Plan of Merger of even date herewith (the "MERGER AGREEMENT"), in the form of
EXHIBIT A attached hereto, which provides, among other things, for the merger
("Merger") pursuant to the applicable laws of the States of Delaware and
Illinois;
WHEREAS, the parties hereto believe it is desirable to enter
into this Agreement in order to set forth the representations and warranties
made by Parent and the Company in connection with the Merger, to set forth
certain covenants and agreements of the parties and to set forth various other
provisions relating to the Merger and the relative rights and obligations of the
parties with respect thereto;
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire that the Merger qualify as

WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms are defined in the Merger
Agreement and shall have the same meaning when used in this Agreement unless
otherwise defined herein or in Section 10.15, the definitions of such terms
being incorporated herein as if set forth in full herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree
as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
SECTION 1.1 THE MERGER. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and as more particularly described in the Merger Agreement, Mergerco
shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time.
SECTION 1.2 FILING OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT. The Company, Parent and
Mergerco shall cause the Merger Agreement, duly executed in accordance with
Section 252 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") and Section
11.35 of the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983, as amended ("IBCA"), to
be filed on the Closing Date (or on such other date as Parent and the Company
may agree) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the
Secretary of State of the State of Illinois, in accordance with the DGCL and
IBCA, respectively.
SECTION 1.3 CLOSING. The closing of the Merger (the "CLOSING") shall
take place on February 24, 2005 or on such other date as Parent and the Company
may agree; PROVIDED, THAT, in either case, each of the conditions set forth in
ARTICLE VI has been satisfied or waived
prior to such date. The time and date on which the Closing is actually held is
sometimes referred to herein as the "CLOSING DATE."
SECTION 1.4 MERGER CONSIDERATION. Subject to the provisions of Article
I of the Merger Agreement, as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger,
the aggregate outstanding shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be converted, in the aggregate, into 4,400,000 validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock and the right
to receive, in the aggregate, $200,000 (the "MERGER CONSIDERATION"). The Merger
Consideration shall be allocated among the Shareholders to be set forth on ANNEX
A.
SECTION 1.5 DISSENTING SHARES. Any issued and outstanding shares of
Company Common Stock held by a Person (a "DISSENTING SHAREHOLDER") who properly
exercises such Person's dissenters' rights under the IBCA ("DISSENTING SHARES")
shall not be converted as described in Section 1.4, but rather shall be
converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to
be due to such Dissenting Shareholder pursuant to the IBCA. Subject to the
foregoing, if, after the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shareholder withdraws
his demand for payment or fails to perfect or otherwise loses his right of
payment, in any case pursuant to the IBCA, the Dissenting Shares of such
Dissenting Shareholder shall be deemed to be converted as of the Effective Time
into the right to receive the amount to which such Dissenting Shareholder would
otherwise have been entitled to pursuant to Section 1.4. The Company shall give
Parent prompt notice of any demands for payment received by the Company. The
Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment
with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, and, prior to
the Effective Time, Parent shall have the right to participate in all
negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT
Parent represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
SECTION 2.1 ORGANIZATION OF PARENT. Parent is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. No other jurisdiction has demanded, requested or otherwise indicated
that Parent is required to qualify to transact business as a foreign
corporation, and Parent is not otherwise currently required under the laws of
any other jurisdiction to qualify to transact business as a foreign corporation.
Parent has full corporate power and authority to own or lease and to operate and
use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted.
Parent has delivered or otherwise made available to the Company true, correct
and complete copies of Parent's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as in effect on the date hereof, Amended and Restated Bylaws, as
in effect on the date hereof, minute books and stock transfer records. Parent is
not in violation of any term or provision of its charter, bylaws or other
organizational document the consequences of which would reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Parent.
SECTION 2.2 SUBSIDIARIES AND INVESTMENTS OF PARENT. Except as set forth
on SCHEDULE 2.2 (which will include the percentage owned by Parent), Parent does
not, directly
2
or indirectly, (i) own, of record or beneficially, or own or hold the right to
acquire, any outstanding voting or equity securities or other voting or equity
interests in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity or (ii)
otherwise control any such corporation, partnership, joint venture or other
entity.
