subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable
provisions of Nevada law, the Merger Sub shall be merged with and into GCC, the
separate coexistence of Merger Sub shall cease and GCC shall continue as the
surviving corporation (sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving

practicable on or before November 5, 2009, or on such other date as
may be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Such date is referred to

1.4 Charter Documents,

Effective Time, (i) the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of GCC shall be

(iii) the officers of GCC immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the

1.5 Conversion of Capital
Stock. The conversion of shares of GCC common stock is
intended to cause the current GCC shareholders on a fully-diluted basis to hold
95% of the outstanding uKarma common stock immediately after the Closing while
current uKarma shareholders on a fully-diluted basis would hold the other 5% of
the outstanding uKarma common stock immediately after the Closing.

|
Common Stock.
Each share of Common Stock of GCC (the “GCC Common Stock”) issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall at the Effective
Time, without any action on the part of any holder thereof, forthwith
cease to exist and be converted into the right to receive _that number
of shares of Common Stock of uKarma (“uKarma Common Stock”)
equal to the uKarma Exchange Ratio (as defined
below). Except as otherwise provided herein, commencing
immediately after the Effective Time, each certificate which, immediately
prior to the Effective Time, represented issued and outstanding shares of
GCC Common Stock shall thereafter evidence only the right to receive that
portion of the merger consideration allocable to such shares as described
herein. The “uKarma Exchange Ratio” means the number equal to
the quotient of (1) the number of all outstanding uKarma Common Stock on a
fully-diluted basis immediately prior to closing multiplied by 95/5
divided by (2) that number all outstanding GCC Common Stock on
a fully-diluted basis prior to closing.

right to receive that number of shares of uKarma Preferred
Stock (“uKarma Preferred Stock”) equal to the uKarma Exchange
Ratio. Except as otherwise provided herein,
commencing immediately after the Effective Time, each certificate which,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented issued and
outstanding shares of GCC Preferred Stock shall thereafter evidence only
the right to receive that portion of the merger consideration allocable to
such shares as described
herein.

Securities. At the Effective Time all unexpired and
unexercised options and warrants to purchase shares of GCC Common Stock (“GCC
Options”) then outstanding, whether vested or unvested together with GCC’s Stock
Option Plan shall be assumed by uKarma in accordance with the provisions
herein. Each GCC Option assumed herein shall continue to have, and be
subject to, the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such GCC Option
immediately prior to the Effective Time except that such GCC Option shall be
exercisable for that number of GCC Options as set forth on Schedule
1.5(c). All GCC debt that may be converted into GCC Preferred Stock
(together with GCC Options, “GCC Derivative Securities”) shall be exchanged for
uKarma preferred stock in the matter set forth on Schedule
1.5(c). The exercise and conversion price at which uKarma options,
warrants or debt convertible into uKarma Preferred Stock may be exercised or
converted (as applicable) into uKarma Common Stock shall be based on the
exercise or conversion price of the GCC Derivative Security and also
proportional to the ratio at which GCC Common Stock may be exchanged for uKarma
Common Stock.

in the Acquisition, but in lieu thereof, the shares to be distributed to each
holder of shares of GCC Common Stock, GCC Preferred Stock or GCC Derivative

converted into or represent a right to receive uKarma Shares pursuant to Section
1.5 but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted
under Nevada law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any holder of
shares of GCC Capital Stock who demands appraisal of such shares under Nevada
law shall effectively withdraw or lose the right to appraisal, then, as of the
later of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the occurrence of such event, such
holder’s shares shall automatically convert into and represent only the right to
receive uKarma Shares as provided herein, without interest thereon, upon

controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are
executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations,
(ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii)
access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences. uKarma has established disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) for uKarma and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to
ensure that material information relating to uKarma is made known to the
certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the
period in which uKarma’s Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is being
prepared. uKarma’s certifying officers have evaluated the
effectiveness of uKarma’s controls and procedures as of end of the filing period
prior to the filing date of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009
(such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). uKarma presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K
or Form 10-Q the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness
of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the
Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no
significant changes in uKarma’s internal controls (as such term is defined in
Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s
knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s
internal controls.
3.17 Listing and Maintenance
Requirements. uKarma is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board and uKarma has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received
any notice from the OTC Bulletin Board or the NASD or any trading market on
which uKarma’s common stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that
uKarma is not in compliance with the quoting, listing or maintenance
requirements of the OTCBB or such other trading market. uKarma is,
and has no reason to believe that it will not, in the foreseeable future
continue to be, in compliance with all such quoting, listing and maintenance
requirements.
3.18 No SEC or NASD
Inquiries. Neither uKarma nor any of its past or present
officers or directors is, or has ever been, the subject of any formal or
informal inquiry or investigation by the SEC or NASD.
3.19 Disclosure. The
representations and warranties and statements of fact made by uKarma in this
Agreement are, as applicable, accurate, correct and complete and do not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements and information contained herein not
false or misleading.

