 SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE 
  

				
	Issuance Date: [    ]     , 200  	  	Principal: U.S. $	            

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ANTIGENICS INC., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of
[                                ] or its registered assigns (“Holder”)
the amount set out above as the Principal (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), acceleration,
redemption or otherwise (in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the Interest Rate, from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance
Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date (as defined below) or the Maturity Date, acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Senior Secured
Convertible Note (including all Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is one of an issue of Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the “Notes” and such other Senior Secured Convertible Notes, the “Other Notes”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 29. 
 (1) INTEREST; INTEREST RATE. Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months from the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable in arrears for each Interest Period on the last day of the applicable Interest Period during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending, subject to
earlier acceleration, redemption or conversion, on, and including, the Maturity Date (even if the Maturity Date is not the last day of an Interest Period) 







 (each, an “Interest Date”) with the first Interest Date being [June/December]
    , 200  . Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date to the record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest Date in cash (“Cash Interest”) or, at the option of the Company
may be paid in kind notes in the form of Exhibit B to the Securities Purchase Agreement (“PIK Notes”) or a combination thereof, provided that the Interest which accrued during any period will be payable in PIK Notes unless the
Company delivers written notice (each a “Cash Election Notice”) of such election to each holder of the Notes on or prior to the twentieth (20th) Company Trading Day prior to the Interest Date (each, an “Interest Election Date”). Each Cash Election Notice must specify the amount of Interest that shall be paid as Cash
Interest, if any, and the amount of Interest that shall be paid in PIK Notes. If the Company elects to pay in PIK Notes, such PIK Notes shall be issued to the record holder of the Note within twenty (20) days after the Interest Date. Prior to
the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amount (as defined below) in accordance with Section 2(b)(i). 

(2) CONVERSION OF NOTES. This Note shall be convertible into (i) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
“Company Common Stock”) or (ii) Antigenics MA Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2. 
 (a)
Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(g), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount in multiples of $10,000
(or, if less, any remaining Conversion Amount) into (i) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 2(e), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below) or (ii) Antigenics MA Stock, at the
Antigenics MA Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Company Common Stock or Antigenics MA Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of
Company Common Stock or Antigenics MA Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Company Common Stock or Antigenics MA Stock, respectively, up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable
with respect to the issuance and delivery of Company Common Stock or Antigenics MA Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue and delivery of Company Common Stock or Antigenics MA Stock to any Person other than the Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Company Common Stock or Antigenics MA Stock issued upon
conversion. 
 (b) Company Common Stock Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any
Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined below) (the “Conversion Rate”). 
  

	 	(i)	“Conversion Price” means as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on and including the Maturity
Date, the Fixed Conversion Price. 

  

 - 2 - 









	 	(ii)	“Fixed Conversion Price” means [$3.50]1 (also referred to as the “Initial Fixed Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as provided herein. 

 (c) Antigenics MA Stock Conversion Rate. The number shares of Antigenics MA Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) (“the Antigenics MA
Conversion”) shall be equal to the number of shares constituting x% of the total shares of Antigenics MA stock, where x is calculated by dividing the Conversion Amount by $833,333.00. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of
Antigenics MA Stock on any date (an “Antigenics MA Conversion Date”), the Holder shall give the Company ninety (90) days’ prior written notice (the “Antigenics MA Stock Conversion Notice”) transmitted by
facsimile (or otherwise deliver). 
 (d) Company Buyout Right. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary, upon
receipt of a Antigenics MA Stock Conversion Notice, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Notes subject to the Antigenics MA Stock Conversion Notice (the “Company Buyout Right”) at a price equal to the value of the
Conversion Amount plus an amount, when taken together with any Cash Interest payments made prior to the exercise of the Company Buyout Right, that would generate an annual internal rate of return to the Holder of thirty percent (30%) in respect
of the Principal. The Company shall have sixty (60) days, following receipt of the Antigenics MA Stock Conversion Notice to give notice of its decision to exercise the Company Buyout Right. 
 (e) Mechanics of Stock Conversion. 
  

