of the Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, restrictions,
disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

issued and outstanding. Contemporaneously with the Merger, the Parent
shall effect various corporate actions, including issuance of shares pursuant

EFFECT
OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK;
ISSUANCE
OF PARENT SHARE CERTIFICATES
4.1 Effect
on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any holder
of any capital stock of the Company:
(a) Merger
Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Merger
Consideration” shall mean one (1) share of common stock, par value$.001 per
share, of the Parent (“Parent Common Stock”).
(b) Exchange
Ratio. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of the holders thereof:
|
4.2
|
Any
shares of any class of capital stock of the Company held by the Company
as
treasury shares shall be canceled.
|
|
4.3
|
The issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Company Common
Stock”), other than shares of Company Common Stock, if any, for which
dissenters’ rights are perfected in compliance with applicable law, and
the Company’s convertible notes, shall be converted into one (1) share
of Parent common stock (the “Parent Common Stock”) for each
share of Company Common Stock held by the Company’s shareholder or to
which the Company’s noteholders are entitled on conversion of their notes.
All other outstanding rights, warrants or options, vested or unvested,
to
acquire Company Common Stock (“Stock Purchase Rights”) shall be
automatically converted into Stock Purchase Rights of the
Parent.
|
(iii) Each
issued and outstanding share of capital stock of the Parent at the Effective
Time shall continue to remain outstanding after the Effective Time.
(iv) The
Parent shall assume the Company’s Stock Plan (the “Company Plan”), and each
outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock set forth on
Schedule 4.1(b) to the Disclosure Schedule, whether or not vested or exercisable
(each, an “Option”), shall be assumed by the Parent and shall constitute an
option to acquire, on the same vesting terms, and on substantially the same
other terms and conditions as were applicable under such assumed Option, one
(1)
share of Parent Common Stock.
(v) Holders
of shares of Company Common Stock who have complied with all the requirements
for perfecting dissenters’ rights, as required under the FBCA, shall be entitled
to their rights under the FBCA with respect to such shares (the “Dissenting
Shares”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any holder of Dissenting Shares
shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise)
the
right to dissent, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence
of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and
represent only the right to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock to which
such holder is then entitled under this Agreement and the FBCA, without interest
thereon and upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Dissenting
Shares held by a Shareholder who has perfected dissenter’s rights for such
shares in accordance with the FBCA shall not be converted in Parent Common
Stock
pursuant to this Section 4.1(b)(v).
(vi) If,
prior to the Effective Time, the Parent recapitalizes through a split-up of
its
outstanding shares of capital stock into a greater number, or a combination
of
its outstanding shares of capital stock into a lesser number, reorganizes,
reclassifies or otherwise changes its outstanding shares of capital stock into
the same or a different number of shares of other classes of capital stock,
or
declares a dividend on its outstanding shares of capital stock payable in shares
or securities convertible into shares, the number of shares of Parent Common
Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock are to be converted, and
the
number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each
assumed Option will be adjusted appropriately so as to maintain the
proportionate interests of the holders of the Company Common Stock and Options
and the holders of shares of capital stock of the Parent.
(c) Restricted
Stock. The shares of Parent common stock issued to shareholders of the
Company as Preferred Merger Consideration and Common Merger Consideration will
be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange
Commission Rule 144.

Authorized Capital of Surviving Corporation. Upon completion of the Merger,
the authorized capital stock of the Surviving Corporation will consist of one
hundred million (100,000,000) shares of Common Stock, no par value per share,
one share of which will be validly issued and outstanding and the Parent will
be
the sole shareholder of the Surviving Corporation.
(f) Post-Merger
Capitalization of Parent. The authorized capital stock of the Parent will
consist of (i) Thirty-million Five-hundred Nineteen-thousand Eight-hundred
Sixty-two (30,519,862) shares of Parent Common Stock, $.001 par value per
share. Exhibit 1.4 sets forth a capitalization table of the
post-Merger capitalization of the Company. The parties confirm their
understanding that the number of the Parent’s outstanding post-Merger shares
will be adjusted for conversion of Company Common Stock and convertible debt
issued to investors in the Company concurrently with the Closing, as more
particularly set forth in Exhibit 1.4 of the Disclosure Schedule.
(a) Immediately
after the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall be cancelled
without any requirement of their surrender by holders of those shares to the
Surviving Corporation of the certificates which immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Shares. The Parent shall
deliver to such holders their Parent Common Stock.
(b) Transfers.
From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock
transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate
is
presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent for transfer, it shall be
cancelled and exchanged for Common Merger Consideration, to which the holder
thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article IV.
4.5 Appraisal
Rights. No Person who has perfected a demand for appraisal rights
pursuant to FBCA Sections 607.1301 etseq. shall be entitled to
receive the Common Merger Consideration or any dividends or other distributions
pursuant to this Article IV unless and until the holder thereof shall have
effectively withdrawn the demand for, or otherwise lost such holder’s right to,
appraisal under the FBCA, and any Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled
to
receive only the payment provided by the FBCA with respect to Shares owned
by
such Dissenting Shareholder. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term
“Person” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit),
general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture,
estate, trust, association, organization, governmental entity or other entity
of
any kind or nature. If any Dissenting Shareholder shall have effectively
withdrawn the demand for, or otherwise lost the right to, appraisal with respect
to any Shares, such Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the amount to which such
shareholder would be
entitled pursuant to this Article IV. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt
notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such
demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable law received
by
the Company relating to shareholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the
opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand
for appraisal under the FBCA. The Company shall provide such notices and take
such actions as are required by law with respect to the administration of the
appraisal rights provided pursuant to the FBCA.

of Stock Plans, Phantom Shares and Share Loans.

of Options and Warrants. At the Effective Time, each debenture, warrant,
option and other Stock Purchase Rights with respect to shares of Company Common
Stock granted and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (a
“Company Option”), vested or unvested, shall be converted into a like right to
purchase the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock on the same terms
and
conditions as such Stock Purchase Rights. The debentures, notes, warrants,
options or other Stock Purchase Rights that will be granted and exercisable
for
shares of Parent Common Stock at the Effective Time, in the aggregate, are
set
forth on Schedule 4.1(a) to this Agreement.
