INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Overview
Business Combination
On September 26, 2024 (the
“Closing”), Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ACAC”) consummated the previously announced
business combination pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination
Agreement”), by and among ACAC, Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of ACAC (prior
to the Closing, the “Purchaser”, and after the Closing, the “New Foxx”, the “Company”, “we”
or “us”), Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger
Sub”), and Foxx Development Inc., a Texas corporation (“Foxx”), pursuant to which (i) ACAC merged with and into Purchaser
(the “Reincorporation Merger”), and (ii) Foxx merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger”). The Reincorporation Merger, the Acquisition Merger, and the transactions
contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement, are collectively referred to as the “Business Combination”.
This Current Report on Form
8-K references and incorporates by reference certain sections in the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus dated as of, and filed
by New Foxx with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 29, 2024, relating to the Business Combination
(File No. 333-280613, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”).
At the special meeting of
ACAC stockholders held on August 27, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”), ACAC stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters,
the Business Combination Agreement and the other proposals related thereto described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
In accordance with the terms
and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement:
| ● | Immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger
(the “Reincorporation Merger Effective Time”), which was on September 25, 2024, one business day prior to the Closing, (i) each
issued and outstanding ACAC unit was automatically separated into one (1) share of ACAC Class A common stock and one-half (1/2)
of one ACAC warrant, and (ii) each share of ACAC Class A common stock held by ACAC stockholders who validly redeemed their shares of ACAC
Class A common stock (each “ACAC Redeeming Share”) was automatically cancelled and ceased to exist and thereafter represented
only the right to be paid a pro-rata redemption price. |
| ● | At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time (on September 25, 2024),
(i) each share of ACAC Class A or Class B common stock issued and outstanding (other than ACAC Redeeming Shares) was converted automatically
into one (1) share of common stock of New Foxx, par value $0.0001 per share (the “New Foxx Common Stock”), and (ii) each
issued and outstanding ACAC warrant was converted automatically into one (1) redeemable warrant of New Foxx, exercisable for one (1) share
of New Foxx Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “New Foxx Warrant”). |
| ● | At the Closing (on September 26, 2024), by virtue of the Acquisition
Merger and the Business Combination Agreement, and without any action on the part of any party to the Business Combination Agreement or
affiliate or security thereof, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Foxx (“Foxx Common Stock”) held by exiting
holders of Foxx common stock (the “Foxx Stockholders”) immediately prior to the Closing (including shares of Foxx Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the principal and accrued interest of promissory notes of Foxx issued in the Transaction Financing, as defined
below) were cancelled and automatically converted into (i) the right to receive, without interest, the applicable portion of 5,000,000
shares of New Foxx Common Stock (the “Closing Payment Stock”, 500,000 of which are subject to the Escrow Arrangement noted
below), and (ii) the contingent right to receive the applicable portion of the Earnout Shares (as defined below), if, as and when
payable in accordance with the earnout provisions of the Business Combination Agreement. |
Pursuant to the Business Combination
Agreement, 500,000 shares of the Closing Payment Stock in aggregate will be deposited (the “Escrow Arrangement”) to a
segregated escrow account and released to the Foxx Stockholders if and only if, prior to or upon the one-year anniversary of the
Business Combination Agreement, the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) managed by the U.S. Federal Communication Commission is reauthorized
by the U.S. Congress with funding of no less than $4 billion in total for such reauthorized period; or otherwise be cancelled and
forfeited by New Foxx (as defined below) without consideration.
Additionally, the Foxx Stockholders
may be entitled to receive “Earnout Shares”, which refer to 4,200,000 shares of New Foxx Common Stock, subject to the
vesting schedule as follows:

provided, however, that the Earnout

Following the Closing of the
Business Combination, Purchaser changed its corporate name to Foxx Development Holdings Inc. In addition, the Merger Sub changed its name
to “Foxx Development Inc.” (“New Foxx Operating Co”).
The ACAC securities previously
traded on Nasdaq were delisted without any action needed to be taken on the part of the holders of such securities and are no longer traded
on Nasdaq following the Closing. On September 27, 2024, one business day after the Closing, the New Foxx Common Stock and the New Foxx
Warrant became listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under trading symbols “FOXX” and “FOXXW,”
respectively.
In addition, pursuant to that
certain amendment to the Underwriting Agreement, by and between EF Hutton LLC and ACAC, dated February 20, 2024, 43,125 shares of New
Foxx Common Stock were issued to EF Hutton LLC at the Closing.
Shares outstanding as presented
in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 include 5,000,000 shares of Common
Stock issued to Foxx Stockholders (including to Transaction Financing Investors, as defined below), 70,721 shares of Common Stock held
by ACAC public stockholders (reflecting the Redemption as defined under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K), 2,156,250 shares
held by ACAC’s initial stockholders, and 43,125 shares of New Foxx Common Stock issued to EF Hutton LLC.
Upon the Closing and after
giving effect to the Transactions (as defined under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K) and the Redemption, the former officers
and directors of Foxx and Foxx Stockholders beneficially owned approximately 68.8% of the outstanding shares of New Foxx Common Stock,
and the former security holders of ACAC beneficially owned approximately 30.7% of the outstanding shares of New Foxx Common Stock.
New Foxx received gross proceeds
of approximately $16.6 million in connection with the Business Combination, which included $15.0 million in gross proceeds raised through
the Transaction Financing (as defined below), funds held in ACAC’s trust account of $1.6 million (net of Redemptions in connection
with the Special Meeting), New Foxx expects the proceeds from this transaction, combined with cash on hand, to fund operations into 2025.
A more detailed description
of the Business Combination and the terms of the Business Combination Agreement is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The foregoing
description of the Business Combination Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Business
Combination Agreement, which is filed as Exhibits 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Transaction Financing
In consideration of market
conditions, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the parties agreed to use commercially best efforts to secure financing to
pay transaction expense and working capital of New Foxx, including without limitation, a PIPE financing, private financing, redemption
waiver, convertible debt, forward purchase agreement, backstop, or equity line of credit (collectively, the “Transaction Financing”).
In June 2023, Foxx issued a promissory note (“Note 1”)
to New Bay Capital Limited, a Hong Kong registered entity, in the principal amount of $2 million with an interest rate of 7%
per annum, convertible into shares of Foxx common stock at $30.00 per share upon the listing of Foxx common stock through an initial public
offering. In November 2023, Foxx issued another promissory note (“Note 2”) in the amount of $2 million under the same
terms and conditions as Note 1.
In connection with the Business
Combination, in the spring of 2024, Foxx and ACAC reached out to New Bay Capital Limited (“New Bay”), to seek its interest
in participating in the Transaction Financing. After negotiations with New Bay, the parties agreed to amend Note 1 and Note 2 to remove
the lock-up provision as provided therein and allow the principal and accrued interests on Note 1 and Note 2 to convert immediately
prior to the Closing of the Business Combination. New Bay also committed to providing another $2 million of financing.
On March 15, 2024, Foxx
and New Bay amended the terms of the Note 1 and Note 2 accordingly and New Bay subscribed for a new promissory note (“Note 3”)
in the principal amount of $2 million under the same terms and conditions as amended Note 1 and Note 2 (collectively “New
Bay Notes”).
On February 20, 2024,
New Bay introduced Foxx to BR Technologies PTE, Ltd. (“BR Technologies”), a Singapore-based company. On May 30,
2024, Foxx, BR Technologies and Grazyna Plawinski Limited (“Grazyna”) entered into a securities purchase agreement for issuance
of promissory notes in the amount of up to $9.0 million with an interest rate of 7% per annum under the same terms and conditions
as provided in the New Bay Notes. Promissory notes were issued to BR Technologies (the “Note 4”) in the principal amount of
$6 million and Grazyna (the “Note 5”) in the principal amount of $3 million respectively on September 12, 2024.
Immediately prior to the Closing,
all the accrued and unpaid principal and interests on the New Bay Notes, Note 4, and Note 5 were converted into: (x) 212,050 shares of
Foxx common stock for the New Bay Notes, (y) 200,882 shares of Foxx common stock for Note 4, and (z) 100,690 share of Foxx common stock
for Note 5, at a price of $30.00 per share. At the Closing, all of the converted shares of Foxx common stock were cancelled in exchange
for the holders’ pro rata share of the Closing Payment Shares, resulting in (x) 700,473 shares of New Foxx Common Stock issued to
New Bay, (y) 663,581 shares of New Foxx Common Stock issued to BR Technologies, and (z) 332,614 shares of New Foxx Common Stock issued
to Grazyna.
The issuance of the New Bay
Notes, Note 4 and Note 5 constituted the Transaction Financing.
The foregoing description
of the Transaction Financing is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the securities purchase agreements
associated with each notes, the New Bay Notes, Note 4, Note 5 and the relevant conversion notices, which are filed as Exhibits 10.16-25
respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

of New Foxx.

Agreement, the board of directors of Purchaser, and ACAC, as the sole stockholder of Purchaser, adopted and approved a 2024 Equity Incentive
Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which became effective upon the Closing.
The Incentive Plan is administered

(b) The

restrictions or conditions that preclude or limit the exercise, transfer, receipt or holding of such rights or options by any person or
persons, including any person or persons owning (beneficially or of record) or offering to acquire a specified number or percentage of
the outstanding shares of any class or series, or any transferee or transferees of any such person or persons, or that invalidate or void
such rights or options held by any such person or persons or any such transferee or transferees.
ARTICLE V
Section 5.1 General Powers.
The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. In addition to the powers
and authority expressly conferred upon the Board by statute, this Certificate or the Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) of the Corporation,
the Board is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation,
subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Certificate and any Bylaws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however,
that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws
had not been adopted.
Section 5.2 Number.
Unless otherwise set forth herein, the number of directors that constitute the Board of Directors shall be fixed by, from time to time
exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, or in the manner provided in, the Bylaws of the
Corporation.
Section 5.3 Election.
Unless and except to the extent that the Bylaws shall so require, the election of directors need not be by written ballot.
Section 5.4 Term.
A director shall hold office until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier
death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
Section 5.5 Interested
Directors. No contract or other transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors, or between the Corporation and
any other corporation, firm, association or other entity in which one or more of the directors are directors or officers, or are financially
interested, shall be either void or voidable because of such relationship or interest or because such director or directors are present
at the meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction or
because his or her votes are counted for such purpose, if:
(a) The fact of such
relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Board of Directors, or a duly empowered committee thereof, which authorizes,
approves or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for such purpose without counting the vote or votes
of such interested director or directors; or
(b) The
fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve or ratify
such contract or transaction by vote or written consent; or
(c) The
contract or transaction is fair and reasonable as to the Corporation at the time it is authorized by the Board of Directors, committee
or the stockholders.
Section 5.6 Quorum.
Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee
thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies a contract or transaction described in Section 5.7.
Section 5.7 Corporate Power.
In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered
to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to
the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of this Certificate, and to any Bylaws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided,
however, that no Bylaws so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been
made.
Section 5.8 Director’s
Authority and Transactions. A director of the Corporation may transact business, borrow, lend, or otherwise deal or contract with
the Corporation to the fullest extent and subject only to the limitations and provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware and the
laws of the United States.
Section 5.9 Approval and
Ratification. The Board of Directors in its discretion may (but shall not be required to) submit any contract or act for approval
or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering
any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the
stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful
quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the
stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would
otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.
Section 5.10 Newly Created
Directorships and Vacancies. Newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on
the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively
by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by
stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the
new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however,
to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
Section 5.11 Removal.
Except as otherwise required by this Certificate, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause
and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
ARTICLE VI
In furtherance and not in
limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board shall have the power and is expressly authorized to adopt, amend, alter or
repeal the Bylaws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The
Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders; provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders
of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders
to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws; and provided further, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall
invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.
ARTICLE VII
Section 7.1 Meetings. Subject to the rights,
if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock (if and to the extent shares or series of such stock are designated and issued),
and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairman of the
Board, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, and the ability
of the stockholders to call a special meeting is hereby specifically denied. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, special meetings
of stockholders may not be called by another person or persons.
Section 7.2 Advance Notice.
Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting
of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws.
Section 7.3 Action by Written Consent. Except
as may be otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted
to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and
may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders.
ARTICLE VIII
Section 8.1 Limitation of Director Liability.
A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL
as the same exists or may hereafter be amended unless they violated their duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, acted
in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful
redemptions, or derived improper personal benefit from their actions as directors. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing
sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission
occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.
Section 8.2 Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
(a) To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold
harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”)
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the
Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit
plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director,
officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability
and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties
and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to
the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in
defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent
required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon
receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined
that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and
advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and
administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to
indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection
with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the
Board.
(b) The
rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other
rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Amended and Restated Certificate, the By-Laws, an agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
(c) Any
repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision
of this Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only
(except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive
basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time
of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding
is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment
or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
(d) This
Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify
and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.
ARTICLE IX
The corporation shall not be governed or subject to Section
203 of the DGCL.
ARTICLE X
To the extent allowed by law, the doctrine
of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or
directors, or any of their respective affiliates, in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with
any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation or in the future, and the Corporation renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of the
Corporation will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to the Corporation, except, the doctrine
of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Corporation with respect to a corporate
opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and (i) such
opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the
Corporation to pursue and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to the Corporation without violating
any legal obligation.
ARTICLE XI
The Corporation reserves the right at any time
and from time to time to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force that may be added or inserted, in the manner
now or hereafter prescribed by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL; and, except as set forth in Article
XI, all rights, preferences and privileges of whatever nature herein conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons by and
pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to
the right reserved in this Article XI.
ARTICLE XII
Section 12.1 Forum.
Subject to the last sentence in this Section 12.1, and unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative
forum, to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive
forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation,
(ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to
the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers
or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, or
(iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine
and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such
stockholder’s counsel except any action (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that there is
an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the
personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction
of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the provisions of this Section 12.1 will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty
created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction and (ii) to the fullest extent
permitted by the applicable law, the federal district courts of the United States of America for the District of Delaware and the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 12.2 Consent to
Jurisdiction. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of Section 12.1 immediately above is filed in a court
other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such
stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the
State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce Section 12.1 immediately above (an “FSC
Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such FSC Enforcement Action by
service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.
Section 12.3 Severability.
If any provision or provisions of this Article XII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity
or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of
such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article XII (including, without limitation, each portion
of any sentence of this Article XII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock
of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article XII.

Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock of the Corporation (if and to the extent shares
or series of such stock are designated and issued), and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders, for any
purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted
by a majority of the Board, and may not be called by any other person. Special meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either
within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Corporation’s
notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but
may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a).
Section 2.3. Notices.
Written notice of each stockholders meeting stating the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting, and the means of remote communication,
if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and the record date for
determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders
entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given in the manner permitted by Section 9.3 to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat
as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, by the Corporation not less than 10 nor more
than 60 days before the date of the meeting unless otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).
If said notice is for a stockholders meeting other than an annual meeting, it shall in addition state the purpose or purposes for which
the meeting is called, and the business transacted at such meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the Corporation’s
notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). Any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be postponed, and any
meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be cancelled, by the Board upon public announcement (as defined in Section
2.7(c)) given before the date previously scheduled for such meeting.
Section 2.4. Quorum.
Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended or restated
from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy,
at a stockholders meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting
power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at such meeting, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as
a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute
a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. If a quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any
meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided
in Section 2.6 until a quorum shall attend. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until
adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Shares of its own stock belonging to the
Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of
such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum
purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any such other corporation to vote shares
held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
Section 2.5. Voting of Shares.
(a) Voting Lists. The
Secretary of the Corporation (the “Secretary”) shall prepare, or shall cause the officer or agent who has charge
of the stock ledger of the Corporation to prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of
the stockholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders
entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth
day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address and the number and class of shares registered in the
name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses
or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane
to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic
network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during
ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the
list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to
stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place
of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If a meeting of stockholders is
to be held solely by means of remote communication as permitted by Section 9.5(a), the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder
during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall
be provided with the notice of meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine
the list required by this Section 2.5(a) or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
(b) Manner of Voting.
At any stockholders meeting, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. If authorized by the Board, the voting
by stockholders or proxy holders at any meeting conducted by remote communication may be effected by a ballot submitted by electronic
transmission (as defined in Section 9.3), provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information
from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder. The Board,
in its discretion, or the chairman of the meeting of stockholders, in such person’s discretion, may require that any votes cast
at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.
(c) Proxies. Each stockholder
entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize
another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from
its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies need not be filed with the Secretary until the meeting is called to order,
but shall be filed with the Secretary before being voted. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person
or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, either of the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant
such authority. No stockholder shall have cumulative voting rights.
(i) A stockholder may execute
a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder
or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature
to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.
(ii) A stockholder may authorize
another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission
to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly
authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission
must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized
by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another
person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any
and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or
other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.
(d) Required Vote.
Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors
pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, at all meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, the election
of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the
meeting and entitled to vote thereon. All other matters presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall
be determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting
and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or
applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such
matter.
(e) Inspectors of Election.
The Board may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more persons as inspectors of election,
who may be employees of the Corporation or otherwise serve the Corporation in other capacities, to act at such meeting of stockholders
or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Board may appoint one or more persons as alternate inspectors to
replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspectors of election or alternates are appointed by the Board, the chairman of the meeting
shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign
an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors
shall ascertain and report the number of outstanding shares and the voting power of each; determine the number of shares present in person
or represented by proxy at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots and report the results; determine
and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and certify
their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. No person who is a candidate
for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by
the inspector or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector,
the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors.
Section 2.6. Adjournments.
Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting, from time to time, whether or not there
is a quorum, to reconvene at the same or some other place. Notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the date, time, and
place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present
in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting
the stockholders, or the holders of any class or series of stock entitled to vote separately as a class, as the case may be, may transact
any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, notice of the adjourned
meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders
entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance
with Section 9.2, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting
as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
Section 2.7. Advance Notice
for Business.
(a) Annual Meetings of
Stockholders. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (i) specified
in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly
brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by
any stockholder of the Corporation (x) who is a stockholder of record entitled to vote at such annual meeting on the date of the giving
of the notice provided for in this Section 2.7(a) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such
annual meeting and (y) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a). Notwithstanding anything in this Section
2.7(a) to the contrary, only persons nominated for election as a director to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date
of the annual meeting pursuant to Section 3.5 will be considered for election at such meeting.
(i) In addition to any other
applicable requirements, for business (other than nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such
stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary and such business must otherwise be a proper
matter for stockholder action. Subject to Section 2.7(a)(iii), a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary with respect to such business,
to be timely, must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business
on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual
meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days
after such anniversary date (or if there has been no prior annual meeting), notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered
not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on
the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date
of the annual meeting is first made by the Corporation. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting
shall not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section
2.7(a).
(ii) To be in proper written
form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary with respect to any business (other than nominations) must set forth as to each such
matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before
the annual meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the
event such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment) and the reasons for conducting
such business at the annual meeting, (B) the name and record address of such stockholder and the name and address of the beneficial owner,
if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (C) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are
owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (D) a
description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal
is made and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder,
(E) any material interest of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business
and (F) a representation that such stockholder (or a qualified representative of such stockholder) intends to appear in person or by proxy
at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.
(iii) The foregoing notice requirements
of this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder as to any proposal (other than nominations) if the stockholder has notified
the Corporation of such stockholder’s intention to present such proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or
any successor thereof) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such stockholder
has complied with the requirements of such Rule for inclusion of such proposal in a proxy statement prepared by the Corporation to solicit
proxies for such annual meeting. No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the
annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a), provided, however, that once business has been properly
brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to preclude discussion
by any stockholder of any such business. If the Board or the chairman of the annual meeting determines that any stockholder proposal was
not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(a) or that the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does
not satisfy the information requirements of this Section 2.7(a), such proposal shall not be presented for action at the annual meeting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7(a), if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder)
does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present the proposed business, such proposed business shall
not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the Corporation.
(iv) In addition to the provisions
of this Section 2.7(a), a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein. Nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders
to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
(b) Special Meetings of
Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting
pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting
of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting only pursuant to Section 3.5.
(c) Public Announcement. For purposes of
these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News
Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed or furnished by the Corporation with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (or any successor thereto).
Section 2.8. Conduct of
Meetings. The chairman of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be the Chairman of the Board or, in the absence (or
inability or refusal to act) of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (if he or she shall be a director) or, in the absence
(or inability or refusal to act of the Chief Executive Officer or if the Chief Executive Officer is not a director, the President (if
he or she shall be a director) or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the President or if the President is not a director,
such other person as shall be appointed by the Board. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon
which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting. The Board may adopt such
rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with
these Bylaws or such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and
authority to convene and to adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the
judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted
by the Board or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an
agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present;
(c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and
constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after
the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless
and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in
accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure. The secretary of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be the Secretary
or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary so appointed to act by the chairman of the
meeting. In the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries, the chairman of the meeting may
appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.
Section 2.9. Consents in
Lieu of Meeting. Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, until the Corporation consummates an initial public
offering (“Offering”), any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or
any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice
and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock entitled
to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting
at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered
office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book
in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by
hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
Every written consent shall
bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate
action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this section and the
DGCL to the Corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders entitled to vote to take action are delivered to the
Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation
having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered
office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
Section 3.1. Powers.
The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation

disqualification, removal from office or otherwise, or if any new directorship is created by an increase in the authorized number of directors,
a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director, may choose a successor or fill the
newly created directorship. Subject to this Section 3.3, any director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired term of his or her
predecessor in his or her office and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, unless sooner displaced. No decrease in
the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Except as prohibited by
applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, any or all directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and
only by the affirmative vote of not less than the majority the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Section 3.4. Resignation.
Any director may resign or voluntarily retire upon giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board or the Board of Directors. Such

If such retirement or resignation is effective at a future time, the Board of Directors may elect a successor to take office when the
retirement or resignation becomes effective.
Section 3.5. Advance Notice
for Nomination of Directors.
(a) Only persons who are nominated
in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation, except as may be otherwise
provided by the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock with respect to the rights of holders of one or more series of Preferred
Stock to elect directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board at any annual meeting of stockholders, or at any special meeting
of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors as set forth in the Corporation’s notice of such special meeting, may
be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation (x) who is a stockholder of record entitled

the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (y) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section
3.5.
(b) In addition to any other
applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper
written form to the Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must be received by the Secretary at the principal
executive offices of the Corporation (i) in the case of an annual meeting, not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier
than the close of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided,
however, that in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date (or if
there has been no prior annual meeting), notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the close of business
on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y)

than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting is first
made by the Corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or special meeting
commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section 3.5.
(c) Notwithstanding anything
in paragraph (b) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at an annual meeting is greater
than the number of directors whose terms expire on the date of the annual meeting and there is no public announcement by the Corporation
naming all of the nominees for the additional directors to be elected or specifying the size of the increased Board before the close of
business on the 90th day prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder’s
notice required by this Section 3.5 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships
created by such increase that are to be filled by election at such annual meeting, if it shall be received by the Secretary at the principal
executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which such public announcement
was first made by the Corporation.

by the person and (D) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other
filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice (A) the name and record address
of such stockholder as they appear on the Corporation’s books and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the nomination is made, (B) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned beneficially
and of record by such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, (C) a description of all arrangements
or understandings relating to the nomination to be made by such stockholder among such stockholder, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the nomination is made, each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names), (D) a representation that
such stockholder (or a qualified representative of such stockholder) intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate
the persons named in its notice and (E) any other information relating to such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the nomination is made that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection
with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as
a director if elected.
(e) If the Board or the chairman
of the meeting of stockholders determines that any nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5, or that
the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section 3.5, then such
nomination shall not be considered at the meeting in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5, if the stockholder
(or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present the nomination,
such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination may have been received by the Corporation.
(f) In addition to the provisions
of this Section 3.5, a stockholder shall also comply with all of the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein. Nothing in this Section 3.5 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the holders
of Preferred Stock to elect directors pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 3.6. Compensation.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation
of directors, including for service on a committee of the Board, and may be paid either a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of
the Board or other compensation as director. The directors may be reimbursed their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of
the Board. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
Members of committees of the Board may be allowed like compensation and reimbursement of expenses for service on the committee.

BOARD MEETINGS
Section 4.1. Annual Meetings.
The Board shall meet as soon as practicable after the adjournment of each annual stockholders meeting at the place of the annual stockholders

the Board. No notice to the directors shall be necessary to legally convene this meeting, except as provided in this Section 4.1.
Section 4.2. Regular Meetings.
Regularly scheduled, periodic meetings of the Board may be held without notice at such times, dates and places (within or without the
State of Delaware) as shall from time to time be determined by the Board.
Section 4.3. Special Meetings.
Special meetings of the Board (a) may be called by the Chairman of the Board or President and (b) shall be called by the Chairman of the
Board, President or Secretary on the written request of at least a majority of directors then in office, or the sole director, as the
case may be, and shall be held at such time, date and place (within or without the State of Delaware) as may be determined by the person

as may be otherwise expressly provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, neither the business to be
transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special meeting need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting. A special

Section 7.5. Lost, Destroyed or Wrongfully Taken
Certificates.
(a) If an owner of a certificate
representing shares claims that such certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Corporation shall issue a new certificate
representing such shares or such shares in uncertificated form if the owner: (i) requests such a new certificate before the Corporation
has notice that the certificate representing such shares has been acquired by a protected purchaser; (ii) if requested by the Corporation,
delivers to the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation

(b) If a certificate representing
shares has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, and the owner fails to notify the Corporation of that fact within a reasonable
time after the owner has notice of such loss, apparent destruction or wrongful taking and the Corporation registers a transfer of such
shares before receiving notification, the owner shall be precluded from asserting against the Corporation any claim for registering such
transfer or a claim to a new certificate representing such shares or such shares in uncertificated form.

shares, the endorsement is made by the person specified by the certificate as entitled to such shares; (B) with respect to uncertificated
shares, an instruction is made by the registered owner of such uncertificated shares; or (C) with respect to certificated shares or uncertificated
shares, the endorsement or instruction is made by any other appropriate person or by an agent who has actual authority to act on behalf
of the appropriate person;
(iii) the Corporation has received
a guarantee of signature of the person signing such endorsement or instruction or such other reasonable assurance that the endorsement
or instruction is genuine and authorized as the Corporation may request;
(iv) the transfer does not violate
any restriction on transfer imposed by the Corporation that is enforceable in accordance with Section 7.8(a); and
(v) such other conditions for
such transfer as shall be provided for under applicable law have been satisfied.
(b) Whenever any transfer
of shares shall be made for collateral security and not absolutely, the Corporation shall so record such fact in the entry of transfer
if, when the certificate for such shares is presented to the Corporation for transfer or, if such shares are uncertificated, when the
instruction for registration of transfer thereof is presented to the Corporation, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation
to do so.
Section 7.7. Registered
Stockholders. Before due presentment for registration of transfer of a certificate representing shares of the Corporation or of an
instruction requesting registration of transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person
exclusively entitled to inspect for any proper purpose the stock ledger and the other books and records of the Corporation, vote such
shares, receive dividends or notifications with respect to such shares and otherwise exercise all the rights and powers of the owner of
such shares, except that a person who is the beneficial owner of such shares (if held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such
person) may, upon providing documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of such shares and satisfying such other conditions as are provided
under applicable law, may also so inspect the books and records of the Corporation.

on the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of the Corporation or on the amount of shares of the Corporation that may be owned

the case of uncertificated shares, contained in a notice, offering circular or prospectus sent by the Corporation to the registered owner
of such shares within a reasonable time prior to or after the issuance or transfer of such shares, may be enforced against the holder
of such shares or any successor or transferee of the holder including an executor, administrator, trustee, guardian or other fiduciary
entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of the holder.
(b) A restriction imposed
by the Corporation on the transfer or the registration of shares of the Corporation or on the amount of shares of the Corporation that
may be owned by any person or group of persons, even if otherwise lawful, is ineffective against a person without actual knowledge of
such restriction unless: (i) the shares are certificated and such restriction is noted conspicuously on the certificate; or (ii) the shares
are uncertificated and such restriction was contained in a notice, offering circular or prospectus sent by the Corporation to the registered
owner of such shares within a reasonable time prior to or after the issuance or transfer of such shares.
Section 7.9. Regulations.
The Board shall have power and authority to make such additional rules and regulations, subject to any applicable requirement of law,
as the Board may deem necessary and appropriate with respect to the issue, transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock or
certificates representing shares. The Board may appoint one or more transfer agents or registrars and may require for the validity thereof
that certificates representing shares bear the signature of any transfer agent or registrar so appointed.
ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 8.1. Right to Indemnification.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and
hold harmless each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”),
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation,
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an
“Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director,
officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and
loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, that, except
as provided in Section 8.3 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify an Indemnitee
in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized
by the Board.
Section 8.2. Right to Reimbursement
and Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any director or officer or other person
entitled to indemnification under this Article 10, the funds necessary for payment of expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in defending or testifying in a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
suit or proceeding; provided, however, that the Corporation may pay such expenses in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined by final judicial decision that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation against such
expenses as authorized by this Article 8, and the Corporation may enter into agreements with such persons for the purpose of providing
for such advances.
Section 8.3. Right of Indemnitee
to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim
therefor has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable
period shall be 20 days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses
pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such
suit. In (a) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by an Indemnitee
to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover
an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a
final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”)
that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation
(including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders)
to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation
(including a determination by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel,
or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee
has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, shall be a defense to such suit.
In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation
to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VIII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
Section 8.4. Non-Exclusivity
of Rights. The rights provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right, which such
Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, an agreement, a vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
Section 8.5. Insurance.
The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.
Section 8.6. Indemnification
of Other Persons. This Article VIII shall not limit the right of the Corporation to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted
by law to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnitees. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, to
the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee
or agent of the Corporation and to any other person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee
benefit plan, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses
of Indemnitees under this Article VIII.
Section 8.7. Amendments.
Any repeal or amendment of this Article VIII by the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law, or the
adoption of any other provision of these Bylaws inconsistent with this Article VIII, will, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in applicable law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification
rights to Indemnitees on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right
or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent
provision; provided however, that amendments or repeals of this Article VIII shall require the affirmative vote of the stockholders holding
at least 66.7% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation.
Section 8.8. Certain Definitions.
For purposes of this Article VIII, (a) references to “other enterprise” shall include any employee benefit plan;
(b) references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit
plan; (c) references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service that imposes duties
on, or involves services by, a person with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and (d) a person
who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of
an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation” for
purposes of Section 145 of the DGCL.
Section 8.9. Contract Rights.
The rights provided to Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee
who has ceased to be a director, officer, agent or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors
and administrators.
Section 8.10. Severability.
If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a)
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each such portion
of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect
to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
Section 8.11. Non-Exclusive
Rights. The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article
8 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses
may have or hereafter be entitled under any statute, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement,
any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office.
Section 8.12. Survival.
The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article 8 shall continue
as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer (or other person indemnified hereunder) and shall inure to the benefit of the
executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.
Section 8.13. Enforceability.
The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article 8 shall be
enforceable by any person entitled to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The burden of proving that such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is not appropriate shall be on the Corporation.
Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is
proper in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel
and its stockholders) that such person is not entitled to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses shall constitute
a defense to the action or create a presumption that such person is not so entitled. Such a person shall also be indemnified for any expenses
incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses,
in whole or in part, in any such proceeding.
Section 8.14. Persons Covered.
Any director or officer of the Corporation serving in any capacity for (a) another corporation of which a majority of the shares entitled
to vote in the election of its directors is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation or (b) any employee benefit plan of the Corporation
or any corporation referred to in clause (a), shall be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Corporation.
Section 8.15. Applicable
Law. Any person entitled to be indemnified or to reimbursement or advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Article
8 may elect to have the right to indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses interpreted on the basis of the applicable
law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the applicable action, suit or proceeding, to the extent
permitted by law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of
expenses is sought. Such election shall be made, by providing notice in writing to the Corporation, at the time indemnification or reimbursement
or advancement of expenses is sought; provided, however, that if no such notice is given, the right to indemnification or reimbursement
or advancement of expenses shall be determined by the law in effect at the time indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses
is sought.
Section 8.16. Contested
Director Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Bylaws, a director who was elected in any Contested
Election who is not a continuing director shall not be entitled to any indemnification or advancement of expenses unless and until a majority
of the continuing directors vote that the indemnification provisions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation shall apply to such
newly elected director.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1. Place of Meetings.
If the place of any meeting of stockholders, the Board or committee of the Board for which notice is required under these Bylaws is not
designated in the notice of such meeting, such meeting shall be held at the principal business office of the Corporation; provided, however,
if the Board has, in its sole discretion, determined that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but instead shall be held by means
of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof, then such meeting shall not be held at any place.
Section 9.2. Fixing Record
Dates.
(a) In order that the Corporation
may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record
date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date
shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be
the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such
record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date
is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall
be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close
of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled
to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board
may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice
of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with
the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(a) at the adjourned meeting.
(b) In order that the Corporation
may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action,
the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted,
and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining
stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
Section 9.3. Means of Giving
Notice.
(a) Notice to Directors.
Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any director, such notice
shall be given either (i) in writing and sent by mail, or by a nationally recognized delivery service, (ii) by means of facsimile telecommunication
or other form of electronic transmission, or (iii) by oral notice given personally or by telephone. A notice to a director will be deemed
given as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery, orally, or by telephone, when actually received by the director, (ii) if sent through
the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at
the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized
overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s
address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iv) if sent by facsimile telecommunication, when sent to the facsimile transmission
number for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, (v) if sent by electronic mail, when sent to the electronic mail
address for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, or (vi) if sent by any other form of electronic transmission, when
sent to the address, location or number (as applicable) for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation.
(b) Notice to Stockholders.
Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any stockholder, such
notice may be given (i) in writing and sent either by hand delivery, through the United States mail, or by a nationally recognized overnight
delivery service for next day delivery, or (ii) by means of a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder, to the
extent permitted by, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 232 of the DGCL. A notice to a stockholder shall be deemed given
as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery, when actually received by the stockholder, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when
deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address
appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service,
when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing
on the stock ledger of the Corporation, and (iv) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom
the notice is given and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, (A) if by facsimile transmission, when directed to a number
at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (B) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which
the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (C) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder
of such specified posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and (2) the giving of such separate notice, and (D) if by any other form
of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent to receiving notice
by means of electronic communication by giving written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed
revoked if (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance
with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or to the Corporation’s transfer
agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation
shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.
(c) Electronic Transmission.
“Electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission
of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced
in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process, including but not limited to transmission by telex, facsimile telecommunication,
electronic mail, telegram and cablegram.
(d) Notice to Stockholders
Sharing Same Address. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively by the Corporation to stockholders,
any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws
shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that
address to whom such notice is given. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent by delivering written notice of such revocation
to the Corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given written notice
by the Corporation of its intention to send such a single written notice shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written
notice.
(e) Exceptions to Notice
Requirements. Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any person
with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply
to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be
taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice
had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the
Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all
persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.
Whenever notice is required
to be given by the Corporation, under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any stockholder
to whom (1) notice of two consecutive annual meetings of stockholders and all notices of stockholder meetings or of the taking of action
by written consent of stockholders without a meeting to such stockholder during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings,
or (2) all, and at least two payments (if sent by first-class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12-month period, have
been mailed addressed to such stockholder at such stockholder’s address as shown on the records of the Corporation and have been
returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such stockholder shall not be required. Any action or meeting that shall be taken
or held without notice to such stockholder shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such stockholder
shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth such stockholder’s then current address, the requirement that notice
be given to such stockholder shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing
of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom
notice was not required to be given pursuant to Section 230(b) of the DGCL. The exception in subsection (1) of the first sentence of this
paragraph to the requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any notice returned as undeliverable if the notice was given
by electronic transmission.
Section 9.4. Waiver of
Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a written
waiver of such notice, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled
to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to such required notice. All such waivers
shall be kept with the books of the Corporation. Attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where
a person attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully
called or convened.
Section 9.5. Meeting Attendance via Remote Communication
Equipment.
(a) Stockholder Meetings.
If authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, stockholders
entitled to vote at such meeting and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication:
(i) participate in a meeting
of stockholders; and
(ii) be deemed present in person
and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication,
provided that (A) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote
at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder, (B) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures
to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and, if entitled to vote, to vote
on matters submitted to the applicable stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially
concurrently with such proceedings, and (C) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of
remote communication, a record of such votes or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.
(b) Board Meetings.
Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board or any committee
thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment
by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence
in person at the meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of
any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.
Section 9.6. Dividends.
The Board may from time to time declare, and the Corporation may pay, dividends (payable in cash, property or shares of the Corporation’s
capital stock) on the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock, subject to applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 9.7. Reserves.
The Board may set apart out of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may
abolish any such reserve.
Section 9.8. Contracts
and Negotiable Instruments. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any
contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument may be executed and delivered in the name and on behalf of the Corporation by
such officer or officers or other employee or employees of the Corporation as the Board may from time to time authorize. Such authority
may be general or confined to specific instances as the Board may determine. The Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the
President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President may execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage
or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the Board, the Chairman of the
Board Chief Executive Officer, President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President may delegate powers to execute
and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation to other officers
or employees of the Corporation under such person’s supervision and authority, it being understood, however, that any such delegation
of power shall not relieve such officer of responsibility with respect to the exercise of such delegated power.
Section 9.9. Fiscal Year.
The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by the Board.
Section 9.10. Seal.
The Board may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be in such form as the Board determines. The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile
thereof to be impressed, affixed or otherwise reproduced.
Section 9.11. Books and
Records. The books and records of the Corporation may be kept within or outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may
from time to time be designated by the Board.
Section 9.12. Resignation.
Any director, committee member or officer may resign by giving notice thereof in writing or by electronic transmission to the Chairman
of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary. The resignation shall take effect at the time it is delivered
unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. Unless
otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
Section 9.13. Surety Bonds.
Such officers, employees and agents of the Corporation (if any) as the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or the
Board may direct, from time to time, shall be bonded for the faithful performance of their duties and for the restoration to the Corporation,
in case of their death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office, of all books, papers, vouchers, money and other
property of whatever kind in their possession or under their control belonging to the Corporation, in such amounts and by such surety
companies as the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board may determine. The premiums on such bonds shall
be paid by the Corporation and the bonds so furnished shall be in the custody of the Secretary.
Section 9.14. Securities
of Other Corporations. Powers of attorney, proxies, waivers of notice of meeting, consents in writing and other instruments relating
to securities owned by the Corporation may be executed in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer, President, any Vice President or any officers authorized by the Board. Any such officer, may, in the name of and on
behalf of the Corporation, take all such action as any such officer may deem advisable to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of
security holders of any corporation in which the Corporation may own securities, or to consent in writing, in the name of the Corporation
as such holder, to any action by such corporation, and at any such meeting or with respect to any such consent shall possess and may exercise
any and all rights and power incident to the ownership of such securities and which, as the owner thereof, the Corporation might have
exercised and possessed. The Board may from time to time confer like powers upon any other person or persons.
Section 9.15. Amendments.
The Board shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required
to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders; provided,
however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by applicable
law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power (except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.7) of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors,
voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws.
Section 9.16. Exclusive
Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any state law claims for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf
of the Corporation (other than derivative actions brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), (ii) any action asserting a claim of
breach of, or based on, a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation
or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director,
officer, or other employee or stockholder of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation
or these Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Unless the Corporation
consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, but only to the extent permitted by applicable law, the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any ancillary claims
related thereto which are subject to the ancillary jurisdiction of the federal courts.

OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
FOXX DEVELOPMENT INC.
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
US$2,000,000 |
June
21, 2023 (“Issuance Date”) |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
FOXX DEVELOPMENT INC., a Texas corporation, with its registered address at 700 Lavaca St., Suite 1401, Austin, TX (the “Company”),
promises to pay to New Bay Capital Limited, a Hong Kong registered entity, with a principal office at Rm 1305, 13/F Tower A New Mandarin
Plaza 14 Science Museum Road, TST KLN, Hong Kong, or its successor or permitted assigns (“Investor” or “Holder”),
in lawful money of the United States of America the principal sum of Two Million U.S. Dollars (US$2,000,000.00) (the “Principal
Amount”), together with interest from the Issuance Date of this Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) as
set forth below.
The following is
a statement of the rights of Investor and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Investor, by the acceptance of this
Note, agrees:
1. Payments.
(a) Interest. Subject
to Section 3, for the period commencing on the Issuance Date of this Note and until the Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue
on the outstanding unconverted and unpaid Principal Amount at 7.00% per annum and shall be compounded annually. “Interest Payment
Date” means the first to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the date of any conversion of this Note in full pursuant
to the terms hereof, and (iii) the date of any other repayment or redemption of this Note in full in accordance with the terms hereof.
Interest with respect to any partial year shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of 30-day months (or in the case
of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed therein).
(b) Payment Schedule. Subject to the rights
of Investor in Section 3, unless otherwise converted, redeemed or repaid pursuant to the terms of this Note, the full outstanding and
unpaid Principal Amount shall be repaid in full by the Company on the Maturity Date. Any accrued and unpaid interest on the Note is due
and payable by the Company in cash on the Interest Payment Date.
(c) Prepayment. This
Note may not be prepaid by the Company without prior written consent of the Investor.
(d) Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the
terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is
a Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. Investor shall notify the Company in writing no less than five (5)
Business Days prior to any scheduled or agreed payment under this Note of the details of the account of Investor to which such
payment shall be made, though the failure to provide such information on a timely basis will not relieve the Company’s obligation to
make such payment under this Note (to the extent such obligation remains outstanding) promptly upon receipt of such information.
2. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following
shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:
(a) Failure to Pay. The
Company shall fail to pay to the Investor when due any Principal Amount, any interest payment or other cash payment required under this
Note (if any), and such failure shall not have been cured within three (3) days after the due date;
(b) Breaches of Covenants.
The Company shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants, obligations, conditions or agreements
contained in Sections 4, 5, 8(a), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Note and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after the Company’s
receipt of written notice from the Investor of such failure;
(c) Voluntary Bankruptcy
or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company, or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or any group of subsidiaries of the Company that
together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator
or custodian of itself or of all or substantially all of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated, or (v) commence a
voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking
possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other bankruptcy proceeding commenced against it, in the case of
each of (i) through (v), other than in connection with a solvent dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or similar corporate proceedings;
or
(d) Involuntary Bankruptcy
or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company or any
of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or of all or substantially
all of the Company’s property, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief
with respect to the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary or its or their debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced
and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be stayed, dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days of commencement.
3. Rights of Investor upon an Event of
Default.
(a) Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) or 2(d)) and at any time thereafter during
the continuance of such Event of Default, Investor may, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding and unconverted and
unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) or 2(d), immediately and without notice, all
outstanding and unconverted and unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest payable by the Company hereunder shall automatically
become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) In
the case of an Event of Default under Section 2(a), during the period when such Event of Default is continuing and not cured, in lieu
of (and not in addition to) the interest rate described in Section 1(a), interest shall accrue at 14% per annum on any such undisputed
Principal Amount or interest (or portion thereof) that remains overdue.
(c) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Investor may also exercise any other right, power or remedy granted
to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.
4. Conversion.
(a) Automatic
Conversion. All outstanding Notes shall be converted automatically into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Conversion
Shares”) of the Company’s share of common stock, par value
US$ per share (the “Common Shares”) without any

number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note; and if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding Principal Amount
of this Note, without limitation of such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Note, Company will use its reasonable

1. In
case the Company, at any time or from time to lime, shall subdivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares (by
any share split, share dividend or otherwise), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately
reduced and, conversely, in case the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall combine its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller
number of shares (by any reverse share split or otherwise), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall
be proportionately increased. In the case of any such subdivision, no further adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 2 below by
reason thereof.
2. lf, the Company, at any
time or from time to time, shall effect any capital reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or statutory exchange of Common
Shares in such a way that holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or assets in exchange for Common Shares
(in each case other than an Internal Restructuring) (a “Reorganization”), then, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made
whereby the Investor shall thereupon have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and
in lieu of the Common Shares immediately theretofore receivable upon the full conversion of any unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount
then remaining outstanding, such shares, securities or assets as may be issued or payable in exchange for a number of outstanding Common
Shares equal to the number of Common Shares immediately theretofore receivable for such full conversion of such unpaid and unconverted
Principal Amount remaining outstanding had such Reorganization not taken place.
3. Prior to the IPO, except
as provided in Section 4 below and except in the case of an event described in Sections 1 or 2 above, if the Company shall issue
or sell, or is, in accordance with this Section 3, deemed to have issued or sold, any new Common Share for a consideration per share
less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (the “Pre-Adjustment Conversion Price”),
then, upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Conversion Price shall be determined as follows:
NCP = OCP * (CS + (NP/OCP))/(CS + NS)
WHERE:
NCP = the new Conversion Price,
OCP = the Pre-Adjustment Conversion Price,

Shares immediately before the issuance or sale of the new Common Shares plus the total Common Shares issuable upon conversion
of all the outstanding preference shares and exercise of outstanding options and convertible securities,
NP = the total consideration received for the issuance or
sale of the new Common Shares, and
NS = the number of new Common Shares issued or sold.
For purposes of this Section
3, the following shall also be applicable:
| (i) | Issuance
of Rights or Options. If the Company at any time or from time to time, shall in any manner
grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Shares
or any shares or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (such warrants,
rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable
shares or securities being called “Convertible Securities”), in each case
for consideration per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 3(v)
below) less than the Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not such Options or the
right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable,
then the total maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options,
or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Options, shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date
of granting of such Options, at a price per share equal to the amount determined by dividing
(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for
the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration
payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of such Options
which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion
or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of Common Shares deemed to have been
so issued. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(iii) below, no adjustment of the Conversion
Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares or of such Convertible
Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares
upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. |
| (ii) | Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company at any time or from time to time, shall in
any manner issue or sell any Convertible Securities for consideration per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in
Section 3(v) below) less than the Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such
Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Securities, at a price per share equal to the amount determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or
receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange ► hereof, by (B) the total
maximum number of Common Shares deemed to have been so issued; provided, that (I) except as otherwise provided in Section
3(iii) below, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities and (2) if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of
any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of
such issuance or sale. |
| (iii) | Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If, at
any time or from time to time, there shall occur a change in (A) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable in connection with any
Option referred to in Section 3(i) above or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, (B) the purchase
price provided for in any Option referred to in Section 3(i) above, (C) the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion
or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above or (D) the rate at which Convertible Securities
referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (in each case, other than in
connection with an event described in Section 4 below), then the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such event shall be readjusted
to the relevant Conversion Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities that are still
outstanding provided for such changed maximum number of shares, purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case
may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment the Conversion Price then in effect
is thereby reduced; and on the termination of any such Option or any such right to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities, the
Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall be increased to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at the time of such
termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination (i.e., to the
extent that fewer than the number of Common Shares deemed to have been issued in connection with such Option or Convertible Securities
were actually issued), never been issued or sold or been issued or sold at such higher price, as the case may be. |
| (iv) | Share Dividends. If the Company, at any time or from
time to time, shall declare or make, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive, a dividend
or make any other distribution upon any shares of the Company payable in Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, any Common
Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to
have been issued or sold without consideration, the Conversion Price will be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3; provided, that no adjustment
shall be made to the conversion price as a result of such dividend or distribution if the holders of the Note are entitled to, and do,
receive such dividend or distribution in accordance with Article 42 of the Articles; and, provided, further, that if any adjustment is
made to the Conversion Price as a result of the declaration of a dividend and such dividend is not effected, the Conversion Price shall
be appropriately readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect had such dividend not been declared. |
| (v) | Consideration for Shares. If the Company, at any time
or from time to time, shall issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares for cash, the consideration received
therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received or to be received by the Company therefor (determined with respect to deemed issuances
and sales in connection with Options and Convertible Securities in accordance with clause (A) of Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above,
as appropriate) as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company. In case any Common Shares shall be issued or sold,
or deemed issued or sold, for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company
(the “Board”) shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration received or to be received by the Company (determined
with respect to deemed issuances and sales in connection with Options and Convertible Securities in accordance with clause (A) of Section
3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, as appropriate) as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of a majority of the Common Shares
then outstanding. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options
shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of a majority of
the Common Shares then outstanding. |
| (vi) | Record Date. If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall take a record of the holders
of its Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Shares, Options
or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date
shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Common Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of
such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be. |
| (vii) | Treasury Shares. The number of Common Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares
owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided, that the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance
or sale of Common Shares for the purpose of this Section 3. |
| (viii) | Other Issuances or Sales. In calculating any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this
Section 3: any Options or Convertible Securities that provide, as of the effective date of such adjustment, for the issuance upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof of an indeterminable number of Common Shares shall (together with the Common Shares issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof) be disregarded; provided, that at such time as the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise, conversion
or exchange of such Options or Convertible Securities becomes determinable, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section
3(iii) above. |
| (ix) | Certain Issues or Transfer Excepted. Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price in the case of the issuance or transfer of (i) Common Shares
upon conversion of this Note; (ii) Common Shares or other awards to acquire Common Shares under any option plan or employee incentive
plan of the Company and/or outside of such option plan or employee incentive plan as approved in accordance with the Articles, or (iii)
any Common Shares issued by the Company in exchange for the assets or shares of another Person in connection with the acquisition of such
Person by the Company, whether by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of
such Person, or otherwise, which acquisition has been approved in accordance with the Articles. |

Upon and following the consummation of the Business Combination, Purchaser Common Stock will be traded publicly on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Note).
We hereby give you the Conversion

Dear Holder,
We refer to the Convertible Promissory Note dated June 21, 2023 (the

by virtue of the Acquisition Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the Business Combination Agreement, and without
any action on the part of ACAC, Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, or stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Effective
Time, each share of common stock of the Company, par value US$0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, the
applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet (as defined in the Business Combination
Agreement). “Closing Payment Stock” means 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Purchaser, par value $0.0001 each
(“Purchaser Common Stock”), which are equal or equivalent in value to the sum of $50,000,000 divided by $10.00 per
share, among which, 500,000 shares in aggregate will be deposited to a segregated escrow account and to be released if and only if, prior
to or upon one-year anniversary of the Business Combination Agreement, the U.S. Congress has approved the affordable connectivity program
of no less than $4 billion; or otherwise be cancelled and forfeited without consideration. Upon and following the consummation of the
Business Combination (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), Purchaser Common Stock will be traded publicly on the Nasdaq
Stock Market. The closing of the Business Combination would have the same effect on Note I and Note II as if the Company had completed
an IPO (as defined in the Note I and Note II).
On February 18, 2024, the Company issued a conversion notice pursuant
to Section 4 of the Note I and Note II, respectively, each to convert principal amount under each of Note I and Note II into 66,667 shares

Agreement) (the “Conversion”).
Pursuant to Section 1 of Note I and Note II, interest shall accrue
on the outstanding unconverted and unpaid principal amount at 7.00% per annum and shall be compounded annually (collectively, the “Accrued
Interest”). Pursuant to an Amend to Convertible Note Agreement by and between the Company the Company and you dated March 15,
2024, the Company and you agreed to settle all Accrued Interest into shares of Company Common Stock upon the Conversion and waive the
lock-up requirement as set forth in the Note I and Note II (the “Note Amendment”). As of September 26, 2024, the Effective
Time, the Accrued Interest under the Note I and Note II will be $291,890.41, collectively.
We hereby give you the Conversion Notice pursuant to the Note Amendment
that in addition to the Note Conversion, the Accrued Interest of $291,890.41 will be automatically converted into 9,730 shares of the
Company Common Stock, at a price of $30.00 per share immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Conversion”).

which would be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, the applicable portion of the Closing

account or benefit of U.S. Persons and shall otherwise be made in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S and any other applicable
provisions of the 1933 Act.
(c) The
Investor shall not engage in hedging transactions with regard to the Securities unless in compliance with the 1933 Act. This Agreement
and the transactions contemplated herein are not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the 1933 Act, and the

of Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in
a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.
(e) Investor

independently contact the Company as a result of the general solicitation by means of a registration statement.

4. Representations and
Warranties of the Company.
The Company represents, warrants and covenants to the Investor
that:
4.1 Organization:
Execution, Delivery and Performance.
(a) The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries, if any, is a corporation or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized, with full power and authority (corporate and other) to own, lease,
use and operate its properties and to carry on its business as and where now owned, leased, used, operated and conducted. The Company
and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in
which its ownership or use of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary except where the
failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) (i)
The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform the Transaction Documents and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to issue the Securities, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, (ii) the execution
and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby (including without limitation the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Converted Shares) have been duly authorized by
the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or its stockholders,
is required, (iii) the Company shall take all efforts to modify records that the Company has a one-member board with the Secretary of
State of the State of Texas within two months of this Agreement; (iv) each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered
by the Company by its authorized representative, and such authorized representative is a true and official representative with authority
to sign each such document and the other documents or certificates executed in connection herewith and bind the Company accordingly, and
(v) each of the Transaction Documents constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof by the Company will constitute, a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except to the extent limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
and general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies.
4.2 Note
and Converted Shares Duly Authorized. The Note to be issued to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement, when issued and delivered in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes or

Promptly following the Closing, but no later than 11-month anniversary of the issuance of the Note, the Company shall increase the authorized
capital or effectuate a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common shares to ensure that the Converted Shares will be duly
authorized and reserved for future issuance and, upon conversion of the Note in accordance with its terms, will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes or Liens with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive
rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company. The Company shall promptly reserve from its duly authorized capital stock
the maximum number of common shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. It is not necessary in connection with the issuance and sale
of the Securities to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or to qualify or register the Securities under applicable U.S. state securities
laws. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or any Person acting on its or their behalf have engaged in
any “directed selling efforts” within the meaning of Rule 903 of Regulation S.
4.3 Capitalization.
As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, of which approximately
1,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding. Except as described above, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
(i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe for, puts, calls, rights of first refusal, agreements, understandings,
claims or other commitments or rights of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable
for any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is or may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) there are no agreements
or arrangements under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of its or their securities
under the 1933 Act (except for the registration rights provisions contained herein) and (iii) there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment
provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders) that will be triggered
by the issuance of the Converted Shares. All of such outstanding shares of capital stock are, or upon issuance will be, duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock of the Company are subject to preemptive rights or any other
similar rights of the stockholders of the Company or any Lien imposed through the actions or failure to act of the Company.
4.4 No
General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person participating on the Company’s behalf in the transactions contemplated
hereby has conducted any “general solicitation,” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act, with
respect to any of the Securities being offered hereby.
4.5 No
Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly
made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration
under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Investor. The issuance of the Securities to the Investor will not be integrated
with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any stockholder approval provisions
applicable to the Company or its securities.
4.6 No
Brokers. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees
or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.7 Disclosure.
All information relating to or concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, customers or clients:
(i) set forth in this Agreement and/or (ii) as disclosed in any exhibit or certification thereto is true and correct in all material respects
and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
5. Registration Rights.
5.1 Participation in
Registrations. Following an IPO, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act, whether for its
own account or for the account of another stockholder (except for the registration of securities (A) to be offered pursuant to an
employee benefit plan on Form S-8 or (B) pursuant to a registration made on Form S-4, or any successor forms then in effect) at any
time and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of the Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback
Registration”), it will so notify in writing all holders of Registrable Securities no later than the earlier to occur of (i)
the tenth (10th) day following the Company’s receipt of notice of exercise of other demand registration rights, or (ii) thirty
(30) days prior to the anticipated filing date. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will include in the
Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities, on a pro rata basis based upon the total number of Registrable Securities with
respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within ten (10) business days after the applicable
holder’s receipt of the Company’s notice.
5.2 Underwritten Offerings. In the event a
registration giving rise to the Investor’ rights pursuant to Section 5.1 relates to an underwritten offering of securities,
the Investor’ right to registration pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be conditioned upon its (i) participation in such
underwriting, (ii) inclusion of the Registrable Securities therein and (iii) execution of all underwriting documents requested by
the underwriter with respect thereto (the “Underwriter”). If the managing underwriter gives the Company its written
opinion that the total number or dollar amount of securities requested to be included in the registration exceeds the number or
dollar amount of securities that can be sold, the Company will include the securities in the registration in the following order of
priority: (A) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell; and (B) second, pro rata among all other holders of securities
(including the holders of Registrable Securities) that have registration rights, if any, in each case, on the basis of the dollar
amount or number of securities requested to be included, as the case may be.
5.3 Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to
the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable
Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall
include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect
to filings required to be made with the trading market on which the common shares are then listed for trading, and (B) in compliance
with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, (ii) printing expenses, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, and
(iv) fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company.
5.4 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the
Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents,
successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed
by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other
jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application,
document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the
Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating
to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities included in any such registration in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken
or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf and will
reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in
conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such
Registration Statement or related prospectus.
(b) Indemnification
by the Investor. The Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933
Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement
of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the
extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically
for inclusion in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability
of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with
any claim relating to this Section 5.4 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement
giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of
Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party
of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such
claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder
shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person
or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists
between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying
party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of
any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder,
except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any
such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified
parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation,
(d) Contribution.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient
to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 5.4 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
5.5 Cooperation
by Investor. The Investor shall furnish to the Company, as applicable, such information regarding the Investor and the distribution proposed
by it as the Company may reasonably request in connection with any registration or offering referred to in this Section 5. The Investor
shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement with respect to
such registration, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such registration statement, shall provide to
the Company, in writing, for use in the registration statement, all such information regarding the Investor and its plan of distribution
of the Shares included in such registration as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare such registration statement,
to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith.
6. Transfer Restrictions.
6.1 Transfer or
Resale. The Investor understands that:
(a) Except
as provided in the registration rights provisions set forth above, the sale or resale of all or any portion or component of the Securities
has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and that all or any portion or component
of Securities may not be transferred unless:
(i) the Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the 1933 Act,
(ii) the
Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance
and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from such registration,
(iii) the
Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor
rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Investor who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section
6.1 and who is an Accredited Investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D,
(iv) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, or
(v) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S; and, in each case, the Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the
Company, a customary opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account
or other lending arrangement.
6.2 Transfer
Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name
of the Investor or its nominee, for any Converted Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Investor to the Company
upon conversion of the Converted Shares in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”).
Prior to registration of the Converted Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Converted Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule
144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates
shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 3.6(A) or 3.8(v), as applicable of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall
affect in any way the Investor’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 6.1 hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus
delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If an Investor provides the Company with a customary opinion of counsel,
that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to such counsel, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such
Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected, the Company shall permit the transfer,
and, in the case of the Converted Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive
legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investor, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly,
the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6.2 may be inadequate and agrees, in
the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Investor shall be entitled, in addition
to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
7. Conditions to Closing of the Investor.

to purchase the Note at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Investor’s satisfaction, on or prior to the Closing Date,

9.9 Applicable Law:
Disputes. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be

to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action, any
claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action is improper or is an inconvenient

such Action by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such

sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action to enforce any provisions of the Transaction
Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 5.4, the prevailing party in such Action shall be
reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FOXX DEVELOPMENT
INC., a Texas corporation, with its registered address at 700 Lavaca St., Suite 1401, Austin, TX (the “Company”), promises
to pay to New Bay Capital Limited, a Hong Kong registered entity, with a principal office at Rm 1305, 13/F Tower A New Mandarin Plaza
14 Science Museum Road, TST KLN, Hong Kong, or its successor or permitted assigns (“Investor” or “Holder”),
in lawful money of the United States of America the principal sum of Two Million U.S. Dollars (US$2,000,000.00) (the “Principal
Amount”), together with interest from the Issuance Date of this Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”)
as set forth below.
The following is a statement
of the rights of Investor and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Investor, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:
(a) Interest.
Subject to Section 3, for the period commencing on the Issuance Date of this Note and until the Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue on the outstanding unconverted and unpaid Principal Amount at 7.00% per annum and shall be compounded annually. “Interest
Payment Date” means the first to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the date of any conversion of this Note in full pursuant
to the terms hereof, and (iii) the date of any other repayment or redemption of this Note in full in accordance with the terms hereof.
Interest with respect to any partial year shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of 30-day months (or in the case
of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed therein).
(b) Payment Schedule.
Subject to the rights of Investor in Section 3, unless otherwise converted, redeemed or repaid pursuant to the terms of this Note, the
full outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount shall be repaid in full by the Company on the Maturity Date. Any accrued and unpaid interest
on the Note is due and payable by the Company in cash on the Interest Payment Date.
(c) Prepayment.
This Note may not be prepaid by the Company without prior written consent of the Investor.
(d) Whenever any
amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the
next succeeding day which is a Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. Investor shall notify the Company in writing
no less than five (5) Business Days prior to any scheduled or agreed payment under this Note of the details of the account of Investor
to which such payment shall be made, though the failure to provide such information on a timely basis will not relieve the Company’s
obligation to make such payment under this Note (to the extent such obligation remains outstanding) promptly upon receipt of such information.
| 2. | Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following
shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note: |

this Note (if any), and such failure shall not have been cured within three (3) days after the due date;

The Company shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants, obligations, conditions or agreements contained
in Sections 4, 5, 8(a), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Note and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt
of written notice from the Investor of such failure;
(c) Voluntary Bankruptcy
or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company, or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or any group of subsidiaries of the Company that
together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator
or custodian of itself or of all or substantially all of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated, or (v) commence a
voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking
possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other bankruptcy proceeding commenced against it, in the case of
each of (i) through (v), other than in connection with a solvent dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or similar corporate proceedings;
or
(d) Involuntary Bankruptcy
or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company or
any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or of all or
substantially all of the Company’s property, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or
other relief with respect to the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of subsidiaries that together would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary or its or their debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall
be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be stayed, dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days of
commencement.
| 3. | Rights of Investor upon an Event of Default. |
(a) Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) or 2(d)) and at any time thereafter
during the continuance of such Event of Default, Investor may, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding and unconverted
and unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) or 2(d), immediately and without notice,
all outstanding and unconverted and unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest payable by the Company hereunder shall automatically
become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) In
the case of an Event of Default under Section 2(a), during the period when such Event of Default is continuing and not cured, in lieu
of (and not in addition to) the interest rate described in Section 1(a), interest shall accrue at 14% per annum on any such undisputed
Principal Amount or interest (or portion thereof) that remains overdue.
(c) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Investor may also exercise any other right, power or remedy granted
to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.
(a) Automatic Conversion.
All outstanding Notes shall be converted automatically into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Conversion
Shares”) of the Company’s share of common stock, par value US$0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”)
without any action by the Holders and whether or not the document representing such Notes are surrendered to the Company or its transfer
agent, upon the commencement of trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange of the Company’s securities to
be issued in an initial public offering (“IPO”) at a price of $30.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”),
provided that if the IPO is consummated by a holding company or an affiliated entity of the Company, the Conversation Shares shall be
equivalent common shares of such listing entity at the same Conversion Price. The Conversion Price may be adjusted after the Issuance
Date and prior to the initial closing of the IPO in accordance with Exhibit B. As soon as practicable after the occurrence of
an automatic conversion, the Company shall send a written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion
Notice”) to all Holders notifying them to surrender the original form of the Note (or an affidavit of loss mutilation or destruction,
together with an undertaking to provide customary indemnification to the Company in respect thereof ) to the Company in exchange a certificate
or certificates for the number of full shares of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.
(b) Conversion Procedure.
| (i) | In connection with any conversion pursuant to Section 4(a), as soon as reasonably practicable
following the receipt of a Conversion Notice, Investor shall surrender to the Company this Note (or a notice to the effect that the
original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby Investor agrees to indemnify the
Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such loss or destruction of this Note). |
| (ii) | Promptly following such surrender of the Note to the Company, (A) the Company shall update its transfer
agent to record the number of Conversion Shares to which Investor shall be entitled upon such conversion, issued as fully paid to Investor
and deliver to Investor a certified true copy of such updated shareholder list, (B) the Company shall issue and deliver to Investor a
certificate or certificates for the Conversion Shares, and a check payable to Investor for any cash amounts payable as described in Section
4(c)(iii). |
| (iii) | No fractional shares or securities shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company
issuing any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price in such conversion, by the fraction of a share or such other security not issued
pursuant to the previous sentence. |
(c) Reservation of
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. Following the issuance but no later than two (2) month anniversary of the Note, the Company shall
use its best efforts to increase its authorized capital or effectuate a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding Common Shares
to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
this Note such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note; and if at any time
the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding Principal
Amount of this Note, without limitation of such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Note, Company will use its
reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but
unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
(d) Whenever the Conversion
Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting
forth the adjusted Conversion Price, the manner of calculation of such adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which such adjustment
becomes effective, and shall promptly send such notice to the Investor.
| 5. | Discharge of Obligations. Upon the earlier of (i) the
full conversion of this Note and the Company’s delivery of the required consideration, if any, in respect thereof pursuant to Section
4 and (ii) the full repayment or redemption of the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount and any then-accrued and unpaid interest under
this Note in accordance with the terms of this Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under
this Note and this Note shall be deemed of no further force or effect, without any further action of any party, whether or not the original
of this Note has been delivered to the Company for cancellation. |
| 6. | “Lock-Up” Agreement. Investor hereby agrees
to enter into a lock-up agreement under which Investor agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Note and the Conversion
Shares during six-month period commencing on the date of the commencement of trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock
Exchange of the Company’s shares in connection with the IPO. |
(a) Information. The
Company will deliver to Investor the documents and information set out in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 21, 2023 between
the Company and the Investor (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), and the Investor shall be entitled to the same information
rights set out in Securities Purchase Agreement, subject to the same terms, conditions, restrictions and exceptions as set out in the
Securities Purchase Agreement.
(b) Stay, Extension
and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit
or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and the Company (to the extent
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to
any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Investor, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
(c) Corporate Existence;
Assumption of Obligations by Successor Company. During the term of this Note, the Company shall (i) do or cause to be done all things
reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, or (ii) make adequate provisions such that
the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not the Company, shall expressly assume,
by a duly executed amendment delivered to the Investor and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Investor, all of the obligations of
the Company under this Note, and upon such assumption, such Successor Company shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of
all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as
if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause the Note to be signed and reissued
in its own name, with such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) as may be appropriate. The Note as so re-issued shall
in all respects have the same benefit as though it had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such Reorganization
or election relating to a Change of Control to which the foregoing clause (ii) is applicable, upon compliance with the foregoing clause
(ii) the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Note (or any successor that shall thereafter have become
such in the manner prescribed in this Section) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case
of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of this Note and from its obligations under this
Note.
(d) Notice to Investor
Prior to Certain Actions. In case of: (x) any action by the Company that would require an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant
to the terms hereof; (y) a Change of Control or Reorganization; or (z) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Company, then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Note) and
to the extent applicable, the Company shall send to the Investor, a notice stating the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such action by the Company or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of record
are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company no later than the earlier of (1) the date notice of such date is
required to be provided under applicable law or applicable rules of any stock exchange the Common Shares are listed on at such time and
(2) such date is publicly announced by the Company. In addition, the Company shall notify the Investor of any IPO Commencement Date within
two (2) Business Days of such date.

EXHIBIT B TO NOTES
ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE
1. In
case the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall subdivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares (by
any share split, share dividend or otherwise), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately
reduced and, conversely, in case the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall combine its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller
number of shares (by any reverse share split or otherwise), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall
be proportionately increased. In the case of any such subdivision, no further adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 2 below by
reason thereof.
2. If,
the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall effect any capital reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or statutory
exchange of Common Shares in such a way that holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or assets in exchange
for Common Shares (in each case other than an Internal Restructuring) (a “Reorganization”), then, lawful and adequate provisions
shall be made whereby the Investor shall thereupon have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified
herein and in lieu of the Common Shares immediately theretofore receivable upon the full conversion of any unpaid and unconverted Principal
Amount then remaining outstanding, such shares, securities or assets as may be issued or payable in exchange for a number of outstanding
Common Shares equal to the number of Common Shares immediately theretofore receivable for such full conversion of such unpaid and unconverted
Principal Amount remaining outstanding had such Reorganization not taken place.
3. Prior
to the IPO, except as provided in Section 4 below and except in the case of an event described in Sections 1 or 2 above, if the Company
shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with this Section 3, deemed to have issued or sold, any new Common Share for a consideration
per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (the “Pre-Adjustment Conversion Price”),
then, upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Conversion Price shall be determined as follows:
NCP = OCP * (CS + (NP/OCP))/(CS + NS)
WHERE:
NCP = the new Conversion Price,
OCP = the Pre-Adjustment Conversion Price,
CS = the total outstanding Common Shares
immediately before the issuance or sale of the new Common Shares plus the total Common Shares issuable upon conversion of all the
outstanding preference shares and exercise of outstanding options and convertible securities,
NP = the total consideration received for the issuance or
sale of the new Common Shares, and
NS = the number of new Common Shares issued or sold.
For purposes of this Section 3, the following shall also
be applicable:
| (i) | Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company at any
time or from time to time, shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Shares or any shares or security convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Shares (such warrants, rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible or
exchangeable shares or securities being called “Convertible Securities”), in each case for consideration per share
(determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 3(v) below) less than the Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not such
Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number
of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options, shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Options, at
a price per share equal to the amount determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration
for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise
of all such Options, plus, in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof,
by (B) the total maximum number of Common Shares deemed to have been so issued. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(iii) below,
no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares or of such Convertible Securities
upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. |
| (ii) | Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company at any time or from time to time, shall in any
manner issue or sell any Convertible Securities for consideration per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 3(v)
below) less than the Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities
are immediately exercisable, then the total maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, at a price per share
equal to the amount determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the
issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of Common Shares deemed to have been so issued; provided,
that (1) except as otherwise provided in Section 3(iii) below, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance
of such Common Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (2) if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible
Securities is made upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price
shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale. |
| (iii) | Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If, at any time or from time to time, there shall occur
a change in (A) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable in connection with any Option referred to in Section 3(i) above or any Convertible
Securities referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, (B) the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in Section
3(i) above, (C) the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to
in Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above or (D) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(i) or Section 3 (ii) above
are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (in each case, other than in connection with an event described in Section 4 below),
then the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such event shall be readjusted to the relevant Conversion Price that would have been
in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities that are still outstanding provided for such changed maximum number
of shares, purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold,
but only if as a result of such adjustment the Conversion Price then in effect is thereby reduced; and on the termination of any such
Option or any such right to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall be increased
to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the
extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination (i.e., to the extent that fewer than the number of Common Shares deemed to have
been issued in connection with such Option or Convertible Securities were actually issued), never been issued or sold or been issued or
sold at such higher price, as the case may be. |
| (iv) | Share Dividends. If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall declare or make, or fix
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or make any other distribution upon any
shares of the Company payable in Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, any Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities,
as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration,
the Conversion Price will be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3; provided, that no adjustment shall be made to the conversion price as
a result of such dividend or distribution if the holders of the Note are entitled to, and do, receive such dividend or distribution in
accordance with Article 42 of the Articles; and, provided, further, that if any adjustment is made to the Conversion Price as a result
of the declaration of a dividend and such dividend is not effected, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately readjusted to the Conversion
Price that would have been in effect had such dividend not been declared. |
| (v) | Consideration for Shares. If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall issue or sell,
or is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount
received or to be received by the Company therefor (determined with respect to deemed issuances and sales in connection with Options and
Convertible Securities in accordance with clause (A) of Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, as appropriate) as determined in good faith
by the board of directors of the Company. In case any Common Shares shall
be issued or sold, or deemed issued or sold, for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received
by the Company (the “Board”) shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration received or to be received by the
Company (determined with respect to deemed issuances and sales in connection with Options and Convertible Securities in accordance with
clause (A) of Section 3(i) or Section 3(ii) above, as appropriate) as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of a majority
of the Common Shares then outstanding. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities
of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties
thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders
of a majority of the Common Shares then outstanding. |
| (vi) | Record Date. If the Company, at any time or from time to time, shall take a record of the holders
of its Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Shares, Options
or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date
shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Common Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of
such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be. |
| (vii) | Treasury Shares. The number of Common Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares
owned or held by or for the account of the Company; provided, that the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance
or sale of Common Shares for the purpose of this Section 3. |
| (viii) | Other Issuances or Sales. In calculating any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this
Section 3: any Options or Convertible Securities that provide, as of the effective date of such adjustment, for the issuance upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof of an indeterminable number of Common Shares shall (together with the Common Shares issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof) be disregarded; provided, that at such time as the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise, conversion
or exchange of such Options or Convertible Securities becomes determinable, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section
3(iii) above. |
| (ix) | Certain Issues or Transfer Excepted. Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price in the case of the issuance or transfer of (i) Common Shares
upon conversion of this Note; (ii) Common Shares or other awards to acquire Common Shares under any option plan or employee incentive
plan of the Company and/or outside of such option plan or employee incentive plan as approved in accordance with the Articles, or (iii)
any Common Shares issued by the Company in exchange for the assets or shares of another Person in connection with the acquisition of such
Person by the Company, whether by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets
of such Person, or otherwise, which acquisition has been approved in accordance with the Articles. |

Dear Holder,
We refer to the

to you.

entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”)
with Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation (“ACAC”), Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc. (“Purchaser”),
and Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Effective

has approved the affordable connectivity program of no less than $4 billion; or otherwise be cancelled and forfeited without consideration.
Upon and following the consummation of the Business Combination, Purchaser Common Stock will be traded publicly on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Interest Conversion Notice
Dear Holder,
We refer to the Convertible Promissory Note dated June 21, 2023 (the
“Note I”) and the Convertible Promissory Note dated November 21, 2023 (the “Note II”) issued by
the Foxx Development Inc. (the “Company”) to you.
On February 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination
Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation
(“ACAC”), Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc. (“Purchaser”), and Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc. (“Merger
Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement),
by virtue of the Acquisition Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the Business Combination Agreement, and without
any action on the part of ACAC, Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, or stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Effective
Time, each share of common stock of the Company, par value US$0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, the
applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet (as defined in the Business Combination
Agreement). “Closing Payment Stock” means 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Purchaser, par value $0.0001 each
(“Purchaser Common Stock”), which are equal or equivalent in value to the sum of $50,000,000 divided by $10.00 per
share, among which, 500,000 shares in aggregate will be deposited to a segregated escrow account and to be released if and only if, prior
to or upon one-year anniversary of the Business Combination Agreement, the U.S. Congress has approved the affordable connectivity program
of no less than $4 billion; or otherwise be cancelled and forfeited without consideration. Upon and following the consummation of the
Business Combination (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), Purchaser Common Stock will be traded publicly on the Nasdaq
Stock Market. The closing of the Business Combination would have the same effect on Note I and Note II as if the Company had completed
an IPO (as defined in the Note I and Note II).
On February 18, 2024, the Company issued a conversion notice pursuant
to Section 4 of the Note I and Note II, respectively, each to convert principal amount under each of Note I and Note II into 66,667 shares
Company Common Stock, at a price of $30.00 per share, immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination
Agreement) (the “Conversion”).
Pursuant to Section 1 of Note I and Note II, interest shall accrue
on the outstanding unconverted and unpaid principal amount at 7.00% per annum and shall be compounded annually (collectively, the “Accrued
Interest”). Pursuant to an Amend to Convertible Note Agreement by and between the Company the Company and you dated March 15,
2024, the Company and you agreed to settle all Accrued Interest into shares of Company Common Stock upon the Conversion and waive the
lock-up requirement as set forth in the Note I and Note II (the “Note Amendment”). As of September 26, 2024, the Effective
Time, the Accrued Interest under the Note I and Note II will be $291,890.41, collectively.
We hereby give you the Conversion Notice pursuant to the Note Amendment
that in addition to the Note Conversion, the Accrued Interest of $291,890.41 will be automatically converted into 9,730 shares of the
Company Common Stock, at a price of $30.00 per share immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Conversion”).
Upon the Conversion, we will issue 9,730 shares
of Company Common Stock which will be counted into the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock at the Effective Time,
which would be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, the applicable portion of the Closing
Payment Stock as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.
Please kindly deliver the original form of the Note I and Note II(or
an affidavit of loss mutilation or destruction, together with an undertaking to provide customary indemnification to the Company in respect
thereof) to:

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to issue the Securities, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, (ii) the execution

and general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies.

issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any stockholder approval provisions applicable
to the Company or its securities.

would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments relating to this

5.1 Participation
in Registrations. Following an IPO, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act, whether for its
own account or for the account of another stockholder (except for the registration of securities (A) to be offered pursuant to an employee

5.2 Underwritten
Offerings. In the event a registration giving rise to the Investor’ rights pursuant to Section 5.1 relates to an underwritten offering
of securities, the Investor’ right to registration pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be conditioned upon its (i) participation in such

underwriter with respect thereto (the “Underwriter”). If the managing underwriter gives the Company its written opinion that
the total number or dollar amount of securities requested to be included in the registration exceeds the number or dollar amount of securities
that can be sold, the Company will include the securities in the registration in the following order of priority: (A) first, all securities
the Company proposes to sell; and (B) second, pro rata among all other holders of securities (including the holders of Registrable Securities)
that have registration rights, if any, in each case, on the basis of the dollar amount or number of securities requested to be included,
as the case may be.

All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether
or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing

successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein,
or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that
purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or
all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue
Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under
the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such
registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such registration in any state where
the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification
on an Investor’s behalf and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such
Registration Statement or related prospectus.
(b) Indemnification
by the Investor. The Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933
Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement
of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the
extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically
for inclusion in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability
of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with
any claim relating to this Section 5.4 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement
giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying
party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of
such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification
hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or
(b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists
between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying
party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of
any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder,
except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any
such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified
parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation,
(d) Contribution.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient
to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 5.4 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
5.5 Cooperation by
Investor. The Investor shall furnish to the Company, as applicable, such information regarding the Investor and the distribution
proposed by it as the Company may reasonably request in connection with any registration or offering referred to in this Section 5.
The Investor shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement
with respect to such registration, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such registration
statement, shall provide to the Company, in writing, for use in the registration statement, all such information regarding the
Investor and its plan of distribution of the Shares included in such registration as may be reasonably necessary to enable the
Company to prepare such registration statement, to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all
applicable requirements of law in connection therewith.
6.1 Transfer or
Resale. The Investor understands that:
(a) Except
as provided in the registration rights provisions set forth above, the sale or resale of all or any portion or component of the Securities
has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and that all or any portion or component
of Securities may not be transferred unless:
(i) the
Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act,
(ii) the
Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance
and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from such registration,
(iii) the
Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor
rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Investor who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section
6.1 and who is an Accredited Investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D,
(iv) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, or
(v) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S; and, in each case, the Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the
Company, a customary opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account
or other lending arrangement.
6.2 Transfer Agent
Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name
of the Investor or its nominee, for any Converted Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Investor to the
Company upon conversion of the Converted Shares in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions”). Prior to registration of the Converted Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Converted Shares may
be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 3.6(A) or 3.8(v), as applicable of
this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Investor’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section
6.1 hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If an Investor
provides the Company with a customary opinion of counsel, that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to such
counsel, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and
such sale or transfer is effected, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Converted Shares, promptly
instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations
as specified by such Investor. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm
to the Investor, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges
that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6.2 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach
or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other
available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Exhibit A
Form of Series A Convertible Note
Ex. A-1
Exhibit 10.20
Amendment to Convertible Note Agreement
This Amendment to the Convertible
Note Agreement (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of March 15, 2024, by and between Foxx Development Inc.,
a Texas corporation (the “Company”) and New Bay Capital Limited, a Hong Kong registered entity (the “Holder”).
WHEREAS, on June 21,
2023, the Company issued a Series A convertible promissory note (“Note I”) to the Holder in the principal amount of
US$2,000,000 with an interest at a rate of $7% per annum.
WHEREAS, on November
21, 2023, the Company issued a Series A convertible promissory note (“Note II”) to the Holder in the principal amount
of US$2,000,000 with an interest at a rate of $7% per annum.
WHEREAS, on February
18, 2024, the Company has entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination
Agreement”) with Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation (“ACAC”), Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc. (“Purchaser”),
and Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Effective
Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), by virtue of the Acquisition Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)
and the Business Combination Agreement, and without any action on the part of ACAC, Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, or stockholders
of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of common stock of the Company, par value US$0.001 per share (“Company
Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and automatically converted into
the right to receive, without interest, the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in the Closing Consideration
Spreadsheet (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). “Closing Payment Stock” means 5,000,000 shares of common
stock of the Purchaser, par value $0.0001 each (“Purchaser Common Stock”), which are equal or equivalent in value to
the sum of $50,000,000 divided by $10.00 per share, among which, 500,000 shares in aggregate will be deposited to a segregated escrow
account and to be released if and only if, prior to or upon one-year anniversary of the Business Combination Agreement, the U.S. Congress
has approved the affordable connectivity program of no less than $4 billion; or otherwise be cancelled and forfeited without consideration.
Upon and following the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), Purchaser Common Stock
will be traded publicly on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The closing of the Business Combination would have the same effect on Note I and Note
II as if the Company had completed an IPO (as defined in the Note I and Note II).
WHEREAS, on February
18, 2024, the Company issued a conversion notice pursuant to Section 4 of the Note I and Note II, respectively, each to convert principal
amount under each of Note I and Note II into 66,667 shares Company Common Stock, at a price of $30.00 per share, immediately prior to
the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (the “Conversion”).
WHEREAS, pursuant
to Section 1 of Note I and Note II, interest shall accrue on the outstanding unconverted and unpaid principal amount at 7.00% per
annum and shall be compounded annually (collectively, the “Accrued Interest”), and any accrued and unpaid Accrued
Interest is due and payable by the Company in cash on the Maturity Date, which is 12th month anniversary of the issuance date and
the date when the Company redeems Note I and Note II at its outstanding principal amount, provided that the Company has not
consummated the Business Combination within 12 months of the issuance date; or otherwise, the date of the initial closing of the
Business Combination of the Company.
WHEREAS, the Company
and Holder intend to settle all Accrued Interest into shares of Company Common Stock upon the Conversion and waive the lock-up requirement
as set forth in the Note I and Note II
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual terms, conditions and other agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree to
the sale and purchase of the Securities as set forth herein.
1. Payment of the Accrued Interest.
(a) The
Company and Holder hereby agree that the Accrued Interest shall become due and payable in shares of the Company Common Stock, at a price
of $30.00 per share upon the Conversion (the “Interest Shares”).
(b) Upon
the Conversion, the Company will issue the Interest Shares in book entry which will be counted into the issued and outstanding shares
of the Company Common Stock at the Effective Time, which would be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without
interest, the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet pursuant to the Business
Combination Agreement.
(c) Section
11 of the Note I and Note II shall be deemed to apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis.
2. Removal of Section 6 of “Lock-up”
Agreement. The Company and Holder hereby agree to remove the Section 6 “Lock-Up” Agreement of each Note I and Note II
in its entirety retroactively effective at the Issuance Date.

March
15, 2024 (“Issuance Date”) |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FOXX DEVELOPMENT
INC., a Texas corporation, with its registered address at 700 Lavaca St., Suite 1401, Austin, TX (the “Company”), promises
to pay to New Bay Capital Limited, a Hong Kong registered entity, with a principal office at Rm 1305, 13/F Tower A New Mandarin Plaza
14 Science Museum Road, TST KLN, Hong Kong, or its successor or permitted assigns (“Investor” or “Holder”),

as set forth below.
The following is a statement
of the rights of Investor and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Investor, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

(a) Interest.
Subject to Section 3, for the period commencing on the Issuance Date of this Note and until the Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue on the outstanding unconverted and unpaid Principal Amount at 7.00% per annum and shall be compounded annually. “Interest
Payment Date” means the first to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the date of any conversion of this Note and accrued

in writing no less than five (5) Business Days prior to any scheduled or agreed payment under this Note of the details of the account
of Investor to which such payment shall be made, though the failure to provide such information on a timely basis will not relieve the
Company’s obligation to make such payment under this Note (to the extent such obligation remains outstanding) promptly upon receipt
of such information.
2. Events
of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:
(a) Failure

of Covenants. The Company shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants, obligations, conditions or
agreements contained in Sections 4, 5, 8(a), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Note and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after the
Company’s receipt of written notice from the Investor of such failure;
(c) Voluntary
Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company, or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or any group of subsidiaries of the Company
that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator
or custodian of itself or of all or substantially all of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated, or (v) commence a voluntary
case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession
of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other bankruptcy proceeding commenced against it, in the case of each of (i)
through (v), other than in connection with a solvent dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or similar corporate proceedings; or
(d) Involuntary
Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company
or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or of all
or substantially all of the Company’s property, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization
or other relief with respect to the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of subsidiaries that together would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary or its or their debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall
be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be stayed, dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days of
commencement.
3. Rights of Investor upon
an Event of Default.
(a) Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) or 2(d)) and at any time thereafter
during the continuance of such Event of Default, Investor may, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding and unconverted
and unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) or 2(d), immediately and without notice,
all outstanding and unconverted and unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest payable by the Company hereunder shall automatically
become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) In
the case of an Event of Default under Section 2(a), during the period when such Event of Default is continuing and not cured, in lieu
of (and not in addition to) the interest rate described in Section 1(a), interest shall accrue at 14% per annum on any such undisputed
Principal Amount or interest (or portion thereof) that remains overdue.
(c) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Investor may also exercise any other right, power or remedy granted
to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.
4. Conversion.
(a) Automatic
Conversion. All outstanding Principal Amount on the Note and accrued and unpaid interests shall be converted automatically into the
number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s share of common stock,
par value US$0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”) without any action by the Holders and whether or not the document
representing such Notes are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent, immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the
Business Combination Agreement) at a price of $30.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”). For the purpose of this paragraph,
the least three business days prior to the Effective Time, Business Combination Agreement, as may be amended from time to time, refers
to a business combination agreement dated February 18, 2024 among the Company, Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation (“ACAC”),
Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc. (“Purchaser”), and Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc. (“Merger Sub”),
pursuant to which on the Effective Time, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the
Business Combination Agreement, and without any action on the part of ACAC, Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, or stockholders of the
Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will
be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock
as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).
(b) Conversion
Procedure.
| (i) | No later than three (3) business days prior to the Effective
Time, the Company shall deliver a notice to the Investor with regards to the Effective Time and the expected closing date of the Business
Combination (the “Conversion Notice”). |
| (ii) | Promptly following delivery of the Conversion Notice, (A) the Company shall update its transfer agent
to record the number of Conversion Shares to which Investor shall be entitled upon such conversion, issued as fully paid to Investor and
instruct the transfer agent to book the Conversion Shares in book entry, (B) at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company
shall cause the Conversion Shares to convert into rights to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in
the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. |
| (iii) | No fractional shares or securities shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company
issuing any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price in such conversion, by the fraction of a share or such other security not issued
pursuant to the previous sentence. |
(c) Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. Following the issuance until the earlier occurrence of the maturity date or the conversion date,
the Company shall use its best efforts to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares solely for the purpose
of effecting the conversion of this Note such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of the Note; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of
the entire outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, without limitation of such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of
this Note, Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
5. Discharge
of Obligations. Upon the earlier of (i) the full conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4 and (ii) the full repayment of the
outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount and any then-accrued and unpaid interest under this Note in accordance with the terms of this
Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and this Note shall be deemed of
no further force or effect, without any further action of any party, whether or not the original of this Note has been delivered to the
Company for cancellation.
6. Protective Provisions.
(a) Information.
The Company has delivered to Investor the documents and information set out in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 15, 2024
between the Company and the Investor (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and the documents and information set out
in the Business Combination Agreement, and the Investor shall be entitled to the same information rights set out in Securities Purchase
Agreement, subject to the same terms, conditions, restrictions and exceptions as set out in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(b) Stay,
Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead,
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit
or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and the Company (to the extent
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to
any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Investor, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
(c) Corporate
Existence; Assumption of Obligations by Successor Company. During the term of this Note, the Company shall (i) do or cause to be done
all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, or (ii) make adequate provisions
such that the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not the Company, shall expressly
assume, by a duly executed amendment delivered to the Investor and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Investor, all of the obligations
of the Company under this Note, and upon such assumption, such Successor Company shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of
all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if
it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause the Note to be signed and reissued
in its own name, with such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) as may be appropriate. The Note as so re-issued shall
in all respects have the same benefit as though it had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such Reorganization
or election relating to a Change of Control to which the foregoing clause (ii) is applicable, upon compliance with the foregoing clause
(ii) the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Note (or any successor that shall thereafter have become
such in the manner prescribed in this Section) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case
of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of this Note and from its obligations under this Note.
(d) Notice
to Investor Prior to Certain Actions. In case of: (x) any action by the Company that would require an adjustment to the Conversion
Price pursuant to the terms hereof; (y) a Change of Control or Reorganization; or (z) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company, then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this
Note) and to the extent applicable, the Company shall send to the Investor, a notice stating the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such action by the Company or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of
record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company no later than the earlier of (1) the date notice of such date
is required to be provided under applicable law or applicable rules of any stock exchange the Common Shares are listed on at such time
and (2) such date is publicly announced by the Company.
(e) Termination.
The provisions of Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 6(d) shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the closing of the Business
Combination.

3.1 Authorization. The execution, delivery and
performance by such Investor of the Transaction Documents to which the Investor is a party have been duly authorized and will each
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against such Investor in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Securities
to be received by such Investor hereunder will be acquired for such Investor’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the 1933 Act, and such Investor has no present

warranty by such Investor to hold the Securities for any period of time. Such Investor is not a broker-dealer registered with the
SEC under the 1934 Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered.
3.3 Restricted Securities. Such
Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities
laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws
and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited
circumstances.
3.4 Legends. It is understood that, except as provided below, Form
of Note evidencing the Note and the certificates evidencing the Converted Shares, when issued and delivered, may bear the following
or any similar legend:
(a) “The
securities represented hereby may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have been registered for sale pursuant to the 1933 Act,
(ii) such securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under said Act, or (iii) the Company has received an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the 1933 Act or qualification
under applicable state securities laws.”
(b) If
required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance of sale of the Securities, the legend required by such state
authority.
3.5 Eligible Investor.
Such Investor is a “non-U.S. Person” as defined in Regulation S promulgated under the 1933 Act. The Investor further
represents the following in connection with the Regulation S compliance.
(a) The
Investor is not a U.S. Person as such term is defined under Rule 902 of Regulation S (“U.S. Person”). The Investor
is at the time of the offer and execution of this Agreement, domiciled outside the United States.
(b) The
Investor agrees that all offers and sales of the Securities from the date hereof and through the expiration of any restricted period set
forth in Rule 903 of Regulation S (as the same may be amended from time to time hereafter) shall not be made to U.S. Persons or for the
account or benefit of U.S. Persons and shall otherwise be made in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S and any other applicable
provisions of the 1933 Act.
(c) The
Investor shall not engage in hedging transactions with regard to the Securities unless in compliance with the 1933 Act. This Agreement
and the transactions contemplated herein are not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the 1933 Act, and the
Shares are being acquired for investment purposes by the Investor.
(d) The
Investor acknowledges that the Company will refuse to register any transfer of any of the Securities not made in accordance with the provisions
of Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in
a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.
(e) Investor
acknowledges and agrees that the certificate(s) representing the Securities will bear a legend substantially as follows:
THIS NOTE AND
THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

solicitation. The Investor confirms that it has had a substantive pre-existing relationship and direct contact with the Company and its
representatives other than in connection with an IPO, it was not identified or contacted through the marketing of an IPO and it did not
independently contact the Company as a result of the general solicitation by means of a registration statement.
3.7 Brokers
and Finders. No Investor will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, any valid right, interest
or claim against or upon the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Investor for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any

and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to issue the Securities, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, (ii) the execution

with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any stockholder approval provisions
applicable to the Company or its securities.

and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
5. Registration Rights.
5.1 Participation
in Registrations. In the event that (i) the Closing Payment Stock have not been registered under the 1933 Act in connection with the Business
Combination, or (ii) the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason and the Note is otherwise converted into the Converted
Shares, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act, whether for its own account or for the account
of another stockholder (except for the registration of securities (A) to be offered pursuant to an employee benefit plan on Form S-8 or
(B) pursuant to a registration made on Form S-4, or any successor forms then in effect) at any time and the registration form to be used
may be used for the registration of the Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), it will so notify in writing
all holders of Registrable Securities no later than the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the Company’s receipt
of notice of exercise of other demand registration rights, or (ii) thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated filing date. Subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, the Company will include in the Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities, on a pro rata basis based
upon the total number of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within ten
(10) business days after the applicable holder’s receipt of the Company’s notice.
5.2 Underwritten
Offerings. In the event a registration giving rise to the Investor’ rights pursuant to Section 5.1 relates to an underwritten offering
of securities, the Investor’ right to registration pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be conditioned upon its (i) participation in such
underwriting, (ii) inclusion of the Registrable Securities therein and (iii) execution of all underwriting documents requested by the
underwriter with respect thereto (the “Underwriter”). If the managing underwriter gives the Company its written opinion that
the total number or dollar amount of securities requested to be included in the registration exceeds the number or dollar amount of securities
that can be sold, the Company will include the securities in the registration in the following order of priority: (A) first, all securities
the Company proposes to sell; and (B) second, pro rata among all other holders of securities (including the holders of Registrable Securities)
that have registration rights, if any, in each case, on the basis of the dollar amount or number of securities requested to be included,
as the case may be.
5.3 Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of
or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold
pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without
limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings

(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents,
successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein,
or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that
purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or
all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue
Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under
the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such
registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such registration in any state where
the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification
on an Investor’s behalf and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such
Registration Statement or related prospectus.
(b) Indemnification
by the Investor. The Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933
Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement
of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent,
but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to
the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no
event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such
Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.4 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required
to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included
in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party
of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have
the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party
shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable
judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying
party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense
of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein
shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially
adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall
not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys
at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation,
(d) Contribution.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient
to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 5.4 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
5.5 Cooperation
by Investor. The Investor shall furnish to the Company, as applicable, such information regarding the Investor and the distribution proposed
by it as the Company may reasonably request in connection with any registration or offering referred to in this Section 5. The Investor
shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement with respect to
such registration, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such registration statement, shall provide to
the Company, in writing, for use in the registration statement, all such information regarding the Investor and its plan of distribution
of the Shares included in such registration as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare such registration statement,
to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith.
6. Transfer Restrictions.
6.1 Transfer or
Resale. The Investor understands that:
(a) Except
as provided in the registration rights provisions set forth above, the sale or resale of all or any portion or component of the Securities
has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and that all or any portion or component
of Securities may not be transferred unless:
(i) the
Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act,
(ii) the
Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance
and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from such registration,
(iii) the
Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor
rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Investor who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section
6.1 and who is an Accredited Investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D,
(iv) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, or
(v) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S; and, in each case, the Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the
Company, a customary opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account
or other lending arrangement.
6.2 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company
shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Investor or its
nominee, for any Converted Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Investor to the Company upon conversion of
the Converted Shares in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). Prior to
registration of the Converted Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Converted Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144
without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such
certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 3.6(A) or 3.8(v), as applicable of this Agreement. Nothing in
this Section shall affect in any way the Investor’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 6.1 hereof to comply with
all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If an Investor provides the Company with a
customary opinion of counsel, that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to such counsel, to the effect that a
public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is
effected, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Converted Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to
issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor.
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investor, by vitiating
the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a
breach of its obligations under this Section 6.2 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any
bond or other security being required.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FOXX DEVELOPMENT

to pay to BR Technologies PTE. LTD., an exempt private company limited by shares incorporated in Singapore, with a registered office at

Subject to Section 3, for the period commencing on the Issuance Date of this Note and until the Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue on the outstanding unconverted and unpaid Principal Amount at 7.00% per annum and shall be compounded annually. “Interest

in writing no less than five (5) Business Days prior to any scheduled or agreed payment under this Note of the details of the account

(a) Failure

that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator

through (v), other than in connection with a solvent dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or similar corporate proceedings; or
(d) Involuntary
Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company
or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or of all
or substantially all of the Company’s property, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization
or other relief with respect to the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of subsidiaries that together would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary or its or their debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall

3. Rights of Investor upon
an Event of Default.
(a) Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) or 2(d)) and at any time thereafter
during the continuance of such Event of Default, Investor may, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding and unconverted
and unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) or 2(d), immediately and without notice,
all outstanding and unconverted and unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest payable by the Company hereunder shall automatically
become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) In
the case of an Event of Default under Section 2(a), during the period when such Event of Default is continuing and not cured, in lieu

Principal Amount or interest (or portion thereof) that remains overdue.
(c) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Investor may also exercise any other right, power or remedy granted
to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.
4. Conversion.
(a) Automatic
Conversion. All outstanding Principal Amount on the Note and accrued and unpaid interests shall be converted automatically into the
number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s share of common stock,
par value US$0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”) without any action by the Holders and whether or not the document
representing such Notes are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent, immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the
Business Combination Agreement) at a price of $30.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”). For the purpose of this paragraph,
the least three business days prior to the Effective Time, Business Combination Agreement, as may be amended from time to time, refers
to a business combination agreement dated February 18, 2024 among the Company, Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation (“ACAC”),
Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc. (“Purchaser”), and Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc. (“Merger Sub”),
pursuant to which on the Effective Time, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the
Business Combination Agreement, and without any action on the part of ACAC, Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, or stockholders of the
Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will
be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock
as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).
(b) Conversion
Procedure.
| (i) | No
later than three (3) business days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver
a notice to the Investor with regards to the Effective Time and the expected closing date
of the Business Combination (the “Conversion Notice”). |
| (ii) | Promptly following delivery of the Conversion Notice, (A) the Company shall update its transfer agent
to record the number of Conversion Shares to which Investor shall be entitled upon such conversion, issued as fully paid to Investor and
instruct the transfer agent to book the Conversion Shares in book entry, (B) at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company
shall cause the Conversion Shares to convert into rights to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in
the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. |
| (iii) | No fractional shares or securities shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company
issuing any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price in such conversion, by the fraction of a share or such other security not issued
pursuant to the previous sentence. |
(c) Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. Following the issuance until the earlier occurrence of the maturity date or the conversion date,
the Company shall use its best efforts to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares solely for the purpose
of effecting the conversion of this Note such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of the Note; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of
the entire outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, without limitation of such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of
this Note, Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
5. Discharge
of Obligations. Upon the earlier of (i) the full conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4 and (ii) the full repayment of the
outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount and any then-accrued and unpaid interest under this Note in accordance with the terms of this
Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and this Note shall be deemed of
no further force or effect, without any further action of any party, whether or not the original of this Note has been delivered to the
Company for cancellation.
6. Protective Provisions.
(a) Information.
The Company has delivered to Investor the documents and information set out in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 30, 2024 between
the Company and the Investor (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and the documents and information set out in the
Business Combination Agreement, and the Investor shall be entitled to the same information rights set out in Securities Purchase Agreement,
subject to the same terms, conditions, restrictions and exceptions as set out in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(b) Stay,
Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead,
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit
or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and the Company (to the extent
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to
any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Investor, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Existence; Assumption of Obligations by Successor Company. During the term of this Note, the Company shall (i) do or cause to be done

assume, by a duly executed amendment delivered to the Investor and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Investor, all of the obligations
of the Company under this Note, and upon such assumption, such Successor Company shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of
all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if
it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause the Note to be signed and reissued
in its own name, with such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) as may be appropriate. The Note as so re-issued shall
in all respects have the same benefit as though it had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such Reorganization
or election relating to a Change of Control to which the foregoing clause (ii) is applicable, upon compliance with the foregoing clause
(ii) the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Note (or any successor that shall thereafter have become
such in the manner prescribed in this Section) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case
of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of this Note and from its obligations under this Note.
(d) Notice
to Investor Prior to Certain Actions. In case of: (x) any action by the Company that would require an adjustment to the Conversion
Price pursuant to the terms hereof; (y) a Change of Control or Reorganization; or (z) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company, then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this
Note) and to the extent applicable, the Company shall send to the Investor, a notice stating the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such action by the Company or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of
record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company no later than the earlier of (1) the date notice of such date
is required to be provided under applicable law or applicable rules of any stock exchange the Common Shares are listed on at such time
and (2) such date is publicly announced by the Company.
(e) Termination.

CONVERSION NOTICE
Dear Holder,
We refer to the Convertible
Promissory Note (the “Note”) dated September 12, 2024 issued by the Foxx Development Inc. (the “Company”)
to you.
The Company has entered into
a Business Combination Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Acri Capital
Acquisition Corporation (“ACAC”), Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc. (“Purchaser”), and Acri Capital
Merger Sub II Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Effective Time (as defined
in the Business Combination Agreement), by virtue of the Acquisition Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the
Business Combination Agreement, and without any action on the part of ACAC, Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, or stockholders of the
Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of common stock of the Company, par value US$0.001 per share (“Company
Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and automatically converted into
the right to receive, without interest, the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in the Closing Consideration
Spreadsheet (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). “Closing Payment Stock” means 5,000,000 shares of common
stock of the Purchaser, par value $0.0001 each (“Purchaser Common Stock”), which are equal or equivalent in value to
the sum of $50,000,000 divided by $10.00 per share, among which, 500,000 shares in aggregate will be deposited to a segregated escrow
account and to be released if and only if, prior to or upon one-year anniversary of the Business Combination Agreement, the U.S. Congress
has approved the affordable connectivity program of no less than $4 billion; or otherwise be cancelled and forfeited without consideration.
Upon and following the consummation of the Business Combination, Purchaser Common Stock will be traded publicly on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
The closing of the Business Combination would have the same effect on the Note as if the Company had completed an IPO (as defined in the
Note).
Pursuant to Section 1 of the
Note, interest shall accrue on the outstanding unconverted and unpaid principal amount at 7.00% per annum and shall be compounded annually
(collectively, the “Accrued Interest”). As of September 26, 2024, the Effective Time, the principal and Accrued Interest
under the Note will be $6,026,466, collectively.
We hereby give you the Conversion
Notice pursuant to Section 4 of the Note that the principal and Accrued Interest will be automatically converted into 200,882 shares of
the Company Common Stock, at a price of $30.00 per share immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Conversion”).
Upon the Conversion, we will
issue 200,882 shares of Company Common Stock which will be counted into the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock
at the Effective Time, which would be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, the applicable
portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.
Please kindly deliver the
original form of the Note (or an affidavit of loss mutilation or destruction, together with an undertaking to provide customary indemnification
to the Company in respect thereof) to:

FOXX DEVELOPMENT INC.
SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
US$3,000,000 |
September 12, 2024 (“Issuance
Date”) |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FOXX DEVELOPMENT
INC., a Texas corporation, with its registered address at 700 Lavaca St., Suite 1401, Austin, TX (the “Company”), promises
to pay to Grazyna Plawinski Limited, an exempt private company limited by shares incorporated in Singapore, with a registered office at
Flat/RM 1305, 13/F, Tower A, New Mandarin Plaza, 14 Science Museum Road, Tsi Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, or its successor or permitted assigns
(“Investor” or “Holder”), in lawful money of the United States of America the principal sum of US$
THREE MILLONS (US$3,000,000) (the “Principal Amount”), together with interest from the Issuance Date of this Series
B Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) as set forth below.
The following is a statement
of the rights of Investor and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Investor, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:
1. Payments.
(a) Interest.
Subject to Section 3, for the period commencing on the Issuance Date of this Note and until the Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue on the outstanding unconverted and unpaid Principal Amount at 7.00% per annum and shall be compounded annually. “Interest
Payment Date” means the first to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the date of any conversion of this Note and accrued
and unpaid interests in full pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b) Payment
Schedule. Subject to the rights of Investor in Section 3, unless otherwise converted or repaid pursuant to the terms of this Note,
the full outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount shall be repaid in full by the Company on the Maturity Date. Any accrued and unpaid interest
on the Note is due and payable by the Company in cash or in Conversion Shares, as applicable, on the Interest Payment Date.
(c) Prepayment.
This Note may not be prepaid by the Company without prior written consent of the Investor.
(d) Whenever
any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due
on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. Investor shall notify the Company
in writing no less than five (5) Business Days prior to any scheduled or agreed payment under this Note of the details of the account
of Investor to which such payment shall be made, though the failure to provide such information on a timely basis will not relieve the
Company’s obligation to make such payment under this Note (to the extent such obligation remains outstanding) promptly upon receipt
of such information.
2. Events
of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:
(a) Failure
to Pay. The Company shall fail to pay to the Investor when due any Principal Amount, any interest payment or other cash payment required
under this Note (if any), and such failure shall not have been cured within three (3) days after the due date;
(b) Breaches
of Covenants. The Company shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants, obligations, conditions or
agreements contained in Sections 4, 5, 8(a), 8(c) and 8(d) of this Note and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after the
Company’s receipt of written notice from the Investor of such failure;
(c) Voluntary
Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company, or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or any group of subsidiaries of the Company
that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator
or custodian of itself or of all or substantially all of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated, or (v) commence a voluntary
case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession
of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other bankruptcy proceeding commenced against it, in the case of each of (i)
through (v), other than in connection with a solvent dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or similar corporate proceedings; or
(d) Involuntary
Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company
or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or of all
or substantially all of the Company’s property, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization
or other relief with respect to the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of subsidiaries that together would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary or its or their debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall
be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be stayed, dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days of
commencement.
3. Rights of Investor upon
an Event of Default.
(a) Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) or 2(d)) and at any time thereafter
during the continuance of such Event of Default, Investor may, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding and unconverted
and unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 2(c) or 2(d), immediately and without notice,
all outstanding and unconverted and unpaid Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest payable by the Company hereunder shall automatically
become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) In
the case of an Event of Default under Section 2(a), during the period when such Event of Default is continuing and not cured, in lieu
of (and not in addition to) the interest rate described in Section 1(a), interest shall accrue at 14% per annum on any such undisputed
Principal Amount or interest (or portion thereof) that remains overdue.
(c) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Investor may also exercise any other right, power or remedy granted
to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.
4. Conversion.
(a) Automatic
Conversion. All outstanding Principal Amount on the Note and accrued and unpaid interests shall be converted automatically into the
number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s share of common stock,
par value US$0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”) without any action by the Holders and whether or not the document
representing such Notes are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent, immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the
Business Combination Agreement) at a price of $30.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”). For the purpose of this paragraph,
the least three business days prior to the Effective Time, Business Combination Agreement, as may be amended from time to time, refers
to a business combination agreement dated February 18, 2024 among the Company, Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation (“ACAC”),
Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc. (“Purchaser”), and Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc. (“Merger Sub”),
pursuant to which on the Effective Time, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the
Business Combination Agreement, and without any action on the part of ACAC, Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, or stockholders of the
Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will
be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock
as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).
(b) Conversion
Procedure.
| (i) | No later than three (3) business days prior to the Effective
Time, the Company shall deliver a notice to the Investor with regards to the Effective Time and the expected closing date of
the Business Combination (the “Conversion Notice”). |
| (ii) | Promptly following delivery of the Conversion Notice, (A) the Company shall update its transfer agent
to record the number of Conversion Shares to which Investor shall be entitled upon such conversion, issued as fully paid to Investor and
instruct the transfer agent to book the Conversion Shares in book entry, (B) at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company
shall cause the Conversion Shares to convert into rights to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock as set forth in
the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. |
| (iii) | No fractional shares or securities shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company
issuing any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price in such conversion, by the fraction of a share or such other security not issued
pursuant to the previous sentence. |
(c) Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. Following the issuance until the earlier occurrence of the maturity date or the conversion date,
the Company shall use its best efforts to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares solely for the purpose
of effecting the conversion of this Note such number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of the Note; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of
the entire outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, without limitation of such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of
this Note, Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
5. Discharge
of Obligations. Upon the earlier of (i) the full conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4 and (ii) the full repayment of the
outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount and any then-accrued and unpaid interest under this Note in accordance with the terms of this
Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and this Note shall be deemed of
no further force or effect, without any further action of any party, whether or not the original of this Note has been delivered to the
Company for cancellation.
6. Protective Provisions.
(a) Information.
The Company has delivered to Investor the documents and information set out in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 30, 2024 between
the Company and the Investor (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and the documents and information set out in the
Business Combination Agreement, and the Investor shall be entitled to the same information rights set out in Securities Purchase Agreement,
subject to the same terms, conditions, restrictions and exceptions as set out in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(b) Stay,
Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead,
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit
or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and the Company (to the extent
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to
any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Investor, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
(c) Corporate
Existence; Assumption of Obligations by Successor Company. During the term of this Note, the Company shall (i) do or cause to be done
all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, or (ii) make adequate provisions
such that the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not the Company, shall expressly
assume, by a duly executed amendment delivered to the Investor and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Investor, all of the obligations
of the Company under this Note, and upon such assumption, such Successor Company shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of
all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if
it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause the Note to be signed and reissued
in its own name, with such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) as may be appropriate. The Note as so re-issued shall
in all respects have the same benefit as though it had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such Reorganization
or election relating to a Change of Control to which the foregoing clause (ii) is applicable, upon compliance with the foregoing clause
(ii) the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Note (or any successor that shall thereafter have become
such in the manner prescribed in this Section) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case
of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of this Note and from its obligations under this Note.
(d) Notice
to Investor Prior to Certain Actions. In case of: (x) any action by the Company that would require an adjustment to the Conversion
Price pursuant to the terms hereof; (y) a Change of Control or Reorganization; or (z) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company, then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this
Note) and to the extent applicable, the Company shall send to the Investor, a notice stating the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such action by the Company or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of
record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company no later than the earlier of (1) the date notice of such date
is required to be provided under applicable law or applicable rules of any stock exchange the Common Shares are listed on at such time
and (2) such date is publicly announced by the Company.
(e) Termination.
The provisions of Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 6(d) shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the closing of the Business
Combination.
7. Representations and

Combination, or (ii) the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason and the Notes are otherwise converted into the Converted

all holders of Registrable Securities no later than the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the Company’s receipt
of notice of exercise of other demand registration rights, or (ii) thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated filing date. Subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, the Company will include in the Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities, on a pro rata basis based
upon the total number of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within ten
(10) business days after the applicable holder’s receipt of the Company’s notice.
5.2 Underwritten Offerings.
In the event a registration giving rise to the Investors’ rights pursuant to Section 5.1 relates to an underwritten offering of
securities, the Investors’ right to registration pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be conditioned upon its (i) participation in such

underwriter with respect thereto (the “Underwriter”). If the managing underwriter gives the Company its written opinion that
the total number or dollar amount of securities requested to be included in the registration exceeds the number or dollar amount of securities
that can be sold, the Company will include the securities in the registration in the following order of priority: (A) first, all securities
the Company proposes to sell; and (B) second, pro rata among all other holders of securities (including the holders of Registrable Securities)
that have registration rights, if any, in each case, on the basis of the dollar amount or number of securities requested to be included,
as the case may be.
5.3 Expenses. All fees and expenses incident
to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable
Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall
include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect

(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investors and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents,
successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein,
or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that
purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or
all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue
Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under
the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such
registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such registration in any state where
the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification
on an Investor’s behalf and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such
Registration Statement or related prospectus.
(b) Indemnification by the Investors.
The Investors agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933
Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue
statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or related
prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by
such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or amendment or
supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net
of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.4 and the amount of any damages such
Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale
of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party
of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have
the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party
shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable
judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying
party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense
of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein
shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially
adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall
not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys
at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation,
(d) Contribution.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient
to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of
all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.4 and the amount of any damages such holder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon
the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
5.5 Cooperation
by Investors. Each Investor shall furnish to the Company, as applicable, such information regarding such Investor and the distribution
proposed by it as the Company may reasonably request in connection with any registration or offering referred to in this Section 5. Each
Investor shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement with
respect to such registration, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such registration statement, shall
provide to the Company, in writing, for use in the registration statement, all such information regarding such Investor and its plan of
distribution of the Shares included in such registration as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare such registration
statement, to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection
therewith.
6. Transfer Restrictions.
6.1 Transfer or
Resale. The Investors understand that:
(a) Except
as provided in the registration rights provisions set forth above, the sale or resale of all or any portion or component of the Securities
has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and that all or any portion or component
of Securities may not be transferred unless:
(i) the
Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act,
(ii) Each
Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance
and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from such registration,
(iii) the
Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor
rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Investor who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section
6.1 and who is an Accredited Investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D,
(iv) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, or
(v) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S; and, in each case, the Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the
Company, a customary opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account
or other lending arrangement.
6.2 Transfer
Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name
of the Investor or its nominee, for any Converted Shares upon conversion of the Converted Shares in accordance with the terms hereof (the
“Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). Prior to registration of the Converted Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on
which the Converted Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular
date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 3.6(A) or 3.8(v),
as applicable of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Investor’s obligations and agreement set forth
in Section 6.1 hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If an Investor
provides the Company with a customary opinion of counsel, that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to such counsel,
to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer
is effected, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Converted Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to
issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor. The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investor, by vitiating the intent
and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its
obligations under this Section 6.2 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions
of this Section, that the Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach
and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons
who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction. In addition, if a Change in Control constitutes a
payment event with respect to any Award which provides for a deferral of compensation and is subject to Code Section 409A, then

may from time to time approve; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and
any such Award Agreements, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail. |
| (c) | Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination

may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted before such merger or consolidation by such

on Awards in the Plan. Substitute Awards will not count against the Plan Share Limit (nor shall Shares subject to a Substitute Award be

by exercise of substitute Incentive Stock Options will count against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise
of Incentive Stock Options under Section 4(f). Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or
with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan (so long as not adopted in contemplation
of such acquisition or combination), the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the
extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination
to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be
used for Awards under the Plan, and shall not reduce the Plan Share Limit (and Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided
below in Section 4(c), (d), or (e) below); provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or
grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to
individuals who were not Service Providers prior to such acquisition or combination. |
4. | Shares Available for Awards. |
| (a) | Basic Limitation. Subject to the provisions of Section 14, the
maximum aggregate number of Shares (including underlying Shares) that may be issued under the Plan is 20% of the aggregate number
of Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing (as calculated after giving effect to the Redemption) (the
“Plan Share Limit”), provided that the issuance of awards (including any converted options of pre-existing option of
Foxx prior to the closing) within one year of the Closing shall not exceed 50% of Plan Share Limit. The Shares subject to the Plan may
be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired shares. |
| (b) | Awards Not Settled in Shares Delivered to Participant. Upon payment in Shares pursuant to the
exercise or settlement of an Award, the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced
only by the number of Shares actually issued in such payment. If a Participant pays the exercise price (or purchase price, if applicable)
of an Award through the tender of Shares, or if the Shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy any tax withholding obligations, the number
of the Shares so tendered or withheld shall again be available for issuance pursuant to future Awards under the Plan, although such
Shares shall not again become available for issuance as Incentive Stock Options. |
| (c) | Cash-Settled Awards. Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an
Award that is settled in cash. |
| (d) | Lapsed Awards. If any outstanding Award expires or is terminated or canceled without having been exercised or settled in full,
or if the Shares acquired pursuant to an Award subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Company, the Shares
allocable to the terminated portion of such Award or such forfeited or repurchased Shares shall again be available for grant under the
Plan. |
| (e) | Code Section 422 Limitations. No more than [ ] Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant
to Section 14) may be issued under the Plan upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options. |
| (f) | Non-Employee Director Award Limit. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in the Plan or in any policy of the Company regarding Non-Employee Director compensation, the sum of the
grant date fair value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification
Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of all equity-based Awards and the maximum amount that may become payable pursuant to all cash-based
Awards that may be granted to a Service Provider as compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director during any calendar year shall
not exceed [$_________] for such Service Provider’s first year of service as a Non-Employee Director and [$_______] for each year thereafter. |
| (g) | Share Reserve. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times keep available such
number of Shares authorized for issuance as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. |
5. | Administration. The Plan will be administered by the
Administrator. |
| (a) | Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator will have
the authority, in its discretion to: |
| (i) | determine Fair Market Value; |
| (ii) | select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted; |
| (iii) | determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to Participants under the Plan and number of the
Shares to be covered by each Award; |
| (iv) | approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan; |
| (v) | determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award. Such
terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria),
any vesting criteria or Periods of Restriction, any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture or repurchase restrictions, and any restriction
or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole
discretion, will determine; |
| (vi) | construe and interpret the terms of the Plan, any Award Agreement, and Awards granted pursuant to the
Plan; |
| (vii) | prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations
relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws and/or qualifying for preferred tax treatment
under applicable tax laws; |
| (viii) | modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 18(c)), including (A) the discretionary authority to
extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards and (B) accelerate the satisfaction of any vesting criteria or waiver of forfeiture
or repurchase restrictions; |
| (ix) | allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from
the Shares or cash to be issued upon exercise or vesting of an Award that number of the Shares or cash having a Fair Market Value equal
to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of any Shares to be withheld will be determined on the date that the amount
of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares or cash withheld for this purpose will be made
in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; |
| (x) | authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant
of an Award previously granted by the Administrator; |
| (xi) | allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of the Shares that would
otherwise be due to such Participant under an Award, subject to compliance (or exemption) from Code Section 409A; |
| (xii) | determine whether Awards will be settled in cash, Shares, other securities, other property, or in any
combination thereof; |
| (xiii) | determine whether Awards will be adjusted for dividend equivalents; |
| (xiv) | create Other Stock-Based Awards for issuance under the Plan; |
| (xv) | impose such restrictions, conditions, or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing
and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any securities issued as a result of or under an Award, including without limitation,
(A) restrictions under an insider trading policy, and (B) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or
other transfers; and |
| (xvi) | make all other determinations and take any other action deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan and
due compliance with Applicable Laws, stock market or exchange rules or regulations or accounting or tax rules or regulations. |
| (b) | Prohibition on Repricing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section
5(a) and except for an adjustment pursuant to Section 14 or a repricing approved by shareholders, in no case may the Administrator (i)
amend an outstanding Stock Option or SAR Award to reduce the exercise price of the Award, (ii) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding
Stock Option or SAR in exchange for cash or other awards for the purpose of repricing the Award, or (iii) cancel, exchange, or surrender
an outstanding Stock Option or SAR in exchange for an option or SAR with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the
original Award. |
| (c) | Section 16. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as
exempt under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder will be approved by the entire Board or a committee of two
or more Non-Employee Directors. |
| (d) | Delegation of Authority. Except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Laws,
the Administrator may delegate to one or more officers of the Company some or all of its authority under the Plan, including the authority
to grant all types of Awards, in accordance with Applicable Law (except that such delegation shall not apply to any Award for a Participant
then covered by Section 16 of the Exchange Act), and the Administrator may delegate to one or more committees of the Board (which may
consist solely of one Director) some or all of its authority under this Plan, including the authority to grant all types of Awards, in
accordance with Applicable Law. Such delegation may be revoked at any time. The acts of such delegates shall be treated as acts of the
Administrator, and such delegates shall report regularly to the Administrator regarding the delegated duties and responsibilities and
any Awards granted. |
| (e) | Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations,
and interpretations will be final and binding on all persons, including Participants and any other holders of Awards. |
| 6. | Eligibility. The Administrator has the discretion to select any Service Provider to receive an
Award, although Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Designation of a Participant in any year shall not require the
Administrator to designate such person to receive an Award in any other year or, once designated, to receive the same type or amount of
Award as granted to the Participant in any other year. The Administrator shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting
Participants and in determining the type and amount of their respective Awards. |
| 7. | Stock Options. The Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Stock Options under the Plan to Service Providers.
Each Stock Option shall be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the Plan as the Administrator may impose from time to
time, subject to the following limitations: |
| (a) | Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of a Stock Option will be determined
by the Administrator, but shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant, subject to Section 7(e).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Stock Option that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price for Shares subject to such
Stock Option may be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; provided that the exercise price of any Substitute
Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Code Sections 424 and 409A. |
| (b) | Exercise Period. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms
and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that no Stock Option shall be exercisable
later than ten (10) years after the date it is granted. Stock Options shall terminate at such earlier times and upon such conditions or
circumstances as the Administrator shall in its discretion set forth in such Award Agreement at the date of grant; provided, however,
the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, later waive any such condition. |
| (c) | Payment of Exercise Price. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Participant may pay
the Stock Option exercise price by: |
| (iii) | surrender of other Shares which meet the conditions established by the Administrator to avoid adverse
accounting consequences to the Company (as determined by the Administrator); |
| (iv) | if approved by the Administrator, as determined in its sole discretion, by a broker-assisted cashless
exercise in accordance with procedures approved by the Administrator, whereby payment of the exercise price may be satisfied, in whole
or in part, with Shares subject to the Stock Option by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed
by the Administrator) to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate exercise
price; |
| (v) | if approved by the Administrator for a Nonqualified Stock Option, as determined in its sole discretion,
by delivery of a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, pursuant to which the Participant shall receive the number of Shares
underlying the Stock Option so exercised reduced by the number of Shares equal to the aggregate exercise
price of the Stock Option divided by the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise; |
| (vi) | such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by
Applicable Laws; or |
| (vii) | any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. |
| (d) | Exercise of Stock Option. |
| (i) | Procedure for Exercise. Any Stock Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the
terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement.
A Stock Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. Exercising a Stock Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares
thereafter available for purchase under the Stock Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Stock Option is exercised. |
| (ii) | Exercise Requirements. A Stock Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (A)
written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Stock Option,
and (B) full payment of the exercise price (including provision for any applicable tax withholding). |
| (iii) | Non-Exempt Employees. If a Stock Option is granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Stock Option will not be first exercisable for any Shares until at least six (6) months following
the date of grant of the Stock Option (although the Stock Option may vest prior to such date). Consistent with the provisions of the Worker
Economic Opportunity Act, (A) if such non-exempt Employee dies or suffers a Disability, (B) upon a Change in Control in which such Stock
Option is not assumed, continued, or substituted, or (C) upon the Participant’s retirement (as such term may be defined in the Participant’s
Award Agreement, in another agreement between the Participant and the Company, or, if no such definition, in accordance with the then
current employment policies and guidelines of the Company or employing Subsidiary), the vested portion of any Stock Option may be exercised
earlier than six (6) months following the date of grant. The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by
a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of a Stock Option will be exempt from the Participant’s regular
rate of pay. To the extent permitted and/or required for compliance with the Worker Economic Opportunity Act to ensure that any income
derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise, vesting, or issuance of any Shares under any other Award will be exempt
from the employee’s regular rate of pay, the provisions of this Section 7(d)(iii) will apply to all Awards and are hereby incorporated by reference
into such Award Agreements. |
| (iv) | Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider,
the Participant may exercise the Stock Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the
Stock Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Stock Option as set forth
in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Stock Option will remain exercisable for three
(3) months (or twelve (12) months in the case of termination on account of Disability or death) following the Participant’s termination.
If a Participant commits an act of Cause, all vested and unvested Stock Options shall be forfeited as of such date. Unless otherwise provided
by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to a Stock Option, the Shares covered by the unvested
portion of the Stock Option will be forfeited and will revert to the Plan and again will become available for grant under the Plan. If
after termination, the Participant does not exercise a Stock Option as to all of the vested Shares within the time specified by the Administrator,
the Stock Option will terminate, and remaining Shares covered by such Stock Option will be forfeited and will revert to the Plan and again
will become available for grant under the Plan. |
| (v) | Extension of Exercisability. A Participant may not exercise a Stock Option at any time that the
issuance of Shares upon such exercise would violate Applicable Laws. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if a Participant
ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason other than for Cause and, at any time during the last thirty (30) days of the applicable
post-termination exercise period: (A) the exercise of the Participant’s Stock Option would be prohibited solely because the issuance
of Shares upon such exercise would violate Applicable Laws, or (B) the immediate sale of any Shares issued upon such exercise would violate
the Company’s trading policy, then the applicable post-termination exercise period will be extended to the last day of the calendar
month that commences following the date the Award would otherwise expire, with an additional extension of the exercise period to the last
day of the next calendar month to apply if any of the foregoing restrictions apply at any time during such extended exercise period, generally
without limitation as to the maximum permitted number of extensions); provided, however, that in no event may such Award
be exercised after the expiration of its maximum term. |
| (vi) | Beneficiary. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Stock Option may be exercised
following the Participant’s death by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated
and received by the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such
beneficiary has been properly designated by the Participant, then such Stock Option may be exercised by the personal representative of
the Participant’s estate or by the persons to whom the Stock Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in
accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. |
| (vii) | Shareholder Rights. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a
duly authorized transfer agent or depositary of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder
will exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Stock Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or
other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14 or the applicable Award
Agreement. |
| (e) | Incentive Stock Option Limitations. |
| (i) | Each Stock Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonqualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all
plans of the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Stock Options will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.
For purposes of this Section 7(e)(i), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The
Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Stock Option is granted. |
| (ii) | In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term will be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such
shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who,
at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from
the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. |
| (iii) | No Stock Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless this Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company
in a manner intended to comply with the shareholder approval requirements of Code Section 422(b)(1), provided that any Stock Option intended
to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such
Stock Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock
Option unless and until such approval is obtained. |
| (iv) | In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to and comply with such rules as
may be prescribed by Code Section 422. If for any reason a Stock Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof)
shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Stock Option or portion thereof shall
be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under this Plan. |
| 8. | Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant SARs
to Service Providers. Each SAR shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, as the Administrator may impose
from time to time, subject to the following limitations: |
| (a) | SAR Award Agreement. Each SAR Award will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify
the exercise price, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, will determine. |
| (b) | Number of Shares. The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Shares
subject to any SAR Award. |
| (c) | Exercise Price and Other Terms. The per share exercise price for the Shares that will determine
the amount of the payment to be received upon exercise of a SAR will be determined by the Administrator and will be no less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a SAR that is a
Substitute Award, the exercise price for Shares subject to such SAR may be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant;
provided that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Code Sections
424 and 409A. Otherwise, the Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms
and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan. |
| (d) | Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR granted under the Plan will expire upon the date
determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules
of Section 7(d) relating to the maximum term and exercise also will apply to SARs. |
| (e) | Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant will be entitled
to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: |
| (i) | The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price;
times |
| (ii) | The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. |
| (f) | Payment Form. At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in
cash, in Shares, other securities, or other property of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. |
| (g) | Tandem Awards. Any Stock Option granted under this Plan may include tandem SARs (i.e.,
SARs granted in conjunction with an Award of Stock Options under this Plan). The Administrator also may award SARs to a Service Provider
independent of any Stock Option. |
| 9. | Restricted Stock. The Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted
Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine, subject to the following limitations: |
| (a) | Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement
that will specify the Period of Restriction and the applicable restrictions, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions
as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Restricted Stock may be awarded in consideration for (i) cash, check, bank
draft or money order payable to the Company, (ii) past services to the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary, or (iii) any other form
of legal consideration (including future services) that may be acceptable to the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and permissible
under Applicable Laws. |
| (b) | Removal of Restrictions. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Restricted Stock will
be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Restricted Stock have lapsed. The Administrator, in its discretion,
may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. |
| (c) | Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, a Participant holding Restricted Stock may exercise
the voting rights applicable to those restricted Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. |
| (d) | Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, a Participant holding Restricted Stock will be entitled
to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Restricted Stock unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.
If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, such Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and
forfeitability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. |
| (e) | Transferability. Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction. |
| (f) | Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted
Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will be forfeited and will revert to the Company and again will
become available for grant under the Plan. |
| 10. | Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant
RSUs under the Plan to Service Providers. Each RSU shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, as the Administrator
may impose from time to time, subject to the following limitations: |
| (a) | RSU Award Agreement. Each Award of RSUs will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify
the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of RSUs and such other terms and conditions as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. |
| (b) | Vesting Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its
discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of RSUs that will be paid out to
the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company wide, business unit, or individual
goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or Service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its
discretion. |
| (c) | Earning Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant
will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the |
Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time
after the grant of RSUs, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive
a payout.
| (d) | Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned RSUs will be made as soon as practicable after
the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle
earned RSUs in cash, Shares, other securities, other property, or a combination of both. |
| (e) | Voting and Dividend Equivalent Rights. The holders of RSUs shall have no voting rights as the
Company’s shareholders. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, RSUs awarded under the Plan may, at the Administrator’s discretion,
provide for a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all dividends paid
on one Share while the RSU is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional RSUs. Settlement of dividend equivalents
may be made in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, other property, or in a combination of the foregoing. Prior to distribution,
any dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the RSUs to which they attach. |
| (f) | Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned RSUs will be forfeited
to the Company. |
| 11. | Other Stock-Based Awards. Other Stock-Based Awards
may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. The Administrator
shall have authority to determine the Service Providers to whom and the time or times at which Other Stock-Based Awards shall be
made, the amount of such Other Stock-Based Awards, and all other conditions of the Other Stock-Based Awards including any dividend
and/or voting rights. |
| (a) | Vesting Conditions. Each Award may or may not be subject to vesting, a Period of Restriction,
and/or other conditions as the Administrator may determine. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the
conditions specified in the Award Agreement. Vesting conditions may include Service-based conditions, performance-based conditions, such
other conditions as the Administrator may determine, or any combination thereof. An Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting
upon certain specified events. |
| (b) | Performance Criteria. The Administrator may establish performance-based conditions for an Award
which may be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company (and/or one or more Subsidiaries, divisions, business
segments or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing) and may include, without limitation, any of the following: (i) net
earnings or net income (before or after taxes); (ii) basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes); (iii) revenue or revenue
growth (measured on a net or gross basis); (iv) gross profit or gross profit growth; (v) operating profit (before or after taxes); (vi)
return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, invested capital, equity, or sales); (vii) cash flow (including,
but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow, net cash provided by operations and cash flow return on capital); (viii) financing
and other capital raising transactions (including, but not limited to, sales of the Company’s equity or debt securities); (ix) earnings
before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization; (x) gross or operating margins; (xi) productivity ratios; (xii) share
price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total shareholder return); (xiii) expense targets; (xiv) margins; (xv) productivity
and operating efficiencies; (xvi) customer satisfaction; (xvii) customer growth; (xviii) working capital targets; (xix) measures of economic
value added; (xx) inventory control; (xxi) enterprise value; (xxii) sales; (xxiii) debt levels and net debt; (xxiv) combined ratio; (xxv)
timely launch of new facilities; (xxvi) client retention; (xxvii) employee retention; (xxviii) timely completion of new product rollouts;
(xxix) cost targets; (xxx) reductions and savings; (xxxi) productivity and efficiencies; (xxxii) strategic partnerships or transactions;
and (xxxiii) personal targets, goals or completion of projects. Any one or more of the performance criteria may be used on an absolute
or relative basis to measure the performance of the Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries as a whole or any business unit(s) of the
Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries or any combination thereof, as the Administrator may deem appropriate, or any of the above performance
criteria may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison or peer companies, or a published or special index that
the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices. The Administrator also has
the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award
based on the achievement of performance criteria specified in this paragraph. Any performance criteria that are financial metrics,
may be determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) or may be
adjusted when established to include or exclude any items otherwise includable or excludable under GAAP. |
| (c) | Default Vesting. Unless otherwise set forth in an individual Award Agreement, each Award shall
vest over a [three (3) year period, with one-third (1/3) of the Award vesting on the first annual anniversary] of the date of grant and
the remaining portion vesting [monthly/quarterly] thereafter. |
| (d) | Leaves of Absence. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during
any Employee’s unpaid leave of absence and will resume on the date the Employee returns to work on a regular schedule as determined
by the Administrator; provided, however, that no vesting credit will be awarded for the time vesting has been suspended
during such leave of absence. A Service Provider will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by
the Company or the employing Subsidiary, although any leave of absence not provided for in the applicable employee manual of the Company
or employing Subsidiary needs to be approved by the Administrator, or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company,
its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no leave of absence may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment
upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by
the Company or employing Subsidiary is not so guaranteed, then three (3) months following the 91st day of such leave any Incentive Stock
Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for federal tax purposes as a
Nonqualified Stock Option. |
| (e) | In the event a Service Provider’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of services for the Company, its Parent,
or any Subsidiary is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Service Provider is an Employee of the Company and the Employee
has a change in status from a full-time Employee to a part-time Employee) after the date of grant of any Award to the Service Provider,
the Administrator has the right in its sole discretion to (i) make a corresponding reduction in the number of Shares subject to any portion
of such Award that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (ii) in lieu of or in
combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting or payment schedule applicable to such Award. In the event of any such reduction,
the Service Provider will have no right with respect to any portion of the Award that is so reduced or extended. |
| 13. | Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may
not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner, except to the Participant’s estate or legal
representative, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant,
only by the Participant, although the Administrator, in its discretion, may permit Award transfers for purposes of estate planning
or charitable giving. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions
as the Administrator deems appropriate. |
| 14. | Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Change in Control. |
| (a) | Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash,
Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate
structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion)
to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under
the Plan, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of Shares which may be delivered
under the Plan, the number, class and price of Shares subject to outstanding awards, and the numerical limits in Section 4. Notwithstanding
the preceding, the number of Shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole number. |
| (b) | Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will
notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion
may provide for a Participant to have the right to exercise an Award, to the extent applicable, until ten (10) days prior to such transaction
as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator
may provide that any Company repurchase option or forfeiture rights applicable to any Award shall lapse 100%, and that any Award vesting
shall accelerate 100%, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the
extent it has not been previously vested and, if applicable, exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation
of such proposed action. |
| (i) | In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent award
substituted by the acquiring or successor corporation or a parent of the acquiring or successor corporation. |
| (ii) | Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, in the event that the successor corporation
refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Award as to
all of the Shares, including those as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all applicable restrictions will
lapse, and all performance objectives and other vesting criteria will
be deemed achieved at targeted levels. If a Stock Option is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator
shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Stock Option shall be exercisable, to the extent vested, for a period
of up to fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Stock Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. |
| (iii) | For the purposes of this Section 14(c), the Award shall be considered assumed if, following the
Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the
Change in Control, the consideration (whether shares, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by
holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however,
that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common shares of the acquiring or successor corporation
or its parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the acquiring or successor corporation, provide for the consideration to
be received, for each Share subject to the Award, to be solely common shares of the acquiring or successor corporation or its parent
equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares in the Change in Control. Payments under
this provision may be delayed to the same extent that payment of consideration to the holders of the Shares in connection with the
Change in Control is delayed as a result of escrows, earn outs, holdbacks, or any other contingencies. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned, or is paid out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will
not be considered assumed if the Company or the acquiring or successor corporation modifies any of such performance goals without
the Participant’s consent; provided, however, that a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the acquiring or successor corporation’s post-Change
in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption. |
| (a) | General. It is a condition to each Award under the Plan that a Participant or such Participant’s
successor shall make such arrangements that may be necessary, in the opinion of the Administrator or the Company, for the satisfaction
of any federal, state, local, or foreign withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with any Award granted under the Plan. The
Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan unless such obligations are satisfied. |
| (b) | Share Withholding. To the extent that Applicable Laws subject a Participant to tax withholding
obligations, the Administrator may permit such Participant to satisfy all or part of such obligations by having the Company, its Parent,
or a Subsidiary withhold all or a portion of any Share that otherwise would be issued to such Participant or by surrendering all or a
portion of any Share that the Participant previously acquired. Such Share shall be valued on the date withheld or surrendered. Any payment
of taxes by assigning Shares to the Company, its Parent, or a Subsidiary may be subject to restrictions, including any restrictions required
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, accounting, or other rules. |
| (c) | Discretionary Nature of Plan. The benefits and rights provided under the Plan are wholly discretionary and, although provided
by the Company, do not constitute regular or periodic payments. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws, the benefits and rights
provided under the Plan are not to be considered part of a Participant’s salary or compensation or for purposes of calculating any
severance, resignation, redundancy or other end of service payments, vacation, bonuses, long-term service awards, indemnification, pension
or retirement benefits, or any other payments, benefits, or rights of any kind. By acceptance of an Award, a Participant waives any and
all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of Service for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights result
or may result from this Plan or any Award. |
| (d) | Code Section 409A. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of,
or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as
otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral
thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A, the Award will be granted, paid, settled, or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements
of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement, or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable
under Code Section 409A. |
| (e) | Deferral of Award Settlement. The Administrator, in its discretion, may permit selected Participants
to elect to defer distributions of Restricted Stock or RSUs in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator to assure that
such deferrals comply with applicable requirements of the Code. Any deferred distribution, whether elected by the Participant or specified
by the Award Agreement or the Administrator, shall comply with Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable. |
| (f) | Limitation on Liability. Neither the Company, nor its Parent, nor any Subsidiary, nor any person
serving as Administrator shall have any liability to a Participant in the event an Award held by the Participant fails to achieve its
intended characterization under applicable tax law. |
| 16. | No Rights as a Service Provider. Neither the Plan, nor an Award Agreement, nor any Award shall
confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing a relationship as a Service Provider, nor shall they interfere in any
way with the right of the Participant or the right of the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary to terminate such relationship at any
time, with or without cause. |
| 17. | Recoupment Policy. All Awards granted under the Plan, all amounts paid under the Plan and all
Shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to recoupment, clawback, or recovery by the Company in accordance with Applicable Laws and
with Company policy (whenever adopted) regarding same, whether or not such policy is intended to satisfy the requirements of the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or other Applicable Laws, as well as any implementing regulations
and/or listing standards. |
18. Amendment
and Termination of the Plan.
| (a) | Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the
Plan. |
| (b) | Shareholder Approval. The Company may obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the
extent necessary or, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, desirable to comply with Applicable Laws, including any
amendment that (i) increases the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan or (ii) changes the persons or class of persons
eligible to receive Awards. |
| (c) | Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of the
Plan will materially impair the rights of any Participant with respect to outstanding Awards, unless mutually agreed otherwise between
the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of
the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted
under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. |
19. Conditions
Upon Issuance of Shares.
| (a) | Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to an Award unless the exercise of such
Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel
for the Company with respect to such compliance. |
| (b) | Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise or receipt of an Award, the Company
may require the person exercising or receiving such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that the
Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion
of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required or desirable. |
| 20. | Severability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement, if any
one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan or an Award Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal,
and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan or Award
Agreement, as applicable, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. |
| 21. | Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory
body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of
any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such
requisite authority will not have been obtained. |
| 22. | Shareholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company
within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree
required under Applicable Laws. All Awards hereunder are contingent on approval of the Plan by shareholders. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, if the Plan is not approved by the shareholders within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted,
the Plan and any Awards hereunder shall be automatically terminated. |
| 23. | Choice of Law. The Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws
of the State of Delaware, without reference to any choice of law principles. |
| (a) | The Plan shall be effective as of_________________ ___, 20__, the date on which the Plan was
adopted by the Board and the Company’s shareholders (the “Effective Date”). |
| (b) | Unless terminated earlier under Section 18, this Plan shall terminate on ___, 20__, ten years after
the Effective Date. |

if issuable, in each case, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;
and
C. the

