ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

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 applicable provisions of the DGCL, Noble shall be merged with and into Merger Sub, the separate corporate existence of Noble shall cease and Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving corporation. Merger Sub, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2 Effective Time; Closing. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a properly executed certificate of merger (“Certificate of Merger”) in such form as may be agreed by the parties hereto and as required by the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time of such filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such later time as may be agreed in writing by Noble and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, being the “Effective Time”) as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date (as herein defined). The term “Agreement” as used herein refers to this Agreement and Plan of Merger, as the same may be amended from time to time, and all schedules hereto (including the Company Disclosure Schedules, as defined in the preamble to Article II hereof). Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. (“Mintz Xxxxx”) at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, or at such other time, date and location as the parties hereto agree in writing (the “Closing Date”). Closing signatures may be transmitted by facsimile.

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, in the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Noble shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Noble shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws; Officers and Directors.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of Merger Sub shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) At the Effective Time, the officers and directors of Merger Sub shall be the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5 Effect on Capital Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and this Agreement and without any action on the part of any party, the following shall occur:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 1.6 and regardless of whether the condition set forth in Section 6.1(b) hereof is exceeded, at the Effective Time, each share of Noble Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into and become exchangeable for 0.048069 shares of common stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share (an aggregate of 201,316 shares) (“Company Common Stock” or the “Merger Consideration”). The number of shares of Company Common Stock into which shares of Noble Common Stock are converted in accordance with this Section 1.5(a) shall be the “Exchange Ratio”. Neither the Merger Consideration nor the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted if the Company consummates a financing in excess of $50,000,000 as contemplated by Section 6.1(b) hereof.

(b) As of the Effective Time, all shares of Noble Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be deemed canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive shares of the applicable Merger Consideration.

(c) Issuance of Certificates for Company Common Stock. The certificates representing the shares of Company Common Stock issuable with respect to certificates for shares of Noble Common Stock shall be issued to the holders of the shares of Noble Common Stock upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares in the manner provided in Section 1.6 (or, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and indemnity, if required) in the manner provided in Section 1.8).

(d) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock or Noble Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Noble Common Stock or Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made with respect to any dividend or redemption permitted by Section 4.1.

(e) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Company Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and each holder of shares of Noble Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Company Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Company Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall, upon compliance with Section 1.6, receive from the Company, in lieu of such fractional share, one (1) share of Company Common Stock.

1.6 Exchange Procedure.

(a) Surrender of Certificates. After the Effective Time, stock certificates (each, a "Certificate," and collectively, the "Certificates") representing shares of Noble Common Stock will be conclusively deemed to represent the right of the registered holder thereof to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration that such registered holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof upon surrender, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.6, of all Certificates registered in the name of such registered holder.

(b) Exchange of Certificates. As promptly as practicable before or after the Effective Time, the Company (or its designee or exchange agent) will send to each Stockholder a letter of transmittal, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, for use in exchanging all Certificates registered in the name of such Stockholder for the Merger Consideration to which such Stockholder may be entitled as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon surrender by a Stockholder of all Certificates (or lost certificate affidavits) registered in the name of such Stockholder to the Company (or its designee), together with a duly executed letter of transmittal, such Stockholder will be entitled to receive, in exchange for all of such Certificates, the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such Stockholder may be entitled (as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), and such Certificates will be canceled. It is intended that such letter of transmittal will contain provisions requiring each executing Stockholder thereof to, among other things, (i) acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including this Section 1.6, (ii) make certain representations and warranties with respect to such executing Stockholder and the shares of Noble Common Stock owned or held by such executing Stockholder, (iii) waive all appraisal or dissenters rights and (iv) deliver original Certificates (or an affidavit of loss and indemnity), together with blank stock powers and other instruments of transfer, in each case in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Company Common Stock to such Stockholder.

(c) Transfer of Ownership. Shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time. If any certificate representing shares of Company Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the person requesting such exchange shall deliver to the Company (or its designee or exchange agent) all documents necessary to evidence and effect such transfer and shall pay to the Company (or its designee or exchange agent) any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of Company Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or establish to the satisfaction of the Company (or its designee or exchange agent) that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(d) Termination of Rights; Abandoned Property. After the Effective Time, holders of Noble Common Stock will cease to be, and will have no rights as, Stockholders, other than (i) in the case of shares other than Dissenting Shares (as defined herein), the rights to receive the Merger Consideration, as provided in this Agreement, and (ii) in the case of Dissenting Shares, the rights afforded to the holders thereof under Section 262 of the DGCL. Until surrendered for cancellation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.6, each Certificate representing shares of Noble Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Time, represent (i) in the case of shares other than Dissenting Shares, the right of the applicable Stockholder to receive the Merger Consideration, and (ii) in the case of Dissenting Shares, the rights afforded to the holders thereof under the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Neither Noble the Company, Merger Sub, nor any other Person will be liable to any holder or former holder of shares of Noble Common Stock for any shares, or any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar laws.

(e) Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates. No dividend or other distribution declared with respect to Company Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to holders of unsurrendered Certificates until such holders surrender such Certificates or comply with Section 1.8 hereof. Upon the surrender of such Certificates in accordance with Section 1.7 and upon compliance with all of the provisions of Section 1.6 or Section 1.8 hereof, as applicable, and all of the provisions of Section 1.7, there shall be paid to such holders, promptly after such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Company Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time, and the amount of any portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and, in each case, not previously paid solely because of the failure to surrender such Certificates for exchange.

1.7 No Further Ownership Rights in Noble Common Stock. All shares of Company Common Stock issued in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Noble Common Stock and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Noble Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.8 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the certificates representing the shares of Company Common Stock that the shares of Noble Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates exchanged therefore and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.6(e); provided, however, that, as a condition precedent to the issuance of such certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock, the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates shall indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.9 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Noble, the officers and directors of Noble will take all such lawful and necessary action.

1.10 Stockholder Matters. By his, her or its execution or approval of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby approves and adopts this Agreement and authorizes Merger Sub and the Company, its directors and officers to take all actions necessary for the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and its exhibits. Such execution shall be deemed to be action taken by the irrevocable written consent of each Stockholder under the DGCL.

1.11 Shares Subject to Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Dissenting Shares (as hereinafter defined) shall not be converted into a right to receive Company Common Stock and the holders thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for such shares pursuant to the DGCL shall receive payment therefor from the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the DGCL; provided, however, that (i) if any Stockholder who asserts appraisal rights in connection with the Merger (a “Dissenter”) shall have failed to establish his, her or its entitlement to such rights as provided in the DGCL, or (ii) if any such Dissenter shall have effectively withdrawn his, her or its demand for payment for such shares or waived or lost his, her or its right to payment for his, her or its shares under the appraisal rights process under the DGCL, the shares of Noble Common Stock held by such Dissenter shall be treated as if they had been converted, as of the Effective Time, into a right to receive Company Common Stock and as provided in Section 1.5. Noble shall give the Company prompt notice of any demands for payment received by Noble from a person asserting appraisal rights, and the Company shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Noble shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

(b) As used herein, “Dissenting Shares” means any shares of Noble Common Stock held by Stockholders who are entitled to appraisal rights under the DGCL, and who have properly exercised, perfected and not subsequently withdrawn or lost or waived their rights to demand payment with respect to their shares in accordance with the DGCL.

(e) by Noble, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Article VI would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such breach is curable by the Company or Merger Sub prior to the Closing Date, then Noble may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(e) for 30 days after delivery of written notice from Noble to the Company of such breach, provided the Company or Merger Sub continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach (it being understood that Noble may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(e) if it shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach by the Company is cured during such 30-day period).

8.2 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections or subsections, such reference shall be to a Section or subsection of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated the words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. When reference is made herein to “the business of” an entity, such reference shall be deemed to include the business of all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such entity. Reference to the Subsidiaries of an entity shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such entity. For purposes of this Agreement:

(a) the term “Legal Requirements” means any federal, state, local, municipal, foreign or other law, statute, constitution, principle of common law, resolution, ordinance, code, edict, decree, rule, regulation, ruling or requirement issued, enacted, adopted, promulgated, implemented or otherwise put into effect by or under the authority of any Governmental Entity and all requirements set forth in applicable;

(b) the term “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation (including any non-profit corporation), general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, joint venture, estate, trust, company (including any limited liability company or joint stock company), firm or other enterprise, association, organization, entity or Governmental Entity;

(c) the term “knowledge” (including any derivation thereof such as “known” or “knowing”) shall mean the actual knowledge of the officers and directors of the Company or Noble, as applicable, or any facts or circumstances that would be known after due inquiry by a Person holding a comparable office or job with comparable experience or responsibility of any of the foregoing persons;

(d) the term “Affiliate” means, as applied to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with, such Person. For purposes of this definition, “control” (including with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and

(e) all monetary amounts set forth herein are referenced in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted.

8.3 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery by facsimile to counsel for the other party of a counterpart executed by a party shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.

8.4 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Schedules hereto (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; and (ii) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder (except as specifically provided in this Agreement).

8.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

8.6 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

8.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

8.8 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

8.9 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 8.9, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

8.10 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

8.11 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

8.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties in this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing; provided, however, this Section 8.12 shall in no way limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Closing.
