Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As described in China Architectural Engineering, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 18, 2008, the Company closed a financing transaction on April 15, 2008, with ABN AMRO Bank N.V., London Branch, CITIC Allco Investments Ltd. (together with ABN AMRO Bank N.V., London Branch, the “Subscribers”), and CITIC Capital Finance Ltd. issuing (i) US$20,000,000 12% Convertible Bonds due 2011 (the “Bonds”) and (ii) 300,000 warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company expiring 2013. The Bonds were issued further to a trust deed between the Company and The Bank of New York, London Branch (the “Trustee”), dated April 15, 2008 (the “Trust Deed”).

On September 17, 2008, the Company, the Trustee, and the Subscribers entered into an Agreement to Amend the Trust Deed, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2, and the Company and the Trustee entered into an Amended and Restated Trust Deed, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3 (collectively referred to as the “Amendment”). The Amendment amends certain provisions of the Trust Deed to incorporate and/or reference sections of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”). The Amendment provides that if any provision of the Trust Deed limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by certain specified provisions of the TIA, the duties imposed by the TIA will control. In addition, the Amendment provides that, among other things:
 
l
Bondholders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Bondholders with respect to their rights under the Trust Deed or the Bonds and the Company, the Trustee, and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA Section 312(c).
 
l
For so long as any Bonds are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Bondholders or cause the Trustee to furnish to the Bondholders, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K and all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K.
 
l
The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, with limited exceptions.
 
l
Bondholders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Bonds may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it, except that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Trust Deed that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Bondholders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
