(c) Conversion Procedure.

(i) Conversion Pursuant to Section 4(a). 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 Qualified Financing and the applicable Conversion Price, the principal amount of the Note to be converted, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, and the date on which such Qualified Financing is expected to occur, providing Investor with the opportunity to elect to convert the Note into shares of New Securities, and, upon the Company’s receipt of conversion elections from a Super Majority in Interest of Investors, calling upon Investor to surrender to the Company, in the manner and at the place designated, this 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), with all the rights of a purchaser in the Qualified Financing. 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 and subject to the Company’s receipt of elections from a Majority in Interest of Investors, 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)(iv). Any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be deemed to have been made as of the closing of the Qualified Financing, and on and after such date 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) Conversion Pursuant to Section 4(b)(i). Before this Note shall be converted into shares of Series E Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 4(b) and assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, Investor shall surrender 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) and give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office of Investor’s election to convert the same pursuant to Section 4(b), and shall state therein the amount of the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be converted. Upon such conversion of this Note, Investor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents entered into by other purchasers of the Series E Preferred Stock, 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), with all the rights of a purchaser of Series E Preferred Stock.

issue and deliver to such Investor a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock 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)(iv). Any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4(b) shall be deemed to have been made upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this Section 4(c)(ii), and on and after such date the Persons entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares.

(iii) Conversion Pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii). 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 election of a Majority in Interest of Major Investors to convert all Notes held by such electing Major Investors and all non-Major Investors into shares of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii), the principal amount of the Note to be converted, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, and the date on which such conversion became effective, and calling upon Investor to surrender to the Company, in the manner and at the place designated, this Note. Upon such conversion of this Note and receipt of such notice, Investor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents entered into by other purchasers of the Series E Preferred Stock (including any Investor that has already converted his, her or its Note into shares of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(b)(i)), 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), with all the rights of a purchaser of Series E Preferred Stock. 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) for cancellation; provided, however, that upon the Company’s receipt of elections from a Majority in Interest of Major Investors, 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 of Series E Preferred Stock 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(d)(iv). Any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have been made as of the Company’s receipt of elections for conversion pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) from a Majority in Interest of Major Investors, and on and after such date the Persons entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares.

(iv) Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.

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. Upon conversion, the Company, at its expense, shall take all measures necessary or appropriate to permit such conversion to occur as promptly as practicable and otherwise comply with all of its obligations hereunder, including, all necessary actions, if any, to authorize the applicable class and amount of Company capital stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and any other action necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and to permit the conversion to occur as promptly as practicable.

(e) Notices of Record Date. In the event of:

(i) Any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities of the 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
