    	4



    	 



    

 


(ii)
The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the terms hereof by the Purchaser
does not and shall not as of each Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the 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 Sponsor Warrants, and upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants, the Ordinary 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 decided to enter into this Agreement not 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 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) in a registered transaction 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 resale of the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or
to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser 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 a “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 despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities
can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.

(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 investments in the Securities.
