PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

           The estimated expenses payable by us in connection with the offering described in this registration statement (other than the underwriting discount and commissions and the representative’s non-accountable expense allowance) will be as follows:

Initial Trustees’ fee $1,000 (1)
SEC Registration Fee $6,178  
FINRA filing fee $12,000  
American Stock Exchange filing and listing fee $70,000  
Accounting fees and expenses $60,000

Legal fees and expenses $400,000  
Miscellaneous $80,822  
      Total $800,000  

(1) In addition to the initial acceptance fee that is charged by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, the registrant will be required to pay to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company annual fees of $3,000 for acting as trustee, $4,800 for acting as transfer agent of the registrant’s common stock, $2,400 for acting as warrant agent for the registrant’s warrants.

(2) This amount represents the approximate amount of director and officer liability insurance premiums the registrant anticipates paying following the consummation of its initial public offering and until it consummates a business combination.

(3) This amount represents additional expenses that may be incurred by the Company in connection with the offering over and above those specifically listed above, including distribution and mailing costs.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

           Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that all directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

           Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.

           “Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.

           (a) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’



fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

           (b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

           (c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

           (d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

           (e) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.



           (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

           (g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.

           (h) For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

           (i) For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

           (j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

           (k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).”

           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate



jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

           Paragraph B of Article [        ] of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides:

           “The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.”

           Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement, we have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters and the Underwriters have agreed to indemnify us against certain civil liabilities that may be incurred in connection with this offering, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

           On July 16, 2007, we sold 2,875,000 of our shares (375,000 of which we are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option) to our Chief Executive Officer, Paul K. Kelly and our President, James D. Dunning, Jr., for an aggregate purchase price of $28,750 in a private placement.

           On [                          ], 2007, our founders and special advisors agreed to purchase 2,750,000 warrants immediately prior to the consummation of our initial public offering in a private placement at an aggregate purchase price of $2.75 million. These warrants will be issued in reliance on an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) as they will be sold to sophisticated, wealthy individuals. No underwriting discounts or commissions will be payable with respect to the warrants sold in the private placement.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a)         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

           (1)        To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                     i.           To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;



                      ii.      To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
                
    iii.      To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
 

(2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)         To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)         That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

       
   

           (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

           (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

           (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

           (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser

(b)         The undersigned hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

(c)         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and



Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
            
 

(1)         For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)         For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Exhibit 3.1

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF CHINA HOLDINGS ACQUISITION CORP.

CHINA HOLDINGS ACQUISITION CORP., a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies as follows:

         FIRST: The name of the Corporation is China Holdings Acquisition Corp.

         SECOND: The registered office of the Corporation is located at 615 South Dupont Highway, in the City of Dover, in the County of Kent, in the State of Delaware 19901. The name of its registered agent at that address is National Corporate Research, Ltd.

         THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may now or hereafter be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

         FOURTH: The Corporation’s existence shall terminate on _______________, [2010] (the “Termination Date”) except for the purpose of winding up the Corporation’s affairs and liquidation pursuant to section 278 of the DGCL. In the event that the Corporation submits an Initial Business Combination (as defined in Article Sixth below) to its stockholders for a vote pursuant to Article Sixth, paragraph A, it shall submit this provision to its stockholders concurrently for amendment to permit the Corporation’s continued existence. This provision may only be amended in connection with, and become effective upon, the consummation of the Initial Business Combination.

         FIFTH: The Corporation is authorized to issue a total of 41,000,000 shares, consisting of two classes of stock, designated “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares of Common Stock the Corporation is authorized to issue is 40,000,000, with a par value of $0.001 per share. The total number of shares of Preferred Stock the Corporation is authorized to issue is 1,000,000, with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

A.      Preferred Stock . The Board of Directors may from time to time issue shares of Preferred   Stock in one or more series and without stockholder approval. The Board of Directors may fix for each series it is authorized to issue such voting rights, full or limited, and such designations, powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the DGCL. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required to take such action pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation.


B.        Common Stock . Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of Common Stock shall possess exclusively all voting power, and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote.

         SIXTH: Paragraphs A through I below shall apply during the period commencing upon consummation of the Corporation’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and terminating upon consummation of any Initial Business Combination, and may not be amended during the “Target Business Acquisition Period” without the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation.

         An “Initial Business Combination” shall mean the acquisition or the acquisition of control by the Corporation of one or more operating businesses having their primary operations in Asia through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination or contractual arrangements, (the “Target Business” or “Target Businesses”) having, individually or collectively, a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) at the time of such acquisition. Any acquisition of multiple Target Businesses shall occur simultaneously. The Corporation may acquire less than 100% of the interests or assets of the Target Business but will not acquire less than a controlling interest, which would be at least 51% of the voting securities of the Target Business.

         The “Target Business Acquisition Period” shall mean the period from the consummation of the IPO up to and including the earlier to occur of (i) an Initial Business Combination or (ii) the Termination Date.

         “IPO Shares” shall mean such shares issued in connection with the Corporation’s IPO.

         The “Trust Account” shall mean the trust account established by the Corporation in connection with the consummation of its IPO and into which the Corporation will deposit a designated portion of the net proceeds from the IPO, including any amount that is or will be due and payable as deferred underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Deferred Underwriting Compensation”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into with the underwriters of the IPO.