D. as
a condition of, and as a material inducement for the Purchaser to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by, the Business
Combination Agreement, the Holder has agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement on or before the Closing Date.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in
consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1.
Lock-Up.
a. During
the Lock-up Period (as defined below), the Holder irrevocably agrees that he or she will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or
otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Lock-up Shares (as defined below) (including any securities convertible into,
or exchangeable for, or representing the rights to receive, Lock-up Shares), enter into a transaction that would have the same effect,
or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership
of such Lock-up Shares, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of any such Lock-up Shares, in cash or otherwise,
publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement,
or engage in any Short Sales (as defined below) with respect to any security of the Purchaser.
b. In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Purchaser will (i) place an irrevocable stop order on all Purchaser Common Stock which are Lock-up Shares,
including those which may be covered by a registration statement, and (ii) notify the Purchaser’s transfer agent in writing of the
stop order and the restrictions on such Lock-up Shares under this Agreement and direct the Purchaser’s transfer agent not to process
any attempts by the Holder to resell or transfer any Lock-up Shares, except in compliance with this Agreement.
c. For
purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated
under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and all types of direct
and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return
basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
d. For
purposes of this Agreement, the “Lock-up Period” means the earlier of (A) six months after the consummation
of the Business Combination, (B) the date on which the Purchaser completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction
after the Business Combination that results in all of Purchaser’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common
stock for cash, securities or other property, or (C) the date on which the last reported sale price of the Purchaser’s Common Stock
equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading
days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the completion of Business Combination.
The restrictions set forth herein
shall not apply to: (1) in the case of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, transfers or distributions
to the Holder’s current general or limited partners, managers or members, stockholders, beneficiaries, other equity holders or to
direct or indirect affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (2) transfers by bona fide
gift to a charity or to members of the Holder’s immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family”

of such person and his or her spouse (or spousal equivalent), and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children
and parents) of such person and his or her spouses (or equivalent) and siblings) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the Holder
or a member of the Holder’s immediate family for estate planning purposes; (3) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution
upon death of the Holder; (4) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, provided that in each case (i) such transferee, distributee
or devisee shall agree to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement prior to such transfer or disposition; (ii) such transfer
or disposition shall not involve a disposition for value; (iii) any required public report or filing (including filings under the Exchange
Act) shall disclose the nature of such transfer or disposition and that the Lock-up Shares remain subject to the lock-up restrictions
herein; and (iv) there shall be no voluntary public disclosure or other announcement of such transfer or disposition; (5) transactions
relating to the Purchaser Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Purchaser Common Stock
acquired in open market transactions after the Closing; (6) the exercise of any options or warrants to purchase Purchaser Common Stock

Exhibit 10.30
Form of Indemnification Agreement
This Indemnification Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 26, 2024 (the “Effective Date”) by and between
Foxx Development Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Indemnitee”).
Recitals
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors
has determined that the inability to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries
is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there
shall be adequate certainty of protection through insurance and indemnification against risks of claims and actions against them arising
out of their service to and activities on behalf of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted
provisions in its Bylaws (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”) providing for indemnification
and advancement of expenses of its directors and officers, and the Company wishes to clarify and enhance the rights and obligations of
the Company and the Indemnitee with respect to indemnification and advancement of expenses;
WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a director,
officer and/or employee of the Company and/or its subsidiaries, and/or is serving another enterprise at the Company’s request, and
in order to induce and encourage highly experienced and capable persons such as the Indemnitee to serve and continue to serve as directors
and officers of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and in any other capacity with respect to the Company as the Company may request,
and to otherwise promote the desirable end that such persons shall resist what they consider unjustified lawsuits and claims made against
them in connection with the good faith performance of their duties to the Company, with the knowledge that certain costs, judgments, penalties,
fines, liabilities, and expenses incurred by them in their defense of such litigation are to be borne by the Company and they shall receive
appropriate protection against such risks and liabilities, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the following Agreement
is reasonable and prudent to promote and ensure the best interests of the Company and its stockholders; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires
to have the Indemnitee serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and in any other capacity
with respect to the Company as the Company may request, as the case may be, free from undue concern for unpredictable, inappropriate,
or unreasonable legal risks and personal liabilities by reason of the Indemnitee acting in good faith in the performance of the Indemnitee’s
duties; and the Indemnitee desires to continue so to serve, provided, and on the express condition, that he or she is furnished with the
protections set forth hereinafter.
Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the Indemnitee’s continued service as a director, officer and/or employee of the Company and/or its subsidiaries, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1.
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
(a)
A “Change in Control” will be deemed to have occurred if, with respect to any particular 24-month period, the
individuals who, at the beginning of such 24-month period, constituted the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Incumbent
Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that
any individual becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such 24-month period whose election, or nomination for election by the
stockholders of the Company, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall
be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose
initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of
directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board of Directors.
(b)
“Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not or was not a party to the Proceeding in
respect of which indemnification is being sought by the Indemnitee.
(c)
“Expenses” includes, without limitation, expenses incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any
action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, judicial, administrative, or legislative
hearing, or any other threatened, pending, or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company and/or its subsidiaries
or otherwise, including any and all appeals, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, investigative, or other nature,
attorneys’ fees, witness fees and expenses, fees and expenses of accountants, expert witnesses and other advisors, retainers and
disbursements and advances thereon, the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any bond (including cost bonds, appraisal bonds,
or their equivalents), and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification or advancement under Sections 9, 11, 13, and 16 hereof,
but shall not include the amount of judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, or penalties actually levied against the Indemnitee, or any
amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of the Indemnitee.
(d)
“Independent Counsel” means a law firm or a member of a law firm that neither is presently nor in the past five
years has been retained to represent (i) the Company or the Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party or (ii) any other party
to the Proceeding giving rise to a request for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel”
shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest
in representing either the Company or the Indemnitee in an action to determine the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this
Agreement.
(e)
“Proceeding” means any action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry,
judicial, administrative, or legislative hearing, or any other threatened, pending, or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in
the right of the Company and/or its subsidiaries or otherwise, including any and all appeals, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative,
legislative, investigative, or other nature, to which the Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise
involved in by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of the Company or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, or by reason of anything done or
not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity, whether or not the Indemnitee is serving in such capacity at the time any expense, liability,
or loss is incurred for which indemnification or advancement can be provided under this Agreement.
2.
Service by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall serve and/or continue to serve as a director, officer and/or employee of
the Company and/or its subsidiaries faithfully and to the best of the Indemnitee’s ability so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected
or appointed and until such time as the Indemnitee’s successor is elected and qualified or the Indemnitee is removed as permitted
by applicable law or tenders a resignation. Service at any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed to be service at the request of the
Company for purposes of this Agreement. By entering into this Agreement, Indemnitee is deemed to be serving at the request of the Company,
and the Company is deemed to be requesting such service.
3.
Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee, and shall pay
to the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of any Proceeding all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defending any such
Proceeding, to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”),
as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Without diminishing the scope
of the rights provided by this Section, the rights of the Indemnitee to indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided hereunder
shall include but shall not be limited to those rights hereinafter set forth, except that no indemnification or advancement of Expenses
shall be paid to the Indemnitee (unless the Board of Directors otherwise determines that such payment is appropriate):
(a)
to the extent expressly prohibited by applicable law;
(b)
for and to the extent that payment is actually made to the Indemnitee under a valid and collectible insurance policy or under a
valid and enforceable indemnity clause, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or agreement of the Company or any other
company or other enterprise (and the Indemnitee shall reimburse the Company for any amounts paid by the Company and subsequently so recovered
by the Indemnitee);
(c)
in connection with an action, suit, or proceeding, or part thereof voluntarily initiated by the Indemnitee (including claims and
counterclaims, whether such counterclaims are asserted by (i) the Indemnitee, or (ii) the Company and/or its subsidiaries in an action,
suit, or proceeding initiated by the Indemnitee), except a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 11 to enforce rights
under this Agreement, unless the action, suit, or proceeding, or part thereof, was authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors of
the Company or the Board of Directors otherwise determines that indemnification or advancement of Expenses is appropriate; or
(d)
with respect to any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company and/or its subsidiaries against the Indemnitee that is
authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors of the Company, including any Proceeding brought by the Company and/or its subsidiaries
seeking reimbursement pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board of Directors or the compensation
committee of the Board of Directors, except as provided in Sections 5, 6, and 7 below.
4.
Action or Proceedings Other than an Action by or in the Right of the Company. Except as limited by Section 3 above, the
Indemnitee shall be entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section if the Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to, or was or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company and/or
its subsidiaries) by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of the Company
or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, or by reason of anything
done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity. Pursuant to this Section, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all expense,
liability, and loss (including judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties, amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of the Indemnitee,
and Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith
and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and/or its subsidiaries,
and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
5.
Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Except as limited by Section 3 above, the Indemnitee shall be
entitled to the indemnification rights provided in this Section if the Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to, or was or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company and/or its subsidiaries to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of the Company
or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, or by reason of anything
done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity. Pursuant to this Section, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and/or its subsidiaries; provided,
however, that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which the DGCL expressly prohibits
such indemnification by reason of any adjudication of liability of the Indemnitee to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for such
expense, liability, and loss as such court shall deem proper.
6. Indemnification
for Costs, Charges, and Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any limitations of Sections 3(c), 3(d), 4, and 5 above, to
the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in whole or in part, in defense of any Proceeding,
or in defense of any claim, counterclaim, issue, or matter therein, including, without limitation, the dismissal of any action
without prejudice, or if it is ultimately determined, by final judicial decision of a court of competent jurisdiction from which
there is no further right to appeal, that the Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to be indemnified against Expenses, the Indemnitee
shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith.
7.
Partial Indemnification. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company
for some or a portion of the expense, liability, and loss (including judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties, amounts paid in
settlement by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, and Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any Proceeding, or in
connection with any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 11 below to enforce rights under this Agreement, but not, however,
for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such expense, liability,
and loss actually and reasonably incurred to which the Indemnitee is entitled.
8.
Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the maximum extent
permitted by the DGCL, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the
Indemnitee or on the Indemnitee’s behalf if the Indemnitee appears as a witness or otherwise incurs legal expenses as a result of
or related to the Indemnitee’s service as a director or officer of the Company and/or its subsidiaries, in any threatened, pending,
or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, judicial, administrative, or
legislative hearing, or any other threatened, pending, or completed proceeding, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative,
investigative, or other nature, to which the Indemnitee neither is, nor is threatened to be made, a party.
9.
Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. To receive indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit
a written request to the General Counsel of the Company. Such request shall include a schedule setting forth in detail the dollar amounts
requested, supported by copies of the bill, agreement or other documentation relating thereto (which may be redacted as necessary to avoid
the waiver of any privilege accorded by applicable law) and such other documentation or information that is necessary for such determination
and is reasonably available to the Indemnitee. Upon receipt by the General Counsel of the Company of a written request by the Indemnitee
for indemnification, the entitlement of the Indemnitee to indemnification, to the extent not required pursuant to the terms of Section
6 or Section 8 of this Agreement, shall be determined by the following person or persons who shall be empowered to make such determination
(as selected by the Board of Directors, except with respect to Section 9(e) below): (a) the Board of Directors of the Company by a majority
vote of Disinterested Directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; (b) a committee of Disinterested Directors designated
by a majority vote of such directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; (c) if there are no Disinterested Directors,
or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall
be delivered to the Indemnitee; (d) the stockholders of the Company; or (e) in the event that a Change in Control has occurred, by Independent
Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee. Such Independent Counsel
shall be selected by the Board of Directors and approved by the Indemnitee, except that in the event that a Change in Control has occurred,
Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee. Upon failure of the Board of Directors so to select such Independent Counsel
or upon failure of the Indemnitee so to approve (or so to select, in the event a Change in Control has occurred), such Independent Counsel
shall be selected upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction. The determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be
made and, unless a contrary determination is made, such indemnification shall be paid in full by the Company not later than 60 calendar
days after receipt by the General Counsel of the Company of a written request for indemnification. If the person making such determination
shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as to part (but not all) of the application for indemnification, such
person shall reasonably prorate such partial indemnification among the claims, issues, or matters at issue at the time of the determination.
10. Presumptions and
Effect of Certain Proceedings. The General Counsel of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of the Indemnitee’s written
request for indemnification, advise in writing the Board of Directors or such other person or persons empowered to make the
determination as provided in Section 9 that the Indemnitee has made such request for indemnification. Upon making such request for
indemnification, the Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Company shall have the burden
of proof in making any determination contrary to such presumption. If the person or persons so empowered to make such determination
shall have failed to make the requested determination with respect to indemnification within 60 calendar days after receipt by the
General Counsel of the Company of such request, a requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have
been made and the Indemnitee shall be absolutely entitled to such indemnification, absent actual fraud in the request for
indemnification. The termination of any Proceeding described in Sections 4 or 5 by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or
upon a plea of nobo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself (a) create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner the
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and/or its subsidiaries, and with
respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful or (b) otherwise adversely
affect the rights of the Indemnitee to indemnification except as may be provided herein.
11. Remedies
of the Indemnitee in Cases of Determination Not to Indemnify or to Advance Expenses; Right to Bring Suit. In the event that a
determination is made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or if payment is not timely made following a
determination of entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Sections 9 and 10, or if an advancement of Expenses is not timely made
pursuant to Section 16, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company seeking an adjudication of
entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses, and any such suit shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware unless otherwise required by the law of the state in which the Indemnitee primarily resides and works.
Alternatively, the Indemnitee at the Indemnitee’s option may seek an award in an arbitration to be conducted by a single
arbitrator in the State of Delaware pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, such award to be made within 60
calendar days following the filing of the demand for arbitration. The Company shall not oppose the Indemnitee’s right to seek
any such adjudication or award in arbitration. In any suit or arbitration brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to
indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit or arbitration brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of
Expenses), it shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in
the DGCL, including the standard described in Section 4 or 5, as applicable. Further, in any suit brought by the Company to recover
an advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such Expenses upon a
final judicial decision of a court of competent jurisdiction from which there is no further right to appeal that the Indemnitee has
not met the standard of conduct described above. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Disinterested Directors, a
committee of Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such suit or arbitration that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the
Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct described above, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Disinterested
Directors, a committee of Disinterested Directors, Independent Counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met the
standard of conduct described above shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct described
above, or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to
enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of Expenses hereunder, or brought by the Company to recover an advancement
of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or
to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 11 or otherwise shall be on the Company. If a determination is made or deemed to
have been made pursuant to the terms of Section 9 or 10 that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be
bound by such determination and is precluded from asserting that such determination has not been made or that the procedure by which
such determination was made is not valid, binding, and enforceable. The Company further agrees to stipulate in any court or before
any arbitrator pursuant to this Section 11 that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and is precluded from
making any assertions to the contrary. If the court or arbitrator shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to any
indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder, the Company shall pay all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with such adjudication or award in arbitration (including, but not limited to, any appellate proceedings)
to the fullest extent permitted by law, and in any suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of Expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, the Company shall pay all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with
such suit to the extent the Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in whole or in part, in defense of such
suit, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
12.
Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other right that the Indemnitee may now or hereafter acquire under any applicable law, agreement (including
any partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement), vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors, provisions of an entity’s
organizational documents (including the Company’s certificate of incorporation (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to
time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and the Bylaws), or otherwise.
13.
Expenses to Enforce Agreement. In the event that the Indemnitee is subject to or intervenes in any action, suit, or proceeding
in which the validity or enforceability of this Agreement is at issue or seeks an adjudication or award in arbitration to enforce the
Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, the Indemnitee, if the Indemnitee prevails in whole
or in part in such action, suit, or proceeding, shall be entitled to recover from the Company and shall be indemnified by the Company
against any Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith.
14.
Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period
the Indemnitee is a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of the Company and/or its subsidiaries or is serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or
other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, and shall continue thereafter with respect to any possible
claims based on the fact that the Indemnitee was a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of the Company and/or its subsidiaries
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan. This Agreement shall be binding
upon all successors and assigns of the Company (including any transferee of all or substantially all of its assets and any successor by
merger or operation of law) and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors, and administrators.
15.
Notification and Defense of Proceeding. Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee
shall, if a request for indemnification or an advancement of Expenses in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this
Agreement, notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company shall not relieve it from
any liability that it may have to the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any such Proceeding
of which the Indemnitee notifies the Company:
(a)
The Company shall be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;
(b)
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 15(b), to the extent that it may wish, the Company, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly notified, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. After
notice from the Company to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof except
as otherwise provided below. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ the Indemnitee’s own counsel in such Proceeding, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the
expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the
defense of such Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not within 60 calendar days of receipt of notice from the Indemnitee in fact have
employed counsel to assume the defense of the Proceeding, in each of which cases the Expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall
be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of
the Company or as to which the Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above; and
(c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement
for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent, or for any judicial or other
award, if the Company was not given an opportunity, in accordance with this Section 15, to participate in the defense of such Proceeding.
The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on or disclosure obligation with
respect to the Indemnitee, or that would directly or indirectly constitute or impose any admission or acknowledgment of fault or culpability
with respect to the Indemnitee, without the Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Company nor the Indemnitee shall unreasonably
withhold its consent to any proposed settlement.
16.
Advancement of Expenses. Except as limited by Section 3 above, all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defending any
Proceeding described in Section 4 or 5 shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding at the request
of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee’s right to advancement shall not be subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct and
advances shall be made without regard to the Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the provisions of this Agreement
or otherwise. To receive an advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit a written request to the General
Counsel of the Company. Such request shall include a schedule with supporting documentation relating thereto, setting forth in detail
the Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee (which may be redacted as necessary to avoid the waiver of any privilege accorded by applicable
law), and shall include or be accompanied by an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it
shall ultimately be determined, by final judicial decision of a court of competent jurisdiction from which there is no further right to
appeal, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses by the Company as provided by this Agreement or otherwise.
For the avoidance of doubt, a single undertaking by the Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 16 may cover all funds advanced from time
to time in respect of a Proceeding. The Indemnitee agrees to repay all such amounts promptly following any such final judicial decision.
The Indemnitee’s undertaking to repay any such amounts is not required to be secured. Each such advancement of Expenses shall be
made within 20 calendar days after the receipt by the General Counsel of the Company of such written request. The Indemnitee’s entitlement
to Expenses under this Agreement shall include those incurred in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding by the Indemnitee seeking
an adjudication or award in arbitration pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement (including the enforcement of this provision) to the
extent the court or arbitrator shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to an advancement of Expenses hereunder.
17.
Severability; Prior Indemnification Agreements. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted
by law (a) the validity, legality, and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable, that are not by themselves invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other
persons or entities or circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision
held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to

[Director Address]
Dear [Director],
As we have discussed, Foxx Development Inc. (“Foxx”)
and Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: ACAC) (“Acri”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, have
entered into a Business Combination Agreement (“BCA”) to merge our companies to form Foxx Development Holdings Inc. (“Pubco”),
which will be a new Delaware holding company. Pubco has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”)
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to the proposed business combination (the “Business
Combination”). We anticipate that Pubco will be listed on Nasdaq following the closing of the Business Combination under the ticker
symbol “FOXX.”
We are pleased to advise you that we are interested
in having you serve as an independent director of the Pubco Board of Directors, to commence on the closing of the Business Combination.
This is contingent upon (i) your completion and our review of the enclosed Questionnaire (“D&O Questionnaire”); (ii) confirmation
that you would be deemed to be an “independent director” under applicable Nasdaq rules, and (iii) formal approval of your
appointment by the Board of Pubco.
Any determination with respect to your participation
on Board committees will be made closer to the time of the Business Combination.
Directors will be compensated by a combination
of annual cash payments and equity awards. Although the Pubco Board will determine the specifics of the non-employee director policy after
the Business Combination, we anticipate that the annual cash compensation will be approximately $100,000 per year. In addition, Pubco will procure director and officer liability insurance, and we anticipate that Pubco will enter into indemnity
agreements with its directors.
The members of the post-Business Combination Board
will consist of Joy Yi Hua from Acri as Chairwoman and Haitao Cui from Foxx. Under Nasdaq rules, the Board is required to have a majority
of independent directors.
If you accept, we will need to obtain an SEC code
for you with respect to the SEC filings that will need to be made to disclose your position as a director. This invite is submitted to
you with the understanding that you will comply with all applicable policies, codes and charters of Pubco. Copies of the policies, codes
and charters will be provided to you as soon as they are finalized, prior to the Business Combination.
Finally, if you are appointed, you will serve on
the Board until your successor is elected or appointed and qualified, or until your earlier departure from the board. Kindly confirm that
you know of no reason why you would be precluded from serving as a member of the Board or any of its committees, either because of existing
competition restrictions or fiduciary duty obligations or otherwise, or whether you believe that you would not be deemed to be independent
under the Nasdaq rules. I have attached a copy of the applicable rules to this letter.
If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact
us. We are excited about the possibility of having you join us and look forward to receiving your acceptance, consent and agreement by
signature below!
Sincerely,
Joy Yi Hua
Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation
Haitao Cui

“Family Member” means a person’s spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law,
brothers and sisters-in-law, and anyone (other than domestic employees) who shares such person’s home. The following persons shall not
be considered independent:

in paragraph (B), audit committee members are also subject to additional, more stringent requirements under Rule 5605(c)(2).
| (C) | a director who is a Family Member of an individual who is, or
at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company as an Executive Officer; |
| (D) | a director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a partner
in, or a controlling Shareholder or an Executive Officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received,
payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated
gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following: |
| (i) | payments arising solely from investments in the Company’s securities;
or |
| (ii) | payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching
programs. |
| (E) | a director of the Company who is, or has a Family Member who
is, employed as an Executive Officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any of the Executive Officers of
the Company serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; or |
| (F) | a director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a current
partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor who worked on the Company’s audit
at any time during any of the past three years. |
| (G) | in the case of an investment company, in lieu of paragraphs
(A)-(F), a director who is an “interested person” of the Company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the board of directors or any board committee. |

committee members under Rule 10A- 3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act:
Independence requirements for non-investment
company issuers. In order to be considered to be independent for purposes of this paragraph (b)(1), a member of an audit committee
of a listed issuer that is not an investment company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the
board of directors, or any other board committee:
| (A) | Accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other
compensatory fee from the issuer or any subsidiary thereof, provided that, unless the rules of the national securities exchange or national
securities association provide otherwise, compensatory fees do not include the receipt of fixed amounts of compensation under a retirement
plan (including deferred compensation) for prior service with the listed issuer (provided that such compensation is not contingent in
any way on continued service); or |
| (B) | Be an affiliated person of the issuer or any subsidiary thereof.

securities of any Competitor that is listed on any securities exchange or recognized securities market anywhere. The Executive shall
notify the Company in writing of any interest in such shares or securities in a timely manner and with such details and particulars
as the Company may reasonably require.
4. NO BREACH OF CONTRACT
The Executive hereby represents
to the Company that: (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Executive and the performance by the Executive of the Executive’s
duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene, the terms of any other agreement or policy to which the Executive

bound by any confidentiality, trade secret or similar agreement (other than this) with any other person or entity except for other member(s)

the compensation committee of the Board (or the Board itself, before the formation of the compensation committee). |

misappropriation or embezzlement, (ii) the Executive has been negligent or acted dishonestly to the detriment of the Company, (iii)
the Executive has engaged in actions amounting to misconduct or failed to perform the duties hereunder and such failure continues
after the Executive is afforded a reasonable opportunity to cure such failure, (iv) the Executive has died, or (v) the Executive has

unless a longer period is required by applicable law, in which case that longer period would apply. |
In addition, the Company may
terminate the Employment without cause, at any time, upon one-month prior written notice to the Executive. Upon termination without cause,
the Company shall provide the Executive with a severance payment in cash in an amount equal to the Executive’s 3-month salary at

accrued remuneration, fees, wrongful dismissal or any other claim whatsoever against the Company or its subsidiaries or the respective

existing authority and responsibilities, the Executive may resign upon one-month prior written notice to the Company. In addition, the
Executive may resign prior to the expiration of the Agreement if such resignation is approved by the Board or an alternative arrangement
with respect to the Employment is agreed to by the Board. |

FOXX DEVELOPMENT HOLDINGS INC.
Employee
Proprietary Information AND INVENTION ASSIGNMENT Agreement
As a condition of my employment
with Foxx Development Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns (collectively, the “Company”)
and in consideration of my receipt of confidential information and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by Company,
I agree to the following terms and conditions of this Employee Proprietary Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “Agreement”)
which shall become effective on the earlier of (i) the date this Agreement is signed, or (ii) the date an employment agreement and non-disclosure
agreement is entered into with Foxx Development Holdings Inc. (the “Effective Date”):
1. No
Contract of Employment. I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. MY EMPLOYMENT
WITH THE COMPANY IS FOR AN UNSPECIFIED DURATION AND CONSTITUTES “AT-WILL” EMPLOYMENT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT ANY REPRESENTATION
TO THE CONTRARY IS UNAUTHORIZED AND NOT VALID UNLESS OBTAINED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE COMPANY’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OR
PRESIDENT. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP MAY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE OR FOR ANY OR NO
CAUSE, AT THE OPTION EITHER OF THE COMPANY OR MYSELF, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE.
2. Confidential
Information.
(a) Company
Information. I agree at all times during and after the term of my employment and thereafter to hold in strictest confidence, and not
to access or use, except for the benefit of the Company, any of the Company’s Confidential Information (defined below); or disclose
to any person, firm or corporation any of the Company’s Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company’s management
in connection with my authorized duties on behalf of the Company, and then only pursuant to a written non-disclosure agreement that sufficiently
protects the Confidential Information. I understand that “Confidential Information” means any and all confidential
or otherwise proprietary information, including but not limited to Inventions (defined below) and information that relates to the Company’s
actual or anticipated business or research and development, technical data, Trade Secrets (defined below), or know-how, including, but
not limited to, research, product plans or other information regarding the Company’s products or services and markets therefor,
customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, the Company’s customers on whom I called or with whom I became acquainted
during the term of my employment), software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering,
hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business information. I further understand that Confidential Information
(A) includes the foregoing information even if disclosed to me in connection with the contemplation of my becoming an employee of the
Company, i.e. prior to the Effective Date, and (B) information which is claimed by the Company’s clients, prospects, and third party
vendors to be proprietary and which the Company has obligations to keep confidential..
(b) Disclosures
Required by Law. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section do not extend to, and I will not be held criminally or
civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law, or any other applicable law, for, any disclosure of Confidential Information
that is: (i) required to be disclosed pursuant to subpoena, order of judicial or administrative authority, or in connection with judicial
or administrative proceedings to which the Company is or I am a party; (ii) made in confidence to any government official, either directly
or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (iii) in a
complaint or other document that is filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. I shall give the Company
written notice of any such disclosure under this Section as soon as possible and to the extent possible at least 14 days prior to such
disclosure in order to provide the Company with an opportunity, at the Company’s sole expense, to oppose and/or object to such disclosure,
and any such disclosure is subject to all applicable governmental and judicial protection available for like material.
(c) Defend
Trade Secrets Act Exemptions. Nothing contained in this Agreement prohibits me from disclosing a Trade Secret (defined below) (a)
in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose
of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding,
if such filing is made under seal. If I file a lawsuit alleging retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law,
I may disclose Trade Secrets to my attorney and may use Trade Secrets in the court proceeding, if any document containing such Trade Secrets
is filed under seal and if I do not disclose the Trade Secret, except pursuant to court order. “Trade Secret”
means all trade secrets as defined under applicable federal and state law.
(d) Former
Employer Information. I agree that I will not, during my employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any confidential
or proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity and that I will not bring onto the premises
of the Company any confidential or proprietary information belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing
by such employer, person or entity.
(e) Third
Party Information. I recognize that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential
or proprietary information, subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use
it only for certain limited purposes. I agree to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and
not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent
with the Company’s agreement with such third party.
(f) Provision
of Confidential Information. The Company agrees to provide me with certain Confidential Information regarding the Company that will
enable me to optimize the performance of my duties to the Company. I agree that the Company will have no obligation to make available
to me any of its Confidential Information after the termination of my employment.
3. Inventions.
(a) Assignment
of Inventions. I agree that all Inventions (defined below) and Intellectual Property Rights (defined below) shall be the sole and
exclusive property of the Company. I will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company and will hold in trust for the sole right
and benefit of the Company all Inventions and Intellectual Property Rights. I and hereby irrevocably assign to the Company, or its designee,
all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements,
designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, software
(including source code and object code and including model objects or other saved model formats which are output from the model training
or development process), formulae, know-how, algorithms, data, databases, and other work product of any nature whatsoever, which I may
solely or jointly create, discover, conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice,
(i) during the course of my performance of my job duties for the Company, (ii) in reliance upon or which incorporate the Company’s
Confidential Information, or (iii) using any facilities, equipment, intellectual property, or other resources of the Company (regardless
of when or where the work product is prepared), and all printed, physical, and electronic copies thereof, all improvements, rights, and
claims related to the foregoing, and any other tangible embodiments thereof, (collectively, “Inventions”) and
Intellectual Property Rights, including, without limitation, the right to sue, counterclaim, and recover for all past, present, and future
infringement, or other violation thereof, except as provided in Section 3(d) below. I further
acknowledge that all of the Inventions and Intellectual Property Rights which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire”
as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. I understand and agree that the decision whether or not to commercialize or
market any Invention and/or Intellectual Property Rights is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole
benefit and that no royalty will be due to me as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Invention
and/or Intellectual Property Rights. “Intellectual Property Rights” means any and all intellectual property
or other proprietary rights embedded in or arising out of the Inventions, including but not limited to copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks
(and related goodwill), mask works, and patents, arising in any jurisdiction throughout the world and all related rights of priority.
I will promptly disclose to the Company, or any persons designated by it, all Inventions and/or Intellectual Property Rights made, conceived,
reduced to practice, developed, originated or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others.
(b) Inventions
Assigned to the United States. I agree to assign to the United States government all my right, title, and interest in and to any and
all Inventions whenever such full title is required to be in the name of the United States government by a contract between the Company
and the United States or any of its agencies.
(c) Maintenance
of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions and Intellectual Property Rights during
the term of my employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and any other format that may
be specified by the Company. The records will be available to the Company and shall remain the Company’s sole property at all times.
(d) Exception
to Assignments; License to Other Inventions. I understand that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions
to the Company do not apply to any invention that I have developed entirely on my own time without using the Company’s equipment,
supplies, facilities, trade secret information or Confidential Information (an “Other Invention”) except for
those Other Inventions that result from any work that I performed for the Company. I have attached hereto as Exhibit A a list
describing all Other Inventions, or, if no such list is attached or if Exhibit A is unsigned, I represent and warrant that there
are no such Other Inventions. I agree that I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any Other Invention owned by me or in
which I have an interest into a Company product, process or service without the Company’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into a Company product, process or service
an Other Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest, I hereby grant to the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up,
irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to reproduce, make derivative works of, distribute, perform, display,
import, make, have made, modify, use, sell, offer to sell, and exploit in any other way such Other Invention as part of or in connection
with such product, process or service, and to practice any method related thereto.
4. Solicitation
of Employees. I agree that for a period of one (1) year immediately following the termination of my relationship with the Company
for any reason, whether with or without cause, at the option either of the Company or myself, with or without notice, I will not, either
directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment, or hire
or take away such employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage, hire or take away employees of the Company, either for
myself or for any other person or entity.
5. Employee
Representations and Warranties. To the extent permitted under applicable law, I represent and warrant that (i) I have the right to
make the assignment set forth in Section 3(a); (ii) the assignment granted in Section 3(a) does not violate any obligations by which I
am bound; (iii) Inventions and related Intellectual Property Rights created by me do not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise
violate any third party intellectual property or other proprietary rights; and (iv) I do not need to use and will not use any Other Invention
in the performance of its employment obligations for the Company.
6. Interference.
I agree that during the course of my employment and for a period of one (1) year immediately following the termination of my relationship
with the Company for any reason, whether with or without cause, at the option either of the Company or myself, with or without notice,
I will not, either directly or indirectly, interfere with the Company’s customer relationships.
7.
Covenant Not to Compete.
(a) I
agree that during the course of my employment and for a period of one (1) year immediately following the termination of my relationship
with the Company for any reason, whether with or without cause, at the option either of the Company or myself, with or without notice,
I will not, either directly or indirectly, (i) serve as an advisor, agent, consultant, director, employee, officer, partner, proprietor
or otherwise of, (ii) have any ownership interest in (except for passive ownership of one percent (1%) or less of any entity whose securities
have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
or (iii) participate in the organization, financing, operation, management or control of, any business in competition with the Company’s
business as conducted by the Company at any time during the course of my employment with the Company. The foregoing covenant shall cover
my activities in every part of the Territory. “Territory” shall mean (i) all counties in the State of Texas,
(ii) all other states of the United States of America and (iii) all other countries of the world; provided that, with respect to clauses
(ii) and (iii), the Company maintains non-trivial operations, facilities, or customers in such geographic area prior to the date of the
termination of my relationship with the Company.]
(b) I
acknowledge that my fulfillment of the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, my obligation neither to
use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose the Company’s Confidential Information and my obligation not to compete
contained in subsection 7(a) is necessary to protect the Company’s Confidential Information
and to preserve the Company’s value and goodwill. I further acknowledge the time, geographic and scope limitations of my obligations
under subsection 7(a) are reasonable, especially in light of the Company’s desire to protect
its Confidential Information, and that I will not be precluded from gainful employment if I am obligated not to compete with the Company
during the period and within the Territory as described above.
(c) The
covenants contained in subsection 7(a) shall be construed as a series of separate covenants,
one for each city, county and state of any geographic area in the Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant
shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in subsection 7(a). If, in any
judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant
(or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions
thereof) to be enforced. In the event the provisions of subsection 7(a) are deemed to exceed
the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic
or scope limitations, as the case may be, then permitted by such law.
8. Return
or Destruction of Company Confidential Information. I agree that, upon the termination or expiration of my employment with the Company,
for any reason, or at any other time upon the request by the Company, I will promptly deliver to the Company and/or destroy at the Company’s
request, (and will not keep in my possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all copies of Confidential Information and any
other Company property in my possession or under my control, including but not limited to, devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals,
lists, correspondence (including emails), specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or property,
or reproductions of any aforementioned items whether developed by me pursuant to my employment with the Company or by others, or otherwise
belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns, including, but not limited to, those records maintained pursuant to Section 3(d).
In the event of the termination or expiration of my employment, I agree to sign and deliver the “Termination Certification”
attached hereto as Exhibit B.
9. Further
Assurances; No Conflict. During and after my employment, I agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company as necessary or appropriate
to carry out the intent of this Agreement, including but not limited to, executing any proper oath or verifying any proper document required
to carry out the terms of this Agreement. I hereby irrevocably grant the Company power of attorney to execute and deliver any such documents
on my behalf in my name and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Inventions and Intellectual Property Rights to the
Company and to prosecute, maintain, and enforce all Intellectual Property Rights transferred hereunder I represent that my performance
of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in confidence
or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any oral or written agreement
in conflict herewith.
10. Notification
to New Employer. In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby grant consent to notification by the Company to my
new employer about my rights and obligations under this Agreement.

or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may
be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction. [To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall pay
the administrative fees associated with the arbitration, except for the first $300.00 in administrative fees for any arbitration that
is initiated by me, and each of us shall separately pay our counsel fees and expenses.
(b) Equitable
Remedies. I acknowledge that should I breach or threaten to breach the terms of this Agreement irreparable damages may be caused to
the Company, and I agree that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate the Company’s damages from my breach
of this Agreement. Accordingly, I agree that if I breach or threaten to breach any such terms if this Agreement, the Company will have
available, in addition to any other right or remedy available, the right to obtain injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction,
including but not limited to, restraining such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of this Agreement.
I further agree that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief and I hereby consent to the issuance
of such injunctive relief.

