Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 14, 2016, MoSys, Inc. (the Company), entered into a 10% Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with the purchaser of $8,000,000 principal amount of 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due August 15, 2018 (the Notes), at par, in a private placement transaction effected pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Offering). The conversion price of the Notes is $0.90 per share and is subject to adjustment upon certain events as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to a security agreement entered into by the Company, the Notes are secured by a security interest in all of the assets of the Company.
The Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 10%. Accrued interest is payable semi-annually in cash or in kind through the issuance of identical new Notes, or with a combination of the two, at the Companys option. The Notes are noncallable and nonredeemable by the Company. The Notes are redeemable at the election of the holders if the Company experiences a fundamental change (as defined in the Notes), which generally would occur in the event (i) any person acquires beneficial ownership of shares of common stock of the Company entitling such person to exercise at least 40% of the total voting power of all of the shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in elections of directors, (ii) an acquisition of the Company by another person through a merger or consolidation, or the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the Companys assets, or (iii) the Companys current directors cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Company within a 12-month period, disregarding for this purpose any director who voluntarily resigns as a director or dies while serving as a director. The redemption price is 120% of the principal amount of the Note to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date.
The conversion price of $0.90 per share of common stock shall be reset, if, prior to the maturity date, the Company sells new shares of capital stock, or other securities convertible into or exercisable for capital stock, in a financing with one or more accredited investors that yields proceeds to the Company (net of transaction fees, expenses and discounts and commission) of at least $1,000,000 at a price lower than the then applicable conversion price in effect immediately before the closing of such financing; provided that in no event shall the applicable conversion price be reset to less than $0.85 per share of common stock. The Notes also will be subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, and the like. As of the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes could be converted into a maximum of 9,411,765 shares of common stock, excluding the effects of payments of interest in kind.
No Note holder shall be entitled to convert such holders Notes if effective upon the applicable conversion date (i) the holder would have beneficial ownership of more than 9.9% of the voting capital stock of the Company as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (with exceptions specified in the Purchase Agreement), or (ii) if the shares are being acquired or held with a purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the Company, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect, as determined in the sole discretion of the board of directors of the Company.
There is no required sinking fund for the Notes. The Notes have not been registered for resale, and the holder(s) do not have registration rights.
The Notes restrict the ability of the Company to incur any indebtedness for borrowed money, unless such indebtedness by its terms is expressly subordinated to the Notes in right of payment and to the security interest of the Note holder(s) in respect to the priority and enforcement of any security interest in property of the Company securing such new debt; provided that the Note holder(s) security interest and cash payment rights under the Notes shall be subordinate to a maximum of $5,000,000 of indebtedness for a secured accounts receivable line of credit facility provided to the Company by a bank or institutional lender; and, provided further, that in no event may the amount of indebtedness to which the security interest of the Note holder(s) is subordinated exceed the outstanding balance of accounts receivable less than 90 days old for which the Company has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts pledged under such credit facility.
The Loan Documents define an event of default generally as any failure by the Company to pay an amount owed under the Notes when due (subject to cure periods), a default with respect to other indebtedness of the Company resulting in acceleration of such indebtedness, the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or the cessation of business. If an event of default occurs under the Notes, the holder(s) of a majority-in- interest of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes may declare the outstanding principal amount thereof to be immediately due and payable and pursue all available remedies, including taking possession of the assets of the Company and selling them to pay the amount of debt then due, plus expenses, in accordance with applicable laws and procedures.
The foregoing summary of the terms of the Offering, the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the security agreement (the Loan Documents) should be read in conjunction with the forms of such agreements filed as exhibits to this report on Form 8-K under Item 9.01, which contain all of the terms of the Loan Documents.

(a) Subject to the further provisions of this Section 4 and Paragraph 7 of the Notes, a Holder of a Note may convert the principal amount of such Note (or any portion thereof equal to $100,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof) together with all accrued and unpaid interest into Shares at any time prior to the close of business on the last Business Date prior to the Final Maturity Date, at the Conversion Rate; provided , however , that, if such Note is submitted or presented for purchase pursuant to Section 3.1, such conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, for such Note or such earlier date as the Holder presents such Note for purchase (unless the Company shall default in making the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payment when due, as the case may be, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is cured and such Note is redeemed or purchased, as the case may be).
