“(i) Purchaser shall have received the Third Party Proceeds prior to or concurrently with the Closing.”

Such right may be exercised by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, giving written notice to the other at any time after the Outside Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be deemed to have been the cause of, and resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Closing Date should Amendment no. 5 to the Proxy Statement not be filed by August 26, 2022.”

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Global Consumer Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to an account designated in writing by CLP Luminex Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Holder”), in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds to such account, the principal amount of $[_______] pursuant to the terms set forth herein. This Note is delivered in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2021 (as amended by the certain First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2022 and that certain Second Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of August [__], 2022, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Maker, Luminex Home Décor & Fragrance Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the Holder.

1. Interest. The principal amount of this Note shall bear interest at a fixed rate of 12.00% per annum and shall be payable at the time the principal amount of this Note is due and payable. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year.

2. Upfront Fee. The Maker shall pay to the Holder an upfront free in an aggregate amount equal to $[____]² , which shall be due and paid-in-kind on the Issuance Date by adding and capitalizing the full amount of such fee to the outstanding principal amount of this Note.

The Maker shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, subject to the terms of Section 4(b). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that any payment is due on a date that is not a Business Day (as defined below), then the payment shall be due on the first Business Day following such date. For purposes of this Note, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day on which commercial banks are closed in New York City, New York.

NTD: Amount of note to equal the Estimated Purchase Price Shortfall.

NTD: To be 10% of the note amount.

NTD: To be 1 year from the Issuance Date.

Subordination.

(a) The Holder acknowledges and agrees that any and all obligations of the Maker under this Note to the Holder shall be subordinate in right of payment to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below), provided that all amounts payable under this Note shall be “permitted payments” under such Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of this Note, “Senior Indebtedness” means all indebtedness of, or guaranteed by, the Maker and the Company (together with any future subsidiaries of the Maker that become obligors in respect of the Senior Indebtedness, “Senior Credit Parties”), for money borrowed pursuant to [DESCRIBE CREDIT FACILITIES]⁴ including, without limitation, (i) all principal of and interest (including such interest as may accrue after the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings, without regard as to whether such interest is an allowed claim in such bankruptcy proceedings) on such indebtedness, (ii) all refinancings, renewals, replacements, extensions or other modifications thereof (provided the same do not create further restrictions on the ability of the Maker to pay amounts hereunder when due), and (iii) all premiums, fees and expenses owing by the Senior Credit Parties to a lender, holder, purchaser, agent, arranger, underwriter or similar person in respect of such indebtedness (each such person, a “Senior Lender”).

(b) If an event of default under any Senior Indebtedness has occurred and is continuing or would arise from the making of any payment under this Note, so long as such event of default continues, then the Maker shall not make, and the Holder shall not accept or retain from the Maker, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property, by set-off or in any other manner, payment of all or any part of the obligations evidenced by this Note. Upon any distribution to creditors of the Maker in a liquidation or dissolution of the Maker in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to such Maker or its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of the Maker’s assets and liabilities, (i) Senior Lenders are entitled to receive payment in full of all obligations due in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the agreements to which such Senior Indebtedness relates) before the Holder shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to this Note and (ii) until all Senior Indebtedness is indefeasibly paid in full in cash, any distribution to which the Holder would be entitled but for this Section 4(b) shall be made to holders entitled to the benefit of any Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear. Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be treated as indebtedness senior to the obligations of the Maker under this Note and the provisions of this Note shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holder even if all or part of the Senior Indebtedness or the security interests securing the Senior Indebtedness are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any such proceeding and the provisions hereof shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Indebtedness or any agent, designee or nominee of such holder.

