least $5 million, including conversion of any notes and any
other indebtedness, the Convertible Promissory Note shall
automatically convert all principal and interest accrued under
this note into Series A Preferred Stock at the lower of 70% of
the price per share paid by other purchasers or a maximum

$20 million.
