            THIS FOUNDER'S UNITS AND FOUNDER'S ADDITIONAL WARRANTS PURCHASE

among SP Acquisition Holdings, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), SP

________________________ (each a "Purchaser" and collectively the "Purchasers").

            WHEREAS, the Company has filed a registration statement (the
"Registration Statement") for the initial public offering of units (the "Initial
Public Offering"), each unit consisting of one share of the Company's common
stock, par value $0.001 per share (a "Share"), and one warrant to purchase one
Share at an exercise price of $7.50 per Share.

            WHEREAS, pursuant to the Founder's Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated as of March 22, 2007, by and between the Company and Seller (the
"Securities Purchase Agreement"), Seller purchased for an aggregate purchase
price of $25,000, 7,500,000 units (the "Founder's Units"), each consisting of
one share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share and one
warrant to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $7.50 per share.

            WHEREAS, the Purchasers desire to purchase and the Seller desires to
sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the number of
Founder's Units set forth on Schedule A hereto (the "Director Founder's Units")
at a price per Unit equal to $.0033 (the "Director Founder's Units Purchase
Price"), each consisting of one share of the Company's common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the "Director Founder's Shares") and one warrant to purchase
one Share at an exercise price of $7.50 per share (the "Director Initial

            WHEREAS, pursuant to the Founder's Securities Purchase Agreement the
Company has also agreed to issue in a private placement to occur concurrently

            WHEREAS, the Purchasers desire to purchase and the Seller desires to
sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the number of
Additional Founder's Warrants set forth on Schedule A hereto (the "Director
Additional Founder's Warrants") at a price per warrant equal to $1.00 (the
"Director Additional Founder's Warrants Purchase Price").

            NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in
this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement
hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. AUTHORIZATION, PURCHASE AND SALE; TERMS OF THE DIRECTOR FOUNDER'S
UNITS AND DIRECTOR ADDITIONAL FOUNDER'S WARRANTS.

      A. Authority to Sell. The Seller represents that it is authorized to sell
the Director Founder's Units and Director Additional Founder's Warrants to the
Purchasers in accordance with the terms hereof.

      B. Purchase and Sale of the Director Founder's Units and Director
Additional Founder's Warrants. On the date hereof (or concurrently with the
closing of the Initial Public Offering with respect to the Director Additional
Founder's Warrants), the Seller shall sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser
shall purchase from the Seller, the number of Director Founder's Units and
Director Additional Founder's Warrants set forth opposite the name of such
Purchaser on Schedule A hereto for the Director Founder's Units Purchase Price
and Director Additional Founder's Warrants Purchase Price, respectively. The
number of Director Founder's Units or Director Additional Founder's Warrants to
be purchased assumes that the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are
$300,000,000 (prior to the exercise of the over-allotment option). If the gross
proceeds that the Company receives from the Initial Public Offering is less than
$300,000,000 (prior to the exercise of the over-allotment option), the Company
will repurchase Director Founder's Units from each Purchaser and decrease the
number of Director Additional Founder's Warrants to be sold to each Purchaser,
provided, however, the Seller at its option may agree with a Purchaser to sell
additional Director Founder's Units and/or Director Additional Founder's
Warrants to such Purchaser. If the gross proceeds that the Company receives from
the Initial Public Offering is greater than $300,000,000 (prior to the exercise
of the over-allotment option), the Company, through the Seller and the Seller's
Option, may dividend additional Director Founder's Units to each Director and
increase the number of Director Additional Founder's Warrants to be sold to each
Purchaser. The Seller shall cause the Company to deliver certificates evidencing
the Director Founder's Units, Director Founder's Shares, Director Initial
Founder's Warrants and Director Additional Founder's Warrants to be purchased by
each Purchaser hereunder, in each case registered in the Purchaser's name, upon
the payment by the Purchaser of the Director Founder's Units Purchase Price and
Director Additional Founder's Warrants Purchase Price by check or wire transfer
of immediately available funds to Steel Partners, Ltd. for the benefit of
Seller. With respect to the payment of the Director Additional Founder's
Warrants Purchase Price, each Purchaser agrees to deliver payment of the
purchase price to the Seller upon five (5) days notice of the Seller. Each
Purchaser agrees that in the event such Purchaser fails to purchase the number
of Director Additional Founder's Warrants set forth on Schedule A hereto, such
Purchaser shall forfeit to Seller the number of Director Founder's Units set
forth on Schedule A hereto.

      C. Terms of the Director Founder's Units, Director Founder's Shares,
Director Initial Founder's Warrants and Director Additional Founder's Warrants.

