Exhibit 2.08
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this "AGREEMENT") is entered into as
of March 31, 2004 by and between KH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("KH LLC"), Knight Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("MERGER SUB"), and
Celerity Group, Inc., formerly Kinetics Holdings Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("KHC"). KHC and Merger Sub are hereinafter sometimes collectively
referred to as the "CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS".
RECITALS
A. KHC was incorporated on October 22, 1999. Its current authorized
capital stock consists of: (i) 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par
value per share ("KHC COMMON STOCK"); and (ii) one hundred twenty million
(120,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, thirty
million one hundred seventy-eight thousand eight hundred eighty-six (30,178,886)
of which are designated as "SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK," thirty million one
hundred seventy-eight thousand eight hundred eighty-six (30,178,886) of which
are designated as "SERIES A-1 PREFERRED STOCK", twenty million (20,000,000) of
which are designated "SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK," twenty million (20,000,000) of
which are designated "SERIES B-1 PREFERRED STOCK" (the KHC Common Stock, the
Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred
Stock and the Series B-1 Preferred Stock being collectively referred to as the
"KHC CAPITAL STOCK") and nineteen million six hundred forty-two thousand two
hundred twenty-eight (19,642,228) of which are undesignated. A total of
93,449,395 shares of KHC Common Stock, 856,951 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, 24,162,189 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, no shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, and 16,276,747 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock are issued
and outstanding as of the date of the Agreement.
B. The Certificate of Formation of KH LLC was filed on March 5, 2004. A
copy of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of KH LLC as adopted on March 5,
2004 by KH LLC's sole member manager (the "MEMBER MANAGER") is attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the "ORIGINAL LLC AGREEMENT").
C. Merger Sub was incorporated on March 5, 2004. Its current authorized
capital stock consists of 100 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share,
of which one share is issued and outstanding. KH LLC is the sole stockholder of
Merger Sub.
D. In order to facilitate the restructuring of KHC which is designed to
achieve numerous bona fide business purposes (the "RESTRUCTURING"), subject to
Section 2.7 the stockholders of KHC have agreed to contribute their capital
stock of KHC to KH LLC pursuant to this Agreement in exchange for limited
liability company interests in KH LLC having the rights and obligations
described in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "NEW LLC AGREEMENT", and the limited liability
interests described therein, the "LLC UNITS"). The temporary and limited
existence of Merger Sub is designed to facilitate the exchange of the
outstanding capital stock of KHC for LLC Units. It is the intention of KH LLC
and KHC that this transaction qualify as a nonrecognition exchange under Section
721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE").
E. Also to facilitate the Restructuring, (i) the warrantholders of KHC
have agreed to contribute their warrants to acquire capital stock of KHC to KH
LLC in return for LLC Units in a nonrecognition exchange under Section 721 of
the Code pursuant to the terms of those certain exchange agreements, dated the
date hereof (the "WARRANT EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS"), (ii) United
1
States Filter Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("USF") has agreed to
contribute KHC's 11% Junior Subordinated Notes to KH LLC in return for LLC Units
in a nonrecognition exchange under Section 721 of the Code pursuant to the terms
of that certain exchange agreement dated the date hereof (the "USF EXCHANGE
AGREEMENT"), (iii) the holders of KHC's 15% Convertible Senior Subordinated
Notes have agreed to contribute such notes to KH LLC in return for LLC Units in
a nonrecognition exchange under Section 721 of the Code pursuant to the terms of
that certain exchange agreement dated the date hereof (the "CAPITAL CALL
EXCHANGE AGREEMENT") and (iv) holders of KSI 12.5% Junior Subordinated Notes and
KH LLC have entered into an exchange option agreement dated the date hereof (the
"BRIDGE NOTE EXCHANGE OPTION AGREEMENT") pursuant to which the holders of such
notes have the option to contribute such notes to KH LLC in exchange for LLC
Units in one or more nonrecognition exchanges under Section 721 of the Code.
F. The parties hereto note that it is an integral part of the
Restructuring that KHC, Kinetics Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of KHC ("KGI"), and Kinetics Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of KHC ("KSI"), enter into
agreements with KGI's senior bank lenders, the holders of KGI's Senior Secured
Notes and the holders of KGI's Senior Subordinated Notes (collectively, the
"LENDERS"), to restructure their loans to KHC, KGI and KSI.
G. The respective Boards of Directors of KHC and Merger Sub deem it
advisable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders that Merger
Sub merge with and into KHC, with KHC being the surviving corporation, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
H. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger (as defined below), subject to
Section 2.7 all of the outstanding capital stock of KHC will be converted into
LLC Units, and the parties hereto shall treat such conversion for all tax
purposes as if all the outstanding capital stock of KHC were contributed to KH
LLC in exchange for LLC Units.
I. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, employee stock options to
purchase common stock of KHC shall remain options to purchase common stock of
KHC and such options shall be adjusted to reflect the Restructuring but shall
not be assumed by KH LLC.
J. Certain officers and directors of KHC have agreed to contribute
their options to acquire common stock of KHC to KH LLC in return for LLC Units
in a nonrecognition exchange under Section 721 of the Code pursuant to the terms
of those certain exchange agreements, dated the date hereof (the "OPTION
EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS").
K. The Boards of Directors of KHC and Merger Sub have approved and
adopted this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby adopt the plan of reorganization
set forth in this Agreement and do hereby agree that Merger Sub shall merge with
and into KHC on the following terms, conditions and other provisions:

rights with respect to such KHC Capital Stock except, upon surrender of the
certificates representing such shares pursuant to this Section 2.6, the right to

formerly representing shares of KHC Capital Stock (a) a letter of transmittal in

distributions payable from time to time in respect of the LLC Units issued to
such holder in the Merger and such record holder shall be admitted as a Member

surrenders such certificate in accordance with this Section 2.6 (at which time
such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable escheat or
similar laws, to receive all such distributions without interest). Neither KH
LLC nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder
of capital stock of KHC for any LLC Units (or dividends or distributions with
respect thereto), or for any cash amounts, delivered to any public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
2.7 DISSENTING SHARES. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4,
if, in connection with the Merger, holders of KHC Capital Stock ("KHC
STOCKHOLDERS") are entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to the DGCL, any shares
of KHC Capital Stock held by KHC Stockholders who exercise and perfect such
appraisal rights ("DISSENTING SHARES") shall not be converted into LLC Units as
provided in Section 2.4, but shall be converted into the right to receive such
consideration from KHC as may be determined to be due with respect to such
Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL. In the event that any Dissenting Share
loses its status as such, whether because a KHC Stockholder fails to make an
effective demand for payment or fails to perfect his appraisal rights in respect
of such Dissenting Share or otherwise, such Dissenting Share shall be converted
into the right to receive the consideration set forth in Section 2.4, and the
record holder of such Dissenting Share shall be entitled to be admitted as a
Member of KH LLC in accordance with Section 2.4(a).
2.8 COMPANY OPTIONS NOT ASSUMED. Options issued pursuant to (a) the KHC
2000 Stock Option Plan, (b) the KHC 2002 Stock Option Plan B, or (c) any
outstanding KHC employee stock options, shall not be assumed by KH LLC and shall
remain options to purchase KHC Capital Stock.
2.9 FRACTIONAL UNITS. Fractional LLC Units shall not be issued and 0.5
units or more or more shall be rounded up and less than 0.5 of a unit shall be
rounded down.
2.10 LOST CERTIFICATES. If any certificate representing KHC Capital
Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit
of that fact by the respective stockholder claiming such certificate to be lost,
stolen or destroyed, and if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting
by such stockholder of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving
Corporation may require as indemnity against such claim that may be made against
it with respect to such certificate, the holder of such missing, lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate shall be entitled to receive any distribution payable from
time to time in respect of the LLC Units issued to such holder in the Merger.
2.11 TAX CHARACTERIZATION OF MERGER. The exchanges of KHC Capital Stock
for LLC Units pursuant to the Merger are intended to be characterized for United
States federal income tax purposes as contributions of property to a partnership
in exchange for an interest in the partnership as described in Section 721 of
the Code, and no party hereto shall take any position inconsistent with such
treatment.
5
2.12 TAX CHARACTERIZATION OF RELATED EXCHANGES. The transactions
contemplated by the Warrant Exchange Agreements, the USF Exchange Agreement, the
Capital Call Exchange Agreement, Bridge Note Exchange Option Agreement, the
Option Exchange Agreements and related agreements involving the transfer of
property to KH LLC and the issuance of LLC Units, are all intended by the
parties hereto to be characterized for United States federal income tax purposes
as contributions of property to a partnership in exchange for interests in the
partnership as described in Section 721 of the Code, and, no party hereto will
take any position inconsistent with such treatment.

THE MERGER OR BY NOT EXERCISING APPRAISAL RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO KHC CAPITAL
STOCK PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.7, AS WELL AS BY ACCEPTING LLC UNIT(S) IN THE
