Note Series: ___________________________

Date of Note: ___________________________

Principal Amount of Note: ___________________________

For value received XYZ Inc., a [Delaware/other] corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the undersigned holder (“Holder”) the principal amount set forth above with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, each due and payable in the manner set forth below upon request of the Majority Holders* on or after the second anniversary of the issuance of the first Note of the Note Series set forth above (the “Maturity Date”).

1. Basic Terms.

   a. Series of Notes. This convertible promissory note (the “Note”) is issued as part of a series of notes designated by the Note Series above (collectively, the “Notes”) and issued in a series of multiple closings to certain persons and entities (collectively, the “Holders”).

   b. Payments. All payments of interest and principal shall be in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be made pro rata among all Holders. All payments shall be applied first to accrued interest and thereafter to principal.

   c. Interest Rate. The Company promises to pay simple interest on the outstanding principal amount hereof from the date funds are received by the Company until payment in full, which interest shall be payable at the rate of ___%* per annum or the maximum rate permissible by law, whichever is less. Interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date and shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed.

   No Prepayment. The Company may not prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date without the consent of the Majority Holders (as defined below).

2. Conversion; Repayment Upon Sale of the Company.

   a. Conversion upon a Qualified Financing. In the event that the Company issues and sells shares of its Equity Securities (defined below) to investors (the “Investors”) on or before the date of the repayment in full of this Note in an arms-length equity financing resulting in gross proceeds to the Company, in one or more closings, of at least $250,000 (excluding the conversion of the Notes and any other debt) (a “Qualified Financing”), then the outstanding principal balance of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into such Equity Securities sold in the Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) ____%* of the price paid per share for Equity Securities by the Investors in the Qualified Financing or (ii) the price equal to the quotient of the valuation cap of $______* (the “Valuation Cap”) divided by the aggregate number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of immediately prior to the initial closing of the Qualified Financing (assuming full conversion or exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding, but excluding the shares of equity securities of the Company issuable upon the conversion of the Notes or any other debt). The issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to the conversion of this Note shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Equity Securities sold in such Qualified Financing, except as otherwise set forth herein (e.g., the conversion price); provided, however, that such documents have customary exceptions to any drag-along applicable to the Holder, including, without limitation, limited representations and warranties and limited liability and indemnification obligations on the part of the Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, the initial closing of the Qualified Financing is the first closing in which the Company accepts which funds which meet or exceed the Qualified Financing threshold.

   b. Maturity Date Conversion. In the event that a Qualified Financing is not consummated prior to the Maturity Date, then, at the written election of the Majority Holders made at least five days prior to the Maturity Date, effective upon the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest under this Note shall be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the quotient of the Valuation Cap divided by the aggregate number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of the Maturity Date (assuming full conversion or exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding, but excluding the shares of equity securities of the Company issuable upon the conversion of the Notes or any other debt).

   c. Sale of the Company. Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, if the Company consummates a Sale of the Company (as defined below) prior to the conversion or repayment in full of this Note, then (i) the Company will give the Holder at least five days prior written notice of the anticipated closing date of such Sale of the Company and (ii) at the closing of such Sale of the Company, in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under this Note, the Company will pay the Holder an aggregate amount equal to the greater of (x) the aggregate amount of principal and unpaid accrued interest then outstanding under this Note or (y) the amount the Holder would have been entitled to receive in connection with such Sale of the Company if the aggregate amount of principal and unpaid accrued interest then outstanding under this Note had been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the quotient of the Valuation Cap divided by the aggregate number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of immediately prior to the closing of such Sale of the Company (assuming full conversion or exercise of all convertible and in-the-money exercisable securities then outstanding, but excluding the shares of equity securities of the Company issuable upon the conversion of the Notes or other debt being converted or deemed to be converted in connection with such Sale of the Company).

   d. Procedure for Conversion. In connection with any conversion of this Note into capital stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and deliver to the Company any documentation reasonably required by the Company (including, in the case of a Qualified Financing, all financing documents executed by other investors in connection with such Qualified Financing). The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the capital stock into which this Note may convert until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company and delivered to the Company any such documentation. Upon the conversion of this Note into capital stock pursuant to the terms hereof, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the Holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the price at which this Note converts; provided, however, if such amount is less than $100.00, no such payment shall be required, and no fractional shares shall be issued. To secure the Holder’s obligations to execute and deliver the documentation required by this Note, the Holder hereby appoints the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as the Holder’s true and lawful attorney, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, to execute and deliver all such documentation required by this Note if, and only if, the Holder fails execute or deliver such documentation as required by this Note. The power granted by the Holder pursuant to this paragraph is coupled with an interest and is given to secure the performance of the Holder’s duties under this Note, is irrevocable and will survive the death, incompetency, disability, merger or reorganization of the Holder.

   e. Interest Accrual. If a Sale of the Company or Qualified Financing is consummated, all interest on this Note shall be deemed to have stopped accruing as of the signing of the definitive agreement for the Sale of the Company or Qualified Financing or an earlier date, determined by the Company, which may be as many as ten days prior to the signing of such definitive agreement.

   f. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Note:

   i. “Equity Securities” shall mean the Company’s preferred stock issued in the Company’s next fixed-price financing, except that such defined term shall not include any security granted, issued and/or sold by the Company to any employee, director or consultant in such capacity. The Equity Securities may be sold in one more closings.

   ii. “Majority Holders” shall mean the Holders holding Notes that represent a majority of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of all Notes.

   iii. “Sale of the Company” shall mean (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, continue to hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity in substantially the same proportions (or, if the surviving entity is a wholly owned subsidiary, its parent) immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization; (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of 50% of the Company’s voting power is transferred; or (iii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the Company’s material intellectual property; provided, however, that a Sale of the Company shall not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor, indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted, or a combination thereof.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Note will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company has obtained all waivers reasonably necessary with respect to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights, including any notice or offering periods provided for as part of any such rights, in order for the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder without any third party obtaining any rights to cause the Company to offer or issue any securities of the Company as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.
