Re:    Initial Public Offering

Ladies
and Gentlemen: 

        The
undersigned stockholder, officer and/or director of Vantage Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in
consideration of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (the "Underwriter") agreeing to underwrite an initial public offering
("IPO") of the Company's units ("Units"), each comprised of one share of the Company's common stock, par
value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), and one warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock
("Warrant"), hereby agrees as follows (certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in  Schedule 1 hereto): 

        1.     If
the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned shall vote (i) all Insider Shares owned by such person, any Private
Placement Shares acquired by the undersigned in the Private Placement, and any shares of Common Stock acquired in the IPO in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO
shares and (ii) any shares of Common Stock acquired following the IPO, in favor of the Business Combination. 

        2.     If
a Transaction Failure occurs, the undersigned shall take all reasonable actions within such person's power to cause (i) the Trust Account to be liquidated and
distributed to the holders of the IPO shares as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, no later than the Termination Date, and (ii) the Company to dissolve and liquidate as soon as
practicable (the earliest date on which the conditions in clauses (i) and (ii) are both satisfied being the "Liquidation Date"). The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title,
interest or claim of any kind in or to any liquidating distributions by the Company, except with respect to any of the IPO Shares acquired by the undersigned in connection with or following the IPO,
and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result of such liquidation, and hereby further 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 agrees to not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and
all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by any vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company
for services rendered, or contracted for, or products sold to us or the claims of any target businesses, but only to the extent such vendors, service providers or other entities have not executed
waivers or have executed waivers that are held to be invalid or unenforceable, and only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount
in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that such indemnity shall be limited to the extent of the undersigned's pro rata beneficial ownership of the Company. The undersigned hereby agrees that the
Company shall be entitled to a reimbursement from the undersigned for any distribution of the Trust Account received by the undersigned in respect of such person's Insider Shares or Private Placement
Shares. 

        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, opportunities to acquire entities, 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 or 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 unless the Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to the Underwriter that is a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. that the business combination is fair to the Company's stockholders from a financial perspective. 

        5.     Neither
the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned, nor any affiliate of the undersigned
("Affiliate") 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, (i) commencing on the Effective Date, Vanderbilt Interests, LLC (the "Related Party") shall be allowed to charge the
Company $7,500 per month, representing an allocable share of Related Party's overhead, to compensate it for the Company's use of the Related Party's offices, utilities and personnel. The Related Party
and the undersigned shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a
Business Combination. 

        6.     The
undersigned agrees that none of the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive
or accept, and the undersigned, on behalf of the undersigned and the aforementioned parties, hereby waives any rights to, a finder's fee or any other compensation in the event the undersigned, any
member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business Combination. 

        7.     The
undersigned will, as specified in the Securities Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter into with the undersigned and an escrow agent acceptable to the
Company, escrow its, his or her Insider Shares and Private Placement Securities for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending one year after the consummation of a Business Combination or
(ii) the date on which the Company gives the escrow agent notice that the Company is being liquidated, at which time the escrow agent will destroy such Insider Shares and Private Placement
Securities. 

        8.     The
undersigned agrees to be the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and 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 the Underwriter and attached hereto as Exhibit A is true and
