all requisite corporate power to execute and deliver this Agreement, to issue each Note, (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and under the terms of each Note.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Notes, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby 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.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ |
For Value Received, Procera Networks, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), hereby
promises to pay to the order of __________________________________, an individual (“Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of ________________________________________ ($______________) (the “Loan”) together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, each due and payable on the dates and in the manner set forth below. This note (the “Note”) is issued as part of a series of similar notes to be issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of April __, 2009 (the “NPA”).
1. Principal Repayment. Unless sooner paid or converted in accordance with the terms hereof, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and all unpaid accrued interest shall be due and payable on April
30, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company shall have the right to prepay any and all amounts owed under this Note in whole or in part at any time without notice.
2. Interest Rate. Borrower further promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full, which interest shall be payable at the rate of ten
percent (10.0%) per annum or the maximum rate permissible by law (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans), whichever is less. Interest shall be due and payable quarterly within 10 working days of the end of each calendar quarter, and shall be calculated on the simple interest basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
3. Place of Payment. All amounts payable hereunder shall be payable at the office of Lender unless another place of payment shall be specified in writing by Lender.
4. Application of Payments. Payment on this Note shall be applied first to accrued interest, and thereafter to the outstanding principal balance hereof.
5. Conversion or Repayment Upon Maturity. In the event that any indebtedness under this Note remains outstanding on the Maturity Date, then all outstanding indebtedness
under this Note shall, at the option of Company, either (a) become immediately due and payable on such date, or (b) convert on such date into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $.40 or (ii) the average of the closing stock prices for the five business days immediately prior to the Maturity Date (provided, however, that the Company has a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to allow such conversion at such time, and that Investor
is an accredited investor at the time of such conversion as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).
6. Conversion Upon Financing.
6.1 Conversion into Financing Securities. In the event that the Company, at any time after the date of issuance of this Note and prior to the payment or conversion in full
of this Note, shall issue and sell shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Financing Securities”) to investors (the “Investors”) and/or issue notes issued pursuant to the NPA for aggregate proceeds to the Company (including the principal amount represented by this Note) of not less than $2,750,000 (a “Financing”), then provided that the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $1,000,000 from the sale of Financing Securities (not including the conversion of notes
issued pursuant to the NPA), then the outstanding principal amount and unpaid accrued interest of this Note shall be automatically converted, at the closing and on the same terms and conditions of the Financing, into shares of the Financing Securities at a per-share conversion price equal to the lower of $0.40 or the price at which the Financing Securities were sold to the Investors.
6.2 Ancillary Agreements. In connection with such automatic conversion, Lender agrees to execute and deliver to the Company any documents reasonably requested by the Company
to be executed by Lender, including without limitation, a stock purchase agreement, thereby agreeing to be bound by all obligations and receive all rights thereunder. If the Company is unable to obtain Lender’s signature on any such document within three (3) business days of delivery thereof to Lender, whether due to any cause, then by the acceptance of this Note Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as Lender’s
agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on its behalf and stead, to execute and deliver any such document with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by Lender.
7. Default. Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” hereunder:
(a) Borrower fails to pay timely any of the principal amount due under this Note on the date the same becomes due and payable or any accrued interest or other amounts due under this Note on the date the same becomes due and payable;
(b) Borrower files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes
any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or
(c) An involuntary petition is filed against Borrower (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days) under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar
official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of Borrower.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, all unpaid principal, accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder shall, at the option of Lender, and, in the case of an Event of Default pursuant to (b) or (c) above, automatically, be immediately due, payable and collectible by Lender pursuant to applicable law.
8. Waiver. Borrower waives presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note, and shall pay all costs of collection when incurred, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other expenses.
The right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to any demands hereunder is hereby waived to the full extent permitted by law.
9. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application
of laws of any other jurisdiction.
10.Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on any successor to Borrower and shall extend to any holder hereof.
