(ii)“Common Stock” means the Company’s common stock, par value 0.001 per share. 

(iii)“Common Stock Conversion Price” means an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Valuation Cap by (B) the Number of Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding as of the end of the day immediately prior to the Conversion Date. 

(iv)“Conversion Date” means the date upon which the conversion of this Note into shares of Conversion Stock is effective. 

(v)“Conversion Stock” means the Common Stock or the Qualified Preferred Stock or the other preferred stock of the Company this Note may be converted into pursuant to the terms hereof. 

(vi)“Conversion Price” means the Qualified Financing Stock Conversion Price or the Common Stock Conversion Price, as applicable.

(viii)“Public Offering” means the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public at a price of at least $5.00 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock), in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $20,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Company.

(x)“Qualified Financing Conversion Price” means an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 80% of the Qualified Financing Price Per Share and (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Valuation Cap by (y) the Number of Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Qualified Financing.

At the closing of the Qualified Financing resulting in the conversion of the unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount, the Lender shall receive the Qualified Preferred Stock upon the same terms and conditions applicable to such other purchasers.  

(c)Voluntary Conversion into Common Stock.  If the Company does not consummate a Qualified Financing on or prior to the Maturity Date, upon the written demand of the Lender, the unpaid principal amount of all of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid  




interest on the principal amount outstanding from time to time, shall be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the unpaid principal amount of the this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount outstanding from time to time, as of the end of the day immediately prior to the Conversion Date by (ii) the Common Stock Conversion Price.

(f)Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3, the Lender shall surrender this Note at the office of the Company or of its transfer agent for the applicable number of shares of Conversion Stock.  As promptly as practicable after the conversion of this Note, the Company at its expense will issue and deliver to the Lender, upon surrender of this Note, a certificate or certificates for the class or series and the full number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon such conversion.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue any certificate or other instrument evidencing any shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon such conversion unless this Note is either delivered to the Company or any such transfer agent or the Lender notifies the Company or any such transfer agent that this Note has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company and any successor to the Company from any loss incurred by the Company or such successor in connection therewith.

(i)The Company shall give notice of any Qualified Financing as soon as is reasonably practical prior to the closing of such financing.  Such notice shall specify the proposed date of such closing and the amount of shares of Conversion Stock that may be issued upon such conversion. 

(j)Notwithstanding the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3, in no event shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Conversion Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Lender and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 

(k)If the Lender has not paid, the Full Principal Amount in accordance to Section 2, then any conversion of the unpaid principal amount of this Note pursuant to Section 3, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount outstanding from time to time, shall be converted pro rata into that number of shares of Common Stock related to the Full Principal Amount actually paid by Lender.
