CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

_____,

 

This Note is (or may be) one of a series of similar promissory notes issued by Advanced Inhalation Therapies (AIT) Ltd. (the “Company”), a private company registered in Israel, on or between the date hereof and the consummation of an Equity Round (together with this Note, the “Notes”). The aggregate principal amount under all the Notes shall be of not more than US$3,000,000. Upon execution of this Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) by the Company and the Holder and subject to the fulfillment of the conditions detailed in Section 1 herein, the Holder shall transfer an amount of US$_______ (the “Principal Amount”) to the Company, and the Company shall deposit such proceeds in a bank account of the Company in Leumi Bank (the "Bank"), established solely for purposes of receiving and holding in trust funds from the sale of the Notes (the "Trust Account") until such time as the Company has received an aggregate of at least $800,000 from the sale of Notes (the “Initial Closing”). Until the Initial Closing, the Company shall not use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes or commingle such funds with any other funds of the Company. The Principal Amount shall be deposited at the Bank in a type of a savings account in accordance with the written instructions of the Holder.

 

The Initial Closing shall take place within five (5) business days subject to the Holder receiving the documentation listed in Section 1 hereto, executed and delivered to the reasonable satisfaction of the Holder, provided, however, that if the Initial Closing has not occurred on or before May 12, 2014, the Principal Amount, plus any accrued interest thereto shall be returned to the Holder on the date set forth immediately above and this Note shall be automatically cancelled, unless the Holder informed the Company in writing that the Holder would like to waive the closing condition that the Company receive an aggregate of at least $800,000 from the sale of Notes. Moreover, should a Triggering Event occur prior to May 12, 2014 and on such date the Company failed to receive an aggregate of at least $800,000 from the sale of Notes, the Holder shall have the option to either demand that the Principal Amount, plus any accrued interest thereto be returned to the Holder and this Note shall be automatically cancelled, or inform the Company in writing that the Holder would like to waive the closing condition that the Company receive an aggregate of at least $800,000 from the sale of Notes, following which the Initial Closing shall occur. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Holder, with respect to itself, may consent in writing at any time after disbursing the Principal Amount by it to the Trust Account, that such Principal Amount disbursed by it be released to the Company and treated thereafter as if the Initial Closing occurred, irrespective if on such date the Company received an aggregate of $800,000 or more from the sale of Notes, or a Triggering Event has occurred, or the date which is May 12, 2014 has lapsed. After the Initial Closing, the Principal Amount received from the sale of the Notes may be used in accordance with Section 9 of this Note.

 

 

 

 

Conditioned upon the Initial Closing, and for value received, the Company hereby absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay to the order of ________ (such holder or any subsequent holder of this Note, the “Holder”) the Principal Amount, plus interest in arrears from and including the date such principal sum is actually paid to the Company, on the principal balance from time to time outstanding, at a rate per annum equal to eight percent (8%) per annum compounded annually, as set forth herein, on the earlier to occur of (i) December 12, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) or an Event of Default, unless this Note is earlier converted pursuant to Section 3 or 4 below.

3.           Mandatory Conversion.

 

(a)          If a Triggering Event (as defined below) shall have occurred before the Maturity Date, the unpaid Principal Amount outstanding under this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be automatically converted upon such Triggering Event into Conversion Shares (as defined below) at a price per share equal to the Discounted Conversion Price (as defined below), such Conversion Shares having the same rights, privileges and preferences as set forth under the Company's Articles of Association then in effect, and to the extent applicable, any shareholders rights agreement, share purchase agreement, and the equivalent thereof.

 

In this Note:

 

Conversion Shares” shall mean (i) if this Note is converted in connection with an Equity Round (as defined below), "Conversion Shares" shall mean the securities to be issued to the investors in such transaction, or (ii) if this Note is converted in connection with an Acquisition (as defined below), “Conversion Shares” shall mean the shares of the most senior class of shares of the Company outstanding at such time.

 

 

 

 

“Discounted Conversion Price” shall mean if the Note is converted in connection with an Acquisition (as defined below) or Equity Round, the lesser of: (i) the lowest price per share to be paid for the same securities of the Company issued to any third party or parties in such transaction (not including holders of the current series of Notes in connection with the conversion thereof) if an Equity Round, or sold (or to be distributed as a result of sale of assets) to the third party or parties in such transaction if an Acquisition, multiplied by 66.666%; and (ii) a price per share of US$0.680056, calculated in accordance with the valuation of the Company being US$13,333,333.

 

Triggering Event” shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the next round of financing or series of related financing transactions on or before the Maturity Date, in which the Company sells to investors shares for a specific price per share for the primary purpose of raising capital through an equity financing, for an aggregate consideration of at least US$2,000,000 (two million United States Dollars), including without limitation, the initial public offering of the Company (“Equity Round”), or (ii) the closing of a transaction for the sale of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the Company's merger with, consolidation into or consummation of a similar form of corporate reorganization with another entity where shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such event taken together hold less than one half of the outstanding voting rights in the surviving entity (“Acquisition”).

 

(b)          Number of Securities. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon mandatory conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a) shall equal to (i) the unpaid Principal Amount outstanding under this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the conversion date, divided by (ii) the Discounted Conversion Price.

 

(c)          Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of the Company will be issued pursuant to this Note; any fractional amount resulting from conversion as described above shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share, otherwise the Company shall pay to the Holder in cash any amount of the outstanding Principal Amount and interest thereon not converted into equity of the Company due to fractional shares.

