              THIS
                CERTIFIES THAT 

            	 	 
	
              is
                the owner of

            	 	 Units.


    

     

    Each
      Unit
      (“Unit”) consists of one (1) ordinary share, par value $.001 per share
      (“Ordinary Share”), of HAMBRECHT ASIA ACQUISITION CORP., a Cayman Islands
      corporation (the “Company”), and one warrant (the “Warrant”). Each Warrant
      entitles the holder to purchase one (1) Ordinary Share for $6.00 per share
      (subject to adjustment). Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later
      of
      (i) the Company’s completion of an initial business combination with one or more
      target business or (ii) one (1) year from the date of the prospectus covering
      the Warrants and will expire unless exercised before 5:00 p.m., New York City
      Time, on ____________, 2012, or earlier upon redemption (the “Expiration Date”).
The
      Ordinary Shares
      and
Warrants
      comprising the Units represented by this certificate may trade separately on
      the
      45th
      day
      after
      the date of the prospectus unless the representative of the underwriters
      determines that an earlier date is acceptable; provided, however, in no event
      will the representative allow separate trading of the ordinary share and
      warrants until the Company files an audited balance sheet with
      the
      Securities and Exchange Commission reflecting
      the Company’s receipt of the gross proceeds of the offering
      and
      issues a press release when such separate trading will begin.
      The
      terms of the Warrants are governed
      by a
      Warrant Agreement, dated as of _______, 2007, between the Company and
      Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent, and are
      subject to the terms and provisions contained therein, all of which terms and
      provisions the holder of this certificate consents to by acceptance hereof.
      Copies of the Warrant Agreement are on file at the office of the Warrant Agent
      at 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004, and are available to any Warrant
      holder on written request and without cost. This certificate is not valid unless
      countersigned by the Transfer Agent and Registrar of the Company.
