This Note is issued in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 9, 2023 by and between the Maker, the Payee and other parties thereto (the “Merger Agreement”). All capitalized terms used in this Note, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

The term “Note” and all references thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

 

1. Principal. Unless accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), the principal balance of this Note shall be payable by the Maker on the date (the “Due Date”) which is the earliest of (i) the date on which the Maker consummates its initial business combination (as described in the registration statement (file number 333-267742) and prospectus filed on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2022 by the Maker in connection with its initial public offering (the “Prospectus”)) with a target business (the “Business Combination”), (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, or (iii) August 15, 2024.
