Gentlemen:

This letter (this “ Letter Agreement ”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”) proposed to be entered into by and between Hydra Industries Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and UBS Securities LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “ Underwriters ”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “ Public Offering ”) of 8,000,000 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 ”), one right (each, a “ Right ”) and one warrant (each, a “ Warrant ”). Each Right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock upon the Company’s completion of a Business Combination (as defined below). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one share of the Common Stock at a price of $5.75 per half share, subject to adjustment. The Units shall be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “ Prospectus ”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) and the Company shall apply to have the Units listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 12 hereof.

In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of Hydra Industries Sponsor LLC (the “ Hydra Sponsor ”) and MIHI LLC (the “ Macquarie Sponsor ” and together with the Hydra Sponsor, the “ Sponsors ”) and each of the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a director or member of the Company’s management team or an affiliate thereof (each, an “ Insider ” and collectively, the “ Insiders ”), hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

1. Each Sponsor and each Insider agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, it or he shall vote all Founder Shares and any shares acquired by it or him in the Public Offering or the secondary public market in favor of such proposed Business Combination.

2. Each Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Sponsors and Insiders 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 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering (the “ Offering Shares ”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest income (net of taxes payable and net of up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders 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 other requirements of applicable law. Each Sponsor and each Insider agrees not to propose any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, unless the Company provides its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a price per share, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest income (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.

Each Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it or he 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 Company prior to the Business Combination with respect to the Founder Shares. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of the Common Stock held by it or him, if any, any redemption rights it or he may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase shares of the Common Stock (although each Sponsor and Insider shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any shares of the Common Stock (other than Founder Shares) it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering.

Each Sponsor and each Insider hereby waives any rights it or he may have to require registration of the Units, shares of Common Stock, Rights, Warrants and any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, if any, in connection with the filing of the registration statement relating to the Public Offering. Each Sponsor and each Insider further agrees that, during the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, it or he will not, without the prior written consent of UBS Securities LLC, make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of the Units, shares of Common Stock, Rights, Warrants and any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, if any.

Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 7(c) below, each Sponsor and each Insider hereby confirms that it or he has not, directly or indirectly, taken, and hereby covenants that it or he will not, directly or indirectly, take, any action designed, or which has constituted or will constitute or might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any Units, shares of Common Stock, Rights, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, if any. Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 7(c) below, each Sponsor and each Insider hereby authorizes the Company and its transfer agent, during the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, to decline the transfer of or to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to any Units, shares of Common Stock, Rights, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, if any, subject to this Letter Agreement of which it or he is the record holder, and, with respect to any Units, shares of Common Stock, Rights, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, if any, subject to this Letter Agreement of which it or he is the beneficial owner but not the record holder, it or he hereby agrees to cause such record holder to authorize the Company and its transfer agent, during the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, to decline the transfer of or to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to such shares or other securities.

3. Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 7(c) below, during the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, each Sponsor and each Insider shall not (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, file (or participate in the filing of ) a registration statement with the Commission 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, with respect to any Units, shares of Common Stock, Rights, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, if any, (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 Units, shares of Common Stock, Rights, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, if any, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii).

The provisions of this paragraph will not apply to any release or waiver granted solely to permit a transfer of securities that is not for consideration and where the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement.

4. In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, A. Lorne Weil (the “ Indemnitor ”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, 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) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into an acquisition agreement (a “ Target ”); provided , however , that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent public accountants) or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per share of the Offering Shares remaining outstanding and (ii) such lesser amount per share of the Offering Shares remaining outstanding held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account other than due to the failure to obtain such waiver, in each case, net of the amount of interest income (net of taxes payable), and provided, further, that only if such third party or Target has not executed an agreement waiving claims against and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account whether or not such agreement is enforceable. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any liability as a result of any such third party claims. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor shall not apply as to any claims under the Company’s obligation to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notified the Company in writing that the Indemnitor shall undertake such defense.

5. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,200,000 Units, the Sponsors and Insiders (other than Messrs. Miller, Dannhauser, Stevens and Shea) agree that they shall return to the Company for cancellation, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 300,000 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 1,200,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 1,200,000. The Sponsors and Insiders (other than Messrs. Miller, Dannhauser, Stevens and Shea) further agree that to the extent that (a) the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased and (b) the Sponsors and Insiders (other than Messrs. Miller, Dannhauser, Stevens and Shea) have either purchased or sold shares of 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 Public Offering, then (A) the references to 1,200,000 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 Public Offering and (B) the reference to 300,000 in the formula set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be adjusted to such number of shares of Common Stock that the Sponsors and Insiders (other than Messrs. Miller, Dannhauser, Stevens and Shea) would have to return to the Company in order to hold (with all of the pre-offering stockholders) an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock after the Public Offering. For purposes of clarification, nothing in this paragraph will impact the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by MIHI LLC pursuant to the Forward Purchase Contract (defined below).

6.(a) The Hydra Sponsor and each Insider (other than the MIHI LLC designee) hereby agrees not to participate in the formation of, or become an officer or director of, another blank check company until the Company has entered into a definitive agreement regarding the initial Business Combination or the Company has failed to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering. MIHI LLC and MIHI LLC’s director nominee hereby agree not to participate in the formation of or investment in, or become an officer or director of, any other blank check company that is seeking equity proceeds between $75 million and $175 million until 3 months after the closing of the Public Offering.

(b) Each Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) each of the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or Insider of his or its applicable obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6(a), 7(a), 7(b), 9 and 10 of this Letter Agreement (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stocks dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and shares of Common Stock underlying the Rights included in the Forward Purchase Units will be released from the Founder Shares Lock-Up.

(b) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it or he shall not effectuate any Transfer of Private Placement Warrants or Common Stock underlying such warrants, until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 2, 3 and 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants, shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants, Private Placement Shares or shares of Common Stock underlying the Rights included in the Forward Purchase Units (as defined below) are permitted (a) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors or any affiliates of the Sponsors and Insiders; (b) in the case of an individual or an entity controlled by an officer or director of the Company, by a gift to a member of the individual’s, officer’s or director’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the individual’s, officer’s or director’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally purchased; (f) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of a Business Combination; (g) by virtue of the laws of Delaware or any of the Sponsors’ limited liability company operating agreements upon dissolution of such Sponsor; or (h) in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (e) and (g), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Macquarie Sponsor withholds consent to consummate a Business Combination because of regulatory reasons or the Business Combination involves a competitor of the Macquarie Sponsor, its affiliates, or an entity in which the Macquarie Sponsor or an affiliate has an equity interest, then the Macquarie Sponsor shall be permitted to sell or transfer its Private Placement Warrants and Founder Shares; provided, that the transferee agrees to be bound by the transfer restrictions, lock-up provisions, voting obligations, registration rights, and other such restrictions and rights of the transferred Private Placement Warrants and Founder Shares, and the term of the Macquarie Sponsor’s nominee shall automatically terminate and such board seat shall remain vacant until filled by a successor duly appointed by our Hydra Sponsor.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under  Section 4.1  hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action;  provided ,  however , that the liability of any Holder under this  subsection 4.1.5  shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in  subsections 4.1.1 ,  4.1.2  and  4.1.3  above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this  subsection 4.1.5  were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this  subsection 4.1.5 . No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this  subsection 4.1.5  from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

D.  Governmental Consents . No permit, consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration to or filing with, any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or the consummation by the Company of any other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.  As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and issue and sell the Placement Warrants to the Purchasers, each of the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants to the Company (which representations and warranties shall survive the Closing Dates) that:

A.  Organization and Requisite Authority . The Purchaser possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

B.  Authorization; No Breach .

(i) This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

(ii) The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the terms hereof by the Purchaser does not and shall not as of the Closing Dates conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject.

C.  Investment Representations .

(i) The Purchaser is acquiring the Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof; provided, however, that A. Lorne Weil has granted an option to Jeffrey S. Lipkin to acquire up to 450,000 Placement Warrants (or up to 517,500 Placement Warrants if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) at a price of $0.50 per Placement Warrant from the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination until 90 days after the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination.

 (ii) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

(iii) The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.

(iv) The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).

(v) The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.

(vi) The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

(vii) The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser understands that the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after a Business Combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

  (viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investments in the Securities.

