EDUCATION MEDIA, INC.

	No.                 	 	CUSIP No. 28140C 113

VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON [                        ], 2013,

OR UPON EARLIER REDEMPTION (IF APPLICABLE)  

        This certifies that                        , or its registered
assigns, is the registered holder of                        warrants to purchase certain securities (each a
"Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof, subject to the provisions contained herein and in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below), to
purchase from Education Media, Inc.., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), one (1) share of the Company's Common Stock (each a
"Share"), at the Exercise Price set forth below. The exercise price of each Warrant (the "Exercise
Price") shall be $7.50 initially, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. 

        Subject
to the terms of the Warrant Agreement (as defined below), each Warrant evidenced hereby may be exercised in whole, but not in part, at any time, as specified herein, on any
Business Day (as defined below) occurring during the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing on the later of the Company's consummation of a Business
Combination (as defined below) or [                        ], 2009 and ending at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
earlier to occur of
[                        ], 2013 or the Redemption Date, if applicable (the "Expiration
Date"). Each Warrant remaining unexercised after
5:00 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights of the holder of this Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant shall cease. 

        The
holder of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate may exercise any Warrant evidenced hereby by delivering, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on any
Business Day during the Exercise Period (the "Exercise Date") to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Warrant
Agent", which term includes any successor warrant agent under the Warrant Agreement described below) at its corporate trust department at 17 Battery Place, New York, NY 10004,
(i) this Warrant Certificate, (ii) an election to purchase ("Election to Purchase"), properly executed by the holder hereof on the reverse
of this Warrant Certificate (the "Participant") substantially in the form included on the reverse of this Warrant, as applicable and (iii) the
Exercise Price for each Warrant to be exercised in lawful money of the United States of America by certified or official bank check or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds. If any of
(a) this Warrant Certificate, (b) the Election to Purchase, or (c) the Exercise Price therefor, is received by the Warrant Agent after 5:00 P.M., New York City time, the
Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the Business Day next succeeding the date such items are received and such date shall be the Exercise Date for purposes hereof. If the date such
items are received is not a Business Day, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such date shall be the Exercise Date. If the
Warrants to be exercised are received or deemed to be received after the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent will be returned to
the holder as soon as practicable. In no event will interest accrue on funds deposited with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants. 

The
validity of any exercise of Warrants will be determined by the Warrant Agent in its sole discretion and such determination will be final and binding upon the holder of the Warrants and the
Company. Neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall have any obligation to inform a holder of Warrants of the invalidity of any exercise of Warrants. 

        As
used herein, the term "Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and is not a United States federal holiday or a day
on which banking institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law or regulation to close in New York City. 

        As
used herein, the term "Business Combination" shall mean the initial acquisition by the Company of one or more operating businesses
through a merger, capital stock exchange, stock purchase, asset acquisition or other similar business combination having collectively, a fair market value (as calculated in accordance with the
Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time) of at least 80% of the amount in the trust account established by the Company at the
completion of its initial public offering (excluding the Underwriters' (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) deferred discount) at the time of such acquisition. 

        Warrants
may be exercised only in whole numbers of Warrants. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, but rather the number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are exercised, a new Warrant Certificate for the
number of Warrants remaining unexercised shall be executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent as provided in Section 2 of the Warrant Agreement, and delivered to the holder
of this Warrant Certificate at the address specified on the books of the Warrant Agent or as otherwise specified by such Registered Holder. 

        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares 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 "Securities Act"), with respect to the Shares is effective and a current prospectus is on
file with the Commission. In the event that a registration statement with respect to the Shares underlying a Warrant is not effective under the Securities Act or a current prospectus is not on file
with the Commission, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below) and this Warrant
Certificate, under no circumstances will the Company be required to net cash settle a Warrant exercise. Warrants may not be exercised by, or Shares issued to, any registered holder in any state in
which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful. For the avoidance of doubt, as a result of Section 3.3.4 of the Warrant Agreement and the foregoing, any or all of the Warrants may expire
unexercised. 

        This
Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, dated as of [            ], 2008 (the "Warrant
Agreement"), between the Company and the Warrant Agent and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions the
holder of this Warrant Certificate and the beneficial owners of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate consent by acceptance hereof. Copies of the Warrant Agreement are on file and can
be inspected at the above-mentioned office of the Warrant Agent and at the office of the Company at 1700 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Suite 900, Washington, DC 20007. 

