Exhibit 10.9

FIRST AMENDMENT TO FINDER’S ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT

This First Amendment (“First Amendment”) to the Finder’s fee Agreement (as defined below) is made and entered into as of April 29, 2025, by and between HUGH GROW INVESTMENT LTD, a British Virgin Islands (BVI) limited Company (the “Service Provider”) and Quartzsea Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman company (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Finder’s Engagement Agreement.

WHEREAS, Service Provider and the Company entered into that certain Finder’s Engagement Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2025 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Original Agreement,” and as amended, including by this First Amendment, the “Finder’s Engagement Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the parties now desire to amend the Finder’s Engagement Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in accordance with the terms of the Finder’s Engagement Agreement, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:

1. Amendments to the Finder’s Engagement Agreement. The parties hereby agree that the Finder’s Engagement Agreement is to be amended as follows:

Section 4. Fees. The Company shall pay to Finder the following compensation for its services under this Agreement:

“(a) Retainer. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Finder a one time, non-refundable retainer fee in the amount of $150,000 (one hundred fifty thousand U.S. dollars). The Retainer shall be earned upon receipt and shall not be credited against any other fees payable hereunder.

(b) Success Fee. Upon the closing (or closings) of a Transaction, the Company shall pay to Finder a success fee in the amount of $3,500,000 (three million five hundred thousand U.S. dollars), or such other amount as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties (the “Success Fee”). The Success Fee shall be payable in cash via wire transfer in accordance with payment instructions to be provided by Finder.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Success Fee is a flat fee and is not calculated as a percentage of the Total Consideration or any other transaction value metric.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Total Consideration” shall mean the total value of all cash, securities, or other property paid or transferred at the closing (or closings) of a Transaction by the Company and a Potential Target and/or their respective shareholders or creditors or to be paid or transferred in the future to such parties with respect to such Transaction (other than payments of interest or dividends), including, without limitation, any value paid in respect of (i) the assets of the Company or Potential Target, (ii) the capital stock of the Company or Potential Target (and any securities convertible into options, warrants or other rights to acquire such capital stock), and (iii) the assumption, retirement or defeasance, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), of any long-term liability of the Company or Potential Target or repayment of indebtedness, including, without limitation, indebtedness secured by the assets of the Company or Potential Target, capital leases or preferred stock obligations.

If all or a portion of Total Consideration consists of non-cash consideration consisting of common stock, options, warrants or rights for which a public trading market existed prior to consummation of the Transaction, then the value of such securities shall be determined by the closing or last sales price thereof two business days prior to the record date for the special meeting of shareholders to approve the Transaction. If all or a portion of the Total Consideration is other than cash and securities for which there is a public trading market, then the value of such other consideration shall be the fair market value thereof on the date the Transaction is consummated as mutually agreed upon in good faith by the Company and Finder. If all or a portion of the Total Consideration includes future payments, whether or not in escrow, then the Company shall pay Finder an additional cash fee, determined in accordance with this Section 4, when, and if such payments are paid.

The Company shall reimburse Finder on a monthly basis for all reasonable, actual and verifiable out-of-pocket expenses (including Finder’s legal counsel and other professional advisor fees, travel expenses, and document production costs) arising in connection with Finder’s engagement under this Agreement; provided, however, that such expenses in the aggregate shall not exceed $150,000 without the Company’s prior written approval, which approval is not to be unreasonably withheld. Finder shall provide detailed monthly summaries of expenses for which reimbursement is requested by Finder, and will submit invoices for those expenses to the Company, which will pay those invoices within thirty (30) days of receipt.

The Parties further acknowledge and agree that Finder is not a registered broker-dealer under U.S. securities laws, nor is Finder acting as a broker-dealer in connection with the Transaction. Finder shall not engage in any activities that would require broker-dealer registration, including but not limited to the solicitation of investors or the execution of securities transactions. All services performed by Finder hereunder shall be structured and conducted in accordance with applicable SEC and FINRA regulatory guidance to ensure full compliance with broker-dealer registration exemptions.”

