    Ladies
      and Gentlemen:

    


    This
      letter is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement
      (the “Underwriting
      Agreement”)
      entered into by and among ASM Acquisition Company Limited, an exempted company
      organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”),
      and
      UBS Securities LLC as the representative (the “Representative”)
      of the
      underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”),
      relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”)
      of the
      Company’s units (the “Units”),
      each
      composed of one of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share
      (the “Ordinary
      Shares”),
      and
      one warrant, which is exercisable for one Ordinary Share (the “Warrants”).
      Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 18
      hereof.

    


    In
      order
      to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting
      Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the benefit that
      such IPO will confer upon the undersigned officer and/or director or advisor
      of
      the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
      sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees
      with
      the Company as follows:

    


    1. In
      the
      event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24
      months (or 36 months if the Extended Period is approved by the Company’s
      shareholders) from the consummation of the IPO, the undersigned will take all
      reasonable actions within his or her power to (a) cause the Trust Account to
      be
      liquidated and distributed to the holders of the Ordinary Shares underlying
      the
      Units issued in the IPO (the “IPO
      Shares”)
      as
      promptly as practicable and (b) cause the Company to voluntarily wind-up and
      liquidate as promptly as practicable (the earliest date on which the conditions
      in clauses (a) and (b) are both satisfied being the “Liquidation
      Date”).
      

    


    2. Neither
      the undersigned nor any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to
      receive, and no such person will accept, any finder’s fee, consulting fee,
      reimbursement or cash payment or any other form of compensation, including
      the
      issuance of the Company’s securities, from the Company for services rendered to
      the Company prior to or in connection with the consummation of a Business
      Combination, other than (subject to the following sentence) (a) repayment
      of those certain Promissory Notes in the amount of $125,000 and $250,000 made
      to
      the Company by ASM SPAC(1) Limited, a British Virgin Islands incorporated
      company, to cover offering expenses; (b) a payment of an aggregate of $7,500
      per
      month to Argyle Street Management Limited, a British Virgin Islands incorporated
      company, for office space, administrative services and secretarial support;
      (c) reimbursement for any reasonably incurred out-of-pocket expenses
      related to identifying, investigating and consummating a Business
      Combination; (d) other expenses or advances that the Company is permitted to
      incur; or (e) compensation or fees that may be received for any services
      provided following such Business Combination. The undersigned acknowledges
      that
      the Company’s Audit Committee (or the Company’s Board of Directors, with any
      interested director abstaining from such review and approval, in the case of
      a
      director who is a member of the Company’s Audit Committee) will review and
      approve all payments made to the undersigned, the Company’s Existing Holders,
      Founders, officers, directors and advisors and the Company’s or their
      affiliates, other than the payments described in clauses (a) and (b) of the
      immediately preceding sentence.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    3. The
      undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not enter into
      any transaction with any of the Company’s officers, directors or advisors or any
      of the Company’s or their respective affiliates, including loans by the
      Company’s officers, directors and advisors and any forgiveness of loans,
      (a) without the prior approval by a majority of the Company’s
      disinterested, “independent” (as defined below) directors or, in the event the
      Company has no “independent” directors, the members of the Company’s Board of
      Directors who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who
      had
      access, at the Company’s expense, to the Company’s attorneys or independent
      legal counsel, and (b) unless the Company’s disinterested, “independent”
directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable
      to
      the Company than those that would be available to the Company with respect
      to
      such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. As used herein “independent”
means
      a
      director who qualifies as (a) an “independent director” under
      Section 121 of the American Stock Exchange’s AMEX Company Guide and
      (b) independent under Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
      1934, as amended. 

    


    4. The
      undersigned is not obligated to present to the Company any potential business
      combination and may become involved as a principal (without involving the
      Company) or agent for a third party with respect to potential business
      combinations that otherwise would be appropriate for the Company, other
      than:

    


    (a) any
      business combination or opportunity that is brought to the attention of the
      undersigned solely in his capacity as a director of the Company; or

    


    (b) any
      business combination or opportunity that is identified by the undersigned solely
      through the disclosure of information by or on behalf of the
      Company.

    


    The
      undersigned agrees not to become affiliated with a blank check company other
      than the Company that may seek a Target Business until the earlier of the
      consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, the liquidation of the
      Company or until such time as the undersigned ceases to be an officer or
      director of the Company.

    


    5. The
      undersigned acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company will not (a) consummate
      a Business Combination with a Target Business that is either (x) a portfolio
      company of, or has otherwise received a financial investment from, the Founders
      or their affiliates, or (y) affiliated with the Founders or the Company’s
      directors, officers or advisors, or (b) consummate a Business Combination with
      any Underwriter, or IPO selling group member, or any of their affiliates,
      unless, in each case, the Company obtains an opinion from an unaffiliated,
      independent investment banking firm which is a member of the Financial Industry
      Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)
      that a
      Business Combination with such Target Business is fair to the Company’s
      shareholders from a financial point of view; and (ii) if, in connection with
      a
      Business Combination, any entity or entities with which the Company’s officers,
      directors or advisors are affiliated purchases a minority interest in the Target
      Business, the entity or entities affiliated with such officers, directors and/or
      advisors will be required to pay the same price per share or unit for their
      interest in the Target Business as the Company pays, the other terms of the
      investment of such affiliated entity or entities will be required to be no
      more
      favorable than the terms of the Company’s investment and such investment will
      require the prior approval by a majority of the Company’s disinterested,
“independent” directors.

