 Re: Initial Public Offering 
  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 The undersigned director and officer of Good Harbor Partners Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), and Chairman of
Good Harbor Consulting, LLC (“GHC”), a security holder of the Company, in consideration of HCFP/Brenner Securities LLC’s (“Brenner”) willingness to underwrite an initial public offering of the securities of the Company (the
“IPO”) and embarking on the IPO process, hereby agrees as follows (certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof): 
  
 1. In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the effective date (“Effective Date”) of the
registration statement relating to the IPO (or 24 months under the circumstances described in the prospectus relating to the IPO), the undersigned will take all reasonable actions within his power to (i) cause the Trust Fund to be liquidated and
distributed to the holders of the shares of Class B common stock sold in the Company’s IPO and (ii) liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable. The undersigned waives, and shall cause GHC to waive, any and all right, title, interest or claim
of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Fund as a result of such liquidation with respect to GHC’s Insider Securities (each a “Claim”) and hereby waives, and shall cause GHC to waive, any Claim he or it 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 Fund for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, severally, pro
rata with John Tritak, Ralph Sheridan, Jack Mallon, Thomas J. Colatosti, and Brian Stafford (together with the undersigned the “Indemnifiers”), based on his percentage of Insider Securities directly or indirectly beneficially owned by the
Indemnifiers prior to the IPO, against any and all loss, liability, claims, 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, or any claim whatsoever) which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by any vendor or other person who is owed money by the Company for services rendered or products sold, or by any target
business, only in the event that such vendor, other person or target business did not execute an agreement waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any amounts held in the Trust Fund, and only to the extent necessary to
ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount in the Trust Fund.

2. In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to the Company
for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, any suitable opportunity to acquire an operating business, until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, the liquidation of the Trust Fund
or until such time as the undersigned ceases to be a director of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary obligations the undersigned might have. 
  
 3. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any Business Combination which involves a company which is affiliated with
any of the Insiders unless the Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to Brenner that the business combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial perspective. 

 
 4. Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned,
nor any affiliate (“Affiliate”) of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, prior to, or for services they rendered in order to
effectuate, the Business Combination; provided that commencing on the Effective Date, Good Harbor Consulting, LLC (“GHC”), an Affiliate of the undersigned, shall be allowed to charge to the Company an allocable share of GHC’s
overhead, up to $7,500 per month to compensate GHC for the Company’s use of GHC’s offices, utilities and personnel. The undersigned shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with seeking and consummating a Business Combination. 
  
 5. Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, or any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s fee or any other compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the
family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business Combination. 
  
 6. The undersigned agrees not to cause GHC to sell any of its Insider Securities until the Company’s completion of a Business Combination.

  
 7. The undersigned has agreed to vote any shares of Class B
common stock it holds or hereafter acquires in favor of any proposed Business Combination approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. 
  
 8. The undersigned agrees to be Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business
Combination or the distribution of the Trust Fund. The undersigned’s biographical information furnished to the Company and Brenner and attached hereto as Exhibit A is true and accurate in all respects, does not omit any material information
with respect to the undersigned’s background and contains all of the information required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 401 of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The undersigned’s Questionnaire furnished to
