are an Affiliate would hold 50% or more of the outstanding capital stock of the Company or (iv) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; provided, however, that a transaction shall not constitute a Corporate Transaction if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the Persons who held the Company’s securities immediately prior to such transaction.

2. Terms of the Notes.
2.1 Issuance of Notes. In return for the Consideration paid by the Lenders, the Company shall sell and issue to each of the Lenders, and each of the Lenders shall purchase, one or more Notes as the case may be. Each Note shall have a principal balance equal to that portion of the Consideration paid by the Lender for the Note, as set forth on the signature page hereto. At the option of each Lender, the Notes shall be convertible into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2.2 below.
2.2 Right to Convert Notes.
(a) Qualified Offering. Subject to Section 2.2(b) below, if a Qualified Offering is completed, without further action from the Lender, on the closing date of the Qualified Offering, 100% of the outstanding principal and accrued, but unpaid interest under the terms of each Note shall be converted into
-2-
Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price. Upon conversion, the Conversion Shares deliverable hereunder shall be issued within four (4) business days of the conversion date.
(b) Limitation on Conversions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Notes issued to each of the Non-Remeditex Lenders, upon the completion of a Qualified Offering, the Note issued to such Non-Remeditex Lender shall not be convertible into Conversion Shares to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Non-Remeditex Lender or any of its Affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the conversion provisions of Section 2.2(a) would be limited by this Section 2.2(b), the portion of the Note not converted as of the date of the Qualified Offering shall be converted into Common Stock at a later date or dates, provided that at such later date or dates the limitation in this Section 2.2(b) would no longer apply to a Non-Remeditex Lender because such Non-Remeditex Lender would no longer own in excess of the Maximum Percentage. During any period of time after the completion of a Qualified Offering, but prior to the time any Non-Remeditex Lender would be permitted to receive Common Stock pursuant to the conversion provisions of their Notes: (i) the Maturity Date of the Notes issued to such Non-Remeditex Lender shall be automatically extended until such date as such Note is fully converted, and during such period the Company shall not be permitted to repay such Note in cash; (ii) the Note issued to such Non-Remeditex Lender shall cease to accrue interest as set forth in such Note; and (iii) the Company shall no longer be required to comply with the covenants set forth in Section 7 below. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this section shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this section to correct this section (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not amend or waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock.
(c) Corporate Transaction. If the Company consummates a Corporate Transaction prior to the payment in full or conversion of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2(a) above, then the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the terms of the Note(s) held by each Non-Voting Holder shall, at the option of the Non-Voting Holder thereof, either be (i) due and payable in full by the Company at the Make-Whole Amount, or (ii) converted into Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 2.2(c); in each case which shall occur immediately prior to the consummation of the Corporate Transaction and which may be conditioned upon such consummation. If the Notes are to be converted into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii), the number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon the conversion of the Note shall be determined by dividing (A) the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest outstanding on each Note to be converted as of the date of conversion by (B) a conversion price of $1.25 per share (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like). At least ten (10) days prior to the closing of a Corporate Transaction, the Company shall notify the Non-Voting Holder of each Note in writing of the terms of the Corporate Transaction (the “Corporate Transaction Notice”), and the Non-Voting Holder shall inform the Company of its decision as set forth above within such 10-day period. The term “Non-Voting Holder” shall mean (i) Remeditex, only if the Corporate Transaction is approved by the Board of Directors without the approval of either director appointed by Remeditex pursuant to the Charter; and (ii) each Non-Remeditex Lender. Further, with respect to any Corporate Transaction that is approved by either director appointed by Remeditex pursuant to the Charter, the Note held by Remeditex shall, at the option of Remeditex, be due and payable in full by the Company or converted into Conversion Shares on the same terms as the Convertible Promissory Notes held by Remeditex as of the date hereof pursuant to the Existing NPAs (as defined in Section 7.2 below).
-3-
(d) No Fractional Shares. Upon the conversion of a Note into Conversion Shares, no fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of any Note and the aggregate number of shares of stock to be issued shall, at the Company’s sole discretion, be (i) rounded up to the nearest whole share or (ii) in lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of the Note would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the holder thereof an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price in effect for such Conversion Shares.
