Company shall reimburse Employee, upon presentation of appropriate vouchers or receipts in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies, for all reasonable out-of-pocket business travel and entertainment expenses incurred or

Cause, Employee shall not receive any further benefits, any unearned Base Pay, and shall not be entitled to receive 

  
 5 

 
any further Annual Bonuses or Equity Awards, regardless of the performance of the Company. Any rights and benefits which Employee may have in respect of any other compensation or any employee

reason by providing the other party with a Notice of Termination at least fourteen (14) days prior to the effective day of termination. Any unvested shares of PRA common stock awarded pursuant to Section 4(c) shall be forfeited upon
Employee’s termination (other than in the case of death or as described in 8f and 8g). 
 (e) Constructive
Termination. “Constructive Termination” shall be deemed to have occurred upon (a) the removal of Employee from, or failure of Employee to continue in the position specified in the Agreement, unless offered another executive

 (f) Change in Control “Double Trigger” Termination. “Change of
Control” shall mean the occurrence and actual consummation of either subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) below or any combination of said event(s) as more fully defined and described in Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations:

 (i) Change of Ownership of the Company. A change of ownership of the Company occurs on the date that any one
person or persons acting as a group acquires ownership of the stock of the Company, that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the
stock of the Company or of any corporation that owns at least fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value and total voting power of Company. 
 (ii) Effective Change of Control. If the Company does not qualify under Subparagraph (i), above, then it may still meet the definition of Change of Control, on the date that either: (1) Any one
person, or more than one person, acting as a group acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of Company possessing thirty
percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of Company; or (2) A majority of the numbers of the Company’s board of directors are replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not
endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors prior to the date of the appointment or election. 
 (iii) Change in Ownership of Company’s Assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of Company’s assets occurs on the date that any person, or more than one person acting as a
group, acquires or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total fair market value equal to more than sixty-five percent (65%) of
the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. 
 Pursuant to this
Agreement, a “Change in Control Protection Period” shall be in effect for the following periods: (A) the six months prior to any Change in Control if Employee is terminated (I) at the request of any third party who had taken
steps reasonably calculated or intended to effectuate a Change in Control or (II) in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control or (B) the twenty-four (24) months beginning on the date of any Change in Control. 

If a Change in Control as defined herein occurs, then the executive is entitled to the associated severance payments described in Section 9(b) only
if, during the Change in Control Protection Period, the Company (or its successor) terminates the executive involuntarily or the Employee terminates due to a Constructive Termination. 
 In the event of a Change in Control termination, any unvested shares of PRA common stock awarded pursuant to Section 4(c) shall immediately vest (at target) upon Employee’s termination.

  
 7 

 (g) Nonrenewal Termination. If the Employee’s employment continues until the
expiration of the Term, upon the expiration of the Term if not otherwise renewed by the mutual agreement of the parties and the Employee’s employment terminates within 30 days following the expiration of the Term, the termination shall be
considered a (“Nonrenewal Termination”). If the Company offers the Employee a renewed agreement that is substantially similar to the agreements of similarly situated Executives and the Employee declines to accept such new agreement, then
the Employee will not be eligible for any payment for Nonrenewal under Section 9(c). 
 In the event of a Nonrenewal Termination with
payments due under section 9(c), any unvested shares of PRA common stock awarded pursuant to Section 4 shall continue to vest through March 31, 2015 (based on actual company performance). 

 

	 	9.	SEVERANCE AND NON-COMPETITION PAYMENTS. 

 (a) Involuntary Termination without Cause/Constructive Termination, not during Change in Control Protection Period. If Employee’s Employment is terminated outside of the Change in Control
Period other than: (1) as a termination by Employee (other than a Constructive Termination), (2) as a result of death, (3) as a result of termination due to Disability of Employee (4) for Cause or (5) as a termination due to
Nonrenewal, the following shall apply. The Company shall pay to Employee (i) Employee’s base Salary and accrued PTO through the date of Termination, paid within 30 days following the termination date and (ii) a pro-rata Annual Bonus
(based upon actual company performance and the days of employment in the calendar year of Termination), to be paid in a single lump sum no later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination. 

