	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 among Valor Latitude Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”),
BofA Securities, Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc., as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several
underwriters (each, an “Underwriter” and collectively, the “Underwriters”),
relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”), of up to 23,000,000
of the Company’s units (including up to 3,000,000 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-third 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 Valor Latitude LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability corporation (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 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
24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance
with the Company’s 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 our
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. 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 our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company has not consummated
a Business Combination within the 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 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.	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 Representatives, (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).



 


		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



 




    2 


    	 



    

Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 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 $10.00 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.	To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 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 750,000 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 3,000,000
minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator
of which is 3,000,000. 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 3,000,000 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 Class
A Ordinary Shares included in the Units issued in the Public Offering and (B) the reference to 750,000 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),
and 7(b), 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 closing price of the Class A Ordinary
Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and
the like) 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 on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange,
reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s Public Shareholders having the right to
exchange their shares of Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up
Period”).



 




    3 


    	 



    

(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 underlying 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 members of the Sponsor or any of their affiliates;
(b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary
of which is a member of such individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable organization;
(c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such individual; (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) in the event of the Company’s
liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; (g) by virtue of the laws of the Cayman Islands or
the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor; or (h) 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 (e)
or (g), 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).


 


		8.	The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that it, he or she has never been suspended or expelled from membership
in any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended
or revoked. Each Insider’s biographical information furnished to the Company (including any such information included in
the Prospectus) is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information with respect to the Insider’s
background. The Sponsor and each Insider’s questionnaire furnished to the Company is true and accurate in all respects. The
Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that: it, he or she is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action for,
any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to the offering
of securities in any jurisdiction; it, he or she has never been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime (i) involving
fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any
dealings in any securities and it, he or she is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding.



 


		9.	Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any officer, nor any affiliate of the Sponsor or any officer,
nor any director of the Company, shall receive from the Company any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, non-cash
payments, monies in respect of any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection with any services rendered
in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction
that it is), other than the following, none of which will be made from the proceeds held in the Trust Account prior to the completion
of the initial Business Combination: repayment of a loan and advances up to an aggregate of $250,000 made to the Company by the
Sponsor; payment to the Sponsor for certain office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to
the Company and other expenses and obligations of the Sponsor as may be reasonably required by the Company for a total up to $10,000
per month; reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing
an initial Business Combination, and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by the



 




    4 


    	 



    

Company from time to time, made by the Sponsor or an
affiliate of the Sponsor or any of the Company’s officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an
intended initial Business Combination, provided, that, if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination, a portion
of the working capital held outside the Trust Account may be used by the Company to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds
from the Trust Account are used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price
of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including
as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.


 


		10.	The Sponsor and each Insider has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it is bound (including, without
limitation, any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter
Agreement and, as applicable, to serve as an officer and/or director on the board of directors of the Company and hereby consents
to being named in the Prospectus as an officer and/or director of the Company.



 


		11.	As used herein, (i) “Business Combination” shall mean a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses; (ii) “Ordinary

if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the Underwriters); (iv) “Initial Shareholders” shall
mean the Sponsor and any Insider that holds Founder Shares; (v) “Private Placement Warrants” shall mean
the 4,000,000 warrants (or 4,400,000 warrants
if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) that the Sponsor and Phoenix SPAC Holdco, LLC (“Phoenix”)
have agreed to purchase for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000 (or $6,600,000
if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), or $1.50 per warrant, in a private
placement that shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering; (vi) “Public Shareholders”
shall mean the holders of securities issued in the Public Offering; (vii) “Trust Account” shall mean

the coverage available pursuant to such policy or policies for any of the Company’s directors or officers.



 


		13.	This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral,
to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Letter Agreement
may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except
by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.



 


		14.	No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual

    5 


    	 



    

any interest or title to the purported assignee. This
Letter Agreement shall be binding on the Sponsor and each Insider and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted

The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to,
this Letter Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of New York City, in the State of New York, and irrevocably submit
to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive
jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.



 


		19.	Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Letter Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested),
by hand delivery or facsimile transmission.



 


		20.	This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Lock-up Periods or (ii) the liquidation
