Flint shares.  As of the date hereof and as of immediately before the Closing, the Shareholder owns beneficially and of record the number of shares of Flint common stock set forth next to his signature to this Agreement.

(b)           No Plan of Disposition.  The undersigned Shareholder has no plan or intention to dispose of any of his shares of Semotus acquired pursuant to this Agreement, or to cause Semotus to redeem any of its stock issued pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)           Investment Intent; Capacity to Protect Interests. The Shareholder is acquiring the shares of Semotus solely for his own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the shares or any portion thereof and not with any present intention of selling, offering to sell or other­wise disposing of or distributing the shares or any portion thereof in any transaction other than a transaction exempt from registra­tion under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).  The Shareholder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the shares received in the Distribution will be held by the Shareholder, for the Shareholder’s account only, and neither in whole or in part for any other person.  The Shareholder either has a pre-existing business or personal relationship with Flint and Semotus or any of their officers, directors or controlling persons or by reason of Shareholder’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of Shareholder’s professional advisors who are unaffili­ated with


Agreement and Plan of Corporate
Separation and Reorganization
 
 
 
 

 

and who are not compensated by Flint or Semotus or any affil­iate or selling agent thereof, directly or indirectly, could be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in Semotus and to protect Shareholder's own interests in connection with this transaction.

(d)           Resident.  The Shareholder’s principal residence is within the State of California.

(e)           Information Concerning Flint.  The Shareholder is an officer of Flint and has heretofore received all such information as the Shareholder has deemed necessary and appropriate to enable the Shareholder to evaluate the financial risk inherent in holding shares of Semotus, and the Shareholder has received satisfactory and complete information concerning the business and financial condition of Flint and Semotus in response to all inquiries in respect thereof.

(f)           Economic Risk.  The Shareholder realizes that an investment in the Semotus shares will be a highly speculative investment and involve a high degree of risk, and the Shareholder is able, without impairing financial condition, to hold the Semotus shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss on the Shareholder’s investment.

(g)           Restricted Securities.  The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that:

1.           the issuance of the Semotus shares has not been registered under the Act, and the Semotus shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available (such as Rule 144 or the resale provi­sions of Rule 701 under the Act) and Semotus is under no obligation to register the shares;

2.           unless otherwise permitted by Flint, in any event, during the period ending on the later of (i) nine months from the date of distribution of the shares to the Shareholder and (ii) nine months from the date of any other sale by Semotus of any of its stock or any similar security which might be deemed to be part of the same issue as the issuance of the shares to the Shareholder, any resale or other transfer of the shares by the Shareholder may be made only to persons resident within the State of California;

3.           the share certificate representing the Semotus shares will be stamped with the legend specified in Section 12 hereof; and

4.           Semotus will make a notation in its records of the aforementioned restrictions on transfer and legends.

(h)           Disposition under the Act.  The Shareholder under­stands that the Semotus shares are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act; that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available in any event for at least two years from the date of purchase and payment

of the shares (unless Rule 701 promulgated under the Act is available), and even then will not be available unless (i) a public trading market then exists for the common stock of Semotus, (ii) ade­quate information concerning Semotus is then available to the public, and (iii) other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and that any sale of the shares may be made only in limited amounts in accordance with such terms and conditions.  The Shareholder further understands that the resale provisions of Rule 701, if available, will not apply until 90 days after Semotus becomes subject to the reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  There can be no assur­ance that the requirements of Rule 144 or Rule 701 will be met, or that the stock will ever be saleable. The Shareholder further agrees that he shall in no event make any disposition of all or any portion of the Semotus shares unless and until there is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said Registration Statement; (B) the resale provisions of Rule 701 or Rule 144 are available in the opinion of counsel to Semotus; or (C)(1) the Shareholder shall have notified Semotus of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished Semotus with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, (2) the Shareholder shall have furnished Semotus with an opinion of the Shareholder’s counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Semotus shares under the Act, and (3) such opinion of Shareholder’s counsel shall have been concurred in by counsel for Semotus and Semotus shall have advised the Shareholder of such concurrence.

(i)           Valuation of Common Stock.   The Shareholder under­stands that the distribution of the Semotus shares is intended to be tax free to the Shareholder under Code section 355; however, the shares are being distributed without a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to the tax treatment of the transaction, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert that the transaction is taxable to the Shareholder and Flint. If so, the IRS could assert that the Shareholder is taxable on the value of the Semotus shares received by Shareholder in the Distribution, as a dividend taxable at ordinary (and not capital gain) rates.  If the Internal Revenue Service were to succeed in a determination that the transaction is taxable, the additional taxes (and interest) due would be payable by the Shareholder, there is no provision for Flint to reimburse him for that tax liability, and the Shareholder assumes all responsibility for such potential tax liability.  In the event such additional value would represent more than 25 percent of the Shareholder’s gross income for the year in which the distribution occurs, the Internal Revenue Service would have six years from the due date for filing the return (or the actual filing date of the return if filed thereafter) within which to assess the Shareholder the additional tax and interest which would then be due.

15.                Representations and Warranties of Semotus and Flint.  Semotus and Flint warrant and represent as follows:

                      (a)           Flint’s principal reasons for participating in the Distribution are bona fide business purposes unrelated to taxes.
 
