on Capital Stock.
By
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Company
or the holders of any of the following securities:
(a) Conversion
of Company Common Stock.
At the
Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common
Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(b))
will be
canceled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to
receive 6.2676504 shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Exchange
Ratio”).
7
(b) Cancellation
of Company Common Stock Owned by Company.
At the
Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by Company
as
treasury stock and each share of Company Common Stock owned by any direct or
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Company immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion
thereof.
(c) Options
and Warrants to Purchase Company Common Stock.
At the
Effective Time, all options to purchase Company Common Stock then outstanding,
and all warrants to purchase Company Common Stock shall be converted into the
right to receive options and warrants to purchase Parent Common Stock in

Stock of Merger Sub.

such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.
All
shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares
of Company Common Stock then outstanding in accordance with the terms hereof
shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such securities, and there shall be no further registration of
transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company
Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
If,
after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving
Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided
in
this Article I.
1.7 [Intentionally
Omitted.]
1.8 Taking
of Necessary Action; Further Action.
If, at
any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable
to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving
Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property,
rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company and Merger Sub, the
officers and directors of Company and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the
name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take,
all
such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent
with this Agreement.
8
1.9 Shares
Subject to Appraisal Rights.
(a) Notwithstanding
Section 1.5,
Dissenting Shares (as hereinafter defined) shall not be converted into a right
to receive Parent Common Stock and the holders thereof shall be entitled only
to
such rights as are granted by Delaware Law. Each holder of Dissenting Shares
who
becomes entitled to payment for such shares pursuant to Delaware Law shall
receive payment therefor from the Surviving Corporation in accordance with
the
Delaware Law, provided, however, that (i) if any stockholder of Company who
asserts appraisal rights in connection with the Merger (a “Dissenter”)
has
failed to establish his entitlement to such rights as provided in Delaware
Law,
or (ii) if any such Dissenter has effectively withdrawn his demand for
payment for such shares or waived or lost his right to payment for his shares
under the appraisal rights process under Delaware Law the shares of Company
Common Stock held by such Dissenter shall be treated as if they had been
converted, as of the Effective Time, into a right to receive Parent Common
Stock
and as provided in Section 1.5.
Company
shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands for payment received by Company
from a person asserting appraisal rights, and Parent shall have the right to
participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.
Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any
payment with respect to, or settlement or offer to settle, any such
demands.
(b) As
used
herein, “Dissenting
Shares”
means
any shares of Company Common Stock held by stockholders of Company who are
entitled to appraisal rights under Delaware Law, and who have properly
exercised, perfected and not subsequently withdrawn or lost or waived their
rights to demand payment with respect to their shares in accordance with
Delaware Law.
1.10 Exchange
of Certificates; Legends. At
the
Closing or within a reasonable period of time thereafter: (i) the holders of
shares of Company Common Stock will provide to Parent: (1) completed and
executed letters of transmittal in customary form for use in effecting the
surrender of all shares of Company Common stock in exchange for shares of Parent
Common Stock; and (2) all stock certificates evidencing shares of Company Common
Stock; and (ii) Parent will provide to each holder of Company Common Stock,
promptly after the holders of such shares have provided the items in clauses
(i)(1) and (2) above, a certificate representing that number of shares of Parent
Common Stock issuable to such stockholders (as determined in accordance with
Section
1.5).
No
fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with
the
Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be
issued. In lieu of issuing any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, shares
will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. All stock certificates for
Company Common Stock shall be canceled promptly after such delivery. Until
surrendered as contemplated by this Section
1.10,
each
such stock certificate (other than any stock certificate representing Dissenting
Shares), shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only
the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in
exchange therefor, in accordance with this Agreement.

ARTICLE
II
REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF COMPANY
In
this
Agreement, any reference to any event, change, condition or effect being
“material”
with
respect to any person means any material event, change, condition or effect
related to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets (including
intangible assets), liabilities, business, operations or results of operations
of such person and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. In this Agreement, any
reference to a “Material
Adverse Effect”
with
respect to any person means any event, change or effect that is materially
adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets,
liabilities, business, operations or results of operations of such person and
its subsidiaries, individually or taken as a whole.
In
this
Agreement, any reference to the Company’s “knowledge”
means
the Company’s actual knowledge after reasonable inquiry of the Company’s
directors and executive officers (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the
Securities Act).
Except
as
disclosed in that section of the document of even date herewith delivered by
Company to Parent prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the
“Company
Disclosure Schedule”)
corresponding to the Section of this Agreement to which any of the
following representations and warranties specifically relate or as disclosed
in
another section of the Company Disclosure Schedule if it is reasonably apparent
from the nature of the disclosure that it is applicable to another Section
of
this Agreement, Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as
follows:
2.1 Organization,
Standing and Power.
Each of
Company and its subsidiaries is a corporation or limited liability company
duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing, and no certificates of
dissolution have been filed under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.
Each of Company and its subsidiaries has the power to own its properties and
to
carry on its business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be
conducted and is duly authorized and qualified to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and in
good standing would have a Material Adverse Effect on Company. Company has
delivered or made available to Parent a true and correct copy of the Certificate
of Incorporation (the “Certificate
of Incorporation”),
and
the Bylaws, or other charter documents, as applicable, of Company and each
of
its subsidiaries, each as amended to date. Neither Company nor any of its
subsidiaries is in violation of any of the provisions of its respective charter
or bylaws or equivalent organization documents. Company is the direct or
indirect owner of all outstanding shares of capital stock of each of its
subsidiaries and all such shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid
and nonassessable. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each such
subsidiary are owned by Company free and clear of all liens, charges, claims
or
encumbrances or rights of others. There are no outstanding subscriptions,
options, warrants, puts, calls, rights, exchangeable or convertible securities
or other commitments or agreements of any character relating to the issued
or
unissued capital stock or other securities of any such subsidiary, or otherwise
obligating Company or any such subsidiary to issue, transfer, sell, purchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire any such securities. Company does not directly
or
indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible
or
exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity or similar interest in, any
corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or
entity.
10
2.2 Capital
Structure.
The
authorized capital stock of Company consists of 15,000,000 shares of common
stock, $0.0001
par value, and no shares of preferred stock, of which there were issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, 9,180,902 shares of common
stock. There are no other outstanding shares of capital stock or voting
securities and no outstanding commitments to issue any shares of capital stock
or voting securities after the date hereof, other than upon the exercise of
options outstanding as of such date, and warrants issued in conjunction with
the
offering of units of the Company, completed on November 2, 2007 (the
“2007
Private Placement”).
All
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable and are free of any liens or encumbrances other
than any liens or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the holders thereof,
and are not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal created
by
statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Company or any agreement
to which Company is a party or by which it is bound. Immediately prior to the
Closing, Company had reserved (i) 301,613 shares of its common stock for
issuance to employees, consultants and directors pursuant to stock option
agreements, of which no shares have been issued pursuant to option exercises
and
301,613 shares are subject to outstanding, unexercised options, and
(ii) 788,531 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to outstanding
warrants to purchase common stock. Except for (i) the rights created pursuant
to
this Agreement, (ii) the Company’s rights to repurchase any unvested shares
under the stock option agreements, and (iii) the warrants and convertible
securities listed on Schedule 2.2
of the Company Disclosure Schedule,
there
are no other options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments or agreements of
any
character to which Company is a party or by which it is bound obligating Company
to issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem, or cause to be issued, delivered,
sold, repurchased or redeemed, any shares of capital stock of Company or
obligating Company to grant, extend, accelerate the vesting and/or repurchase
rights of, change the price of, or otherwise amend or enter into any such
option, warrant, call, right, commitment or agreement. There are no contracts,
commitments or agreements relating to voting, purchase or sale of Company’s
capital stock (i) between or among Company and any of its stockholders and
(ii)
to the best of Company’s knowledge, between or among any of Company’s
stockholders. The terms of the Company’s stock option agreements permit the
assumption or substitution of options to purchase Parent Common Stock as
provided in this Agreement, without the consent or approval of the holders
of
such securities or stockholders. True and complete copies of all such stock
option agreements have been made available to Parent and such agreements and
instruments have not been amended, modified or supplemented, and there are
no
agreements to amend, modify or supplement such agreements or instruments in
any
case from the form made available to Parent.
11
2.3 Authority.
Company
has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement
and
to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have
been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Company. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Company and constitutes the
valid and binding obligation of Company enforceable against Company in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy
and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and
general principles of equity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
by
Company does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default under (with
or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any
benefit under (i) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
of
Company or any of its subsidiaries, as amended, or (ii) to the Company’s
knowledge, any material mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement
or instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree,
statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Company or any of
its
subsidiaries or any of their properties or assets, except where such conflict,
violation, default, termination, cancellation or acceleration with respect
to
the foregoing provisions or (iii) could not have had and could not reasonably
be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Company. Except as disclosed
in
Schedule
2.3
of the
Company Disclosure Schedule, no consent, approval, order or authorization of,
or
registration, declaration or filing with, any court, administrative agency
or
commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality (“Governmental
Entity”)

