1. Transfer. This Note is transferable and assignable by the Holder only to any Person approved, in writing, by the Company, provided, however, no approval shall be required in connection with any transfer or assignment of this Note to an Affiliate of the Holder in compliance with applicable securities laws. Upon such approval, the Company agrees to issue from time to time a replacement Note in the form hereof to facilitate such transfers and assignments. In addition, after delivery of an indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company also agrees to promptly issue a replacement Note if this Note is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
2. Term. To the extent not previously paid prior to AUGUST 30, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), the Company will repay the entire Outstanding Balance, plus all interest accrued thereon, on the Maturity Date.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a) Authorization. The Holder has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Note, when executed and delivered by the Holder, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
(b) Purchase for Own Account. This Note will be acquired for investment for the Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.
(c) Disclosure of Information. The Holder has received or has had full access to all the information the Holder considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to this Note. The Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Note and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to the Holder or to which the Holder had access.
(d) Investment Experience. The Holder understands that the purchase of this Note involves substantial risk. The Holder (i) has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that the Holder is able to fend for himself, can bear the economic risk of the Holder’s investment in the Note and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Note and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment and/or (ii) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and its managers and members of a nature and duration that enables the Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons. THE PURCHASE OF THIS NOTE INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK TO THE HOLDER AND SHOULD NOT BE PURCHASED UNLESS THE HOLDER CAN AFFORD TO LOSE HIS ENTIRE INVESTMENT
(e) Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is (a) an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and (b) a sophisticated investor with adequate investment experience and opportunities to have discussions concerning the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Note with the Company’s management.
(f) Restricted Securities. The Holder understands that the Note is a restricted security under the Securities Act and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder inasmuch as it was acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Holder is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. The Holder understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Note.
(g) No Solicitation. At no time was the Holder presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Securities.

(b) Acceleration Upon Event of Default. Upon each and every such Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7(a)(i) and 7(a)(ii) (subject to cure), this Note and any and all indebtedness of the Company to the Holder under this Note shall immediately become due and payable, and upon an Event of Default pursuant to each of the other subsections under Section 7(a) above, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, at the election of the Holder, this Note and any and all indebtedness of the Company to Holder under this Note shall immediately become due and payable both as to principal and interest (including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon), without presentment, demand, or protest, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or other evidence of such indebtedness to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) Other Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, whether or not any acceleration of the Note shall have occurred, the Holder may, among other things, proceed to protect and enforce Holder’s rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof or in and of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law. The Holder shall have a full right of offset for any amounts due upon such an Event of Default against any amounts payable by the Holder to the Company.
