Principal Amount: Up to $1,500,000 | New York, New York |
Integral Acquisition Corporation 1, a Delaware corporation (the Maker), promises to pay to the order of Integral Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the Payee), the principal sum of up to One Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,500,000), in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. All payments on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim, to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.
1. Maturity. The principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable by the Maker upon the closing of a Repayment/Conversion Trigger Event, as such term is defined below (the Maturity Date). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty upon written notice by the Maker to the Payee.
(a) Each of the following shall constitute a Repayment/Conversion Trigger Event:
(i) | the closing of a merger, consolidation, or other business combination pursuant to which the Maker acquires an entity for its initial business combination (a DeSPAC Transaction); or |
(ii) | subject to the terms below, the liquidation of the Maker on or before November 3, 2023, or such later liquidation date as may be approved by Makers stockholders (a Liquidation), that occurs while the Note is outstanding or any time thereafter prior to the repayment of the Note. |
Except as provided in Section 16 below, under no circumstances whatsoever shall any individual, including, but not limited to, any officer, director, employee, or stockholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.
(b) Form of Repayment. In the event of a Liquidation, all amounts due under this Note shall be repaid in cash. In the event of a DeSPAC Transaction, the Note may be repaid, at the Payees discretion, (i) in cash or (ii) in Conversion Warrants (as defined below) pursuant to Section 16 herein. Absent reasonable prior written notice by Payee to convert any amounts due under this Note into Conversion Warrants pursuant to Section 16 herein, the Note shall become due and payable in cash at closing of such DeSPAC Transaction.
2. Interest. No interest shall accrue or be charged by Payee on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.
3. 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 attorneys fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges, and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.
4. Drawdown Requests. The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, upon written request from the Maker to Payee (each, a Drawdown Request), and shall be subject to the approval of the Drawdown Request by Payee in its sole discretion. Each Drawdown Request must state the amount to be drawn down, the use of proceeds for such Drawdown Request and must not be an amount less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars ($10,000) unless agreed upon by Maker and Payee. If Payee agrees to fund a Drawdown Request, Payee shall fund such 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 is One Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,500,000). Once an amount is drawn down under this Note, it shall not be available for future Drawdown Request even if prepaid. No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker.
5. Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (Event of Default):

(b) | Breach of Use of Proceeds. Failure by Maker to comply with the provisions of Section 4 of this Note. |
(c) | 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. |
(d) | Involuntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having competent jurisdiction 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. |
6. Remedies.
(a) | Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) hereof, Payee may, by written notice to Maker, declare this Note to be due immediately and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and all other amounts payable hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the documents evidencing the same to the contrary notwithstanding. |
(b) | Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 5(c) and 5(d), the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and all other sums payable with regard to this Note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action on the part of Payee. |
7. Enforcement Costs. In case any principal of this Note is not paid when due, including (without limitation) by way of the issuance of Conversion Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Note, Maker shall be liable for all costs of enforcement and collection of this Note incurred by the Payee and any other Holders, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses.

9. Unconditional Liability. 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 Makers liability hereunder. Any failure of the Payee to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at any time and from time to time thereafter.