         “Fair market value” for purposes of this Article Sixth shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation based upon financial standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential gross margins, the values of comparable businesses, earnings and cash flow, and book value. If the Corporation’s Board of Directors is not able to determine independently that the Target Business has a sufficient fair market value to meet the threshold criterion, it will obtain an opinion in that regard from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Corporation is not required to obtain an opinion from an investment banking firm as to the fair market value of the business if its Board of Directors independently determines that the Target Business or Businesses have sufficient fair market value to meet the threshold criterion.

A.      Prior to the consummation of any Initial Business Combination, the Corporation shall submit the Initial Business Combination to its stockholders for approval regardless of

2


      whether the Initial Business Combination is of a type that normally would require such stockholder approval under the DGCL. In addition to any other vote of stockholders of the Corporation required under applicable law or listing agreement, the Corporation may consummate the Initial Business Combination only if (i) approved by a majority of the IPO Shares voted at a duly held stockholders meeting (ii) stockholders owning no more than 33.33% (minus one share) of the IPO Shares vote cumulatively against the Initial Business Combination and the Extended Period (as defined below) and exercise their conversion rights described in paragraph D below and (iii) Article Fourth is amended to allow for the Corporation’s continued existence.
   
B.      In the event that the Corporation does not consummate an Initial Business Combination within 18 months after the consummation of the IPO and no letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement to consummate an Initial Business Combination has been executed (the “Eighteen Month Acquisition Date”), the officers of the Corporation shall take all action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Corporation within 60 days of the Eighteen Month Acquisition Date and shall not engage in any other business activities. In the event that the Corporation does not consummate an Initial Business Combination within 24 months after the consummation of the IPO in the event that either a letter of intent, an agreement an principle or a definitive agreement to consummate an Initial Business Combination was executed but no Initial Business Combination was executed within such 24 month period and the Extended Period (as defined below) is not submitted or approved, as applicable (the “Twenty-Four Month Acquisition Date” and the later of the Twenty-Four Month Acquisition Date and the Eighteen Month Acquisition Date being referred to as the “Initial Acquisition Date”), the officers of the Corporation shall take all action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Corporation within 60 days of the Twenty-Four Month Acquisition Date and shall not engage in any other business activities. In the event that the Board anticipates that the Corporation may not be able to consummate an Initial Business Combination within 24 months of the IPO, the Board may take all such action necessary to extend the time period within which the Corporation may complete the Initial Business Combination to 36 months (the “Extended Period”) in accordance with paragraph C below.
   
C.         If the Board of Director’s anticipates that the Corporation may not be able to consummate an Initial Business Combination within 24 months after the Consummation of the IPO and determines that the Extended Period is advisable in their judgment, a resolution to that effect shall be adopted by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, and the officers of the Corporation shall cause notice to be mailed to each stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon of the adoption of such resolution and of a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to take action upon such resolution in accordance with the DGCL (the “Extension Meeting”). To the fullest extent permitted by law and regardless of whether such action is of a type which normally would require such stockholder approval under the DGCL or other applicable law, the Board of Directors shall also submit a plan of distribution meeting the requirements of Section 281(b) of the DGCL (a “Plan of Distribution”) to its stockholders for approval at the Extension Meeting. In addition to any other vote of stockholders of the Corporation required under applicable law or listing agreement, the Corporation may extend the time period within which the Corporation may complete the Initial Business Combination to 36 months only

3


         if approved by a majority of the IPO Shares voted at the Extension Meeting and stockholders owning no more than 33.33% (minus one share) of the IPO Shares vote against the Extended Period and exercise their conversion rights described in paragraph D below.
 
D.      In the event that an Initial Business Combination or the Extended Period is approved in accordance with paragraphs A, B or C above, and the Initial Business Combination is consummated by the Corporation or the Extended Period is approved, stockholders holding IPO Shares who exercised their conversion rights and voted against the Initial Business Combination or the Extended Period may, subject to the availability of lawful funds therefor, demand that the Corporation convert their IPO Shares to cash at a per- share conversion price equal to (i) the aggregate amount then in the Trust Account (before payment of Deferred Underwriting Compensation and including accrued interest, net of any income taxes payable on such interest, which shall be paid from the Trust Account, and net of interest income earned on the Trust Account balance previously released to the Corporation to fund working capital requirements and net of any income taxes payable on such interest, which shall be paid from the Trust Account), calculated, in the case of the Initial Business Combination, as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of the Initial Business Combination, and in the case of the Extended Period, as of the date of the Extension Meeting, divided by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the IPO outstanding at that date (including shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option, if any).
   
E.      In the event that the Corporation has not completed the Initial Business Combination by the Initial Acquisition Date and if applicable the Extended Period has not been approved, the Board of Directors shall submit a Plan of Distribution to its stockholders for approval and the corporation shall not engage in any other business activities. If the Extended Period has been adopted and the Corporation does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by the Termination Date, all amounts in the Trust Account plus any other net assets of the Corporation not used for or reserved to pay obligations and claims or such other corporate expenses relating to or arising from the Corporation’s plan of dissolution and distribution, including costs of liquidating the Corporation, shall be distributed on a pro rata basis to holders of the IPO Shares. The Corporation shall pay no liquidating distributions with respect to any shares of capital stock of the Corporation other than IPO Shares. If the Extended Period is approved and holders of 33.33% or more of the IPO Shares do not elect to redeem their shares in connection with the vote for the Extended Period, and we are unable to consummate our Initial Business Combination within the Extended Period, as soon as practicable thereafter the Corporation will adopt a plan of distribution in accordance with Section 281(b) of the DGCL.
 