Employee shall also be entitled to a severance payment equal to (iii) the greater of two times Employee’s current Base Salary or the
minimum Base Salary due under the remaining Term, (iv) two times Employee’s average Annual Bonus paid to Employee in the prior three years (this bonus amount referred to as the “Severance Bonus”) and (v) the COBRA
Reimbursement (defined below). If an Employee’s first year bonus is to be included in the calculation of the Severance Bonus, and such bonus is pro-rated for the portion of the year the Employee was employed with the Company, then an annualized
amount shall be used for the calculation. If an Employee has not participated in three bonus cycles, then the Severance Bonus will reflect the shorter period (or target if the Employee has not participated in any bonus cycles). Items
(iii) and (iv) above shall be paid in a single lump sum within 30 days following the Date of Termination and the COBRA Reimbursement (item (v)) shall be paid as described below, but items (iii), (iv) and (v) are payable only if
and to the extent an irrevocable and valid Release (as hereinafter defined), has been signed by the Employee on or before the 30th day following the Date of Termination. 
 (b) Involuntary Termination without Cause/Constructive Termination during a Change in Control Protection Period. If the Employee’s employment termination qualifies under Section 9(a), but
occurs during a Change in Control Protection Period, the Company shall pay to Employee (i) Employee’s base Salary and accrued PTO through the date of Termination, paid within 30 days following the termination date and (ii) a pro-rata
Annual Bonus (based upon target bonus and the days of employment in the calendar year of Termination), to be within 30 days following the termination date. 

  
 8 

 Employee shall also be entitled to a severance payment equal to (iii) two times Employee’s current
Base Salary, (iv) two times Employee’s average Annual Bonus paid to Employee in the prior three years (this bonus amount referred to as the “Severance Bonus”) and (v) the COBRA Reimbursement (defined below). If an
Employee’s first year bonus is to be included in the calculation of the Severance Bonus, and such bonus is pro-rated for the portion of the year the Employee was employed with the Company, then an annualized amount shall be used for the
calculation. If an Employee has not participated in three bonus cycles, then the Severance Bonus will reflect the shorter period (or target if the Employee has not participated in any bonus cycles). Items (iii) and (iv) above shall be
paid in a single lump sum within 30 days following the Date of Termination and the COBRA Reimbursement (item (v)) shall be paid as described below, but items (iii), (iv) and (v) are payable only if and to the extent an irrevocable and
valid Release (as hereinafter defined), has been signed by the Employee on or before the 30th day following the Date of Termination. 
 (c) Nonrenewal Termination. Subject to Section 8(g), in the case of a Nonrenewal Termination, the Company shall pay to Employee (i) Employee’s base Salary and accrued PTO through the
date of Termination, paid within 30 days following the Termination Date. Employee shall also be entitled to a severance payment equal to (ii) the greater of two times Employee’s current Base Salary or the minimum Base Salary due under the
remaining Term, paid in a single lump sum within 30 days following the Date of Termination, and (iii) the COBRA Reimbursement (defined below), paid as on or before the 30th day following the Date of Termination (iv) a pro-rata Annual Bonus
(based upon actual company performance and the days of employment in the calendar year of Termination), to be paid in a single lump sum no later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination described below, but items (ii),
(iii) and (iv) are payable only if and to the extent an irrevocable and valid Release (as hereinafter defined), has been signed by the Employee. If the Company has offered the Employee a new employment agreement that is substantially
similar to the agreements of similarly situated Executives, and Employee declines to accept such new employment agreement, such declination will be considered a voluntary quit and no payments under this Section 9(c) shall be payable to
Employee. 
 (d) In the case of a Termination meeting the requirements to receive payment under Section 9(a), (b) or
(c), the Company shall reimburse Employee for the actual cost of COBRA coverage for 18 months (if the Employee timely elects COBRA coverage), to the extent the actual cost of COBRA coverage exceeds the amount that similarly situated active employees
pay for the same levels of coverage as elected by the Employee during the first 18 months of COBRA coverage (“COBRA Reimbursements”). The COBRA Reimbursements will be made to Employee on a taxable basis (less applicable taxes and
withholdings), no later than December 31 of each calendar year during the COBRA Reimbursement period. The COBRA Reimbursements will not be grossed up for any taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employee obtains employment with
another Company and becomes eligible to receive comparable benefits from such Company, the COBRA Reimbursements described in this clause (d) shall cease; and 

  
 9 

 (e) Employee shall be entitled to any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be
due to Employee in accordance with the terms and provisions of any agreements, plans or programs of the Company. 
 (f) No
Mitigation. Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any severance and non-competition payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment of otherwise. 

