<<What happens to this deal if ECO doesn't trade above 15 in the future?>>

That's the risk of investing I guess.

To specifically address your question, I assume DBCO shareholders would continue to recieve their interest on the $3 buy out price...and one of two things would happen at the end of the Note's term: 1) the principal and interest on the Note would be paid, or 2) ECO would force conversion of the DBCO shares with converted shareholders carrying a $15 tax basis...even if the stock trades for less than $15. #2 is advantageous to ECO, but I suspect the final agreement will have some protection clauses for the DBCO shareholders--such as anti-dilution provisions--if this situation materialized....which segways into a third scenario--"-ratcheting down" the tax basis of the stock under certain anti-dilution provisions) from $15 to a recent trading level.

We simply don't know all the details right now...and I suspect many are still being refined...but that's my educated guess for the time being. Hope it helps.
