The WCL Note I bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 10% of the outstanding principal balance. The WCL Note I is payable in full upon the earlier of (i) 90 days after the consummation of the Company’s business combination, or (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company (such date, the “Maturity Date”). Any of the following will constitute an event of default under the WCL Note I: (i) a failure to pay the outstanding principal balance within five (5) business days of the Maturity Date; (ii) the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action; (iii) the breach of any of Company’s obligations under the WCL Note I; (iv) any cross defaults; (v) an enforcement proceeding against the Company; or (vi) it is or becomes unlawful for the Company to perform any of its obligations under the WCL Note I, or any obligations of the Company under the WCL Note I are not or cease to be legal, valid, binding or enforceable.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default specified in (ii), (iv), (v), or (vi) above, the outstanding principal balance of the WCL Note I, and all other sums payable under the WCL Note I, will automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action on the part of Mr. Sham.
Mr. Sham has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the WCL Note I, in whole or in part, respectively, into Units (as defined in the WCL Note I) of the Company, that are identical to the public units of the Company, subject to certain exceptions, as described in the proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-275933), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 7, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on May 10, 2024, by providing the Company with written notice of the intention to convert at least two (2) business days prior to the closing of the Company’s business combination. The number of Units to be received by Mr. Sham in connection with such conversion will be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to Mr. Sham by (y) $10.00.

The terms and conditions of the WCL Note II and WCL Note III are substantially identical to the WCL Note I, except, among other things, that (1) the WCL Note II and WCL Note III bear no interest; and (2) the WCL Note II and WCL Note III are payable in full upon the earlier of (i) 30 days after the consummation of the Company’s business combination, or (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company.
