Delaware corporation and blank check company (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of Twelve Seas Sponsor IV
TMT LLC or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), 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

1. Principal. The principal balance of this
Note shall be payable by the Maker on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 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 to Maker’s initial public offering

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 then 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, then to the payment in full of any late charges and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal
balance of this Note.

by Maker to pay the principal amount due pursuant to this Note within five (5) business days of the date specified above.

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
