CONVERTIBLE NOTE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 16, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Capnia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with offices at 2445 Faber Place, Suite 250, Palo Alto, CA 94303, and the persons and entities listed on the schedule of investors attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Investor is willing to purchase from the Company, and the Company is willing to sell to such Investor, a convertible promissory note in the principal amount set forth opposite such Investor’s name on the schedule of investors attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Schedule of Investors”), together with a corresponding warrant to acquire shares of the Company’s capital stock; and

WHEREAS, unless otherwise stated, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the form of Note (as defined below).

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties, and conditions set forth below, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants to Purchase Stock.

1.1 Convertible Promissory Notes. Each Investor, severally and not jointly, agrees, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement, to lend to the Company the sum set forth on Exhibit A opposite such Investor’s name (individually, a “Loan,” and collectively, the “Loans”) at the applicable Closing (as defined below). Each Investor’s Loan shall be evidenced by a convertible promissory note, dated as of the date of the applicable Closing, in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”).

1.2 Warrant to Purchase Shares. Concurrently with the sale and issuance of the Notes to the Investors, the Company will issue to each Investor a warrant, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to that number of shares of Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) as set forth in the Warrant, for a purchase price equal to $0.0001 times the principal amount of the corresponding Note.

1.3 Place and Date of Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the purchase, sale and issuance of the Notes and the Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) shall take

place at one (1) or more closings (each of which is referred to in this Agreement as a “Closing”). The initial Closing (the “Initial Closing”) will be held at the offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, 650 Page Mill Rd., Palo Alto, California 94304, at 3:00 p.m. local time on the Effective Date, or at such other time and place as the parties shall mutually agree (the “Initial Closing Date”). In the event the Investors do not purchase Notes representing the aggregate amount of $2,000,000 at the Initial Closing, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company may sell and issue at one or more subsequent Closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”), at such time and place as determined by the Company, in its sole discretion (the “Subsequent Closing Date”), up to the balance of the unissued Notes either to: (a) Investors that are purchasing their respective pro rata portions of the Notes (such pro rata portions determined based on the Investors’ percentage ownership of the outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company, measured as of the Initial Closing); (b) Investors that have previously purchased in full their pro rata portions of the Notes, in such proportions as determined by the Company in its sole discretion; or (c) such persons or entities as may be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Investors holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes. The Company may conduct such Subsequent Closings until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that is sixty (60) days following the Initial Closing; or (ii) such time as Notes representing the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 become subscribed for, and purchased by, the Investors (the end of such period, the “Final Closing Date”). Each of the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing conducted on or before the Final Closing Date (if applicable), shall be referred to herein as a “Closing,” and each of the Initial Closing Date and any Subsequent Closing Date up to the Final Closing Date (if applicable), shall be referred to herein as a “Closing Date.” Should any such sales of Notes be made by the Company at a Subsequent Closing, then the Company shall prepare and distribute to the Investors, either before or after any such Subsequent Closing Date, a revised Schedule of Investors. Unless already a party to this Agreement, each subsequent Investor that purchases Notes at a Subsequent Closing shall become a party to this Agreement.

1.4 Delivery. At each Closing, the Company will deliver to each applicable Investor a Note and Warrant to be purchased by such Investor, against receipt by the Company of the corresponding purchase price set forth on the Schedule of Investors (the “Purchase Price”). At each Closing, each applicable Investor shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price in respect of the Note and Warrant being purchased by such Investor, as set forth on the Schedule of Investors.

2. Authorization. The Company has authorized the sale and issuance of Notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000,000.

Neither this Agreement nor any other written statements or certificates made or delivered in connection herewith, when taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, and only with respect to such Investor, to the Company with respect to such Investor’s purchase of the Securities, as follows:

4.1 Power; Authorization. Such Investor has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by such Investor, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as: (a) limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; and (b) limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

4.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such Investor in reliance upon such Investor’s representation to the Company, which by such Investor’s execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Securities will be acquired for investment for such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof.

4.3 Reliance upon Investor’s Representations. Such Investor understands that the Securities are not registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of the Securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Investors’ representations set forth herein.

4.4 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has received all the information such Investor considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Securities. Such Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the Company’s business, properties, prospects and financial condition and to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to such Investor or to which such Investor had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3 or the right of such Investor to rely thereon.

