between 57TH STREET GENERAL ACQUISITION
CORP., a Delaware corporation, with offices at 590 Madison Avenue,

Floor, New York, New York 10022 (the “Company”), and Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, with offices at 17
Battery Place, New York, New York 10004 (“Warrant Agent”).

    


    WHEREAS, the Company has received a
binding commitment from 57th Street GAC Holdings LLC, a limited liability
company, wholly owned by certain officers and directors of the Company (the
“Insiders”), and the underwriters of the Company’s Public Offering (as defined
below) to purchase an aggregate of 3,500,000 warrants (“Insider Warrants”)
simultaneously with the Public Offering pursuant to a Subscription Agreement
dated as of October 30, 2009 (the “Subscription Agreement”); and

    


    WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in a
public offering (“Public Offering”) of units, each unit comprised of one share
of Common Stock (as defined below) and one Public Warrant (as defined below)
(the “Units”) and, in connection therewith, has determined to issue and deliver
(i) up to 5,750,000 Warrants to public investors (“Public Warrants” and,
together with the Insider Warrants, the “Warrants”), each of such Warrants
evidencing the right of the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock
of the Company, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), for $11.50, subject
to adjustment as described herein; and

    


    WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1, No.
333-163134 (“Registration Statement”), for the registration, under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”) of, among other securities, the
Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants;
and

    


    WHEREAS, the Company desires the
Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing
to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange,
redemption and exercise of the Warrants; and

    


    WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide
for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be
issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and
immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the holders of the Warrants;
and


    
      
         


      

      
         


        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    WHEREAS, all acts and things have been
done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on
behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as
provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to
authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

    


    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

    


    1.           Appointment of Warrant
Agent.  The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as
agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts
such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

    


    2.           Warrants.

    


    2.1.         Form of
Warrant.  Each Warrant shall be issued in registered form only,
shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, the provisions of which
are incorporated herein and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature
of, the Chairman of the Board or President and Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of the Company and shall bear a facsimile of the Company’s seal. In
the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant
shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the
Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as
if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

    


    2.2.         Effect of
Countersignature.  Unless and until countersigned by the
Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Warrant shall be invalid and of no
effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof.

    


    2.3.         Registration.

    


    2.3.1.     Warrant
Register.  The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Warrant
Register”), for the registration of original issuance and the registration of
transfer of the Warrants.  Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants,
the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the
respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance
with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the
Company.

    2.3.2.     Registered
Holder.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer
of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person
in whose name such Warrant shall be registered upon the Warrant Register
(“registered holder”) as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant
represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
on the Warrant Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant
Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and
neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

     


    2.4.         Detachability of
Warrants.  The securities comprising the Units will begin to
trade separately on the date that is the fifth business day following the
45th
calendar day following the date of the prospectus pursuant to which the Units
are sold (the “Detachment Date”), or earlier with the consent of Morgan Joseph
& Co. Inc., the representative of the underwriters (“Representative” or
“MJ”) but in no event before: (i) the expiration of the over-allotment option
(the “Over-allotment Option”) granted to MJ, (ii) its exercise in full, or (iii)
or MJ’s notice to the Company of its intention not to exercise all or any
remaining portion of the Over-allotment Option, provided that in no event will
separate trading of the securities comprising the Units commence until (x) the
Company files with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K, which includes an
audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by the Company of the gross
proceeds of the sale of the Private Warrants and the Public Offering, including
the proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of the Over-allotment
Option, if the Over-allotment Option is exercised prior to the filing of the
Form 8-K and (y) the Company issues a press release and files with the SEC a
Current Report on Form 8-K announcing when such separate trading will
begin.

     

    2.5          Warrant
Attributes.

    


    2.5.1      Insider
Warrants.  The Insider Warrants will be issued in the same form
as the Public Warrants but they (i) will not be transferable or salable until 30
days after the Company completes a business transaction, (ii) will be
exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Insiders or
their affiliates, (iii) will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they
are held by the Insiders or their affiliates and (iv) may be exercised for
unregistered shares if a registration statement relating to the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective and current,
subject to Section 3.3.2 (ii) herein.

    3.           Terms and Exercise of
Warrants

    


    3.1.         Warrant
Price.  Each Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant
Agent, entitle the registered holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such
Warrant and of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number
of shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $11.50 per whole
share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last
sentence of this Section 3.1.  The term “Warrant Price” as used in
this Warrant Agreement refers to the price per share at which shares of Common
Stock may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.  The
Company in its sole discretion may lower the Warrant Price at any time prior to
the Expiration Date for a period of not less than twenty business days, provided
that any such reduction shall be identical among all of the
Warrants.

