    as of September 27, 2019


 


Gordon
Pointe Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of Gordon Pointe Management,
LLC or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), the principal sum of Four Hundred Ninety Thousand
Dollars ($490,000) 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.


 


The
purpose of this Note is to codify certain advances that Gordon Pointe Management, LLC, as the Sponsor of the Maker, committed
to provide to Maker to finance transaction costs in connection with the Maker’s initial merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”),
as described in the Maker’s quarterly and annual report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


 


This
Note is one in a series of Notes (collectively, the “Related Party Notes”) that may be issued from time to time by
Maker to Gordon Pointe Management, LLC or its affiliates evidencing loans to finance Maker’s working capital and/or transaction
costs in connection with a Business Combination.


 


1. Principal.
The principal balance of this Note shall be repayable on the consummation of the Maker’s initial Business Combination. Payee
understands that if a Business Combination is not consummated within the time period specified in the Maker’s amended and
restated certificate of incorporation, this Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed hereunder will be forgiven except to
the extent that the Maker has funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public
offering (“Trust Account”) after paying all other fees and expenses of the Maker incurred prior to the date of such
failure to so consummate a Business Combination which are due and payable.

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 outstanding under this Note at any time may not exceed Four Hundred Ten
Thousand Dollars ($410,000). 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.

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

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.

15. Conversion.


 


(a) At
the Payee’s option, at any time prior to payment in full of the principal balance of this Note, the Payee may elect to convert
all or any portion of this Note into that number of warrants (the “Conversion Warrants”) equal to: (i) the portion
of the principal amount of the Note being converted pursuant to this Section 15, divided by (ii) $1.00, rounded up to the nearest
whole number; provided, however, that the total amount of principal balance of this Note, together with any other Related Party
Notes issued by the Maker, that may be converted into Conversion Warrants shall not exceed $1,500,000 in the aggregate. Each Conversion
Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Maker’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share,
subject to adjustment. Each Conversion Warrant shall also have the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued by the Maker
pursuant to a private placement, as described in Maker’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (333-222270) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its initial public offering. The Conversion Warrants, the shares of common
stock underlying the Conversion Warrants and any other equity security of Maker issued or issuable with respect to the foregoing
by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, amalgamation, consolidation
or reorganization (the “Warrant Shares”), shall be entitled to the registration rights set forth in Section 16 hereof.

endorsed, to Maker or such other address which Maker shall designate against delivery of the Conversion Warrants, (iii) Maker
shall promptly deliver a new duly executed Note to the Payee in the principal amount that remains outstanding, if any, after any
such conversion and (iv) in exchange for all or any portion of the surrendered Note, Maker shall deliver to Payee the Conversion
Warrants, which shall bear such legends as are required, in the opinion of counsel to Maker or by any other agreement between
Maker and the Payee and applicable state and federal securities laws.


 


(c) The
Payee shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable with respect to any issue or delivery of the Conversion
Warrants upon conversion of this Note pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Payee shall not be obligated to pay any transfer
taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Payee in connection with any such conversion.


 


(d) The
Conversion Warrants shall not be issued upon conversion of this Note unless such issuance and such conversion comply with all
applicable provisions of law.


 


(e) Notwithstanding

with HOF Village Newco, LLC for a business combination. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined therein),
this Note will automatically convert into shares of common stock of GPAQ Acquisition Holdings, Inc. on the terms set forth in