 

(d)          Procedure of Conversion. Upon the Triggering Event, the Holder shall surrender the Note at the office of the Company or of its transfer agent for the applicable amount of Conversion Shares. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares into which the Note surrendered was convertible on the date on which such conversion occurred. Upon the conversion of the entire principal amount of this Note and the accrued interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this Section 3, this Note shall be deemed fully repaid and discharged, and, except as set forth in Section 5, 8(l), 8(m), and 8(n) hereof, the Company shall not have any further duties or obligations with respect thereto.

4.           Voluntary Conversion.

 

In the event that a Triggering Event shall not have occurred prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the right but not the obligation at its sole discretion, to require the Company, by written notice to be received by the Company no later than fourteen (14) days following the Maturity Date, to convert the Principal Amount together with the accrued interest thereon, into such number of the most senior class of shares of the Company then outstanding. The conversion thereof shall be equal to US$0.306025 per share (being the price per share under the Series A Preferred Share Purchase Agreement between the Company and certain Investors (as defined therein), dated as of November 5, 2012).

 

5.           Participation Right.

 

(a)          If, after a Triggering Event caused by an Equity Round, the Company should desire to issue equity securities in a round of financing or series of related financing transactions in which the Company sells to investors shares for a specific price per share for the primary purpose of raising capital through an equity financing, including without limitation, the initial public offering of the Company (“Next Equity Round”), it shall give the Holder the right to purchase an amount equal to the Principal Amount (“Allotted Amount”), of the securities to be issued to the investors in such Next Equity Round at a per share price equal to the Discounted Conversion Price. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing of its intention to sell and issue such securities, setting forth the terms under which it proposes to make such sale. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice, the Holder shall notify the Company in writing whether the Holder desires to purchase the Holder’s Allotted Amount, or any part thereof, of the equity securities so offered. If the Holder fails to deliver notice in writing within such ten (10) business day period of its election to purchase the Holder’s Allotted Amount (in whole or in part) of the offering of equity securities, then the Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Allotted Amount of such equity securities that it did not so elect to purchase. For clarification purposes, the Holder's obligation to purchase the Allotted Amount in compliance with the Holder's notification in writing to Company as set forth hereinabove, shall in any event be subject to the Company entering and consummating the Next Equity Round within the time frame set forth in Section 5(b) hereunder.

 

(b)          After expiration of the ten (10) business day period specified in Section 5(a) above, the Company may, during a period of ninety (90) days following the end of such period, sell and issue such equity securities as to which the Holder does not indicate a desire to purchase to another person upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the notice to the Holder. In the event the Company has not sold the equity securities, or has not entered into an agreement to sell the equity securities, within said ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any equity securities in a Next Equity Round without first offering such securities to the Holder in the manner provided above.

 

 

 

 

(c)          The participation rights set forth in this Section 5 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the consummation of one or more Next Equity Rounds in an aggregate amount of US$2,000,000 (two million United States Dollars), (b) the Holder’s purchase of its Allotted Amount in one or more Next Equity Rounds (c) the consummation of an Acquisition or (d) the initial public offering of the Company at an offering price per share reflecting a pre-money valuation of the Company of at least US$20,000,000 (a “Qualified IPO”), in such event, the provisions of Section 5(d) below shall apply.

 

(d)          In the event of a Qualified IPO of the Company, the Participation Right under this Section 5 above shall automatically expire, and the Company shall grant the Holder instead an option to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 0.01 in the Company according to the following terms (the “Option”):

 

(i) The Option shall have an aggregate cash exercise price, equal to the Principal Amount disbursed by the Holder to the Company under this Note.

 

(ii) The Option shall have an exercise price per Ordinary Share equal to the Discounted Conversion Price.

 

(iii) The Option shall be exercisable upon the consummation of the Qualified IPO and shall remain exercisable until the earlier of: (A) expiration of a 2 year period following the consummation of the Qualified IPO, and (B) consummation of an Acquisition of the Company.

 

(iv) The Option, the exercise thereof and the underlying Ordinary Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Option, shall be subject to customary restrictions under the then in effect articles of association of the Company, the stock exchange rules and regulations and applicable law, including, without limitation, customary “lock-up” period restricting sales of the underlying Ordinary Shares, and the Holder may be required to agree to abide by such customary “lock-up” period and execute applicable undertaking, as required by the underwriter, to the extent such requirement is applicable also to other shareholders of the Company.

 

(v) The Holder may at any time, assign the Option (or any part thereof), to any assignee of the Note (or the respective part thereof), in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of the Note (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Option may not be assigned separately (in whole or in part) without the assignment of the Note (in whole or in part)).

 

6.           Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless earlier converted pursuant to Section 3 (but subject to the foregoing in Section 4 above), any part or all of the then outstanding Principal Amount and interest accrued to the Holder shall become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of any of the following events and subject to the declaration by the holders of the majority Principal Amount under the Notes that such an event constitutes an event of default under this Note and all Notes (“Event of Default”): (a)  the adoption of a resolution by the Company to voluntary liquidate; (b) the commission of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (c) the filing of any petition or the commencement of any proceeding for any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or any laws relating to the relief of debtors without dismissal or stay for a period of ninety (90) days, or more; (d) the transaction of the business of the Company is suspended for a period longer than thirty (30) days; (e) any breach of this Note by the Company that is not cured within fourteen (14) days from the day the Company received a notice of such breach; or (f) a Trigger Event hasn’t occurred on or before December 12, 2017.

Each Transferee Note shall be made payable to such person or persons, or transferees, as the Holder may designate, and such transfer or exchange shall be made in such a manner that no gain or loss of principal or interest shall result therefrom.
