    Gentlemen:

    

    The
      undersigned stockholder of Hyde Park 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 12
      hereof):

    

    1. If
      the
      Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the
      undersigned will vote all Insider Shares owned by it in accordance with the
      majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares. 

    

    2. 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 its 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. 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 EBC that the business combination is fair to the
      Company’s stockholders from a financial perspective.

     

    4. Neither
      the undersigned, any
      controlling person of the undersigned (“Controlling Person”),
      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 its
      out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating
      a
      Business Combination.  

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    5. Neither
      the undersigned, any Controlling Person, nor any Affiliate of the undersigned
      will be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s fee or any other compensation
      in the event the undersigned, any Controlling Person or any Affiliate of the
      undersigned originates a Business Combination. 

    

    6. The
      undersigned will escrow all of its Insider Shares acquired prior to the IPO
      until one year after the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination
      subject to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter
      into with the undersigned and an escrow agent acceptable to the
      Company.

    

    7. The
      undersigned’s Questionnaire furnished to the Company and EBC and annexed as
      Exhibit A hereto is true and accurate in all respects. The undersigned
      represents and warrants that no Controlling Person:

    

    (a)  is
      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)  has
      ever
      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 is not currently a
      defendant in any such criminal proceeding; and

    

    (c)  has
      ever
      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.

    

    8. The
      undersigned has full right and power, without violating any agreement by which
      it is bound, to enter into this letter agreement.

    

    9. The
      undersigned hereby waives its 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 it will not seek conversion
      with respect to such shares in connection with any vote to approve a Business
      Combination.

    

    10. 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.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    11. 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. 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 exclu-sive, (ii) waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction
      and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum and (iii) irrevocably
      agrees to appoint Graubard Miller as agent for the service of process in the
      State of New York to receive, for the undersigned and on his behalf, service
      of
      process in any Proceeding. 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 each of the Company and 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.  

    

    12. 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 acquired by an
      Insider prior to the IPO; and (iv) “IPO Shares” shall mean the shares of Common