(b)           In the Distribution, all of the outstanding shares of stock of Semotus will be distributed to the Shareholder.  On the date of the Distribution,
 


Agreement and Plan of Corporate
Separation and Reorganization
 
 
 
 

 

Semotus will have no outstanding equity interests other than the common stock which will be distributed to the Shareholder. At the time of the Distribution, Semotus will have no outstanding warrants, options, or convertible securities or any other type of right outstanding pursuant to which any person could acquire shares of Semotus common stock or any other equity interest in Semotus.
(c)           Semotus intends to continue its historic business or use a significant portion of its historic business assets in a business following the Distribution.
 
(d)           The liabilities of Semotus have been incurred by Flint or Semotus in the ordinary course of Semotus’ business.
 
(e)           The fair market value of Semotus’ assets will, on the date of the Distribution, exceed the aggregate liabilities of Semotus plus the amount of liabilities, if any, to which such assets are subject.
 
(f)           Flint and Semotus are not and will not be on the date of the Distribution an “investment company” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Code.
 
(g)           Flint and Semotus are not and will not be on the date of the Distribution under the jurisdiction of a court in a Title 11 or similar case within the meaning of Section 368(a)(3)(A) of the Code.
 
(h)           Each of Flint, Semotus and the Shareholder will pay separately his, her or its own expenses relating to the Distribution.
 
(i)           There is no intercorporate indebtedness existing between Semotus and Flint.
 
(j)           The terms of the Plan of Reorganization and this Agreement and the other agreements relating thereto are the product of arm’s length negotiations.
 
(k)           With respect to each instance, if any, in which shares of stock of Flint have been purchased by Shareholder, to the best knowledge of Flint, the stock purchase was made by such Shareholder on his or her own behalf, rather than as a representative, or for the benefit, of any other party.
 
(l)           The Distribution of Semotus shares is not a device for the distribution of Flint’s earnings and profits.
 
(m)           Both Flint and Semotus will be engaged in an active business immediately after the spin-off, which “trade or business” has been conducted throughout the five-year period ending on the date of the spin-off.
 
(n)           No part of the Semotus shares distributed by Flint will be received by any Shareholder as a creditor, employee, or in any capacity other than that of a Shareholder of Flint.
 


Agreement and Plan of Corporate
Separation and Reorganization
 
 
 
 

 

(o)           After the Distribution, Flint and Semotus will each continue, independently and with its separate employees, the active conduct of all integrated activities of its businesses conducted prior to consummation of the Distribution.
(p)           The Distribution will be carried out for the following business reasons:
 
(i)           to utilize equity compensation for divisional employees.
 
(ii)           to facilitate the expansion of the businesses;
 
                                (iii)           to enhance the success of the businesses by enabling the corporations to resolve management, systemic, or other problems that arise by the taxpayer’s operation of different businesses within a single corporation.
 
(q)           The above corporate business purposes cannot be achieved through a transaction that does not involve the distribution of stock of Semotus and which is neither impractical nor unduly expensive.
 
(r)           There is no plan or intention by either Flint or Semotus, directly or through any subsidiary corporation, to purchase any of Semotus’ outstanding stock after the Distribution.
 
(s)           There is no plan or intention to liquidate either Flint or Semotus, to merge either corporation with any other corporation, or to sell or otherwise dispose of the assets of either corporation after the Distribution.
 
(t)           Flint has neither accumulated its receivables nor made an extraordinary payment of its payables in anticipation of the Distribution. No income items, including accounts receivable or any item resulting from a sale, exchange or disposition of property, that would have resulted in income to Flint, and no items of expense will be transferred to Semotus if Flint has earned the right to receive the income or could claim a deduction for the expense under the accrual or similar method of accounting.
 
(u)           Payments made in all continuing transactions between Flint and Semotus will be for fair market value based on terms and conditions arrived at by the parties bargaining at arm’s length.
 
(v)           The Distribution is not part of a plan or series of related transactions (within the meaning of Code section 355(e)) pursuant to which one or more persons will acquire directly or indirectly stock possessing 50 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of either Flint or Semotus, or stock possessing 50 percent or more of the total value of all classes of stock of either Flint or Semotus.
 
(w)           The transfer of assets by Flint to Semotus will be a transfer of “property” in exchange for all the voting common stock of Semotus, qualifying under Code section 351.
 


Agreement and Plan of Corporate
Separation and Reorganization
 
 
 
 

 

(x)           Immediately after the Distribution, at least 90 percent of the fair market value of the gross assets of Flint and Semotus will consist of trade or business assets or the stock and securities of corporations that are engaged in the active conduct of trade or business as defined in Code section 355(b)(2).
           (y)           Semotus has no plan or intention to issue additional shares of stock after the Distribution, or take any other action, that would result in the Shareholder losing “Control” of Semotus.  “Control” means direct ownership of shares of stock possessing at least eighty percent (80%) of the total combined voting power of shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote and at least eighty percent (80%) of the total number of shares of all other classes of stock of the corporation.
 

16.                Representations and Warranties to Survive the Closing Date.  All representations, warranties and covenants herein and any certificate or Agreement delivered in connection herewith shall survive the Closing Date and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns and legal representatives of the parties.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) made this date by and between CHINA VOICE HOLDING CORP., a Nevada corporation (“CHVC”) and FLINT TELECOM GROUP, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Purchaser”).

Whereas CHVC has agreed to sell and Purchaser desires to purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of certain wholly owned subsidiaries of CHVC, (the “Subsidiaries”, whether one or more) on the terms and conditions set forth in an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 29, 2009 (“Merger Agreement”), and

Whereas CHVC desires to sell and Purchaser desires to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock of CHVC contemporaneously with the Merger Agreement,

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties; in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions contained in this Agreement; and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1:                                SALE

1.01           Sale of Stock.  CHVC agrees to sell, convey, transfer, assign, and deliver to Purchaser 15,000,000 shares of CHVC common stock and Purchaser agrees to purchase such stock (collectively, the “Stock”).

1.02           Consideration; Terms of Sale.  (a) In consideration of the sale and transfer of the Stock and the representations, warranties, and covenants of CHVC set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to CHVC the following consideration on the Closing Date;

(b) Purchaser shall pay $750,000 on or before February 27, 2009 and $750,000 on or before April 30, 2009.

(c) Purchaser shall deliver its promissory note to CHVC in the amount of $7,000,000 (“Note”) upon signing of the Merger Agreement. The Note shall not bear any interest pre-default and shall be secured by 15,000,000 shares of CHVC common stock and the guarantee of Purchaser. The Note shall be payable in three equal installments on December 31, 2009, July 31, 2010, December 31, 2010,

(d) As each payment is made on the Note, security will be reduced proportionally to the amount of Note repaid. By way of example, when the first scheduled repayment is made then security against the Note will be 10,000,000 shares of CHVC and so on until all repayments are made. Buyer will be free to use the 5,000,000 shares released on each payment date at its sole discretion.

(e) The Note will bear interest at Eighteen percent (18%) per year for any period of time when a payment is past due.

(f)  Purchaser  agrees  that  no securities  shall be sold in the public market for  twenty-four  months after the Closing Date, without the consent of CHVC.  There will be placed on the certificates for such shares, or shares issued in substitution thereof, a legend stating in substance:

“The securities represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 29, 2009, a copy of which may be obtained from the Secretary of the Company.  The securities may not be sold or otherwise disposed of prior to January 29, 2011.  This restriction is independent of and in addition to the other restrictions on transfer noted hereon.”

1.03           Closing.  The date of execution of the Merger Agreement shall be deemed the “Closing Date” of this transaction.

ARTICLE 2:                                SELLER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

CHVC hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that the following facts and circumstances are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement:

2.01           Organization.  CHVC is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation.  CHVC is qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which it does business and has all requisite power and authority (corporate and, when applicable, government) to own, operate, and carry on its businesses as now being conducted.

2.02           Authority.  CHVC has full power and authority to execute, deliver, and consummate this Agreement, subject to the conditions to Closing set forth in this Agreement.

2.03           Representations.  No representation, warranty, or covenant made to Purchaser in this Agreement contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in this Agreement not misleading.

2.04           Broker.  Neither CHVC, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, or stockholders, has retained, consented to, or authorized any broker, investment banker, or third party to act on its behalf, directly or indirectly, as a broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.05           Compliance with Securities Laws.  (a) Purchaser acknowledges that CHVC is relying upon the accuracy and completeness of the statements and representations contained in this section in complying with its obligations under the federal and state securities laws.  Purchaser acknowledges and represents that:

(i) Purchaser is in a financial position to hold the Shares,( the “Securities”) for an indefinite period of time, is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and may withstand a complete loss of Purchaser’s investment in the Securities;

(ii) The Purchaser believes that it, either alone or together with the assistance of its own professional advisor or advisors, has the knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that make it capable of reading and interpreting financial statements of and concerning CHVC and of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities;

(iii) Purchaser has obtained, to the extent it deems necessary, its own personal professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in an investment in the Securities and to the suitability of an investment in the Securities in light of its financial condition and investment needs;

(iv) Purchaser understands that an investment in the Securities is highly speculative but that it believes that an investment in the Securities is suitable based upon Purchaser’s investment objectives and financial needs, and that it has adequate means for providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect to the Securities;

(v) Purchaser acknowledges access to full and complete information regarding CHVC and has utilized that access to Purchaser’s satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining information concerning the named entities, an investment in the Securities and the terms and conditions of this offering of the Securities, and has either attended or been given reasonable opportunity to attend a meeting with representatives of CHVC for the purpose of asking questions of, and receiving answers from, these representatives concerning CHVC, an investment in the Securities

and the terms and conditions of this offering of the Securities, and for the purpose of obtaining any additional information to the extent reasonable available that is necessary to verify the information provided;

(vi) Purchaser recognizes that the Securities as an investment involve a high degree of risk;

(vii) Purchaser realizes that (A) the purchase of the Securities is a long-term investment; (B) the Purchaser must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state, and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under these laws or exemptions from registrations are available; (C) there presently is no public market for the Securities and Purchaser may not be able to liquidate Purchaser's investment in the Securities in the event of an emergency or to pledge the Securities as collateral for loans; and (D) the transferability of the Securities is restricted, and (1) requires conformity with the restrictions contained hereinbelow, and (2) will be further restricted by legends placed on the certificates representing the Securities referring to the applicable restrictions on transferability;

(b) Purchaser has been advised that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws, that the Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of these laws, and that the reliance of CHVC on these exemptions is predicated in part on Purchaser’s representations contained in this section.  Purchaser represents and warrants that the Securities are being purchased for its own account and for investment and without the intention of reselling or redistributing the Securities, that Purchaser has not made any agreement with any other person or entity regarding any of the Securities, and that Purchaser’s financial condition is such that it is not likely that it will be necessary for Purchaser to dispose of the Securities in the foreseeable future.  Purchaser is aware that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a purchase of the Securities with an intent to resell the Securities by reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated change in market values, or any change in the condition of Purchaser or its business, or in connection with a contemplated liquidation or settlement of any loan obtained for the acquisition of the Securities and for which the Securities was pledged as security, would represent an intent that is inconsistent with the representations set forth above.  Purchaser further represents and agrees that, if, contrary to Purchaser’s foregoing intentions, Purchaser later should desire to dispose of or transfer any of the Securities in any manner, Purchaser will not do so without first obtaining (A) an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the proposed disposition or transfer lawfully can be made without registration of the Securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 an then in effect and applicable state securities law, or (B) such registration.