                  (i) Director Founder's Units: Each Unit of the Director
Founder's Units shall consist of one Director Founder's Share and one Director

shall have the terms set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company and the Founder's Share Certificate attached as EXHIBIT B hereto.
Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser hereby expressly agrees that if
the Company consummates the Initial Public Offering, then (i) in connection with
the stockholder vote required to approve a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or
assets (a "Business Combination"), each Purchaser agrees to vote the Director
Founder's Shares in accordance with a majority of the shares of common stock
voted by holders of shares of common stock issued in the Initial Public Offering
and (ii) each Purchaser agrees to waive any right to participate in any
liquidation distribution to the extent set forth in Section 2.D of this
Agreement.

                                       2

                  (iii) Director Initial Founder's Warrants: The Director
Initial Founder's Warrants shall have the terms set forth in the Warrant
Agreement set forth as EXHIBIT C hereto.

                  (iv) Director Additional Founder's Warrants: The Director
Additional Founder's Warrants shall have the terms set forth in the Warrant
Agreement as set forth as EXHIBIT C hereto including, but not limited to the
provision that if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, then
the Director Additional Founder's Warrants Purchase Price will be part of the
liquidating distribution to the Company's public stockholders, and the Director
Additional Founder's Warrants will expire worthless.

                  (v) Transfer Restrictions: In addition to the restrictions on
transfer set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Purchasers shall not sell or
transfer the Director Founder's Units, Director Founder's Shares, Director
Initial Founder's Warrants and Director Additional Founder's Warrants and the
Shares underlying the Director Initial Founder's Warrants and Director
Additional Founder's Warrants (collectively, the "Securities") for a period of
one year from the date the Company completes its initial business combination
(or until after the Company completes a business combination with respect to the
Director Additional Founder's Warrants and the Shares underlying the Director
Additional Founder's Warrants) except to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in
the Warrant Agreement) who agrees in writing with the Company to be subject to
such transfer restrictions, vote the Director Founder's Shares as provided in
(ii) above; waive any right to participate in any liquidation distribution as
provided in (ii) above and agrees to the forfeiture of the Director Founder's
Units, Director Founder's Shares and Director Initial Founder's Warrants as
provided in (vi) below. During this period, each Purchaser and its Permitted
Transferees shall retain all other rights of holders of Shares, including,
without limitation, the right to vote their Shares (except as described above
with respect to a Business Combination) and the right to receive cash dividends,
if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in Shares, such dividends
will also be subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 1.C.(v).

                  (vi) Registration Rights: In connection with the closing of
the Initial Public Offering, the Company, the Seller and the Purchasers shall
enter into an agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") granting the
Seller and the Purchasers registration rights with respect to the Securities.

                  (vii) Forfeiture of Director Founder's Units, Director
Founder's Shares and Director Initial Founder's Warrants: In the event that
Steel Partners II, L.P. fails to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 Units (the
"Co-Investment Units") at a price of $10.00 per Unit ($30.0 million in the
aggregate) in a private placement that will occur immediately prior to the
consummation of a Business Combination (the "Co-Investment") by the Company
pursuant to the terms of a Co-Investment Agreement to be entered into among the
Company and Steel Partners II, L.P., Purchaser agrees to surrender and forfeit
all of its Directors Founders' Units, Director Founder's Shares and Director
Initial Founder's Warrants to the Company, provided that such surrender and
forfeiture will not be required if the Seller purchases the Co-Investment Units.

                  (viii) Seller Repurchase: Each Purchaser agrees that if at any
time prior to the consummation of the Company's initial business combination
such Purchaser resigns from, or is removed for cause from, the board of
directors of the Company then concurrently therewith such Purchaser shall sell
to the Seller all Director Founder's Units and Director Additional Founder's
Warrants owned by him at a price per Unit equal to the Director Founder's Units
Purchase Price per Unit in the case of the Director Founder's Units and the
Director Additional Founder's Warrants Purchase Price per Warrant in the case of
the Director Additional Founder's Warrants, respectively.

                                       3

Section 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS.

                  As a material inducement to the Company and the Seller to
enter into this Agreement and for the Seller to sell the Director Founder's
Units and Director Additional Founder's Warrants, each Purchaser severally and
not jointly hereby represents and warrants to the Seller and the Company that:

            A. Capacity and State Law Compliance. Such Purchaser has engaged in
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within a state in which the
offer and sale of the Director Founder's Units and Director Additional Founder's
Warrants is permitted under applicable securities laws.

            B. Authorization. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

            C. Investment Representations.

                  (i) Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for his own
account, for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in
connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.