    


    3.2.         Duration of
Warrants.  A Warrant may be exercised only during the period
commencing on the later of: (i) 30 days following the consummation by the
Company of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or other similar business transaction with one or more operating
businesses (as described more fully in the Registration Statement, “Business Transaction”), or
(ii) [            ],
2011 (one year from the effective date of the Registration Statement), and
terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier to occur of (x) five
years from the effective date of the Business Transaction; (ii) upon the
liquidation of the Company ; or (iii) the Redemption Date as provided in Section
6.2 of this Agreement (“Expiration Date”).  Except with respect to the
right to receive the Redemption Price (as set forth in Section 6 hereunder),
each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void,
and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement
shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration Date.  The
Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of the Warrants by
delaying the Expiration Date; provided, however, the Company will provide notice
to registered holders of the Warrants of such extension of not less than 20 days
and, further provided that any such extension shall be identical in duration
among all of the Warrants.

    3.3.         Exercise of
Warrants.

    


    3.3.1.     Payment.  Subject
to the provisions of the Warrant and this Warrant Agreement,  a
Warrant, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised by the
registered holder thereof by surrendering it, at the office of the Warrant
Agent, or at the office of its successor as Warrant Agent, in the Borough of
Manhattan, City and State of New York, with the subscription form, as set forth
in the Warrant, duly executed, and by paying in full the Warrant Price for each
full share of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and all
applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the
exchange of the Warrant for the shares of Common Stock and the issuance of such
Common Stock, as follows:

    


    (a)         in
lawful money of the United States, in cash, good certified check or good bank
draft payable to the order of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company;

    


    (b)         in
the event of redemption pursuant to Section 6 hereof in which the Company’s
management has elected to force all holders of Warrants to exercise such
Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by surrendering the Warrants for that number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
product of the number of shares Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied
by the difference between the Warrant Price and the “Fair Market Value” (defined
below) by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this Section
3.3.1(b), the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average reported last sale
price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading
day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of
Warrant pursuant to Section 6 hereof; or

    


    (c)         with
respect to any Insider Warrants, so long as such Insider Warrants are held by
the Insiders or their affiliates, by surrendering the Warrants for that number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants,
multiplied by the difference between the Warrant Price and the “Fair Market
Value” (defined below) by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this
Section 3.3.1(c), the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average reported last
sale price of the Common Stock for the 5 trading days ending on the trading day
prior to the date of exercise.
 

    
      
         


      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    3.3.2.     Issuance of
Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of any
Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if cash
is paid), the Company shall issue to the registered holder of such Warrant a
certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of shares of Common
Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as
may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been
exercised in full, a new countersigned Warrant for the number of shares as to
which such Warrant shall not have been exercised.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities pursuant
to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant
exercise unless:  (i) a registration statement under the Act with
respect to the shares of Common Stock is effective, subject to the Company’s
satisfying its obligations under Section 7.4 or (ii) solely with respect to
Insider Warrants, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the exercise of the
Insider Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and
such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under
applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which the
registered holders reside. In the event that the conditions in clause (i) of the
immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant and,
if such Warrant is an Insider Warrant, the conditions in clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied, the holder of such Warrant
shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no
value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash
settle the Warrant exercise.  Warrants may not be exercised by, or
securities issued to, any registered holder in any state in which such exercise
would be unlawful. In the event that a registration statement is not effective
for the exercised Public Warrants the purchaser of a Unit containing such
Warrants will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the
shares of Common Stock included in such Unit.

    


    3.3.3.     Valid
Issuance.  All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper
exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

    


    3.3.4.     Date of
Issuance.  Each person in whose name any such certificate for
Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the
holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered
and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery
of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a
date when the share transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall
be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on
the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books are
open.

    4.           Adjustments.

    


    
      4.1.        
Stock
Dividends.

    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              4.1.1.

            	
              Split Ups. If
      after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 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 of such
      stock dividend, split up or similar event, the number of shares of Common
      Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in
      proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common
      Stock.

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              4.1.2.

            	
              Extraordinary Cash
      Dividends. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are
      outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in
      cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock (or other
      shares of the Company’s capital stock into which the Warrants are
      convertible), other than (a) as described in Section 4.1.1, (b) regular
      quarterly or other periodic dividends, (c) in connection with the
      conversion rights of the holders of Common Stock upon consummation of the
      Company’s initial Business Transaction, or (d) in connection with the
      Company’s liquidation and the distribution of its assets upon its failure
      to consummate a Business Transaction (any such non- excluded event being
      referred to herein as an “Extraordinary
      Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective
      immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by
      the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the
      Company’s Board of Directors, in good faith) of any securities or other
      assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary
      Dividend.

