THIS WARRANT ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated July 31, 2024, is made by and among CETUS CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (“SPAC”), MKDWELL TECH INC., a BVI business company (the “Company”), and CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (in such capacity, the “Warrant Agent”), and amends the Warrant Agreement (the “Existing Warrant Agreement”), dated January 31, 2023, by and between SPAC and the Warrant Agent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Existing Warrant Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, all of the Warrants are governed by the Existing Warrant Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated as of June 20, 2023 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, SPAC, MKD Technology Inc., a Taiwan corporation, MKDWELL Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“MKD BVI”), MKDMerger1 Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 1”), MKDMerger2 Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 2”), and the other parties thereto, (1) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into MKD BVI, with MKD BVI being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition Merger”); and (2) SPAC shall merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with SPAC being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “SPAC Merger”, and, together with the Acquisition Merger, the “Mergers,” and together with all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

 

WHEREAS, upon consummation of the SPAC Merger, as provided in Section 4.5 of the Existing Warrant Agreement, the Warrants will no longer be exercisable for Common Stock (as defined in the Existing Warrant) but instead will be exercisable (subject to the terms of the Existing Warrant Agreement as amended hereby) for the ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Ordinary Shares”);

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the SPAC Merger, SPAC desires to assign all of its right, title and interest in and to, and all of its obligations under, the Existing Warrant Agreement to the Company, and the Company wishes to accept such assignment and assumption; and

 

WHEREAS, Section 9.8 of the Existing Warrant Agreement provides that SPAC and the Warrant Agent may amend the Existing Warrant Agreement without the consent of any Registered Holders as the parties may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem shall not adversely affect the rights of the Registered Holders under the Existing Warrant Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION; CONSENT.

 

1.1 Assignment and Assumption. As of and with effect on and from the effective time of the SPAC Merger (the “SPAC Merger Effective Time”), SPAC hereby assigns to the Company all of SPAC’s right, title and interest in and to the Existing Warrant Agreement (as amended hereby); and the Company hereby assumes, and agrees to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, as the same become due, all of SPAC’s liabilities and obligations under the Existing Warrant Agreement (as amended hereby) arising on, from and after the SPAC Merger Effective Time.

 

1.2 Consent. The Warrant Agent hereby consents to (i) the assignment of the Existing Warrant Agreement by SPAC to the Company pursuant to Section 1.1 and the assumption of the Existing Warrant Agreement by the Company from SPAC pursuant to Section 1.1, in each case effective as of the SPAC Merger Effective Time, and (ii) the continuation of the Existing Warrant Agreement (as amended by this Agreement), in full force and effect from and after the SPAC Merger Effective Time.

If the SPAC Merger occurs but thereafter the Acquisition Merger does not occur and the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, each of SPAC, the Company and the Warrant Agent shall take all such actions as are necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws such that each of SPAC and the Registered Holders shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be returned to the position in which it would have been, and would be entitled to all rights and benefits that it would have had under the Existing Warrant Agreement, if the SPAC Merger had not occurred.

3. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

 

3.1 Effectiveness of the Amendment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the effectiveness of this Agreement shall be expressly subject to the occurrence of the SPAC Merger and substantially contemporaneous occurrence of the Closing (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and shall automatically be terminated and shall be null and void if the Business Combination Agreement shall be terminated for any reason.

 

3.2 Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company, SPAC or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

 

3.3 Applicable Law and Exclusive Forum. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York. Subject to applicable law, each of the Company and SPAC hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. Each of the Company and SPAC hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph 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 district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.

 

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in this Section 3.3. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions above, is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any warrant holder, such warrant holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.

 

3.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

 

3.5 Effect of Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.

 

3.6 Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.
