after the date on which Maker consummates and completes a business combination, as outlined in Maker’s final prospectus dated

any late charges and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.



		4.	Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”):

this Note to be due immediately and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and all other amounts payable
thereunder, 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.



 






     


     


    




		6.	Waivers. Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of, and sureties for, this Note waive presentment for payment, demand,

execution issued hereon, may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.

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,
