Co-Sale Right 3.1 An Offeror may not sell any of the Offered Shares until each of the Investors shall have been given the right (a “Co-Sale Right”), exercisable by Notice delivered to the Company and the Offeror within twenty (20) days from the date of the Company Notice, to sell to the proposed purchaser or purchasers (including, as applicable, the Company and any Electing Investors), upon the same terms and conditions offered by the Offeror, a number of shares up to the Investor’s Co-Sale Pro Rata Share of the Offered Shares (the “Co-Sale Shares”). 3.2 Any Investor who fails to notify the Company and Offeror within twenty (20) days after the Sale Notice of the exercise of the Investor’s Co-Sale Right (or who has exercised purchase rights under Section 2), shall have thereby waived Co-Sale Rights with respect to the Offered Shares. 3.3 If any Investor has made a timely exercise of a Co-Sale Right, to the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from an Investor exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder (a “Co-Selling Investor”), the Offeror shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Offeror purchases such Co-Sale Shares from such Co-Selling Investor for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Sale Notice. 3.4 Each Co-Selling Investor shall, promptly after exercising a Co-Sale Right, deliver to the Offeror for transfer to the prospective purchaser or purchasers one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, evidencing the Co-Sale Shares, Series A-1 Shares convertible into Co-Sale Shares or any combination of the two (and, if the Offered Shares included Series A Shares, the number of Series A Shares comprising Co-Sale Shares). If a prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of preferred stock in lieu of Common Stock, any Co-Selling Investor shall convert the Series A-1 Shares into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual sale of such shares to the proposed purchaser. Series A Shares may not be delivered to exercise a Co-Sale Right with respect to offered Common Stock or offered Series A-1 Shares. 3.5 If the Investors have not elected to purchase all of the Available Shares pursuant to Section 2, the Offeror may, during the 60-day period following the Settlement Date, offer the remaining unsold portion of the Available Shares (as reduced by any exercised Co-Sale Rights, the “Salable Shares”), along with any Co-Sale Shares, on terms and conditions (other than the time permitted to close the purchase) no more favorable to the Offeree than those specified in the Sale Notice, to the purchaser or purchasers identified in the Sale Notice. If the Offeror does not enter into an agreement for the sale of any of the Salable Shares and Co-Sale Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of its execution, the right provided under Sections 2 and 3 shall be revived as to the unsold Offered Shares, which shall not be sold unless first reoffered to the Company and the Investors in accordance with Sections 2 and 3. Any partial sale of Shares made pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among Salable Shares and Co-Sale Shares. 3.6 On consummation of the sale of the Offered Shares and Co-Sale Shares, the Offeror shall transfer to the purchaser the stock certificate or certificates that the Investor has delivered to the Offeror pursuant to Section 3.4. The Offeror shall, upon receipt, remit to the Co-Selling Investor that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibit such assignment or otherwise refuse to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-Selling Investor, the Offeror shall not sell any Offered Shares to the prospective purchaser unless, simultaneously with such sale, the Offeror purchases the Co-Sale Shares from such Investor.
Company Securities Except as set forth in this Section 3.7, as of the Capitalization Date there were (i) other than the Company Common Stock, no outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, the Company; (ii) no outstanding securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, the Company; (iii) no outstanding options, warrants or other rights or binding arrangements to acquire from the Company, or that obligate the Company to issue, any capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, the Company; (iv) no obligations of the Company to grant, extend or enter into any subscription, warrant, right, convertible or exchangeable security, or other similar Contract relating to any capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest (including any voting debt) in, the Company; (v) no outstanding shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, contingent value rights, “phantom” stock or similar securities or rights that are derivative of, or provide economic benefits based, directly or indirectly, on the value or price of, any capital stock of, or other securities or ownership interests in, the Company (the items in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), collectively with the Company Capital Stock, the “Company Securities”); (vi) voting trusts, proxies or similar arrangements or understandings to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound with respect to the voting of any shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, the Company; (vii) obligations or binding commitments of any character restricting the transfer of any shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, the Company to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; and (viii) no other obligations by the Company to make any payments based on the price or value of any Company Securities. The Company is not a party to any Contract that obligates it to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Company Securities. There is no outstanding obligation or commitment of the Company to issue, grant, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Company Securities. There are no accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to any outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock. The Company does not have a stockholder rights plan in effect.
WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the shareholders.

Preemptive Right (i) In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it shall give each of the Investors written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the following: (i) the number and type of New Securities, (ii) the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities, (iii) the identity of the third party to which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities; and (iv) other matters relating to the New Securities. Each Investor shall have the right (but no obligation) to, within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice, purchase up to such Investor’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company, stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Investor’s Pro Rata Share) (the “Preemptive Rights”). If any Investor fails to so respond in writing within such thirty (30) day period, then such Investor’s right to purchase its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities hereunder shall be forfeited, but such Investor shall not be deemed to forfeit any right with respect to any other issuance of New Securities. (ii) If any Investor fails or declines to exercise its Preemptive Rights or does not exercise its Preemptive Rights in full in accordance with Section 4.2(i) above, the Company shall promptly give written notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Investors who exercised in full their Preemptive Rights (the “Oversubscription Participants”) in accordance with Section 4.2(i) above, describing the following: (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for oversubscription and (ii) the list of Oversubscription Participants. Each Oversubscription Participant shall have the right (but no obligation) to, within ten (10) days from the date of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”, together with the First Participation Period, the “Participation Period”), notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to purchase (the “Additional Number”). If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for purchase, each Oversubscription Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to such number of remaining New Securities equal to the lesser of (x) the Additional Number and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis held by such Oversubscription Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis held by all the Oversubscription Participants. (iii) If any change is made to the terms or conditions specified in the First Participation Notice, or if the Company has not consummated the sale of such New Securities within ninety (90) day period after the expiration of the Participation Period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Investors pursuant to this Section 4.2. (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the Applicable Securities Law, the Company will grant and issue an option to each Series F Investor, each Investor whose appointee remains a director of the Board, each Investor whose appointee remains an Observer and each Investor that holds 5% or more of the total issued shares of the Company immediately prior to the completion of the IPO (each such Investor, a “Major Investor”), pursuant to which each such Major Investor and/or its respective designated Affiliate is entitled to, as a cornerstone investor or as a placee of the IPO, purchase its Pro Rata Share of the Ordinary Shares (or securities of the Company representing the Ordinary Shares) to be offered by the Company for sale in the IPO at the same offering price per share at which the securities offered in the IPO are being offered to the public (the “IPO Anti-dilution Right”). All shares of the Company held by an Investor and its Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of the IPO Anti-dilution Right for such Investor under this Section 4.2(iv). Each Major Investor shall have the right to elect to terminate its IPO Anti-dilution Right under this Section 4.2(iv) immediately before the Company files an A-1 Listing Application in connection with an IPO on Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purpose of this Section 4.2(iv), “Pro Rata Share” of a Major Investor shall mean the ratio of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis held by such Investor, to (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis held by all Shareholders immediately prior to the completion of the IPO.
Warrant Holder Not Shareholder This Warrant does not confer upon the holder hereof any right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other rights or liabilities as a shareholder, prior to the exercise hereof as hereinbefore provided.
Founder Shares In July 2023 and September 2023, Hercules Capital Management Corp (the “Sponsor”) acquired an aggregate of 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”), for an aggregate consideration of $25,000 to. No underwriting discounts, commissions, or placement fees have been or will be payable in connection with the purchase of Founder Shares. Except as described in the Registration Statement, none of the Founder Shares may be sold, assigned or transferred by the Sponsor or any of its transferees prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “Initial Shareholders”) until the earlier of: (i) six months following the consummation of the Business Combination; or (ii) subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination, the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination, that results in all of the Company’s public shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period after the initial Business Combination, 50% of the Founder Shares will be released from such transfer restrictions. The holders of Founder Shares shall have no right to any liquidating distributions with respect to any portion of the Founder Shares in the event the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the period of time as provided in its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The holders of the Founder Shares shall not have redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares. In the event that the Over-allotment Option is not exercised in full, the Sponsor will be required to forfeit such number of Founder Shares (up to 187,500 Founder Shares) such that the Founder Shares then outstanding will comprise approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (excluding the Placement Shares (as defined below) and the Representative Shares (as defined below)) after giving effect to the Offering and exercise, if any, of the Over-allotment Option.
Pre-Emptive Right (a) The Company hereby grants to each Initial Shareholder (each, a “Pre-emptive Shareholder”) the right to purchase its pro rata portion of any new Common Shares (other than any Excluded Securities) (the “New Securities”) that the Company may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any Person. (b) The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance described in subsection (a) above to the Pre-emptive Shareholders within five Business Days following any meeting of the Board at which any such issuance or sale is approved. The Issuance Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance, including: (i) the number of New Securities proposed to be issued and the percentage of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, on a fully diluted basis, that such issuance would represent; (ii) the proposed issuance date, which shall be at least 20 Business Days from the date of the Issuance Notice; and (iii) the proposed purchase price per share. (c) Each Pre-emptive Shareholder shall for a period of 15 Business Days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Exercise Period”) have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase, at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice, up to the amount of New Securities equal to the product of (x) the total number of New Securities to be issued by the Company on the issuance date and (y) a fraction determined by dividing (A) the number of Common Shares owned by such Pre-emptive Shareholder immediately prior to such issuance by (B) the total number of Common Shares owned by all Initial Shareholders on such date immediately prior to such issuance (the “Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion”) by delivering a written notice to the Company. Such Pre-emptive Shareholder’s election to purchase New Securities shall be binding and irrevocable. (d) No later than five Business Days following the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Company shall notify each Pre-emptive Shareholder in writing of the number of New Securities that each Pre-emptive Shareholder has agreed to purchase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such number is zero) (the “Over-allotment Notice”). Each Pre-emptive Shareholder exercising its right to purchase its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities in full (an “Exercising Shareholder”) shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any other Pre-emptive Shareholder fails to exercise its right under this Section 4.01 to purchase its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities (each, a “Non-Exercising Shareholder”), such Exercising Shareholder may purchase all or any portion of such Non-Exercising Shareholder’s allotment (the “Over-allotment New Securities”) by giving written notice to the Company (within five Business Days of receipt of the Over-allotment Notice) setting forth the number of Over-allotment New Securities that such Exercising Shareholder is willing to purchase (the “Over-allotment Exercise Period”). Such Exercising Shareholder’s election to purchase Over-allotment New Securities shall be binding and irrevocable. If more than one Exercising Shareholder elects to exercise its right of over-allotment, each Exercising Shareholder shall have the right to purchase the number of Over-allotment New Securities it elected to purchase in its written notice; provided, that if the over-allotment New Securities are over-subscribed, each Exercising Shareholder shall purchase its pro rata portion of the available Over-allotment New Securities based upon the relative Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portions of the Exercising Shareholders. (e) The Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in the Issuance Notice with respect to any New Securities not elected to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.01(c) and Section 4.01(d) above in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of New Securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced) so long as such issuance or sale is closed within 180 days after the expiration of the Over-allotment Exercise Period (subject to the extension of such 180-day period for a reasonable time not to exceed 270 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.01. (f) Upon the consummation of the issuance of any New Securities in accordance with this Section 4.01, the Company shall deliver to each Exercising Shareholder certificates (if any) evidencing the New Securities, which New Securities shall be issued free and clear of any Liens (other than those arising hereunder or under Applicable Law and those attributable to the actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to the Exercising Shareholders and after payment therefor, duly authorized and validly issued. Each Exercising Shareholder shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale including entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate.
