D. IGAM
and
NUVO propose to enter into this Agreement which provides among other things,

in
exchange for an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of IGAM Series A Convertible

approximately 66 2/3 % of the issued and outstanding number of shares of
IGAM
Common Stock immediately following the Effective Time (as defined in Section
2.01), on a fully diluted basis.
E. The
parties desire the transaction to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under
Section 368 (a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE
1
THE
ACQUISITION
1.01 At
the
Effective Time (as defined in Article
2),
subject to the terms and conditions herein, each share of NUVO Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than
Dissenting Shares, as defined in Section 1.04) shall be acquired by IGAM
in
exchange for a fraction of a fully paid and nonassessable share of IGAM
Preferred Stock equal to (i) 1,000,000, divided by (ii) the number of issued
and
outstanding shares of NUVO Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, immediately
prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) (the “Exchange
Ratio”). Collectively, the shares of IGAM Preferred Stock issued to the
Shareholders shall be referred to herein as the “IGAM Shares”, and the exchange
of all shares of NUVO Common Stock for IGAM Shares shall constitute the
“Exchange”. IGAM Shares shall be issued as set forth in Exhibit
A
to this
Agreement.
1
1.02 Each
share of IGAM Preferred Stock shall, upon receipt of Shareholder Approval
(as
defined in Section 9.01), automatically convert into the number of shares
of
IGAM Common Stock equal to a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is equal
to
the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of IGAM Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, on a fully diluted
basis, multiplied by (B) two (2), and (ii) the denominator of which shall
be
1,000,000 (the “Conversion Ratio”),
rounded
to the nearest whole share;
provided
that,
for
purposes of determining the number of fully diluted shares of IGAM Common
Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the parties
agree that the number of shares of IGAM Common Stock shall include the number
of
shares IGAM Common Stock into which the Convertible Debt of IGAM (as defined
in
Section 8.01(i)) is convertible, as determined assuming a conversion price
equal
to 75% of the lowest closing price of the IGAM Common Stock (as reported
by
Bloomberg, LP) over the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Effective
Date
(as defined in Article 2). The number of shares of IGAM Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the IGAM Shares shall be identified on Exhibit
A
to this
Agreement.
1.03 As
of the
Effective Time, each outstanding stock certificate that immediately prior
to the
Effective Time represented shares of NUVO Common Stock shall be deemed for
all
purposes to evidence ownership and to represent the number of shares of IGAM
Preferred Stock for which such shares of NUVO Common Stock have been exchanged
pursuant to Section 1.01.
The
record holder of each outstanding certificate representing shares of NUVO
Common
Stock shall, after the Effective Time, be entitled to vote the shares of
IGAM
Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis assuming the conversion of all
shares
of IGAM Preferred Stock into shares of IGAM Common Stock) for which such
shares
of NUVO Common Stock have been exchanged on any matters on which the holders
of
IGAM Common Stock are entitled to vote. After the Effective Time, the holders
of
certificates evidencing outstanding shares of NUVO Common Stock immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall deliver such certificates of NUVO Common
Stock, duly endorsed so as to make IGAM the sole holder thereof, free and
clear
of all claims, and encumbrances and upon receipt of such
certificates, IGAM
shall deliver a transmittal letter directed to the transfer agent of IGAM
directing the issuance of the IGAM Shares to the Shareholders as set forth
on
Exhibit
A
of this
Agreement. Any shares of IGAM Preferred Stock (and IGAM Common Stock issued
upon
conversion thereof) issued pursuant to this Agreement will not be transferable
except (a) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act or (b) upon receipt by IGAM of a written opinion of counsel for the holder
reasonably satisfactory to IGAM to the effect that the proposed transfer
is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended, and relevant state securities laws. Restrictive legends shall be
placed
on all certificates representing IGAM Common stock issued pursuant to this
Agreement as set forth in Section 12.02.
In
the
event any certificate for NUVO Common Stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed,
IGAM shall issue and pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificate, promptly following its receipt of an affidavit of that fact
by the
holder thereof, such shares of IGAM Common Stock as may be required pursuant
to
this Agreement; provided that, such holder shall be required to provide to
IGAM
an executed indemnification agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to
IGAM,
whereby such holder indemnifies IGAM against any loss or liability relating
to
IGAM’s issuance of certificates pursuant to this paragraph.
1.04 Shares
of
NUVO common stock held by the stockholders of NUVO who have properly exercised
and preserved appraisal rights with respect to those shares in accordance
with
Title 7, Article 113 of the Colorado Statutes (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall
not be exchanged for or represent a right to receive shares of IGAM Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section 1.01 above, but the holders thereof shall be entitled
only to such rights as are granted by Title 7, Article 113 of the Colorado
Statutes. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment
for
such shares pursuant to Title 7, Article 113 shall receive payment therefor
from
NUVO in accordance with such laws; provided that, if any such holder of
Dissenting Shares shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s demand
for appraisal and payment for such shares, such holder
2
shall
forfeit the right of appraisal of such share and such Dissenting Shares shall
be
exchanged for shares of IGAM Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms
of
Section 1.01.
1.05 Following
the Effective Time, NUVO will be a wholly owned subsidiary of IGAM.

(a) Between
the date hereof and the Closing Date, IGAM and NUVO shall afford to the other
party and their authorized representatives the opportunity to conduct and
complete a due diligence investigation of the other party as described herein.
In light of the foregoing, each party shall permit the other party full access
on reasonable notice and at reasonable hours to its properties and shall
disclose and make available (together with the right to copy) to the other
party
and its officers, employees, attorneys, accountants and other representatives
(hereinafter collectively referred to as “Representatives”), all books, papers,
and records relating to the assets, stock, properties, operations, obligations
and liabilities of such party and its subsidiaries, including, without
limitation, all books of account (including, without limitation, the general

any
regulatory authority, accountants’ work papers, litigation files (including,
without limitation, legal research memoranda), attorney’s audit response
letters, documents relating to assets and title thereto (including, without
limitation, abstracts, title insurance policies, surveys, environmental reports,
opinions of title and other information relating to the real and personal
property), plans affecting employees, securities transfer records and
stockholder lists, and any books, papers and records (collectively referred
to
herein as “Evaluation Material”) relating to other assets or business activities
in which such party may have a reasonable interest, and otherwise provide
such
assistance as is reasonably requested in order that each party may have a
full
opportunity to make such investigation and evaluation as it shall reasonably
desire to make of the business and affairs of the other party; provided,
however, that the foregoing rights granted to each party shall, whether or
not
and regardless
16
of
the
extent to which the same are exercised, in no way affect the nature or scope
of
the representations, warranties and covenants of the respective party set
forth
herein. In addition, each party and its Representatives shall cooperate fully
(including providing introductions, where necessary) with such other party
to
enable the party to contact third parties, including customers, prospective
customers, specified agencies or others as the party deems reasonably necessary
to complete its due diligence; provided that such party agrees not to initiate
such contacts without the prior approval of the other party, which approval
will
not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) IGAM
and
NUVO agree that each such party will not use the Evaluation Material for
any
purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder.
Each agrees not to disclose or allow disclosure to others of any Evaluation
Material, except to such party’s affiliates or Representatives, in each case, to
the extent necessary to permit such affiliate or Representative to assist
such
party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder. Each agrees
that it will, within ten (10) days of the other party’s request, re-deliver to
such party all copies of that party’s Evaluation Material in its possession or
that of its affiliates or Representatives if the Exchange contemplated by
this
Agreement does not close as contemplated herein.
(c) In
the
event any party or anyone to whom Evaluation Material has been transmitted
in
accordance with the terms herein is requested in connection with any proceeding
to disclose any Evaluation Material, such party will give the other party
prompt
notice of such request so that the other party may seek an appropriate
protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Agreement,
and
such party will cooperate with the other party to obtain such protective
order.
In the event such protective order is not obtained, the other party waives
compliance with the relevant provisions of this Section, such party (or such
person to whom such request is directed) will furnish only that portion of
the
Evaluation Material which is required to be disclosed.
(d) Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, if prior to Closing, for any reason, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, neither IGAM nor NUVO
nor
any of their Representatives shall disclose to third parties or otherwise
use
any Evaluation Material or other confidential information received from the
other party in the course of investigating, negotiating, and performing the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing
shall be deemed to be confidential information which:
(i)
|
is
or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result
of a
disclosure by such party, its affiliates or
Representatives;
|
(ii)
|
was
available to such party on a non-confidential basis prior to its
disclosure;
|
(iii)
|
becomes
available to such party on a non-confidential basis from a source
other

|
(iv)
|
developed
by such party independently of any disclosure by the other party;
or
|
(v)
|
is
disclosed in compliance with Section 7.01(c).
|
This
provision shall not prohibit the disclosure of information required to be
made
under federal or state securities laws. If any disclosure is so required,
the
party making such disclosure shall consult with the other party prior to
making
such disclosure, and the parties shall use all reasonable efforts, acting
in
good faith, to agree upon a text for such disclosure which is satisfactory
to
both parties.
17
7.02 IGAM
and
NUVO each agree that money damages would not be sufficient to remedy any
breach
by the other party of this Section, and that, in addition to all other remedies,
each party against which a breach of this Section has been committed shall
be
entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief
as a
remedy of such breach.
