terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject.


 


C. Investment
Representations.


 


(i) 
The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable
upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment
purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.


 


(ii) 
The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 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.


 






    3


     


    

 


(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 passed
on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities
by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.


 


(vii) 
The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or
any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered
thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration
Rights Agreement, 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.  The Private Placement
Warrants will bear a legend and appropriate “stop transfer” instructions (or an appropriate notation if the warrants
are issued in book entry form) relating to the foregoing. The Purchaser further understands that the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees,
both before and after an initial business combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when
reselling the securities of a blank check company.  Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities
Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities until the one-year anniversary following consummation of
an initial business combination despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule.


 


(viii) 
The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knows of the high degree of risk associated
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.
