and payable in full pursuant to the terms of Section 2 hereof without further notice or demand by Holder and (ii) in the case of any Event of Default other than under Section 5.1(b) above, become immediately due
and payable upon written notice by or on behalf of Holder to the Company but only if such notice is given with the prior written consent of the Majority Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, or of the other Financing Documents,
Holder agrees that Holder will exercise Holder’s rights and remedies under this Note and the other Financing Documents only in concert with all other holders of outstanding Notes as provided in the Financing Documents and will not take any
action, including commencement or prosecution of litigation or any other proceeding to collect this Note, except as agreed by the Majority Holders. 

6.    CONVERSION. 

6.1    Conversion in Next Financing. Upon the closing of the Next Financing (the “Next
Financing Closing”), if the entire Balance is outstanding at such time, then such Balance shall automatically be converted into that number of shares of Conversion Stock issued in the Next Financing, obtained by dividing (i) the
entire Balance by (ii) the Conversion Price, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. In connection with a conversion pursuant to this Section 6.1, Holder shall deliver the original Note to the Company and
will execute and deliver to the Company at the Next Financing Closing such stock purchase, investors’ rights, right of first refusal, co-sale, voting and/or other agreements as are entered into by the
investors in the Next Financing generally. Such conversion shall be deemed to occur under this Section 6.1 as of immediately prior to the Next Financing Closing, without regard to whether Holder has then delivered to the
Company this Note (or the Lost Note Documentation where applicable) or executed any other documents including, if applicable, the stock purchase, investors’ rights, right of first refusal, co-sale, voting and/or other agreements, required to be
executed by the investors purchasing the Conversion Stock in the Next Financing. 
 6.2    Conversion Upon
Maturity. If there has not been a Next Financing Closing or a Change of Control by the Maturity Date, then the Balance then outstanding shall automatically be converted into Conversion Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect. Holder
shall tender this Note on the Maturity Date (or Lost Note Documentation, if applicable) for conversion at the chief executive offices of the Company. If Holder elects to convert this Note pursuant to this Section 6.2 then
such conversion shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the Maturity Date. 

  
 4 














 6.3    Optional Partial Conversion. If on or before the
Maturity Date, the Company is able to repay the Note based on financing available to the Company that is not a Next Financing, the Company will inform the Holder that a cash, non-equity payment is an option.
The Holder will then have the option to decide whether to convert all or a portion of the Balance into equity. If the Holder elects a cash payment of all or a portion of the Balance then the repayment amount will be 140% of such Balance less any
portion of the Balance that is converted into equity. Any portion of the Balance that is not repaid pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be converted on the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 6.2. 

6.4    Termination of Rights. Except for the right to obtain certificates representing the Conversion Stock
under Section 7 below, all rights with respect to this Note shall terminate upon the effective conversion of the entire Balance of the Note as provided in Section 6 above. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Holder agrees to surrender this Note to the Company (or Lost Note Documentation where applicable) as soon as practicable after conversion. In any event, Holder shall not be entitled to receive any stock certificates representing the
shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note unless and until Holder has surrendered the original of this Note (or Lost Note Documentation where applicable). 

7.    CERTIFICATES; NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. As soon as practicable after conversion of this Note pursuant to
Section 6 above, the Company at its expense will register such shares of Conversion Stock in the Company’s Register of Stockholders in the name of the respective Holder and will cause to be issued in the name of Holder
and to be delivered to Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Conversion Stock to which Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable state and federal securities laws
in the opinion of legal counsel of the Company, by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and by any agreement between the Company and Holder), together with any other securities and property to which Holder is entitled upon such
conversion under the terms of this Note. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. If upon any conversion of this Note (and after aggregating the amounts of all other Notes held by the same Holder that are converted at the
same time as this Note), a fraction of a share would otherwise be issued, then in lieu of such fractional share, the Company shall pay to Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction of a share multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price. 

8.    PROVISIONS RELATING TO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS; NO VOTING OR OTHER RIGHTS. This Note does not entitle
Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company, unless and until (and only to the extent that) this Note is actually converted into shares of the Company’s capital stock in accordance with its terms. In the absence
of conversion of this Note into Conversion Stock no provisions of this Note and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall cause Holder to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose. 

9.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER. In order to induce the Company and the
Holders to enter into the Financing Documents and the Company to issue this Note to the original Holder, the Company and the original Holder each have made representations and warranties to each other as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 

10.    GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

10.1    Waivers. The Company and all endorsers of this Note hereby waive notice, presentment, protest and
notice of dishonor. 
 10.2    Attorneys’ Fees. If any party is required to engage the services of an
attorney for the purpose of enforcing this Note, or any provision thereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable expenses and costs in enforcing this Note, including attorneys’ fees. 

  
 5 














 10.3    Transfer. Neither this Note nor any rights
hereunder may be assigned, conveyed or transferred, in whole or in part, without the Company’s prior written consent, which the Company may withhold in its sole discretion; provided, however, that this Note may be assigned,
conveyed or transferred without the prior written consent of the Company to any Affiliate of Holder (including an affiliated venture capital fund) who executes and delivers to the Company an acknowledgement that such Affiliate agrees to be subject
to, and bound by, all the terms and conditions of this Note and satisfies the Company that such transfer complies with state and federal securities laws. Subject to the foregoing, the rights and obligations of the Company and Holder under this Note
and the other Financing Documents shall be binding upon and benefit their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees. 

10.4    Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed under the internal laws of the State of
Delaware applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws or choice of laws. 

10.5    Headings. The headings and captions used in this Note are used only for convenience and are not to be

 10.7    Amendments and
Waivers. This Note may be amended, and any provisions under this Note may be waived, only with the written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders as provided in Section 6.9 of the Purchase Agreement. 

10.8    Severability. If one or more provisions of this Note are held to be unenforceable under applicable
