FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, NEOPROBE
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
“Borrower” ), hereby promises to pay to
the order of _________________ (“__________”), a
______________, or its registered assigns (the
“Holder” ), the principal sum of
__________________________ DOLLARS ($____________) together with
interest as hereinafter provided. The Borrower promises to pay the
principal sum and the interest thereon at the time(s) and in the
manner(s) hereinafter provided.
1.
Purchase
Agreement . This Convertible Promissory Note (the
“Note” ) is issued by the Borrower, as
of the date hereof, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated as of December 13, 2004 by and among the Borrower, Biomedical
Value Fund, L.P., Biomedical Offshore Value Fund, Ltd. and David C.
Bupp, as amended by Amendment (the
“Amendment” ) dated as of November 30,
2006 (as so amended by the Amendment, the “Purchase
Agreement” ), and is subject to the terms thereof.
This Note, together with all other promissory notes issued under
the Purchase Agreement, and all promissory notes issued pursuant to
paragraph 12 hereof or thereof are hereinafter referred to as the
“Notes.” The obligations of Borrower
under this Note are secured pursuant to a Security Agreement dated
December 13, 2004 by and among the Borrower, Biomedical Value Fund,
L.P., Biomedical Offshore Value Fund, Ltd. and David C. Bupp. The
Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Note and the Purchase
Agreement, as it relates to the Note and the Security Agreement,
and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained herein and
therein and exercise the remedies provided for hereby and thereby
or otherwise available in respect hereto and thereto. Capitalized
terms used herein without definition are used herein with the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase
Agreement.
(i) The Borrower promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at the rate of 8% per annum, which
shall increase to 12% per annum effective on (and including) the
date of the Amendment. The Borrower shall pay accrued interest
quarterly on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31
of each year or, if any such date shall not be a Business Day, on
the next succeeding Business Day to occur after such date (each
date upon which interest shall be so payable, an
“Interest Payment Date” ), beginning on
December 31, 2004. Interest on this Note shall be paid by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank
designated in writing by the Holder. In the absence of any such
written designation, any such Interest payment shall be deemed made
on the date a check in the applicable amount payable to the order
of Holder is received by the Holder at its last address as
reflected in Borrower’s note register; if no such address
appears, then to such Holder in care of the last address in such
note register of any predecessor holder of this Note (or its
predecessor). Interest on this Note shall accrue from and including
the date of issuance through and until repayment of the principal
and payment of all accrued interest in full. Interest shall accrue
and be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.
(ii) The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding,
if on any Interest Payment Date the Current Market Price per share
of Common Stock is equal to or greater than $1.00, at
Borrower’s election, the interest then due may be accrued and
not paid by the Borrower on such Interest Payment Date and the
aggregate of such amount so accrued shall be added to the principal
sum hereof on such Interest Payment Date as additional principal
(the “Additional Principal” ) to be
paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereinbelow.
Interest shall accrue and be payable on the outstanding balance of
the Additional Principal as set forth in Section
2(a)(i).
(b)
Default Rate of
Interest . Except with respect to interest accruing
pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), but subject to applicable law, any
overdue principal of and overdue interest on this Note shall bear
interest, payable on demand in immediately available funds, for
each day from the date payment thereof was due to the date of
actual payment, at a rate equal to the rate of interest otherwise
in effect pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2 plus 2%
per annum, and, upon and during the occurrence of an Event of
Default (as hereinafter defined), this Note shall bear interest,
from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such
Event of Default is cured or waived, payable on demand in
immediately available funds, at a rate equal to the rate of
interest otherwise in effect pursuant to the first sentence of this
Section 2 plus 2% per annum. Subject to applicable law, any
interest that shall accrue on overdue interest on this Note as
provided in the preceding sentence and shall not have been paid in
full on or before the next Interest Payment Date to occur after the
Interest Payment Date on which the overdue interest became due and
payable shall itself be deemed to be overdue interest on this Note
to which the preceding sentence shall apply.
(c)
No Usurious
Interest . In the event that any interest rate provided for
herein shall be determined to be unlawful, such interest rate shall
be computed at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Any
payment by the Borrower of any interest amount in excess of that
permitted by law shall be considered a mistake, with the excess
being applied to the principal of this Note without prepayment
premium or penalty; if no such principal amount is outstanding,
such excess shall be returned to Borrower.
3.

Payments . Prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall
make repayments of the principal sum in installments on the
following dates and in the following amounts to the BV

feasible, or as soon after such closing as practicable, but in no
event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company

the payment due on the Maturity Date) provided in Section 3, in the
order of their maturity provided in Section 3.
(b)
Optional Prepayments
. The principal balance of this
Note outstanding at any time may be prepaid in whole or in part, at
the option of the Company, as provided in this Section 4(b). If the
Borrower desires to make a prepayment under this Section 4(b), the
Borrower shall give the Holder written notice thereof at least ten
(10) Business Days in advance of making such prepayment, stating
the amount of the principal that the Borrower intends to prepay
(the “Prepayment Amount” ) and the date
on which the prepayment will be made (the “Prepayment
Date” ). Not less than five (5) Business Days in
advance of the Prepayment Date, the Holder may elect to exercise
its right to convert the Prepayment Amount into Common Stock as
provided in Section 7(a) below. If the Holder does not timely elect
to exercise its conversion right as provided in the preceding
sentence, the Borrower will pay the Prepayment Amount on the
Prepayment Date, and the Prepayment Amount will be credited against
the remaining installments of principal payable under Section 3 in
the order in which such installments are due. If the Borrower fails
to pay the Prepayment Amount on the Prepayment Date, the Borrower
may not prepay that amount or any other amount without first
providing the notice and opportunity to convert required by this
Section 4(b).

accrued interest on this Note to be immediately due and payable.

immediately due and payable. The Holder may rescind an acceleration
and its consequences if all existing Events of Default, except
nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely
because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived and if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. Any
notice or rescission shall be given in the manner specified in
Section 15.
