NOW
THEREFORE,
for the
mutual consideration set out herein, and other good and valuable consideration,
the sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree
as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Plan
of Reorganization.
The
parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that VGS Sub shall be merged with
and
into Xxxxxx upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in accordance
with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. It is the intention
of the parties hereto that this transaction qualify as a tax-free reorganization
under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
related sections thereunder.
2. Terms
of Merger.
In
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the requirements of
applicable law, VGS Sub shall be merged with and into Xxxxxx as of the Effective
Date (the terms "Closing"
and
"Effective
Date"
are
defined in Section 6 hereof). Xxxxxx shall be the Surviving Corporation and
the
separate existence of VGS Sub shall cease when the Merger shall become
effective. Consummation of the Merger shall be upon the following terms and
subject to the conditions set forth herein:
(a) Corporate
Existence.
(1) Commencing
with the Effective Date, the Surviving Corporation shall continue its corporate
existence as a Delaware corporation and (i) it shall thereupon and thereafter
possess all rights, privileges, powers, franchises and property (real, personal
and mixed) of each of the Constituent Corporations; (ii) all debts due to either
of the Constituent Corporations, on whatever account, all causes in action
and
all other things belonging to either of the Constituent Corporations shall
be
taken and deemed to be transferred to and shall be vested in the Surviving
Corporation by virtue of the Merger without further act or deed; and (iii)
all
rights of creditors and all liens, if any, upon any property of any of the
Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, limited in lien to
the
property affected by such liens immediately prior to the Effective Date, and
all
debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth
attach to the Surviving Corporation.
2
(2) At
the
Effective Date, (i) the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-laws of Xxxxxx,
as existing immediately prior to the Effective Date, shall be and remain the
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation; (ii)
the
members of the Board of Directors of Xxxxxx holding office immediately prior
to
the Effective Date shall remain as the members of the Board of Directors of
the
Surviving Corporation (if on or after the Effective Date a vacancy exists on
the
Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation, such vacancy may thereafter
be
filled in a manner provided by applicable law and the By-laws of the Surviving
Corporation); and (iii) until the Board of Directors of the Surviving
Corporation shall otherwise determine, all persons who held offices of Xxxxxx
at
the Effective Date shall continue to hold the same offices of the Surviving
Corporation.
(b) Events
Occurring Prior to the Closing.
(1) Prior
to
the Effective Date of the Merger , the Board of Directors and the shareholders
of VIGS shall duly authorize and approve an eighty-for-one (80:1) reverse stock
split (the “Reverse
Split")
of
VIGS Common Stock. In connection with the Reverse Split, the total number of
issued and outstanding shares of VIGS Common Stock held by each stockholder
will
be converted automatically into the number of whole shares of VIGS Common Stock
equal to (i) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held
by
such stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Split, divided by (ii) 80.
The
VIGS Preferred Stock shall remain unaffected by the Reverse Split. No fractional
shares will be issued, and no cash or other consideration will be paid. Instead
of issuing fractional shares, VIGS will issue one full share of the post-Reverse
Split VIGS Common Stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received
a
fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split;
(2) Prior
to
the Effective Date of the Merger, the Board of Directors of VIGS shall duly
authorize the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of VIGS in the
form
attached hereto as Exhibit
B
(the
“VIGS
Amended Articles”)
so
that VIGS shall have an authorized capitalization consisting of 200,000,000
shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value ("VIGS
Common Stock"),
of
which, 943,675 shares will be issued and outstanding as the Effective Date
of
the Merger (which includes an additional 125,000 post Reverse Split shares
issued in connection with legal services); and 50,000,000 authorized shares
of
Preferred Stock, including (a) 5,000,000 authorized shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, $0.0001 par value ("VIGS
Series A Preferred Stock"),
of
which, no shares will be issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date of
the
Merger (b) 20,000,000 authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock, $0.0001
par
value ("VIGS
Series B Preferred Stock"),
of which
no shares will be issued and outstanding the Effective Date of the Merger,
(c)
5,000 authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value
("VIGS
Series C Preferred Stock"),
of which
no shares will issued and outstanding as the Effective Date of the Merger,
and
(d) 25,000,000 remaining undesignated authorized shares of preferred stock,
("VIGS
Undesignated Preferred Stock"),
of
which none will be issued and outstanding as of the date of the Effective Date
of the Merger (collectively, the VIGS Series A Preferred Stock, the VIGS Series
B Preferred Stock, the VIGS Series C Preferred Stock and the Undesignated
Preferred Stock shall be collectively referred to herein as the “VIGS
Preferred Stock”).
Upon
receipt of the necessary shareholder approval (which VIGS covenants to obtain),
the Board of Directors of VIGS shall cause the VIGS Amended Articles to be
filed
with the Nevada Secretary of State.

is
currently contemplated that prior to the Effective Date of the Merger, Xxxxxx

Stock

Matters.
(1) Upon
the
effectiveness of the Merger, each outstanding option or warrant to purchase
Xxxxxx Common Stock, whether or not then exercisable, shall be converted into
an
option or warrant to purchase (in substitution for each share of Xxxxxx Common
Stock subject to an Xxxxxx option or warrant) one (1) share of VIGS Common
Stock
at a price equal to the exercise price in effect immediately prior to the
Merger. All other terms and conditions of each Xxxxxx option or warrant shall
remain the same.
(2) At
the
Closing, the number of directors of VIGS will be increased to three (3). The
then existing sole director of VIGS shall then nominate and elect to the Board

Placement (collectively, the “Xxxxxx

to
surrender to VIGS’s transfer agent for cancellation certificates representing
their shares of Xxxxxx Common Stock and Xxxxxx Preferred Stock, as applicable,
against delivery of certificates representing the shares of VIGS Common Stock
and VIGS Preferred Stock, as applicable, for which the Xxxxxx shares are to
be
converted in the Merger. Until surrendered and exchanged as herein provided,
each outstanding certificate which, prior to the Effective Date, represented
Xxxxxx Common Stock or Xxxxxx Preferred Stock shall be deemed for all corporate
purposes to evidence ownership of the same number of shares of VIGS Common
Stock
or VIGS Preferred Stock, as applicable, into which the shares of Xxxxxx Common
Stock and Xxxxxx Preferred Stock represented by such Xxxxxx certificate shall
have been so converted.
4. Representations
of Xxxxxx.

contingent, not disclosed or referenced in the Xxxxxx Financial Statements
or in
any exhibit thereto or notes thereto other than contracts or obligations
occurring in the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2007. No such

liens or other liabilities which materially alter the financial condition of
Xxxxxx as reflected in the Xxxxxx Financial Statements. Xxxxxx has or will
have
at the Closing good title to all assets shown on the Xxxxxx Financial Statements
subject only to dispositions and other transactions in the ordinary course
of
business, the disclosures set forth therein, and liens and encumbrances of
record. The Xxxxxx Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (except as may be indicated therein
or
in the notes thereto and except for the absence of footnotes).
(d) Except
as
set forth in Schedule 4(d), since December 31, 2007, there has not been any
material adverse change in the financial position of Xxxxxx except changes
arising in the ordinary course of business, which changes will not materially
or
adversely affect the financial position of Xxxxxx.
(e) Xxxxxx
is
not a party to any material pending litigation or, to the actual knowledge
of
its executive officers (herein, “Knowledge”),
any
governmental investigation or proceeding, not reflected in the Xxxxxx Financial
Statements, and, to its Knowledge, no material litigation, claims, assessments
or any governmental proceedings are threatened against Xxxxxx.
(f) Xxxxxx
is
in good standing in its state of incorporation, and is in good standing and
duly
qualified to do business in each state where required to be so qualified except
where the failure to so qualify would have no material negative impact on
Xxxxxx.
(g) Xxxxxx

