MERGER CONSIDERATION

AND

EFFECT OF MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 3.1 Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of capital stock of the Company, or Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury and Parent Owned Stock. Each share of the Company Merger Stock (i) issued and held in the Company’s treasury or (ii) owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or the Company shall, at the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of the Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 3.1(f), each issued and outstanding share, (other than Dissenting Shares) on a fully diluted basis, of the Company Common Stock at the Effective Time shall be converted into and represent the right to receive three (3) (the “Common Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Common Merger Consideration”). No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued. As of the Effective Time, all the Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any shares of the Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Common Merger Consideration, without interest. The Common Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to the Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Company Warrants. The Company shall cause the termination, as of the Effective Time, of any and all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company Common Stock (the “Company Warrants”) which remain unexercised and the Parent shall, at Closing, issue new warrants (the “Parent Warrants”) in substitution for the Company Warrants, on substantially the same terms and conditions of the Company Warrants, but representing the right to acquire such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the number of Company Shares subject to the unexercised portion of the Warrant multiplied by the Common Exchange Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded to the nearest whole number, and with 0.5 shares rounded upward to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each Parent Warrant shall be equal to the exercise price of the Company Warrant prior to conversion divided by the Common Exchange Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such division to be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and with $0.005 rounded downwards to the nearest whole number). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall take appropriate actions to collect the Company Warrants and the agreements evidencing the Company Warrants, which shall be deemed to be canceled and shall entitle the holder to exchange the Company Warrants for Parent Warrants.

(e) Company Options. As of the Effective Time, all options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued by the Company, whether vested or unvested (the “Company Options”), shall be canceled and exchanged for options to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (“Parent Options”) without further action by the holder thereof. Each Parent Option shall constitute an option to acquire such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the number of Company Shares subject to the unexercised portion of the Option multiplied by the Common Exchange Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded to the nearest whole number, and with 0.5 shares rounded upward to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each Parent Option shall be equal to the exercise price of the Option prior to conversion divided by the Common Exchange Ratio. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall take appropriate actions to collect the Company Options and the agreements evidencing the Company Options, which shall be deemed to be canceled and shall entitle the holder to exchange the Company Options for Parent Options.

(f) Shares of Dissenting Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Merger Stock (the “Dissenting Shares”) that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a stockholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who, in all respects, complies with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (all such stockholders, the “Dissenting Stockholders”), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL (or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL). If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn or lost such right (or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL), such holder’s shares of Company Merger Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such share of Company Merger Stock, as provided herein, without any interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Merger Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer or agree to settle, any such demand for payment or waive any failure by a stockholder to timely comply with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL to perfect or demand appraisal. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.2 to pay for shares of Company Merger Stock for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Parent upon demand. The number of Dissenting Shares shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the Company Merger Stock.

Section 3.2 Exchange of Company Share Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate its transfer agent or another trust company to act as agent for the holders of the shares of the Company Merger Stock in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”) to receive in trust the Merger Consideration to which holders of the shares of the Company Merger Stock shall become entitled hereunder. From time to time, Parent shall make available, or cause the Surviving Corporation to make available, to the Exchange Agent certificates (or evidence of Parent Book-Entry shares of the Parent Common Stock) representing the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration in exchange for outstanding shares of the Company Merger Stock in amounts and at times necessary for the prompt payment of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of Certificates representing shares of the Company Merger Stock as provided herein.

(b) Exchange Procedure. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of the Company Merger Stock (the “Company Share Certificates”), (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in a form as Parent may reasonably specify); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Company Share Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Company Share Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of the Company Merger Stock theretofore represented by such Company Share Certificate shall have been converted, pursuant to Section 3.1 and the Company Share Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of the Company Merger Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Company Share Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Share Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration, without interest, which the shares of the Company Merger Stock theretofore represented by such Company Share Certificate shall have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights; Transfer Books. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Company Share Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article 3 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of the Company Merger Stock theretofore represented by such Company Share Certificates. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further transfers of the shares of the Company Merger Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Share Certificates are presented to Parent or the Company, the presented Company Share Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged for shares of Parent Common Stock or other consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates evidencing shares of the Company Merger Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall pay to such holder the Merger Consideration required pursuant to Section 3.1, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof with such assurances as the Exchange Agent, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the Merger Consideration, may reasonably require of the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of such Party. Except as provided in this Agreement, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.
