In the event that a Business Combination does not close prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) due to reasons not attributable to the Maker or the Merger Agreement is terminated mutually by the parties to the Merger Agreement, this Note shall be deemed to be terminated and no amounts will thereafter be due from the Maker to the Payee under the terms hereof. |

(a) Fractional Shares. No fractional Units will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional Units to which Payee would otherwise be entitled, Maker will pay to Payee in cash the amount of the unconverted principal balance of this note that would otherwise be converted into such fractional share.
(b) Effect of Conversion. If the Maker timely receives notice of the Payee’s intention to convert this note at least five (5) business days prior to the closing of a Business Combination, this Note shall be deemed to be converted on the date the Business Combination closes. At its expense, the Maker will, as soon as practicable after receiving this Note for cancellation after the closing of a Business Combination (assuming receipt of timely notice of conversion), issue and deliver to Payee, at Payee’s address set forth on the signature page hereto or such other address requested by Payee, a certificate or certificates for the number of Units to which Payee is entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as are customary pursuant to applicable state and federal securities laws), including a check payable to Payee for any cash amounts payable as a result of any fractional shares as described herein.
| 3. | Use of Proceeds. Maker shall use the proceeds received under this Note to extend the time available for the Maker to consummate a Business Combination. The proceeds received under this Note must be deposited into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) described in the Prospectus. |
| 4. | Interest. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note. |
| 5. | 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. |

| (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 similar law, for the appointing of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) for Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of Maker, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days. |
