WONDER AUTO TECHNOLOGY, INC.
INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR’S CONTRACT

THIS AGREEMENT (The “Agreement”) is made as of the 23rd day of March, 2007 and is by and between Wonder Auto Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Company”) and David Murphy (hereinafter referred to as “Director”).

BACKGROUND

The Board of Directors of the Company desires to appoint Director to fill an existing vacancy and to have the Director perform the duties of independent director and Director desires to be so appointed for such position and to perform the duties required of such position in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

In consideration for the above recited promises and the mutual promises contained herein, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Director hereby agree as follows:

1. DUTIES. The Company requires that the Director be available to perform the duties of an independent director as described in the Company’s Handbook for Prospective Directors and such other duties customarily related to this function as may be determined and assigned by the Board of Directors of the Company and as may be required by the Company’s constituent instruments, including its certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws and its corporate governance and board committee charters, each as amended or modified from time to time, and by applicable law, including the Nevada General Corporation Law. Director agrees to devote as much time as is necessary to perform completely the duties as Director of the Company, including duties as a member of the Audit Committee and such other committees as the Director may hereafter be appointed to. The Director will perform such duties described herein in accordance with the general fiduciary duty of Directors arising under the Nevada General Corporation Law and Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

2. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date of the Director’s appointment by the board of directors of the Company (in the event the Director is appointed to fill a vacancy) or the date of the Director’s election by the stockholders of the Company and shall continue until the Director’s removal or resignation. Each 12-month period ending on the anniversary date of the Director’s appointment is a “Service Year.”

3. COMPENSATION. For all services to be rendered by Director in any capacity hereunder, the Company agrees to (i) pay Director a fee of $20,000 in cash per Service Year payable in equal quarterly installments (the “Base Cash Compensation”) throughout the Company’s fiscal year; and (ii) in any Service Year in which the Company consummates either (a) a registered public offering by it of its shares for its own account for cash or (b) a resale registration of shares on behalf of investors who purchased Company securities in a private placement for cash, but only if such placement occurred during that Service Year or a prior Service Year of the Director (a “Registered Offering”), grant and issue to Director (as additional non-cash compensation for his services as director in lieu of additional cash director compensation and expressly not as compensation for any services in connection with any Company offering, which services are not being offered or provided by the Director) such number of shares having a fair market value (calculated as determined below) equal to the aggregate value of the Base Cash Compensation to be paid to the Director for the Service Year in which the registration statement for the Registered Offering is first declared effective. The fair market value of the shares to be issued to the Director shall be the initial offering price of the Company’s shares in the Registered Offering. The shares issued to the Director shall bear restrictive legends and shall be saleable and transferable only in accordance with SEC Rule 144, but may be registered for resale on Form S-8 or S-3 if and when determined by the full Board of Directors of the Company. In the event a Registered Offering is not effected during a Service Year, an amount equal to the Base Cash Compensation amount shall be paid to the Director in cash at the end of the Service Year in lieu of any share grant. If the Director does not serve on the Board of Directors for at least 12 months prior to the effectiveness of the Registered Offering, the total number of shares granted to the Director will be reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect time actually served on the Board of Directors prior to the effectiveness of the Registered Offering. The initial year’s Base Cash Compensation is considered earned when paid and is nonrefundable. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Director a pro rata portion of the initial Service Year’s Base Cash Compensation described above (pro-rated for the remaining portion of the Company’s then-current fiscal year). Thereafter, payment shall be due on or before the first business day of the Company’s next fiscal year and in succeeding fiscal quarters as described above. Such Base Compensation and grant shares may be adjusted from time to time as agreed by the parties.

Exhibit 10.3

WONDER AUTO TECHNOLOGY, INC.
INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR’S CONTRACT

THIS AGREEMENT (The “Agreement”) is made as of the 23rd day of March, 2007 and is by and between Wonder Auto Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Company”) and Lei Jiang (hereinafter referred to as “Director”).

BACKGROUND

The Board of Directors of the Company desires to appoint Director to fill an existing vacancy and to have the Director perform the duties of independent director and Director desires to be so appointed for such position and to perform the duties required of such position in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

In consideration for the above recited promises and the mutual promises contained herein, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Director hereby agree as follows:

1. DUTIES. The Company requires that the Director be available to perform the duties of an independent director as described in the Company’s Handbook for Prospective Directors and such other duties customarily related to this function as may be determined and assigned by the Board of Directors of the Company and as may be required by the Company’s constituent instruments, including its certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws and its corporate governance and board committee charters, each as amended or modified from time to time, and by applicable law, including the Nevada General Corporation Law. Director agrees to devote as much time as is necessary to perform completely the duties as Director of the Company, including duties as a member of the Audit Committee and such other committees as the Director may hereafter be appointed to. The Director will perform such duties described herein in accordance with the general fiduciary duty of Directors arising under the Nevada General Corporation Law and Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

2. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date of the Director’s appointment by the board of directors of the Company (in the event the Director is appointed to fill a vacancy) or the date of the Director’s election by the stockholders of the Company and shall continue until the Director’s removal or resignation. Each 12-month period ending on the anniversary date of the Director’s appointment is a “Service Year.”

3. COMPENSATION. For all services to be rendered by Director in any capacity hereunder, the Company agrees to (i) pay Director a fee of $20,000 in cash per Service Year payable in equal quarterly installments (the “Base Cash Compensation”) throughout the Company’s fiscal year; and (ii) in any Service Year in which the Company consummates either (a) a registered public offering by it of its shares for its own account for cash or (b) a resale registration of shares on behalf of investors who purchased Company securities in a private placement for cash, but only if such placement occurred during that Service Year or a prior Service Year of the Director (a “Registered Offering”), grant and issue to Director (as additional non-cash compensation for his services as director in lieu of additional cash director compensation and expressly not as compensation for any services in connection with any Company offering, which services are not being offered or provided by the Director) such number of shares having a fair market value (calculated as determined below) equal to the aggregate value of the Base Cash Compensation to be paid to the Director for the Service Year in which the registration statement for the Registered Offering is first declared effective. The fair market value of the shares to be issued to the Director shall be the initial offering price of the Company’s shares in the Registered Offering. The shares issued to the Director shall bear restrictive legends and shall be saleable and transferable only in accordance with SEC Rule 144, but may be registered for resale on Form S-8 or S-3 if and when determined by the full Board of Directors of the Company. In the event a Registered Offering is not effected during a Service Year, an amount equal to the Base Cash Compensation amount shall be paid to the Director in cash at the end of the Service Year in lieu of any share grant. If the Director does not serve on the Board of Directors for at least 12 months prior to the effectiveness of the Registered Offering, the total number of shares granted to the Director will be reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect time actually served on the Board of Directors prior to the effectiveness of the Registered Offering. The initial year’s Base Cash Compensation is considered earned when paid and is nonrefundable. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Director a pro rata portion of the initial Service Year’s Base Cash Compensation described above (pro-rated for the remaining portion of the Company’s then-current fiscal year). Thereafter, payment shall be due on or before the first business day of the Company’s next fiscal year and in succeeding fiscal quarters as described above. Such Base Compensation and grant shares may be adjusted from time to time as agreed by the parties.
 
 
 

 
 
4. EXPENSES. In addition to the compensation provided in paragraph 3 hereof, the Company will reimburse Director for pre-approved reasonable business related expenses incurred in good faith in the performance of Director’s duties for the Company. Such payments shall be made by the Company upon submission by the Director of a signed statement itemizing the expenses incurred. Such statement shall be accompanied by sufficient documentary matter to support the expenditures.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Company and Director each acknowledge that, in order for the intents and purposes of this Agreement to be accomplished, Director shall necessarily be obtaining access to certain confidential information concerning the Company and its affairs, including, but not limited to business methods, information systems, financial data and strategic plans which are unique assets of the Company (“Confidential Information”). Director covenants not to, either directly or indirectly, in any manner, utilize or disclose to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity any Confidential Information.

6. NON-COMPETE. During the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Director’s removal or resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (the "Restricted Period"), the Director shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) in any manner whatsoever engage in any capacity with any business competitive with the Company's current lines of business or any business then engaged in by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates (the "Company's Business") for the Director’s own benefit or for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; or (ii) have any interest as owner, sole proprietor, shareholder, partner, lender, director, officer, manager, employee, consultant, agent or otherwise in any business competitive with the Company's Business; provided, however, that the Director may hold, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding securities of any person or entity which are listed on any national securities exchange or regularly traded in the over-the-counter market notwithstanding the fact that such person or entity is engaged in a business competitive with the Company's Business. In addition, during the Restricted Period, the Director shall not develop any property for use in the Company's Business on behalf of any person or entity other than the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.
 
 
 

 
 
7. TERMINATION. With or without cause, the Company and Director may each terminate this Agreement at any time upon ten (10) days written notice, and the Company shall be obligated to pay to Director the compensation and expenses due up to the date of the termination. If the director voluntarily resigns prior to October 1st of any year after the first year of this agreement, the Company shall be entitled to receive, upon written request by the Company, a prorated refund of the portion of the Base Cash Compensation that relates to the period after the termination date. Such written request must be submitted within ninety (90) days of the termination date. Nothing contained herein or omitted herefrom shall prevent the shareholder(s) of the Company from removing Director with immediate effect at any time for any reason.

8. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Director, to the full extent allowed by the law of the State of Nevada, and as provided by, or granted pursuant to, any charter provision, bylaw provision, agreement (including, without limitation, the Indemnification Agreement executed herewith), vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in Director’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The Company and the Director are executing the Indemnification Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

9. EFFECT OF WAIVER. The waiver by either party of the breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof.

10. NOTICE. Any and all notices referred to herein shall be sufficient if furnished in writing at the addresses specified on the signature page hereto or, if to the Company, to the Company’s address as specified in filings made by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and if by fax to 202.318.2502.
 
11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with, and the rights of the parties hereto shall be determined by, the laws of the State of Nevada without reference to that state’s conflicts of laws principles.

12. ASSIGNMENT. The rights and benefits of the Company under this Agreement shall be transferable, and all the covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by or against, its successors and assigns. The duties and obligations of the Director under this Agreement are personal and therefore Director may not assign any right or duty under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company.

13. MISCELLANEOUS. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared invalid or illegal, for any reason whatsoever, then, notwithstanding such invalidity or illegality, the remaining terms and provisions of the within Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in the same manner as if the invalid or illegal provision had not been contained herein.

14. ARTICLE HEADINGS. The article headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

15. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. Facsimile execution and delivery of this Agreement is legal, valid and binding for all purposes.

16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Except as provided elsewhere herein, this Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party to this Agreement with respect to such subject matter.

Exhibit 10.4

FORM OF THE INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement, dated as of the 23rd day of March, 2007 is made by and between WONDER AUTO TECHNOLOGY, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Larry Goldman/ David Murphy/ Lei Jiang, an independent director of the Company (the “Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

A. The Company and the Indemnitee recognize that the present state of the law is too uncertain to provide the Company's officers and directors with adequate and reliable advance knowledge or guidance with respect to the legal risks and potential liabilities to which they may become personally exposed as a result of performing their duties for the Company;

B. The Company and the Indemnitee are aware of the substantial growth in the number of lawsuits filed against corporate officers and directors in connection with their activities in such capacities and by reason of their status as such;

C. The Company and the Indemnitee recognize that the cost of defending against such lawsuits, whether or not meritorious, is typically beyond the financial resources of most officers and directors of the Company;

D. The Company and the Indemnitee recognize that the legal risks and potential liabilities, and the threat thereof, associated with proceedings filed against the officers and directors of the Company bear no reasonable relationship to the amount of compensation received by the Company's officers and directors;

E. The Company, after reasonable investigation prior to the date hereof, has determined that the liability insurance coverage available to the Company as of the date hereof is inadequate, unreasonably expensive or both. The Company believes, therefore, that the interest of the Company and its current and future shareholders would be best served by a combination of (i) such insurance as the Company may obtain pursuant to the Company’s obligations hereunder and (ii) a contract with its officers and directors, including the Indemnitee, to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law (as in effect on the date hereof, or, to the extent any amendment may expand such permitted indemnification, as hereafter in effect) against personal liability for actions taken in the performance of their duties to the Company;

F. Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes empowers Nevada corporations to indemnify their officers and directors and further states that the indemnification provided by Section 78.7502 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office; thus, Section 78.7502 does not by itself limit the extent to which the Company may indemnify persons serving as its officers and directors;

G. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws authorize the indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company in excess of that expressly permitted by Section 78.7502;
 
 
 

 
 
H. The Board of Directors of the Company has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to serve as officers and directors of the Company and to encourage such individuals to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company, it is necessary for the Company to contractually indemnify its officers and directors, and to assume for itself liability for expenses and damages in connection with claims against such officers and directors in connection with their service to the Company, and has further concluded that the failure to provide such contractual indemnification could result in great harm to the Company and its shareholders;

I. The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company, free from undue concern for the risks and potential liabilities associated with such services to the Company; and

J. The Indemnitee is willing to serve, or continue to serve, the Company, provided, and on the expressed condition, that he is furnished with the indemnification provided for herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS.

(a) “EXPENSES” means, for the purposes of this Agreement, all direct and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, any fees and disbursements of Indemnitee’s counsel, accountants and other experts and other out-of-pocket costs) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, preparation, defense or appeal of a Proceeding; provided, however, that Expenses shall not include judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding.

(b) “PROCEEDING” means, for the purposes of this Agreement, any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including an action brought by or in the right of the Company) in which Indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, by reason of any action taken by her or of any inaction on her part while acting as such director or officer or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or was a director or officer of the foreign or domestic corporation which was a predecessor corporation to the Company or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation, whether or not he is serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under this Agreement.

2. AGREEMENT TO SERVE.

Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company to the best of her abilities at the will of the Company or under separate contract, if such contract exists, for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed and qualified or until such time as he tenders her resignation in writing. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to continued employment.
 
 
 

 
 
3. INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement (if the settlement is approved in advance by the Company) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company) if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(b) PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against Expenses and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged liable to the Company in the performance of Indemnitee’s duty to the Company and its shareholders unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses and then only to the extent that the court shall determine.

(c) SCOPE. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to SECTION 14(b), the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws or by statute.
 
4. LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.

Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

(a) EXCLUDED ACTS. To indemnify Indemnitee for any acts or omissions or transactions from which a director may not be relieved of liability under applicable law;

(b) EXCLUDED INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENTS. To indemnify or advance Expenses in violation of any prohibition or limitation on indemnification under the statutes, regulations or rules promulgated by any state or federal regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the Company.

(c) CLAIMS INITIATED BY INDEMNITEE. To indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such suit;
 
 
 

 
 
(d) LACK OF GOOD FAITH. To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous;

(e) INSURED CLAIMS. To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which have been paid directly to or on behalf of Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company or any other policy of insurance maintained by the Company or Indemnitee;

(f) CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

5. DETERMINATION OF RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.

Upon receipt of a written claim addressed to the Board of Directors for indemnification pursuant to SECTION 3, the Company shall determine by any of the methods set forth in Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes whether Indemnitee has met the applicable standards of conduct which makes it permissible under applicable law to indemnify Indemnitee. If a claim under SECTION 3 is not paid in full by the Company within ninety (90) days after such written claim has been received by the Company, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, unless such action is dismissed by the court as frivolous or brought in bad faith, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. The court in which such action is brought shall determine whether Indemnitee or the Company shall have the burden of proof concerning whether Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

6. ADVANCEMENT AND REPAYMENT OF EXPENSES.

Subject to SECTION 4 hereof, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defending and investigating any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding within 30 days after receiving from Indemnitee the copies of invoices presented to Indemnitee for such Expenses, if Indemnitee shall provide an undertaking to the Company to repay such amount to the extent it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. In determining whether or not to make an advance hereunder, the ability of Indemnitee to repay shall not be a factor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in a proceeding brought by the Company directly, in its own right (as distinguished from an action bought derivatively or by any receiver or trustee), the Company shall not be required to make the advances called for hereby if the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that it does not appear that Indemnitee has met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under Applicable law to indemnify Indemnitee and the advancement of Expenses would not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

7. PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION.

If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification or advancement by the Company of some or a portion of any Expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by him in the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of a Proceeding, but is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify or pay advancements to the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses or liabilities to which the Indemnitee is entitled.
 
 
 

 
 
8. NOTICE TO COMPANY BY INDEMNITEE.

Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof; provided, however, that any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of her rights hereunder. The written notification to the Company shall be addressed to the Board of Directors and shall include a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding and be accompanied by copies of any documents filed with the court in which the Proceeding is pending. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power.

9. MAINTENANCE OF LIABILITY INSURANCE.

(a) Subject to SECTION 4 hereof, the Company hereby agrees that so long as Indemnitee shall continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company and thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding, the Company, subject to SECTION 9(B), shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain and maintain in full force and effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) which provides Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain D&O Insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or the Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the Company.

(c) If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to SECTION 8 hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

10. DEFENSE OF CLAIM.

In the event that the Company shall be obligated under SECTION 6 hereof to pay the Expenses of any Proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ her counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, or (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of such defense or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.
 
 
 

 
 
11. ATTORNEYS' FEES.

In the event that Indemnitee or the Company institutes an action to enforce or interpret any terms of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse Indemnitee for all of the Indemnitee's reasonable fees and expenses in bringing and pursuing such action or defense, unless as part of such action or defense, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action or defense were not made in good faith or were frivolous.

12. CONTINUATION OF OBLIGATIONS.

All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period the Indemnitee is a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, fiduciary, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible proceeding by reason of the fact that Indemnitee served in any capacity referred to herein.

13. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

This Agreement establishes contract rights that shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives of the parties hereto.

14. NON-EXCLUSIVITY.

(a) The provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights that the Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, the vote of the Company’s shareholders or disinterested directors, other agreements or otherwise, both as to action in her official capacity and action in another capacity while occupying her position as a director or officer of the Company.

(b) In the event of any changes, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute, or rule which expand the right of a Nevada corporation to indemnify its officers and directors, the Indemnitee’s rights and the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be expanded to the full extent permitted by such changes. In the event of any changes in any applicable law, statute or rule, which narrow the right of a Nevada corporation to indemnify a director or officer, such changes, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder.

15. EFFECTIVENESS OF AGREEMENT.

To the extent that the indemnification permitted under the terms of certain provisions of this Agreement exceeds the scope of the indemnification provided for in the Nevada Revised Statutes, such provisions shall not be effective unless and until the Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize such additional rights of indemnification. In all other respects, the balance of this Agreement shall be effective as of the date set forth on the first page and may apply to acts of omissions of Indemnitee which occurred prior to such date if Indemnitee was an officer, director, employee or other agent of the Company, or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at the time such act or omission occurred.
 
 
 

 
 
16. SEVERABILITY.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided in this SECTION 16. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

17. GOVERNING LAW.

This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without reference to its conflict of law principals. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provisions of law which render any provision of this Agreement unenforceable in any respect.

18. NOTICE.

All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party addressee or (ii) if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the mailing date. Addresses for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or as subsequently modified by written notice.

19. MUTUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the appropriate state or federal regulatory agency to submit for approval any request for indemnification, and has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

20. COUNTERPARTS.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

21. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties hereto.
 
 
 

 
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.

CODE OF ETHICS
 
OF
 
WONDER AUTO TECHNOLOGY, INC.
 
I. Objectives
 
Wonder Auto Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) is committed to the highest level of ethical behavior. The Company’s business success depends upon the reputation of the Company and its directors, officer and employees to perform with the highest level of integrity and principled business conduct.
 
This Code of Ethics (“Code”) applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, (collectively, the “Covered Persons”). This Code is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote all of the following:

·  
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

·  
full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and in other public communications made by the Company;

·  
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

·  
the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified herein for receiving notice of violations or potential violations of this Code; and

·  
accountability for adherence to this Code.

Current versions of the Code will be maintained on the Company’s Website and distributed periodically to all Covered Persons. Compliance with the Code is, first and foremost, the individual responsibility of every Covered Person.
 
This Code is not intended to cover every applicable law, or to provide answers to all questions that might arise; for such, the Company relies on each person’s sense of what is right, including a sense of when it is appropriate to seek guidance from others on an appropriate course of conduct.
 
II. Honest And Ethical Conduct
 
Each Covered Person must always conduct himself or herself in an honest and ethical manner. Each Covered Person must act with the highest standards of personal and professional integrity and must not tolerate others who attempt to deceive or evade responsibility for actions. Honest and ethical conduct must be a driving force in every decision made by a Covered Person while performing his or her duties for the Company. When in doubt as to whether an action is honest and ethical, each Covered Person shall seek advice from his or her immediate supervisor or senior management, as appropriate.
 
 
 

 
 
III. Conflicts Of Interest
 
The term “conflict of interest” refers to any circumstance that would cast doubt on a Covered Person’s ability to act objectively when representing the Company’s interest. Covered Persons should not use their position or association with the Company for their own or their family’s personal gain, and should avoid situations in which their personal interests (or those of their family) conflict or overlap, or appear to conflict or overlap, with the Company’s best interests.
 
The following are examples of activities that give rise to a conflict of interest. These examples do not in any way limit the general scope of the Company's policy regarding conflicts of interest.
 
·  
Where a Covered Person’s association with (or financial interest in) another person or entity would reasonably be expected to interfere with the Covered Person's independent judgment as to the Company’s best interest, that association or financial interest creates a conflict of interest.

·  
The holding of a financial interest by a Covered Person in any present or potential competitor, customer, supplier, or contractor of the Company creates a conflict of interest, except where the business or enterprise in which the Covered Person holds such financial interest is publicly owned, and the financial interest of the Covered Person in such public entity constitutes less than one percent (1%) of the ownership of that business or enterprise.

·  
The acceptance by a Covered Person of a membership on the board of directors, or serving as a consultant or advisor to any board or any management, of a business that is a present or potential competitor, customer, supplier, or contractor of the Company, creates a conflict of interest, unless such relationship is pre-approved in writing by the principal executive officer of the Company.

·  
Engaging in any transaction involving the Company, from which the Covered Person can benefit financially or otherwise, apart from the usual compensation received in the ordinary course of business, creates a conflict of interest. Such transactions include lending or borrowing money, guaranteeing debts, or accepting gifts, entertainment, or favors from a present or potential competitor, customer, supplier, or contractor of the Company.

·  
The use or disclosure of any unpublished information regarding the Company, obtained by a Covered Person in connection with his or her employment for personal benefit, creates a conflict of interest.
 
 It is our policy and it is expected that all Covered Persons should endeavor to avoid all situations that present an actual or apparent conflict of interest. All actual or apparent conflicts of interest must be handled honestly and ethically. If a Covered Person suspects that he or she may have a conflict of interest, that Covered Person is required to report the situation to, and to seek guidance from, his or her immediate supervisor or senior management, as appropriate. For purposes of this Code, directors, the principal executive officer, and the principal financial officer shall report any such conflict or potential conflict situations to the chairman of the audit committee, if one be created, and in the absence of an audit committee, to chairman of the board of directors. Officers (other than the principal executive officer and principal financial officer) and employees of the Company shall report any such situations to their immediate supervisor. It is the responsibility of the audit committee chairman or the chairman of the board, as applicable, to determine if a conflict of interest exists or whether such situation is likely to impair the Covered Persons ability to perform his or her assigned duties with the Company, and if such situation is determined to present a conflict, to determine the necessary resolution.
 
 
 

 
 
IV. Compliance With Applicable Laws, Rules And Regulations
 
Full compliance with letter and the spirit of all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, and applicable rules and listing standards of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities may be listed, is one of the foundations on which this Company’s ethical policies are built.

If any Covered Person has concerns or complaints regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters of the Company, Covered Person shall report such matters to his or her immediate supervisor. If the immediate supervisor is involved in the questionable accounting or auditing matter, or does not timely resolve the Covered Person’s concern, the Covered Person should submit their concerns to the principal executive officer or the principal financial officer. If the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer are involved in the questionable accounting or auditing matter, or do not timely resolve the Covered Person's concerns, the Covered person should submit his or her concern directly to the audit committee, if one be established, or to the board of directors in the absence of a designated audit committee.

