	 	  	New York, New York

 CF Acquisition Corp. VII, a Delaware corporation (“Maker”), hereby promises to pay to the
order of CFAC Holdings VII, LLC (“Payee”) or its registered assigns or successors in interest, the principal sum of up to Four Million Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($4,025,000.00) 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 or as otherwise determined by Maker to such account as Payee may from time to time designate by written notice
in accordance with the provisions of this Note. 
 1. Principal. The principal balance of this Note shall be payable by Maker
on the date (the “Maturity Date”) on which Maker consummates a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business
Combination”). The principal balance may not be prepaid, and is only payable upon consummation by Maker of the Business Combination. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee
or shareholder of Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of Maker hereunder. If a Business Combination is not consummated, this Note will be extinguished. 

2. Interest. No interest shall accrue or be charged by Payee on the unpaid principal balance of this Note. 

3. Drawdown Requests. Maker and Payee agree that Maker may request Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) to
fund the trust account established in connection with Maker’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”) to a value of $10.20 per public share sold in such initial public offering (the “Trust Account Funding
Level”), on the date of the consummation of such offering, solely for deposit into the Trust Account. The remaining undrawn principal of this Note may be drawn down on the date of the consummation of the underwriter’s over-allotment
option in connection with the IPO (which may be the date identified in the first sentence of this Section 3), solely for deposit into the Trust Account to ensure that the Trust Account Funding Level is maintained at $10.20 per share sold in
Maker’s initial public offering, in an amount proportionate to the exercise of such over-allotment option. Once an amount is drawn down under this Note, it shall not be available for future drawdown. No fees, payments or other amounts shall be
due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any payments under this Note. 
 4. Application of Payments; No Repayment.
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 and then to the payment in full of any late charges and
finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. In the event no Business Combination is consummated by Maker within the time prescribed in Maker’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended from time to
time, the principal balance hereunder held in the Trust Account, as well as any interest earned thereon, shall be distributed solely to Maker’s public stockholders upon Maker’s liquidation or dissolution. 

5. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default, but only following the date
of the consummation of a Business Combination and to the extent any amounts under this Note remain outstanding (“Event of Default”): 

(a) Failure to Make Required Payments. Failure by Maker to pay the principal amount due pursuant to this Note within
five (5) business days of the date specified above. 












 (b) 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. 
 (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 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) 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(b) or 5(c), 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. Waivers. Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of, and sureties for, this Note waive presentment for payment, demand, notice
of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest with regard to the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or
future laws exempting any property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or
extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, or any writ of execution issued hereon, may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order
desired by Payee. 
 8. 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 Maker’s liability hereunder. 

9. Notices. All notices, statements or other documents which are required or contemplated by this Note shall be made:
(i) in writing and delivered personally or sent by first class registered or certified mail, overnight courier service or facsimile or electronic transmission to the address designated in writing, (ii) by facsimile to the number most
recently provided to such party or such other address or fax number as may be designated in writing by such party or (iii) by electronic mail, to the electronic mail address most recently provided to such party or such other electronic mail

 11. Severability. Any provision
contained in this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

12. Trust Waiver. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Payee hereby waives any right, title, interest or claim of
any kind (“Claim”) in or to any distribution of or from the Trust Account, and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided,
however, that if Maker completes its Business Combination, Maker shall repay the principal balance of this Note, which may be out of the proceeds released to Maker from the Trust Account.
