STOCK"), and two warrants ("WARRANT(S)") expiring four years from the effective
date ("EFFECTIVE DATE") of the registration statement ("REGISTRATION STATEMENT")
pursuant to which Units are offered for sale to the public ("OFFERING"). Each
Warrant is the same as the warrants included in the Units being registered for
sale to the public by way of the Registration Statement ("PUBLIC WARRANTS"). If
the Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law
to close, then this Purchase Option may be exercised on the next succeeding day
which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein. During the period
ending on the Expiration Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that
would terminate the Purchase Option. This Purchase Option is initially
exercisable at $____ per Unit so purchased; provided, however, that




upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 6 hereof, the
rights granted by this Purchase Option, including the exercise price per Unit
and the number of Units (and shares of Common Stock and Warrants) to be received
upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as therein specified. The term "Exercise
Price" shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price,
depending on the context.

2.    EXERCISE.

      2.1   Exercise Form. In order to exercise this Purchase Option, the
exercise form attached hereto must be duly executed and completed and delivered
to the Company, together with this Purchase Option and payment of the Exercise
Price for the Units being purchased payable in cash or by certified check or
official bank check. If the subscription rights represented hereby shall not be
exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City local time, on the Expiration
Date this Purchase Option shall become and be void without further force or
effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.

      2.2   Legend. Each certificate for the securities purchased under this
Purchase Option shall bear a legend as follows unless such securities have been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("ACT"):

            "The securities represented by this certificate have not been
            registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") or
            applicable state law. The securities may not be offered for sale,
            sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective
            registration statement under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption
            from registration under the Act and applicable state law."

      2.3   Cashless Exercise.

            2.3.1   Determination of Amount. In lieu of the payment of the
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Units for which this Purchase Option
is exercisable (and in lieu of being entitled to receive Common Stock and
Warrants) in the manner required by Section 2.1, the Holder shall have the right
(but not the obligation) to convert any exercisable but unexercised portion of
this Purchase Option into Units ("CASHLESS EXERCISE RIGHT") as follows: upon
exercise of the Cashless Exercise Right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder
(without payment by the Holder of any of the Exercise Price in cash) that number
of Units (or that number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants comprising that
number of Units) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the "Value" (as
defined below) of the portion of the Purchase Option being converted by (y) the
Current Market Value (as defined below). The "Value" of the portion of the
Purchase Option being converted shall equal the remainder derived from
subtracting (a) (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Units
underlying the portion of this Purchase Option being converted from (b) the
Current Market Value of a Unit multiplied by the number of Units underlying the
portion of the Purchase Option being converted. As used herein, the term
"Current Market Value" per Unit at any date means: (A) in the event that neither
the Units nor Public Warrants are still trading, the remainder derived from
subtracting (x) the exercise price of the Warrants multiplied by the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants underlying one
Unit from (y) (i) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock multiplied by
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying one Unit, which shall


                                        2



include the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants included in such
Unit; (B) in the event that the Units, Common Stock and Public Warrants are
still trading, (i) if the Units are listed on a national securities exchange or
quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or NASD OTC
Bulletin Board (or successor exchange), the last sale price of the Units in the
principal trading market for the Units as reported by the exchange, Nasdaq or
the NASD, as the case may be, on the last trading day preceding the date in
question; or (ii) if the Units are not listed on a national securities exchange
or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the NASD OTC
Bulletin Board (or successor exchange), but is traded in the residual
over-the-counter market, the closing bid price for Units on the last trading day
preceding the date in question for which such quotations are reported by the
Pink Sheets, LLC or similar publisher of such quotations; and (C) in the event
that the Units are not still trading but the Common Stock and Public Warrants
underlying the Units are still trading, the Current Market Price of the Common
Stock plus the product of (x) the Current Market Price of the Public Warrants
and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants included in
one Unit. The "Current Market Price" shall mean (i) if the Common Stock (or
Public Warrants, as the case may be) is listed on a national securities exchange
or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or NASD OTC
Bulletin Board (or successor exchange), the last sale price of the Common Stock
(or Public Warrants) in the principal trading market for the Common Stock as
reported by the exchange, Nasdaq or the NASD, as the case may be, on the last
trading day preceding the date in question; (ii) if the Common Stock (or Public
Warrants, as the case may be) is not listed on a national securities exchange or
quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the NASD OTC
Bulletin Board (or successor exchange), but is traded in the residual
over-the-counter market, the closing bid price for the Common Stock (or Public
Warrants) on the last trading day preceding the date in question for which such
quotations are reported by the Pink Sheets, LLC or similar publisher of such
quotations; and (iii) if the fair market value of the Common Stock cannot be
determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, such price as the Board of
Directors of the Company shall determine, in good faith. In the event the Public
Warrants have expired and are no longer exercisable, no "Value" shall be
attributed to the Warrants underlying this Purchase Option. Additionally, in the
event that this Purchase Option is exercised pursuant to this Section 2.3 and
the Public Warrants are still trading, the "Value" shall be reduced by the
difference between the Warrant Exercise Price and the exercise price of the
Public Warrants multiplied by the number of Warrants underlying the Units
included in the portion of this Purchase Option being converted.

            2.3.1   Mechanics of Cashless Exercise. The Cashless Exercise Right
may be exercised by the Holder on any business day on or after the Commencement
Date and not later than the Expiration Date by delivering the Purchase Option
with the duly executed exercise form attached hereto with the cashless exercise
section completed to the Company, exercising the Cashless Exercise Right and
specifying the total number of Units the Holder will purchase pursuant to such
Cashless Exercise Right.

      2.4   No Obligation to Net Cash Settle. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Purchase Option, in no event will the Company be
required to net cash settle the exercise of the Purchase Option or the Warrants
underlying the Purchase Option. The holder of the Purchase Option and the
Warrants underlying the Purchase Option will not be entitled to exercise the
Purchase Option or the Warrants underlying such Purchase Option unless a
registration statement is effective, or an exemption from the registration
requirements is


                                        3



available at such time and, if the holder is not able to exercise the Purchase
Option or underlying Warrants, the Purchase Option and/or the underlying
Warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.

3. TRANSFER.

      3.1   General Restrictions. The registered Holder of this Purchase Option,
by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge
or hypothecate this Purchase Option for a period of one year following the
Effective Date to anyone other than (i) EBC or an underwriter or selected dealer
in connection with the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of EBC
or of any such underwriter or selected dealer. On and after the first
anniversary of the Effective Date, transfers to others may be made subject to
compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws. In order to make
any permitted assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment
form attached hereto duly executed and completed, together with the Purchase
Option and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection
therewith. The Company shall within five business days transfer this Purchase
Option on the books of the Company and shall execute and deliver a new Purchase
Option or Purchase Options of like tenor to the appropriate assignee(s)
expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of Units
purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as shall be contemplated by
any such assignment.

      3.2   Restrictions Imposed by the Act. The securities evidenced by this
Purchase Option shall not be transferred unless and until (i) the Company has
received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that the securities may be
transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and
applicable state securities laws, the availability of which is established to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Company (the Company hereby agreeing that the
opinion of Graubard Miller shall be deemed satisfactory evidence of the
availability of an exemption), or (ii) a registration statement or a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement relating to such
securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") and compliance with
applicable state securities law has been established.

4.    NEW PURCHASE OPTIONS TO BE ISSUED.

      4.1   Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section
3 hereof, this Purchase Option may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part.
In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender
of this Purchase Option for cancellation, together with the duly executed
exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price
and/or transfer tax, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder
without charge a new Purchase Option of like tenor to this Purchase Option in
the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number
of Units purchasable hereunder as to which this Purchase Option has not been
exercised or assigned.

      4.2   Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Purchase Option and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of
a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Option of like
tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Option executed and delivered as a result


                                        4



of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute
contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

5.    REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

      5.1   Demand Registration.

            5.1.1   Grant of Right. The Company, upon written demand ("INITIAL
DEMAND NOTICE") of the Holder(s) of at least 51% of the Purchase Options and/or
the underlying Units and/or the underlying securities ("MAJORITY HOLDERS"),
agrees to use its best efforts to register (the "DEMAND REGISTRATION") under the
Act on one occasion, all or any portion of the Purchase Options requested by the
Majority Holders in the Initial Demand Notice and all of the securities
underlying such Purchase Options, including the Units, Common Stock, the
Warrants and the Common Stock underlying the Warrants (collectively, the
"REGISTRABLE SECURITIES"). On such occasion, the Company will use its best
efforts to file a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities within sixty days
after receipt of the Initial Demand Notice and use its best efforts to have such
registration statement or post-effective amendment declared effective as soon as
possible thereafter. The demand for registration may be made at any time during
a period of five years beginning on the Effective Date. The Initial Demand
Notice shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to
be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will
notify all holders of the Purchase Options and/or Registrable Securities of the
demand within ten days from the date of the receipt of any such Initial Demand
Notice. Each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a
portion of such holder's Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each
such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a
"DEMANDING HOLDER") shall so notify the Company within fifteen (15) days after
the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request,
the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities
included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 5.1.4.

            5.1.2   Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a
Demand Registration until the registration statement filed with the Commission
with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the
Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with
respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such registration statement
has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to
a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the
Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the registration statement
with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been
declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is
removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of
the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering.

            5.1.3   Underwritten Offering. If the Majority Holders so elect and
such holders so advise the Company as part of the Initial Demand Notice, the
offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration
shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of
any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be
conditioned upon such holder's participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the
extent provided herein. All


                                        5



Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Majority
Holders.

            5.1.4   Reduction of Offering. If the managing underwriter or
underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering
advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount
or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire
to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other
securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if
any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual
piggy-back registration rights held by other stockholders of the Company who
desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares
that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed
offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of
success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of
shares, as applicable, the "MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES"), then the Company shall
include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which
Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in
accordance with the number of shares that each such Person has requested be
included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each
such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as "PRO RATA")) that can be
sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent
that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing
clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company
desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares;
(iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been
reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or
other securities registrable pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement between the Company and the initial investors in the Company, dated as
of _____________ __, 2006 (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT" and such
registrable securities, the "INVESTOR SECURITIES") as to which "piggy-back"
registration has been requested by the holders thereof, Pro Rata, that can be
sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iv) fourth, to the
extent that the Maximum Number of Shares have not been reached under the
foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), the shares of Common Stock or other
securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to
register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons and that
can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

            5.1.5   Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding
Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to
include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such
majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such
offering by giving written notice to the Company and the underwriter or
underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the
registration statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand
Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws
from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then the Company
does not have to continue its obligations under Section 5.1 with respect to such
proposed offering.

            5.1.6   Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses
attendant to registering the Registrable Securities, including the expenses of
any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with
the sale of the Registrable Securities, but the


                                        6



Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions. The Company agrees to
use its reasonable best efforts to qualify or register the Registrable
Securities in such states as are reasonably requested by the Majority Holder(s);
provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register
the Registrable Securities in a state in which such registration would cause (i)
the Company to be obligated to qualify to do business in such state, or would
subject the Company to taxation as a foreign corporation doing business in such
jurisdiction or (ii) the principal stockholders of the Company to be obligated
to escrow their shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company shall use
its best efforts to cause any registration statement or post-effective amendment
filed pursuant to the demand rights granted under Section 5.1.1 to remain
effective for a period of nine consecutive months from the effective date of
such registration statement or post-effective amendment.

      5.2   Piggy-Back Registration.

            5.2.1   Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time during the seven year
period commencing on the Effective Date the Company proposes to file a
registration statement under the Act with respect to an offering of equity
securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for,
or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or
for stockholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by
stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section
5.1), other than a registration statement (i) filed in connection with any
employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or
offering of securities solely to the Company's existing stockholders, (iii) for
an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or
(iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written
notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon
as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated
filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be
included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name
of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering,
and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the
opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable
Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following
receipt of such notice (a "PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION"). The Company shall cause
such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use
its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed
underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be
included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any
similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of
such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of
distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to
distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an
underwriter or underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back
Registration.

            5.2.2   Reduction of Offering. If the managing underwriter or
underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten
offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in
writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock which the
Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock, if any, as
to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual
arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities
hereunder, the


                                        7



Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this
Section 5.2, and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration
has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration
rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of
Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:

                  (a)  If the registration is undertaken for the Company's
account: (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the
Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been
reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other
securities, if any, comprised of Registrable Securities and Investor Securities,
as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written
contractual piggy-back registration rights of such security holders, Pro Rata,
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) third,
to the extent that the Maximum Number of shares has not been reached under the
foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities
for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register
pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons
and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares;

                  (b)  If the registration is a "demand" registration undertaken
at the demand of holders of Investor Securities, (A) first, the shares of Common
Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding persons, Pro Rata,
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to
the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the
foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the
Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been
reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Registrable
Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to
the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not
been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common
Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is
obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such
persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and

                  (c)  If the registration is a "demand" registration undertaken
at the demand of persons other than either the holders of Registrable Securities
or of Investor Securities, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other
securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without
exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the
Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A),
the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to
the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the
foregoing clauses (A) and (B), collectively the shares of Common Stock or other
securities comprised of Registrable Securities and Investor Securities, Pro
Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof
and of the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, that can be sold

                                        8



that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual
arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Shares.

            5.2.3   Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect
to withdraw such holder's request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any
Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request
to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. The
Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by
persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may
withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the
registration statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall
pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection
with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 5.2.4.

            5.2.4   Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses
attendant to registering the Registrable Securities, including the expenses of
any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with
the sale of the Registrable Securities but the Holders shall pay any and all
underwriting commissions related to the Registrable Securities. In the event of
such a proposed registration, the Company shall furnish the then Holders of
outstanding Registrable Securities with not less than fifteen days written
notice prior to the proposed date of filing of such registration statement. Such
notice to the Holders shall continue to be given for each applicable
registration statement filed (during the period in which the Purchase Option is
exercisable) by the Company until such time as all of the Registrable Securities
have been registered and sold. The Holders of the Registrable Securities shall
exercise the "piggy-back" rights provided for herein by giving written notice,
within ten days of the receipt of the Company's notice of its intention to file
a registration statement. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any
registration statement filed pursuant to the above "piggyback" rights to remain
effective for at least nine months from the date that the Holders of the
Registrable Securities are first given the opportunity to sell all of such
securities.

      5.3   Intentionally Omitted.

      5.4   General Terms.

            5.4.1   Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s)
of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration statement
hereunder and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended ("EXCHANGE ACT"), against all loss, claim, damage, expense or
liability (including all reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against litigation,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever whether arising out of any
action between the underwriter and the Company or between the underwriter and
any third party or otherwise) to which any of them may become subject under the
Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but
only to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to
which the Company has agreed to indemnify the underwriters contained in Section
5 of the Underwriting Agreement between the Company, EBC and the other
underwriters named therein dated the Effective Date. The Holder(s) of the
Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement, and
their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly,


                                        9



indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section
20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability
(including all reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses reasonably incurred
in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which
they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising
from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors
or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in such registration statement to
the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions contained in Section
5 of the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed
to indemnify the Company.

            5.4.2   Exercise of Purchase Options. Nothing contained in this
Purchase Option shall be construed as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their
Purchase Options or Warrants underlying such Purchase Options prior to or after
the initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.

            5.4.3   Documents Delivered to Holders. The Company shall furnish
EBC, as representative of the Holders participating in any of the foregoing
offerings, a signed counterpart, addressed to the participating Holders, of (i)
an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such
registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten
public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under any underwriting
agreement related thereto), and (ii) a "cold comfort" letter dated the effective
date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an
underwritten public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the
underwriting agreement) signed by the independent public accountants who have
issued a report on the Company's financial statements included in such
registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters
with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included
therein) and, in the case of such accountants' letter, with respect to events
subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered
in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities. The Company shall
also deliver promptly to EBC, as representative of the Holders participating in
the offering, the correspondence and memoranda described below and copies of all
correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors
and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with
respect to the registration statement and permit EBC, as representative of the
Holders, to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect
to information contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it
deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). Such
investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and
opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and
independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times
and as often as EBC, as representative of the Holders, shall reasonably request.
The Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information or
other records to EBC, as representative of the Holders, or to any other person,
until and unless such persons shall have entered into reasonable confidentiality
agreements (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company), with
the Company with respect thereto.

            5.4.4   Underwriting Agreement. The Company shall enter into an
underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter(s), if any, selected by any
Holders whose Registrable


                                       10



Securities are being registered pursuant to this Section 5, which managing
underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such agreement shall
be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each Holder and
such managing underwriters, and shall contain such representations, warranties
and covenants by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained
in agreements of that type used by the managing underwriter. The Holders shall
be parties to any underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten sale of
their Registrable Securities and may, at their option, require that any or all
the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the
benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such
Holders. Such Holders shall not be required to make any representations or
warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters except as they
may relate to such Holders and their intended methods of distribution. Such
Holders, however, shall agree to such covenants and indemnification and
contribution obligations for selling stockholders as are customarily contained
in agreements of that type used by the managing underwriter. Further, such
Holders shall execute appropriate custody agreements and otherwise cooperate
fully in the preparation of the registration statement and other documents
relating to any offering in which they include securities pursuant to this
Section 5. Each Holder shall also furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method
of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the
registration of the Registrable Securities.