Examples including financial results not yet released, imminent regulatory approval/disapproval of an alliance or other significant matter such as the purchase or sale of a business unit or significant assets, threatened litigation, or other significant facts about a business. No information obtained as the result of employment at, or a director’s service on the Board of, the Company may be used for personal profit or as the basis for a “tip” to others, unless such information has previously been made generally available to the public, and even in such circumstances, such information may be subject to other duties.

WONDER AUTO TECHNOLOGY, INC.
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

The Purpose of the Audit Committee
 
The purpose of the Audit Committee of Wonder Auto Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) is to represent and assist the board of directors in its general oversight of the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of the financial statements, and internal control and audit functions. Management is responsible for (a) the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company's financial statements; (b) accounting and financial reporting principles; and (c) the Company's internal controls and procedures designed to promote compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The Company's independent auditing firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
 
The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent auditor. Consequently, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditor. Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent auditor or to assure compliance with laws and regulations and the Company’s Code of Ethics. The Audit Committee serves a board level oversight role where it oversees the relationship with the independent auditor, as set forth in this charter, receives information and provides advice, counsel and general direction, as it deems appropriate, to management and the auditors, taking into account the information it receives, discussions with the auditor, and the experience of the Audit Committee's members in business, financial and accounting matters.
 
Membership and Structure

The Audit Committee is comprised of at least three directors determined by the board of directors to meet the director and audit committee member independence requirements and financial literacy requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ"), the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable requirements. At least one member of the Audit Committee must be financially sophisticated, as determined by the Board, and no Audit Committee member may have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any of the Company's current subsidiaries at any time during the past three years, each as required by NASDAQ listing standards. Appointment to the Audit Committee, including the designation of the Chair of the Audit Committee and the designation of any Audit Committee members as "audit committee financial experts", shall be made on an annual basis by the full Board upon recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee. Meetings of the Audit Committee shall be held at such times and places as the Audit Committee shall determine, including by written consent. When necessary, the Audit Committee shall meet in executive session outside of the presence of any senior executive officer of the Company. The Chair of the Audit Committee shall report on activities of the Audit Committee to the full Board. In fulfilling its responsibilities the Audit Committee shall have authority to delegate its authority to subcommittees, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The Audit Committee meets at least four times a year, on a quarterly basis. Additional meetings may occur as the Audit Committee or its chairperson deems advisable.

The Audit Committee will cause adequate minutes of all its proceedings to be kept, and will report on its actions and activities at the next quarterly meeting of the board of directors of the Company. Audit Committee members will be furnished with copies of the minutes of each meeting and any action taken by unanimous consent. The Audit Committee is governed by the same rules regarding meetings (including meetings by conference telephone or similar communications equipment), action without meetings, notice, waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements as are applicable to the board of directors of the Company. The Audit Committee is authorized to adopt its own rules of procedure not inconsistent with (a) any provision of this Charter, (b) any provision of the Bylaws of the Company, or (c) the laws of the state of Nevada.

The Chairman of the Audit Committee is to be contacted directly by the chief internal auditor or the independent auditor (1) to review items of a sensitive nature that can impact the accuracy of financial reporting or (2) to discuss significant issues relative to the overall Board responsibility that have been communicated to management but, in their judgment, may warrant follow-up by the Audit Committee.

As a growing public company, we believe that it is the appropriate time to apply for the listing on NASDAQ,'' said Qingjie Zhao, Wonder Auto's Chairman and CEO. ''If approved, we believe that Wonder Auto will gain access to a broader institutional investment community, strengthen its financing flexibility, and provide greater liquidity for its shareholders.”

Wonder Auto’s application for listing on the NASDAQ Global Market is subject to approval by NASDAQ. The Company's common stock will continue to trade on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board until NASDAQ approves its application.

In addition to the application for a NASDAQ listing, Wonder Auto has approved the appointment of three new independent directors, Mr. Larry Goldman, Mr. David Murphy and Mr. Lei Jiang, effective March 23, 2007.

“We warmly welcome the new independent directors to the Board. Each of the three new directors brings to Wonder Auto a broad range of financial and industry expertise, providing the desired foundation for solid corporate governance in an effort to enhance our transparency and commitment to value for our shareholders. The appointment of new independent directors is an important step in our company's future plans for a NASDAQ listing of our common stock,” said Qingjie Zhao, Wonder Auto's Chairman and CEO.