INDEMNIFICATION
4.1 Mutual
Indemnification. Each of uKarma and GCC (“Indemnifying Party”)
agree to indemnify the other party (“Indemnified Signing Party”) and its
shareholders and each of the officers, agents and directors of the Indemnified
Signing Party against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including,
but not limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever) (each an “Indemnified Party”) to which it
or they may become subject arising out of or based on (i) any breach of or
inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties or covenants or
conditions made by the Indemnifying Party herein in this
Agreement; and (ii) any and all liabilities existing prior to the
Closing or arising out of or in connection with: (A) any of the assets of the
Indemnifying Party or any Subsidiary prior to the Closing; or (B) the operations
of the Indemnifying Party prior to the Closing.
4.2 Indemnification
Procedures. If any action shall be brought against any
Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this
Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party
in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the
defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that the
employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in
writing, the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to
assume such defense and to employ counsel or in such action there is, in the
reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material
issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such
Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will not be liable to any
Indemnified Party under this Article 5 for any settlement by an Indemnified
Party effected without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or to the extent, but only to the
extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any
Indemnified Party’s indemnification pursuant to this Article 5.

______________________
Shares
|
In
connection with the exchange of the shares of securities of Xxxxx
Capital Corporation for securities of uKarma Corporation, I, the GCC shareholder
represent to the Company the following:
(1) Investment. I
am acquiring the Securities for investment for my own account only and not with
a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within
the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended). These
securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a
specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends on, among other things,
the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. In
this connection I understand that, in view of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if
my representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these
Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes,
for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of
the Securities or for the period of one year or any other fixed period in the
future.
(2) Restrictions on Transfer
Under Securities Act. I further acknowledge and understand
that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such
registration is available. Moreover, I understand that the Company is
under no obligation to register the Securities. In addition, I
understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with
a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are
registered or unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required.
(3) Sales Under Rule
144. I am aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the SEC
promulgated under the Securities Act, which in substance permits limited public
resale of securities acquired in a non- public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, including: (i) the availability
of certain current public information about the Company, and if I am an
“affiliate” of the Company , also that (ii) the resale being made through a
broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with
a "market maker," and (iii) the amount of securities sold during any three-month
period not exceeding specified limitations (generally 1% of the total shares
outstanding).
(4) Limitations on Rule
144. I further acknowledge and understand that the Company is
not now, and at any time I wish to sell the Securities may not be, satisfying
the public information requirement of Rule 144, and, in such case, I would be
precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the minimum holding
period had been satisfied.
20
(5) Sales Not Under Rule
144. I further acknowledge that, if all the requirements of
Rule 144 are not met, then Regulation A, or some other registration exemption
will be required; and that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the
Commission has expressed its opinion (i) that persons proposing to sell private
placement securities other than in a registered offering or exemption from
registration is available for such offers or sales, and (ii) that such persons
and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so their own
risk.
(6) Stop Transfer
Instructions. I further understand that stop transfer
instructions will be in effect with respect to the transfer of the Securities
consistent with the above.
(7) Additional Representations
and Warranties. In addition, I represent and
warrant:
(i) That
I have had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers
from, the Company ( or any person acting on its behalf) concerning the Company
and my proposed investment in the Securities;
(ii) That
I have concluded that I have sufficient information upon which to base my
decision to acquire the Securities;
(iii) That
I have made my own determination of the value of the Securities and have not
relied upon any statements, representations or warranties of the Company
regarding the value of the Securities or the business prospects of the
Company;
(iv) That
I understand that in acquiring the Securities, I am making a highly speculative
investment with the knowledge that the Company is in the initial stages of
development;
(v) That
I am capable of bearing the economic risk and burdens of the investment, the
possibility of complete loss of all of the investment, and the possible
inability to readily liquidate the investment due to the lack of public market;
and
(vi) That
I understand that, in selling and transferring the Securities, the Company had
relied upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and that, in an attempt to effect compliance with all the conditions of such
exemption, the Company is relying in good faith upon all of my foregoing
representations and warranties.
(vii) That
I am an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
(8) I
own beneficially and of record, good and marketable title to the GCC shares set
forth opposite my name in Column I on Schedule I attached hereto, free and clear
of all security interests, liens, adverse claims, encumbrances, equities,
proxies, options or shareholders’ agreements. I will convey to uKarma
good and marketable title to GCC free and clear of all security interests,
liens, adverse claims, encumbrances, equities, proxies, options or shareholders’
agreements or restrictions.
