		Re:	Initial Public Offering



 


Gentlemen:


 


This letter (this “Letter Agreement”)
is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”)
entered into or proposed to be entered into by and between Terrapin 3 Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as the underwriter (the “Underwriter”), relating to an underwritten
initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of 18,500,000 of the Company’s units (the “Units”),
each comprised of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A
Common Stock”), and one warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof
to purchase one-half of one share of the Class A Common Stock at a price of $5.75 per half share, subject to adjustment. The Units
shall 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
shall apply to have the Units listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph
12 hereof.


 


In order to induce the Company and the Underwriter
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 Apple Orange LLC, Noyac Path LLC, Periscope, LLC (together
the “Terrapin Sponsors”), and MIHI LLC (together with the Terrapin Sponsors and MIHI LLC, the “Sponsors”)
and each of the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a director or member of the Company’s management team or an affiliate
thereof (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees
with the Company as follows:


 


1.           Each
Sponsor and each Insider agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection
with such proposed Business Combination, it or he shall vote all Founder Shares and any shares acquired by it or him in the Public
Offering or the secondary public market in favor of such proposed Business Combination.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


2.           Each
Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination (as defined
in the Underwriting Agreement) within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s
stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Sponsors and Insiders
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 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Class A Common Stock 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, including interest income (net of taxes payable and any amounts
released to the Company to fund working capital requirements and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided
by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights
as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii)
as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders
and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under
Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. Each Sponsor and each Insider agrees
to not propose any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance
or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination
within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, unless the Company provides its public stockholders with the opportunity
to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a price per share, payable in cash, equal
to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest income (net of taxes payable and any amounts released
to the Company to fund working capital requirements), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.


 


Each Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it or he 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 prior to the Business Combination with respect to the Founder Shares. The Sponsor
and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of the Class A Common Stock held by it or him, if any, any redemption
rights it or he may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such
rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer
made by the Company to purchase shares of the Class A Common Stock (although each Sponsor and Insider shall be entitled to redemption
and liquidation rights with respect to any shares of the Class A Common Stock (other than Founder Shares) it or they hold if the
Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering.


 


3.           Subject
to the exceptions set forth in Section 7(c) below, during the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement
and ending 180 days after such date, each Sponsor and each Insider shall not (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, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect
to any Units, shares of either Class A or Class F Common Stock, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or
exchangeable for, shares of either Class A or Class F Common Stock owned by it, if any, (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, shares of either Class
A or Class F Common Stock, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of either Class
A or Class F Common Stock owned by it, if any, 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, including the filing of a registration statement
specified in clause (i) or (ii). Each of the Insiders and the Sponsors acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date
of any release or waiver, of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 3, other than pursuant to the exceptions contained in
Section 7(c) below, the Company shall announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at
least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted shall only be effective
two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (i) the
release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (ii) the transferee has agreed in writing to
be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect
at the time of the transfer.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


4.             In
the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, Nathan Leight, Sanjay Arora and Guy Barudin (together, the “Indemnitors”)
agree to jointly and severally 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, or any claim whatsoever) 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) a prospective target
business with which the Company has entered into an acquisition agreement (a “Target”); provided,
however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitors shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure
that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent public accountants) or products
sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per share of the Offering
Shares remaining outstanding and (ii) such lesser amount per share of the Offering Shares remaining outstanding held in the Trust
Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account other than due
to the failure to obtain such waiver, in each case, net of the amount of interest income (net of taxes payable and any amounts
released to us to fund working capital requirements), and provided, further, that only if such third party or Target has not executed
an agreement waiving claims against and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account whether or not such agreement is enforceable.
In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Indemnitors shall not be
responsible for any liability as a result of any such third party claims. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, such indemnification
of the Company by the Indemnitors shall not apply as to any claims under the Company’s obligation to indemnify the Underwriter
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Indemnitors 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 Indemnitors, the Indemnitors notify the Company in writing that the Indemnitors shall
undertake such defense.


 


5.             To
the extent that the Underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,775,000 Units, the Sponsors
and Insiders (other than Messrs. Kagan, Brokaw and Mendelson) agree that they shall return to the Company for cancellation, at
no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 693,750 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 2,775,000
minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriter upon the exercise of its over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator
of which is 2,775,000. The Sponsors and Insiders (other than Messrs. Kagan, Brokaw and Mendelson) further agree that to the extent
that (a) the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased and (b) the Sponsors and Insiders (other than Messrs. Kagan,
Brokaw and Mendelson) have either purchased or sold shares of Class F Common Stock or an adjustment to the number of Founder Shares
has been effected by way of a stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, contribution back to capital or otherwise, in each
case in connection with such increase or decrease in the size of the Public Offering, then (A) the references to 2,775,000 in the
numerator and denominator of the formula in the immediately preceding sentence shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the
number of shares included in the Units issued in the Public Offering and (B) the reference to 693,750 in the formula set forth
in the immediately preceding sentence shall be adjusted to such number of shares of Class F Common Stock that the Sponsors and
Insiders (other than Messrs. Kagan, Brokaw and Mendelson) would have to return to the Company in order to hold (with all of the
pre-offering stockholders) an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock after the Public
Offering. For purposes of clarification, nothing in this paragraph will impact the number of shares of Class F Common Stock
purchased by MIHI LLC as part of the Forward Purchase Contract (defined below).


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


6.(a)        Each
of the Terrapin Sponsors and each Insider (other than the MIHI LLC designee) hereby agrees not to participate in the formation
of, or become an officer or director of, another blank check company that is seeking an initial business combination with total
consideration to the seller less than $1.25 billion until the Company has entered into a definitive agreement regarding the initial
Business Combination or the Company has failed to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of
the Public Offering. MIHI LLC and MIHI LLC’s director nominee hereby agree not to participate in the formation of or investment
in, or become an officer or director of, any other blank check company that is seeking equity proceeds between $175 million and
$350 million until 3 months after the closing of the Public Offering.


 


(b)           Each
of Each Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) each of the Underwriter and the Company would be irreparably
injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or Insider of his or its applicable obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6(a), 7(a), 7(b), 9 and 10 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)        Each
Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it or he shall not Transfer any Founder Shares held by it or him, if any, until the earlier
of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) the date following the completion of a Business Combination
on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s
stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder
Shares Lock-up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A Common
Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stocks 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, the Founder Shares will be released from the Founder Shares Lock-Up.


 


(b)            The
Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it or he shall not effectuate any Transfer of Private Placement Warrants or Class A Common
Stock underlying such warrants, until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


(c)            Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in paragraphs 3 and 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and
shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants are permitted (a) to the Company’s officers or directors,
any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors or any affiliates of the Sponsors and Insiders;
(b) in the case of an individual, by a gift to a member of one of the members of the individual’s immediate family or to
a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or
to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the
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 the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were
originally purchased; (f) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of a Business Combination; (g)
by virtue of the laws of Delaware or any of the Sponsors’ limited liability company operating agreements upon dissolution
of such Sponsor; or (h) in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which
results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash,
securities or other property subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses
(a) through (e) and (g), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer
restrictions.

at least 4,000,000 Units at a price per Unit of $10.00 per Unit and 1,000,000 Founders Shares at the same purchase price as the

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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an affiliate of MIHI LLC may engage in financial advisory, capital
raising or other related advisory services for the Company.


 


11.           Each
Sponsor and each Insider has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it is bound (including, without limitation,
