The Holder shall effect a conversion under this Section 8(a) by delivering to the Company notice of the Holders election to convert this Note (Conversion Notice). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall equal (i) the sum of the outstanding principal amount plus all unpaid accrued interest, divided by (ii) the then effective Conversion Price as of the date the Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company.
3
(b) Mandatory Conversion Upon Securities Registration. Subject to earlier payment or conversion as provided for elsewhere in this Note, upon any of (i) the closing of an IPO; (ii) the effective date of a Form 10 or other registration statement pursuant to which the Common Stock is registered as a class of securities under the Exchange Act; or (iii) the effective date, but immediately prior to the effective time, of the closing of a merger, share exchange or other similar transaction pursuant to which the Company merges or exchanges shares with another Person (or a subsidiary of such Person) that has a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act, regardless of whether the Company, such other Person or a subsidiary of such other Person survives such transaction; the entire outstanding principal amount hereunder, together with all unpaid accrued interest, shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock.

(d) Mandatory Conversion Upon Consent of Required Holders. Subject to earlier payment or conversion as provided for elsewhere in this Note, upon the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the Required Holders, the entire outstanding principal amount hereunder, together with all unpaid accrued interest, shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion pursuant to this Section 8(d) shall equal (1) the sum of the outstanding principal amount plus all unpaid accrued interest, divided by (2) the then effective Conversion Price as of the date and time specified, or the time of the event specified, in such vote or written consent of the Required Holders.
(e) Procedural Requirements. As soon as practicable upon conversion, the Holder shall surrender this Note (or, if the Holder alleges that this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost note affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of this Note) to the Company. As soon as practicable after the Holders surrender of this Note (or such lost note affidavit and agreement), the Company shall issue or cause to be issued and deliver or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate a certificate for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, with such restrictive legends as deemed necessary by the Company. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such shares as of the conversion date. Upon conversion, all rights with respect to this Note will terminate (notwithstanding the failure of the Holder to surrender this Note to the Company), except only the rights of the Holder, upon surrender of this Note (or lost note affidavit and agreement), to receive the shares of Common Stock as provided above.
(f) No Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue or cause to be issued fractional shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 8(f), be issuable upon conversion of this Note, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
4
(g) Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue shares of Common Stock as required hereunder, the number of shares of Common Stock which are then issuable and deliverable upon the conversion of this Note (taking into account the adjustments set forth in Section 9), free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted to reflect such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to Section 9(a)(i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to Section 9(a)(ii) or Section 9(a)(iii) shall become effective immediately after the effective time of such subdivision or combination.
(b) Reorganization, Reclassification, Etc. In case of any capital reorganization, or of any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a split-up or combination) or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person (other than (i) a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity and which does not result in the Common Stock being changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities or property of any other Person, (ii) a Sale Transaction, or (iii) a consolidation or merger contemplated in Section 8(b) above), the Holder shall have the right immediately thereafter to receive upon the conversion hereof, based on the same Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change covered by Section 9(a), then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 9(a) and this Section 9(b). The provisions of this Section 9(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations.
(c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company.
(d) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company, at its expense, will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and deliver to the Holder a certificate describing in reasonable detail such adjustment and the transactions giving rise thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based; provided, however, that any failure of the Company to prepare and deliver such certificate, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of the adjustment required to be described in such certificate.
5
(e) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company: (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock; (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating, or solicits stockholder approval for, any merger, share exchange or other similar transaction; or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
10. Default; Acceleration; Waiver.
(a) An Event of Default under this Note shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) The Company shall fail to make payment of any amount as required by this Note within fifteen (15) days after the same becomes due and payable, whether at the stated Maturity Date or any accelerated date of maturity;
(ii) Commencement of proceedings for the liquidation of the Company, or any other termination or winding-up of its existence or business,

(iv) A material representation or warranty made by the Company in the Security Agreement shall prove to have been false in any material respect when made, provided, that such breach shall not be deemed an Event of Default if such breach is cured prior to the thirty-first (31st) day following the date the Company becomes aware of the factual circumstances giving rise to the breach, unless such breach has had a material impairment on the Holders rights under this Note;
(v) Commencement by the Company of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings under any federal or applicable state law;
(vi) Commencement against the Company of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding under any federal or applicable state law by creditors of the Company, provided, that such proceeding shall not be deemed an Event of Default if such proceeding is dismissed within ninety (90) days of commencement; or
(vii) A default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or instrument by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company, whether such indebtedness exists on the date of this Note or shall be created thereafter, which default (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or interest on such indebtedness prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period (a Payment Default), or (B) results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of such indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $500,000 or more.
6
(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default as specified in Section 10(a)(v) or Section 10(a)(vi)) and so long as such Event of Default is continuing, subject to the provisions of Section 7 above and any Subordination Agreement, the Required Holders may, at their option and upon written notice of acceleration given to the Company, declare the entire unpaid portion of the principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest under the Notes due and payable. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 above and any Subordination Agreement, if an Event of Default specified in Section 10(a)(v) or Section 10(a)(vi) occurs and is continuing, then the entire unpaid portion of the principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest under the Notes shall automatically, and without any notice or any other action on the part of the Holder or any other holders of Notes, become due and payable immediately.

11. Participation Rights.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11 and applicable securities laws, for so long as this Note is outstanding, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to the Holder.

(c) By notification to the Company within three (3) days after the Offer Notice is given, the Holder may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of any Derivative Securities (including, without limitation, this Note) then held, by the Holder bears to the total Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Derivative Securities (including, without limitation, the Notes)).
(d) The Company may, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the expiration of the period provided in Section 11(c), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the end of such period, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Holder in accordance with this Section 11.

Such notice shall describe the type, price, and terms of the New Securities. The Holder shall have ten (10) days from the date notice is given to elect to purchase up to the number of New Securities that would, if purchased by the Holder, maintain the Holders percentage-ownership position, calculated as set forth in Section 11(c) before giving effect to the issuance of such New Securities.
(f) The rights of the Holder, and the obligations of the Company, under this Section 11 shall terminate upon payment or conversion of this Note.
