if the underwriter of the Public Offering exercises its over-allotment option in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”),
each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share.


 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration

shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, up to 600,000 Private Placement Warrants

Act.


 


(iii)     The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon
