For

Shop, Inc. (the “Holder”), the principal sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00). Interest
shall accrue from the date of this Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) on the unpaid principal amount
at a rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum simple interest. This Note is one of a series of Convertible Promissory Notes containing
substantially identical terms and conditions issued pursuant to that certain Convertible Promissory Note Purchase Agreement dated
as of July 10, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Such Notes are referred to herein as the “Notes”
and the holders thereof are referred to herein as the “Holders”. This Note is subject to the following terms
and conditions.
1.
Maturity. Unless converted pursuant to Section 2 or repaid pursuant to Section 3, the entire unpaid principal sum
of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be payable upon the demand of a Majority in Interest (as
defined below) at any time after July 10, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire
unpaid principal sum of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable
without further action by the Holder upon (a) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (b) the commission
of any act of bankruptcy by the Company, the execution by the Company of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the
filing by or against the Company of a petition in bankruptcy or any petition for relief under the federal bankruptcy act or the
continuation of such petition without dismissal for a period of ninety (90) days or more, or the appointment of a receiver or
trustee to take possession of the property or assets of the Company.
2.
Conversion.
(a)
Conversion Upon Next Equity Financing. The entire then-outstanding principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest
on this Note (the “Conversion Amount”) shall be automatically converted into the Company’s preferred
equity securities (the “Next Equity Securities”) issued and sold at the close of the Company’s next preferred
equity financing in a single transaction or a series of related transactions yielding gross proceeds to the Company of at least
$750,000 in the aggregate (excluding the conversion of the: i) Notes, and ii) Notes issued in connection with the exercise of
the Convertible Note Purchase Option) if consummated prior to the Maturity Date (the “Next Equity Financing”).
The number of shares of Next Equity Securities to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Conversion
Amount divided by the product of: (i) the per share price of the Next Equity Securities, and (ii) 0.85 (the “Next Equity
Conversion Price”) and (ii) the Conversion Amount divided by: an amount equal to $9,000,000 divided by the Company’s
Fully Diluted Capitalization (excluding the conversion of the: i) Notes, and ii) Notes issued in connection with the exercise
of the Convertible Note Purchase Option). Upon such conversion of this Note, the Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to
the Company all transaction documents related to the Next Equity Financing, including a purchase or exchange agreement and other
ancillary agreements, with customary representations and warranties and transfer restrictions (including a lock-up agreement in
connection with an initial public offering), and having the same terms and conditions as those agreements entered into by the
other purchasers of the Next Equity Securities.

(b)
Optional Conversion Upon Maturity Date. In the event that the Company has not consummated the Next Equity Financing
prior to the Maturity Date, then at the election of (i) the Holder, with respect to the Note, or (ii) the holders of a majority
of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (a “Majority in Interest”), with respect to
all of the Notes, this Note shall be automatically converted into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock (the
“Common Stock”) equal to (A) the Conversion Amount as of the Maturity Date divided by (B) an amount equal to
$9,000,000 divided by the Company’s Fully Diluted Capitalization immediately prior to the Maturity Date (excluding the conversion
of the: i) Notes, and ii) Notes issued in connection with the exercise of the Convertible Note Purchase Option). Upon such conversion
of this Note, the Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all documents reasonably requested by the Company
in connection with such conversion effective as of the Maturity Date, including a purchase or exchange agreement and, to the extent
the Holder is not already a party thereto, any other documents entered into by all existing holders of Common Stock. For the purposes
of this Note, “Fully Diluted Capitalization” shall mean the total number of the Company’s equity securities
outstanding or reserved for issuance (including any shares reserved for issuance under any equity incentive plan, option plan
or similar arrangement) as set forth in Exhibit B of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement.
(c)
Mechanics and Effect of Conversion. No fractional equity securities of the Company will be issued upon conversion
of this Note. In lieu of any fractional equity securities to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company will pay
to the Holder in cash the amount of the unconverted principal and interest balance of this Note that would otherwise be converted
into such fractional equity securities. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder shall surrender this
Note, duly endorsed, at the principal offices of the Company or any transfer agent of the Company. At its expense, the Company
will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder, at such principal office, a certificate or certificates
for the number of equity securities to which such Holder is entitled upon such conversion, together with any other securities
and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the
Holder for any cash amounts payable as described herein. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company will be forever released from
all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note with regard to that portion of the principal amount and accrued interest
being converted including without limitation the obligation to pay such portion of the principal amount and accrued interest.

hereof may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment shall be credited first to the accrued interest then
