Rights: In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company and the Purchasers shall enter into an agreement (the
"Registration Rights Agreement") granting the Purchasers registration rights with respect to Sponsors' Warrants and the Shares underlying the Sponsors'
Warrants. 

Section 2.    Representations and Warranties of the Company.    

        As
a material inducement to the Purchasers to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Sponsors' Warrants, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers (which
representations and warranties shall survive the Closing Date) that: 

        A.    Organization
and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is
qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets
of the Company. The Company possesses all requisite corporate power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement. 

        B.    Authorization;
No Breach. 

          (i)  The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the Sponsors' Warrants have been duly authorized by the Company as of the Closing
Date. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Warrant Agreement, and upon issuance in accordance with, and payment
pursuant to, the terms of the Warrant Agreement and this Agreement, the Sponsors' Warrants, constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms as of the Closing Date. 

         (ii)  The
execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the Sponsors' Warrants, the sale and issuance of the Sponsors' Warrants, the
issuance of the Shares of
common stock upon exercise of the Sponsors' Warrants and the fulfillment of and compliance with the respective terms hereof and thereof by the Company, do not and will not as of the Closing Date

subject, except for any filings required after the date hereof under federal or state securities laws. 

        C.    Title
to Securities. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof and the Warrant Agreement, the Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Sponsors' Warrants will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof and the Warrant Agreement, the Purchasers

2

 

Sponsors'
Warrants and the Shares issuable upon exercise of such Sponsors' Warrants, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, other than (i) transfer restrictions
hereunder and under the other agreements contemplated hereby, (ii) transfer restrictions under federal and state securities laws, and (iii) liens, claims or encumbrances imposed due to
the actions of the applicable Purchaser. 

        D.    Governmental

execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or the Warrant Agreement, or the consummation by the Company of any other transactions contemplated hereby. 

Section 3.    Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.    

        As
a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and issue and sell the Sponsors' Warrants to the Purchasers, the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, hereby
represent and warrant to the Company (which representations and warranties shall survive the Closing Date) that: 

        A.    Capacity
and State Law Compliance. If the Purchaser (i) is not a natural person, it is validly organized and legally existing in the jurisdiction of its
organization with full power and capacity and (ii) is a natural person, has the legal capacity, in each case, to execute and perform the obligations imposed on the Purchaser hereunder. The
Purchaser has engaged in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within a state in which the offer and sale of the Sponsors' Warrants is permitted under applicable securities laws. The
Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the purchase of Shares upon the exercise of the Sponsors' Warrants will require the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and/or
state securities laws and that any sale of such Shares shall require registration or the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and/or state securities laws. 

        B.    Authorization;
No Breach. 

          (i)  This
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in
equity or law). 

         (ii)  The
execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the respective terms hereof by the Purchaser does not and shall
not as of the Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of the organizational documents of the Purchaser, as in effect and as may be amended from time to
time, or any other agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject. 

        C.    Investment
Representations. 

          (i)  The
Purchaser is acquiring the Sponsors' Warrants and, upon exercise of the Sponsors' Warrants, the Shares issuable upon such exercise (collectively, the
"Securities") for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or
distribution thereof. 

         (ii)  The
Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D. 

        (iii)  The
Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the
United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser's compliance with, the representations and warranties of the
Purchasers set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities. 

3

 

        (iv)  The
Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). 

         (v)  The
Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the
Securities which have been requested by such Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser
understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as such Purchaser has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to such Purchaser's acquisition of the Securities. 

        (vi)  The
Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or
endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities. 

       (vii)  The
Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not
be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically
set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to
comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser understands that the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that promoters or
affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after a Business Combination, are deemed to be "underwriters" under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a
blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with
the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The
Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time. 

      (viii)  The
Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knows of the high degree of risk associated with investments in the securities of
companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for it or his/her current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated
future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its or his investment in the Securities. 

        D.    Waiver
of Claims. Each Purchaser hereby waives any and all rights to assert any present or future claims, including any right of rescission, against the Company with
respect to its purchase of Sponsors' Warrants, and each Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from all losses, damages or expenses that relate to claims or proceedings brought
against the Company by the Purchaser of the Sponsors' Warrants or its transferees, assigns or any subsequent holder of the Sponsors' Warrants.

certificates evidencing the Sponsors' Warrants and Shares issued upon exercise of any Sponsors' Warrants will include the legend set forth in Exhibit B to
the Warrant Agreement. 

         (ii)  By
accepting the certificates bearing the aforesaid legend, each of the Purchasers agrees, prior to any permitted transfer of the Securities, to give written notice to
the Company expressing its desire to effect such transfer and describing briefly the proposed transfer. Upon receiving such notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to its counsel and the each
of the Purchasers agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until: 

        (a)   there
is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such
registration statement, in which case the legends set forth above with respect to the Securities sold pursuant to such registration statement shall be removed; or 

        (b)   if

representations and warranties regarding the transferee that are reasonably satisfactory to the Company signed by the proposed transferee and (C) the Company shall have received an agreement by

Purchasers specifically assents by its execution hereof. 

        (iii)  The

considers it necessary to ensure
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the transfer restrictions contained elsewhere in this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement.

the remainder of this Agreement.

counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

	Re:
	Initial
Public Offering of Prospect Acquisition Corp. 

Ladies
and Gentlemen: 

        This
letter is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") entered into by and
between Prospect Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative of the
underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters"), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the
"IPO") of the Company's units (the "Units"), each Unit composed of one share of the Company's common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and one warrant, which is exercisable for one share of Common Stock (the
"Warrants"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 3 hereof. 

        In
order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree with the Company as follows: 

        1.     The
undersigned agree that from the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by the Company in connection with the IPO until the
earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or (ii) 24 months from the date of the final prospectus relating to the IPO, the Company shall have the right of
first review (the "Right of First Review") with respect to business combination opportunities of the undersigned, and companies or other entities which
the undersigned manage or control, in the financial services sector or a related business with an enterprise value of $195 million or more. The undersigned will first offer, and will cause such
companies or other entities under their management or control to first offer, any such business combination opportunity to the Company. The undersigned will not, and will cause each company or other
entity under their management or control not to, pursue such business combination opportunity unless and until a majority of the Company's disinterested directors has determined for any reason that
the Company will not pursue such opportunity. 

        2.     Each
of the undersigned has the full right and power, without violating any agreement by which he or it is bound, to enter into this letter agreement. 

        3.     As
used herein, (i) "Initial Business Combination" shall mean the acquisition through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or other similar business combination, of one or more businesses or assets in connection with which the Company will require that (a) a majority of the shares of Common Stock
voted by the Public Stockholders are voted in favor of such acquisition, (b) holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock approve an amendment to the Company's certificate of
incorporation to provide for the Company's perpetual existence and (c) Public Stockholders owning no more than 30% (minus one share) of the IPO Shares exercise their conversion rights;
(ii) "IPO Shares" shall mean the shares of Common Stock underlying the Units issued in the IPO; and (iii) "Public Stockholders" shall mean purchasers of Common Stock in the IPO or in the
secondary market, including any of the Company's officers or directors or their affiliates, including the undersigned, to the extent that they purchase or acquire Common Stock in the IPO or the
secondary market. 

        4.     Each
of the undersigned acknowledges and understands that the Company and the Underwriters will rely upon the agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein
in proceeding with the IPO. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to render the Underwriters a 

 

representative
