                                            own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not as an "underwriter" within the
                                            meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act or otherwise with a view to or in connection

                                            Share.

 

		(d)	Investment Status. Such Investor
                                            is (i) not a “U.S. person” within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities
                                            Act and is acquiring the Note in an offshore transaction under Rule 903 of Regulation S under
                                            the Securities Act and (ii) aware that the sale of the Note and the Conversion Shares being
                                            issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is being made in reliance on an exemption from
                                            registration under the Securities Act.

 

    17

     

    

 

		(e)	Restricted Securities. Such
                                            Investor understands that the Note and the Conversion Shares have not been, and, except as
                                            may be required pursuant to clause 9.4 hereof, will not be, registered under the Securities
                                            Act. Such Investor further understands that the Note are and the Conversion Shares will be
                                            “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal securities laws that are
                                            subject to transfer restrictions under such laws. Such Investor acknowledges that the Issuer
                                            has no obligation to register or qualify the Note or the Conversion Shares (other than registration
                                            rights attached to such Conversion Shares, if any), as the case may be, for resale. Such
                                            Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is
                                            available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the
                                            time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Note or the Conversion Shares, and on
                                            requirements relating to the Issuer which are outside of such Investor’s control, and
                                            which the Issuer is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

 

		(f)	No Public Market. Such Investor
                                            understands that no public market now exists for the Note or the Conversion Shares, and that
                                            the Issuer has made no assurances that there will ever be a public market for the Note or
                                            the Conversion Shares.

 

		6.	RESTRICTIONS ON
                                            DISPOSITION

 

		6.1	Without the prior written consent of the Board,
                                            no Investor may assign or transfer this Agreement or any Note, or any of its rights, interests
                                            or obligations hereunder or thereunder, in whole or in part, to any person, provided that
                                            if the transferee is an Affiliate of an Investor, no consent is required insofar as such
                                            Affiliate satisfies the know-your-customer requirements as may be reasonably requested by
                                            the Issuer.

 

		6.2	In connection with a Listing through an IPO,
                                            the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to determine whether a separate lock-up undertaking
                                            is necessary in respect of the Conversion Shares. If lock-up is required and the Investors
                                            are able to obtain internal approvals to enter into the lock-up arrangement, such Investor
                                            agrees to execute a separate lock-up undertaking in favor of the Issuer in respect of the
                                            Conversion Shares held by it for a period of no more than six (6) months, which undertaking
                                            shall be consistent with the lock-up undertakings agreed and given by all other applicable
                                            shareholders of the Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer shall not require any
                                            Investor to enter into any lock-up arrangement in connection with a De-SPAC Transaction.

 

		7.	USE OF PROCEEDS

 

		7.1	The Issuer shall use the proceeds from the
                                            subscription of the Notes only for working capital requirements and other general corporate
                                            purposes (including but not limited to business expansion, new product development, talent
                                            acquisition, operating expenses, investments and mergers and acquisitions, and fees and expenses
                                            in connection with the issuance of the Notes), and ensure that such use of the proceeds will
                                            not contravene any applicable Laws.

 

    18

     

    

 

 

		7.2	No Investor is not bound to monitor or verify
                                            the application of any proceeds raised by the Issuer from the Notes.

 

		8.	EXPENSES

 

Each Party shall
bear its own costs and expenses in connection with (i) the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents,
(ii) its performance under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (iii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, including all fees and expenses of such Party’s agents, representatives, financial and legal advisors and accountants;
provided, however, that in the event the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Issuer shall, within ten (10) Business

or on behalf of any Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

		9.	COVENANTS

 

		9.1	If the Issuer carries out a non-U.S. IPO and
                                            the Issuer or any Investor believes any provision under any of the Transaction Documents
                                            contravenes the listing rules of the applicable Approved Exchange or related regulations
                                            or guidance materials (such provision, the “Contravening Provision”),
                                            the Parties hereby agree to negotiate in good faith to execute amendments to this Agreement
                                            and any other Transaction Documents so as to comply with such listing rules or related regulations
                                            or guidance materials. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Investors of its intention to
                                            carry out a non-U.S. IPO and the Investors and the Issuer shall negotiate in good faith for
                                            a period of not more than 90 days (or such longer period as all Investors may agree) following
                                            such notification by the Issuer to agree on the amendments required to ensure compliance
                                            of the Transaction Documents with the applicable Contravening Provisions while preserving
                                            the economics of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

		9.2	If any Investor elects to convert the Note
                                            into Conversion Shares, the Issuer shall have duly authorized and validly reserved for issuance
                                            such number of Conversion Shares as shall be sufficient to effect the conversion of such
                                            Investor’s Note.

 

		9.3	If no Listing is consummated on or prior to
                                            the Put Right Triggering Date, and any Investor exercises the Put Right and elects to convert
                                            the Note in full into Series B Preferred Shares, the Issuer and such Investor shall take
                                            all necessary and appropriate actions and execute all relevant documents so that such Investor
                                            will, upon converting the Notes into Series B Preferred Shares, become a party to the Investors
                                            Rights Agreement as an “Investor” and a “Series B Investor” as if
                                            it were an original party thereto. As a condition precedent to the conversion, such Investor
                                            shall sign a deed of adherence to become a party to the Investors Rights Agreement in the
                                            capacity as an investor, such deed of adherence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
                                            to the Issuer.

