	 	Re:	Initial Public Offering


 


Gentlemen:


 


This letter is being delivered
to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between
Newbury Street Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. as
representative (the “Representative”) of the several Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”),
relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Units”),
each comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
and one-half of one warrant, each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (each, a “Warrant”).
Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 13 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, 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. If the Company solicits
approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him,
her, or it, whether acquired before, in, or after the IPO, in favor of such Business Combination.


 


2. (a) In the event that the
Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”),
the undersigned will, as promptly as possible, cause the Company to pay in cash to the holders of IPO Shares a per-share price equal to
the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account net of interest released to
the Company as permitted pursuant to the Trust Agreement, divided by the number of then outstanding IPO Shares.


 


(b) The undersigned hereby
waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account (“Claim”)
with respect to the shares of Founders’ Common Stock and Private Shares owned by the undersigned 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 Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the
Trust Account with respect to any Warrants, all rights of which will terminate on the Company’s liquidation.


 


(c) In the event of the liquidation
of the Trust Account, Newbury Street Acquisition Sponsor LLC (“Sponsor”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company for any debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services
rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Company, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debt or obligation does
not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below $10.00 per share; provided that such indemnity shall not apply (i) if such vendor
or prospective target business executed an agreement waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any
monies held in the Trust Account, or (ii) 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 (the “Securities Act”).


 






    


    



    

 


3. The undersigned acknowledges
and agrees that prior to entering into a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with any Insiders of the Company
or their affiliates, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested independent directors and the
Company must obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation
opinions, that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view.


 


4. Neither the undersigned
nor any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation, finder fee or other cash payment
prior to, or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that the Company shall
be allowed to make the payments set forth in the Registration Statement under the caption “Prospectus Summary – The Offering
 – Limited payments to insiders.”


  


5. (a) The undersigned will
place into escrow all shares of Founders’ Common Stock owned by him/her/it pursuant to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement which
the Company will enter into with the holders of the Founders’ Common Stock and an escrow agent.


 


(b) The undersigned agrees
that until after the Company consummates a Business Combination, all Private Securities owned by him/her/it will be subject to the transfer
restrictions described in the Subscription Agreement relating to the undersigned’s Private Securities.


 


6. (a) In order to minimize
potential conflicts of interest that may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, the undersigned hereby agrees that until the earliest
of the Company’s initial Business Combination or liquidation or the undersigned if an officer and/or director of the Company, ceases
to be an officer or director, the undersigned shall present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity,
any suitable target business, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations the undersigned might have.


 


(b) Reserved.


 


(c) The undersigned hereby
agrees and acknowledges that (i) each of the Underwriters and the Company may be irreparably injured in the event of a breach of any of
the obligations contained in this letter, (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.
