and notice of protest with regard to the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by the Payee under
the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to the 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 the Maker agrees that any
real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on any writ of execution issued hereon, may be sold

to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by the 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 the Maker or affecting the Maker’s liability hereunder.

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.


 


11. Trust Waiver.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Payee hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
in or to any distribution of or from the trust account established in which the proceeds of the IPO conducted by the Maker (including
the deferred underwriters discounts and commissions) and certain proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were deposited,
as described in greater detail in the registration statement and prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in
connection with the IPO on December 14, 2020, and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim

13. Successors and Assigns.
Subject to the restrictions on transfer in Sections 14 and 15 below, the rights and obligations of the Maker and the Payee hereunder shall
be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of any party hereto (by operation of law or
otherwise) with the prior written consent of the other party hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be
void.


 


14. Transfer of this
Note. With respect to any sale or other disposition of this Note, the Payee shall give written notice to the Maker prior thereto,
describing briefly the manner thereof, together with (i) except for a Permitted Transfer, in which case the requirements in this clause
(i) shall not apply, a written opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Maker in form and substance from counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Maker to the effect that such sale or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification under any federal
or state law then in effect and (ii) a written undertaking executed by the desired transferee reasonably satisfactory to the Maker in
form and substance agreeing to be bound by the restrictions on transfer contained herein. Upon receiving such written notice, reasonably
satisfactory opinion, or other evidence, and such written acknowledgement, the Maker, as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Payee
that the Payee may sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance with the terms of the note delivered to
the Maker. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 14 that the opinion of counsel for the Payee, or other evidence,
or the written acknowledgment from the desired transferee, is not reasonably satisfactory to the Maker, the Maker shall so notify the
Payee promptly after such determination has been made. Each Note thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions
on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Maker such legend is
not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. The Maker may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent
in connection with such restrictions. Subject to the foregoing, transfers of this Note shall be registered upon registration on the books
maintained for such purpose by or on behalf of the Maker. Prior to presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Maker shall
treat the registered holder hereof as the owner and holder of this Note for the purpose of receiving all payments of the Principal Amount
hereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note shall be overdue and the Maker shall not be affected by notice
to the contrary. For purposes hereof “Permitted Transfer” shall have the same meaning as any transfer that would be
permitted for the Private Placement Warrants pursuant to Section 7(c) of that certain Letter Agreement, dated December 10, 2020, among
the Maker, the Payee and the other parties thereto.


 


15. Acknowledgment.
The Payee is acquiring this Note for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale
in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Payee understands that the acquisition of this Note involves substantial risk. The Payee
has experience as an investor in securities of companies and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk
of its investment in this Note, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of this investment in this Note and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment.