                  (ii) Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term
is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

                  (iii) Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being
offered and will be sold to him in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws
and that the Seller and the Company are relying upon the truth and accuracy of,
and such Purchaser's compliance with, the representations and warranties of such
Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire such Securities.

                  (iv) Such Purchaser did not decide to enter into this
Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within
the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act").

                  (v) Such Purchaser has been furnished with all materials
relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials
relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by
such Purchaser. Such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. Such Purchaser
understands that his investment in the Securities involves a high degree of
risk. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as such
Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with
respect to such Purchaser's acquisition of the Securities.

                  (vi) Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal
or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or
made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or
suitability of the investment in the Securities by such Purchaser nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.

                  (vii) Such Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have
not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred
unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) sold in reliance on an
exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under
any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption
thereunder. In this regard, such Purchaser understands that the Securities and

                                       4

Exchange Commission has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a
blank check company and their transferees, both before and after a Business
Combination, are deemed to be "underwriters" under the Securities Act when
reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule
144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale
transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the
requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a
registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic
risk of his investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.

                  (viii) Such Purchaser has such knowledge and expertise in
financial and business matters, knows of the high degree of risk associated with
investments generally and particularly investments in the securities of
companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated
hereunder. Such Purchaser has adequate means of providing for his current
financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future
needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the
Securities. Such Purchaser can afford a complete loss of his investment in the
Securities.

            D. Waiver of Right to Amounts in the Trust Account and
Indemnification.

                  (i) Such Purchaser hereby waives any and all right, title,
interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the trust account
established by the Company for the deposit of proceeds from the Initial Public
Offering and the sale of the Additional Founder's Warrants, as a result of any
liquidation of the trust account, with respect to the Director Founder's Shares
("Claim") and hereby waives any Claim he may have in the future as a result of,
or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not
seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever except for any
amounts to which he may be entitled upon liquidation of the Company in respect
of such Purchaser's ownership of Shares other than the Director Founder's
Shares.

                  (ii) Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the
stockholders of the Company, including those who purchase the units in the
Initial Public Offering, are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of the
foregoing provisions of Section 2.D. of this Agreement.

                  (iii) Such Purchaser agrees that to the extent any waiver of
rights under this Section 2.D. is ineffective as a matter of law, such Purchaser
has offered such waiver for the benefit of the Seller and the Company as an
equitable right that shall survive any statutory disqualification or bar that
applies to a legal right. Such Purchaser acknowledges the receipt and
sufficiency of consideration received from the Seller and the Company hereunder
in this regard.

Section 3. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

            All of the representations and warranties contained herein shall
survive the purchase of the Securities hereunder.

EXHIBIT C to the Warrant Agreement in the case of the Warrants and in the
Warrant Agreement in the case of the Shares, which each Purchaser has read and
understands.

            (ii) By accepting the Securities, each Purchaser agrees that it is
aware of the restrictive character of the securities, that it will hold such
securities for investment and that prior to any transfer of the Securities and
that it will give written notice to the Company expressing its desire to effect
such transfer and describing briefly the proposed transfer. Upon receiving such
notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to its counsel and each
Purchaser agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the
Securities unless and until:

            (a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made
in accordance with such registration statement, in which case the legends set
forth above with respect to the Securities sold pursuant to such registration
statement shall be removed; or

            (b) if reasonably requested by the Company, (A) each Purchaser shall
have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such
Securities under the Securities Act, (B) the Company shall have received
customary representations and warranties regarding the transferee that are
reasonably satisfactory to the Company signed by the proposed transferee and (C)
the Company shall have received an agreement by such transferee to the
restrictions contained in the legends referred to in (i) hereof.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser also understands and
acknowledges that the transfer of the Director Founder's Units, Director
Founder's Shares and the Director Initial Founder's Warrants and Director
Additional Founder's Warrants and the exercise of the Director Initial Founder's
Warrants and Director Additional Founder's Warrants are subject to the specific
conditions to such transfer or exercise as outlined herein and the Warrant
Agreement as to which each Purchaser specifically assents by its execution
hereof.

            (iii) The Company will, from time to time, make stop transfer
notations in its records and deliver stop transfer instructions to its transfer
agent to the extent its counsel considers it necessary to ensure compliance with
federal and state securities laws and the transfer restrictions contained
elsewhere in this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement.

      B. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any
of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the parties may not assign
this Agreement.

      C. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this
Agreement.

                                       6

      D. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or
more counterparts, none of which need contain the signatures of more than one
party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement.

      E. Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive
part of this Agreement. The use of the word "including" in this Agreement shall
be by way of example rather than by limitation.

under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be construed
in accordance with the internal laws of said State. The parties agree that, all
actions and proceedings arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions
