Upon such conversion of this Note, the Investor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents entered into by other purchasers participating in the Qualified Financing, including a purchase agreement, an investor rights agreement and other ancillary agreements, with customary representations and warranties and transfer restrictions (including, without limitation, a lock-up agreement inconnection with an initial public offering similar in substance and form to the same agreements executed by the executive officers of the Company; provided, however, in no event shall such lock-up period exceed one hundred eighty (180) days). The Investor also agrees to deliver the original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) at the closing of the Qualified Financing for cancellation; provided, however, that upon the closing of the Qualified Financing, this Note shall be deemed converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this sentence. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Investor a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which Investor shall be entitled upon such conversion, including a check payable to the Investor for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 4(c)(iii). Any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the closing of the Qualified Financing and on and after such date the Persons entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares.
(ii) Conversion Pursuant to Section 4(b). Before the Investor shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock, the Investor shall surrender this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) and give written notice (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company at its principal corporate office of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 4(b), and shall state therein the amount of the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be converted. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Investor a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which the Investor shall be entitled upon such conversion, including a check payable to the Investor for any cash amounts payable as described in this Section 4(c)(iii). Any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4(b) shall be deemed to have been made upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this Section 4(c)(ii) and on and after such date the Persons entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares.
(iii) Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to such Investor an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable conversion price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence. In addition, to the extent not converted into shares of capital stock, the Company shall pay to such Investor any interest accrued on the amount converted and on the amount to be paid to the Company pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified in this paragraph, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and this Note shall be deemed of no further force or effect, whether or not the original of this Note has been delivered to the Company for cancellation.
