WHEREAS, InterAmerican was organized for the purpose of acquiring an operating business (a “Business Combination”);
 
WHEREAS, InterAmerican consummated an initial public offering in September 2007 (“IPO”) in connection with which it raised net proceeds of approximately $45.2 million that were placed in a trust account pending the consummation of a Business Combination, or the dissolution and liquidation of InterAmerican, in the event it is unable to consummate a Business Combination by September 10, 2009.
 
WHEREAS, InterAmerican has agreed to acquire (the “Acquisition”) Sing Kung Limited pursuant to certain agreements (the “Transaction Agreements”).
 
WHEREAS, the approval of the Acquisition is contingent upon, among other things, the affirmative vote of holders of majority of InterAmerican’s outstanding ordinary shares which are present and entitled to vote at the meeting.
 
WHEREAS, pursuant to certain provisions in InterAmerican’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, a holder of ordinary shares of InterAmerican issued in the IPO may, if s/he/it votes against the Acquisition, demand that InterAmerican convert such ordinary shares into cash (“Conversion Rights”).
 
WHEREAS, the Acquisition is subject to the exercise of Conversion Rights by holders of less than 20% of the InterAmerican ordinary shares issued in the IPO.
 
WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to sell to Buyer and Buyer has agreed to purchase from Seller the shares of common stock set forth on the execution page of this Agreement (“Shares”) for the purchase price per share set forth thereon, less any dividend paid to Seller on such Shares prior to the Closing (as defined below) (“Purchase Price Per Share”) and for the aggregate purchase price set forth thereon, less any dividend paid to Seller on such Shares prior to the Closing (“Aggregate Purchase Price”).  Seller hereby waives any right, title or interest in or to any dividend payable on the shares of Buyer’s common stock after the Closing.
