Reference
is made to that certain Promissory Note (the “Original Note”), dated as of March 4, 2021 (the “Effective Date”),
by and between Newcourt Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and blank check company (the “Maker”) and
Newcourt SPAC Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company or its registered assigns or successors in interest (together, 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, the principal sum of up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Maximum Amount”)
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 Notice (as defined in Section 9) to Maker in accordance with the provisions of this Note.


 


1. Principal. The principal balance of
this Note shall be payable by Maker on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”) or (ii) the expiration
of the underwriters’ 45-day option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, in connection with Maker’s
initial public offering of its securities (the “IPO”). 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 Maker, be obligated personally for
any obligations or liabilities of 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 from the Payee or its affiliates up to the Maximum Amount for costs reasonably related to the IPO. The principal
of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2021 or (ii) the expiration of the underwriters’
45-day option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, in connection with the IPO, 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 Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), unless agreed upon by Maker and Payee. Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request no later
than five business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns collectively
under this Note shall not exceed the Maximum Amount. Once an amount is drawn down under this Note, such amount shall not be available
for future Drawdown Requests, even if such amount is prepaid. No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with,
or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 attorneys’
fees, and second, to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of 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, second, to the payment in full of any late charges, and third, to the reduction
of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.
