Corporation of Articles of Merger incorporating this Agreement by reference and
the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada, the
Merger shall become effective (the "Effective Time of the

Effective time of the Merger, by virtue of the Merger, every share of the common
stock of the Subsidiary Corporation shall be retired and the certificates shall
be deemed cancelled.
4. Governing Documents, Bylaws, Board of
Directors. The Articles of Incorporation of the Parent Corporation in
effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be the

shall provide that the Articles of Incorporation shall be amended to change the
name of the Parent Corporation to CleanTech Innovations, Inc. The
Bylaws of the Parent Corporation in effect immediately prior to the Effective
Time of the Merger shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving
Company. The Board of Directors of the Parent Corporation shall be the Board of
Directors of the Surviving Company.

be mailed at least 30 days before filing the articles of merger.
6. Termination. This Agreement
may be terminated for any reason at any time before the filing of Articles of
Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (whether before or
after approval by the shareholders of the Subsidiary Corporation and the Parent
Corporation, or either of them) by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Parent Corporation.
7. Amendment. This Agreement may,
to the extent permitted by law, be amended, supplemented or interpreted at any
time by action taken by the Board of Directors of each of the
