2.Interest; Repayment of the Note.
2.1 This Note shall accrue simple interest, from the date hereof until such principal is paid or converted as provided in Section 4, on any unpaid principal balance at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum; provided that, commencing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and so long as any Event of Default exists, interest on this Note shall accrue at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum; provided further that the interest rate shall not exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

4.Conversion. The entire unpaid and outstanding principal amount and any accrued interest thereon under this Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or, upon the occurrence of a Section 4.1 Transaction, defined below, into the same class and series of any equivalent substitute equity securities sold by the Company in such Section 4.1 Transaction, as applicable (such shares, the “Conversion Shares”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 4.
4.1Automatic Conversion. Upon (1) the consummation of an investment in the Company’s equity securities in an aggregate amount of no less than $250,000, through a single transaction or related series of transactions involving the same party or parties and/or affiliates thereof (the “Section 4.1 Transaction”), or (2) the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the entire unpaid and outstanding principal amount and any accrued interest thereon under this Note shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into the Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price, as defined below.
4.2Voluntary Conversion. Holder shall have the option to convert the entire unpaid and outstanding principal amount and any accrued interest thereon under this Note into the Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price if, as of the Maturity Date, no Section 4.1 Transaction has been consummated and no Liquidity Event has occurred.
4.3Conversion Price. For purposes of this Note, the “Conversion Price” shall be the lesser of:
4.3.1 that price per share that is eighty percent (80%) of the purchase price per share of the same class and series of equity securities sold by the Company in the Section 4.1 Transaction or Liquidity Event; or
4.3.2 an amount equal to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) divided by the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock immediately prior to the Section 4.1 Transaction or Liquidity Event on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, but excluding any shares reserved for issuance under any equity incentive plan, option plan or similar arrangement (and excluding any shares of capital stock issuable upon conversion of this Note), as adjusted for stock splits, corporate reorganizations, or recapitalizations, set forth in Section 4.5, below.
4.4Conversion Procedure.
4.4.1Notice of Conversion. Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note pursuant to Section 4.2, it shall surrender this Note at the office of the Company and shall give written notice, in the form of the Notice of Conversion attached hereto asExhibit A, to the Company of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 4.2, and shall state therein the name or names in which the Conversion Shares shall be issued. At its expense, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the applicable number of Conversion Shares in certificate form (bearing such legends as are required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Company).

4.6Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu thereof, the Company will pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price applied to effect such conversion by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence.

(c) failure on the part of the Company to observe or perform any of the terms or covenants contained in this Note and continuance of such failure for a period of sixty (60) days following receipt of notice from the Holders specifying such covenant and the nature of the Company's non-performance.
6.Remedies. If an Event of Default will occur and be continuing, then so long as the Event of Default will continue to exist the Holders may, by written notice to the Company, declare the unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with all interest accrued hereunder, to be forthwith due and payable immediately in cash, without further presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. All Notes for which the full amount hereunder shall have been paid in accordance herewith shall promptly be surrendered to or as directed by the Company. The Holder may enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a Note holder until such time, if any, as the full payment under this Section 6 shall have been received by it. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holder may exercise any other right, power, or remedy granted to it by the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Agreement) or otherwise permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.
