 Gentlemen: 
 This letter is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into
by and between Victory Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Citigroup Global Markets 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

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 (i) vote all shares of Founders’ Common Stock owned by him, her or it in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares and (ii) vote all other shares of the
Company’s Common Stock that may be acquired by him, her or it in the IPO, any private placement or in the aftermarket in favor of such Business Combination. 







 2. In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the

(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 Fund 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 Fund for any reason whatsoever. 
 3. 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 Company or until such time as the undersigned ceases to be a director or officer of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual
obligations the undersigned might have. 
 4. 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. 
 5. Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of

the undersigned shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business Combination. 
 6. 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. 
 7. The undersigned will escrow all of his shares of Founders’ Common Stock until one year after the consummation by the Company of a Business
Combination subject to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter into with the undersigned and an escrow agent acceptable to the Company.

Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. The undersigned’s biographical information furnished to the Company and Citigroup and attached hereto as Exhibit A is true and accurate in all respects, does not omit any
