FOR
VALUE
RECEIVED, HuntMountain Resources, a Nevada corporation, (the "Payor" or the
“Company”), promises to pay to the order of Xxxx Family Limited Partnership , or
its designee ("Payee" or the “Holder”), on July 31, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”),
without demand, the principal amount of all loans made by the Payee to the
Payor
under the terms of this Note (each an “Advance” and collectively the “Advances”)
plus simple interest on the unpaid Advances at an annual rate of eleven percent
(11%) per annum together with any and all costs, expenses, and other charges
due
and payable on this Note. The aggregate principal amount of all
Advances outstanding hereunder shall not exceed five million dollars
($5,000,000), and no Advance shall be made after the Maturity Date.
The
Payor
hereby authorizes the Payee to record on the schedule(s) annexed to this note
the date and amount of each Advance and of each payment or prepayment of
principal made by the Payor and agrees that all such notations shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the matters noted; provided, however, that
the failure of the Payee to make, or any error by the Payee in making, any
such
notation shall not affect the Payor’s obligations hereunder.
The
unpaid principal shall be the total amount advanced hereunder, less the amount
of the principal payments made hereon. The undersigned warrants that
this loan and all funds advanced hereunder are exclusively for commercial or
business purposes related to the business of Payor. This Note is given to avoid
the execution of an individual Note for each advance made by Xxxxx.
Agreements
and Representations of Holder
1.
On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Holder agrees to make
Advances to the Company on a revolving basis at any time and from time to time
until the Maturity Date, during which period the Company may borrow, repay
and
re-borrow in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, that the unpaid
principal amount of outstanding Advances shall not at any time exceed
$5,000,000.
2.
Any request by the Company for an Advance shall be in writing and must be given
so as to be received by the Holder not later than 10:00 AM (Pacific time) on
the
business day immediately preceding the requested Advance date. Each request
for
an Advance shall specify (i) the requested Advance date (which must be a
business day that banks are open) and (ii) the amount of such
Advance. Unless this note is in default, the Holder will make
available to the Company at the Holder’s principal office in immediately
available funds not later than 2:00 PM (Pacific time) on the requested Advance
date the amount of the requested Advance.
3.
The note is being acquired by the Holder for investment for such Xxxxxx’s
own account and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution or public offering thereof. The Holder understands that
the note and any securities issued upon conversion of the note have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
or any state securities laws by reason of their contemplated issuance in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
pursuant to section 4(2) thereof and applicable state securities laws, and
that the reliance of the Company and others upon these exemptions is predicated
in part upon this representation by the Holder. Such Investor further
understands that the note and any securities issued upon conversion of the
note
may not be transferred or resold without (i) registration under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or (ii) an
exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws.
4.
The state in which the Holder’s principal office is located is the state
set forth on the signature page hereto. The Holder qualifies as an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act for
purposes of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The
Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management,
financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the note
with
the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s
facilities. The Holder (a) is able to bear the loss of its entire
investment in the note and any securities issued upon conversion of the note
without any material adverse effect on its business, operations or prospects,
and (b) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment to
be
made by it pursuant to this agreement.
Additional
Note Provisions
5.
Prepayment. Payor shall have the
right to prepay principal at Payor's election without penalty. All
payments shall be first applied to late charges, if any, and then to accrued
interest, if any, and the remainder to principal.
6.
Default Provisions. If Payor
defaults in the payment of this Note, or any part thereof, then the principal
sum with accrued interest shall at once become due and collectable without
notice, time being of the essence of this Note. In the event of
Payor's default in this Note or any payment thereof, the Note shall then bear
interest from the date of the first default in any payment of this note at
the
rate of Fifteen percent (15%) per annum on the declining principal
balance. The payments shall then be first applied to costs and
expenses of collection then to accrued interest, and then to principal.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, any interest, or charges
payable by reason of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall not exceed
the maximum permitted by law.
In
the
event of a default hereunder and/or in the event of a filing of a petition
of
bankruptcy by or against the undersigned, the holder of this Note shall be
entitled to recover all attorney fees and costs incurred by the holder relating
to this Note and whether or not a legal proceeding is commenced to collect
upon
the Note, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred for collection
proceedings, bankruptcy proceedings (such as efforts to modify or vacate any
automatic stay or injunction, to file proofs of claim, to attend meetings of
creditors and to object to any proposed disclosure statement or plan or
reorganization), appeals, and post-judgment collection services.

