THIS NOTE, AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR SOLD IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR THE LAWS OF THE APPLICABLE STATE OR A “NO ACTION” OR INTERPRETIVE LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, AND ITS COUNSEL, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND SUCH STATE STATUTES.
This Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Note (the “Note”) is a duly authorized issue of an Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Notes of ProLung, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). This Note is issued in part pursuant to and in accordance with the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of, and/or Regulation D promulgated under, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”)
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to __________________________or the permitted registered holder hereof (the “Holder”), the principal sum of US$____________ _____________), as adjustment for partial prepayments and similar events (the “Principal Amount”), plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Principal Amount. The Maturity Date of the Note is the earlier to occur of (a) second anniversary of the Issue Date first set forth above, which Issue Date shall correspond to the date (i) the initial Holder had paid the purchase price for the Note, and (ii) the Company had accepted the subscription of the initial Holder, and (b) the closing of any transaction in which substantially all of the business and assets of the Company have been acquired by another person, whether structured as an asset purchase, merger or secondary stock purchase, except to the extent that stockholders of the Company prior to such transaction own a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the acquiring person (or parent of the acquiring person) following such transaction.
Interest shall accrue from the Issue Date upon the Principal Amount at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum based upon a 365-day year. The Principal Amount of, and accrued interest under, this Note is payable in U.S. dollars at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder in the Holder’s subscription documents, as this may be updated from time to time.
At maturity of the Note, the Company will pay in full all principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Note. All or any portion of this Note may be prepaid without penalty upon ten (10) days advanced written notice by the Company. Prepayments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and second to the Principal Amount. If the maturity date is due to closing of any transaction in which substantially all of the business and assets of the Company have been acquired by another person, whether structured as an asset purchase, merger or secondary stock purchase repayment will be under the Mandatory Conversion provisions mentioned below at 1(b).

The forwarding of a check shall constitute a payment of principal and interest hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal and interest on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check.
This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:
1. Conversion of Notes.
a. Optional Conversion. The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, to convert all, but not less than all, of the Principal Amount into shares of common stock of the Company (an “Optional Conversion”) at a conversion price for each share of common stock equal to Six Dollars and Thirty Cents ($6.30) (as equitably adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or recapitalizations, the “Conversion Price”). In connection with an Optional Conversion, the notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”) completed and executed by the Holder evidencing such Xxxxxx’s intention to convert the Note must be given to the Company as provided below not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date. A conversion pursuant to this Section 1.a shall be referred to as an “Optional Conversion.”
b. Mandatory Conversion. If at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company completes an initial registered public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock, all unpaid Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid interest shall, without any action on the part of the Holder, automatically be converted into common stock of the Company at a conversion price for each share of common stock equal to the lower of (i) the Conversion Price, and (ii) 90% of the price at which shares are sold to the public in the IPO. A conversion pursuant to this Section 1.b shall be referred to as a “Mandatory Conversion.”
Conversion Mechanics. In connection with any Optional Conversion or Mandatory Conversion, the number of shares of common stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing (i) the sum of the Principal Amount of the Note plus accrued but unpaid interest, by (ii) the applicable conversion price. Conversion of this Note into shares of common stock in an Optional Conversion shall be affected by surrendering the Note to be converted to the Company, together with a Notice of Conversion. The effective date of any Optional Conversion hereunder shall be the date this Note and such Notice of Conversion are both received by the Company, whether by personal delivery, mail or express courier, in each case addressed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address of the Company. In connection with a Mandatory Conversion, the Note will be deemed to have been converted as of the closing of the IPO; provided however, the Company will not issue the shares issuable upon such conversion until the original Note has been surrendered to the Company.
Issuance of Shares; Fractional Shares. Upon conversion of the Note, the Company shall issue within the five (5) business days of the date the original Note (and the Notice of Conversion in connection with an Optional Conversion) has been surrendered to the Company (the “Deadline”), deliver to or upon the order of the Holder one or more certificates (the “Certificates”) representing that number of shares of shares of common stock into which the Note converted, as shall be determined in accordance herewith. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of shares of common stock will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares of common stock issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share (with .5 or greater being rounded up and less than .5 rounded down). Except as permitted under Section 4(a)(1) under the 1933 Act, as a result of the application of Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (“Rule 144”), shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of this Note Payable shall be issued with the following, or a comparable, legend:
