Each Unit (“Unit”) consists of one (1) share of common stock, $.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Chart Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and one warrant (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment). Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of: (i) thirty (30) days after the Corporation’s initial completion of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Corporation and one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”), or (ii) twelve (12) months from the closing of the Corporation’s initial public offering, and will expire unless exercised before 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Corporation completes its initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation (the “Expiration Date”).   The Warrant included in this Unit will not become exercisable and will expire worthless in the event the Corporation fails to consummate a Business Combination within 21 months of the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering.







The shares of Common Stock and Warrants comprising the Units represented by this certificate are not transferable separately prior to [              ], 2012, unless Cowen and Company, LLC elects to allow separate trading earlier, subject to the Corporation’s filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the Corporation’s receipt of the gross proceeds of the offering and issuing a press release announcing when separate trading will begin. The terms of the Warrants are governed by a Warrant Agreement, dated as of [             ], 2012, between the Corporation 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 Corporation.