 

		9.4	To the extent any Investor converts the Note
                                            following a Listing in the U.S., the Issuer shall ensure that such Investor shall be entitled
                                            to the rights set out in Schedule 4 with respect the Conversion Shares (to the extent that
                                            they constitute ordinary shares in the share capital of the Issuer) to require the Issuer
                                            to register them in connection with any listing in the U.S. For the avoidance of doubt, the
                                            registration rights will not be subject to any shareholding threshold requirements on the
                                            investor.

 

    19

     

    

 

		9.5	The Issuer agrees to take commercially reasonable
                                            efforts to remove the restrictive legend on the Investor’s Conversion Shares, when
                                            transfer of such securities is permitted pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration
                                            statement.

 

		9.6	If any Investor elects to convert the Note
                                            pursuant to the terms and conditions thereunder, the Issuer agrees to notify the other Investor
                                            promptly after the Issuer’s receipt of the Conversion Notice or the Put Right Exercise
                                            Notice, as applicable, from such electing Investor.

 

		9.7	The Issuer shall promptly obtain, comply with
                                            and do all that is necessary to maintain in force and effect all required approval, authorization
                                            and consent to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to ensure the legality, validity,

                                            under the Transaction Documents, provided that this limit on liability shall not apply to
                                            any other payment obligation of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents or the Issuer’s

                                            and the Investors;

                                            by the Issuer and the Investors); provided, however, that such right to terminate this Agreement
                                            under this clause 12.1(b) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any
                                            obligation under this Agreement shall have been the principal cause of, or shall have resulted

                                            or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and
                                            such order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable.

 

		12.2	If this Agreement is terminated pursuant
                                            to clause 12.1, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect
                                            on the part of the Issuer and such Investor, except that the Surviving Provisions shall remain
                                            in full force and effect; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability
                                            for any breach of this Agreement that occurred prior to such termination.

                                            all action, to do or cause to be done, to execute such further instruments, and to assist
                                            and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable
                                            under applicable laws or otherwise to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious
                                            manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction
                                            Documents and, to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, to enforce rights and
                                            obligations pursuant hereto or thereto.

 

		14.2	No Third Party Rights. Except to the
                                            extent otherwise set out herein, the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Chapter
                                            623, Laws of Hong Kong) (the “Third Party Rights Ordinance”) shall not
                                            apply to this Agreement, and no person other than the Parties to this Agreement shall have
                                            any right under the Third Party Rights Ordinance to enforce, or enjoy the benefit of, any
                                            of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

		14.3	Rights Cumulative; Specific Performance.
                                            Each and all of the various rights, powers and remedies of a Party will be considered to
                                            be cumulative with and in addition to any other rights, powers and remedies that such Party
                                            may have at law or in equity in the event of the breach of any of the terms of this Agreement.
                                            The exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy will neither constitute the
                                            exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right, power or remedy available to
                                            such party. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree irreparable
                                            harm may occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that
                                            any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific
                                            terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, notwithstanding anything
                                            in this Agreement to the contrary, any Party shall be entitled to injunction to prevent breaches
                                            of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

		14.4	Severability. In case any provision
                                            of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
                                            enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
                                            If, however, any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under
                                            any applicable law in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified

ARTICLE II

INTEREST; PAYMENTS; EVENTS of DEFAULT

 

2.1            Interest.
The Principal Amount shall bear interest at a simple interest rate of 5% per annum until and including the Maturity Date or such earlier
time as the Principal Amount becomes due and payable hereunder, whether through redemption or otherwise. Interest on the Note shall accrue
daily from (and excluding) the Issue Date. Interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Accrued
interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year (in case of a leap year).

 

2.2            Payment.
All amounts payable on or in respect of the Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be paid to the Holder in U.S. dollars, in
immediately available funds on the date that any such amount is due and payable hereunder. The Company shall make such payments to the
Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder as the Holder may designate from time to time, provided
that any such designation (or change of designation) must be notified in writing to the Company at least three (3) Business Days
prior to relevant payment date. If any such payment date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required
payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay.

 

2.3            Default
Interest. In the event of non-payment by the Company of any of the amounts in respect of the Note when due, or expressed to be due,
including for the avoidance of doubt the principal amount, accrued interest and the Redemption Price, default interest shall accrue on
the overdue but unpaid amount under the Note for the period from the due date to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment)
at an interest rate of three percent (3%) per annum higher than the interest rate or (as the case may be) the Internal Rate of Return
(to be computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year (in case of a leap year)) and shall be payable on demand by the Holder
free and clear of and without set-off or deduction for taxes or otherwise.

 

2.4            Seniority.
The Note constitutes a direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness of the Company, and shall at all times rank pari
passu with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Company. The Note ranks senior in right of payment
to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Note, equal in right of payment
to any of the Company’s present and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company that are not so subordinated, and
junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such
indebtedness and structurally junior to all future indebtedness incurred by the Company’s Subsidiaries and their other liabilities
(including trade payables) and save for obligations that are preferred by provisions of Law that are mandatory and of general application.