(c) Purchaser represents and warrants that the Securities are being received by Purchaser in Purchaser’s own name solely for Purchaser’s own beneficial interest, and not as nominee for, or on behalf of, or for the beneficial interest of, or with the intention to transfer to, any other person, trust or organization, except as specifically set forth hereinbelow.

(d) Purchaser is informed of the significance to CHVC of the foregoing representations, agreements and consents, and they are made with the intention that CHVC may rely upon them and agrees to indemnify CHVC, and its officers, directors and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) for any loss, claim or liability which any Indemnified Party might incur as a result of reliance upon any fact misrepresented by Purchaser in this section.

(e) Purchaser additionally represents that the representations contained in this section have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Purchaser, has been duly executed by an authorized officer or representative of Purchaser, and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable according to its terms.

     "Person" means an individual, trust, partnership, firm, association, corporation or other organization or a government or governmental authority.

(b)       Payment on an Event of Default.
Maker and any and all co-makers, endorsers, guarantors and sureties severally waive presentment for payment, notice of non­payment, protest, demand, notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration and dishonor, diligence in enforcement and indulgences of every kind, and hereby agree that this Note and the liens securing its payment

 
 

 


may be extended and re-extended and the time for payment extended and re-extended from time to time without notice to them or any of them, and they severally agree that their liability on or with respect to this Note shall not be affected by any release or change in any security at any time existing or by any failure to perfect or maintain perfection of any security interest in such security.

It is agreed that time is of the essence of this Note, and if any payment of principal and interest is not received by Payee on or before the due date of the payment, or,  if a default occurs under any instrument now or hereafter executed in connection with or as security for this Note, thereupon, after the passage of a ten day notice and cure period, at the option of Payee, the entire unpaid principal balance and the accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable forthwith without demand, notice of default or of intent to accelerate the maturity hereof, notice of nonpayment, presentment, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Maker and each other liable party. Any past due principal shall bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law. Failure to exercise this option upon any such default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exer­cise such option in the event of any subsequent default.

If the entire unpaid principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest due and owing on this Note is not paid at maturity whether by acceleration or otherwise and is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is filed hereon, or proceed­ings are had in probate, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, arrangement or other legal proceedings for collection hereof, Maker and each other liable party agree to pay Payee its reasonable collec­tion costs, including a reasonable amount for attorneys' fees, but in no event to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law.  Maker shall be directly and pri­marily liable for the payment of all sums called for hereunder, and Maker hereby expressly waives bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing hereon and in the handling of any security hereunder, and Maker hereby consents to and agrees to remain liable hereon regardless of any renewals, extensions for any period or rearrangements hereof, or any release or substitution of security herefor, in whole or in part, with or without notice, from time to time, before or after maturity.
 
 (c)           Prepayment.   The Maker may make optional prepayments of principal on this Note without penalty or premium at any time or from time to time, provided that any such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being prepaid through the date of the prepayment.  All prepayments on this Note, whether voluntary or mandatory, shall be credited first against accrued and unpaid interest and the balance shall be credited against unpaid principal.

3. Security.  As security for the performance of Maker’s obligations hereunder, Maker hereby grants to Payee a security interest in and to 15,000,000 shares of common stock of China Voice Holding Corp., issued pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Maker and Payee (the “Collateral”).

As each payment is made on the Note, security will be reduced proportionally to the amount of Note repaid. By way of example, when the first scheduled repayment is made then security against the Note will be 10,000,000 shares of CHVC and so on until all repayments are made. Maker will be free to use the 5,000,000 shares released on each payment date at its sole discretion.
 
4. Events of Default.

The existence of any of the following conditions shall constitute an Event of Default:

(a)           Commencement of proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other law for the reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief or aid of debtors or creditors if such proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days following notice to the Maker by the Holder.

(b)           If the Maker shall dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs or sell substantially all of its assets.

 
 

 
(c)           If the Maker breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement and such breach shall not be cured within 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Maker by the Holder.

(f)           The Maker is in material breach of any provision of this Note, which breach (other than a breach described in Section 4(a) and 4(d) above) continues for more than 30 calendar days following written notice to the Maker by the Holder. In the case of a monetary breach the Maker shall be in default if the breach is not cured in ten (10) days.

If an Event of Default occurs, the entire unpaid principal balance and the accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately.

5. Loss or Mutilation of Note.

Upon receipt by the Maker of evidence satisfactory to the Maker of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, together with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Maker, in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, or the surrender and cancellation of this Note, in the case of mutilation, the Maker shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note of like tenor and denomination as this Note.

