SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

U.S. $2,500,000.00

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Shumate Industries, Inc. (formerly Excalibur Industries, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “ Maker ”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Stillwater National Bank & Trust Company, a national banking association, or its successors and assigns (the “ Payee ”), at its address at 1500 South Utica Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74104, or to such other address as Payee shall provide in writing to the Maker for such purpose, a principal sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S. $2,500,000.00). The aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Note will be conclusively evidenced by the schedule annexed as Exhibit B hereto (the “ Loan Schedule ”). The entire principal amount hereunder shall be due and payable in full on October 19, 2010 (the “ Maturity Date ”), or on such earlier date as such principal amount may earlier become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

1.   Interest Rate . Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “ Note ”) at the rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (WSJPR) plus two percent (2%) per annum, adjusted to date of change from the date of the first making of the loan for such principal amount until such unpaid principal amount is paid in full or earlier converted into shares (the “ Shares ”) of the Maker’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “ Common Stock ”), in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest hereunder shall accrue until the earlier of (a) October 19, 2007, or (b) the entire principal amount under this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is converted in accordance with the terms hereof, at which time the accrued interest will be capitalized into principal. Beginning on January 19, 2008, interest hereunder shall be paid quarterly or on such earlier date as the principal amount under this Note becomes due and payable or is converted in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

2.   Conversion of Principal and Interest . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Payee, at its sole option, may deliver to the Maker a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “ Conversion Notice ”) and an updated Loan Schedule, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the payment of the principal amount and all accrued interest thereon (the date of the delivery of a Conversion Notice shall be referred to herein as a “ Conversion Date ”), to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for a number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the dollar amount of such outstanding principal amount of this Note plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon being converted by the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 17). Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder in an amount equal to the applicable conversion, which shall be evidenced by entries set forth in the Conversion Notice and the Loan Schedule.

4.   Deliveries .

 

(a)   Not later than five (5) Trading Days (as defined in Section 17) after any Conversion Date, the Maker will deliver to the Payee (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the principal amount of this Note and any interest accrued thereunder being converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice, and (ii) an endorsement by the Maker of the Loan Schedule acknowledging the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon not converted (an “ Endorsement ”). The Maker’s delivery to the Payee of stock certificates in accordance clause (i) above shall be Maker’s conclusive endorsement of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon not converted as set forth in the Loan Schedule.

 

5.   Certain Adjustments .

 

(a)   If the Maker, at any time while any portion of the principal amount due under this Note is outstanding, (a) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Maker, then the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 17) shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b)   In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, the Payee shall have the right thereafter to convert the then outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing under this Note only into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of the Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Payee shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the Maker into which the then outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder in respect of this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or share exchanges.

 

(c)   No adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $0.01, provided that any adjustments which by reason of this Section are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as the case may be.

(f)   In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Maker with or into another Person that would constitute a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in Section 17), or (2) sale, directly or indirectly, by the Maker of more than one-half of the assets of the Maker (on an as valued basis) in one or a series of related transactions, or (3) tender or other offer or exchange (whether by the Maker or another Person) pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, stock, cash or property of the Maker or another Person, then the Payee shall have the right to (A) convert the then aggregate amount of principal and interest outstanding under this Note into the shares of stock and other securities, cash, and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale, and the Payee shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which such aggregate amount of principal and interest outstanding under this Note could have been convened immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale would have been entitled, (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation, (x) require the surviving entity to issue shares of convertible debt with aggregate principal amount equal to the then aggregate amount of principal outstanding under this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which convertible debt shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Note and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Payee as set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Note was issued (including, without limitation, as such rights relate to the acquisition, transferability, registration and listing of such shares of stock other securities issuable upon conversion thereof), and (y) simultaneously with the issuance of such convertible debt, shall have the right to convert such debt only into shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger or consolidation, or (C) in the event of an exchange or tender offer or other transaction contemplated by clause (3) of this Section, tender or exchange the then outstanding aggregate amount of principal and interest under this Note for such securities, stock, cash and other property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock that have tendered or exchanged their shares of Common Stock following such tender or exchange, and the Payee shall be entitled upon such exchange or tender to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which the then outstanding aggregate amount of principal and interest under this Note could have been converted (taking into account all then accrued and unpaid dividends) immediately prior to such tender or exchange would have been entitled as would have been issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale, consolidation, tender or exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Payee the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.
