referenced herein, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Atlas Crest Investment Corp. V a Delaware

Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share. The Purchaser has agreed
to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 warrants (or up to 4,400,000 warrants if the over-allotment option in connection with the
Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant entitling
the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share.

of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

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
of 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.

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

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

(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. While the 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, the 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”);

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)           
The 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. 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.