(g) Excise Tax. In the event that Employee becomes entitled to any payments or benefits under this Agreement and any portion of
such payments or benefits, when combined with any other payments or benefits provided to Employee (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by reason of the exercise of any stock options or the receipt of any shares of stock of
the Company), which in the absence of this Section 9(g) would be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the amount payable to
Employee under this Agreement shall, at the Employee’s election, either (i) be reduced to the largest amount or greatest right such that none of the amounts payable to Employee under this Agreement and any other payments or benefits
received or to be received by Employee as a result of, or in connection with, an event constituting a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code) or the termination of Employment (including a Constructive Termination) shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or (ii)be made in
full, with the Employee bearing full responsibility for any Excise Tax liability. The Company shall cooperate in good faith with Employee in making such determination. 
 (h) Special 409A Acknowledgement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, the payment of any and all amounts that are or may be payable under
this Section 9 is and shall be expressly subject to the applicable terms, conditions, covenants and stipulations set forth in Section 23 below with respect to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. 

 

	 	10.	RELEASE; CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS. 

Employee acknowledges and agrees that the applicable payments set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement constitute liquidated damages
for any claim by Employee of breach of contract or any other matters related to the non-renewal of this Agreement or termination of Employee’s employment by the Company hereunder. Furthermore, in order to receive any of the applicable payments
set forth in Section 9 above upon the termination of his/her employment, and as an express condition to the Company’s obligation to make such payments, (a) within 30 days following the Employee’s termination date,
(i) Employee shall execute and agree to be bound by an agreement providing for the waiver and general release of any and all claims arising out of or relating to Employee’s employment and termination of employment (the
“Release”), which Release shall be in such form as PRA’s Office of General Counsel may require, and (ii) to the extent the Release includes a statutory revocation/rescission period, such period shall have expired without Employee
having revoked the Release; and (b) Employee shall agree to continue to be bound by, and shall continue to comply with, all surviving obligations of Employee hereunder, including, without limitation, Employee’s obligations under Sections
10, 11 and 12 hereof.

	 	11.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

 (a)
Employee covenants and agrees that he will not at any time, either during the Term or thereafter, use, disclose or make accessible or available to any other person, firm, partnership, corporation or any other entity any Confidential Information (as
defined below) pertaining to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, except (i) while employed by the Company, in the business of and for the benefit of the Company, or (ii) when required to do so by a
subpoena, by any court of competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company, or by any administrative body or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order
the Company to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. For purposes of this agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean non-public information concerning the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ or
affiliates’ financial data, statistical data, strategic business plans, product development (or other proprietary product data), customer and supplier lists, customer and supplier information, information relating to practices, processes,
methods, trade secrets, marketing plans and other non-public, proprietary and confidential information of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include any information which
(x) is known generally to the public other than as a result of unauthorized disclosure by Employee, (y) becomes available to Employee on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
that lawfully obtained such information or (z) was available to Employee on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to Employee by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. In addition to and not in limitation of anything
in the foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed by Employee that any and all Confidential Information received by Employee during his/her Employment by the Company is deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement. In the
event Employee’s Employment is terminated hereunder for any reason, he immediately shall return to the Company all tangible Confidential Information (including any and all copies thereof) in his/her possession. 

(b) Employee and the Company agree that the covenants in this Section 11 regarding Confidential Information are reasonable covenants
under the circumstances and further agree that if, in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction, any such covenant is not reasonable or is unenforceable in any respect, such court shall have the right, power and authority to excise or
modify such provision or provisions of such covenants as appear to the court not reasonable or unenforceable and to enforce the remainder of the covenant as so amended, and to that end the provisions of this Section 11 shall be deemed
severable. Employee agrees that any breach of any covenant contained in this Section 11 would irreparably injure the Company. Accordingly, Employee agrees that the Company, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have in law or in
equity, may obtain an injunction against Employee from any court having jurisdiction over the matter restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Section 11. The Company may clawback any severance payments paid or payable to Employee
under Section 9 in the event that Employee breaches this Section 11.

