ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
Section
1.1. The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) and subject
to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement,
Target shall be merged with and into Acquiror, the separate corporate existence
of Target shall cease and Acquiror shall continue as the surviving corporation,
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the
“Nevada Law”). Acquiror, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is
hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”.
Section
1.2. Effective Time. As promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver
of the conditions set forth in Article VI, and provided that this Agreement has
not been terminated or abandoned pursuant to Article VIII, the Constituent
Corporations shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing an Articles of
Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) with the office of the Secretary of State of
the State of Nevada, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance
with, the relevant provisions of the Nevada Law. Subject to, and in accordance
with, the Nevada Law, the Merger will become effective at the date and time the
Articles of Merger are filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the
State of Nevada or such later time or date as may be specified in the Articles
of Merger (the “Effective Time”). Each of the parties shall use its best efforts
to cause the Merger to be consummated as soon as practicable following the
fulfillment or waiver of the conditions specified in Article VI
hereof.
Section
1.3. Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall
be as provided in the applicable provisions of the Nevada Law. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time,
except as otherwise provided herein, all the property, rights, privileges,
powers and franchises of Target shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all
debts, liabilities and duties of Target shall become the debts, liabilities and
duties of the Surviving Corporation.
Section
1.4. Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws.
(a) At
the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of Acquiror, as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation
of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law and
such Articles of Incorporation; provided, however, that the name of Acquiror
shall be changed to “ubroadcast, inc.”, as soon as is practicable following the
Effective Time.
(b) The
Bylaws of Acquiror, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall
be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided
by law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such
Bylaws.
Section
1.5. Directors and Officers. The board of directors of Acquiror immediately upon
the Effective Time shall be Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, each to hold
office in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Target immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in
each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and
qualified.
Section
1.6. Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger
and without any action on the part of Acquiror, the following shall
occur:
(a) Each
share of common stock of Target (the “Target Common Stock”) held in the treasury
of Target and each such share of Target Common Stock owned by Acquiror, Parent
or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or of Target
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished
without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect
thereto.
(b) Each
share of Target Common Stock which is outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time, other than those shares of Target Common Stock cancelled as set
forth in subsection (a) hereof, shall be converted into the right to receive
shares of the $.001 par value per share common stock of Parent (the “Parent
Common Stock”), as follows:
at the Effective Time, each
share of Target Common Stock shall be exchanged for 5.6231 shares of Parent
Common Stock, for a total of 80,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (these
shares of Parent Common Stock are referred to as the “Closing Shares”). The
Closing Shares are referred to as the “Merger Consideration”.
(c) Anti-Dilution
Adjustments. The number of shares included in the Merger Consideration (the
"Merger Shares") shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(i) In
case the Parent shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Parent
Common Stock in shares of its capital stock or other securities, (ii) subdivide
its outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
(iii) combine its outstanding Parent Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares or (iv) issue, by reclassification of its Parent Common Stock, shares of
its capital stock or other securities of the Parent (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which Parent is
the continuing corporation), the number of Merger Shares issuable to the
Shareholders immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Shareholders shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Merger Shares,
shares of Parent’s capital stock and other securities of Parent which such
holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately after
the happening of any of the events described above, had the Merger Shares been
issued to the Shareholders immediately prior to the happening of such event or
any record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of
such event.
(ii) In
case Parent shall issue rights, options, warrants or convertible securities to
holders of its Parent Common Stock, without any charge to such holders,
containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Parent Common Stock, the
number of Merger Shares thereafter issuable to the Shareholders shall be
determined by multiplying the number of Merger Shares theretofore issuable to
the Shareholders by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of
such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities plus the number of
additional shares of Parent Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase,
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Parent Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options,
warrants or convertible securities. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
rights, options, warrants or convertible securities are issued, and shall become
effective immediately upon issuance of such rights, options, warrants or
convertible securities.
(iii) In
case Parent shall distribute to holders of its Parent Common Stock evidences of
its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of
current earnings made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practices), then in each case the number of Merger Shares that have not yet been
issued to the Shareholders shall be determined by multiplying the number of
Merger Shares that have not yet been issued to the Shareholders by a fraction,
of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price (as defined below) on the
date of such distribution, and of which the denominator shall be such Market
Price on such date minus the then fair value (determined as provided in
subsection (d) below) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness
so distributed applicable to one share of Parent Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
on the date of distribution.
(iv) To
the extent not covered by subsections (b) or (c) hereof:
(A) In
case Parent shall sell or issue Parent Common Stock or rights, options, warrants
or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or
exchange into shares of Parent Common Stock at a price per share (determined, in
the case of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities, by
dividing (i) the total amount received or receivable by Parent in consideration
of the sale or issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible
securities, plus the total consideration payable to Parent upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares covered by
such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities) lower than $0.08 per
share, then the number of unissued Merger Shares shall thereafter be equal to
the sum of the number of unissued Merger Shares immediately prior to such sale
or issuance plus the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and rights,
options, warrants or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe
for, purchase or exchange into shares of Parent Common Stock sold or issued in
such issuance.
(B) In
case Parent shall sell or issue Parent Common Stock or rights, options, warrants
or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or
exchange into Parent Common Stock for a consideration consisting, in whole or in
part, of property other than cash or its equivalent, then, in determining the
"price per share" of Parent Common Stock and the "consideration received by
Parent" for purposes of the first sentence of this subsection (d), the Board of
Directors shall determine the fair value of said property, and such
determination, if based upon the Board of Directors, good faith business
judgment, shall be binding upon the Shareholders. In determining the "price per
share" of Parent Common Stock, any underwriting discounts or commissions paid to
brokers, dealers or other selling agents shall not be deducted from the price
received by Parent for sales of securities registered under the Securities Act
of 1933 or issued in a private placement.
(v) For
the purpose of this Section 1.6, the term "Parent Common Stock" shall mean (i)
the class of stock designated as the Parent Common Stock of parent at the date
of this Agreement or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive
changes or reclassifications of such Parent Common Stock consisting solely of
changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 1.6, a Shareholder shall become entitled to receive any
securities of Parent other than Parent Common Stock, (i) if the Shareholder’s
right to acquire is on any other basis than that available to all holders of
Parent Common Stock, Parent shall obtain an opinion of a reputable investment
banking firm valuing such other securities and (ii) thereafter the number of
such other securities so purchasable upon issuance of the Merger Consideration
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Parent
Common Stock contained in this Section 1.6.
(vi) Upon
any adjustment of the number of Merger Shares, then and in each such case,
Parent shall give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Shareholders as shown on the books of Parent, which notice
shall state the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares of Parent
Common Stock issuable to the Shareholders as Merger Shares, setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such
calculation is based.
(d) The
common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Acquiror issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
Section
1.7. Surrender of and Exchange of Target Common Stock.
(a) As
soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the stock certificates
representing Target Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time
(or affidavits of lost certificates in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent)
shall be surrendered for exchange to the Surviving Corporation. Until so
surrendered for exchange, each such stock certificate nominally representing
Target Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes (except for payment of
dividends thereon or redemption thereof) to evidence the ownership of the number
of shares of Parent Common Stock which the holder would be entitled to receive
upon its surrender to the Surviving Corporation.
(b) No
redemption with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be made with respect to any
unsurrendered certificates representing shares of Target Common Stock with
respect to which the shares of Parent Common Stock shall have been issued in the
Merger, until such certificates shall be surrendered as provided
herein.
(c) All
rights to receive the Merger Consideration into which shares of Target Common
Stock shall have been converted pursuant to this Article I shall be deemed to
have been paid or issued, as the case may be, in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such shares of Target Common Stock.
1.8.
Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall take place (a) at the offices of Target at 3:00 p.m., local
time, on the earlier of (i) January 23, 2009, or (ii) the third business day
immediately following the date on which the last of the conditions set forth in
Article VI is fulfilled or waived, or (b) at such other time and place and on
such other date as Parent and Target shall agree (the “Closing Date”).

consent of any party, issue a press release or otherwise make public statements
with respect to the Merger, should such press release or public statements be
deemed, in good faith, necessary by Parent to assure its compliance with
applicable securities laws.

Acquiror has received any notice of proceedings relating to revocation or
modification of any such franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits,
easements, consents, certificates, approvals or orders. The term “Material
Adverse Effect”, as used herein, means any change in or effect on the business

the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

has heretofore furnished to Target a complete and correct copy of any amendments
or modifications, which have not yet been filed with the SEC, to agreements,

Section

indemnification under this Article VII (the “Indemnified Party”) has received
notice of or has knowledge of any claim against the Indemnified Party by a
person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Person”) or the commencement of
any action or proceeding by a Third Person, it shall give the other party
(“Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such
action or proceeding; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified
Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party
from any obligation hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, the
Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall state the nature and
the basis of such claim and a reasonable estimate of the Damages.
The
Indemnifying Party shall have right to defend, at its own expense and by its own
counsel, any such matter so long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same in

settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do

requested by the Indemnifying Party that are in the Indemnified Party=s
possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to participate in any matter through counsel of its own
choosing at its own expense (unless there is a conflict of interest that
prevents counsel for the Indemnifying Party from representing the Indemnified
Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party
for the expenses of its counsel). After the Indemnifying Party has notified the
Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such
asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues
such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional
legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense
or settlement of such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party does not
undertake to defend such matter to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification hereunder, or fails to diligently pursue such defense, the
Indemnified Party may undertake such defense through counsel of its choice, at
the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party may
settle such matter, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified
Party for the amount paid in such settlement and any other liabilities or
expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. No party
hereto, without the prior written consent of the other, shall settle, compromise
or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or
threatened Claim unless the settlement, compromise or consent (i) provides for
and includes an express, unconditional release of all Indemnified Parties and
Indemnifying Parties from all liabilities, claims, demands, actions and
obligations in connection therewith and (ii) does not provide for any relief
other than monetary relief.
