Conversion Price: The conversion price shall be either (a) {{discount_rate}}% of the price per share paid by investors in the Qualified Financing, or (b) the price per share resulting from a valuation cap of {{valuation_cap}} (the “Valuation Cap”), whichever results in a lower conversion price for the Investor.
