PROMISSORY NOTE
In the amount of $1,500,000.00 USD | April 28, 2020 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Titan Medical Inc., a corporation organized under the Laws of Ontario (“Borrower”), subject to the Advance being made pursuant to Section 1(a) below, promises to pay to the order of [Redacted] (“Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000.00) (the “Original Principal Amount”), together with interest thereon, as set forth herein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note have the meanings set forth in Annex A attached hereto.
Section 1. | Advance. |
(a) Lender promises to pay to Borrower, within one (1) Business Day following the issuance of this Note, an advance equal to the Original Principal Amount, in cash in United States Dollars via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by Borrower (the “Advance”). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, in no event will the aggregate principal amount advanced under this Note (but excluding any accrued interest capitalized into the principal amount pursuant hereto) exceed the Original Principal Amount.
(b) As a condition to the funding of the Advance, the following conditions must be satisfied, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, as of the date of this Note:
(i) no Event of Default exists, and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice to Borrower or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default;
(ii) the representations and warranties of Borrower in this Note are true and correct;
(iii) Borrower has executed the Security Agreement; and
(iv) Borrower has entered into a Letter Agreement with each of [Redacted] and [Redacted], each in form and substance acceptable to Lender (the “Creditor Agreements”).
The foregoing conditions are referred to collectively herein as the “Advance Conditions.” Upon the issuance of this Note, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certificate duly executed by the Chief Executive Officer of Borrower certifying that the Advance Conditions have been satisfied.
Section 2. | Payment of Interest and Principal. |
(a) Interest shall accrue daily on the unpaid principal balance under this Note at an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”), commencing on the date of funding of the Advance and continuing until repaid in full, and shall be compounded annually. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance at an interest rate equal to the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum. All interest accruing hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, if during any period for which interest is computed hereunder, the amount of interest computed on the basis provided for in this Note, together with all fees, charges and other payments which are treated as interest under applicable Law, as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, would exceed the amount of such interest computed on the basis of the Highest Lawful Rate, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay, and Lender shall not be entitled to charge, collect, receive, reserve or take interest together with all fees, charges and other payments which are treated as interest under applicable Law in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, and during any such period the interest payable hereunder, together with all fees, charges and other payments which are treated as interest under applicable Law, shall be computed on the basis of the lower of the Interest Rate and the Highest Lawful Rate.
(c) The unpaid principal balance owing hereunder, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and all other unpaid obligations hereunder (the sum of such amounts, at the applicable time, the “Balance”), shall be due and payable in full on the earliest to occur of: (i) the three (3)-year anniversary of the issuance of this Note, (ii) a Change of Control, or (iii) a Qualified Financing. Borrower may prepay this Note at any time in whole or in part without fee or penalty. Borrower may not reborrow previously repaid amounts hereunder.
(d) Any and all payments by Borrower under this Note shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by applicable Laws, in which case the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all such deductions or withholdings for Taxes have been made Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings had been made.
(e) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest is calculated using a rate based on a period that is less than a calendar year, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on the period that is less than a calendar year, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the period that is less than a calendar year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
Section 3. | Manner of Payments. |
Payments of principal of, and interest on, this Note, and all fees, expenses and other obligations hereunder, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m., Central Standard Time, on the date(s) due, via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of Lender in cash in United States Dollars pursuant to instructions to be provided to Borrower prior to the payment date. Funds received on any day after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of any interest or fees.

Section 4. | Application of Payments. |
Any payment hereunder shall be applied first to any unpaid fees and expenses due hereunder, then to unpaid and accrued interest under this Note and then to the reduction of principal balance of this Note.
Section 5. | Use of Proceeds. |
Subject to the other terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Note, the proceeds of this Note shall be used by Borrower to fund the continued development of its robotics system, to make payments to suppliers, vendors and consultants in the ordinary course of business (including payments to [Redacted] and [Redacted] as contemplated by their Creditor Agreements), to pay transaction expenses related to, and to [Redacted] and for the ongoing general corporate and working capital purposes of the Borrower. Borrower shall not use the proceeds of this Note to pay dividends or make other distributions with respect to its shares to its stockholders, to repay indebtedness for borrowed money, to make capital expenditures outside of the ordinary course of business, to settle or compromise claims by third parties or for any purpose prohibited by applicable Law.

5
(f) Government Regulation. Borrower will not (i) be or become subject at any time to any Law or list of any Governmental Entity (including, without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control list) that prohibits or limits Lender from making any advance or extension of credit to Borrower or from otherwise conducting business with Borrower, or (ii) fail to provide documentary and other evidence of Borrower’s identity as may be reasonably requested by Lender at any time to enable Lender to verify Borrower’s identity or to comply with any applicable Law, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C.

Section 11. | Confidentiality; Public Announcements. |
As the issuance of this Note is considered by Borrower to be a material event, Lender hereby consents to Borrower’s publication of a press release in the form previously approved by Lender. In all other respects, the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, hold in confidence and not disclose to any third party any information about this Note, the terms and conditions hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Confidential Information”). In the event a party is requested or required (by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall notify the other party promptly of the request or requirement so that such other party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.

Section 12. | Waiver; Amendment. |
No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising any power or right under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The remedies herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law. No notice to or demand on Borrower not required under this Note shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of the holder of this Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Note or consent to any departure therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and Borrower, and then such amendment, modifications, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instances for which given.
Section 13. | Fees, Expenses, Costs of Collection. |
Borrower shall be responsible for all reasonable, out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement of this Note, including the collection of the amounts due and payable hereunder.