(c) Except as provided in the last sentence of Section 4(b), so long as an event of default referred to in Section 4(b) is continuing and has not been cured or waived and all Senior Indebtedness has not been paid in full in cash and the termination of all commitments under the agreements related to all Senior Indebtedness have not been terminated, the Holder shall not take or continue any action, or exercise any rights, remedies or powers under the terms of this Note, or exercise or continue to exercise any other right or remedy at law or in equity that the Holder might otherwise possess, to collect any amount due and payable in respect of the obligations of the Maker under this Note, including, without limitation, the acceleration of the obligations under this Note, the commencement of any action to enforce payment or foreclosure on any lien or security interest, the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the taking advantage of any other insolvency law of any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing sentence, the Holder may file a proof of claim in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding and may vote such claim in a manner not inconsistent with the terms hereof, and the Holder may seek enforcement of payments that are not prohibited pursuant to the terms of Section 4(b). If the Holder shall attempt to enforce, collect or realize upon any of the obligations of the Maker under this Note in violation of the terms hereof, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, by virtue of the terms hereof, restrain any such enforcement, collection or realization, either in its own name or in the name of the Holder.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 4 is intended to or will impair, as between the Maker and the Holder, the Maker’s obligation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Holder all indebtedness evidenced by this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of creditors of the Holder other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

(e)

Each Senior Lender shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions set forth in this Section 4. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be modified, amended, supplemented or waived without the prior written consent of the Senior Lenders.

Default. The Maker shall be in default under this Note upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default (each, a “Default”):

(a)

the failure to pay any amount due on this Note when due;

(b) the Maker shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iii) be dissolved or liquidated or (iv) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief concerning itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it; or

(c) proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Maker or of all or a substantial part of the property thereof, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief concerning the Maker or the debts thereof under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within 60 days of commencement;

provided, however, that no Default under Section 4(a) shall occur if at the time such payment was prohibited by Section 3.

6. Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Holder may declare all liabilities and obligations of the Maker under this Note immediately due and payable (without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived) and, subject to Section 4, the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable without any further action on the part of the Holder.

7. Successors and Assigns. This Note shall bind the Maker and its successors and permitted assigns, and the benefits of this Note shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns. This Note, and the rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned or delegated (in whole or in part) by the Maker or the Holder without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, that, the Holder can assign or transfer this Note to any owner or owners of the Holder or any affiliate of such owner of the Holder without the consent of the Maker so long as such transferee agrees in a written agreement with the Maker to be bound by the terms of this Note, including Section 4. All references herein to the “Maker” and the “Holder” shall be deemed to apply to the Maker and the Holder, respectively, and to their respective successors and permitted assigns.

- 3 -

8. Interest Rate Limitation. Nothing contained in this Note or any transaction related to this Note shall be construed or so operate as to require the Maker to pay interest at a greater rate than is now lawful or in such case to contract for, or to make any payment, or to do any act contrary to applicable law. Should any interest or other charges paid by the Maker, or parties liable for the payment of this Note, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or any other document delivered in connection with this Note, result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the maximum legal rate of interest that is legally permitted under applicable law, then any and all such excess shall be, and the same hereby is, waived by the Holder, and any and all such excess shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the balance due under this Note, and the portion of said excess that exceeds the balance due under this Note shall be paid by the Holder to the Maker.

9. Cancellation. After all principal, accrued interest, fees, premium and all other amounts at any time owed on this Note have been paid in full, or otherwise deemed to be $0.00, this Note shall be promptly surrendered to the Maker for cancellation.

10. Amendment. The provisions of this Note may be modified, amended or supplemented, and the Maker and the Holder may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only by written agreement of the Maker and the Holder.

If any provision of this Note is in conflict with any statute or rule of law of the State of New York or is otherwise unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, then such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity and shall be deemed separable from and shall not invalidate any other provision of this Note.

12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

13. Counterparts. This Note may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

14. No Oral Agreements. Each of the Holder and the Maker acknowledges that neither it, nor any agent or attorney of any such party, has made any promise, representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, to the other party hereto not contained in this Note, to induce the Maker to execute this Note.

15. No Set Off. The Maker shall not be entitled to set off any claims it has, or may have, against the Holder, whether arising under the Purchase Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereunder, or otherwise, for or against any amounts owing to the Holder under the Note.
