 affect the rights of the registered holders of the share rights, provided that
the approval by the holders of at least a majority of then-outstanding public share rights is required to make any change that adversely
affects the interests of the registered holders of public share rights. Accordingly, HVII may amend the terms of the public share rights
in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least a majority of then-outstanding public share rights approve of such amendment and,
solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the private placement share rights or any provision of the share right agreement
with respect to the private placement units, a majority of the number of then outstanding private placement units. Although HVII’s
ability to amend the terms of the public share rights with the consent of at least a majority of then outstanding public share rights
is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, convert the share rights into cash or another security,
shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of HVII’s Class A ordinary shares exchangeable upon conversion of a share right.

HVII’s
share right agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of HVII’s
share rights, which could limit the ability of share right holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with HVII.

HVII’s
share right agreement provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against HVII arising out of or relating
in any way to the share right agreement, including under the Securities Act, will 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 (ii) that HVII irrevocably submits to such
jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. HVII will waive any objection
to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, these provisions of the share right agreement do 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 any of HVII’s share rights shall be deemed to have