 

2.5            Covenants.
The Company agrees to be bound by the covenants set out in this Section 2.5 during the period beginning on the Issue Date
and ending on the date on which all present and future obligations and liabilities (whether actual or contingent and whether owed in
any other capacity whatsoever) of the Company to the Holder under the Note have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged
in full or (if earlier) the date that the Note has been fully converted into Conversion Shares:

 

(a)            Authorizations.
The Company shall promptly obtain, comply with and do all that is necessary to maintain in force and effect all required approval, authorization
and consent to perform its obligations under the Note and to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence
of the Note.

 

    7

     

    

 

(b)            Compliance
with Laws. The Company shall comply in all respects with all applicable Laws to which it or its assets may be subject, if failure
so to comply would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under the Note.

 

(c)            Preservation
of assets. The Company shall (and shall procure that each Group member will) maintain and preserve all of its material assets (including,
but not limited to, any real property and intellectual property) that are necessary for the conduct of its business where failure to
do so would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d)            Liabilities.
The Company shall not (and shall procure that no Group Company will) incur or allow to subsist any indebtedness, obligation or liability
(whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due) for money borrowed in an aggregate amount exceeding
US$500,000,000 (the “Permitted Indebtedness Cap”); provided, that the Company and the Holder may negotiate in good
faith to make adjustments to the Permitted Indebtedness Cap if the Debt to Asset Ratio does not exceed 90 per cent.

 

(e)            Negative
pledge. Without obtaining the prior written consent from the Holder, the Company shall not (and shall procure that no member of the
Group will) create or permit to subsist or arise any encumbrance upon the whole or any part of its present or future assets or revenues
to secure any Relevant Indebtedness.

 

(f)            Material
Contracts. The Company shall (and shall procure that each Group Company will) perform its obligations under each Material Contract
(as defined under the Note Purchase Agreement) except where the failure to perform would not be material to the business of the Group,
taken as a whole and take all actions as the Company or such Group Company deems reasonable and appropriate (acting in good faith and
in the best interests of the Company or such Group Company) to ensure that each counterparty to each Material Contract (as defined under
the Note Purchase Agreement) will perform its material obligations under such contract.

 

(g)            Insurance.
The Company shall (and shall procure that each Group Company will) maintain insurances on and in relation to its business and assets
with reputable underwriters or insurance companies which the Company deems appropriate (including, but not limited to, directors and
employees liability insurance for all its directors).

 

(h)            Taxation.
The Company shall (and shall procure that each Group Company will) duly and punctually pay and discharge all Taxes imposed upon it or
its assets within the time period allowed without incurring penalties except (i) for Taxes which are being contested in good faith
or which are of a de minimis value, (ii) for Taxes for which reserves have been established in its consolidated financial statements,
and (iii) where failure to pay Taxes would not or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(i)            Related
party transactions. The Company shall not (and shall procure that no Group Company will) enter into any transaction with any Related
Party on terms that are less favorable to the Company or such Group Company than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length
transaction with a person that is not a Related Party, other than such less favorable terms that are required by such Related Party from
all of its counterparties.

 

    8

information regarding the financial condition, business and operations of the Group as reasonably requested by the Holder from time to
time in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including information reasonably required by the Holder
for the purpose of post-transaction management); provided, in each case, that no such information shall be provided to the extent such
information constitutes “material non-public information” as reasonably determined by the Company.

 

(k)            Certification
of No Event of Default. The Company shall notify the Holder of any Event of Default (and the steps, if any, being taken to remedy
it) within ten (10) Business Days of becoming aware of its occurrence. Promptly upon a request by the Holder, the Company shall
supply to the Holder a certificate signed by a director on its behalf certifying that no Event of Default is continuing (or if an Event
of Default is continuing, specifying the Event of Default and the steps, if any, being taken to remedy it).

on any Sanctions List that violate any applicable Sanctions.

 

(m)            Anti-Money
Laundering and Anti-Corruption Laws. (i) The Company shall not (and the Company shall ensure that no Group Company will) directly
or indirectly use the proceeds of the Note for any purpose which would breach any applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws. (ii) The
Company shall (and the Company shall ensure that each Group Company will): (A) comply with, and take measures to ensure that each
of its or their officers, directors, and employees will comply with, all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws; and (B) maintain policies
and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws.

information relating to the Notes to the NDRC in accordance with the NDRC Circular 2044 (the “Information Reporting”).

shall be specified in the Information Reporting.