2. Miscellaneous. Except as expressly provided in this First Amendment, all of the terms and provisions in the Original Agreement are and shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. This First Amendment does not constitute, directly or by implication, an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Original Agreement, or any other right, remedy, power or privilege of any party, except as expressly set forth herein. Any reference to the Finder’s Engagement Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate entered into or issued in connection therewith shall hereinafter mean the Original Agreement, as amended by this First Amendment (or as the Finder’s Engagement Agreement may be further amended or modified after the date hereof in accordance with the terms thereof). The Original Agreement, as amended by this First Amendment, and the documents or instruments attached hereto or thereto or referenced herein or therein, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Finder’s Engagement Agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to its subject matter. If any provision of the Original Agreement is materially different from or inconsistent with any provision of this First Amendment, the provision of this First Amendment shall control, and the provision of the Original Agreement shall, to the extent of such difference or inconsistency, be disregarded.

Finder’s Engagement Agreement

Dear Qi Gong,

This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) confirms the engagement of HUGH GROW INVESTMENT LTD. (the “Finder”) by Quartzsea Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”), for the purpose of introducing potential target businesses to the Company, on a nonexclusive basis, in connection with a potential merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination transaction by the Company (a “Transaction”), as described in the Company’s final prospectus dated March 19, 2025 (the “Prospectus”).

Section 1. Services. Finder may identify and introduce the Company to one or more potential target businesses. Finder will notify the Company in writing of the name of any such potential target and, in the event the Company has not previously been introduced to such potential target by any third party, the Company will accept that notification, by countersignature or in a written or emailed communication with Finder, upon which acceptance that potential target business will be deemed “approved” by the Company. Approved potential target businesses (each, a “Potential Target”) include without limitation the entities listed on Exhibit A hereto. Exhibit A may be updated from time to time by mutual agreement of Finder and the Company (together, the “Parties”), but regardless of any such updating, each additional Potential Target will be deemed to have been added to Exhibit A upon its approval by the Company.

During the term of Finder’s engagement by the Company, Finder, as appropriate and to the extent requested by the Company, will make initial contacts with each Potential Target to ascertain its interest in a Transaction with the Company (to the extent this was not done prior to the Company’s approval of the Potential Target), and will facilitate preliminary discussions regarding a Transaction between Potential Target and the Company.

Finder will not and does not provide legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or audit advice. Finder is not being engaged to provide, and will not provide, any due diligence services in connection with any Transaction.

It is understood that the Company is under no obligation to enter into a Transaction and that the Company will be within its rights to decline to initiate or to continue discussions with any Potential Target, or to decline any offer made in connection with a Transaction at any time. The Company acknowledges and agrees that whether it proceeds with a Transaction, with a Potential Target or otherwise, is a decision for which it has sole responsibility, and that it also shall be solely responsible for any other decision it makes regarding a Transaction or a Potential Target.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s engagement of Finder pursuant to this Agreement is not intended, and that Finder is not in a position, to achieve or to guarantee the closing of any Transaction or the Company’s achievement of any strategic or financial goal underlying any Transaction.

Finder will not be obligated to spend any specific amount of time in rendering the services to be provided under this Agreement. Finder may choose to have these services rendered by any of its principals, employees, or consultants, as Finder determines in its sole discretion.

Should Finder share with the Company, in connection with Finder’s engagement under this Agreement, any opinion or advice (written or oral), such communication (i) is intended solely for the confidential use of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and those executive officers of the Company who have active roles in connection with the Transaction, solely in their capacity as such, and solely for purposes relating to the Transaction; (ii) is not intended for disclosure to or for use by any security holder or creditor of the Company; and (iii) shall not confer any right or remedy upon the Company or any other person or entity.

For the avoidance of doubt, Finder shall perform its services in a manner consistent with applicable U.S. securities laws, including those administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Finder shall not engage in any activity that would require registration as a broker-dealer under such laws, and shall confine its role strictly to that of a non-registered finder as permitted under relevant regulatory interpretations.

Section 2. Potential Target Information. Finder will not and does not make any representation or warranty concerning the accuracy or completeness of any information provided to the Company, or its representatives or affiliates, (i) by or about the Potential Target or any other potential party to the Transaction, or (ii) by or on behalf of Finder, including without limitation information about the Potential Target’s business, financial condition, forecasts and projections, management, and affiliates (together, “Potential Target Information”).