    6. The
      undersigned will escrow any and all of (A) the Founders’ Units, Founders’
Shares and Founders’ Warrants (including the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon
      the exercise of the Founders’ Warrants) beneficially owned by him or her until
      one year after the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination and
      (B)
      the Insider Warrants (including the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise
      of the Insider Warrants) beneficially owned by him or her until the consummation
      by the Company of a Business Combination subject to the terms of an Escrow
      Agreement which the Company will enter into with the Founders and the Existing
      Holders and an escrow agent acceptable to the Company.

    


    7. The
      undersigned agrees not to resign as Director until the earlier of the
      consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the Liquidation
      Date,
      unless
      he
      or she becomes disabled by virtue of ill health or other disability and is
      unable to perform substantially and continuously his or her duties. The

      shareholder approval to extend the amount of time the Company has to consummate

      modified or amended under any circumstances.

    


    9. The
      undersigned has full right and power, without violating any agreement by which
      he or she is bound (including, without limitation, any non-competition or

      as applicable; and

    


    (b) vote
      all

    In
      addition, the undersigned waives his or her right to exercise redemption rights
      with respect to any Ordinary Shares owned or to be owned by the undersigned,
      directly or indirectly, and agrees that he or she will not seek redemption
      with
      respect to such shares in connection with any vote to approve the Extended
      Period or a Business Combination.

    


    11. The
      undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any
      kind in or to (i) any and all of the quarterly distributions (the “Quarterly
      Distributions”)
      required by the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
      Association and described in the Company’s final prospectus relating to the IPO
      and (ii) any distributions of the Trust Account, or to any other amounts
      distributed in connection with a liquidating distribution of the Company, in
      each case, with respect to his or her Founders’ Shares and the Ordinary Shares
      underlying the Founders’ Warrants or the Insider Warrants (any “Claim”),
      and
      hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result
      of,
      or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not
      seek recourse against the Company or the Trust Account for any reason
      whatsoever; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any IPO Shares
      acquired by the undersigned. The undersigned hereby agrees that the Company
      shall be entitled to reimbursement from the undersigned for any Quarterly
      Distribution, any distribution of the Trust Account or any other amounts
      distributed by the Company in connection with a liquidating distribution
      received by the undersigned with respect to his or her Founders’ Shares or the
      Ordinary Shares underlying the Founders’ Warrants or the Insider
      Warrants.

    


    12. The
      undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, jointly and
      severally with ASM SPAC(1) Limited and the other Founders, against any and
      all
      losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses 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, or any claim whatsoever) (collectively, “Damages”)
      to
      which the Company may become subject, but only if, and to the extent (a) the
      claims reduce the amounts in the Trust Account available for payment to holders
      of the IPO Shares in the event of a liquidation of the Trust Account and (b)
      the
      claims are made (i) by a vendor for services rendered, or products sold, to
      the
      Company; (ii) by a third party with which the Company enters into a contractual
      relationship following consummation of the IPO; or (iii) by a prospective Target
      Business arising out of any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the
      Company, provided that such indemnity shall not apply to any amounts claimed
      owed to a third party who executed a valid and legally enforceable waiver of
      any
      right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to the Trust Account, or
      as to
      any claims under the Company’s obligation to indemnify the Underwriters against
      certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933,
      as
      amended. In the case of the Company’s dissolution and liquidation, the
      undersigned understands that the Company expects that all costs and expenses
      associated with implementing the Company’s plan of distribution, as well as
      payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the
      $50,000 of proceeds from the IPO held outside the Trust Account and from the
      up
      to $2.5 million in interest income on the balance of the Trust Account that
      will
      be released to the Company to fund its working capital and general corporate
      requirements. Should the aforementioned funds not be sufficient, the undersigned
      hereby agrees to reimburse the Company for its out-of-pocket costs associated
      with its dissolution and liquidation, excluding any special, indirect or
      consequential costs, such as litigation, pertaining to the dissolution and
      liquidation. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to the Company
      that
      it is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Regulation D under
      the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

    13. This
      letter agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and such person’s
      respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns. This letter
      agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the consummation of a Business
      Combination and (b) the Liquidation Date; provided that such termination shall
      not relieve the undersigned from liability for any breach of this agreement
      prior to its termination.

    


    14. The
      undersigned authorizes any employer, financial institution, or consumer credit
      reporting agency to release to the Underwriters and its legal representatives
      or
      agents (including any investigative search firm retained by the Underwriters)
      any information they may have about the undersigned’s background and finances
      (“Information”).
      Neither the Underwriters nor its agents shall be violating the undersigned’s
      right of privacy in any manner in requesting and obtaining the Information
      and
      the undersigned hereby releases them from liability for any damage whatsoever
      in
      that connection.

    


    15. The
      undersigned acknowledges and understands that the Company and the Underwriters
      will rely upon the agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein
      in proceeding with the IPO. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to render
      the Underwriters a representative of, or a fiduciary with respect to, the
      Company, its shareholders, or any creditor or vendor of the Company with respect
      to the subject matter hereof.

    


    16. This
      letter agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and construed in
      accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts formed
      and to be performed entirely within the State of New York, without regard to
      the
      conflicts of law provisions thereof to the extent such principles or rules
      would
      require or permit the application of the laws of another
      jurisdiction.

    


    17. No
      term
      or provision of this letter agreement may be amended, changed, waived, altered
      or modified except by written instrument executed and delivered by the party
      against whom such amendment, change, waiver, alteration or modification is
      to be
      enforced.
