            Gentlemen:

            

            The
              undersigned director and stockholder of Symphony Acquisition Corp.
              (“Company”),
              in consideration of EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) entering into a letter of
              intent (“Letter of Intent”) to underwrite an initial public offering of the
              securities of the Company (“IPO”) and embarking on the IPO process, hereby
              agrees as follows (certain capitalized terms used herein are defined
              in
              paragraph 14 hereof):

             

            1.  If
              the
              Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination,
              the
              undersigned will vote all Insider Shares beneficially owned by him
              in accordance
              with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the holders
              of the IPO
              Shares. If the Company seeks stockholder approval for its dissolution
              and plan
              of distribution prior the consummation of a Business Combination, the
              undersigned agrees to vote all Insider Shares in favor of such dissolution
              and
              plan of distribution.

             

            2.  In
              the
              event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within
              24
              months from the consummation of the IPO (or 30 months from the consummation
              of
              the IPO under the circumstances described in the prospectus relating
              to the
              IPO), the undersigned will
              (i)
              cause the Trust Fund (as defined in the Letter of Intent) to be liquidated
              and
              distributed to the holders of IPO Shares and (ii) take all reasonable
              actions
              within his power to 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
              Insider Shares (“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 inter-est 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 an officer
              or
              director 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: (i)
              acquire an entity with which the Insiders, through their other business
              activities, had acquisition or investment discussions in the past;
              (ii)
              consummate an initial Business Combination with an entity which is,
              or has been
              within the past five years, affiliated with any of the Insiders or
              their
              affiliates, including an entity that is either a portfolio company
              of, or has
              otherwise received a material financial investment from, any private
              equity fund
              or investment company (or an affiliate thereof) that is affiliated
              with such
              individuals; or (iii) enter into a Business Combination where the Company
              acquires less than 100% of a target business and any Insider acquires
              the
              remaining portion of such target business, unless, in any of such cases,
              the
              Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm
              reasonably acceptable to EBC that the Business Combination is fair
              to the
              Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view.

             

            5.  Neither
              the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any
              affiliate
              (“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 his 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,
              consulting 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 the Insider Units, subject to the terms
              of a
              Securities Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter into with
              the
              undersigned and an escrow agent acceptable to the Company. The undersigned
              further agrees that he will not sell, transfer or assign (except to
              permitted
              transferees) any Insider Warrants until after the consummation by the
              Company of
              a Business Combination.

            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
              EBC 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 Questionnaire furnished to the Company and EBC 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;

             

            (b)  he
              has
              never been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any crime (i) involving
              any fraud
              or (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds
              of another
              person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any securities and he
              is not
              currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding; and

             

            (c)  he
              has
              never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities
              or
              commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities
              license
              or registration denied, suspended or revoked.

             

            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. The undersigned further agrees not to enter into any type
              of
              transaction, the purpose of which is to induce a public stockholder
              to vote for
              approval of the Company’s initial Business Combination (including payments of
              money, transfers of securities or purchases of securities).

             

            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 other than through
              actions by
              the undersigned, the undersigned hereby agrees to vote against such
              proposal.
              This paragraph may not be modified or amended under any
              circumstances.

             

            12.  The
              undersigned authorizes any employer, financial institution, or consumer
              credit
              reporting agency to release to EBC and its legal representatives or
              agents
              (including any investigative search firm retained by EBC) any information
              they
              may have about the undersigned’s background and finances (“Information”).
              Neither EBC nor its agents shall be violating the undersigned’s right of privacy
              in any manner in requesting and obtaining the Information and the undersigned
              hereby releases them from liability for any damage whatsoever in that
              connection.
              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,
              and (ii)
              waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts
              represent an inconvenient forum. If for any reason such agent is unable
              to act
              as such, the undersigned will promptly notify the Company and EBC and
              appoint a
              substitute agent acceptable to EBC 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.  This
              letter agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
              accor-dance
              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.

