If you have ISOs, you may avoid ordinary income tax but may easily get hit with AMT. After you pay for the stock, and any associated taxes, you hold common shares that stand in the back of the line on any liquidity event, meaning that you might get nothing even in a liquidity event should the proceeds not exceed the value of the liquidation preferences held by preferred stockholders or should the acquisition be structured in a way that primarily rewards those who get bonus/retention packages with the acquirer and leaves others with essentially nothing.

If, however, the company can do a qualified funding before the note matures, the debt converts into preferred-stock equity on the terms struck with the equity investors at first funding, usually with a price discount, sometimes with a price cap, and typically with merger-premium protection for the converting noteholders for the added risk they take in being early in the game when risks are at their highest. In that case, the debt vanishes and the noteholder becomes an equity holder and everybody wins in terms of optimal positioning of their respective stakes in the venture: founders have gotten their cheap stock that they can hold until a liquidity event, at which time they can sell typically for long-term capital gains and with no intervening taxes to pay; noteholders have gotten their equity stakes with all protections and with no-less-favorable pricing than that offered to the preferred stock investors who presumably have negotiated a good, arms-length deal for themselves; the company avoids a too-early high repricing of its stock so it can continue to offer good incentives to new team members as they join; and the company does not usually have to fool with 409A valuations or with other strings and formalities attending the bringing in of investors via equity rounds.