Exhibit 14.1
FOXX DEVELOPMENT HOLDINGS INC.
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
I. PURPOSE
This Code of Business Conduct
and Ethics (the “Code”) contains general guidelines for conducting the business of Foxx Development Holdings Inc.,
a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company”), and is intended to qualify
as a “code of ethics” within the meaning of Section 406(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder.
To the extent this Code requires a higher standard than required by commercial practice or applicable laws, rules or regulations, we adhere
to these higher standards.
This Code is designed to deter
wrongdoing and to promote:
|
● |
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
|
● |
full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; |
|
● |
compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; |
|
● |
prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code; and |
|
● |
accountability for adherence to the Code. |
II. APPLICABILITY
This Code applies to all directors,
officers and employees of the Company, whether they work for the Company on a full-time, part-time, consultative or temporary basis (each,
an “employee” and collectively, the “employees”). Certain provisions of the Code apply specifically
to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, senior finance officer and any other persons who perform similar functions for
the Company (each, a “senior officer,” and collectively, the “senior officers”).
The Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”) has appointed the Company’s Chief Financial Officer as the Compliance Officer for the
Company (the “Compliance Officer”). If you have any questions regarding the Code or would like to report any violation
of the Code, please contact the Compliance Officer.
This Code has been adopted
by the Board. The Board and the Compliance Officer, as well as any duly appointed committee charged with enforcing this Code, shall be
entitled to enforce this Code to the full extent permitted by law.
III. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Identifying Conflicts of Interest
A conflict of interest occurs
when an employee’s private interest interferes, or appears to interfere, in any way with the interests of the Company as a whole.
An employee should actively avoid any private interest that may impact such employee’s ability to act in the interests of the Company
or that may make it difficult to perform the employee’s work objectively and effectively. In general, the following should be considered
conflicts of interest:
|
● |
Competing Business. No employee may be employed by a business that competes with the Company or deprives it of any business. |
|
● |
Corporate Opportunity. No employee should use corporate property, information or his/her position with the Company to secure a business opportunity that would otherwise be available to the Company. If an employee discovers a business opportunity that is in the Company’s line of business through the use of the Company’s property, information or position, the employee must first present the business opportunity to the Company and obtain approval from the Company’s Audit Committee before pursuing the opportunity in his/her individual capacity. |
|
i. |
No employee may have any financial interest (ownership or otherwise), either directly or indirectly through a spouse or other family member, in any other business or entity if such interest adversely affects the employee’s performance of duties or responsibilities to the Company, or requires the employee to devote time to it during such employee’s working hours at the Company; provided, however that an officer or director may devote time to such other interest during working hours so long as it does not interfere with his/her ability to carry out his/her duties at the Company; |
|
ii. |
No employee may hold any ownership interest in a privately held company that is in competition with the Company; |
|
iii. |
An employee may hold up to 5% ownership interest in a publicly traded company that is in competition with the Company; provided that if the employee’s ownership interest in such publicly traded company increases to more than 5%, the employee must immediately report such ownership to the Compliance Officer; |
|
iv. |
No employee may hold any ownership interest in a company that has a business relationship with the Company if such employee’s duties at the Company include managing or supervising the Company’s business relations with that company; and |
|
v. |
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Code, |
|
(a) |
a director or any immediate family member of such director (collectively, “Director Affiliates”) or a senior officer or any immediate family member of such senior officer (collectively, “Officer Affiliates”) may continue to hold his/her investment or other financial interest in a business or entity (an “Interested Business”) that: |
|
(1) |
was made or obtained either (x) before the Company invested in or otherwise became interested in such business or entity; or (y) before the director or senior officer joined the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether the Company had or had not already invested in or otherwise become interested in such business or entity at the time the director or senior officer joined the Company); or |
|
(2) |
may in the future be made or obtained by the director or senior officer, provided that at the time such investment or other financial interest is made or obtained, the Company has not yet invested in or otherwise become interested in such business or entity; |
provided that such director or senior
officer shall disclose such investment or other financial interest to the Board;
|
(b) |
an interested director or senior officer shall refrain from participating in any discussion among senior officers of the Company relating to an Interested Business and shall not be involved in any proposed transaction between the Company and an Interested Business; and |
|
(c) |
before any Director Affiliate or Officer Affiliate (i) invests, or otherwise acquires any equity or other financial interest, in a business or entity that is in competition with the Company; or (ii) enters into any transaction with the Company, the related director or senior officer shall obtain prior approval from the Audit Committee of the Board. |
For purposes of this Code, a company
or entity is deemed to be “in competition with the Company” if it competes with the Company’s business of providing
corporate business training services, corporate consulting services, advisory and transaction services, and/or any other business in which
the Company is engaged.
|
● |
Loans or Other Financial Transactions. No employee may obtain loans or guarantees of personal obligations from, or enter into any other personal financial transaction with, any company that is a material customer, supplier or competitor of the Company. This guideline does not prohibit arms-length transactions with recognized banks or other financial institutions. |
|
● |
Service on Boards and Committees. No employee shall serve on a board of directors or trustees or on a committee of any entity (whether profit or not-for-profit) whose interests could reasonably be expected to conflict with those of the Company. Employees must obtain prior approval from the Board or the Company’s Audit Committee, as required by the rules of Nasdaq, before accepting any such board or committee position. The Company may revisit its approval of any such position at any time to determine whether an employee’s service in such position is still appropriate. |
The above is in no way a complete
list of situations where conflicts of interest may arise. The following questions might serve as a useful guide in assessing a potential
conflict of interest situation not specifically addressed above:
|
● |
Is the action to be taken legal? |
|
● |
Is it in the best interests of the Company? |
Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest
The Company requires that
employees fully disclose any situations that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. If an employee suspects
that he/she has a conflict of interest, or a situation that others could reasonably perceive as a conflict of interest, the employee must
report it immediately to the Compliance Officer. Conflicts of interest may only be waived by the Board, the appropriate committee of the
Board and in some cases, as in accordance with Nasdaq rules, only by the Company’s Audit Committee, and will be promptly disclosed
to the public to the extent required by law and applicable rules of Nasdaq.
Family Members and Work
The actions of family members
outside the workplace may also give rise to conflicts of interest because they may influence an employee’s objectivity in making
decisions on behalf of the Company. If a member of an employee’s family is interested in doing business with the Company, the criteria
as to whether to enter into or continue the business relationship and the terms and conditions of the relationship must be no less favorable
to the Company compared with those that would apply to an unrelated party seeking to do business with the Company under similar circumstances.
Employees should report any
situation involving family members that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest to their supervisor or the
Compliance Officer. For purposes of this Code, “family members” or “members of employee’s family” include
an employee’s spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law,
and anyone (other than domestic employees) who shares such employee’s home.
IV. GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
The giving and receiving of
appropriate gifts may be considered common business practice. Appropriate business gifts and entertainment are welcome courtesies designed
to build relationships and understanding among business connections. However, gifts and entertainment should never compromise, or appear
to compromise, an employee’s ability to make objective and fair business decisions.
It is the responsibility of
employees to use good judgment in this area. As a general rule, employees may give or receive gifts or entertainment to or from customers
or suppliers only if the gift or entertainment is in compliance with applicable law, insignificant in amount and not given in consideration
or expectation of any action by the recipient. All gifts and entertainment expenses made on behalf of the Company must be properly accounted
for on expense reports.
We encourage employees to
submit gifts received to the Company. While it is not mandatory to submit small gifts, gifts of over USD 100 must be submitted immediately
to the Compliance Officer.
Bribes and kickbacks are criminal
acts, strictly prohibited by law. An employee must not offer, give, solicit or receive any form of bribe or kickback anywhere in the world.
V. FCPA COMPLIANCE
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act (“FCPA”) prohibits giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of foreign governments or foreign
political candidates in order to obtain or retain business. A violation of FCPA does not only violate the Company’s policy but also
constitute a civil or criminal offense under FCPA which the Company is subject to after the Effective Time. No employee shall give or
authorize directly or indirectly any illegal payments to government officials of any country. While the FCPA does, in certain limited
circumstances, allow nominal “facilitating payments” to be made, any such payment must be discussed with and approved by an
employee’s supervisor in advance before it can be made.
VI. PROTECTION AND USE OF COMPANY ASSETS
Employees should protect the
Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use for legitimate business purposes only. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct
impact on the Company’s profitability. Any use of the funds or assets of the Company, whether for personal gain or not, for any
unlawful or improper purpose is strictly prohibited.
To ensure the protection and
proper use of the Company’s assets, each employee should:
|
● |
Exercise reasonable care to prevent theft, damage or misuse of Company property; |
|
● |
Promptly report any actual or suspected theft, damage or misuse of Company property; |
|
● |
Safeguard all electronic programs, data, communications and written materials from unauthorized access; and |
|
● |
Use Company property only for legitimate business purposes. |
Except as approved in advance
by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, the Company prohibits political contributions (directly or through
trade associations) by any employee on behalf of the Company. Prohibited political contributions include:
|
● |
any contributions of the Company’s funds or other assets for political purposes; |
|
● |
encouraging individual employees to make any such contribution; and |
|
● |
reimbursing an employee for any political contribution. |
VII. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Employees should abide by
the Company’s rules and policies in protecting the intellectual property and confidential information, including the following:
|
● |
All inventions, creative works, computer software, and technical or trade secrets developed by an employee in the course of performing the employee’s duties or primarily through the use of the Company’s assets or resources while working at the Company shall be the property of the Company. |
|
● |
Employees should maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by the Company or entities with which the Company has business relations, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its business associates, if disclosed. |
|
● |
The Company maintains a strict confidentiality policy. During an employee’s term of employment with the Company, the employee shall comply with any and all written or unwritten rules and policies concerning confidentiality and shall fulfill the duties and responsibilities concerning confidentiality applicable to the employee. |
|
● |
In addition to fulfilling the responsibilities associated with his/her position in the Company, an employee shall not, without obtaining prior approval from the Company, disclose, announce or publish trade secrets or other confidential business information of the Company, nor shall an employee use such confidential information outside the course of his/her duties to the Company. |
|
● |
Even outside the work environment, an employee must maintain vigilance and refrain from disclosing important information regarding the Company or its business, business associates or employees. |
|
● |
An employee’s duty of confidentiality with respect to the confidential information of the Company survives the termination of such employee’s employment with the Company for any reason until such time as the Company discloses such information publicly or the information otherwise becomes available in the public sphere through no fault of the employee. |
|
● |
Upon termination of employment, or at such time as the Company requests, an employee must return to the Company all of its property without exception, including all forms of medium containing confidential information, and may not retain duplicate materials. |
VIII. ACCURACY OF FINANCIAL REPORTS AND OTHER
PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
The Company is required to
report its financial results and other material information about its business to the public and the SEC. It is the Company’s policy
to promptly disclose accurate and complete information regarding its business, financial condition and results of operations. Employees
must strictly comply with all applicable standards, laws, regulations and policies for accounting and financial reporting of transactions,
estimates and forecasts. Inaccurate, incomplete or untimely reporting will not be tolerated and can severely damage the Company and result
in legal liability.
Employees should be on guard
for, and promptly report, any possibility of inaccurate or incomplete financial reporting. Particular attention should be paid to:
|
● |
Financial results that seem inconsistent with the performance of the underlying business; |
|
● |
Transactions that do not seem to have an obvious business purpose; and |
|
● |
Requests to circumvent ordinary review and approval procedures. |
The Company’s senior
financial officers and other employees working in the finance department have a special responsibility to ensure that all of the Company’s
financial disclosures are full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. Any practice or situation that might undermine this objective
should be reported to the Compliance Officer.
Employees are prohibited from
directly or indirectly taking any action to coerce, manipulate, mislead or fraudulently influence the Company’s independent auditors
for the purpose of rendering the financial statements of the Company materially misleading. Prohibited actions include but are not limited
to:
|
● |
issuing or reissuing a report on the Company’s financial statements that is not warranted in the circumstances (due to material violations of U.S. GAAP, generally accepted auditing standards or other professional or regulatory standards); |
|
● |
not performing audit, review or other procedures required by generally accepted auditing standards or other professional standards; |
|
● |
not withdrawing an issued report when withdrawal is warranted under the circumstances; or |
|
● |
not communicating matters required to be communicated to the Company’s Audit Committee. |
IX. COMPANY RECORDS
Accurate and reliable records
are crucial to the Company’s business and form the basis of its earnings statements, financial reports and other disclosures to
the public. The Company’s records are a source of essential data that guides business decision-making and strategic planning. Company
records include, but are not limited to, booking information, payroll, timecards, travel and expense reports, e-mails, accounting and
financial data, measurement and performance records, electronic data files and all other records maintained in the ordinary course of
business.
All Company records must be
complete, accurate and reliable in all material respects. There is never an acceptable reason to make false or misleading entries. Undisclosed
or unrecorded funds, payments or receipts are strictly prohibited. An employee is responsible for understanding and complying with the
Company’s recordkeeping policy. An employee should contact the Compliance Officer if he/she has any questions regarding the recordkeeping
policy.
X. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Each employee has an obligation
to comply with the laws of the cities, provinces, regions and countries in which the Company operates. This includes, without limitation,
laws covering commercial bribery and kickbacks, patent, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, information privacy, insider trading,
offering or receiving gratuities, employment harassment, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, false or misleading
financial information, misuse of corporate assets and foreign currency exchange activities. Employees are expected to understand and comply
with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their positions at the Company. If any doubt exists about whether a course of action
is lawful, the employee should seek advice immediately from the Compliance Officer.
XI. DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT
The Company is firmly committed
to providing equal opportunity in all aspects of employment and will not tolerate any illegal discrimination or harassment based on race,
ethnicity, religion, gender, age, national origin or any other protected class. For further information, employees should consult the
Compliance Officer.
XII. FAIR DEALING
Each employee should endeavor
to deal fairly with the Company’s customers, suppliers, competitors and employees. None should take unfair advantage of anyone through
manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair-dealing practice.
XIII. HEALTH AND SAFETY
The Company strives to provide
employees with a safe and healthy work environment. Each employee has responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for
other employees by following environmental, safety and health rules and practices and reporting accidents, injuries and unsafe equipment,
practices or conditions. Violence or threats of violence are not permitted.
Each employee is expected
to perform his/her duty to the Company in a safe manner, not under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs or other controlled substances.
The use of illegal drugs or other controlled substances in the workplace is prohibited.
XIV. VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE
All employees have a duty
to report any known or suspected violation of this Code, including any violation of laws, rules, regulations or policies that apply to
the Company. Reporting a known or suspected violation of this Code by others will not be considered an act of disloyalty, but an action
to safeguard the reputation and integrity of the Company and its employees.
If an employee knows of or
suspects a violation of this Code, it is such employee’s responsibility to immediately report the violation to the Compliance Officer,
who will work with the employee to investigate his/her concern. All questions and reports of known or suspected violations of this Code
will be treated with sensitivity and discretion. The Compliance Officer and the Company will protect the employee’s confidentiality
to the extent possible, consistent with the law and the Company’s need to investigate the employee’s concern.
It is the Company’s
policy that any employee who violates this Code will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, including termination of employment,
based upon the facts and circumstances of each particular situation. An employee’s conduct, if it does not comply with the law or
with this Code, can result in serious consequences for both the employee and the Company.
The Company strictly prohibits
retaliation against an employee who, in good faith, seeks help or reports known or suspected violations. An employee inflicting reprisal
or retaliation against another employee for reporting a known or suspected violation will be subject to disciplinary action, including
termination of employment.
XV. WAIVERS OF THE CODE
Waivers of this Code will
be granted on a case-by-case basis and only in extraordinary circumstances. Waivers of this Code may be made only by the Board, or the
appropriate committee of the Board, and may be promptly disclosed to the public if so required by applicable laws and regulations and
rules of the Nasdaq. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver of this Code for a senior officer or a director may only be granted by
the Board and must be publicly disclosed in accordance with the applicable rules of the Nasdaq.
XVI. CONCLUSION
This Code contains general
guidelines for conducting the business of the Company consistent with the highest standards of business ethics. If employees have any
questions about these guidelines, they should contact the Compliance Officer. We expect all employees to adhere to these standards. Each
employee is separately responsible for his/her actions. Conduct that violates the law or this Code cannot be justified by claiming that
it was ordered by a supervisor or someone in higher management positions. If an employee engages in conduct prohibited by the law or this
Code, such employee will be deemed to have acted outside the scope of his/her employment. Such conduct will subject the employee to disciplinary
action, including termination of employment.

Adjustments”). Management has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting
Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding
of the combined company (“PubCo” or the “Combined Company”) reflecting the Business
Combination.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative
of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Transactions taken place on the dates indicated,
nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Combined Company.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction
with, the following:
| ● | ACAC’s unaudited balance sheet as of March 31,
2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in the ACAC’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 13, 2024; and |
| ● | Foxx’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and the related notes
are incorporated in the Form 8-K filed on October 2, 2024 by reference. |
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 has been prepared using,

| ● | Foxx’s unaudited statements of operations for the nine
months ended March 31, 2024 and the related notes are incorporated in the Form 8-K filed on October 2, 2024 by reference. |
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2023 has been prepared using, and should be
read in conjunction with, the following:
| ● | ACAC’s statement of operations for the twelve months
ended June 30, 2023 derived from the historical information of ACAC; and |
| ● | Foxx’s audited statements of operations for the year
ended June 30, 2023 and the related notes are incorporated in the Form 8-K filed on October 2, 2024 by reference. |
Description of the
Business Combination
On
September 26, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), ACAC consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the terms
of the business combination agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among us,
Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of ACAC (prior to the closing of all the transactions
contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement, the “Purchaser”), Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation
and wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger Sub”, together with us and the Purchaser, the “Purchaser Parties”),
and Foxx, pursuant to which (i) ACAC merged with and into Purchaser (the “Reincorporation Merger”), and (ii) Foxx merged with
and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger”). The Reincorporation
Merger, the Acquisition Merger, and other transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement, are collectively referred
to as the “Business Combination”.
In
accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement:
| ● | Immediately
prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger (the “Reincorporation Merger
Effective Time”), which was on September 25, 2024, one business day prior to the Closing,
(i) each issued and outstanding ACAC unit was automatically separated into one (1) share
of ACAC Class A common stock and one-half (1/2) of one ACAC warrant,
and (ii) each share of ACAC Class A common stock held by ACAC stockholders who validly redeemed
their ACAC Class A common stock (each “ACAC Redeeming Share”) was automatically
cancelled and ceased to exist and thereafter represented only the right to be paid a pro-share redemption
price. |
| ● | At
the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time (on September 25, 2024), (i) each share of ACAC
Class A or Class B common stock issued and outstanding (other than ACAC Redeeming Shares)
was converted automatically into one (1) share of common stock of Purchaser, par value $0.0001
per share (“Purchaser Common Stock”), and (ii) each issued and outstanding
ACAC warrant was converted automatically into one (1) redeemable warrant of Purchaser, exercisable
for one (1) share of Purchaser Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 (“Purchaser
Warrant”). |
| ● | At
the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, i.e. the Closing on September 26, 2024, by
virtue of the Acquisition Merger and the Business Combination Agreement, and without any
action on the part of any party to the Business Combination Agreement or affiliate or security
thereof, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Foxx (“Foxx Common Stock”)
held by exiting holders of Foxx common stock (the “Foxx Stockholders”) immediately
prior to the Closing (including shares of Foxx Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
principal and accrued interest of promissory notes of Foxx issued in the Transaction Financing,
as defined below) were cancelled and automatically converted into (i) the right to receive,
without interest, the applicable portion of 5,000,000 Purchaser Common Stock (the “Closing
Payment Stock”, 500,000 of which are subject to the Escrow Arrangement noted below),
and (ii) the contingent right to receive the applicable portion of the Earnout Shares
(as defined below), if, as and when payable in accordance with the earnout provisions of
the Business Combination Agreement. |
| ● | Additionally,
the Foxx Stockholders may be entitled to receive “Earnout Shares”, which refer
to 4,200,000 shares of Purchaser Common Stock, subject to the vesting schedule as follows: |
|
(i) |
in connection with the financial performance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024: |
|
○ |
(A) 700,000 Earnout Shares will be issued to Foxx Stockholders on a pro rata basis if and only if PubCo’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 (“2024 PubCo Audited Financial Statements”), prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and filed with the SEC on Form 10-K by PubCo after Closing, reflect revenue of PubCo for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 (the “PubCo 2024 Revenue”) no less than $67,000,000 (including $67,000,000) and less than $84,000,000 (excluding $84,000,000); |
|
○ |
(B) 1,400,000 Earnout Shares will be issued to Foxx Stockholders on a pro rata basis if and only if the PubCo 2024 Revenue is no less than $84,000,000 (including $84,000,000) and less than $100,000,000 (excluding $100,000,000); |
|
○ |
(C) 2,100,000
Earnout Shares will be issued to Foxx Stockholders on a pro rata basis if and only if the PubCo 2024 Revenue is no less than
$100,000,000 (including $100,000,000); |
provided, however, that the Earnout
Shares shall be issued and delivered pursuant to one paragraph from (i)(A)-(i)(C) above only once; and

Following consummation of
the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Purchaser changed its corporate name to Foxx Development Holdings, Inc. (“PubCo”).
In addition, the Merger Sub changed it name to “Foxx Development Inc .”
Accounting for the
Business Combination
The
Business Combination accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method
of accounting, ACAC treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based
on the fact that subsequent to the Business Combination, Foxx’s stockholders are expected to have a majority of the voting power
of the Combined Company, Foxx comprised all of the ongoing operations of the Combined Company, Foxx comprised a majority of the governing
body of the Combined Company, and Foxx’s senior management comprised all of the senior management of the Combined Company. Accordingly,
for accounting purposes, the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Foxx issuing shares for the net assets of ACAC, accompanied
by a recapitalization. The net assets of ACAC stated at historical costs. No goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded. Operations
prior to the Business Combination were those of Foxx.
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The
unaudited pro forma combined financial information included in this Exhibit has been prepared using actual redemption of ACAC’s
Class A common stock .
We
are providing this information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial statements described above and the assumption and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments
set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with ACAC’s historical
financial statements, Foxx’s historical financial statements, and the related notes thereto. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary,
and the unaudited pro forma information have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the Business Combination taken place on the dates noted, or of the
Combined Company’s future financial position or operating results. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the Combined Company following the completion
of the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available
as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information
becomes available and analyses are performed.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED
PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note 1 —
Basis of Presentation
On
September 26, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ACAC”)
consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement (as amended from
time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among us, Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation
and wholly-owned subsidiary of ACAC (prior to the closing of all the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement,
the “Purchaser”), Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger
Sub”, together with us and the Purchaser, the “Purchaser Parties”), and Foxx Development Inc., a Texas corporation (“Foxx”),
pursuant to which (i) ACAC merged with and into Purchaser (the “Reincorporation Merger”), and (ii) Foxx merged with and into
Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger”). The Reincorporation
Merger, the Acquisition Merger, and other transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement, are collectively referred
to as the “Business Combination”.
The
Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting,
ACAC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business
Combination was treated as the equivalent of Foxx issuing shares for the net assets of ACAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net
assets of ACAC stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if
it had been consummated on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months
ended March 31, 2024 and for the year ended June 30, 2023 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated
on July 1, 2022, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 has been prepared using ACAC’s unaudited balance
sheet as of March 31, 2024 and Foxx’s unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2024.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 has been prepared using ACAC’s
historical information for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and Foxx’s unaudited statements of operations for the nine
months ended March 31, 2024.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2023 has been prepared using ACAC’s historical
information for the year ended June 30, 2023 and Foxx’s statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have
been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations
or financial position of the post-combination company.
The unaudited pro forma combined
financial information does not give effect to the 4,200,000 ACAC Earnout Shares as the earnout contingency has not been met at period
end. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies,
tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.
Note 2 — Accounting
Policies
Upon
consummation of the Business Combination, management performed a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies.
As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed,
could have a material impact on the financial statements of the Post-Combination Company. Based on its initial analysis, management
did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.
Note 3 —
Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and
has been prepared for informational purposes only.
The
following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as
amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed
Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements
to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable
synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”).
Foxx has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the following
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations
The transaction accounting
adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and
for the year ended June 30, 2023 are as follows:
| (AA) | Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest earned on
investment held in Trust Account, net of income tax effect, as if the Business Combination had been consummated on July 1, 2022,
the beginning of the earliest period presented; |
| (BB) | The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for
basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on July 1, 2022. In addition,
as the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred on this date, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding
for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented; |
| (CC) | Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest expenses,
net of income tax effect, as if the conversion of the $5.0 million convertible promissory notes into 172,098 shares of Foxx’s

Note 4 — Loss
per Share
Represents
the loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the change in number of shares in connection
with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since the beginning of the earliest period presented in the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. As the Business Combination and related transactions are being reflected as if
they had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted
loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented.
Basic
and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing pro forma net loss by the weighted average number of the shares of PubCo Common Stock
outstanding during the periods.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Nature of business and organization
Foxx Development Inc. (“Foxx” or the “Company”)
is a Texas corporation incorporated on March 17, 2017. The Company is primarily engaged in the sales of electronic products.
On August 29, 2023, Foxx Technology Pte Ltd (“Foxx Technology”)
was incorporated in Singapore, where Foxx holds 51% of equity interests. Foxx Technology operates in the field of the manufacture of wireless
communications equipment, and the wholesale of handphones, handphone peripheral equipment and other telecommunications equipment. Since
the Company owns the majority controlling financial interest in Foxx Technology, according to ASC 810-10-15-10, all majority-owned
subsidiaries shall be consolidated. Foxx Technology is required to be consolidated under ASC 810. As of March 31, 2024, no significant
operations nor capital contributions were made to Foxx Technology. As a result, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements
did not reflect any operating activities from Foxx Technology. The Company has 51% voting interest of Foxx Technology.
Note 2 — Going Concern
In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern,
the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity
needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations.
The Company is primarily engaged in the sales of electronic products
and debt financing in the form of convertible notes, loans from bank, third parties, related parties, and cash generated from operations
have been utilized to finance the working capital. The Company’s management has considered whether there is substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern due to (1) net cash used in operating activities of approximately $4.3 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 2024; (2) accumulated deficit of approximately $9.7 million as of March 31, 2024;
(3) the working capital deficit of approximately $3.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and; (4) three convertible promissory
notes with a total of $5.0 million as of March 31, 2024, of which had a maturity date that is the earlier of the 12 month anniversary
of the issuance date in June 2024, November 2024 and March 2025, respectively, and the date when the Company redeems the
note, otherwise, the maturity date means the date of the initial closing of the initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company.
If the Company is unable to generate sufficient funds to finance the
working capital requirements of the Company within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-month period from the date of the unaudited
consolidated financial statements are issued, the Company may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the
following sources:
| ● | Other available sources of financing from the banks in the United States
of America and other financial institutions or private lender; |
| ● | Financial support and credit guarantee commitments from the
Company’s related parties; and |
The Company can make no assurances that required financings will be
available for the amounts needed, or on terms commercially acceptable to the Company, if at all. If one or all of these events does not
occur or subsequent capital raises are insufficient to bridge financial and liquidity shortfall, there would likely be a material adverse
effect on the Company and would materially adversely affect its ability to continue as a going concern.
As such, management has determined that the factors discussed above
have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the
unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
FOXX DEVELOPMENT INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”),
and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial
position and operation results.
The interim unaudited consolidated financial information as of March 31,
2024 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the SEC and pursuant to Regulation S-X Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The interim unaudited
financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto, included elsewhere in
the proxy statement/prospectus for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results
to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
Principles of consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiary All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated
upon consolidation.
A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly,
controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove
the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoiced
amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts on credit losses. Allowance for credit losses for accounts receivables is established
based on various factors including historical payments and current economic trends. The Company reviews its allowance for accounts
receivable by assessing individual accounts receivable over a specific aging and amount. All other balances are pooled based on historical
collection experience. The estimate of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, current economic conditions,
and forecasts of future economic conditions that affect collectability. Accounts receivable are written-off on a case by case basis after
exhaustive efforts at collection are made, net of any amounts that may be collected. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023,
no allowance for credit losses of accounts receivable was recorded and the Company had accounts receivable of $174,950 and $0, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Cost is determined using the “First in, First out” method. Inventories mainly include electronic products and accessories
which are purchased from the Company’s suppliers as merchandized goods and freight-in. On an annual basis, inventories are reviewed
for potential write-downs for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories
and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written down to net realizable value, it is not marked up subsequently
based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company had inventories
of $662,227 and $0, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no inventory write-down was recorded.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies (cont.)
Contract assets
Contract assets consisted of cash deposited or advanced to suppliers
for future inventory purchases. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. For any advances to suppliers determined by management
that such advances will not be in receipts of inventories or refundable, the Company will recognize an allowance account to reserve such
balances. Management reviews its advances to suppliers on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance
when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that
the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation
allowance policy and update it if necessary. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, no allowance for the doubtful accounts
was recorded.
Contract liability
Contract liability mainly consisted of deposits received from customers
before all the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are met and are recorded as customer deposits.
Convertible instrument
The Company accounts for its convertible instrument in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options, whereby the convertible
instrument is initially accounted for as a single unit of account, unless it contains a derivative that must be bifurcated from the host
contract in accordance with ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging — Embedded Derivatives or the substantial
premium model in ASC 470-20 Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options applies. If the equity
securities underlying the embedded conversion option are readily convertible to cash, such as publicly traded common shares, the embedded
conversion option is likely to meet the net settlement criterion to be considered a derivative. If the equity securities underlying the
conversion option are not readily convertible to cash, the embedded conversion option may not meet the net settlement criterion, and therefore
would not meet the definition of a derivative. Because the convertible instrument has a fixed conversion price and therefore, it lacks
an underlying and does not meet the requirement of a derivative. As a result, the Company determined its embedded conversion option does
not meet the definition of a derivative for bifurcation.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods
or services (that is, an asset) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive in exchange
for those goods or services. An asset is transferred when the customer obtains control of that asset. It also requires the Company to
identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based
on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.
To achieve that core principle, the Company applies the five steps
defined under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in
the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the
contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company’s main business is selling electronic products to
its customers. The Company recognizes a contract with a customer when the contract is committed in writing, the rights of parties, including
payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable.
FOXX DEVELOPMENT INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies (cont.)
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct
good or service to the customer and is the unit of accounting in Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to
each performance obligation identified in the arrangement based on the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service
in the contract and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For all the Company’s contracts,
the Company has identified one performance obligation, which is primarily satisfied at a point in time upon delivery of products based
on terms stated in the contracts, either on Free on Board (“FOB”) shipping point or destination, depends on the specified
contract. The Company’s customers generally either paid the order in full balance prior to shipment or in partial payments with
credit terms of 30 to 60 days after shipment depends on the specified contract.
Gross versus Net Revenue Reporting
The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross
or net basis is based on the Company’s assessment of whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction in accordance with
ASC 606-10-55 and depends on whether the promise to the customer is to provide the products or to facilitate a sale by a third party.
The nature of the promise depends on whether the Company controls the products prior to transferring them. When the Company controls the
products, the promise is to provide and deliver the products and revenue is presented gross. When the Company does not control the products,
the promise is to facilitate the sale and revenue is presented net.
To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate
the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in ASC 606-10-55-39.
The Company considers this guidance in conjunction with the terms in its arrangements with both suppliers and customers.
The Company orders the products and pays in advance from its supplier.
When the supplier has completed production, the Company inspects and accepts the products in its suppliers’ warehouse or at the
designated logistic warehouse of the supplier. This enables the Company to direct the use of these products but to also bear inventory
risk as legal owners. The Company has the responsibility of fulfilling the promise to provide the products to its customers, and also
includes an additional 3% of products on top of each customer’s order , which covers any damage incurred in shipping and no refund
and no return will be granted to customers; or provided a one-year warranty period with no additional 3% of products on top of each customer’s
order, depending on the specified contract. In addition, when establishing the selling prices for delivery of the products, the Company
has control to set its selling price. All these factors indicate that the Company is acting as the principal in this transaction. As a
result, revenue from the company is presented on a gross basis.
Warranty
The Company generally provides limited warranties for its product sold
if an additional 3% of products on top of each customer’s order was not provided. All of the Company’s sale transactions prior
to July 2023 were provided with 3% of products on top of each customer’s order. The additional 3% products were recognized
as cost of goods sold at the same time the respective sale is recognized. Beginning in July 2023, the Company stopped providing the
additional 3% of products top of each customer’s order, for which, at the time a sale is recognized, the Company records estimated
future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at the time of delivery, and these warranties
are not service warranties separately sold by the Company. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranties are based on actual warranty
experience or the Company’s best estimate. The Company did not accrue warranty reserves under accrued liabilities and other current
liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not
incur any product returns or exchanges in connection with its sales beginning in July 2023, which evidenced that the Company’s
product defective rate was immaterial to the Company’s operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies (cont.)
Lease
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. The
Company categorizes leases with contractual terms longer than 12 months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally
those leases that substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. All other leases are categorized as operating
leases. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of
the lease. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company does not have finance leases.
The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at
inception. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time,
or term, in exchange for consideration, and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the
aforementioned right.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities
are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which includes the minimum unconditional term
of the lease, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain at the commencement date that such
options will be exercised. As the rate implicit for each of the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses incremental
borrowing rate as effective interest rate, based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present
value of its expected lease payments. Operating lease assets also include any initial direct costs and any lease payments made prior to
the lease commencement date and are reduced by any lease incentives received. According to ASC 842-10-15-37, a lessee may, as an
accounting policy election by class of underlying asset, choose not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead
to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.
The Company has identified common area maintenance (CAM) fee as a non-lease component and elected to not separate from the lease component.
Operating lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis in operating
lease expense over the lease term on the consolidated statements of operations. The related amortization of ROU assets along with the
change in the operating lease liabilities are separately presented within the cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated
statements of cash flows. The Company records lease expenses for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the impairment of its right-of-use assets consistent
with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets on annual basis. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets
when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment
of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax
cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease right-of-use assets in
any tested asset group and include the associated lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows. For the nine months
ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize impairment loss against its right-of-use assets.
For the lease with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted
to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liability. For the lease that
with lease term of one year or shorter, the Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use asset and lease liability.
Deferred offering costs
The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1,
“Other Assets and Deferred Costs — SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal,

policies (cont.)
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”),
which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation,
(2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and
(3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also
requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes.
The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual unaudited
consolidated financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied
on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company continuous to evaluate the potential impact of adopting
this new guidance on the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and does not believe it will have material
impact on the presentation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per
share for the potentially dilutive impact of non-participating shares of common stock that are subject to the convertible note, and other
securities outstanding. Certain securities may be anti-dilutive and would be excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share
and disclosed separately. Because of the nature of the calculation, particular securities may be dilutive in some periods and anti-dilutive

in the amount of $3,000,000, at 7% per annum (collectively, the “Convertible Notes 4”). The maturity date for the Convertible
Notes 4 will be due at the earlier of the 12-month anniversary of the issuance date. The Convertible Notes 4 and their accrued
and unpaid interest will be automatically convertible into common shares (collectively, the “Converted Shares”) of the Company,
par value of $0.001 per share, at a price of $30.00 per share at the time that the Company completes the Business Combination.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Foxx Development Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Foxx Development
Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ deficit
and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to
as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended June 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency,
and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FOXX DEVELOPMENT INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Nature of business and organization
Foxx Development Inc. (“Foxx” or the “Company”)
is a Texas corporation incorporated on March 17, 2017. The Company is primarily engaged in the sales of electronic products.
Note 2 — Going Concern
In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as going concern,
the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity
needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations.
The Company is primarily engaged in the sales of electronic products
and debt financing in the form of convertible notes, loans from bank, third parties and related parties, and cash generated from operations
have been utilized to finance the working capital. The Company’s management has considered whether there is substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern due to (1) net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $30,000 for the
year ended June 30, 2023; (2) accumulated deficit of approximately $7.6 million as of June 30, 2023; (3) the
working capital deficit of approximately $0.6 million as of June 30, 2023; (4) one convertible promissory note of $2.0 million
as of June 30, 2023, of which had a maturity date that is the earlier of the 12 month anniversary of the issuance date in June 2024
and the date when the Company redeems the note, otherwise, the maturity date means the date of the initial closing of the initial public
offering (“IPO”) of the Company and; (5) one convertible promissory note of $2.0 million entered into November 2023
with a termination date effect upon the closing of the IPO of the Company of which had a maturity date that is the earlier of the 12 month
anniversary of the issuance date in November 2024 and the date when the Company redeems the note, otherwise, the maturity date means
the date of the initial closing of the IPO of the Company.
If the Company is unable to generate sufficient funds to finance the
working capital requirements of the Company within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-month period from the date of the financial
statements are issued, the Company may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources:
| ● | Other available sources of financing from the banks in the
United States of America and other financial institutions or private lenders; |
| ● | Financial support and credit guarantee commitments from the
Company’s related parties; and |
The Company can make no assurances that required financing will be
available for the amounts needed, or on terms commercially acceptable to the Company, if at all. If one or all of these events does not
occur or subsequent capital raises are insufficient to bridge financial and liquidity shortfall, there would likely be a material adverse
effect on the Company and would materially adversely affect its ability to continue as a going concern.
As such, management has determined that the factors discussed above
have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the
financial statements are issued. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern
and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
FOXX DEVELOPMENT INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies (cont.)
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods
presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair value measurement
The accounting standard regarding the fair value of financial instruments
and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held
by the Company.
The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level
valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels
are defined as follows:
|
● |
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities
are reported in the balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximates the fair value because of the short period of time between
the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents
on account. Cash is maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution
are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has historically not experienced a loss related to
these deposits.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoiced
amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts on credit losses. Allowance for credit losses for accounts receivables is established
based on various factors including historical payments and current economic trends. The Company reviews its allowance for accounts
receivable by assessing individual accounts receivable over a specific aging and amount. All other balances are pooled based on historical
collection experience. The estimate of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, current economic conditions,
and forecasts of future economic conditions that affect collectability. Accounts receivable are written-off on a case by case basis after
exhaustive efforts at collection are made, net of any amounts that may be collected. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, no allowance for
credit losses of accounts receivable was recorded nor there was any accounts receivable balances.
Contract assets
Contract
assets consisted of cash deposited or advanced to suppliers for future inventory purchases. This amount is refundable and bears no
interest. For any advances to suppliers determined by management that such advances will not be in receipts of inventories or
refundable, the Company will recognize an allowance account to reserve such balances. Management reviews its advances to suppliers on a regular
basis to determine if the allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off
against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s
management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary. As of June 30,
2023 and 2022, no allowance for the doubtful accounts was recorded.
FOXX DEVELOPMENT INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies (cont.)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Cost is determined using the weighted average. Inventories mainly include electronic products and accessories which are purchased from
the Company’s suppliers as merchandized goods. On an annual basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-downs for estimated
obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable
value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written down to net realizable value, it is not
marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, there was no inventory
and during the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no inventory write-down were recorded.
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with no residual
value. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| |
Useful Life |
Computer and office equipment | |
5 years |
Vehicles | |
5 years |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of assets
sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend
the useful life of assets, are capitalized. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent
events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.
Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. These events or changes
in circumstances may include but are not limited to, a significant deterioration of operating results, a change in the regulatory environment,
changes in business plans, or adverse changes in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates
the recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from
the use and eventual disposition of the assets. If the assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the excess of
the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by the discounted cash flow method. The discount
rate used in any estimate of discounted cash flows is the rate commensurate with a similar investment of similar risk. As of June 30,
2023 and 2022, there was no impairment of long-lived assets.
Contract liability
Contract liability mainly consisted of deposits received from customers
before all the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are met and are recorded as customer deposits.
FOXX DEVELOPMENT INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies (cont.)
Convertible instrument
The Company accounts for its convertible instrument in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options, whereby the convertible
instrument is initially accounted for as a single unit of account, unless it contains a derivative that must be bifurcated from the host
contract in accordance with ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging — Embedded Derivatives or the substantial
premium model in ASC 470-20 Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options applies. If the equity
securities underlying the embedded conversion option are readily convertible to cash, such as publicly traded common shares, the embedded
conversion option is likely to meet the net settlement criterion to be considered a derivative. If the equity securities underlying the
conversion option are not readily convertible to cash, the embedded conversion option may not meet the net settlement criterion, and therefore
would not meet the definition of a derivative. Because the Company is currently a private company, the conversion feature is not considered
met the net settlement criterion as its equity securities underlying the conversion option are not readily convertible to cash. In addition,
the convertible instrument has a fixed conversion price and therefore, it lacks an underlying and does not meet the requirement of a derivative.
As a result, the Company determined its embedded conversion option does not meet the definition of a derivative for bifurcation.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods
or services (that is, an asset) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive in exchange
for those goods or services. An asset is transferred when the customer obtains control of that asset. It also requires the Company to
identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based
on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.
To achieve that core principle, the Company applies the five steps
defined under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in
the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the
contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company’s main business is selling electronic products to
its customers. The Company recognizes a contract with a customer when the contract is committed in writing, the rights of parties, including
payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable.
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct
good or service to the customer and is the unit of accounting in Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to
each performance obligation identified in the arrangement based on the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service
in the contract and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For all the Company’s contracts,
the Company has identified one performance obligation, which is primarily satisfied at a point in time upon delivery of products based
on terms stated in the contracts.
Gross versus Net Revenue Reporting
The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross
or net basis is based on the Company’s assessment of whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction in accordance with
ASC 606-10-55 and depends on whether the promise to the customer is to provide the products or to facilitate a sale by a third party.
The nature of the promise depends on whether the Company controls the products prior to transferring them. When the Company controls the
products, the promise is to provide and deliver the products and revenue is presented gross. When the Company does not control the products,
the promise is to facilitate the sale and revenue is presented net.
To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate
the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in ASC 606-10-55-39.
The Company considers this guidance in conjunction with the terms in its arrangements with both suppliers and customers.
FOXX DEVELOPMENT INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies (cont.)
The Company orders the products and pays in advance from its supplier.
When the supplier has completed production, the Company inspects and accepts the products in its suppliers’ warehouse. This enables
the Company to direct the use of these products but to also bear inventory risk as legal owners. The Company has the responsibility of
fulfilling the promise to provide the products to its customers, and also includes an additional 3% of products on top of each customer’s
order, which covers any damage incurred in shipping and no refund and no return will be granted to customers. In addition, when establishing
the selling prices for delivery of the products, the Company has control to set its selling price. All these factors indicate that the
Company is acting as the principal in this transaction. As a result, revenue from the company is presented on a gross basis.
Cost of revenues
The cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of electronic products
sold.
Research and Development
The research and development expenses primarily consisted of development
fees that the Company paid based on the progression of product development. For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the
Company had research and development expenses amounted to $272,080 and $0, respectively.
Lease
The Company categorizes leases with contractual terms longer than 12 months
as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over
its estimated life All other leases are categorized as operating leases. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on
a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.
Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed
lease payment, reduced by landlord incentives using an estimated discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us.
Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct
costs from executing the leases or lease prepayments.
The Company does not recognize its renewal options as part of its right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities until it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such renewal options. The Company has elected to
combine lease and non-lease component; however, the Company currently has no leases requiring analysis of lease components.
For the lease with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted
to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liability. For the lease that
with lease term within one year, the Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use asset and lease liability. The Company did not
have any significant operating lease right-of-use assets as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance
with the FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share,” which requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic
EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic
EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible notes) as if they had been converted
at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e.,
those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. Diluted earnings
per share is the same as basic earnings per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company for the years ended June 30,
2022.

Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies (cont.)
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740,
“Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method as required by this accounting standard, deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial
reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year
as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method
in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements
and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all future taxable
temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against
which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.
Deferred taxes are charged or credited in the income statement, except
when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. Net deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance
when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is
“more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed
to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized on
examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest
incurred related to underpayment of income taxes are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. Income tax returns for the years
prior to 2019 are no longer subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities.
Related parties
The Company identifies related parties, and accounts for, and discloses
related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, and other relevant ASC standards.
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to
be related if they have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the Company or exercise significant influence over the Company
in making financial and operating decisions. Entities are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common
significant influence.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried
out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about
transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to
those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Recently adopted accounting standards
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting
standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging
growth company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the
adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 3 — Basis of presentation and significant accounting
policies (cont.)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Lease (Topic 842),
which enhanced the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessee for those leases classified as operating lease under previous
GAAP. In the lessee accounting section, it clarifies for the lease with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to
make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liability. If a lessee makes this
election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The amendments in
this update were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
Due to the lease term that the Company entered was within one year, the Company elect to not recognize right-of-use asset and lease liability.
The management estimated the impact and does not believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On July 1, 2021, the Company early adopted the ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt
with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s
Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) which, among other things, simplifies the accounting for convertible
instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate conversion features from the host contract. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument
is accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and interest expense will be recognized at the coupon rate.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial
Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings
for creditors in ASC 310 and amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs
by year of origination. The ASU also updates the requirements related to the accounting for credit losses under ASC 326 and adds
enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancing and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2023, which did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently
issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s balance sheets,
statements of income and statements of cash flows.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives
and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies guidance on fair value hedge accounting of interest rate risk for portfolios of financial
assets. The amendments in this update expand the current last-of-layer method of hedge accounting that permits only one hedged layer to
now allow designation of multiple hedged layers with a single closed portfolio. To reflect that expansion, the last-of-layer method is
renamed the portfolio layer method. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The management estimated the impact of the new accounting policy and does not believe ASU 2022-01
will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, $257,185 and $23,737 of NOL was utilized in the federal tax return. The federal tax expense incurred
from the taxable income was $13,502 and $1,246 as the Company only allowed to deduct 80% of taxable income of NOL carried over from prior
periods. During the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, $51,118 and $24,975 of NOL was utilized in the state tax return and
the tax expense was $735 and $359. The Company’s ability to use its federal net operating carryforwards may be limited if the Company
experiences an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 (“Section 382”) of the Internal Revenue

Exhibit 99.3FOXX MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of Foxx’s financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the section entitled “Selected Financial Data”, Foxx’s financial statements, and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Foxx’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this proxy statement.
Overview
Established in Texas in 2017, Foxx Development Inc. is a technology innovation firm specializing in the communications sector. Since its establishment, Foxx has expanded its presence to include various locations throughout the United States, such as San Francisco, CA, Dallas, TX, Atlanta, GA, Los Angeles, CA, Miami, FL, and New York, NY. This expansion enables Foxx to provide sales, retail, distribution, and after-sales support services while simultaneously driving innovation through active research and development efforts aimed at pioneering new customization standards and services.
Foxx’s business model involves providing comprehensive hardware and software specifications to original design manufacturers. Once the products are developed, Foxx engages with third-party agencies to secure necessary testing and certifications, including Equipment Authorizations from the FCC and certifications from the Global Mobile Suppliers Association. Foxx currently offers a range of Foxx-branded products, including tablets, smartphones, and expects to launch wearables and other high-quality communication terminals. Foxx products are generally priced competitively after considering various factors such as product costs, research and development investments, regulatory compliance, testing expenses, and shipping costs. Foxx’s customers are primarily distributors who sell Foxx-branded products in the U.S. public channels and to major carriers in the United States such as T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon.
Foxx has generated most of its revenue from the sales of tablets and smartphones. Foxx expects to enter the U.S. IoT markets and potentially the private label Mobile Virtual Network Operator (“MVNO”) market, with the aim of growing into a key player both domestically and globally. Foxx has been preparing to enter these markets by adding additional features and providing related services that enable Foxx-branded devices to have IoT and MVNO capabilities.
Foxx manages inventory and meet market demand through our build-to-order business model. After customers place purchase orders in bulks with Foxx, we place purchase orders with suppliers to manufacture the products that meet customers’ products specifications and budget requirements. For the years ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, Foxx has relied on limited suppliers for the manufacturing of mobile phone and tablet products and on limited customers for the distribution of these products. We selectively concentrated our resources on our tablet and mobile phone products because such products held the strongest market potential and revenue generation capability at the time when remote work and online classes became more prevalent.
Beginning in 2023, Foxx adjusted its business strategy to avoid reliance on limited suppliers and customers and to diversify suppliers and customers to mitigate the concentration and reliance risk. Foxx has added new product models across each product line to target a broader range of customers. As of the date hereof, Foxx has reached out to a total of six customers to expand its operations in the market and expects to secure purchase orders from these new customers. At the same time, to meet the various product demands of current and prospective customers, Foxx has connected with suppliers who can provide manufacturing support when Foxx secures purchase orders from its customers. In addition, Foxx plans to further expand its product offerings and to launch an IoT platform to manage all end-products sold, and began setting up a service team for its business to business (B2B) model in the artificial IoT department. Through the efforts of expanding product offerings and reaching to broader customer base, Foxx will be able to move away from relying on limited customers and suppliers. As Foxx dedicated its resources to expansion, it experienced a significant decrease in the sales of tablet and mobile phone products during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023: (i) new customers began orders in much smaller quantities as compared to its
previous customer in order to build up a trustworthy relationship; (ii) similarly and relevantly, Foxx placed order with new suppliers in much smaller quantities to build up relationship and ensure the quality of the products; and (iii) new product models on both tablet and mobile phones order by new customers required approximately 6-9 months from development to mass production. In addition, on February 8, 2024, the U.S. Federal Communication Commission stopped accepting new enrollment in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and announced that the ACP will stop accepting new applications and enrollments on February 7, 2024, and will stop funding for enrolled customers starting on April 30, 2024. Temporarily impacted by such a change in ACP, most of Foxx’s new customers are cutting down their sales teams in anticipation of the reduced customer base, which affects the demand for Foxx’s products across all channels during the nine months ended March 31, 2024; and on the other hand, Foxx’s competitors have stockpiled their products during nine months ended March 31, 2024, due to severely declining sales and they have started lower their sale price on their products which affected the demand of Foxx’s products. However, Foxx may continue to target end-users who are eligible for the Lifeline Program, which is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) and receives funding from the Universal Service Fund, a government program that receives annual contributions from telecommunications companies or their customers. At the same time, because Foxx has initiated its strategic shifts to diversify its product offerings, Foxx expects to target customers who are interested in other mobile devices, tablets, and IoT products.
Key Factors that Affect Operating Results
We believe the key factors affecting Foxx’s financial condition and results of operations include the following:
Retention of Key Management Team Members
One of the key differentiating factors of Foxx is the rich blended nature of their management team. Foxx’s management team comprises executives with extensive experience in electronics industry with IoT services related experiences. The wide array of industry experience captured by their management team allows Foxx to deliver advanced technology and superior products its customers. Losing any member of their key executive team could significantly impact the quality of services that clients currently receive. Such departures may prompt customers to explore alternative products or IoT cloud platforms offered by different vendors or service providers.
Investment in technology and talent
Foxx invests significant resources in outsourcing partnerships and dedicates efforts to research and develop new products, solutions, agent platforms, and related services. This commitment is essential to uphold Foxx’s competitiveness in the industry, especially in the realm of IoT services. Advancing technology and enhancing capabilities are pivotal for enterprise growth, necessitating continual progress in electronic product technologies, novel services, and expanded capabilities.
To maintain and expand our customer base, Foxx must sustain a culture of innovation that aligns with the industry’s evolution. This entails continuously introducing cutting-edge technologies to the market. Our current focus in research and development revolves around bolstering comprehensive communication, storage, and energy solutions, as well as advancing 5G technology. This includes areas such as baseband development, Radio Frequency (RF) layout optimization, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) integration, and rigorous system testing.
Our ability to expand our products and services and diversifying customer base
Currently, Foxx’s main revenue stream originates from the sale of tablets and mobile phones. As brand recognition and acceptance grow, Foxx anticipates a surge in user adoption of their wireless services and intelligence products. The company’s capacity to broaden its products portfolio, offer new services and attract a more diversified customer base could significantly influence its future operating results.

Revenue from sales of phones decreased by approximately $1.3 million, or 64.6%, to approximately $0.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $2.0 million for the same period in 2023. Revenue from others consisted with sales of rugged cases and freight and shipping insurance income. The sales of others decreased by approximately $29,000, or 100.0%, to $0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $29,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in sales of other products was not significant to Foxx’s operations.
Cost of Goods Sold
Foxx’s cost of goods sold mainly consists of cost of merchandise and freight. Total cost of goods sold decreased by approximately $19.2 million, or 93.7%, to approximately $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to approximately $20.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cost of goods sold is a direct result of a decrease in revenue, consistent with Foxx’s change of business strategy as discussed above nine months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Furthermore, Foxx successfully identified two new vendors offering lower unit prices for manufacturing our products, contributing to the decrease in the cost of goods sold.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, overall gross profit percentage was 4.4% and 5.1%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit percentage of 0.7% was primarily due to Foxx generating a negative profit from the sale of mobile phone products, which happened during the three months ended March 31, 2024 when Foxx’s vendor had a delay in delivery the mobile phone products. Foxx was willing to sell the goods to customer at a discounted price to minimize the risk of its customer cancelling existing orders, and to retain the customer relationship since the Company just started to make sales to its new customers.
Gross profit percentage of tablets improved from 5.0% to 26.6% from the nine months ended March 31, 2023 to the same period in 2024. This was primarily due to Foxx’s change of business strategy as discussed above, which lead to the increase in the unit selling price of electronic products, and the decrease in the unit purchase price of the purchasing goods.

Gross profit percentage of mobile phones decreased from 5.6% to (16.7)% from the nine months ended March 31, 2023 to the same period in 2024. This was primarily due to Foxx was willing to sell the products at a discounted price to its customer when there was a delay in delivery from its vendor to minimize the risk of its customer cancelling existing orders.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased by approximately $1.1 million, or 142.0%, to approximately $1.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $0.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

The increase in operating expense was mainly attributed to the following:
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased, approximately $1.3 million, or 238.1%, to approximately $1.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $0.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The increased selling expenses was mainly attributable to approximately $150,000 increase in consulting fees, approximately $52,000 increase in advertising and marketing expense, and approximately $60,000 increase in sampling, testing and certification expenses, which all directly related with change in business strategy where Foxx begun to boost the brand awareness, adding new product models, and to attract more business opportunities in the electronic devices market during the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The increased general and administrative expense were mainly attributable to the approximately $0.5 million increase in non-capitalized initial public offering related expense on audit and accounting fees, approximately $0.4 million increase in salary and wages due to Foxx had eight new hires during the nine months ended March 31, 2024, approximately $0.2 million increase in other general and administrative miscellaneous expenses, such as rent expense and office expense due to increased expense in operation of business. Foxx anticipates a continued rise in its SG&A as it persists in executing its business expansion plan and integrating IoT-enabled devices alongside its cloud platform to streamline operations in 2024.
Research and Development — related party
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased by approximately $0.2 million where the decrease was primarily due to the progression of the R&D project slowed down in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2023. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the related party had completed the development of 4G project and Foxx incurred a R&D expense of approximately $242,000. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the related party completed 20% of the remaining 5G development project from the R&D agreement and Foxx recognized a R&D expense approximately of $45,000 accordingly based the progression of the R&D project. Foxx expects its R&D expenses will continue to go up as Foxx will need to development its IoT and MVNO capabilities products and to finish its development of its 5G products in 2024.

The decrease was primarily attributable to recognition $0.1 million gain on forgiveness of PPP loan during the year ended June 30, 2022 and Foxx did not has such gain during the same period in 2023. Interest expense increased by approximately $9,000 resulted from the addition of automobile loan and the convertible promissory note.
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes was approximately $14,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately $1,600 for the year ended June 30, 2022. The increase of approximately $13,000, or 787.0%, was primarily due to the increased of taxable income during the year ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.
Net Income
Net income decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 59.8%, to approximately $59,000 for the year ended June 30, 2023, from approximately $145,000 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Such change was mainly due to the reasons as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In assessing liquidity, Foxx monitors and analyses cash on-hand and operating and capital expenditure commitments. Foxx’s liquidity needs are to meet working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations. Debt financing in the form of convertible promissory note and cash generated from operations have been utilized to finance working capital requirements.
As of March 31, 2024, Foxx had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.3 million, accumulated deficit and working capital deficit were approximately $9.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024, Foxx had net loss of approximately $2.1 million and net operating cash outflow of approximately $4.3 million.
If Foxx is unable to generate sufficient funds to finance the working capital requirements within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-month period from the date of the financial statements are issued, Foxx may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources:
• Other available sources of financing from the banks and other financial institutions or private lender;
9
• Financial support and credit guarantee commitments from Foxx’s related parties; and
• Equity financing.
As such, Foxx’s management has determined that the factors discussed above have raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that Foxx will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The following summarizes the key components of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2024, Foxx has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on Foxx’s financial condition, changes in Foxx’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to Foxx’s members.
Critical Accounting Estimate
The financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes requires Foxx to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Foxx has identified certain accounting
11
estimates that are critical to the preparation of financial statements. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. Foxx believes that the critical accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments that have the most significant impact on Foxx’s consolidated financial statements are described below.
Income Taxes
Foxx records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the net tax effects of tax credits, operating loss carryforwards, and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes compared to the amounts used for income tax purposes. Foxx regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability with consideration for such factors as historical losses, projected future taxable income, and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management believes the deferred tax assets, based largely on the history of tax losses, warrant a full valuation allowance based on the weight of available negative evidence. As of March 31, 2024, June 30, 2023 and 2022, Foxx had recognized $6,546, $5,075 and $433 deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance $1,679,012, $1,172,171 and $1,178,221, respectively.

ACRI CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024
Note 1 — Organization and Business
Operation
Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation
(the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 7, 2022. The
Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization,
reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company has entered
into agreement with Merger target. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
On November 13, 2023,
the Company incorporated Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc, (“Purchaser” or “Pubco”), and Acri Capital Merger
Sub II Inc, (“Merger Sub”), each a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of March 31,
2024, there has been no activity in Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II.
As of March 31, 2024 and
December 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the
Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to the initial public offering (the
“IPO”). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the
earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The registration statement
for the Company’s IPO became effective on June 9, 2022. On June 14, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 8,625,000 units
(the “Units”) (including 1,125,000 Units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option). Each
Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Public Shares”), and one-half of
one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A
common stock (the “Class A common stock”) at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering
price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000 on June 14, 2022.
Substantially concurrently
with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the sale of 5,240,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Warrants”,
together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) to the Company’s sponsor, Acri Capital Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”)
at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $5,240,000. The Private Warrants are identical
to the Public Warrants except that the Private Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private
Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination
except to permitted transferees.
Transaction costs amounted
to $4,838,883, consisting of $4,312,500 of underwriting fees and $526,383 of other offering costs. Following the closing of IPO, cash
of $1,283,357 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.
The Company’s initial
Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of
the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable
on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company
will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting
securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for the post-transaction company not
to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

MARCH 31, 2024
Note 1 — Organization and Business
Operation (cont.)
Following the closing of
the IPO, $87,975,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Warrants, was held into a
U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Wilmington Trust, National Association, acting as trustee. The
funds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills, bonds or notes with a maturity of
185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the
Investment Company Act which invest solely in direct U.S. government treasury, so that the Company are not deemed to be an
investment company under the Investment Company Act. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account
that may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligation, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private
Warrants that are deposited and held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of
(a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any shares of Class A common stock
included in the Units sold in the IPO properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend then current amended
and restated Company’s certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to allow
redemption in connection with its initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if it does not
complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other
provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (c) the redemption of
100% of the Company’s Public Shares if it is unable to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period,
subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s
creditors which could have higher priority than the claims of the Company’s public stockholders. If the Company anticipate
that it may not be able to consummate its initial Business Combination by March 14, 2023 (within nine (9) months from the
consummation of the IPO), it may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to nine (9) times by an
additional one month each time for a total of up to 9 months, affording the Company up to December 14, 2023 (up to
eighteen (18) months from the consummation of the IPO) to complete its initial Business Combination. Public stockholders will
not be offered the opportunity to vote on or redeem their shares if the Company chooses to make any such paid extension. Pursuant to
the terms of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the trust agreement entered into between the
Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association acting as trustee, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon
five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account for each month extension
$287,212 ($0.0333 per share), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. Any such payments would be made in the form of a
loan. If the Company complete its initial Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of
the Trust Account. In addition, such extension funding loans may be convertible into Private Warrants upon the closing of the
Company’s initial Business Combination at $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.
On February 8, 2023, the
Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company
approved the proposal to amend Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Charter”) to amend
the amount of monthly deposit (each, a “Monthly Extension Payment”) required to be deposited in the trust account (the “Trust
Account”) from $0.0333 for each public share to $0.0625 for each public share for up to nine (9) times if the Company has not
consummated its initial Business Combination by March 14, 2023 (the nine (9) month anniversary of the closing of its initial
public offering) (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). Upon the stockholders’ approval, on February 9, 2023, the
Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Charter which became effective upon filing.
In connection with the votes
to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, 4,981,306 shares of Class A common stock of the Company were redeemed at $10.33
per share in March 2023.
Following the Special Meeting,
the Sponsor deposited four monthly payments into the Trust Account to extend the Business Combination deadline to July 14, 2023 of
$227,730.87 for a total of $910,923.48. In connection with each of the Monthly Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note of $227,730.87 (the “Note”) to its Sponsor. The Note is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to
the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) the
date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of
the Note has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private placement warrants
(the “Warrants”) of the Company, as described in the prospectus of the Company (File Number 333-263477) (the “Prospectus”),
by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior to the closing
of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The number of Warrants to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion
shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $1.00.

Note 1 — Organization and Business
Operation (cont.)
On July 11 2023, the
Company held another special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting II”), at which the stockholders of the Company
approved, among others, the proposal to amend the Charter to allow the Company until July 14, 2023 to consummate an initial Business
Combination, and, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend Business Combination deadline on a monthly basis for up to nine
(9) times, up to April 14, 2024, by depositing $75,000 into the Trust Account. Upon the stockholders’ approval, on July 12,
2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Charter which became effective upon filing (the Charter upon the amendment,
the “Second Amended Charter”). In connection with the Special Meeting II, 388,644 shares of Class A common
stock of the Company were redeemed and cancelled.
In connection with the Special
Meeting II, the stockholders also approved the proposal to amend the Charter to remove the restriction of Company to undertake an
initial Business Combination with any entity with its principal business operations or is headquartered in China (including Hong Kong
and Macau).
Pursuant to the Second Amended
Charter, the Company may extend the Business Combination deadline on monthly basis from July 14, 2023 to up to nine times by depositing
$75,000 each month into the Trust Account. As of March 31, 2024, the Sponsor deposited nine monthly payments into the Trust Account
to extend the Business Combination deadline to April 14, 2024 of $75,000 for a total of $675,000.
On February 18, 2024,
the Company entered into a business combination agreement (as amended from time to time, the “BCA”), by and among the Company,
Purchaser, Merger Sub and Foxx Development Inc., a Texas corporation (“Foxx”), where, pursuant to the agreement: (a) the
Company will merge with and into PubCo, with PubCo as the surviving entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”); (b) Foxx will
merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger”).
Total outstanding notes related
to extension amounted to $1,585,923 as of March 31, 2024.
The shares of Class A
common stock subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the
IPO, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will consummate a Business Combination
and, solely if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the
Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company may elect to extend Business Combination deadline on a monthly basis for up to nine (9) times, up to April 14, 2024,
by depositing $75,000 into the Trust Account each time (the “Combination Period”).
If the Company is unable to
complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the
purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the
Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including
interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes (less
up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will
completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions,
if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval
of the Company’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s
obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no redemption
rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to
complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Sponsor, directors and officers of the Company (the “founders”)
have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with
respect to any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the
initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection
with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to
modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination
or to redeem 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination
Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination
activity and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares
held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled
to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the
initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. If the Company submits it initial Business Combination to its stockholders
for a vote, the Company will complete its initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted
are voted in favor of the initial Business Combination. In no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would
cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of Public Shares
and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

Note 1 — Organization and Business
Operation (cont.)
The Sponsor has agreed that
it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company,
or by a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds
in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.20 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account
as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest
which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of
any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters
of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act (as defined in Note 2). Moreover, in the event
that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Company’s Sponsor will not be responsible
to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.
However, the Company has not
asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has
sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company.
Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the officers or directors will
indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2024,
the Company had cash of $89,955 and a working capital deficit of $2,515,342 (excluding income taxes payable which are to be paid from
Trust). The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company
and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s
assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The management’s plan in addressing this
uncertainty is through the working capital loans (see Note 6).
In addition, under the Company’s
Second Amended Charter provides that the Company will need to complete initial Business Combination by July 14, 2023, which may
be extended up to nine (9) times by an additional one month each time until April 14, 2024. On April 9, 2024, the
Company held a special meeting of stockholders, at which the stockholders of the Company approved, among others, the proposal to amend
the Amended and Restated Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated June 9, 2022, as amended on July 12, 2023, by
and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, acting as trustee, to extend the liquidation date from July 14,
2023 to April 14, 2024, or, if further extended by up to nine (9) one-month extensions, up to January 14, 2025. As
of the date of the report, the Company has extended to June 14, 2024 by depositing two extension payments. If the Company is unable
to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company may seek approval from its stockholders holding no less
than 65% or more of the votes to approve to extend the completion period, If the Company fails to obtain approval from the stockholders
for such extension or the Company does not seek such extension, the Company will cease all operations.

