FLINT TELECOM GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.           Organization and Formation

Flint Telecom Group, Inc. (“Flint”, “We” or the “Company”), is a Nevada Corporation.  We were originally formed in 2005 as Flint Telecom, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and started operations in April 2006 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Flint Telecom Limited, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.

We are headquartered at 7500 College Blvd., Suite 500, Overland Park, Kansas 66210, and our telephone number is 913-815-1570.  The address of our website is www.flinttelecomgroup.com

As part of our emphasis on streamlining our operations and reaching sustainable profitability, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 we shut down and disposed of four of our other wholly owned subsidiaries, which were originally acquired in January of 2009: CVC Int’l, Phone House Inc. of Florida, Dial-Tone Communications and Starcom Alliance.  Consequently, we recognized a loss in the form of a one-time impairment charge of goodwill and other intangibles in the amount of $12,215,200.

Following the corporate restructuring during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s management decided to structure the business into three separate operating segments. These segments are (1) the sale of third-party telecoms and networking equipment and software services (collectively referred to as equipment as “telecom software, services & equipment”), (2) the sale of Company produced and third-party prepaid calling products (collectively referred to as “prepaid telecom services”) (3) the delivery of wholesale and VoIP telecom services to other operators and direct to end users (collectively referred to as “telecom services”).  Following the acquisition of III and P2P in October 2010, the Company’s management elected to report these units under a new segment for the sale of financial processing services, debit card programs and mobile payment & remittance services (collectively referred to as “financial processing services”). These have been included for the current reporting period and for each period thereafter. Selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily consisting of compensation of corporate employees, professional fees and overhead costs not directly related to a specific operating segment are reflected in the table below as “corporate activities.”  See Note 18, Segment Information, for more details

2.           Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us, without audit and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K.  On January 14, 2011 a 1:20 reverse stock split went effective and we have retroactively adjusted all our common share amounts and per share stock prices accordingly.  In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2011.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  We believe that the disclosures provided are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our SEC Form 10K filed on October 20, 2010.
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year in order to conform to the current year.
 
3.           Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of our business.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, Flint had a net loss of $6,463,091 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and $28,865,778 for the year ended June 30, 2010, negative cash flow from operating activities of $830,998 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an accumulated stockholder’s deficit of $57,535,819 and a working capital deficit of $15,859,194 as of March 31, 2011.  Also, as of March 31, 2011, we had limited liquid and capital resources.  We are currently largely dependent upon obtaining sufficient short and long term financing in order to continue running our operations.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
15

 
 
 
 



As of the date of the filing of this report, we have a total of approximately $3.7 million of loan principal that is past due from a total principal balance of approximately $6.7 million, representing 14 individual parties. Under the terms of the loan agreements the $6.7 million principal is payable. In addition, approximately $2.1 million of accumulated interest, preferred share dividends and related penalties is past due on these loans. We are in active discussions with these parties about the outstanding debt and rescheduling payments in the future based on the business progress during 2010 and the ability of the Company to meet the new arrangements from the Kodiak funding. Of the 14 parties, five have initiated legal proceedings, the remainder, including our secured lender, have not initiated legal proceedings. Of the five that have taken legal steps, we believe, based on discussions with them, that suitable payment terms will be agreed upon over the duration of the Kodiak funding. In addition to these loans, we have approximately $1.2 million of trade payables that are past due. Four parties have received summary judgments, as reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 and in this quarterly report, and we have been served with a pending action from another. Despite receiving these judgments, we have agreed to terms to pay down one of the larger amounts over two years. Management is confident the Company will be successful in satisfying these obligations prior to foreclosure or bankruptcy. However, there is no assurance that any additional capital will be raised.

The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Ultimately, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to attract new sources of capital, exploit the growing telecom and prepaid financial services market in order to attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiency and achieve profitable operations.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

In June of 2010 we announced significant reductions in our operating costs and are in ongoing discussions with our creditors to restructure our balance sheet and future debt payments.

In November of 2010 we secured an Equity Line of Credit Agreement with Kodiak Capital. This agreement allows us to place up to $15 million worth of our common stock to Kodiak over two years, subject to certain conditions, which will become available to us when a registration statement on Form S-1 is deemed effective by the SEC. (See Note 19 for more details).

4.           Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
On December 21, 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-29, which impacts any public entity that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The guidance specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenues and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the year had occurred at the beginning of the prior annual period when preparing the pro forma financial information for both the current and prior reporting periods. The guidance also requires that pro forma disclosures be accompanied by a narrative description regarding the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in reported pro forma revenues and earnings. This guidance is effective for business combinations consummated in periods beginning after December 15, 2010.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements.  This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers.  Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
16

 
 
 
 



In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 regarding subsequent events and amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements.  Under this ASU, a public company that is a SEC filer, as defined, is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  This ASU is effective upon the issuance of this ASU.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18 regarding improving comparability by eliminating diversity in practice about the treatment of modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 – Receivable – Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“Subtopic 310-30”).  Furthermore, the amendments clarify guidance about maintaining the integrity of a pool as the unit of accounting for acquired loans with credit deterioration.  Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.  The amendments in this Update are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010.  The amendments are to be applied prospectively.  Early adoption is permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, in accordance with accounting pronouncements that applies to arrangements with multiple deliverables and provides another alternative for determining the selling price of deliverables. In addition, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted under this guidance.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after July 15, 2010.  We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2009, in accordance with accounting pronouncements which removes non-software components of tangible products and certain software components of tangible products from the scope of existing software revenue guidance, resulting in the recognition of revenue similar to that for other tangible products. It also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, in accordance with accounting pronouncements for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a VIE. Under this guidance, an enterprise has a controlling financial interest when it has a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The guidance also requires an enterprise to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The guidance also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, requires enhanced disclosures and eliminates the scope exclusion for qualifying special-purpose entities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Management does not believe that there are any recently-issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

5.          Acquisition of Ingedigit International, Inc. and Gotham Ingedigit Financial Processing Corp.

On October 25, 2010, Flint Telecom Group, Inc. (“Flint”) acquired all of the stock of Ingedigit International, Inc. (“III”) and Gotham Ingedigit Financial Processing Corp dba Power2Process (“P2P”), both Florida corporations, through a merger of each of those companies into two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Flint, in exchange for a maximum potential total of 600,000 shares of Flint’s Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Merger Stock”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 5, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”).  300,000 shares of the Merger Stock were issued on the Closing Date. The remaining 300,000 shares of the Merger Stock may be issued, in two tranches of 150,000 each, during the 12 and 24 months following the Closing Date if either or both of the Targets meet or exceed the revenue and/or other operating targets as mutually agreed upon by Flint and the Targets as of the closing date.

The Series H Convertible Preferred Stock has a $0.001 per share par value, and one vote for each preferred share issued. The fair value of the common stock into which the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted is $10.00 per preferred share. Each preferred share has a conversion value of $10.00 of common stock. The 600,000 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock therefore represents an aggregate value of $6 million in common stock when converted. The Series H Convertible Preferred Stock are not redeemable and the holders have no right to receive cash in lieu of converting into common stock under the conversion terms.
 
The Series H Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible on or after a period of twelve months from the closing date into common stock at a 25% discount to the Market Price.  Market Price is defined as the average closing price per share over the twenty trading days prior to the date of conversion. Provided, however, that the conversion price shall never be lower than ten percent of the Market Price on the closing date, or $0.0118. The closing price for our common stock on October 25, 2010 was $0.118. Therefore, the applicable conversion price for the full amount of Series H preferred stock at the transaction date was $0.0885 per share, representing a potential total of 67,796,610 common shares on the transaction date.
 
Under ASC 480-10-S99, we have recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $1,000,000 on the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock of which we accreted $566,438 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
 

If the 300,000 currently issued Series H Convertible Preferred Shares were converted as of March 31, 2011, a total of 25,423,728  common shares would be issued based on the lowest per share conversion price of $0.0118.  However, these preferred shares are not convertible until October 25, 2011, and, the Power2Process and Ingedigit shareholders as a group cannot hold more than 4.99% of Flint’s total issued and outstanding common stock at any one time.

Our preliminary allocation of the consideration to the assets and liabilities are as follows:

The allocation of the consideration to the assets and liabilities as listed above is preliminary and was not carried out by a third party expert valuation firm. The company intends to have such a valuation completed and included in its audited statements for the year ending June 30, 2011. The amount of contingent consideration that was recognized at the acquisition date, October 25, 2010, was $3,000,000 for the contingent future payments through the issuance of additional Series H Convertible Preferred Stock. The amounts of revenues and earnings included in the statement of operations from October 25, 2010 through March 31, 2011 was $0.00 and $(1,466,559), respectively.

Separate from the Merger Agreement, as a hiring and retention incentive and in lieu of issuing stock options under the Company’s stock option plan, during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 we issued a total of 390,000 shares of restricted common stock, vesting over a period of three years with one third vesting at the first annual anniversary of employment with the company and quarterly thereafter, to the officers and employees at III and P2P.  These shares of restricted common stock were valued at $0.118 per share.  We recorded approximately $3,835 and $11,505 in expense in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, related to the shares of restricted common stock granted to these officers and employees.

The following are condensed pro forma financial information as though the acquisition of III and P2P had occurred as of July 1, 2009. In association with the acquisition of III and P2P, we recorded the purchase price in excess of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date as intangible assets.

6.           Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

Four customer accounted for 63% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Five customers accounted for 70% of our revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011..  Five customers accounted for 65% of the accounts receivable at March 31, 2011, the largest of which accounted for 24% of the receivables.  

The allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2010 was $431,381. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, we elected to write off $150,442 and $139,041 in accounts receivable that were deemed no longer collectable. These amounts had been fully provided for in the allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2010. As the accounts receivable balance over 90 days was reduced by the amounts written off, the allowance for doubtful accounts required at as at March 31, 2011 was $246,334.

One customer accounted for 20% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  Two customers accounted for 44% of our revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, comprising 31% and 13% each.  Two customers accounted for 14% and 15% of the accounts receivable at March 31, 2010, for a total of 29% of the receivables.

7.           Fixed Assets

On October 25, 2010 we acquired all of the stock of two companies, III and P2P. See Note 5 above for more details. As a result, we recorded an additional $4,568,133 amount in fixed assets as of December 31, 2010, being depreciated over 5 years.

In May of 2010 we entered into a settlement agreement with Telmage Consulting LLC (“TelSpace”) in which TelSpace has furnished to us a perpetual software license as consideration for the repayment of the $250,000 promissory note due to us from TelSpace.  As a result, we recorded an additional $250,000 amount in fixed assets as of June 30, 2010, being depreciated over five years.

8.           Intangible Assets and Impairment
 
Intangible assets that are determined to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives and are measured for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are measured for impairment at least annually in our fourth fiscal quarter, or when events indicate that impairment exists.  We have a capitalized intangible asset with a definite life, which are customer contracts. In recognition of the right to receive future cash flows related to transactions of the asset, we will amortize this value over five years, as it is anticipated that the customer contracts would continue to evolve with our needs and have at least 5 year minimum terms. We periodically review intangibles for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their respective fair values, additional impairment tests are performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. If an asset is deemed impaired, the impairment loss is recognized in current earnings.

9.           Capital Leases

We have acquired $819,025 in equipment through capital lease obligations primarily for computer and telephony equipment.  During the year ended June 30, 2010 we wrote down the value of this equipment to zero.  During the year ended June 30, 2010, as part of our debt restructuring plan, we renegotiated the terms of our capital lease with our equipment vendor, which resulted in the disposal of certain assets under this agreement and the restructure of the payment terms for the remaining equipment. 

On September 15, 2010 we executed a Second Amendment to our equipment lease agreement with Data Sales, such that monthly payments in the amount of $20,000 shall commence as of November 1, 2010 and continue until April 1, 2011, at which time the monthly payments shall increase to $57,991 until January 1, 2012.  Additionally, Data Sales has waived all late fees and accrued interest, and we gave Data Sales the option to purchase up to a maximum of $61,000 worth of our restricted common stock at a 20% discount to the Market Price. Market Price being the average closing price per share over the 20 trading days prior to notice of exercise, and having a minimum per share price of $0.0031 (50% of the Market Price as of September 15, 2010).  For the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, total cash payments will be $375,371 and $405,938, respectively. As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report, we have not made the first monthly payment due November 1, 2010 and are therefore currently in default.  As a result, all outstanding payments owed as of the date of default are immediately due and payable.

 10.           Related Party Transactions

Loans:
We have limited access to capital from either banking institutions or the capital markets. Consequently, we have loans from a number of third parties, including related parties, as follows.

Flint, Ltd.:
Flint Telecom Ltd, which is controlled by Mr. Browne, Flint’s CEO, has an amount due to it of $213,160 and $156,042 at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.   This includes charges for management fees earned by Flint Telecom, Ltd., which during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $150.000 and $450,000, respectively.  The management fees are for operating and financial services provided by Flint Telecom, Ltd. to us. Flint Telecom, Ltd. also has a direct equity investment in us. 

Executive Officer Loans
On November 8, 2010 and November 19, 2010, Vincent Browne, our Chief Executive Officer, invested $48,000 and $24,000, respectively and was issued promissory notes for those principal amounts, accruing no interest and having a maturity date of one year from the date of issuance.

Michael Butler Debt Restructure
We had a number of loans outstanding from Mr. Butler, one of our board members as of December 31, 2009, for which we issued various promissory notes, convertible promissory notes, warrants and shares of restricted common stock to him as consideration.  As of December 31, 2009, the total outstanding balance on all of Mr. Butler’s loans were approximately $4,100,000.  Subject to an agreement that was executed December 31, 2009 that became effective February 5, 2010 we executed a settlement agreement with Mr. Butler in which all of Mr. Butler’s loans to Flint were cancelled in exchange for 302,000 shares of Series E preferred stock of Flint, valued at €10.00 per share, having the following material terms:

 
1.
Yielding a 14% annual dividend payment, payable monthly in Euros, from February 28, 2010;
 
 
2.
Convertible at any time into that number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by the quotient of (i) €10.00 over (ii) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion.
 
 
a.
The Conversion Price has a 20% discount to the Market Price at time of conversion and subject to a minimum conversion price of $5.50 per Common Share.
 
 
b.
Market Price means the average closing price of Flint’s common stock over the twenty trading days preceding the conversion request date.
 
 
c.
The common stock issued at the time of conversion will be restricted stock and subject to SEC 144 Rule.
 
 
d.
Based on the minimum conversion price, Mr. Butler would receive 10,981,818 shares of common stock if all preferred shares were converted into common stock.
 
 
3.
The Preference Shares will be transferable at Mr. Butler’s discretion, after giving Flint a right of first refusal;
 
 
4.
A penalty rate of 0.5% per month on the total amount outstanding will apply for dividend payments that are more than 10 days late, and will continue to apply until default payments are caught up.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
21

 
 
 
 


 
Mr. Butler has the right to rescind this agreement in the event that we should enter into a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy.  We have therefore classified these shares of Series E Convertible Preferred as part of Preferred Shares in our Balance Sheet.

Equity Reclassification: The Series E preferred shares issued to Mr. Butler pursuant to a settlement agreement dated December 31, 2009 have been moved from equity to the mezzanine area of the balance sheet. The equity statement has been updated to account for this reclassification.

SEL Nominees:
On March 8, 2010 SEL Nominees Ltd. (“SEL”) loaned us $58,000 and we issued a $58,000 convertible promissory note accruing interest at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, with interest only payments due each month and a maturity date of March 2011, and having a variable conversion price of 50% of the Market Price. On March 12, 2010 SEL loaned us $40,000 and we issued a $40,000 convertible promissory note accruing interest at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum with interest only payments due each month and a maturity date of March 2011, and having a variable conversion price of 50% of the Market Price. “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices for the common stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending one Trading Day prior to the date the Conversion Notice is sent. These SEL notes also contain a most favored nations clause as it relates to the conversion price.  As of March 31, 2011, the conversion price is $0.0017 per share, resulting in the maximum potential total of 57,547,058 shares to be issued upon full conversion of both SEL notes.  However, in accordance with the terms of the agreements related to these notes, each note holder cannot beneficially own greater than 4.99% of our total issued and outstanding common stock at any given point in time without shareholder approval.  As of March 31, 2011, neither of these promissory notes have been repaid and are therefore in default. As a result, a default interest rate of 25% applies and the notes are immediately due and payable and we shall pay an amount equal to the greater of (i) 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of the notes plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest plus (y) default interest  (the “Default Sum”) or (ii) the “parity value” of the Default Sum to be prepaid, where parity value means (a) the highest number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such Default Sum.  SEL is recorded in the accounts as a related party due to the fact that SEL is controlled by Mr. Butler, who was one of our board members in March of 2010. 

Employment Agreements:
Effective October 6, 2008, we entered into a four year employment agreement with our CEO, Mr. Browne. Mr. Browne receives a salary in the amount of $180,000 per year, which shall immediately increase to $240,000 when the Company achieves sustainable profitability for one quarter, and 125,000 shares of restricted common stock, vesting over a period of four years, such that one-fourth 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. If Mr. Browne’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Browne for good reason as provided in the Agreement, or if the Company is acquired or dissolves and a new employment agreement satisfactory to Mr. Browne cannot be reached (a “Severance Event”), all stock and stock options of the Company then owned by Mr. Browne which are unvested shall become immediately fully vested, and the Company shall pay to Mr. Browne severance pay equal to the remaining years and/or months of his then current base salary that are due, based on a four year agreement term. If a Severance Event occurs, Mr. Browne would receive between $480,000 (using a Severance Event date of October 6, 2010 and assuming the Company has achieved sustained profitability) and $0 (using a Severance Event date of October 6, 2012), depending on the actual date the Severance Event occurs.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
22

 
 
 
 


 
Effective February 23, 2010, we entered into a two year employment agreement with Bernard A. Fried, effectuating the following:  (i) Mr. Fried’s title is President and Chief Operating Officer; (ii) Mr. Fried was appointed as a member of Flint’s Board of Directors, (iii) Mr. Fried will receive a salary in the amount of $186,000 per year, and (iv) Mr. Fried was issued 300,000 shares of restricted common stock vesting over a period of four years, such that one-fourth 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 Company may terminate this agreement without cause at any time by giving Mr. Fried 60 days prior written notice, and the Company shall have no further liability other than for the payment of any unpaid salary through the termination date and reimbursement of reasonable business expenses incurred prior to the termination date.

Separation Agreement with Bill Burbank:
Bill Burbank resigned as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, effective February 4, 2010.  In connection with Mr. Burbank’s resignation, we entered into a Separation Agreement with Mr. Burbank (the “Separation Agreement”), effective February 5, 2010.  The Separation Agreement provides that Mr. Burbank will be paid an aggregate of approximately $150,000 in cash and $842,500 worth of shares of restricted common stock, consisting of:
 
·
payment for past wages owed, of approximately $45,785;
 
·
repayment for various loans made to the Company, in the amount of $100,000;
 
·
reimbursement for approved expenses in an amount that has yet to be determined;
 
·
all such cash payments as listed above shall be paid in the future as funds become available;
   
acceleration of 75,000 shares of his unvested restricted stock and the grant and issuance of 200,000 additional shares of immediately vested restricted common stock, for a total of 5,500,000 shares of restricted common stock.  Additionally, 500,000 vested on January 29, 2010. The 275,000 previously issued shares that vested were valued at $7.60 per share (date of original grant).  The closing price of our common stock on February 5, 2010 was $1.60 per share, and therefore the additional 200,000 shares were valued at $320,000, for a total fair market value of these shares was $842,500.

Subsequently, effective May 28, 2010, we entered into an Addendum to the Separation Agreement with Mr. Burbank, agreeing to pay a total of $150,000 cash to Mr. Burbank over a period of 8 months; monthly payments in the amount of $18,750 shall commence as of July 31, 2010. As of the date of the filing of this report we have not made these payments and are therefore currently in default.  As a result, a default interest rate of 18% shall be applied to any outstanding payments owed as of the date of default and an additional cash payment of $40,000 is also immediately due and payable.  Mr. Burbank has filed a lawsuit against us for breach of contract, seeking to collect this total amount due (See Note 12, Commitments & Contingencies).

Settlement Agreement with China Voice Holding Corp.
China Voice Holding Corp. (CHVC) was a related party due to the fact that it was a greater than 10% shareholder at the time of our acquisition of six of its U.S. subsidiaries in January of 2009. Additionally, Bill Burbank became our President and COO and at the same time was CEO of CHVC. Effective as of May 28, 2010, we executed a settlement agreement with CHVC whereby CHVC has agreed to, among other things, cancel and terminate any and all rights it has under its $7,000,000 promissory note issued by us (the “Note”) and the Series C Preferred Shares of Flint (the “Preferred Shares”), including the repayment of any and all principal amounts underneath the Note and the Preferred Shares, and to return 790,000 shares of our common stock to Flint (thereby allowing CHVC to keep 260,000 shares of our common stock), and in exchange we agreed to pay a total of $1,520,242 to CHVC through installment payments over a period commencing August 31, 2010 and ending May 31, 2011 and abandon its claim to 15,000,000 shares of CHVC’s common stock.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
23

 
 
 
 


 
As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report, we have not made any payments to China Voice Holding Corp. (CHVC) pursuant to this settlement agreement, and we are therefore in default. A default interest rate of 18% shall be applied to any outstanding payments owed as of the date of default. An additional cash payment of $500,000 will also be immediately due and payable.  Effective June 30, 2010 the settlement agreement was amended to delete CHVC’s option to be repaid through the issuance of shares of Flint’s common stock.   CHVC will also be entitled to apply to the court and obtain judgment against Flint for the outstanding payments outstanding and not made as of the Default Event.

Misc. Loans from other ex-Officers
On September 24, 2009, Mr. Keaveney, our CFO at the time, loaned $75,000 to us and we issued to him a promissory note in the amount of $75,000, due and payable with a cash fee of $10,000 on or before October 24, 2009.  In June of 2010, we agreed to allow Mr. Keaveney to convert a portion of this note, $20,000, into 100,000 shares at $0.20 per share. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, Mr. Keaveney sold the remaining principal balance and accrued interest due on the note to a third party, who converted the assigned note into a total of 1,729,336 shares of common stock.  As of March 31, 2011, there is no outstanding principal balance or remaining accrued interest due on the note.  

11.           Accounts Payable

Accounts payable at March 31, 2011 were $4,468,351. Six vendors accounted for 40% of the payables at March 31, 2011, the largest of which accounted for 8% of the payables.

Accounts payable at June 30, 2010 were $3,641,554.  Three vendors accounted for 30% of the payables at June 30, 2010, at 13%, 11% and 6% each.

Although we believe that we have adequate alternative vendors to purchase services and products, there can be no assurance of comparability, which could have a detrimental effect on the business. Further, when the vendor provides services for direct access to and call routing for residential or business customers, a reduction in or elimination of that vendor service will probably have a detrimental effect on that portion of our business.

12.           Lines of Credit
Effective June 4, 2009, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Thermo Credit LLC (“Thermo”), for a line of credit in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 (the “Agreement”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, we agreed to pay a commitment fee equal to 2% of the amount of the Credit Facility, an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum and a monitoring fee equal to the greater of $1,500.00 per month, or 0.05% of the Credit Facility per week. The line of credit is evidenced by a Loan and Security Agreement and a Promissory Note in the maximum amount of $2,000,000.   The Note carries an interest rate of the greater of the prime rate plus 8%, or 15%. The indebtedness is secured by a pledge and grant to Thermo of a security interest in all of our property or assets, real or personal, tangible or intangible, now existing or hereafter acquired. As of December 31, 2010, we owed $2,000,000 in principal and $421,000 in outstanding interest and penalties under the Thermo line of credit.

Effective as of June 8, 2010, Flint executed an amendment to the $2,000,000 promissory note issued to Thermo, whereby Thermo has agreed to a forbearance of principal payments, with the first principal payment of $100,000 due on or before August 31, 2010, and an extension of the Maturity Date to March 31, 2012. Principal payments shall then be due in equal installments of $100,000 per month from August 31, 2010 until the note is paid in full. Additionally, two one-time commitment fees of $20,000 each shall be paid on August 31, 2010, and an additional waiver/forbearance fee of $20,000 shall be paid on or before the one year anniversary of the execution of the Amendment, or June 8, 2011.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
24

 
 
 
 



During the three months ended March 31, 2011, a total of $100,000 of the Thermo note was sold and assigned to two third parties (See Note 13, Promissory Notes and Convertible Promissory Notes for more details.) However, as of March 31, 2011, we remain in default on this note and the total balance has therefore been classified as a current liability.  Upon default, the entire unpaid balance of principal, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other indebtedness owing to Thermo at such time, which as of March 31, 2011 was $2,498,000 shall, at the option of Thermo, become immediately due and payable without further notice. In addition, Thermo shall be entitled to foreclose upon its security interests granted under the Agreement and to cause the Collateral to be immediately seized wherever found and sold with or without appraisal. Collateral consists of any and all of our subsidiaries’ property or assets, real or personal, tangible or intangible, now existing or hereafter acquired, and all supporting obligations, products and proceeds of all of the foregoing.  Despite the default status, Thermo remains supportive of the company and have not initiated any legal process to foreclose on the outstanding amount. Management are confident that a new payment schedule will be agreed with Thermo when our Form S1 registration is deemed effective by the SEC, allowing us to commence drawing against the equity funding line with Kodiak capital.

One of our subsidiaries, Phone House, Inc., has a line of credit with Wells Fargo bank in the amount of $32,472 and $38,102 as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Another one of our subsidiaries, Ingedigit International Inc. has a line of credit with the Florida Export Finance Corporation (“FEFC”) in the amount of $1,072,916, with monthly payments to commence July 15, 2011 in the principal amount of $65,000.00 plus 6% per annum interest on the then outstanding balance.

13.           Promissory Notes and Convertible Promissory Notes

Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2011:
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, we issued $72,000 and $104,500 of total principal in the form of promissory notes, respectively, and $170,000 and $644,000, respectively, of total principal in the form of convertible promissory notes. Substantially all of the proceeds have been used for the continued operation of our business, including capital expenditures and working capital. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 we also restructured $215,000 and $549,850, respectively, principal amount of promissory notes into convertible promissory notes, which were assigned to third parties and subsequently partially converted into shares of common stock.

As of March 31, 2011, we had (taking into consideration the calculation of debt discounts) $3,939,075 of total principal owed under promissory notes and $2,029,092 of total principal owed under convertible promissory notes.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2010

Summary
During the year ended June 30, 2010, we issued $870,000 of total principal in the form of promissory notes ($350,000 of which had warrants attached to them), and $358,000 of total principal in the form of convertible promissory notes. Substantially all of the proceeds have been used for the continued operation of our business, including capital expenditures and working capital.  During the year ended June 30, 2010 we also restructured $540,000 principal amount of promissory notes into U.S. Dollar Convertible Promissory Notes issued with warrants, and restructured $193,350 principal amount of debt owed to Flint Telecom, Ltd. into convertible notes, which were assigned to third parties and subsequently partially converted into shares of restricted common stock.  As of June 30, 2010, we had (taking into consideration the calculation of debt discounts) $3,997,024 of total principal owed under promissory notes and $1,214,056 of total principal owed under convertible promissory notes.  
 
14.           Commitments and Contingencies

A stipulation for judgment was filed by Carmel Solutions, Inc. ("Carmel") in the Superior Court of California, Orange County, in accordance with, and upon our default of, a settlement agreement we entered into with Carmel on May 5, 2009, and a judgment was entered against us on October 26, 2009 in the amount of $72,852, plus accruing interest from that date at the rate of $20 per day and post judgment costs incurred in enforcing the judgment. As of March 31, 2011, the financial statements contain a payable amount of $60,000 in relation to this action. Our management is confident that the lower amount will be more reflective of the end settlements amount. There are currently no discussions taking place between the parties on settling this amount and no approach has been received from Carmel since the judgment was entered.
 
 
We are a defendant in a pending legal proceeding filed by AT&T on December 11, 2009, in the U.S District Court of the District of Connecticut.  This suit alleges one cause of action for breach of contract.  The complaint alleges that we owe money for services rendered, that we subsequently entered into a settlement agreement with AT&T to settle the amount owed to AT&T, and that we failed to make any payments due under such settlement agreement. AT&T was granted an automatic entry of judgment against us in the amount of $440,672 plus interest, attorney’s fees and costs.  In December of 2010, AT&T obtained an Order of Garnishment against one of our bank accounts in the amount of $510,525, $76,653 of which was actually garnished. We are currently negotiating a payment schedule with AT&T that management is confident will result in a structured plan to allow us pay the remaining balance. As of March 31, 2011, the financial statements contain a payable amount of $440,672 in relation to this action. Our management is in active discussions with AT&T to agree a phased payment of this amount over two years and is confident that this outcome will result from those discussions.

We are also one of a number of defendants in a pending legal proceeding filed by First Citizens Bank & Trust, Inc. on June 17, 2010 in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia.  This suit alleges five causes of action, three of which relate to the breach of Flint’s loan agreement entered into with the Georgian Bank in the principal amount of $500,000 plus interest, attorney’s fees and costs.  We did not respond within the time period allowed. A motion for default judgment was filed on October 11, 2010 against us for the amount of $200,000 plus interest, attorney’s fees and costs.  As of March 31, 2011, we have accrued $200,000 in the accounts in relation to this action. Management has opened discussions with representatives of the plaintiff to discuss a phased payment of the amount due. It is too early for management to say if this will be achieved.

Bill Burbank, our previous President and COO, filed a lawsuit against us in the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida on September 22, 2010. This complaint alleges one cause of action for breach of agreement.  The Complaint claims that we entered into a settlement agreement with Bill Burbank to settle the amount owed to him, and that we failed to make the first payment due under such settlement agreement. Mr. Burbank sought and received a judgment for damages in the amount of $190,000 plus interest, attorney’s fees and costs. As of March 31, 2011, we have accrued $195,623 in the accounts in relation to this action to include interest and penalties. Management intends to enter into renewed discussions with Mr. Burbank to discharge this amount.
 
On October 25, 2010, China Voice Holding Corp. ("CHVC") filed a lawsuit against us in the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida.  This suit alleges one cause of action for breach of contract.  The complaint alleges that we entered into a settlement agreement with CHVC to settle the amount owed to it, and that we failed to make the first monthly payment due under such settlement agreement.  CHVC sought and received a judgment for damages in the amount of $82,742 plus pre-judgment interest of 18% per annum starting September 1, 2010, plus $500,000 as an additional liquidated damage, post judgment interest, costs and attorney’s fees. As of March 31, 2011, we have accrued $2,182,676 in the financial statements in relation to this action to include interest and penalties. In the interim, a large proportion of this amount as been assigned to a third party by CHVC and management is in active discussions with that party to agree new payment terms.
 
On November 10, 2010, Abovenet Communications filed a complaint against us in US District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging breach of contract and seeking $87,761 in damages, plus interest, attorney’s fees and costs. As of March 31, 2011, we have accrued $16,000 in the financial statements in relation to this action, which is the amount of services used from Abovenet prior to its action. It is too early in the process for management to accurately estimate the full contingency amount attached to this legal action. To date, no discussions have taken place with Abovenet in relation to settling this action.

On November 24, 2010, Tom Davis filed a Demand for Arbitration alleging a breach of the settlement agreement by and among Mr. Davis and Flint, and seeking damages in the amount of $2,230,000. As of March 31, 2011 the financial statements include $1,126,875 in loans and accrued interest and $1,530,000 in preferred shares in relation to Mr. Davis. Management remains confident that suitable terms can be reached with Mr. Davis to reschedule agreed payment arrangements to settle this action.

Because Thermocredit has a first priority secured interest against all of Flint’s assets, Flint expects that Thermocredit will prevent any future collections on any of these judgments, and management hopes to be able to negotiate further with these plaintiffs and come to a reasonable settlement.

We are also a party to other legal proceedings in the normal course of business.  Based on evaluation of these matters and discussions with counsel, we believe that liabilities arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of our operations or financial position. 

Due to the regulatory nature of the industry, the Company periodically receives and responds to various correspondence and inquiries from state and federal regulatory agencies. Management does not expect the outcome on these inquiries to have a material impact on our operations or financial condition.

15.           Stockholder’s Equity

Temporary Equity:
We have two series of preferred stock that are classified as temporary equity, Series E and Series H.

Effective February of 2010 we designated 302,000 shares of Series E preferred stock, with no par value (the “Series E”), convertible into a maximum potential total of 549,091 shares of common stock, using the following calculation: Convertible into that number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by the quotient of (i) $10.00 over (ii) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion; The Conversion Price has a 20% discount to the Market Price at time of conversion and subject to a minimum conversion price of $5.50 per Common Share; Market Price means the average closing price of our common stock over the twenty trading days preceding the conversion request date.   This Series E has one vote per share of preferred stock and yields a 14% annual dividend payment, payable monthly, the first payment of which will be February 28, 2010.  A penalty rate of one half of one percent (0.5%) per month on the total amount outstanding will apply for dividend payments that are more than ten (10) business days late, and will continue to apply and accrue until default payments are caught up in full. As of June 30, 2010 we owed $238,792 in unpaid dividends, as of December 31, 2010 we owed $548,216 in unpaid dividends on our Series E.  During the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 we accounted for the Series E dividend payments by recording a $361,403 increase to the accumulated deficit and a corresponding increase in redeemable preferred shares.

Effective October 25, 2010 we designated 600,000 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, with a $0.001 per share par value, and one vote for each preferred share issued. The fair value of the common stock into which the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted is $10.00 per preferred share. Each preferred share has a conversion value of $10.00 of common stock. The 600,000 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock therefore represents an aggregate value of $6 million in common stock when converted.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
33

 
 
 
 



 
The Series H Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible on or after a period of twelve months from the closing date into common stock at a 25% discount to the Market Price.  Market Price is defined as the average closing price per share over the twenty trading days prior to the date of conversion. Provided, however, that the conversion price shall never be lower than ten percent of the Market Price on the closing date, or $0.0118. The closing price for our common stock on October 25, 2010 was $0.118. Therefore, the applicable conversion price for the full amount of Series H preferred stock at the transaction date was $0.0885 per share, representing a potential total of 67,796,610 common shares on the transaction date. We have recorded a debt discount of $1,000,000 on the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock of which we accreted $566,438 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
 

If the 300,000 currently issued Series H Convertible Preferred Shares were converted as of March 31, 2011, a total of 25,423,728 common shares would be issued based on the lowest per share conversion price of $0.0118.  However, these preferred shares are not convertible until October 25, 2011, and, the Power2Process and Ingedigit shareholders as a group cannot hold more than 4.99% of Flint’s total issued and outstanding common stock at any one time.

 
Preferred Stock:
As of March 31, 2011, 5,000,000 total shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, were authorized and 608,780 shares were issued and outstanding, which is comprised of:

Effective June 17, 2010, we designated 153,000 shares of Series F preferred stock, valued at $10.00 per share, and yielding a 14% annual dividend payment, based on the total value of the Shares, payable annually beginning on June 17, 2011; A penalty rate of 0.5% per month on the total amount outstanding will apply for dividend payments that are more than 10 days late, and will continue to apply until default payments are paid in full.  These shares of Series F preferred stock are convertible at any time after January 1, 2011 into a maximum potential total of 1,530,000 shares, using the following calculation: Convertible into that number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by the quotient of (i) $10.00 over (ii) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion.  The Conversion Price has a 20% discount to the Market Price at time of conversion and subject to a minimum conversion price of $1.00 per Common Share; Market Price means the average closing price of Flint’s common stock over the twenty trading days preceding the conversion request date. The Shares will be transferable at Mr. Davis’ discretion, after giving Flint a right of first refusal; and at no time shall Mr. Davis’ beneficial ownership exceed 4.99% of our total issued and outstanding shares.
 
Effective June 17, 2010 we also designated 153,779.66 shares of Series G preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share and convertible into 768,898 shares of common stock.  The Series G preferred carries no dividend and a one vote per preferred share voting right. At no time shall the Series G Holder’s beneficial ownership exceed 4.99% of our total issued and outstanding shares.

As of March 31, 2011, there are no shares of Series A, B, C or D preferred stock outstanding.   

Common Stock:
As of March 31, 2011 we had 900,000,000 total authorized common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 91,388,915 common shares issued and outstanding. There are no special voting or economic rights or privileges.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, on January 13, 2011, we received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority clearing our 1 for 20 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common shares.  Our issued and outstanding common shares were decreased from 818,277,527 to 40,913,876 effective January 14, 2011.

As of June 30, 2010, we had 200,000,000, par value $0.01, total shares of common stock authorized and 6,491,221 shares were issued and outstanding. There were no special voting or economic rights or privileges.

 All warrants are fully exercisable.
(1)
Because Flint has not been able to repay a number of its other promissory notes issued to various third parties on time and under their existing terms and conditions, an event of default has occurred and therefore the exercise price of the warrants issued to purchase up to 207,273 shares of Flint’s common stock has been reduced from $7.00 per share to $0.20 per share, and additional warrants to purchase up to 51,818 shares of Flint’s common stock were issued, also exercisable at $0.20 per share. Of which, 122,727 have been cashlessly exercised into 98,182 shares.

2009 Restricted Stock Plan:
The 2009 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2009 Plan”) was adopted by us and our board of directors in October 2009 and on December 2, 2009 the 2009 Plan was approved by our stockholders.  The purpose of the 2009 Restricted Stock Plan is to provide the Company’s employees, directors, officers and consultants, whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of the Company, an incentive, through ownership of the Company’s common stock, to encourage the Company’s employees, directors, officers and consultants to accept or continue in service with the Company, and to help the Company compete effectively with other enterprises for the services of qualified individuals. A total of 1,750,000 shares of our common stock has been initially reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan, subject to adjustment only in the event of a stock split, stock or other extraordinary dividend, or other similar change in the common stock or capital structure of the Company.   As of December 31, 2010, 1,675,000 shares are issued and outstanding under the 2009 Plan, of which, all but 362,500 shares have vested.  We intend to propose an increase in the total authorized shares reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan in our upcoming annual shareholders’ meeting.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
35

 
 
 
 


The 2009 Restricted Stock Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock, subject to terms, conditions and restrictions as determined by the Board.  The Board shall have the power, from time to time, in its discretion, to select those employees, officers, directors or consultants to whom Awards shall be granted under the Plan, to determine the number of Shares to be granted pursuant to each Award, and, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, to determine the terms and conditions of each Award (which need not be identical) including any additional restrictions applicable to such Shares, including the time or times at which the Shares shall be sellable, and to interpret the Plan's provisions, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations for the Plan, and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.  All awards shall be granted within ten years from the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board.
 
16.           Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
We report Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) as follows: Basic EPS is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants and other convertible securities. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Since we incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, 463,118,268 potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted EPS as their effect is anti-dilutive.  Since we incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, 3,117,950 potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted EPS as their effect is anti-dilutive.

We reported a net loss of $2,092,030 and $6,403,275, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011.  We reported a net loss of $8,509,926 and $1,246,295, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010.  
 
 
17.           Stock Based Compensation

Stock Options:
As part of the reverse merger with Semotus that closed on October 1, 2008, we assumed Semotus’ 1996 and 2005 Stock Option Plans, as described in Note 14.
 
We recognize expense related to the fair value of employee stock option awards on a straight line vesting basis over the vesting period of the award. Total stock expense recognized by us during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $15,609.
 We have estimated the fair value of our option awards granted on or after October 1, 2008 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.  Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock. We use actual data to estimate option exercises, forfeitures and cancellations within the valuation model.  The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Restricted Common Stock:
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 we issued a total of 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to a consultant as compensation for services rendered. Additionally, 75,000 shares previously issued to certain officers vested.,  We recorded $143,521 in expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 related to management and employee issuances.  We recorded $32,333 in expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 related to the consultant issuances.

