2. | Interest. |
(a) | The Company promises to pay interest on the Principal Amount (as hereinafter defined) of this Note at the Interest Rate (as defined herein). The Company shall pay accrued interest quarterly in arrears at the Interest Rate for such quarter on each January 15, April 15, July 15, October 15 of each calendar year during the term hereof and on the Maturity Date, or, if any such date shall not be a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day to occur after such date (each date upon which interest shall be so payable, an Interest Payment Date), commencing on April 15, 2017 and on each Interest Payment Date shall pay interest accrued from (but excluding) the immediately preceding date of payment of interest through and including such Interest Payment Date at the Interest Rate for such quarter; provided, however, that for so long as the Company is prohibited from paying interest on this Note in cash pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, the Loan Agreement and/or one or more senior financing arrangements to which it is subject (if any, the Senior Financing Arrangements), the Company shall pay all of the interest on this Note by capitalizing on the applicable Interest Payment Date all such interest (all such accrued interest capitalized from time to time is referred to herein as PIK Interest) and by adding such PIK Interest to the Principal Amount of the applicable Note; provided, further, however, that if this Note is converted into fully paid and non- assessable Conversion Shares, the accrued but unpaid interest will also be converted into fully paid and non-assessable Conversion Shares as provided in Section 4.

For purposes herein,
(i) | Principal Amount shall mean the outstanding principal amount of this Note at any time, which shall include any PIK Interest as provided herein; and |
(ii) | Interest Rate shall mean eight percent (8%) per annum. |