F.      A holder of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event: (i) of a liquidation of the Corporation; (i) that the Corporation does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by the Termination Date; or (iii) such holder demands conversion of its shares in accordance with paragraph D above. Except as may be required under applicable law, in no other circumstances shall any holder of shares of Common Stock have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Account or any amount or other property held therein.
 
G.      Unless and until the Corporation has consummated an Initial Business Combination as permitted under this Article Sixth, the Corporation may not consummate any other business combination, whether by merger, capital stock exchange, stock purchase, asset acquisition or control through contractual arrangements or similar transaction or

4


         otherwise. The Corporation will not enter into an Initial Business Combination with any entity (i) that is an affiliate of any of our officers or directors, (ii) in which any of our officers or directors owns any of such entity's outstanding common equity securities, (iii) in which any fund managed by our officers or directors has a financial interest or (iv) in which any of our officers or directors has an investment in debt or preferred stock and such entity is in default on any of its debt or preferred stock instruments.
   
H.      The Corporation shall not, and no employee of the Corporation shall, disburse or cause to be disbursed any of the proceeds held in the Trust Account except (i) for the payment of the Corporation’s income tax liability associated with the interest income earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Account, (ii) for the release of interest income to the Corporation to fund the Corporation’s working capital requirements, (iii) in connection with an Initial Business Combination or thereafter, including the payment of any Deferred Underwriting Compensation in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, (iv) upon the Corporation’s liquidation or (v) as otherwise set forth herein.
   
I. Between the date of consummation of the IPO and the date of consummation of the Initial Business Combination, the Corporation will not issue any additional shares of capital stock, rights, warrants, options or other securities convertible into shares of capital stock of the Corporation, except (a) as part of the consideration for the Initial Business Combination, provided that any such securities shall be issued only on the date on which such Initial Business Combination is consummated, and, provided further , that any such shares of capital stock issued as part of the consideration for such Initial Business Combination shall be of a different class of stock than the Common Stock issued in connection with the IPO and shall not (i) participate in liquidating distributions of the Trust Account or (ii) vote on the approval of any Initial Business Combination, the Extended Period or the extension of the Termination Date or (b) upon the exercise of any rights, warrants or options issued by the Corporation.

         SEVENTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

A.      The number of directors of the Corporation shall be such as from time to time shall be fixed and determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.
   
B. The Board of Directors shall have powers without the assent or vote of the stockholders to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation; to fix and vary the amount to be reserved for any proper purpose; to authorize and cause to be executed mortgages and liens upon all or any part of the property of the Corporation; to determine the use and disposition of any surplus or net profits; and to fix the times for the declaration and payment of dividends.
   
C. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the  

5


  stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote at such meeting (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interest, or for any other reason.
 
D.      In addition to the powers and authorities granted hereby or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of this Certificate of Incorporation, and to the Bylaws; provided, however, that no Bylaws so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such By-law had not been made.
 
E.        Except as may otherwise be provided in the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), any vacancy in the Board of Directors, whether arising from death, resignation, removal, an increase in the number of directors or any other cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum by the sole remaining director or by the stockholders. Each director so elected shall hold office until the expiration of the term of office of the director whom he or she has replaced or until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified.

         EIGHTH: The following paragraphs shall apply with respect to liability and indemnification of officers and directors:

A.       A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for any act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph A shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
 
B.      The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon

6


           receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.  

         NINTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under Section 291 of Title 8 of the DGCL or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under Section 279 of Title 8 of the DGCL order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation. This Article Ninth is subject to the requirements set forth in Article Sixth, and any conflict arising in respect of the terms set forth hereunder and thereunder shall be resolved by reference to the terms set forth in Article Sixth.

         TENTH: Subject to the provisions set forth in Article Fourth and Sixth, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this certificate of incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law, and all rights and powers conferred herein on stockholders, directors and officers are subject to this reserved power.

           WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants; and

           WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants; and

           WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement.

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

           1.       Appointment of Warrant Agent .

                   2.1      Form of Warrant . Each Public Warrant and Placement Warrant shall be (a) issued in registered form only, (b) in substantially the forms of Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 hereto, respectively, the provisions of which are incorporated herein, (c) signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board or, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, and the Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, and (d) shall bear a facsimile of the Company’s seal. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.



                     2.2      Effect of Countersignature . Unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof. Warrant certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by the Warrant Agent.

                     2.3      Registration .

                              2.3.1       Warrant Register . The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“ Warrant Register ”), for the registration of the original issuance and transfers of the Warrants.

                              2.3.2       Registered Holder . Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant shall be registered upon the Warrant Register (“ Registered Holder ”), as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the warrant certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

                     2.4      Detachability of Warrants . The securities comprising the Units will not be separately transferable until 35 days after the date hereof unless Citigroup Global Markets Inc. informs the Company of its decision to allow earlier separate trading (the “ Detachment Date ”), but in no event will Citigroup Global Markets Inc. allow separate trading of the securities comprising the Units until the Company files a Current Report on Form 8-K which includes an audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by the Company of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering, including the proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option, if the over-allotment option is exercised prior to the filing of the Form 8-K.

           3.        Terms and Exercise of Warrants .

                     3.1       Warrant Price . Each Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $7.50 per whole share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 3.1. The term “ Warrant Price ” as used in this Warrant Agreement refers to the price per share at which Common Stock may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised. The Company, in its sole discretion, may lower the Warrant Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below); provided, that any such reduction shall be identical in percentage terms among all of the Warrants.

                     3.2       Duration of Warrants . A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (“ Exercise Period ”) commencing on the later of (a) the consummation by the Company of a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, reorganization or other similar business combination, as described more fully in the Company’s Registration Statement (“ Business Combination ”), or (b) [ one year from the date of the prospectus ] 2008, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier to occur of (i) [ five years from the date of the prospectus ], 2012, or (ii) the date fixed for redemption of the Warrants as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement (“ Expiration Date ”). Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as set forth in Section 6 hereunder), each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration Date. The Company may extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Company will provide notice to registered holders of the Warrants of such extension of not less than 20 days

2



                     3.3       Exercise of Warrants .

                              3.3.1       Payment . Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Warrant Agreement, a Warrant, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by surrendering it, at the office of the Warrant Agent, or at the office of its successor as Warrant Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, with the subscription form, as set forth in the Warrant, duly executed, and by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States, in cash, good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the Company (or as otherwise agreed to by the Company), the Warrant Price for each full share of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for the Common Stock, and the issuance of the Common Stock.

                              3.3.2       Issuance of Certificates . As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and, if such Warrant shall not have been exercised or surrendered in full, a new countersigned Warrant for the number of shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised or surrendered. Subject to Section 7.4 and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant unless (a) a registration statement under the Act with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is available for delivery to the Warrant holders or (b) in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the exercise of the Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which the Registered Holder resides. Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Registered Holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful. In the event a registration statement under the Act with respect to the Common Stock underlying the Warrants is not effective or a prospectus is not available, or because such exercise would be unlawful with respect to a Registered Holder in any state, the Registered Holder shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrants and such Warrants may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be obligated to pay such Registered Holder any cash consideration upon exercise (unless pursuant to Section 4.5) or otherwise “net cash settle” the Warrant. In the event that a Registration Statement is not effective for the exercised Warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such Warrants, will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the shares of Common Stock included in such Unit.

                              3.3.3       Valid Issuance . All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise or surrender of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                              3.3.4       Date of Issuance . Each person or entity in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

           4.         Adjustments .

                     4.1       Stock Dividends - Split-Ups . If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

3



                     4.2       Aggregation of Shares . If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

                     4.3       Adjustments in Exercise Price . Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price, immediately prior to such adjustment, by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

                     4.4       Extraordinary Dividends . If the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period, shall pay a dividend in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (w) as described in Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.5, (x) regular quarterly or other periodic dividends, (y) in connection with the conversion rights of the holders of Common Stock upon consummation of the Company’s Initial Business Combination (as such term is used in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) or (z) in connection with the Company’s liquidation and the distribution of its assets upon its failure to consummate a Business Combination (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend.

                     4.5       Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change covered by Sections 4.1 or 4.2 hereof or one that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or, in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or, in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Warrant holders shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Warrant holder would have received if such Warrant holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Sections 4.1 or 4.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.5. The provisions of this Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

                     4.6       Notices of Changes in Warrant . Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 the Company shall give written notice to each Warrant holder, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

4



                     4.7       No Fractional Shares . Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder.

                     4.8       Form of Warrant . The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

                     4.9       Notice of Certain Transactions . In the event that the Company shall propose to (a) offer the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (b) issue any rights, options or warrants entitling the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or (c) make a tender offer, redemption offer or exchange offer with respect to the Common Stock, the Company shall send to the Warrant holders a notice of such proposed action or offer. Such notice shall be mailed to the registered holders at their addresses as they appear in the Warrant Register, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or rights, or the date such issuance or event is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock and on the number and kind of any other shares of stock and on other property, if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to this Article 4 which would be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be given as promptly as practicable after the Board has determined to take any such action and (x) in the case of any action covered by clause (a) or (b) above at least 10 days prior to the record date for determining the holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action or (y) in the case of any other such action at least 20 days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.

                     4.10      Other Events . If any event occurs as to which the foregoing provisions of this Article 4 are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not, in the good faith judgment of the Board, fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the registered holders of the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of the Board, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid.

           5.        Transfer and Exchange of Warrants .

                     5.1       Transfer of Warrants .

Furthermore, each transfer of a Public Unit on the register relating to such Units shall operate also to transfer the Warrants included in such Unit. From and after the Detachment Date this Section 5.1 will have no further force and effect.

                     5.3       Procedure for Surrender of Warrants . Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and, thereupon, the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that, in the event a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and shall issue new Warrants in exchange therefor until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

                     5.4       Fractional Warrants . The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a fraction of a warrant.

                     5.5       Service Charges . No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.

                     5.6       Warrant Execution and Countersignature .

           6.        Redemption .

                     6.1       Redemption . Subject to the penultimate and final sentences of this Section 6.1, not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time after they become exercisable and there is an effective Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants current and available and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon the notice referred to in Section 6.2, in whole but not in part, at the price of $.01 per Warrant (“ Redemption Price ”), provided that the last sales price of the Common Stock has been equal to or greater than $14.25 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within a thirty (30) trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. No Placement Warrants shall be redeemable so long as such Placement Warrant is held in the name of the original person or entity to which the Company issued such Placement Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not call the Warrants for redemption unless there is an effective registration statement under the Act relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants current and available throughout the “30-day redemption period” and a prospectus is available.

                     6.2       Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption . In the event the Company shall elect to redeem all of the Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption. Notice of redemption shall

6



be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered Holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Warrant Register. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Registered Holder received such notice.

                     6.3       Exercise After Notice of Redemption . The Warrants may be exercised in accordance with Section 3 of this Warrant Agreement at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof and prior to the time and date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, the record holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants, the Redemption Price.

                     6.4       Exclusion of Placement Warrants . Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant Agreement to the contrary, the Placement Warrants shall not be subject to redemption.

