Gentlemen:

            This  letter  will  confirm  the  agreement  of the  undersigned  to

comprised  of one share of Common Stock and two  Warrants.  The shares of Common
Stock and  Warrants  will not be  separately  tradeable  until 90 days after the
effective  date of the  Company's  IPO  unless  EarlyBirdCapital,  Inc.  ("EBC")
informs the Company of its decision to allow earlier separate trading.

            The  undersigned  agrees that this letter  agreement  constitutes an
irrevocable order for EBC to purchase for the  undersigned's  account within the
forty-trading day period commencing on the date separate trading of the Warrants
commences  ("Separation  Date") up to _________ Warrants at market prices not to
exceed $0.70 per Warrant ("Maximum Warrant Purchase"). EBC (or such other broker
dealer(s)  as EBC may  assign  the order to)  agrees to fill such  order in such
amounts and at such times as it may determine,  in its sole  discretion,  during
the  forty-trading  day period  commencing on the  Separation  Date. EBC further
agrees that it will not charge the undersigned any fees and/or  commissions with
respect to such purchase obligation.

            The  undersigned  may  notify  EBC that  all or part of the  Maximum
Warrant  Purchase  will be made by an affiliate of the  undersigned  (or another
person or entity  introduced to EBC by the undersigned (a  "Designee"))  who (or
which) has an account at EBC and, in such event,  EBC will make such purchase on
behalf of said affiliate or Designee;  provided,  however,  that the undersigned
hereby  agrees to make  payment of the  purchase  price of such  purchase in the
event that the affiliate or Designee fails to make such payment.

            The undersigned agrees that neither he nor any affiliate or Designee
shall sell or transfer the Warrants  until after the  consummation  of a merger,
capital stock exchange,  asset acquisition or other similar business combination
with an operating  business  and  acknowledges  that,  at the option of EBC, the
certificates   for  such  Warrants  shall  contain  a  legend   indicating  such
restriction on transferability.

                                        Very truly yours,



                                        ----------------------------------------