6. Waivers.

The failure of Holder to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Note shall not, absent an express written waiver signed by Holder specifying the provision being waived, be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Note or any part hereof or the right of Holder thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Note shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

 
 

 


7. No Usurious Interest.

It is the intent of Maker and Payee in the execution of this Note and all other loan documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury   law. In furtherance thereof, Maker and Payee stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Note, or in any other instrument executed in connection herewith, shall ever be construed to  create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money,  interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate allowed by law ("Maximum  Rate"). Neither Maker nor any guarantors, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of this Note shall ever be obligated  or required to pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, and the provisions of this paragraph shall control over all other  provisions of this Note and any other loan documents now or hereafter executed which may be in apparent conflict herewith. Payee expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of this Note is accelerated. If the maturity of this Note shall be accelerated for any reason or if the principal of this Note is paid prior to the end of the term of this Note, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of   existence of the loan evidenced by this Note exceeds the applicable maximum  lawful rate, the holder of this Note shall credit the amount of such excess against the principal balance of this Note then outstanding and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by  applicable law as a result of such excess interest; provided, however, that  if the principal hereof has been paid in full, such excess shall be refunded to Maker. If the holder of this Note shall receive money (or anything else)  which is determined to constitute interest and which would increase the  effective interest rate on this Note or any other indebtedness which Maker or a guarantor is obligated to pay to holder to a rate in excess of that permitted by applicable law,   the amount determined to constitute interest in excess of the lawful rate  shall be credited against the principal balance of this Note then  outstanding or, if the principal balance has been paid in full, refunded to  Maker, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law  as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable. If the holder of this Note shall not actually receive, but shall contract for, request or   demand, a payment of money (or anything else) which is determined to  constitute interest and which would increase the effective interest rate contracted for or charged on this Note or the other indebtedness evidenced  or secured by the note to a rate in excess of that permitted by  applicable law, the holder of this Note shall be entitled, following such    determination, to waive or rescind the contractual claim, request or demand  for the amount determined to constitute interest in excess of the lawful  rate, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law   as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable. By execution of   this Note Maker acknowledges that Maker believes the loan evidenced by this   Note to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Maker should have reason to believe that such loan is in fact usurious, Maker will give the  holder of this Note notice of such condition and Maker agrees that the   holder shall have sixty (60) days in which to make appropriate refund or   other adjustment in order to correct such condition if in fact such exists.

Additionally, if, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any  provision hereof or of any documents or instruments executed pursuant to the terms thereof, shall,  at the time fulfillment of such provision be due, involve transcending the Maximum Rate then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be  reduced to the Maximum Rate. The term "applicable law" as used in this Note  shall mean the laws of the State of Florida or the laws of the United States,  whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such laws now exist or  may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

made, or expense incurred, by Secured Party pursuant to the foregoing authorization, plus interest thereon at the rate of interest provided for in the Note.

d.           No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Secured Party is intended to be or shall be exclusive of any other remedy, but every remedy herein provided is cumulative and is in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or in any instrument exe­cuted in connection herewith, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute; and every such right and remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expe­dient.  No delay or omission by Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy arising from any default will impair any such right or remedy or will be construed to be a waiver thereof or of any such default or an acquiescence therein.

Release of Security Interest.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph (a) above, and provided that Debtor is current on its payments and not in default under The Note, Debtor shall have a right to receive partial releases. As each payment is made on the Note, the collateral held will be reduced proportionally to the amount of Note repaid. By way of example, when the first scheduled repayment of $2,333,333.33 is made then the collateral held against the Note will be reduced to 10,000,000 shares of CHVC and so on until all repayments are made. Buyer will be free to use the 5,000,000 shares released on each scheduled payment of $2,333,333.33 at its sole discretion.

Validity of Security Interest.  No security taken hereafter as security for payment of any part or all of the Indebtedness shall impair in any manner or affect this Security Agreement, all such present and future additional security to be considered as cumulative security.  Any of the Collateral may be released from this Security Agreement without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, security interest or charge of this Security Agreement as to the Collateral not expressly released, and this Agreement shall continue as a first lien, security interest and charge on all of the Collateral not expressly released until all sums and indebtedness secured hereby have been paid in full.

Notices.  Any notice, request or other document shall be in writing and sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to the party to be notified at the following addresses, or such other address as such party may hereafter designate by written notice to all parties, which notice shall be effective as of the date of posting:

4.4           Due Execution, Delivery and Performance of the Agreements.  The Company has full legal right, corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform the transactions contemplated hereby.  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.  The consummation by the Company of the transactions herein contemplated will not violate any provision of the organizational documents of the Company.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions herein contemplated will not result in the creation of any lien, charge, security interest or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company pursuant to the terms or provisions of, or conflict with, result in the breach or violation of, or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the passage of time or both, a default under any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its properties may be bound or affected and in each case which individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, business, prospects, or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”), or any statute or any authorization, judgement, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body applicable to the Company or any of its respective properties.  Upon its execution and delivery, and assuming the valid execution thereof by the Investor, this Agreement will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
 
 

 

4.5.           Integration, etc.  The Company has not in the past nor will it hereafter take any action to sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy any securities of the Company which would bring the offer, issuance or sale of the Shares, as contemplated by this Agreement, within the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act.  Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) has directly, or through any agent, (i) sold, offered for sale, solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect of, any “security” (as defined in the Securities Act) which is or could be integrated with the sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the Shares  which form the Shares or (ii) engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in  Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with the offering of the Shares or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

4.6           Compliance with Securities Laws.  Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investor contained herein, the issuance of the Shares and Warrants to the Investor hereunder is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

4.7           Additional Information.  The Company has made available to the Investor a true and complete copy of each report, schedule, and definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) (as such documents have since the time of their filing been amended).
 
4.9           Deliveries at Closing. The Company shall have delivered to the Investor a Certificate, executed on behalf of the Company by its Secretary, dated as of the Closing Date, certifying the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company approving the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the issuance of the Shares and Warrants, certifying the current versions of the articles of the Company and certifying as to the signatures and authority of persons signing the Agreements and related documents on behalf of the Company.
 
