This written consent may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by electronic signature, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(i) Priya Narasimhan, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer & President, serving as Chair of the Board;

(ii) Elliot Marsh, Co-Founder, Chief Technology Officer; and

(iii) Kenji Watanabe, Independent Director, appointed to the Board effective July 18, 2023.

Each of the foregoing directors is a duly elected and currently serving member of the Board, and together they constitute all of the members of the Board as of the date hereof.

C. Current Officers. The current officers of the Company are as follows:

(i) Priya Narasimhan, Chief Executive Officer & President;

(ii) Elliot Marsh, Chief Technology Officer; and

(iii) Danielle Okoye, Chief Financial Officer, who joined the Company and was appointed to such position effective March 6, 2023.

D. Existing Capitalization. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of ten million (10,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which eight million six hundred thousand (8,600,000) shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding, held of record as follows:

In addition, the Company has reserved one million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), of which four hundred eighty thousand (480,000) shares are subject to outstanding option grants and seven hundred twenty thousand (720,000) shares remain available for future issuance under the Plan.

Furthermore, the Company has outstanding Simple Agreements for Future Equity ("SAFEs") issued in connection with the Company's pre-seed financing round in August 2022 (the "Pre-Seed SAFEs"), in an aggregate purchase amount of one million two hundred thousand dollars ($1,200,000), each bearing a post-money valuation cap of eight million dollars ($8,000,000). The Pre-Seed SAFEs were issued to the following investors in the respective amounts set forth below:

The Pre-Seed SAFEs remain outstanding and have not converted as of the date hereof.

E. Proposed SAFE Financing Round. The Company desires to raise additional capital to fund the continued development, commercialization, and growth of its Lumos Prism platform and general corporate purposes through the issuance of Simple Agreements for Future Equity ("SAFEs") based on the Calderon Partners LLC standard Post-Money SAFE form, as modified to reflect the specific terms negotiated between the Company and the investors described below (the "SAFE Financing"). The total target amount of the SAFE Financing is up to six million eight hundred thousand dollars ($6,800,000) in aggregate purchase amounts. All SAFEs to be issued in connection with the SAFE Financing shall have a post-money valuation cap of twenty-eight million dollars ($28,000,000) and shall not include any discount rate. The anticipated investors and their respective commitment amounts for the SAFE Financing are as follows:

Each SAFE to be issued in the SAFE Financing shall include a most-favored-nation ("MFN") provision in favor of the holder, providing that if the Company subsequently issues any SAFE or similar convertible instrument on terms more favorable to the holder thereof, the holders of the SAFEs issued in the SAFE Financing shall have the right to amend their SAFEs to incorporate such more favorable terms. Conversion events under each SAFE shall include: (a) an Equity Financing, defined as a bona fide transaction or series of transactions with the principal purpose of raising capital in which the Company issues and sells shares of its preferred stock, with a minimum aggregate amount of proceeds of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000), excluding any conversion of SAFEs or other convertible securities (an "Equity Financing"); (b) a Liquidity Event, as defined in the applicable SAFE; and (c) a Dissolution Event, as defined in the applicable SAFE. The SAFEs shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

F. Pro Rata Rights Side Letter. In connection with Vantage Peak Ventures Fund II, L.P.'s commitment as the lead investor of the SAFE Financing, the Company anticipates entering into a separate Pro Rata Rights Side Letter (the "Side Letter") with Vantage Peak Ventures Fund II, L.P., granting such investor customary pro rata participation rights in the next equity financing round following the conversion of its SAFE into equity securities of the Company. Such pro rata rights shall entitle the holder to purchase its proportionate share of securities offered in such subsequent equity financing, on the terms and conditions to be set forth in the Side Letter.

G. Engagement of Counsel. The Company has engaged the law firm of Calderwood & Harkness LLP ("Calderwood & Harkness") as issuer's counsel to the Company in connection with the SAFE Financing. Patricia Dunmore is the responsible partner at Calderwood & Harkness overseeing the engagement, pursuant to an engagement letter dated August 21, 2023, and assigned Matter No. 1008-00003. Calderwood & Harkness has been engaged to prepare and review the form of SAFE, the Side Letter, and all ancillary documentation in connection with the SAFE Financing.

H. Board Determination. The Board has reviewed and carefully considered the terms of the proposed SAFE Financing, including the aggregate amount to be raised, the post-money valuation cap, the form of SAFE instrument, the identity and qualifications of the proposed investors, the pro rata rights to be granted to the lead investor, and the impact of the SAFE Financing on the Company's existing capitalization and the rights of existing stockholders and SAFE holders. After due deliberation and consultation with management and the Company's legal counsel, the Board has determined that the SAFE Financing, on the terms described herein, is fair and reasonable, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and that the Company should proceed with the SAFE Financing on the terms set forth herein.