Section 4. Conditions of the Purchasers’ Obligations.  The obligations of the Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Placement Warrants are subject to the fulfillment, on or before the Closing Dates, of each of the following conditions:

A.  Representations and Warranties . The representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2 shall be true and correct at and as of the Closing Dates as though then made.

B.  Performance . The Company shall have performed and complied with all agreements, obligations and conditions contained in this Agreement that are required to be performed or complied with by it on or before the Closing Dates.

C.  No Injunction . No litigation, statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by or in any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having authority over the matters contemplated hereby, which prohibits the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Warrant Agreement.

D.  Warrant Agreement . The Company shall have entered into a Warrant Agreement with a warrant agent on terms satisfactory to the Purchasers.

E. Public Offering .

(i) With respect to the Closing Date, the Company shall have consummated the Public Offering.

(ii) With respect to the Over-allotment Closing Date, the Company shall have consummated the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering, without regard to the extent to which the over-allotment option is exercised.

E.  Warrant Agreement . The Company shall have entered into a Warrant Agreement with a warrant agent on terms satisfactory to the Company.

Section 6. Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time after March 31, 2015 upon the election by either the Company or any Purchasers entitled to purchase at least 40% of the Placement Warrants upon written notice to the other parties if the closing of the Public Offering does not occur prior to such date.

Section 7. Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All of the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing Dates.

Section 8. Definitions.  Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the registration statement on Form S-1 the Company plans to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the Securities Act.

Section 9. Miscellaneous.

A.  Successors and Assigns . Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the parties may not assign this Agreement, other than assignments by the Purchasers to affiliates thereof.

B.  Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

Re: Administrative Services Agreement

Gentlemen:

This letter will confirm our agreement that, commencing on the date the securities of Hydra Industries Acquisition Corp. (the “ Company ”) are first listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market (the “ Listing Date ”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 and prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Registration Statement ”) and continuing until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation (in each case as described in the Registration Statement) (such earlier date hereinafter referred to as the “ Termination Date ”), Lorne Weil, Inc., an affiliate of Hydra Industries Sponsor LLC, shall make available to the Company, at 3 Columbus Circle, 16 ^th Floor, New York, NY 10019 (or any successor location), certain office space, utilities, and general office, receptionist and secretarial support as may be reasonably required by the Company.  In exchange therefor, the Company shall pay Lorne Weil, Inc. the sum of $10,000 per month commencing on the Listing Date and continuing monthly thereafter until the Termination Date.

Lorne Weil, Inc. hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title, interest, causes of action and claims of any kind (each, a “ Claim ”) in or to, and any and all right to seek payment of any amounts due to it out of, the trust account established for the benefit of the public shareholders of the Company and into which substantially all of the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering will be deposited (the “ Trust Account ”), and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this agreement, which Claim would reduce, encumber or otherwise adversely affect the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account, and further agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction of any Claim against the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

This letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of its subject matter and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.

This letter agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

No party hereto may assign either this letter agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party, provided that Lorne Weil, Inc. may assign this letter agreement to an affiliate without the prior written approval of the Company. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee.

This letter agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.

Exhibit 10.12

Hydra Industries Acquisition Corp.

3 Columbus Circle, 16 ^th Floor

New York, NY 10019

October 24, 2014

MIHI LLC

125 West 55 ^th Street

New York, NY 10019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are pleased to accept the offer MIHI LLC (the “ Subscriber ” or “ you ”) has made to purchase an aggregate of (i) 2,000,000 units (the “ Units ”) of Hydra Industries Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), each Unit comprising one share of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“ Common Stock ” or “ Share ”), one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a Share (“ Right ”) and one warrant to purchase one-half of one Share (“ Warrant ”) and (ii) 500,000 Shares (the “ Founder Shares ”), for an aggregate purchase price of $20,004,347.83. The Units, Shares, Rights, Warrants and Founder Shares, collectively, are hereinafter referred to as the “ Securities ”. Each holder of Rights will receive one-tenth (1/10) of a Share per Right upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (the “ Business Combination ”). For example, if Subscriber holds ten Rights, Subscriber would receive one share of Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination pursuant to the ten Rights. Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one-half of one Share at an exercise price of $5.75 per half Share during the period commencing on the later of (i) twelve (12) months from the date of the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of units, each comprising one share of Common Stock, one Warrant and one Right (the “ IPO ”) and (ii) thirty (30) days following the consummation of the Business Combination and expiring on the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the Business Combination. Warrants must be exercised for one whole share of Common Stock. For example, if Subscriber holds two Warrants, such Warrants will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a Share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the warrant holder. The terms (this “ Agreement ”) on which the Company is willing to sell the Securities to the Subscriber, and the Company and the Subscriber’s agreements regarding such Securities, are as follows:

1. Purchase of the Securities . For the sum of $20,004,347.83 (the “ Purchase Price ”), the Company agrees to sell the Securities to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber hereby agrees to purchase the Securities from the Company, subject to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements .

2.1 Subscriber’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements . To induce the Company to issue the Securities to the Subscriber, the Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company and agrees with the Company as follows:

2.1.1 No Government Recommendation or Approval . The Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Securities.

2.1.2 No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Subscriber of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the formation and governing documents of the Subscriber, (ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Subscriber is a party, (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Subscriber is subject, or (iv) any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Subscriber is subject.

2.1.3 Organization and Authority . The Subscriber is a Delaware limited liability company, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon execution and delivery by you, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

2.1.4 Experience, Financial Capability and Suitability . Subscriber is: (i) sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Securities and (ii) able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act (as defined below) and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Subscriber must bear the economic risk of this investment until the Securities are sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from registration available with respect to such sale. Subscriber is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Securities and to afford a complete loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Securities.

2.1.5 Access to Information; Independent Investigation . Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Subscriber has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning an investment in the Company, as well as the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company, and the opportunity to obtain additional information to verify the accuracy of all information so obtained. In determining whether to make this investment, Subscriber has relied solely on Subscriber’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon Subscriber’s own due diligence investigation and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph. Subscriber understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations which were not furnished pursuant to this Section 2 and Subscriber has not relied on any other representations or information in making its investment decision, whether written or oral, relating to the Company, its operations and/or its prospects.

2.1.6 Regulation D Offering . Subscriber represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) and acknowledges the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Section 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or similar exemptions under state law.

2.1.7 Investment Purposes . The Subscriber is purchasing the Securities solely for investment purposes, for the Subscriber’s own account and not for the account or benefit of any other person, and not with a view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof. The Subscriber did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act.

2.1.8 Restrictions on Transfer; Shell Company . Subscriber understands the Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act. Subscriber understands the Securities will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and Subscriber understands that any certificates representing the Securities will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions. If in the future the Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities, such Securities may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only pursuant to: (i) registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) an available exemption from registration. Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Securities or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Subscriber may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company. Absent registration or an exemption, the Subscriber agrees not to resell the Securities. Subscriber further acknowledges that because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available to the Subscriber for the resale of the Securities until one (1) year following consummation of the Business Combination, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.

2.1.9 No Governmental Consents . No governmental, administrative or other third party consents or approvals are required, necessary or appropriate on the part of Subscriber in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than the filing of a Form D with the Securities and Exchange Commission and such state Blue Sky, FINRA and NASDAQ consents and approvals as may be required.

2.2 Company’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements . To induce the Subscriber to purchase the Securities, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Subscriber and agrees with the Subscriber as follows:

2.2.1 Organization and Corporate Power . The Company is a Delaware corporation and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets of the Company. The Company possesses all requisite corporate power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.2.2 No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, (ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject, or (iv) any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject.

2.2.3 Title to Securities . Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof, the Securities will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof the Subscriber will have or receive good title to the Securities, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, other than (a) transfer restrictions under federal and state securities laws, and (b) liens, claims or encumbrances imposed due to the actions of the Subscriber. The Company will reserve sufficient Shares to permit full exercise of the Warrants.

2.2.4 No Adverse Actions . There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending, threatened against or affecting the Company which: (i) seek to restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of or otherwise affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) question the validity or legality of any transactions or seeks to recover damages or to obtain other relief in connection with any transactions.

