OPTMED DIR BN NO.: BN-___

Issuance Date: See Exhibit B

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Optmed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) with its principal executive office at 601 Lexington Avenue (51st Floor), New York, NY 10022, promises to pay to the order of ___________ (the “Payee” or the “Holder”) with its address for notice purposes under this convertible promissory note (this “Note”), at ______________________, or registered assigns, the aggregate principal amount as stated in Exhibit B hereto (the “Principal Amount”) on the earlier to occur of (i) March 1, 2016, and (ii) upon the closing of any debt and/or equity offering (a “Qualified Offering”) by the Company and the receipt in such Qualified Offering by the Company of no less than $5,000,000 of gross proceeds (the first to occur of (i) and (ii) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Maturity Date”). The Principal Amount is payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Interest on this Note shall accrue on the Principal Amount outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum computed in accordance with Section 1 hereof.

 

Each payment by the Company pursuant to this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds.

 

The Company (i) waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note and (ii) agrees, in the event of an Event of Default (as defined below), to pay to the holder of this Note, on demand, all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement and collection of this Note.

 

This Note is convertible into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) as provided elsewhere herein.

 

1. Computation of Interest.

 

a. Base Interest Rate. Subject to Section 1B below, the outstanding Principal Amount shall bear interest at the rate of five and one-quarter percent (5.25%) per annum based upon a 360 day year. All interest on this Note shall accrue and be payable on the Maturity Date or as otherwise expressly provided in this Note.

B. Maximum Rate. In the event that it is determined that, under the laws relating to usury applicable to the Company or the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (“Applicable Usury Laws”), the interest charges and fees payable by the Company in connection herewith or in connection with any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith cause the effective interest rate applicable to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to exceed the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Maximum Rate”), then such interest shall be recalculated for the period in question and any excess over the Maximum Rate paid with respect to such period shall be credited, without further agreement or notice, to the Principal Amount outstanding hereunder to reduce said balance by such amount with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Payee had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment. All such deemed prepayments shall be applied to the principal balance payable at maturity. In no event shall any agreed-to or actual exaction as consideration for this Note exceed the limits imposed or provided by Applicable Usury Laws in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident applicable to the use or detention of money or to forbearance in seeking its collection in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident.

 

2. Conversion

 

A. Conversion. At any time and from time to time after the Issuance Date, at the request of the Holder (the “Conversion Election”), this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part (subject to the conversion limitations set forth elsewhere herein), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) as is determined by dividing (i) the sum of the Principal Amount, accrued but unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder sought to be converted by the Holder in a Conversion Election by (ii) $0.60 (the “Conversion Price”). The Holder shall effect a Conversion Election by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the Principal Amount, accrued but unpaid interest, and all other amounts due hereunder, to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed received by the Company. To effect a Conversion Election hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the amount due hereunder on a dollar for dollar basis as follows: first to all amounts due hereunder other than the Principal Amount and accrued interest, then to accrued interest and then to the Principal Amount. The Company shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount, accrued interest and other amounts due hereunder converted and the dates of such conversions. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within two (2) business days of receipt of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

B. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay in cash any remainder resulting from after the number of whole shares of Common Stock is determined as a result of any conversion. If the Company elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share of Common Stock, one whole share of Common Stock.

C. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of changes in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of a reverse or forward split of the Common Stock or reorganization of the Company, the Conversion Shares subject to the Note and Conversion Price shall be correspondingly adjusted.

 

D. No Rights as Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
