Subject to the conversion provisions of Article 2, the unpaid principal balance of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall due and payable in full on the earlier of: (a) the date that is six (6) months after the date of issuance hereof (the “Maturity Date”) or (b) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

Section 1.4 Prepayment or Conversion. Upon thirty (30) days’ written notice by the Company to the Holders at any time at least thirty (30) days before the Maturity Date (“Prepayment Notice”), each Holder shall have the option to: (i) have the Company prepay the entire unpaid principal amount outstanding under this Note and the accrued interest thereto (to the extent not previously converted in accordance with the terms of this Note), without penalty or premium or (ii) convert this Note pursuant to Article 2 below. If a Holder has not completed its election above by written notice to the Company within ten (10) days after the date of the Prepayment Notice, it shall be assumed that the Holder elected to convert pursuant to Section 1.4(ii) above.

Article 2 – CONVERSION

Section 2.1 Optional Conversion. The Holder may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of the entire unpaid principal amount outstanding under this Note and the accrued interest thereon (the “Conversion Amount”) into fully paid and non-assessable shares (“Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), at any time prior to the Maturity Date, with such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, contractual or otherwise, as are applicable to the Common Stock, such number of Shares shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest under this Note on the date of conversion by (b) [four dollars and seventy-five cents $4.75] (as appropriately adjusted for any forward or reverse stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock distribution, stock dividend or similar events)(the “Conversion Price”). If the Holder wishes to exercise the Holder’s right to effect such a conversion, the Holder shall provide the Company with a written notice of such election, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date.

Section 2.2 Surrender of Note; Issuance of Stock Certificates; Joinder. As promptly as practicable after the conversion of this Note as provided in Section 2.1, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company for cancellation, whereupon the Company shall either, and at the Company’s sole discretion (a) issue and deliver to the Holder, in the name of the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Shares issuable upon the conversion of this Note or (b) in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Company may issue the shares in book entry or other electronic format through a transfer agent. As a condition to any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 2.1, the Holder shall execute and deliver to the Company an agreement to become a party to (i) that certain Stockholders’ Agreement, by and between the Company, Samer Tawfik and the persons named therein, attached as Exhibit C to the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), and, if applicable, the Shares shall bear such transfer restriction legends as may be required pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement and (ii) any other documents as the Company shall reasonably request for the Holder with respect to the Shares issued upon such conversion, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and as a condition to any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 2.1, the Holder shall execute and deliver to the Company an agreement to become a party to the agreements of the type listed in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) to which the holders of the securities into which this Note is converted are then parties or are then becoming parties.

Section 2.4 Anti-Dilution Adjustment. The Conversion Price shall be subject to appropriate adjustment so as to protect the rights of Lender upon the occurrence on or after the issuance of the Note of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, combination, consolidation or other similar transaction. Upon each occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Company, including, upon the occurrence of any merger, combination, consolidation or other similar transaction, the issuance to Lender of any securities into which this Note shall be converted by operation of law or pursuant to the express terms of such transaction provided that such transaction has been approved by the board of directors of the Company), so that Holder, upon any conversion of this Note, shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other property, including cash or securities, that Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the date of such event, or if such event has a record date, then the record date applicable to such event. An adjustment made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall become effective retroactively to the close of business on the day upon which such event is affected.
