This Note has been executed by the Company on the date listed on the signature page hereto.

 

                                                This Note has been issued pursuant to, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of October 25, 2013, by and among the Company and Holders parties thereto.  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder of this Note and the conditions to which this Note is subject and to which the Holder hereof, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

 

1.                                      Maturity Date.  Unless earlier converted in accordance with Section 2 hereof, on the earliest of (a) the first year anniversary of the date of issuance as first written above, (b) the closing of a Liquidation (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date) or (c) the date on which an Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and repayment of this Note has been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.2 (the “Maturity Date”), the Company shall pay to Holder, in cash, the amount of the then outstanding principal balance of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest hereon.

2.

 

2.                                      Note Conversion.

 

2.1                               Automatic Conversion Upon the Occurrence of a Financing.  If, after the date hereof, the Company shall (i) obtain equity investments from an investor or a group of investors aggregating at least $25,000,000, excluding any principal and interest on the Notes converted into equity securities in such financing  or (ii) obtain (a) equity investments from an investor or a group of investors aggregating at least $10,000,000, excluding any principal and interest on the Notes converted into equity securities in such

 











 

financing and (b) on or before the date of such financing, commitments pursuant to one or more definitive collaboration agreements with third parties pursuant to which such third parties will provide the Company with no less than $15,000,000 in guaranteed and non-contingent non-dilutive funding to be received by the Company on or before the second anniversary of the Maturity Date (either (i) or (ii) above, a “Qualified Financing”), then all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall, effective on the closing date of such Qualified Financing automatically convert into such number of shares of the type of equity securities to be issued in the equity financing  equal to the quotient of:

 

(a) the aggregate amount of then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note divided by

 

(b) the lowest price per share actually paid by the investors participating in the equity financing for the securities issued in such Qualified Financing.

 

2.2                               Optional Conversion Upon the Occurrence of Non-Qualified Financing.  If, after the date hereof, the Company shall obtain an equity investment from an investor or a group of investors which does not qualify as a Qualified Financing (a “Non-Qualified Financing”), all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall, at the Holder’s option and effective on the date of such Non-Qualified Financing, be converted into such number of shares of the type of equity securities to be issued in the Non-Qualified Financing equal to the quotient of:

 

(a) the aggregate amount of then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note divided by

 

(b) the lowest price per share actually paid by the investors participating in the Non-Qualified Financing for the securities issued in such Non-Qualified Financing.

 

2.3                               Optional Conversion Outside of a Financing.  If this Note has not been converted or repaid prior to twelve (12) months following the date hereof, the Notes may be converted at the option of the Holder into such number of shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred”) equal to the quotient of:

 

(a) the aggregate amount of then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note divided by

 

(b) the original purchase price for the Series C Preferred.

 

2.4                               Conversion Procedure.  If this Note is converted to equity securities pursuant to Section 2, the following terms shall govern such conversion.

 

2.4.1                     Notice of Conversion.  With respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 2.1, not less than ten days prior to the closing of the Qualified Financing the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Note at the address shown on the records of the Company for the Holder, notifying the Holder of the conversion to be effective, specifying the equity securities into which this Note shall be converted, the principal amount of the Note to be

 











 

