4. The Borrower shall pay to the Holder on an accelerated basis the following amounts on or before the indicated dates, it being understood that notwithstanding the fact that portions of the Principal Amount of the Note may be paid on an accelerated basis, the Holder shall be entitled to and guaranteed interest on the Principal Amount at the Stated Rate through the Maturity Date:

(a) $40,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the Note promptly following the receipt by the Borrower of the approved grant receivable in the amount of €370,516.72 pursuant to the Convention No. 7452 “CardiaX Biowin” Contract between Nexeon Medsystems Belgium, SPRL, a wholly owned subsidiary of Borrower, and the Public Service of Wallonia - Department of Technology Development, Belgium, but in any event no later than November 30, 2018;

(b) $350,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the Note promptly following the receipt by the Borrower of advance payments in the amount of €720,127.28 pursuant to the Convention No. 7949 “ION CATHETER” Contract between Nexeon Medsystems Belgium, SPRL, Mediline, S.A., wholly owned subsidiaries of Borrower, and the Public Service of Wallonia - Department of Technology Development, Belgium, but in any event no later than January 31, 2019;

(d) All net proceeds from any capital funding or sale of assets of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000.

5. The Holder’s legal fees relating to this Amendment shall be added to the principal amount of the Note not to exceed $5,000.

Consideration; Condition to Effectiveness.

(a) In consideration for entering into this Amendment and as a condition to its effectiveness, the Borrower shall cause and procure that Nexeon Medsystems Europe S.à.x.x. will pay promptly to the Holder seven percent (7%) of each dividend amount (after payment of any taxes on such amount) which is due and payable by Nexeon Medsystems Belgium SPRL to its shareholder Nexeon Medsystems Europe S.à.x.x. (the “Dividend Payment Undertaking”). The Dividend Payment Undertaking is explicitly agreed upon by Nexeon Medsystems Europe S.à.x.x. by countersigning this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, this Dividend Payment Undertaking is perpetual. For purposes of the Dividend Payment Undertaking, the Borrower shall cause and procure that Nexeon Medsystems Belgium SPRL continues its normal dividend distribution policy as in the past (and not to deviate in any way from such policy) during the entire period that the Dividend Payment Undertaking is in place under and pursuant to this Amendment.

(b) In case the Borrower alienates, directly or indirectly (e.g. through an alienation of the shares in (or of the assets owned by) any intermediate holding company), its (indirect) interest in Medi-Line SPRL, or in case Medi-Line SPRL alienates (whether within the Nexeon group or to a third party) any or all of its assets, the Borrower shall pay the Holder (as if it were the economic owner of a seven percent (7%) interest in Medi-Line SPRL), promptly upon any such alienation, seven percent (7%) of the related alienation proceeds in readily available funds.
