AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION is entered into as of this 14th
day of February, 2002 by and between WAVE POWER. NET, INC. (the "Company"), a
Delaware corporation, whose address is 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxx 00000, and 3 Strikes (USA), Inc. ("Three Strikes"), a New York
corporation, whose address is 00 Xxxxxxxx Xx., Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000.
RECITAL
A. The Company and Three Strikes desire to effect a Type B reorganization
under Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, on
the terms and conditions set forth below, whereby the Company will acquire all
of the issued and outstanding shares of Three Strikes' common stock by issuing
solely in exchange therefore to Three Strikes' shareholders, shares of the
Company's Common Capital Stock (the "Company Stock").
NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual
representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
I. BASIC TRANSACTION.
1.1 Plan of Reorganization. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, the parties to this Agreement shall effect a Type B
reorganization (the "Reorganization") whereby all of the outstanding shares of
Three Strikes' common stock will be exchanged for 20,000,000 post reverse split
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Reorganization shall take place on the
Closing Date (hereinafter defined in Section 1.2 of this Agreement) and shall be
accomplished in accordance with Article V below.
1
1.2 Closing. The closing of the Reorganization and exchange contemplated
and provided for in this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take at a time and
place to be mutually agreed upon by the parties on the third business day
following the satisfaction or waiver or all conditions to the obligations of the
parties to consummate the subject reorganization and exchange (other than the
conditions with respect to actions the respective parties will take at the
Closing itself) or such other date as the parties may mutually determine (the
"Closing Date"). It is the parties intention to close this transaction as soon
as practicable, however, the Closing Date shall occur no later than March 1,
2002, absent regulatory delays or breach.
1.3 Terms of Exchange. On the Closing Date the Company shall:
a. Will issue ratably and cause to be delivered to the Three Strikes'
shareholders certificates or rights representing 100,000,000 pre-split
shares or its equivalent post reverse split shares of the Company's Common
Capital Stock, in consideration for the transfer to the Company by the
Three Strikes' shareholders of all the common shares of the capital stock
of Three Strikes issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date. No other
shares of any preference or type of Three Strikes shares are outstanding on
the date of this Agreement or shall be outstanding on the Closing Date; and
b. The parties agree that a 1:5 reverse stock split of the shares of the
Company shall occur on or after the closing inasmuch as the Company has
only 75,000,000 shares authorized and pursuant to the Agreement of the
Parties, Three Strikes' shareholders are to receive the equivalent of
100,000,000 pre-reverse split common shares which cannot be accomplished
without shareholders approval of a reverse stock split. Due to the time
delay in obtaining shareholder approval, the Company and Three Strikes are
contemplating closing the transaction by the issuance of all of the
remaining authorized common stock, which would provide Three Strikes with
approximately 56,000,000 shares of common stock or approximately 74% of the
shares of the Company. The Company and its principal shareholders have
consented to the reverse stock split and the issuance of additional shares
of common stock to the Three Strikes' shareholders to effectuate the post
reverse split total of 20,000,000 shares to Three Strikes' shareholders.
c. The Three Strikes' shareholders shall, in consideration for their
receipt of the shares of the Company's Common Capital Stock, transfer and
deliver to the Company certificates representing all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Three Strikes' common stock owned by them. The
Company shall receive good and marketable title to all of Three Strikes'
issued and outstanding common stock free and clear of all liens, mortgages,
pledges, claims or other rights or encumbrances whatever, whether disclosed
or undisclosed.
1.4 Restrictions on Transfer. The Company's Common Capital Stock, when
issued and delivered hereunder, shall not be registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, nor shall the Three Strikes' shareholders be granted any
registration rights as to such shares. Each certificate representing shares of
the Company's Common Capital Stock will bear a customary restrictive legend
which states in effect that such shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 and consequently may not be transferred, assigned, sold
or hypothecated unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or, in the
opinion of Company's counsel, an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933 is available for such transaction.

breach hereof, this transaction may be unwound with all parties concerned
returned to their status quo. The Company must notify Three Strikes, in
writing, of this breach, and if the breach has continued without cure for a
period of 7 days after the notice of breach, or (2) if the Closing shall
not have occurred on or before March 1, 2002 by reason of the failure of
any condition precedent under Section 4.1 (a-h, inclusive) hereof (unless
the failure results primarily from the Company breaching any
representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement or unless
delayed by regulatory approval beyond the control of the Parties); and
(c) Three Strikes and the Three Strikes' shareholders may terminate this
agreement by giving written notice to the Company at any time prior to the
Closing Date (1) in the event the Company has breached any material
representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any
material respect, Three Strikes and the Three Strikes' shareholders have
notified the Company of this breach, and the breach has continued without
cure for a period of 7 days after the notice of breach, or (2) if the
Closing shall not have occurred on or before March 1, 2002 by reason of the
failure of any condition precedent under Section 4.2 (a-h, inclusive)
hereof (unless the failure results primarily from the Shareholders and/or
Three Strikes breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained
in this Agreement).
(d) It is the parties intention to close this transaction as soon as
practicable, however, the Closing Date shall occur no later than March 1,
2002, absent regulatory delays. At the Company's option, per written notice
to the last known addresses of Three Strikes, should the closing not take
place on or before March 1, 2002 as a result of any material direct or
indirect acts, intentional or unintentional acts, or acts of omission which
c constitute a breach of this Agreement by Three Strikes, the transaction
may be unwound with all parties concerned returned to their status quo. Any
costs borne by the Company as a result of such a breach, will be paid by
Three Strikes except in the event of Company or its shareholders delay the
12
closing (with or without otherwise breaching this Agreement) or in the
event the closing is delayed due to regulatory matters beyond the control
of Three Strikes. Included in such regulatory delay issues, but not limited
thereto, are the requirements of filing a 14(c) notification and 14(c)
final notice which require an opinion of counsel.
6.2 Effect of Termination. If any party hereto terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 6.1(a) above, all rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any party to the other party
(except for any liability of any Party then in breach). Should this transaction
be unilaterally terminated without cause by Three Strikes, as set forth in
Section 6.1(b), any costs borne by the Company as a result, will be paid by
Three Strikes, except in the event of Company or its shareholders delay the
closing (with or without otherwise breaching this Agreement) or in the event the
closing is delayed due to regulatory matters beyond the control of Three
Strikes. Included in such regulatory delay issues, but not limited thereto, are
the requirements of filing a 14(c) notification and 14(c) final notice which
require an opinion of counsel.
