Capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
1. Repayments and Prepayments.
(a) Subject to Sections 2(a) and 3(a) hereof, all principal, accrued interest and all other amounts owing under this Note shall be due and payable UPON DEMAND, at the sole option and discretion of the Lender, on or after April 17, 2016 (such demand date being the “Maturity Date”). The Company hereby acknowledges that such demand may be made hereunder (in whole or in part) by the Lender for any reason or for no reason, whether or not the Company is in compliance with this Note.
(b) The Company may not prepay this Note at any time, either in whole or in part, without the prior consent of the Lender, which consent may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the Lender.
(c) All payments received under this Note shall be applied first to costs, expenses and other amounts incurred in connection with the collection of this Note (other than principal and interest), then to accrued interest on the date of payment, and then to the outstanding principal balance of this Note.
(d) All payments of principal and interest shall be made to the holder of this Note not later than 1:00 p.m. (San Antonio, Texas time) on the date and at the place of payment designated by the holder hereof as aforesaid, and any payment received on such date but after such hour shall be deemed to have been paid to and received by the holder hereof on the next succeeding business day. If the date on which any payment is required to be made pursuant to this Note is not a business day, then such payment shall be due and payable on the next succeeding date which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest. All payments hereunder shall be made without reduction, and shall not be subject to any claim or offset of any kind or nature whatsoever.
2. Conversion. The outstanding principal amount owing under this Note shall be convertible into equity securities of the Company as follows:
(a) Optional Conversion. The Requisite Noteholders may, in their sole discretion, convert all principal and accrued interest under this Note into shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price per share. “Series D Preferred Stock” shall mean the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock financing with substantially the terms set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
(i) For the purposes of this Note: “Conversion Price” shall mean $0.25.
(ii) The Company covenants that it shall use its reasonable efforts to cause a sufficient number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock (and common stock issuable upon conversion thereof) to be authorized and reserved under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, prior to any such conversion of this Note; provided, however, that if a sufficient number of such shares is not authorized and reserved at the time of such election, the conversion shall be delayed until the proper number of shares is authorized and reserved, with the Company then obligated to use its best efforts to cause a sufficient number of shares to be authorized and reserved as soon as practicable.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. In connection with such conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 2(a), the Lender shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty, at the principal office of the Company.

(c) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Lender upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Lender an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying the conversion price applied to effect such conversion by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified in this Note, the Company shall be released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

(b) No remedy herein conferred upon the Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy hereunder, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.

5. Miscellaneous.
(a) No term of this Note may be amended, modified or waived without the written consent of the Company and the Requisite Noteholders.
(b) No failure or delay by the Lender to exercise any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other right, power or privilege. The provisions of this Note are severable and if any one provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such provision in such jurisdiction. This Note expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and every endorser and guarantor of this Note, regardless of the time, order or place of signing hereby, waives presentment, demand, protest, diligence of collection and notice of every kind, and assents to any extension or postponement of the time for payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral, and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.

received interest and other charges under this Note in excess of the highest permissible rate applicable hereto, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the outstanding principal amount hereunder and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest permissible rate. If there is no outstanding principal amount under this Note, the Lender shall refund such excess to the Company.
(h) The Company represents and warrants to the Lender that the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is with respect to an exempt transaction under the Truth-In-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.
(i) The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the proceeds received by the Company in return for the issuance of this Note shall be used for the general corporate needs of the Company.

CHARTER
Series D Original Purchase Price: | | $0.25 per share |
| | |
Dividends: | | The Series D Preferred will carry an annual 8% cumulative dividend compounded annually (accruing from issuance, whether or not declared), payable upon liquidation or redemption (but not upon conversion). No dividend shall be paid on the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock (“Series C-1 Preferred”) or Series C-2 Preferred Stock (“Series C-2 Preferred” and, collectively with the Series C-1 Preferred, the “Series C Preferred”) unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends have been paid on the Series D Preferred. For any other dividends or distributions, participation with Common Stock on an as-converted basis. |
| | |
Liquidation Preference: | | In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the proceeds shall be paid as follows: first, to the holders of Series D Preferred (until each such holder has received the greater of (i) two times the Series D Original Purchase Price, plus accrued dividends on each share of Series D Preferred, or (ii) the amount payable to such shares upon such event if all Series D Preferred had been converted into Common Stock); thereafter, on a pari passu basis, to the holders of Series C-2 Preferred (until each such holder has received the greater of (i) the Series C-2 Original Purchase Price, plus accrued dividends on each share of Series C-2 Preferred, or (ii) the amount payable to such shares upon such event if all Series C-2 Preferred had been converted into Common Stock), and Series C Convertible Preferred (until each such holder has received the greater of (i) two times the Series C-1 Preferred Original Purchase Price, plus accrued dividends on each share of Series C-1 Preferred, or (ii) the amount payable to such shares upon such event if all Series C-1 Preferred had been converted into Common Stock); thereafter, on a pari passu basis, to the holders of Series A Preferred (until each such holder has received $1.00 per share, plus accrued dividends on each share of Series A Preferred) and Series B Preferred (until each such holder has received the Series B Original Purchase Price, plus accrued dividends on each share of Series B |
| | Preferred); and thereafter, to the holders of Common Stock. A merger or consolidation (other than one in which stockholders of the Company own a majority by voting power of the outstanding shares of the surviving or acquiring corporation) and a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company will be treated as a liquidation event (a “Deemed Liquidation Event”), thereby triggering payment of the liquidation preferences described above unless the holders of at least 50% of the Series D Preferred elect otherwise. |
| | |
Voting Rights: | | The Series D Preferred shall vote together with the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred, and Common Stock on an as-converted basis, and not as a separate class, except (i) the Series D Preferred as a class shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of the Board (the “Series D Directors”), (ii) as provided under “Protective Provisions” below or (iii) as required by law.

