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”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein having the meaning set forth in the Agreement. By acceptance of this Note, Investor expressly agrees, for the benefit of the present and future holders of such indebtedness, to be bound by the provisions of this Note and the Agreement.

 

2.        Payment Terms; Maturity. Simple interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will accrue at the rate of 10.0% per annum. 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”). The Maturity Date of this Note and all Series Notes (defined below) may be extended by a writing signed by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Series Notes. 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. All payments will be applied first to interest and thereafter to principal. All payments will be made to the Investor at the address set forth in the Agreement or at such other address as is provided in writing to the Company.

 

3.        Ranking. This Note represents an unsecured obligation of the Company. It is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of any Senior Indebtedness (defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note ranks equally with all other Notes with respect to right of payment and priority. “Senior Indebtedness” means, unless expressly subordinated to or made on a parity with the amounts due under the Series Notes, all amounts due in connection with (a) indebtedness of the Company to banks or other lending institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money (including venture capital, investment banking or similar institutions and their affiliates that sometimes engage in lending activities but are primarily engaged in investments in equity securities) and (b) any indebtedness or any issued in exchange for such Senior Indebtedness by a guarantor.

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.

 

7.        Series Notes. This Note is one of a series of convertible promissory notes of like tenor issued by the Company between December 1, 2018 and January 31, 2019 (collectively, the “Series Notes”). When actions are specified herein as happening upon the decision of holders of a majority in principal amount of the Series Notes, such action shall be evidenced by a writing executed by such holders and delivered to all holders of Series Notes and shall be the act of and binding on all holders of Series Notes.

 

8.         Restriction on Transfer of the Note. Any sale or transfer of this Note must comply with the requirements contained in the Agreement.

(e)     if default is made in the due and punctual performance or observance of any other material term contained in this Agreement or the Series Notes, and such default has continued for a period of 30 days after the earlier of the Company’s knowledge thereof or written notice thereof to the Company by the holder of any Series Note.

 

10.      No Rights or Liabilities as Holder of Equity Interests. This Note does not of itself entitle the Investor to any voting rights or other rights as a holder of equity interests in the Company.
