Re: Initial Public Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter (“Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into, or proposed to be entered into, by and between Chart Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. and Xxxxx and Company, LLC, as the representatives of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Offering”), of 7,500,000 of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (each, a “Warrant”). The Units sold in the Offering shall be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 16 hereof.

The Insiders and Underwriters hereby agree with the Company as follows:

1. Each Insider of the Company hereby agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, such person shall vote, as applicable, all Founder Shares, Placement Shares and any shares acquired by such person in the Offering or in the secondary public market in favor of such proposed Business Combination.

2. (a) Each Insider of the Company hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 21 months from the date of the Prospectus, such person, shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Common Stock held by the Public Stockholders, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account less any interest released for working capital purposes, payment of taxes or dissolution expenses, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Insiders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

(b) Each of the Company and its officers and directors hereby agree they will not propose any amendment to the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company's redemption obligation, as described in Section 9.1(a) of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

(c) Each Insider acknowledges that such party has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares or Placement Shares only.

(d) Each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of the Common Stock or Placement Shares held by such undersigned party, any redemption rights such party may have (i) in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) if the Company fails to consummate its initial Business Combination within 21 months from the date of the Prospectus; provided, however, that if any of the Insiders, should acquire public shares in or after the Offering, such Insiders will be entitled to redemption rights with respect to such public shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 21 months from the date of the Prospectus, (iii) in connection with an expired or unwithdrawn tender offer, and (iv) upon the liquidation of the Company prior to the expiration of the 21 month period.

3. (a) To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock (as described in the Prospectus), the Insiders (except Messrs. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Governor Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Senator Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Teen and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx) shall return to the Company for cancellation, at no cost, an aggregate number of Founder Shares determined by multiplying 281,250 by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which is 1,125,000 minus the number of shares of the Common Stock purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 1,125,000. The Insiders further agree that to the extent that: (A) the size of the Offering is increased or decreased and (B) the Insiders have either purchased or sold shares of the Common Stock or an adjustment to the number of Founder Shares has been effected by way of a stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, contribution back to capital or otherwise, in each case in connection with such increase or decrease in the size of the Offering, then, (x) the references to 1,125,000 in the numerator and denominator of the formula in the immediately preceding sentence shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the number of shares included in the Units issued in the Offering and (y) the reference to 281,250 in the formula set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be adjusted to such number of shares of the Common Stock that the Insiders would have to return to the Company in order that the Insiders will hold an aggregate of 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares (which 20% shall include any Founder Shares held by each of Messrs. Xxxxxx, Ridge, Kerrey, Teen and Xxxxxx) after the Offering (assuming the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option and excluding any Placement Shares).

(b) In the case of any of the Founder Shares owned by the Insiders that are not subject to forfeiture pursuant to paragraph 3(a) above, until the earlier of (A) one year after the consummation of the Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the Business Combination, the last sales price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, or (B) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (such applicable period being the “Founder Lock-Up Period”); provided that, to the extent any Founder Shares remain subject to forfeiture as described in this paragraph 3(b)(i) and (ii) below, the Founder Lock-up Period shall be automatically extended until such Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture; the Insiders shall not, except as described in the Prospectus, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to the Founder Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Founder Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (b)(i) or (b)(ii). Each of the Insiders, agrees, with respect to the Founder Shares that are the subject to this paragraph 3(b), in the event the Company’s trading price of the Common Stock does not exceed the following price targets subsequent to the Business Combination, such Insider acknowledges and agrees that it, he or she shall forfeit any and all rights to a portion of the Founder Shares, as follows:

(ii) in the event the last sale price of the Common Stock does not equal or exceed $13.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within at least one 30-trading day period within 60 months following the closing of the Business Combination, the Insider (and Permitted Transferees) shall forfeit pro-rata any and all rights to 2.5% of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (after exercise or expiration of the Over-allotment Option and excluding any Placement Shares) in addition to any shares forfeited under Section 3(a)(i) above.

(c) Until 30 days after the consummation of the Business Combination (“Placement Unit Lock-Up Period”), each of Sponsor, Xx. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxx shall not, except as described in the Prospectus, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to the Placement Units, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants, Tendered Warrants or shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Warrants or Tendered Warrants, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Placement Units, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants, Tendered Warrants or shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Warrants or Tendered Warrants, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (c)(i) or (c)(ii).

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions contained in paragraphs 3(b) and 3(c) herein, any Insider or Cowen may transfer, as applicable, the Founder Shares and/or Placement Units, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants, Tendered Warrants or shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Warrants or Tendered Warrants: (i) to the Company’s officers or directors, to the other Insiders, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers, directors or other Insiders, any member of Sponsor or partners, affiliates or employees of members of the Sponsor, or partners of Cowen or any of their respective affiliates; (ii) by gift to a member of the Sponsor or partners, affiliates, or employees of the members of the Sponsor, or a partner of Cowen or their immediate family or one of the Insiders, an immediate family member of one of the members of the Sponsor or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of Sponsor or a family member of a member of the Sponsor or partners, affiliates or employees of the members of the Sponsor, or partner of Cowen and their immediate family, or an Insider, or to a charitable organization; (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of an Insider (including members of Sponsor) or a partner of Cowen; (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) by virtue of the laws of the state of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor or, in the case of Cowen, by virtue of the laws of the Cayman Islands or its controlling limited partnership agreement; (vi) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of the Business Combination; or (vii) in the event that the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i) through (v), these permitted transferees (each, a “Permitted Transferee”) enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in paragraphs 3(b) and 3(c) herein; provided, further that Cowen will not in any event be permitted to sell any of its Placement Units, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants or Tendered Warrants prior to the date 180 days immediately following the completion of the Prospectus.

(f) Subject to the limitations described herein, each Insider shall retain all of such Insider’s rights as a securityholder during, as applicable, the Founder Lock-up Period and/or Placement Unit Lock-Up Period including, without limitation, the right to vote, as the case may be, the Founder Shares and/or Placement Shares.
