 Exhibit 10.15 
 Subscription Agreement 
 January 30, 2007 
 To the Board of Directors of 
 Victory Acquisition Corp.: 
 Gentlemen: 
 The undersigned hereby subscribes for and
agrees to purchase 2,500,000 Warrants (“Insider Warrants”) at $1.00 per Insider Warrant, each to purchase one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Victory Acquisition Corp. (the “Corporation”) at $7.50 per share
for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000 (“Purchase Price”). The purchase and issuance of the Insider Warrants shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Corporation’s initial public offering of securities
(“IPO”) which is being underwritten by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”). The Insider Warrants will be sold to the undersigned on a private placement basis and not part of the IPO. 
 At least 24 hours prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with the IPO (“Registration Statement”), the
undersigned shall deliver the Purchase Price to Graubard Miller (“GM”) to hold in a non-interest bearing account until the Corporation consummates the IPO. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, GM shall deposit the Purchase
Price, without interest or deduction, into the trust fund (“Trust Fund”) established by the Corporation for the benefit of the Corporation’s public stockholders as described in the Corporation’s Registration Statement, pursuant
to the terms of an Investment Management Trust Agreement to be entered into between the Corporation and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. In the event that the IPO is not consummated within 14 days of the date the Purchase Price
is delivered to GM, GM shall return the Purchase Price to the undersigned, without interest or deduction. 
 The undersigned represents and
warrants that he has been advised that the Insider Warrants (including the underlying shares of common stock) have not been registered under the Securities Act; that he is acquiring the Insider Warrants for his account for investment purposes only;
that he has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of the Insider Warrants in violation of the securities laws of the United States; that he is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and that he is familiar with the proposed business, management, financial condition and affairs of the Corporation. 
 Moreover, the undersigned agrees that he shall not sell or transfer the Insider Warrants or any underlying securities until after the Corporation
consummates a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business (“Business Combination”) meeting the requirements set forth in the Registration Statement and acknowledges
that the certificates for such Insider Warrants shall contain a legend indicating such restriction on transferability. 
 The Company hereby
acknowledges and agrees that, in the event the Company calls the Warrants for redemption pursuant to that certain Warrant Agreement to be entered into by the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in connection with the
Company’s IPO, the Insider Warrants shall not be redeemable by the Company so long as such Insider Warrants are held by the undersigned or his affiliates. 
 The terms of this agreement and the restriction on transfers with respect to the Insider Warrants may not be amended without the prior written consent of Citigroup.

 For services rendered by EMPLOYEE pursuant to this Agreement for the period April 4, 2007 through March 31, 2008, XM agrees to increase

 (e) (i) In the event EMPLOYEE’S employment is terminated by XM without Cause or by EMPLOYEE by resignation for Good Reason or by Mutual
Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the equity plans or the applicable award agreement, all options and restricted stock (other than, with respect to any termination of employment occurring prior to March 31, 2008, the 2007

	 	8.	Article 4.7 is hereby added to the Agreement: 

 4.7 409A.

 (b) XM shall reimburse EMPLOYEE for any additional taxes, interest charges, and penalties imposed on EMPLOYEE by Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code (a “409A Tax”) as a result of any payment, award, benefit or distribution (or acceleration of any payment, award, benefit or distribution) made or provided to or for the EMPLOYEE’s benefit in connection with this
Agreement, or EMPLOYEE’s employment with XM or the termination thereof, and XM shall pay to EMPLOYEE an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount of the Gross-Up Payment retained by EMPLOYEE, after deduction
of any federal, state and local income and employment taxes (including any excise tax imposed by application of Section 409A or otherwise) upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the 409A Tax, if any.

written above.
