a Commonwealth of Puerto Rico corporation (the
“Company”), to _______________________
(the “Holder”) in exchange for the Holder’s
payment of the investment amount set forth above (the

This SAFE is one of a series (the “Series”) of simple agreements for future equity
(collectively, the “Series 1
SAFEs”) issued by the
Company to investors with identical terms and on the same form as

Pursuant to the definitions below and by way of example, if the

the Conversion Price $3 per share. The Conversion Price will be
subject to a Valuation Cap of $15 million.

Equity Financing Conversion.
This SAFE will automatically convert into Common Stock upon the
closing of the Next Equity Financing subject to the Valuation Cap,
or in the event there is no Next Equity Financing before December

the applicable Conversion Price. At least five (5) days prior to
the closing of the Next Equity Financing, the Company will notify
the Holder in writing of the terms of the Common Stock that are
expected to be issued in such financing.
2.2 Mechanics
of Conversion.
(a) Financing
Agreements. The Holder
acknowledges that the conversion of this SAFE into Common Shares
may require the Holder’s execution of certain agreements
relating to the purchase and sale of the Common Shares, as well as
registration rights, rights of first refusal and co-sale, rights of
first offer and voting rights, if any, relating to such securities
(collectively, the “Financing
Agreements”). The Holder
agrees to execute all of the Financing Agreements in connection
with a Next Equity Financing.
(b) Certificates.
As promptly as practicable after the conversion of this SAFE and
the issuance of the Conversion Shares, the Company (at its expense)
will issue and deliver a certificate or certificates evidencing the
Conversion Shares (if certificated) to the Holder. The Company will
not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the
Holder has surrendered this SAFE to the Company (or provided an
instrument of cancellation or affidavit of
loss).
3. No Rights as a
Stockholder. The Holder is not
entitled by virtue of holding this SAFE to be deemed a holder of
the Company’s capital stock for any purpose, nor will
anything contained in this SAFE be construed to confer on the
Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company
or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any
matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give
or withhold consent to any corporate action or to receive notice of
meetings, or to receive subscription rights or otherwise until
Conversion Shares have been issued upon the terms described in this
SAFE.
4. Representations and
Warranties of the Company. In
connection with the transactions contemplated by this SAFE, the
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder as
follows:
4.1 Due
Organization; Qualification and Good Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and has all requisite corporate power
and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The
Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify or
to be in good standing would have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
4.2 Authorization
and Enforceability. Except for
the authorization and issuance of the Conversion Shares, all
corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company and its
officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the
authorization, execution and delivery of this SAFE. Except as may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights, the Company has taken all corporate action
required to make all of the obligations of the Company reflected in
the provisions of this SAFE valid and enforceable in accordance
with its terms.

capacity) to enter into this SAFE and to perform all obligations
required to be performed by it hereunder. This SAFE, when executed
and delivered by the Holder, will constitute the Holder’s
valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and
any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief or other equitable remedies.
5.2 Purchase
Entirely for Own Account. The
Holder acknowledges that this SAFE is made with the Holder in
reliance upon the Holder’s representation to the Company,
which the Holder hereby confirms by executing this SAFE, that this
SAFE, the Conversion Shares, and any Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Conversion Shares (collectively, the
“Securities”) will be acquired for investment for the
Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent (unless
otherwise specified on the Holder’s signature page hereto),
and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part
thereof, and that the Holder has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.
By executing this SAFE, the Holder further represents that the
Holder does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect
to the Securities. If other than an individual, the Holder also
represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of
acquiring the Securities.
5.3 Disclosure
of Information; Non-Reliance.
The Holder acknowledges that it has received all the information it
considers necessary or appropriate to enable it to make an informed
decision concerning an investment in the Securities. The Holder
further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions
and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and
conditions of the offering of the Securities. The Holder confirms
that the Company has not given any guarantee or representation as
to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal,
regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an
investment in the Securities. In deciding to purchase the
Securities, the Holder is not relying on the advice or
recommendations of the Company and has made its own independent
decision that the investment in the Securities is suitable and
appropriate for the Holder. The Holder understands that no federal
or state agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an
investment in the Securities or made any finding or determination
concerning the fairness or advisability of this
investment.
5.4 Investment
Experience. The Holder is an
investor in securities of companies in the development stage and
acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the
economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the
Securities.
5.5 Accredited
Investor. The Holder is an
“accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of

with the purchase and sale of the Securities.
3
5.6 Restricted
Securities. The Holder
understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be,
registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws, by
reason of specific exemptions from the registration provisions
thereof which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature
of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Holder’s
representations as expressed herein. The Holder understands that
the Securities are “restricted securities” under U.S.
federal and applicable state securities laws and that, pursuant to
these laws, the Holder must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(”SEC”) and registered or qualified by state
authorities, or an exemption from such registration and
qualification requirements is available. The Holder acknowledges
that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the
Securities for resale and further acknowledges that, if an
exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may
be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited
to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the
Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are
outside of the Holder’s control, and which the Company is
under no obligation, and may not be able, to
satisfy.
5.7 No
Public Market. The Holder
understands that no public market now exists for the Securities and
that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will
ever exist for the Securities.
5.8 No
General Solicitation. The
Holder, and its officers, directors, employees, agents,
stockholders or partners have not either directly or indirectly,
including through a broker or finder solicited offers for or
offered or sold the Securities by means of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502
of Regulation D under the Securities Act or in any manner involving
a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the
Securities Act. The Holder acknowledges that neither the Company
nor any other person offered to sell the Securities to it by means
of any form of general solicitation or advertising within the
meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or in
any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.]
5.9 Residence.
If the Holder is an individual, then the Holder resides in the
state or province identified in the address shown on the
Holder’s signature page hereto. If the Holder is a
partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other
entity, then the Holder’s principal place of business is
located in the state or province identified in the address shown on
the Holder’s signature page hereto.
5.10 Foreign
Investors. If the Holder is not
a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the Holder hereby
represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance
of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation
to subscribe for the Securities, including (a) the legal
requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the
Securities; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to
such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need
