	 	Re:	Administrative
    Services Agreement

 

Gentlemen:

 

This
letter agreement by and between Vantage Energy Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and NGP Vantage Energy LLC (“NGP”),
dated as of the date hereof, will confirm our agreement that, commencing on the date the securities of the Company are first listed
on the NASDAQ Capital Market (the “Listing Date”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 and prospectus
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”) and continuing until the earlier
of the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation (in each case as described
in the Registration Statement) (such earlier date hereinafter referred to as the “Termination Date”):

 

(i)       NGP
shall make available to the Company, at 5221 N. O’Connor Boulevard, 11th Floor, Irving, TX 75039 (or any successor location
of NGP), certain office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services as may be reasonably required by the
Company. In exchange therefor, the Company shall pay NGP the sum of $10,000 per month on the Listing Date and continuing monthly
thereafter until the Termination Date; and

 

NGP
hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title, interest, causes of action and claims of any kind (each, a “Claim”)
in or to, and any and all right to seek payment of any amounts due to it out of, the trust account established for the benefit
of the public stockholders of the Company and into which substantially all of the proceeds of the Company’s initial public
offering will be deposited (the “Trust Account”), and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim it may have in the future
as a result of, or arising out of, this letter agreement, which Claim would reduce, encumber or otherwise adversely affect the
Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account, and further agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment
or satisfaction of any Claim against the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

 

This
letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of its subject matter 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 amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed
by the parties hereto.

 

No
party hereto may assign either this letter agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior
written approval of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and
shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee.

 

This
letter agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract,
tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the
State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.

EXECUTION

 

PRIVATE
PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS
PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of April 10, 2017 (as it may from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”),
is entered into by and between Vantage Energy Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and NGP Vantage
Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).

 

WHEREAS,
the Company intends to consummate an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”),
each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), and one-third of one warrant as set forth in the Company’s registration statements on Form S-1, filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), File Numbers 333-216129 and 333-217239 (the “Registration
Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Each whole warrant entitles
the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Purchaser has agreed to purchase
an aggregate of 7,733,333 warrants (or up to 8,693,333 warrants if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public
Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each whole Private Placement Warrant entitling
the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

 

NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound,
agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

A.       Authorization

to the Purchaser.

 

B.       Purchase

(i)       On
the date that is one business day prior to the date of the consummation of the Public Offering or on such earlier time and date
as may be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company (the “Initial Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and
sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, 7,733,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50
per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $11,600,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchaser shall pay the Purchase
Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions. On the Initial
Closing Date, upon the payment by the Purchaser of the Purchase Price, the Company, at its option, shall deliver a certificate

or effect such delivery in book-entry form.

 

(ii)       On
the date that is one business day prior to the date of the consummation of the closing of the over-allotment option in connection
with the Public Offering or on such earlier time and date as may be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company (each such

being sometimes referred to herein as a “Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the
Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, up to 960,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant for an aggregate
purchase price of up to $1,440,000 (if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full)
(the “Over-allotment Purchase Price”). The Purchaser shall pay the Over-allotment Purchase Price by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the Company in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions. On the Over-allotment
Closing Date, upon the payment by the Purchaser of the Over-allotment Purchase Price, the Company shall, at its option, deliver
a certificate evidencing the Private Placement Warrants duly registered in the Purchaser’s name to the Purchaser, or effect
such delivery in book-entry form.

 

    

     

    

 

C.       Terms
of the Private Placement Warrants.

 

(i)       Each
Private Placement Warrant shall have the terms set forth in a Warrant Agreement to be entered into by the Company and a warrant
agent, in connection with the Public Offering (the “Warrant Agreement”).

 

(ii)       At
the time of the closing of the Public Offering, the Company and the Purchaser shall enter into a registration rights agreement
(the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will grant certain registration rights to the
Purchaser relating to the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants.

 

Section
2.     Representations and Warranties of the Company. As a material inducement to the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement
and purchase the Private Placement Warrants, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser (which representations

the Private Placement Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
terms as of the Closing Date.

 

(ii)       The
execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Private Placement Warrants, the issuance and sale of the Private

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

Section
3.     Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement
and issue and sell the Private Placement Warrants to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company
(which representations and warranties shall survive each Closing Date) that:

 

A.       Organization
and Requisite Authority. The Purchaser possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

 

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 terms hereof by the Purchaser
does not and shall not as of each Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or
provisions of any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject.

 

C.       Investment
Representations.

 

(i)       The
Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for the Purchaser’s 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 under the Securities
Act.

 

(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 Purchaser set forth herein
in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.

 

(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.

 

(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 the 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 and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the 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 SEC 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.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(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 for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its 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 investment in the Securities.

Placement Warrants are subject to the fulfillment, on or before each Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:
