At the Effective Time, immediately following the consummation of the Share Exchange, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, HUDA and Merger Sub shall consummate the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into HUDA with HUDA being the surviving entity, at which time the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and HUDA shall continue as the surviving corporation. HUDA, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation” (provided, that references to HUDA for periods after the Effective Time shall include the Surviving Corporation).

1.2 Effective Time. HUDA and Merger Sub shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), for the merger of Merger Sub with and into HUDA (the time of such filings, or such later time as may be specified in the Certificate of Merger, being the “Effective Time”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Effective Time shall in all events be after the time at which the Share Exchange has been consummated in accordance with Article II.

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties, immunities and obligations of Merger Sub shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties, immunities and obligations of the Surviving Corporation (including all rights and obligations with respect to the Trust Account), which shall include the assumption by the Surviving Corporation of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Merger Sub as set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Effective Time, and all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties, immunities and obligations of HUDA (as the Surviving Corporation) shall continue unaffected by the Merger, and the Surviving Corporation shall continue its existence as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Pubco.

1.4 Organizational Documents of Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, certificate of incorporation and bylaws of HUDA, each as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated to read in their entirety in the form of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, respectively and, as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until the same may be thereafter further amended and/or restated in accordance with their terms and the Delaware Act.

1.5 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the board of directors and executive officers of HUDA shall resign and the board of directors and the executive officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the board of directors and executive officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

1.6 Effect of Merger on Issued Securities of HUDA. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of securities of HUDA, Pubco or Merger Sub (other than the filing of documents required by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or as otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law):

(a) HUDA Units. At the Effective Time, every issued and outstanding HUDA Unit shall be automatically detached, and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one (1) share of HUDA Common Stock and one (1) HUDA Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable HUDA Unit, which underlying HUDA Securities shall be converted in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 1.6 below.

(b) HUDA Common Stock. At the Effective Time, every issued and outstanding share of HUDA Common Stock (other than those described in Section 1.6(d) below) that is not redeemed or converted in the Redemption shall become and be converted automatically into the right to receive one (1) Pubco Ordinary Share, following which, all shares of HUDA Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing shares of HUDA Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as provided herein or by Law. Each certificate previously evidencing shares of HUDA Common Stock shall be exchanged for a certificate (if requested) representing the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.7. Each certificate formerly representing shares of HUDA Common Stock (other those described in Section 1.6(d) below) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

(c) HUDA Rights. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding HUDA Right shall be automatically converted into the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares that would have been received by the holder thereof if such HUDA Right had been converted upon the consummation of a Business Combination in accordance with HUDA’s Organizational Documents, the IPO Prospectus and the Rights Agreement into shares of HUDA Common Stock, but for such purposes treating it as if such Business Combination had occurred at the Effective Time and the shares of HUDA Common Stock issued upon conversion of the HUDA Rights had then automatically been converted into Pubco Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 1.6(b) above. At the Effective Time, the HUDA Rights shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing HUDA Rights outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such HUDA Rights, except as provided herein or by Law. Each certificate formerly representing HUDA Rights shall thereafter represent only the right to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares as set forth herein.

(d) Cancellation of Capital Stock Owned by HUDA. At the Effective Time, if there are any shares of capital stock of HUDA that are owned by HUDA as treasury shares or by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of HUDA, such shares shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for securities of HUDA is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to HUDA or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for securities of HUDA in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of HUDA or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.6, none of the Surviving Corporation, Pubco or any other Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.7 Effect of Merger on Merger Sub and Pubco Capital Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any equityholder of HUDA, Pubco or Merger Sub, (a) all of the shares of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an equal number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation; and (b) all of the shares of Pubco issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

1.8 Surrender of HUDA Certificates. All securities issued upon the surrender of HUDA Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of HUDA Securities shall also apply to the Pubco Ordinary Shares so issued in exchange.

1.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed HUDA Certificates. In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Pubco shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.10 Tax Consequences. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Merger and the Share Exchange, taken together, are intended to qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. The Parties hereby agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with such characterization unless otherwise required pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and Tax advice with respect to the Transactions, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Merger and the Share Exchange, taken together, does not qualify under Section 351 of the Code.

1.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of HUDA and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of HUDA and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective entities to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

(b) The Proxy Statement shall include proxy materials for the purpose of soliciting proxies from HUDA shareholders to vote, at a special meeting of HUDA stockholders to be called and held for such purpose (the “Special Stockholder Meeting”), in favor of resolutions approving (A) the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Transactions (including, to the extent required, the issuance of the Exchange Shares and any securities in any Transaction Financing), by the holders of HUDA Common Stock in accordance with HUDA’s Organizational Documents, the DGCL and the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq, (B) to the extent required by the Federal Securities Laws or the Laws of the British Virgin Islands, the adoption of the Amended Pubco M&A, (C) the adoption and approval of a new equity incentive plan for Pubco, which will be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and HUDA and which will provide that the total awards under such equity incentive plan will be a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate number of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing (or such other percentage as reasonably agreed by HUDA, the Company, and Pubco prior to the Registration Effective Date), (D) the appointment of the members of the Post-Closing Pubco Board, in each case in accordance with Section 8.14 hereof, (E) the approval of an amendment to the Insider Letter, effective upon the Closing, to provide that up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement in exchange for the Founder Shares, HUDA Private Units, HUDA Private Shares and HUDA Rights, when added together with the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement in satisfaction of the Converted Sponsor Loans, will be released from the restrictions on Transfer (as defined in the Insider Letter) set forth therein (the “Insider Letter Amendment Approval”), (F) such other matters as the Company, Pubco and HUDA shall hereafter mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Transactions (the approvals described in foregoing clauses (A) through (F), collectively, the “Stockholder Approval Matters”, and (G) the adjournment of the Special Stockholder Meeting, if necessary or desirable in the reasonable determination of HUDA.

The HUDA Board shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, fail to make, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, fail to make, qualify or modify, the HUDA Recommendation. Without the prior written consent of the Company, HUDA shall not be entitled to postpone or adjourn the Special Stockholder Meeting except: (i) to the extent required by applicable Law; (ii) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that HUDA has determined in good faith is required by applicable Law is disclosed to HUDA stockholders with sufficient time prior to the Special Stockholder Meeting for HUDA stockholders to consider the disclosures contained in such supplement or amendment; (iii) if, as of the time for which the Special Stockholder Meeting is scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement or its supplement), there are insufficient shares of HUDA Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Special Stockholder Meeting; or (iv) in order to solicit additional proxies from HUDA stockholders required to obtain the Required HUDA Stockholder Approval; provided, that, in the event of a postponement or adjournment, the Special Stockholder Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matter causing the postponement or adjournment has been resolved and HUDA may make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Special Stockholder Meeting in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further that, such postponement or adjournment cannot extend more than five (5) Business Days in the aggregate without the Company’s prior written consent.

(d) In connection with the Registration Statement, HUDA and Pubco will file with the SEC financial and other information about the Transactions in accordance with applicable Law, HUDA’s Organizational Documents, Pubco’s Organizational Documents, the Laws of the British Virgin Islands, the DGCL and the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. HUDA and Pubco shall cooperate and provide the Company (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto, and will obtain the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in any case, prior to filing the same with the SEC. The Company Entities shall provide HUDA with such reasonable information concerning the Company Entities and their respective Subsidiaries and their equity holders, officers, directors, employees, assets, Liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), business and operations that may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto.