 

2.6            The
Company hereby confirms and agrees that if it issues any other debt security (whether convertible or exchangeable or otherwise) after
the Issue Date (the “New Securities”) and such New Security contains any provision that is more favorable to an Holder
of the New Securities than those provisions provided to the Holder under the Transaction Documents (including, but not limited to, terms
relating to the interest rate and default interest rate, internal rate of return, conversion price, guarantees or collateral arrangement)
(the “Additional Rights”), then (a) the Company shall notify the Holder of the terms of such New Securities and
the Additional Rights no later than five (5) Business Days after the issue of such New Securities and (b) if required by the
Holder, enter into a supplemental agreement to the Transaction Documents to confer on the Holder the same Additional Rights no later
than ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as the Holder may agree) after the written request of the Holder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 2.6 shall not apply to any New Securities that are issued (i) with an investment term that
is longer than three years and (ii) with a total investment amount (which, in the case where there are multiple investors, refers
to the total investment amount made by such multiple investors under a single purchase agreement or multiple purchase agreements using

    9

     

    

 

2.7            Events
of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute the occurrence of an “Event of Default”, whatever
the reason or cause for such event and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority or otherwise:

 

(a)            Failure
to Pay. (i) The Company defaults in the payment of the Maturity Redemption Price when due and payable on the Maturity Date;
(ii) the Company defaults in the payment of interest when any such interest payment becomes due and payable and the default continues

Redemption Price) hereunder when due and payable and the default continues for a period of no fewer than ten (10) Business Days,
in each case in accordance with the terms hereof;

Any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Note Purchase Agreement is or proves to have been incorrect or misleading in
any material respect when made, unless the circumstances giving rise to such incorrect or misleading representation or warranty are capable
of remedy and are remedied (including by the provision of updated information) within 30 days of the earlier of (i) the Holder giving
notice to the Company and (ii) the Company becoming aware of such representation or warranty being incorrect or misleading. For
the avoidance of doubt, if any Event of Default under this Section 2.7(e) occurs and the Holder elects to require the

payable by the Company for any Indemnifiable Liabilities (as defined under the Note Purchase Agreement) incurred by such Holder, if any;

in a total amount, either individually or when aggregated with any such default by any other Group Company, in excess of US$40,000,000
(or an equivalent amount in any other currency), whether such indebtedness, indemnity or guarantee obligations now exists or shall hereafter
be created (A) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable or (B) constituting a failure to pay
the principal or interest of any such indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration
of acceleration or otherwise and such declaration of acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such failure to pay shall
not have been cured or waived or such indebtedness shall not have been repaid, as the case may be, within twenty (20) days after written
notice from the Holder;

 

    10

     

    

 

(e)            Bankruptcy.
The Company or the Material Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary proceeding seeking liquidation, winding-up, reorganization or other
relief with respect to the Company or the Material Subsidiary or its debts under any bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency or other similar
Law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of
the Company or the Material Subsidiary or all or substantially all of its property, or consents to any such relief or to the appointment

benefit of creditors, or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due;

 

(f)            Involuntary
Proceedings. An involuntary proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or the Material Subsidiary seeking liquidation, winding-up,

ARTICLE III

 

CONVERSIONs

 

3.1            Conversion
Right. In the event the Company consummates a Listing on or prior to the Maturity Date, subject to and upon compliance with the provisions
of this Article III, the Holder shall have the right from time to time, at the Holder’s option, to convert all or any
portion of the Note (plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) to such number of fully paid and non-assessable Class A ordinary
shares or ordinary shares of the Company (as applicable), as is equal to the quotient of (x) the outstanding Principal Amount of
such Note (plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) divided by (y) the then effective Conversion Price, at any time during
the Conversion Period by delivering a duly completed irrevocable written notice to the Company (the “Conversion Notice”);
provided, however, that:

 

(a)            in
the event the Holder elects to convert a portion of but not all of the Note, for each conversion, the number of Conversion Shares the
Holder is entitled to receive shall be no less than 20% of the total number of Conversion Shares that would be issuable to such Holder
if the Note were converted in full in accordance with this Section 3.1; and

 

(b)            the
Holder can only exercise its conversion right under this Section 3.1 no more than four times during any twelve- (12) month
rolling period following the Issue Date.

 

3.2            Conversion
Price. Subject to adjustments set forth in Article IV, the initial conversion price (as so adjusted, the “Conversion
Price”) shall be equal to: (a) US$11.50, if such Listing is through a De-SPAC Transaction; (b) the per share offering
price in the Listing multiplied by 115%, if such Listing is through a U.S. IPO; or (c) (x) the per share offering price in
the Listing multiplied by 115%, or (y) such other price as may be further agreed between the Company and the Holder solely for the
purpose of complying with the listing rules of the applicable Approved Exchange or related regulations or guidance materials (including
but not limited to Guidance Letters issued by Hong Kong Stock Exchange), if such Listing is through a non-U.S. IPO, provided that the
Pre-money Valuation of the Company shall remain unchanged.

 

3.3            Put
Right. If the Company fails to consummate a Listing by way of a De-SPAC Transaction or a U.S. IPO on or prior to the date that is
twelve (12) months following the Issue Date (the “Put Right Triggering Date”), the Holder shall have the right (the
“Put Right”) to elect to (a) have the Company repay the Note in full (including any accrued but unpaid interest
thereon) or (b) convert the Note in full into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Series B Preferred Shares, as is
equal to the quotient of (x) the then outstanding Principal Amount of the Note (plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) divided
by (y) a conversion price equal to US$11.57, subject to adjustments set forth in Article IV (as so adjusted, the “Put
Right Conversion Price”), upon delivery of a written notice by the Holder to the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the “Put Right Exercise Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the Put Right Triggering Date. For the avoidance
of doubt, if the Holder fails to deliver a written notice to the Company in the manner required by this Section 3.3, the
Holder shall be deemed to have forfeited the Put Right and the Note shall remain outstanding pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

3.4            Conversion
Procedure; Effect of Conversion.

 

(a)            Subject
to Section 3.4(b), this Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date
(the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has delivered the Conversion Notice or the Put Right Exercise Notice electing
to convert, as applicable, and the Note for cancellation to the Company. The Company shall promptly and in any event, within fifteen
(15) Business Day after the delivery of the Note and the Conversion Notice or the Put Right Exercise Notice, as applicable, to the Company
(i) take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effect the issuance of the full number of the Conversion Shares to which
the Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of any conversion pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.3, (ii) deliver
to the Holder certificate(s) representing the number of the Conversion Shares delivered upon each such conversion (bearing such
legends, if any, required by the Company), (iii) deliver to the Holder a certified copy of the register of members of the Company,
reflecting the Holder’s ownership of the Conversion Shares delivered upon each such conversion, and (iv) subject to Section 3.4(b),
cancel the Note. No Conversion Notice may be delivered and the Note may not be surrendered by a Holder for conversion thereof if the
Holder has also delivered a Redemption Notice to the Company in respect of the Note and not validly withdrawn such Redemption Notice
in accordance with Article V.

 

    12

     

    

 

(b)            In
the event the Holder surrenders this Note pursuant to Section 3.4(a) for partial conversion, the Company shall, in addition
to cancelling the Note upon such surrender, execute and deliver to the Holder a new note denominated in U.S. dollars and in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the Holder.

 

(c)            The
Holder in whose name the certificate for any Conversion Shares delivered upon conversion is registered shall be treated as a holder of
record of such Conversion Shares as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date. Upon a conversion of the entire outstanding
amount of the Note, the Holder shall no longer be a holder of the Note surrendered for conversion.

 

(d)            The
Company shall not issue any fractional shares upon conversion of the Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the
Holder upon the conversion of the Note, the number of Conversion Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

 

(e)            The
Company’s settlement of each conversion pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation
to pay the Principal Amount converted and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. As a result, such accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

CONVERSION
PRICE ADJUSTMENTS

 

4.1            Anti-Dilution
Adjustments. The Conversion Price and the Put Right Conversion Price, as applicable, and the number and type of securities to be
received upon conversion of the Note, shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

 

(a)            Consolidation,
Subdivision or Reclassification

 

If and whenever there shall be an alteration
to the nominal value of the Company Shares (or any class of them) as a result of consolidation, subdivision or re-classification, the
Conversion Price or Put Right Conversion Price (as applicable) shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price or Put Right Conversion
Price (as applicable), in force immediately before such alteration by the following fraction:

 

 

    13

     

    

 

where:

 

		A	is the nominal amount of one Company Share
                                            which is altered immediately after such alteration; and

 

		B	is the nominal amount of such Company Share
                                            immediately before such alteration.

 

Such adjustment shall become effective
on the date that such alteration takes effect.

 

(b)            Capitalization
of Profits or Reserves

 

		(A)	If and whenever the Company shall issue
                                            any Company Shares credited as fully paid to its shareholders by way of capitalization of
                                            profits or reserves (including any share premium account) (except where the Company Shares
                                            are issued as Scrip Dividend) and which would not have constituted a Capital Distribution,
                                            the Conversion Price or Put Right Conversion Price (as applicable), shall be adjusted by
                                            multiplying the Conversion Price or Put Right Conversion Price (as applicable), in force
                                            immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

 

 

where:

 

		A	is the aggregate nominal amount of the
                                            issued Company Shares immediately before such issue; and

 

		B	is the aggregate nominal amount of the
                                            issued Company Shares immediately after such issue.

 

Such adjustment shall become effective
on the date of issue of such Company Shares or if a record date is fixed therefor, immediately after such record date.

 

		(B)	In the case of an issue of Company Shares
                                            by way of a Scrip Dividend where the Current Market Price of such Company Shares on the date
                                            of announcement of the terms of such issue multiplied by the number of Company Shares issued
                                            exceeds 100% of the amount of the Relevant Cash Dividend and which would not have constituted
                                            a Capital Distribution, the Conversion Price or Put Right Conversion Price (as applicable),
                                            shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price or Put Right Conversion Price (as applicable),

(as applicable), in force immediately before such Capital Distribution by the following fraction:

 

 

where:

 

		A	is the Current Market Price of one Company
                                            Share on the date on which the Capital Distribution is announced to the shareholders of the

Company Shares to all or substantially all shareholders of the Company as a class by way of rights, or issue or grant to all or substantially
all shareholders of the Company as a class, by way of rights, options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Company
Shares, in each case at less than 95 per cent. of the Current Market Price per Company Share on the date of announcement of the terms
of the issue or grant, the Conversion Price or Put Right Conversion Price (as applicable) shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion

where:

 

		A	is the number of Company Shares in issue immediately before
such announcement;

(g)            Other
Events

 

If
the Company determines that an adjustment should be made to the Conversion Price or (as the case may be) the Put Right Conversion Price
as a result of one or more events or circumstances not referred to in paragraphs (a) to (f) above, the Company shall,
at its own expense and acting reasonably, request an Independent Investment Bank to determine as soon as practicable what adjustment
(if any) to the Conversion Price or (as the case may be) the Put Right Conversion Price as is fair and reasonable to take account thereof,
if the adjustment would result in a reduction in the Conversion Price or (as the case may be) the Put Right Conversion Price, and the
date on which such adjustment should take effect and upon such determination by the Independent Investment Bank such adjustment (if any)
shall be made and shall take effect in accordance with such determination, provided that an adjustment shall only be made pursuant to

                                            on conversion of the Note, Conversion Shares would fall to be issued at a discount
                                            to their nominal value or would require Conversion Shares to be issued in any other circumstances

		(xii)	The Holder shall be under no duty to
                                            monitor whether any event or circumstance has happened or exists which may require an adjustment
                                            to be made to the Conversion Price or Put Right Conversion Price (as applicable), as applicable,

4.2            Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. Upon conversion of the Note pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.3, the
Company shall have duly authorized and validly reserved for issuance such number of Conversion Shares as shall be sufficient to effect
the conversion of all the then outstanding Principal Amount of the Note at the relevant Conversion Price or Put Right Conversion Price
(as applicable).

charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or within any jurisdiction in which the Company or any successor to the Company is, for
tax purposes, organized or resident or doing business or through which payment is made or deemed made (or any political subdivision or

having the force of law.

6.9            Specific
Performance. The Company acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the Holder may occur in the event that any provision

compensable in damages. It is accordingly agreed that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled
at law or in equity, to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, without proof of actual damages, and the
Company will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Holder seeking such relief on the grounds that another remedy

Resolution.

 

(a)            The

to this Note between them. The party commencing negotiations of the dispute shall give to the other party written notice of the dispute,

    23

     

    

 

(b)            In
the event the parties are unable to resolve a dispute, controversy, difference or claim between them regarding this Note in accordance
with Section 6.11(a) above, such dispute, controversy, difference or claim, including the existence, validity, interpretation,
performance, default, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to
it, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”)
under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force at the time of commencement of the arbitration. The seat of arbitration
shall be Hong Kong. The number of arbitrators shall be three. The claimant and respondent shall each nominate one (1) arbitrator
and the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the HKIAC. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. This arbitration
clause shall be governed and construed under the laws of Hong Kong. The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon
the parties thereto and the parties undertake to carry out the award without delay. The award shall be final and binding on the parties,

review any question of law and/or the merits, insofar as such waiver may validly be made. The parties shall not be deemed, however, to
have waived any other right to challenge any award. Nothing in this Section 6.11 shall be construed as preventing any Party

of immunity. The Company irrevocably agrees that should any person take any arbitration or court proceedings in any jurisdiction (whether
for any injunction, specific performance, damages or otherwise) in connection with any Transaction Document, it waives any claim to immunity
(to the extent that it may at any time exist, whether on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) in relation to those proceedings, including,
without limitation, immunity from (a) jurisdiction of any court or tribunal; (b) service of process; (c) injunctive or
other interim relied, or any order for specific performance or recovery of land; and (d) any process for execution of any award
or judgment against its assets.

EXHIBIT 10.1
  
 CONFIDENTIAL SEPARATION AGREEMENT & GENERAL RELEASE
  
 This Confidential Separation Agreement & General Release (the “Agreement”) is entered into this 20th day of September 2022, by and between F&M Bank Corp., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”) and Carrie Comer (“Employee”) in light of the following:
  
 WHEREAS, Employee has been employed at-will by the Company;
  
 WHEREAS, Employee’s last date of employment with the Company shall be the Separation Date as set forth in Section 1 of the Agreement;
  
 WHEREAS, Company desires to assist Employee’s transition from employment with Company; and,
  
 WHEREAS, Employee and the Company desire to settle and resolve any and all matters arising out of or relating to Employee’s employment with the Company and/or the cessation of that employment relationship in a mutually satisfactory and confidential manner.
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties hereby acknowledge, the parties do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
  
 1. Separation of Employment.
  
 a. Employee’s employment with Company will terminate effective September 20, 2022 (the “Separation Date”). The Company shall pay to Employee all compensation earned by and expense reimbursements due to Employee through the Separation Date on the Company’s first regular pay day following the Separation Date. Employee is also entitled to benefits upon termination as set forth on the Summary of Benefits at Employee Resignation, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
  
 b. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee’s employment relationship with the Company and any and all Related Organizations will cease on the Separation Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Related Organizations” means the Company’s parent, subsidiaries and affiliated corporations or companies, as well as other related entities and their predecessors.
  
 c. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, except for the payments referenced in Subsection 1.a. hereof, the Company has paid Employee all salary, wages, expenses, reimbursements, vacation, sick leave, and other compensation or payments to which Employee is or may have been entitled under federal or state law, contract or otherwise through the date Employee signs this Agreement. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that there are no sums or other benefits due or owing to Employee by the Company or to which Employee is entitled by law as of the Separation Date, except as provided for under Subsection 1.a.
  
