Atlanta, Georgia


 Modern Media Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), promises to pay to
the order of Modern Media Sponsor, LLC or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), the principal sum of Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000) or such lesser amount as shall have been advanced by
Payee to Maker and shall remain unpaid under this Note on the Maturity Date (as defined below) 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 the Maker to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note. 

1. Principal. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Note shall be payable on the earlier of: (i) June 30, 2017 or (ii) the date on
which Maker consummates an initial public offering of its securities (the “IPO”) (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be prepaid without penalty at any time. Under no
circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder. 

2. Drawdown Requests. Maker and Payee agree that Maker may request, from time to time, up to Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000) in aggregate
draw downs under this Note to be used for costs and expenses related to the IPO. One Hundred Fifty Thousand ($150,000) of such amount shall be advanced on the date hereof (the “Initial Advance”), and the remaining principal amount
of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date upon written request from Maker to Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Each Drawdown Request must state the amount to be drawn down, and must not be an
amount less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request no later than three (3) business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns to be made under this
Note (including the Initial Advance) may not exceed Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000). No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker. 

3. Interest. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note. 

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 (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. 

5. Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Note: 

(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 Maturity Date.

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.

payment; and 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 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