        At
any time during the Exercise Period, the Company may, at its option, redeem all (but not part) of the then outstanding Warrants upon giving notice in accordance with the terms of the
Warrant Agreement (the "Redemption Notice"), at the price of $0.01 per Warrant (the "Redemption Price");  provided, that the last sales price of the Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange, or other principal market on which the Common Stock may be
traded, equals or exceeds $13.75 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days prior to the
date on which the Redemption Notice is given, and a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is effective and expected
to remain effective to and including the Redemption Date (as defined below) and a prospectus relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is available for use to and
including the Redemption Date. In the event the Company shall elect to redeem all of the then outstanding Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for such redemption (the
"Redemption Date"); provided, that such date shall occur prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period.
The Warrants may be exercised in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at any time after a Redemption Notice shall have been given by the Company; 

 provided, however, that no Warrants may be exercised subsequent to the expiration of the Exercise Period;  provided, further, that all rights whatsoever with respect to the Warrants shall cease on the Redemption
Date, other than to the right to receive the Redemption Price. 

        The
accrual of dividends, if any, on the Shares issued upon the valid exercise of any Warrant will be governed by the terms generally applicable to such Shares. From and after the
issuance of such Shares, the former holder of the Warrants exercised will be entitled to the benefits generally available to other holders of Shares and such former holder's right to receive payments
of dividends and any other amounts payable in respect of the Shares shall be governed by, and shall be subject to, the terms and provisions generally applicable to such Shares. 

        The
Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment as provided pursuant to Section 4 of the Warrant
Agreement. 

        Prior
to the Detachment Date, the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate may be exchanged or transferred only together with the Shares to which such Warrant is attached
(together, a "Unit"), and only for the purpose of effecting, or in conjunction with, an exchange or transfer of such Unit. Additionally, prior to the
Detachment Date, each transfer of such Unit on the register of the Units shall operate also to transfer the Warrants included in such Units. From and after the Detachment Date, the above provisions
shall be of no further force and effect. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer or exchange of this Warrant Certificate at the stock transfer division of the Warrant Agent, the Company
shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, as provided in Section 5 of the Warrant Agreement, in the name of the designated transferee one or more new Warrant
Certificates of any authorized denomination evidencing in the aggregate a like number of unexercised Warrants, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement. 

        Neither
this Warrant Certificate nor the Warrants evidenced hereby shall entitle the holder hereof or thereof to any of the rights of a holder of the Shares, including, without
limitation, the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or to exercise voting rights, if any. 

        The
Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Certificate may be amended as provided in the Warrant Agreement including, under certain circumstances described therein, without the consent of
the holder of this Warrant Certificate or the Warrants evidenced hereby. 

        THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE AND ALL RIGHTS HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE WARRANT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS FORMED AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF TO THE EXTENT SUCH
PRINCIPLES OR RULES WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

        This
Warrant Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Warrant Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced hereby may be exercised,
unless this Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Warrant Agent. 

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

OR UPON EARLIER REDEMPTION (IF APPLICABLE)  

        This certifies that                        , or its registered
assigns, is the registered holder of                        warrants to purchase certain securities (each a
"Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof, subject to the provisions contained herein and in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below), to
purchase from Education Media, Inc.., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), one (1) share of the Company's Common Stock (each a
"Share"), at the Exercise Price set forth below. The exercise price of each Warrant (the "Exercise
Price") shall be $7.50 initially, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. 

        Subject
to the terms of the Warrant Agreement (as defined below), each Warrant evidenced hereby may be exercised in whole, but not in part, at any time, as specified herein, on any
Business Day (as defined below) occurring during the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing on the later of the Company's consummation of a Business
Combination (as defined below) or [                        ], 2009 and ending at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the

[                        ], 2013 or the Redemption Date, if applicable (the "Expiration

5:00 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights of the holder of this Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant shall cease. 

        The
holder of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate may exercise any Warrant evidenced hereby by delivering, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on any
Business Day during the Exercise Period (the "Exercise Date") to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Warrant
Agent", which term includes any successor warrant agent under the Warrant Agreement described below) at its corporate trust department at 17 Battery Place, New York, NY 10004,
(i) this Warrant Certificate, (ii) an election to purchase ("Election to Purchase"), properly executed by the holder hereof on the reverse
of this Warrant Certificate (the "Participant") substantially in the form included on the reverse of this Warrant, as applicable and (iii) the
Exercise Price for each Warrant to be exercised in lawful money of the United States of America by certified or official bank check or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds;  provided,
however, that with respect to Warrants issued and sold in a private placement prior to the
completion of the Company's Initial Public Offering (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), so long as any such Warrants are held by their original purchaser or its permitted transferrees, the holder
of this Warrant Certificate may, in lieu of payment of the Exercise Price, surrender its Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the surrendered Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the Fair Market Value (defined below) and the Exercise Price by (y) the
Fair Market Value. The "Fair Market Value" shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the 3rd
trading day prior to the date on which the Election to Purchase is sent to the Warrant Agent. If any of (a) this 

Warrant
Certificate, (b) the Election to Purchase, or (c) the Exercise Price therefor [or surrendered
Warrants], is received by the Warrant Agent after 5:00 P.M., New York City time, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and
exercised on the Business Day next succeeding the date such items are received and such date shall be the Exercise Date for purposes hereof. If the date such items are received is not a Business Day,
the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such date shall be the Exercise Date. If the Warrants to be exercised are received or
deemed to be received after the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent will be returned to the holder as soon as practicable. In no
event will interest accrue on funds deposited with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants. The validity of any exercise of Warrants will be determined by the
Warrant Agent in its sole discretion and such determination will be final and binding upon the holder of the Warrants and the Company. Neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall have any
obligation to inform a holder of Warrants of the invalidity of any exercise of Warrants. 

