	Re:	Initial Public Offering


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is
being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered
into by and between APx Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), BofA Securities,
Inc., as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters (each, an “Underwriter”
and collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”),
of up to 17,250,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 2,250,000 units that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any)
(the “Units”), each comprised of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001
per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant (each,
a “Warrant”) entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per
share, subject to adjustment as described in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Units will be sold in the Public Offering pursuant
to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Company has applied to have the Units listed on
the Nasdaq Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof.


 


In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the
Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, each of APx Cap Sponsor Group I, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”)
and the undersigned individuals, each of whom is, or will be, a member of the Company’s board of directors and/or management team
(each of the undersigned individuals, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”),
hereby agrees with the Company as follows:


 


		1.	The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection
with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any Ordinary Shares (as defined below) owned by it, him or
her in favor of any proposed Business Combination (including any proposals recommended by the Company’s board of directors in connection
with such Business Combination) and (ii) not redeem any Ordinary Shares owned by it, him or her in connection with such shareholder
approval. If the Company seeks to consummate a proposed Business Combination by engaging in a tender offer, the Sponsor and each Insider
agrees that it, he or she will not sell or tender any Ordinary Shares owned by it, him or her in connection therewith.



 


		2.	The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 15
months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 21 months, as may be extended by the Company in accordance with its amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Charter”), the
Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose
of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the
Class A Ordinary Shares sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at a
per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (as defined below), including interest
earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided
by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all Public Shareholders’ (as defined
below) rights as



 




     


     


    

shareholders (including the right to receive
further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the
approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in
the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors
and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agrees to not propose any amendment
to the Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s
initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the
required time period set forth in the Charter or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights
or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their
Offering Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay
its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.


 


The Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it, he or she
has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of the Company as
a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares held by it, him or her (which, for the avoidance of doubt,
shall include any monies deposited in or loans made to the Trust Account for purposes of extending the period of time to consummate a
Business Combination). The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any Ordinary Shares held by it, him or her,
if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with (a) the consummation of a Business Combination, including,
without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination, or (b) a
shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow
redemption in connection with Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company has
not consummated a Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 21 months, as may be extended
by the Company in accordance with its Charter) or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights
or pre-initial Business Combination activity or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Offering Shares (although
the Sponsor, the Insiders and their respective affiliates shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering
Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter).


 


		3.	Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b) below, during the period commencing on the effective date of the
Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Representative, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise
dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease
a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to, any Units, Ordinary Shares
(including, but not limited to, Founder Shares), Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary
Shares owned by it, him or her, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any
of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, Ordinary Shares (including, but not limited to, Founder Shares), Warrants or any
securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction
is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction
specified in clause (i) or (ii); provided, however, that the foregoing does not apply to the forfeiture of any Founder Shares, if
applicable, pursuant to their terms or any transfer of Founder Shares to any current or future independent director of the company (as
long as such current or future independent director transferee is subject to this Letter Agreement or executes an agreement substantially
identical to the terms of this Letter Agreement, as applicable to directors and officers at the time of such transfer;



 




    2 


     


    

and as long as, to the extent any Section
16 reporting obligation is triggered as a result of such transfer, any related Section 16 filing includes a practical explanation as to
the nature of the transfer). The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if a release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer
not for consideration and the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the
extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.


 


		4.	In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination
within the time period set forth in the Charter, the Sponsor (the “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and
all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened)
to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered or products sold to
the Company or (ii) any prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality
or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement (a “Target”); provided, however,
that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor (x) shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims
by a third party or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Offering Share
and (ii) the actual amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if
less than $10.20 per Offering Share is then held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable,
(y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party or a Target which executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in
the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and (z) shall not apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity
of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Indemnitor shall
have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following
written receipt of notice of the claim to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such
defense.



 


		5.	Unless agreed otherwise in writing between the Company and an Insider, to the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment
option to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 Units within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the
Prospectus), the Initial Shareholders agree to forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares, to be split pro rata between them based
on the number of Founder Shares they hold upon the consummation of the Public Offering, equal to 562,500 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the
numerator of which is 2,250,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option,
and (ii) the denominator of which is 2,250,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not
exercised in full by the Underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent an aggregate of 20% of the Company’s issued and
outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares after the Public Offering (not including Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Private
Placement Warrants (as defined below)). The Initial Shareholders further agree that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering
is increased or decreased, the Company will purchase or sell Units or effect a share repurchase or share capitalization, as applicable,
immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of the Initial Shareholders prior
to the Public Offering at 20% of its issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares upon the consummation of the Public Offering. In connection
with such increase or decrease in the size of the Public Offering, then (A) the references to 2,250,000 in the numerator and denominator
of the formula in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the number of Units issued in the
Public Offering and (B) the reference to 562,500 in the formula set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be adjusted
to such number of Founder Shares that the Initial Shareholders would have to surrender to the Company in order for the Initial Shareholders
to hold an aggregate of 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares after the Public Offering (not
including Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants or Private Placement Warrants).

		6.	The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured
in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or an Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7(a), 7(b) and 9,
as applicable, of this Letter Agreement, (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching
party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event
of such breach.



 


		7.	(a) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or any Class A Ordinary Shares
issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business
Combination and (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A Ordinary
Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and other similar transactions) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s
initial Business Combination or (y) the date following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination on which
the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s Public
Shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder
Shares Lock-up Period”).



 


(b) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she
shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or any Class A Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion
of the Private Placement Warrants), until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination (the “Private Placement Warrants
Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up Periods”).


 


(c) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs
7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Private
Placement Warrants that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph
7(c)), are permitted (a) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Company’s
officers or directors, any affiliate of the Sponsor or to any member of the Sponsor or any of their affiliates; (b) in the case of
an individual, as a gift to such person’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such person’s
immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws
of descent and distribution upon death of such person; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection
with the consummation of an initial Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased;
(f) by virtue of the laws of the Cayman Islands or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the
Sponsor; (g) to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the completion of the Business Combination; (h) in the event
of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination or (i) in the event of the Company’s
liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having
the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Company’s completion
of an initial Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (f), these permitted
transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions herein and the other
restrictions contained in this Agreement (including provisions relating to voting, the Trust Account and liquidating distributions).
