DYNECO CORPORATION
SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
Amount: |
$2,000,000.00 |
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Dyneco Corporation a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to MMA Capital, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, or its assigns (the “Holder”) the principal sum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00 U.S.), subject to the terms and conditions of this convertible promissory note (the “Note”), the Security Agreement between the Company and the Holder of even date herewith (the “Security Agreement”), and the Subscription Agreement between the Company and the Holder of even date herewith (the “Subscription”). In addition, the Company promises to pay to the Holder simple interest quarterly on all outstanding principal hereunder accruing at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year), commencing from the Effective Date (as defined on the signature page below) until January 13, 2007, Note maturity date (the “Maturity Date”).
On the Maturity Date, all outstanding principal and interest hereunder are immediately due and payable upon demand by the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid and unconverted principal sum of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined below. Any outstanding and unconverted principal and interest not paid in full by the Maturity Date shall begin to accrue interest at the Default Rate, as defined below, until this Note is paid or converted in full.
At the sole election of the Holder, any principal and accrued interest hereunder will be payable in either: (i) shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of
1
conversion as provided herein with the same terms and price as all other holders of Common Stock, or (ii) cash. If the Holder elects to receive payments in cash, then the Company agrees to make the interest payments on any outstanding principal by certified check, cashier’s check, bank check, or wire transfer to an account designated by the Holder in writing on each quarterly anniversary of the Effective Date. If the Holder elects to convert any principal or interest into the Company’s Common Stock, any such stock will be entitled to price-based anti-dilution protection such that, if the Company issues any shares of stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than One Dollar ($1.00) at any time after the Effective Date, then the exercise price for any Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under this Note will be reduced, concurrently with the issuance of the Dilutive Shares, to the price of the Dilutive Shares.
As a material inducement for Holder to enter into this Note, on the Effective Date, the Company will grant to the Holder a warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase Two Million (2,000,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Warrant will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, and will be exercisable for three (3) years from the grant date at a strike price of One Dollar ($1.00) per share.
The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, hereby agrees:
|
1. |
PAYMENT. |
1.1 Cash. Unless the Holder notifies the Company on or before the Maturity Date of a desire to convert the Note according to paragraph 2, on the Maturity Date the Company shall notify the Holder of the right of conversion. Unless the Holder elects to convert within ten (10) days of such notice, the Company will pay all of the principal and accrued interest due under this Note within fourteen (14) days of the Maturity Date in accordance with the terms set forth herein.
2. CONVERSION. At the sole option of the Holder, any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under this Note will be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of one dollar ($1.00) per share as follows:
2.1 Common Stock. If the Holder desires to convert any of the principal or interest under this Note into shares of Common Stock, then such Holder will surrender this Note at the office of the Company, along with the Notice of Conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B stating therein the amount of principal and interest to be converted. Thereupon the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder: (i) the form of Company Common Stock Subscription Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C for Holder’s signature, and (ii) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled (or other evidence of ownership, if the shares are non-certificated). Such
2
conversion will be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of that this Note is surrendered, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion will be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date. If the Holder chooses to convert any portion of this Note before the Maturity Date, then the Company will endorse the Note with an indication of any remaining principal and interest and return the Note to the Holder. If the Holder chooses to convert only a portion of this Note on or after the Maturity Date, then the Company will promptly pay in cash, certified check, cashier’s check, bank check, or wire transfer any principal and interest remaining due on this Note.
2.2 Adjustments. The shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be converted shall be subject to adjustment at any time after the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of Section 3 of the Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock attached hereto as Exhibit A.
2.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu thereof, the Company will pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying the conversion price applied to effect such conversion by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence.
2.4 Effect of Conversion. Upon the: (i) conversion of this Note, (ii) delivery to the Company of this Note for cancellation, (iii) delivery to the Holder of the certificate or certificates issuable upon conversion of this Note, (iv) payment in cash for any principal and interest not subject to conversion, and (v) payment to the Holder for fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, the Company will be released automatically from any and all further obligations and liabilities under this Note, and this Note will thereafter be void and of no further force or effect.
2.5 Contemplated Conversion and Reverse Split. The terms of the conversion features of this Note are contingent and dependent upon the Company’s contemplated increase in authorized shares, conversion of all preferred stock into common stock , and 30:1 reverse split to be approved by the Company’s shareholders. Should these events not occur as contemplated at the time of conversion, the conversion of this Note shall occur in such manner so that the rights of the Holder are the same as if the contemplated events had occurred.
3. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company agrees to file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of any Common Stock eligible for conversion under this Agreement as soon as practicable to effect the registration of such Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company’s failure to complete a registration (ex. declared effective by the SEC) within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Effective Date and keep such registration effective for a period of no less than ninety (90) days shall be deemed an Event of Default under Section 4 of this Note. All expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Holder’s Common Stock, including without limitation all registration and qualification fees, accounting fees, fees and
3
disbursements of counsel for the Company, and reasonable fees and expenses of a single special counsel for the Holder, will be borne by the Company.

By written notice to the Company, the Holder may declare the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note, together with all interest accrued hereunder, to be forthwith due and payable immediately in cash, without further presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(ii) Security Interest.

(iii) Default Interest Rate.

The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. Subject to the foregoing, transfers of this Note will be registered upon registration books maintained for such purpose by, for or on behalf of the Company. Prior to presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company will treat the registered holder thereof as the owner and Holder of this Note for all purposes whatsoever.
6. PREPAYMENT. The Company may not make optional prepayments of principal, interest or other obligations under this Note without the Holder’s prior written consent. Any permitted prepayment on this Note will be credited first against any outstanding obligations other than principal or interest, and then to accrued and unpaid