4.10Most Favored Nations. During the time period beginning from the Closing Date and ending on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, if the Company issues common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into stock at a price (or conversion or exercise right) that is less than twenty seven and one half cents ($0.275) per share (the “Adjustment Price”), then, at the time of such issuance(s) the Company shall issue and deliver to the Investor, in proportion to the amount of Shares such Investor purchased, an additional number of shares of common stock pursuant to the following formula: the quotient determined by dividing (i) the Aggregate Amount by (ii) the Adjustment Price and then subtracted by the Shares (the “Adjustment Shares”). However, this provision shall not apply to (i) any convertible or exercisable securities currently issued and outstanding or which shall be issued and outstanding within the following ninety days from the Closing Date, (ii) any new issuances of common stock to executive officers or key employees of the Company, or (iii) any new issuances of securities exercisable into stock pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan(s).

5.12           The Investor has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commission, finder’s fees or similar payments by Investor relating to this Purchase Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company shall have no obligation with respect to such fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its employees, officers, directors, agents, and partners, and their respective affiliates, from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including the costs of preparation and attorney’s fees) and expenses suffered in respect of any such claimed or existing fees, as and when incurred.

CERTIFICATE FOR COMMON STOCK
PURCHASE WARRANTS

1.           Warrants.  Flint Telecom Group, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby certifies that Redquartz Atlanta, LLC, or registered permitted assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the Company, on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Warrant, at any time during the period (the “Exercise Period”) commencing on the date of this Warrant and ending at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on January 29, 2011 (the "Expira­tion Date"), 3,750,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of forty cents ($0.40) per share (the "Exercise Price").

2.           Transfer of Warrants. The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall not be transferable except upon written consent of the Company to such transfer or the death of the Holder and then, in such case of death, only to the estate of the Holder or pursuant to the Holder's will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

3.           Exercise of Warrant. (a) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time on or before the Expiration Date upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate together with the Form of Election to Purchase (the “Purchase Form”) duly completed and executed, together with (except as provided in Section 3(b) hereof) payment of the Exercise Price, at the offices of the Company, 3390 Peachtree Rd. NE, Suite 1000, Atlanta, GA 30326.  If this Warrant is exercised in part, then the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant covering the remaining number of shares of Common Stock not exercised.  Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office, or by the stock transfer agent of the Company at its office, in proper form for exercise, or upon delivery of the Form of Election to Convert attached hereto (the “Conversion Notice”) without delivery of this Warrant, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise or conversion, as the case may be, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.

(b) In lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Warrant, and subject to the limitations provisions of Section 3(c) of this Warrant, if the Current Market Price of the Common Stock (determined in accordance with the provisions of the Conversion Notice) is greater than the Exercise Price, then the Holder shall have the right, on notice to the Company by delivery of the Conversion Notice, to convert this Warrant, in whole or in part to the extent that this Warrant has not been exercised pursuant to said Section 3(a) of this Warrant or converted pursuant to this Section 3(b), for the

number of shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with the “Calculation of Warrant Conversion” section of the Conversion Notice. The parties understand and agree that, for purposes of Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if the holder converts this Warrant pursuant to this Section 3(b), its holding period will commence on the date hereof.  Conversion of the Warrant shall be elected by the Holder delivering to the Company the Conversion Notice, duly completed and executed, to the offices of the Company, 3390 Peachtree Rd. NE, Suite 1000, Atlanta, GA 30326.

(c)           If the Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant are not covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, then unless the Holder otherwise does not need to rely upon the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act in connection with a sale or transfer of the Common Stock to the issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, the exercise of this Warrant shall be effected as a “cashless exercise” pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(b) above.

4.           Expiration of Warrants.  No Warrant may be exercised after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date and any Warrant not exercised by such time shall become void, unless the Expiration Date of this Warrant is extended by the Company.

5.           Delivery of Shares.  (a)                                                       No fractional shares or script representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the Company shall round the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the next higher integral number of shares.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth herein, upon delivery of a completed Purchase Form accompanied, if the exercise is not a cashless exercise, by payment of the Exercise Price, not later than three (3) business days after the Exercise Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates which, after the effective date of a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Effective Date”), shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Securities Act) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon such exercise. After the Effective Date and if then available, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 5(b) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing company performing similar functions if the Company’s transfer agent has the ability to deliver shares of Common Stock in such manner. If in the case of any exercise of this Warrant such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the second day after the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the conversion shall be deemed void ab initio.

(c) The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such shares. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Company shall issue the Common Stock upon a properly executed Purchase Form. If the Company fails to

PS1764-b.cer
 
 

 

deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 5(c) within three (3) trading days of the Delivery Date applicable to such exercise, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Value of the Warrant being exercised, $50 per trading day (increasing to $100 per trading day three (3) trading days after such damages begin to accrue and increasing to $200 per trading day six (6) trading days after such damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after the Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

(d) If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section52(c) by the Delivery Date, and if after such Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Common Stock which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the exercise relating to such Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (a) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (b) the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the exercise at issue multiplied by (y) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation is $10,000, under the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Borrowers. Nothing in this Section 2(d) shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to its terms.

6.           Adjustment of Exercise Price.   (a)                                                                           If the Company shall, subsequent to the date of the initial issuance of this Warrant, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares or otherwise effect a stock split or distribution, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or otherwise effect a reverse split, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 6. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 3, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 6(a)) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 6(a)) be in effect, and (ii) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise (prior to any adjustment to the number of shares issuable, as may be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(d) below).

