C. Investment Representations.


 


(i) Each Purchaser is acquiring
the $11.50 Exercise Price Warrants and, upon exercise of the $11.50 Exercise Price Warrants, the Shares issuable upon such exercise (collectively,

or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.

 “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rules 501(a)(3) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and such Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule
506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.


 


(iii) Each 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 such Purchaser’s
compliance with, the representations and warranties of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire such Securities.


 


(iv) Each 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) Each Purchaser has been

sale of the Securities which have been requested by such Purchaser. Each Purchaser been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the
executive officers and directors of the Company. Each 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) Each 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

(vii) Each Purchaser
understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities

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 each 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, such 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.


 


(viii) Each Purchaser
has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, understands 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. Each 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. Each Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