18.           Exchange Gains and Losses

As of March 31, 2011 have issued and outstanding €48,936 in one non-convertible note payable, which has been partially converted and partially assigned and converted (See Note 11, Convertible Notes Payable for more details), and one million dollars (USD$1,000,000) due May 2011,have to be paid through a payment of GBP 721,000, regardless of whether the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens in relation to the GBP pound sterling during the term of the Note and whether there is therefore a foreign currency translation gain or loss. The reporting currency of Flint is the U.S. Dollar so that transactions and balances are translated into dollars. We recorded a $39,079 gain and a $160,787 gain on translation for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 As of March 31, 2010 have issued and outstanding €3,020,000 worth of Convertible Preferred Series E shares, €100,000 in non-convertible notes payable, and a portion equal to one million dollars (USD$1,000,000) of the balance due on a $7,000,000 note must be paid through a payment of GBP£721,000, regardless of whether the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens in relation to the GBP pound sterling during the term of the Note and whether there is therefore a foreign currency translation gain or loss. The reporting currency of Flint is the U.S. Dollar so that transactions and balances are translated into dollars. We recorded a $160,787 gain and a $149,980 gain on translation for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.

19.           $15 Million Reserve Equity Financing Agreement

On November 26, 2010, Flint Telecom Group, Inc. (“Flint” or the “Company”) entered into an Investment Agreement, as amended and restated on January 21, 2011 (the “IA Agreement”) with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC (“Kodiak”), pursuant to which Kodiak committed to purchase, from time to time over a period of two years, shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) for cash consideration up to $15 million, subject to certain conditions and limitations.  In connection with the IA Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Kodiak, dated November 26, 2010 (the “RRA Agreement”).  The Company is also required to pay Kodiak a total of $20,000 in cash, and issue to Kodiak 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock, which were issued in December of 2010, and which resulted in a deferred offering cost paid in common stock of $66,000.

 The IA Agreement will require Kodiak to sell shares in the market and in order to be successful requires the stock to be liquid and trading at levels that will generate enough value to allow the company to draw the full amount over the period. The agreement allows us to place shares with Kodiak based on a formula. The maximum amount of each Put is equal to, at Kodiak’s election, five hundred percent (500%) of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days prior to the applicable Put notice date, multiplied by the average of the five (5) daily closing bid prices immediately preceding the Put Date, or (B) five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). This determines the maximum amount that we can draw per Put and is directly related to the trading activity of the stock.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
37

 
 
 
 



If this formula was applied to the trading history of our stock over the previous calendar quarter and we elected to make two puts per month then we would have been able to place shares up the following Put amounts on Kodiak :

Date
 
5 day average volume
   
500% of 5 day average
   
Average closing bid price

    242,459       1,212,293       0.0153       18,597

    1,367,179       6,835,894       0.0111       75,878  
28-Feb-11
    312,022       1,560,111       0.0075       11,763  
15-Mar-11
    1,282,434       6,412,171       0.0129       82,845  
31-Mar-11
    1,806,468       9,032,342       0.0067       60,336  

The above table is based on historical performance and is intended purely to illustrate the amount of funds that we could have drawn from Kodiak had the Equity Finance Agreement been available during that period. Actual amounts sold to Kodiak are based on the lowest closing bid price of the shares in the 5 days following the Put that will determine the actual amount of shares issued to Kodiak with each Put. We are under no contractual obligation to exercise a Put and market conditions at the time will determine when management would take that option. Future performance cannot be guaranteed but on the basis that the share volumes continue in future periods in line with recent history we would have the ability to avail ourselves of the full $15 million available under the agreement. As of March 31, 2011, we do not have sufficient authorized shares available to raise the full $15 million under the Kodiak financing agreement. In order to facilitate the full draw we will most likely have to increase our number of total authorized shares, requiring a shareholder vote, before we would have the ability to raise the full $15 million under the Kodiak financing agreement.

The following summary of the IA Agreement and the RRA Agreement with Kodiak is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements, each of which is attached as an exhibit to our Form 8-K filed on November 30, 2010. Readers should review those agreements for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this financing. 

Investment Agreement
For a period of 24 months from the effectiveness of a registration statement filed pursuant to the RRA Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, at its discretion, and subject to certain conditions that it must satisfy, draw down funds under the IA Agreement by selling shares of its Common Stock to Kodiak up to an aggregate of $15 million, subject to various limitations that may reduce the total amount available to the Company. The purchase price of these shares will be at a 5% discount to the “LCBBP” of the Common Stock during the pricing period (the “Pricing Period,”) which is the five consecutive trading days after the Company gives Kodiak a put notice (a “Put”), under the IA Agreement.  The “LCBBP” means, as of any date, the lowest closing best bid price over a period of five trading days after the Put.  
  
The Company’s ability to require Kodiak to purchase its Common Stock is subject to various conditions and limitations. The maximum amount of each Put is equal to, at Kodiak’s election, five hundred percent (500%) of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days prior to the applicable Put notice date, multiplied by the average of the five (5) daily closing bid prices immediately preceding the Put Date, or (B) five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). The Company shall not be entitled to submit a Put until after the previous Put closing has been completed.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
38

 
 
 
 



The IA Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company and Kodiak which are typical for transactions of this type.  Kodiak agreed that during the term of the IA Agreement, Kodiak will not enter into or execute any short sale of any shares of the Common Stock as defined in Regulation SHO promulgated under the Exchange Act.  The IA Agreement also contains a variety of covenants by us which are typical for transactions of this type.

The IA Agreement obligates the Company to indemnify Kodiak for certain losses resulting from a misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by us or breach of any obligation of ours. Kodiak also indemnifies the Company for similar matters.

Registration Rights Agreement
The shares of Common Stock that may be issued to Kodiak under the IA Agreement will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”).  Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the Company will file a registration statement, covering the possible resale by Kodiak of the shares that the Company may issue to Kodiak under the IA. The registration statement may cover only a portion of the total shares of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the IA with Kodiak.  The Company may file subsequent registration statements covering the resale of additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the IA Agreement.  As described above, the effectiveness of the registration statement is a condition precedent to the Company’s ability to sell Common Stock to Kodiak under the IA Agreement. The Company filed the registration statement on December 3, 2010 and has made a number of amendments based on various comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission, which the Company is still in the process of answering.

20.           Segment Information

Following the corporate restructuring during the financial year ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s management decided to structure the business into three separate operating segments. These segments are (1) the sale of third-party telecoms and networking equipment and software services (collectively referred to as equipment as “telecom software, services & equipment”), (2) the sale of Company produced and third-party prepaid calling products (collectively referred to as “prepaid telecom services”) (3) the delivery of wholesale and VoIP telecom services to other operators and direct to end users (collectively referred to as “telecom services”).  Following the acquisition of III and P2P in October 2010, the Company’s management elected to report these units under a new segment for the sale of financial processing services, debit card programs and mobile payment & remittance services (collectively referred to as “financial processing services”). These have been included for the current reporting period and for each period thereafter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily consisting of compensation of corporate employees, professional fees and overhead costs not directly related to a specific operating segment are reflected in the table below as “corporate activities”.

 During the course of normal business our segments enter into transactions with one another. Examples of these intersegment transactions include, but are not limited to, the telecom services segment carrying calls generated by the prepaid telecom services segment. These intersegment activities are recorded by each segment at prices approximating market and treated as if they are third-party transactions. Consequently, these transactions impact segment performance. However, revenues and corresponding costs are eliminated in consolidation and do not impact consolidated results.

21.             Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events through May 23, 2011, which is the date the financial statements were issued.

Debt Defaults:
As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report, we remain in default on the $2,000,000 promissory note issued to Thermocredit, and the total balance has therefore been classified as a current liability.  Upon default, the entire unpaid balance of principal, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other indebtedness owing to Thermo at such time, which as of March 31,2011 was $2,498,186, shall, at the option of Thermo, become immediately due and payable without further notice. In addition, Thermo shall be entitled to foreclose upon its security interests granted under the Agreement and to cause the Collateral to be immediately seized wherever found and sold with or without appraisal. Collateral consists of any and all of our subsidiaries’ property or assets, real or personal, tangible or intangible, now existing or hereafter acquired, and all supporting obligations, products and proceeds of all of the foregoing.

As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report, we have not made any payments to China Voice Holding Corp. (CHVC) pursuant to a settlement agreement we executed in June 2010, and we are therefore in default. A default interest rate of 18% shall be applied to any outstanding payments owed as of the date of default. An additional cash payment of $500,000 will also be immediately due and payable.  Effective June 30, 2010 the settlement agreement was amended to delete CHVC’s option to be repaid through the issuance of shares of Flint’s common stock.   CHVC has obtained judgment against Flint for $82,742 plus pre-judgment interest of 18% per annum starting September 1, 2010, plus $500,000 as an additional liquidated damage, post judgment interest, costs and attorney’s fees.

As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report, neither of the two promissory notes issued to SEL Nominees having a total principal balance of $98,000 have been repaid and are therefore in default. As a result, a default interest rate of 25% applies and the notes are immediately due and payable and we shall pay an amount equal to the greater of (i) 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of the notes plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest plus (y) default interest  (the “Default Sum”) or (ii) the “parity value” of the Default Sum to be prepaid, where parity value means (a) the highest number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such Default Sum.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached financial statements and notes thereto. Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed below are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the risks and uncertainties discussed below.

OVERVIEW
Management’s objective for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was to improve overall operations to reduce the need for external financing in the difficult economic and financial markets.  We continued our focus on growing our prepaid card business.  We have been actively engaged in seeking additional external financing and other strategic partnerships and relationships to further enhance the scale, depth and profitability of the business.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had a net loss of $2,281,245 ($0. per share basic and diluted), as compared to a net loss of $8,509,926 ($0.10 per share basic and diluted), in the three months ended March 31, 2010. We had a net loss of $6,953,893 ($0. per share basic and diluted) in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to a net loss of $21,616,123 ($0.27 per share basic and diluted)  in the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  The decrease in the losses year on year was a direct result of a one time impairment charge of goodwill and other intangibles in the amount of $12,215,200, along with some other exceptional operational costs relating to the closing of non-profitable businesses as of March 31, 2010, that were acquired as part of the CHVC transaction in 2009.  Management felt it prudent to revalue the businesses acquired in 2009 at this time based on this action.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010

REVENUES

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased to $3,779,682 as compared to $2,862,261 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased to $12,640,351 as compared to $11,537,215 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due an 150% increase in revenues in our software and equipment segment on increased orders for cable equipment which is expected to continue throughout 2011 and a 2.7% growth in sales our third party calling products.

COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS MARGIN

While the overall gross margin increased by 326% during the three months ended March 31, 2011 versus the three months ended March 31,2010 primarily due to revenue mix of higher margin products in the quarter, the overall gross margin percentage has decreased by 2% in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 versus 2010 due to lower margins generated on the prepaid products sold as a result of increased competition in the segment which represent 95% of revenues for the nine month period.
OPERATING EXPENSES
 
Operating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased by 28% to $1,620,765 as compared to $2,234,906 in the three month period ended March 31, 2010, and decreased by 57% to $3,664,910 during the nine month period ending March 31, 2011 as compared to $6,373,512 in the nine month period ended March 31, 2010. 

Operating expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, including payroll, accounting, legal, consulting, rent and other overhead costs. This category also includes stock compensation and option expense, the costs associated with being a publicly traded company, including the costs of SEC filings, a management fee payable to Flint, Ltd., investor relations and public relations.  These costs decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily due to one time stock compensation costs of approximately $800,000 issued to departing management as part of the corporate restructuring during the three months ended March 31,2010
The non-cash charges for compensation consist mainly of the grants of stock issued for services rendered.  The common stock issued was valued at its fair market value at the date of issuance and do not represent any cash payments.

INTEREST EXPENSE
 
Interest expense decreased to $812,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $1,004,401 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, and increased to $3,467,920 as compared to $2,953,136 during the  nine months ended March 31, 2011 versus 2010.    Interest expense is related to accrued interest on the convertible and promissory notes, as well as the amortization of the debt discounts related to those notes.   The amount of interest charges related to accounting for debt discounts that did not involve the payment of cash amounted to $1,141,870.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overall cash increased by $26,149 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 due to management’s focus on maximizing the use of cash in the business to minimize the amounts of capital required to be raised from outside sources.
The sources and uses of cash are summarized as follows (unaudited):

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, cash used in operating activities was $830,998 resulting from a gross profit of $673,905 and operating expenses of $3,664,910. The loss included non cash charges for stock and option compensation of $744,834,  accretion of debt discount of $1,141,870 and amortization of beneficial conversion feature of $761,444 and depreciation and amortization charges of $710,176
During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, cash used in operating activities was $2,052,956 resulting from a gross profit of $1,550,956 and operating expenses of $6,865,864. The loss included non cash charges for stock and option compensation of $2,483,095 and amortization of debt discount of $1,221,693.  

