4.2 Additional Rights and Obligations. The initial terms governing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock acquired by Purchaser under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, price per share, liquidation preference, conversion into Common Stock, voting rights, participation rights, and board of directors election rights) are set forth in the SI Securities, LLC Terms for Private Placement of Preferred Stock (the “Term Sheet”) that is attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement. If the Company issues securities in its next equity financing after the date hereof (the “Next Financing,” which for the avoidance of doubt includes all further issuances of Series A Preferred Stock to other potential purchasers after the Agreement Date) that (a) have rights, preferences or privileges that are more favorable than the Term Sheet’s terms of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold to Purchaser under this Agreement (e.g., pricebased anti-dilution protection or a lower per share purchase price), or (b) provide all such future investors other contractual terms such as registration rights, the Company shall provide substantially equivalent rights to Purchaser with respect to its shares of Series A Preferred Stock (with appropriate adjustment for economic terms or other contractual rights, including, for example, an increase to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Purchaser under this Agreement if there are any sales of the Series A Preferred Stock for a lower price per share than is reflected on the signature page to this Agreement), subject to Purchaser’s execution of any documents, including, if applicable, investor rights, co-sale, voting, and other agreements, executed by the investors purchasing securities in the Next Financing (such documents, the “Next Financing Documents”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the Purchaser’s but not Company’s approval protections under Section 7.7, upon the execution and delivery of the Next Financing Documents by purchasers holding a majority of the thenoutstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by all purchasers, this Agreement (excluding any then-existing and outstanding obligations) shall be amended and restated by and into such Next Financing Documents and shall be terminated and of no further force or effect.
4.3 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, all Common Stock issuable from time to time upon conversion of that number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Total Shares Authorized for Sale, regardless of whether or not all such shares have been issued at such time.

WHEREAS, the Parties now wish to memorialize the agreed upon terms with respect to Company’s Offering of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Principal Terms”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows to the following Principal Terms:
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK TERM SHEET

| Offering Amount: | $7,000,000 |
| Allocation Amount: | $5,000,000 of Securities shall be made available for sale to Purchasers. |
| Escrow Minimum: | $1,300,000 raised in the Offering. |
| Price Per Share: | A price per share (the “Original Issue Price”), based on a fully-diluted pre-money valuation of $25,000,000 divided by the fully-diluted capitalization of the Company prior to the Offering, and subject to adjustment in accordance with any future stock split. For the avoidance of doubt, the fully-diluted capitalization of the Company shall include the conversion or exercise of any outstanding SAFEs, convertible notes, warrants, and options, as well as a pool of unallocated options issuable post- financing. |
Liquidation Preference: |
One times the Original Issue Price plus declared but unpaid dividends on each share of the Securities, with the balance of proceeds to be paid to holders of preferred stock issued by the Company prior to the issuance of the Securities, if applicable, and common stock holders. A merger, reorganization or similar transaction will be treated as a liquidation. |
| Conversion: | Convertible into one share of common stock (subject to proportional adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and the like) at any time at the option of the holder. Automatically convertible upon a firm commitment public offering or a direct listing on a national stock exchange at a minimum price to be mutually determined by the Company and SI Securities, subject to any future stock split. |
| Voting Rights: | Votes together with the common stock on all matters on an as-converted basis. Approval of a majority of the Securities shall be required to (i) adversely change rights of the Securities; (ii) change the authorized number of shares; (iii) authorize a new series of preferred stock having rights senior to or on parity with the Securities; (iv) redeem or repurchase any shares (other than pursuant to employee or consultant agreements); and (v) liquidate or dissolve, including any change of control. |
Financial Information: |
Purchasers who have invested at least $50,000 (“Major Purchasers”) will receive standard information and inspection rights. |
| Participation Right: | Purchasers will have the right to participate on a pro rata basis in subsequent issuances of equity securities. |
| Board of Directors: | At least one independent director elected by holders of a majority of the common stock and preferred stock, voting together as a single class. |
| Future Rights: | The Securities will be given the same rights as the next series of preferred stock (with appropriate adjustments for economic terms). |
| Drag-Along: | If a liquidation event (including any change of control) is approved by each of (i) the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock then-outstanding (other than those issued or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock), (ii) the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock then issued or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then-outstanding and (iii) the Board, then each shareholder shall vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all shares of capital stock of the Company now or hereafter directly or indirectly owned of record or beneficially by such shareholder in favor of, and adopt, such liquidation event. |
| Amendments: | This Term Sheet may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written agreement executed by all Parties. No breach of any provision of this Term Sheet can be waived unless done so in writing. Waiver of any one breach shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of the same or any other provision of this Term Sheet. |
| Governing Law: | This Term Sheet shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America. The Parties each hereby consent and submit to the jurisdiction and forum of the state and federal courts in New York in all questions and controversies arising out of this Term Sheet. |
| Entire Agreement: | This Term Sheet contains the entire understanding of the Parties to this Term Sheet with respect to the matters listed herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the Parties with respect to the matters listed herein. |
| Counterparts: | This Term Sheet may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. |
