2. The Note

The Company hereby acknowledges receipt of a loan from the Investor in the principal sum of {{loan_amount}} ({{loan_amount_words}}), (the “Principal Amount”). The Company promises to pay the Principal Amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, to the Investor on the Maturity Date, as defined in Section 3, unless converted earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

3. Maturity Date and Interest

The maturity date of this Note shall be {{maturity_date}} (the “Maturity Date”).

Interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount at a rate of {{interest_rate}}% per annum, compounded annually. All interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

4. Conversion

4.1. Automatic Conversion: Upon the occurrence of a Qualified Financing (as defined below) before the Maturity Date, the outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall automatically convert into equity shares of the Company.

4.2. Optional Conversion: At any time prior to the Maturity Date, should the Company issue shares at a valuation less than the cap, the Investor may elect to convert the outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest into equity shares of the Company at the conversion price defined in Section 4.3.

4.3. Conversion Price: The conversion price shall be either (a) {{discount_rate}}% of the price per share paid by investors in the Qualified Financing, or (b) the price per share resulting from a valuation cap of {{valuation_cap}} (the “Valuation Cap”), whichever results in a lower conversion price for the Investor.

5. Qualified Financing

“Qualified Financing” means the Company’s next equity financing round in which the Company raises gross proceeds of at least {{minimum_raise_amount}} from the sale of its equity securities.

6. Representations and Warranties
