 ARTICLE III 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER 

The Buyer represents and warrants that the statements contained in this ARTICLE III are correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement.

 Section 3.1 Organization and Good Standing. The Buyer is an exempted company duly formed and registered, validly existing,
and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands. 
 Section 3.2 Power and Authority; Enforceability. This Agreement
constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Buyer, enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with its terms. The Buyer has full entity power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations
hereunder. The Buyer has taken all actions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by, and is enforceable against, the Buyer. 
 Section 3.3 Investment Representations. 

(a) The Buyer has received, has thoroughly read, is familiar with and understands the contents of this Agreement. 

(b) The Buyer hereby acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves certain significant risks. The Buyer acknowledges that there is a
substantial risk that it will lose all or a portion of its investment and that it is financially capable of bearing the risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Buyer acknowledges that it is sophisticated in financial matters
and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Shares and the Company, and has the capacity to protect its own interests. The Buyer has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Shares for the foreseeable future and is
able to bear the risk of that investment for an indefinite period. The Buyer understands that there presently is no public market for the Shares and none is anticipated to develop in the foreseeable future. The Buyer’s present financial
condition is such that the Buyer is under no present or contemplated future need to dispose of any portion of the Shares subscribed for hereby to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need or indebtedness. The Buyer’s overall
commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth and the investment in the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. 

(c) The Buyer acknowledges that the Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities act, and
are being sold on the basis of exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities acts, except those state securities acts that require registration of the Shares thereunder. Reliance on such exemptions, where
applicable, is predicated in part on the accuracy of the Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth herein. The Buyer acknowledges and hereby agrees that the Shares will not be transferable under any circumstances unless the Buyer either
registers the Shares in accordance with federal and state securities laws or finds and complies with an available exemption under such laws. Accordingly, the Buyer hereby acknowledges that there can be no assurance that it will be able to liquidate
its investment in the Company. 
 (d) There are substantial risk factors pertaining to an investment in the Company. The Buyer acknowledges
that it has read the information set forth above regarding certain of such risks and is familiar with the nature and scope of all such risks, including, without limitation, risks arising from the fact that the Company is an entity with limited
operating history and financial resources; and the Buyer is fully able to bear the economic risks of such investment for an indefinite period, and can afford a complete loss thereof. 

(e) The Buyer has been given the opportunity to (i) ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its designated
representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the offering, the Company and the business and financial condition of the Company and (ii) obtain any additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable
effort or expense that is necessary to assist the Buyer in evaluating the advisability of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The Buyer further represents and warrants that, prior to signing this Agreement, it has asked such
questions, received such answers and obtained such information as it has deemed necessary or advisable to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The Buyer is not relying on any oral
representation made by any person as to the Company or its operations, financial condition or prospects. 
 (f) The Buyer understands that no
federal, state or other governmental authority has made any recommendation, findings or determination relating to the merits of an investment in the Company.

 Section 5.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

Section 5.6 Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not
affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 Section 5.7 Governing Law. This Agreement, the entire
relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of New

Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto. 

Section 5.10 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any

 Section 5.12 Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and

have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter
(regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. 

Section 5.13 Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder,
whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.