extent permitted by the Delaware Law upon receipt of any undertaking
contemplated by Section 145(e) of the Delaware Law. Any Indemnified Party
wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 4.5,
upon
learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall
promptly notify Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and shall deliver to
Parent and the Surviving Corporation the undertaking contemplated by
Section 145(e) of the Delaware Law.
(b) To
the
extent there is any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether
arising before or after the Effective Time) against an Indemnified Party that
arises out of or pertains to any action or omission in his or her capacity
as
director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of Company occurring prior
to
the Effective Time, or arises out of or pertains to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement for a period lasting until the expiration of
five
years after the Effective Time (whether arising before or after the Effective
Time), in each case for which such Indemnified Party is indemnified under this
Section 4.5,
such
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be represented by counsel, which counsel
shall be counsel of Parent (provided that if use of counsel of Parent would
be
expected under applicable standards of professional conduct to give rise to
a
conflict between the position of the Indemnified Person and of Parent, the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled instead to be represented by counsel
selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to Parent) and
following the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall pay
the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, promptly after statements therefor
are received and the Surviving Corporation and Parent will cooperate in the
defense of any such matter; provided, however, that neither the Surviving
Corporation nor Parent shall be liable for any settlement effected without
its
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and
provided, further, that, in the event that any claim or claims for
indemnification are asserted or made prior to the expiration of such five year
period, all rights to indemnification in respect to any such claim or claims
shall continue until the disposition of any and all such claims. The Indemnified
Parties as a group may retain only one law firm (in addition to local counsel)
to represent them with respect to any single action unless there is, under
applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant
issue between the position of any two or more Indemnified Parties.
32
(c) The
provisions of this Section 4.5
are
intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified
Party, his or her heirs and representatives.
4.6 Tax
Treatment.
Parent,
Merger Sub, Company and Company shareholders (collectively, the “Parties”)
intend
that (i) the Merger qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368 of the Code and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). In addition, the Parties intend that the
Merger qualifies as a tax-free exchange of property for Parent Common Stock
under Section 351 of the Code. None of the Parties nor their affiliates has
taken any action, nor will they take any action, that could reasonably prevent
or impede the tax treatment discussed in the two preceding sentences. The
Parent, Merger Sub and Company agree to report the Merger on their Tax Returns
as both: (A) a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code and (B) a tax-free
exchange of property for Parent Common Stock under Section 351 of the Code
for
U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. In addition, the Company
shareholders agree to report and treat the Merger on their Tax Returns as either
or both (x) a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code or (y) a tax-free
exchange of property for Parent Common Stock under Section 351 of the Code
for
U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

Pending Litigation
Bonds
Financial, Inc. and Xxxx Xxxxx III v. Kestrel Technologies LLC a/ka/ Kestrel
Technologies, Inc.
(“Kestrel”) and
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (the
“Kestrel Matter”). The Company, along with Xxxx Xxxxx III, one of its directors,
commenced this action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County
of
New York, on or about August 15, 2006 alleging certain defaults and breaches
by
Kestrel and Xx. Xxxxxx under: (i) a Master Professional Services Agreement
by
and between the Company and Kestrel, dated on or about December 27, 2005, as
amended, along with the two Statement of Works thereunder (the “Master
Agreement”) and (ii) a Revolving Credit Agreement by and between Kestrel and the
Company, dated February 1, 2006 and the promissory note issued by Kestrel in
the
aggregate principal amount of $150,000 (the “RCA”). The Company is seeking
damages of not less than $1,000,000 (plus prejudgment interest), punitive
damages, $250,000 plus interest due to the Company under the RCA, attorneys’
fees, costs and expenses with respect to the Company’s claim for the $250,000
due to it under the RCA, and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. On
or
about September 27, 0000, Xxxxxxx filed a counterclaim against the Company
seeking damages in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 for the Company’s alleged
breach of the Master Agreement, and a declaration that Kestrel has no further
obligations under the Master Agreement. Pursuant to the Master Agreement,
Kestrel was entitled to receive 15% of the outstanding equity of the Company.
However, since Kestrel never performed under the Master Agreement, the Company
did not issue such equity to Kestrel. Furthermore, Kestrel does not demand
issuance of any equity as damages in its counterclaim. The Company filed a
First
Amended Complaint and Answer to Counterclaims, dated December 8, 2006. As of
the
date of the Agreement, the Company’s Second Amended Complaint and Answer to
Counterclaims, dated August 16, 2007, is still pending before the Court.