7.
Security. This Note shall be
unsecured.
8.
Conversion
(a) This
aggregate amount of unpaid Advances and accrued and unpaid interest under this
Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part ($1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof), at the option of Holder, upon the following terms:
(i) Subject
to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder is entitled,
upon
surrender of this Note at the principal office of the Company (or at such other
place as the Company shall notify the Holder hereof in writing), to purchase
from the Company up to that number of units of equity securities )(“Units”) of
the Company, as more fully described below, that equals the quotient obtained
by
dividing (a) the amount of the Note to be converted by (b)
$0.25. Each Unit shall consist of one share of common stock and one
warrant. Each warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one share of common stock
at a price of $0.40 for a period of five years from the conversion date. The
Units, shares of common stock, warrants and shares of common stock underlying
the warrants issuable pursuant to this Section 8(a)(i) shall also be subject
to
adjustment pursuant to Section 2 hereof.
(ii) To
convert this Note, Holder shall (i) surrender this Note, at the principal office
of the Company, duly endorsed in blank, (ii) give written notice to the Company
that it elects to convert all, or any part of this Note, in the form set forth
attached to this Note, and (iii) if requested, delivery of a subscription
agreement, an investment letter or similar document acceptable to the Company
demonstrating that the sale of Shares to be purchased is exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable
state securities laws. As promptly as possible thereafter, the
Company shall issue and deliver to Holder certificates representing the number
of Units into which this Note has been converted. Thereupon, this
Note, or the portion hereof so converted, shall be deemed to have been satisfied
and discharged, and the securities into which this Note shall be so converted
shall be fully paid and nonassessable. In the event this Note has not
been converted in full, the Company shall issue and deliver to Holder a new
Note
identical to the one surrendered, except that it shall be in the correct
principal amount after the partial conversion.
(b) The
conversion price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
provided in this Section (b):
3
(i) If
the Company at any time divides the outstanding shares of its common stock
into
a greater number of shares (whether pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend
or
otherwise), and conversely, if the outstanding shares of its common stock are
combined into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price in effect
immediately prior to such division or combination shall be proportionately
adjusted to reflect the reduction or increase in the value of each such common
share.
(ii) If
any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the
Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation,
or
the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall
be effected in such a way that holders of the Company’s common stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange
for such common stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, Holder shall have the right
to
purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified
in this Note and in lieu of the shares of the common stock of the Company
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the
rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, other securities or assets
as
would have been issued or delivered to Holder if Holder had converted this
Note
and had received such shares of common stock immediately prior to such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. The
Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior
to
the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company)
resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such
assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed to the Holder
at
the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company the
obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled
to
purchase.
(iii) If
and whenever the Company shall (1) issue or sell any shares of its common stock
for a consideration per share less than the conversion price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale, (2) issue or sell any
warrants, options or other rights to acquire shares of its common stock at
a
purchase price less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to
the
time of such issuance or sale or (3) issue or sell any other securities that
are
convertible into shares of its common stock for a purchase or exchange price
less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the time of such
issuance or sale (except for issuance or sale of up to 3,000,000 shares of
the
Company’s common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options that
may be granted pursuant to employee stock option plans adopted by the Company’s
Board of Directors and (ii) the issuance or sale of shares of the Company’s
common stock pursuant to warrants existing as of the date of this Note) then,
upon such issuance or sale, the conversion price shall be reduced to the price
at which such shares of common stock are being issued or sold by the Company
or
the price at which such other securities are exercisable or convertible into
shares of the Company’s common stock.
4
(iv) If
the Company takes any other action, or if any other event occurs, which does
not
come within the scope of the provisions of Section 4(d)(i), (ii) or (iii),
but
which should result in an adjustment in the conversion price and/or the number
of shares subject to this Note in order to fairly protect the conversion rights
of the Holder, an appropriate adjustment in such conversion rights shall be
made
by the Company.
(v) Upon
each adjustment of the conversion price, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled
to acquire, at the conversion price resulting from such adjustment, the number
of shares obtained by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of shares acquirable pursuant hereto
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the
conversion price resulting from such adjustment.
(vi) Upon
any adjustment of the conversion price, the Company shall give written notice
thereof to the Holder stating the conversion price resulting from such
adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares
acquirable at such price upon the exercise of the conversion rights contained
in
Section 1, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and
the
facts upon which such calculation is based.
9.

non-payment, and expressly agrees that this Note or any payment thereunder

Note
and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the principal
office of the Company by the holder hereof in person or by duly authorized
attorney, upon surrender of this Note properly endorsed. The bearer
of this Note, when endorsed, may be treated by the Company and all other persons
dealing with this Note as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as
the
person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Note, or to the
transfer hereof on the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary
notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company may treat
the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.
5