(b) Provisions of this Agreement that apply to conversion of all of a Note also apply to conversion of a portion of a Note.
(c) A Holder of Notes is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Notes to Shares, and only to the extent such Notes are deemed to have been converted into Shares pursuant to this Section 4.
(d) A Holder of Notes is not entitled to exercise the conversion right under Section 4.1(a) if the conversion would result in a violation of Section 8.2 by the Holder.
4.2 Conversion Procedure .
(a) To convert a Note, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice included in the Note and deliver such notice to the Company, (2) surrender the Note to the Company, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Companys transfer agent or the Company, and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all of these requirements is the Conversion Date .
(b) A Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Repurchase Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 3.1 may be converted pursuant to Section 4.1 only if such notice is withdrawn by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Company prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in accordance with Section 3.1.
(c) The Company shall deliver any Shares and cash in lieu of any fractional shares deliverable upon conversion to the respective Holders for their accounts no later than the third Business Day on or after the Conversion Date.
(d) The person in whose name the certificate for the Shares is registered shall be deemed to be a stockholder of record on the Conversion Date; provided , however , that no surrender of a Note on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided, further, that such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate based on the Applicable Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of a Note, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Note. No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Note.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, the Companys delivery to the Holder of the full number of Shares into which the Note is convertible, together with any cash payment for such Holders fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.3, shall be deemed to satisfy the Companys obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, attributable to the period from the most recent interest payment date to the conversion date. As a result, accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the Conversion Date is deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.
(f) Upon surrender of a Note that is converted in part, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Note surrendered.
4.3 Fractional Shares . The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes pursuant to Section 4.1. In lieu thereof, the Company will pay an amount in cash for the current market value of the fractional shares. The current market value of a fractional share shall be determined, (calculated to the nearest 1/100 th of a share) by multiplying the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date by such fractional share and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.
4.4 Taxes on Conversion . If the Holder converts a Note, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion. The Company may refuse to deliver the certificate representing the Shares being issued in a name other than the Holders name until the Company receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holders name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.
4.5 Company to Provide Stock .
(a) The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Notes hereunder and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of Shares to permit the conversion of all outstanding Notes into Shares.
(b) All Shares delivered upon conversion of the Notes shall be newly issued shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.
(c) The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes, if any, and will list or cause to have quoted such shares of Common Stock on each national securities exchange or other available securities exchange, or over-the-counter market or such other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted; provided , however, that if rules of such automated quotation system or exchange permit the Company to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the first conversion of the Notes into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the requirements of such automated quotation system or exchange at such time.
In no event will the Company take any action that would require adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Price, nor will the Company adjust the Applicable Conversion Price, if such Applicable Conversion Price adjustment would require the Company to, issue, upon conversion of the Notes, a number of shares of Common Stock that would require the Company to obtain prior stockholder approval under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, and, if applicable, the rules of any other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded, without obtaining such prior stockholder approval.
4.6 Anti-Dilution Adjustments .
(a) The Applicable Conversion Price shall be reset if prior to the Maturity Date the Company sells new shares of Capital Stock, or other securities convertible into or exercisable for Capital Stock, in a financing with one or more accredited investors that yields proceeds to the Company (net of transaction fees, expenses and discounts and commission) of at least $1,000,000 at a price lower than the Applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately before the closing of such financing; provided that in no event shall the Applicable Conversion Price be reset to an amount lower than the greater of (x) book value and (y) market value (within the meanings ascribed thereto under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)(1)) as of the Effective Date.
(b) The Applicable Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) In the event the Company pays a dividend or makes a distribution on the Common Stock, payable exclusively in shares of Common Stock, the Applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately before the close of business on the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive that dividend or distribution shall be decreased by multiplying:
(x) the Applicable Conversion Price, by
(y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the close of business on such record date, and (B) the denominator of
which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the close of business on such record date and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution.
