GreenShift paid to Cornell Capital Partners a commitment fee of $147,500 in connection with the sale, and paid a $15,000 structuring fee to Yorkville Advisors Management, LLC. Accordingly, GreenShift received net proceeds of $1,312,500. The Debenture bears interest at 5% per annum, payable monthly commencing on December 1, 2005. The principal amount of the Debenture is payable on October 12, 2007, except GreenShift must prepay the Debenture if it raises $7,000,000 from the sale of equity securities. GreenShift's obligations under the Debenture are secured by a pledge of all of its assets, subject to Cornell's agreement to subordinate its security interest to any line of credit that GreenShift obtains from a bank or other financial institution. GreenShift may prepay the Debenture at any time without penalty. Cornell is entitled to convert the Debenture into GreenShift common stock, provided that Cornell cannot convert into shares that would cause Cornell to own more than 4.9% of GreenShift's outstanding common stock.
