The Merger

SECTION 2.01 The Merger. At Closing, the Acquirer shall be merged with and into the Company pursuant to this Agreement and the separate corporate existence of the Acquirer shall cease and the Company, as it exists from and after the Closing, shall be the Surviving Company.

SECTION 2.02 Effect of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effect provided therefore by the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at Closing (i) all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, of a public as well as of a private nature, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due on whatever account, including without limitation subscriptions to shares, and all other choices in action, and all and every other interest of or belonging to or due to the Company or the Acquirer, as a group, subject to the terms hereof, shall be taken and deemed to be transferred to, and vested in, the Surviving Company without further act or deed; and all property, rights and privileges, immunities, powers and franchises and all and every other interest shall be thereafter as effectually the property of the Surviving Company, as they were of the Company and the Acquirer, as a group, and (ii) all debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Company and the Acquirer, as a group, subject to the terms hereof, shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company and the Surviving Company shall thenceforth be responsible and liable for all debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Company and the Acquirer, as a group, and neither the rights of creditors nor any liens upon the property of Company or the Acquirer, as a group, shall be impaired by the Merger, and may be enforced against the Surviving Company.

SECTION 2.03 Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws; Directors and Officers. The Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Company from and after the Closing shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Closing until thereafter amended in accordance with the provisions therein and as provided by the applicable provisions of the NRS. The Bylaws of the Surviving Company from and after the Closing shall be the Bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, continuing until thereafter amended in accordance with their terms, the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Company and as provided by the NRS. The Parent shall take all required actions so that immediately after the Closing, the board of directors of the Company shall consist of the individuals set forth on Schedule 2.03(a). The Parent shall take all required actions so that immediately after the Closing the officers and directors of the Parent shall consist of the individuals set forth on Schedule 2.03(b), holding the respective office(s) set forth next to their respective names.

SECTION 2.04 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Acquirer or the Company, the outstanding securities of the Company and the Acquirer shall be converted as follows:

(a)

Reserved.

	(b)	Conversion of Company Shares. Each Company Share that is issued and outstanding at the Effective Time, set forth on Schedule A, shall automatically be cancelled and extinguished and converted, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into the right to receive Acquisition Shares. The total number of Parent Common Shares on a fully diluted basis that the Company Shareholders will receive is 70,000,000, which shall equal not less than 70.0% of the Parent’s total outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis as of the Closing, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company. Such calculation is based on the Parent’s convertible debt converting at $0.80 per share and the Company acknowledges that if the market price is less than $0.80 per share it will convert at such lower market price subject to a floor of $0.40 per share which would result in the Parent having up to an additional 2,479,935 shares outstanding. Company Shareholders will receive their proportional interest in the Acquisition Shares as set forth on Schedule A. All such Company Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Acquisition Shares paid in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with this Agreement.

	(c)	Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. Each Company Preferred Share that is outstanding, at the Effective Time, as set forth on Schedule A, shall automatically be cancelled and extinguished and converted, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into the right to receive Acquisition Shares in the amounts set forth on Schedule A. All such Company Preferred Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Company Shareholder who is entitled to receive more than 2.49% of the Parent’s Common Stock may instead receive up to all of such Common Stock in the form of the Parent’s Series C Preferred Stock as set forth on Schedule A.

	(d)	Conversion of existing Convertible Notes of the Company. At the Effective Time, all of the Company’s existing outstanding debt (“Company Debt”), consisting of the convertible notes set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall have been cancelled and converted into Acquisition Shares as set forth on Schedule A and as of the Closing, the Company shall not have any outstanding Company Debt. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each holder of Company Debt who is entitled to receive more than 2.49% of the Parent’s Common Stock may instead receive shares of the Parent’s Series C Preferred Stock by giving written notice to the Parent of such election prior to the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 3

Section 3.04 No Conflicts; Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance with the terms hereof and thereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any lien, security interest, pledge, equities or claims of any kind, voting trusts or other encumbrances (collectively “Liens”) upon any of the properties or assets of the Company under any provision of (i) the Company Charter Documents, (ii) any material contract, lease, license, indenture, note, bond, agreement, permit, concession, franchise or other instrument (a “Contract”) to which the Company is a party or by which any of its respective properties or assets is bound or (iii) any material judgment, order or decree (“Judgment”) or material statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, or decrees (collectively, “Laws”) applicable to the Company or its properties or assets.

All Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns, or otherwise owed, have been timely paid, except to the extent that any failure to pay, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

(b) If applicable, the Company has established an adequate reserve reflected on its financial statements for all Taxes payable by the Company (in addition to any reserve for deferred Taxes to reflect timing differences between book and Tax items) for all Taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements.
