Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 24, 2010, Ascend Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) executed a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Don K. Rice, a Company officer and director, representing the original principal amount of $30,000.  The Note represents amounts heretofore advanced to the Company by Mr. Rice during March, May and July 2010.  The Note is due and payable in full on demand, and bears interest at the rate of five percent (5.0%) per annum.

At any time prior to the payment in full of the entire balance of the Notes, Mr. Rice has the option of converting all or any portion of the unpaid balance of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.05 per share, subject to adjustment upon certain events.  The conversion price was equal to the recent market of the Company’s common stock.  Assuming no adjustment to the conversion price, if Mr. Rice converts the entire principal balance of the Note, he would receive 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The preceding description of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Note is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the copy of the Note that is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
