(i) “Maturity Date” shall be as set forth in each Note (as defined below).
“Next Equity Financing” shall mean the next sale (or series of related sales) by the Company of its Equity Securities following the date of this Agreement from which the Company receives gross proceeds of (i) not less than $6,000,000 (excluding the aggregate amount of debt securities converted into Equity Securities upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 below), or (ii) at the election of a holder of a Note, any amount less than $6,000,000.

(m) “Series B-3 Preferred Stock” shall mean shares of the Company’s Series B-3 Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
2. Amount and Terms of the Notes.
2.1 Issuance of Notes. In return for the Consideration paid by each Lender, the Company shall sell and issue to such Lender one or more Notes. Each Note shall have a principal balance equal to that portion of the Consideration, less the Purchase Price of the Warrant, paid by such Lender for the Note, as set forth in the Schedule of Lenders. Each Note shall be convertible into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2.2 below.
2.2 Right to Convert Notes.
(a) Next Equity Financing. Upon the closing of the Next Equity Financing, the principal and unpaid accrued interest of each Note will be automatically converted into, at the option of the holder thereof, either (i) the Equity Securities issued in the Next Equity Financing or (ii) shares of Series B-3 Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the written consent of holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) in interest of the aggregate principal amount of Notes, accrued interest on this Note may be paid in cash at the option of the Company. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest on a Note to be converted on the date of conversion, by the Conversion Price, as applicable. At least ten (10) business days prior to the closing of the next sale (or series of related sales) by the Company of its Equity Securities following the date of this Agreement (each a “Planned Financing”), the Company shall notify the holder of each Note in writing of the terms under which the Equity Securities of the Company will be sold in such Planned Financing (the “Financing Notice”). If the Planned Financing qualifies as a Next Equity Financing, then within five (5) business days after the Financing Notice is effectively given by the Company, a holder shall inform the Company of its election to convert the Note into either (x) the Equity Securities issued in the next Equity Financing or (y) shares of Series B-3 Preferred Stock. In the event that a holder fails to inform the Company of its election within such five (5) business day period, such holder’s Note shall convert into the Equity Securities issued in the Next Equity Financing. Any change in the terms under which the Equity Securities will be sold from those set forth in the Financing Notice shall require the provision of a new Financing Notice and an additional five (5) business days for a holder of each Note to make its election. The issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to the conversion of each Note shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Equity Securities sold in the Next Equity Financing.
(b) Maturity Conversion. If the Next Equity Financing has not occurred on or before the Maturity Date, the principal and unpaid accrued interest of each Note may be converted, at the option of the holder thereof, into Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest due on a Note to be converted on the date of conversion by the Conversion Price.
(c) Corporate Transaction or IPO. In the event of a Corporate Transaction or Initial Public Offering (each, a “Strategic Event”) prior to full payment of a Note or prior to the
time when a Note may be converted (as provided herein), all outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest due on such Note shall be converted into Conversion Shares immediately prior to such Strategic Event; provided, in the case of an Initial Public Offering, such conversion shall be deemed to take place prior to the Mandatory Conversion Time (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation). The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest due on a Note to be converted on the date of conversion by the Conversion Price. At least ten (10) business days prior to the closing of a Strategic Event, the Company shall notify the holder of each Note in writing of the occurrence of the Strategic Event (the “Strategic Event Notice”). Within five (5) business days after the Strategic Event Notice is effectively given by the Company, a holder shall inform the Company of its election to convert the Note into either (x) Series B-3 Preferred Stock or (y) any more recent series of the Company’s Equity Securities. In the event that a holder fails to inform the Company of its election within such five (5) business day period, such holder’s Note shall convert into Series B-3 Preferred Stock.
(d) No Fractional Shares. Upon the conversion of a Note into Conversion Shares, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of the Note would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the Note holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.
(e) Mechanics of Conversion. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the Note holder has surrendered the Note to the Company. Such conversion may be made contingent upon the closing of the Next Equity Financing, Initial Public Offering or Corporate Transaction.
3. Warrants. Upon the Closing (as defined in Section 4.1 below), and in return for the Company’s receipt of the Purchase Price of Warrant and the principal of the Notes, each Lender shall receive a warrant to purchase Common Stock in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrant”). Each Warrant held by a Lender shall be exercisable for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to six (6) shares of Common Stock for each one hundred (100) Conversion Shares issued to such Lender upon the conversion of such Lender’s Note in accordance with Section 2.2 above. The exercise price for the Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be $2.80 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Warrant.
4. Closing Mechanics.
4.1 Closing. The initial closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase of the Notes and issuance of the Warrants in return for the Consideration paid by each Lender shall take place at the offices of Faber Daeufer Itrato & Cabot PC, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 at 11 a.m. (Boston time), on , or at such other time and place as the Company and Lenders purchasing a majority in interest of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be sold at the Closing agree upon orally or in writing. At the Closing, each Lender shall deliver the Consideration to the Company and the Company shall deliver to each Lender one or more executed Notes and Warrants in return for the respective Consideration provided to the Company.
42 Subsequent Closings. In any subsequent closing (each a “Subsequent Closing”), the Company may sell additional Notes and Warrants subject to the terms of this Agreement to any party as it shall select, provided that the aggregate amount of Consideration does not exceed $3,950,000. Any subsequent purchasers of Notes and Warrants shall become a party to, and shall be entitled to receive Notes and Warrants in accordance with this Agreement. Each Subsequent Closing shall take place at such locations and at such times as shall be mutually agreed upon orally or in writing by the Company and such purchasers of additional Notes and Warrants. The Schedule of Purchasers to this Agreement shall be updated to reflect the sale of additional Notes and Warrants at each such Closing and the parties purchasing such additional Notes and Warrants.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the transactions provided for herein, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Lenders that:
5.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted.

5.2 Authorization. Except for the authorization and issuance of the shares issuable in connection with (a) the Next Equity Financing or (b) any more recent series of the Company’s Equity Securities, all corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants. The Company has taken all corporate action required to make all of the obligations of the Company reflected in the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants, the valid and enforceable obligations they purport to be except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights. The Company has authorized sufficient shares of Series B-3 Preferred Stock to allow for conversion of the Notes as described in Section 2.2.
5.3 Valid Issuance of Stock. The Common Stock to be issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Warrants will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, based in part upon the representations and warranties of the Lenders in this Agreement, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Conversion Shares to be issued, sold and delivered upon conversion of the Notes will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, based in part upon the representations and warranties of the Lenders in this Agreement, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
6. Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. In connection with the transactions provided for herein, each Lender hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, to the Company that:
6.1 Authorization. This Agreement constitutes such Lender’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. Such Lender represents that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.
6.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Such Lender acknowledges that this Agreement is made with Lender in reliance upon such Lender’s representation to the Company that the Notes, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares, and any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for Lender’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

(b) (i) Lender has notified the Company of the proposed disposition and has furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, Lender shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in extraordinary circumstances.
6.8 Legends. It is understood that the Securities may bear the following legend:
