DELAYED DRAW PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Maximum Principal Amount: $2,500,000 Dated as of March 30, 2023

New York, New York

 

26 Capital Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of 26 Capital Holdings LLC, or its permitted assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances (as defined below) in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. The Maker acknowledges and agrees that the Payee has provided it with $2,500,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds on or before the date hereof. All payments on this Note (except as set forth in Section 17 below) shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by the Payee to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

 

1. Delayed Draw Line of Credit. The Payee hereby establishes a discretionary delayed draw line of credit in favor of the Maker (the “Line of Credit”) in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 (the “Maximum Amount”). The Maker may from time to time request advances and borrow funds periodically under the Line of Credit (each an “Advance” and collectively, the “Advances”) so long as both immediately prior and immediately after giving effect to any such Advance: (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances does not exceed the Maximum Amount and (ii) no Event of Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, any such requested Advance shall be made by the Payee in its sole discretion. The Maker may upon not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Payee (such notice, a “Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), prepay Advances from time to time until the Maturity Date (as defined below), subject to terms and conditions set forth in this Note. For the avoidance of doubt, Payee may return any prepayment made without the requisite prior notice to Maker, the effect of which will be as if such prepayment was not made. Once an Advance has been repaid, it may not be reborrowed.

 

2. Maturity, Repayment. The principal balance of this Note shall be payable by the Maker on the earlier to occur of: (i) the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Article 7 of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Share Acquisition Agreement, by and among Tiger Resort Asia Ltd., UE Resorts International, Inc. (formerly known as Okada Manila International, Inc.), Project Tiger Merger Sub, Inc., Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment, Inc. and the Maker, dated as of October 15, 2021, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) other than those conditions set forth in Article 7 of the Merger Agreement that by their nature cannot be satisfied other than at the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (such date, the “Pre-Closing Satisfaction Date”) and (ii) the date that the winding up of Maker is effective (such date, the “Wind-Up Date”; the earlier of the Pre-Closing Satisfaction Date and the Wind-Up Date, the “Maturity Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, no prior notice is required in respect of any payment on the Maturity Date. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder. If any amount payable hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or required to close.

 

 

 

 

3. Interest. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

4. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances under the Line of Credit shall be used by the Maker to pay fees and expenses and for other general corporate purposes.

 

5. Advances. The principal amount of each Advance, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances and all payments made to the Payee on account of such principal may be noted by the Payee on Schedule I attached hereto. The entries in Schedule I shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any error or omission by the Payee with regard to Schedule I shall not affect the obligation of the Maker to pay the full amount of Advances due under this Note.

 

6. Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorney’s fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

7. Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”):

 

(a) Failure to Make Required Payments. Failure by Maker to pay the principal amount due pursuant to this Note within five Business Days of the Maturity Date.

 

(b) Voluntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The commencement by Maker of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation or other similar law, or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of corporate action by Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

 

(c) Involuntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days.

(a) Subject to Section 18 hereof, but otherwise notwithstanding anything contained in this Note to the contrary, provided that Maker has not deposited, or caused to be deposited, irrevocably, an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of Advances outstanding under this Note to an account designated for the benefit of Payee, then upon the occurrence of the Pre-Closing Satisfaction Date, the unpaid principal amount of Advances under this Note shall convert into a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to (x) the portion of the principal amount of this Note being converted pursuant to this Section 17, divided by (y) $2.50, rounded up to the nearest whole number (the “Conversion Shares”; such conversion of the unpaid principal amount of Advances into Conversion Shares, the “Equity Conversion”); provided that in no event shall Payee be entitled to receive more than 2,000,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate on account of (i) the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of Advances under this Note into Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 17(a), (ii) the conversion contemplated by the Delayed Draw Promissory Note, dated as of January 15, 2023, issued by the Maker to the Payee, or (iii) the conversion of any other note or other equity issuance made after the date hereof in connection with the ongoing funding of Maker.