Other operating activities that increased cash during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were a increase in accounts payable of $465,729, reduction in inventories of $140,427, an increase in the cash overdraft of $34,398and accrued liabilities $440,449.  Operating activities that decreased cash included a increase in accounts receivable of $543,149 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $29,420 and a decrease in other payables of $6,134

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 consisted of the sale of short term promissory notes, which provided $810,611in cash, and from the sale of common stock  of $32,500. Cash used in financing activities for the nine month ended March 31, 2011 of the repayment on the line of credit of $5,630

During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 consisted of the sale of short term promissory notes, which provided $1,225,550 in cash, and from our line of credit in the amount of $18,293.  Cash used in financing activities for the nine month ended March 31, 2010 consisted primarily of repayment of $225,279 to various promissory note holders

$4,602 of cash was used in foreign currency transactions related to exchange losses on convertible notes payable during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and $149,980 of cash was used in foreign currency transactions for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  
 
 
As of March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $45,567, an increase of $19,419 from the balance at June 30, 2010, which was $26,148.  Our working capital deficit increased as of March 31, 2011 to $15,859,194 as compared to a working capital deficit of $18,594,788 at June 30, 2010.  We have not yet generated sufficient revenues to cover the costs of continued product and service development and support, sales and marketing efforts and general and administrative expenses.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
44

 
 
 
 



We are still largely dependent on financing in order to generate cash to maintain its operations. We are currently investigating the capital markets for additional financings. However, there is no assurance that any additional capital will be raised.  We closely monitor our cash balances and our operating costs in order to maintain an adequate level of cash.

On November 26, 2010 we signed an Equity Line of Credit Agreement with Kodiak Capital, as amended and restated on January 21, 2011. This agreement allows us to place up to $15 million worth of our common stock to Kodiak over two years, subject certain conditions, which will become available to us when a registration statement on Form S-1 is deemed effective by the SEC. This agreement will require Kodiak to sell shares in the market and in order to be successful requires the stock to be liquid and trading at levels that will generate enough value to allow the company to draw the full amount over the period. The agreement allows us to place shares with Kodiak based on a formula. The maximum amount of each Put is equal to, at Kodiak’s election, five hundred percent (500%) of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days prior to the applicable Put notice date, multiplied by the average of the five (5) daily closing bid prices immediately preceding the Put Date, or (B) five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). This determines the maximum amount that we can draw per Put and is directly related to the trading activity of the stock.

If this formula was applied to the trading history of our stock over the previous calendar quarter and we elected to make two puts per month then we would have been able to place shares up the following Put amounts on Kodiak :

Date
 
5 day average volume
   
500% of 5 day average
   
Average closing bid price
   
Maximum available amount
 
                         
15-Jan-11
    788,223       3,941,113       0.0216       85,207  
31-Jan-11
    242,459       1,212,293       0.0153       18,597  
14-Feb-11
    1,367,179       6,835,894       0.0111       75,878  
28-Feb-11
    312,022       1,560,111       0.0075       11,763

    1,282,434       6,412,171       0.0129       82,845  
31-Mar-11
    1,806,468       9,032,342       0.0067       60,336  

The above table is based on historical performance and is intended purely to illustrate the amount of funds that we could have drawn from Kodiak had the Equity Finance Agreement been available during that period. Actual amounts sold to Kodiak are based on the lowest closing bid price of the shares in the 5 days following the Put that will determine the actual amount of shares issued to Kodiak with each Put. We are under no contractual obligation to exercise a Put and market conditions at the time will determine when management would take that option. Future performance cannot be guaranteed but on the basis that the share volumes continue in future periods in line with recent history we would have the ability to avail ourselves of the full $15 million available under the agreement. As of March 31, 2011, we do not have sufficient authorized shares available to raise the full $15 million under the Kodiak financing agreement. In order to facilitate the full draw we will most likely have to increase our number of total authorized shares, requiring a shareholder vote, before we would have the ability to raise the full $15 million under the Kodiak financing agreement.

As of the date of the filing of this report, we have a total of approximately $3.7 million of loan principal that is past due from a total principal balance of approximately $6.7 million, representing 14 individual parties. Under the terms of the loan agreements the $6.7 million principal is payable. In addition, approximately $2.1 million of accumulated interest, preferred share dividends and related penalties is past due on these loans. We are in active discussions with these parties about the outstanding debt and rescheduling payments in the future based on the business progress during 2010 and the ability of the Company to meet the new arrangements from the Kodiak funding. They are waiting to finalize these terms once the Registration Statement is deemed effective and a structured funding environment is in place. Of the 11 parties, four have initiated legal proceedings, the remainder, including our secured lender, have not initiated legal proceedings. Of the four that have taken legal steps, we believe, based on discussions with them, that suitable payment terms will be agreed upon over the duration of the Kodiak funding. In addition to these loans, we have approximately $1.2 million of trade payables that are past due. Two parties have received summary judgments, as reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 and in this quarterly report, and we have been served with a pending action from another. Despite receiving these judgments, we have agreed to terms to pay down one of the larger amounts over two years. Management is confident the Company will be successful in satisfying these obligations prior to foreclosure or bankruptcy. However, there is no assurance that any additional capital will be raised.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not Applicable to Smaller Reporting Companies.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
(a)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.
 
In future filings we will disclose any further change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

A stipulation for judgment was filed by Carmel Solutions, Inc. ("Carmel") in the Superior Court of California, Orange County, in accordance with, and upon our default of, a settlement agreement we entered into with Carmel on May 5, 2009, and a judgment was entered against us on October 26, 2009 in the amount of $72,852, plus accruing interest from that date at the rate of $20 per day and post judgment costs incurred in enforcing the judgment. As of March 31, 2011, the financial statements contain a payable amount of $60,000 in relation to this action. Our management is confident that the lower amount will be more reflective of the end settlements amount. There are currently no discussions taking place between the parties on settling this amount and no approach has been received from Carmel since the judgment was entered.
 
 
We are a defendant in a pending legal proceeding filed by AT&T on December 11, 2009, in the U.S District Court of the District of Connecticut.  This suit alleges one cause of action for breach of contract.  The complaint alleges that we owe money for services rendered, that we subsequently entered into a settlement agreement with AT&T to settle the amount owed to AT&T, and that we failed to make any payments due under such settlement agreement. AT&T was granted an automatic entry of judgment against us in the amount of $440,672 plus interest, attorney’s fees and costs.  In December of 2010, AT&T obtained an Order of Garnishment against one of our bank accounts in the amount of $510,525, $76,653 of which was actually garnished. We are currently negotiating a payment schedule with AT&T that management is confident will result in a structured plan to allow us pay the remaining balance. As of March 31, 2011, the financial statements contain a payable amount of $440,672 in relation to this action. Our management is in active discussions with AT&T to agree a phased payment of this amount over two years and is confident that this outcome will result from those discussions.
 
 
We are also one of a number of defendants in a pending legal proceeding filed by First Citizens Bank & Trust, Inc. on June 17, 2010 in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia.  This suit alleges five causes of action, three of which relate to the breach of Flint’s loan agreement entered into with the Georgian Bank in the principal amount of $500,000 plus interest, attorney’s fees and costs.  We did not respond within the time period allowed. A motion for default judgment was filed on October 11, 2010 against us for the amount of $200,000 plus interest, attorney’s fees and costs.  As of March 31, 2011, we have accrued $200,000 in the accounts in relation to this action. Management has opened discussions with representatives of the plaintiff to discuss a phased payment of the amount due. It is too early for management to say if this will be achieved.
 
Bill Burbank, our previous President and COO, filed a lawsuit against us in the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida on September 22, 2010. This complaint alleges one cause of action for breach of agreement.  The Complaint claims that we entered into a settlement agreement with Bill Burbank to settle the amount owed to him, and that we failed to make the first payment due under such settlement agreement. Mr. Burbank sought and received a judgment for damages in the amount of $190,000 plus interest, attorney’s fees and costs. As of March 31, 2011, we have accrued $195,623 in the accounts in relation to this action to include interest and penalties. Management intends to enter into renewed discussions with Mr. Burbank to discharge this amount.

On October 25, 2010, China Voice Holding Corp. ("CHVC") filed a lawsuit against us in the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida.  This suit alleges one cause of action for breach of contract.  The complaint alleges that we entered into a settlement agreement with CHVC to settle the amount owed to it, and that we failed to make the first monthly payment due under such settlement agreement.  CHVC sought and received a judgment for damages in the amount of $82,742 plus pre-judgment interest of 18% per annum starting September 1, 2010, plus $500,000 as an additional liquidated damage, post judgment interest, costs and attorney’s fees. As of March 31, 2011, we have accrued $2,182,676 in the financial statements in relation to this action to include interest and penalties. In the interim, a large proportion of this amount as been assigned to a third party by CHVC and management is in active discussions with that party to agree new payment terms.
 
On November 10, 2010, Abovenet Communications filed a complaint against us in US District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging breach of contract and seeking $87,761 in damages, plus interest, attorney’s fees and costs. As of March 31, 2011, we have accrued $16,000 in the financial statements in relation to this action, which is the amount of services used from Abovenet prior to its action. It is too early in the process for management to accurately estimate the full contingency amount attached to this legal action. To date, no discussions have taken place with Abovenet in relation to settling this action.

On November 24, 2010, Tom Davis filed a Demand for Arbitration alleging a breach of the settlement agreement by and among Mr. Davis and Flint, and seeking damages in the amount of $2,230,000. As of March 31, 2011 the financial statements include $1,126,875 in loans and accrued interest and $1,530,000 in preferred shares in relation to Mr. Davis. Management remains confident that suitable terms can be reached with Mr. Davis to reschedule agreed payment arrangements to settle this action.

Because Thermocredit has a first priority secured interest against all of Flint’s assets, Flint expects that Thermocredit will stop the actual collection on any of these judgments, and management hopes to be able to negotiate further with these plaintiffs and come to a reasonable settlement.

We are also a party to other legal proceedings in the normal course of business.  Based on evaluation of these matters and discussions with counsel, we believe that liabilities arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of our operations or financial position. 

Due to the regulatory nature of the industry, the Company periodically receives and responds to various correspondence and inquiries from state and federal regulatory agencies. Management does not expect the outcome on these inquiries to have a material impact on our operations or financial condition.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
 
We issued securities, which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as follows:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we issued 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to a consultant as compensation for services rendered. Additionally, 75,000 shares previously issued to certain officers vested, and 33,328,250 shares were issued pursuant to conversions of numerous convertible promissory notes.

 With respect to these transactions, we relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The investors are all accredited investors or certain persons outside the United States, and were given complete information concerning us and represented that the shares were being acquired for investment purposes. The issuance was made without general solicitation or advertising.  The appropriate restrictive legend was placed on the certificate and stop transfer instructions were issued to the transfer agent.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FLINT TELECOM GROUP, INC., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of David Dunne, an Irish corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) together with any interest as set forth herein, on or before January 11, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), and to accrue interest each month on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise.  This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty five percent (25%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”).  Interest shall commence accruing on the Issue Date, shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.  All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.  All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note.  Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date.  As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean

 
 

 

any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I.                      CONVERSION RIGHTS

1.1 Conversion Right.  The Holder shall have the right at any time on or prior to the later of: (i) the Maturity Date; and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price  (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”).  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”).  The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Borrower’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to pay any or all interest in cash plus (3) at the Borrower’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

1.2 Conversion Price.

(a) Calculation of Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price shall be the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject, in each case, to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events).  The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean the Applicable Percentage (as defined herein) multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein).  “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending one Trading Day prior to the date the Conversion Notice is sent by the Holder to the Borrower via

 
 

 

facsimile (the “Conversion Date”).  “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) mutually acceptable to Borrower and Holder and hereafter designated by Holders of a majority in interest of the Notes and the Borrower or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.  If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes.  “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.  “Applicable Percentage” shall mean 50%.
 

(b) Conversion Price During Major Announcements.  Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the  “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section 1.2(a).  For purposes hereof,  “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.

1.3 Authorized Shares.  The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved one times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time; initially 4,000,000 shares) (the “Reserved Amount”).  The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s

 
 

 

obligations pursuant to Section 4(g) of the Purchase Agreement.  The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes.  The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.
 

If, at any time a Holder of this Note submits a Notice of Conversion, and the Borrower does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available to effect such conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Article I (a “Conversion Default”), the Borrower shall issue to the Holder all of the shares of Common Stock which are then available to effect such conversion.  The portion of this Note which the Holder included in its Conversion Notice and which exceeds the amount which is then convertible into available shares of Common Stock (the “Excess Amount”) shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, not be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof until (and at the Holder’s option at any time after) the date additional shares of Common Stock are authorized by the Borrower to permit such conversion, at which time the Conversion Price in respect thereof shall be the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price on the Conversion Default Date (as defined below) and (ii) the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date thereafter elected by the Holder in respect thereof.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder payments (“Conversion Default Payments”) for a Conversion Default in the amount of (x) the sum of (1) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note through the Authorization Date (as defined below) plus (3) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (1) and/or (2), multiplied by (y) .24, multiplied by (z) (N/365), where N = the number of days from the day the holder submits a Notice of Conversion giving rise to a Conversion Default (the “Conversion Default Date”) to the date (the “Authorization Date”) that the Borrower authorizes a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to effect conversion of the full outstanding principal balance of this Note.  The Borrower shall use its best efforts to authorize a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i) such time that the Holder notifies the Borrower or that the Borrower otherwise becomes aware that there are or likely will be insufficient authorized and unissued shares to allow full conversion thereof and (ii) a Conversion Default.  The Borrower shall send notice to the Holder of the authorization of additional shares of Common Stock, the Authorization Date and the amount of Holder’s accrued Conversion Default Payments.  The accrued Conversion Default Payments for each calendar month shall be paid in cash or shall be convertible into Common Stock (at such time as there are sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock) at the applicable Conversion Price, at the Borrower’s option, as follows:

 
 

 


(a) In the event Holder elects to take such payment in cash, cash payment shall be made to Holder by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which it has accrued; and

(b) In the event Holder elects to take such payment in Common Stock, the Holder may convert such payment amount into Common Stock at the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time of conversion) at any time after the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued in accordance with the terms of this Article I (so long as there is then a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock).

