by and between Shelter Acquisition Corporation I, a Delaware corporation and blank check company (the “Maker”) and
Shelter Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Payee”). This Note amends and restates the Original
Note in its entirety and shall be deemed effective as of the Effective Date.


 


The Maker promises to
pay to the order of the Payee or its registered assigns or successors in interest, or order, the principal sum of up to Three Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($300,000) 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) September 30, 2021 or (ii) the date on which Maker
consummates an initial public offering of its securities. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. Under no circumstances
shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder 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. Drawdown
Requests. Maker and Payee agree that Maker may request up to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) for costs reasonably related

earlier of: (i) June 30, 2021 or (ii) the date on which Maker consummates an initial public offering of its securities, upon written 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 Dollars ($1,000) unless agreed upon by Maker and Payee. Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request
no later than one (1) business day after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns collectively

or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker.


 


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

or other similar law, or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of 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

of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days.

or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or 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 or 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