           7.        Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants .

                     7.1       No Rights as Stockholder . A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

                     7.2       Lost, Stolen Mutilated or Destroyed Warrants . If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which terms shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

                     7.3       Reservation of Common Stock . The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement.

                     7.4       Registration of Common Stock . The Company agrees that prior to the commencement of the Exercise Period, it shall use its best efforts to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, or a new registration statement, for the registration under the Act of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and it shall take such action as is necessary to qualify for sale, in those states in which the Warrants were initially offered by the Company, the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. In either case, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective on or prior to the commencement of the Exercise Period and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and ensure that a prospectus is available for delivery to the Warrant holders until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Agreement. The Warrants shall not be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue Common Stock unless, at the time a holder seeks to exercise warrants, a prospectus related to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is current and the Common Stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the laws of the state of residence of the holder of the Warrants. In addition, the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to register such securities under the blue sky laws of the states of residence of exercising warrant holders, if permitted by the blue sky laws of such jurisdictions, in the event that an exemption is not available. In no event will the Registered Holder of a Warrant be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement in lieu of physical settlement in shares of Common Stock, regardless of whether the Company complies with this Section 7.4. The provisions of this Section 7.4 may not be modified, amended or deleted without the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

7



                     7.5       Limitation on Monetary Damages . In no event shall the Registered Holder of a Warrant be entitled to receive monetary damages for failure to settle any Warrant exercise if the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants has not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to an effective registration statement or if a current prospectus is not available for delivery by the Warrant Agent, provided the Company has fulfilled its obligations under Section 7.4 to use its best efforts to effect such registration and ensure a current prospectus is available.

           8.        Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters .

                     8.1       Payment of Taxes . The Company will, from time to time, promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares.

                     8.2       Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent .

                               8.2.1       Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent .

If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint, in writing, a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of the Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and have its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but, if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and, upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.

                               8.2.2       Notice of Successor Warrant Agent . In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

                               8.2.3       Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent . Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement without any further act on the part of the Company or the Warrant Agent.

                         8.3        Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent .

                               8.3.1       Remuneration .

                         8.4        Liability of Warrant Agent .

                               8.4.1       Reliance on Company Statement . Whenever, in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chairman of the Board of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

                               8.4.2       Indemnity . The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Warrant Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

                               8.4.3       Exclusions . The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Warrant Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make any adjustments required under the provisions of Section 4 hereof or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it, by any act hereunder, be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will when issued be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.

                     8.5       Acceptance of Agency .

  Re: Initial Public Offering

Gentlemen:

      This letter is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement entered into by and between China Holdings Acquisition Corp., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative of the several underwriters, relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 10,000,000 of the Company’s units (11,500,000 if the over-allotment is exercised in full) each comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (the “Units”). The Units sold in the IPO will be listed and traded on the American Stock Exchange pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 and prospectus filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 14 hereof.

      In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

      1. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, and/or the Extended Period, the undersigned will vote all Insider Shares owned by him in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares and will vote all shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired by him in the IPO or aftermarket in favor of any Business Combination negotiated by the officers of the Company and the Extended Period.

      2.   In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing date of the IPO (“IPO Closing Date”) and no letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement has been executed within such 18 month period, or within 24 months from the IPO Closing Date if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement has been executed within such 18 month period, or within 36 months from the IPO Closing Date if so extended upon approval by the stockholders, the undersigned shall take all such action reasonably within its power as is necessary to dissolve the Company and liquidate the Trust Account to holders of IPO Shares as soon as reasonably practicable. The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result of

1



such liquidation with respect to its Insider Shares (“Claim”) and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. [In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company jointly and severally with [James D. Dunning, Jr.], against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by any third party, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount in the Trust Account and only if such third party or entity has not executed an agreement waiving claims against the Trust Account. If the remaining assets outside the Trust Account are insufficient to pay the costs of liquidation, the undersigned agrees to advance to the Company the funds necessary to complete such liquidation and agrees not to seek repayment for such expenses. The foregoing section is not for the benefit of any third party beneficiaries of the Company and does not create any contract right in favor of any person other than the Company.] 1

      [3. In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees (i) not to become an officer, director or principal stockholder of a blank check company with a focus on potential acquisition targets in the People’s Republic of China or Asia and (ii) to present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, any suitable opportunity to acquire an operating business, until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, or the liquidation of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations the undersigned might have as of the date hereof. For the purposes hereof, a suitable opportunity shall mean any company or business having its primary operations in the People’s Republic of China and greater Asia whose fair market value is at least equal to $80 million. The information relating to the undersigned contained in the “Conflicts of Interest” section of the Registration Statement is true and accurate in all respects, and does not omit any material information with respect to the undersigned’s fiduciary or contractual obligations.

      The undersigned hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) each of the Underwriters and the Company could be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the undersigned of his obligations under this paragraph 3, monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (ii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy such party may have, in the event of such breach.] 2

      4. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any Business Combination which involves a company which is currently a portfolio company of, or affiliated with, any of the Insiders. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any Business Combination which involves a company which in the future becomes affiliated with any of the Insiders, unless the Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the Business Combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial perspective.

      5. Prior to a Business Combination, neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any affiliate (“Affiliate”) of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation for services rendered to the Company.

______________________________
1 Applicable only to Paul K. Kelly and James D. Dunning, Jr.

2 Applicable only to officers and directors

2



Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the undersigned shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for his out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business Combination and commencing on the Effective Date, Stuart Management Co., an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“Related Party”), shall be allowed to charge the Company $10,000 per month to compensate it for the Company’s use of the Related Party’s office space and certain technology and administrative and secretarial services.