4.5 Investment Experience; Economic Risk. Such Investor understands that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that an investment in the Company

-5-

involves substantial risks. Such Investor represents to the Company that except as otherwise disclosed to the Company, in writing, prior to such Investor’s execution of this Agreement, such Investor is an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act) or such Investor is experienced in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies in a similar stage of development to that of the Company and acknowledges that such Investor is able to fend for himself, herself or itself. Such Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. Such Investor can bear the economic risk of such Investor’s investment and is able, without impairing such Investor’s financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of such Investor’s investment. If other than an individual, such Investor also represents that such Investor has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

4.6 Residency. In the case of an Investor who is an individual, the state of such Investor’s residency, or, in the case of an Investor that is a corporation, partnership or other entity, the state of such Investor’s principal place of business, is correctly set forth on the Schedule of Investors.

4.7 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such federal securities laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In connection therewith, such Investor represents that it is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one (1) year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares being sold during any three (3)-month period not exceeding specified limitations, each as applicable.

4.8 Brokers or Finders. The Company has not, and will not, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by such Investor, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.

4.9 Investment Representations, Warranties and Covenants by Non-United States Persons. If such Investor is not a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)) or is deemed not to be a U.S. person under Rule 902(k)(2) of the Securities Act, such Investor has been advised and acknowledges that: (a) in issuing and selling the Securities to such Investor pursuant to this Agreement, the Company is relying upon the “safe harbor” provided by Regulation S and/or on Section 4(2) under the Securities Act; (b) it is a condition to the availability of the Regulation S “safe harbor” that the Securities not be offered or sold in the United States or to a U.S. person until the expiration of a one (1)-year “distribution compliance period” (or a six (6)-month “distribution compliance period,” if the issuer is a “reporting

-6-

issuer,” as defined in Regulation S) following the Closing Date; (c) notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the expiration of the one (1)-year “distribution compliance period” (or six (6)-month “distribution compliance period,” if the issuer is a “reporting issuer,” as defined in Regulation S) after the Closing (the “Restricted Period”), the Securities may be offered and sold by the holder thereof only if such offer and sale is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and either: (i) if the offer or sale is within the United States or to or for the account of a U.S. person (as such terms are defined in Regulation S), the securities are offered and sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or (ii) the offer and sale is outside the United States and to other than a U.S. person, and (d) until the expiration of the Restricted Period, such Investor, its agents or its representatives have not and will not solicit offers to buy, offer for sale or sell any of the Securities, or any beneficial interest therein in the United States or to or for the account of a U.S. person, unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

4.10 Representations by Non-United States Persons. If such Investor is not a U.S. person, such Investor is satisfied as to the full observance of the laws of the Investor’s jurisdiction in connection with any offer to acquire the Securities or any use of the Agreement, including: (a) the legal requirements within such Investor’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 such Securities. Such Investor’s subscription and payment for, and the Investor’s continued beneficial ownership of, the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Investor’s jurisdiction.

4.11 Market Standoff. Such Investor agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering or first secondary public offering, as applicable, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to initially exceed one hundred eighty (l80) calendar days and as may be extended for up to two (2) additional 17-day periods) (the “Lock-Up Period”): (a) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company, including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether now owned or hereafter acquired); or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any securities of the Company, including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether now owned or hereafter acquired), whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of securities, in cash or otherwise; provided that all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s voting securities are bound by and have entered into similar agreements. The foregoing covenants shall apply to the Company’s initial public offering of equity securities and to the Company’s first secondary public offering of equity securities, but it shall not apply to the sale of any shares by an Investor to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement. Such Investor

-7-

agrees to execute an agreement(s) reflecting any transaction described in clauses (a) and (b) above as may be requested by the managing underwriters at the time of the initial public offering, and further agrees that the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with its transfer agent in order to enforce the covenants set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s initial public offering are intended third party beneficiaries of the covenants in this Section 4.11 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce such covenants as though they were a party hereto. Any release from the Lock-Up Period shall be on a pro rata basis based upon the number of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Rights Agreement) held; provided, however, that one (1) or more selective releases from the Lock-Up Period not on a pro rata basis may be made with the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities not so released.