            5.4.5   Rule 144 Sale. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section 5 to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation pursuant to
Sections 5.1 or 5.2 to use its best efforts to obtain the registration of
Registrable Securities held by any Holder (i) where such Holder would then be
entitled to sell under Rule 144 within any three-month period (or such other
period prescribed under Rule 144 as may be provided by amendment thereof) all of
the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder, and (ii) where the number
of Registrable Securities held by such Holder is within the volume limitations
under paragraph (e) of Rule 144 (calculated as if such Holder were an affiliate
within the meaning of Rule 144).

            5.4.6   Supplemental Prospectus. Each Holder agrees, that upon
receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in the registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, such Holder
will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to
the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such
Holder's receipt of the copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus, and, if
so desired by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the
expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of
such destruction) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such
Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice.

6.    ADJUSTMENTS.

      6.1   Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise
Price and the number of Units underlying the Purchase Option shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:


                                       11



            6.1.1   Stock Dividends - Split-Ups. If after the date hereof, and
subject to the provisions of Section 6.4 below, the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common
Stock or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then,
on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying
each of the Units purchasable hereunder shall be increased in proportion to such
increase in outstanding shares. In such case, the number of shares of Common
Stock, and the exercise price applicable thereto, underlying the Warrants
underlying each of the Units purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted in
accordance with the terms of the Warrants. For example, if the Company declares
a two-for-one stock dividend and at the time of such dividend this Purchase
Option is for the purchase of one Unit at $6.00 per whole Unit (each Warrant
underlying the Units is exercisable for $5.00 per share), upon effectiveness of
the dividend, this Purchase Option will be adjusted to allow for the purchase of
one Unit at $6.00 per Unit, each Unit entitling the holder to receive two shares
of Common Stock and four Warrants (each Warrant exercisable for $2.50 per
share).

            6.1.2   Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject
to the provisions of Section 6.4, the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares
of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the
number of shares of Common Stock underlying each of the Units purchasable
hereunder shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding
shares. In such case, the number of shares of Common Stock, and the exercise
price applicable thereto, underlying the Warrants underlying each of the Units
purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the
Warrants.

            6.1.3   Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case
of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 hereof or that
solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock, or in the case of
any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation
(other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is
dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase Option shall have the right thereafter
(until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Option) to
receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable
hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of
stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such
reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution
following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Option and
the underlying Warrants immediately prior to such event; and if any
reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by
Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections
6.1.1, 6.1.2 and this Section 6.1.3. The provisions of this Section 6.1.3 shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or
consolidations, sales or other transfers.

            6.1.4   Changes in Form of Purchase Option. This form of Purchase
Option need not be changed because of any change pursuant to this Section, and
Purchase Options issued


                                       12



after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Units
as are stated in the Purchase Options initially issued pursuant to this
Agreement. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Purchase Options
reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any
rights to an adjustment occurring after the Commencement Date or the computation
thereof.

      6.2   [Intentionally Omitted]

      6.3   Substitute Purchase Option. In case of any consolidation of the
Company with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result
in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), the
corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to
the Holder a supplemental Purchase Option providing that the holder of each
Purchase Option then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right
thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Option) to receive,
upon exercise of such Purchase Option, the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or merger,
by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for which
such Purchase Option might have been exercised immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Option shall
provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in
Section 6. The above provision of this Section shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations or mergers.

      6.4   Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be
required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock
or Warrants upon the exercise of the Purchase Option, nor shall it be required
to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the
intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by
rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of Warrants, shares of
Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights.

7.    RESERVATION AND LISTING. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose
of issuance upon exercise of the Purchase Options or the Warrants underlying the
Purchase Option, such number of shares of Common Stock or other securities,
properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company
covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Purchase Options and payment of
the Exercise Price therefor, all shares of Common Stock and other securities
issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any stockholder. The
Company further covenants and agrees that upon exercise of the Warrants
underlying the Purchase Options and payment of the respective Warrant exercise
price therefor, all shares of Common Stock and other securities issuable upon
such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
and not subject to preemptive rights of any stockholder. As long as the Purchase
Options shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause
all (i) Units and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Purchase
Options, (iii) Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Options and (iv)
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants included in the
Units issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Option to be listed (subject to
official notice of issuance) on all securities exchanges (or, if applicable on
the Nasdaq National Market, SmallCap Market, OTC Bulletin Board or any successor
trading market) on which the Units, the Common


                                       13



Stock or the Public Warrants issued to the public in connection herewith may
then be listed and/or quoted.

8.    CERTAIN NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.

      8.1   Holder's Right to Receive Notice. Nothing herein shall be construed
as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or consent as a stockholder for
the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights
whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to
the expiration of the Purchase Options and their exercise, any of the events
described in Section 8.2 shall occur, then, in one or more of said events, the
Company shall give written notice of such event at least fifteen days prior to
the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for
the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution,
conversion or exchange of securities or subscription rights, or entitled to vote
on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall
specify such record date or the date of the closing of the transfer books, as
the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to
each Holder a copy of each notice given to the other stockholders of the Company
at the same time and in the same manner that such notice is given to the
stockholders.

      8.2   Events Requiring Notice. The Company shall be required to give the
notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more of the following events: (i)
if the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable
otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise
than out of retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such
dividend or distribution on the books of the Company, or (ii) the Company shall
offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of capital
stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares
of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe
therefor, or (iii) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or
substantially all of its property, assets and business shall be proposed.

      8.3   Notice of Change in Exercise Price. The Company shall, promptly
after an event requiring a change in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6
hereof, send notice to the Holders of such event and change ("PRICE NOTICE").
The Price Notice shall describe the event causing the change and the method of
calculating same and shall be certified as being true and accurate by the
Company's President and Chief Financial Officer.

      8.4   Transmittal of Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications under this Purchase Option shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly made when hand delivered, or mailed by express mail or
private courier service: (i) if to the registered Holder of the Purchase Option,
to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, or (ii) if
to the Company, to the following address or to such other address as the Company
may designate by notice to the Holders:


                                       14



                       China Opportunity Acquisition Corp.
                       354 East 50th Street
                       New York, New York 10022
                       Attn:   Chairman

9.    MISCELLANEOUS.

      9.1   Amendments. The Company and EBC may from time to time supplement or
amend this Purchase Option without the approval of any of the Holders in order
to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision contained herein
that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein, or to
make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder
that the Company and EBC may deem necessary or desirable and that the Company
and EBC deem shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders. All other
modifications or amendments shall require the written consent of and be signed
by the party against whom enforcement of the modification or amendment is
sought.

      9.2   Headings. The headings contained herein are for the sole purpose of
convenience of reference, and shall not in any way limit or affect the meaning
or interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Purchase Option.

      9.3   Entire Agreement. This Purchase Option (together with the other
agreements and documents being delivered pursuant to or in connection with this
Purchase Option) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings of the parties, oral and written, with respect to the subject
matter hereof.

      9.4   Binding Effect. This Purchase Option shall inure solely to the
benefit of and shall be binding upon, the Holder and the Company and their
permitted assignees, respective successors, legal representative and assigns,
and no other person shall have or be construed to have any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or in respect of or by virtue of this Purchase
Option or any provisions herein contained.

      9.5   Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Purchase Option
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict of laws. The Company
hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of, or
relating in any way to this Purchase Option shall be brought and enforced in the
courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the
Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction,
which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The Company hereby waives any objection
to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient
forum. Any process or summons to be served upon the Company may be served by
transmitting a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed to it at the address set forth in Section
8 hereof. Such mailing shall be deemed personal service and shall be legal and
binding upon the Company in any action, proceeding or claim. The Company and the
Holder agree that the prevailing party(ies) in any such action shall be entitled
to recover from the other party(ies) all of its


                                       15



reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses relating to such action or proceeding
and/or incurred in connection with the preparation therefor.

      9.6   Waiver, Etc. The failure of the Company or the Holder to at any time
enforce any of the provisions of this Purchase Option shall not be deemed or
construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor to in any way affect the
validity of this Purchase Option or any provision hereof or the right of the
Company or any Holder to thereafter enforce each and every provision of this
Purchase Option. No waiver of any breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment of
any of the provisions of this Purchase Option shall be effective unless set
forth in a written instrument executed by the party or parties against whom or
which enforcement of such waiver is sought; and no waiver of any such breach,
non-compliance or non- fulfillment shall be construed or deemed to be a waiver
of any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance.

      9.7   Execution in Counterparts. This Purchase Option may be executed in
one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become
effective when one or more counterparts has been signed by each of the parties
hereto and delivered to each of the other parties hereto.

      9.8   Exchange Agreement. As a condition of the Holder's receipt and
acceptance of this Purchase Option, Holder agrees that, at any time prior to the
complete exercise of this Purchase Option by Holder, if the Company and EBC
enter into an agreement ("EXCHANGE AGREEMENT") pursuant to which they agree that
all outstanding Purchase Options will be exchanged for securities or cash or a
combination of both, then Holder shall agree to such exchange and become a party
to the Exchange Agreement.

      9.9   Intentionally Omitted.
