    THIS
      CERTIFIES THAT_________________________________________________

    

    is
      the
      owner of ____________________________________________________Units.

    

    Each
      Unit
      (“Unit”) consists of one (1) share of common stock, par value $.0001 per share
      (“Common Stock”), of Apex Bioventures Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
      corporation (the “Company”), and one warrant (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant
      entitles the holder to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock for $6.00 per
      share (subject to adjustment). Each Warrant will become exercisable on the
      later
      of (i) the Company’s completion of a business combination, as further described
      in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 initially filed with the
      Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13, 2006 (File No. 333-_______),
      as
      amended, and (ii) ___________, 2007, and will expire unless exercised before
      5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on ____________, 2010, or earlier upon redemption
      (the “Expiration Date”). The Common Stock and Warrants comprising the Units
      represented by this certificate shall commence separate trading as promptly
      as
      practicable after the earlier to occur of the expiration or termination of
      the
      underwriters’ over-allotment option in connection with the Company’s initial
      public offering; provided, that, in no event may the Common Stock and Warrants
      be traded separately until the Company has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K
      which includes an audited balance sheet reflecting its receipt of the proceeds
      of its initial public offering of securities, including any proceeds received
      from the exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option if so
      exercised prior to the Company’s filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K. The
      terms of the Warrants are governed by a Warrant Agreement, dated as of _______,
      2006, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as
      Warrant Agent, and are subject to the terms and provisions contained therein,
      all of which terms and provisions the holder of this certificate consents to
      by
      acceptance hereof. Copies of the Warrant Agreement are on file at the office
      of
      the Warrant Agent at 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004, and are
      available to any Warrant holder on written request and without cost.

    

    This
      certificate is not valid unless countersigned by the Transfer Agent and
      Registrar of the Company.
