FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Quest Minerals
& Mining Corp., a Utah corporation (the “Maker”), hereby promises to
pay to Metacomet Company, LLC, or its successors and assigns (the “Payee”), at its address at
8515 Costa Verde Blvd., Suite 907, San Diego, California 92112, or to such other
address as Payee shall provide in writing to the Maker for such purpose, a
principal sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars (U.S. $50,000.00). The
aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Note will be conclusively
evidenced by the schedule annexed as Exhibit B hereto (the “Loan Schedule”), up to a
maximum principal document of U.S $50,000. The entire principal
amount hereunder shall be due and payable in full on October 23, 2011 (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 (the “Note”) at the rate of eight
percent (8%) per annum 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 be paid on the
Maturity Date 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 and
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 (except as otherwise
set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph, 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 15). 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.
-1-
3. Certain Conversion
Limitations.
(a) The
Payee may not convert an outstanding principal amount of this Note or accrued
and unpaid interest thereon to the extent such conversion would result in the
Payee, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (as defined in Section 15)
and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock. Since the Payee will not be
obligated to report to the Maker the number of shares of Common Stock it may
hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would
result in the issuance of Shares in excess of 4.999% of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be
beneficially owned by the Payee or an affiliate thereof, the Payee shall have
the authority and obligation to determine whether and the extent to which the
restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion
hereunder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by Payee upon
not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Maker.
(b) The
Payee may not convert an outstanding principal amount of this Note or accrued
and unpaid interest thereon to the extent such conversion would result in the
Payee, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock. Since the Payee will not be obligated to report to the
Maker the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a
conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the
issuance of Shares in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the
Payee or an affiliate thereof, the Payee shall have the authority and obligation
to determine whether and the extent to which the restriction contained in this
Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder. The
provisions of this Section may be waived by Payee upon not less than 61 days’
prior notice to the Maker.
(c) The
Payee may not convert an outstanding principal amount of this Note or accrued
and unpaid interest thereon to the extent such conversion would require the
Maker to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maker’s then sufficient
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock.
4. Deliveries.
(a) Not
later than three (3) Trading Days (as defined in Section 15) after any
Conversion Date (the “Delivery
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 (subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 3 hereof), 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 stocks 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.
-2-
(b) If
the Maker fails to deliver to the Payee such certificate or certificates
pursuant to Section 4(a) by the third (3rd) Trading Day after the Conversion
Date, the Maker shall pay to the Payee, in cash, as liquidated damages and not
as a penalty, $500 for each Trading Day after such third (3rd)
Trading Day until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein
shall limit a Payee’s right to pursue actual damages or declare a Triggering
Event (as defined in Section 7) pursuant to Section 7 herein for the Maker’s
failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon
conversion within the period specified herein and such Payee shall have the
right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree specific performance and/or injunctive
relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Payee
from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under
applicable law. Further, if the Maker shall not have delivered any
cash due in respect of conversions of the principal amount of this Note and any
interest accrued thereunder by the third (3rd)
Trading Day after the Conversion Date, then in lieu of the receipt of such cash
payment, the Payee may, by notice to the Maker, require the Maker to issue
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2, except that for such purpose the
Conversion Price applicable thereto shall be the lesser of the Conversion Price
on the Conversion Date and the Conversion Price on the date of the Payee
demand.
(c) If,
by the relevant Delivery Date Maker fails for any reason to deliver the Shares
to be issued upon conversion of this Note and after such Delivery Date,
Payee (a “Converting
Payee”) purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or
otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to
make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Converting Payee
(the “Sold Shares”),
which delivery such Converting Payee anticipated to make using the Shares to be
issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Converting Payee
shall have the right, to require Maker to pay to the Converting Payee, in
addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due under Section 4(b) hereof (but in
addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the
Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In
Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is
the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Converting Payee’s total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares
over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received
by the Converting Payee from the sale of the Sold Shares. The
Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately
available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Payee. By way of
illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Payee
purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of
Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount
which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Payee will be
$1,000.
-3-
5. Optional Redemption of
Principal Amount. Provided a Triggering Event or an event
which with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become Triggering
Event has not occurred, whether or not such Triggering Event has been cured, the
Maker will have the option of prepaying the outstanding principal amount of this
Note (“Optional
Redemption”), in whole or in part, by paying to the Payee a sum of money
equal to one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the principal amount to be
redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all
other sums due, accrued or payable to Payee arising under this Note through the
Redemption Payment Date as defined below (the “Redemption
Amount”). Maker’s election to exercise its right to prepay
must be by notice in writing (“Notice of
Redemption”). The Notice of Redemption shall specify the date
for such Optional Redemption (the “Redemption Payment Date”),
which date shall be twenty (20) days after the date of the Notice of Redemption
(the “Redemption
Period”). A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with
respect to any portion of the principal amount for which the Payee has a pending
election to convert; provided, however, that Payee
may not initiate any additional conversions during the Redemption
Period. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount, less
any portion of the Redemption Amount against which Payee has exercised its
conversion rights prior to the Notice
of Redemption, shall be paid in good funds to Payee. In the event Maker fails to
pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein,
then such Notice of Redemption will be null and void.
6. Certain
Adjustments.
(a) 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, at its option,
(A) 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
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 or (B) require the Maker to prepay the
aggregate of its outstanding principal amount under this Note, plus all interest
accrued and other amounts due and payable thereon, at a price determined and
payable in accordance with Section 7. The entire prepayment price
shall be paid in cash. This provision shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications or share exchanges.
(b) No
adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment is less
than $0.0001, 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 7 shall be
made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a
share, as the case may be.
(c) Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of Section 6, 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.

Stock; (B) the Maker shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a

Maker is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Maker, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is
converted 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 20 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.
(e) 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
15), 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

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 converted 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 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

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

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. 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

event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such

conversion of the outstanding aggregate amount of principal and interest under
this Note as herein provided, 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 issuable pursuant to the terms thereof
shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid, and
nonassessable.
(g) 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.
(h) 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.
7. Mandatory Prepayment Upon
Triggering Events. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined

after the date on which notice of such failure or breach shall have been

etc. All payments of principal and interest shall be made
without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. No delay or failure on the
