ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK
2.1. Conversion of Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties or the
registered holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company (each a
"Company Shareholder," and collectively, the "Company Shareholders"):
2
(a) Each unit of outstanding membership interest of Dr.
Tattoff (the "Membership Interests") shall be converted into and become 75 fully
paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of
the Surviving Corporation. The number of shares of Company Common Stock issued
to each member of Dr. Tattoff (each a "Member" and collectively the "Members")
in accordance with this Section 2.1(a) shall hereafter be referred to as the
"Merger Shares". At the Effective Time, all Membership Interests of Dr. Tattoff
shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired
and shall cease to exist, and each Dr. Tattoff Member shall cease to have any
rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Shares.
(b) No fraction of a share of Company Common Stock will be
issued, but in lieu of such issuance, each Dr. Tattoff Member who would
otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Company Common Stock as a
result of the conversion and exchange of shares contemplated by this Article II
shall receive from the Company one (1) additional share of Company Common Stock.
The fractional share interest of Dr. Tattoff Members shall be aggregated such
that no Dr. Tattoff Member shall receive more than the one (1) share of Company
Common Stock with respect to any interest in fractional shares.
2.2. Exchange of Interests.
(a) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall
deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Blank Rome LLP (the "Exchange
Agent"), for the benefit of the Dr. Tattoff Members certificates in the names of
each such Dr. Tattoff Member evidencing the number of Merger Shares to be issued
to such Dr. Tattoff Member in accordance with this Article II. As soon as
reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Company will instruct the
Exchange Agent to deliver to each holder of Membership Interests of Dr. Tattoff
a letter of transmittal containing instructions for use in effecting the
exchange of Membership Interests for certificates evidencing the relevant number
of Merger Shares. No interest shall be paid on the Merger Shares. All Merger
Shares issued upon exchange of the Membership Interests of Dr. Tattoff in
accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in
full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common
Stock.
(b) It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
Merger Shares will bear the legends set forth below:
(i) The Securities represented hereby have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), or under the securities laws of any other
jurisdictions. These securities are subject to restrictions on
transferability and resale and may not be transferred or
resold except as permitted under the Act and the applicable
state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption
therefrom. Investors should be aware that they may be required
to bear the financial risks of this investment for an
indefinite period of time. The issuer of these securities may
require an opinion of counsel in form and substance
satisfactory to the issuer to the effect that any proposed
transfer or resale is in compliance with the Act and any
applicable state securities laws;
3
(ii) Any additional legend required by Applicable Law.
The legend set forth in (i) above shall be removed from any certificate
evidencing such Merger Shares upon delivery to the Company of an opinion by
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such security can be
freely transferred without such a registration statement being in effect and
that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from
registration pursuant to which the Company issued such Merger Shares.
2.3. Certain Adjustments. If after the date hereof and prior to the
Effective Time and to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the outstanding
Membership Interests of Dr. Tattoff or Company Common Stock shall be changed
into a different number, class or series of shares by reason of any
reclassification, recapitalization or combination, forward stock split, reverse
stock split (other than the Reverse Stock Split), stock dividend or rights
issued in respect of such stock, or any similar event shall occur (any such
action, an "Adjustment Event"), the number of Merger Shares issued in exchange
for each Membership Interests of Dr. Tattoff shall be adjusted correspondingly
to provide to the Members of Dr. Tattoff the right to receive the same economic
effect as contemplated by this Agreement immediately prior to such Adjustment
Event.
2.4. Warrants. At the Effective Time, to the extent not exercised
prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase Membership
Interests of Dr. Tattoff (a "Dr. Tattoff Warrant") set forth in Section 2.4 of
the Dr. Tattoff Disclosure Letter shall be automatically be converted into a
warrant to acquire such number of shares of Company Common Stock (a "Company
Warrant") as the holder of such Dr. Tattoff Warrants would have been entitled to
receive as Merger Shares had such holder exercised such Dr. Tattoff Warrant in
full immediately prior to the Effective Time at an exercise price per share of
Company Common Stock appropriately adjusted such that the aggregate exercise
price for such Company Warrant shall be the same as it was prior to the
Effective Time. At the Effective Time, Dr. Tattoff shall expressly assume the
due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant contained
in, and condition of, the Dr. Tattoff Warrants to be performed and observed by
Dr. Tattoff and all the obligations and liabilities thereunder.
(a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the
Company shall deliver to each holder of a Dr. Tattoff Warrant a notice that
contains a calculation in reasonable detail and accurately reflects the number
of shares of Company Common Stock that each such holder is entitled to receive
upon the exercise of such holder's Dr. Tattoff Warrant and the applicable
adjusted exercise price. Together with such notice, or as part of such notice,
Company shall deliver a duly executed confirmation that Company has expressly
assumed the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every
covenant contained in, and condition of, the applicable Dr. Tattoff Warrant to
be performed and observed by Dr. Tattoff and all the obligations and liabilities
thereunder.
(b) The number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Company Warrants shall be reserved by Company out of authorized
but unissued Company Common Stock for issuance upon exercise in full of all
Company Warrants after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon
the expiration of the Company Warrants, such Company Common Stock reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of the Company Warrants shall no longer be reserved.

