C. Investment Representations.


 


(i) The Sponsor is acquiring
the Private Shares, for such Sponsor’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 Sponsor acknowledges
the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).


 


(iii) The Sponsor understands
that the Private Shares 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 Sponsor’s
compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Sponsor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions
and the eligibility of the Sponsor to acquire such Private Shares.


 


(iv) The Sponsor 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.


 


(v) The Sponsor 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 Sponsor. The Sponsor has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the
executive officers and directors of the Company. The Sponsor understands that its investment in the Private Shares 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 Private Shares.


 


(vi) The Sponsor 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 Private Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Private Shares by the Sponsor nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Private Shares.


 


(vii) The Sponsor understands
that: (a) the Private Shares 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 Private Shares 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 Sponsor understands that the Securities and Exchange Commission
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 Private
Shares despite technical compliance with the certain requirements of such Rule, and the Private Shares can be resold only through a registered
offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.


 


(viii) The Sponsor has
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge 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 Private Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Private Shares in the amount contemplated hereunder for
an indefinite period of time. The Founders 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 Private Shares. The Sponsor
can afford a complete loss of its investments in the Private Shares.

that the Private Shares shall bear the following legend and appropriate “stop transfer restrictions”:

REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION
