This letter is being delivered to

between Healthcare Acquisition Partners Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the “ Company ”), and FTN
Midwest Securities Corp., as Representative (the “
Representative ”) of the Underwriters named in
Schedule I thereto (the “ Underwriters
”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the

(the “ Units ”), each comprised of one
share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share (the “ Common Stock ”), and two
warrants, each being exercisable for one share of Common Stock
(each, a “ Warrant ”). The capitalized
terms set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto are hereby
incorporated by reference herein.

any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as a
result of any claim by any vendor that is owed money by the Company
for services rendered or products sold or any claims of any
prospective target with which the Company entered into a written
letter of intent, confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement with
respect to a failed Business Combination with such prospective
target but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount in
