		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
Capitol Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representatives (the “Representatives”) 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 as a stockholder 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.          If
the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all shares beneficially
owned by him, her or it, whether acquired before, in or after the IPO, in favor of such Business Combination.


 



    	 



    	 



    

 


2.          In
the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the IPO, or 24 months
from the closing of the IPO if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for
a Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the IPO but has not completed the Business Combination within such
21-month period, the undersigned will, as promptly as possible, (i) cause the Trust Account to be liquidated and distributed to
the holders of IPO Shares and (ii) cause the Company to liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable. The undersigned hereby waives
any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account and any remaining net assets
of the Company as a result of such liquidation with respect to his shares of Founders’ Common Stock (“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 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.


 


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, including (i) an entity that is either a portfolio company, or has otherwise
received a material financial investment from, any private equity fund or investment company (or an affiliate thereof) that is
affiliated with any of the foregoing, (ii) an entity in which any of the foregoing or their affiliates are currently passive investors,
(iii) an entity in which any of the foregoing or their affiliates are currently officers or directors or (iv) an entity in which
any of the foregoing or their affiliates are currently invested through an investment vehicle controlled by them, 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 which is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority that such Business
Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view.


 


4.          Neither
the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive
and will not accept any compensation or other cash payment prior to, or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation
of the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned and any affiliate of the undersigned shall be entitled
to reimbursement from the Company for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with identifying, investigating and consummating
a Business Combination.


 


5.          Neither
the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor 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.          (a)          The
undersigned will place into escrow all of his shares of Founders’ Common Stock, portions of which shall be subject to forfeiture
in the event the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option in full or in part or if the price of the Corporation’s
shares of common stock does not reach a certain price trigger, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement which the Company
will enter into with the undersigned and an escrow agent.


 


(b)          
The undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, offer,
sell, contract to sell, pledge, hedge, or otherwise dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably
be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement
or otherwise) by the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate
of the undersigned), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of, 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, and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Units, shares of Common Stock,
Warrants of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or publicly
announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period of 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement.


 


(c)          The
undersigned agrees that until the Company consummates a Business Combination, the undersigned’s Sponsors’ Warrants
will be subject to the transfer restrictions described in the Sponsor Warrants Purchase Agreement relating to the undersigned’s
Sponsors’ Warrants.


 


(d)          The
undersigned acknowledges and agrees that if, in order to consummate any Business Combination, the holders of shares of Founders’
Common Stock or Sponsors’ Warrants are required to contribute back to the capital of the Company a portion of any such securities
to be cancelled by the Company, the undersigned will contribute back to the capital of the Company, at no cost, a proportionate
number of shares of Founders’ Common Stock or Sponsors’ Warrants, as applicable, pro rata with the other holders of
shares of Founders’ Common Stock or Sponsors’ Warrants, as applicable.


 


7.          (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, the undersigned shall present to the
Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable business opportunity, subject to any pre-existing
fiduciary or contractual obligations the undersigned might have.


 


(b)          The
undersigned has agreed not to participate in the formation of, or become an officer or director of, any blank check company until

an initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the IPO, or 24 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company
has executed a letter of intent or agreement in principle for a Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the IPO
but has not completed the Business Combination within such 21-month period.