PS1764-b.cer
 
 

 

(b) If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company sells or otherwise issues any Convertible Securities, shares of Common Stock, or shares of any class of capital stock at a price per share of Common Stock, or with a conversion right or exercise price to acquire Common Stock at a price per share of Common Stock (other than (x) an Exempt Issuance (hereinafter defined), or (y) an issuance covered by Section 6(a) of this Warrant), that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such sale (such lower price being referred to as the “Lower Price”), the Exercise Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Lower Price. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such sale or other issuance at a Lower Price is made. The term “Convertible Security” shall mean any debt or equity security or instrument upon the conversion or exercise of which shares of Common Stock may be issued.  For purposes hereof, “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors of and consultants (other than consultants whose services relate to the raising of funds) of the Company pursuant to the Company’s outstanding stock option or long-term incentive plans, (b) securities upon the exercise or conversion of the Securities issued hereunder, in payment of principal or interest on indebtedness of the Company, (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisition, licensing agreements, or other strategic transactions, provided any such issuance shall only be to a person or entity which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company (including, without limitation, a company engaged primarily in research and development) in a business which the Company’s board of directors believes is beneficial to the Company and in which the Company receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities. For purposes of the parenthetical clause in clause (a), an investor relations firm that is not involved in fund raising is not deemed to be consultant whose services are related to the raising of funds.

(i) For purposes of this Section 6(b), the price at which such shares of Common Stock are issued shall be the consideration paid for the Common Stock or the price at which the Company agrees to issue shares of Common Stock. The price at which any Convertible Security is issued shall be the amount received for the issuance of the Convertible Security plus the minimum amount of additional consideration which is payable upon exercise or conversion of the Convertible Security. If the Company issues securities as a unit, regardless of whether such issuance is defined as a unit, a separate computation shall be made with respect to (x) shares of Common Stock and convertible securities (based on the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion, including conversion of interest or dividends, but excluding warrants, rights and options) and (y) warrants, options or rights, with a separate computation being made as to each warrant, option or right which is issued. If warrants, options or rights are issued, the Company shall not be deemed to have received any consideration for the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the warrant, option or right other than the lowest exercise price provided therein. If the Company has an agreement which provides for the issuance of shares at a fixed price or a formula price with a maximum price, the Company shall be deemed to have issued securities at such maximum price regardless of whether any securities are actually sold, and any issuance of securities below such maximum price shall, if such price is a Lower Price, be a sale which results in an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(b).

(ii) Any stock or convertible securities (other than warrants or options which shall be valued at the lowest stated exercise price thereof) issued for services that are not Exempt Issuances shall, for purposes of this Warrant, be valued at the par value thereof unless such issuance is made with the prior written approved of the Holder, not to be unreasonably withheld, in which event the securities shall be valued in the manner as set forth in the Holder’s approval.

(c) If the Company shall, subsequent to the date of initial issuance of this Warrant, issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price (or having a conversion price per

PS1764-b.cer
 
 

 

share) less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock for the record date mentioned below, if issuance does not result in an adjustment pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to an adjusted Exercise Price equal to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date mentioned below plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchased (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; and shall be effective regardless of whether such rights are exercised or expire in whole or in part unexercised. The provisions of this Section 6(c) are in addition to the provisions of Section 6(b) and any adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(c) shall be made after the application of Section 6(b).

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 6(a) of this Warrant, whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant in effect on immediately prior to the adjustment by the Exercise Price then in effect and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted. In no event shall the Exercise Price per share be less than the par value per share, and, if any adjustment made pursuant to said Section 6 would result in an Exercise Price which would be less than the par value per share, then, in such event, the Exercise Price per share shall be the par value per share; provided, however, that the limitation contained in this sentence shall not limit the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant.

(e)           Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full Share by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price, so that the aggregate amount delivered by the Holder to the Company in connection with an exercise of this entire Warrant after the adjustment, shall be equal to the aggregate amount that would have been delivered by Holder to the Company in connection with an exercise of this entire Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment.

7.           Adjustments for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of Assets.  If at any time while the Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, should there occur a reorganization, merger, or consolidation; or should there occur a sale or transfer of the Company’s assets or properties substantially in entirety as part of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, then lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant, or any unexpired exercisable portion thereof, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer that the Holder would have been entitled to if the Warrant, or portions thereof, had been exercised immediately prior to the event.  The foregoing shall apply similarly to any successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers that may occur while the Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains exercisable.

PS1764-b.cer
 
 

 

8.           Reservation of Stock Underlying the Warrant.  At all times until the expiration of the Warrant, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to authorize, reserve, and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of the Warrant, the shares of Common Stock of the Company that shall be receivable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant.

9.           Underlying Stock to be Fully Paid and Non-Assessable.  The Company covenants that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, and free of any liens, charges, and all taxes with respect to the issue thereof.

10.           No Impairment.  The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or
other method or venue, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Warrant, but shall at all times, in good faith, take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder thereunder against impairment.

11. Exchange or Loss of Warrant. Subject to the provisions of Section 2 hereof, this Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

12. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue of this Warrant, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and the Note and are enforceable against the Company only to the extent set forth herein and therein, and as provided by applicable law.

13.           Notices.  Any notice or other communication between parties hereto shall be sufficiently given if delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between the Company and the Holder.

5.2           Changes in Control.  For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have taken place if : (i) any person, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, becomes the owner of beneficial owner of Company securities, after the date of this Agreement, having 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company or (ii) the persons who were directors of the Company before such transactions shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company.
 