2.2.5 Authorization . All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Securities, the performance of all obligations of the Company required pursuant thereto, and the authorization, issuance (or reservation for issuance) of the Securities, has been taken. This Agreement constitutes and, when issued, the Units, Rights and Warrants will constitute, valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable remedies and (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting creditors’ rights.

2.2.6 Capitalization . The authorized capital stock of the Company on the date hereof, consists of 29,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 2,300,000 shares of which are issued and outstanding, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no shares of which are issued and outstanding. All issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (a) have been duly authorized and validly issued, and (b) are fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Common Stock are as stated in the Certificate of Incorporation currently on file with the Delaware Secretary of State.

The settlement of the contingent forward purchase contract for the purchase and sale of the Securities hereunder (the “ Closing ”) shall be held at the same date and time as the closing of the Business Combination (the date of the Closing being referred to as the “ Closing Date ”). At the Closing, the Company will issue to the Subscriber the Units (which includes 2,000,000 Rights which will at the Closing be concurrently exchanged for 200,000 shares of Common Stock) and the Founder Shares, each registered in the name of the Subscriber, against delivery of the aggregate purchase price of $20,004,347.83 in cash via a wire to an account specified in writing by the Company no later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing.

4.3 The Units and their component parts will be substantially identical to the units to be offered in the IPO except that the Units and component parts are being purchased pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable only after they are registered pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to be signed on or before the date of the Company’s registration statement to be filed in connection with the IPO, as amended at the time it becomes effective (the “ Registration Statement ”).

5. Restrictions on Transfer .

5.1 Securities Law Restrictions . In addition to any restrictions to be contained in that certain letter agreement (commonly known as an “ Insider Letter ”) dated as of the closing of the IPO by and between Subscriber and the Company and subject to the exceptions contained in Section 9(a) thereof, Subscriber agrees not to, except to an affiliate of the Subscriber, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Securities unless, prior thereto (a) a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to the Securities proposed to be transferred shall then be effective or (b) the Company has received an opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration is not required because such transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and with all applicable state securities laws.

5.2 Lock up . Subscriber acknowledges that the Founder Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Rights included in the Units will be subject to lock up provisions (the “ Lock up ”) contained in the Insider Letter. Pursuant to the Insider Letter and subject to the exceptions contained therein, Subscriber will agree not to, except to an affiliate of the Subscriber, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Founder Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Rights included in the Units until the earlier to occur of: (a) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) the date following the completion of a Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Subscriber withholds consent to consummate a Business Combination because of regulatory reasons or the Business Combination involves a competitor to Subscriber, its affiliates, or an entity in which Subscriber or an affiliate has an equity interest, then Subscriber shall be permitted to sell or transfer its Founder Shares and warrants pursuant to Section 3 of that certain Agreement Among Sponsors, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Subscriber, the Company, Hydra Industries Sponsor LLC and A. Lorne Weil. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale 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, the Founder Shares will be released from the Lock up.

5.3 Restrictive Legends . All certificates representing the Securities shall have endorsed thereon legends substantially as follows:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, IS AVAILABLE.”

All certificates representing the Common Stock shall have endorsed thereon legends substantially as follows:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCKUP SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT DATED OCTOBER 24, 2014 BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSCRIBER AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED DURING THE TERM OF THE LOCKUP EXCEPT PURSUANT TO ITS TERMS.”

5.4 Additional Units or Substituted Securities . In the event of the declaration of a share dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Common Stock, a spin-off, a share split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding Common Stock without receipt of consideration (other than those occurring at the time of the IPO in connection with a change in the size of the offering), any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Securities subject to this Section 5.4 or into which such Securities thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 5.4 and Section 3. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of Securities subject to this Section 5.4 and Section 3. The Securities shall not be subject to forfeiture upon failure of the underwriters to exercise their over-allotment option in the IPO.

5.5 Registration Rights . Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Rights are being purchased pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable only after certain conditions are met or they are registered pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into with the Company prior to the closing of the IPO which shall be on the same terms as such registration rights granted to Hydra Industries Sponsor LLC.

6.9 Severability . In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision, or any portion thereof, contained in this Agreement shall be unreasonable or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be deemed limited to the extent that such court deems it reasonable and enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect.

6.10 No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies .
