On December 16, 2011, Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a $1,950,000 secured promissory note (the "Note") with First Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), of Clarksville, Indiana.  The Note is an extension, renewal, modification, and/or replacement of a $2,000,000 promissory note that the Company made in favor of the Bank that was executed on January 21, 2011 and that was disclosed in and filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 19, 2011 (the “Prior Report”).

The Note, which matures on January 25, 2014, bears interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum.  In the event of a default, the interest rate would increase by 5.00% per annum.  Beginning on January 25, 2012, and continuing on the 25th day of each month up through and including December 25, 2013, the Company must make monthly payments on the Note of $37,780.00.  The remaining principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Note are to be paid as a balloon payment on the maturity date.

Pursuant to a Security Agreement between the Company and the Bank dated as of January 21, 2011, disclosed in and attached as Exhibit 10.5 to the Prior Report, the Note is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all accounts receivable of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lightyear Network Solutions, LLC (“Lightyear”) and Lightyear’s lockbox account with Fifth Third Bank. The Note is also secured by two million shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, owned by LY Holdings, LLC (“LYH”), a Kentucky limited liability company pursuant to a Stock Pledge Agreement by LYH in favor of the Bank dated November 4, 2011 and filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 4, 2011.  The Note is also secured by the personal guaranties of J. Sherman Henderson III, Ronald L. Carmicle, Chris T. Sullivan and W. Brent Rice, and a guaranty by Lightyear. The personal guaranty of each of Messrs. Carmicle, Sullivan and Rice is limited to $250,000.

Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Henderson, Mr. Carmicle and Mr. Rice are all directors of the Company.    Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Henderson and Mr. Rice are all directors and members of LYH.   As of December 16, 2011, LYH owned 45.3% of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share.

The Note contains customary events of default and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including (among others) minimum earnings and net worth requirements for the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SE Acquisitions, LLC, minimum receivables for Lightyear, and Bank approval of additional Company (or affiliate) borrowings in excess of $100,000.

Mr. Henderson maintains a personal line of credit with the Bank in the amount of $750,000.
