GLOBETEL COMMUNICATIONS

7% Convertible
Note
Due February __,
2009
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GLOBETEL COMMUNICATIONS
CORP., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “
Borrower ” or the “ Company ”),
hereby promises to pay to
_______________________________________
(the “ Holder ”) or order, without
demand, the sum of
__________________________________________________
Dollars ($ ___________________ ), with simple
interest accruing at the rate described below, on February
__, 2011 (the " Maturity Date ").
This Note has been entered into pursuant to the
terms of a subscription agreement between the Borrower and the
Holder, dated of even date herewith (the “ Subscription
Agreement ”), and shall be governed by the terms of such
Subscription Agreement. Unless otherwise separately defined herein,
all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning
as is set forth in the Subscription Agreement. 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 the Notes (the “
Interest ”) will be payable semi-annually commencing
on the date that shall be six (6) months from the date hereof (each
such date, a “ Semi-Annual Payment Date ”) as
further described on the payment schedule attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “ Payment Schedule
”). Interest shall be payable in cash or, at the Company's
option, in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.00001 per share (the " Common Stock "). Any payment made
on a Semi-Annual Payment Date is referred to herein as a “
Semi-Annual Payment .”
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 and the
amounts of the Semi-Annual Payments. Upon any full conversion by
the Holder in accordance with Article II of all of the Semi-Annual
Payments 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 the Notes,
including any Interest due thereunder, in shares of Common Stock on
each Semi-Annual Payment 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 such Semi-Annual Payment Date or the
shares are otherwise eligible for resale pursuant to Rule
144.
In the event a Holder converts any portion of
the principal amount of its Note into shares of Common Stock prior
to the date of the next Semi-Annual Payment, such Semi-Annual
Payment shall be reduced by the principal amount so
converted. In addition, if a Holder converts any portion
of its Note into shares of Common Stock prior to the date of the
next Semi-Annual Payment in an amount that is greater than the
amount of such Semi-Annual Payment and any accrued interest, the
excess over such Semi-Annual Payment will be credited against
future Semi-Annual Payments.
1.2
Interest . Interest shall accrue on the
outstanding principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal to
seven percent (7%) 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
”). In the event the Holder has elected to convert
Interest due hereunder into shares of Common Stock or the Company
has elected to make an Interest
payment hereunder in shares of Common Stock,
the number of shares of such Common Stock to be issued will be
calculated using a value of the Common Stock that shall
be its last sale price on the date immediately preceding the
Semi-Annual Payment Date. A number of shares of Common
Stock with a value equal to the amount
of Interest due shall be issued to the Holder
within five (5) days of the Semi-Annual Payment Date. No fractional
shares will be issued; therefore, in the event that the value of
the Common Stock per share does not equal the
total Interest due, the Company shall round up the
number of shares of Common Stock due.
1.3
Payment Grace Period . From and after the 10
th day after an Event of Default under Section 3.1,
the Interest Rate applicable to any unpaid amounts owed hereunder
shall be increased to sixteen percent (16%) 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. The 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 any of the Notes
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
”) unless, prior to the consummation a Fundamental Change,
the Company obtains the written consent of each of the
Holders. In any such case, the Company will (i) make
appropriate provision with respect to such holders' rights and
interests to ensure that the provisions of this Section 1.5 will
thereafter be applicable to the Notes, (ii) grant the Holders the
right to put the Notes to the Company at 115% of the then
outstanding Principal plus any unpaid and accrued Interest and
(iii) take any other action required under Section 2.1(c)
hereof.
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 B , Borrower shall issue and deliver to the
Holder within three (3) business days from the Conversion Date
(such third 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 the 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 $.105. However, if after 90
days from the date hereof the market price of the Company’s
common shares during the 90 day period has not closed at a bid
price at or above $.12 per share for 3 or more consecutive trading
days. In such instance then the Investors’s price per share
shall be equal to the average closing bid price for the last 30
trading days immediately prior to the 90 th day after the date of this addendum. Should the
price of the common shares be $.105 or higher on the 90
th day after the date of this addendum, then the
purchase price per share shall remain at $.105 per
share. Should the Market Price of the shares be $.105 or
higher on the 90 th day after the date of this addendum, but less
than $.125, then the Investor shall be entitled to an amount of
additional shares equal to 10% of the number of shares to which the
Investor is otherwise entitled.
(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 the Notes 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 the Notes be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated by
Section 2.1(c)(B).
D.
Share Issuance . If at any time Notes or the
Warrants are 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 Conversion Price in respect of the Shares,
without the consent of each Subscriber holding Notes and/or other
Securities, then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion,
additional shares of Common Stock to each Subscriber so that the
average per share purchase price of the shares of Common Stock
issued to the Subscriber (of only the Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares still owned by the Subscriber) is equal to such other lower
price per share and the Conversion Price shall automatically be
reduced to such other lower price per share. The average
Conversion Price of the Conversion Shares and average Warrant
Exercise Price in relation to the Warrant Shares shall be
calculated separately for the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares. The foregoing calculation and issuance shall be
made separately for Conversion Shares received upon conversion and
separately for Warrant Shares. The delivery to the
Subscriber 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. The Subscriber is granted the registration rights
described in Section 11 of the Subscription Agreement in relation
to such additional shares of Common Stock except that the Filing
Date and Effective Date with respect to such additional shares of
Common Stock shall be, respectively, the sixtieth (60th) and one
hundred and twentieth (120th) date after the closing date giving
rise to the requirement to issue the 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 Subscriber set forth in this
Section 2.1 (c)(D) are in addition to any other rights the
Subscriber has pursuant to this Note, the Subscription Agreement,
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