             

            14.  As
              used
              herein, (i) a “Business Combination” shall mean an acquisition by merger,
              capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition, reorganization
              or otherwise,
              of an operating business; (ii) “Insiders” shall mean all officers, directors and
              stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the IPO; (iii) “Insider Shares”
shall mean all of the shares of Common Stock of the Company included
              in the
              Insider Units; (iv) “Insider Units” shall mean all of the units of the Company
              acquired by the Insiders prior to the IPO (including the underlying

              of such
              warrants)); (v) “Insider Warrants” shall mean the warrants being purchased by
              the Insiders in a private placement transaction simultaneously with
              the
              consummation of the IPO; and (vi) “IPO Shares” shall mean the shares of Common
              Stock issued in the Company’s IPO.

                    (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Claim”). The Trustee shall have the
                    right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified
                    Claim,
                    provided, that the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Company
                    with respect
                    to the selection of counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably
                    withheld.
                    The Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without
                    the prior
                    written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
                    withheld. The Company may participate in such action with its
                    own counsel;

                  

                  (c) Pay
                    the
                    Trustee an initial acceptance fee, an annual fee and a transaction
                    processing
                    fee for each disbursement made pursuant to Section 2 as set forth
                    on Schedule A
                    hereto, which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties
                    from time to
                    time. It is expressly understood that the Property shall not
                    be used to pay such
                    fees unless and until it is distributed to the Company pursuant
                    to Section 2.
                    The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee
                    and first year’s
                    fee at the consummation of the IPO and thereafter on the anniversary
                    of the
                    Effective Date. The Trustee shall refund to the Company the annual
                    fee (on a pro
                    rata basis) with respect to any period after the liquidation
                    of the Trust Fund.
                    The Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges
                    of the
                    Trustee except as set forth in this Section 3(c) and as may be
                    provided in
                    Section 3(b) hereof (it being expressly understood that the Property
                    shall not
                    be used to make any payments to the Trustee under such Sections);

                  

                  (d) In
                    connection with any vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding a Business
                    Combination, provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate
                    of a firm
                    regularly engaged in the business of soliciting proxies and/or
                    tabulating
                    stockholder votes (which firm may be the Trustee) verifying the
                    vote of the
                    Company’s stockholders regarding such Business Combination.

                  

                  
                    
                      
                      

                    

                    
                      3

                      
                        

                      

                    

                    
                      
                      

                    

                  

                  4. Limitations
                    of Liability.
                    The
                    Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability to:

                  

                  (a) Take
                    any
                    action with respect to the Property, other than as directed in
                    paragraphs 1 and
                    2 hereof and the Trustee shall have no liability to any party
                    except for
                    liability arising out of its own gross negligence or willful
                    misconduct;

                  

                  (b) Institute
                    any proceeding for the collection of any principal and income
                    arising from, or
                    institute, appear in or defend any proceeding of any kind with
                    respect to, any
                    of the Property unless and until it shall have received instructions
                    from the
                    Company given as provided here-in to do so and the Company shall
                    have advanced
                    or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any expenses incident
                    thereto;

                  

                  (c) Change
                    the investment of any Property, other than in compliance with
                    paragraph 1(c);

                  

                  (d) Refund
                    any depreciation in principal of any Property;

                  

                  (e) Assume
                    that the authority of any person designated by the Company to
                    give instructions
                    hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided otherwise in
                    such designation,
                    or unless the Company shall have delivered a written revocation
                    of such
                    authority to the Trustee;

                  

                  (f) The
                    other
                    parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted
                    by it, or any
                    action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and
                    in the exercise
                    of its own best judgment, except for its gross negligence or
                    willful misconduct.
                    The Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting
                    upon any
                    order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel
                    (including
                    counsel chosen by the Trustee), statement, instrument, report
                    or other paper or
                    document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and
                    effectiveness of
                    its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of
                    any information
                    therein contained) which is believed by the Trustee, in good
                    faith, to be
                    genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or
                    persons. The
                    Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver,
                    modification,
                    termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms
                    hereof, unless
                    evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee signed
                    by the proper
                    party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee
                    are affected,
                    unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;

                  

                  (g) Verify
                    the correctness of the information set forth in the Registration
                    Statement or to
                    confirm or assure that any acquisition made by the Company or
                    any other action
                    taken by it is as contemplated by the Registration Statement;
                    and

                  

                  (h) Prepare,
                    execute and file tax reports, income or other tax returns and
                    pay any taxes with
                    respect to income and other activities relating to the Trust
                    Account, regardless
                    of whether such tax is payable by the Trust Account or the Company
                    (including
                    but not limited to income tax obligations), it being expressly
                    understood that
                    as set forth in Section 1(i), if there is any income or other
                    tax obligation
                    relating to the Trust Account or the Property in the Trust Account,
                    as
                    determined from time to time by the Company and regardless of
                    whether such tax
                    is payable by the Company or the Trust, at the written instruction
                    of the
                    Company, the Trustee shall make funds available in cash from
                    the Property in the
                    Trust Account an amount specified by the Company as owing to
                    the applicable
                    taxing authority, which amount shall be paid directly to the
                    Company by
                    electronic funds transfer, account debit or other method of payment,
                    and the
                    Company shall forward such payment to the taxing authority.

                  

                  
                    
                      
                      

                    

                    
                      4

                      
                        

                      

                    

                    
                      
                      

                    

                  

                  5. Termination.
                    This
                    Agreement shall terminate as follows:

                  

                  (a) If
                    the
                    Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to
                    resign under this
                    Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to locate
                    a successor
                    trustee. At such time that the Company notifies the Trustee that
                    a successor
                    trustee has been appointed by the Company and has agreed to become
                    subject to
                    the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the management
                    of the
                    Trust Account to the successor trustee, including but not limited
                    to the
                    transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to
                    the Trust Account,
                    whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however,
                    that, in the event
                    that the Company does not locate a successor trustee within ninety
                    days of
                    receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee
                    may submit an
                    application to have the Property deposited with any court in
                    the State of New
                    York or with the United States District Court for the Southern
                    District of New
                    York and upon such deposit, the Trustee shall be immune from
                    any liability
                    whatsoever; or 

                  

                  (b) At
                    such
                    time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust
                    Account in
                    accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1(i) hereof, and
                    distributed the
                    Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination
                    Letter, this
                    Agreement shall terminate except with respect to Paragraph 3(b).

                  

                  6. Miscellaneous.

                  

                  (a) The
                    Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will
                    follow the
                    procedures set forth below with respect to funds transferred
                    from the Trust
                    Account. Upon receipt of written instructions, the Trustee will
                    confirm such
                    instructions with an Authorized Individual at an Authorized Telephone
                    Number
                    listed on the attached Exhibit F. In executing funds transfers,
                    the Trustee will
                    rely upon account numbers or other identifying numbers of a beneficiary,
                    beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank, rather than names. The Trustee shall
                    not be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from
                    any error in an
                    account number or other identifying number, provided it has accurately
                    transmitted the numbers provided.

                  

                  (b) This
                    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. It may be executed in several original
                    or facsimile
                    counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original,
                    and together shall
                    constitute but one instrument.

                  

                  (c) This
                    Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of
                    the parties hereto
                    with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except for Section
                    1(i) (which may
                    not be amended under any circumstances), this Agreement or any
                    provision here-of
                    may only be changed, amended or modified by a writing signed
                    by each of the
                    parties hereto; provided, however, that no such change, amendment
                    or
                    modification may be made without the prior written consent of
                    EBC. As to any
                    claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in any way relating to this
                    Agreement, each
                    party waives the right to trial by jury.

                  

                  (d) The
                    parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state
                    or federal
                    court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan,
                    for purposes of
                    resolving any disputes hereunder.

                  

                  (e) Any
                    notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any
                    of the terms or
                    provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
                    sent by express
