This Amended and Restated
Promissory Note (this “Note”) amends and restates the Promissory Note, dated as of February 26, 2020 (the “Existing
Note”), from byNordic Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and blank check company (the “Maker”)
payable to the order of Water byNordic AB or its registered assigns or successors in interest (“Payee”). The terms,
conditions and provisions of the Existing Note are hereby amended and restated in their entirety effective as of the date hereof so that
henceforth the terms, conditions and provisions of the Existing Note shall read and be as set forth in this Note and Maker agrees to comply
with and be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Note effective as of the date hereof. Maker hereby acknowledges
and agrees that this Note evidences the outstanding principal balance evidenced by the Existing Note, as amended and restated pursuant
to the immediately preceding sentence, together with any additional draw down on the principal of this Note. Neither this Note nor anything
contained herein shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the outstanding principal balance evidenced by the Existing Note
or of the Existing Note, which shall remain in full force and effect as hereby amended and restated. Maker promises to pay to the order
of Payee, or order, the principal sum of up to Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) 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

public offering of its securities. The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the earlier of: (i) September
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

than five (5) business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns collectively

future Drawdown Requests even if 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
