hereof. This Exchange Offer shall be deemed accepted upon execution
and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholders.
1

to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, (i) the
Stockholders shall contribute, transfer, assign and deliver to Parent, and
Parent agrees to acquire from such Stockholders, all of the outstanding Shares
owned by them as specifically set forth in Section 1.3(a), and (ii) solely in
consideration and exchange therefor, Parent shall issue to the Stockholders an

shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio as provided
for in Section 1.3(a) hereof.
(c) As

1.2 Certificate of
Incorporation, By-laws, Directors and Officers.

certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of Parent Common
Stock issuable pursuant to Sections 1.1 and 1.3 hereof, in exchange for all
outstanding Shares. The shares of Parent Common Stock evidenced by the
certificates shall be registered in the names of the Stockholders and shall be
in the denominations for each of them set forth opposite their respective names
in Section 1.3(a).
3
(b) Promptly
after the Closing and upon surrender of a certificate or certificates
representing the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Closing
(or an affidavit and indemnification in form reasonably acceptable to counsel
for Parent stating that such Stockholder has lost their certificate or
certificates or that such have been destroyed), Parent shall issue to the record
holder of the Shares so surrendering such certificate or certificates, (y) in
the case of the Management Stockholders (as defined in Section 8 hereof), a
certificate or certificates registered in the name of each such Management
Stockholder representing an aggregate of 740,000 shares of Parent Common Stock

