SECURED CONVERTIBLE
PROMISSORY NOTE
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.
3. [Intentionally Omitted.]
(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.
(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.
(d) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted
pursuant to Section 5(b), the Maker shall promptly mail to the
Payee a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiting such adjustment.
(e) If (A) the Maker shall declare a dividend (or
any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Maker shall
declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of
the Common Stock; (C) the Maker shall authorize the granting to all
holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights;
(D) the approval of any stockholders of the Maker shall be required
in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the Maker is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker, of
any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is convened
into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Maker shall
authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the affairs of the Maker; then, in each case, the
Maker shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained
for the purpose of conversion of the any portion of the principal
amount and interest outstanding under this Note, and shall cause to
be mailed to the Payee at its last address as it shall appear upon
the stock books of the Maker, at least 5 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which
the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected
to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice
or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect
the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in
such notice.
(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.
(g) The Maker covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon
conversion of the outstanding aggregate amount of principal and
interest under this Note as herein provided, free from preemptive
rights or any other actual or contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the Payee, not less than such number of shares of the
Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the
adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of
the outstanding amount of principal and interest under this Note.
The Maker covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be
so issuable shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly
issued and fully paid, nonassessable and, if a Registration
Statement (as defined in Section 8) has been declared effective
under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance
with such Registration Statement.
(h) Upon a conversion hereunder, the Maker shall
not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions
of shares of the Common Stock, but may, if otherwise permitted,
make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share
based on the Per Share Market Value at such time. If the Maker
elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Payee
shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a
share, one whole share of Common Stock.
(i) The issuance of certificates for shares of the
Common Stock on conversion of the principal amount and interest
outstanding under this Note shall be made without charge to the
Payee for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be
payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such
certificate.
6. Mandatory Prepayment Upon Triggering
Events . Upon the
occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined below), the Payee
shall have the right (in addition to all other rights it may have
hereunder or under applicable law), exercisable at the sole option
of the Payee, to require the Maker to prepay all or a portion of
the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon. Such prepayment shall be due and payable
within thirty (30) Trading Days of the date on which the notice for

of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Maker (other than
redemptions of Shares); or