The Company acknowledges and agrees that Finder, in rendering services under this Agreement, may be using Potential Target Information without any independent evaluation, appraisal or verification thereof; has no obligation to conduct any independent evaluation, appraisal or verification of Potential Target Information; is entitled to assume that all Potential Target Information has been prepared and provided in good faith and reasonably; and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or the completeness of Potential Target Information.

Section 3. Company Information. The Company will provide Finder and Potential Targets with all information about the Company and its control persons and/or beneficial owners that Finder and the Potential Targets, as the case may be, reasonably may request, including without limitation information about the Company’s business, financial condition, forecasts and projections, management, and affiliates, and all such information as Finder may require in order to satisfy its obligations as a U.S. financial institution under the USA PATRIOT Act and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network regulations; and, further, the Company will provide Finder and Potential Targets reasonable access to the Company’s officers, directors, accountants, and counsel, and will not omit or withhold any material information or access. Finder, in rendering services under this Agreement, may use and rely on such information, discussions with the Company representatives, and other information available from public sources and other sources that Finder deems to be reliable (together, “Company Information”).

The Company represents and warrants to Finder that Company Information, as of the date provided, is and will be true and correct in all material respects; will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; and, to the extent that it includes financial forecasts or projections, has been prepared in good faith, reasonably, and based on the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company. The Company will notify Finder promptly of any material change or development of which it becomes aware in the business or financial condition of the Company, any Potential Target, or any other potential party to a Transaction, and will amend or supplement the Company Information so that it will not be misleading in any material respect or omit to state any material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary in order to make the Company Information not misleading.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that Finder, in rendering services under this Agreement, may be using Company Information without any independent evaluation, appraisal or verification; has no obligation to conduct any independent evaluation, appraisal or verification of Company Information; is entitled to assume that all Company Information has been prepared and provided in good faith and reasonably; and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or the completeness of Company Information.

Section 4. Fees. The Company shall pay to Finder the following compensation for its services under this Agreement:

(a) Retainer. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Finder a one-time, non-refundable retainer fee in the amount of $350,000 (three hundred fifty thousand U.S. dollars). The Retainer shall be earned upon receipt and shall not be credited against any other fees payable hereunder.

(b) Success Fee. Upon the closing (or closings) of a Transaction, the Company shall pay to Finder a success fee in the amount of $3,500,000 (three million five hundred thousand U.S. dollars), or such other amount as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties (the “Success Fee”). The Success Fee shall be payable in cash via wire transfer in accordance with payment instructions to be provided by Finder.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Success Fee is a flat fee and is not calculated as a percentage of the Total Consideration or any other transaction value metric.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Total Consideration” shall mean the total value of all cash, securities, or other property paid or transferred at the closing (or closings) of a Transaction by the Company and a Potential Target and/or their respective shareholders or creditors or to be paid or transferred in the future to such parties with respect to such Transaction (other than payments of interest or dividends), including, without limitation, any value paid in respect of (i) the assets of the Company or Potential Target, (ii) the capital stock of the Company or Potential Target (and any securities convertible into options, warrants or other rights to acquire such capital stock), and (iii) the assumption, retirement or defeasance, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), of any long-term liability of the Company or Potential Target or repayment of indebtedness, including, without limitation, indebtedness secured by the assets of the Company or Potential Target, capital leases or preferred stock obligations.

If all or a portion of Total Consideration consists of non-cash consideration consisting of common stock, options, warrants or rights for which a public trading market existed prior to consummation of the Transaction, then the value of such securities shall be determined by the closing or last sales price thereof two business days prior to the record date for the special meeting of shareholders to approve the Transaction. If all or a portion of the Total Consideration is other than cash and securities for which there is a public trading market, then the value of such other consideration shall be the fair market value thereof on the date the Transaction is consummated as mutually agreed upon in good faith by the Company and Finder. If all or a portion of the Total Consideration includes future payments, whether or not in escrow, then the Company shall pay Finder an additional cash fee, determined in accordance with this Section 4, when, and if such payments are paid.

The Company shall reimburse Finder on a monthly basis for all reasonable, actual and verifiable out-of-pocket expenses (including Finder’s legal counsel and other professional advisor fees, travel expenses, and document production costs) arising in connection with Finder’s engagement under this Agreement; provided, however, that such expenses in the aggregate shall not exceed $150,000 without the Company’s prior written approval, which approval is not to be unreasonably withheld. Finder shall provide detailed monthly summaries of expenses for which reimbursement is requested by Finder, and will submit invoices for those expenses to the Company, which will pay those invoices within thirty (30) days of receipt.

The Parties further acknowledge and agree that Finder is not a registered broker-dealer under U.S. securities laws, nor is Finder acting as a broker-dealer in connection with the Transaction. Finder shall not engage in any activities that would require broker-dealer registration, including but not limited to the solicitation of investors or the execution of securities transactions. All services performed by Finder hereunder shall be structured and conducted in accordance with applicable SEC and FINRA regulatory guidance to ensure full compliance with broker-dealer registration exemptions.

Section 5. Obligations in Connection with Transaction. In connection with any Transaction involving an approved Potential Target, the Company shall (i) retain a firm to prepare a report and provide an opinion concerning the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Transaction to the Company and its unaffiliated shareholders based upon, among other things, a financial review of the Potential Target and its business and operations, (ii) engage an investigative search firm to conduct an investigation of the directors and executive officers of the Potential Target and provide copies of the search reports to Finder and its legal counsel, (iii) require counsel to the Company and the Potential Target of such Transaction to provide negative assurance letters to Finder as of the consummation of the Transaction in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Finder, (iv) require the accounting firm or firms that have audited any financial statements set forth in any disclosure document relating to such Transaction to provide “comfort letters” to Finder pursuant to AU 634 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board as of the effectiveness of any such disclosure document that was filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and as of the consummation of the Transaction and (v) take any other actions reasonably requested by Finder.

Section 6. Indemnification of Finder. The Company will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Finder and each other Indemnified Party (as defined in the indemnification provisions annexed to this Agreement as Exhibit B (the “Indemnification Provisions”)), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, related to, arising out of, or in connection with Finder’s engagement under this Agreement, Finder’s performance of any service in connection with the Agreement, or any Transaction, except to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and otherwise will indemnify the Indemnified Parties in accordance with the Indemnification Provisions, which are incorporated by reference herein.

Section 7. Termination of Engagement. Finder’s engagement under this Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or Finder at any time, with or without cause, upon written advice to that effect by one Party to the other Party; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such termination, Finder will be entitled to its full fee under Section 4 hereof in the event that at any time prior to the expiration of 12 months after termination, the Company consummates a Transaction, or enters into a letter of intent or a definitive agreement to consummate a Transaction, which Transaction is thereafter consummated, with (a) any Potential Target, (b) any other party that was identified or introduced by Finder to the Company during the term of this Agreement, or (c) any other party with respect to which Finder assisted the Company in any way in accomplishing a Transaction during the term of this Agreement, including without limitation by participating in any discussion regarding a Transaction during the term of this Agreement. The termination of this Agreement will not terminate the provisions of Sections 2 through 11 hereof or the Indemnification Provisions, each of which will remain operative regardless of any termination of this Agreement.

Section 8. Confidentiality. In connection with this Agreement, Finder will provide to the Company the names and contact information of certain representatives of Potential Targets, all of which is confidential information of Finder. The Company will not use any of this confidential information for any purpose other than as contemplated by this Agreement and will treat the information as confidential as long as the information otherwise remains non-public. Except as otherwise required by law or regulatory authority or as contemplated by this Agreement, the Company will not disclose this confidential information to any third party without the consent of Finder.

The Company will keep confidential the terms of this Agreement and any advice, opinion, report, materials, or other information provided to the Company by Finder under this Agreement. The Company shall not disclose this confidential information to any third party (other than to the Company’s counsel and other advisors, on a confidential basis), or otherwise publicly refer to it, except with the prior written consent of Finder.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that Finder and its affiliates, in the ordinary course, may have received, and may receive, information from third parties that could be relevant to Finder’s engagement under this Agreement, but that is nevertheless subject to a contractual, equitable or statutory obligation of confidentiality, and that Finder is under no obligation to disclose, directly or indirectly, any such information or the fact that Finder is in possession of such information.

Section 9. Public Announcements. Finder may, at its option and expense and after public announcement of the Transaction, place announcements and advertisements or otherwise publicize the Transaction and Finder’s role in it, which public disclosures may include, without limitation, the reproduction of the Company’s logo and a hyperlink to the Company’s website on Finder’s website, and announcements or advertisements in such financial and other newspapers and journals as Finder may choose. The Company, if requested by Finder, will include a mutually acceptable reference to Finder in any press release or other public announcement made by the Company regarding the Transaction and the matters described in this Agreement.

Section 10. Successors and Assigns. The benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the Parties’, and the Indemnified Parties’ (as that term is defined in the Indemnification Provisions) respective successors and assigns, and the obligations and liabilities assumed in this Agreement by the Parties and the Indemnifying Parties (as that term is defined in the Indemnification Provisions) shall be binding upon their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the rights and obligations under this Agreement of either Party may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any purported assignment that does not comply with this provision shall be null and void.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.

EXHIBIT A

Names of Potential Targets

EXHIBIT B

INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

These Indemnification Provisions are annexed as Exhibit B to, and incorporated by reference into, the Finder’s Engagement Agreement dated April 22, 2025, between Finder (as defined therein) and the Company (as defined therein) (the “Agreement”). In connection with the Agreement, Finder and the Company agree as follow:

1. In the event that Finder or any of its affiliates, or any of their respective members, principals, partners, officers, directors, advisors, representatives, employees, agents, or controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”), becomes involved in any capacity in any claim, counterclaim, action, proceeding or investigation (collectively, an “Indemnified Proceeding”) brought or threatened by or against any party, including without limitation the Company’s security holders or creditors, related to, arising out of, or in connection with Finder’s engagement under the Agreement, Finder’s performance of any service in connection with the Agreement, or any Transaction (as defined in the Agreement), whether or not the Indemnified Proceeding was initiated or brought by or on behalf of the Company, and whether or not the Company or an Indemnified Party is a party to the Indemnified Proceeding, then, in connection with that Indemnified Proceeding, the Company and its affiliates (the “Indemnifying Parties”):

(a) will reimburse each Indemnified Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the reasonable cost of any investigation and preparation) as and when incurred; and

(b) will defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, except to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

2. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable or insufficient, then the Indemnifying Parties shall contribute to the expense, loss, claim, damage, and liability for which such indemnification is unavailable or insufficient in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Company and its security holders on the one hand and the Indemnified Parties on the other hand in the matters contemplated by the Finder’s engagement as well as the relative fault of the Company and such Indemnified Parties with respect to such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability, and any other relevant equitable considerations. For purposes of these Indemnification Provisions, the relative economic interests of the Company and its security holders and the Indemnified Parties shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the aggregate consideration paid or contemplated to be paid, or received or contemplated to be received, by the Company or its security holders, as the case may be, pursuant to a Transaction (whether or not consummated), bears to (ii) the fees paid to Finder under the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) to the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Indemnified Parties be required to contribute an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of fees actually paid to and received by Finder under the Agreement; and (b) no person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for fraudulent misrepresentation.

3. No Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company or its security holders or creditors related to, arising out of or in connection with Finder’s engagement under the Agreement, Finder’s performance of any service in connection with the Agreement, or any Transaction, except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, or liability incurred by the Company is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

4. The Indemnifying Parties’ obligations under these Indemnification Provisions shall be in addition to any liability that the Company otherwise may have, shall not limit or be limited by any right Finder or any other Indemnified Party otherwise may have, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of all Indemnified Parties and Indemnifying Parties.

5. If any Indemnified Proceeding to which the Company is not a party is brought, threatened or asserted against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be sought under these Indemnification Provisions, Finder promptly shall notify the Company, provided that the failure so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability that the Company may have on account of this Agreement except to the extent that (i) the Company did not otherwise learn of the Indemnified Proceeding and (b) the failure to notify results in the forfeiture by the Company of substantial rights and defenses.

6. Without Finder’s prior written consent, the Company will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Indemnified Proceeding (whether or not Finder or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party) in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be sought under these Indemnification Provisions, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release from the settling, compromising, or consenting party of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of the Indemnified Proceeding and the allegations therein, and (ii) does not contain any adverse statement with respect to any Indemnified Party.

7. Neither termination nor completion of the Agreement shall affect these Indemnification Provisions, which shall remain operative and in full force and effect.
