ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (this Statement) relates to the Ordinary Shares of Mission NewEnergy Limited, an Australian corporation (the Issuer) and is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is Unit 2B, 431 Roberts Road, Subiaco, Western Australia 6008, Australia.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
(a) This Statement is being filed by Eastwood Trust, a trust formed under the laws of the State of Texas (the Trust).
(b) The address of the principal office of the Trust is 7941 Katy Freeway # 529, Houston, Texas 77024.
(c) The principal business of the Trust is to hold, administer, and distribute its assets for the benefit of its beneficiaries.
(d) The Trust has not, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) The Trust has not, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, and as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
On August 24, 2012, the Trust purchased 63,238 of the Issuers A$65 face-value Series 2 Convertible Notes, which bore interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum, payable semi-annually, and had a conversion ratio of one note to four Ordinary Shares, resulting in a conversion price of A$16.50 per share (the Series 2 Notes), from SLW International, LLC, an entity owned by Stephen L. Way, the creator of the Trust for the benefit of his minor children. The Trust purchased such Series 2 Notes for the purchase price of $402,187.50, 10% of which was paid in cash with funds contributed to the Trust by Mr. Way and the remaining 90% of which was borrowed by the Trust from Muragai Financial, LLC, an entity also controlled by Mr. Way. Such loan was evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 0.25% and becoming due on August 1, 2015 and was secured by such Series 2 Notes held by the Trust. On November 23, 2012, the Issuer and the holders of the Series 2 Notes effected an exchange of all outstanding Series 2 Notes for newly issued Series 3 Notes in a transaction approved by the holders of the Issuers Ordinary Shares.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
The purpose of the transaction is investment.
The Trust is filing this Statement because the increased conversion ratio of the Series 3 Notes received by the Trust in exchange for the Series 2 Notes resulted in an increase of the possible beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares by the Trust. As a holder of Series 3 Notes, the Trust may, upon notice to the Issuer, elect to convert all or part of such Series 3 Notes into Ordinary Shares, which could currently result in the Trust holding up to 71.6% of the Issuers outstanding Ordinary Shares, assuming that no other holders of the Series 3 Notes exercise their own equivalent conversion rights. If all other holders of the Series 3 Notes fully exercised their rights of conversion, such holders would hold up to 95.3% of the Ordinary Shares in the aggregate. Additionally, under the terms of the Series 3 Notes, among other events, a sale of material assets by the Issuer requires a repayment of the outstanding face amount of the Series 3 Notes.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
The following disclosure is based on 10,870,275 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of November 23, 2012, as reported in the Form 6-K, filed by the Issuer with the SEC on November 26, 2012:
(a) As of the date hereof, the Trust may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 27,382,054 Ordinary Shares, consisting of Ordinary Shares that would be issuable to the Trust upon conversion of the Series 3 Notes held by the Trust, which represents approximately 71.6% of the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, assuming that no other holders of Series 3 Notes exercise their own equivalent conversion rights.
(b) Except as described in Item 6 below, the Trust has sole voting power over and sole power to dispose of the securities identified in Item 5(a) above.
(c) Except as described in Item 3 of this Statement, the Trust has not effected any transaction in the Ordinary Shares during the 60 days preceding the date hereof.
CUSIP No. Q62163110 |
Page 4 of 5 |
(d) The trustee of the Trust, Jon Hildebrand, has the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities on behalf of the Trust.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Under the Security Agreement-Pledge securing the promissory note described in Item 3 above, upon the occurrence of an event of default, Muragai Financial, LLC would have the right to exercise any voting rights that may be available and to dispose of or direct the disposition of the Series 3 Notes or any securities into which they may be converted. Further, prior to the occurrence of an event of default the Trust may not sell or otherwise dispose of any such securities without the prior written consent of Muragai Financial, LLC. Subject to the foregoing, pursuant to the Trust Agreement creating the Trust the Trustee of the Trust has the sole right to vote and dispose of the investments held by the Trust, including the securities of the Issuer held by the Trust, and the beneficiaries of the Trust have the right to withdraw certain amounts from the Trust upon attaining certain ages and meeting certain additional conditions.

Interest on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate in which case interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.
All outstanding principal of this Note and all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on August 1, 2015.
This Note is secured as provided in the Security Agreement (hereinafter defined).

All notices and other communications provided for in this Note and the other Loan Documents shall be in writing and may be telecopied (faxed), mailed by certified mail return receipt requested, or delivered to the intended recipient at the addresses specified below or at such other address as shall be designated by any party listed below in a notice to the other parties listed below given in accordance with this paragraph.
If to Maker: |
Eastwood Trust 7941 Katy Freeway #529 Houston, Texas 77024 Attention: Jon Hildebrand, Trustee | |
If to Payee: |
Muragai Financial, LLC 800 Gessner, Suite 600 Houston, Texas 77024 |
Except as otherwise provided in this Note or any Loan Document, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopy (fax), subject to confirmation of receipt, when personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, when duly deposited in the mails, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provisions of this Note shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Note or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither Maker nor the sureties, guarantors, successors or assigns of Maker shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest, or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. If for any reason interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed charged, required or permitted by any court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by this Note; and, if the principal amount hereof has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Maker and Payee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note so that the interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder hereof may, at its option, (a) declare the entire unpaid principal of and accrued interest on this Note immediately due and payable without notice, demand or presentment, all of which are hereby waived, and upon such declaration, the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, (b) foreclose the security interests created by the Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, (c) offset against this Note any sum or sums owed by the holder hereof to Maker, and (d) take any and all other actions available to Payee under this Note, at law, in equity or otherwise. Failure of the holder hereof to exercise any of the foregoing options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same upon the occurrence of a subsequent Event of Default.
Page 4 of 5
If the holder hereof expends any effort in any attempt to enforce payment of all or any part or installment of any sum due the holder hereunder, or if this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceedings, Maker agrees to pay all costs, expenses, and fees incurred by the holder, including all reasonable attorneys fees.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS NOTE IS PERFORMABLE IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS.
Maker and each surety, guarantor, endorser, and other party ever liable for payment of any sums of money payable on this Note jointly and severally waive notice, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, diligence in collecting, grace, and all other formalities of any kind, and consent to all extensions without notice for any period or periods of time and partial payments, before or after maturity, and any impairment of any collateral securing this Note, all without prejudice to the holder. The holder shall similarly have the right to deal in any way, at any time, with one or more of the foregoing parties without notice to any other party, and to grant any such party any extensions of time for payment of any of said indebtedness, or to release or substitute part or all of the collateral securing this Note, or to grant any other indulgences or forbearances whatsoever, without notice to any other party and without in any way affecting the personal liability of any party hereunder.
THIS NOTE, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF MAKER AND PAYEE. THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE.

Section 4.1 Power of Attorney. Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead and in the name of Pledgor or in its own name, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to take any and all action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives Secured Party the power and right on behalf of Pledgor and in its own name to do any of the following, without notice to or the consent of Pledgor:
(a) to demand, sue for, collect, or receive in the name of Pledgor or in its own name, any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral and, in connection therewith, endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, or any other instruments for the payment of money under the Collateral;
(b) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

Page 4
as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Secured Partys option and Pledgors expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve, or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Partys security interest therein.
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Secured Party shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges, and options expressly or implicitly granted to Secured Party in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. Secured Party shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or in its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on Secured Party solely to protect, preserve, and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.
Section 4.2 Voting Rights. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting rights relating or pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof.
Section 4.3 Performance by Secured Party of Pledgors Obligations. If Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and Secured Party itself shall cause performance of or compliance with such agreement, the expenses of Secured Party, together with interest thereon at the maximum nonusurious per annum rate permitted by applicable law, shall be payable by Pledgor to Secured Party on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured by this Agreement.
Section 4.4 Secured Partys Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care in the physical custody of the Collateral while held by Secured Party hereunder, Secured Party shall have no responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to all or any part of the Collateral or any matter or proceeding arising out of or relating thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation or duty to collect any sums due in respect thereof or to protect or preserve any rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that Pledgor shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party shall be conclusively deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral if Secured Party takes such action, for purposes of preserving rights in the Collateral, as Pledgor may reasonably request in writing, but no failure or omission or delay by Secured Party in complying with any such request by Pledgor, and no refusal by Secured Party to comply with any such request by Pledgor, shall be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care.

Default
Section 5.1 Events of Default. The term Event of Default shall mean an Event of Default as defined in the Note.
Section 5.2 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the following rights and remedies:
(a) Secured Party may declare the Obligations or any part thereof immediately due and payable, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Pledgor; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under clause (d) or clause (e) of the definition of Event of Default contained in the Note, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Pledgor.
(b) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Secured Party in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing, or relating to the Obligations, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party may (i) without demand or notice to Pledgor, collect, receive, or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and/or (ii) sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at Secured Partys offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery. Pledgor agrees that Secured Party shall not be obligated to give more than ten (10) days written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such matters. Pledgor shall be liable for all expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, or the like, and all attorneys fees and other expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the collection of the Obligations and the enforcement of Secured Partys rights under this Agreement, all of which expenses and fees shall constitute additional Obligations secured by this Agreement. Secured Party may apply the Collateral against the Obligations in such order and manner as Secured Party may elect in its sole discretion. Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations. Pledgor waives all rights of marshalling in respect of the Collateral.
(c) Secured Party may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of Secured Party or the name or names of Secured Partys nominee or nominees.
Page 6
(d) Secured Party shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends payable in respect of the Collateral.
(e) Secured Party shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, exercise or cause to be exercised all voting rights and corporate powers in respect of the Collateral, and Pledgor shall deliver to Secured Party, if requested by Secured Party, irrevocable proxies with respect to the Collateral in form satisfactory to Secured Party.
(f) Pledgor hereby acknowledges and confirms that Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire any shares of the Collateral for their own respective accounts for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor further acknowledges and confirms that any such private sale may result in prices or other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, and Secured Party shall be under no obligation to take any steps in order to permit the Collateral to be sold at a public sale. Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for any period of time necessary to permit any issuer thereof to register such Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws.
(g) On any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is necessary, in the view of Secured Partys counsel, in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser or purchasers by any applicable governmental authority.
(h) On any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party is authorized to disclaim any warranty, express or implied. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing action by Secured Party may result in a diminution of the proceeds from any such sale of Collateral.