Stockholder representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such
Stockholder shall be entitled to receive as set forth in Section 1.3(a) hereof
(less, in the case of the Management Stockholders, that number of such shares
registered in the name of each such Management Stockholder referred to in clause
(y) above).
(c) The
certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in favor of
the Management Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.3(a) hereof and referred to in
Section 1.4(b)(y) hereof shall be delivered to Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP (the
“Escrow
Agent”), registered in the name of each such Management Stockholder,
accompanied by a stock power duly executed in blank and with signature medallion
guaranteed by a national bank or trust company, and held in escrow and dealt
with in accordance with the terms of the Performance Milestone Shares Escrow
Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the
Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Escrow
Agreement”).
1.5 Warrants.
(a) At
the Closing, pursuant to consents from the requisite percentage of holders
thereof obtained by the Company prior to the Closing, all outstanding warrants
issued by the Company to purchase Shares (the “Company Warrants”)
will either be exchanged for or converted into Warrants issued by Parent, or
amended to provide that, at the Closing, each Company Warrant so exchanged,
converted or amended shall become, in each case, a warrant to acquire the same
number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such Company Warrants
would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Exchange had such holder
exercised such Company Warrants in full immediately prior to the Closing at a
price of $0.65 per share for 1,120,000 shares of Parent Common Stock and $2.50
per share for 40,000 shares of Parent Common Stock. Schedule 1.5(a)
attached hereto sets forth the name of each holder of Company Warrants (the
“Parent
Warrants”), the type of Company Warrant held by such holder, the
aggregate number of Shares which each such person may purchase pursuant to the
exercise of its Company Warrants and the aggregate number of shares of Parent
Common Stock which each such person may purchase upon exercise of Parent
Warrants acquired upon such exchange, conversion or amendment. By its
signature hereunder, Parent expressly assumes (a) the obligation to deliver
Parent Warrants at the Closing to the holders of Company Warrants who have
exchanged their Company Warrants for Parent Warrants and (b) the obligation to
issue Parent Common Stock to the holders of Parent Warrants, all in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 1.5(a). As of the date hereof,
there are outstanding Company Warrants which are exercisable into 1,160,000
shares of Parent Common stock pursuant to this Section 1.5(a).
4
(b) As
soon as practicable after the Closing, Parent shall deliver to the holders of
Company Warrants new warrant agreements and/or warrants evidencing such holders’
rights to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock upon the exercise of the Parent
Warrants.
(c) Parent
shall take all action necessary and appropriate, on or prior to the Closing, to
authorize and reserve a number of shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient for
issuance upon the exercise of Parent Warrants following the Closing as
contemplated by this Section 1.5.
(d) Other
than the Company Warrants, all options, warrants and rights to purchase Shares
outstanding as of the Effective Date will be exercised or terminated prior to or
effective upon the Closing, and Parent shall not assume or have any obligation
with respect to such options, warrants or rights.
1.6 Parent Common
Stock. Parent
agrees that it will cause the Parent Common Stock to be issued in exchange for
the Shares at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3(a) to be available for such
purpose. Parent further covenants that immediately prior to the
Closing there will be no more than 1,200,000 shares of Parent Common Stock
issued and outstanding, not including the shares of Parent Common Stock to be
issued in the Private Placement and that no other common or preferred stock or
equity securities or any options, warrants, rights or other agreements or
instruments convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common or preferred
stock or other equity securities shall be issued or outstanding, except as
described herein.
1.7 Tax
Consequences. The
parties to this Agreement intend and desire that, for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes, the Exchange to take place pursuant to the Exchange Offer shall
constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.
1.8 Further
Assurances. From
time to time, from and after the Closing, as and when reasonably requested by
Parent or its successors or assigns, the proper officers and directors of the
Company as of the Closing shall, for and on behalf and in the name of the
Company or otherwise, execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale,
assignments and other instruments and shall take or cause to be taken such
further actions as Parent or its successors or assigns reasonably may deem
necessary or desirable in order to confirm or record or otherwise transfer to
Parent title to and possession of all of the properties, rights, privileges,
powers, franchises and immunities of the Company or otherwise to carry out fully
the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
5
2. Representations and
Warranties of the Company
. The
Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:
2.1 Organization, Standing,
Subsidiaries, Etc.
(a) The
Company is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the
laws of the State of Maryland, and has all requisite power and authority
(corporate and other) to carry on its business, to own or lease its properties
and assets, to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the terms
hereof. Copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the
Company that have been delivered to Parent prior to the execution of this
Agreement are true and complete and have not since been amended or
repealed.
(b) The
Company has no subsidiaries or direct or indirect interest (by way of stock
ownership or otherwise) in any firm, corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, association or business.
2.2 Qualification. The
Company is duly qualified to conduct business as a foreign corporation and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction wherein the nature of its activities or its
properties owned or leased makes such qualification necessary, except where the
failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the
condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, liabilities, business
operations, results of operations or prospects of the Company taken as a whole
(the “Condition of the
Company”). Schedule 2.2 sets
forth a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company is so qualified to
conduct business.
2.3 Capitalization of the
Company. The
authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 10,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock, and the Company has no authority to issue any other
capital stock. There are 7,090,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock issued and outstanding, and such Shares are duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and none of such Shares have been issued
in violation of the preemptive rights of any person. The offer,
issuance and sale of such Shares were (a) exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, (b) registered or
qualified (or were exempt from registration or qualification) under the
registration or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities
laws and (c) accomplished in conformity with all other applicable securities
laws. None of such Shares are subject to a right of withdrawal or a
right of rescission under any federal or state securities or blue sky
law. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.5, the
Company has no outstanding options, rights or commitments to issue Shares or
other Equity Securities of the Company, and there are no outstanding securities
convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for Shares or other Equity
Securities of the Company.
2.4 Indebtedness. The
Company has no Indebtedness for Borrowed Money, except as disclosed on the
Balance Sheet and Schedule
2.12.
2.5 Company
Stockholders. Schedule 2.5 hereto
contains a true and complete list of the names and addresses of the record owner
of all of the outstanding Shares of the Company, together with the number and
percentage of securities held. To the knowledge of the Company,
except as described in Schedule 2.5, there
is no voting trust, agreement or arrangement among any of the beneficial holders
of Shares affecting the nomination or election of directors or the exercise of
the voting rights of Shares.
6
2.6 Corporate Acts and
Proceedings. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement
(collectively, the “Transaction
Documents”) have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the
Company and have been approved by the unanimous vote of the Stockholders, and
all of the corporate acts and other proceedings required for the due and valid
authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents
have been validly and appropriately taken. No holder of Shares has
requested or perfected appraisal, dissenter’s or other similar rights under
Section 3.202 of the Maryland Law.
2.7 Compliance with Laws and
Instruments. The
business, products and operations of the Company have been and are being
conducted in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules
and regulations, except for such violations thereof for which the penalties, in
the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the Condition of the
Company. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of
the Transaction Documents and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (a) will not require any

proceedings relating to Taxes or any Tax Returns of the Company now pending, and
the Company has not received any notice of any proposed audits, investigations,
claims or administrative proceedings relating to Taxes or any Tax
Returns. The Company is not obligated to make a payment, or is a

expired. The Company (i) is not a party to, is bound by or has any
obligation under, any Tax sharing agreement, Tax indemnification agreement or

to any person as a result of, or pursuant to, any such Tax Sharing
Agreements.

or known by competitors (collectively, “Intellectual
Property”) required for or incident to the development, operation and
sale of all products and services sold by the Company, free and clear of any
right, Lien or claim of others; provided, however, the
possibility exists that other Persons, completely independent of the Company or
its employees or agents, could have developed Intellectual Property similar or
identical to that of the Company. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.16(b)
hereof, the Company is not aware of any such development of substantially
identical trade secrets or technical information by others.

the cost of providing for other liabilities of such Employee Benefit
Plan.

other encumbrances, except Permitted Liens and such ordinary and customary

refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and the Company has no
reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when the same shall expire upon terms at least as favorable to
those currently in effect, other than possible increases in premiums that do not
result from any act or omission of the Company. No suit, proceeding
or action or, to the knowledge of the Company, threat of suit, proceeding or