any Material Contract of Dr. Tattoff, nor to the Knowledge of Dr. Tattoff does
any condition exist that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute
a default thereunder. To the Knowledge of Dr. Tattoff, no other party to any
such Material Contract of Dr. Tattoff is in default thereunder, nor does any

has had timely filed on its behalf, with the appropriate Taxing authorities all
Tax Returns in respect of Taxes it is required to file. The Tax Returns filed
(including any amendments thereof) are complete and accurate in all material
respects. Dr. Tattoff has not requested any extension of time within which to
file any Tax Return in respect of any Taxes, which Tax Return has not since been
filed in a timely manner. To the Knowledge of Dr. Tattoff, no claim has ever
been made by any Taxing authority in a jurisdiction where Dr. Tattoff does not
file Tax Returns, or has Tax Returns filed on its behalf, that Dr. Tattoff is or
may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction, or liable for Taxes owing to
that jurisdiction.
(b) Payment of Taxes. All Taxes owed by Dr. Tattoff (whether
or not shown as due on any Tax Returns) have been paid in full or adequate
reserves on Dr. Tattoff's books and/or records have been established. Dr.
Tattoff has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid
in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent
contractor, creditor, stockholder, or other third party. Dr. Tattoff has made
all required estimated Tax payments sufficient to avoid any underpayment
penalties. The unpaid Taxes of Dr. Tattoff (A) do not, as of the Closing Date,
exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes
established to reflect the timing differences between book and Tax income) set
forth on the face of Dr. Tattoff's most recent balance sheets (rather than any
notes thereto) and (B) do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of
time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of
Dr. Tattoff in filing, or having filed on its behalf, its Tax Returns. The
charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Dr. Tattoff in respect of any
liability for Taxes (x) based on or measured by net income for any years not
finally determined, (y) with respect to which the applicable statute of
limitations has not expired or (z) that has been previously deferred, are
adequate to satisfy any assessment for such Taxes for any such years.
7
(c) Audits, Investigations or Claims. There is no dispute or
claim which has not been resolved concerning any Tax liability of Dr. Tattoff
either (A) claimed or raised by any Taxing authority in writing or (B) as to
which any of the directors and officers (and employees responsible for Tax
matters) of Dr. Tattoff has Knowledge. There is no currently pending audit of
any Tax Return of Dr. Tattoff by any Taxing authority, and Dr. Tattoff has not
been notified in writing that any Taxing authority intends to audit any Tax
Return of Dr. Tattoff. Dr. Tattoff has not executed any outstanding waivers or
consents regarding the application of the statute of limitations with respect to
any Taxes or Tax Returns.

2006 and 2005 and its unaudited balance sheets and statements of income for the

Dr. Tattoff Financial Statements present fairly the financial condition and
results of operations of Dr. Tattoff at the dates and for the periods covered by
the Dr. Tattoff Financial Statements. Dr. Tattoff represents and warrants that
there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Dr.
Tattoff from that stated in Dr. Tattoff Financial Statements.

thereto comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements, have been prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis throughout
the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and

interim financial statements, to normal, recurring year end adjustments none of
which are or will be material in amount, individually or in the aggregate) the
consolidated financial position of Dr. Tattoff as at the dates thereof and the
consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended.

liabilities that were not fully and adequately reflected or reserved against on
the balance sheet or described in the notes to the audited financial statements
of Dr. Tattoff. Dr. Tattoff has no Knowledge of any circumstance, condition,
event or arrangement that has taken place at any time that may hereafter give
rise to any liabilities.
