PURCHASE AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.1

This PURCHASE AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into March 21, 2011, by and between St. Xxxxxx Investments, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“SGI”), and Helix Wind, Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).

A. SGI is the holder of certain Convertible Promissory Notes issued by the Company to SGI (the “Original Notes”), each of which Original Notes is listed on Exhibit A attached hereto.

B. The Original Notes are currently in default and collectively have an outstanding balance equal to $1,176,347.27 (the “Original Notes Outstanding Balance”) as of the date hereof. As a result of such defaults, each Original Note is accruing interest at the rate of 15% per annum.

C. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, SGI and the Company desire to exchange the Original Notes for a new Secured Convertible Promissory Note with an original principal balance equal to the Original Notes Outstanding Balance and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Note”) in consideration of the termination of the Original Notes and the Cash Purchase Price (as defined below) (the “Purchase and Exchange”).

D. The Note shall be secured by all of the Company’s assets pursuant to a Security Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Company Security Agreement”). The Note shall further be guarantied by Helix Wind, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Helix Wind”), pursuant to a Guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Guaranty”), which Guaranty shall be secured by a Security Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Subsidiary Security Agreement,” and together with the Company Security Agreement, the “Security Agreements”).

E. As consideration for the Purchase and Exchange, the Company’s agreement to secure the Note with the Company Security Agreement, and the Company’s Agreement to cause Helix Wind to guaranty the Note with the Guaranty, SGI shall pay to the Company the sum of $40,000.00 (which sum shall not be added to the balance of the Note) (the “Cash Purchase Price”), all existing defaults under the Original Notes shall be waived and all covenants thereunder shall be reset according to the terms hereof, and the Note shall have certain terms that are more favorable to the Company than the current terms of the Original Note, including a two-year term and an interest rate of 6% per annum.

F. Pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and in consideration of the Cash Purchase Price, the Purchase and Exchange and the modifications to the terms of the Note, SGI and the Company agree to exchange the Original Notes for the Note, which Note shall be convertible into common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company as set forth therein (the “Conversion Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Issuance of Note. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, SGI shall exchange the Original Notes with the Company and shall also deliver to the Company the Cash Purchase Price for the Note. Upon surrender, each Original Note shall be cancelled and the amount owed to SGI in consideration of such exchange and purchase shall hereafter be evidenced by the Note.

2. Closing Date; Deliveries. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties (or such other date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and SGI, the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, prior to or contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement:

(a) SGI shall deliver the Original Notes to the Company for cancellation along with the Cash Purchase Price in immediately available funds; and

(b) the Company shall issue the Note, fully executed, to SGI, deliver to SGI an executed copy of the Company Security Agreement, cause Helix Wind to deliver to SGI an executed copy of the Guaranty and the Subsidiary Security Agreement, and cause Xxxxx Xxxxxxx to execute and deliver the Officer’s Certificate (as defined below).

3. SGI’s Representations and Warranties. SGI represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a) Investment Purpose. SGI is acquiring the Note and the underlying Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); provided, however, that by making the representations herein, SGI reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act.

(b) Accredited Investor Status. SGI is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

(c) Transfer or Resale. SGI understands that: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) SGI shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements, or (C) SGI provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 in each case following the applicable holding period set forth therein (which assurance may be provided in the form of an opinion letter to be drafted by the Company’s counsel); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person (defined below) through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

(d) Legends. SGI agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 3(d), of a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth above), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such security pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale without any restrictions under Rule 144, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). SGI agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 3(d) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that SGI will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(e) Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of SGI and is a valid and binding agreement of SGI enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

(f) Brokers. There are no brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or similar fees or commissions payable by SGI in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based on any agreement, arrangement or understanding with SGI or any action taken by SGI.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and Helix Wind, as applicable, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities and reservation for issuance and issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of any certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, any certificate of designations or other constituent documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or bylaws of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.’s OTC Bulletin Board) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) SEC Documents: Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof or amended after the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Document prior to the expiration of any such extension. The Company has delivered to SGI or its representative, or made available through the SEC’s website at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx, true and complete copies of the SEC Documents. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to SGI which is not included in the SEC Documents, including, without limitation, information referred to in Section 4(i) of this Agreement, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made and not misleading.

(h) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act.

(i) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company’s Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to terminate, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company has not, in the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Primary Market (defined below) on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Primary Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

5. Covenants.

(a) Reporting Status. With a view to making available to SGI or its assignees the benefits of Rule 144 or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit SGI or its assignees to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, and as a material inducement to SGI’s purchase of the Securities, the Company represents, warrants and covenants to the following:

(i) The Company’s Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

(ii) The Company is not and for at least the last 12 months prior to the date hereof has not been a “shell company,” as defined in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of Rule 144 or Rule 12(b)(2) of the Exchange Act.

(iii) The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months prior to the date hereof (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports), other than Form 8-K reports.

(iv) From the date hereof until six (6) months after the date that all the Securities either have been sold by SGI, or may permanently be sold by SGI without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Registration Period”), the Company shall file with the SEC in a timely manner all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and such reports shall conform to the requirement of the Exchange Act and the SEC for filing thereunder.

