CONVERTIBLE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS CONVERTIBLE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made as of July 27, 2010, by and among GeNO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Company), and the purchasers (each individually a Purchaser, and collectively the Purchasers) named on the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Schedule of Purchasers).
WHEREAS, the Purchasers desire to loan the Company capital in an aggregate principal amount of up to $5,000,000 (the Total Committed Principal Amount).
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Definitions; Sale and Issuance of the Notes.
1.1 Definitions. As used in this Agreement, terms not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit B attached to this Agreement.
1.2 Sale and Issuance of the Notes. Each Purchaser agrees to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser a Note in the amount equal to the Purchasers Committed Principal Amount.
1.3 Closing. The closing (the Closing) of the purchase and sale of the Notes shall take place at the offices of Goulston & Storrs, P.C., 400 Atlantic Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 at 10:00 a.m. Boston time on July 27, 2010, or at such other date as the Company and the Purchasers mutually agreed upon, orally or in writing (such date, the Closing Date).
1.4 Agreements. Each Purchaser of a Note shall become a party to this Agreement by executing a counterpart signature page hereto and shall be entitled to receive a Note in accordance with this Agreement.
1.5 Advances. From time to time, the Company may request an Advance under all of the Notes in writing (including by email), and each Purchaser shall advance, within five (5) business days of the request, the Purchasers Pro Rata Share of the aggregate of all Advances. If a Purchaser fails to timely advance the Purchasers Pro Rata Share of any such Advance, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have forfeited the Purchasers right to convert the Purchasers Outstanding Loan Amount into Conversion Shares and to receive New Equity Warrants at the closing of a New Equity Financing pursuant to Section 2.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a defaulting Purchaser shall have the right to receive repayment of the Purchasers Outstanding Loan Amount under the Purchasers Note at the Maturity Date.
2. Terms of the Notes.
2.1 Financing, License or Sale Event.
(a) New Equity Financing. In the event a New Equity Financing occurs prior to the Maturity Date, each Purchaser shall have the option (a) to receive repayment of all or some of the Purchasers Outstanding Loan Amount and/or (b) to convert all or some of the Purchasers Outstanding Loan Amount into Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Purchasers Outstanding Loan Amount on the date of conversion by (ii) the Conversion Price. In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall also issue to each Purchaser a New Equity Warrant to purchase such number of Equity Securities as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) 20% of such Purchasers Committed Principal Amount by (ii) the New Equity Share Price. At least ten (10) days prior to the closing of a New Equity Financing, the Company shall notify the Purchasers in writing of the terms under which the Equity Securities of the Company will be sold in a New Equity Financing. The issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the conversion of each Note and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the New Equity Warrants shall be upon, and subject to, the same terms and conditions applicable to the Equity Securities sold in a New Equity Financing.
(b) Extraordinary Transaction. In the event an Extraordinary Transaction occurs on or before the Maturity Date (and prior to the New Equity Financing), each Purchaser shall have the option (a) to receive repayment of all of the Purchasers Outstanding Loan Amount and/or (b) to receive a multiple of the applicable Committed Principal Amount based upon the Value of the Transaction as follows:
(i) 1.5 times the applicable Committed Principal Amount for an Extraordinary Transaction valued at $50 million or less;
(ii) 5.0 times the applicable Committed Principal Amount for an Extraordinary Transaction valued at $400 million or more; and
(iii) a multiple of the applicable Committed Principal calculated on a linear basis (and to the nearest one-one thousandth of a decimal (0.000)) for an Extraordinary Transaction valued at more than $50 million and less than $400 million.
(c) No Fractional Shares. Upon the conversion of a Note into Conversion Shares, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of the Note would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the Purchaser cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.
(d) Other Agreements. Each Purchaser understands and agrees that the conversion of the Purchasers Note into Conversion Shares and the exercise of the applicable New Equity Warrant for Warrant Shares may require the Purchasers execution of certain agreements in the form agreed to by investors in a New Equity Financing, including restrictions regarding, among other things, registration rights, co-sale rights, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer and voting rights, relating to such securities, and the Companys then current Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (LLC Operating Agreement).
- 2 -
(e) Mechanics of Conversion. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the Purchaser has surrendered the Purchasers Note to the Company for cancellation. Conversion may be made contingent upon the closing of a New Equity Financing.
(f) Mechanics of Exercise. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the Warrant Shares until the Purchaser has surrendered the Purchasers New Equity Warrant to the Company.
2.2 Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be considered an event of default (each, an Event of Default) with respect to each Note:
(a) The Company shall default in the payment of any part of any of the Outstanding Loan Amounts on the Notes for more than thirty (30) days after the Maturity Date or at a date fixed by acceleration or otherwise;
(b) The Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or shall file a voluntary petition for bankruptcy, or shall file any petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file any answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against the Company in any such proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company, or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company, or the Company or its respective managers or majority shareholders shall take any action looking to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; or
(c) Within ninety (90) days after the commencement of any proceeding against the Company seeking any bankruptcy reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or within sixty (60) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of the Company of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company, such appointment shall not have been vacated.
2.3 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option and upon the declaration of the Majority Note Holders, the entire Outstanding Loan Amount on all of the Notes shall, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, be forthwith due and payable, and such holders may, immediately and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce payment of all amounts due and owing under the Notes and exercise any and all other remedies granted to it at law, in equity or otherwise.

3.3 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not (a) in violation of any provision of its Certificate of Formation or LLC Operating Agreement, (b) in violation of or default under any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or (c) in violation of or default under any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, except, in the case of (b) and (c), such violations or defaults that will not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the assets, condition, prospects or affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, financially or otherwise (Material Adverse Effect). Neither the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the issuance and delivery of the Notes will constitute or result in a material default or violation of any law or regulation applicable to the Company or any material term or provision of the Companys current Certificate of Formation or LLC Operating Agreement or any material agreement or instrument by which it is bound or to which its properties or assets are subject.
- 4 -
3.4 Valid Issuance of Shares.

The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.
4.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account.
