1. Loan Agreement. This Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) is one of several promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and the investors party thereto dated as of December , 2018 (the “Agreement”).

Accrual of interest will commence on the date of this Note, will continue until this Note is fully paid, and will be payable in a single installment at maturity as set forth below. The interest rate will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 365-day year. If not sooner converted as provided below, the entire unpaid principal balance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, will be due and payable in cash on June 30, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”).

All payments of interest and principal will be made in lawful money of the United States of America and will be made pro rata among all holders of Series Notes, without any deduction by way of set-off, counterclaim, or otherwise.

4. Repayment. All amounts due under this Note may be repaid or prepaid by the Company in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium, at the option of the Company. However, the Company will give the Investor five days’ prior written notice of any such payment and, at the time of payment, the Company will pay all accrued but unpaid interest on the portion of the principal balance repaid.
5. Conversion.
(a) Mandatory Conversion. Upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a Qualified Financing and (ii) the Maturity Date, all of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on such date will be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion Price then in effect.
(b) No Fractional Shares. The number of shares and/or units of Company securities issuable pursuant to this Section 5 will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
(c) The “Conversion Price” will initially equal $3.50, but may be adjusted prior to conversion as follows:
(i) If the Company subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.
(ii) If the Company combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
(iii) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock or units consisting of shares of Common Stock for all cash consideration or upon the conversion of indebtedness for less than $3.50 per share of Common Stock (excluding any Qualified Financing that results in conversion of the Note), then the Conversion Price will be reduced to the per share price paid by investors in such issuance of Common Stock.
6. Actions on Conversion. At such time as this Note is converted into Company securities, the rights of the Investor under this Note will cease, and such person will be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the securities issuable upon conversion. As promptly as practicable but no later than the applicable conversion date the Company will issue a certificate (or electronic equivalent thereof) representing the securities issuable upon conversion.
