PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND SHARE EXCHANGE
THIS
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND SHARE EXCHANGE
(the

under the laws of Delaware, with its principal place of business located at
Xxx
Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“PCLP"); American Sunrise
International, Inc., a Delaware Corporation with its principal place of business
located at 00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000
("ASI”),
Jilin Dongsheng Weiye Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Dongsheng”), a limited
liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China
(the “PRC”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASI, with its principal place of
business located at [0-800 Jifong Highway, Jiangnan Blvd., Jilin, Jilin
Province, PRC, and the ASI shareholders listed on Schedule 3.2 attached hereto
and made a part hereof (“ASI Shareholders”) (collectively, ASI, Dongsheng and
the ASI Shareholders shall be known as the “ASI Group”).
Premises
A. This
Agreement provides for the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of ASI owned by the ASI Shareholders, making ASI a wholly owned
subsidiary of PCLP, in exchange for the issuance of (1) all of PCLP’s authorized
but unissued common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and (2)
shares of PCLP’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share,
of which each share converts into 500 shares of PCLP’s Common Stock, which shall
constitute 98.7% of PCLP’s
issued and outstanding fully diluted common stock after the transaction is
closed.
B. The
boards of directors of PCLP and ASI have determined, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, that the transaction contemplated hereby
is desirable and in the best interests of their stockholders, respectively.
This
Agreement is being entered into for the purpose of setting forth the terms
and
conditions of the proposed acquisition.
C. The
boards of directors of PCLP and ASI have determined that it would be in the
best
interests of PCLP and its shareholders to separate PCLP’s current business from
PCLP (the “Spinco Business”) after the transaction closes, contribute the Spinco
Business to Paperclip Inc., and distribute the stock of Paperclip Inc. to the
present shareholders of PCLP prior to the transaction.
D. The
parties desire that the exchange qualify as a tax free exchange meeting the
requirements of Article 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as
amended.

NOW,
THEREFORE,
on the
stated premises and for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth and the mutual benefits to the parties to
be
derived here from, it is hereby agreed as follows:

and
orders of public authorities to own all of its properties and assets and to
carry on its business in all material respects as it is now being conducted,
including qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in the
jurisdiction in which the character and location of the assets owned by it
or
the nature of the business transacted by it requires qualification. Included
in
the Schedules attached hereto (hereinafter defined) are complete and correct
copies of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws and amendments thereto as
in
effect on the date hereof. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does
not
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in
accordance with the terms hereof will not violate any provision of PCLP's
certificate of incorporation or bylaws. PCLP has full power, authority and
legal
right and has taken all action required by law, its certificate of
incorporation, its bylaws or otherwise to authorize the execution and delivery

outstanding, and 3,649,543 Series A Preferred Stock shares issued and
outstanding. No other shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding.
The
3,649,543 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be converted

common stock.
All
issued and outstanding shares are legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable

statutes and regulations of any federal, state or other governmental entity
