FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ELANDIA,
INC. , a Florida corporation (the “Maker”), with
its principal address at 1500 Cordova, Suite 312, Fort Lauderdale,
Florida 33316, unconditionally promises to pay to the order of
STANFORD INTERNATIONAL BANK LIMITED or its assigns (the
“Payee”), having an office at No. 11 Pavilion
Drive, St. John’s, Antigua, West Indies, the principal amount
of TWENTY FIVE MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100
($25,300,000.00) DOLLARS, or so much thereof as the Payee advances
to the Maker, pursuant hereto, together with interest on the unpaid
principal balance from time to time outstanding under this
promissory note (this “Note”), at the rate of ten
percent (10.00%) per annum, compounding on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed from the date
hereof through, until and including February 15, 2011 (the
“Maturity Date”) at which time the entire unpaid
principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest shall become
due and payable, if the same had not been converted in accordance
with the terms hereof. This Note is being issued pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms and conditions of that Convertible Note
Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith, between the Payee and
the Maker (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
The Maker also agrees as
follows:
|
|
1.
|
Payment of
Interest, Principal and Fees .
|
a. Interest . The first
interest payment on this Note (equivalent to 24 months of accrued
interest) shall be due and payable on the 24-month anniversary of
the date hereof. Thereafter, interest payments on this Note shall
be payable quarterly in arrears commencing on April 1, 2009
and on the first business day of each quarter thereafter until the
Maturity Date.
b. Principal . To the extent
not previously converted pursuant to the terms hereof, all
outstanding principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, shall be due and payable, and shall be paid, to the Payee
on the Maturity Date.
|
|
2.
|
Place and
Application of Payments; Prepayment .
|
a. All payments of interest and of
principal shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of
America in immediately available funds, without setoff,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind to the Payee’s address
above. Each payment hereunder shall first be applied to accrued and
unpaid interest and then in reduction of the outstanding principal
balance, unless other costs and charges are payable pursuant to the
terms of this Note, in which event, in Payee’s sole
discretion, such costs and charges shall first be paid. This Note
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with Florida law (the
“Applicable Law”).
b. This Note may be prepaid in whole
or in part, with 30 days prior written notice to the Payee, without
premium or penalty; provided, however, that upon receipt of such
notice of the Maker’s intent to prepay, the Payee shall have
the option, in its sole discretion, to convert all or any amounts
due hereunder prior to such prepayment (in accordance with the
terms hereof), in which case the Payee shall be granted a
reasonable amount of time to execute said conversion.
3. Use of Proceeds . All
amounts advanced hereunder shall be used by Maker solely for the
purposes set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
a. Conversion Price and
Conversion Shares . All amounts due hereunder, including
principal and any accrued and unpaid interest thereof, may be
converted at the option of the Payee into shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock of the Maker (the “Series A
Preferred Stock”) at the rate of $5.00 per share (the
“Conversion Price”). This initial Conversion Price
shall be subject to adjustment to offset the effect of stock
splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and pro rata
distributions of property or equity interests to the Maker’s
shareholders. The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into
which this Note may be converted (“Conversion Shares”)
shall be determined by dividing the aggregate principal amount,
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, by the Conversion
Price in effect at the time of such conversion.
b. Voluntary Conversion . Any
Payee of this Note has the right, at the Payee’s option, at
any time after the date hereof to convert this Note, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4(a) and 4(d), in whole or in
part, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series A
Preferred Stock.
c. Conversion Procedure . The
Payee shall give notice of its decision to exercise its right to
convert the Note or any part thereof by faxing an executed and
completed notice of conversion in the form attached (“Notice
of Conversion”) to the Maker via confirmed facsimile
transmission. The Payee will not be required to surrender the Note
until the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. Each date on
which a Notice of Conversion is faxed to the Maker in accordance
with the provisions of this Section shall be deemed a
“Conversion Date”.
d. Delivery of Stock
Certificates . As promptly as practical after the conversion,
the Maker will instruct or cause its transfer agent to deliver the
Series A Preferred Stock certificates representing the shares
issuable upon conversion of the Note to the Payee via express
courier for receipt by such Payee within three (3) business
days after receipt by the Maker of the Notice of Conversion (the
“Delivery Date”). A Note representing the balance of
any Note not so
2
converted will be provided to the Payee, if
requested by the Payee provided an original Note is delivered to
the Maker. To the extent that a Payee elects not to surrender a
Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Payee
indemnifies the Maker against any and all loss or damage
attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the
actual amount then due under the Note.

Adjustments
for Stock Splits and Subdivisions .
|
a. In the event the Maker should at
any time or from time to time after the date of issuance hereof fix
a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the
outstanding shares of common stock, or the issuance by
reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital
stock of the Maker or the determination of holders of common stock
entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of common stock or other securities or rights
convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive
directly or indirectly, additional shares of common stock
(hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock
Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such
holder for the additional shares of common stock or the Common
Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such
record date, (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or
subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of
this Note shall be appropriately decreased, as the case shall be,
so that the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note shall be increased in proportion to
such increase of outstanding shares.
b. If the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding any time after the date of issuance of the Note
is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the
conversion price of this Note shall be appropriately increased so
that the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable on
conversion hereof shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease
in outstanding shares.
c. If the Maker at any shall fix a
record date for the issuance of rights, options, warrants or other
securities to all the holders of its Common Stock entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase, convert to, exchange for or otherwise
acquire shares of Common Stock for no consideration or at a price
per share less than the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to such issuance or sale plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate consideration received by the Maker would
purchase at the Conversion Price, and the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance date plus the number of
additional shares of Common Stoc
