	Principal Amount: $460,000	Dated as of November 10, 2020


 


AGBA Acquisition Limited,
a British Virgin Islands company (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of AGBA Holding Limited or its registered
assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”) the principal sum of Four Hundred and Sixty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($460,000)
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 principal balance of this Promissory Note (this “Note”) shall be payable promptly after the date on which
the Maker consummates an initial business combination (a “Business Combination”) with a target business (as described
in its initial public offering prospectus dated May 14, 2019 (the “Prospectus”)). In the event that a Business Combination
does not close prior to February 16, 2021 or as extended, this Note shall be deemed to be terminated and no amounts will thereafter be
due from Maker to Payee under the terms hereof. The principal balance may not be prepaid without the consent of the Payee.


 


		2.	Conversion
Rights. The Payee has the right, but not the obligation, to convert this Note, in whole or in part, into private units (the “Units”)
of the Maker, as described in the Prospectus, by providing the Maker with written notice of its intention to convert this note at least
one business day prior to the closing of a Business Combination. The number of Units to be received by the Payee in connection with such
conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to such Payee by (y) $10.00.


 


		(a)	Fractional
Shares. No fractional Units will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional Units to which Payee would otherwise
be entitled, Maker will pay to Payee in cash the amount of the unconverted principal balance of this note that would otherwise be converted
into such fractional share.


 


		(b)	Effect
of Conversion. If the Maker timely receives notice of the Payee’s intention to convert this note at least one business day
prior to the closing of a Business Combination, this Note shall be deemed to be converted on the date the Business Combination closes.
At its expense, the Maker will, as soon as practicable after receiving this Note for cancellation after the closing of a Business Combination
(assuming receipt of timely notice of conversion), issue and deliver to Payee, at Payee’s address set forth on the signature page
hereto or such other address requested by Payee, a certificate or certificates for the number of Units to which Payee is entitled upon
such conversion (bearing such legends as are customary pursuant to applicable state and federal securities laws), including a check payable
to Payee for any cash amounts payable as a result of any fractional shares as described herein.


 


		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”):


 


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


 


		(b)	Voluntary
Liquidation, Etc. The commencement by Maker of a proceeding relating to its bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation
or other similar action, or the consent by it to the appointment of, or taking possession by, a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) for 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 similar law, for the appointing of a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) for Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up
or liquidation of the affairs of Maker, 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) and 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, 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 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.
