To i2 Telecom International, Inc.:
By completing and delivering this Letter of Transmittal, I hereby tender to i2 Telecom International, Inc. (“i2 Telecom”) the number of eligible warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of i2 Telecom as indicated on the second page hereof in exchange for (i) unregistered, shares of Common Stock and/or (ii) repricing of the exercise price of the eligible warrants upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange Warrants for Shares of Common Stock or For Repricing dated July 1, 2009 (the “Offer to Exchange”), receipt of which I hereby acknowledge, and this Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the “Offer”).
Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for exchange of the eligible warrants tendered herewith in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), (i) if I have elected to tender my eligible warrants for shares as indicated on the second page hereof then I hereby sell, assign and transfer to, or upon the order of, i2 Telecom, all right, title and interest in and to all the eligible warrants that are being tendered hereby, and (ii) if I have elected to tender my eligible warrants for repricing as indicated on the second page hereof then I hereby understand that those warrants will remain the same other than the exercise price, which will become $0.50 per share. I hereby acknowledge that if I tender all of my eligible warrants for shares, these warrants will be canceled and forfeited upon acceptance by i2 Telecom. Further, I hereby acknowledge that if I tender less than all of my eligible warrants for shares or I tender my warrants for repricing, this Letter of Transmittal constitutes written notice under my warrant agreement(s) for the number of eligible warrants I am hereby tendering for shares or an amendment to change the exercise price to $0.50 per share. The remaining eligible warrants that I do not tender will continue to be subject to the applicable warrant agreement(s). I will receive a stock certificate for the shares of restricted Common Stock being issued to me in exchange for the eligible warrants. I acknowledge that i2 Telecom has advised me to consult with my own personal advisors as to the consequences of participating or not participating in the Offer.
Except by delivery of a Withdrawal Letter prior to the expiration of the Offer as stated in the Offer to Exchange, this tender is irrevocable.
By execution hereof, I acknowledge and agree that:
1. | tendering my eligible warrants pursuant to the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Exchange and the instructions hereto will constitute my acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Offer; |
2. | i2 Telecom’s acceptance for exchange of eligible warrants tendered pursuant to the Offer will constitute a binding agreement between i2 Telecom and me upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer; |
3. | all information I provide in the Letter of Transmittal is being given with my consent for the express purpose of participating in the Offer and i2 Telecom may share any such information with third parties to the extent necessary to effect my participation in the Offer, including, without limitation, the grant of shares to me in exchange for my tendered eligible warrants; |
4. | the Offer is subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Exchange; |
5. | i2 Telecom may amend the Offer at any time and, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 of the Offer to Exchange, i2 Telecom may terminate the Offer and, in any such event, if the eligible warrants tendered herewith are not accepted for exchange, they will be retained by me; |
6. | my eligible warrants will only be accepted for exchange if they (i) are properly elected for exchange hereunder, (ii) are still outstanding and have not been exercised and have not expired or otherwise |
terminated when the Offer expires on the Offer expiration date, expected to be July 31, 2009, unless extended; and (iii) I have not validly withdrawn my tender of eligible warrants before the Offer expires;
7. | if I am tendering my eligible warrants for repricing of the exercise price, then this Letter of Transmittal acts as an amendment to change the exercise price of the warrants to $0.50 per share; and |
8. | if I currently hold registration rights with respect to the shares underlying my eligible warrants and I am electing to exchange any of my warrants for shares, then my registration rights will terminate with respect to those shares. |
Further, I hereby represent and warrant to i2 Telecom the following:
1. | I have all requisite legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal, and to carry out and perform my obligations under the terms of this Letter of Transmittal; |
2. | I have full power and authority to tender the eligible warrants tendered herewith and that, when and to the extent the same are accepted for exchange by i2 Telecom, such warrants will be free and clear of all security interests, liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof, and the same will not be subject to any adverse claims. No claim has been asserted by any person to the ownership of any of the eligible warrants; |
3. | I will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by i2 Telecom to be necessary or desirable to the warrants tendered; |
4. | this Letter of Transmittal constitutes a valid and binding obligation, enforceable against me in accordance with its terms, except as provided herein if I later withdraw my tender of eligible warrants by properly executing and sending to you a Withdrawal Letter; |
5. | no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on my part is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Letter of Transmittal; |
6. | the execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Letter of Transmittal, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or material contract or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of my assets; |
7. | I understand that the shares of Common Stock which I will receive upon tender of my eligible warrants for shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933. I understand that the shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws. I understand that the shares shall bear the following legend: |
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”
; and
8. | I understand that the public trading price of i2 Telecom Common Stock will vary from time to time during the Offer period and after the Offer expires at 5:00 P.M., Atlanta time, on July 31, 2009 (or such later date and time to which i2 Telecom extends the offer), such that the public trading price of i2 Telecom Common Stock could increase at some time during the Offer period or after the date my tendered eligible warrants are canceled pursuant to the Offer resulting in my financial position being less advantageous than if I had not accepted the Offer. By tendering the eligible warrants, I agree to hold i2 Telecom harmless for any actual or perceived loss suffered by me as a result of the variance in the public trading price of i2 Telecom Common Stock during the Offer period and after expiration of the Offer; |
The Offer is not being made to, nor will any tender of eligible warrants be accepted from or on behalf of, eligible warrant holders in any jurisdiction in which the making of this Offer or the acceptance of any tender of eligible warrants would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.
