C.
Investment Representations.


 


(i) 
The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares

purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.

Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event
as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities 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
the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth
herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.


 


(iv) 
The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising
within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.


 


(v) 
The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and
materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded
the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment
in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary
to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.


 


(vi) 
The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has

by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. While the Purchaser understands that Rule
144 under the Securities Act is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business
combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, the Purchaser understands
that Rule 144 includes an exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that
was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements
of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the issuer
of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12
months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and
(iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting
its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount
contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial
needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment
in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
