FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ChromaDex, Inc., a California corporation having its principal place of

price payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to that certain Stock Redemption Agreement dated as of

This Note shall be due and payable in full, and shall be non-interest bearing provided that

outstanding under this Note have been paid in full, or at the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law, whichever is less. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
outstanding on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. Borrower may prepay this Note without
premium or penalty. All payments received on account of this Note shall be first applied to
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and the remainder shall be applied to the reduction of
principal.



If any amount due under this Note is not timely paid in accordance with this Note, Lender may
in its discretion exercise any and all rights and remedies, now or in the future available to it,
whether under this Note, at law or in equity.



All payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be made to Bayer Innovation GmbH,

account or such other account as directed by Lender, in lawful money of the
United States of America and in immediately available funds, without setoff, counterclaim,
