ARTICLE

THE
MERGER
SECTION
1.01. Filing
of Certificate of Merger; Effective Time
Subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, a certificate of merger in the forms
approved by the parties hereto (the “Certificate of Merger”) shall be duly
prepared, executed and acknowledged in accordance with the DGCL and the TBOC
and
thereafter delivered to the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware for
filing as provided in the DGCL and to the Secretary of State of the State of
Texas for filing as provided in the TBOC simultaneously with the Closing (as

of
the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
and the Secretary of State of the State of Texas for filing as provided in
the
DGCL and the TBOC, respectively (the “Effective Time”).
SECTION
1.02. Effects
of the Merger.
(a) At
the
Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, (i) the separate corporate existence
of BBI shall cease and BBI shall be merged with and into Merger Sub, and Merger
Sub shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”); (ii) all
of the issued and outstanding BBI Common Stock shall be converted as provided
in
Section 1.03; (iii) the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of
incorporation of the Surviving Corporation; and (iv) the by-laws of Merger
Sub
as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the by-laws of
the
Surviving Corporation.
(b) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto and to any other
applicable laws, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges,
powers and franchises of BBI and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving
Corporation, and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, all debts,
liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of BBI and Merger Sub shall
become the debts, liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the
Surviving Corporation. As promptly as possible after the Effective Time, the
Surviving Corporation shall change its name to Boo Koo Beverages,
Inc.
SECTION
1.03. Conversion
of Securities.
As
of the
Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part
of
any holder thereof:
(a) Each
share of BBI Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior
to
the Effective Time, other than shares of BBI Common Stock that are owned by
shareholders who have not consented to the Merger and who have otherwise taken
all of the steps required by Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC to properly
exercise and perfect such shareholders’ dissenters rights (such shares of BBI
Common Stock, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall, except as set forth below, be
converted into that number of shares of CFG Common Stock equal to the Conversion
Amount. All such shares of BBI Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding
and
shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each
holder of a certificate representing such shares of BBI Common Stock shall
cease
to have any rights with respect thereto, except (i) the right to receive the
number of shares of CFG Common Stock to be issued in consideration therefor
upon
surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.05, without interest,
or (ii), in the case of Dissenting Shares, the right to receive the payment
to
which reference is made in Section 1.04(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any
BBI Stockholders (each, a “Non-Certifying BBI Stockholder”) who fail to provide
to BBI prior to the Effective Time either (i) the appropriate certifications
and/or questionnaires that such BBI Stockholder is an “accredited investor” as
such term is defined in Rule 502 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as determined by the
Surviving Corporation and its counsel, or (ii) an executed Purchaser
Representative Agreement appointing a “purchaser representative” (as such term
is defined in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act),
then such Non-Certifying BBI Stockholder(s) shall not be entitled to receive
shares of CFG Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.03(a) and in lieu thereof,
shall receive cash in amount equal to the number of shares of CFG Common Stock
such BBI Stockholder would have received in the Merger multiplied by a price
per
share of CFG Common Stock equal to $0.10. In addition, no fractional shares
shall be issued and in the event a BBI Stockholder is entitled to receive a
fractional share in an amount of (i) up to .49 of a share, then the number
of
shares to be issued to such BBI Stockholder shall be rounded down and (ii)
.5 of
a share or above, then the number of shares of CFG Common Stock to be issued
to
such BBI Stockholder shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share;
and
-2-
(b) Each
share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and be converted into one share
of
common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and each certificate evidencing
ownership of any such shares of Merger Sub shall thereupon evidence ownership
of
the same number of shares of the Surviving Corporation.
(c) Each
share of CFG Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior
to
the Effective Time and held by BBI shall be canceled and each certificate
evidencing ownership of any such shares shall thereupon be
canceled.
(d) Each
outstanding option and warrant to purchase shares of BBI Common Stock (each
a
“BBI Stock Option and Warrant” and, collectively, “BBI Stock Options and
Warrants”) whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by CFG. Each BBI Stock
Option and Warrant so assumed by CFG under this Agreement will continue to
have,
and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such BBI Stock Option and
Warrant, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Closing (including without
limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions and provisions regarding
the acceleration of vesting on certain transactions, other than the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement), except that (i) each BBI Stock Option and
Warrant, as the case may be, will be exercisable (or will become exercisable
in
accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of CFG Common Stock
equal to the product of the number of shares of BBI Common Stock that were
issuable upon exercise of such BBI Stock Option and Warrant, as the case may
be,
immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by the Conversion Amount, rounded
up
to the nearest whole number of shares of CFG Common Stock, and (ii) the per
share exercise price for the shares of CFG Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of such assumed BBI Stock Option and Warrant, as the case may be, will be equal
to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of BBI
Common Stock at which such BBI Stock Option or Warrant, as the case may be,
was
exercisable immediately prior to the Closing by the Conversion Amount, rounded
down to the nearest whole cent. At the Effective Time, the MVPS Warrant shall
be
exercised and MVPS, LLC shall be issued shares of CFG Common Stock equal to
3%
of the outstanding shares of CFG Common Stock.

SECTION
1.04. Dissenting
Shares.
(a) As
promptly as practicable but in no event later than the 11th
calendar
day following approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of BBI, BBI will
mail to every shareholder of record of BBI that did not consent to the approval
of this Agreement, notice of the fact and date of the approval of this Agreement
and the Merger in accordance with Section 6.202(d) of the TBOC and that the
shareholder may exercise the shareholder’s right to dissent from the Merger in
accordance with Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC. The notice shall be
accompanied by a copy of Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC, a copy of
this
Agreement, and such additional information and materials as the Surviving
Corporation or CFG may elect to provide.
(b) Any
holder of shares of BBI Common Stock who perfects such holder’s rights of
dissent and appraisal in accordance with and as contemplated by Subchapter
H of
Chapter 10 of the TBOC shall not receive payment pursuant to Section 1.03 but
shall instead be entitled to receive from CFG, the fair value of such shares
in
cash as determined pursuant to such provision of the TBOC; provided, that no
such payment shall be made to any dissenting shareholder unless and until such
dissenting shareholder has complied with the applicable provisions of the TBOC
and surrendered to CFG the certificate or certificates representing the shares
for which payment is being made. In the event that a dissenting shareholder
of
BBI fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, such holder’s right to
dissent and receive payment for such holder’s shares, CFG shall issue and
deliver the consideration to which such holder of shares of CFG Common Stock
is
entitled under this Article I (without interest) upon surrender by such holder
of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of BBI Common Stock
held by such holder.
(c) BBI
shall
give CFG prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal or payment for
shares of BBI Common Stock received by it, attempted withdrawals of such demands
and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable law that are received
by
BBI with respect to shareholders’ rights to dissent. BBI shall not, without the
prior written consent of CFG, voluntarily make any payment with respect to,
or
settle or offer to settle, any such demands.
(d) CFG
shall
control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any demands for
dissenter’s rights. CFG shall promptly pay to any dissenting shareholder any and
all amounts due and owing to such holder as a result of any settlement or final
determination by any court of competent jurisdiction with respect to such
demands.
SECTION
1.05. Exchange
Procedures.
(a) As
soon
as practicable after the Effective Time, CFG shall mail to each BBI Stockholder
a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender
of
certificates representing shares of BBI Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time (the “Certificates”) in appropriate and customary
form with such provisions as the board of directors of CFG after the Merger
may
reasonably specify. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to CFG,
together with such letter of transmittal, duly and properly executed, the holder
of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a
certificate representing that number of shares of CFG Common Stock as is equal
to the product of the number of shares of BBI Common Stock represented by the
certificate multiplied by the Conversion Amount, together with any dividends
and
other distributions payable as provided in Section 1.06 hereof, and the
Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated
by this Section 1.05, each Certificate shall, at and after the Effective Time,
be deemed to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender of such
Certificate, CFG Common Stock as contemplated by this Section 1.05, together
with any dividends and other distributions payable as provided in Section 1.06
hereof, and the holders thereof shall have no rights whatsoever as stockholders
of CFG. Shares of CFG Common Stock issued in the Merger shall be issued, and
be
deemed to be outstanding, as of the Effective Time. CFG shall cause all such
shares of CFG Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger to be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive
rights.
-4-
(b) If
any
certificate representing shares of CFG Common Stock is to be issued in a name
other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is
registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Certificate so
surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer
and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay any transfer or other
taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such shares of
CFG
Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the
Certificate so surrendered.
(c) In
the
event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making
of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be
lost,
stolen or destroyed and upon the posting by such person of a bond in such amount
as CFG may reasonably direct as an indemnity against any claim that may be
made
against it with respect to such Certificate, CFG will issue in respect of such
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate one or more certificates representing
shares of CFG Common Stock as contemplated by this Section 1.05 and such person
shall be entitled to the dividend and other distribution rights provided in
Section 1.06 hereof.
(d) If
any
Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to three years after the
Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any payment
in respect hereof would otherwise escheat or become the property of any
governmental unit or agency), the payment in respect of such Certificates shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving
Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interests of any person previously
entitled thereto.
(e) CFG
shall
be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of a Certificate surrendered for shares
of CFG Common Stock (and dividends or distributions with respect to CFG Common
Stock as contemplated by Section 1.06 hereof) such amount as CFG is required
to
deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code,
or provisions of any state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts
are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes
of
this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of such
Certificate.
-5-
SECTION
1.06. Dividends
and Distributions.
No
dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to CFG Common
Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the
holder of a Certificate entitled by reason of the Merger to receive certificates
representing CFG Common Stock until such holder surrenders such Certificate
as
provided in Section 1.05 hereof. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid by
CFG
to the person in whose name certificates representing shares of CFG Common
Stock
shall be issued pursuant to the terms of this Article I (i) at the time of
the
surrender of such Certificate, the amount of any dividends and other
distributions theretofore paid with respect to that number of whole shares
of
such CFG Common Stock represented by such surrendered Certificate pursuant
to
the terms of this Article I, which dividends or other distributions had a record
date on or after the Effective Time and a payment date prior to such surrender
and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends and other
distributions payable with respect to that number of whole shares of CFG Common
Stock represented by such surrendered Certificate pursuant to the terms of
this
Article I, which dividends or other distributions have a record date on or
after
the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender.
SECTION
1.07. Directors.
Subject
to applicable law, the directors of BBI immediately prior to the Effective
Time
shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold

and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of CFG in effect prior to the
Effective Time.
SECTION
1.09. No
Liability.
Neither
CFG nor BBI shall be liable to any holder of shares of BBI Common Stock or

of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except

CFG Subsidiary or any assets of CFG or any CFG Subsidiary may be bound, except,
in the case of clauses (b) and (c), for such conflicts, violations or defaults
which are set forth in Section 3.04 of the CFG Disclosure Schedule and as to
which requisite waivers or consents will have been obtained prior to the Closing
or which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a CFG Material
Adverse Effect. No Governmental Approval is required to be obtained or made