The Holder’s election shall be made in writing to the Borrower at any time prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the third day of the month following the month in which Conversion Default payments have accrued.  If no election is made, the Holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive cash.  Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Conversion Default Payments) for the Borrower’s failure to maintain a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock, and each holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including degree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).

1.4 Method of Conversion.

(a) Mechanics of Conversion.  Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.

(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted.  The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 
 

 


 
(c) Payment of Taxes.  The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

(d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion.  Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) (such second business day being hereinafter referred to as the “Deadline”) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation, in accordance with the requirements of [Section 2(g)] of the Purchase Agreement that certificates for shares of Common Stock issued on or after the effective date of the Registration Statement upon conversion of this Note shall not bear any restrictive legend).

(e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock.  Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion.  If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.  The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

 
 

 


(f) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer.  In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

(g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline.  Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is more than three (3) business days after the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock.  Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note.

1.5 Concerning the Shares.  The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless  (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of  counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).  Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 
 

 


“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefor free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act and the shares are so sold or transferred, (ii) such Holder provides the Borrower or its transfer agent with reasonable assurances that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note (to the extent such securities are deemed to have been acquired on the same date) can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or (iii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold.

1.6 Effect of Certain Events.

(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc.  At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either:  (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof.  “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

 
 

 


(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc.  If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof.  The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b).  The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution.  If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

(d) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance.  If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a

 
 

 

“Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.
 

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable).  No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share.  For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities.  No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(e) Purchase Rights.  If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have

 
 

 

acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
 

(f) Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder of a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

1.7 Trading Market Limitations.  Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date, subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof.  Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued (the date of which is hereinafter referred to as the “Maximum Conversion Date”), the Borrower will use its best efforts to seek and obtain Shareholder Approval (or obtain such other relief as will allow conversions hereunder in excess of the Maximum Share Amount) as soon as practicable following the issuance of the Maximum Share Amount.  As used herein, “Shareholder Approval” means approval by the shareholders of the Borrower to authorize the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon full conversion of the then outstanding Notes but for the Maximum Share Amount.

1.8 Status as Shareholder.  Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms  of this Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon

 
 

 

as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted.  In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

ARTICLE IV.                                MISCELLANEOUS

4.1 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges.  All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

4.3 Amendments.  This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder.  The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument (and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

4.4 Assignability.  This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns.  Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act).  Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, this Note may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

 
 

 


 
4.5 Cost of Collection.  If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

4.6 Governing Law.  This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of Nevada or in the federal courts located in the state of Nevada.  The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens.  The Company and Holder waive trial by jury.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs.  In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.   Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

4.7 Certain Amounts.  Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note.  The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

4.8 Denominations.  At the request of the Holder, upon surrender of this Note, the Borrower shall promptly issue new Notes in the aggregate outstanding principal amount hereof, in the form hereof, in such denominations of at least $5,000 as the Holder shall request.

4.9 Purchase Agreement.  By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement.

(c)           At any time the Company shall have the option to redeem this Note and pay to the Holder 150% of the unpaid principal amount of this Note, in full.

The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

5.           No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.

13.           The Company will issue instructions to its transfer agent to issue 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company in the name of the Holder so that the holder may self escrow its conversions.  The Holder will send the Company a notice of conversion upon every conversion showing the amount of principal and interest paid down and the number of shares converted as a result.  Any shares remaining after the amounts due under this Note has been fully converted will be returned to the Company. The Holder may need to send its broker an initial conversion notice for the total amount of the shares being escrowed so they may be deposited- this initial conversion notice shall have no effect upon the actual shares being converted.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

WHEREAS, the Holder has entered into that certain debt purchase agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B, whereby it purchased certain of the Company’s debt with an initial issue date of June 4, 2009.

WHEREAS, the Parties hereto are replacing the previous Note for the purposes of clarity and ease of administration and not with the intent of creating a new security.


 NOW THEREFORE, the following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I
GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1           Payments. The entire unpaid principal amount due under this Note (the “Principal”) shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Interest on this Note (the “Interest”) will be payable on the Maturity Date. Interest shall be payable in cash or, at the Holder’s option, in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock").

           Upon any conversion in part by the Holder in accordance with Article II, the Holder and the Borrower shall in good faith recalculate the outstanding principal balance . Upon any full conversion by the Holder in accordance with Article II of all of the Interest and the Principal due hereunder, all of the Borrower's payment obligations shall terminate. All payments in respect of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be applied in the following order: to accrued Interest, Principal, and charges and expenses owing under or in connection with this Note.

 
 

 


           If any payment of interest is paid in Common Stock, the number of shares issuable will be determined utilizing the conversion ratio as set forth in Article II. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s right to pay this Note, including any Interest due thereunder, in shares of Common Stock upon the Maturity Date is subject to the condition that: (i) the Common Stock is trading on the Pink Sheets, OTC Bulletin Board, American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq; and (ii) there is an effective Registration Statement on the Maturity Date or the shares are otherwise eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144.

1.2           Interest.  Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal to fifteen percent (15%) from the date Principal was advanced in connection with this Note.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed,  to the extent permitted by applicable  law.  Interest hereunder will be paid to the Holder or its assignee in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Borrower regarding registration and transfers of Notes  (the “Note Register”).  However, should the Company be in default of any provision herein, the interest rate shall increase to 24% per annum for that period when the such default is in effect including if the Company’s filings are not up-to-date.

1.3           Payment Grace Period. From and after the 10th day after an Event of Default under Section 3.1, the Interest Rate applicable to any unpaid amounts owed hereunder shall be increased to twenty-four percent (24%) per annum.

1.4           Conversion Privileges. The conversion privileges set forth in Article II shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the date hereof and until the Note is paid in full regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default. This Note shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless previously converted into Common Stock in accordance with Article II hereof; provided, that if an Event of Default has occurred, the Holder may elect to extend the Maturity Date by the amount of days of the pendency of the Event of Default.

1.5           Corporate Existence.  So long as this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly consummate any merger, reorganization, restructuring, reverse stock split, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or any similar transaction or related transactions (each such transaction, a “Fundamental Change”) wherein the Company is not the surviving entity unless, prior to the consummation a Fundamental Change, the Company shall have given the Holder not less than fourteen (14) days prior written notice to the Holder.  In any such case, the Company grant the Holder the right to put this Note to the Company up to the time of the effectiveness of the Fundamental Change at 125% of the then outstanding Principal plus any unpaid and accrued Interest.

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHTS AND REDEMPTION RIGHTS

The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal and accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock as set forth below.

2.1           Conversion into the Borrower's Common Stock.

 
 

 


(a)           The Holder shall have the right from and after the date of the issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and accrued Interest, at the election of the Holder (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a "Conversion Date") into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note (such shares, the “Conversion Shares”), or any shares of capital stock of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (the “Other Securities”), at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the "Conversion Price"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the Borrower of a completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within two (2) business days from the Conversion Date (such second day being the “Delivery Date”) that number of Conversion Shares for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the Borrower will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Note being converted in the manner provided in Section 1.1 through the Conversion Date directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal of this Note and accrued interest to be converted, by the Conversion Price.

(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the Conversion Price per share shall be 50% of the lowest closing price for the Company’s stock during the previous 20 trading days.

(c)            The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

                                A.           Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.; Reclassification.  In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall, subject to Section 1.5 hereof, effect a Fundamental Change, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Note, on the conversion hereof as provided in Article II, at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Change, shall receive, in lieu of the Conversion Shares (or Other Securities) issuable on such conversion prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation of a Fundamental Change if such Holder had so converted this Note, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 2.1(c)(E).

                                           If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

                                B.           Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of this Note after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Article II to a bank or trust company (a “Trustee”) having its principal office in New York, NY, as trustee for the Holder of the Notes.

 
 

 


                                C.           Continuation of Terms. Upon any Fundamental Change or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Article II, this Note shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the conversion of this Note after the consummation of such Fundamental Change or transfer or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Note as provided in Section 2.1(c)(E). In the event this Note does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transaction described in this Article II, then only in such event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of this Note be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated by Section 2.1(c)(B).

                                D.           Share Issuance.  If at any time this Note is outstanding the Company shall offer, issue or agree to issue any common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the then applicable Conversion Price in respect of the Shares, without the consent of the Holders of this Note, except with respect to Excepted Issuances, then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, additional shares of Common Stock to each Holder so that the average per share purchase price of the shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder (of only the Conversion Shares still owned by the Holder) is equal to such other lower price per share and the Conversion Price shall automatically be reduced to such other lower price per share.  For the purposes hereof, "Excepted Issuances" means any offer, issuance or agreement to issue any common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of corporation or other entity, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans, (iv) the conversion of any of the Notes, (v) the payment of any interest on the Notes, and (vi) as has been described in the Reports filed with the Commission or delivered to the Holder prior to the issuance of this Note (collectively, the “Excepted Issuances”).  The delivery to the Holder of the additional shares of Common Stock shall be not later than the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue additional shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock upon the issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or option and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Conversion Price in effect upon such issuance.  The rights of the Holder set forth in this Section 2.1 (c)(D), are in addition to any other rights the Holder has pursuant to this Note, any Transaction Document and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith.

                                E.           Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) subject to Section 1.5 hereof, combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Conversion 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 Conversion Price then in effect. The Conversion 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 2.1(c)(E). The number of Conversion Shares that the Holder of this Note shall thereafter, on the conversion hereof as provided in Article II, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of Conversion Shares that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 2.1(c)(E)) be issuable on such conversion by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Conversion Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 2.1(c)(E)) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such conversion.

 
 

 


                                F.           Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the conversion of the Notes, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Note and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares to be received upon conversion of this Note, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Note. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Note and any transfer agent of the Company.

2.2           Method of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the Subscription Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.

2.3           Issuance Below Par.  The Parties hereto agree that the Delaware General Corporations Law allows for the issuance of conversion shares under this section even if such conversion price is less than the shares’ stated par value, and that such shares shall be issued in response to a Conversion Request regardless of Conversion Price.


                      2.4           Escrow Shares.    The company shall deposit 2,500,000 shares of its common stock in Escrow to secure its obligations hereunder, such shares to be released upon breach hereof or returned upon complete payment hereof and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement  of even date herewith by and among the Company, the Subscriber, and Jonathan D. Leinwand, P.A. as the Escrow Agent.

                      2.5           Conversion of Note.

(a)           Upon the conversion of this Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that, unless waived by the Holder, the Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Conversion Shares provided the Conversion Shares are being sold pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the Conversion Shares or are otherwise exempt from registration.

(b)           Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert this Note or part thereof by telecopying an executed and completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is attached as Exhibit A to the Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or overnight courier or otherwise pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Note. The Subscriber will not be required to surrender this Note until this Note has been fully converted or satisfied, with each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (as defined above). The Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note to the Subscriber via express courier for receipt by such Subscriber on or before the Delivery Date (as defined above). In the event the Conversion Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery of the Conversion Shares must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber and the Subscriber has complied with all applicable securities laws in connection with the sale of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the prospectus delivery requirements.  A Note representing the balance of this Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to the Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided the Subscriber delivers the original Note to the Company.

 
 

 


(c)           The Company understands and agrees that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 2.5(a) hereof, after the Delivery Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Conversion Shares upon Conversion of the Note in the amount of $1,000 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Note principal amount being converted of the corresponding Conversion Shares which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to theHolder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion  by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(d)           Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.

2.6           Injunction Posting of Bond. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert a Note or part thereof in whole or in part, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of such Note shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 120% of the amount of the Note, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
 
2.7           Optional Redemption.

(a)           Provided that the Company has a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock sufficient for the issuance of all Conversion Shares underlying the remaining principal amount of this Note, such Common Stock is listed or quoted (and is not suspended from trading) on the Principal Market and such shares of Common Stock are approved for listing on such Principal Market upon issuance if applicable, such Common Stock is registered for resale under the Registration Statement and the prospectus under such Registration Statement is available for the sale of all Registrable Securities held by the Subscriber, such issuance would be permitted in full without violating Section 2.3 herein or the rules or regulations of any trading market on which such Common Stock may be listed or quoted, and both immediately before and after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default under the Subscription Agreement or this Note shall or would exist, the Borrower will have the option of prepaying the outstanding principal amount of this Note ("Optional Redemption"), in whole or in part, together with interest accrued thereon, by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and interest that will accrue until the actual repayment date and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under the Note, the Subscription Agreement or any Transaction Document (the "Redemption Amount") on the day written notice of redemption (the "Notice of Redemption") is given to the Holder. The Notice of Redemption shall specify the date for such Optional Redemption (the "Redemption Payment Date"), which date shall be not less than five (5) business days after the date of the Notice of Redemption (the "Redemption Period"). A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which the Holder has a pending election to convert, or for Conversion Notices given by the Holder prior to the Redemption Payment Date. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount shall be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Borrower fails to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then (i) such Notice of Redemption will be null and void, (ii) Borrower will have no further right to deliver another Notice of Redemption, and (iii) Borrower’s failure may be deemed by Holder to be a non-curable Event of Default.

