8.0% PAY IN KIND CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$2,775,000    May 24, 2021

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Intuity Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the undersigned holder or such party’s assigns (the “Holder”) the principal sum of $2,775,000 on March 31, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note (the “Interest”) at the rate and on the dates specified herein.

1. Interest. The Company promises to pay the Interest at the rate per annum of 8.0% (the “Interest Rate”), payable in-kind by the Company quarterly in arrears each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, commencing June 30, 2021 (each day on which interest shall be so payable, an “Interest Payment Date”). On each Interest Payment Date, Interest shall accrete and be considered additional principal of this Note for all purposes, and all references herein to the “principal” of this Note shall include all accreted interest. Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

2. Automatic Conversion upon Qualifying IPO or SPAC Transaction. In the event that the Company consummates, on or prior to the Maturity Date, a Qualifying IPO (as defined below), then the outstanding principal of this Note (including accreted interest as set forth above) shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into common stock of the Company or, in the case of a SPAC Transaction (as defined below), common stock of the SPAC (as defined below), at a conversion price equal to 80% of (i) the price per share of the Company’s common stock paid by the purchasers in the Qualifying IPO (which price shall be the “price to public” as set forth in the final prospectus relating to such IPO) or (ii) the lowest price per share of the SPAC’s common stock offered to investors in such SPAC Transaction (including the Company’s existing stockholders or other investors participating in any “private investment in public equity,” or PIPE, in connection with such SPAC Transaction). A “Qualifying IPO” is (i) a firm commitment underwritten public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Act (an “IPO”) in which the aggregate cash consideration paid to holders of the Company’s securities is at least $75,000,000 (before deduction of underwriters’ commissions and other offering expenses) or (ii) a SPAC Transaction in which the aggregate cash

 

1


consideration paid to holders of the Company’s securities is at least $75,000,000 (before deduction of advisors’ fees/commissions and other transaction expenses). A “SPAC Transaction” is a business combination transaction in which a special purpose acquisition company, blank check company or similar entity incorporated, formed or otherwise organized for the purpose of effecting a business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “SPAC”) is the parent or the successor of the Company following the transaction and in which the stockholders of the Company receive shares of common stock of the SPAC that are listed on a nationally recognized stock exchange and/or other forms of cash or non-cash consideration. The Company shall not effect any such SPAC Transaction, unless the relevant SPAC shall agree to assume, prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, (i) the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such shares of common stock of such SPAC as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to acquire pursuant to the conversion of this Note, and (ii) the other obligations of the Company under this Note.

3. Automatic Conversion upon Qualifying Financing. In the event that the Company issues and sells shares of its equity securities (“Equity Securities”) to investors (the “Investors”) on or before the Maturity Date in an equity financing with total cash proceeds to the Company of not less than $35,000,000 in the aggregate (whether in a single offering or series of related offerings) (a “Qualifying Financing”), then the outstanding principal of this Note (including accreted interest as set forth above) shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into Equity Securities sold in the Qualifying Financing at a conversion price equal to the cash price paid per share for Equity Securities by the Investors in the Qualifying Financing, multiplied by 0.80. Except as set forth in this Section 3, the issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to the conversion of this Note shall be upon and subject to the substantively similar general terms and conditions applicable to Equity Securities sold in the Qualifying Financing.

4. Optional Conversion upon Non-Qualifying IPO or Non-Qualifying Financing. In the event the Company consummates, on or before the Maturity Date, an IPO or a SPAC Transaction that does not constitute a Qualifying IPO or issues and sells Equity Securities in a transaction that does not constitute a Qualifying Financing (a “Non-Qualifying Equity Raise”), then the Holder shall have the option to treat such IPO or SPAC Transaction as a Qualifying IPO or such Non-Qualifying Equity Raise as a Qualifying Financing on the same terms set forth herein.

5. Maturity Date Automatic Conversion. In the event that this Note remains outstanding on the Maturity Date, then on such date the outstanding principal of this Note (including accreted interest as set forth above) shall be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s then-latest round of outstanding equity securities at a conversion price equal to the lowest price per share paid by the purchasers of such equity securities in such round (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to such equity securities).

6. Procedure for Conversion. In connection with any conversion of this Note into capital stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and deliver to the Company any documentation reasonably required by the Company (including, in the case of a Qualified Financing, financing documents executed by the Investors in connection with such Qualified

Financing). The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the capital stock into which this Note may convert until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company and delivered to the Company any such documentation. Upon the conversion of this Note into capital stock pursuant to the terms hereof, any fraction of a share will be rounded down to the next whole share. No payment will be made to the Holder in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled, and such amounts shall be extinguished without any further payment on the part of the Company.

7. Repayment upon Deemed Liquidation. If the Company consummates a Deemed Liquidation (as defined below) while this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall repay the Holder in cash in an amount equal to (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note (including accreted interest), plus (ii) a repayment premium equal to 25% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note (including accreted interest), in full satisfaction of all amounts due under this Note. For purposes of this Note, a “Deemed Liquidation” means the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other entity or entities which results in the exchange of outstanding shares of the Company for securities or other consideration issued or paid or caused to be issued or paid by any such entity or affiliate thereof (other than a merger to reincorporate the Company in a different jurisdiction) in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation or merger do not own a majority of the voting power of the Company or the surviving corporation immediately after such consolidation or merger, or any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which a majority of the Company’s voting power is transferred (for clarity, a bona fide equity financing transaction or series of related transactions of the Company for capital raising purposes shall not constitute such a transfer), or the sale, exclusive license, lease, abandonment, transfer or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all its assets; provided that a Deemed Liquidation shall not include a SPAC Transaction that constitutes a Qualifying IPO under Section 2 or that is treated by the Holder as a Qualifying IPO under Section 4. The Company shall give the Holder notice of a Deemed Liquidation not less than 10 business days prior to the anticipated date of consummation of the Deemed Liquidation. Any repayment pursuant to this paragraph in connection with a Deemed Liquidation shall be subject to any required tax withholdings, and may be made by the Company (or any party to such Deemed Liquidation or its agent) following the Deemed Liquidation in connection with payment procedures established in connection with such Deemed Liquidation.

8. Interest Accrual. If a Deemed Liquidation, Qualified IPO, IPO, SPAC Transaction, Qualified Financing or Non-Qualifying Equity Raise (in the case of a Non-Qualifying Equity Raise or an IPO or a SPAC Transaction that is not a Qualified IPO, in which the Holder elects to convert this Note) is consummated, all interest on this Note shall be deemed to have stopped accruing as of a date selected by the Company that is up to 10 days prior to the consummation of such Deemed Liquidation, Qualified IPO, IPO, SPAC Transaction, Qualified Financing or Non-Qualifying Equity Raise.

9. Events of Default. This Note shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand upon the occurrence at any time of any of the following events of default:

11. Delays or Omissions.

12. Waivers. The Company and every endorser or guarantor of this Note, regardless of the time, order or place of signing, hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notices of every kind and assents to any permitted extension of the time of payment and to the addition or release of any other party primarily or secondarily liable hereunder.
