    RAND
      ACQUISITION CORP. II

    CUSIP
      _______

    WARRANT

    


    THIS
      CERTIFIES THAT, for value received  

    


    is
      the
      registered holder of a Warrant or Warrants expiring ________, 2010 (the
“Warrant”) to purchase one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock,
      par value $.0001 per share (“Shares”), of Rand Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware
      corporation (the “Company”), for each Warrant evidenced by this Warrant
      Certificate. The Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase from the
      Company, commencing on the later of (i) the Company’s completion of a merger,
      capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination
      and (ii) ______________, 2007, such number of Shares of the Company at the
      price
      of $5.00 per share, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment
      of
      the Warrant Price at the office or agency of the Warrant Agent, Continental
      Stock Transfer & Trust Company, but only subject to the conditions set forth
      herein and in the Warrant Agreement between the Company and Continental Stock
      Transfer & Trust Company. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any
      securities pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation
      to
      settle a Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities
      Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Act”) with respect to the Common Stock is
      effective, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations under Section
      7.4
      of the Warrant Agreement to use its best efforts. In the event that a
      registration statement with respect to the Common Stock underlying a Warrant
      is
      not effective under the Act, 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. The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain
      events the Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder,
      set forth on the face hereof, may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted.
      The term Warrant Price as used in this Warrant Certificate refers to the price
      per Share at which Shares may be purchased at the time the Warrant is
      exercised.

     

    No
      fraction of a Share will be issued upon any exercise of a Warrant. If the holder
      of a Warrant would be entitled to receive a fraction of a Share upon any
      exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round up to the
      nearest whole number the number of Shares to be issued to such
      holder.

     

    Upon
      any
      exercise of the Warrant for less than the total number of full Shares provided
      for herein, there shall be issued to the registered holder hereof or the
      registered holder’s assignee a new Warrant Certificate covering the number of
      Shares for which the Warrant has not been exercised.

     

    Warrant
      Certificates, when surrendered at the office or agency of the Warrant Agent
      by
      the registered holder hereof in person or by attorney duly authorized in
      writing, may be exchanged in the manner and subject to the limitations provided
      in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another
      Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in
      the
      aggregate a like number of Warrants.

     

    Upon
      due
      presentment for registration of transfer of the Warrant Certificate at the
      office or agency of the Warrant Agent, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant
      Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of
      Warrants shall be issued to the transferee in exchange for this Warrant
      Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement,
      without charge except for any applicable tax or other governmental
      charge.

     

    The
      Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder as the
      absolute owner of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of
      ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any
      exercise hereof, of any distribution to the registered holder, and for all
      other
      purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by
      any
      notice to the contrary.

     

    This
      Warrant does not entitle the registered holder to any of the rights of a
      stockholder of the Company.

     

    The
      Company reserves the right to call the Warrant at any time prior to its
      exercise, with the prior consent of EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., with a notice of
      call in writing to the holders of record of the Warrant, giving 30 days’ notice
      of such call at any time after the Warrant becomes exercisable if the last
      sale
      price of the Shares has been at least $11.00 per share on each of 20 trading
      days within any 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior
      to
      the date on which notice of such call is given. The call price of the Warrants
      is to be $.01 per Warrant. Any Warrant either not exercised or tendered back
      to
      the Company by the end of the date specified in the notice of call shall be
      canceled on the books of the Company and have no further value except for the
      $.01 call price.
