This Note Purchase Agreement (January 2019) (this “Agreement”) is by and between BioLife4D Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”). This Agreement shall be effective as of the date that it has been executed by both the Company and Subscriber (the “Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the sale and issuance of convertible promissory notes substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Note,” and collectively, the “Notes”), for the aggregate principal amount not in excess of the Offering Maximum (as defined below), pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement is one in a series of agreements of like kind pursuant to which the offering contemplated hereby is conducted; and
WHEREAS, Subscriber desires to purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to issue and sell to Subscriber, one or more Notes on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Subscriber hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. The following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings as used herein:
“Affiliate” means, with respect to Subscriber, (i) any other person or entity who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Subscriber, including without limitation any partner, member, manager, officer, director or employee of Subscriber or any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, such person or entity or (ii) any child, parent, spouse or other member of the same household of Subscriber who is a natural person referred to herein or a trust for the benefit of any such natural person.

2. Issuance of Notes. In return for the Consideration paid by Subscriber, the Company shall sell and issue to Subscriber, a Note having an original principal balance equal to the Consideration. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Subscriber shall pay to the Company the Consideration shown on the signature page hereto with respect to the Note and the Company shall issue a Note with respect to such Consideration. Each Note shall be convertible into Conversion Securities pursuant to the express terms and conditions of Subscriber’s Note.
C:
3. Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Note(s) to Subscriber shall take place at such time and place remotely via exchange of documents and signatures. The following closing conditions shall apply:
3.1 To subscribe for a Note, Subscriber must, and does hereby agree to, deliver to the Company: (i) a completed and executed counterpart of the signature page to this Agreement, (ii) a certified or personal check, subject to collection, in an amount equal to the Consideration, made payable to the order of the Company, or a wire transfer in such amount to such bank account as shall be designated by the Company, and (iii) an executed Note.
3.2 The closing may be held via an exchange of electronic copies of all closing documents. The Company may have more than one closing under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the Company may not sell Notes totaling, in the aggregate, greater than the Offering Maximum and (ii) the Company may not sell Notes after June 30, 2019.
4. Representations and Warranties of Subscriber. In connection with the transactions provided for herein, Subscriber, hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
4.1 Authorization. This Agreement constitutes Subscriber’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as it may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. Subscriber represents that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.
4.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Subscriber acknowledges that this Agreement is made with Subscriber in reliance upon Subscriber’s representation to the Company that the Note(s) and Conversion Securities (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for Subscriber’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Subscriber has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Subscriber further represents that Subscriber does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Securities.
4.3 Disclosure of Information. Subscriber acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. Subscriber further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company and its representatives regarding the Company and its business and prospects. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the only representations and warranties made by the Company to Subscriber are those made expressly in writing in Subscriber’s Note, and that Subscriber is not relying on any other representations, warranties or promises in connection with the investment contemplated herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber’s decision to enter into this Agreement is made in reliance solely upon its own judgment together with the advice of those advisors retained by Subscriber, if any.
C:
| C: 2 |
4.4 Investment Experience. Subscriber is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. Without limiting anything in this Section 4, Subscriber acknowledges that materials and information that may have been presented by the Company and its representatives may have included forward-looking statements, such as financial projections, business prospects and other such information, and that such information may not be accurate. Subscriber acknowledges that the forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results or outcome to be materially different from those anticipated and that may have been presented to Subscriber. Such risks include the Company’s nascent stage, customer acceptance and actual demand, which may differ significantly from expectations, the need for the Company to manage its growth, the need to raise funds for operations and other risks within the Company’s industry. Market trends and external developments are subject to change beyond the control of the Company and could materially adversely affect future results, business and operations. Subscriber has adequate means of providing for its current needs, personal and family contingencies, and has no need for liquidity in the investment contemplated hereby. Subscriber is familiar with the nature and extent of the risks inherent in investments in unregistered securities and has determined, either personally or in consultation with Subscriber’s purchaser representative or attorney, that an investment in the Company is consistent with Subscriber’s investment objectives and income prospects. Subscriber understands that the Company has incurred losses to date; that the Company may need to obtain additional capital through debt and/or equity financing to implement its business plan; and that there can be no assurance that such financing will be obtained or will be obtained on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Subscriber acknowledges and understands that there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to operate profitably in the future. Subscriber acknowledges and understands that the Company has not paid any distributions on its equity since its inception and, by reason of its present financial status and its contemplated financial requirements, does not contemplate or anticipate paying any distributions upon its equity in the foreseeable future.
4.5 Accredited Investor. Subscriber is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as presently in effect.
4.6 Restricted Securities. Subscriber understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.
5. Limitations on Disposition. Subscriber’s rights under this Agreement and/or any of the Notes shall not be transferable without prior written consent from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent shall not be required for the transfer of this Note to an Affiliate of Subscriber, provided that notice of such transfer is provided to the Company and such Affiliate agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Note(s) being transferred on the same basis as applicable to the transferring Subscriber.
C:
| 3 |
6. Information Rights. The Company shall provide to each holder of a Note (or any Conversion Securities), as soon as practicable, (i) unaudited annual financial statements and (ii) unaudited biannual financial statements. The Company shall further provide to each holder of a Note copies of all information that is provided to the Company’s shareholders.
7. Legends. It is understood that the Notes may bear the following legend:
“THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, NOR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET OR (ii) EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW ARE AVAILABLE.”
8. Company Covenant; Use of Proceeds. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it may not incur any additional debt or other indebtedness without approval of holders of at least 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Similar Notes (a “Majority in Interest”), except for (i) bona fide third-party debt from commercial lenders and equipment or capital lease financing and (ii) other ordinary course trade credits.
The Company shall use the proceeds of sale and issuance of the Notes to pursue the Company’s business plans, including, without limitation, working capital needed for the operations of its business.

FORM OF CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
[see attached]
C:
| S-3 |
THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE (THIS “NOTE”) AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, NOR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET OR (ii) EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW ARE AVAILABLE.
BIOLIFE4D CORPORATION
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE (JANUARY 2019)
_________ __, 2019
1. Principal. BioLife4D Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the order of ___________________________ (the “Holder”), the principal amount of $____________ on, _______________, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”); provided, however, that the Company may extend the Maturity Date, in its sole and absolute discretion, to _______________, 2024 (the “Extended Maturity Date”). The principal amount of this Note shall have been funded to the Company by the Holder on or before the date of this Note. This Note is issued as part of a series of similar convertible promissory notes (each a “Similar Note”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Note Purchase Agreement (January 2019), dated as of the date hereof (the “Note Agreement”). Any securities into which the Outstanding Amount (as defined below) is converted are referred to as “Conversion Securities.”
2. Interest. The Company promises to pay simple, non-compounding interest, on the basis of a 365-day year, on the outstanding principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum equal to: (i) 8.0%, from the date of this Note until the Maturity Date and (ii) 12.0%, from the Maturity Date until the Extended Maturity Date.
3. Repayment of Principal and Interest; Prepayment; Subordinated Debt. Except as set forth below in this Section 3, all unpaid and unconverted principal and interest on this Note (the “Outstanding Amount”) shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date if the Company extends the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 1. The Company may prepay, in whole, at its sole option and at any time prior to the Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date if the Company extends the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 1 (the “Applicable Maturity Date”), the Outstanding Amount; provided, however, that (i) if the Company prepays during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the one-year anniversary of the date hereof, then the Company shall pay a prepayment fee in an amount equal to 30% of the Outstanding Amount and (ii) if the Company prepays during the period beginning on the day after the one-year anniversary of the date hereof and ending on the two-year anniversary of the date hereof, then the Company shall pay a prepayment fee in an amount equal to 20% of the Outstanding Amount.
C:
4. Automatic Conversion on Qualified Financing. If, prior to the Applicable Maturity Date, the Company completes a financing (which may occur at one or more closings) in which it sells equity securities with an aggregate sales price of at least $7,500,000 (excluding amounts converted under the Note or Similar Notes) for the principal purpose of raising capital (a “Qualified Financing”), the Outstanding Amount will automatically convert (the “Qualified Financing Conversion”) into a number of securities issued at the closing(s) of such Qualified Financing (such securities, the “New Equity”) determined by dividing the Outstanding Amount by 80% of the price per share of the New Equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay all accrued and unpaid interest under the Note prior to any conversion to New Equity in accordance with Section 3 above. The Qualified Financing Conversion will occur concurrently with the funding of the Qualified Financing which causes the financing to meet or exceed the threshold amount for a Qualified Financing. At the closing of a Qualified Financing, the Holder shall, as reasonably requested by the Company, execute and deliver the same type of documentation as that executed and delivered by the investor(s) in the Qualified Financing transaction.
5. Optional Conversion. Prior the one-year anniversary of the date hereof, the Holder may, at its option, elect to convert the Outstanding Amount into a number of shares of common stock of the Company (such shares, the “Existing Equity”) determined by dividing the Outstanding Amount by 80% of the then-current price per share of the Existing Equity (the “Optional Conversion”). In order to convert this Note into the Existing Equity, the Holder shall deliver to the Company written notice of the Holder’s exercise of its option to convert this Note into Existing Equity.
6. Conversion Mechanics. Upon any conversion of this Note into Conversion Securities, the Holder will deliver this Note to the Company for cancellation, and the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the appropriate number of shares, as the case may be, or other appropriate evidence of Conversion Securities. The Holder shall execute and deliver documentation reasonably requested by the Company to effectuate the conversion. Conversion Securities shall not be issued in fractional shares upon any conversion effected pursuant to this Note. The Company shall deliver cash in lieu of any fractional shares.
7. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Note have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of the Company and that the Company has the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Note.
8. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Securities Law Compliance. The Holder understands and acknowledges that both this Note and any securities into which this Note may be converted have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Accordingly, the Holder understands that the Note and such securities must be held by the Holder indefinitely. The Holder is purchasing the Note for its own account for investment. The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, is able to incur a complete loss of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Holder is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
C:
| 2 |
(b) Access to Information. The Holder acknowledges that the Company has made its officers and representatives available for interview by the Holder and has furnished the Holder with all documents and other information requested by the Holder. The Holder acknowledges that the Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to any projections of the Company’s future operations or financial results. The Holder acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company are subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans are speculative in nature and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results.
(c) Confidentiality. The Holder agrees to keep confidential any materials provided to the Holder by the Company in connection with the issuance, holding or conversion of this Note.
9. Acceleration. The Outstanding Amount shall become immediately due and payable in full without any action on the part of the Holder if the Company (i) files for bankruptcy or receivership or is the subject of any involuntary proceeding under any such law, or (ii) defaults in its performance of any agreement or covenant under the Note Agreement or this Note.
10. Replacement Note. If this Note is lost or destroyed, the Company will issue a replacement Note upon receipt of an indemnity or other assurance reasonably requested by the Company to protect it from any loss that it may suffer by reason of such replacement or subsequent presentment of the original Note.
11. Notices; Delivery. All notices or other communications required or permitted under this Note shall be in writing and mailed, emailed or delivered to each party as follows: (a) if to the Holder, to the address set forth on the signature page hereof, or at such other address or email address as the Holder furnishes the Company in writing, or (b) if to the Company, to BioLife4D Corporation, 250 Parkway Drive Suite 150 Lincolnshire, IL 60069, Attention: Steven Morris, email address: smorris@biolife4d.com with a copy to Horwood Marcus & Berk Chartered, 500 W.