and/or related forms and reports (or extensions thereof) due or required to
be
filed in the ordinary course of business and has (or will have) paid or made
adequate provisions for all taxes or assessments which have become due as of
the
Effective Date, except where failure to do so would have no material adverse
effect on Xxxxxx.
(h) Xxxxxx
has not materially breached any material agreement to which it is a party.
Xxxxxx has made available to VIGS for review copies of or access to all material
contracts, commitments or agreements to which Xxxxxx is a party, including
all

to the Effective Date, during reasonable business hours and on reasonable
notice.
(k) Subject
to the receipt of shareholder approval, Xxxxxx has the corporate power to enter
into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution
and
delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby have been or will prior to the Closing and the Effective Date be duly
authorized by the Board of Directors of Xxxxxx and by the stockholders of
Xxxxxx. The execution of this Agreement does not materially violate or breach

to
the extent required, has (or will have by Closing) obtained all necessary
approvals or consents required by any agreement to which Xxxxxx is a party.
The
execution and performance of this Agreement will not violate or conflict with
any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of

6
(l) Information
regarding Xxxxxx which has been delivered by Xxxxxx to VIGS for use in
connection with the Merger, is true and accurate in all material
respects.
5. Representations
of VIGS and VGS Sub.
VIGS and
VGS Sub hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to Xxxxxx as follows,
each of which representations and warranties shall continue to be true as of
the
Effective Date:
(a) As
of the
Effective Date, the shares of VIGS Common Stock to be issued and delivered
to
the Xxxxxx Stockholders hereunder and in connection herewith will, when so
issued and delivered, constitute duly authorized, validly and legally issued,
fully-paid, nonassessable shares of VIGS capital stock, free of all liens and
encumbrances.
(b) VIGS
and
VGS Sub have the corporate power to enter into this Agreement and to perform
their obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will
prior
to the Closing and the Effective Date be duly authorized by the respective
Boards of Directors, and to the extent legally required, shareholder approval,
of VIGS and VGS Sub and by VIGS. The execution and performance of this Agreement
will not constitute a material breach of any agreement, indenture, mortgage,
license or other instrument or document to which VIGS or VGS Sub is a party
or
to which it is otherwise subject and will not violate any judgment, decree,
order, writ, law, rule, statute, or regulation applicable to VIGS or VGS Sub
or
their respective properties. The execution and performance of this Agreement
will not violate or conflict with any provision of the respective Articles
or
Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of VIGS or VGS Sub.
(c) VIGS
has
delivered to Xxxxxx a true and complete copy of its audited financial statements
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 (the "VIGS
Financial Statements").
To
the best of VIGS knowledge, the VIGS Financial Statements are complete, accurate
and fairly present the financial condition of VIGS as of the dates thereof
and
the results of its operations for the periods then ended. There are no material
liabilities or obligations either fixed or contingent not reflected therein.
The
VIGS Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis (except as may
be
indicated therein or in the notes thereto) and fairly present the financial
position of VIGS as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations
and
changes in financial position for the periods then ended. VGS Sub has no
financial statements because it was recently formed solely for the purpose
of
effectuating the Merger and it has been, is and will remain inactive except
for
purposes of the Merger, and it has no assets, liabilities, contracts or
obligations of any kind other than as incurred in the ordinary course in
connection with its incorporation in Delaware. VIGS has no subsidiaries or
affiliates except for VGS Sub, and VGS Sub has no subsidiaries or
affiliates.
7
(d) Since
December 31, 2007, there have not been any material adverse changes in the
financial condition of VIGS. At the Closing, neither VIGS nor VGS Sub shall
have
any material assets and neither such corporation now has, nor shall it have,
any
liabilities of any kind.
(e) Neither
VIGS nor VGS Sub is a party to, or the subject of, any pending litigation,
claims, or governmental investigation or proceeding not reflected in the VIGS
Financial Statements, and to the Knowledge of VIGS and VGS Sub, there are no
lawsuits, claims, assessments, investigations, or similar matters, threatened
or
contemplated against or affecting VGS Sub, VIGS, or the management or properties
of VIGS or VGS Sub.
(f) VIGS
and
VGS Sub are each duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the
laws of the jurisdiction of their incorporation; each has the corporate power
to
own its property and to carry on its business as now being conducted and is
duly
qualified to do business in any jurisdiction where so required except where
the
failure to so qualify would have no material negative impact. Neither
corporation is required to be qualified to do business in any state other than
the states of Nevada (for VIGS) and Delaware (for VGS Sub).
(g) VIGS
and
VGS Sub have filed all federal, state, county and local income, excise, property
and other tax, governmental and other returns, forms, filings, or reports,
which
are due or required to be filed by it prior to the date hereof and have paid
or
made adequate provision in the VIGS Financial Statements for the payment of
all
taxes, fees, or assessments which have or may become due pursuant to such
returns, filings or reports or pursuant to any assessments received, except
where the absence or lack of such filing or payment would result in a material
adverse effect. Neither VIGS nor VGS Sub is delinquent or obligated for any
material tax, penalty, interest, delinquency or charge and there are no tax
liens or encumbrances applicable to either corporation.
(h) As

