	$_________	 	[Date]            

  
 FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
the undersigned, PHAGE BIOTECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), promises to pay to the order of
            [Name]            or              its registered
assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of [Amount Written Out ] ($Amount) [minimum $20,000 and additional $10,000 increments thereafter], with interest from the date hereof at the rate of 7% per annum on the unpaid
balance hereof until paid. 
  
 1. Principal. The principal
of this Note shall be payable in one installment on the earlier of (a) three years from the date hereof; or (b) 30 days after the successful completion of the Company’s initial public offering in the United States (an “IPO”)
(in either case, the “Maturity Date”). This Note is subject to automatic conversion upon the occurrence of the Conversion Events described in Paragraphs 3(a) and conversion at the option of the Holder pursuant to Paragraph 3(b).

  
 2. Interest. Interest on the unpaid principal balance
of this Note shall accrue at the rate of 7% per annum compounded annually (computed on the basis of a 365-366 day year (as applicable) based on actual days elapsed) commencing on the date hereof. The Company agrees to pay interest after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the highest rate of interest per annum permitted by applicable law and (b) 14% per annum (the “Default Rate”) until all amounts outstanding
under the Note payable to Holder have been paid in full. For purposes herein, an “Event of Default” exists in the event the Company fails to make a payment required by Paragraph 1 hereof, and such failure is not cured within 10 days
following written notice from the Holder. 
  
 3. Conversion
Events and Mechanics of Conversion. 
  
 (a)
Automatic Conversion. Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event (as hereinafter defined), the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note will automatically convert into Common Stock of the Company at a price equal to the Conversion Price
(as hereinafter defined). For purposes herein, “Conversion Event” shall mean the consummation of a merger or sale of the Company in which the Company is not a surviving entity. For purposes herein “Conversion Price” shall be $800
per share; provided however, if the 

  

 1 








 
purchase price for shares at the completion of the Company’s IPO (the “IPO Price”) is less than $1,600 per share, the Conversion Price shall
be adjusted to equal 50% of the IPO Price. 
  
 (b) At Holder’s Option. The Holder has the option to convert all, but not less than all, of this Note into Common Stock at any time prior to the Maturity Date, for the Conversion Price set forth in Paragraph 3(a) above. The
Holder may exercise this option only in accordance with Paragraph 3(c) below. 
  
 (c) Mechanics of Conversion. The equity securities that are issuable to the Holder upon any conversion of this Note shall be referred to as the “Conversion Shares.” To exercise the Holder’s right
of conversion, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company at its registered office, accompanied by a written notice in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, properly completed (the “Conversion Notice”). Within ten business
days after its receipt of this Note and the Conversion Notice, the Company shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificates for the number of full Conversion Shares issuable, registered in the Holder’s name and bearing the restrictive
legend stated herein. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected and the number of the Conversion Shares issuable in connection with such conversion shall be determined as of the close of business on the date on which this Note and the
Conversion Notice shall have been received by the Company and, at such time, the Holder’s rights as holder of such Note shall cease, and the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares or interest represented
thereby. 
  
 4. Antidilution. In the event the Company
declares or pays any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or in the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock is subdivided, by reclassification, stock split or otherwise, into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock prior to the Maturity Date, this Note shall, after such dividend or subdivision, entitle the Holder to receive upon conversion the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder would be entitled had the Holder converted this Note
immediately prior to such dividend or subdivision. 
  
 5.
Transfer Restrictions. The Holder shall not transfer the Note or the Conversion Shares (except to its own affiliate, subsidiary, or shareholders) until (a) it has first given written notice to the Company, describing briefly the manner
of any such proposed transfer; and (b) (i) the Company has received from the Holder’s counsel an opinion that such transfer can be made without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable
state securities laws, or (ii) a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities commissions
having jurisdiction. 
  
 6. Currency; Payments. All
references herein to “dollars” or “$” are to U.S. dollars, and all payments of principal of and interest on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds. If the date on
which any such payment is required to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Note occurs on a Saturday or Sunday or legal holiday observed in the State of California, such payments shall be due and payable on the immediately succeeding date
which is not a Saturday or Sunday or legal holiday so observed.

 7. Waiver. The Company expressly waives presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonor, notice
of nonpayment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, and diligence in collection. 
  
 8. Jurisdiction. The Company consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of California for any legal action, suit or
proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Note, and agrees that any such action, suit, or proceeding may be brought only in such courts. The Company further waives any objection to the laying of venue for any suit, action or proceeding in
such courts. The Company agrees to accept and acknowledge service of any and all process that may be served in any suit, action or proceeding. The Company agrees that any service of process mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested to the Company at the address set forth below shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such party in any such suit, action or proceeding. 
  
 9. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In the event of any legal proceedings in connection with this Note, all expenses
in connection with such legal proceedings of the prevailing party, including reasonable legal fees and applicable costs and expenses, shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party upon demand. This provision shall not merge with any enforcement
order or judgment on this Note and shall be applicable to any proceeding to enforce or appeal any judgment relating to the Note. 
  
 10. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired, unless the provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall substantially impair the
benefits of the remaining provisions hereof. 
  
 11. Successors
and Assigns. This Note shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns and shall be binding upon the undersigned and its successors and permitted assigns. As used herein, the term “Holder” shall mean
and include the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. 
  
 12. Governing Law. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Note and the rights and obligations of all parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of
laws principles. 
  
 13. Headings. The headings in this
Note are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

 14. Modification. This Note may not be modified or amended orally, but only by an agreement in
writing signed by the party against whom such agreement is sought to be enforced.