(e) HUDA and Pubco shall take any and all reasonable and necessary actions required to satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the Special Stockholder Meeting and the Redemption. Each of HUDA, Pubco and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, make their respective directors, officers and employees, upon reasonable advance notice, available to the other Parties and their respective Representatives in connection with the drafting of the public filings with respect to the Transactions, including the Registration Statement, and responding in a timely manner to comments from the SEC. Each Party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such Party has become aware that such information has become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. HUDA and Pubco shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and Pubco shall (at the sole cost and expense of HUDA) file the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to HUDA’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and HUDA’s Organizational Documents; provided, that neither HUDA nor Pubco shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f) HUDA and Pubco, with the assistance of the other Parties, shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Registration Statement and shall otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to “clear” comments from the SEC and become effective.

(g) As soon as practicable following the Registration Statement “clearing” comments from the SEC and becoming effective, HUDA and Pubco shall distribute the Registration Statement to HUDA’s shareholders and, HUDA shall call the Special Stockholder Meeting in accordance with the DGCL for a date as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days, after the Registration Statement Effective Date.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of HUDA, Pubco and the Company hereby agree that, without the prior written consent of HUDA, Pubco and the Company, it will not accept or consent to a Seller Joinder executed by a holder of Company Shares (other than those that are expected to be a Pubco Insider immediately after the Closing) which is dated prior to the Registration Statement Effective Date or which does not contain an acknowledgement by such holder of Company Shares that it has received the Proxy Statement prospectus with respect to the Transactions.

(i) HUDA and Pubco shall comply with all applicable Laws, any applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, HUDA’s Organizational Documents and this Agreement in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement, any solicitation of proxies thereunder, the calling and holding of the Special Stockholder Meeting and the Redemption.

For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Pubco shall cause the Organizational Documents of each Company Entity and HUDA to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification of and advancement of expenses to D&O Indemnified Persons than are set forth as of the Signing Date in the Organizational Documents of the applicable Party to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Pubco and its Subsidiaries will be solely responsible for any HUDA Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities other than the Required HUDA Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities.

8.17 Redemptions; Transaction Financing.

(a) During the Interim Period, HUDA will use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of funds in the Trust Account that are redeemed by Public Stockholders in the Redemption.

(b) Without limiting anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during the Interim Period, HUDA, the Company and Pubco shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to seek and enter into financing agreements (“Financing Agreements”) for an aggregate of at least $100 million in proceeds on such terms and structuring, and using such strategy, placement agents and approach, as HUDA and the Company shall mutually agree (collectively, the “Transaction Financing”), and HUDA, the Company and Pubco shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the others in connection with such Financing Agreements. The Transaction Financing may be structured as common equity, convertible preferred equity, convertible debt, non-redemption or backstop arrangements with respect to the Trust Account and/or other sources of cash proceeds to be received at or prior to the Closing, in each case, whether such investment is into HUDA, the Company or Pubco.

(c) Except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreements or otherwise approved in writing by the Company and HUDA, and except for any of the following actions that would not materially increase conditionality or impose any new material obligation on the Company, Pubco or HUDA, during the Interim Period HUDA, the Company and Pubco shall not (i) reduce the committed investment amount to be received by HUDA, Pubco or the Company under any Financing Agreement or reduce or impair the rights of HUDA, the Company or Pubco under any Financing Agreement or (ii) permit any amendment or modification to be made to, any waiver (in whole or in part) of, or provide consent to modify (including consent to terminate), any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, any of the Financing Agreements, in each case, other than any assignment or transfer contemplated therein or expressly permitted thereby (without any further amendment, modification or waiver to such assignment or transfer provision). HUDA, Pubco and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Transaction Financing in accordance with the Financing Agreements.

