$[●] Byron, CA
   
No. 2026-[●] June [●], 2026

 

Elroy Air, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [●] (the “Holder”), or the Holder’s successors or permitted assigns, the principal sum of $[●], together with interest, in the manner provided herein. This Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) has been issued pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of [●], 2026 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the Holder. This Note is one of a series of notes (collectively, the “Notes”) issued pursuant to securities purchase agreements with substantially the same terms as the Purchase Agreement. The terms of the Notes (including this Note) are and will be identical except as to the name of the Holder thereof, the date of issuance thereof (where applicable), and the original principal amount thereof. The Notes shall rank equally without preference or priority of any kind over one another, and all payments of interest and principal with respect thereto shall be made ratably in proportion to the outstanding principal balance represented by each Note. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1. Maturity Date; Pre-Payment.

 

(a) Maturity Date and Conversion. Unless earlier repaid or converted, all amounts outstanding and unpaid under this Note, including any then unpaid and accrued interest, shall be due and payable upon demand by the Holder on, or at any time following, June [●], 20271 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

(b) Pre-Payment. This Note may not be prepaid, without the written consent of the Required Holders, except in connection with repayment in accordance with Section 5.

 

2. Interest. The Company shall pay simple interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof, which shall accrue beginning on the issue date set forth above at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”), computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days from the date of this Note, until the principal amount and all interest accrued thereon are paid or converted, as provided herein. Except in accordance with Section 1(b) or upon conversion in accordance with Section 3, interest shall not be due and payable until the Maturity Date or an earlier Event of Default, Business Combination, Qualified Financing or Change of Control. If a Qualified Financing is consummated prior to repayment of this Note, then all interest on this Note shall be deemed to have stopped accruing as of the date set forth in the definitive agreement for the Qualified Financing, which date shall be determined by the Company, which may be no more than ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Qualified Financing.

 

 

1NTD: To be one year after the issuance date.

 

 

 

3. Conversion in Connection with Business Combination

 

(a) Upon the closing of the business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by that certain business combination agreement, dated as of June [●], 2026, by and among Columbus Circle Capital Corp II (prior to the closing of the Business Combination, “SPAC,” and following the closing of the Business Combination “PubCo”), IPHX Merger Sub, Inc. and the Company (the “Business Combination Agreement”), without any action on the part of the Holder, the Company or any other party to the Business Combination Agreement, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon as of the day prior to such Business Combination (such aggregate amount of principal and interest, the “BC Conversion Amount”), shall automatically convert into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of 12.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of PubCo (the “PubCo Preferred Stock”) having the rights, preferences and privileges set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 12.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Certificate of Designation”) equal to the quotient of the BC Conversion Amount divided by the BC Conversion Price (as defined below). For purposes of this Note, “BC Conversion Price” shall mean $12.00. The Holder shall be entitled to customary registration rights with respect to the PubCo Preferred Stock and any underlying shares of common stock issuable upon conversion thereof pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).

 

(b) If this Note is to be automatically converted pursuant to Section 3(a), written notice shall be delivered to the Holder notifying the Holder of the conversion to be effected, specifying the applicable BC Conversion Price, the principal amount of the Note to be converted, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, and the date on which such conversion is expected to occur. The Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents entered into by all other holders of Notes and such other agreements reasonably requested by the Company and PubCo, including (without limitation) the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement. The Holder also agrees to deliver the original of this Note if issued in physical form (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company and PubCo whereby the Holder agrees to indemnify the Company and PubCo for any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) at the closing of the Business Combination for cancellation; provided, however, that upon closing of such Business Combination, this Note shall be deemed converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this sentence. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, cause PubCo to issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates (or a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares, if applicable) for the number of PubCo Preferred Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion. Any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the Business Combination (it being understood that the closing of the Business Combination will be deemed to be concurrent for purposes hereof to allow for PubCo to issue the PubCo Preferred Stock upon conversion of this Note), and on and after such date, the Person entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares. As used herein, “Person” shall mean any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, company, trust, unincorporated organization, association, corporation, institution, public benefit corporation, firm, joint stock company, estate, entity, or government agency.

 

(c) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, PubCo will round up to the nearest whole share.

4. Conversion in Connection with a Qualified Financing.

 

(a) If the Business Combination Agreement has been terminated without the Business Combination having closed (the “Termination Event”), then upon the closing of a Qualified Financing prior to repayment or conversion of this Note, at the option of the Holder, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, shall convert into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the capital stock of the Company issued and sold at the closing of such Qualified Financing (“Qualified Financing Stock”), at the applicable Conversion Price. As used herein, “QF Conversion Price” shall mean a price per share equal to the lowest price paid in cash by the purchasers of the Qualified Financing Stock sold in the Qualified Financing. As used herein, a “Qualified Financing” shall mean a transaction or series of transactions with the principal purpose of raising capital pursuant to which the Company issues and sells shares of its capital stock for aggregate gross proceeds of (x) at least $25,000,000 (excluding all principal and accrued interest underlying the Notes), or (y) such lesser amount as is consented to by the Holder. The Holder shall be entitled to customary registration rights with respect to the Qualified Financing Stock and any underlying shares of common stock issuable upon conversion thereof.

 

(b) If the Holder will have the option to convert this Note pursuant to Section 4(a), written notice shall be delivered to the Holder notifying the Holder of the conversion to be effected, specifying the QF Conversion Price, the principal amount of the Note to be converted, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, and the date on which such conversion is expected to occur. The issuance of the Qualified Financing Stock pursuant to the terms hereof shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions (other than the applicable Conversion Price) applicable to the shares of the Qualified Financing Stock sold to all other purchasers in such Qualified Financing (provided that the Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Qualified Financing Stock issued to the Holder pursuant to the terms hereof may have a per share liquidation preference, price-based anti-dilution protection, and dividend rights based on the QF Conversion Price) and the Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents entered into by all other investors and purchasers participating in the Qualified Financing and such other agreements reasonably requested by the Company, including (without limitation) a purchase agreement and an investors’ rights agreement and/or registration rights agreement, with customary representations and warranties, registration rights and transfer restrictions. The Holder also agrees to deliver the original of this Note if issued in physical form (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the Holder agrees to indemnify the Company for any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) at the closing of the Qualified Financing for cancellation; provided, however, that upon closing of such Qualified Financing, this Note shall be deemed converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this sentence. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates (or a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares, if applicable) for the number of shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion. Any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the Qualified Financing, and on and after such date, the Person entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares.

 

(c) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company will pay to the Holder in cash any amount that would otherwise be converted into such fractional share.

5. Change of Control. If the Termination Event has occurred, unless this Note has previously been repaid or converted, at the option of the Holder, (i) immediately prior to the closing of a Change of Control, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, shall convert into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company at a price per share equal to the CoC Price (the “CoC Conversion”); provided, however, that as an alternative to the actual conversion into the Company’s common stock pursuant to such CoC Conversion, the Company may deem the unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, to have converted into the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to the CoC Price, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive the same consideration payable to the holders of the Company’s common stock, on a pro rata and pari passu basis, in connection with such Change of Control, as if the Holder was an actual holder of such shares of common stock or (ii) upon the closing of a Change of Control, the Holder shall be entitled to receive its Cash-Out Amount. As a condition precedent to receive any shares of the Company’s common stock or consideration payable upon such shares of common stock deemed to have been converted pursuant to this Section 5, if requested by the Company, the Holder shall execute and deliver a release in favor of the Company and its affiliates covering the Holder’s status as a lender to and/or stockholder in the Company, in a form materially similar to the general release provided by the holders of the Company’s equity securities in connection with such Change of Control, and the Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company such other agreements reasonably requested by the Company and the Required Purchasers. As used herein, a “Change of Control” means: (i) a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the initial issuance date of this Note) or (ii) the closing of the Company’s first firm commitment underwritten initial public offering of its common stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Act; provided, that a Qualified Financing or the Business Combination shall not constitute a Change of Control hereunder. As used herein, “Cash-Out Amount” means an amount equal to (i) two (2) times the then outstanding principal amount under this Note, plus (ii) all then accrued but unpaid interest under this Note. As used herein, “CoC Price” means an amount obtained by dividing (x) $620,000,000 by (y) as of immediately prior to the conversion of this Note, the sum of (i) the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) the shares of the Company’s common stock directly or indirectly issuable upon conversion or exchange of all outstanding securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for the Company’s common stock (including the Company’s preferred stock) and the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants, but specifically excluding (a) the Notes and the securities directly or indirectly issuable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes, (b) other outstanding convertible promissory notes, SAFEs, or other convertible indebtedness, and the securities directly or indirectly issuable upon conversion or exchange thereof, and (c) shares of the Company’s common stock reserved and not issued or subject of outstanding awards under any equity incentive or similar plan of the Company. The Holder shall be entitled to customary registration rights with respect to the any securities of an issuer that is subject to reporting pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are issued as consideration to the Holder in the CoC Conversion.

 

6. Covenants.

 

(a) The Company shall designate all payments due under this Note as senior unsecured Indebtedness, and the Notes shall rank pari passu with each other and (b) shall be at least pari passu in right of payment with all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

(b) To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Holder by this Note, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 

(c) While any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Company’s Organizational Documents) the written consent or affirmative vote of the Required Holders:

 

(i)until the occurrence of a Termination Event, liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Company, effect any merger or consolidation (other than the Merger contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement) or any other Deemed Liquidation Event, or consent to any of the foregoing;

The Notes, including this Note, may be amended with the written consent of the Required Holders, provided, however, and notwithstanding anything in the Notes to the contrary, no provision of the Notes, including this Note, shall be amended to the extent any such amendment would (i) disproportionately, materially and adversely modify any rights of any Note holder (as compared to the rights of the other holders of Notes) or (ii) impose any additional financial obligations or liabilities on a Note holder, in each case, unless any such holder of a Note shall have previously consented in writing to such amendment or voted to approve such amendment at a meeting. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any holder of a Note to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Notes unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the holders of the Notes.