| | |
Protection Provisions: | | So long as at least 50% of the initially issued shares of Series D Preferred are outstanding, the Company will not, without the written consent of the holders of at least 50% of the Company’s Series D Preferred (voting together as a single class on as-converted basis), either directly or by amendment, merger, consolidation, or otherwise: (i) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the affairs of the Company, or effect any Deemed Liquidation Event; (ii) amend, alter, or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; (iii) create or authorize the creation of or issue any other security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security, having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on parity with the Series D Preferred, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series D Preferred; (iv) purchase or redeem or pay any dividend on any capital stock prior to the redemption of the Series D Preferred, other than stock repurchased from former employees or consultants in connection with the cessation of their employment/services, at the lower of fair market value or cost; (v) create or authorize the creation of any debt security other than debt in an aggregate amount not exceeding $250,000 and with no equity |
| | feature; (vi) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance or grant under the stock option plan to more than 9,100,000 shares of Common Stock; or (vii) increase or decrease the size of the Board of Directors. |
| | |
Optional Conversion: | | The Series D Preferred initially converts 1:1 to Common Stock at any time at option of holder, subject to adjustments for cash dividends and for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events and as described below under “Anti-dilution Provisions.” Existing investors will waive any anti-dilution rights that may arise as a result of the issuance of Series D Preferred prior to the initial closing. |
| | |
Anti-dilution Provisions: | | In the event that the Company issues additional securities at a purchase price less than the current Series D Preferred conversion price, such conversion price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula: CP2 = CPI * (A+B) / (A+C) CP2 = New Series D Conversion Price CPI = Series D Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to new issue A = Number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to new issue (includes all shares of outstanding common stock, all shares of outstanding preferred stock on an as-converted basis, and all outstanding options on an as-exercised basis; and does not include any convertible securities converting into this round of financing) B = Aggregate consideration received by the Corporation with respect to the new issue divided by CP] C = Number of shares of stock issued in the subject transaction The following issuances shall not trigger anti-dilution adjustment: (i) securities issuable upon conversion of any of the Preferred, or as a dividend or distribution on the Preferred; (ii) securities issued upon the conversion of any debenture, warrant, option, or other convertible security; (iii) Common Stock issuable upon a stock split, stock dividend, or any subdivision of shares of Common Stock; (iv) up to 9,100,000 shares of Common Stock (or options to purchase such shares of Common Stock) issued or issuable to |
| | employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Company pursuant to any plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors including at least one (1) Series D Director; and (v) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to banks, equipment lessors pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including at least one (1) Series D Director. Neither the Series A Preferred Stock nor the Series B Preferred Stock have anti-dilution protection (other than in connection with stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events). |
| | |
Mandatory Conversion: | | Each share of Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into Common Stock at the then applicable conversion rate in the event of the closing of an underwritten public offering with a price of five (5) times the Series D Original Purchase Price (subject to adjustments for cash dividends and for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events) and proceeds to the Company of not less than $50,000,000 (a “QPO”), or (ii) upon the written consent of the holders of at least 50% of the Series D Preferred (voting together as a single class on as-converted basis). |
| | |
Redemption Rights: | | The Series D Preferred shall be redeemable from funds legally available for distribution at the option of holders of at least 50% of the Series D Preferred (voting together as a single class on as-converted basis) commencing any time after April 30, 2015 at a price equal to the liquidation preference amount. Redemption shall occur in one installment. Upon a redemption request from the holders of the required percentage of the Series D Preferred, all Series D Preferred shares shall be redeemed. The Series C Preferred will also reset its redemption date to coincide with the Series D Preferred redemption timing; Series D Preferred will have priority over the Series C Preferred with respect to any such redemption. |
