is entered into effective as of this 17th day of March 1999, by and among
Arianne Co., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter "ACO"); Xxxx X. Xxxx, a
shareholder of ACO (hereinafter "Xxxx"); One Commerce Corporation, a Texas
corporation (hereinafter "OCC"), and the owners of the outstanding shares of
common stock of OCC (hereinafter the "OCC Stockholders").
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the OCC Stockholders own all of the issued and outstanding
common stock of OCC (the "OCC Common Stock"). ACO desires to acquire the OCC
Common Stock solely in exchange for voting common stock of ACO, making OCC a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ACO; and
WHEREAS, the OCC Stockholders (as set forth on Exhibit "A" to be
delivered on or before Closing) desire to acquire voting common stock of ACO
in exchange for the OCC Common Stock, as more fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, for the mutual consideration set out herein and other
good and valuable consideration, the legal sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. PLAN OF REORGANIZATION. It is hereby agreed that the OCC Common
Stock shall be acquired by ACO in exchange solely for ACO common voting stock
(the "ACO Shares"). It is the intention of the parties hereto that all of the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of OCC shall be acquired by
ACO in exchange solely for ACO common voting stock and that this entire
transaction qualify as a corporate reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(B)
and/or Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
related or other applicable sections thereunder.
2. EXCHANGE OF SHARES. ACO and OCC Stockholders agree that on the
Closing Date or at the Closing as hereinafter defined, the OCC Common Stock
shall be delivered at Closing to ACO in exchange for the ACO Shares, after
giving effect to a 1.8 for 1 forward stock split (the "ACO Forward Stock
Split") as to all presently outstanding shares of ACO common stock, as
follows:
(a) At Closing, ACO shall, subject to the conditions set forth herein,
issue an aggregate of 14,545,000 shares of ACO common stock (after giving
effect to the ACO Forward Stock Split) for immediate delivery to the OCC
Stockholders in exchange for ACO Shares. The 14,545,000 shares shall be
inclusive of shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted by
ACO to optionholders of OCC at Closing, if any, in exchange for existing OCC
options as set forth on Exhibit "A".
(b) Each OCC Stockholder shall execute this Agreement or a written
consent to the exchange of their OCC Common Stock for ACO Shares.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed by ACO and OCC this transaction shall close
only in the event ACO is able to acquire at least 80% of the outstanding OCC
Common Stock; however, it is the intent of the parties to have ACO acquire
all of the OCC Common Stock.
3. PRE-CLOSING EVENTS. The Closing is subject to the completion of the
following:
(a) ACO shall have authorized 50,000,000 shares of $.001 par value
common stock and at Closing shall amend its Articles of Incorporation to
authorize 500,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock. The preferred
stock shall be subject to issuance in such series and with such rights,
preferences and designations as determined in the sole discretion of the
board of directors.
(b) ACO shall have received 4,958,333 shares for cancellation leaving
it with 416,666 shares outstanding and shall have then effectuated the ACO
Forward Stock Split at or about the Closing, and shall have 750,000 shares of
its common stock issued and outstanding and no other shares of capital stock
issued or outstanding.
(c) ACO shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of OCC that it
has no material assets and no liabilities contingent or fixed.
4. EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES. As of the Closing Date each of the
following shall occur:
(a) All shares of OCC Common Stock issued and outstanding on the
Closing Date shall be exchanged for the ACO Shares (up to an aggregate amount
of 14,545,000 ACO Shares to be delivered at Closing). All such outstanding
shares of OCC Common Stock shall be deemed, after Closing, to be owned by
ACO. The holders of such certificates previously evidencing shares of OCC
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date shall cease to
have any rights with respect to such shares of OCC Common Stock except as
otherwise provided herein or by law;
(b) Any shares of OCC Common Stock held in the treasury of OCC
immediately prior to the Closing Date shall automatically be canceled and
extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with
respect thereto;
(c) The 750,000 shares of ACO common stock previously issued and
outstanding prior to the Closing, after giving effect to the ACO Forward
Split, will remain outstanding.
5. OTHER EVENTS OCCURRING AT CLOSING. At Closing, the following shall
be accomplished:
2
(a) ACO shall file an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with
the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit "B" effecting an amendment to its Articles of
Incorporation to reflect (1) a name change, (2) authorize 500,000 shares of
preferred stock, and (3) to put of record the ACO Forward Stock Split as set
forth in the attached Exhibit "B".
(b) The resignation of the existing ACO sole officer and director and
appointment of new officers and directors as directed by OCC.
