This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Convertible Note Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the original Holder hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”). This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Notes of the Company (which Notes are substantively substantially identical except for the variations necessary to express the name of the Holder, number, Commencement Interest Date and the principal amount under each Note), which Notes together are designated “Series A Notes”.
1. Application of Payments. All payments of principal and interest shall be in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be applied first to any and all costs, expenses and other charges then owed the Holder by Payor, second, to accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter to the unpaid principal balance hereof.
2. Maturity Date. Unless this Note has been converted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note or unless earlier accelerated by the terms of this Note, the principal amount hereof, together with all unpaid accrued interest hereon and all other fees, costs and charges, if any, shall be due and payable on January 31, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). No payments of principal or interest are required hereunder until the Maturity Date, except as otherwise provided herein. If this Note is not repaid in full when due (either upon the Maturity Date or upon an Event of Default or otherwise), then the default interest rate shall be six percent per annum (6%), which shall continue to accrue on the balance of any unpaid principal until such balance is paid in full.

3. Prepayment. Prior to the Maturity Date, this Note may not be prepaid by Payor, in whole or in part, except with the express written consent of the Holder or a “Majority Holders” (as defined below).
4. Events of Default.

(b) a failure by Payor to perform any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Note or the Purchase Agreement and such default is not cured by Payor within sixty (60) days after the Holder has given Payor written notice of such default; or
(c) the institution by Payor of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or other similar official of Payor, or the making by Payor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by Payor in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or
(d) if, within ninety (90) days after the commencement of an action against Payor seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, dissolution or similar relief, such action shall not have been dismissed.

Any accrued interest outstanding at the time of the conversion shall be paid in cash by the Company. This Note shall convert into the number of shares at the time of the “Next Equity Financing” equals to ___,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Exercise Price”) This Note shall be deemed automatically cancelled immediately upon such conversion.

(b) In the event of the “Company’s Sale”, defined below, at the option of Payor, the principal hereunder and, at the option of the Payor, shall automatically be converted (regardless of whether or not the Note is surrendered to Payor) into the number of shares (the “Company’s Sale Stock”) equals to ____,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “Exercise Price”). This Note shall be deemed automatically cancelled immediately upon such conversion.

8. No Rights or Liabilities as a Stockholder. This Note does not by itself entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

9. Assignment. The Company and Holder hereby agree that neither this Note nor any rights hereunder may be assigned, conveyed or transferred, in whole or in part, without the Company’s prior written consent, which the Company may withhold in its sole discretion; provided, however, that this Note may be assigned, conveyed or transferred without the prior written consent of the Company to any person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Holder; provided, further, that such transferee executes an acknowledgement that such transferee is subject to all the terms and conditions of this Note and satisfies the Company as to compliance with State and federal securities law as provided in the Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to re-affirmation by transferee that it confirms as to itself all of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement.

Upon request by the Company, Holder shall enter into any further agreement in writing in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such underwriters to effectuate this lock-up. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of the Lock-up Period.

Any such amendment or termination shall apply to all such Series A Notes and the holders thereof whether any particular Holder consented or not.
15. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in whole or in part or in any respect, or in the event any one or more of the provisions of this Note operate or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Note, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Note. In such instance, this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain operative and in full force and effect and in no way shall be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.
16. No Setoff or Counterclaim. All payments by Payor under this Note shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and be free and clear and without any deductions or withholding for any taxes or fees of any nature whatsoever, unless the obligation to make such deduction or withholding is imposed by law.
17. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission on the part of the Holder in exercising any right under this Note shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of the Holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other right on any future occasion.
