| 2. | The restrictions set forth in paragraph 1 shall not apply to: |
| a) | Transfers to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which such Shareholder is the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests; |
| b) | if such Shareholder is a natural person, (i) by bona fide gift to any member of such Shareholder’s Immediate Family, (ii) to a family trust, established for the exclusive benefit of such Shareholder or any of his Immediate Family for estate planning purposes, (iii) by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such Shareholder or (iv) pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; |

| d) | the entry, at any time after the Amalgamation Closing, into any trading plan providing for the sale of PubCo Shares meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, provided that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any PubCo Shares during the Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-Up Period; |
| e) | Transfers in the event of completion of a bona fide amalgamation, merger, scheme of arrangement, business combination, consolidation, combination sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or other similar transaction which results in all of PubCo’s security holders having the right to exchange their PubCo Shares for cash, securities or other property; |
| f) | in the case of an entity, a Transfer (i) to another entity that is an affiliate of such Shareholder, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with such Shareholder or affiliates of such Shareholder or who shares a common investment advisor with such Shareholder or (ii) as part of a distribution to members, partners or shareholders of such Shareholder; |

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a), (b), and (e) to (i), these permitted transferees shall enter into a written agreement, in substantially the same form of this Letter Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Shareholder and not to the immediate family of the transferee), agreeing to be bound by these Transfer restrictions. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned, and lineal descendant (including by adoption) of the undersigned or of any of the foregoing persons; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

| 3. | In furtherance of the foregoing, PubCo, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described in the Business Combination Agreement, are hereby authorized to: |
| a) | cause its transfer agent for the Lock-Up Shares to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the share register and other records relating to, such Lock-Up Shares for which such Lock-Up Shareholder is the record holder; and |
| b) | in the case of Lock-Up Shares for which such Shareholder is the beneficial but not the record holder, agrees during the Lock-Up Period to cause the record holder to cause the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the share register and other records relating to, such Lock-Up Shares; |
in each case, if and to the extent such transfer would constitute a Transfer in breach of this Letter Agreement. PubCo agrees to instruct its transfer agent to remove any stop transfer restrictions on the share register and other records related to the Lock-Up Shares within 3 Business Days of a request by a Shareholder the expiration of the Applicable Period.
| 4. | During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Lock-Up Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends: |
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [--], BY AND AMONG NYB HOLDINGS LIMITED (“COMPANY”), THE HOLDER NAMED THEREIN AND THE OTHER PARTIES THERETO. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”
| 5. | This Letter Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or referred herein or the documents or instrument referred to herein, which collectively supersedes all prior agreements and the understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein. This Letter Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by the undersigned Shareholder and PubCo (and with respect to PubCo, only with the written consent of a majority of its directors, which shall include a majority of its independent directors). |
| 6. | This Letter Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Letter Agreement shall not be assigned by any party hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. |
| 7. | This Letter Agreement and any action, proceeding, claim or dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) (each, an “Action”) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Letter Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws (both substantive and procedural) of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the state and federal courts within the State of New York (and any courts having jurisdiction over appeals therefrom) (the “Specified Courts”). Each party hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive personal and subject matter jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject to the personal or subject matter jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by laws. |
| 8. | This Letter Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof and terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Lock-up Period, (ii) termination of the Business Combination Agreement, and (iii) the liquidation of PubCo. |
