AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
| Principal Amount: $250,000.00 | July 24, 2019 |
Greenland Acquisition Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company with limited liability (“Maker”), promises to pay to the order of Greenland Asset Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company with limited liability, or its registered assigns or successors in interest or order (“Payee”), the principal sum of up to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below.
This Note amends and restates in its entirety all of the terms, conditions and provisions governing outstanding advances under that certain promissory note, dated as of April 29, 2019 (the “Original Note”) made by the Maker to the order of the Payee. The amendment and restatement of the Original Note by this Note shall not constitute a novation or termination of the obligations and covenants of the Maker under the Original Note, but shall constitute an amendment and restatement of the obligations and covenants of the Maker under the Original Note.
All payments on this Note (unless the full principal is converted pursuant to Section 15 below) shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.
| 1. | Repayment. The principal balance of this Note shall be payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which Maker consummates its initial business combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of Maker is effective (such date, the “Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of Maker. |
| 2. | Interest. This Note shall be non-interest bearing. |
| 3. | Drawdown Requests. Payee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may fund Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) for costs reasonably related to Maker’s consummation of an initial business combination. The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time until the date on which Maker consummates its initial business combination, upon written request from Maker to Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Each Drawdown Request must state the amount to be drawn down, and must be in multiples of not less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) unless agreed upon by Maker and Payee. Payee, in its sole discretion, shall fund each Drawdown Request no later than five (5) business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns collectively under this Note shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00). Once an amount is drawn down under this Note, it shall not be available for future Drawdown Requests even if prepaid. Except as set forth herein, no fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker. |
| 4. | Application of Payments. All payments received by Payee pursuant to this Note shall be applied first to the payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorney’s fees, and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. |
| 5. | Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”): |

(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.

Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee, and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to Maker or affecting Maker’s liability hereunder. |
