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 AAEX, Merger Sub or AMI or the holder of any capital stock of AAEX, Merger Sub or AMI:

(a)

Cancellation of Certain AMI Common Stock. Each share of AMI Common Stock (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) that is owned by AAEX, Merger Sub or AMI (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (if any) will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b)

Conversion of AMI Common Stock. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares to be cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 2.1(a), will be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of AAEX Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”) equal to the Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio is 2.603.

(c)

Cancellation of Shares. At the Effective Time, all Shares will no longer be outstanding and all Shares will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and, subject to Section 2.3, each holder of a certificate formerly representing any such Shares (each, a “Certificate”) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

(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 of the Surviving Corporation.

2.2 Payment.

(a)

Prior to the Effective Time, AAEX shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to AMI (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of delivering the Merger Consideration for: (i) the Certificates, or (ii) book-entry shares which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the Shares (the “Book-Entry Shares”). On and after the Effective Time, AAEX shall deposit, or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit, with the Exchange Agent, certificates of AAEX Common Stock representing the aggregate Merger Consideration that is issuable in respect of all of the Shares represented by the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares (the “Exchange Fund”) in amounts and at the times necessary for such issuance. If for any reason (including losses) the Exchange Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of Shares shall be entitled under Section 3.1(b), AAEX shall take all steps necessary to enable or cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit in trust additional certificates with the Exchange Agent sufficient to make all issuances required under this Agreement, and AAEX and the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be liable for the payment thereof. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the delivery to former AMI Stockholders of the Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time, AAEX shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each record holder of Shares at the Effective Time AAEX Common Stock representing the Merger Consideration payable to each such holder of Shares.

(b)

Each holder of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of AMI Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share. At the Effective Time pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall immediately be deemed to have been cancelled without further action by any party.

(c)

No fractional shares of AAEX Common Stock shall be issued. If the aggregate number of shares of AAEX Common Stock that a holder of AMI Common Stock is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1 is (i) a fractional share representing 0.5 or more of a share, the number of shares of AAEX Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive will be rounded up to the next whole number or (ii) a fractional share representing less than 0.5 of a share, the number of shares of AAEX Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive will be rounded down to the next whole number and no additional compensation will be paid to in respect of such fractional share.

(d)

The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into AAEX Common Stock or AMI Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to AAEX Common Stock or AMI Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(e)

All Merger Consideration issued upon the conversion of Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares formerly represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation.

(f)

Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to AAEX, upon demand, and any former holder of Shares shall thereafter look only to AAEX for issuance of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AAEX shall not be liable to any holder of Shares 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 two (2) 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 AAEX free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

2.3 No Appraisal Rights. No appraisal rights shall be available to holders of shares of AMI Common Stock in connection with the Merger unless required by Section 0-000-000 of the CBCA.

2.4 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, AAEX, 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 2 such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, AAEX, 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, AAEX, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

2.5 AMI Options. All options to acquire shares of AMI Common Stock (collectively, “AMI Options”) outstanding, if any, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, at the Effective Time, shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the AMI Options shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of AMI or the holder thereof, be substituted or assumed by AAEX in such manner that Section 424(a) of the Code or the treatment under Treasury Regulation 1.409A - 1(b)(v)(D) so provides or permits such treatment. From and after the Effective Time, all references to AMI in all agreements evidencing the AMI Options, or any plans pursuant to which the AMI Options were issued “AMI Plans”), shall be deemed to refer to AAEX, which shall have assumed the AMI Options and AMI Plans as of the Effective Time by virtue of this Agreement and without any further action. Each AMI Option assumed by AAEX (each, a “Substitute Option”) shall be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as under the applicable agreement evidencing the AMI Options and AMI Plans, to the extent applicable, except that (A) each such Substitute Option shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, that whole number of shares of AAEX Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of AMI Common Stock subject to such AMI Option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio; and (B) the exercise price per share of AAEX Common Stock shall be an amount equal to the exercise price per share of AMI Common Stock subject to such AMI Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded upward to the nearest full cent). Such Substitute Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as such AMI Option. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, AAEX shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each holder of a Substitute Option an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant thereto and such Substitute Option shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (including any antidilution provisions, and subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.5 after giving effect to the Merger). AAEX shall comply with the terms of all such Substitute Options. AAEX shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of AAEX Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Substitute Options pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 2.5. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the shares of AAEX Common Stock subject to Substitute Options will be covered by an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (but only to the extent such Substitute Options so qualify), or any successor form, or another appropriate form, and AAEX shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements for so long as Substitute Options remain outstanding. On or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, each of AAEX and AMI shall take all necessary action such that, with respect to each member of the AMI Board and each employee of AMI that is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the acquisition by such person of AAEX Common Stock or Substitute Options in the Merger and the disposition by any such person of AAEX Common Stock, AMI Common Stock or AMI Options pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be exempt from the short-swing profit liability rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder.

2.6 Warrants and Other Rights. AAEX and AMI shall cause outstanding warrants or other rights to acquire shares of AMI Common Stock to be exchanged at the Effective Time for warrants or other rights to acquire shares of AAEX Common Stock. Each AMI Right so exchanged (each, a “Substitute Right”) shall be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as under the applicable agreement evidencing the AMI Right, except that (A) each such Substitute Right shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, that whole number of shares of AAEX Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of AMI Common Stock subject to such AMI Right multiplied by the Exchange Ratio; and (B) the exercise price per share of AAEX Common Stock shall be an amount equal to the exercise price per share of AMI Common Stock subject to such AMI Right in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded downward to the nearest full cent). AAEX shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of AAEX Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Substitute Rights pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 2.6.
