The issuance of Conversion Securities upon conversion of the Note Balance shall be upon the terms and subject to the conditions no less favorable than the terms and conditions of the Qualified Equity Financing, except that Conversion Shares issued in the Initial Public Offering will be restricted common stock, and not publicly traded common stock. The Holder 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 mutually and reasonably acceptable to Borrower Parent and the Holder whereby the Holder agrees to indemnify Borrower Parent from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) at the closing of the Qualified Equity Financing for cancellation; provided, however, that upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 6(b), 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.
(c) Optional Conversion.
(i) Non-Qualified Equity Financing. Upon the consummation of an equity financing that is not a Qualified Equity Financing or a Permitted Issuance (such financing, a “Non-Qualified Equity Financing”), all or a portion of the Note Balance shall be convertible at the option of the Holder into:
(1) that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the equity security sold by Borrower Parent in such Non-Qualified Equity Financing (“Non-Qualified Financing Shares”) determined by dividing (x) the Note Balance by (y) the applicable Note Conversion Price.

(ii) Change of Control. Upon notice of a Change of Control of Borrower Parent that is not a Permitted Issuance, all or a portion of the Note Balance shall be convertible at the option of the Holder into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the equity security sold by Borrower Parent in such Change of Control (“Change of Control Shares”) determined by dividing (x) the Note Balance by (y) the applicable Note Conversion Price. In addition, Borrower Parent shall issue a Warrant to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock as the Change of Control Shares (also, the “Warrant Shares”) for the lesser of (a) applicable Warrant Exercise Price, or (b) the exercise price of any warrants issued in the Change of Control transaction. The Borrowers shall provide Holder notice of any Change of Control in accordance with Section 10(c) below.
