RECITALS
A.
TV Goods Holding is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“TV Goods Holding Common Stock”), of which 158.187,510 shares are issued and outstanding. TV Goods Holding is also authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which none are designated or outstanding. TV Goods Holding has reserved 12,000,000 shares of its common stock, pursuant to the terms of its 2009 Stock Option Plan.
TV Goods Holding is conducting a private placement (“TV Goods Holding Private Placement”) to sell up to 15,000,000 Units or $1,500,000, each Unit consisting of: (i) one Share of Common Stock (the “TV Goods Offering Shares”) par value $0.0001 per share; (ii) one Series A Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock exercisable at $0.15 per share; (iii) one Series B Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock exercisable at $0.25 per share; and (iv) one Series C Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock exercisable at $0.50 per share (the Series A Warrant, Series B Warrant and Series C Warrants, collectively the “TV Goods Offering Warrants”) at a price per Unit of $0.10; and in addition, TV Goods Holdings will issue placement agent warrants (“TV Goods Placement Agent Warrants”), to purchase at $0.10 per Unit, a number of Units equal to 10% of the Units sold under the TV Goods Holding Private Placement (the TV Goods Holding Offering Shares, TV Goods Holding Offering Warrants and TV Goods Placement Agent Warrants, together referred to as the “TV Goods Holding Private Placement Securities”).
TV Goods also has issued and outstanding Senior Working Capital Notes in the principal amount of approximately $750,000 (“TV Goods Senior Notes”), each TV Goods Senior Note convertible into shares of TV Goods Common Stock at 66.6% of the price per share of Common Stock of the TV Goods Offering Shares. The TV Goods Senior Notes, TV Goods Offering Warrants and TV Goods Placement Agent Warrants are sometimes collectively referred to as the “TV Goods Conversion Securities”.
The outstanding shares of TV Goods Holding Common Stock, together with the TV Goods Holding Offering Shares are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares”.
B.
H&H is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “H&H Common Stock” or “H&H Common Shares”). There are approximately 5,562,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. H&H is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which are issued or outstanding.

D.
The respective Boards of Directors of H&H, NEWCO and TV Goods Holding (the “Constituent Companies”) deem it advisable and in the best interests of each of the Constituent Companies, and their respective stockholders, to effect a merger transaction in which NEWCO will merge with and into TV Goods Holding, with TV Goods Holding remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of H&H (the “Merger”). In exchange for shares of TV Goods Holding Common Stock, holders of Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares will be entitled to receive such number of shares of H&H Common Stock representing approximately 98% of the outstanding H&H Common Stock on a non diluted basis after giving effect to the Merger.

