    WHEREAS, on April 9, 2021, the undersigned AxonPrime Infrastructure Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Maker”),


      is issuing this Note to AxonPrime Infrastructure Sponsor LLC (“Payee”); and

    

    

    NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the existence and sufficiency of
      which is expressly recognized by each of the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:

    

    

    FOR VALUE RECEIVED and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Maker, promises to pay to Payee, or order, the principal sum of Three
      Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($300,000) or such lesser amount as shall have been advanced by Payee to Maker and shall remain unpaid under this Note on the Maturity Date (as defined below) 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 Maker to such account as Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in
      accordance with the provisions of this Note.

    

    

    1.

    Principal. The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due
        and payable in full on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2021, and (ii) the date on which Maker consummates an initial public offering of its securities (such earlier date of (i) and (ii), the “Maturity Date”),
        unless accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time by Maker, at its election and without penalty. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited
        to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of Maker hereunder.

        including its formation. The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date upon request from Maker to Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Each Drawdown Request must
        state the amount to be drawn down, and must not be an amount less than One Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,000) unless agreed upon by Maker and Payee. Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request no later than three (3) business days after receipt of a
        Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns outstanding under this Note at any time may not exceed Three Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($300,000). No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to
        Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker.