      6. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units of the Company, the undersigned agrees that he shall return to the Company for cancellation, at no cost, the number of Insider Shares held by the undersigned determined by multiplying [the number of shares held by the insider] by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 1,500,000 minus the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 1,500,000.

      7. Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s fee or any other compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business Combination.

      8. The undersigned agrees that, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, he or she will not propose any amendment to Articles Fourth and Sixth of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or support, endorse or recommend any proposal that stockholders amend any of these provisions.

3

The Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;

           (g)       Verify the correctness of the information set forth in the Registration Statement or to confirm or assure that any acquisition made by the Company or any other action taken by it is as contemplated by the Registration Statement; and

           (h)       Subject to the requirements of Paragraph 3 of this Agreement, pay any taxes on behalf of the Trust Account to any governmental entity or taxing authority.

           5.       Trust Account Waiver . The Trustee has no right, title, interest, or claim of any kind (“Claim”) in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and hereby waives any claim in or to any monies in the Trust Account it may have in the future.

The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating to such security procedures to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason to believe unauthorized persons may have obtained access to such information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee will rely upon account numbers or other identifying numbers of a beneficiary, beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank, rather than names.

           (b)       This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. It may be executed in several counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original, and together shall constitute but one instrument.

For purposes of this paragraph 7(c), the “consent of the Public

6

As to any claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in any way relating to this Agreement, each party waives the right to trial by jury.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

           Pursuant to Paragraph 3 of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between China Holdings Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and [                               ] (the “Trustee”), dated as of                     , 2007 (the “Trust Agreement”), this is to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement with                to consummate an Initial Business Combination (as defined in the Trust Agreement) on or about                     , 2007 . The Company shall notify you at least 48 hours in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination (the “Consummation Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Trust Agreement.

           Pursuant to Paragraph 2(e) of the Trust Agreement, we are providing you with an affidavit or a certificate of                                    verifying the vote of the Company’s stockholders duly approving the Initial Business Combination and the Company’s perpetual existence in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The affidavit or certificate includes the identities of the Public Stockholders who voted against the Initial Business Combination and properly exercised their conversion rights in connection therewith.

           In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby instruct you to commence liquidation of the Trust Account so that on the Consummation Date, all funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company shall direct.

           On the Consummation Date: (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Initial Business Combination has been consummated, (ii) the Company shall deliver to you written instructions with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account other than the Deferred Discount (the “Instruction Letter”) and (iii) the Representative shall deliver to you written instructions for delivery of the Deferred Discount. You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of written notice from counsel and the Instruction Letter, (a) to Public Stockholders who exercised their conversion rights in connection with the Initial Business Combination, in an amount equal to their pro rata share of the amounts in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the Consummation Date (including the Deferred Discount and any income actually received on the Trust Account balance and held in the Trust Account, but less an amount equal to

A-1


 



estimated taxes that are or will be due on such income at an assumed rate of 40%); (b) to the Representative in an amount equal to the Deferred Discount as so directed by them, and (c) the remainder in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will notify the Company of the same, and the Company shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company or be distributed immediately and the penalty incurred. Upon the distribution of all the funds in the Trust Account pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trust Agreement shall be terminated.

           In the event that the Initial Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation Date and we have not notified you on or before the Consummation Date of a new date for consummation of the Initial Business Combination that is to take place within 3 (three) business days of the Consummation Date, then the funds held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in Paragraph 1(c) of the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately following the Consummation Date.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

                Section 2.01. Registrations on Form S-3 .

                (a)       Filing. The holders of Registrable Securities may at any time and from time to time on or after the applicable Release Date, request in writing that the Company register the resale of any or all of such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or a successor or other appropriate, similar short-form registration which may be available at such time (“ Form S-3 ”); provided, however , that (i) the Company shall not be obligated to effect such request through an Underwritten Offering and (ii) the Company shall not be obligated to effect such a request if the Company has within the preceding twelve (12) months effected a registration on Form S-3. Upon receipt of such written request, the Company will promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, effect the registration of all or such portion of such holder’s or holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other holder or holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however , that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.01: (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) if the holders of the Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities at an aggregate offering price to the public of less than $[500,000]. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.02.

                (b)       Suspension of Registration. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of Form S-3 at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Form S-3 of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, the Form S-3 for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the prospectus relating to the registration on such Form S-3 in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities and agree not to disclose to any other Person the fact that the Company has exercised such rights or any related facts. The Company shall immediately notify the holders upon the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.01(b).

4



                Section 2.02. Demand Registrations .

                (a)       Demand by Holders. (i) At any time and from time on or after the applicable Release Date, the holders of not less than a majority of any class of the Registrable Securities may make a written request to the Company for registration of all or part of each such class of Registrable Securities held by those holders, provided that the estimated market value of the Registrable Securities of all classes to be so registered thereunder is at least $[500,000] in the aggregate. Any such requested registration shall be referred to as a “ Demand Registration . ” Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the class(es) and aggregate amount(s) of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended methods of distribution thereof.

          

                (ii)       Within five (5) business days following receipt of any request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall deliver written notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities of the class or classes to be registered. Thereafter, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration any additional Registrable Securities of each such class which the holder or holders thereof have requested in writing be included in such Demand Registration, provided that all such requests have been received by the Company within ten (10) business days of the Company’s having sent the applicable notice to such holder or holders (each such holder, including the Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration, a “ Demanding Holder ”). All such requests shall specify the class and aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of distribution. The Company may include in such registration additional securities of the class or classes of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder, including securities to be sold for the Company’s own account or for the account of Persons who are not holders of Registrable Securities.

