US $____________

 

This Promissory Note (the “Note”) is issued as of ______________ by Cryoport, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), to ___________ (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Holder”) with an address of __________________ pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

ARTICLE I.

 

Section 1.01 Principal and Interest. The Company hereby promises to pay on the Maturity Date specified in Section 1.02 the principal sum of US $_________ and interest on such principal balance at the annual rate of five percent (5%).

 

Section 1.02 Maturity Date. All unpaid principal and accrued interest hereunder shall be paid on June 30, 2014.

 

Section 1.03 Optional Conversion to Preferred Stock.

 

(a) Equity Offering. The Company is currently in negotiations with prospective investors for the issuance by the Company of equity securities. These securities may be common stock or preferred stock and may or may not involve the issuance of warrants to purchase equity in the Company. The terms of such equity securities have yet to be established and there can be no assurance that such equity securities will be issued. In the event, however, that the Company shall issue one or more types of equity securities (a “Transaction”) before the maturity of this Note, the Company shall in each event notify the Holder in writing within ten (10) days of such issuance of the terms of the Transaction and the Holder shall have the option until ten (10) days after such notice to convert all or a portion of the principal and accrued interest under this Note into the equity securities that were issued by the Company at a per share (or per unit) price that is equal to 90% of the per share (or per unit) price offered in such Transaction, but otherwise on the same terms that the Company issued said securities in such Transaction. The Company shall not issue fractional shares upon a conversion. If the application of the conversion price shall contemplate issuance of less than a half share, such fractional share shall not be issued and no payment shall be made to the converting Holder and should such application result in the issuance of a half or greater fractional share, such fractional share shall be rounded up to the next full share.

 

 
 

 

(b) Company Discretion.

 

(i) At any time after January 31, 2014, the Company may, but is not required to, offer the Holder the right to convert all or a portion of the principal and accrued interest under this Note into units consisting of shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) and a warrant to purchase additional shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of the Common Stock issued upon conversion will be based on a conversion price that is equal to 70% of the average VWAP (as defined below) of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of such offer. For each share of Common Stock issued in such conversion, the Holder will be issued the right to purchase, pursuant to a warrant, one share of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the 110% of such average VWAP. Such warrant will expire approximately five years from issuance and will otherwise be in the same form as the warrant issued to the Holder in connection with the issuance of this Note. If the Company decides to make such an offer, the Company shall in each event notify the Holder in writing and the Holder shall have the option until ten (10) days after such notice to convert all or a portion of the principal and accrued interest under this Note into Units pursuant to the terms of such notice. The Company shall not issue fractional shares upon a conversion. If the application of the conversion price shall contemplate issuance of less than a half share, such fractional share shall not be issued and no payment shall be made to the converting Holder and should such application result in the issuance of a half or greater fractional share, such fractional share shall be rounded up to the next full share.

 

(ii) “VWAP” means the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Stock for the applicable period (which must be calculated utilizing days in which the Common Stock actually trade); the VWAP shall be determined by dividing the aggregate sale price of all Common Stock sold on the applicable exchange or market, as the case may be, over the applicable period by the total number of Common Stock so sold.

 

(c) Restrictive Legend. The certificates evidencing the Common Stock may bear the following or any similar legend (in addition to any other legends that may be required):

ARTICLE III.
