BASIC TERMS.

(a)    Series of Notes. This convertible promissory note (the “Note”) is issued as part of a series of notes designated by the Note Series above (collectively, the “Notes”) and issued in a series of multiple closings to certain persons and entities (collectively, the “Holders”).

  2.

CONVERSION AND REPAYMENT.

(a)    Conversion upon a Qualified Financing. In the event that the Company issues and sells shares of its equity securities (the “Equity Securities”) to investors (the “Investors”) on or before the Maturity Date in an equity financing with total proceeds to the Company of not less than $10,000,000 (excluding the conversion of the Notes and any other convertible securities issued for capital raising purposes (e.g., Simple Agreements for Future Equity)) (a “Qualified Financing”), then the outstanding


principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into such Equity Securities sold in the Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the price paid per share for Equity Securities by the Investors in the Qualified Financing multiplied by 0.80. The issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Equity Securities sold in the Qualified Financing. Notwithstanding this paragraph, if the conversion price of the Notes as determined pursuant to this paragraph (the “QF Conversion Price”) is less than the price per share at which Equity Securities are issued in the Qualified Financing, the Company may, solely at its option, elect to convert this Note into shares of a newly created series of preferred stock having the identical rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as the Equity Securities issued in the Qualified Financing, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions, other than with respect to: (i) the per share liquidation preference and the conversion price for purposes of price-based anti-dilution protection, which will equal the QF Conversion Price; and (ii) the per share dividend, which will be the same percentage of the QF Conversion Price as applied to determine the per share dividends of new Investors in the Qualified Financing relative to the purchase price paid by such Investors.

(b)    Conversion upon other Financings. In the event that the Company issues and sells Equity Securities to Investors on or before the Maturity Date in an equity financing that does not qualify as a Qualified Financing (a “Non-Qualified Financing”), then at the option of either (x) the Requisite Holders or (y) the Holder, the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into such Equity Securities sold in the Non-Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the price paid per share for Equity Securities by the Investors in the Non-Qualified Financing multiplied by 0.80 (provided that in the event of conversion requested by the Requisite Holders, all of the Notes shall be converted upon the same terms). The issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Equity Securities sold in the Non-Qualified Financing. Notwithstanding this paragraph, if the conversion price of the Notes as determined pursuant to this paragraph (the “NQF Conversion Price”) is less than the price per share at which Equity Securities are issued in the Non-Qualified Financing, then upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2(b), the Company may, solely at its option, elect to convert this Note into shares of a newly created series of preferred stock having the identical rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as the Equity Securities issued in the Non-Qualified Financing, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions, other than with respect to: (i) the per share liquidation preference and the conversion price for purposes of price-based anti-dilution protection, which will equal the NQF Conversion Price; and (ii) the per share dividend, which will be the same percentage of the NQF Conversion Price as applied to determine the per share dividends of new Investors in the Non-Qualified Financing relative to the purchase price paid by such Investors.

(c)    Maturity Date Conversion. In the event that this Note remains outstanding on the Maturity Date, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall upon the election of the Holder given prior to the Maturity Date, convert as of the Maturity Date into shares of a newly created series of the Company’s preferred stock (the “Series C-1 Preferred”) at a conversion price equal to the price paid per share for the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock and which will have identical rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, other than the Series C-1 Preferred shall be entitled to no vote on any matters submitted to the Company’s stockholders (the “Maturity Date Conversion”). The Series C-1 Preferred will be subject to the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, by and among the Company and the Investors party thereto, dated as of December 16, 2014 (the “IRA”) and the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, by and among the Company and the Investors party thereto, dated as of December 16, 2014 (the “Voting Agreement”), provided, however, that the Series C-1 Preferred will not be included in the voting or amendment thresholds under such agreements. In the event of a Maturity Date Conversion by any of the Holders of the Notes, the

Company and the Holder, and each of the Holder’s affiliates that holds any shares of capital stock of the Company as of the date of such Maturity Date Conversion, shall amend the IRA, the Voting Agreement and the Company’s certificate of incorporation to include the Series C-1 Preferred.

(d)    Change of Control. If the Company consummates a Change of Control (as defined below) while this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall provide the Holder with at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof and shall repay the Holder in cash in an amount equal to 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus any unpaid accrued interest on the original principal; provided however, that, if requested in writing by (x) the Requisite Holders or (y) the Holder, in lieu of such repayment, the outstanding principal amount and unpaid accrued interest thereon shall convert into shares of the then-most recently issued series of preferred stock of the Company issued in a bona fide equity financing transaction at a conversion price equal to the lowest price paid per share by investors in such financing, which conversion shall take place immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control (provided that in the event of conversion requested by the Requisite Holders, all of the Notes shall be converted upon the same terms). For purposes of this Note, a “Change of Control” means (i) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the shares of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, continue to represent a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization; (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of 50% of the Company’s voting power is transferred; or (iii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the Company’s material intellectual property; provided that a Change of Control shall not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor, indebtedness of the Company is cancelled, or converted or a combination thereof. The Company shall give the Holder notice of a Change of Control not less than 10 days prior to the anticipated date of consummation of the Change of Control. Any repayment pursuant to this paragraph in connection with a Change of Control shall be subject to any required tax withholdings, and may be made by the Company (or any party to such Change of Control or its agent) following the Change of Control in connection with payment procedures established in connection with such Change of Control.