                (iii)       As promptly as practicable, and, in any event, within sixty (60) days following receipt of a request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall file a Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration and thereafter the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act.

                (b)       Limitation on Demand Registrations. In no event shall the Company be required to effect more than two (2) Demand Registrations, only one of which may be effected prior to the last of the Release Dates. In addition, the Company shall not be required to file a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration at any time during the 12-month period following the effective date of another Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.02.

                (c)       Demand Withdrawal. A holder may withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time. If all holders withdraw, or holders withdraw Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration in such amounts that the Registrable Securities of all classes that remain covered by the relevant Registration Statement have an estimated market value of less than $[500,000], the Company shall cease all efforts to secure registration and such registration shall be deemed a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2.02(b) unless the withdrawal is based on the reasonable determination of the Demanding Holders that there has been, since the date of such request, a material adverse change in the business or prospects of the Company or in general market conditions and the Demanding

5



Holders who requested such registration shall have paid or reimbursed the Company for all of the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the withdrawn registration.

                (d)       Effective Registration. The Company shall be deemed to have effected a Demand Registration if the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and remains effective for not less than 180 days (or such shorter period as will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or withdrawn) and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however , that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) holders of a majority of the relevant class or classes of Registrable Securities thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further , that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.

                (e)       Suspension of Registration. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of a Demand Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest possible period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the prospectus relating to the Demand Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.02(e) .

                (f)       Underwritten Offering. If the holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities of any class that is included in any offering pursuant to a Demand Registration so elect, the offering of all of the Registrable Securities of that class shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering and the right of any holder to include Registrable Securities of that class in the Demand Registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in the Underwritten Offering. The holders of a majority of the class of Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering shall, in consultation with the Company, have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters for the offering, subject to the right of the Company should it so choose to select one co-managing underwriter reasonably acceptable to such holders. All holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such an underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting.

                (g)       Reduction of Offering. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering of a class of Registrable Securities included in a Demand

6



Registration, inform the holders of such Registrable Securities and the Company in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities of such class requested to be included in such Demand Registration, including securities of the Company for its own account or for the account of other Persons who are not holders of Registrable Securities that the Company desires to sell and any securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written piggy-back registration rights (as described in Section 2.03 below), exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the class of securities offered or the market for the class of securities offered (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, the “ Maximum Number of Securities ”), then the Company shall include in such registration:

          

                (i)       first, Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders, in an amount up to but not exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities (allocated pro rata among the holders who have requested participation in the Demand Registration, based, for each such holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (x) the number of Registrable Securities of such class which such holder has requested to include in such Demand Registration by (y) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities of such class which all such holders have requested to include);

                (ii)       second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

                (iii)       third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

                (iv)       fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities have not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), securities that other security holders of the Company desire to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

                To the extent that any Registrable Securities requested to be registered are excluded pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the holders shall have the right to one additional Demand Registration under this Section 2.02.

                (h)       Registration Statement Form. Registrations under this Section 2.02 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC (i) as shall be selected by the Company and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of each class of Registrable Securities requesting participation in the Demand Registration and (ii) as shall permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the applicable holders’ requests for such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, pursuant to a Demand Registration, (x) the Company proposes to effect

7



registration by filing a Registration Statement on Form S-3, (y) such registration is in connection with an Underwritten Offering and (z) the managing underwriter or underwriters shall advise the Company in writing that, in its or their opinion, the use of another form of registration statement (or the inclusion, rather than the incorporation by reference, of information in the prospectus related to a Registration Statement on Form S-3) is of material importance to the success of such proposed offering, then such registration shall be effected on such other form (or such information shall be so included in such prospectus).

                Section 2.03. Incidental Registrations (“Piggy-Back” Registrations).

                (a)       Participation. (i) If at any time on or after the first Release Date, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement with respect to any offering of its securities for its own account or for the account of any holders of its securities (or by the Company and by security holders of the Company, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof), other than (A) a registration of securities relating solely to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement, (B) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms, (C) an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (D) an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities, (E) a dividend reinvestment plan, or (F) solely in connection with a merger, consolidation or non-capital raising bona fide business transaction, then, as soon as practicable (but in no event less than ten (10) business days prior to the proposed date of filing such Registration Statement), the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all holders of Registrable Securities, which notice shall describe the amount and class of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and such notice shall offer the holders of such Registrable Securities the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request in writing (an “ Incidental Registration ”). Subject to Section 2.03(b), the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities requested to be included therein within five (5) business days after the receipt by such holder of any such notice, on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company. If at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Securities and, (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

                           (ii)       If the offering pursuant to an Incidental Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering, then each holder making a request for its Registrable Securities to be included therein must, and the Company shall use its best efforts to make such arrangements with the underwriters so that each such holder may, participate in such Underwritten Offering on the same terms and conditions as the Company and other Persons selling securities in such Underwritten Offering. If the offering pursuant to such registration is to be on any other basis, then each holder making a request for an

8



          

Incidental Registration pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) must participate in such offering on such basis.