(c) ACO shall have completed a limited offering under Regulation D,
Rule 504, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 1,600,000 shares of its
common stock at $.50 per share. The gross proceeds of this offering (the
"ACO Financing") shall be $800,000, which amount, less agreed upon costs,
shall be delivered to the control of new management of ACO at Closing in good
funds or shall be represented by the conversion of previous loans to OCC
arranged for by Baytree. The ACO Financing shall have been completed in
compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and the
securities sold shall be delivered at Closing to the investors in the ACO
Financing. Persons who have loaned money to OCC, if any, up to $800,000,
shall be given the opportunity to convert the principal of said loans to the
purchase of shares in the limited offering prior to Closing upon the same
terms as other investors in the limited offering.
(d) It is recognized by the parties hereto that OCC entered into an
agreement, including all amendments thereto (the "Baytree Agreement") dated
March 5, 1999, with Baytree Capital Associates, LLC ("Baytree") wherein
Baytree agreed to identify a public company to be involved in a "reverse
merger" with OCC, and that ACO is the public company agreed to by Baytree and
OCC. Under said Baytree Agreement, at Closing of the transactions described
herein, ACO shall issue 20,000 shares of its common stock (after given effect
to the ACO Forward Stock Split) to Baytree. These shares are deemed to be
covered by the defined term "ACO Shares" as set forth herein for purposes of
all representations and warranties of ACO and the legal opinion given on behalf
of ACO herein. Out of the proceeds of the ACO Financing (as further defined
herein) there shall be paid at Closing, a non-accountable expense allowance
of $10,000 to Baytree and the fees and reasonable disbursements of Acquiror's
legal counsel not to exceed $35,000.00 (to be paid from the proceeds of the
ACO Financing). Furthermore, ACO recognizes and hereby assumes, at Closing,
the obligations of OCC set forth in the Baytree Agreement including the
obligation to register shares of its common stock issued to Baytree hereunder
at the request of Baytree in accordance with the express terms and conditions
of said Baytree Agreement including "Piggyback" registration rights.
(e) ACO shall issue 85,000 shares of its common stock to X.X. Xxxxxx,
Inc.
6. DELIVERY OF SHARES. On or as soon as practicable after the Closing

Common Stock, against delivery of certificates representing the ACO Shares

FORM OF INVESTMENT LETTER
INVESTMENT LETTER
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ARIANNE CO. ("CORPORATION")
The undersigned hereby represents to the Corporation, that (1) the
shares of the Corporation's common stock (the "Securities") which are being
acquired by the undersigned are being acquired for his own account and for
investment and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof;
(2) the undersigned will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the
securities except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"); and (3) he is aware that the Securities are "restricted
securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 or the General Rules and
Regulations under the Act.
The undersigned acknowledges that he has been afforded access to
disclosure documents and information regarding the Corporation as requested
by the undersigned.
The undersigned further acknowledges that he has had an opportunity to
ask questions of and receive answers from duly designated representatives of
the Corporation concerning the terms and conditions pursuant to which the
Securities are being purchased. The undersigned acknowledges that he has been
afforded an opportunity to examine such documents and other information which
he has requested for the purpose of verifying the information set forth in
the documents referred to above.
The undersigned acknowledges and understands that the Securities are
unregistered and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
The undersigned further acknowledges that he is fully aware of the
applicable limitations on the resale of the Securities. These restrictions
for the most part are set forth in Rule 144. The Rule permits sales of
"restricted securities" upon compliance with the requirements of such Rule.
If the Rule is available to the undersigned, the undersigned may make only
routine sales of securities, in limited amounts, in accordance with the terms
and conditions of that Rule.
The Company is the only person which may register its Securities under
the Act and it currently is not contemplating registering any of its
Securities. Furthermore, the Company has not made any representations,
warranties or covenants to the undersigned regarding registration of the
Securities or compliance with any exemption under the Act.
By reason of my knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters in general, and investments in particular, I am capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of an investment by me in the Securities.
I am capable of bearing the economic risks of an investment in the
Securities. I fully understand the speculative nature of the Securities.
My present financial condition is such that I am under no present or
contemplated future need to dispose of any portion of the Securities to
satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need, or indebtedness.
Any and all certificates representing the Securities, and any and all
securities issued in replacement thereof or in exchange therefor, shall bear
the following legend, which the undersigned has read and understands:
The shares represented by this Certificate have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and are "restricted securities" as
that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The shares may not be
offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Act or pursuant to an exemption
from registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be
established to the satisfaction of the Company.
The undersigned further agrees that the Corporation shall have the right
to issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent and acknowledges
that the Corporation has informed the undersigned of its intention to issue
such instructions.
Very truly yours,
