Exhibit 10.51
AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to the Convertible Promissory Note (this "Amendment") is executed as of April 12, 2013, by Epazz, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Maker”); and ASHER ENTERPRISES, INC., a Delaware corporation, or its assigns ("Holder") to amend the Convertible Promissory Note dated December 12, 2012 between those parties (the "Note").
The Maker and the Holder desire to amend the Note and further agree as follows:
1. Capitalized Terms. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, all capitalized terms used in this Amendment have meanings ascribed to them in the Note and those definitions are incorporated by reference into this Note.
2. Section 1.2(a) of the Note shall be deleted and the following shall be substituted therefore:
Calculation of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be the greater of: (i) the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) and (ii) the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject, in each case, to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 41% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein)(representing a discount rate of 59%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ninety (90) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) mutually acceptable to Borrower and Holder and hereafter designated by Holders of a majority in interest of the Notes and the Borrower or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the OTCBB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. “Fixed Conversion Price” shall mean $0.00009.
