1.1 Interest Rate. The rate of interest hereunder (“Interest Rate”) shall equal eight percent (8%) per annum, and shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year for the actual

number of days elapsed, provided that in no event shall the Interest Rate be less than the minimum rate of interest required in order to avoid the imputation of interest for federal income tax purposes.

1.2 Payment. Subject to the provisions of Section 2 regarding conversion of this Note, the Issue Price plus all accrued but previously unpaid interest thereon shall become due and payable on [Date] (“Maturity Date”). Payment shall be made at the offices of the Holder, or such other place as the Holder shall have designated to the Company in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America.

2. Conversion.

2.1 Automatic Conversion. In the event the Company completes, prior to the Maturity Date, a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering the offer and sale of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of not less than Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000), excluding the conversion of the Notes (a “Qualified IPO”), the Issue Price plus all accrued and previously unpaid interest thereon shall be automatically converted into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock as is equal to the Issue Price plus all accrued and previously unpaid interest thereon divided by the public price per share of the Common Stock sold in the Qualified IPO. Any fraction of a share will be rounded down to the next whole share of Common Stock.

The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite approvals to authorize sufficient Series B Preferred Stock in the event of any such conversion pursuant to this Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 below. Holder acknowledges that any such election by the Required Holders in accordance with this Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 below shall be binding upon Holder.

Holder