available to Xxxxxx prior to the Closing. The records and documents of VIGS
and
VGS Sub that have been delivered to Xxxxxx constitute all of the records and
documents of VIGS and VGS Sub that are in the possession of VIGS or VGS
Sub.
(l) Neither
VIGS nor VGS Sub has breached, nor is there any pending, or to the Knowledge
of
the VIGS or VGS Sub, any existing or threatened claim that VIGS or VGS Sub
has
breached, any of the terms or conditions of any agreements, contracts,
commitments or other documents to which it is a party or by which its properties
are bound. The execution and performance of this Agreement will not violate
any
provisions of applicable law or any agreement to which VIGS or VGS Sub is
subject. Each of VIGS and VGS Sub hereby represent and warrant that it is not
a
party to any contract or commitment other than appointment documents with VIGS’s
transfer agent, and that it has disclosed to Xxxxxx in writing all previous
or
existing relationships or dealings with related or controlling parties or
affiliates. There are no currently existing agreements with any affiliates,
related or controlling persons or entities.
(m) To
the
best of management’s knowledge, VIGS has complied with all of the provisions
relating to the issuance of shares, and for the registration thereof, under
the
Securities Act, other applicable securities laws, and all applicable blue sky
laws in connection with any and all of its stock issuance. There are no
outstanding, pending or threatened stop orders or other actions or
investigations relating thereto involving federal and state securities laws.
To
the best of management’s knowledge, all issued and outstanding shares of VIGS
equity and other securities were offered and sold in compliance with federal
and
state securities laws.
(n) To
the
best of management’s knowledge, all information regarding VIGS which has been
provided to Xxxxxx by VIGS or set forth in any document or other communication,
disseminated to any former, existing or potential stockholders of VIGS or to
the
public or filed with the NASD or the SEC or any state securities regulators
or
authorities is true, complete, accurate in all material respects, not
misleading, and was and is in full compliance with all securities laws and
regulations.
(o) To
the
best of management’s knowledge, VIGS is and has been in compliance with, and

with, all applicable laws, orders, rules and regulations of all governmental
bodies and agencies, including applicable securities laws and regulations
(including, by way of example and not limitation the Sarbanes-Oxely Act of
2002)
and environmental laws and regulations, except where such noncompliance has
and
will have, in the aggregate, no material adverse effect. VIGS currently trades
on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. VIGS was delinquent in three public
filings during the last three years which were required under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, resulting in the temporary delisting of VIGS
from the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the period of one year. Otherwise,
VIGS has not received notice of any noncompliance with the foregoing, nor is
it
aware of any claims or threatened claims in connection therewith. VIGS has
never
conducted any operations or engaged in any business transactions whatsoever
other than as set forth in the reports VIGS has previously filed with the SEC.

