ARTICLE II.

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

2.1 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or Company or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub or Company:

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent or Company, if any (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cancelled Shares”) will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefore.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.3 below, each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive: (i) one (the “Exchange Ratio”) ordinary share of Parent (the “Merger Consideration”) and (ii) any cash in lieu of fractional Parent ordinary shares payable pursuant to Section 2.1(e).

(c) Cancellation of Company Shares. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and all shares of Company Common Stock will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and each holder of: (i) a certificate formerly representing any shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”); or (ii) any book-entry shares which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Book-Entry Share”) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive (A) the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, and (B) any cash in lieu of fractional Parent ordinary shares payable pursuant to Section 2.1(e).

(d) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers, and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation, such that the Surviving Corporation will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(e) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of ordinary shares in the Parent shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b), and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of ordinary shares in the Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of ordinary share in the Parent (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock exchanged by such holder) shall in lieu thereof, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, receive in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the last reported sale price of Company Common Stock on the OTCQB on the last complete trading day prior to the date of the Effective Time.

2.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Exchange Agent; Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration for: the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares. At or promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates representing the Parent ordinary shares to be issued as Merger Consideration (or make appropriate alternative arrangements if uncertificated Parent ordinary shares represented by book-entry shares will be issued); and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(e). Such cash and shares of Parent ordinary shares deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2(a), are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Procedures for Surrender; No Interest. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time, whose Company Common Stock was converted pursuant to Section 2.1(b) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Surviving Corporation may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(b) in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share, and any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(e) upon: (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate; or (ii) receipt of an “agent's message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares; in each case, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, each Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Share or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, shall immediately be cancelled.

(c) Investment of Exchange Fund. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the cash in the Exchange Fund will be invested by the Exchange Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation. No losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund will affect the amounts payable to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs.

(d) Payments to Non-Registered Holders. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to any individual, corporation, limited or general partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, trust, association, joint venture, Governmental Entity, or other entity or group (which term will include a “group” as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (each, a “Person”) other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that: (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred; and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Full Satisfaction. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock six months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.2 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat, or other similar laws), as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Merger Consideration without any interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock two years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

2.3 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company or ordinary shares in the Parent shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company or Parent as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Exchange Ratio and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit Parent or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

2.4 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article II such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any tax laws. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

2.5 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, if required by Xxxxxx, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article II.

2.6 Treatment of Stock Options and other Stock-Based Compensation.

(a) Company Stock Options. As of the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, or any other Person, be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into a Parent Stock Option in accordance with this Section 2.6. Each such Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each such Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall be an option to acquire that number of whole ordinary shares of Parent stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of: (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option; and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Parent ordinary shares (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Stock Option by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, that the exercise price and the number of Parent ordinary shares subject to the Parent Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and, in the case of Company Stock Options, if any, that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(b) Company Restricted Shares. The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock, if any, subject to vesting, repurchase, or other lapse of restrictions (a “Company Restricted Share”) that is outstanding under any Company Stock Plan as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into a restricted Parent ordinary share in accordance with this Section 2.6. Each restricted Parent ordinary share shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Restricted Share immediately before the Effective Time (including vesting, repurchase, or other lapse restrictions). As of the Effective Time, each such holder of Company Restricted Shares so assumed and converted will receive that number of whole restricted Parent ordinary shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of: (i) the number of shares of Company Restricted Shares held by that holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

(c) Resolutions and Other Company Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board, and the compensation committee of such board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of paragraphs Section 2.6(a) and Section 2.6(b) of this Section 2.6.

(d) Parent Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all such actions as may be necessary to allow for the issuance of a number of ordinary shares in the Parent at least equal to the number of ordinary shares in the Parent that will be subject to Parent equity awards as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 2.6.

2.7 Dissenters’ Rights. Dissenting shareholders of Company shall have the dissenters rights accorded to them under the NRS. All amounts that are finally determined to be due to holders of issued and outstanding Company Shares pursuant to statutory dissenters’ rights effectively exercised by them shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation. The holders of Company Shares shall be advised of their statutory dissenters’ rights and provided a copy of the statutes setting forth their dissenters rights as set forth in the NRS. Any Company Shares held by a holder that did not vote or consent in writing to the Merger and who properly demands payment for their Company Shares in accordance with the NRS (each a “Dissenting Shareholder”) shall not be converted as set forth in Section 2.1 above, but instead shall be converted into the right to receive consideration to be due to a Dissenting Shareholder pursuant to the NRS, unless such holder fails to protect or withdraws or otherwise loses his dissenters’ rights. In the event that any dissenters’ rights are not exercised by a holder of the Company Shares, are otherwise not prosecuted to a conclusion, or are dismissed for any other reason then, and in that event, the holder of such Company Shares shall no longer be deemed to a Dissenting Shareholder and such holder’s Company Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time as set forth in Section 2.1 above.

8.5 Interpretation; Construction.

(a) The headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” A reference in this Agreement to $ or dollars is to U.S. dollars. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

8.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