converted, the amount of accrued interest to be converted, and the date on which the Qualified Financing (and the conversion of this Note) will occur.  With respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 2.2, not less than ten days prior to the closing of the Non-Qualified Financing, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Note at the address shown on the records of the Company for the Holder, notifying the Holder of the material terms, including, without limitation, the total amount invested, the type of securities sold and the closing date of the Non-Qualified Financing (the “Non-Qualified Financing Notice”).  In the event the Holder elects to exercise its conversion right pursuant to Section 2.2, the Holder shall, within ten (10) days of the Holder’s receipt of the Non-Qualified Financing Notice, deliver written notice to the Company of such election.  With respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 2.3, the Holder shall deliver written notice to the Company no later than seven (7) days before the date on which the Holder wishes to convert this Note, notifying the Company of such Holder’s election to convert this Note pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3.  At the applicable conversion date, Holder agrees to deliver the original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the Holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it related to such lost, stolen or destroyed Note) for cancellation; provided, however, that upon as applicable (i) the closing of a Qualified Financing a Non-Qualified Financing for which the Holder has exercised its conversion right or (ii) the conversion date for a conversion of this Note into Series C Preferred pursuant to Section 2.3 above, this Note shall be deemed converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this sentence. In addition, upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Holder shall agree to (and execute any documents in connection therewith) any associated restrictions agreed to by the investors in such Qualified Financing or Non-Qualified Financing, including in any case, without limitation, all applicable registration rights, co-sale rights, rights of first refusal, pre-emptive rights, voting agreements, transfer restrictions and other similar rights and restrictions. In addition, upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 2.3, the Holder shall agree to (and execute any documents in connection therewith) any associated restrictions agreed to by the Series C Preferred investors, including in any case the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement and the Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, each dated May 20, 2011, by and among the Company and each of the parties named therein.

 

2.4.2                     Mechanics and Effect of Conversion.  No fractional shares of the Company’s equity securities shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.  In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder the amount of outstanding principal and accrued interest that is not so converted in cash.  The Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company after full conversion of this Note in exchange for stock certificates representing the equity securities into which this Note has been converted.  Upon full conversion of this Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

 

2.5                               Optional Conversion Upon a Liquidation .  In the event the Company proposes to enter into a transaction which, if consummated, would constitute a Liquidation  prior to conversion pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.2 or Section 2.3, the Company shall provide the

 











 

Holder with twenty (20) days written notice prior to the consummation of such transaction (the “Liquidation Notice”).  The Liquidation Notice shall set forth the material terms of the proposed Liquidation, including, without limitation, the proposed structure of the Liquidation and the amount and type of consideration to be received by the Company’s equity holders.  The Holder shall have the option to (i) redeem this Note for a cash payment from the Company equal to the aggregate amount of outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note, effective on the date of such Liquidation, or (ii) convert, subject to Section 2.4.2, all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note, effective on the date of such Liquidation, into such number of shares of Series C Preferred equal to the quotient of:

 

(a) the aggregate amount of outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note divided by

 

(b)  the original purchase price for the Series C Preferred.

 

In the event the Holder elects to exercise its conversion right pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Holder shall, within seven (7) days of the Holder’s receipt of the Liquidation Notice, deliver written notice to the Company of such election.

 

2.6                               Covenants as to Conversion Shares.  The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of equity securities that may be issued upon the conversion of this Note (“Conversion Securities”) will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the pendency of the conversion rights under this Note, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of the series of equity securities comprising the Conversion Shares to provide for the conversion of this Note. If at any time during such period the number of authorized but unissued shares of such series of the Company’s equity securities shall not be sufficient to permit conversion of this Note, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of such series of the Company’s equity securities to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

2.7                               Prepayment.  Except in connection with a Liquidation where the Holder elects not to convert this Note, without the written consent of the Requisite Holders, the Company may not and shall not prepay any portion of the outstanding principal of this Note.  In the event the Requisite Holders consent to the prepayment of Notes, prepayments shall be made by the Company to the Investors who elect to receive such prepayments on a pro-rata basis.

 

3.                                      Interest.  Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the rate of 8% per year, compounded annually on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 365- or 366-day year, as appropriate.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the Holder does not intend to charge, and the Company shall not be required to pay, any interest or other fees or charges or premiums in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law; any payments in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to the Company or credited to reduce principal hereunder.

 











 

4.                                      Waiver of Notice.  The Company hereby waives notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor.

 

5.                                      Event of Default.

 

5.1                               Event of Default. The following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1.1 or Section 5.1.2 occurs and is continuing, then the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest thereon and all other

 











 

payments payable hereunder shall become and be immediately due and payable in cash without any declaration or other act on the part of the Holder or the Requisite Holders.  The Requisite Holders by notice to the Company may rescind an acceleration and its consequences. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right thereto.
