Consists of (i) 703,080 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, (“Common Stock”) of the Issuer directly held by Canaan XII L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (the “Fund”), and 696,920 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) directly held by the Fund. The Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Certificate of Designation”) provides that a holder of Series A Preferred Stock generally has the right to convert each share of Series A Preferred Stock into 70 shares of Common Stock, provided that, subject to certain exceptions, a holder will not have a right to convert Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would exceed a beneficial ownership limitation in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Accordingly, the Fund’s ability to convert Series A Preferred Stock (and its resulting beneficial ownership) currently is limited by this conversion blocker.

(2)

The percent of class was calculated based on 7,038,241 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 19, 2024, as disclosed in the Form S-1 Registration Statement as filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 19, 2024.

POWER OF ATTORNEY

1. Appointment, Powers and Revocation. KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that each undersigned, and if such undersigned is not a natural person, acting by and through one of its authorized representatives (each such undersigned person or entity, a “Grantor”), effective from the date set forth opposite the name of such Grantor on the signature pages hereto (such date, for each Grantor, is hereinafter referred to as such Grantor’s “Effective Date”), hereby constitutes and appoints each of the employees, partners or managers of Canaan Management LLC (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Canaan Partners”) listed on Schedule A attached hereto, which schedule may be amended from time to time by the Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operating Officer of Canaan Partners to remove any such employee, manager or partner or to add any new employee, partner or manager of Canaan Partners (each such employee, partner or manager, an “Attorney-In-Fact”) as the Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, for the Grantor and in the Grantor’s place and stead, in any and all capacities to: (a) sign any and all instruments, certificates and documents required to be executed on behalf of the Grantor as an individual (if applicable) or in the Grantor’s capacity as a general partner, manager, member, managing member or authorized signatory, as the case may be, on behalf of any of the following (i) Canaan Partners, (ii) any of the funds or accounts managed, advised or sponsored by Canaan Partners (the “Canaan Funds”) and (iii) any of the entities formed to act as the direct or indirect general partner, manager, managing member or equivalent of such funds or accounts (the “Canaan General Partners”, together with Canaan Partners and the Canaan Funds collectively, the “Canaan Entities”), in each case, pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), and any and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including, without limitation, filings pursuant to Rule 144 (Form 144)) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including, without limitation, filings pursuant to Section 16 (Forms 3, 4 and 5) and Section 13 (Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G, Form 13F and Form 13H) of the Exchange Act); and (b) file the same, with all exhibits thereto, and any other documents in connection therewith, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and with any other entity when and if such is mandated by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, granting unto such Attorney-In-Fact full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary fully to all intents and purposes as the Grantor might or could do in person thereby, and ratifying and confirming all that such Attorney-In-Fact, or his or her substitute or substitutes, may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof, or may have done in connection with the matters described above. By this power of attorney, each Grantor hereby revokes all previous powers of attorney granted by him, her or it to any Attorney-In-Fact or any other employee, representative or agent of Canaan Partners relating to the matters described above.

2. Effective Date and Termination. This power of attorney shall be effective as to each Grantor as of such Grantor’s Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to each Grantor and each Attorney-In-Fact until:
