which

corporation (the “Company”).
W
I T
N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of Acquisition Corp., Parent and the Company,
respectively, have determined that it is fair to and in the best interests
of
their respective corporations and shareholders for Acquisition Corp. to be
merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”)
upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;
WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of Acquisition Corp. and the Board of Directors of the
Company have approved the Merger in accordance with the Delaware general
corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth herein and in the Certificate of Merger (the “Certificate
of Merger”)
attached hereto as Exhibit
A;
and the
Board of Directors of Parent also has approved this Agreement and the
Certificate of Merger;
WHEREAS,
the requisite Shareholders (as such term is defined in Section 10 hereof) have
approved by written consent pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL this Agreement
and the Certificate of Merger and the transactions contemplated and described
hereby and thereby, including without limitation the Merger, and Parent, as
the
sole shareholder of Acquisition Corp., has approved this Agreement, the
Certificate of Merger and the transactions contemplated and described hereby
and
thereby, including without limitation the Merger; and
WHEREAS,
simultaneously with the Closing (as such term is defined herein), Parent (as
it
will exist as of the closing of the Merger) is selling shares of its common
stock, par value $.001 per share, in a private placement (the “Private
Placement”)
to
accredited investors, pursuant to the terms of a Confidential Private Placement
Memorandum, dated November 10, 2008 (as supplemented and amended from time
to
time, the “Memorandum”);
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter
set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. The
Merger
1.1 Merger.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger,
Acquisition Corp. shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with
Section 251, et. seq. of the DGCL. At the Effective Time (as hereinafter
defined), the separate legal existence of Acquisition Corp. shall cease, and
the
Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter
referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue its corporate
existence under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name “Defense
Solutions, Inc.”
1
1.2 Effective
Time.
The
Merger shall become effective on the date and at the time the Certificate of
Merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in
accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL but no later than November 30, 2008.
The
time at which the Merger shall become effective as aforesaid is referred to
hereinafter as the “Effective Time.”
1.3 Certificate
of Incorporation, By-laws, Directors and Officers
(a) The
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior
to
the Effective Time, attached as Exhibit
B
hereto,
shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation from
and
after the Effective Time until further amended in accordance with applicable
law.
(b) The
By-laws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time,
attached as Exhibit
C
hereto,
shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective
Time until amended in accordance with applicable law, the Certificate of
Incorporation and such By-laws.
(c) The
directors and officers listed in Exhibit
D
hereto
shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, and each
shall
hold his or her respective office or offices from and after the Effective Time
until his or her successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified
in
accordance with applicable law, or as otherwise provided in the Certificate
of
Incorporation or By-laws of the Surviving Corporation.
1.4 Assets
and Liabilities.
At the
Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights,
privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of a private nature,
and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of
Acquisition Corp and the Company (collectively, the “Constituent Corporations”);
and all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Constituent
Corporations, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due
to
any of the constituent corporations on whatever account, as well for stock
subscriptions as all other things in action or belonging to each of the
Constituent Corporations, shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation; and
all
property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other
interest shall be thereafter as effectively the property of the Surviving
Corporation as they were of the respective Constituent Corporations, and the
title to any real estate vested by deed or otherwise in either of the such
Constituent Corporations shall not revert or be in any way impaired by the
Merger; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of either
of
the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts,
liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach
to the Surviving Corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same extent
as if said debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by
it.
1.5 Manner
and Basis of Converting Shares
(a) At
the
Effective Time:
(i) each
share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Acquisition Corp. that
shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue
of
the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be
converted into the right to one share of common stock, par value $.001 per
share, of the Surviving Corporation, so that at the Effective Time, Parent
shall
be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving
Corporation;
2
(ii) the
shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of the Company (the
“Company
Common Stock”),
which
shares at the Closing will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock of the Company, beneficially owned by the Shareholders listed
in Schedule
2.5
(other
than shares of Company Common Stock as to which dissenters rights are perfected
pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL and not withdrawn or otherwise
forfeited), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part
of
the holders thereof, be converted into the right to receive 2.3163 shares of
Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock; and
(iii) each
share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled in the Merger and cease to
exist.
(b) After
the
Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the
stock
transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common
Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time.
1.6 Potential
Adjustment.
In the
event that Xxxxx Group shall, pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement dated
as
of November 1, 2007 between the Company and Xxxxx Group elect to receive the
Revenue Stream Payment (as defined in such Loan Agreement) in lieu of the
Warrant contemplated by such Loan Agreement, or such Warrant is otherwise
cancelled, then in such event each holder of Company Common Stock shall be
entitled to an additional 0.2848 shares of Parent Common Stock.
1.7 Fractional
Shares.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares
of
Parent Common Stock will be issued. Fractional shares shall be rounded up to
the
nearest whole share.
1.8 Surrender
and Exchange of Certificates.
Promptly after the Effective Time and upon (i) surrender of a certificate or
certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time or an affidavit and indemnification
in
form reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Parent stating that such
Shareholder has lost their certificate or certificates or that such have been
destroyed and (ii) delivery of a Letter of Transmittal in a form satisfactory
to
Parent, Parent shall issue to each record holder of Company Common Stock
surrendering such certificate or certificates and Letter of Transmittal, a
certificate or certificates registered in the name of such Shareholder
representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such Shareholder
shall be entitled to receive as set forth in Section 1.5(a)(ii) hereof and,
if
applicable, Section 1.6 hereof. Until the certificate, certificates or affidavit
is or are surrendered together with the Letter of Transmittal as contemplated
by
this Section 1.8, each certificate or affidavit that immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented any outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall
be deemed at and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive
upon surrender as aforesaid the Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section
1.5(a)(ii) and Section 1.6 for the holder thereof or to perfect any rights
of
appraisal which such holder may have pursuant to the applicable provisions
of
the DGCL.
3
1.9 Parent
Common Stock.
Parent
agrees that it will cause the Parent Common Stock into which the Company Common
Stock is converted at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(ii) to
be
available for such purpose. Parent further covenants that immediately prior
to
the Effective Time there will be no more than 47,076,890 shares of Parent Common
Stock issued and outstanding (before giving effect to the cancellation of shares
contemplated by Section 6.2(f)(6)(iii)) and that no other common or preferred
stock or equity securities or any options, warrants, rights or other agreements
or instruments convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common or preferred
stock, excluding the shares of preferred stock and warrants to be issued in
connection with the Private Placement, or other equity securities shall be
issued or outstanding,
except as described herein.
1.10 Exchange
of Options.
At
the
Effective Time, Parent shall issue to each holder of an option to purchase
shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Option”) an option to purchase a
number of shares of Parent Common Stock that is equal to the number of shares
that would have been issued to the holder of the option pursuant to Section
1.5
(and as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.6) if the option had been exercised
immediately before the Effective Time and the exercise price of which shall
be
equal to the exercise price of the original option divided by 2.3163 (or if
an
adjustment is made pursuant to Section 1.6, by 2.6011), but otherwise having
terms substantially similar to that of the Company Option for which it is
exchanged. Options with respect to fractional shares shall not be issued.
Fractional shares that would otherwise be subject to options shall be rounded
to
the nearest whole share.
1.11 Operation
of Surviving Corporation. The
Company acknowledges that upon the effectiveness of the Merger, and the
compliance by the Parent and Acquisition Corp. of its duties and obligations
hereunder, Parent shall have the absolute and unqualified right to deal with
the
assets and business of the Surviving Corporation as its own property without
limitation on the disposition or use of such assets or the conduct of such
business.
1.12 Further
Assurances.
From
time to time, from and after the Effective Time, as and when reasonably
requested by Parent, the proper officers and directors of the Company as of
the
Effective Time shall, for and on behalf and in the name of the Company or
otherwise, execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and
other instruments and shall take or cause to be taken such further actions
as
Parent, Acquisition Corp. or their respective successors or assigns reasonably
may deem necessary or desirable in order to confirm or record or otherwise
transfer to the Surviving Corporation title to and possession of all of the
properties, rights, privileges, powers, franchises and immunities of the Company
or otherwise to carry out fully the provisions and purposes of this Agreement
and the Certificate of Merger.

Subsidiaries taken together as one enterprise.
2.2 Qualification.
The
Company is duly qualified to conduct business as a foreign corporation and
is in
good standing in each jurisdiction wherein the nature of its activities or

operations or results of operations of the Company taken as a whole (the
“Condition
of the Company”).
