Item 1.01    Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective as of March 21, 2011, the Company executed a Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “First Exchange Agreement”) with St. George Investments, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Investor”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to exchange 4 outstanding convertible promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1,176,347.27 for a secured convertible promissory note in the amount of $1,176,347.27 (the “First Note”), and the Company executed a Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Second Exchange Agreement”) with the Investor pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to exchange 14 outstanding convertible promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1,430,441.91 for a secured convertible promissory note in the amount of $1,430,441.91 (the “Second Note”).  The First Note and Second Note are both secured by all of the assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement for each of the First Note and Second Note.  The Company’s obligations under the First Note and Second Note are also guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiary, Helix Wind, Inc., pursuant to the terms of a Guaranty for each of the First Note and Second Note.

·  
Provided that the Company pays the Investor the sum of $1,500,000.00 in cash on or before the 90th day from the date of the Forbearance Agreement, the Investor agrees that, upon receipt of the payment, each of the First Note, Second Note and March 2010 Note (collectively, the “Notes”) shall be terminated and the Company shall be released from all obligations and liabilities thereunder; and
·  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Exchange Agreements or in that certain Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Borrower dated January 18, 2011 (the “January 2011 Purchase Agreement”), so long as (1) no Event of Default (as defined in the First Note and Second Note) (and in the case of the March 2010 Note, no new Event of Default after the date of the Forbearance Agreement) has occurred under any of the Notes, (2) each of the representations and warranties of Borrower in the Exchange Agreements and the January 2011 Purchase Agreement remain true and correct as of the date of purchase of each Additional Note (as defined below), (3) the Company has increased its authorized shares of common stock to not less than 5,000,000,000 shares as of the date of purchase of such Additional Note, and (4) the Company has complied with all of its obligations and covenants herein, in the Notes, in the Exchange Agreements and in the January 2011 Purchase Agreement as of such date, the Company agrees to deliver to Borrower the sum of $50,000.00 (the “Additional Note Purchase Price”) on or around each of April 1, 2011, April 15, 2011, May 1, 2011, May 15, 2011 and June 1, 2011 as consideration for those certain Additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) as defined in the January 2011 Purchase Agreement.

Purchase and Exchange Agreements

Pursuant to the Purchase and Exchange Agreements, the Company has agreed it will not (i) incur any new indebtedness for borrowed money without the prior written consent of the Investor; provided, however the Company may incur obligations under trade payables in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice without the consent of the Investor; (ii) grant or permit any security interest (or other lien or other encumbrance) in or on any of its assets; and (iii) enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any affiliate of the Company, or amend or modify any agreement related to any of the foregoing, except on terms that are no less favorable, in any material respect, than those obtainable from any person who is not an affiliate.

First Note and Second Notes

The First Note and Second Note each mature 2 years from the date of issuance and accrue interest at the rate of 6% per annum. However, if there is a default, the First Note and Second Note will accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum. At any time or from time to time after the date of the First Note and Second Note and prior to payment in full of the outstanding balance under the notes, Investor has the right, at its option, to convert the Outstanding Balance, in whole or in part (the “Conversion Amount”), into Company Common Stock.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion shall be determined by dividing (i) the Conversion Amount by (ii) the lower of (1) 100% of the average volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock (the “VWAP”) for the three (3) trading days with the lowest VWAP during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date set forth on the Notice of Conversion (defined below), or (2) 50% of the lower of (A) the average VWAP over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date set forth in the Notice of Conversion or (B) the VWAP on the day immediately preceding the date set forth in the Notice of Conversion.  The shares deliverable to the Investor must be delivered electronically, via DWAC or DTC, if the Company is eligible. If the Company does not deliver shares issuable upon conversion of the notes within three days of a conversion notice, the Company must pay the Investor a penalty of 1.5% of the conversion amount added to the balance of the note per day. The number of shares the notes is convertible into is subject to customary anti-dilution provisions.
 
Each of the First Note and Second Note provides that upon each occurrence of any of the triggering events described below (each, a “Trigger Event”), the outstanding balance under the First Note shall be immediately and automatically increased to 125% of the outstanding balance in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of such Trigger Event, and upon the first occurrence of a Trigger Event, (i) the outstanding balance, as adjusted above, shall accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum until the note is repaid in full, and (ii) the Investor shall have the right, at any time thereafter until the note is repaid in full, to (a) accelerate the outstanding balance under the note, and (b) exercise default remedies under and according to the terms of the note; provided, however, that in no event shall the balance adjustment be applied more than two (2) times.  The Trigger Events include the following:  (i) a decline in the five-day average daily dollar volume of the Company Common Stock in its primary market to less than $25,000.00 of volume per day for any five consecutive day period; (ii) a decline in the average VWAP for the Common Stock during any consecutive five (5) day trading period to a per share price of less than one half of one cent ($0.0005); (iii) the Company’s failure to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance to not less than 5,000,000,000 shares within 45 days of the date of the notes; or (iv) the occurrence of any Event of Default under the notes (other than an Event of Default for a Trigger Event which remains uncured or is not waived) that is not cured for a period exceeding ten (10) business days after notice of a declaration of such Event of Default from Investor, or is not waived in writing by the Investor.

Other Terms

The Exchange Agreements and First Note and Second Note contain certain limitations on conversion and exercise. They provide that no conversion or exercise may be made if, after giving effect to the conversion and/or exercise, the Investor would own in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Other than Excepted Issuances (described below), if the First Note and Second Note are outstanding, the Company agrees to issue shares or securities convertible for shares at a price (including an exercise price) which is less than the conversion price of the First Note or Second Note, then the conversion price and exercise price, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the price of any such securities. The only Excepted Issuances are (i) the Company’s issuance of securities to strategic licensing agreements or other partnering agreements which are not for the purpose of raising capital and no registration rights are granted and (ii) the Company’s issuance to employee, directors and consultants pursuant to plans outstanding.
 
The First Note and Second Note were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The offering was not conducted in connection with a public offering, and no public solicitation or advertisement was made or relied upon by the Investor in connection with the offering.
