PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	Principal Amount: $950,000	Dated as of December 16, 2020 
	(as set forth on the Schedule of Borrowings attached hereto)	New York, New York

 

Tech and Energy Transition
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), promises to pay Tech and Energy Transition Sponsor LLC or its registered
assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), the principal sum of Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($950,000)
or such lesser amount as shall have been advanced by Payee to Maker and shall remain unpaid under this Note (as set forth on the
Schedule of Borrowings attached hereto) 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 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 entire unpaid principal balance of the Note shall be payable on the earlier of: (i) September 30, 2021 or (ii) the date
on which Maker consummates an initial public offering of its securities (the “IPO”) (such earlier date, the
“Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be prepaid without penalty 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. Drawdown Requests. Maker
and Payee agree that Maker may request, from time to time, up to Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($950,000) in aggregate
draw downs under this Note to be used for costs and expenses related to the IPO. Seventy-Five Thousand ($75,000) of such
amount shall be advanced on the date hereof (the “Initial Advance”), and the remaining principal amount of
this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date 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 Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) 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 to be made under this Note (including the Initial Advance) may not exceed Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($950,000). No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown
Request by Maker.

 

3.
Interest. No interest shall accrue on 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.

 

5.
Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Note:

 

(a) Failure
to Make Required Payments. Failure by Maker to pay the principal amount due pursuant to this Note within five (5) business
days of the Maturity Date.

 

(b) Voluntary
Bankruptcy, Etc. The commencement by 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 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
Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of 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 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 60 consecutive days.

 

6.
Remedies.

 

(a) Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a) hereof, Payee may, by written notice to 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.

 

(b) Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 5(b) or 5(c), the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and all other
sums payable with regard to this Note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action
on the part of Payee.

 

7. Waivers.
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 the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by
Payee under the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to 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
Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on 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 hereto without notice to Maker or affecting Maker’s liability hereunder.

writing by such party with confirmation of receipt or (ii) by electronic mail, to the electronic mail address most recently

of receipt. Any notice or other communication so transmitted shall be deemed to have been given on the business day following
receipt of written confirmation from such party that such notice, statement or other document has been received.

 

10. Construction.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS
THEREOF.

 

11. Severability.
Any provision contained in this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and
any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

 

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 to be established in which the
proceeds of the IPO conducted by Maker (including the deferred underwriters discounts and commissions) and the proceeds from
the sale of certain warrants to be issued and sold by the Maker in a private placement to close simultaneously with the
closing of the IPO are to be deposited, to be described in greater detail in the registration statement and prospectus to be
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.
