| US$[ ] | March 13, 2015 |
USMD Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of [ ] or his/her/its assigns (the “Holder”), at the time and in the manner hereinafter provided, the principal sum of [ ] (US$[ ]). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement dated on or about the date hereof.
1. Payment.
(a) Principal Amount. The outstanding principal amount of this Note together with all interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable on September 1, 2020.
(b) Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of 7.75% per annum. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on April 30, 2015, and thereafter on the last day of each month, until the principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued interest thereon, has been paid in full. Interest under this Note shall accrue based on the actual number of days elapsed in a year assumed to consist of 365 days. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined herein), and for so long as such Event of Default continues, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of this Note at the rate of 9.25% per annum.
(c) Manner of Payment. Payment shall be made, at the Company’s option (i) in cash by immediately available funds in accordance with the written wire transfer instructions supplied by the Holder from time to time to the Company, or (ii) in shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”). If the Company elects to make an interest payment in shares of Common Stock, the Company will issue to the Holder on the interest payment date the number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (A) the amount of accrued interest to be paid on the applicable interest payment date, by (B) the “Closing Price” on the first trading
day immediately preceding such interest payment date. As used herein, “Closing Price” shall mean the closing price of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then quoted or listed or admitted to trading, or (if not so available) a price determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a board resolution.
2. Prepayment. Subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part from time to time on and after March 13, 2016 upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Holder. Any partial prepayment shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest hereon, if any, with the remainder of any such prepayment being applied to the reduction of principal.
3. Conversion.
(a) Right of Conversion; Procedures for Conversion. Subject to the prior receipt of any approvals required by applicable federal and state securities laws and the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market or other applicable securities exchange, and so long as the conversion (considered together with the receipt of any shares pursuant to a prior conversion of a portion of the Note other notes) would not result in the cumulative issuance by the Company to holders of these Notes of an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that equals or exceeds 20% of the aggregate shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding on the date of such conversion date, the Holder shall have the right at any time after March 13, 2016 to convert all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of this Note into that number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing the principal amount to be converted by a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to $12.02, subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions hereof. In order to exercise the right of conversion, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company at its principal offices, accompanied by a completed Conversion Notice (in the form of Exhibit A hereto) notifying the Company that the Holder elects to convert all or a portion of this Note into shares of Common Stock (such shares issued upon conversion being referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares”). The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to this Note (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth in this Section 3(a) have been satisfied (such date, the “Conversion Date”), and the person in whose name any Conversion Shares shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on the Conversion Date the holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, however, that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the person in whose name the certificates are to be issued as the record holder thereof for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date upon which this Note shall be surrendered.
(b) Payment of Interest upon Conversion. The Company shall pay in cash, upon the surrender of this Note (or portion thereof) for conversion during the period from the close of business on any interest payment date to which interest has been fully paid through the close of business on the business day preceding the next such interest payment date, all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on this Note (or portion thereof surrendered for conversion) accruing prior to, but excluding, the Conversion Date. Any such payment of interest shall be made with respect to this Note within five business days after the Conversion Date. Except as provided in
2
this Section 3(b), no adjustment shall be made for interest accrued on the portion of this Note converted or for dividends on any shares issuable upon the conversion of this Note as provided in this Section 3.
(c) Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Conveyance. If the Company at any time shall consolidate or merge with, or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, any other corporation (each of which shall constitute a “Major Event”), the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase at the Conversion Price then in effect such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Major Event upon or with respect to this Note immediately prior to such Major Event. The Company shall take such steps in connection with such Major Event as may be necessary to assure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after a Major Event.
(ii) Stock Dividend, Reclassification, etc. If the Company shall (A) pay a dividend in or make a distribution of shares of its capital stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, (C) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (D) issue any securities in a reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), the number of Conversion Shares shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares or other securities of the Company which the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted and the Conversion Shares been issued pursuant to this Section 3 immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto.
4. Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the payment of any interest due and owing in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1(c) or upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3. If any fractional share of stock otherwise would be issuable upon such payment or conversion, the Company shall calculate and pay a cash adjustment in lieu of such fractional share at the current market value thereof to the Holder. The current market value of a share of Common Stock shall be the Closing Price on the first trading day immediately preceding the interest payment date or the date on which this Note is deemed to have been converted, as the case may be.

5. Transfers of the Note.
(a) Transfers Generally. This Note may not be transferred to any person without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
