Re: Securities Purchase Agreement (byNordic Holdings II LLC)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into on the date hereof by and between byNordic Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation that is a blank check company formed for the purposes of acquiring one more businesses or entities, as the seller (the “Seller”, “we” or “us”), and byNordic Holdings II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the purchaser (the “Purchaser” or “you”). Pursuant to the terms hereof, the Seller hereby agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Seller, (i) 195,000 shares of the Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Seller (the “Private Shares”), up to 22,500 of which are subject to forfeiture by the Purchaser to the extent that the underwriters of the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the units of the Seller (the “Units”), each consisting of one share of the Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Seller, and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Seller, do not fully exercise their over-allotment option (the “Over-allotment Option”), and (ii) 899,065 shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Seller (the “Founder Shares” and, together with the Private Shares, the “Subject Shares”), up to 163,608 of which are subject to forfeiture by the Purchaser to the extent that the underwriters of the IPO of the Units do not fully exercise the Over-allotment Option. In the event that anchor investors described in the Registration Statement purchase less than an aggregate of 14,640,000 units in the IPO and the number of Founder Shares transferred or issued to the anchor investors is reduced to less than an aggregate of 1,109,091 Founder Shares (any such reduction being referred to as the “Anchor Founder Share Reduction”), the Company will purchase from the SPAC additional Founder Shares (the “Additional Founder Shares”) equal to its pro rata share of the Anchor Founder Share Reduction based on the number of Private Shares purchased by the Company as a percentage of the aggregate number of all of the Private Shares issued by the SPAC in connection with the IPO and the undersigned shall pay to the Company an amount equal to $0.0043 for each Additional Founder Share purchased by the Company. The forfeiture of up to 22,500 of the Private Shares and up to 163,608 of the Founder Shares if the underwriters of the IPO of the Units do not fully exercise the Over-allotment Option, plus any Additional Founder Shares acquired by Purchaser subject to forfeiture, shall occur in the manner described in the Seller’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-248488) (such registration statement, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Seller with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO. The Seller and the Purchaser’s agreements regarding the Subject Shares are as follows:

1. Purchase of Subject Shares.

1.1. Purchase of Subject Shares. For an aggregate purchase price of $1,953,866 (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to or at the direction of the Seller in accordance with wiring instructions to be provided by the Seller on such business day that is designated by the Seller in writing to the Purchaser upon at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice that shall occur following the pricing and not later than the closing of the IPO (the “Closing Date”), the Seller hereby sells and transfers the Subject Shares to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby purchases the Subject Shares from the Seller, subject to forfeiture as described herein, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.  The Seller and the Purchaser agree that $1,950,000 of the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the purchase of the Private Shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and the remaining $3,866 of the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the purchase of the Founder Shares at a purchase price of $0.0043 per share. The payment of the Purchase Price to the Seller on the Closing Date shall occur substantially concurrently with the funding of the purchase price contemplated under that certain letter agreement, dated November 30, 2021 (the “Subscription Agreement”), entered into between the Purchaser, as the seller thereunder, and Double H byNordic Investments, LLC , as the purchaser thereunder, pursuant to which Double H byNordic Investments, LLC shall purchase limited liability company interests of the Purchaser representing indirect interests in the Subject Shares sold by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement Concurrently with the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Seller shall, at its option, deliver to the Purchaser certificates registered in the Purchaser’s name representing the Subject Shares (the “Original Certificates”), or effect such delivery in book-entry form.

2.1.3. Organization and Corporate Power; Enforceability. The Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets of the Purchaser.

Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

2.1.4. Experience, Financial Capability and Suitability. Purchaser is: (i) sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Subject Shares and (ii) able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Subject Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Subject Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act (as defined below) and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Seller and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment until the Subject Shares are sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from registration available with respect to such sale.

Access to Information; Independent Investigation. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Seller concerning an investment in the Seller, as well as the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Seller, and the opportunity to obtain additional information to verify the accuracy of all information so obtained. In determining whether to make this investment, Purchaser has relied solely on Purchaser’s own knowledge and understanding of the Seller and its business based upon Purchaser’s own due diligence investigation and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph. Purchaser understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations which were not furnished pursuant to this Section 2 and Purchaser has not relied on any other representations or information in making its investment decision, whether written or oral, relating to the Seller, its operations and/or its prospects.

2.1.8. Restrictions on Transfer; Shell Company. Purchaser understands the Subject Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act. Purchaser understands the Subject Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and Purchaser understands that the certificates or book-entries representing the Subject Shares will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions. If in the future the Purchaser decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Subject Shares, such Subject Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only pursuant to: (i) registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) an available exemption from registration; provided, that Purchaser agrees that if any transfer of its Subject Shares or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Purchaser may be required to deliver to the Seller an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Seller. Absent registration or an exemption, the Purchaser agrees not to resell the Subject Shares. Purchaser further acknowledges that because the Seller is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to the Purchaser for the resale of the Subject Shares until one year following consummation of the initial business combination of the Seller, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.

The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
