$5,000,000, excluding any and all notes which are converted into Equity Shares (including this Note and the other Notes issued

then all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of and all accrued interest under this Note shall be convertible at the
option of the Investor into such Equity Shares at the same price and on the same terms as the other investors in the Qualified
Equity Financing (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or recapitalizations).


 


(b)  
Conversion Mechanics. Upon such conversion of this Note, the Investor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the
Company all transaction documents related to the Qualified Equity Financing, including a purchase agreement and other ancillary
agreements, with customary representations and warranties and transfer restrictions (including a 180-day lock-up agreement in connection
with an initial public offering), and having the same terms as those agreements entered into by the other purchasers of the Equity
Shares. The Investor also agrees to deliver the original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been
lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any
loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) at the closing of the Qualified Equity Financing for cancellation; provided,
however, that upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 6(a), this Note shall be deemed converted
and of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this sentence.

(c)   
Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.
In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor
an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the conversion price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the
previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of any amounts specified in this Section 6(c),
the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note.


 


7.     
Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Sections 9 and 10
below, the rights and obligations of the Company and Investor shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs,
administrators and transferees of the parties.


 


8.     
Investor Representations. As acknowledged by the Investor on the signature page hereto, Investor hereby represents
and warrants to the Company upon the acquisition of the Note and the Warrants as follows:


 


(a)   
Investor has been advised that the Notes, the Warrants and the underlying securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act, or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act
and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Investor is aware
that, the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration with respect to the Notes, the Warrants or the underlying
securities or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration. Investor has not been formed solely for the purpose of
making this investment and is purchasing the Notes or Warrants to be acquired by Investor hereunder for its own account for investment,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof. Investor has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such
investment, is able to incur a complete loss of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an
indefinite period of time. Investor is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities
Act.


 


(b)  
Investor acknowledges that the Company has given Investor access to the corporate records and accounts of the Company and
to all information in its possession relating to the Company, has made its officers and representatives available for interview
by such Investor, and has furnished such Investor with all documents and other information required for such Investor to make an
informed decision with respect to the purchase of the Notes and the Warrants.


 


9.     
Transfer of this Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion Hereof. With respect to any offer, sale or other
disposition of this Note or securities into which such Note may be converted, Investor will give written notice to the Company
prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of Investor’s counsel, or other evidence
if reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected without registration
or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect). Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory
opinion, if so requested, or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify Investor that Investor may sell
or otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company.
If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 9 that the opinion of counsel for Investor, or other evidence,
is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify Investor promptly after such determination has been
made. Each Note thus transferred and each certificate representing the securities thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the
applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel
for the Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. the Company may issue stop transfer
instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. Subject to the foregoing, transfers of this Note shall
be registered upon registration books maintained for such purpose by or on behalf of the Company. Prior to presentation of this
Note for registration of transfer, the Company shall treat the registered holder hereof as the owner and holder of this Note for
the purpose of receiving all payments of principal and interest hereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this
Note shall be overdue and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