(e)    Procedure for Conversion. In connection with any conversion of this Note into capital stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and deliver to the Company any documentation reasonably required by the Company (including, in the case of a Qualified Financing, all financing documents executed by other investors in connection with such Qualified Financing). The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the capital stock into which this Note may convert until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company and delivered to the Company any such documentation. Upon the conversion of this Note into capital stock pursuant to the terms hereof, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the Holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the price at which this Note converts.

(f)    Interest Accrual. If a Change of Control or Qualified Financing is consummated, all interest on this Note shall be deemed to have stopped accruing as of a date selected by the Company that is not more than 10 days prior to the signing of the definitive agreement for the Change of Control or Qualified Financing.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

(a)    Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder as of the date the first Note was issued as follows:

(i)    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. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.

(ii)    Corporate Power. The Company has all requisite corporate power to issue this Note and to carry out and perform its obligations under this Note. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved the issuance of this Note based upon a reasonable belief that the issuance of this Note is appropriate for the Company after reasonable inquiry concerning the Company’s financing objectives and financial situation.

(iii)    Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, the Board and the Company’s stockholders necessary for the issuance and delivery of this Note has been taken. This Note constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors and, with respect to rights to indemnity, subject to federal and state securities laws. Any securities issued upon conversion of this Note (the “Conversion Securities”), when issued in compliance with the provisions of this Note, will be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of any liens or encumbrances and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and securities laws.

(iv)    Governmental Consents. All consents, approvals, orders or authorizations of, or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with, any governmental authority required on the part of the Company in connection with issuance of this Note has been obtained.

(v)    Compliance with Laws. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties, which violation of which would materially and adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations or prospects of the Company.

(vi)    Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default of any term of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or of any provision of any mortgage, indenture or contract to which it is a party and by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ, other than such violation(s) that would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this Note will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company has obtained all waivers reasonably necessary with respect to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights, including any notice or offering periods provided for as part of any such rights, in order for the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder without any third party obtaining any rights to cause the Company to offer or issue any securities of the Company as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

(vii)    No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Company Covered Person (as defined below) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii), as modified by Rules 506(d)(2) and (d)(3), under the Act (“Disqualification Events”). To the Company’s knowledge, no Company Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent required, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Act. For purposes of this Note, “Company Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Act; provided, however, that Company Covered Persons do not include (a) any Holder, or (b) any person or entity that is deemed to be an affiliated issuer of the Company solely as a result of the relationship between the Company and any Holder.

(viii)    Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holder contained in subsection (b) below, the offer, issue, and sale of this Note and any Conversion Securities are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act, and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.

(ix)    Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of this Note solely for the operation of its business, and not for any personal, family or household purpose.

(b)    Representations and Warranties of the Holder. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof as follows:

(i)    Purchase for Own Account.

(ii)    Information and Sophistication.

(iii)    Ability to Bear Economic Risk.

(iv)    Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:

(1)    There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(2)    The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Act or any applicable state securities laws, provided that no such opinion shall be required for dispositions in compliance with Rule 144 under the Act, except in unusual circumstances.

(3)    Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Holder to a partner (or retired partner) or member (or retired member) of the Holder in accordance with partnership or limited liability company interests, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were the Holders hereunder.

(v)    Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act.

(vi)    No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. The Holder represents and warrants that neither (A) the Holder nor (B) any entity that controls the Holder or is under the control of, or under common control with, the Holder, is subject to any Disqualification Event, except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Act and disclosed in writing in reasonable detail to the Company. The Holder represents that the Holder has exercised reasonable care to determine the accuracy of the representation made by the Holder in this paragraph, and agrees to notify the Company if the Holder becomes aware of any fact that makes the representation given by the Holder hereunder inaccurate.

(vii)    Foreign Investors. If the Holder is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), the Holder hereby represents that he, she or it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Note, including (A) the legal requirements within the Holder’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (B) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (C) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (D) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Securities. The Holder’s subscription, payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction.

(viii)    Forward-Looking Statements. With respect to any forecasts, projections of results and other forward-looking statements and information provided to the Holder, the Holder acknowledges that the Company represents to the Holder that such statements were prepared based upon assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company at the time of preparation.
