8.          Conversion.

 

(a)          Automatic Conversion for Private Financing. In the event the Company consummates, prior to the Initial Maturity Date an equity financing pursuant to which it sells shares of a series of Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) with an aggregate sales price of not less than $10,000,000, excluding any and all notes which are converted into preferred stock (including this Note), and with the principal purpose of raising capital (a “Qualified Equity Financing”), then the outstanding principal amount of and all accrued interest under this Note shall automatically convert into shares of the Preferred Stock on the same terms as the other investors that purchase the Preferred Stock in the Qualified Equity Financing but at a 20% discount on the price per share of the Preferred Stock in the Qualified Equity Financing. Upon such conversion of this Note, the Investor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents related to the Qualified Equity Financing, including a purchase agreement and other ancillary agreements, with customary representations and warranties and transfer restrictions (including a 180-day lock-up agreement in connection with an initial public offering), and having the same terms as those agreements entered into by the other purchasers of the Preferred Stock. The Investor also agrees to deliver the original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) at the closing of the Qualified Equity Financing for cancellation; provided, however, that upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 6(a), this Note shall be deemed converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this sentence

On or following the IPO Closing Date, the Investor shall have the right to convert some or all of the outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest hereunder into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the initial public offering price in the IPO (the “Discounted Conversion Price”). To exercise such conversion right, the Investor shall deliver notice of the conversion to Company and the amount to be converted, the proposed date of conversion (such notice, the “Conversion Notice”) along with the original Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note), provided that in the event the Investor elects to convert the Note on the IPO Closing Date, the Investor shall provide the Company with sufficient advance notice of such intent to convert as soon as practicable in order to allow the Company to complete any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO.

 

(b)          Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the conversion price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence.
