GLOBETEL COMMUNICATIONS CORP.

 

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.
