WHEREAS, the parties wish to provide for the sale and issuance of Notes in
return for the provision by Lender of the Consideration to the Company.
Definitions.
(e) “Initial Public Offering” shall mean the closing of the issuance and
sale of shares of Equity Securities of the Company in the Company’s first underwritten public
offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”).
(g) “Next Equity Financing” shall mean the next sale (or series of
related sales) by the Company of its Equity Securities following the date of this Agreement from
which the Company receives gross proceeds of not less than $1,000,000 (excluding the aggregate
amount of debt securities converted into Equity Securities upon conversion of the Notes pursuant
to Section 2.3 below);
1.2 Initial Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Lender
shall loan an amount not less than $100,0000.00 to the Company.
(a) Next Equity Financing. The principal and unpaid accrued interest
of each Note will be automatically converted into Conversion Shares upon the closing of the
Next Equity Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, accrued interest on this Note may be
paid in cash at the option of the Company. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon
such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal and
unpaid accrued interest on a Note to be converted on the date of conversion by the Conversion
Price.. At least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Next Equity Financing, the Company
shall notify the holder of each Note in writing of the terms under which the Equity Securities of
the Company will be sold in such financing. The issuance of Conversion Shares pursuant to the
conversion of each Note shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to
the Equity Securities sold in the Next Equity Financing.
Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase of the Note pursuant to
Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.2 shall take place at the offices of <Paybl’s Law firm>San
Francisco, California, at 10:00 a.m., on the date of execution of this Agreement, or at such other
time and place as the Company and Lender agree upon orally or in writing. At the Closing,
Lender shall deliver the Consideration payable to the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and
the Company shall deliver to Lender an executed Note in return for such Consideration provided
to the Company.
1.10 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Lender acknowledges that this
Agreement is made with Lender in reliance upon such Lender’s representation to the Company
that the Notes, the Conversion Shares, and any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for Lender’s
own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any
part thereof, and that Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Lender further represents that it
does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the
Securities.
(b) (i) Lender has notified the Company of the proposed disposition
and has furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the
proposed disposition and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, Lender shall have
furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that
such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that the
Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except
in extraordinary circumstances.
1.16 Legends. It is understood that the Securities may bear the following
legend:
(a) The Company shall default in the payment of any part of the
principal or unpaid accrued interest on the Note after the Maturity Date or at a date fixed by
acceleration or otherwise;
(c) Within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any proceeding
against the Company seeking any bankruptcy reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or
regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or within thirty (30) days after the
appointment without the consent or acquiescence of the Company of any trustee, receiver or
liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company, such
appointment shall not have been vacated;
(d) The Company shall fail to observe or perform any other obligation
to be observed or performed by it under this Agreement, the Notes or the Security Agreement
within 30 days after written notice from Lender to perform or observe the obligation.
1.18 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1
above, at the option and upon the declaration of the holder of a Note, the entire unpaid principal
and accrued and unpaid interest on such Note shall, without presentment, demand, protest, or
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, be forthwith due and payable, and
such holder may, immediately and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce payment of
all amounts due and owing under such Note and exercise any and all other remedies granted to it
at law, in equity or otherwise.
Miscellaneous.
1.19 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective
successors and assigns of the parties, provided, however, that the Company may not assign its
obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of Lender. Nothing in this

dishonor.
Conversion of Note. This Note and any amounts due hereunder shall be

certificate or certificates for the number of full Conversion Shares issuable upon such
conversion.
Successors and Assigns. This Note applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds
the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Company may not

incurred by the holder of this Note (“Costs”) in endeavoring to collect any amounts payable
hereunder which are not paid when due, whether by declaration or otherwise. The Company
agrees that any delay on the part of the holder in exercising any rights hereunder will not operate

shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party or parties waiving such rights or
remedies.
