         This  AMENDMENT TO UNIT  PURCHASE  OPTIONS  (this  "Amendment"),  dated
November 2, 2006, is made by and between  Ardent  Acquisition  Corporation  (the
"Company") and the holders designated on the signature page hereof  ("Holders"),
to those certain Unit Purchase Options referred to below.

         WHEREAS, the Company issued those certain Unit Purchase Options,  dated
February  24,  2005  (the  "Unit  Purchase  Options"),  in  connection  with the
Company's  initial  public  offering  and the Holders are the owners of the Unit

be amended as set forth herein to clarify the understanding  between the parties
with respect to the terms of the Unit Purchase Options  effective as of the date
of their issuance.

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

         1.       The Unit  Purchase  Options  are hereby  amended by adding the
following new Section 2.4 to such Unit Purchase Options:

         "2.4     NO OBLIGATION TO NET CASH SETTLE.  Notwithstanding anything to
         the  contrary  contained  in this  Purchase  Option,  if the Company is
         unable to deliver  any  securities  pursuant  to the  exercise  of this
         Purchase   Option  as  a  result  of  its   inability  to  satisfy  its
         registration  requirements  set forth in Section 5 hereof,  the Company
         will  have no  obligation  to pay such  registered  holder  any cash or
         otherwise "net cash settle" the Warrants."

         2.       Section 5.3 of the Unit Purchase  Options is hereby deleted in
its entirety.

         3.       Upon the due execution  and delivery of this  Amendment by the
parties hereto, on and after the date hereof each reference in the Unit Purchase
Options to this "Purchase Option",  "hereunder",  "hereof", "herein" or words of
like import referring to the Unit Purchase Options shall mean and be a reference
to the Unit Purchase Options, as amended hereby.  Except as specifically amended
above,  the Unit  Purchase  Options shall remain in full force and effect and is
hereby ratified and confirmed.

         4.       This  Amendment  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.