	 	(i)	Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Company Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall
(A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion
Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 2(e)(iii), surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect
to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the second (2nd) Business Day
following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent (as defined below). On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the
Company shall issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Company Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If
this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 2(e)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as
practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note (the “Note Delivery Date”) and at its own expense, 

  


	1	The Initial Fixed Conversion Price may be adjusted at any time on or after October 27, 2006 pursuant to section 7(b). 

  

 - 3 - 









	 	    	issue and deliver to the holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive
the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Company Common Stock on the Conversion Date to the extent permitted by applicable law.


  

	 	(ii)	Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail to issue a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with Depository Trust
Company for the number of shares of Company Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon conversion of any Conversion Amount on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the Conversion Date (a “Conversion
Failure”), then (A) the Company shall pay damages in cash to the Holder for each day of such Conversion Failure in an amount equal to 0.25% of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Company Common Stock not issued
to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Company Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void
its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice. 

  

	 	(iii)	Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not
be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be
included in the Conversion Notice or Antigenics MA Stock Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and
the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. 

  

	 	(iv)	Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can
convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 2(g), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such
holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In
the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Company Common Stock not in dispute and
resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 22. 

  

 - 4 - 








 (f) Payment of Principal at Maturity; Company Election. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall
pay to the Holder the sum of the Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest (“Unpaid Principal Amount”) in same day funds; provided, however, that if the Company has satisfied the Company Election Conversion Condition (as defined
below), the Company may elect to pay such Unpaid Principal Amount by converting such Unpaid Principal Amount into the number of Company Common Stock equal to the amount of such Unpaid Principal Amount divided by the ninety percent (90%) of the
Weighted Average Price of Company Common Stock during the prior twenty (20) Company Trading Days preceding the Company Election Date (a “Company Election Conversion”). If a Company Election Conversion occurs, the Company and
the Holder shall follow the procedures for Conversion set forth in this Section 2; provided, however, the Holder shall not be required to send the Conversion Notice contemplated by paragraph 2(e)(i) above. The “Company Election
Conversion Condition” means that the average equity market capitalization for the Company calculated based on the closing prices for the shares of Company Common Stock during the twenty (20) Company Trading Days preceding the Maturity
Date , shall be greater than $300,000,000 on a fully diluted basis. 
 (g) Limitations on Conversions. 
  

	 	(i)	Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note,
pursuant to this Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”)
of the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates
shall include the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Company Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of
the Company (including, without limitation, any Other Notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in
the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(g)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). For purposes of
this Section 2(g)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or
Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other more recent notice from the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of 

  

 - 5 - 









	 	    	Company Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within three (3) Business Days confirm orally
and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of
the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock was reported. 

  

	 	(ii)	Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Company Common Stock upon conversion of this Note, whether pursuant to this
Section 2 or otherwise, if the issuance of such shares of Company Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion or exercise of the Notes without breaching the
Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as
required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of Company Common Stock in excess of such amount, regardless of whether or not the shares of Company Common Stock are then listed on the applicable market or (B) obtains a
written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. In the event the Company is unable to obtain a written opinion pursuant to Section
g(ii)(A), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain stockholder approval. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no purchaser of the Notes pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchasers”) shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of Notes, shares of Company Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal
amount of Notes issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement on the Closing Date (with respect to each Purchaser, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a
pro rata portion of such Purchaser’s Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that
any holder of Notes shall convert all of such holder’s Notes into a number of shares of Company Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder’s
Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Company Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then held by each such holder. 

 (h) Notwithstanding anything in the above provisions
to the contrary, if the Holder exercises any of its rights under the Pledge and Security Agreement in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code then it shall no longer have the right to convert its shares into Antigenics MA Stock. 
  

 - 6 - 








 (3) COMPANY CALL OPTION. After October 30, 2009, the Company shall have the option, at any time
when the Weighted Average Price of the Company Common Stock during the prior thirty (30) day period is $7.00 (appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction) or higher, to redeem the Note
for cash at (100%) of the Conversion Amount, provided that (i) such redemption shall occur on the date that is twenty (20) Company Trading Days (the “Call Date”) following the date of the Company notice and (ii) prior to the Call
Date, the provisions in Section 2 shall remain in effect. 
 (4) RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. 
 (a) Event of Default. Each of the following events (so long as its continuing) shall constitute an “Event of Default”: 

 

	 	(i)	the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal or Interest except, in the case of a failure to pay Interest only if such failure continues for a period of
at least five (5) Business Days; 

