August 30, 2022


 


Principal Amount: $25,000


 


Natural Order Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation and blank check company (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of Natural Order Sponsor LLC,
or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), the principal sum of fifty thousand dollars ($25,000)
in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. All payments on this Note shall be made
by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by the Maker to such account as the Payee may from
time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.


 


1. Principal. The principal balance
of this Note shall be payable by the Maker on the earlier of: (i) the date on which Maker consummates its initial business
combination (the “Business Combination”) or (ii) the date that the winding up of the Maker is effective (such
date, the “Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of Maker, without
premium or penalty. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any executive officer, director,
employee or stockholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.


 


2.
Interest. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.


 


3.
Optional Conversion.


 


(a) Upon
consummation of the Business Combination and at the Payee’s option, the Payee may elect, by written notice to the Maker, to convert
all or any portion of the Note into that number of warrants (the “Conversion Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares
of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Maker equal to: (i) the portion of the principal amount of the Note being converted pursuant
to this Section 3, divided by (ii) $1.00. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the warrants issued by the Maker to the Payee
in a private placement upon consummation of Maker’s initial public offering (the “IPO”). The Conversion Warrants
and their underlying securities, and any other equity security of Maker issued or issuable with respect to the foregoing by way of a share
dividend or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, amalgamation, consolidation or reorganization,
shall be entitled to the registration rights set forth in Section 15 hereof.


 






     


     


    

 


(b) Upon
any complete or partial conversion of the principal amount of this Note (i) such principal amount shall be so converted and such
converted portion of this Note shall become fully paid and satisfied, (ii) the Payee shall surrender and deliver this Note, duly
endorsed, to Maker or such other address which Maker shall designate against delivery of the Conversion Warrants, (iii) Maker shall
promptly deliver a new duly executed Note to the Payee in the principal amount that remains outstanding, if any, after any such
conversion and (iv) in exchange for all or any portion of the surrendered Note described in Section 3(a), Maker shall, at the
direction of Payee, deliver to Payee (or its members or their respective affiliates) (Payee or such other persons, the
“Holders”) the Conversion Warrants, which shall bear such legends as are required, in the opinion of counsel to
Maker or by any other agreement between Maker and the Payee and applicable state and federal securities laws.


 


(c) The
Holders shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable with respect to any issue or delivery of the Conversion Warrants
upon conversion of this Note pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Payee shall pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer
requested by the Holders in connection with any such conversion.


 


(d) The
Conversion Warrants shall not be issued upon conversion of this Note unless such issuance and such conversion comply with all applicable
provisions of law.


 


4. Application
of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this
Note, including (without limitation) reasonable and documented attorney’s fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges
and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.


 


5.

the benefit of creditors, or the failure of Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of corporate action