 2. Consideration.
  
 a. In consideration of Employee’s acceptance of this Agreement and promise to abide by the terms hereof, and to assist Employee in the transition from employment with the Company, the Company shall pay Employee an additional gross sum of Two Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand, Nine Hundred Twenty-Eight Dollars and Seventy-Five Cents ($229,928.75) which represents fifteen (15) months of salary at Employee’s most recent salary rate (the “Separation Pay”). The Separation Pay shall be paid in thirty-two (32) consecutive, substantially equal bi-weekly payments of approximately $7,185.27 each, less applicable deductions and withholdings, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures, beginning on the Company’s first scheduled pay date following the Effective Date of this Agreement (as defined herein) and continuing on each regular pay date thereafter until paid in full. During the period beginning on the Separation Date and continuing for so long as Employee is receiving the Separation Pay (the “Severance Period”), Employee will make herself reasonably available remotely by phone or email during the Company’s normal business hours to assist with questions or tasks related to the transition of Employee’s employment duties, as requested by the Company. For purposes of being “reasonably available,” Employee will provide the Company with a personal email address and cellular phone number and will respond initially to the Company’s request within two business days of receipt of the request. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that Employee’s availability to assist the Company is subject to her obligations and working hours with her future employer(s). Employee will immediately provide the Company with all login information for Company accounts, Company bank account information, relevant contact information for Company contacts, and any other information related to the Company’s business as requested by the Company. If the Company determines in good faith that Employee has failed to comply with these obligations during the Severance Period, the Company may immediately cease any Separation Pay payments, and Employee will not be entitled to any additional payments under this Agreement, other than Separation Pay already paid through the date of such determination. 
  
 	 
	1
	

	 

  
 b. Provided Employee complies with all of Employee’s obligations under this Agreement during the Severance Period, and conditioned on Employee first timely electing continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), then in addition to the Separation Pay, the Company will pay Employee the gross sum of Ten Thousand Three Hundred Twelve Dollars and Twenty Cents, ($10,312.20), to be used as Employee desires, including for Employee’s continued health insurance premiums under COBRA for a period of fifteen (15) months following the Separation Date (the “COBRA Allowance”). The COBRA Allowance will be paid in thirty-two (32) consecutive, substantially equal bi-weekly payments of approximately $322.26 each, less applicable deductions and withholdings, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures, beginning on the Company’s first scheduled pay date following the Effective Date and continuing on each regular pay date thereafter until paid in full.
  
 c. Employee hereby acknowledges that Company will deduct from the Separation Pay and COBRA Allowance all withholding taxes and other payroll deductions that Company is required by law to make from wage payments to employees.
  
 d. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Separation Pay and COBRA Allowance provided for under this Agreement are more than the Company is required to do under its normal policies and procedures and are in addition to anything of value to which Employee already is entitled and are sufficient legal consideration for Employee’s release of any rights pursuant to this Agreement and Employee’s other obligations hereunder.
  
 3. Other Defined Terms.
  
 a. The parties acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of this Agreement, the term “Releasees” means the Company and any Related Organizations, and any and all of their past and present parents, subsidiaries and affiliated corporations, companies, and other entities; each of their boards, groups, divisions, departments and units; and all of their past and present directors, trustees, officers, managers, supervisors, employees, attorneys, agents and consultants, and their predecessors, and all persons or entities acting by, with, through, under or in contract with any of them.
  
 b. The parties acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of this Agreement, the term “Claims” means: (i) each and every claim, complaint, cause of action, grievance, demand, allegation, or accusation, whether known or unknown, and (ii) each and every promise, assurance, contract, representation, obligation, guarantee, warranty, liability, right and commitment of any kind, whether known or unknown, and (iii) all forms of relief, including, but not limited to, all costs, expenses, losses, damages, debts and attorneys’ fees, whether known or unknown. However, the term “Claims” does not include a Charge of Discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
  
 4. General Waiver and Complete Release.
  
 a. In exchange for the consideration that the Company is giving Employee under this Agreement, Employee hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharges all Releasees from any and all Claims that Employee, or anyone on Employee’s behalf ever has or now has against any and all of the Releasees, or which Employee, or any of Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, hereafter can, shall or may have against any and all of the Releasees for or by reason of any cause, matter, thing, occurrence, or event whatsoever from the date of Employee’s birth to the date that Employee has signed this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Claims released in this Section 4 include, but are not limited to, (i) any and all Claims based on any law, statute, or constitution or based on contract or in tort or in common law, and any and all Claims based on or arising under any civil rights laws, such as the civil rights laws of any state or jurisdiction, or Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (“Title VII”); the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”); the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), except as provided herein; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), as amended; the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 (“FMLA”); the Civil Rights Act of 1991; or, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any other federal, state or local laws or regulations applicable to the employment relationship; (ii) any and all Claims under any grievance or complaint procedure of any kind or for reinstatement; and (iii) any and all Claims based on or arising out of or related to Employee’s recruitment by, employment with, the termination of Employee’s employment with, Employee’s performance of any service in any capacity for, or any business transaction with, each or any of the Releasees. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the release contained in this Section 4 is a general release and is to be broadly construed as a release of all claims to fullest extent allowed by law.
  