 
 

 


                      2.8           Mandatory Redemption at Subscriber’s Election.  In the event the Company is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares, or fails to timely deliver Shares on a Delivery Date, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in this Note or in the Subscription Agreement) or for any reason other than pursuant to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3 hereof, then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must pay to the Subscriber ten (10) business days after request by the Subscriber, at the Subscriber's election, a sum of money in immediately available terms equal to the greater of (i) the product of the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by the Subscriber multiplied by 120%, or (ii) the product of the number of Conversion Shares otherwise deliverable upon conversion of an amount of Note principal and/or interest designated by the Subscriber (with the date of giving of such designation being a “Deemed Conversion Date”) at the then Conversion Price that would be in effect on the Deemed Conversion Date multiplied by the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days preceding either: (1) the date the Company becomes obligated to pay the Mandatory Redemption Payment, or (2) the date on which the Mandatory Redemption Payment is made in full, whichever is greater, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any liquidated damages then payable (“Mandatory Redemption Payment”).  The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Subscriber on the same date as the Company Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) business days after request, whichever is sooner (“Mandatory Redemption Payment Date”).  Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to Section 2.5(c) hereof, that have been paid or accrued for the twenty (20) day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by the Subscriber shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment.

                      2.9           Buy-In.  In addition to any other rights available to the Subscriber, but without any duplicative recovery by the Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to the Subscriber the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Delivery Date and if after five (5) business days after the Delivery Date the Subscriber purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).  For example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of note principal and/or interest, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest.  The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.

2.10           Reservation. During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 150% of the amount of Common Stock issuable upon the full conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

2.11           Maximum Conversion

 
 

 


(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Conversion Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon conversion of this Note (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such HOlder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act, does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. By written notice to the Company, a Subscriber may waive the provisions of this Section 2.3(a) as to itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery thereof and such waiver shall have no effect on any other Subscriber.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Conversion Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon conversion of this Note (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act, does not exceed 9.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This provision may not be waived.

2.12           Short sales.  The Holder shall not sell short the common shares of the Company without first having sent a conversion request to the Company or having such shares available to cover such short sale prior to entering into such short sale.

FLINT TELECOM GROUP INC.

Amended and Restated 15% Convertible Debenture

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FLINT TELECOM GROUP INC., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower” or the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to Taconic Group LLC , a Florida limited liability company  (the “Holder”), or order, without demand, the sum of TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY Dollars ($25,750), with simple interest accruing at the rate described below, on February 17, 2013 (the "Maturity Date").

WHEREAS, the Holder has entered into that certain debt purchase agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B, whereby it purchased certain of the Company’s debt with an initial issue date of June 4, 2009.

WHEREAS, the Parties hereto are replacing the previous Note for the purposes of clarity and ease of administration and not with the intent of creating a new security.

 NOW THEREFORE, the following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I
GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1           Payments. The entire unpaid principal amount due under this Note (the “Principal”) shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Interest on this Note (the “Interest”) will be payable on the Maturity Date. Interest shall be payable in cash or, at the Holder’s option, in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock").

           Upon any conversion in part by the Holder in accordance with Article II, the Holder and the Borrower shall in good faith recalculate the outstanding principal balance . Upon any full conversion by the Holder in accordance with Article II of all of the Interest and the Principal due hereunder, all of the Borrower's payment obligations shall terminate. All payments in respect of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be applied in the following order: to accrued Interest, Principal, and charges and expenses owing under or in connection with this Note.

           If any payment of interest is paid in Common Stock, the number of shares issuable will be determined utilizing the conversion ratio as set forth in Article II. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s right to pay this Note, including any Interest due thereunder, in shares of Common Stock upon the Maturity Date is subject to the condition that: (i) the Common Stock is trading on the Pink Sheets, OTC Bulletin Board, American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq; and (ii) there is an effective Registration Statement on the Maturity Date or the shares are otherwise eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144.

 
 

 

 
 
1.2           Interest.  Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal to fifteen percent (15%) from the date Principal was advanced in connection with this Note.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed,  to the extent permitted by applicable  law.  Interest hereunder will be paid to the Holder or its assignee in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Borrower regarding registration and transfers of Notes  (the “Note Register”).  However, should the Company be in default of any provision herein, the interest rate shall increase to 24% per annum for that period when the such default is in effect including if the Company’s filings are not up-to-date.

1.3           Payment Grace Period. From and after the 10th day after an Event of Default under Section 3.1, the Interest Rate applicable to any unpaid amounts owed hereunder shall be increased to twenty-four percent (24%) per annum.

1.4           Conversion Privileges. The conversion privileges set forth in Article II shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the date hereof and until the Note is paid in full regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default. This Note shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless previously converted into Common Stock in accordance with Article II hereof; provided, that if an Event of Default has occurred, the Holder may elect to extend the Maturity Date by the amount of days of the pendency of the Event of Default.

1.5           Corporate Existence.  So long as this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly consummate any merger, reorganization, restructuring, reverse stock split, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or any similar transaction or related transactions (each such transaction, a “Fundamental Change”) wherein the Company is not the surviving entity unless, prior to the consummation a Fundamental Change, the Company shall have given the Holder not less than fourteen (14) days prior written notice to the Holder.  In any such case, the Company grant the Holder the right to put this Note to the Company up to the time of the effectiveness of the Fundamental Change at 125% of the then outstanding Principal plus any unpaid and accrued Interest.

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHTS AND REDEMPTION RIGHTS

The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal and accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock as set forth below.

2.1           Conversion into the Borrower's Common Stock.

(a)           The Holder shall have the right from and after the date of the issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and accrued Interest, at the election of the Holder (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a "Conversion Date") into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note (such shares, the “Conversion Shares”), or any shares of capital stock of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (the “Other Securities”), at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the "Conversion Price"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the Borrower of a completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within two (2) business days from the Conversion Date (such second day being the “Delivery Date”) that number of Conversion Shares for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the Borrower will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Note being converted in the manner provided in Section 1.1 through the Conversion Date directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal of this Note and accrued interest to be converted, by the Conversion Price.

 
 

 


(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the Conversion Price per share shall be 50% of the lowest closing price for the Company’s stock during the previous 20 trading days.

(c)            The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

                                A.           Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.; Reclassification.  In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall, subject to Section 1.5 hereof, effect a Fundamental Change, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Note, on the conversion hereof as provided in Article II, at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Change, shall receive, in lieu of the Conversion Shares (or Other Securities) issuable on such conversion prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation of a Fundamental Change if such Holder had so converted this Note, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 2.1(c)(E).

                                           If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

                                B.           Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of this Note after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Article II to a bank or trust company (a “Trustee”) having its principal office in New York, NY, as trustee for the Holder of the Notes.

                                C.           Continuation of Terms. Upon any Fundamental Change or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Article II, this Note shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the conversion of this Note after the consummation of such Fundamental Change or transfer or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Note as provided in Section 2.1(c)(E). In the event this Note does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transaction described in this Article II, then only in such event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of this Note be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated by Section 2.1(c)(B).

 
 

 


                                D.           Share Issuance.  If at any time this Note is outstanding the Company shall offer, issue or agree to issue any common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the then applicable Conversion Price in respect of the Shares, without the consent of the Holders of this Note, except with respect to Excepted Issuances, then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, additional shares of Common Stock to each Holder so that the average per share purchase price of the shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder (of only the Conversion Shares still owned by the Holder) is equal to such other lower price per share and the Conversion Price shall automatically be reduced to such other lower price per share.  For the purposes hereof, "Excepted Issuances" means any offer, issuance or agreement to issue any common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of corporation or other entity, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans, (iv) the conversion of any of the Notes, (v) the payment of any interest on the Notes, and (vi) as has been described in the Reports filed with the Commission or delivered to the Holder prior to the issuance of this Note (collectively, the “Excepted Issuances”).  The delivery to the Holder of the additional shares of Common Stock shall be not later than the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue additional shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock upon the issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or option and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Conversion Price in effect upon such issuance.  The rights of the Holder set forth in this Section 2.1 (c)(D), are in addition to any other rights the Holder has pursuant to this Note, any Transaction Document and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith.

                                E.           Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) subject to Section 1.5 hereof, combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Conversion 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 Conversion Price then in effect. The Conversion 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 2.1(c)(E). The number of Conversion Shares that the Holder of this Note shall thereafter, on the conversion hereof as provided in Article II, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of Conversion Shares that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 2.1(c)(E)) be issuable on such conversion by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Conversion Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 2.1(c)(E)) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such conversion.

 
 

 


                                F.           Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the conversion of the Notes, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Note and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares to be received upon conversion of this Note, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Note. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Note and any transfer agent of the Company.

2.2           Method of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the Subscription Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.

2.3           Issuance Below Par.  The Parties hereto agree that the Delaware General Corporations Law allows for the issuance of conversion shares under this section even if such conversion price is less than the shares’ stated par value, and that such shares shall be issued in response to a Conversion Request regardless of Conversion Price.

                      2.4           Escrow Shares.    The company shall deposit 2,500,000 shares of its common stock in Escrow to secure its obligations hereunder, such shares to be released upon breach hereof or returned upon complete payment hereof and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement  of even date herewith by and among the Company, the Subscriber, and Jonathan D. Leinwand, P.A. as the Escrow Agent.

                      2.5           Conversion of Note.

(a)           Upon the conversion of this Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that, unless waived by the Holder, the Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Conversion Shares provided the Conversion Shares are being sold pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the Conversion Shares or are otherwise exempt from registration.

(b)           Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert this Note or part thereof by telecopying an executed and completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is attached as Exhibit A to the Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or overnight courier or otherwise pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Note. The Subscriber will not be required to surrender this Note until this Note has been fully converted or satisfied, with each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (as defined above). The Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note to the Subscriber via express courier for receipt by such Subscriber on or before the Delivery Date (as defined above). In the event the Conversion Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery of the Conversion Shares must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber and the Subscriber has complied with all applicable securities laws in connection with the sale of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the prospectus delivery requirements.  A Note representing the balance of this Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to the Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided the Subscriber delivers the original Note to the Company.

 
 

 


(c)           The Company understands and agrees that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 2.5(a) hereof, after the Delivery Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Conversion Shares upon Conversion of the Note in the amount of $1,000 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Note principal amount being converted of the corresponding Conversion Shares which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to theHolder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion  by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

(d)           Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.

2.6           Injunction Posting of Bond. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert a Note or part thereof in whole or in part, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of such Note shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 120% of the amount of the Note, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
2.7           Optional Redemption.

(a)           Provided that the Company has a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock sufficient for the issuance of all Conversion Shares underlying the remaining principal amount of this Note, such Common Stock is listed or quoted (and is not suspended from trading) on the Principal Market and such shares of Common Stock are approved for listing on such Principal Market upon issuance if applicable, such Common Stock is registered for resale under the Registration Statement and the prospectus under such Registration Statement is available for the sale of all Registrable Securities held by the Subscriber, such issuance would be permitted in full without violating Section 2.3 herein or the rules or regulations of any trading market on which such Common Stock may be listed or quoted, and both immediately before and after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default under the Subscription Agreement or this Note shall or would exist, the Borrower will have the option of prepaying the outstanding principal amount of this Note ("Optional Redemption"), in whole or in part, together with interest accrued thereon, by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and interest that will accrue until the actual repayment date and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under the Note, the Subscription Agreement or any Transaction Document (the "Redemption Amount") on the day written notice of redemption (the "Notice of Redemption") is given to the Holder. The Notice of Redemption shall specify the date for such Optional Redemption (the "Redemption Payment Date"), which date shall be not less than five (5) business days after the date of the Notice of Redemption (the "Redemption Period"). A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which the Holder has a pending election to convert, or for Conversion Notices given by the Holder prior to the Redemption Payment Date. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount shall be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Borrower fails to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then (i) such Notice of Redemption will be null and void, (ii) Borrower will have no further right to deliver another Notice of Redemption, and (iii) Borrower’s failure may be deemed by Holder to be a non-curable Event of Default.

 
 

 


                      2.8           Mandatory Redemption at Subscriber’s Election.  In the event the Company is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares, or fails to timely deliver Shares on a Delivery Date, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in this Note or in the Subscription Agreement) or for any reason other than pursuant to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3 hereof, then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must pay to the Subscriber ten (10) business days after request by the Subscriber, at the Subscriber's election, a sum of money in immediately available terms equal to the greater of (i) the product of the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by the Subscriber multiplied by 120%, or (ii) the product of the number of Conversion Shares otherwise deliverable upon conversion of an amount of Note principal and/or interest designated by the Subscriber (with the date of giving of such designation being a “Deemed Conversion Date”) at the then Conversion Price that would be in effect on the Deemed Conversion Date multiplied by the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days preceding either: (1) the date the Company becomes obligated to pay the Mandatory Redemption Payment, or (2) the date on which the Mandatory Redemption Payment is made in full, whichever is greater, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any liquidated damages then payable (“Mandatory Redemption Payment”).  The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Subscriber on the same date as the Company Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) business days after request, whichever is sooner (“Mandatory Redemption Payment Date”).  Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to Section 2.5(c) hereof, that have been paid or accrued for the twenty (20) day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by the Subscriber shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment.