            


    

    


    4.2.         Aggregation of
Shares.  If after the date hereof, and subject to the
provisions of Section 4.6, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is
decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or
reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the
effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split,
reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in
outstanding shares of Common Stock.


    
      
         


      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    4.3          Adjustments in Exercise
Price.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in
Section 4.1.1 and 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest
cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by
a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such
adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

    


    4.4.         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 4.1.1 or 4.2 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 assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved,
the Warrant holders shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive,
upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and
in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby,
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,
that the Warrant holder would have received if such Warrant holder had exercised
his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event; provided, that
(i) if the holders of Common Stock were entitled to exercise a right of
election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable
upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash
or other assets for which each Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed
to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the
holders of Common Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make
such election or (ii) if a tender or exchange offer shall have been made to
and accepted by the holders of Common Stock under circumstances in which, upon
completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with
members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange
Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate
of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any
members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part,
own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more
than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder of a Warrant
shall be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other
property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder
if such Warrant holder had exercised the Warrant prior to the expiration of such
tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Common Stock held
by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer,
subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or
exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for
in this Section 4.  If any reclassification or reorganization
also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Section 4.1.1 or
4.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 4.1.1, 4.2, 4.3 and
this Section 4.4.  The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly
apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or
consolidations, sales or other transfers.

    4.5.         Notices of Changes in
Warrant.  Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give
written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the
Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if
any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based.  Upon the occurrence of
any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, then, in any such event,
the Company shall give written notice to each Warrant holder, at the last
address set forth for such holder in the warrant register, of the record date or
the effective date of the event.  Failure to give such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such
event.

    


    4.6.         No Fractional
Shares.  Notwithstanding any provision contained in this
Warrant Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares
upon exercise of Warrants.  If, by reason of any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 4, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon
the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the
Company shall, upon such exercise, round up to the nearest whole number, the
number of the
shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant
holder.

    4.7.         Form of
Warrant.  The form of Warrant need not be changed because of
any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued after such
adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is
stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this
Agreement.  However, the Company may at any time in its sole
discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem
appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant
thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an
outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

    


    5.           Transfer and Exchange of
Warrants.

    


    5.1.         Registration of
Transfer.  The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from
time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon
surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures
properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for
transfer.  Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal
aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be
cancelled by the Warrant Agent.  The Warrants so cancelled shall be
delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon
request.

    


    5.2.         Procedure for Surrender of
Warrants.  Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent,
together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the
Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as
requested by the registered holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing
an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that in the event that
a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent
shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange therefor until
the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating
that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also
bear a restrictive legend.

    


    5.3.         Fractional
Warrants.  The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect
any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a
warrant certificate for a fraction of a warrant.

    


    5.4.         Service
Charges.  No service charge shall be made for any exchange or
registration of transfer of Warrants.

    5.5.         Warrant Execution and
Countersignature.  The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to
countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the
Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, and
the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant
Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such
purpose.

    


    5.6          Transfer of
Warrants.  Prior to the Detachment Date, the Public Warrants
may be transferred or exchanged only together with the Unit in which such
Warrant is included, and only for the purpose of effecting, or in conjunction
with, a transfer or exchange of such Unit. Furthermore, each transfer of a Unit
on the register relating to such Units shall operate also to transfer the
Warrants included in such Unit. From and after the Detachment Date this Section
5.6 will have no further force and effect.

    


    6.           Redemption.

    


    6.1.         Redemption.  Subject
to Sections 6.4 and 6.5 hereof, not less than all of the outstanding Warrants
may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time while they are
exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent,
upon the notice referred to in Section 6.2, at the price of $.01 per Warrant
(“Redemption Price”), provided that the last sales price of the Common Stock has
been at least $17.50 per share (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section
4 hereof), on each of twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading
day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of
redemption is given.  The provisions of this Section 6.1 may not be
modified, amended or deleted without the prior written consent of
MJ.

    


    6.2.         Date Fixed for, and Notice
of, Redemption.  In the event the Company shall elect to redeem
all of the Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the
“Redemption Date”).  Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first
class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than 30 days prior to the
Redemption Date to the registered holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at
their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration
books.  Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered
holder received such notice.

    6.3.         Exercise After Notice of
Redemption.  The Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a
“cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement) at any time
after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to
Section 6.2 hereof and prior to the Redemption Date.  In the event the
Company determines to require all holders of Warrants to exercise their Warrants
on a “cashless basis” pursuant to Section 3, the notice of redemption will
contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares Common Stock
to be received upon exercise of the Warrants, including the “Fair Market Value”
in such case. On and after the Redemption Date, the record holder of the
Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the
Warrants, the Redemption Price.

