      respect thereof) to vote in such manner as each such attorney and proxy or
      his substitute shall in his sole discretion deem proper, and otherwise act
      (including without limitation pursuant to written consent) with respect to
      all the Shares to be sold hereunder which the Seller is entitled to vote
      at any meeting of stockholders (whether annual or special and whether or
      not an adjourned meeting) of the Company held prior to April 15,
      2009.  This proxy is coupled with an interest in the Company and
      in the Shares and is irrevocable.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              6.2.

            	
              Until
      the closing of the Acquisition, each Seller agrees not to take any action
      (including any purchase or sale of any security or the establishment of
      any arbitrage or similar derivative position relating to any security)
      that is reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the adoption of
      the Acquisition by the shareholders of the
  Company.

              Each
      Seller may sell any or all the Shares prior to the expiration of the Put
      Option and Call Option only if the Market Price of the Company’s ordinary
      shares on the applicable date exceeds the Option Price, in which case the
      number of Shares subject to both the Put Option and Call Option shall be
      reduced by the number of Shares so sold on a one-for-one
      basis.

            

    

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    
      	
              7.

            	
              Escrow
      Account.  Honest Best Int’l Ltd, the sole shareholder of
      AutoChina (the “Shareholder”), hereby agrees to place 7,745,625 ordinary
      shares of the Company to be received at the closing of the Acquisition
      (the “ Escrowed Shares”), and Spring Creek hereby agrees to place $2.40
      per Share (an aggregate of $256,776.00) (the “Escrowed Funds”) in the
      Escrow Account maintained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of an
      escrow agreement to be executed by the parties and the Escrow
      Agent.  The escrow agreement provides that a pro rata (with
      respect to all holders of put options) portion of the Escrowed Shares and
      $2.40 of the Escrowed Funds will be released to the Seller by the Escrow
      Agent for each Share subject to the Put Option upon notice to the Escrow
      Agent that the Company has not fulfilled its obligations under this
      Agreement to buy such Shares upon the appropriate exercise by the Seller
      of its rights under this Agreement.  In the event a dividend is
      declared on the Escrowed Shares, such dividend shall be deposited with the
      Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to the terms of the escrow
      agreement.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, in
      the event that the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement
      are not satisfied, the full amount of the Sellers’ pro rata share of the
      Escrowed Shares and the Escrowed Funds will be distributed to the Sellers,
      regardless of the value of such pro rata
share.

            

    

     

    
      	
              8.

            	
              Registration of
      Escrowed Shares.  The Company shall use its commercially
      reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement covering the resale
      of the Escrowed Shares (the “Registrable Securities”) to become effective
      by September 30, 2009, and to remain effective until the earlier of the
      date when (i) each Seller has sold all of the Seller’s Registrable
      Securities, (ii) all the Registrable Securities covered by the
      registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto or otherwise or
      (ii) the Registrable Securities may be publicly sold without volume
      restrictions under Rule 144 (or any similar provisions then in force) of
      the Securities Act.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that it
      will use commercially reasonable efforts to file any supplements or
      amendments to the registration statement required to permit each Seller to
      sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement
      after any of the Escrowed Shares have been released to the
      Sellers.  The release of Escrowed Shares and Escrowed Funds
      shall not relieve Spring Creek of its obligations under this Agreement,
      including without limitation its obligation to deliver any remaining
      portion of the Option Price not covered by the release of Escrowed Shares
      and Escrowed Funds.

            

    

     

    
      	
              9.

      The Company and AutoChina hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
      each Seller and each of their respective partners, principals, members,
      officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and affiliated or
      managed funds (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all
      losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, of
      any kind or nature whatsoever, and any and all actions, inquiries,
      proceedings and investigations in respect thereof, whether pending or
      threatened, to which any such party may become subject, arising in any
      manner out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
      contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law,
      regardless of whether any of such parties is a party hereto, and
      immediately upon request reimburse such party for such party’s legal and
      other expenses as they are incurred in connection with investigating,
      preparing, defending, paying, settling or compromising any such action,
      inquiry, proceeding or investigation (including, without limitation, usual
      and customary per diem compensation for any such party’s involvement in
      discovery proceedings or testimony); provided that
      the Company and AutoChina shall not be liable for any such loss,
      liability, claim, damage or expense resulting from actions taken by the
      Indemnified Parties in bad faith or as a result of their respective gross
      negligence or willful misconduct; and provided further that
      such foregoing indemnity pursuant to this Section 9 shall not be available
      for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses or with respect
      to any lawsuits, inquiries, proceedings and investigations in respect
      thereof to the extent such arise out of any actions taken after the
      Closing.

    THIS PUT
AND CALL AGREEMENT dated as of April 7, 2009 (this “Agreement”) and entered into
by and between Spring Creek Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands company (“Spring
Creek” or the “Company”), AutoChina Group, Inc. (“AutoChina”), and the signatory

Macau and Taiwan;

     

    WHEREAS,
Spring Creek has agreed to acquire (the “Acquisition”) AutoChina pursuant to
certain agreements.

     

    WHEREAS,
the approval of the Acquisition is contingent upon, among other things, the
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares of
Spring Creek voting at the meeting to approve the Acquisition.

     

    WHEREAS,
pursuant to certain provisions in Spring Creek’s amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association, a holder of ordinary shares of Spring Creek issued
in the IPO may, if such holder votes against the Acquisition, demand that Spring
Creek convert such ordinary shares into cash (“Conversion Rights”).

     

    WHEREAS,
the Acquisition is subject to the exercise of Conversion Rights by holders of
less than 40% of the Spring Creek ordinary shares issued in the
IPO.

     

    WHEREAS,
Seller is the holder of 40,000 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Shares”) and
is interested in acquiring the right to require the Company to purchase the
Shares, and the Company is interested in acquiring the right to require the
Seller to sell the Shares, in each case during the time periods and upon the
terms and conditions described herein.

     

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

              Put
      Option.  The Company hereby grants Seller the option to
      require the Company to buy from Seller any or all of the Shares owned by
      Seller at the Option Price during the two week period commencing on the

      hereto.

            

    

     

    
      	
              3.

            	
              Call
      Option.  Seller hereby grants the Company, or its
      assigns, the option to require the Seller to sell to the Company, or its
      assignees, any or all of the Shares owned by Seller at the Option Price
      from the date of this Agreement until the last date on which the Put
      Option may be exercised in accordance with Section 2 (the “Call Option”);
      provided,
      however,
      that the Company may not exercise the Call Option if the Market Price of
      the Company’s ordinary shares on the applicable date exceeds the Option
      Price.  The Company may assign, in whole or in part, the Call
      Option at any time prior to its expiration, and the assignment or exercise
      of the Call Option with respect to any Shares shall not limit the
      Company’s rights under the Call Option with respect to any remaining
      Shares.  In order to exercise the Call Option, the Company, or
      its assigns, shall deliver to Seller a call option notice in the form of
      Schedule
      II hereto.

            

    

     

    
      	
              4.

            	
              Completion.  If
      either the Put Option or Call Option is exercised, a closing shall be held
      on the Closing Date specified in the relevant notice (provided that with
      respect to the Put Option the Closing Date shall be no earlier than a date
      that is two weeks after the date that the Company receives such notice) at
      the offices of the Company’s counsel, Loeb & Loeb LLP, 345 Park
      Avenue, New York, NY 10154 at which Seller will deliver certificates
      representing such Shares as shall have been specified in the relevant
      notice (or shall have delivered such Shares through the book-entry
      facilities of DTC at the election of the Seller) and the Company, or its
      assigns, will deliver immediately available funds equal to the Option
      Price per Share to an account of Seller furnished to the Company and its
      assigns, as applicable, at least five business days prior to such
      closing.  In the event the Put Option is exercised with respect
      to any of the Shares, the Company, or its assigns, may exercise the Call
      Option and in lieu of Closing on the Put Option may close on the Call
      Option with respect to such Shares; provided, however, that
      the Closing Date of such exercise of the Call Option shall be no later
      than the Closing Date specified in the relevant put option
      notice.  The exercise, in whole or in part, of the Call Option
      shall reduce the number of Shares subject to the Put Option on a
      one-for-one basis, and (subject to the immediately preceding sentence) the
      exercise, in whole or in part, of the Put Option shall reduce the number
      of Shares subject to the Call Option on a one-for-one
    basis.

              6.1.

            	
              In
      further consideration of entering into this Agreement, the Seller hereby
      agrees the Seller will not exercise the Seller’s Conversion
      Rights.  The Seller hereby irrevocably appoints James Sha and
      Diana Liu and each of them, each with full power of substitution, to the
      full extent of such stockholder’s rights with respect to the Shares (and
      any and all other Shares or securities or rights issued or issuable in
      respect thereof) to vote in such manner as each such attorney and proxy or
      his substitute shall in his sole discretion deem proper, and otherwise act
      (including without limitation pursuant to written consent) with respect to
      all the Shares to be sold hereunder which the Seller is entitled to vote
      at any meeting of stockholders (whether annual or special and whether or
      not an adjourned meeting) of the Company held prior to April 15,
      2009.  This proxy is coupled with an interest in the Company and
      in the Shares and is irrevocable.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              6.2.

            	
              Until
      the closing of the Acquisition, Seller agrees not to take any action
      (including any purchase or sale of any security or the establishment of
      any arbitrage or similar derivative position relating to any security)
      that is reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the adoption of
      the Acquisition by the shareholders of the
  Company.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              6.3.

            	
              Seller
      may sell any or all the Shares prior to the expiration of the Put Option
      and Call Option only if the Market Price of the Company’s ordinary shares
      on the applicable date exceeds the Option Price, in which case the number
      of Shares subject to both the Put Option and Call Option shall be reduced
      by the number of Shares so sold on a one-for-one
  basis.

              Escrow
      Account.  Honest Best Int’l Ltd, the sole shareholder of
      AutoChina (the “Shareholder”), hereby agrees to place 7,745,625 ordinary
      shares of the Company to be received at the closing of the Acquisition
      (the “ Escrowed Shares”), and Spring Creek hereby agrees to place $2.40
      per Shares (and aggregate of $96,000) (the “Escrowed Funds”) in the Escrow
      Account maintained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of an escrow
      agreement to be executed by the parties and the Escrow
      Agent.  The escrow agreement provides that a pro rata (with
      respect to all holders of put options) portion of the Escrowed Shares and
      $2.40 of the Escrowed Funds will be released to the Seller by the Escrow
      Agent for each Share subject to the Put Option upon notice to the Escrow
      Agent that the Company has not fulfilled its obligations under this
      Agreement to buy such Shares upon the appropriate exercise by the Seller
      of its rights under this Agreement.  In the event a dividend is
      declared on the Escrowed Shares, such dividend shall be deposited with the
      Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to the terms of the escrow
      agreement.

            

    

     

    
      	
              8.

            	
              Registration of
      Escrowed Shares.  The Company shall use its commercially
      reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement covering the resale
      of the Escrowed Shares (the “Registrable Securities”) to become effective
      by September 30, 2009, and to remain effective until the earlier of the
      date when (i) the Seller has sold all of the Seller’s Registrable
      Securities, (ii) all the Registrable Securities covered by the
      registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto or otherwise or
      (ii) the Registrable Securities may be publicly sold without volume
      restrictions under Rule 144 (or any similar provisions then in force) of
      the Securities Act.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that it
      will use commercially reasonable efforts to file any supplements or
      amendments to the registration statement required to permit the Seller to
      sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement
      after any of the Escrowed Shares have been released to the
      Seller.  The release of Escrowed Shares and Escrowed Funds shall
      not relieve Spring Creek of its obligations under this Agreement,
      including without limitation its obligation to deliver any remaining
      portion of the Option Price not covered by the release of Escrowed Shares
      and Escrowed Funds.

      Seller and each of its partners, principals, members, officers, directors,
      employees, agents, representatives and affiliated or managed funds (the
      “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims,
      damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature
      whatsoever, and any and all actions, inquiries, proceedings and
      investigations in respect thereof, whether pending or threatened, to which
      any such party may become subject, arising in any manner out of or in
      connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein to
      the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, regardless of whether
      any of such parties is a party hereto, and immediately upon request
      reimburse such party for such party’s legal and other expenses as they are
      incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, defending, paying,
      settling or compromising any such action, inquiry, proceeding or
      investigation (including, without limitation, usual and customary per diem
      compensation for any such party’s involvement in discovery proceedings or
      testimony); provided that
      the Company and AutoChina shall not be liable for any such loss,
      liability, claim, damage or expense resulting from actions taken by the
      Indemnified Parties in bad faith or as a result of their respective gross
      negligence or willful misconduct; and provided further that
      such foregoing indemnity pursuant to this Section 9 shall not be available
      for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses or with respect
      to any lawsuits, inquiries, proceedings and investigations in respect
      thereof to the extent such arise out of any actions taken after the
