ARTICLE I
CONTRACT RATE AND AMORTIZATION
1.1 Contract Rate. Subject to Sections 4.2 and 5.10, interest payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note (the “Principal Amount”) shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time (the “Prime Rate”), plus three and one-half percent (3.50%) (the “Contract Rate”). The Contract Rate shall be increased or decreased as the case may be for each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate in an amount equal to such increase or decrease in the Prime Rate; each change to be effective as of the day of the change in the Prime Rate. The Contract Rate shall not at any time be less than eleven percent (11.00%). Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on July 1, 2007, on the first business day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
1.2 Contract Rate Payments. The Contract Rate shall be calculated on the last business day of each calendar month hereafter (other than for increases or decreases in the Prime Rate which shall be calculated and become effective in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1) until the Maturity Date and shall be subject to adjustment as set forth herein.
1.3 Principal Payments. Amortizing payments of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Note at any time (the “Principal Amount”) shall be made, jointly and severally, by the Companies on July 1, 2008 and on the first business day of each succeeding month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date (each, an “Amortization Date”). Subject to Article III below, commencing on the first Amortization Date, the Companies shall make, jointly and severally, monthly payments to the Holder on each Amortization Date, each such payment in the amount of $229,166.67 together with any accrued and unpaid interest on such portion of the Principal Amount plus any and all other unpaid amounts which are then owing under this Note, the Security Agreement and/or any other Ancillary Agreement (collectively, the “Monthly Amount”). Any outstanding Principal Amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest and any and all other unpaid amounts which are then owing by the Companies to the Holder under this Note, the Security Agreement and/or any other Ancillary Agreement shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION
2.1 Payment of Monthly Amount.
(a) Payment in Cash or Common Stock. If the Monthly Amount (or a portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the Monthly Amount may be converted into shares of common stock of Elandia (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to Section 3.2) is required to be paid in cash pursuant to Section 2.1(b), then the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay the Holder an amount in cash equal to 100% of the Monthly Amount (or such portion of such Monthly Amount to be paid in cash) due and owing to the Holder on the Amortization Date. If the Monthly Amount (or a portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the Monthly Amount may be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2) is required to be paid in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the number of such shares to be issued by Elandia to the Holder on such Amortization Date (in respect of such portion of the Monthly Amount converted into shares of Elandia pursuant to Section 2.1(b)), shall be the number determined by dividing (i) the portion of the Monthly Amount converted into shares of Common Stock, by (ii) the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.6 hereof, the “Fixed Conversion Price” means $5.00, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Note.
(b) Monthly Amount Conversion Conditions. Subject to Sections 2.1(a), 2.2, and 3.2 hereof, the Holder shall convert into shares of Common Stock all or a portion of the Monthly Amount due on each Amortization Date if the following conditions (the “Conversion Criteria”) are satisfied: (i) the Common Stock is publicly traded, (ii) the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding such Amortization Date shall be greater than or equal to 115% of the Fixed Conversion Price and (iii) the amount of such conversion does not exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the period of twenty-two (22) trading days immediately preceding and including such Amortization Date. If subsection (ii) of the Conversion Criteria is met
2
but subsection (iii) of the Conversion Criteria is not met as to the entire Monthly Amount, the Holder shall convert only such part of the Monthly Amount that meets subsection (iii) of the Conversion Criteria. Any portion of the Monthly Amount due on an Amortization Date that the Holder has not been able to convert into shares of Common Stock due to the failure to meet the Conversion Criteria, shall be paid in cash by the Companies, jointly and severally, at the rate of 100% of the Monthly Amount otherwise due on such Amortization Date, within three (3) business days of such Amortization Date.
2.2 No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Companies’ obligations to the Holder may be converted into Common Stock unless (a) either (i) an effective current Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with satisfaction of such obligations exists or (ii) an exemption from registration for resale of the Common Stock to be issued in connection with such payment is available pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act and (b) no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) exists and is continuing, unless such Event of Default is cured within any applicable cure period or otherwise waived in writing by the Holder.
2.3 Optional Redemption in Cash. The Companies may prepay this Note (“Optional Redemption”) by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the Principal Amount outstanding at such time together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note, the Security Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement (the “Redemption Amount”) outstanding on the Redemption Payment Date (as defined below). The Companies shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”) specifying the date for such Optional Redemption (the “Redemption Payment Date”), which date shall be ten (10) 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 previously delivered a Notice of Conversion (as hereinafter defined) or for conversions elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to Article III during the Redemption Period. The Redemption Amount shall be determined as if the Holder’s conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount must be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Companies fail to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.
ARTICLE III
HOLDER’S CONVERSION RIGHTS
3.1 Optional Conversion. Subject to the terms set forth in this Article III, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the issued and outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest and fees due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as, the “Conversion Shares.”
3
3.2 Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, 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 this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion 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 any amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. For purposes of the second preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such sentence. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) business day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of any given date. The limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the Holder upon provision of no less than sixty-one (61) days prior written notice to the Company Agent and Elandia and (y) shall automatically become null and void (i) following notice to the Company Agent and Elandia upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) upon receipt by the Holder of a Notice of Redemption, except that at no time shall Elandia be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Security Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which Elandia may issue pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Security Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement without violating the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that Elandia obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules or regulations of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount.
3.3 Mechanics of Xxxxxx’s Conversion. In the event that the Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (appropriate completed) (“Notice of Conversion”) to Elandia and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees that are being converted. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to Company Agent and Elandia within two (2) business days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to Elandia in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, Xxxxxxx will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to Elandia of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit
4
the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by Xxxxxxx of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by Xxxxxxx of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion Shares, unless the Holder provides Elandia written instructions to the contrary.
3.4 Late Payments. The Companies understand that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Holder may have under this Note, applicable law or otherwise, the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay late payments to the Holder for any late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of this Note, in the amount equal to $500 per business day after the Delivery Date. The Companies shall, jointly and severally, make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
3.5 Conversion Mechanics. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. In the event of any conversions of a portion of the outstanding Principal Amount pursuant to this Article III, such conversions shall be deemed to constitute conversions of the outstanding Principal Amount applying to Monthly Amounts for the remaining Amortization Dates in chronological order.
3.6 Adjustment Provisions. The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events during the period that this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
(a) Reclassification. If Elandia 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, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount 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 (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after, such reclassification or other change at the sole election of the Holder.
(b) Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by Elandia in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total
5
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
3.7 Reservation of Shares. During the period the conversion right exists, Elandia will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Conversion Shares upon the full conversion of this Note. Elandia represents that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Elandia 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 the Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note.
3.8 Registration Rights. The Holder has been granted registration rights with respect to the Conversion Shares as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
3.9 Issuance of New Note. Upon any 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 Companies and Elandia to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid. Subject to the provisions of Article IV of this Note, neither Elandia nor the Companies shall pay any costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Note.
ARTICLE IV
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
4.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Security Agreement shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) hereunder:
4.2 Default Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Company shall, jointly and severally, pay additional interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note in an amount equal to two percent (2%) per month, and all outstanding Obligations, including unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest at such additional interest rate from the date of such Event of Default until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived.
4.3 Default Payment. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Holder, at its option, may demand repayment in full of the Obligations and/or may elect, in addition to all rights and remedies of the Holder under the Security Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements and all obligations and liabilities of the Companies under the Security Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements, to require the Companies, jointly and severally, to make a Default Payment (“Default Payment”). The Default Payment shall be one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, all other fees then remaining unpaid, and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Default Payment shall be applied first to any fees due and payable to the Holder pursuant to the Notes, the Security Agreement, and/or the Ancillary Agreements, then to accrued and unpaid interest due on the Notes, the Security Agreement and then to the outstanding
6
principal balance of the Notes. The Default Payment shall be due and payable immediately on the date that the Holder has demanded payment of the Default Payment pursuant to this Section 4.3.