8.18 Nasdaq Capital Market Listing. HUDA, Pubco and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause, as promptly as practicable after the Signing Date, but in no event later than the Closing Date: (a) Pubco’s initial listing application with Nasdaq in connection with the Transactions to have been approved; (b) Pubco to satisfy all applicable initial and continuing listing requirements of Nasdaq (provided, that, without limiting the obligations of Pubco, the Company and the Signing Seller with respect to the Signing Seller Distribution, HUDA, Pubco and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to and take all reasonable actions necessary to ensure that Pubco has a sufficient number of shareholders to meet the initial listing requirements of Nasdaq and any costs or expenses incurred to comply with this exchange requirement shall be for the account of the HUDA and shall be a HUDA Closing Expense); and (c) the Pubco Ordinary Shares to have been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance. Without limiting the foregoing, the Signing Seller shall consummate the Signing Seller Distribution in accordance with Section 8.11(a) and the Registration Statement effective upon the Closing, and the other Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Signing Seller in the Signing Seller Distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parent Shareholders that are Unlocked Company Shareholders will receive the Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Signing Seller Distribution free of the restrictions set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that HUDA, the Company and Pubco, acting reasonably, determine prior to the Closing that Pubco as of the Closing will not satisfy the Nasdaq listing requirements for the Pubco Ordinary Shares due to the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares held by Sellers and Parent Shareholders that have executed, or are required under this Agreement to execute, Lock-Up Agreements, the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares to be held by Unlocked Company Shareholders and, if applicable, the number of Unlocked Company Shareholders shall be increased (with such allocation amongst the Unlocked Company Shareholders as reasonably determined by the Company prior to the Closing), including by terminating or waiving, or waiving the requirements to sign, certain of the Lock-Up Agreements signed by the Unlocked Company Shareholders and/or reducing or waiving the number of shares subject to restrictions on transfer pursuant to such Lock-Up Agreements.

8.19 HUDA Extensions. HUDA Agrees that during the Interim Period, HUDA will exercise its right under the HUDA Charter each month to extend the date by which HUDA must effect a Business Combination for an additional month beyond January 25, 2025 in accordance with the HUDA Charter (each, a “HUDA Extension”).

8.20 HUDA Bridge Advance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the HUDA Bridge Advance was made by the Signing Seller to the Company, and then from the Company to HUDA, as interest-free loans to HUDA of $1,000,000 on May 14, 2024 and $500,000 on September 12, 2024. HUDA hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that the proceeds from the HUDA Bridge Advance have been and will be used solely for purposes of maintaining HUDA as a public company and to implement the consummation of the Transactions. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(d), the Bridge Advance Amount will be repaid by the Sponsor and the Sponsor Guarantor on behalf of HUDA as described in Section 10.2 and the Sponsor Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing for any other reason, HUDA, the Sponsor and the Sponsor Guarantor will not be responsible for repaying the HUDA Bridge Advance to the Company, but if this Agreement is terminated by HUDA pursuant to Section 10.1(e), the Company will be responsible to pay the Bridge Advance Amount to the Signing Seller. Upon the Closing, Pubco shall pay the Bridge Advance Amount to the Signing Seller.

8.21 Company Shareholder Approval. As promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement Effective Date, the Company will either (i) call a meeting of Company Shareholders in order to obtain the Required Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from the Company Shareholders proxies in favor of the Required Company Shareholder Approval prior to such Company Shareholder Meeting, or (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a signed written consent in lieu of a meeting of Company Shareholders for the Required Company Shareholder Approval, and the Company shall take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the Required Company Shareholder Approval, including enforcing the provisions of Section 2.6 of this Agreement.

8.22 Delivery of Share Transfer Agreement. Each Seller hereby covenants and agrees that prior to the Closing, such Seller shall deliver to the Company and Pubco a copy of the fully executed Share Transfer Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit E hereto.

8.23 HUDA Rights Amendment. The Parties acknowledge that HUDA intends to amend the Rights Agreement to decrease the number of shares issuable upon the consummation by HUDA of its Business Combination from one-fifth (1/5^th) of a share of HUDA Common Stock to one-fiftieth (1/50^th) of a share of HUDA Common Stock (the “Rights Amendment”). HUDA shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as practicable after the Signing Date, (i) obtain the approval of the Rights Amendment by the holders of HUDA Rights to (ii) otherwise effect the Rights Amendment, including filing with the SEC a proxy statement of HUDA (the “Rights Amendment Proxy Statement”) to call a meeting of the holders of HUDA Rights (or seek the written consent of the holders of HUDA Rights) to approve the Rights Amendment, using its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Rights Amendment Proxy Statement “clear” comments with the SEC, sending a copy of the Rights Amendment Proxy Statement to the holders of HUDA Rights, and holding a meeting of the holders of HUDA Rights (or seek the written consent of the holders of HUDA Rights), in each case, as promptly as practicable after the Signing Date. HUDA shall ensure that the information contained in the Rights Amendment Proxy Statement does not, as of the date on which it is distributed to the holders of HUDA Rights, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and that the Rights Amendment Proxy Statement will comply in all material respects with all Laws applicable thereto, including all rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. HUDA shall promptly furnish to the Company copies of any notices or other communications and correspondence received by HUDA or its Affiliates from any Governmental Authority, including the SEC, with respect to or otherwise relating to the Rights Amendment Proxy Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to obtain the Rights Amendment will not affect the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Closing (other than under Section 9.2(b) with respect to a breach by HUDA of its obligations under this Section 8.23).

TRUST WAIVER

11.1 Waiver of Claims Against Trust. Reference is made to the IPO Prospectus. Each of the Company Entities and each Seller understands that HUDA has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by HUDA’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of HUDA’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by HUDA’s underwriters) (the “Public Stockholders”) and that HUDA may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares of HUDA Common Stock (or Pubco Ordinary Shares upon the Merger) in connection with the consummation of its initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (“Business Combination”) or in connection with an amendment to HUDA’s Organizational documents to extend HUDA’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if HUDA fails to consummate a Business Combination by January 18, 2025 (provided such date may be extended by up to an additional nine (9) months to October 18, 2025), subject to further extension by amendment to HUDA’s Organizational Documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses, and (d) to HUDA after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination, in each case, subject to the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of HUDA entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company Entities and each Seller hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company Entities or any Seller nor any of their respective Subsidiaries do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom made to Public Stockholders (“Public Distributions”), or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any Public Distributions), in any case, in based upon, related to or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Each of the Company Entities and each Seller, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that any such Party or any of its Subsidiaries may have against the Trust Account (including any Public Distributions) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any Public Distributions) for any Released Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Section 11.1, but otherwise subject to the terms of this Agreement, (A) the Company Entities or any Seller or any of their respective Subsidiaries may commence any Action upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to HUDA or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against HUDA or its Representatives, against assets or funds held outside of the Trust Account (including any funds released from the Trust Account and assets that are acquired with such funds other than the Public Distributions); provided that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account or any amounts contained therein or Public Distributions, and (B) nothing in this Section 11.1 shall limit or prohibit the Company Entities, any Seller or any of their respective Subsidiaries from pursuing a claim against HUDA for specific performance or other equitable relief. This Section 11.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Article XII

12.4 Third Parties.

For the avoidance of doubt, no shareholder of Pubco after the Closing (in his, her or its capacity as such) is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or shall have any rights hereunder.

12.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

Each Party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the Transactions, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party at the applicable address set forth in Section 12.1. Nothing in this Section 12.5 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

12.6 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.6.

12.7 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the Transactions are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction, restraining order or other equitable remedy to prevent or remedy any breach of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in each case, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

12.8 Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by HUDA, Pubco, the Company and Sellers holding in the aggregate a Pro Rata Share in excess of fifty percent (50%); provided that no amendment, supplementation or modification shall affect a Seller in a manner materially and disproportionately adverse to the other Sellers without the prior written consent of such Seller.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

12.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents or instruments referred to herein, including any exhibits, annexes and schedules attached hereto, which exhibits, annexes and schedules are incorporated herein by reference, together with the Ancillary Documents, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.