ARTICLE II.
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES
Section 2.01
Treatment of the Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares
On the Effective Date, each Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Share shall be converted into and exchangeable for one share of H&H Common Stock on the Effective Date. Each share of H&H Common Stock shall be fully paid and non-assessable and contain a legend restricting the transfer thereof in accordance with applicable securities laws. All Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares shall then be canceled and retired, and each certificate representing Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares shall thereafter (i) represent only the right to receive H&H Common Stock issuable in exchange for such Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares upon the surrender of such certificates; and (ii) entitle the holder thereof to vote with respect to, and receive dividends, if any, on such number of shares of H&H Common Stock which such holder is entitled to receive in exchange for such certificates, provided that dividends, if any, shall be paid to such holder, without interest, only upon surrender of certificates.
Section 2.02
Treatment of TV Goods Holding Offering Warrants and TV Goods Placement Agent Warrants
Every TV Goods Holding Offering Warrant and TV Goods Placement Agent Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date of the Merger shall be converted into the right to receive a warrant of H&H based upon the exchange ratio of the TV Goods Holding Common Shares and at a purchase price to be adjusted to reflect the terms of the exchange.
Section 2.03
Treatment of TV Goods Holding Senior Notes
Unless otherwise converted prior to the Effective Date, every TV Goods Senior Note issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger may be converted into H&H Common Stock based upon the exchange ratio of the TV Goods Holding Common Shares and at a conversion price to be adjusted to reflect the terms of the exchange.
Section 2.04
Treatment of NEWCO Shares
Each issued and outstanding share of common stock of NEWCO held by H&H immediately prior to the Effective Date will be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of TV Goods Holding.
Section 2.05
Ownership/Voting Rights of Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares
On and after the Effective Date and until surrendered for exchange, each outstanding certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Date represented Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares (except Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed for all purposes, to evidence ownership of and represent the number of whole H&H Common Stock into which such Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares are convertible pursuant to Section 2.01 above. The record holder of each such outstanding certificate representing Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares shall, after the Effective Date, be entitled to vote the H&H Common Stock into which such Pre-Merger TV Goods
3
Holding Shares shall have been converted or are convertible on any matters on which the holders of record of the H&H Common Stock, as of any date subsequent to the Effective Date, shall be entitled to vote. In any matters related to such certificates of Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares, H&H may conclusively rely upon the record of stockholders maintained by H&H containing the names and addresses of the holders of record of Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares on the Effective Date.
Section 2.06
Dissenting Shares
Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares held by stockholders of TV Goods Holding who have properly exercised and preserved appraisal rights with respect to those shares (“Dissenting Shares”) in accordance with Section 607.1321 of the FBCA shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive H&H Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.05 above, but the holders thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 607.1302 of the FBCA. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for such shares pursuant to Section 607.1302 of the FBCA shall receive payment therefore from TV Goods Holding, as the surviving corporation, in accordance with such laws; provided, however, that if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have effectively withdrawn such holder's demand for appraisal of such shares or lost such holder's right to appraisal and payment of such shares under Section of the FBCA, such holder or holders (as the case may be) shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares and each such share shall thereupon be deemed to have been canceled, extinguished and converted, as of the Effective Date, into and represent the right to receive payment from H&H of H&H Common Shares as provided in Section 2.03 above.
Section 2.07
Exchange Procedures
(a)
H&H shall authorize its transfer agent, or other such transfer agent as agreed to by the Parties, to act as exchange agent hereunder (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purposes of exchanging certificates representing Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares or TV Goods Conversion Securities for shares of H&H Common Stock or H&H warrants or H&H senior notes.
(b)
Promptly after the Effective Date, the Exchange Agent shall mail or cause to be mailed to each record holder of Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares or TV Goods Conversion Securities, as of the Effective Date, a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the certificates representing said Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares or TV Goods Conversion Securities (the “Certificates”) for exchange therefor.
(c)
Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor that number of H&H Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive under Section 2.05 and such Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. If any such shares are to be issued to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of exchange that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the exchange to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or such person shall establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.
(d)
Any portion of the H&H Common Stock made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.07 that remains unclaimed by the holders of Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares 12 months after the date on which Certificates representing such Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares were deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be returned to H&H, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged his, her or its Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares in accordance with this Section 2.07 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to H&H for his, her or its claim for H&H Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and certain dividends or other distributions. Neither H&H nor NEWCO shall be liable to any holder of Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares with respect to any H&H Common Stock delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
4
(e)
If any Certificate representing Pre-Merger TV Goods Holding Shares or TV Goods Conversion Securities 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 H&H, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as H&H may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the consideration payable under Section 2.05 taking account for any stock dividend, stock split or other such action relating to the H&H Common Shares.
ARTICLE III.

Section 3.06

Section 3.07

H&H has filed all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, since June 30, 2008 (together “SEC Reports”). As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports,
6
when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of H&H included in the SEC Reports (“H&H Financial Statements”) complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the H&H as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments. There has been no change in H&H accounting policies since June 30, 2008 except as described in the notes to H&H Financial Statements. Each required form, report and document containing financial statements has been filed with or submitted to the SEC since June 30, 2008 was accompanied by the certifications required to be filed or submitted by H&H’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), and at the time of filing or submission of each such certification, such certification was true and accurate and materially complied with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 3.08
Title to Assets
H&H was, on the date of its most recent H&H Financial Statements, the owner of its inventory as set forth in such H&H Financial Statements and has good and marketable title thereto.
Section 3.09
Accounts Receivable
The accounts receivable set forth in the H&H Financial Statements represent amounts due for goods sold or services rendered by H&H in the ordinary course of business and, except as reserved for in the H&H Financial Statements, H&H believes are collectable in the ordinary course of business, without any claims by the obligor for set-off, deductions or counterclaims.
Section 3.10
Liabilities; Claims
Except as and to the extent set forth in the latest H&H SEC Reports, neither H&H nor any of its subsidiaries had at the date of the latest balance sheet filed with the SEC any liabilities required by generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet of H&H and its subsidiaries. Except as and to the extent set forth in such H&H SEC Reports, since such date neither H&H nor any of its subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities material to the business, operations or financial condition of H&H and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, except liabilities incurred in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent with past practice and liabilities incurred in connection with this Agreement.
Section 3.11
