Promissory Note—Related Party
On August 14, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover for expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”).
The Note was non-interest bearing and

Administrative Service Fee
The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on October 23, 2020, through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company will pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had incurred $30,000 and $60,000 of administrative fees, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had incurred $30,000 and $60,000 of administrative fees, respectively.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 0 outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs(i) in
the case of the Founder Shares, in accordance with the letter agreement the Company’s initial shareholders entered into and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement
