This FIRST AMENDMENT dated

certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) by and between Flint
Telecom Group, Inc. (“Flint”), Flint Acquisition Corps. (A-E), and/or

CHVC and collectively referred to as the “Targets”; and China Voice Holding
Corp., A Nevada Corporation (“CHVC”) dated January 29,
2009.
Unless
otherwise indicated, terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall
have the same meanings herein as in the Agreement.
Effective
as of March 16, 2009, the parties hereto agree to delete the following
provisions:
Section
7.2(d)(v):
“Agree to
a reduction of Merger Stock in the event of a failure by the Targets as a group
to achieve minimum sales and gross profits percentage levels for the period from
March 1, 2009 through August 31, 2009. The minimum levels shall equal 85% of the
sales and gross profits percentage reported by the Targets as a group for the
quarter ending September 30, 2008, annualized over a six month period (“Minimum
Levels”). In the event that the gross revenue and gross profit percentage
achieved by the Targets as a group during the period from March 1, 2009 through
August 31, 2009 are below the Minimum Levels and the decrease in gross revenue
and gross profit percentage was not caused by actions of Parent or its
affiliates or employees, then the Merger Stock shall be reduced by a percentage
equal to the average of the percentage ratios of the short-falls in sales and
gross profit percentage to the Minimum Levels.”
Section
7.2(d)(vi):
“Shareholders
shall establish an escrow account pursuant to section 9.14 to be held against
any reduction of Merger Stock under section 7.2 (d) (v) and any other damages
which may arise under section 7.2 (d).”
Additionally,
the following provision shall be amended and restated to reflect a reduced
escrow holding period as hereinafter provided:
Section
9.14(g):
Parent’s Right of
Offset. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, Parent may withhold and set off against the merger
consideration otherwise due to the Shareholder thirty percent (30%)
of the Merger Stock, to be held in an escrow account at the Effective Date until
March 16, 2009. The Parent may withhold and set off against these amounts as to
which the Targets or the Shareholder are obligated to pay Parent, Merger Subs or
a third party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (the “Set Off
Rights”). This shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies
the Parent may have.”
Effective
as of April 24, 2009, the following provision shall be amended and restated as
hereinafter provided, such that all shares of Targets’ Common Stock is hereby
converted into the right to receive:
Section
1.6(b)(i): a cash payment, paid to Shareholder, at the Closing Date equal to
$500,000.00 and $200,000 paid on March 16, 2009. In addition to the
aforementioned amounts already paid, Parent shall issue to Shareholder 800,000
shares ($800,000 issue price) of Series C preferred stock, redeemable through
the following payment schedule: $275,000 in May of 2009, with the remaining
$525,000 redeemable in five equal monthly instalment payments of $105,000 each,
starting on July 15, 2009. Alternatively, should Parent close on new funding
from a third party, the remaining $525,000 shall be redeemed through one lump
sum payment, up to a maximum of twenty five percent (25%) of whatever net amount
Parent actually receives.
The
obligation to redeem the preferred stock shall be secured by the capital stock
of the Targets. Notwithstanding, Shareholder agrees to subordinate its security
interest in the Targets to any future third party funding closed by Parent, as
required by Parent and approved by Shareholder, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld.
Finally,
if Parent fails to fully perform under the amended Section 1.6(b)(i), as stated
above, Parent shall be considered in default of the Agreement, but only after
the defaulting Party fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days. Upon
default, Section 7.2(d)(iv) shall be deleted and no longer enforceable against
the Targets or Shareholder.
Except as
herein modified, all the terms and conditions of the above referenced Agreement,
Schedules and Exhibits shall remain in full force and effect. In the
event of any conflict between the Amendment and the Agreement, the provisions of
this Amendment shall prevail.
The
parties hereby agree that signatures transmitted and received via facsimile or
other electronic means shall be treated for all purposes of this Amendment as
original signatures and shall be deemed valid, binding and enforceable by and
against both parties.
ALL
PARTIES HERETO REPRESENT THAT THEY HAVE READ THIS AMENDMENT, UNDERSTAND IT,
AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS STATED HEREIN, AND ACKNOWLEDGE
RECEIPT OF A SIGNED, TRUE AND EXACT COPY OF THIS AMENDMENT.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has caused this Amendment to be executed on
its behalf by its duly authorized officers as of the day and year first written
above.