C:

13. Non-Waiver. The Holder’s failure to enforce or exercise any right or remedy provided in this Note shall not be construed as waiving the right to enforce or exercise such or any other right or remedy at any later date.
14. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.
15. Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any controversy or claim, action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note shall be brought in a State court in Cook County, Illinois or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, any Federal court located in such State and County, and EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO, AFTER CONSULTING WITH OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY, IN EACH CASE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CONTROVERSY, CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any controversy, claim, action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note, or the transactions contemplated hereby, in the courts of the State of Illinois or the United States of America, in each case located in Cook County, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such matter brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
16. Amendments. This Note may be amended only with the written consent of the Company and holders of more than 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Similar Notes (a “Majority in Interest”).
17. Severability. If any provision of this Note shall for any reason be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall not affect any other provision of this Note, and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain in full force and effect.
18. Assignment. The Company’s obligations under this Note may not be assigned without the consent of a Majority in Interest. The Holder may not assign, pledge or otherwise transfer its rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under this Note without the prior written consent of the Company. Subject to the foregoing, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and permitted transferees of the parties.
19. Counterparts. This Note may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

The Transaction Documents, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors and, with respect to rights to indemnity, subject to federal and state securities laws. The Conversion Securities, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of any liens or encumbrances and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and securities laws.

1.4. Governmental Consents and Filings. Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by the Subscriber in Section 4 of this Agreement, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of the Company in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement, the offer, sale or issuance of the Notes and the Conversion Securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby.
1.5. Compliance with Laws. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties, which violation would materially and adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or operations of the Company.
1.6. Compliance with Other Instruments. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation or default of any term of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, or of any provision of any mortgage, indenture or contract to which it is a party and by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ, other than such violations that would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.
1.7. Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in Section 4 of this Agreement, the offer, issue, and sale of the Notes and the Conversion Securities (collectively, the “Securities”) are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit, or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.
1.8. Litigation.

Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its stockholders, directors, officers or key employees is a party or is named as subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality.
1.9. Property. The property and assets that the Company owns are free and clear of all mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, loans and encumbrances, except for statutory liens for the payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and encumbrances and liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company’s ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in compliance with such leases and, to its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances other than those of the lessors of such property or assets.