 	 
	2
	

	 

  
 b. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee is not waiving or releasing any rights or claims that may arise after the date this Agreement is executed. The parties also acknowledge and agree that the release contained in this Section 4 does not include a release of Employee’s right, if any, to payment of vested qualified retirement benefits under the Company’s ERISA plans and the right, if any, to continuation in the Company’s medical plans as provided by COBRA.
  
 c. Additionally, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to release any claims or prohibit the exercise of any rights by Employee that Employee may not waive or forego as a matter of law. Specifically, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall, interfere with Employee’s rights under federal, state or local civil rights or employment discrimination laws (including, but not limited to, Title VII, the ADEA, ERISA, the ADA, or their state or local counterparts) to file or otherwise institute a Charge of Discrimination, to participate in a proceeding with any appropriate federal, state, or local government agency enforcing discrimination laws, or to cooperate with any such agency in its investigation, none of which shall constitute a breach of Section 7 of this Agreement. Employee shall not, however, be entitled to any relief, recovery, or monies in connection with any such action brought against any of the Releasees, regardless of who filed or initiated any such complaint, charge, or proceeding.
  
 d. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the Employee’s ability or right to report securities law violations to the Securities and Exchange Commission and other federal agencies without the Company’s prior approval and without having to forfeit any resulting whistleblower award, if applicable. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or prevent Employee from testifying about criminal conduct or sexual harassment in an administrative, legislative, or judicial proceeding.
  
 5. Covenant Not to Sue.
  
 a. Employee agrees not to institute a Claim of any kind against any of the Releasees. This covenant not to sue includes any and all Claims that Employee, or anyone on Employee’s behalf ever has or now has against any and all of the Releasees, or which Employee, or any of Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, hereafter can, shall or may have against any and all of the Releasees for or by reason of any cause, matter, thing, occurrence, or event whatsoever from the date of Employee’s birth to the date that Employee has signed this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that this covenant not to sue covers Claims including, but not limited to, (i) any and all Claims based on any law, statute, or constitution or based on contract or in tort or in common law, and any and all Claims based on or arising under any civil rights laws, such as the civil rights laws of any state or jurisdiction, or Title VII, as amended, the ADA, or the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the FMLA, and the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”); (ii) any and all Claims under any grievance or complaint procedure of any kind or for reinstatement; (iii) any and all Claims that this Agreement or any provision hereof should be avoided or set aside; and (iv) any and all Claims based on or arising out of or related to Employee’s recruitment by, employment with, the termination of Employee’s employment with, Employee’s performance of any service in any capacity for, or any business transaction with, each or any of the Releasees.
  
 b. Employee understands and acknowledges that the covenant not to sue contained in this Section 5 is distinct and different from the general waiver and release of claims contained in Section 4 of this Agreement. In this Section 5, Employee is agreeing not to assert a Claim against the Company, while in Section 4 Employee is giving up rights or claims Employee has or may have through the date Employee signs this Agreement. If Employee violates this covenant not to sue by filing a Claim against the Company, Employee hereby agrees to pay all the Company’s costs and expenses of defending against any such Claim, including attorneys’ fees, and all further costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with collection.
  
 c. Unlike the general waiver and release set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, the covenant not to sue contained in this Section 5 does not cover Claims asserted under the ADEA or the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA). That means that Employee would not be liable under the terms of this Section 5 for the Company’s attorneys’ fees and costs if Employee filed an ADEA or OWBPA claim. Also the covenant not to sue contained in this Section 5 is not intended to and shall not interfere with Employee’s right to participate in a proceeding with any appropriate federal, state, or local government agency enforcing discrimination laws, or to cooperate with any such agency in its investigation, none of which shall constitute a breach of Section 7 of this Agreement or create liability for the Company’s attorneys’ fees and costs under this Section 5. Employee shall not, however, be entitled to any relief, recovery, or monies in connection with any such action brought against any of the Releasees, regardless of who filed or initiated any such complaint, charge, or proceeding.

 6. Return of Company Property; Confidentiality.
  
 a. Employee will immediately return all Company property to Company, including, but not limited to all Confidential Information and Company property in Employee ‘s possession, custody or control, regardless of its location. Company property includes, but is not limited to, files, documents, CDs, and any hard copy, digital or electronic copies thereof, and any Company issued laptop, cellphone, identification and key cards, keys, credit cards, chargers, software, and other computer or electronic devices Employee agrees not to retain copies of any Company information, property, documents or materials in hard copy, digital, or electronic format following Employee’s separation of employment. Notwithstanding the above provision, Employee certifies that Employee has destroyed any copies of such property in Employee ‘s possession in lieu of return thereof, which will be considered to be in compliance with this provision. Employee further acknowledges that Employee has not caused or permitted the transfer of any such property or information to any third party. Employee further understands that this provision is an essential term of the Agreement and that any violation hereof will constitute a material breach of the Agreement.
  
 b. In addition, Employee acknowledges that, during Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee was exposed to information belonging to the Company that is confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information. Employee agrees to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, or to disclose to any person or entity without written authorization of the Company, any Confidential Information of the Company.
