(________) units ("UNITS") of the Company, each Unit consisting of one share of
common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 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 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

exercisable at $____ per Unit so purchased; provided, however, that upon the
occurrence

<Page>

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

<Page>

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 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, or cause it to be the subject of
any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would
result in the effective economic disposition of the securities, for a period
of one year following the Effective Date to anyone other than (i) Ladenburg
or a selected dealer in connection with the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide
officer or

                                        3

<Page>

partner of Ladenburg or of any such 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 Dechert 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.
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.   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


                                        4

<Page>

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 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


                                        5

<Page>

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 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

                                        6

<Page>

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 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


                                        7

<Page>

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

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
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.

          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


                                        8

<Page>

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, Ladenburg 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, 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


                                        9

<Page>

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
Ladenburg, 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 Ladenburg, 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
Ladenburg, 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 Ladenburg, as representative of the
Holders, shall reasonably request. The Company shall not be required to disclose
any confidential information or other records to Ladenburg, 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 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


                                       10

<Page>

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:

          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


                                       11

<Page>

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 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


                                       12

<Page>

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 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

to the Company, to the following address or to such other address as the Company
may designate by notice to the Holders:

9.   MISCELLANEOUS.

     9.1 AMENDMENTS. The Company and Ladenburg 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 Ladenburg may deem necessary or desirable and
that the Company and Ladenburg 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

     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

provisions herein contained.

     9.5 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. This Purchase Option shall

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

Holder agree that the prevailing party(ies) in any such action shall be entitled
to recover from the other party(ies) all of its 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

Company or any Holder to thereafter enforce each and every provision


                                       15

<Page>

     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

Ladenburg 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.
