    OF

1.    Purchase Option.    


        THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, in consideration of $100.00 duly paid by or on behalf of Ferris, Baker Watts, Inc. ("Holder"), as registered
owner of this Purchase Option, to Cold Spring Capital Inc. ("Company"), Holder is entitled, at any time or from time to time upon the later of
the consummation of an Initial Transaction, or                        , 2006 ("Commencement
Date"), and at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City local time,
                        , 2010 ("Expiration Date"), but not thereafter, to
subscribe for, purchase and receive, in whole or in part, up to one million
(1,000,000) units ("Units") of the Company, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share
("Common 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 shall be substantially the same (other than the exercise price thereof) 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 this Purchase Option. This Purchase Option is initially exercisable at $7.50 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 Units 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 ("Conversion Right") as follows: upon exercise of the Conversion
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 equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
"Value" (as defined below) of the portion of this Purchase Option being converted by (y) the "Current Market Price" (as defined below) of a Unit. The
"Value" of the portion of this Purchase Option being converted shall equal the remainder derived from subtracting (a) the product of
(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 Price of a Unit multiplied
by the number of Units underlying the portion of this Purchase Option being converted. 


        The
"Current Market Price" of a Unit at any day shall mean (i) if the Units are listed on a national securities exchange
(including, without limitation, the American Stock Exchange) or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor such as the Bulletin Board
Exchange), the average closing price of a Unit for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of determination of the Current Market Price in the principal trading market for
the Units as reported by the exchange, Nasdaq or the NASD, as the case may be; (ii) if 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 such as the Bulletin Board Exchange), but is traded in the residual over-the-counter market, the closing bid
price for a Unit 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 Units 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. 


        2.3.2    Mechanics of Cashless Exercise.    The cashless exercise right described in this Section 2.3 (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 this 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. 




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) FBW or an underwriter or a selected
dealer in connection with the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of FBW 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 this 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 Choate, Hall & Stewart
LLP 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; provided, however, that any partial exercise of this
Purchase Option must be for a minimum of at least 50,000 Units or such lesser number of Units that remain issuable hereunder. 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 of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company. 


5.    Warrant Redemption.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in that certain
Warrant Agreement, dated as of                        , 2005, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant
Agreement"), (i) this Purchase Option shall, if not earlier exercised in full, be automatically exercised, on a cashless basis as described in Section 2.3.1
hereof, immediately prior to a redemption of the Company's outstanding warrants pursuant to Section 6 of the Warrant Agreement (provided that notice is provided to the Holder on the same terms
as provided to the holders of Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Agreement), and (ii) each 


3







 



Warrant
that is part of a Unit issued hereunder upon such automatic conversion shall be redeemed by the Company as part of such redemption for the Redemption Price. 


6.    Adjustments.    



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



        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 (even though such Warrants shall not
yet have been issued). 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 $7.50 per whole Unit (and each Warrant underlying the Units is exercisable for $6.25 per share), upon effectiveness of the dividend, this Purchase Option will be adjusted to allow for the purchase
of one Unit at $7.50 per Unit, each Unit entitling the holder to receive two shares of Common Stock and four Warrants (each Warrant exercisable for $3.13 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 (even
though such Warrants shall not yet have been issued). 



        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. 



4







 

        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 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 this 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 this Purchase Option or the Warrants underlying this 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 this Purchase Option 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 this Purchase Option 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 this Purchase Option shall be outstanding, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all (i) Units and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Purchase Option, (iii) Warrants issuable upon exercise of this Purchase Option and (iv) shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants included in the Units
issuable upon exercise of this 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 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 this 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 


5







 



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, (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, (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, (iv) if the Company shall delivery a notice to
holders of the warrants of a redemption pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreement or (v) if the Company shall deliver a notice to the Holder pursuant to Section 5 of this
Unit Purchase Option. 


        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 Executive 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 this 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

        9.1    Amendments.    The Company and FBW 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 FBW may deem necessary or desirable and that the Company and FBW deem shall not adversely affect the

        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

        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
