12.6 Closing of the Blink Technologies’ Transfer Books. At the Closing Date: (a) all shares of Blink Technologies common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and all holders of certificates representing shares of Blink Technologies common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of Blink Technologies; and (b) the stock transfer books of Blink Technologies shall be closed with respect to all shares of Blink Technologies common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date. No further transfer of any such shares of Blink Technologies common stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Closing Date.

12.7 Exchange of Certificates.
a. Prior to the Closing Date, ePunk shall select a reputable attorney, transfer agent, bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Blink Technologies to act as payment and exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). ePunk shall deposit with the Exchange Agent certificates representing the shares of ePunk common stock issuable pursuant to the provisions herein. The shares of ePunk common stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares of ePunk common stock, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”
b. As promptly as practicable, the Exchange Agent will mail to the Persons who were record holders of Blink Technologies stock Certificates immediately prior to the Closing Date: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as EPunk may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Blink Technologies stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Blink Technologies stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Blink Technologies stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Blink Technologies Stock Certificates in exchange for certificates representing ePunk common stock. Upon surrender of a Blink Technologies stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or ePunk: (A) the holder of such Blink Technologies stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, a certificate representing the number of whole shares of EPunk common stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of herein; and (B) the Blink Technologies stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section, each Blink Technologies stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Closing Date, to represent only the right to receive shares of ePunk common stock pursuant to the provisions herein. If any Blink Technologies stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, ePunk may, in its discretion and as a condition to the issuance
28
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION
BY AND AMONG
EPUNK INC.
AND
BLINK TECHNOLOGIES INC
of any certificate representing ePunk Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Blink Technologies stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as ePunk may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent with respect to such Blink Technologies stock Certificate.
c. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to ePunk Common Stock with a record date after the Closing Date shall be paid or otherwise delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered Blink Technologies stock Certificate with respect to the shares of ePunk Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Blink Technologies stock Certificate in accordance with this Section (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).
d. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Blink Technologies stock Certificates as of the date 180 days after the date on which the Merger becomes effective shall be delivered to ePunk upon demand, and any holders of Blink Technologies stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Blink Technologies stock Certificates in accordance with this Section shall thereafter look only to ePunk for satisfaction of their claims for shares of ePunk Common Stock pursuant to the provisions herein and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of ePunk Common Stock.
e. Each of the Exchange Agent and ePunk shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Blink Technologies common stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
f. The Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to any holder or former holder of Blink Technologies common stock or to any other Person with respect to any shares of ePunk common stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or for any cash amounts, delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or other similar Legal Requirement.
12.8 Tax Consequences. For federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and the parties will report the Merger as such for federal, state and local income tax purposes. None of the Parties will knowingly take any action, or fail to take any action, which action or failure to act would cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The parties to this Agreement 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.
