Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one ordinary share of the Company, no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”), at an exercise price of $12.00 per Ordinary Share during the period commencing on the later of: (i) one (1) year from the date of the closing of the Company’s IPO (as defined below) and (ii) thirty (30) days following the consummation of an acquisition, share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation or contractual control arrangement with, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of, or any other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses or assets (a “Business Combination”) and expiring on the fifth anniversary of the consummation of such Business Combination;
WHEREAS, Sponsor wishes to purchase the Warrants and the Company wishes to accept such subscription.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Sponsor hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Subscribe
1.1. Purchase and Issuance of the Warrants. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Sponsor hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Sponsor, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.2), the Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $3,125,000 (the “Purchase Price”).
1.2. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Offering, shall take place at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, 150 East 42nd Street, New York, New York, 10017 on or prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) of 7,000,000 units consisting of Ordinary Shares and warrants (the “Closing Date”).
1.3. Delivery of the Purchase Price. At least one business day prior to the Closing Date the Sponsor agrees to deliver the Purchase Price by certified bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds denominated in United States Dollars either: (i) to Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, which is hereby irrevocably authorized to deposit such funds at least one business day prior to the Closing to the trust account which will be established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders, managed pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement to be entered into by and between the Company and a trustee and into which substantially all of the proceeds of the IPO will be deposited (the “Trust Account”) or (ii) directly into the Trust Account. If the IPO is not consummated, the Purchase Price shall be returned to the Sponsor as soon as practicable by certified bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds denominated in United States Dollars.
1.4. Delivery of Warrant Certificate. Upon delivery of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1.3, the Sponsor shall become irrevocably entitled to receive a warrant certificate representing the Warrants; provided, however, if the Company notifies the Sponsor that the IPO will not be consummated and the Purchase Price will be returned in accordance with the last sentence of Section 1.3, the Company shall have no obligation to provide any such certificate representing the Warrants to the Sponsor.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor
Sponsor represents and warrants to the Company that:
2.1. No Government Recommendation or Approval. Sponsor understands that no United States federal or state agency or similar agency of any other country has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Company, the Offering or the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares” and, collectively with the Warrants, the “Securities”).
2.2. Organization and Authority. The Sponsor is a Cayman Islands exempted company, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon execution and delivery by Sponsor, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of Sponsor, enforceable against Sponsor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).
2.3. Private Offering. Sponsor represents that it is (a) an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or (b) not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the Securities Act. Subscriber acknowledges that the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption to “Accredited Investors” within the meaning of Section 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or similar exemptions under state law or to a non-U.S. Person under Regulation S.
2.4. Authority. This Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by Sponsor and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the general principles of equity and to bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.
2.5. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Sponsor of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the Sponsor’s organizational documents, (ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Sponsor is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which Sponsor is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which Sponsor is subject.
2.6. No Legal Advice from Company. Sponsor acknowledges it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto with Sponsor’s own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of the Company made in this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between the parties hereto, Sponsor is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.
2
2.7. Access to Information; Independent Investigation. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Sponsor has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning an investment in the Company, as well as the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company, and the opportunity to obtain additional information to verify the accuracy of all information so obtained. In determining whether to make this investment, Sponsor has relied solely on Sponsor’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon Sponsor’s own due diligence investigation and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph. Sponsor understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations which were not furnished pursuant to this Section 2 and Sponsor has not relied on any other representations or information in making its investment decision, whether written or oral, relating to the Company, its operations and/or its prospects.
2.8. Reliance on Representations and Warranties. Sponsor understands the Warrants are being offered and sold to it in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, and analogous provisions in the laws and regulations of various states, and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Sponsor set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such provisions.
2.9. No Advertisements. Sponsor is not subscribing for the Warrants as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting.
2.10. Legend. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees the certificates evidencing the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend (the “Legend”), in form and substance as set forth in Section 4 hereof, prohibiting the offer, sale, pledge or transfer of the securities, except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement covering these securities under the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to any other exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such laws which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, is available.
2.11. Experience, Financial Capability and Suitability. Sponsor is (i) sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Securities and (ii) able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Sponsor has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Sponsor must bear the economic risk of this investment until the Securities are sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or (ii) an exemption from registration is available with respect to such sale. Sponsor is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Securities and to afford a complete loss of Sponsor’s investment in the Securities.
2.12. Investment Purposes. The Sponsor is purchasing the Securities solely for investment purposes, for the Sponsor’s own account and not for the account or benefit of any other person, and not with a view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof and the Sponsor has no present arrangement to sell the interest in the Securities to or through any person or entity.
2.13. Restrictions on Transfer. Sponsor acknowledges and understands the Warrants are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, and, if in the future Sponsor decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities, such Securities may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (B) pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), if available, or (C) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction. Sponsor agrees that if any transfer of its Securities or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Sponsor may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company. Absent registration or another available exemption from registration, Sponsor agrees it will not resell the Securities. Sponsor further acknowledges that because the Company is a shell company Rule 144 may not be available to Sponsor for the resale of the Securities until the one year anniversary following consummation of the initial Business Combination of the Company, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.

HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.
IN ADDITION, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE DATE UPON WHICH BLUE WOLF MONGOLIAN HOLDINGS CORP. (THE “COMPANY”) COMPLETES ITS INITIAL BUSINESS COMBINATION (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3 OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN) EXCEPT TO A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 2 OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT) WHO AGREES IN WRITING WITH THE COMPANY TO BE SUBJECT TO SUCH TRANSFER PROVISIONS.
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE ORDINARY SHARES OF THE COMPANY ISSUED UPON EXERCISE OF SUCH SECURITIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REGISTRATION RIGHTS UNDER A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT TO BE EXECUTED BY THE COMPANY.
4.2. Sponsor’s Compliance. Nothing in this Section 4 shall affect in any way the Sponsor’s obligations and agreements to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities.
4.3. Company’s Refusal to Register Transfer of the Securities. The Company shall refuse to register any transfer of the Securities, if in the sole judgment of the Company such purported transfer would not be made (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or (ii) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
5
4.4. Registration Rights. Subscriber will be entitled to certain registration rights which will be governed by a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) to be entered into with the Company on or prior to the closing of the IPO.
5. Lockup
The Warrants will be subject to a lockup described in that certain Insider Letter to be entered into prior to the date of the preliminary prospectus in connection with the IPO between Sponsor and the Company pursuant to which the Warrants shall not be transferable, saleable or assignable until thirty (30) days following the consummation of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.
6. Securities Laws Restrictions
Sponsor agrees not to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Securities unless, prior thereto (a) a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to the Securities proposed to be transferred shall then be effective or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration is not required because such transaction complies with the Securities Act and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and with all applicable state securities laws.
7. Waiver of Liquidation Distributions
In connection with the Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement, Sponsor hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distributions from the Trust Account which will be established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and into which substantially all of the proceeds of the IPO will be deposited (the “Trust Account”). In no event will a Sponsor have the right to exercise any Warrants prior to the later of: (i) one year from the date of the closing of the IPO and (ii) thirty (30) days after the consummation of a Business Combination.
8. Forfeiture of Warrants

8.2. Termination of Rights. If the Warrants are forfeited in accordance with this Section 8, then after such time the Sponsor (or its successor in interest), shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Warrants, and the Company and/or its agents shall take such action as is appropriate to cancel such Warrants on the books and records of the Company.
9. Rescission Right Waiver and Indemnification
9.1. Rescission Waiver. Sponsor understands and acknowledges an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act requires there be no general solicitation of purchasers of the Warrants. In this regard, if the IPO were deemed to be a general solicitation with respect to the Warrants, the offer and sale of such Warrants may not be exempt from registration and, if not, the Sponsor may have a right to rescind its purchase of the Warrants. In order to facilitate the completion of the Offering and in order to protect the Company, its shareholders and the trust account from claims that may adversely affect the Company or the interests of its shareholders, Sponsor hereby agrees to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claims, right to sue or rights in law or arbitration, as the case may be, to seek rescission of its purchase of the Warrants. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees this waiver is being made in order to induce the Company to sell the Warrants to the Sponsor. Sponsor agrees the foregoing waiver of rescission rights shall apply to any and all known or unknown actions, causes of action, suits, claims or proceedings (collectively, “Claims”) and related losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, whether compensatory, consequential or exemplary, and expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness fees and disbursements and all other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any Claims, whether pending or threatened, in connection with any present or future actual or asserted right to rescind the purchase of the Warrants hereunder or relating to the purchase of the Warrants and the transactions contemplated hereby.
6
9.2. No Recourse Against Trust Account. Sponsor agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever in connection with its purchase of the Warrants or any Claim that may arise now or in the future.
9.3. Third Party Beneficiaries. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees the shareholders of the Company are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions of this Agreement.
9.4. Section 9 Waiver. Sponsor agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 9 is ineffective as a matter of law, Sponsor has offered such waiver for the benefit of the Company as an equitable right that shall survive any statutory disqualification or bar that applies to a legal right. Sponsor acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Company hereunder in this regard.
10. Terms of the Warrant
The Warrants shall be substantially identical to the warrants included in the units offered in the IPO as set forth in the Warrant Agreement to be entered into with a mutually agreeable warrant agent on or prior to the closing of the IPO, except the Warrants: (i) will be subject to the transfer restrictions described herein, (ii) are being purchased pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable only after certain conditions are met or the resale of the Warrants is registered under the Securities Act, (iii) will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees and (iv) are exercisable for cash or on a “cashless” basis if held by the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees.

16. Headings
The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

17. Construction
The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
