2.3 The undersigned Investor affirms that he/she/it is not subscribing for the Notes as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by person previously not known to the undersigned in connection with investments generally.

 

2.4 The undersigned Investor understands that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Investor does not have registration rights nor is the Company under any obligation to register the Notes or the Shares underlying the Notes (collectively, the “Securities”) under the Act upon the written or other demand of the Investor or otherwise.

 

2.5 The undersigned is: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Reg D; (ii) is experienced in making investments of the kind described in this Subscription Agreement; (iii) is able, by reason of his/her/its business and financial experience, to protect his/her/its own interests in connection with the transactions described in this Subscription Agreement, and the related documents; and (iv) able to afford the entire loss of his/her/its investment in the Notes.

 

2.6 The undersigned Investor acknowledges his/her/its understanding that the Offering is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, based upon the exemption provided under Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Securities Act. The undersigned represents that he is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

2.7 In furtherance thereof, in addition to the other representations and warranties of the undersigned Investor made herein, the undersigned further represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company as follows: (i) the undersigned realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the undersigned is subscribing for and acquiring the Notes for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise; (ii) the undersigned has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his/her/its investment in the Securities, has adequate means for providing for his/her/its current needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Securities offered by the Company; (iii) the undersigned, either individually or by its officers and principals, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities; (iv) the undersigned, if an entity and not a “natural person,” represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities; (v) the undersigned has been provided an opportunity for a reasonable period of time prior to the date hereof to obtain additional information concerning the Offering, the Company and all other information the undersigned deems relevant, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense; and (vi) the undersigned understands that as of the date of this Offering and perhaps for the foreseeable future, the Company is not a reporting company under nor has it filed any reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned acknowledges that the Company has filed reports with the OTC Markets under its former name, Innovative Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. (OTC: IBGH), and its current name, Quantum Computing, Inc. (OTC: QUBT) and that as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is not current in its reporting obligations with OTC Markets.

2.8 The undersigned is not relying on the Company, or its affiliates or agents, with respect to economic considerations involved in his/her/its investment in the Securities and the undersigned has relied solely on his/her/its own financial expertise and/or that of his/her/its legal, financial and investment advisors..

2.11 The undersigned understands that the Notes are being offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of United States federal securities laws under Reg D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the undersigned set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the suitability of the undersigned to acquire the Securities.

 

2.12 The undersigned understands that an investment in the Securities is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of his/her/its entire investment.

 

2.13 The undersigned’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned’s net worth, and an investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

 

2.14 The undersigned represents and warrants to the Company that all information that the undersigned has provided to the Company, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties provided herein or previously provided to the Company are true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof and will be as of the Closing.

 

2.15 The undersigned is aware that no federal or state agency has: (i) made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this investment; (ii) made any recommendation or endorsement of the Notes subject to this Offering or the Company; or (iii) guaranteed or insured any investment in the Securities or any investment made in or by the Company.

 

2.16 The undersigned understands that the Notes and the conversion price of $1.00 per Share applicable to the principal amount and accrued interest does not necessarily bear any relation to the assets, book value or net worth of the Company and was determined arbitrarily by the Company and its management after taking into consideration, among other things, the Company’s new business direction, name change and (1 for 200) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

2.17 The undersigned further understands that there is a substantial risk of further dilution on his/her/its investment in the Company because of the issuance and sale of additional Notes, Shares or other securities by the Company.

 

2.18 The undersigned will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in any jurisdiction in which the undersigned purchases or sells Securities and obtain any consent, approval or permission required for such purchases or sales under the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction to which the undersigned is subject or in which the undersigned makes such purchases or sales, and the Company shall have no responsibility therefore.

 

2.19 Neither the execution or delivery by the undersigned of this Subscription Agreement to which the undersigned is a party, nor the consummation or performance by the undersigned of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will, directly or indirectly, (a) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any provision of the organizational documents of the undersigned (if the undersigned is not a natural person); (b) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default (or an event or condition which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination or acceleration of, any agreement or instrument to which the undersigned is a party or by which the properties or assets of the undersigned are bound; or (c) contravene, conflict with, result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, impair the rights of the undersigned under, or alter the obligations of any person under, or create in any person the right to terminate, amend, accelerate or cancel, or require any notice, report or other filing (whether with a governmental authority or any other person) pursuant to, or result in the creation of a lien on any of the assets or properties of the undersigned under, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the undersigned is a party or any of the undersigned’s assets and properties are bound or affected.

2.22 The undersigned will not transfer any or all of the undersigned’s Securities absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities law covering the disposition of the undersigned’s Securities, without first providing the Company with an opinion of counsel (which counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that such transfer will be exempt from the registration and the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the registration or qualification requirements of any applicable U.S. state securities laws.

 

2.23 The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the Company may refuse to transfer the Securities, unless the undersigned complies with this Subscription Agreement and any other restrictions on transferability set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1.3 The Holder hereby represents to the Company that the Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.

 

1.4 The Holder acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the terms of the above-referenced Subscription Agreement that this Note: (i) bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum (the “Interest”); (ii) is due and payable on a date twelve (12) months from the Issuance Date (the “Maturity Date”); and (iii) the Interest and principal amount of this Note payable to Holder is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) at a conversion price of $1.00 per Share (the “Conversion Price”).

2.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2 above, the entire unpaid Principal sum of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, unless the same shall be converted into Shares, shall become immediately due and payable upon: (i) the execution by the Company of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) 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 90 days or more; or (iii) the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of the property or assets of the Company.

Section 3. Conversion: 

 

3.1  The Holder shall have the option to (i) convert this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time during the term of the Note or (ii) upon the Maturity Date. The number of shares that shall be issuable upon conversion of the Note shall equal the number derived by dividing (x) the principal amount of the Note plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon by (y) US $1.00. No fractional shares shall be issued upon a conversion. In lieu of any fractional shares to which Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall round up to the nearest whole share.

The Notice of Conversion shall be accompanied by the original Note.