 (a) As additional consideration for Employee’s employment with the Company, the compensation paid and payable to Employee hereunder and to induce the Company to execute and deliver to Employee this
Agreement, Employee agrees that during the Restricted Period (as defined in Section 12(d) below), without the prior written consent of the CEO of PRA, Employee shall not be, nor shall he assist or enable any person or entity (including, but not
limited to members of his/her immediate family or household) to become, a principal, manager, officer, director, agent, consultant or executive or management employee of, or directly or indirectly own more than 1% of any class or series of equity
securities in, any entity or business which at such time has material operations that are engaged in any business activity competitive (directly or indirectly) with the Business (as defined below) anywhere in or within one hundred fifty
(150) miles of the Company’s headquarters (a “Competing Entity”). As used in this Agreement, the term “Business” means Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an entity will not be deemed to
be a Competing Entity, and Employee or members of his/her immediate family will not be deemed to be engaged in the Business in violation of the terms of this Section 12(a), if (A) Employee is employed by an entity that is meaningfully
engaged in one or more enterprises whose principal business is other than the Business (the “Non-Competing Businesses”), (B) such entity’s relationship with Employee relates solely to the Non-Competing Businesses, and (C) if
requested by the Company, such entity and Employee provide the Company with reasonable assurances that Employee will have no direct or indirect involvement in the Business on behalf of such entity. 

(b) As additional consideration for Employee’s employment with the Company, the compensation paid and payable to Employee hereunder
and to induce the Company to execute and deliver to Employee this Agreement, Employee agrees that during the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of the Company, Employee shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any person or
entity (other than on behalf of the Company), directly or indirectly, (i) solicit the clients, employees, customers or suppliers of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to terminate their relationship or modify such relationship
in a manner that is adverse to the interests of the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries or (ii) engage, hire or solicit the employment of, whether on a full-time, part-time, consulting, advising, or any other basis, any employee who was
employed by the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries on the effective date of Employee’s termination or at any time during the six (6) months preceding such termination date. This provision does not prohibit the solicitation of
employees by means of a general advertisement. 
 (c) Employee agrees that the covenants of non-competition and non-solicitation
in this Section 12 are reasonable covenants under the circumstances and further agrees that if, in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction, any such covenants are not reasonable or are unenforceable in any respect, such court shall
have the right, power and authority to excise or modify such provision or provisions of these covenants as appear to the court not reasonable or unenforceable and to enforce the remainder of these covenants as so amended, and to that end the
provisions of this Section 12 shall be deemed severable. Employee agrees that any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 12 would irreparably injure the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Accordingly, Employee agrees
that the Company, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have in law or in equity, may obtain an injunction 

  
 12 

 
against Employee from any court having jurisdiction over the matter restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Section 12. The Company may clawback any severance payments paid or
payable to Employee under Section 9 in the event that Employee breaches this Section 12. 
 (d) The provisions of this
Section 12 shall be in effect for the duration of Employee’s employment and shall survive the termination for any reason of Employee’s Employment with the Company for a period of two years after the effective date of such termination
(the “Restricted Period”). The Company may elect to extend the Restricted Period for an additional twelve (12) months by increasing any required severance payment to the Employee by one times the sum of Employee’s then Base
Salary and one times the average of the last three years Bonus payment. 
  

	 	13.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY. 

 The limitation of liability and indemnity provisions of Section 8.1 of that certain Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company and Article 9 of that certain Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company are a contractual benefit to Employee and are a material consideration for Employee’s employment. 
  

	 	14.	NOTICES. 

 All notices and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if delivered personally or sent by facsimile transmission, overnight courier, or certified, registered or express mail, postage prepaid. Any such notice shall be
deemed given when so delivered personally or sent by facsimile transmission (provided that a confirmation copy is sent by overnight courier), one day after deposit with an overnight courier or, if mailed, five days after the date of deposit in the
United States mails, as follows (or to another address specified in writing by the recipient prior to the sending of such notice or communication):

authorized officer of the Company (other than Employee). Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no waiver by either party hereto of any breach by the other party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be
performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. 
  

	 	20.	FEES AND EXPENSES.

the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations and other authority promulgated pursuant to Section 409A of the Code to avoid a failure described in
Code Section 409A(a)(1), including, without limitation, deferring payment until the occurrence of a specified payment event described in Code Section 409A(a)(2). Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision hereof or document
pertaining hereto, (x) this Agreement shall be so construed and interpreted to meet all applicable requirements of Code Section 409A, and (y) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but more specifically: 

(a) All references to a termination of employment and separation from service shall mean and be administered to comply with the
definition of “separation from service” in Code Section 409A. 
 (b) If Employee is a “specified
employee” (as defined under Code Section 409A) at the time of separation from service, then to the extent that any amount payable under this Agreement constitutes “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A (and is not
otherwise excepted from Code Section 409A coverage, whether by virtue of being considered “separation pay” or a “short term deferral” or otherwise) and is payable to Employee based upon a separation from service (other than
death or “disability” as defined under Code Section 409A), such amount shall not be paid until the first to occur of (i) the first day following the six-month anniversary of Employee’s separation from service, or
(ii) Employee’s death. 
 (c) All expense reimbursements provided for under this Agreement shall comply with Code
Section 409A and shall be subject to the following requirements: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during Employee’s taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement to be provided in another

for another benefit. 

  
 15

separate payments for purposes of Code Section 409A.

 Titles to the Sections
in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the title of any Section. 
  

	 	25.	COUNTERPARTS. 

 This Agreement
may be executed in one or more counterparts, which together shall constitute one agreement. It shall not be necessary for each party to sign each counterpart so long as each party has signed at least one counterpart. 

 

	 	26.	SEVERABILITY. 

 Any term or
provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and
provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

$                    
	  	 	                , 2010	  

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, SURGIVISION, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of                         , or his assigns
(collectively, the “Holder”), the principal amount of                          Dollars (US
$                ), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described herein. 

1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Note, the following terms have the meanings
indicated: 
 “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which
banks in Memphis, Tennessee are required to be closed. 
 “Conversion Date” means the date a
Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company. 
 “Conversion Notice” means a written notice in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
 “Conversion Price” means (1) with
respect to an optional conversion pursuant to Section 5(a), $2.00, subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to Section 7; and (2) with respect to a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 5(b), the
lesser of: (A) $2.00, subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to Section 7, or (B) 80% of the public offering price of our common stock in our initial public offering, provided, however, in no event shall the
Conversion Price determined pursuant to this clause (2) be less than $1.00, subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to Section 7. 
 “Person” means any individual or entity. 

 2. Principal Amount. The principal amount represented by this
Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) is                      (US
$                    ). 
 3. Interest. The unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding hereunder shall bear interest from the date hereof until paid in full at a fixed rate of ten percent (10.0%) per annum.
Interest will accrue on this Note from and including its original issuance date on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30 day months. 
 4. Payment of Principal and Interest. Subject to earlier payment or conversion as provided for elsewhere in this Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder the entire unpaid principal amount and all
unpaid accrued interest under this Note in full on March 10, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”). If this Note is converted into Common Stock, all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in cash as of the Conversion Date.
Principal and interest due hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available federal funds or the equivalent at the address of the Holder set forth in Section 8 below or at such other
address as the Holder may designate. All payments made hereunder shall first be applied to interest then due and payable and any excess payment shall then be applied to reduce the principal amount. Upon payment in full of all principal and interest
payable hereunder, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company for cancellation. 
 5. Conversion
into Common Stock 
 (a) At the Option of the Holder. All or any portion of the principal amount of
this Note shall be convertible into shares of our common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof. The number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon any conversion pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall equal the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date. The Holder shall effect conversions
under this Section 5(a) by delivering to the Company a conversion notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”). If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal
amount of this Note, the Company shall honor such conversion to the extent permissible hereunder and shall promptly deliver to the Holder a schedule indicating the principal amount that has not been converted. 

(b) Mandatory Conversion. Simultaneous with the closing of the initial underwritten public offering of the
Company’s Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note shall automatically be converted into Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon a conversion pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall equal the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date. 

