	 	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 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
of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one 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 (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
effective date (“Effective Date”) of the registration statement relating to the IPO, the undersigned will, as promptly as possible, (i) cause the Trust Fund 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 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, nor any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation for services rendered to the Company prior to or in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that
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. 







 8. The undersigned agrees to be a Director of the Company until the earlier of the consummation by the
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
material information with respect to the undersigned’s background and contains all of the information required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 401 of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The undersigned’s
NASD Questionnaire furnished to the Company and Citigroup and annexed as Exhibit B hereto is true and accurate in all respects. The undersigned represents and warrants that: 
 (a) he 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;

 (c) he has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or commodities exchange or association or

 9. The undersigned has full right and power, without
violating any agreement by which he is bound, to enter into this letter agreement and to serve as a Director of the Company. 
 10. The
undersigned hereby waives his right to exercise conversion rights with respect to any shares of the Company’s common stock owned or to be owned by the undersigned, directly or indirectly, and agrees that he will not seek conversion with respect
to such shares in connection with any vote to approve a Business Combination. 
 11. The undersigned hereby agrees to not propose, or vote in
favor of, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to extend the period of time in which the Company must consummate a Business Combination prior to its liquidation. Should such a proposal be put before stockholders, the
undersigned hereby agrees to vote against such proposal. This paragraph may not be modified or amended under any circumstances. 
 12. This
letter agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another
jurisdiction. The undersigned hereby (i) agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against him arising out of or relating in any way to this letter agreement (a “Proceeding”) shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State
of New York of the United States 








 
of America for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive, (ii) waives any
objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum and (iii) irrevocably agrees to appoint Graubard Miller as agent for the service of process in the State of New York to receive, for the undersigned
and on his behalf, service of process in any Proceeding. If for any reason such agent is unable to act as such, the undersigned will promptly notify the Company and Citigroup and appoint a substitute agent acceptable to each of the Company and
Citigroup within 30 days and nothing in this letter will affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 13. As used herein, (i) a “Business Combination” shall mean a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business; (ii) “Insiders” shall mean all

the subject matter hereof. 
 15. This letter agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and such person’s respective successors,
heirs, personal representatives and assigns. This letter agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination and (ii) the liquidation of the Company; provided, that such termination shall not
relieve the undersigned from liability from any breach of this agreement prior to its termination.