(v) The Company shall furnish to SGI so long as SGI owns Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit SGI to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

(b) Issuer Status. During the Registration Period the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination.

(c) Reservation of Shares. Within 45 days of the date hereof, the Company shall reserve for issuance to SGI the number of shares of its Common Stock that shall be necessary to effect the full conversion of the Note multiplied by 1.5, for issuance upon conversions of the Note, any other convertible promissory note held by SGI, or any future convertible promissory note issued to or acquired by SGI (the “Share Reserve”). Additionally, the Company covenants that within 45 days of the date hereof it shall have increased its authorized shares to not less than 5,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Upon such increase in authorized shares, the Company represents that it shall have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to create the Share Reserve after considering all other commitments that may require the issuance of Common Stock. The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the full conversion of the Note or any future convertible promissory note in favor of SGI. If at any time the Share Reserve is insufficient to effect the full conversion of the Note, the Company shall increase the Share Reserve accordingly. If the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of the shareholders within thirty (30) days of such occurrence, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized. The Company’s management shall recommend to the shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized. Management shall also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

(d) Listings or Quotation. The Company’s Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on any of (a) NYSE Amex, (b) the New York Stock Exchange, (c) the Nasdaq Global Market, (d) the Nasdaq Capital Market, or (e) the OTCQX or OTCQB Bulletin Board (each, a “Primary Market”). The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Securities upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents.

(e) Filings. During the Registration Period, the Company shall timely make all filings required to be made by it under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, Rule 144 or any United States state securities laws and regulations thereof applicable to the Company or by the rules and regulations of the Primary Market, and such reports shall conform to the requirement of the applicable laws, regulations and government agencies, and, unless such filing is publicly available on the SEC’s XXXXX system (via the SEC’s web site at no additional charge), the Company shall provide, upon written request, a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing.

(f) Corporate Existence. So long as any obligations remain outstanding under the Note, 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, or cause Helix Wind to undertake any such transaction (each such transaction, an “Organizational Change”) unless, prior to the consummation of an Organizational Change, the Company obtains the written consent of SGI. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision with respect to SGI’s rights and interests to insure that the provisions of this Section 5(e) will thereafter be applicable to the Note.

(g) Acknowledgement of Obligations. The Company hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that the obligations of the Company to SGI under the Original Notes, and immediately after the exchange of the Original Notes for the Note as contemplated hereunder, under the Note, are unconditionally owing by the Company to SGI without offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description whatsoever.

(j) DWAC Eligibility. The Company shall take all action necessary to achieve DWAC eligibility no later than the date that is 90 days from the Closing Date. Thereafter, for so long as any portion of any of the Note remains outstanding, the Company shall use best efforts to maintain such DWAC eligibility.

(k) Ratification of Prior Debt. The Company hereby ratifies the validity of all prior indebtedness of the Company held by SGI and/or its affiliates and affirms that such debt (other than the Original Notes) shall continue to be a valid and outstanding obligation of the Company after the Closing Date.

(l) Partition of the Note. Upon a request by SGI, the Company shall fully cooperate with SGI to partition the Note, including issuing new secured convertible promissory notes to any assignee, purchaser or transferee of the Note from SGI as may be reasonably requested by SGI.

(iv) Enter into any financing transaction (including issuing promissory notes or selling equity, warrants, convertible notes or other instruments convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, equity or equity-like instruments to any person or entity) without giving SGI at least ten (10) days notice of such prospective financing transaction (the “Transaction Notice”) and the pre-emptive right to provide such financing on substantially the same terms upon notice thereof to the Company within five (5) days of receiving the Transaction Notice.

(k) Ownership Limitation. If at any time after the Closing, SGI shall or would receive shares of the Company’s Common Stock in payment of interest or principal under the Note or upon conversion of the Note, so that SGI would, together with other shares of Common Stock held by it or its affiliates, own or beneficially own by virtue of such action or receipt of additional shares of Common Stock a number of shares exceeding 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “9.99% Cap”), the Company shall not be obligated and shall not issue to SGI shares of its Common Stock which would exceed the 9.99% Cap, but only until such time as the 9.99% Cap would no longer be exceeded by any such receipt of shares of Common Stock by SGI. The foregoing limitations are enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable.

(l) Specific Performance. The Company and SGI acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties (including any subsequent holder of the Note) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without (except as specified below) the necessity to post a bond, to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity; provided, however that the Company, upon receipt of a notice of conversion of the Note, may not fail or refuse to deliver the stock certificates and the related legal opinions, if any, or if there is a claim for a breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Company shall not raise as a legal defense, any claim that SGI or anyone associated or affiliated with SGI or its assigns has violated any provision hereof or any other Transaction Document or has engaged in any violation of law or any other claim or defense, unless the Company has first posted a bond for one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount and, if relevant, then obtained a court order specifically directing it not to deliver such stock certificates to SGI. The proceeds of such bond shall be payable to SGI or any other holder of the Note to the extent that SGI or such other holder obtains judgment or its defense is recognized. Such bond shall remain in effect until the completion of the relevant proceeding and, if SGI or the applicable holder appeals therefrom, until all such appeals are exhausted. This provision is deemed incorporated by reference into each of the Transaction Documents as if set forth therein in full.
