Exhibit 2.2
STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
This Agreement is entered into as of October 9, 1998, among XXXXXXXXX
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, a Colorado corporation (the "Company"); GRDC,
INC., a Colorado corporation ("GRDC"); and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx who are
shareholders of the Company (collectively, the "Shareholders").
RECITALS:
A. The common stock of the Company, no par value, is quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. under symbol "GRDC." However, the common stock of the Company is not
actively traded and there is no market for the common stock.
B. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, MNS Eagle Equity
Group V, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("MNS") was merged into the Company
effective on January 21, 1998 (the "Merger"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated December 12, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"); and as part of the
Merger, the Company issued to the shareholders of MNS an aggregate of 273,000
shares of the Company's common stock. Following the Merger, the Shareholders own
an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of the common stock of the Company (the
"Control Shares"), as reflected on SCHEDULE A to this Agreement.
C. Pursuant to that certain Assignment and Indemnity Agreement dated June
8, 1998, the Company transferred all of its assets and liabilities to GRDC, its
wholly owned subsidiary, which also assumed all liabilities whatever of the
Company, and the Company owns all of the 10,000 shares of common stock, no par
value, of GRDC issued and outstanding (the "GRDC Shares").
D. The principal motivation of the Company in entering into the Merger and
becoming publicly held was to enhance the Company's ability to raise capital and
to create liquidity in its common stock, among other things; however, due to the
volatility of the stock markets, the Company's posture as a public company has
been frustrated by the lack of a market in the Company's stock, resulting in
consequent inability to raise capital.
E. The Shareholders, who were the principal owners of the Company prior to
the Merger, now wish to exchange substantially all of the Control Shares for the
GRDC Shares in order to obtain complete ownership of GRDC, INC. and operate it
as a privately held company; and the Board of Directors of the Company has no
objection to such exchange.
Page 1
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants,
representations and warranties set forth below, the parties agree that:
1. The Exchange of Shares. It is the desire of the Shareholders and of the
Board of Directors of the Company that the Shareholders and the Company enter
into an exchange of shares (the "Exchange") in which the Shareholders shall
transfer to the Company an aggregate of 1,175,000 of the Control Shares (the
"Exchange Shares") in exchange for the Company's transfer to them on a ratable
basis of all the GRDC Shares. On the effective date of the Exchange, the
following shall occur:
(a) All certificates evidencing the Control Shares shall be surrendered by
the Shareholders to the Company for cancellation, which certificates shall
either be signed for transfer on the reverse side or shall be accompanied by
signed stock powers, in each case signed in the exact name in which the
certificate is registered; upon receiving such certificates the 1,175,000
Exchange Shares comprising part of the Control Shares shall be cancelled on the
transfer books of the Company and resume the status of authorized and unissued
shares. The number of Exchange Shares being transferred to the Company by each
Shareholder is reflected on SCHEDULE A to this Agreement.
(b) Certificates evidencing the 25,000 Control Shares not being cancelled
or exchanged but being retained by the Shareholders (the "Balance Shares") shall
be issued by the Company at Closing to the Shareholders in the respective
denominations reflected on SCHEDULE A to this Agreement, based upon percentage
of ownership of the Control Shares; only one certificate to be issued to each
Shareholder. Each certificate issued evidencing Balance Shares shall be subject
to the same restrictions on transfer and other limitations, if any, as the
Control Shares submitted for cancellation; except that, if a Shareholder owns
both restricted and unrestricted shares, the Shareholder shall be deemed to
retain the unrestricted shares as Balance Shares. However, if the number of
unrestricted shares owned by a Shareholder is less than the number of Balance
Shares being retained, the Shareholder shall receive two certificates, one
unrestricted and the other containing the same restrictions to which the
restricted shares now are subject.
(c) The issued and outstanding certificates registered in the Company's
name and evidencing the GRDC Shares shall be cancelled on the books of GRDC, and
the GRDC Shares shall be reissued in the names of and delivered to the
Shareholders in the respective denominations reflected on SCHEDULE A to this
Agreement. The GRDC Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended ("Act"), and each certificate evidencing GRDC Shares shall bear
a customary form of investment legend restricting transfer thereof except upon
registration under the Act or pursuant to an available exemption from such
registration requirements.
2. Effect of This Transaction. The effect of this transaction shall be to
transfer ownership of GRDC from the Company to the group of Shareholders, thus
restoring to them the ownership of the business now owned and operated in GRDC,
and to cancel all of the Control Shares except the Balance Shares.
Page 2
3. Shareholder Approval. As soon as reasonably practical, the Secretary of
the Company shall call a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company to
consider and vote upon the Exchange. The vote requirement shall be that imposed
by Colorado law in regard to bulk sales of corporate assets. If shareholder
approval is duly obtained at such meeting, this Agreement and the transactions
herein contemplated shall be promptly closed following that meeting and all
deliveries made as herein called for.
4. Waiver of Damages or Compensation.
(a) GRDC and the Shareholders all and severally forever waive the right
to claim any money or other damages or recompense of any kind whatsoever from
the Company based upon, and each and severally acknowledge and agree that he,
she or it has not suffered any money or other damages as a result of, the Merger
or any breach or alleged breach of the Merger Agreement, the failure or alleged
failure of any of the Company's representations or warranties set forth in the
Merger Agreement, or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
herein contemplated. However, nothing herein shall relieve GRDC from any of its
obligations or liabilities assumed or existing under the Assignment and
Indemnity Agreement, or from any obligations that may exist due to the failure
of any warranty or representation made by GRDC in the Assignment and Indemnity
Agreement.
(b) The Company forever waives the right to claim any money or other
damages or recompense of any kind whatsoever from GRDC or any of the
Shareholders based upon, and acknowledges and agrees that it has not suffered
any money or other damages as a result of, any breach or alleged breach of the
Merger Agreement by them or any of them, or in connection with this Agreement
and the transactions herein contemplated.
(c) By transferring and surrendering the Exchange Shares to the Company,
the Shareholders forever waive any increase in value which might accrue to them
as a result of any increase in the value or market price of the shares of
capital stock of the Company. By transferring the GRDC Shares to the
Shareholders, the Company forever waives any equity interest or other right or
interest whatsoever in or to GRDC, including any increase in value which the
shares of capital stock of GRDC may ever undergo.

warranties of the parties shall survive the Closing.