  

	 	(ii)	any default under, redemption of or acceleration prior to maturity of any Indebtedness (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Company aggregating in excess of
$1,000,000; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal, foreign or state law for the relief of debtors (collectively, “Bankruptcy
Law”), (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) has an involuntary case filed against it and such case is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, (C) consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or
similar official, or (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

  

	 	(iv)	a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $1,000,000 are rendered against the Company and which judgment or judgments are not, within sixty
(60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an
indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $1,000,000 amount set forth above; 

  

	 	(v)	the Company breaches any representation or warranty in this Note or makes a misleading representation or warranty which results in a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of the Company; 

  

	 	(vi)	the Company breaches, in any material respect, a covenant or agreement in this Note which remains uncured after notice for a period of at least thirty (30) consecutive days.;
or 

  

	 	(vii)	the Company ceases to operate. 

 (b) Redemption
Right. Promptly after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of the
Holder’s receipt of an Event 
  

 - 7 - 








 of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default and prior to 90 days after written notice from the
Company to the Holder that such Event of Default is cured (which written notice shall provide reasonably satisfactory evidence that such Event of Default has actually been cured), the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of
this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note that the Holder is electing to redeem. Each
portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the Conversion Amount to be redeemed (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”).
Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10. 
 (5) RIGHTS UPON
FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL. 
 (a) Assumption. Without limiting any rights of the Holder pursuant to paragraph
(b) below, the Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5(a) pursuant to a written agreement prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including an undertaking to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts and the interest rate of this Note and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity)
is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after
the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of
the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be
issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Company Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the
conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. The provisions of this Section
shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note. 
 (b) Holder Redemption Right. No sooner than fifteen (15) Business Days nor later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation
of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any
time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date of the consummation of such Change of Control (or, in the event a 
  

 - 8 - 








 Change of Control Notice is not delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to consummation of such Change of
Control, at any time on or after the date which is ten (10) Business Days prior to a Change of Control and ending ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of such Change of Control), the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or
any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is
electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to 101% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed (the “Holder Change of Control Redemption
Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 5(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 5(b), but subject to Sections 2(g), until the Holder Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this
Section 5(b) (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2. 
 (6) RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. 
 (a) Equity Offering. If the Company sells, at any time up to the
Maturity Date, an equity interest in Antigenics MA (“Equity Offering”), the Holder shall have a right of first refusal (which shall be transferable to affiliates of the Holder and to a purchaser of this Note and automatically
transferred with this Note while this Note is outstanding) to purchase Holder’s pro rata share (in proportion to the principal amount this Note represents to the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes) of up to 50% of such Equity Offering
on the same terms as the third party purchaser, including without limitation any preemptive rights in connection with any subsequent offering or sales. In the event that this Note is redeemed prior to the Maturity Date (the “Redemption
Date”), this right of first refusal shall survive for the benefit of the entity holding this Note at the time of redemption until the Maturity Date, and after the Redemption Date, such right shall be assignable, in whole or in part, other
than to a competitor of GSK, based on the pro rata ownership of the Notes at the time of redemption; provided, however, that no such transfer shall be effected unless the transferee would have the right to purchase at least 10% of the
transferor’s right to participate in such Equity Offering. 
 (b) Offer. The Company shall deliver to the Holder written notice
of an Equity Offering, specifying the price and terms and conditions of a proposed Equity Offering. Unless the Company determines not to consummate such Equity Offering, the Holder shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days from the date of
the notice from the Company (the “10-Day Period”) to irrevocable determine whether to exercise this right. 
 (c) Notice of
Acceptance. Holder shall evidence its intention to accept the Offer by delivering a written notice setting forth the equity interest, subject to Section 6(a) above, that it elects to purchase (the “Notice of Acceptance”).
The Notice of Acceptance must be delivered to the Company prior to the end of the 10-day Period. 
 (d) Purchase of Shares. If the
Holder tenders its Notice of Acceptance prior to the end of the 10-day Period indicating its intention to purchase its pro rata share of the Equity Offering, the Company shall schedule a closing. Upon the closing of the sale of the Equity

  

 - 9 - 








 Offering to be purchased by the holders, the Holder shall (i) purchase from the Company that portion of the Equity
Offering for which it tendered a Notice of Acceptance upon the terms specified in the Offer, and (ii) execute and deliver an agreement further restricting transfer of such Equity Offering. The obligation of any Holder to purchase such Equity
Offering is further conditioned upon the preparation of a purchase agreement embodying the terms of the Equity Offering, which shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the participating Holders. 
 (7) RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES. 
 (a) Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price upon Issuance of Company Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is deemed to have issued or
sold, any shares of Company Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Company Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Company Common Stock comprising Excluded Securities) for a
consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than $3.00 (the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Fixed Conversion
Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to a 16.66% premium to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Fixed Conversion Price under this Section 7(a), the following shall be applicable: 
  

	 	(i)	Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Company Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding
and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Company Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or
receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Company Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such
Option. No further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Company Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Company Common
Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities. 

  

	 	(ii)	Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Company
Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of
the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 7(a)(ii), the 

  

 - 10 - 









	 	    	“price per share for which one share of Company Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Company Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No
further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Company Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities
is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(a), no further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made by reason of
such issue or sale. 

  

	 	(iii)	Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion,
exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Company Common Stock changes at any time, the Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of
such change shall be adjusted to the Fixed Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the
case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 7(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date are changed in the manner described in the
immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Company Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment
shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect. 

  

	 	(iv)	Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one
integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01. If any Company Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Company Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or
sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of
consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the date of receipt. If any Company Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with
any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the 

  

 - 11 - 









	 	    	net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Company Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any
consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation
(the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) Business Day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed
binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company. 

  

	 	(v)	Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Company Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in Company Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Company Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the
Company Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.


 (b) Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Company Common Stock. If the Company at
any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Company Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Fixed Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. 
 (c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock
appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Fixed Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note;
provided that no such adjustment will increase the Fixed Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7. 
  

 - 12 - 








 (8) NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by
amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid
the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. 
 (9) RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES. 
 (a) Reservation. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Company Common Stock a number of shares of Company Common Stock for each of the Notes equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock as
shall be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Company Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, the number of shares of Company Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding at the Company Conversion Price (the
“Required Reserve Amount”). The initial number of shares of Company Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Notes and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes
based on the principal amount of the Notes held by each holder at the Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In
the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Company Common Stock reserved and
allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by such holders. 
 (b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of
authorized and unreserved shares of Company Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized
Share Failure”), then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Company Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to
reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety
(90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock (the earlier of the date of such
meeting and such ninetieth day, the “Authorized Share Failure Stockholder Meeting Deadline”). 
 (10) HOLDER’S
REDEMPTIONS. 
 (a) Mechanics. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within five
(5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s valid Event of Default Redemption Notice. If the Holder has submitted a Holder 
  

 - 13 - 








 Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), the Company shall deliver the Holder Change of
Control Redemption Price to the Holder, concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received by the Company prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Business Days after the
Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder (after such original Note has been
delivered to the Company) a new Note (in accordance with Section 17(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time
period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note
representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect
to such Conversion Amount and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 17(d)) to the Holder representing such Conversion Amount. 
 (b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment
as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b) or Section 5(b) (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately forward to the Holder
by facsimile a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to
the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem
all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes
(including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven Business Day period. 
 (11) RESTRICTION ON REDEMPTION AND CASH DIVIDENDS. Other than (x) in connection with employee stock repurchases pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan
existing as of the date hereof and (y) cash payments in lieu of fractional shares of Company Common Stock, until all of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, the Company shall not, directly or
indirectly, redeem, repurchase or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on shares of Company Common Stock without the prior express written consent of the holders of Notes representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding. 
 (12) RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the Holder shall have no rights as a holder of
Company Common Stock as a result of being a holder of this Note, except as required by law, including, but not limited to, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and as expressly provided in this Note.

except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the
remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. 
 (20) CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Purchasers and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note

 (21) FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT
WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or

Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Redemption Price or the Conversion Rate, as applicable, within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation

investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate or the Redemption Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company, at the Company’s

Company, any related penalty payments due hereunder shall not be made until such dispute is resolved.

wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Company with prior written notice setting out such request and the Holder’s wire transfer instructions. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on

After all Principal, accrued Interest and other amounts at any time owed on this Note have been paid in full, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.