conduct VIGS is legally held responsible are and have been in material
compliance with all applicable federal, state, regional, local laws, statutes,
ordinances, judgments, rulings and regulations relating to any matters of
pollution, protection of the environment, health or safety, or environmental
regulation or control, and (ii) neither VIGS nor any other person for whose

stored, handled, processed, released, transported or disposed of any hazardous
substance on, under, from or at any of VIGS’s properties or in connection with
VIGS’s operations.
(q) To
the
best of VIGS’ management’s Knowledge, and except as otherwise disclosed herein,
VIGS has filed all required documents, reports and schedules with the SEC,
the
NASD and any applicable state or regional securities regulators or authorities
(collectively, the "VIGS
SEC Documents").
As of
their respective dates, the VIGS SEC Documents complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act, the NASD rules and regulations
and
state and regional securities laws and regulations, as the case may be, and,
at
the respective times they were filed, none of the VIGS SEC Documents contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To the
best of VIGS’s management’s Knowledge, the VIGS Financial Statements (including,
in each case, any notes thereto) of VIGS included in the VIGS SEC Documents

accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect
thereto, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto) applied
on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated
therein or in the notes thereto) and fairly presented in all material respects
the financial position of VIGS as of the respective dates thereof and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments and to any other adjustments described therein).
(r) To
the
best of VIGS’s management’s Knowledge, except as and to the extent specifically
disclosed in this Agreement and as may be specifically disclosed or reserved
against as to amount in the latest balance sheet contained in the VIGS Financial
Statements, there is no basis for any assertion against VIGS of any liabilities
or obligations of any nature, whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise
and whether due or to become due, including, without limitation, any liability
for taxes (including e-commerce sales or other taxes), interest, penalties
and
other charges payable with respect thereto. To the best of management’s
knowledge, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (a) result in any
payment (whether severance pay, unemployment compensation or otherwise) becoming
due from VIGS to any person or entity, including without limitation any
employee, director, officer or affiliate or former employee, director, officer
or affiliate of VIGS, (b) increase any benefits otherwise payable to any person
or entity, including without limitation any employee, director, officer or
affiliate or former employee, director, officer or affiliate of VIGS, or (c)
result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such
benefits.
10
(s) No
aspect
of VIGS’s past or present business, operations or assets is of such a character
as would restrict or otherwise hinder or impair VIGS from carrying on the
business of VIGS as it is presently being conducted by VIGS.

are
no outstanding lease commitments that cannot be terminated without penalty
upon
30-days’ prior notice, or any purchase commitments, in each case of either VIGS
or VGS Sub.
(x) To
the
best of VIGS’s management’s Knowledge, no representation or warranty by VIGS or
VGS Sub contained in this Agreement and no statement contained in any
certificate, schedule or other communication furnished pursuant to or in
connection with the provisions hereof contains or shall contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading. There is no current or
prior event or condition of any kind or character pertaining to VIGS that may
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on VIGS or its
subsidiaries. Except as specifically indicated elsewhere in this Agreement,
all
documents delivered by VIGS in connection herewith have been and will be
complete originals, or exact copies thereof.
(y) To
the
best of VIGS’s management’s Knowledge, assuming all corporate consents and
approvals have been obtained and assuming the appropriate filings and mailings
are made by VIGS under the Securities Act, the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
with the
NASD, and with the Secretaries of State of Delaware and Nevada, the execution
and delivery by VIGS of this Agreement and the closing documents and the
consummation by VIGS of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will
not
(i) require the consent, approval or action of, or any filing or notice to,
any
corporation, firm, person or other entity or any public, governmental or
judicial authority (except for such consents, approvals, actions, filing or
notices the failure of which to make or obtain will not in the aggregate have
a
material adverse effect); or (ii) violate any order, writ, injunction,
decree, judgment, ruling, law, rule or regulation of any federal, state, county,
municipal, or foreign court or governmental authority applicable to VIGS, or
its
business or assets. VIGS is not subject to, or a party to, any mortgage, lien,
lease, agreement, contract, instrument, order, judgment or decree or any other
material restriction of any kind or character which would prevent, hinder or
impair the continued operation of the business of VIGS (or to the Knowledge
of
VIGS, the continued operation of the business of Xxxxxx) after the
Closing.
