ARTICLE 2
EXCHANGE OF SHARES AND ACQUISITION CONSIDERATION
2.1 Share Exchange. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with any and all applicable state Laws, the Shareholder(s) will transfer, assign, convey, and set over unto ICOR, and ICOR will receive and accept from the Shareholder(s), all of the issued and outstanding shares of SRG owned by the Shareholder(s), which constitutes 100% of the ownership interest in SRG, free and clear of any Lien, in exchange for the Acquisition Consideration, as defined in Recital F. The Acquisition Consideration will automatically convert into that number of shares of common stock of ICOR that equals 80% of the then outstanding common stock of ICOR immediately after a reverse split of the outstanding common stock of ICOR, which split is expected to be effective within 60 days of the Closing. However, in the event there are additional shares of common or preferred stock, or instruments convertible into common or preferred stock, issued by ICOR post-closing and before the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the Acquisition Consideration will be reduced from 80% upon conversion into that number of shares of common stock after accounting for dilution caused by the new issuance, pro rata with all other shareholders of ICOR.
2.2 Section 368 Reorganization. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the exchange of SRG Shares for Shares for ICOR's Series C Preferred Stock is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code. The parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that no party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of the exchange as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated prior to the Closing has or may have on any such reorganization status. The parties acknowledge and agree that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes including without limitation, any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not determined to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.

The ADS™ methodology employs a unique approach for assessing sleepiness and low alertness levels via the observed behavior of operators in real work conditions. Pursuant to its rights under the above agreement, SRG will acquire the ADS Software as soon as practicable after Closing. SRG acknowledges that SRG’s ownership of the ADS Software, or right to ownership, is a material reason why ICOR is entering into this Agreement.
2.6 Committed Financing. SRG has an irrevocable, enforceable commitment from several private investors to invest at least $2,500,000 in ICOR immediately following the Closing, which SRG will cause ICOR to close immediately following the Closing (the “Committed Financing”).

6.15 Employees.
6.15.1 Except as set forth on Schedule 6.15.1, ICOR has no employees, independent contractors or other Persons providing research or other services to them. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, ICOR is in full compliance with all Laws regarding employment, wages, hours, benefits, equal opportunity, collective bargaining, the payment of Social Security and other taxes, occupational safety and health and plant closing. ICOR is liable for the payment of any compensation, damages, taxes, fines, penalties or other amounts, however designated, for failure to comply with any of the foregoing Laws for any amounts earned or accrued prior to Closing.
6.15.2 No director, officer or employee of ICOR is a party to, or is otherwise bound by, any contract (including any confidentiality, noncompetition or proprietary rights agreement) with any other Person that in any way adversely affects or will materially affect (a) the performance of his or her duties as a director, officer or employee of ICOR or (b) the ability of ICOR to conduct its business.

6.16.1 Tax Returns and Liabilities. ICOR has not filed any state or federal income taxes for 2010, 2011 and 2012 but has paid the State of Delaware franchise taxes for 2010 and 2011, with 2012 not being due yet. As of Closing, there shall be no taxes of any kind due, but 2012 State of Delaware will be owed in 2013. ICOR agree to assist the Shareholders with the preparation of ICOR’s tax returns by providing any information reasonably needed by the preparer of the tax returns. There are no Liens or known material liabilities with respect to Taxes on ICOR's property or assets other than Permitted Liens; and there are no Tax rulings, requests for rulings, or closing agreements relating to ICOR for any period (or portion of a period) that would affect any period after the date hereof. ICOR has suffered losses and no taxes are due. ICOR’s current management, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx have been classified by ICOR as independent contractors and not employees. If this categorization was challenged and Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx and/or Xx. Xxxxxxxx were considered employees it could result in taxes, penalties and interest being due to the IRS and the State of New Jersey. However, due to the fact Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxxxxx were only compensated nominal amounts in 2011 and nothing in 2010 or 2012, ICOR believes that were such a finding to occur the penalties and/or interest would be minimal.
6.16.2 No Adjustments, Changes.

In the event of any such Proceeding (whether arising before or after the Closing Date), (i) any counsel retained by the Indemnified Parties for any period after the Closing Date shall be reasonably satisfactory to ICOR, (ii) after the Closing Date, ICOR shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, promptly after statements therefore are received, provided that the Indemnified Parties shall be required to reimburse ICOR for such payments in the circumstances and to the extent required by ICOR's Organizational Documents, any applicable contract or agreement or applicable Law, and (iii) ICOR will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, however, that ICOR shall not 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 within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until the disposition of any and all such claims.

13.8 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter.
