WHEREAS, this Note is part of a larger investment round (the “Convertible Note Round”) comprised of numerous lenders (the “Lenders”);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. The Lender Loan.

 

  On the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of herein, the Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower on December 1, 2019 (the “Closing Date”) $ in principal amount (the “Principal Amount”) against the issuance and delivery by the Borrower of a convertible promissory note in such amount (the “Note”).

 

2. Interest.

  (ii) January 1, 2022 – December 1, 2022: Interest paid monthly in PIK, unless Lender notifies the Borrower five (5) business days in advance and in writing (including in email form) selecting monthly interest payment in Cash.
     
  (iii) PIK shall be calculated at a fixed price of $4.50 per share (“PIK Price per Share”). During the Term of the Note, PIK Price per Share shall be adjusted for any Borrower share splits, recapitalizations, combination, share dividends and the like.

 

3. Maturity; PrePayment; Amortization

For clarification, in the case of a PrePayment, Lender shall retain any Borrower equity issued to it prior to PrePayment.
     
  (v) Any outstanding Principal Amount on December 1, 2021 shall amortize in twelve (12) equal monthly cash payments (the “Amortization”) commencing January 1, 2022 (i.e. Month 25 from the Closing Date) through the Maturity Date (the “Amortization Period”), so that no Principal Amount will be outstanding at the Maturity Date.

4.  Conversion.

 

  (i) Lender may elect to convert any outstanding Principal Amount into Borrower’s Common Shares (the “Conversion”), at any time and at its sole discretion, at a fixed conversion price of $4.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”). Any Conversion election by a Borrower will be made in writing (including email form) to the Borrower at least five (5) business days prior to the conversion event.
  (ii) During the Term of the Note, Conversion Price per Share shall be adjusted for any Borrower share splits, recapitalizations, combination, share dividends and the like.

 

5. Equity Issuance.
