**Twelve Seas Investment Company II**, a Delaware corporation and a special purpose acquisition company (the "**Maker**"), promises to pay to the order of **Twelve Seas Sponsor II LLC**, a Delaware limited liability company, or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the "**Payee**"), or order, the principal sum of up to Nine Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($900,000) (the "**Principal 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 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 due and payable by the Maker on the earlier of (such date, the "**Maturity Date**"), subject to Section 12 below, (a) the date that Maker consummates the Maker's initial business combination and (b) the date of the liquidation of the Maker. 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.** Payee will fund up to the Principal Amount into the trust account of Maker established in connection with its initial public offering (the "**Trust Account**"), such amounts to be for the benefit of the Maker's unredeemed shares of Class A common stock upon redemption or liquidation of the Maker, all in accordance with the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended. The principal of this Note may be drawn down in up to nine (9) installments of $100,000 per withdrawal, once per month beginning in March 2023, up until the date on which Maker consummates its initial business combination, upon written request from Maker to Payee (each, a "**Drawdown Request**"). Each Drawdown Request must be made before the 2<sup>nd</sup> of each applicable month or any such date as mutually agreed between the parties and state the amount to be drawn down. Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request via a wire transfer directly to the Trust Account no later than the 9<sup>th</sup> of each applicable month; *provided, however,* that the maximum amount of drawdowns collectively under this Note shall not exceed the Principal Amount. Once an amount is drawn down under this Note, it shall not be available for future Drawdown Requests. Except as set forth herein, no fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, 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 attorneys' fees, and 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**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Failure to Make Required Payments</u>. Failure by the Maker to pay the principal amount due pursuant to this Note within five (5) business days of the Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Voluntary Bankruptcy, Etc</u>. The commencement by the Maker of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation 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 the 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 the Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Involuntary Bankruptcy, Etc</u>. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days.

**6. Remedies.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a) hereof, the Payee may, by written notice to the Maker, declare this Note to be due immediately and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and all other amounts payable hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the documents evidencing the same to the contrary notwithstanding.

**7. Waivers.** The Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of, and sureties for, this Note waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest with regard to this Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by the Payee under the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to the Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting any property, real or personal, 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 the 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 the Payee.

**12. Trust Waiver.** Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Payee hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind ("**Claim**") in or to any distribution of or from the Trust Account, in which the proceeds of the initial public offering ("the "**IPO**") conducted by the Maker (including the deferred underwriters' discounts and commissions) and the proceeds of the sale of the private units issued in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO were deposited, as described in greater detail in Maker's Registration Statements on Form S-1 (Nos. 333- 252599 and 333-253560) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO, and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.