(c) 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 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 entire Note (taking into account the adjustments set forth in Section 7), 

  
 2 

 
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 nonassessable. 
 6. Mechanics of Conversion. 
 (a) Upon conversion of this
Note, the Company shall, as soon as practicable (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Conversion Date) issue or cause to be issued and 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
of Common Stock, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the Conversion Date. 
 (b) The Holder shall be required to deliver the original Note in order to effect a conversion hereunder. Upon surrender of this Note following one or more partial conversions, the Company shall promptly
deliver to the Holder a new note representing the remaining outstanding principal amount. 
 (c) The
Company’s obligations to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the
Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the
Holder in connection with the issuance of such shares of Common Stock. 
 (d) 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 6(d), be issuable upon conversion of
this Note, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. 

7. Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 7. 
 (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. To the extent that any dividend,
subdivision or combination is reflected in the determination of 

  
 3 

 
Conversion Price in accordance with clause (2)(B) in the definition of Conversion Price, no additional adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 7(a). Any adjustment made
pursuant to Section 7(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 7(a)(ii) or
Section 7(a)(iii) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. 
 (b) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. 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. 

(c) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 7, 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. 
 (d) 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, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of
the Company; (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating, or solicits stockholder approval for, any merger, consolidation or similar transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity; 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) Business Days prior to
the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to convert this Note prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. 
 8. Notices. All notices and
other communications required or permitted hereunder to be given to a party to this Note shall be in writing and shall be faxed, mailed by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, delivered by a national overnight delivery service, or otherwise
delivered by hand, electronically (including by email) or by messenger, addressed to such party’s address as set forth below:

9. Default and Remedies. 
 (a) An “Event of Default” under this Note shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(i) If the Company shall fail to make when due the payment of the principal amount or interest as required
by this Note, whether at the due date thereof or by acceleration thereof or otherwise; or 
 (ii)
The commencement by the Company of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings under any federal or applicable state law; or the commencement against the Company of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding

 (b) Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Holder may
declare the outstanding principal amount, and all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount, immediately due and payable, and such amount shall be collectible immediately or at any time after such Event of Default. The rights and remedies
provided by this Note shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. 
 10. Assignability. Neither party may assign this Note without the prior consent of the other party. No such assignment shall constitute a novation or release of the Company of the obligations
hereof or from any liability to the Holder. 
 11. Usury Laws. It is the intention of the Company and the
Holder to conform strictly to all applicable usury laws now or hereafter in force, and any interest payable under this Note shall be subject to reduction to an amount that is the maximum legal amount allowed under the applicable usury laws as now or
hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction over such matters. The aggregate of all interest (whether designated as interest, service charges, points or otherwise) contracted for, chargeable, or receivable under this Note shall under no
circumstances exceed the maximum legal rate upon the principal amount remaining unpaid from time to time. If such interest does exceed the maximum legal rate, it shall be deemed a mistake and such excess shall be canceled automatically and, if
theretofore paid, rebated to the Company or credited on the principal amount, or if this Note has been repaid, then such excess shall be rebated to the Company. 

12. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Any amendment hereto or waiver of any provision hereof must be in writing and signed by both the Company and the Holder. 

(b) Wherever in this Note reference is made to the Company or the Holder, such reference shall be deemed to include, as
applicable, a reference to their respective permitted successors and assigns, and the provisions of this Note shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of such permitted successors and assigns. 

(c) This Note shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to conflicts of law principles of any jurisdiction to the contrary. 
 (d) The captions of the
Sections of this Note are inserted solely for ease of reference and shall not be considered in the interpretation or construction of this Note. 
 (e) The Holder, by acceptance of this Note, hereby represents and warrants that this Note has been acquired by the Holder for investment only and not for resale or distribution hereof. The Holder, by
acceptance of this Note, further understands, covenants and agrees that the Company is under no obligation and has made no commitment to provide for registration of this Note or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note under the
Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. 

  
 6 

 (f) The Company waives presentment, notice and demand, notice of protest,
notice of demand and dishonor, and notice of nonpayment of this Note. 
 (g) In the event that any provision of
this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.
Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing
suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other
court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY
TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 (h) No delay in the exercise of any right or remedy of any party hereto
shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. 

(i) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that if it is necessary to enforce payment of this Note
through the engagement or efforts of an attorney or by suit, the Company shall pay reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses of counsel, and other costs of collection actually incurred by the Holder. 

(j) The Company may not prepay this Note, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Holder.

 (k) This Note may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of which
