    Re:
      Initial Public Offering

    

    Gentlemen:

    

    The
      undersigned securityholder, officer and director of Stoneleigh Partners
      Acquisition Corp. (“Company”), in consideration of HCFP/Brenner Securities LLC
      (“Brenner”) 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 cause JAC Opportunity Fund I, LLC (“JAC Opportunity”) to vote
      all Insider Shares owned by such entity in accordance with the majority of
      the
      votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares.

    

    2.
      In the
      event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24
      months from the effective date (“Effective Date”) of the registration statement
      relating to the IPO, the undersigned will (i) cause the Trust Fund 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 the Insider Shares owned by JAC Opportunity (“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. In the event of
      the
      liquidation of the Trust Fund, 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 vendor or other
      person who is owed money by the Company for services rendered or products sold
      or contracted for, or by any target business, but only to the extent necessary
      to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce
      the amount in the Trust Fund.

    

    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, 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 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 Brenner that the business
      combination is fair to the Company's stockholders from a financial
      perspective.

    

    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
      commencing on the Effective Date, PLM International Inc. (“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 Related Party's offices, utilities and personnel. Related Party and
      the
      undersigned shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for their
      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 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 Shares owned by JAC Opportunity
      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.
