The Company shall maintain a ledger of all Holders. The Company has previously issued a separate $2,200,000 principal amount Note dated November 14, 2022 (the “Prior Note”). As used herein and in the Prior Note, the term “Notes” shall mean, collectively, this Note and the Prior Note.

(b)               Payments. All payments of interest and principal shall be in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be made pro rata among all Holders. All payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, and thereafter to principal.

(c)                Prepayment. The Company may prepay this Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (the “Majority Holders”).

(d)               Warrants. In connection with the issuance of this Note, the Company will issue to the Holders common stock warrants (“Warrants”) as follows: (i) Warrants for 650,000 common shares, (ii) Warrant exercise price of $0.61 per common share, and (iii) five year Warrant term. 325,000 of such Warrants (the “Extension Warrants”) would only become exercisable if the maturity date of this Note is extended in accordance with Section 1(e) below.

(e)                Extension Option of this Note. If this Note remains outstanding as of July 31, 2023, the Company shall have the option to extend this Note as provided in this paragraph 1(e). Upon such extension by the Company, (i) the July 31, 2023 date set forth in this Note shall be automatically amended to read “November 30, 2023” (ii) the interest from and after such date shall be 20% rather than 10%, and (iii) the Extension Warrants shall become exercisable.

(g)                Security Interest; Collateral. All obligations under this Note and the Prior Note shall be secured by a lien and security interest on substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to a Security Agreement dated November 14, 2022 (the “Security Agreement”) between the Company and the Holders.

2.                   Conversion and Repayment.

(a)                Qualified Financing Defined. The term “Qualified Financing” shall mean that the Company issues and sells shares of its equity securities (“Equity Securities”) to investors (the “Investors”) on or before the Maturity Date in an equity financing with total proceeds to the Company of not less than $5,000,000 (excluding the conversion of the Notes or other convertible securities issued for capital raising purposes (e.g., Simple Agreements for Future Equity)).

(b)               Optional Conversion. At the earlier of (i) the closing date of a Qualified Financing or (ii) the Maturity Date, the Majority Holders shall have the option to convert any unpaid accrued interest and any original issue discount (“OID”) into shares of the Company’s common stock. Such unpaid accrued interest and OID would convert at a conversion price of $0.61 per share (the “Optional Conversion Price”).^[1]

(c)                Change of Control. If the Company consummates a Change of Control (as defined below) while this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall repay the Holder in cash in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus any unpaid accrued interest on the original principal. For purposes of this Note, a “Change of Control” means (i) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the shares of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization continue to represent a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization; (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of 50% of the Company’s voting power is transferred; or (iii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the Company’s material intellectual property; provided that a Change of Control shall not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor, indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof. The Company shall give the Holder notice of a Change of Control not less than 10 days prior to the anticipated date of consummation of the Change of Control. Any repayment pursuant to this paragraph in connection with a Change of Control shall be subject to any required tax withholdings, and may be made by the Company (or any party to such Change of Control or its agent) following the Change of Control in connection with payment procedures established in connection with such Change of Control.

(d)               Procedure for Conversion. In connection with any conversion of interest and OID on this Note into common stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and deliver to the Company any documentation reasonably required by the Company. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the common stock into which interest and OID on this Note may convert until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company and delivered to the Company any such documentation. Upon the conversion of interest and OID on this Note into common stock pursuant to the terms hereof, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the Holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the price at which this Note converts.

3.                   Representations and Warranties.

(a)                Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents (as defined below), the Company represents and warrants to the Investor, as of the date hereof, that:

(i)                Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

(ii)              Corporate Power. The Company has all requisite corporate power to issue this Note, the Warrants, the Extension Warrants (the “Securities”) and to carry out and perform its obligations thereunder. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved the issuance of the Securities. This Note, the Warrants, the Extension Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying this Note, the Warrants and the Extension Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

(iii)              Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, the Board, the Company’s stockholders and the Company’s debtholders necessary for the issuance and delivery of the Securities has been taken. Each of the Securities constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors and, with respect to rights to indemnity, subject to federal and state securities laws. Any common stock issued upon conversion or exercise of the Securities (the “Underlying Securities”), when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Securities, will be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of any liens or encumbrances and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and securities laws.

(iv)               Governmental Consents. All consents, approvals, orders or authorizations of, or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with, any governmental authority required on the part of the Company in connection with issuance of the Securities has been obtained.

(v)                Compliance with Laws. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties, which violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(vi)              Compliance with Other Instruments. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation or default of any term of its charter or bylaws, or of any provision of any mortgage, indenture or contract to which it is a party and by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ, other than such violation(s) that would not have a Material Adverse Effect or that is otherwise resolvable and shall be resolved by making a payment as an intended use of the proceeds of the Notes. The execution, delivery and performance of the Securities will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company has obtained all waivers reasonably necessary with respect to any anti-dilution rights, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights, including any notice or offering periods provided for as part of any such rights, in order for the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder without any third party obtaining any rights to cause the Company to offer or issue any securities of the Company as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

(vii)             No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Company Covered Person (as defined below) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii), as modified by Rules 506(d)(2) and (d)(3), under the Act (“Disqualification Events”). To the Company’s knowledge, no Company Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent required, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Act. For purposes of this Note, “Company Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Act; provided, however, that Company Covered Persons do not include (a) any Holder, or (b) any person or entity that is deemed to be an affiliated issuer of the Company solely as a result of the relationship between the Company and any Holder.

(viii)            Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holder contained in subsection (b) below, the offer, issue, and sale of the Securities are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act, and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.

The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934, including pursuant to Section 13(a) thereof, for the one (1) year preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Documents prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and other federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to such SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents when filed contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply as to form and substance in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto.