                      2.9           Buy-In.  In addition to any other rights available to the Subscriber, but without any duplicative recovery by the Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to the Subscriber the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Delivery Date and if after five (5) business days after the Delivery Date the Subscriber purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).  For example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of note principal and/or interest, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest.  The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.

2.10           Reservation. During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 150% of the amount of Common Stock issuable upon the full conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FLINT TELECOM GROUP, INC., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ASHER ENTERPRISES, INC., a Delaware corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $35,000.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on January 18, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise.  This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein with the prior written consent of the Holder which may be withheld for any reason or no reason. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”).  Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.  All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.  All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note.  Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date.  As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.  Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 
 

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I.                      CONVERSION RIGHTS

1.1 Conversion Right.  The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price  (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”).  The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Borrower’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Borrower’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

 
 

 



1.2 Conversion Price.

(a) Calculation of Conversion Price.  The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events).  The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 52% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 48%).  “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date.  “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) mutually acceptable to Borrower and Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.  If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes.  “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

(b) Conversion Price During Major Announcements.  Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the  “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section 1.2(a).  For purposes hereof,  “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.

 
 

 


1.3 Authorized Shares.  The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”).  The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 4(g) of the Purchase Agreement.  The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes.  The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.4 Method of Conversion.

(a) Mechanics of Conversion.  Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.

(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted.  The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following

 
 

 


 
conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(c) Payment of Taxes.  The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

(d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion.  Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (but in any event the fifth (5th) business day being hereinafter referred to as the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement.

(e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock.  Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion.  If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.  The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

 
 

 



(f) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer.  In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

(g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline.  Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock.  Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note.  The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder.  The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify.  Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.

1.5 Concerning the Shares.  The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless  (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of  counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).  Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 
 

 


 “NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold.  In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.6 Effect of Certain Events.

(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc.  At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either:  (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof.  “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

 
 

 



(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc.  If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof.  The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b).  The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution.  If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

(d) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance.  If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.

 
 

 

 
The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable).  No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share.  For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities.  No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(e) Purchase Rights.  If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 
 

 



(f) Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder of a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

1.7 Trading Market Limitations.  Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof.  Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued, if the Borrower fails to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its securities on the Borrower’s ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Amount, in lieu of any further right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.3 of the Note.

1.8 Status as Shareholder.  Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms  of this Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted.  In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

2.4 Sale of Assets.  So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business.  Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.

2.5 Advances and Loans.  So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, lend money, give credit or make advances to any person, firm, joint venture or corporation, including, without limitation, officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates of the Borrower, except loans, credits or advances (a) in existence or committed on the date hereof and which the Borrower has informed Holder in writing prior to the date hereof, (b) made in the ordinary course of business or (c) not in excess of $100,000.

limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. 

If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

ARTICLE IV.                                MISCELLANEOUS

4.1 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges.  All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

4.2 Notices.  All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by hand delivery, telegram, or facsimile, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice.  Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed effective (a) upon hand delivery or delivery by facsimile, with accurate confirmation generated by the transmitting facsimile machine, at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received) or (b) on the second business day following the date of mailing by express courier service, fully prepaid, addressed to such address, or upon actual receipt of such mailing, whichever shall first occur.  The addresses for such communications shall be:

4.5 Cost of Collection.  If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

4.6 Governing Law.  This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of Nassau.  The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens.  The Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs.  In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.   Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice

 
 

 

thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
 
4.7 Certain Amounts.  Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note.  The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

4.8 Purchase Agreement.  By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement.

4.9 Notice of Corporate Events.  Except as otherwise provided below, the Holder of this Note shall have no rights as a Holder of Common Stock unless and only to the extent that it converts this Note into Common Stock. The Borrower shall provide the Holder with prior notification of any meeting of the Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders).  In the event of any taking by the Borrower of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time.  The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.

4.10 Remedies.  The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

8. 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.

(C) It is the intent of the Payee and the Payor in the execution of this Note that the loan evidenced hereby comply with the restrictions of applicable state usury laws.  If, for any reason, it should be determined that any usury law is applicable (which the parties do not believe to be the case), the Payor and the Payee stipulate and agree that (i) the interest (or any other consideration pursuant to this Note) pursuant to this Note or in any other instrument evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced herein shall be limited to the maximum permitted by such law, (ii) none of the terms and provisions contained herein shall ever be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by any state laws which are applicable, (iii) the obligation of the Payor shall be reduced to the maximum rate permitted to be charged by any state laws which are applicable, and (iv) the Payee shall not collect monies which would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted to be charged by any such applicable state law.  Any sums collected which are in excess of such maximum rate shall be credited to the payment of any other sums due hereunder.  If no sums are due hereunder, then such excess shall be returned to the Payor.
 
3. Maturity/Prepayment.
 
(A) Subject to payment pursuant to Article “2” of this Note, all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on February 12, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”).
 
(B) This Note may be prepaid only pursuant to the following schedule: within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, this Note may be prepaid for 150% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. Between ninety one (91) and one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, this Note may be prepaid for 175% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. After one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date until February 12, 2012, this Note may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the Payee which consent shall be in the Payee’s sole and absolute discretion.
 
4. Conversion.
 

 
 

 


 
(A) The Payee may elect to convert all or part of the principal of this Convertible Note and any accrued and unpaid interest at any time or times before February 12, 2012. The conversion price shall be fifty (50%) percent of the lowest trading price during the seven (7) trading days prior to conversion, subject to adjustment pursuant to this Article “4” of this Note (the “Conversion Price”); provided, however, if an Event of Default pursuant to Article “9” of this Note occurs, this Note shall be subject to an interest rate of twenty (20%) percent and the Conversion Price formula shall be reduced to forty percent (40%) of the lowest trading price during the seven (7) trading days prior to conversion; provided, however, that in no event shall the Payee be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Payee and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Payor subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Payee and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso.
 
(i.) If the Payee does not provide written notice of its intention to convert some or the entire unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest due, Payor shall pay the amount due on the Maturity Date.
 
(ii.) If all or part of this Note is converted pursuant to Paragraph “A” of this Article “4” of this Note, the shares shall be delivered to the Payee within three (3) business days after the date upon which the Payor receives a Conversion Notice (such third (3rd) business day the “Conversion Share Due Date”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”; provided, however,  that a Conversion Notice delivered after 4:00 o’clock P.M. EST on any business day shall be deemed to be delivered on the next following business day. Delivery shall be made electronically via the DWAC/FAST system. If the Company is not approved for DWAC/FAST on the Conversion Share Due Date, a physical certificate representing the shares may be delivered to the Payee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” via overnight express mail.  If the Shares are not delivered to Tangiers or its broker within three (3) business days after the receipt of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall pay an additional amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per calendar day for each day that delivery of the unrestricted stock certificate is delayed; provided, however, that receipt of the restricted certificate after 1:00 p.m. local time shall be deemed to be receipt on the next following business day. The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Tangiers’ actual damages and costs resulting from the delay in making delivery of the Sharese and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs and do not constitute a penalty.
 

 
 

 


 
(iii.) If all or part of this Note is converted pursuant to Paragraph “A” of this Article “4” of this Note, all shares delivered to the Payee shall be free-trading if the shares are issued after six (6) months after the date of this Note.  If any shares delivered to the Payee are not free-trading, on November 12, 2012, at its own cost, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue an opinion letter to the Company’s transfer agent, or its successor (the “Transfer Agent”), that the said shares may be sold or transferred without restriction or limitation in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and direct the Transfer Agent to replace such shares with a certificate that does not contain a restrictive legend. After the receipt by the Transfer Agent of the certificate representing such shares from Tangiers (or its broker) requesting the issuance of an unrestricted certificate, the Company shall cooperate fully with the Transfer Agent. If the newly issued unrestricted stock is not delivered to Tangiers or its broker within three (3) business days after the receipt of the restricted shares, the Company shall pay an additional amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per calendar day for each day that delivery of the unrestricted stock certificate is delayed; provided, however, that receipt of the restricted certificate after 1:00 p.m. local time shall be deemed to be receipt on the next following business day. The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Tangiers’ actual damages and costs resulting from the delay in making delivery of the unrestricted stock certificate and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs and do not constitute a penalty.
 
(B) The Payor shall pay any and all stock transfer fees and the cost of any legal opinions needed.  No fractions of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued upon conversion, but the number of shares issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share, based upon the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Payee.  The date upon which a Conversion Notice is received by the Payor shall be deemed to be the date upon which the Payee has delivered the conversion notice duly executed, to the Payor; provided, however, that a Conversion Notice delivered after 1:00 o’clock P.M. on any business day shall be deemed to be delivered on the next following business day.  Upon receipt of the Shares for the full conversion and/or payment of this Note, the Payee shall deliver this Note to the Payor marked “cancelled.”
 
(C) If the Payor fails to deliver shares timely pursuant to this Article “4” of this Note, the Payor shall pay to the Payee an additional amount of shares equal in number to one (1%) percent of the number of shares of Common Stock required to be issued per calendar day for each calendar day that the shares are delayed after the Conversion Share Due Date.  The Payor acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Payee’s actual damages and costs resulting from the delay in delivering the Shares on or prior to the Conversion Share Due Date and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs and do not constitute a penalty.
 

 
 

 


 
(D) If, upon Tangiers’ request to convert all or part of this Note pursuant to this Article “4” of this Note, the shares are not available by reason of the Payor not having enough authorized and unissued shares to issue the shares to Tangiers, the Payor shall take all necessary action to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock to satisfy Tangiers’ request to convert all or part of this Note.
 
(E) In order to preserve the conversion rights of the Payee, the conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain events occur, including, but not limited to, any of the events that are set forth below:
 
(i.) The issuance of any previously authorized or newly authorized shares (common or any other securities convertible into common) of the Payor for less than the conversion price per share at the time of conversion pursuant to this Article “4” of this Note;
 
(ii.) A recapitalization of the outstanding shares of the Payor which has the effect of changing the percentage of shares which this Note may be converted into in relation to the total number of outstanding shares;
 
(iii.) The payment of any stock dividends;
 
(iv.) The distribution to any holders of shares of the Payor’s securities, evidences of indebtedness of the Payor or assets (excluding cash dividends paid from retained earnings);
 
(v.) The issuance after the date hereof of any stock options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares in the Payor at a price less than the current market value of such shares; and
 
(vi.) Any capital reorganization by the Payor, any reclassification or recapitalization of the Payor’s capital stock, or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Payor to or consolidation or merger of the Payor with or into any other Person.
 
(F) Upon the occurrence of any of the above events (any of such events is hereinafter referred to as a “Dilution Event”), then, in such event, the Payor will immediately take whatever measures are necessary to insure that the percentage interest in the Payor which the Note may be converted into would not be increased or reduced.  Any adjustment which is required by this Paragraph “F” of this Article “4” of this Note shall be deemed effective retroactive to the date of the Dilution Event.  The provisions of this Paragraph “F” of this Article “4” of this Note shall be applicable to any Dilution Event which occurs at any time after the date of this Note.  If any of the Dilution Events occur, the Payor will mail or cause to be mailed a notice pursuant to Paragraph “C” of Article “19,” to the Payee of this Note specifying the Dilution Event(s) which has occurred.
 
(G) As long as this Note is outstanding and no Event of Default has occurred, neither Tangiers nor its affiliates shall at any time engage in any short sale of, or sell put options or similar instruments with respect to, the Company’s stock.
 

 
 

 


 
5. Opinions.
 
(A) The Payor shall, at its cost, provide the appropriate opinion letters to be issued by the Payor’s counsel to Transfer Agent in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to §4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the transfer or sale of the shares, if such transfer or sale is permissible under Rule 144 and so long as Payee fills out and executes a Shareholders’ Representation Letter with each Notice of Conversion request, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 5(A). If the Payor fails to provide or approve legal opinions within five (5) business days after receipt of notice of said transfer or sale pursuant to this Article “5,” the Payor agrees to pay the Payee one thousand dollars ($1,000) per day for each day that said opinions or approvals are delayed.  The Payor acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Payee’s actual damages and costs resulting from the delay in providing opinions or approvals for said sale(s) of securities and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs and do not constitute a penalty.
 
(B) Upon execution of this Note, the Payor shall deliver to Payee the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”.
 
6. Registration.
 
 (A)           If the Payor shall at any time when Payee has not received a stock certificate evidencing the shares without a restrictive legend, seek to register or qualify any of its capital stock or the securities holdings of any of its controlling shareholders, on each such occasion it shall include all of the Payee’s shares pursuant to Article “4” of this Note in such registration or qualification at the Payor’s expense.  The Payor shall keep the registration effective until such time as the Payee has sold its shares.
 
(B)           All expenses in connection with preparing and filing any registration statement under Paragraph “A” of this Article “6” of this Note (and any registration or qualification under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of states in which the offering will be made under such registration statement) shall be borne in full by the Payor.
 
7. Affirmative Covenants of the Payor.
 
Unless and until this Note has been fully satisfied by payment or conversion, the Payor shall:
 
(A) Increase the number of shares of the Company if the shares are not available by reason of the Payor not having enough authorized and unissued shares to issue the shares to Tangiers upon Payee’s request to convert all or part of this Note pursuant to Article “4” of this Note.
 
(B) Use the loan proceeds for working capital of the Company, provided, however that the Payor shall not use any portion of the loan proceeds to pay any debts or compensation to the management of the Company.

5.9           The Purchaser agrees not to trade any of the Shares to any person or company before the date which is 6 months from the Closing Date.
