SECTION 1. THE MERGER
1.1. Merger. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into SimplePons in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx LLP, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxx 000, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, a time and place mutually agreed upon by IFLI and SimplePons following satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to Closing (the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, a properly executed copy of the Certificate of Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A shall be filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective on the date and at the time that the Certificate of Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”).
1.3. Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Directors and Executive Officers. The Certificate of Incorporation of SimplePons, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “SimplePons Certificate of Incorporation”), shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Certificate of Incorporation”) from and after the Effective Time until further amended in accordance with applicable law. The Bylaws of SimplePons, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “SimplePons Bylaws”), shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Bylaws”) from and after the Effective Time until amended in accordance with applicable law. The directors and executive officers of SimplePons immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and executive officers of the Surviving Corporation, and each shall hold his respective office or offices from and after the Effective Time until his or her successor shall have been elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law, or as otherwise provided in the Surviving Corporation Certificate of Incorporation or the Surviving Corporation Bylaws.
1.4. Assets and Liabilities. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of a private nature, and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of the Merger Sub and SimplePons (collectively, the “Constituent Corporations”); and all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Constituent Corporations, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to any of the Constituent Corporations on whatever account, shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation; and all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest shall be thereafter the property of the Surviving Corporation as they were of the several and respective Constituent Corporations, and the title to any real estate vested by deed or otherwise in either of the Constituent Corporations shall not revert or be in any way impaired by the Merger; but all rights of creditors and all Liens upon any property of any of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it.

1.5. Manner and Basis of Converting Shares and Warrants. At the Closing each one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of SimplePons (the “SimplePons Common Stock”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Stockholders, be converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of IFLI (the “IFLI Common Stock”). At the Closing, the common stock purchase warrants of SimplePons set forth on Schedule A which are exercisable into an aggregate of 10,050,000 shares of SimplePons common stock (the “SimplePons Warrants”) shall be cancelled and IFLI shall issue identical warrants in IFLI (the “Exchange Warrants”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and in the amounts set forth on Schedule A. The Exchange Warrants shall be executed on IFLI’s behalf by Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxxx who will be named President of IFLI at Closing. The shares of IFLI Common Stock to be issued to the Stockholders will represent 97.8% of the outstanding capital stock of IFLI on a fully diluted basis, giving effect to the purchase of the IMS Shares (as that term is defined in Section 7.1(e) and the cancellation of such shares by IFLI, but giving no effect to the shares of IFLI Common Stock underlying the Exchange Warrants to be issued at Closing. All such shares of SimplePons Common Stock and SimplePons Warrants are held in uncertificated form and there shall be no obligation of any Stockholder to surrender or otherwise deliver a certificate or certificates representing either the shares of SimplePons Common Stock or SimplePons Warrants that are owned by such Stockholder immediately prior to the Closing in order to receive the shares of IFLI Common Stock and Exchange Warrants, if applicable, that such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive at the Closing as set forth on Schedule A.
1.6. Tax Matters. The Parties intend that the Merger qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code and that this Agreement be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2 of the Treasury Regulations. Each Party hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees (a) to use its respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a tax-free reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Code and not to take any actions that would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to not so qualify; (b) that this Agreement shall constitute a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 1.368-2 of the Treasury Regulations; (c) to report, act and file all tax returns in all respects for all purposes consistent with the transactions contemplated herein constituting a tax-free reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Code; and (d) that such Party has not taken, and will not take, any inconsistent position on any tax return or other report or return filed with or provided to any tax authority, or in any audit or administrative or judicial proceedings or otherwise, unless required to do so by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

(iv) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant will be made without charge to the Purchaser for any issuance tax in respect thereof or any other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and related transfer of the shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate or instrument in a name other than that of the Holder of this Warrant, and that the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate or instrument unless and until the person or persons requiring the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(v) Unless the Company shall have registered the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933. The Company may insert the following or similar legend on the face of the certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock if required in compliance with state securities laws:
“These securities have not been registered under any state securities laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under any applicable state securities laws, or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to counsel to the Company that an exemption from registration under any applicable state securities laws is available.” |
(C) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any fractional share interests or fractional warrant interests upon the exercise of this Warrant, nor shall it be obligated to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, provided, however, that if a holder exercises all the Warrants held of record by such holder, the Company shall at its option (i) eliminate the fractional interests by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares or (ii) within 30 days after the Exercise Date, deliver to the Purchaser a check payable to the Purchaser, in lieu of such fractional share, in an amount equal to the value of such fractional share as determined by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the principal exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then traded, as of the close of business on the Exercise Date.
2. Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale
(A) Recapitalization or Reclassification of Common Stock. In case the Company shall at any time prior to the satisfaction of the exercise of this Warrant, or the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever first occurs, effect a recapitalization or reclassification of such character that its Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to purchase upon exercise hereof shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in such number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such recapitalization or reclassification, and the Exercise Price of such recapitalized or reclassified Common Stock shall, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, be proportionately decreased and, in the case of a decrease in the number of shares, be proportionately increased.
2
(B) Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case the Company shall at any time prior to the exercise of this Warrant, or the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever first occurs, consolidate or merge with any other corporation (unless the Company shall be the surviving entity) or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation preparatory to a dissolution (collectively, the “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, provide notice to the Holder of not less than ten (10) of days prior to the closing and/or effective date of such Fundamental Transaction during which time the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant pursuant to its terms. To the extent not exercised, this Warrant and any right to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock will automatically expire on the closing date and/or effective date of such Fundamental Transaction.
(C) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as provided herein, the Company shall file with its corporate records a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth the computation and the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder resulting from such adjustments, and a copy of such certificate shall be mailed to the Holder. Any such certificate or letter shall be conclusive evidence as to the correctness of the adjustment or adjustments referred to therein and shall be available for inspection by the holders of the Warrants on any day during normal business hours.
3. Registration Rights. As soon as practicable after the Company has commenced operations it intends to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant so as to permit the public resale thereof. The Company will pay all costs associated with the registration statement and use its reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable. The ultimate timing of the filing of the registration statement is in the Company’s sole discretion.
4. Company’s Right to Call this Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, during the Exercise Period, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Holder (each, a “Call Notice”) if the Company’s Common Stock is currently quoted for trading in the over the counter market, following the period (i) in which the last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the on such over the counter market equals or exceeds $1.00 per share for five (5) consecutive trading days and (ii) there is an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants, the Company shall have the right to call any or all of the Warrant at a call price of $0.0001 per underlying share (the “Call Price”). Warrant holders shall have the period from the date of the Call Notice, which shall be delivered to the Holder pursuant to Section 8 hereof, until 5 p.m., Eastern time, on the thirtieth (30) day following the Call Notice (the “Call Date”) to exercise the Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof. Any Warrants which have been called but remain unexercised by the Call Date shall automatically terminate and no longer entitle the Holder to exercise such Warrant or to receive any consideration therefor, other than the Call Price. For any Warrants which are not exercised by the Call Date, the Company shall promptly as possible following the Call Date pay the Call Price to the Holder of any Warrants which have been called and not exercised.
3
5. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company will at all time reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant. Upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to its terms, the Holder will acquire fully paid and non-assessable ownership rights of the Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances except as otherwise provided herein.
6. No Stockholder Rights or Obligations. This Warrant will not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a Stockholder of the Company. Until the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are recorded as issued on the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent, the Holder shall not be entitled to any voting rights or other rights as a Stockholder; provided, however, the Company uses its best efforts to ensure that, upon receipt of the Exercise Agreement and payment of the Exercise Price, the appropriate documentation necessary to effectuate the exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of the Common Stock is accomplished as expeditiously as possible. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Common Stock, and no enumeration in this Warrant of the rights or privileges of the Holder, will give rise to any obligation of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the Company.
7. Transferability. Subject to the terms hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Assignment in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto at the principal offices of the Company. This Warrant and the underlying shares of Common Stock may not be offered, sold or transferred except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, and any applicable state securities laws, and then only against receipt of an agreement of the person to whom such offer or sale or transfer is made to comply with the provisions of this Warrant with respect to any resale or other disposition of such securities; provided that no such agreement shall be required from any person purchasing this Warrant or the underlying shares of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement effective under the Securities Act of 1933. The Holder of this Warrant agrees that, prior to the disposition of any security purchased on the exercise hereof other than pursuant to a registration statement then effective under the Securities Act of 1933, or any similar statute then in effect, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company, expressing his intention as to such disposition. Upon receiving such notice, the Company shall present a copy thereof to its securities counsel. If, in the sole opinion of such counsel, which such opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld, the proposed disposition does not require registration of such security under the Securities Act of 1933, or any similar statute then in effect, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to dispose of such security in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company.