Note 1 — Organization and Business
Operation (cont.)
There is no assurance that
the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period and that the Company will
obtain enough votes to extend the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statement does not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting
Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and include all normal and recurring adjustments
that management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operation results. Interim results
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies
including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the
requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of
the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until
private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class
of securities registered under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required
to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended
transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out
is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or
revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt
the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s
financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has
opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards
used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash
The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $89,955 and $54,289 cash
in bank as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Investments held in Trust Account
At March 31, 2024
and December 31, 2023, we had $37,373,688 and $36,672,846 of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds,
which are invested in short term U.S. Treasury securities.
All of the Company’s
investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the consolidated balance
sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held
in Trust Account are accounted as interest income in the statement of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820 “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures
about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with
the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value
hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are
further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset
or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions
about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available
in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is
categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
| ● | Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts
are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation
of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
| ● | Level 2 — Valuations based on (i) quoted
prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or
similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally
from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means. |
| ● | Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable
and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The fair value of the Company’s
assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Warrants
The Company accounts for
Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific
terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”)
and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding
financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the Warrants
meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s
own shares of Class A common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in
a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires
the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while
the Warrants are outstanding.
ACRI CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024
Note 2 — Significant Accounting
Policies (cont.)
For issued or modified Warrants
that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time
of issuance. For issued or modified Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to
be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the
estimated fair value of the Warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its
common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at
fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are
either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s
control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity.
The Company’s Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and
subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2024, common stock subject to possible
redemption are presented at redemption value of $11.30 per share as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section
of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying
value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in
the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit
if additional paid in capital equals to zero.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the
requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs — SEC Materials”
(“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Offering
costs were $4,838,883 consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses that are directly related to the IPO
and charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company complies with accounting
and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both
the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the
redeemable common stock and non-redeemable common stock and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss
less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable common stock. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the
common stock subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. As of March 31, 2024
and December 31, 2023, the Company has not considered the effect of the Warrants sold in the IPO and private placement in the calculation
of diluted net income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the Warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the
inclusion of such Warrants would be anti-dilutive and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts
that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted
income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that
potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution. The Company has
not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account. As of
March 31, 2024, approximately $37.2 million was over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limit.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income
taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected
future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance
to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure
and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued
interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefit and no amounts
accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues
under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company has identified
the United States as its only major tax jurisdiction.
The Company may be subject
to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include
questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state
tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over
the next twelve months.
Excise Tax
On August 16, 2022, President
Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376) (the “IRA”), which, among other things, imposes
a 1% excise tax on any domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The
Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions.
The excise tax is imposed on
the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally
1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax,
repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock
repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury
(the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or
avoidance of the excise tax. Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business
Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to
the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the
fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the
structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection
with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year
of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise
tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not
been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s
ability to complete a Business Combination.
As a result of the 5,369,950 shares
of Class A common stock redeemed in February, 2023 and July, 2023, the Company accrued the 1% excise tax in the amount of $556,620
as a reduction of equity as the Company is uncertain about the structure of its initial Business Combination and whether additional shares
will be issued within the same taxable year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”
(“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific
categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated
between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also
requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes.
The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial
statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective
basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company evaluated the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its unaudited
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and believe that the adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 4 — Initial Public
Offering
Pursuant to the IPO, the Company
sold 8,625,000 Units including 1,125,000 Units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option. Each
Unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and one-half of one
redeemable Public Warrants. The Company will not issue fractional shares. As a result, the Public Warrants must be exercised in multiples
of two. Each whole redeemable Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share Class A Common Stock at a price of
$11.50 per full share. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s
initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO, and will expire five years after the completion of the
Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
All of the 8,625,000 Public
Shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares if
there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the
Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which
has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject
to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

common stock is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99.
If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption
value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable,
if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur
and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected
to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings,
or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

stockholders an opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment, (C) not to redeem any shares, including
Founder Shares and Public Shares into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve
the Company’s proposed initial Business Combination or sell any shares to us in any tender offer in connection with the Company’s
proposed initial Business Combination, and (D) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon
winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated.
The founder has agreed not
to transfer, assign or sell its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of the Company’s
initial Business Combination, or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar
transaction that results in all of the public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities
or other property, and (C) the date on which the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals
or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days
within any 30-trading day period commencing after the initial Business Combination, any permitted transferees will be subject to
the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company’s founders with respect to any Founder Shares.

Promissory Note — Related Party
On January 20, 2022, the
Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan is non-interest bearing,
unsecured and is due at the earlier of (1) January 20, 2023 or (2) the date on which the Company consummates its IPO of
its securities. The Company has an outstanding loan balance of $316,827 on June 14, 2022 after the IPO and the outstanding balance
was repaid on June 21, 2022.
In connection with the Monthly
Extension Payment discussed in Note 1, the Company issued four unsecured promissory notes of $227,730.87 and nine unsecured promissory
notes of $75,000 to its Sponsor. The notes are non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions)
on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation
of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the Note has the right,
but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into Warrants, as described in the Prospectus, by providing
the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company’s
initial Business Combination. The number of Warrants to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount
determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $1.00. Total extension
notes amounted to $1,585,923 and $1,360,924 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
On December 5, 2023, the
Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 to be used as working capital of the Company. This loan is non-interest bearing,
unsecured and is due at the earlier of (1) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination or merger with a qualified
target company or (2) the date of liquidation of the Company and have the same conversion features as the extension notes mentioned
above. The Company has an outstanding loan balance of $491,645 and $70,823 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance
transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain
of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company
completes the initial Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does
not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds
from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be converted upon consummation of the Company’s
Business Combination into Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the loans
would be repaid out of funds not held in the Trust Account, and only to the extent available. Such Private Warrant converted from loan
would be identical to the Private Warrants sold in the private placement.
As of March 31, 2024 and
December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings under the working capital loans.

holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s
stockholders, except as required by law.
The Class B common stock
will automatically convert into shares of the Class A common stock at the time of the Business Combination, or at any time prior
thereto at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution right.
Warrants — On
June 14, 2022, the Company issued 4,312,500 Public Warrants in connection with the IPO. Substantially concurrently with the
closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 5,240,000 Private Warrants to the Company’s Sponsor.
Each whole Warrant entitles
the registered holder to purchase one whole share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject
to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or the date of the
completion of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the warrant agreement (the “warrant agreement”) signed on June 9,
2022 between the Company and VStock Transfer, LLC, the warrant agent of the Company, a warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for
a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. This means that only a whole Warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant
holder. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. The Warrants will
expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption

current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement.
No Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the Class A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. Notwithstanding
the above, if the Company’s Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities
exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities
Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Warrants who exercise their Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event it so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain
in effect a registration statement, but it will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the shares under
applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
In addition, if (x) the
Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection
with the closing of the Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price (the “Newly Issued Price”) of less
than $9.20 per share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors
and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s founders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founders’
shares held by the Company’s founders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds
from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Business
Combination on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average
reported trading price of Class A Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days starting on the trading day prior to the
date of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Fair Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price
of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Fair Market Value and the Newly Issued
Price, and the $16.50 per share redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of

The Company may call the Warrants
for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant:
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
| ● | upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice
of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each Warrant holder; and |
| ● | if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A

the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the
notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
The Company accounted for the 4,312,500 Public
Warrants issued with the IPO as equity instruments in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”
and ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The Company accounted for the Public
Warrants as an expense of the IPO resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimates that the fair value
of the warrants is approximately $1.4 million, or $0.157 per Unit, using the Monte Carlo Model. The fair value of
the Public Warrants is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 0.1%, (2) risk-free interest
rate of 3.08%, (3) expected life of 6.18 years, (4) exercise price of $11.50 and (5) stock price of
$9.84.
As of March 31, 2024 and
December 31, 2023, 9,552,500 Warrants were outstanding.
Note 9 — Income Taxes
As of March 31, 2024 and
December 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The effective tax rate
for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 48.5% and 28.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs
from the federal and state statutory tax rate of 21.0 % primarily due to the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
Note 10 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent
events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statement is issued. The Company did
not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statement other than events below.
On April 9, 2024, the
Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting III”). At the Special Meeting III, the stockholders
of the Company approved, among others, the proposal to amend Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to allow
the Company until April 14, 2024 to consummate an initial business combination, and, without another stockholder vote, to elect to
extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine (9) times, up to January 14,
2025, by depositing the lesser of (i) $50,000 and (ii) $0.033 for each public share to the Trust Account. Upon the stockholders’
approval, on April 10, 2024, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Charter which became effective upon filing (the
Charter upon the amendment, the “Third Amended Charter”). In connection with the votes to approve the New Extension Amendment
Proposal, 1,439,666 shares of Class A common stock of the Company were rendered for redemption.
Following the Special Meeting III,
and as of date of this report, pursuant to the Third Amended Charter, the Sponsor deposited two monthly extension payment of $50,000 (each,
a “New Monthly Extension Payment”) into the Trust Account to extend the Combination Deadline to June 14, 2024. The
two New Monthly Extension Payment were evidenced by two promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor, each in the principal
amount of $50,000.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying
balance sheets of Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the year ended December 31, 2023 and
the period from January 7, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022 in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the year ended December 31, 2023 and period from January 7, 2022 (inception) through December 31,
2022 in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
Explanatory Paragraph — Going
Concern
The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the
Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its
obligations and sustain its operations. In addition, if the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by April 14,
2024, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in
accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

ACRI CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023
Note 1 — Organization and Business
Operation
Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation
(the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 7, 2022. The
Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization,
reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is actively
searching and identifying suitable Business Combination target. The company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region
for purposes of consummating an initial Business Combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
On November 13, 2023,
the Company incorporated Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc, (“Merger Sub I”), and Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc,
(“Merger Sub II”), each a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of December 31, 2023,
there has been no activity in Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II.
As of December 31, 2023
and December 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and the period from
January 7, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities
as well as activities related to the initial public offering (the “IPO”). The Company will not generate any operating revenues
until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of
interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The registration statement
for the Company’s IPO became effective on June 9, 2022. On June 14, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 8,625,000 units
(the “Units”) (including 1,125,000 Units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option). Each
Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Public Shares”), and one-half of
one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A
common stock (the “Class A common stock”) at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering
price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000 on June 14, 2022.
Substantially concurrently
with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the sale of 5,240,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Warrants”,
together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) to the Company’s sponsor, Acri Capital Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”)
at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $5,240,000. The Private Warrants are identical
to the Public Warrants except that the Private Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private
Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination
except to permitted transferees.
Transaction costs amounted
to $4,838,883, consisting of $4,312,500 of underwriting fees and $526,383 of other offering costs. Following the closing of IPO, cash
of $1,283,357 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.
The Company’s initial
Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of
the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable
on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company
will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting
securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for the post-transaction company not
to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023
Note 1 — Organization and Business
Operation (cont.)
Following the closing of the
IPO, $87,975,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Warrants, was held into a U.S.-based trust
account (the “Trust Account”) with Wilmington Trust, National Association, acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust
Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills, bonds or notes with a maturity of 185 days
or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act
which invest solely in direct U.S. government treasury, so that the Company are not deemed to be an investment company under the
Investment Company Act. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company
to pay the Company’s tax obligation, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Warrants that are deposited and held
in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (a) the completion of the initial
Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold in the IPO properly
submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend then current amended and restated Company’s certificate of incorporation
(i) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial Business Combination or
to redeem 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if it does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period
(as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business
Combination activity and (c) the redemption of 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if it is unable to complete the Business
Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject
to the claims of the Company’s creditors which could have higher priority than the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.
If the Company anticipate that it may not be able to consummate its initial Business Combination by March 14, 2023 (within nine (9) months
from the consummation of the IPO), it may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to nine (9) times by
an additional one month each time for a total of up to 9 months, affording the Company up to December 14, 2023 (up to eighteen
(18) months from the consummation of the IPO) to complete its initial Business Combination. Public stockholders will not be offered
the opportunity to vote on or redeem their shares if the Company chooses to make any such paid extension. Pursuant to the terms of the
Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the trust agreement entered into between the Company and Wilmington
Trust, National Association acting as trustee, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to
the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account for each month extension $287,212 ($0.0333 per share), on or prior to the
date of the applicable deadline. Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan. If the Company complete its initial Business Combination,
the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account. In addition, such extension funding loans may be
convertible into Private Warrants upon the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination at $1.00 per warrant at the option
of the lender.
On February 8, 2023, the
Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company
approved the proposal to amend Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Charter”) to amend
the amount of monthly deposit (each, a “Monthly Extension Payment”) required to be deposited in the trust account (the “Trust
Account”) from $0.0333 for each public share to $0.0625 for each public share for up to nine (9) times if the Company has not
consummated its initial business combination by March 14, 2023 (the nine (9) month anniversary of the closing of its initial
public offering) (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). Upon the stockholders’ approval, on February 9, 2023, the
Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Charter which became effective upon filing.
In connection with the votes
to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, 4,981,306 shares of Class A common stock of the Company were redeemed at $10.33
per share in March 2023.
Following the Special Meeting,
the Sponsor deposited four monthly payments to the Trust Account to extend the Business Combination deadline to July 14, 2023 of
$227,730.87 for a total of $910,923.48. In connection with each of the Monthly Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note of $227,730.87 (the “Note”) to its Sponsor. The Note is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to
the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the
date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of
the Note has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private placement warrants
(the “Warrants”) of the Company, as described in the prospectus of the Company (File Number 333-263477), by providing
the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company’s
initial business combination. The number of Warrants to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount
determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $1.00.
ACRI CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023
Note 1 — Organization and Business
Operation (cont.)
On July 11, 2023, the
Company held another special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting II”), at which the stockholders of the Company
approved, among others, the proposal to amend the Charter to allow the Company until July 14, 2023 to consummate an initial business
combination, and, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend Business Combination deadline on a monthly basis for up to nine
(9) times, up to April 14, 2024, by depositing $75,000 to the Trust Account. Upon the stockholders’ approval, on July 12,
2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Charter which became effective upon filing (the Charter upon the amendment,
the “Second Amended Charter”). In connection with the Special Meeting II, 388,644 shares of Class A common
stock of the Company were redeemed and cancelled.
In connection with the Special
Meeting II, the stockholders also approved the proposal to amend the Charter to remove the restriction of Company to undertake an
initial business combination with any entity with its principal business operations or is headquartered in China (including Hong Kong
and Macau).
Pursuant to the Second Amended
Charter, the Company may extend the Business Combination deadline on monthly basis from July 14, 2023 to up to nine times by depositing
$75,000 each month into the Trust Account. As of December 31, 2023, the Sponsor deposited six monthly payments to the Trust Account
to extend the Business Combination deadline to January 14, 2023 of $75,000 for a total of $450,000.
Total outstanding notes related
to extension amounted to $1,360,924 as of December 31, 2023.
The shares of Class A
common stock subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the
IPO, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will consummate a Business Combination
and, solely if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the
Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company may elect to extend Business Combination deadline on a monthly basis for up to nine (9) times, up to April 14, 2024,
by depositing $75,000 to the Trust Account each time (the “Combination Period”).
If the Company is unable to
complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the
purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the
Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including
interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes (less
up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will
completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions,
if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval
of the Company’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s
obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
ACRI CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023
Note 1 — Organization and Business
Operation (cont.)
There will be no redemption rights or
liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete
the Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Sponsor, directors and officers of the Company (the
“founders”) have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive
their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares held by them in
connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their
Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and
restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow
redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company
does not complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision
relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) to waive their rights to
liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete
the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the
Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within
the Combination Period. If the Company submits it initial Business Combination to its stockholders for a vote, the Company will
complete its initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of
the initial Business Combination. In no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net
tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of Public Shares and the
related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.
The Sponsor has agreed that
it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company,
or by a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds
in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.20 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account
as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest
which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of
any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters
of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act (as defined in Note 2). Moreover, in the event
that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Company’s Sponsor will not be responsible
to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.
However, the Company has not
asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has
sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company.
Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the officers or directors will
indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2023,
the Company had cash of $54,289 and a working capital deficit of $2,025,294 (excluding income taxes payable which are to be paid from
Trust). The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company
and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s
assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The management’s plan in addressing this
uncertainty is through the working capital loans (see Note 6).
In addition, under the Company’s
Second Amended Charter provides that the Company will need to complete initial Business Combination by July 14, 2023, which may be
extended up to nine (9) times by an additional one month each time until April 14, 2024. If the Company is unable to complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company may seek approval from its stockholders holding no less than 65% or
more of the votes to approve to extend the completion period, If the Company fails to obtain approval from the stockholders for such extension
or the Company does not seek such extension, the Company will cease all operations.
There is no assurance that
the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period and that the Company will
obtain enough votes to extend the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statement does not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management
of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operation results.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies
including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the
requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of
the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until
private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class
of securities registered under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required
to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended
transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out
is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or
revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt
the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s
financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has
opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards
used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $54,289 and $547,478 cash
in bank as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Investments held in Trust Account
At December 31, 2023
and December 31, 2022, we had $36,672,846 and $89,140,977 of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds,
which are invested in short term U.S. Treasury securities.
All of the Company’s
investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the consolidated balance
sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held
in Trust Account are accounted as interest income in the statement of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820 “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures
about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with
the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value
hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are
further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset
or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions
about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available
in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is
categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
| ● | Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments
and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an
active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
| ● | Level 2 — Valuations based on (i) quoted
prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or
similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally
from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means. |
| ● | Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs
that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The fair value of the Company’s
assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Warrants
The Company accounts for Warrants
as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms
and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments
pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the Warrants meet all of the requirements
for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of Class A
common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of
the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional
judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified Warrants
that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time
of issuance. For issued or modified Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to
be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the
estimated fair value of the Warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Note 2 — Significant accounting
policies (cont.)
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its
common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at
fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are
either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s
control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity.
The Company’s Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and
subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023, common stock subject to
possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $11.12 per share as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’
equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and
adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases
or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or
accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the
requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs — SEC Materials”
(“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Offering
costs were $4,838,883 consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses that are directly related to the IPO
and charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company complies with accounting
and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both
the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the
redeemable common stock and non-redeemable common stock and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss
less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable common stock. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the
common stock subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. As of December 31, 2023
and 2022, the Company has not considered the effect of the Warrants sold in the IPO and private placement in the calculation of diluted
net income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the Warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of
such Warrants would be anti-dilutive and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially,
be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share
is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the periods presented.
The net income (loss) per share
presented in the statement of operations is based on the following:

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that
potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution. The Company has
not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account. As of
December 31, 2023, approximately $36.4 million was over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limit.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income
taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected
future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance
to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure
and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued
interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits, no amounts
accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review
that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company has identified
the United States as its only major tax jurisdiction.
The Company may be subject
to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include
questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state
tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over
the next twelve months.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB
issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt — Debt Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. The amendment in this ASU is to address issues identified as a result of the
complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for certain financial instruments with characteristics
of liabilities and equity. For convertible instruments, the Board decided to reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt
instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately
recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation
models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the
definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments
issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this Update are effective
for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible
to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the
beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company has early adopted this update and it will become effective on January 1, 2023. The
Company adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On August 16, 2022, President
Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376) (the “IRA”), which, among other things, imposes
a 1% excise tax on any domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The
Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions.
The excise tax is imposed on
the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally
1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax,
repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock
repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury
(the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or
avoidance of the excise tax. Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business
Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to
the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the
fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the
structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection
with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year
of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise
tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not
been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s
ability to complete a Business Combination.

As a result of the 5,369,950 shares
of Class A common stock redeemed in February 2023 and July, 2023, the Company accrued the 1% excise tax in the amount of $556,620
as a reduction of equity as the Company is uncertain about the structure of business combination and whether additional shares will be
issued within the same taxable year.
In December 2023, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU
2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate
reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and
foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also
requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes.
The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial
statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but
retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 4 — Initial Public
Offering
Pursuant to the IPO, the Company
sold 8,625,000 Units including 1,125,000 Units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option. Each
Unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and one-half of one
redeemable Public Warrants. The Company will not issue fractional shares. As a result, the Public Warrants must be exercised in multiples
of two. Each whole redeemable Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share Class A Common Stock at a price of
$11.50 per full share. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s
initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO, and will expire five years after the completion of the
Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
All of the 8,625,000 Public
Shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares if
there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the
Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which
has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject
to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

Note 4 — Initial Public
Offering (cont.)
The Company’s redeemable
common stock is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99.
If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption
value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable,
if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur
and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected
to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings,
or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).
As of December 31,
2023 and December 31, 2022, the common stock reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table.

Note 5 — Private Placement
Substantially concurrently
with the closing of the IPO on June 14, 2022, the Company completed the sale of 5,240,000 Private Warrants to the Sponsor at a purchase
price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $5,240,000. Private Warrants are identical to the Public
Warrants included in the Units sold in this IPO except that the Private Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable
upon exercise of the Private Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the
initial Business Combination except to permitted transferees.

Founder Shares
On February 4, 2022, the
Sponsor acquired 2,156,250 Class B common stock (“Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately
$0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 2,156,250 Founder Shares issued and outstanding.
The number of Founder Shares
issued was determined based on the expectation that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the number of Class A common stock
and Class B common stock issued and outstanding upon completion of the IPO.
The Founder Shares are identical
to the Public Shares. However, the founders have agreed (A) to vote their Founder Shares in favor of any proposed Business Combination,
(B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, prior to and unrelated to an initial Business Combination, an amendment to the Company’s
certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s redemption obligation to redeem all Public
Shares if the Company cannot complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, unless the Company provides public
stockholders an opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment, (C) not to redeem any shares, including
Founder Shares and Public Shares into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve
the Company’s proposed initial Business Combination or sell any shares to us in any tender offer in connection with the Company’s
proposed initial Business Combination, and (D) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon
winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated.

on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation
of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the Note has the right,
but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private placement warrants (the “Warrants”)
of the Company, as described in the prospectus of the Company (File Number 333-263477), by providing the Company with written notice
of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination.
The number of Warrants to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the
sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $1.00. Total extension notes amounted to $1,360,924 for the
year ended December 31, 2023.
On December 5, 2023, the
Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 to be used as working capital of the Company. This loan is non-interest bearing,
unsecured and is due at the earlier of (1) the date on which the Company consummates a business combination or merger with a qualified
target company or (2) the date of liquidation of the Company and have the same conversion features as the extension notes mentioned
above. The Company has an outstanding loan balance of $70,823 as of December 31, 2023.
Balance of Promissory Notes — related
party amounted to $1,431,747and nil on December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance
transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain
of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company
completes the initial Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does
not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds
from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be converted upon consummation of the Company’s
Business Combination into Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the
loans would be repaid out of funds not held in the Trust Account, and only to the extent available. Such Private Warrant converted from
loan would be identical to the Private Warrants sold in the private placement.

to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or the date of the

2022 between the Company and VStock Transfer, LLC, the warrant agent of the Company, a warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for
a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. This means that only a whole Warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant

statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant
agreement. No Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the
Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. Notwithstanding
the above, if the Company’s Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities
exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities
Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Warrants who exercise their Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event it so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain
in effect a registration statement, but it will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the shares under
applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

and ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The Company accounted for the Public
Warrants as an expense of the IPO resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimates that the fair value
of the warrants is approximately $1.4 million, or $0.157 per Unit, using the Monte Carlo Model. The fair value of
the Public Warrants is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 0.1%, (2) risk-free interest
rate of 3.08%, (3) expected life of 6.18 years, (4) exercise price of $11.50 and (5) stock price of
$9.84.

In assessing the realization
of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled
reversal of deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration
of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the
deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance.
As of December 31, 2023
and December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The effective tax
rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 and for the period from January 7, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022
were 32.7% and 51.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the federal and state statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due
to the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
Note 10 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent
events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statement is issued. The Company did
not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statement other than events below.
On January 12, 2024, February 13,

the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination to April 14, 2024 which are the seventh,
eighth, and ninth of the nine one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents.
In connection with the extension

Overview
Acri
Capital Acquisition I Corp. (“we”, “Company”, “ACAC”, “us” or “our”)
is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 7, 2022 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger,
capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Initial business combination with one or more businesses.
We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of Private Warrants
in a Private Placement to the Sponsor, potential additional shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We
expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete
an initial business combination will be successful.

entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of ACAC Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Units were
sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000 on June 14, 2022.

IPO). Upon the stockholders’ approval, on February 9, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its then-existing
amended and restated certificate of incorporation which became effective upon filing (which, upon the amendment, the “First Amended
Charter”). In connection with the Special Meeting I, 4,981,306 shares of ACAC Class A Common Stock of the Company were redeemed
and cancelled.
Pursuant
to the First Amended Charter, the Company may extend the deadline to complete its initial business combination (the “Combination
Deadline”) up to nine times on monthly basis from March 14, 2023 to December 14, 2023, by depositing $227,730.87 each
month into the Trust Account, representing $0.0625 per public share. Following the Special Meeting I, the Sponsor deposited four
monthly payments to the Trust Account to extend the Combination Deadline to July 14, 2023. The four monthly payments were evidenced
by four promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor, each in the principal amount of $227,730.87.
Special
Meeting II, Related Redemption, Extensions, and Extension Notes
On
July 11, 2023, the Company held another special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting II”), at
which the stockholders of the Company approved, among others, the proposal to amend the First Amended Charter to allow the Company
until July 14, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination, and, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend
Combination Deadline on a monthly basis for up to nine (9) times, up to April 14, 2024, by depositing $75,000 to the Trust

times by depositing $75,000 each month into the Trust Account. Following the Special Meeting II, the Sponsor deposited nine monthly
payments to the Trust Account to extend the Combination Deadline to April 14, 2024. The nine monthly payments were evidenced by nine
promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor, each in the principal amount of $75,000, or $675,000 in aggregate.
Special
Meeting III
On
April 9, 2024, ACAC held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting III”). At the Special Meeting III, the stockholders
of ACAC approved, among others, the proposal to amend the Second Amended Charter to allow ACAC until April 14, 2024 to consummate an

by ACAC to the Sponsor, each in the principal amount of $50,000.
Target
Amendment
At
the Special Meeting II, the stockholders also approved the proposal to amend the Charter to remove the restriction of Company to undertake
the Business Combination with any entity with its principal business operations or is headquartered in China (including Hong Kong and
Macau) (the “Target Amendment”). As result of the Target Amendment, the Company may decide to consummate the Business Combination
with an entity with its principal business operations or is headquartered in China (including Hong Kong and Macau), so the combined company
may face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties after the Business Combination.
Working
Capital Note
The
Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be
required. Any such loans would be on an interest-free basis and would be repaid only from funds held outside the Trust Account or from
funds released to us upon completion of the initial business combination. We may issue such working capital notes to the Sponsor, officers,
directors, of their affiliates, evidencing the terms of such loans.
On
December 5, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) to the Sponsor, under which the
Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 to be used for a portion of the working capital. This loan is non-interest bearing,
unsecured and is due at the earlier of (1) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination or (2) the
date on which the Company liquidates and dissolves. The Sponsor, as the payee, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the
note, in whole or in part, into Private Warrants of the Company, that are identical to the Private Warrants issued by the Company in
the Private Placement consummated simultaneously with the Company’s IPO, subject to certain exceptions, as described in the IPO
Prospectus, by providing the Company with written notice of the intention to convert at least two business days prior to the closing
of the initial business combination. The number of Private Warrants to be received by the Sponsor in connection with such conversion
shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the Sponsor by (y) $1.00.
As of date of this report, $491,645 working capital has been drawn by the Company and no balance has been repaid.
Target
Amendment
At
the Special Meeting II, the stockholders also approved the proposal to amend the Charter to remove the restriction of Company to
undertake an initial business combination with any entity with its principal business operations or is headquartered in China (including
Hong Kong and Macau) (the “Target Amendment”). As result of the Target Amendment, the Company may decide to consummate
the Business Combination with an entity with its principal business operations or is headquartered in China (including Hong Kong
and Macau), so the PubCo may face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties after the business combination. See “Part II — Other
Information — Item 1A — Risk Factors” for details.

Reincorporation
Merger
At
the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger (the “Reincorporation Merger Effective Time”), (i) each issued and
outstanding Unit will automatically separate into one share of our Class A Common Stock and one-half of one Warrant (the
“Separation of ACAC Units”), (ii) upon the Separation of Units, each share of Class A or Class B Common
Stock issued and outstanding shall be converted automatically into one share of common stock of Purchaser, par value $0.0001 per
share (“Purchaser Common Stock”), and (iii) each issued and outstanding Warrant shall be converted automatically
into one redeemable warrant of Purchaser, exercisable for one share of Purchaser Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50
(“Purchaser Warrant”).
Closing
Payment Stock
At
the effective time of the Acquisition Merger (“Effective Time”), by virtue of the Acquisition Merger and the Business Combination
Agreement, and without any action on the part of ACAC, Purchaser, Merger Sub, Foxx, or stockholders of Foxx immediately prior to the
Effective Time (the “Foxx Stockholders”), the Foxx Stockholders’ shares of common stock of Foxx (“Foxx Common
Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Foxx Common Stock converted from Transaction
Financing immediately prior to the Effective Time) will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest,
the applicable portion of the Closing Payment Stock (as defined herein) as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. “Closing
Payment Stock” means 5,000,000 shares of Purchaser Common Stock, which are equal or equivalent in value to the sum of $50,000,000
divided by $10.00 per share, among which, 500,000 shares in aggregate will be deposited to a segregated escrow account and to be released
to the Foxx Stockholders if and only if, prior to or upon one-year anniversary of the Business Combination Agreement, the U.S. Congress

Amendment
to the Underwriting Agreement
On
February 23, 2024, we entered into that certain Amendment (the “UA Amendment”) to the Underwriting Agreement, dated June
9, 2022 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with EF Hutton LLC (f/k/a EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, the “EF
Hutton”), the representative of the several underwriters of our IPO.
Pursuant
to the terms of the UA Amendment, EF Hutton and the Company have agreed to amend the Underwriting Agreement to replace the existing deferred
underwriting fee under the Underwriting Agreement from $2,587,500 payable in cash at the closing of a business combination, to (x) $1,725,000
payable in cash and (y) 43,125 shares of common stock of PubCo. to be issued, at the closing of the Acquisition Merger.
Results
of Operations
We
have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date except the preparation and completion of the IPO
and search for target candidate following the consummation of the IPO. Our only activities from inception through March 31, 2024
were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until
after the completion of our initial business combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on
marketable securities held after the IPO. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company
(for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching
for, and completing, an initial business combination.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had net income of $102,649 and $363,658, respectively, mainly from income on our investment
less our formation and operating costs and tax expenses.
For
the year ended December 31, 2023 and the period from January 7, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022, we had a net
income of $886,366 and $217,224, mainly from income on our investment less our formation and operating costs and tax expenses.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company’s liquidity needs up to March 31, 2024 had been satisfied through initial payment from the Sponsor of $25,000, proceeds
from the Private Placement of $5,240,000, and loan from sponsor of $2,077,568.
On
June 14, 2022, we consummated the IPO of 8,625,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per unit (including 1,125,000 units
issued upon the fully exercise of the over-allotment option), generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO and exercise of the over-allotment option in full by the underwriters, we consummated the sale of 5,240,000 warrants
as Private Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant entitling the registered holder to purchase one share of ACAC
Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, generating gross proceeds of $5,240,000. Following the closings of the IPO and the
sales of the Private Warrants on June 14, 2022, a total of $87,975,000 (or $10.20 per share) was placed in the Trust Account.
As
of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $89,955 and a working capital deficit of $2,515,342 (excluding taxes payable which will be
paid out from Trust).
On
February 8, 2023, in connection with the Special Meeting I, 4,981,306 shares of ACAC Class A Common Stock of the Company were rendered
for redemption at $10.33 per share, On July 11 2023, in connection with the Special Meeting II, 388,644 shares of ACAC
Class A Common Stock of the Company were redeemed and cancelled at $10.82 per share, resulting in approximately $37.4 million remaining
in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2024.
We
intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust
Account, excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest from the
Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete
an initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations
of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
We
intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence
on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their
representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate
and complete an initial business combination.
In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor
or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required.
If the Company completes the initial business combination, it would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business
combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but
no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrant,
at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.
We
do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However,
if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business
combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior
to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination
or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of our initial business combination,
in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial business combination.
Pursuant
to the Third Amended Charter, the Company may extend the Combination Deadline on a monthly basis from April 14, 2024 for up to nine times,
up to January 14, 2025, by depositing $50,000 each month into the Trust Account. Following the Special Meeting III, the Sponsor deposited
four monthly payments into the Trust Account to extend the Combination Deadline to August 14, 2024. The four monthly payments were evidenced
by four promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor, each in the principal amount of $50,000.
In
connection with the Monthly Extension Payments, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes (each a “Extension Note”)
to the Sponsor.
Each
of the Extension Notes is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation
of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may
be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the Extension Notes has the right, but not the obligation, to convert
each Extension Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into Private Warrants of the Company, as described in the Prospectus, by providing
the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company’s
initial business combination. The number of Private Warrants to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be
an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $1.00.
If
we are unable to complete an initial business combination by January 14, 2025, we may seek approval from our stockholders holding no
less than 65% or more of the votes to approve to extend the Combination Deadline, if we fail to obtain approval from our stockholders
for such extension or we do not seek such extension, the Company will cease all operations.
As
a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance
Sheet Financing Arrangements
We
have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2024. We do not participate
in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest
entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into
any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities,
or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual
Obligations
As
of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations
or long-term liabilities.
The
holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Warrants, and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and
any underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection
with the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register
such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements
filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing
of any such registration statements.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
In
preparing the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating
its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results may differ from
these estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates:
Investments
held in Trust Account
At March
31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $37,373,688 and $36,672,846 of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds,
which are invested in short term U.S. Treasury securities.
The
Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320 “Investments — Debt
and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until
maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheet and adjusted for the
amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
Offering
Costs
The
Company complies with the requirements of ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs — SEC Materials”
(“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs
consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses that are directly related to the IPO and charged to shareholders’
equity upon the completion of the IPO.
Warrants
We
account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s
specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”
(“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers
whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a
liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under
ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders
could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other
conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of
warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For
issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component
of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants
are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. We determined
that upon further review of the proposed form of warrant agreement, management concluded that the warrants included in the units issued
in the IPO pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment
Common
Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are
measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either
within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s
control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s
Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence
of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2024, common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption
value of $11.30 per share as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock
to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common
stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.
Net
Income (Loss) per Share
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net
income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income
(loss) allocable to both the redeemable common stock and non-redeemable common stock and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated
using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable common stock. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption
value of the common stock subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”
(“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories
in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between
domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU
2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among
other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual
financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis,
but retrospective application is permitted. We evaluated the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our unaudited consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures and believe that the adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial
statements.
