not such Note shall be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
Subject to any restrictions on or conditions to transfer set forth in any Note, the holder of any

evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Note and (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably

company ("Investor"), or its registered assigns, in lawful money of the United States of America
the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand dollars ($250,000.00), or such lesser amount

Convertible Promissory Note (this "Note") on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to 5%
per annum, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days.
All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts
payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) June LJ, 2015 (the "Maturity
Date"), or (ii) when, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,

Note is subject, and to which Investor, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:
I. Payments.
(a) Interest. Accrued interest on this Note shall be payable at maturity.
(b) Voluntary Prepayment. Subject to the prior approval of a Majority in Interest
of Investors, the Company may prepay this Note at any time, in whole or in part, without any
premium or penalty, provided that (i) any prepayment of this Note may only be made in
connection with the prepayment of all Notes on a pro rata basis, based on the respective
aggregate outstanding principal amounts of each such Note and (ii) any such prepayment will be
EFTA01186444
applied first to the payment of expenses due under this Note, second to interest accrued on this
Note and third, if the amount of prepayment exceeds the amount of all such expenses and
accrued interest, to the payment of principal of this Note.
2. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an "Event
of Default" under this Note and the other Transaction Documents:
(a) Failure to Pay. The Company shall fail to pay (i) when due any principal
payment on the due date hereunder or (ii) any interest payment or other payment required under
the terms of this Note or any other Transaction Document on the date due and such payment
shall not have been made within five (5) Business Days after Investor gives written notice to the
Company of such failure to pay; or
(b) Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company shall
(i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself
or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its

involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (vi) take any action for the
purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or
(c) Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the
appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company, or of all or a
substantial part of the property thereof, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking
liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or the debts thereof under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced
and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within 60
days of commencement.
3. Rights of Investor upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (other
than an Event of Default described in Sections 2(b) or 2(c)) and at any time thereafter during the
continuance of such Event of Default, Investor may, with the written consent of a Majority in
Interest of Investors, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding Obligations
payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived,
anything contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 2(b) and
2(g), immediately and without notice, all outstanding Obligations payable by the Company
hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived,
anything contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, Investor may, with the written consent of a Majority in
Interest of Investors, exercise any other right power or remedy granted to it by the Transaction
-2-
EFTA01186445
Documents or otherwise permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or
both.
4. Conversion.
(a) Automatic Conversion. In the event the Company consummates, prior to the
Maturity Date, an equity financing pursuant to which it sells shares of a series of Preferred Stock
(the "Preferred Stock") with an aggregate sales price of not less than $5,000,000, excluding any
and all notes which are converted into preferred stock (including this Note and any other Notes
issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement), and with the principal purpose of raising
capital (a "Qualified Equity Financing"), then an amount equal to 120% of the sum of the
outstanding principal amount of and all accrued interest under this Note (the "Conversion
Amount") shall automatically convert into a number of shares of the Preferred Stock equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount by (y) the per share price of the
Preferred Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share.
(b) Automatic Conversion Procedure. The issuance of Preferred Stock upon
conversion of the Conversion Amount shall be upon the terms and subject to the conditions
applicable to the Qualified Equity Financing. Upon such conversion of the Conversion Amount,
the Investor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents
related to the Qualified Equity Financing; provided, however that such transaction documents
are substantially the same documents to be entered into with all other purchasers of the Preferred
Stock in connection with the Qualified Equity Financing; and provided further that the
transaction documents will not in any way limit the contractual rights of the Investor by virtue of
the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be held by the Investor upon conversion without the
consent of the Investor. The Investor 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 Investor agrees to indemnify the Company 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 4(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) Nonqualified Equity Securities. If, prior to the earlier of (A) a
Change of Control or (B) the Maturity Date, the Company sells equity securities in an equity
financing that does not constitute a Qualified Equity Financing (such equity securities, the
"Nonqualified Equity Securities"), then all or a portion of the Conversion Amount shall be
convertible at the option of the Investor into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Nonqualified Equity Securities determined by dividing such amount of the Conversion
Amount by the per share purchase price of the Nonqualified Equity Securities, rounded down to
the nearest whole share. As a condition precedent (which may be waived by Company) to
conversion of this Note as provided for in this Section 4(c)(i), Investor will be required to
execute the definitive stock purchase agreement and other agreements prepared in connection
with such equity financing.
-3-
EFTA01186446
(ii) Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs or an Initial
Public Offering occurs prior to a Qualified Equity Financing (and provided the Note has not been
converted into shares of Nonqualified Equity Securities in accordance with Section 4(c)(i)), then
Investor has the right, at Investor's option, to convert the Conversion Amount (calculated as of
immediately prior to such Change of Control or Initial Public Offering) into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Company's common stock at a price per share equal to the fair
market value of the Company's common stock at the time of such conversion; provided,
however, that in the event of a Change of Control, in lieu of converting this Note to common
stock pursuant to this Section 4(c)(ii), the Investor may elect to accelerate the Maturity Date of
this Note such that all unpaid principal and all accrued interest under this Note shall be due and
payable as of the date of the Change of Control. Before the Investor shall be entitled to convert
this Note into shares of common stock pursuant to this Section 4(c)(ii), the Investor shall execute
and deliver to the Company a common stock purchase agreement reasonably acceptable to the
Company containing customary representations and warranties and transfer restrictions
(including a 180-day lock-up agreement in connection with an initial public offering).
(iii) In the event that a Majority in Interest of Investors elect to convert
their Notes in accordance with any subsection of this Section 4(c), all Notes issued pursuant to
the Note Purchase Agreement (including this Note) shall be so converted.
(d) Optional Conversion Procedure. Before the Investor shall be entitled to
convert this Note into shares of the Company's stock pursuant Section 4(c), it shall surrender this
Note, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company and shall give written notice to the Company
at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 4(c), and
shall state therein the amount of the unpaid principal and accrued interest of this Note to be
converted and the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of stock are to
be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to the Investor
a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of stock to which the Investor shall be
entitled upon conversion (bearing such legends as are required by the applicable stock purchase
agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, and applicable state and federal securities laws in the
opinion of counsel to the Company), together with a replacement Note (if any principal amount
is not converted) and any other securities and property to which Investor is entitled upon such
conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the Investor for any cash
amounts payable as described in Section 4(e). The conversion shall be deemed to have been
made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of this Note, and the
Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of stock upon such conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as the record Investor or Investors of such shares of stock as of such date.
(e) 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 to Company pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon
conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified in this paragraph, the
Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and this
-4-
EFTA01186447
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.
(f) Notices of Record Date: Other Events. In the event of:
(i) Any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class
of securities of Company for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to
receive any dividend or other distribution or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise
acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any
other right; or
(ii) Any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of Company or any transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of Company to any other Person or any consolidation or merger involving Company; or
(iii) Any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-
up of the Company,
the Company will mail to the registered holder of this Note at least ten (10) days prior to the
