MERGER
SUB, STANDARD DRILLING or the holders of any of the securities of
any of
these corporations, each of the following shall occur:
|
||
(1) |
Each
share of STANDARD DRILLING Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Date shall be converted into one (1) share
of OHI
Common Stock. All such shares of STANDARD DRILLING Common Stock shall
no
longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall

shall
thereafter represent the right to receive, upon the surrender of
such
certificate in accordance with the provisions hereof, certificates
evidencing such number of shares of OHI Common Stock, respectively,
into
which such shares of STANDARD DRILLING Common Stock were converted.
The
holders of such certificates previously evidencing shares of STANDARD
DRILLING Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Date
shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of STANDARD
DRILLING Common Stock except as otherwise provided herein or by
law;
|
||
(2) |
Any
shares of capital stock of STANDARD DRILLING held in STANDARD DRILLING’s
treasury immediately prior to the Effective Date shall automatically
be
canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment
shall be made with respect thereto;
|
||
(3) |
Each
share of capital stock of MERGER SUB issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Date shall remain in existence as one (1)
share of
common stock of the Surviving Corporation, which shall be owned by
OHI;
|
||
(c) | Other Matters. | ||
(1) |
Upon
the effectiveness of the Merger, each outstanding option, warrant

|

(d) |
Delivery
of Shares. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date,
STANDARD DRILLING will use reasonable efforts to cause all holders
of
STANDARD DRILLING Common Stock (collectively, the “STANDARD DRILLING
Stockholders”) to surrender to OHI for cancellation certificates
representing their shares of STANDARD DRILLING Common Stock against
delivery of certificates representing the shares of OHI Common Stock
for
which the shares of STANDARD DRILLING Common Stock are to be converted
in
the Merger. Until surrendered and exchanged as herein provided, each
outstanding certificate which, prior to the Effective Date, represented
STANDARD DRILLING Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate
purposes
to evidence ownership of the same number of shares of OHI Common
Stock
into which the shares of STANDARD DRILLING Common Stock represented
by
such STANDARD DRILLING certificate shall have been so converted.
No
dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to
OHI
Common Stock after the Effective Date will be paid to the holder
of any
certificate that prior to the Effective Date evidenced shares of
STANDARD
DRILLING Common Stock until the holder of such certificate surrenders
or
exchanges such certificate as herein provided. Subject to the effect
of
any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, following
surrender of any such certificate, there will be paid to the holder
of the
certificates evidencing shares of OHI Common Stock issued in exchange
therefor, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Date theretofore
paid
with respect to such shares of OHI Common Stock and (ii) at the
appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions,
with a record date after the Effective Date but prior to the surrender
and
a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to
such
shares of OHI Common Stock less any withholding taxes which are required
thereon. No party hereto will be liable to any former holder of STANDARD
DRILLING Common Stock for any OHI Common Stock or dividends or
distributions thereon in each case delivered to a public official
pursuant
to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. In
the event
any certificate representing STANDARD DRILLING Common Stock shall
have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of
that
fact by the holder of STANDARD DRILLING Common Stock claiming such
certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement by such
holder to indemnify and hold harmless OHI and the Surviving Corporation
against any claim that may be made against them with respect to such
certificate, OHI will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or
destroyed
certificate OHI Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant
to
this Agreement.
