If, among other conditions, (i) the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”),

purchase (in open market transactions or otherwise) and beneficially own no less than 1,250,000 Class A Common Shares and (ii) following
such purchases, not to sell, contract to sell, redeem or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, the acquired shares

future of the Issuer, as well as other matters related to the Issuer. These discussions may also include a review of options for enhancing
shareholder value through, among other things, various strategic alternatives (including acquisitions and divestitures) or operational
or management initiatives.
Mr. Hamamoto intends to review his investment
in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may take from time to time and at any time in the future, depending on various factors (including,
without limitation, the outcome of the Business Combination or any other discussions referenced above), such actions as he deems appropriate
in respect thereof, including proposing or considering, or changing his intention with respect to, one or more of the actions described
above or otherwise referred to in subparagraphs (a)-(j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Mr. Hamamoto