    


    6.4          Exclusion of Insider
Warrants.  The Company understands that the redemption rights
provided for by this Section 6 do not apply to the Insider Warrants if at the
time of redemption such warrants continue to be held by the initial purchasers
thereof or their permitted assigns.  However, once such Insider
Warrants are transferred other than to any permitted assign, the Company may
redeem the Insider Warrants, provided that the criteria for redemption are met,
including the opportunity of the Warrant holder to exercise prior to redemption
pursuant to Section 6.3.

    


    7.           Other Provisions Relating to
Rights of Holders of Warrants.

    


    7.1.         No Rights as
Stockholder.  A Warrant does not entitle the registered holder
thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without
limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any
preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in
respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the
Company or any other matter.

    


    7.2.         Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or
Destroyed Warrants.  If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated,
or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may on such terms as to
indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in
the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new
Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen,
mutilated, or destroyed.  Any such new Warrant shall constitute a
substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly
lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable
by anyone.

    7.3.         Reservation of Common
Stock.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that
will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants
issued pursuant to this Agreement.

    


    7.4.         Registration of Common
Stock.  The Company agrees that prior to the commencement of
the Exercise Period, it shall use its best efforts to file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement, or a new registration statement, for the registration, under the Act,
of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and it
shall use its best efforts to take such action as is necessary to qualify for
sale, in those states in which the Warrants were initially offered by the
Company, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants.  In either case, the Company will use its best efforts to
cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such
registration statement until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement.  In addition, the Company agrees to
use its best efforts to register such securities under the blue sky laws of the
states of residence of the exercising warrant holders to the extent an exemption
is not available , subject to the proviso above.  The provisions of
this Section 7.4 may not be modified, amended or deleted without the prior
written consent of MJ.

    


    8.           Concerning the Warrant Agent
and Other Matters.

    


    8.1.         Payment of
Taxes.  The Company will from time to time promptly pay all
taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in
respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise
of Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in
respect of the Warrants or such shares.

    


    8.2.         Resignation, Consolidation,
or Merger of Warrant Agent.

    


    8.2.1.     Appointment of Successor
Warrant Agent.  The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it
hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further
duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing
to the Company.  If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by
resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in
writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent.  If
the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after
it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant
Agent or by the holder of the Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his
Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrant may apply
to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the
appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost.  Any
successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court,
shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New
York, in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of
Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority.  After appointment, any successor Warrant
Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities,
duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if
originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed;
but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor
Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an
instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority,
powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request
of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and
deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually
vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority,
powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.

    8.2.2.     Notice of Successor Warrant
Agent.  In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be
appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant
Agent and the transfer agent for the Common Stock not later than the effective
date of any such appointment.

    


    8.2.3.     Merger or Consolidation of
Warrant Agent.  Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent
may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting
from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party
shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further
act.

    


    8.3.         Fees and Expenses of Warrant
Agent.

    


    8.3.1.     Remuneration.  The
Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services
as such Warrant Agent hereunder and will reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand
for all expenditures that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the
execution of its duties hereunder.

    


    8.3.2.     Further
Assurances.  The Company agrees to perform, execute,
acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and
delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may
reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing
of the provisions of this Agreement.

    8.4.         Liability of Warrant
Agent.

    


    8.4.1.     Reliance on Company
Statement.  Whenever in the performance of its duties under
this Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable
that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking
or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the President or
Chairman of the Board of the Company and delivered to the Warrant
Agent.  The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action
taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement.

    


    8.4.2.     Indemnity.  The
Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith.  The Company agrees to indemnify the
Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including
judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by
the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement except as a result of the
Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith.

    


    8.4.3.     Exclusions.  The
Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this
Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant (except
its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the
Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any
Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make any adjustments required under the
provisions of Section 4 hereof or responsible for the manner, method, or amount
of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would
require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make
any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any
shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant or
as to whether any shares of Common Stock will when issued be valid and fully
paid and nonassessable.

Agency.  The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency
established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth and among other things, shall account promptly to
the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently account for, and

Warrant Agent hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any
kind (“Claim”) in or to
any distribution of the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment
Management Trust Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the
Company and the Warrant Agent as trustee thereunder) and hereby agrees not to

    9.4.         Persons Having Rights under
this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement expressed and
nothing that may be implied from any of the provisions hereof is intended, or
shall be construed, to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other
than the parties hereto and the registered holders of the Warrants and, for the
purposes of Sections 6.1, 7.4 and 9.2 hereof, MJ, any right, remedy, or claim
under or by reason of this Warrant Agreement or of any covenant, condition,

registered holder for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing,
correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained herein or adding
or changing any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising

hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or
provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this
Warrant Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and
enforceable
