CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

US$632,035   June 28, 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Single Touch Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Obligor”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Activate, Inc., 2235 Carson St., Suite 2202, Carson City, NV 89706 (the “Holder”), the principal sum of Six Hundred Thirty Two Thousand Thirty Five Dollars ($632,035) payable as set forth below. The Obligor also promises to pay to the order of the Holder interest on the principal amount hereof at a rate of 1% per annum, which interest shall be payable monthly. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the year of 365 days and for the number of days actually elapsed. The payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be made in coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment shall be legal tender therein for the payment of public and private debts.

This Note shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

1. Payments. Subject to Section 2 hereof, all principal shall be due on demand of the Holder or hereunder in one (1) installment on July 27, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”). In the event that any payment to be made hereunder shall be or become due on Saturday, Sunday or any other day which is a legal bank holiday under the laws of the Unites States, such payment shall be or become due on the next succeeding business day.

2. Prepayment. The Obligor and the Holder understand and agree that the principal amount of this Note may not be prepaid by the Obligor prior to the maturity date without the express written consent of the Holder. Such consent shall be at the sole discretion of the holder.

 

  3. Conversion.

(a) This Note, excluding accrued interest, shall be convertible into shares of the Obligor’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a conversion price of Thirty Seven Cents ($0.37) per share (the “Conversion Price”) at the option of the Holder in whole or in part at any time. The Holder shall effect conversions by surrendering to the Company the Note and by delivering to the Company a conversion notice in the form


attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Holder Conversion Notice”). Each Holder Conversion Notice shall specify the amount of principal and interest to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Holder Conversion Notice by facsimile (the “Conversion Date”). If the Holder is converting less than the entire principal and interest amount of this Note, then the Obligor shall deliver to the Holder a new Note for such principal and interest amount as has not been converted with two (2) business days of the Conversion Date. Each Holder Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable.

(b) Not later than five (5) business days after the Conversion Date, the Obligor will deliver, or will cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note, including certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock as equals the accrued but unpaid interest thereon divided by the Conversion Price.

(c) Certificates representing shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon a conversion hereunder may bear restrictive legends and may be subject to trading restrictions on the stock transfer books of the Obligor. The Obligor shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note until the Note is delivered for conversion to the Company, or until the Holder notifies the Obligor that this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a bond and other supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Obligor (or other adequate security reasonably acceptable to the Obligor).

(d) The Obligor covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, or its authorized and issued Common Stock held in its treasury, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the principal amount of this Note. The Obligor covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issuance thereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and nonassessable.

(e) Upon a conversion hereunder the Obligor shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may either make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.

(f) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Obligor shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the original Holder.
