REVOLVING PROMISSORY NOTE
THIS REVOLVING PROMISSORY NOTE (this “Note”) is issued by BIORESTORATIVE THERAPIES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), to the Lender identified on the signature page hereto (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Lender”), pursuant to that certain Revolving Loan Agreement, dated as of the Original Issue Date set forth above, between the Borrower and the Lender (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of the Lender the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower from time to time under the Loan Agreement (which aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Maximum Outstanding Amount set forth above), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable in respect thereof, on the Maturity Date, and to pay interest thereon in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the Loan Agreement. This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:
Section 1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement. As used herein:
“Loan Account” means the loan account maintained by the Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Loan Agreement, which records the principal amount of all Loans made hereunder and all repayments thereof, and which shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.
“Maturity Date” means the first anniversary of the Closing Date, or such earlier date as the Payment Amount (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Default Amount) becomes due and payable under the Loan Agreement, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
Section 2. Interest, Repayment and Prepayment.
(a) Interest. Each Loan evidenced hereby shall bear interest at the rate, and computed in the manner, set forth in Section 2.06 of the Loan Agreement (12% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day periods), accruing daily from the applicable Loan Date until paid in full. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at the Default Rate (16% per annum) as provided in the Loan Agreement.
(b) Repayment. On the Maturity Date, the entire Payment Amount (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Default Amount) shall become due and payable in cash, in immediately available funds, in accordance with Section 2.07 of the Loan Agreement, free of any setoff, deduction, counterclaim or withholding except as set forth in Section 2.10 of the Loan Agreement.
(c) Prepayment; Revolving Nature. The Borrower may pay or prepay the Loans evidenced hereby, in whole or in part, prior to the Maturity Date, and may reborrow, in each case in accordance with Section 2.07 of the Loan Agreement. Each payment of principal shall be accompanied by payment in full of all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. This Note evidences a revolving credit facility; the principal amount outstanding hereunder shall not exceed the Maximum Outstanding Amount at any time, and no Loan may be requested or made after the Final Loan Date (as defined in Section 2.07 of the Loan Agreement).
(d) Default Interest; No Merger. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at the Default Rate (16% per annum) on the balance of all amounts then due and payable hereunder (including principal, accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts payable hereunder) remaining unpaid during any such period, payable on demand. Such obligation to pay interest at the Default Rate shall continue both before and after the entry of any judgment hereon, and the obligations evidenced by this Note shall not merge into any such judgment but shall survive and continue to bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(e) Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, all payments received by the Lender in respect of this Note shall be applied: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) then due and owing to the Lender under the Loan Documents; second, to accrued and unpaid interest (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) then due; and third, to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans evidenced hereby; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender may apply payments in such order as it may elect in its discretion to the extent permitted by the Loan Agreement.
Section 3. Registration of Transfers.
(a) Reliance on Register. Prior to due presentment of this Note for transfer, the Borrower may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered on its books as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and the Borrower shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
(b) Transfers. This Note may be sold, assigned or transferred by the Lender only in accordance with Section 6.05 of the Loan Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws. The Borrower may not assign this Note or any of its obligations hereunder.

At all times from and after issuance, and in connection with any transfer of this Note, the Borrower shall maintain a register for the recordation of the name and address of, and the principal amount owing to, the Lender and any permitted transferee (the “Register”). Any transfer of this Note shall be effective only upon surrender of this Note to the Borrower and recordation of the transfer in the Register, whereupon the Borrower shall issue, in exchange for the surrendered Note, a new Note of like tenor registered in the name of the transferee in the principal amount then outstanding hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of this Note for all purposes.
Section 4. Negative Covenants.
So long as any amount remains outstanding under this Note, the Borrower shall comply with the negative covenants set forth in Section 4.01 of the Loan Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Costs of Collection. The Borrower shall pay, on demand, all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Lender in connection with the enforcement, collection or preservation of its rights under this Note, in each case as further provided in Section 6.07 of the Loan Agreement. The Lender’s entries in the Loan Account shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amounts due hereunder for purposes of any enforcement of this Note. The Lender shall furnish a copy of the Loan Account to the Borrower upon the Borrower’s reasonable written request, but not more frequently than once per calendar month.
Section 6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Loan Agreement.
(b) Absolute Obligation; Ranking. Except as expressly provided herein or in the Loan Agreement, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the Borrower’s obligation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest and other amounts on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the currency, prescribed herein and in the Loan Agreement. This Note is a direct, unsecured obligation of the Borrower and ranks at least pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower.

(f) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided in this Note are cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, and nothing herein shall limit the Lender’s right to pursue actual damages for any breach by the Borrower.

(h) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment or obligation shall be made or performed on the next succeeding Business Day.