(2) In the event the Company:
(A) subdivides or splits the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Applicable Conversion Price shall be proportionally decreased immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or split;
(B) combines or reclassifies the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Applicable Conversion Price shall be proportionally increased immediately after the effective date of such combination or reclassification; or
(C) issues by reclassification of the shares of Common Stock any shares of the Capital Stock of the Company, the Applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately after the effective date of such reclassification shall be proportionally applied to the class or classes of shares of Capital Stock of the Company into which the Common Stock was reclassified.
(3) In the event the Company distributes shares or other equity interests of any subsidiary or other entity now or hereafter owned by the Company to the stockholders of the Company pro rata, as a matter of right, without the payment or exchange of consideration by the stockholders, in addition to the Shares issuable upon conversion by the Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 4.1 the Holder also shall receive the number of shares or other equity interests of such subsidiary or other entity which the Holder would have been entitled to receive if the Holder had owned the Common Stock issuable under the Notes, which the Holder has elected to convert, immediately prior to the date of such distribution by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement and the Note, the term Shares shall be deemed to include the additional equity interests provided under this subsection 4.6(b)(3) where necessary to give effect to this provision.
(c) In addition to the adjustments set forth in Section 4.6(a) and (b), the Company may increase the Applicable Conversion Rate as the Board of Directors considers advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of Capital Stock (or rights to acquire Capital Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
4.7 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate . Whenever the Applicable Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof:
(a) the Company shall compute the adjusted Applicable Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 4.6(a) or Section 4.6(b) and shall prepare an officers certificate setting forth (1) the adjusted Applicable Conversion Price, (2) the provision of Section 4.6 pursuant to
which such adjustment has been made, showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, (3) the calculation of such adjustment and (4) the date as of which such adjustment is effective, and such certificate shall promptly be delivered to the Purchasers Agent (which certificates shall be conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such adjustment absent manifest error); and
(b) as soon as practicable after each such adjustment; the Company shall deliver to the Holders a notice stating that the Applicable Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Applicable Conversion Price.

If the Purchaser is an entity, the Purchasers acquisition of the Notes and the Shares is lawful under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and the jurisdiction in which it operates (if different), and such acquisition will not contravene any law, regulation or regulatory policy applicable to it. The Purchaser has not relied on the Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Purchasers determination as to the legality of its acquisition of the Notes and the Shares.
6.3 Investment Legend. The Purchaser is acquiring the Notes for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection
with, any distribution thereof. The Purchaser understands that the Notes to be purchased and/or acquired have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Purchasers representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Notes and any certificates representing the Shares will bear a legend substantially in the form set forth below:
THIS NOTE AND SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS NOTE AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE AND SUCH SHARES AND UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.
6.4 No Public Market . The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for any of the Notes issued by the Company, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Notes.
6.5 Authorization . This Agreement when executed and delivered by the Purchaser will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
6.6 Brokers or Finders . The Purchaser has not incurred, and will not incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Purchaser, any liability for brokerage or finders fees or agents commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby.
6.7 Tax Liability . The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser (and not the Company or any of its Affiliates) shall be responsible for the Purchasers own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this.
7. COVENANTS
7.1 Payment of Notes . The Company shall promptly make all payments in respect of the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and this Agreement.

The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay interest on overdue principal (including premium, if any) and overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes per annum.

It is agreed that the filing of such reports via the SECs EDGAR system shall constitute distribution of such reports to the Purchasers for purposes of this Section 7.2.
7.3 Further Instruments and Acts . Upon request of the Purchasers Agent, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement.
8. NEGATIVE COVENANTS
8.1 Additional Debt . The Company shall not without the prior written consent of the Purchasers Agent or the Holders of a Majority-in-Interest of the Notes incur any Indebtedness for borrowed money subsequent to the Purchase Agreement Closing Date, unless such Indebtedness by its terms is expressly subordinated to the Notes in right of payment and to the Purchasers Security Interest in respect to the priority and enforcement of any security interest in property of the Company securing such new debt; provided that the Purchasers Security Interest and cash payment rights under the Notes shall be subordinate to $5,000,000 of Indebtedness for a secured accounts receivable line of credit facility provided to the Company by a bank or institutional lender (including nonbank lenders) (Senior Lender) at any time prior to the Maturity Date; and provided further that in no event may the amount of Indebtedness to which the Purchasers Security Interest is subordinated exceed the outstanding balance of accounts receivable less than 90 days old for which the Company has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts under GAAP that have been pledged by the Company from time to time under such Senior Lender credit facility. Subject to the foregoing, such subordination shall be without conditions. Purchasers Agent agrees to sign and hereby is authorized by the undersigned Purchaser(s) to sign a subordination agreement and related, consistent, documents, certificates and instruments requested by the lender in connection with such facility.
8.2 Common Stock Ownership Limitation . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement that might otherwise be deemed to the contrary, no Holder or Holders shall be entitled to convert such Holders Notes pursuant to Section 4.1 if effective upon the applicable Conversion Date (i) the Holder would have beneficial ownership of more than 9.9% of the voting Capital Stock of the Company as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, provided that for purposes of this paragraph shares of Common Stock as to which the Holder has shared dispositive power and only non-discretionary voting power (as defined in SEC Rule 13d-3(d)(2)), with no direct pecuniary interest or indirect pecuniary interest (as defined under SEC Rule 16a-1(a)) therein, shall be excluded from the calculation of such beneficial ownership; or (ii) if the Shares are being acquired or held with a purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the Company, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect, as determined in the sole discretion of the board of directors of the Company.
9. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
9.1 Events of a Default . An Event of Default shall occur if:
(1) the Company defaults in the payment of any interest on any Note (which is not being paid in kind pursuant to Section 2.8) when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of five days;
(2) the Company defaults in the payment of any principal of (including, without limitation, premium, if any, on) any Note when the same becomes due and payable (whether at maturity, upon redemption, on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or otherwise);
(3) the Company defaults in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Note when the same becomes due and payable;
(4) any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary with an aggregate principal amount then outstanding in excess of $1,000,000, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, is not paid at final maturity (either at the Maturity Date or upon acceleration thereof), and such Indebtedness is not discharged, or such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, within a period of 30 days after there shall have been given to the Company by the Holders of a Majority-in-Interest of the Notes a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such Indebtedness to be discharged or cause such default to be cured or waived or such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a Notice of Default hereunder; or
(5) the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding;
(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;
(C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or
(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
(6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(A) is for relief against the Company or any Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding;
(B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company (on a consolidated basis); or
(C) orders the liquidation of the Company; and in each case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days;
(7) the Companys termination or suspension of its business, or the filing by or against the Company of a petition seeking the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the commencement of any other procedure to liquidate or dissolve the Company, or the occurrence of any event, condition or circumstances which causes the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, which is not dismissed within 60 days of the date of filing or petition.
The term Bankruptcy Law means Title 11 of the United States Code (or any successor thereto) or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term Custodian means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
9.2 Acceleration . If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 9.1) occurs and is continuing, the Purchasers Agent may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least a Majority-in-Interest of the Notes then outstanding may, by notice to the Company, declare all unpaid principal to the date of acceleration on the Notes then outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be due and payable upon any such declaration, and the same shall become and be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 9.1 occurs, all unpaid principal of the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Purchasers Agent or any Holder. The Holders of a Majority-in-Interest of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if (a) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; (b) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest (calculated at the rate per annum borne by the Notes) on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and (c) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.
9.3 Other Remedies . If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least a Majority-in-Interest of the Notes may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Agreement. A delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
9.4 Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default . Subject to Section 9.6, the Holders of a Majority-in-Interest of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company may waive an existing default or Event of Default and its consequence, except a default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, a failure by the Company to convert any Notes into Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Agreement or any default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes which, under Section 9.6, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each Note affected. When a default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases.
9.5 Limitations on Suits . A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Agreement or the Notes (except actions for payment of overdue principal or interest or for the conversion of the Notes pursuant to Section 4) unless:
(1) the Holder gives to the Company written notice of a continuing Event of Default; and
(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Purchasers Agent to pursue the remedy.
A Holder may not use this Agreement to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder.
9.6 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert . Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement other than Section 9.2 and Section 9.4, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note and this Agreement, to convert such Note in accordance with Section 4 and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

1. INTEREST
MoSys, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company, which term shall include any successor corporation under the Purchase Agreement hereinafter referred to), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on August 15 and February 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2016. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Purchase Agreement Closing Date; provided , however , that if there is not an existing default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred, to on the face hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date, interest shall accrue from such interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and 30-day months.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT
The Company shall pay interest on this Note (except defaulted interest) to the person who is the Holder of this Note at the close of business on the related interest payment date. The Holder must surrender this Note to the Company to collect payment of principal. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. If there is no pending Event of Default under the Loan Documents as of the interest payment date for which interest will be paid the Company may, however, upon 15 days prior written notice to the Holder or Purchasers Agent, pay interest due by issuing a new Note in the principal amount of the interest due, and in all other respects having terms identical to this Note, and may convert accrued and unpaid interest as of the Conversion Date into Shares in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Purchase Agreement. The Company will pay principal due upon surrender of Notes by check sent to the Holders address on the books and records of the Company, or, if the Holder has provided wire transfer instructions to the Company at least five Business Days prior to the payment date, in immediately available funds by wire transfer.
3. PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes Due August 15, 2018 (the Notes) issued under the Purchase Agreement. The terms of this Note include those stated in the Purchase Agreement. The Notes are secured obligations of the Company and are convertible upon the conditions stated in the Purchase Agreement and the Note.
4. SECURITY INTEREST; ADDITIONAL SECURED CREDITORS
This Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Security Agreement dated as of the Purchase Agreement Closing Date among the Company, Purchasers Agent, and the Purchasers. In case of an Event of Default, the Purchasers shall have the rights set forth in the Security Agreement; provided that such rights shall be subject to such senior or contemporaneous rights of the Senior Lender as
may be agreed by Purchasers Agent and the Company with the Senior Lender as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.
5. DEFAULT
If an Event of Default shall occur, the aggregate unpaid principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall become or may be declared to be due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Loan Documents.
6. REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDER UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE
A. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder will, upon receipt of the notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, have the right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of such Holders Notes for cash in an amount equal to 120% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after an interest payment record date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, in which case the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will include the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest payable on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding interest payment record date. Subject to Section 3.1 of the Purchase Agreement, on or before the 10 th Business Day prior to the effective date of a Fundamental Change, or as soon as practicable after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change described in Section 1.11(c) of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will provide to the Holder and Purchasers Agent a notice of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the resulting repurchase right. To exercise the repurchase right, the Holder must deliver a Repurchase Exercise Notice duly completed to the Company as described in the Purchase Agreement.
B. Holder has the right to withdraw any Fundamental Change repurchase notice, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
C. All interest shall cease to accrue on this Note (or portions thereof) immediately after such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and the Holder shall have no other rights as such other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon surrender of the Note.
7. OPTIONAL CONVERSION
A. The Holder, at the Holders sole option, may convert the principal amount of this Note (or any portion thereof equal to $100,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof) into Shares, and/or such other consideration as provided in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement, at any time prior to the close of business on the last Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, at the Applicable Conversion Price (which is the Initial Conversion Price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) in effect on the
Conversion Date; provided, however, that, if such Note is submitted or presented for purchase pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Purchase Agreement, such conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Note, or such earlier date as the Holder presents such Note for repurchase (unless the Company shall default in making the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payment when due, as the case may be, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is cured and such Note is redeemed or purchased, as the case may be). The Initial Conversion Price is $0.90 per Share, and the initial Conversion Rate is one Share per $0.90 principal amount of Note. The Initial Conversion Price and the Conversion Rate are subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Agreement. All accrued and unpaid interest on the Note through the Business Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date shall be paid in accordance with Paragraph 2, provided that if the Company elected to pay the interest with the issuance of a new Note thereof, the full amount thereof shall be converted into additional Shares as Note principal. Upon surrender of this Note for conversion and timely delivery to the Company of the Holders conversion notice (which may be submitted on Holders behalf by Purchasers Agent), the Company will issue, or will cause its transfer agent to issue, the Shares to the Holder on the requested Conversion Date. No fractional Shares will be issued upon conversion; in lieu thereof, an amount will be paid in cash based upon the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date. The Shares when issued may be represented by book entry, or by certificates if so requested by Holder.

C. If Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice exercising the option of the Holder to require the Company to repurchase this Note, then this Note may be converted pursuant to Paragraph 7A only if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice is withdrawn by the Holder in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
8. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE