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, but subject to applicable law, upon and during the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), the Principal Amount of this Note shall bear interest, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or waived, payable on demand in immediately available funds, at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum. In addition, any overdue interest on this Note shall bear interest, payable on demand in immediately available funds, at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum. In the event that any interest rate provided for herein shall be determined to be unlawful, such interest rate shall be computed at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Any payment by the Company of any interest amount in excess of that permitted by law shall be considered a mistake, with the excess being applied to the principal of this Note without prepayment premium or penalty.
3. | Principal. |
The Company shall pay the Principal Amount due under this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Maturity Date; provided that if this Note is converted into fully paid and non- assessable Conversion Shares, the accrued but unpaid interest will also be converted into fully paid and non-assessable Conversion Shares as provided in Section 4.
4. | Optional Conversion. At any time and from time to time (a) upon and during the occurrence of an Event of Default, from the date of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or waived or (b) as of the Maturity Date, at the written election of Holder, any outstanding Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note (the Conversion Amount) shall be converted into shares of Common Stock at a per share conversion price equal to $6.30 (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar corporate event affecting the Common Stock) (all such shares into which the Note is converted into, the Conversion Shares). Upon any conversion election made in accordance with this Section 4, the Company shall authorize and approve, and make all filings necessary, to amend its certificate of incorporation as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to enable it to comply herewith. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall issue one whole share of Common Stock. |
5. | Voluntary Prepayment. |
(a) | Subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Notes are subject to prepayment at the option of the Company, in whole or in part. The Company shall give written notice of voluntary prepayment of this Note or any portion thereof to the Holder not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Such notice of voluntary prepayment shall be given in the manner specified in Section 7.4 of the Note Purchase Agreement. Upon notice of prepayment being given by the Company to the Holder, the Company covenants and agrees that the Company shall prepay, on the date fixed for prepayment in the notice therefor, this Note or the portion hereof so called for prepayment, at the Principal Amount thereof or the portion thereof so called for prepayment, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date fixed for such prepayment, together with costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Holder. Notwithstanding the above, at any time prior to such prepayment by the Company, the Holder may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note into Conversion Shares on the terms set forth in Section 4. |
4
(b) | All prepayments under this Section 5 shall include payment of accrued interest on the Principal Amount so prepaid and shall be applied first to payment of default interest, if any, then to payment of accrued interest, then to all costs, expenses and indemnities payable under the Note Purchase Agreement, if any, and thereafter to principal, provided, however, each voluntary prepayment of less than the full outstanding principal balance of the Note shall be in an aggregate Principal Amount of $10,000 or a whole multiple thereof. |
(c) | If more than one Note is outstanding, the amounts payable under this Section 5 upon an election by the Company to prepay shall be applied to the Notes pro rata based on the relative amounts outstanding under each of the Notes (subject to the right of the Holder or any holder of the other Notes to convert some or all of such Note(s) as provided in Section 5(a) above). |
6. | Mandatory Prepayment. |
(a) | The obligations of the Company set forth in this Section with respect to mandatory prepayments shall in all respects be subject to the terms of the Companys Senior Financing Arrangements, including without limitation, the Subordination Agreement. |
(b) | Upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, all Principal Amount and interest on this Note shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Holder. The Holder may, upon receiving notice of any Liquidity Event pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof, exercise its right to demand payment in full of this Note, by giving the Company notice of such election within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notice. The Company shall, within five (5) Business Days following the consummation of an IPO or Asset Disposition, apply the Net Proceeds thereof to the prepayment of the Principal Amount of this Note, to the extent that such Net Proceeds shall not have been required to be applied to senior debt, and, the Company shall, concurrently with such prepayment of Principal Amount of this Note, pay interest on the amount prepaid (as provided in Section 2(a)) as though the date of prepayment was an Interest Payment Date. The Company shall, at or prior to the consummation of a Change in Control, prepay the entire Principal Amount of this Note, and, the Company shall, concurrently with such prepayment of Principal Amount of this Note, pay interest on the amount prepaid (as provided in Section 2(a)) as though the date of prepayment was an Interest Payment Date. |
(c) | The Company shall give written notice to the Holder of any Liquidity Event at least ten (10) Business Days and not more than sixty (60) Business Days prior to the consummation of such event. Such notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 7.4 of the Note Purchase Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall be deemed a consent by the Holder or any affiliate or board representative thereof to the consummation of any Liquidity Event and the Company covenants and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provisions of any Transaction Document, it shall not consummate an Asset Disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Company without the consent in writing of all Holders of the Notes unless the Company pays the Notes in full at or prior to consummation thereof. In the event that the closing of an IPO is not consummated within sixty (60) days following the notice of prepayment given by the Company in connection with an IPO, the Company shall be under no obligation to make the payments as set forth above (but must once again comply with the notice provisions above in connection with any subsequent closing). In addition, in the event that such a notice of prepayment is delivered by the Company in connection with a Change of Control or Asset Disposition transaction and such |
5
transaction is not consummated within sixty (60) days of the notice of prepayment, the Company shall be under no obligation to make the payments as set forth above (but must once again comply with the notice provisions above in connection with any subsequent closing of such a transaction). |
(d) | All prepayments under this Section 6 shall include payment of accrued interest on the Principal Amount so prepaid and shall be applied first to payment of default interest, if any, then to payment of accrued interest, then to all costs, expenses and indemnities payable under the Note Purchase Agreement, if any, and thereafter to the Principal Amount. |
(e) | If more than one Note is outstanding, the Net Proceeds payable under this Section 6 shall be applied to the Notes pro rata, in accordance with the Principal Amount outstanding under each such Note. |
7. | Termination of Rights. |
All rights with respect to this Note shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of the date (a) this Note is repaid in full and (b) all outstanding Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest is converted into Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms hereunder (such earlier date, the Note Cancellation Date), whether or not this Note has been surrendered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder agrees to surrender this Note to the Company for cancellation as soon as is possible following conversion of this Note. Holder shall not be entitled to receive the Conversion Shares to be issued upon conversion of this Note until the original of this Note (or an executed affidavit of loss, damage or mutilation and agreement to indemnify the Company therefrom, in form reasonably requested by the Company) is surrendered (or delivered in the case of such affidavit and agreement) to the Company.

15. | Successors and Assigns; Assignment. |
All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company.
