PROMISSORY NOTE


 


	Principal Amount: Up to $1,150,000.00	Dated as of November [__], 2021


 


Chain Bridge I,
a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Maker”), promises to pay to the order of CB Co-Investment LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, or its registered assigns or successors in interest (“Payee”), or order, the principal sum of up
to one million one hundred fifty thousand U.S. dollars ($1,150,000) in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and
conditions described below. All cash payments on this Promissory Note (this “Note”) shall be made by check or wire
transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with
the provisions of this Note.


 


1.            Principal. Unless
earlier converted into Warrants (as defined below), the principal balance of this Note shall be payable on the earlier of:
(i) November [__], 2024 or (ii) the consummation of an initial busines combination by Maker (the “Initial
Business Combination”). The principal balance may not be prepaid at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Payee shall have
the right to convert the outstanding principal balance on this Note into warrants, each such warrant entitling the Payee to purchase
one Class A Ordinary Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Maker (“Warrants”), at a conversion price of
$1.00 per Warrant, in each case subject to that certain Warrant Agreement between Maker and Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, dated as of November [__], 2021 (the “Warrant Agreement”); provided, however, that any such
conversion shall not occur until after the 60th day following the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1 related
to Maker’s initial public offering. The Warrants issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount hereunder shall
(i) be identical to the Warrants issued by Maker to the Payee in a private placement upon consummation of Maker’s initial
public offering and (ii) be entitled to the same registration rights as those Warrants referenced in clause (i).


 


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


 


3.            Drawdown
Requests. Maker and Payee agree that Maker may request one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) to fund the trust account established in
connection with Maker’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”) to a value of $10.20 per public share sold
in such initial public offering (the “Trust Account Funding Level”), on the date of the consummation of such offering,
solely for deposit into the Trust Account. The remaining undrawn principal of this Note may be drawn down on the date of the consummation
of the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option in connection with Maker’s initial public offering, based on Payee’s
pro rata investment in the at-risk capital of Maker, solely for deposit into the Trust Account to ensure that the Trust Account Funding
Level is maintained at $10.20 per share sold in Maker’s initial public offering, in an amount proportionate to the exercise of such
over-allotment option. Once an amount is drawn down under this Note, it shall not be available for future drawdown. No fees, payments
or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any payments under this Note.


 


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 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.            Events
of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”):

its property, or the making by it of any assignment for 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 by Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.


 


(c) Involuntary
Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of Maker in an
involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,

providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any real estate
that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on any writ of execution issued hereon, may be sold upon any
such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.


 


8.            Unconditional
Liability. Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the
payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall
not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee,
and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment
or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without
notice to Maker or affecting Maker’s liability hereunder.
