All payments on this Note shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this note (the “Note”).

1.

Principal. The principal balance of this Note shall be payable by the Maker to the Payee upon the date on which the Maker consummates a business combination or merger with a qualified target company (as described in its Prospectus (as defined below)) (a “Business Combination”) or the date of expiry of the term of the Maker, whichever is earlier (such date, the “Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty. Under no circumstances 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.

2.

Conversion Rights.

(b)

Effect of Conversion. If the Maker timely receives notice of the Payee’s intention to convert this Note at least two business days prior to the closing of a Business Combination, this Note shall be deemed to be converted on such closing date. At its expense, the Maker will, upon receipt of such conversion notice, as soon as practicable after consummation of a Business Combination, issue and deliver to Payee, at Payee’s address as requested by Payee in its conversion notice, 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 Units as described herein.

3.

Interest. This Note does not carry any interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note, provided, that, any overdue amounts shall accrue default interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate which is the prevailing short term United States Treasury Bill rate, from the date on which such payment is due until the day on which all sums due are received by the Payee.

4.

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 but not limited to reasonable attorney’s and auditor’s fees and expenses, then to the payment in full of any late charges, and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

5.
