RELATED PARTY UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

  Date of Issuance
US $1,000,000.00 November 26, 2025

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Picard Medical, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Fang Family Fund, LLC- Series I (“FFF I” or the “Holder”) the principal amount of up to US $1,000,000.00 (the “Maximum Principal Amount”), or such lesser amount as may be advanced from time to time by the Holder under this Note (the “Outstanding Principal Amount”), together with interest thereon from the date a deposit is received under the issuance of this unsecured promissory note (this “Note”). Interest will accrue on outstanding principal at a fixed rate per annum equal to 6%, compounded annually, and shall be payable in kind (by capitalization to principal) on each quarterly anniversary of the date hereof, provided, however, that the Company may, at its option, pay such interest in cash on any interest payment date. The Outstanding Principal Amount and any outstanding and unpaid interest shall be paid in cash on the Maturity Date, which shall be November 27, 2026, regardless of the date of any individual deposit (the “Maturity Date”) at the Company’s written election or upon written demand by the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company may, with the written consent of Holder, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, elect to extend the Maturity Date to a date set forth in a written notice from the Company to the Holder (any such new date, a “New Maturity Date”) and, on the date on which such written consent of Holder is obtained with respect to any such election, the applicable New Maturity Date shall automatically become the “Maturity Date”. For the avoidance of doubt, this Note constitutes a loan to the Company and not a loan by the Company to any officer or director of the Company.

 

1. Payment.

 

1.1 Payment Procedures. All payments will be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Holder. If any payment falls due on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day. Payment will be credited first to accrued interest due and payable, with any remainder applied to principal. Prepayment of principal and/or interest may be made by the Company at any time with no penalty or fee. All interest under this Note shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of this Note as of the applicable date of determination.

1.2 Mandatory Prepayment Upon Follow-On Financing. Upon the consummation by the Company or any subsidiary of equity or equity-linked financing (including, without limitation, a private investment in public equity, an underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (or other applicable form), an at-the-market offering, or the issuance of convertible or exchangeable securities) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $10,000,000.00 (a “Qualified Financing”), the Company shall, on the date of the closing of the Qualified Financing (the “Qualified Financing Closing Date”) automatically prepay this Note in an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due hereunder, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that the Company may retain proceeds from the Qualified Financing sufficient to pay reasonable transaction fees and expenses to fund at least $2,000,000.00 of post-closing working capital, in which case the mandatory prepayment shall occur no later than the first Business Day following receipt by the Company of the remaining proceeds from such Qualified Financing. This Section 1.2 shall be subject to the terms of any applicable intercreditor agreement and shall not be construed to require repayment in contravention of any senior secured debt facility then in effect; provided, however, that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents required to permit such repayment. Nothing herein shall limit the Company’s ability to prepay this Note at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