        As
used herein, the term "Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and is not a United States federal holiday or a day
on which banking institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law or regulation to close in New York City. 

        As
used herein, the term "Business Combination" shall mean the initial acquisition by the Company of one or more operating businesses
through a merger, capital stock exchange, stock purchase, asset acquisition or other similar business combination having collectively, a fair market value (as calculated in accordance with the
Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time) of at least 80% of the amount in the trust account established by the Company at the
completion of its initial public offering (excluding the Underwriters' (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) deferred discount) at the time of such acquisition. 

        Warrants
may be exercised only in whole numbers of Warrants. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, but rather the number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. If fewer than all of the Warrants
evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are exercised, a new Warrant Certificate for the number of Warrants remaining unexercised shall be executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent
as provided in Section 2 of the Warrant Agreement, and delivered to the holder of this Warrant Certificate at the address specified on the books of the Warrant Agent or as otherwise specified
by such Registered Holder. 

        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares 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 "Securities Act"), with respect to the Shares is effective and a
current prospectus is on file with the Commission. In the event that a registration statement with respect to the Shares underlying a Warrant is not effective under the Securities Act or a current
prospectus is not on file with the Commission, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Warrant Agreement (as defined
below) and this Warrant Certificate, under no circumstances will the Company be required to net cash settle a Warrant exercise. Warrants may not be exercised by, or Shares issued to, any registered
holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful. For the avoidance of doubt, as a result of Section 3.3.4 of the Warrant Agreement and the foregoing, any or all of the
Warrants may expire unexercised. 

        This
Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, dated as of [            ], 2008 (the "Warrant
Agreement"), between the Company and the Warrant Agent and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions the
holder of this Warrant Certificate and the beneficial owners of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate consent by acceptance hereof. Copies of the Warrant Agreement are on file and can
be inspected at the above-mentioned office of the Warrant Agent and at the office of the Company at 1700 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Suite 900, Washington, DC 20007. 

        At
any time during the Exercise Period, the Company may, at its option, redeem all (but not part) of the then outstanding Warrants upon giving notice in accordance with the terms of the
Warrant Agreement (the "Redemption Notice"), at the price of $0.01 per Warrant (the "Redemption Price");  provided, that the last sales price of the Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange, or other principal market on which the Common Stock may be
traded, equals or exceeds $13.75 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement) for any 20 trading days within a 30 

trading
day period ending three business days prior to the date on which the Redemption Notice is given, and a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is effective and expected to remain effective to and including the Redemption Date (as defined below) and a prospectus relating to the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is available for use to and including the Redemption Date. In the event the Company shall elect to redeem all of the then outstanding Warrants, the Company shall
fix a date for such redemption (the "Redemption Date"); provided, that such date shall occur prior to
the expiration of the Exercise Period. The Warrants may be exercised in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at any time after a Redemption Notice shall have been given by the Company;  provided,
however, that no Warrants may be exercised subsequent to the expiration of the Exercise
Period; provided, further, that all rights whatsoever with respect to the Warrants shall cease on the
Redemption Date, other than to the right to receive the Redemption Price. 

        The
accrual of dividends, if any, on the Shares issued upon the valid exercise of any Warrant will be governed by the terms generally applicable to such Shares. From and after the
issuance of such Shares, the former holder of the Warrants exercised will be entitled to the benefits generally available to other holders of Shares and such former holder's right to receive payments
of dividends and any other amounts payable in respect of the Shares shall be governed by, and shall be subject to, the terms and provisions generally applicable to such Shares. 

        The
Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment as provided pursuant to Section 4 of the Warrant
Agreement. 

        Neither
this Warrant Certificate nor the Warrants evidenced hereby shall entitle the holder hereof or thereof to any of the rights of a holder of the Shares, including, without
limitation, the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or to exercise voting rights, if any. 

        The
Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Certificate may be amended as provided in the Warrant Agreement including, under certain circumstances described therein, without the consent of
the holder of this Warrant Certificate or the Warrants evidenced hereby. 

        THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE AND ALL RIGHTS HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE WARRANT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS FORMED AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF TO THE EXTENT SUCH
PRINCIPLES OR RULES WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

        This
Warrant Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Warrant Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced hereby may be exercised,
unless this Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Warrant Agent. 

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.