(e) Mechanics of Conversion. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the holder of the Note has surrendered the Note to the Company at the address set forth on the signature page hereto (as may be updated pursuant to Section 8.5 below). Such conversion may be made contingent upon the closing of the Qualified Offering or any transaction described in Section 2.2(c). With respect to any conversion pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall, if necessary, promptly take all necessary steps to authorize the filing of all necessary amendments to its then current Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to authorize and reserve for issuance sufficient quantities of the Conversion Shares described in Section 1(e), as well as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of any Equity Securities issued pursuant to Section 2.2(c).

In the event there is more than one closing, the term “Closing” shall apply to each such closing unless otherwise specified. At each Closing, each Lender shall deliver the Consideration to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds and the Company shall deliver to each Lender one or more executed Notes in return for the respective Consideration provided to the Company.
4.2 Sale of Additional Notes.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. In connection with the transactions provided for herein, each Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, that:
6.1 Authorization. This Agreement constitutes the Lender’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) laws relating
-11-
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. The Lender represents that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. Additionally, the Lender is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted.
6.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Lender acknowledges that this Agreement is made with Lender in reliance upon its representation to the Company that the Note, the Conversion Shares, and any Equity Securities issuable upon conversion of the Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for Lender’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Lender further represents that the Lender does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to the Securities.
6.3 Disclosure of Information. The Lender acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. The Lender further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the Company’s business, properties, prospects and financial condition and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished or made available to the Lender.
6.4 Investment Experience. The Lender is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. The Lender also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
6.5 Accredited Investor. The Lender is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as in effect on the date hereof.
6.6 No Disqualification Events. Neither (a) the Lender, (b) any of its directors, executive officers, other officers that may serve as a director or officer of any company in which it invests, general partners or managing members, nor (c) any beneficial owner of the Company’s voting equity securities (in accordance with Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act) held by the Lender, as applicable, is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Securities Act Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) (each, a “Disqualification Event”), except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act and disclosed reasonably in advance of the purchase of this Note in writing in reasonable detail to the Company. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Lender represents and warrants that: (1) the Lender has not been subject to a criminal conviction within ten years of the issuance of this Note or to a court injunction or restraining order within five years of the issuance of this Note in connection with the purchase or sale of a security, in connection with making a false filing with the SEC, or arising out of the conduct of any financial intermediaries; (2) the Lender has not been subject to a final order from state securities, insurance, banking, savings association or credit union regulators or federal banking agencies, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the National Credit Union Administration (A) that would bar the Lender from associating with a regulated entity; engaging in the business of securities, insurance or banking; or engaging in savings association or credit union activities, or (B) that were based on fraudulent, manipulative or deceptive conduct and were issued within ten years of the issuance of this Note; (3) the Lender is not subject to any SEC disciplinary orders relating to brokers, dealers, municipal securities dealers, investment companies, investment advisers or their associated persons; (4) the Lender is not subject to any SEC cease-and-desist order arising out of any scienter-based anti-fraud violation
-12-
or violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act; (5) the Lender has not been suspended or expelled from membership in a self-regulatory organization; and (6) the Lender has not been subject to any SEC stop orders or orders suspending a Regulation A exemption issued within five years of the issuance of this Note.
6.7 Restricted Securities. The Lender understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Lender represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.
6.8 Acknowledgement of Bridge Offering. Each Lender acknowledges that this is a “bridge” offering to the Qualified Offering. The Company requires significant financing to fund its proposed business plan, and if the Qualified Offering is not completed for any reason, the Company will be unable to execute upon its proposed business plan and may be required to cease operations. As such, if the Qualified Offering does not occur, you will likely lose your entire investment. The completion of the Qualified Offering involves significant time and expense, and is dependent not only on the market for the Company’s securities, but also on the overall market for new offerings of securities. The Company can provide no assurance that the Qualified Offering will be completed on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, each Lender acknowledges that if the Qualified Offering is not completed prior to August 2018, the Company will likely be required to raise additional financing on terms that may be superior to the terms in this offering.
6.9 Legends. It is understood that the Securities may bear the following legend:
“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT.”