                (iii)       Each holder of Registrable Securities shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of such holder’s Registrable Securities from an Incidental Registration at any time;

                (b)       Reduction of Incidental Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of a class of securities included in an Incidental Registration (or in the case of an Incidental Registration not being underwritten, the Company) informs the holders of Registrable Securities of any class sought to be included in such registration in writing that, in its or their opinion, the total amount or kind of securities which such holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the class or classes of the securities offered or the market for the class or classes of securities offered or the Company’s common stock, then the securities of each class to be included in such registration shall be allocated as follows:

          

                (i)       if the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (x) first, the securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities and (y) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (x), securities, if any, including the Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual incidental registration rights of security holders (including this Agreement) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities ( pro rata in accordance with the number of shares or other securities which each such Person has actually requested to be included in such registration);

                (ii)       if the registration is a demand registration undertaken by Persons with demand rights pursuant to a written contractual arrangement other than this Agreement, (w) first, securities for the account of the demanding Persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (x) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (w), securities that the Company desires to sell and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (y) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (w) and (x), securities (including the Registrable Securities) as to which registration has been requested pursuant to a written contractual incidental registration rights of security holders (including this Agreement) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities ( pro rata in accordance with the number of shares or other securities which each such Person has actually requested to be included in such registration), and (z) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities have not been reached under the foregoing clauses (w), (x) and (y), securities that other security holders desire to sell without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

                (b)       The Company may require each selling holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such Securities and such other information relating to such holder and its ownership of the applicable Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request.

                (b)       Price and Underwriting Discounts. In the case of an Underwritten Offering requested by holders pursuant to Sections 2.01 or 2.02, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the related underwriting agreement for each class of Registrable Securities shall be determined by the holders of a majority of such class of Registrable Securities.

                Section 2.09. Indemnification .

                (a)       Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such indemnified party is a party thereto) and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses), joint or several (each, a “ Loss ” and collectively “ Losses ”), arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents

15



incorporated by reference therein) or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however , that the Company shall not be liable to any indemnified party in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use in the preparation thereof; and provided, further , that the Company will not be liable to any indemnified party in any case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any final, preliminary or summary prospectus if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to such prospectus which has been made available to the holders and the relevant holder of Registrable Securities fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented, if such delivery is required under applicable law or the applicable rules of any securities exchange, prior to or concurrently with the sales of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

                (b)       Indemnification by the Holders. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission had been contained in any information furnished in writing by such selling holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement and was not corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability such holder may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any indemnified party. In no event shall the liability of any selling holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder under the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

                (c)       Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification ( provided, however , that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however , that any

16



Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after having received notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims or (D) based on advice of counsel, the indemnified party has reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party such that the indemnifying party’s assumption of defense of the indemnified party would be likely to adversely affect the defense of the indemnified party (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however , that an indemnifying party shall not be required to consent to any settlement involving the imposition of equitable remedies or involving the imposition of any material obligations on such indemnifying party other than financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall have the right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party; provided, however , that the indemnifying party shall be required to obtain such consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if the settlement includes any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the indemnified party or any restriction on the indemnified party or its officers or directors. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based on advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties or (z) based on advice of counsel, an indemnified party has reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

                (d)       Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.09 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.09, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue

17



statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.09(d) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses of the indemnified parties relate exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. If indemnification is available under this Section 2.09, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 2.09(a) and 2.09(b) hereof without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying parties or indemnified party.

                Section 2.10. Rule 144 . The Company covenants that it shall use its best efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

           WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of this ___________day of _________, 2007 among China Holdings Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the undersigned (the “Purchasers”).

           WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-145085) (the “Registration Statement”), in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) of up to 11,500,000 units (which includes 1,500,000 units which may be issued to the underwriters if the over-allotment is exercised in full) (the “Units”), each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) one warrant (the “Warrants”), each warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock; and

           WHEREAS, immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO, the Company desires to sell in a private placement to the Purchasers (the “Placement”) an aggregate of 2,750,000 warrants (the “Placement Warrants”) substantially identical to the Warrants being issued in the IPO pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and as set forth in the Registration Statement, except that the Placement Warrants to be issued in the Placement shall not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and will be non-redeemable so long as the Purchasers (or their transferees) hold such Warrants; and

           WHEREAS, each Purchaser desires to acquire the number of Placement Warrants set forth opposite his name on Schedule A hereto; and

           WHEREAS, except as provided herein, the Placement Warrants shall be governed by the Warrant Agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; and

           WHEREAS, the Purchasers are entitled to registration rights with respect to the Placement Warrants and the Common Stock underlying the Placement Warrants (the “Underlying Shares”) on the terms set forth in this Agreement;

           NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1.         Authorization of the Placement Warrants . The Company has duly authorized the issuance and sale of the Placement Warrants to the Purchasers.

2.         Purchase of Placement Warrants . The Purchasers hereby agree to purchase an aggregate of 2,750,000 Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per Placement Warrant, or an aggregate of $2,750,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Such purchases shall be paid for with funds derived directly from such Purchasers in the names and amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto. On the Closing Date, as defined below, upon payment by the Purchasers of the Purchase Price by wire of immediately available funds to the Company,



the Company shall deliver a certificate evidencing the Placement Warrants duly registered in the Purchaser’s name to the Purchasers.

3.         Closing . The closing of the purchase and sale of the Placement Warrants (the “Closing”) will take place at such time and place as the parties may agree (the “Closing Date”), but in no event later than the closing date (the “IPO Closing Date”) of the IPO. On or prior to the IPO Closing Date, the Purchasers shall pay the Purchase Price by wire transfer of funds to the trust account at JP Morgan Chase, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). The certificates for the Placement Warrants shall be delivered to the Purchasers promptly after the payment of the Purchase Price.
