     WHEREAS, EarlyBirdCapital through its subsidiaries provides Internet
investment banking, research, securities brokerage and trading services; and

     WHEREAS, EarlyBirdCapital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RPII. Upon
consummation of an intended private placement offering of EarlyBirdCapital RPII
will no longer be the sole shareholder of EBC but will retain its majority
position therein.

     WHEREAS, EarlyBird desires RPII to continue to provide services to
EarlyBirdCapital and RPII is willing to continue to provide services to EBC on a
cost reimbursement basis in accordance with the terms and conditions herein
provided.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises contained herein,
the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

     1. Services by RPII. As requested by EarlyBirdCapital, RPII will provide
services to EarlyBirdCapital in connection with the operation of
EarlyBirdCapital's business, including rendering services regarding: accounting
and bookkeeping, financial planning and financial reporting, internal audit,
records management, payroll management, purchasing assistance, regulatory
compliance, human resources management, compliance assistance, tax reporting and
tax filing, financial analysis and office services. These services may be
changed from time to time upon mutual consent. Services may be provided by RPII
or any of its affiliates, as determined by RPII. In addition, EarlyBirdCapital
will be permitted to use office space of RPII at One State Street Plaza, New
York, New York as mutually agreed upon by RPII and EarlyBirdCapital.

     2. Reimbursement by EarlyBirdCapital. In compensation for RPII's services,
EarlyBirdCapital will pay to RPII its direct and reasonable costs related to
performing such services, including all of RPII's overhead and related expenses
attributable to performing the services. The office space of RPII used by
EarlyBirdCapital will be compensated for on the basis of allocable square
footage used by EarlyBirdCapital at the rate RPII is required to pay under its
lease. This obligation will extend to reimbursement for the cost of services
performed prior to the effective date of this Agreement which have been accrued,
but not paid. All invoices will be due and payable within 10 days of receipt.
RPII, unless otherwise agreed, will not be obligated to advance funds for the
costs or expenses of EarlyBirdCapital's operations or obligations.

     3. Services by EarlyBirdCapital. EarlyBirdCapital will provide services to
RPII within EarlyBirdCapital's then ordinary scope of business, from time to
time, as requested by RPII.

     4. Reimbursement by RPII. In compensation for EarlyBirdCapital's services,
RPII will pay to EarlyBirdCapital its direct and reasonable costs related to
performing such services including all of its overhead and related expenses
attributable to performing the services. All invoices will be due and payable

<PAGE>

within 10 days of receipt. EarlyBirdCapital, unless otherwise agreed, will not
be obligated to advance funds for the costs or expenses of RPII operations or
obligations.

     5. Third-Party Services for EarlyBirdCapital. Using commercially reasonable
efforts, RPII will arrange for certain services of independent third-parties to
provide certain of the services, which are referenced in subsection 1 above, to
EarlyBirdCapital. Third-party services may include, but not be limited to,
suppliers of goods and services, bank services, clearing services, warehouse
charges for centralized records storage, delivery charges, and tax preparation
and payment. The costs that are incurred by EarlyBirdCapital to third-party
suppliers of services or products will be reimbursed promptly (at actual cost)
to RPII or paid directly to the third-party suppliers. RPII will submit to
EarlyBirdCapital all bills or other supporting documentation relating to
third-party suppliers. To the extent third-party services are incurred for the
benefit of all affiliates of RPII, these costs will be reimbursed by
EarlyBirdCapital on an allocated basis, provided that the allocation will be
applied consistently among all the affiliates based on the use of the services
supplied by the third-party. Payment to third-party suppliers as among RPII,
EarlyBirdCapital and affiliates of RPII will be on terms at least as favorable
as EarlyBirdCapital could obtain them from third-party suppliers on an
independent basis.

     6. Standard of Care. RPII and EarlyBirdCapital will provide the services
described herein during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the terms
and conditions set forth herein. Each of RPII and EarlyBirdCapital will perform
its responsibilities hereunder in a diligent, careful and vigilant manner. The
services are to be of a scope and quality not less than those generally
performed by the RPII or EarlyBirdCapital employees for the benefit of their
respective employers. Each of RPII and EarlyBirdCapital will make available to
the other the full benefit of the judgement, experience and advice of the
employees performing services for the other.

     7. Personnel. In performances of the services hereunder, each of RPII and
EarlyBirdCapital may use their personnel or the personnel of their affiliates as
may be necessary to perform the obligations required by this Agreement at their
expense. The cost of the services performed by such employee, however, shall be
reimbursed by the party on whose behalf the services were performed in
accordance with Sections 2 or 4 hereof, as the case may be.

     8. Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date the
registration statement filed by EarlyBirdCapital Holding with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") is declared effective by the SEC and will end on the
earlier of (i) the date that RPII no longer owns 50% of the outstanding capital
stock of EarlyBirdCapital Holding having the right to cast a majority of the
votes entitled to vote on all matters on which the holders of the common stock
of EarlyBirdCapital are entitled to vote, or (ii) the third anniversary of the
date of this Agreement.

     EarlyBirdCapital will have the right to terminate this Agreement
immediately: (i) if RPII is in material breach of any of its obligations
hereunder, which breach is not cured within 20 days of receipt of written notice
from EarlyBirdCapital of the breach, (ii) if RPII is the subject of a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy or any voluntary proceeding relating to insolvency,
