Principal Amount: $1,000,000 Dated as of April 27, 2023

 

PRIVETERRA Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of Priveterra Sponsor, LLC or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), or order, the principal sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or such lesser amount as shall have been advanced by Payee to Maker and shall remain unpaid under this Note on the Maturity Date (as defined below) in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. All payments on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by the Maker to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

 

1.     Principal. The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note plus any interest payable thereon pursuant to Section 3 shall be payable on the date on which Maker consummates an initial business combination with AEON Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AEON”, such transaction, the “AEON Business Combination” and such date, the “Maturity Date”). In the event that the AEON Business Combination is not consummated or is otherwise terminated, the full amount of the Principal Amount of this Note shall be payable by Maker to Payee within fifteen (15) days of such failure to consummate or termination; provided, that in no event shall Maker make any payment of the Principal Amount other than from cash of Maker held outside the trust account established in connection with the Maker’s initial public offering and to the extent the working capital of Maker held outside such trust account is insufficient for payment of the outstanding Principal Amount, Maker shall have no further liability for any excess amount of unpaid principal balance under this Note to Payee. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or interest holder of Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.

 

2.     Use of Proceeds. Maker and Payee agree that Maker may use the Principal Amount solely to fund a working capital loan by AEON to Maker, for purposes of funding the working capital of Maker.

 

3.     Interest. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

4.     Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorney’s fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

 

 

 

5.     Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”):

 

  (a) Failure to Make Required Payments. Failure by Maker to pay the principal amount due pursuant to this Note within five (5) business days after the Maturity Date.

 

  (b) Voluntary Bankruptcy, Dissolution, Etc.

  (c) Involuntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days.
