2. CONVERSION.

2.1 Conversion in Next Financing. At the Next Financing Closing, the entire Balance then outstanding shall automatically be cancelled and converted into that number of shares of Conversion Stock obtained by dividing (a) the entire Balance by (b) the Conversion Price then in effect. Such conversion shall be deemed to occur under this Section 2.1 concurrently with the Next Financing Closing, without regard to whether Holder has then delivered to the Company or Parent, as applicable, this Note (or the Lost Note Documentation where applicable). At the Next Financing Closing, Holder shall deliver to the Company or Parent, as applicable, any documentation reasonably required by the Company or Parent, as applicable and, prior to termination of the Merger Agreement, shall deliver to Parent any documentation reasonably required by Parent, including without limitation all financing documents executed by the investors in connection with such Next Financing Closing.

2.2 Conversion at the Conversion Date or Maturity Date. If the entire Balance of this Note has not converted in a Next Financing, on the Conversion Date or Maturity Date, as applicable, the entire Balance under this Note shall convert into shares of Conversion Stock obtained by dividing (a) the entire Balance by (b) the Conversion Price effective at the Conversion Date or Maturity Date, as applicable. Such conversion shall have been deemed to have occurred (i) immediately after the effectiveness of the Merger Closing, if the Conversion Date is the date of the Merger Closing, (ii) at the close of business on the date immediately preceding the Conversion Date or (iii) at the Maturity Date. At the Conversion Date or Maturity Date, as applicable, Holder shall deliver to the Company or Parent, as

-3-

applicable, any documentation reasonably required by the Company or Parent, as applicable and, prior to termination of the Merger Agreement, shall deliver to Parent any documentation reasonably required by Parent, in connection with the conversion of this Note. The Company or Parent, as applicable, agrees to provide the Holder with at least five (5) days advance notice of the Conversion Date or Maturity Date, as applicable.

2.3 Termination of Rights. Except for the right to obtain certificates representing the Conversion Stock under Section 3, all rights with respect to this Note shall terminate upon the effective conversion of the entire Balance of the Note as provided in Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, whichever is applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder agrees to surrender this Note to the Company or Parent, as applicable (or Lost Note Documentation where applicable) as soon as practicable after conversion. In any event, Holder shall not be entitled to receive any stock certificates representing the shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note unless and until Holder has surrendered the original of this Note (or Lost Note Documentation where applicable).

2.4 SEC and Exchange Requirements. Any conversion of this Note into Parent Common Stock or other securities of Parent shall be contingent upon and subject in all respects to compliance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and Nasdaq listing rules and requirements.

3. CERTIFICATES; NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. Subject to Section 2.3, as soon as practicable after conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, as applicable, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of Holder and to be delivered to Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Conversion Stock to which Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of legal counsel of the Company, by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and by any agreement between the Company and Holder), together with any other securities and property to which Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. If upon any conversion of this Note (and after aggregating the amounts of all other Notes held by the same Holder which are converted at the same time as this Note), a fraction of a share would otherwise be issued, then in lieu of such fractional share, the Company shall pay to Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction of a share multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price.

4. ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS. So long as any of the Balance of this Note remains outstanding and the conversion right under Section 2 has not terminated, the number and character of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note upon an Actual Conversion Date and, to the extent set forth in this Section 4, the Conversion Price therefor, are each subject to adjustment upon each occurrence of an adjustment event described in Sections 4.1 through 4.4 occurring between the date this Note is issued and such Actual Conversion Date:

4.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Stock Dividends. The Conversion Price and the number of shares of Conversion Stock shall each be proportionally adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Conversion Stock without the payment of consideration to Parent therefor at any time during the VWAP Period.

4.2 Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If Parent shall, after the Merger Closing and before the Actual Conversion Date, make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders of its capital stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable with respect to the Conversion Stock that is payable in securities of the Company (other than issuances with respect to which adjustment is made under Sections 4.1 or 4.3), or in assets (other than cash

-4-

dividends) (each, a “Dividend Event”), and such dividend or other distribution is actually made, then, and in each such case, Holder, upon conversion of an Actual Conversion Amount at any time after such Dividend Event, shall receive, in addition to the Conversion Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Note, the securities or other assets that would have been issuable to Holder had Holder, immediately prior to such Dividend Event, converted such Actual Conversion Amount into Conversion Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the contingent value rights that may be issued to Parent securityholders in connection with the Merger be considered a dividend or distribution for purposes of this Section 4.2.

4.3 Adjustment for Consolidation or Merger. If, after the Merger Closing and before the Actual Conversion Date, Parent shall consolidate with or merge into one or more other corporations or other entities, other than in connection with the Merger, and pursuant to such consolidation or merger stock, other securities or other property is issued or paid to holders of Conversion Stock (each, a “Reorganization Event”), then, and in each such case, Holder, upon conversion of an Actual Conversion Amount after the consummation of such Reorganization Event, shall be entitled to receive (in lieu of the stock or other securities and property that Holder would have been entitled to receive under the terms of this Note upon such conversion but for such Reorganization Event), the stock or other securities or property that Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the consummation of such Reorganization Event if, immediately prior to such Reorganization Event, Holder had converted such Actual Conversion Amount into Conversion Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Note, and the successor corporation or other successor entity in such Reorganization Event shall duly execute and deliver to Holder a supplement to this Note acknowledging such corporation’s or other entity’s obligations under this Note; and in each such case, the terms of the Note shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the conversion of this Note after the consummation of such Reorganization Event.

4.4 Reserved.

4.5 Notice of Adjustments. The Company shall promptly give written notice of each adjustment of the Conversion Price or the number or type of shares of Conversion Stock or other securities or property issuable upon conversion of this Note that is required under this Section 4. The notice shall describe the adjustment or readjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is based.

4.6 No Change Necessary. The form of this Note may, but need not, be changed because of any adjustment in the Conversion Price or in the number or type of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon its conversion.

4.7 Reserved.

5. PROVISIONS RELATING TO STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS.

5.1 Rights as Investor. Upon conversion of the Balance in connection with the Next Financing, Holder shall be entitled to the rights and be subject to all other obligations of the investors in the Conversion Stock issued in the Next Financing.

5.2 No Voting or Other Rights. This Note does not entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company or Parent, as applicable, unless and until (and only to the extent that) this Note is actually converted into shares of the Company’s capital stock or Parent’s capital stock in accordance with its terms. In the absence of conversion of this Note into Conversion Stock, no provisions of this Note and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall cause Holder to be a stockholder of the Company or Parent for any purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, this Note does not entitle Holder to any contingent value rights that may be issued to Parent securityholders in connection with the Merger, regardless of whether the Note is converted into Parent securities.
