     4. Conversion.

          (a) Automatic Conversion.

               (i) Next Equity Financing. If the Next Equity Financing occurs on or prior to the Maturity Date, then the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall automatically convert upon the closing of the Next Equity Financing into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Financing Stock at the Conversion Price.

               (ii) Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs on or prior to the Maturity Date and this Note has not otherwise been converted prior to such time, then the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall automatically convert immediately prior to such Change of Control into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Series C-3 Preferred Stock

at a price per share equal to $4.25 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event).

               (iii) Maturity Date. If this Note has not otherwise been converted by the Maturity Date, then upon the Maturity Date the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall automatically convert into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Series C-3 Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to $4.25 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event).

          (b) Voluntary Conversion. If an Unqualified Financing occurs on or prior to the Maturity Date and this Note has not otherwise been converted prior to such time, then the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Investor, upon the closing of the Unqualified Financing into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Preferred Stock issued in the Unqualified Financing at the original issue price of such shares of Preferred Stock.

          (c) Conversion Procedure.

               (i) General. If this Note is to be automatically converted, written notice shall be delivered to Investor at the address last shown on the records of the Company for Investor or given by Investor to the Company for the purpose of notice, notifying Investor of the conversion to be effected, specifying the conversion price, the principal amount of the Note to be converted, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, the date on which such conversion is expected to occur and calling upon such Investor to surrender to the Company, in the manner and at the place designated, the Note. Upon such conversion of this Note, 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 180-day lock-up agreement in connection with an initial public offering). 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 Investor for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 4(c)(ii). On and after the date of conversion of this Note, 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) 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 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 Investor any interest accrued on the amount converted and on the amount to be paid by Company pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified in this paragraph, 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.

     5. Subordination. The Obligations evidenced by this Note are hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of the Senior Indebtedness and any liens on property of the Company in favor of Investor are hereby expressly subordinated in priority to any liens on the Company’s property in favor of any holders of Senior Indebtedness. By acceptance of this Note, Xxxxxxxx agrees to execute and deliver customary forms of subordination agreement requested from time to time by holders of Senior Indebtedness, and as a condition to Investor’s rights hereunder, the Company may require that Investor execute such forms of subordination agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor shall be entitled to receive (i) equity securities of the Company from the conversion of all or any part of the Obligations and payments of cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares in connection with any such conversions, (ii) any note, instrument or other evidence of indebtedness which may be issued by the Company in exchange for or in substitution of this Note, provided that such note, instrument or other evidence of indebtedness is subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Section 5 and (iii) other payments consented to in writing by holders of Senior Indebtedness.