 
 

 

(a)           The Company and Executive hereby agree that, if Executive is affiliated with the Company on the date on which a Change of Control occurs, (the “Change of Control Date”), and this Agreement is in full force and effect, the Company (or, if Executive is affiliated with a subsidiary, the subsidiary) will continue to retain Executive and Executive will remain affiliated with the Company (or subsidiary), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  for the period commencing on the Change of Control Date and ending on the expiration date of this Agreement (which date shall then become the “Change of Control Termination Date”) to exercise such authority and perform such executive duties as are commensurate with the authority being exercised and duties being performed by the Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control Date.  If after the Change of Control, Executive is requested, and, in his sole and absolute discretion, consents to change his principal business location, the Company will reimburse the Executive for his reasonable relocation expenses, including, without limitation, moving expenses, temporary living and travel expenses for a reasonable time while arranging to move his residence to the changed location, closing costs, if any, associated with the sale of his existing residence and the purchase of a replacement residence at the changed location, plus an additional amount representing a gross-up of any state or federal taxes payable by Executive as a result of any such reimbursement.  If the Executive shall not consent to change his business location, the Executive may continue to provide the services required of him hereunder from his then residence and/or business address until the Change of Control Termination Date, at which time this Agreement shall terminate, unless sooner terminated or extended as set forth herein.
 
(b)           During the remaining term hereof after the Change of Control Date, the Company (or subsidiary) will (i) continue to pay Executive a salary and benefits at not less than the level applicable to Executive on the Change of Control Date, (ii) pay Executive bonuses as set forth herein, and (iii) continue employee benefit programs as to Executive at levels in effect on the Change of Control Date.
 
(c)           The Company hereby agrees that, if Change of Control occurs prior to the termination of this Agreement, any Shares owned by the Executive shall become registered.
 
6.      Death.  In the event of the death of the Executive during the Term of his employment hereunder, the Company shall pay to the personal representative of the estate of the deceased Executive any unpaid Base Salary accrued through the date of his death.  Except as provided above, the Company shall have no further liability hereunder other than for reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred prior to the date of the Executive’s death, subject, however to the provisions of Section 3.1.
 
7.      Restrictive Covenants.

FLINT TELECOM GROUP ACQUIRES U.S. SUBSIDIARIES OF CHINA VOICE HOLDING CORP.
Provides operational infrastructure and strengthens management team to further leverage Flint’s network, products and enhanced services platform
Boca Raton, FL  January 29, 2009 —Flint Telecom Group, Inc. (OTCBB:FLTT), announced today that it has acquired six U.S. subsidiaries of China Voice Holding Corp. (CHVC) that provide distribution of prepaid calling cards within in the U.S.  The acquisition provides Flint Telecom with the operational infrastructure and U.S. based management team to further leverage the Company’s current network, products and enhanced services platform.

Flint Telecom Group’s CEO, Vincent Browne, said, “The annualized revenue of the combined  group is already approaching $100M, and after we drive Flint Telecom’s products, services and relationships into the newly acquired subsidiaries, we expect to be profitable on completion of their full integration into the group.  In addition to CHVC’s established distribution channels, we believe that we now have a very solid management team to take our Company to the next level and to seek a relisting on the American Stock Exchange, now called the NYSE Alternext Exchange, as soon as possible.”

Browne further added, “From a product and service distribution standpoint, we are very excited that this acquisition also provides us a direct channel for Flint to market its existing digital phone services to over 1,200 independent U.S. cable companies with over 16,000,000 current subscribers across the United States. We are also focused on enhancing our Wireless Services and IP convergence offerings to drive into the new distribution channels now available to us. On completion of the integration of the subsidiaries we will focus on completing further acquisitions from an existing pipeline of M&A opportunities that are expected to provide additional product enhancements, operational efficiencies and positive income streams.”
Key Executives joining Flint Telecom as a result of the acquisitions are CHVC’s President and CEO, Bill Burbank who will become Flint Telecom’s President, COO and Board Member, Jose

Forbes.com recently indentified the “Three Technologies You Need in 2009” as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), New Mobility Applications and Low-priced Smartphones. Furthermore, the U.S. residential VoIP market is predicted to grow at a compound annual rate of 20 percent over the next four years according to the Telecom Industry Association's 2008 Market Review & Forecast, published February 2008.

Gartner Group forecasts that the composite North American hosted VoIP market will increase from $375 million in 2006 to $3.165 billion in 2011, corresponding to a compound annual growth rate of 53.2% - “Multiple Delivery Models Driving the Demand for Hosted VoIP Services, North America, 2006 – 2011” published November 19, 2007.

Infonetics Research reported that worldwide revenue from hosted VoIP and managed IP PBX services jumped 52% to $24 billion in 2007 after surging 66% in 2006 (Report published August, 2008).

Bill Burbank, Flint Telecom’s new President and COO commented, “I am very excited about joining Flint Telecom Group and taking what my team has built over the last couple of years to a new level. Flint’s network, technology and financial position enable us to deliver additional products and services that will generate higher profit margins from existing CHVC revenues. CHVC’s U.S. operating subsidiaries are currently profitable and have significant existing sales distribution making this transaction a true “win-win” for both companies.”

Burbank continued, “Even with all of the global financial uncertainty we believe that Flint Telecom Group is clearly in the right place at the right time, and when the global economy improves we will be well positioned to take full advantage of the better conditions for the continued benefit of our shareholders.”