SECTION 2.3 PARENT ACQUISITION OPERATIONS. Other than the negotiation
and execution of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby and the negotiation of other transactions for
the purchase by Parent of other business entities, each as described in SCHEDULE
2.3, prior to the date hereof, Parent has not conducted any material business
acquisition or combination activities or operations.
SECTION 2.4 CAPITAL STOCK OF PARENT. As of the date hereof, the

the date hereof, 39,006,212 shares are issued and outstanding; and (ii)
75,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the "PARENT
PREFERRED STOCK," together with the Parent Common Stock, the "PARENT CAPITAL
STOCK"), none of which is issued and outstanding or reserved for any purpose.
All outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. None of the issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock
has been issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any person or in
violation of applicable federal or state securities laws, except where any such
violation or violations, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a
Material Adverse Effect on Parent. SCHEDULE 2.4 sets forth a true and complete
list of the names and addresses of each of the holders of record of options to
purchase Parent Common Stock (the "PARENT STOCK OPTIONS"), the respective number
of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Parent Stock Option, the
exercise price applicable to such Parent Stock Option and the expiration date of
such Parent Stock Option. Except for this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and
except as set forth on SCHEDULE 2.4 hereof, there are no agreements,
arrangements, warrants, options, puts, calls, rights or other commitments, plans
or understandings of any character relating to the issuance, sale, purchase,
redemption, conversion, exchange, registration, voting, or transfer of any
shares of Parent Common Stock or any other securities of Parent. Except as set
forth on SCHEDULE 2.4 and except pursuant to applicable laws, there are no
restrictions, including but not limited to self-imposed restrictions, on the
retained earnings of Parent or on the ability of Parent to declare and pay
dividends.
SECTION 2.5 MERGERCO. Mergerco is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Mergerco
has not conducted any business activities prior to the date of this Agreement,
other than the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Merger
Agreement. All outstanding shares of capital stock of Mergerco are owned,
beneficially and of record, by Parent.
SECTION 2.6 AUTHORIZATION. (a) Parent has full corporate power and
authority to enter into this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement (as defined below) and the Employment Agreements (collectively,
the "TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS"), to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby and to comply with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof,
subject to the conditions hereof and thereof. The execution, delivery and
performance by Parent of each of the Transaction Documents, and the actions to
be taken by Parent contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly
authorized by the Board of Directors of Parent, and no other corporate
3
proceedings on the part of Parent are necessary with respect hereto or thereto.
Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes the valid and binding obligations
of Parent, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (i)
general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law, and (ii) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws relating
to or affecting creditors' rights generally.
(b) Mergerco has full corporate power and authority to
enter into this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to comply with the terms,
conditions and provisions hereof and thereof. The execution, delivery and
performance by Mergerco of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the
actions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Mergerco, and no other corporate
proceedings on the part of Mergerco are necessary with respect hereto or
thereto. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitute the valid and
binding obligations of Mergerco, in each case enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to (i) general principles of equity, regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law, and (ii) bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, receivership or
other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally.
SECTION 2.7 NON-CONTRAVENTION. Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 2.7,
neither the execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents by Parent or this
Agreement and the Merger Agreement by Mergerco, nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by Parent and Mergerco, will (a)
conflict with or result in the breach of any term or provision of, or constitute
a default under, the respective charters or Bylaws of Parent or Mergerco or any
material agreement, instrument or indenture to which Parent or Mergerco is a
party or by which either is bound; (b) violate any order, writ, injunction,
decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Parent or Mergerco; or (c)
require, as of the date hereof, the approval, consent, waiver, authorization or
act of, or the making by Parent or Mergerco of any declaration, filing or
registration with, any third party or any Governmental Body and the filing of a
copy of the Merger Agreement with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware and such other consents, orders, authorizations, registrations,
declarations and filings the failure of which to be obtained or made would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent,
materially impair the ability of Parent or Mergerco to perform its obligations
hereunder or prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
SECTION 2.8 VALID SHARES. The issuance of the Parent Common Stock in
connection with the Merger has been duly authorized on behalf of Parent and such
shares, when issued pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, will be
duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.
SECTION 2.9 FAILURE TO FILE SEC DOCUMENTS ON A TIMELY BASIS. On March
31, 2004, Parent filed a Form 12b-25 with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") providing notification that it was unable to file
its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, for the year ended December 31, 2003, on a
timely basis. In such filing Parent reported that certain financial and other
information necessary for an accurate and full completion of such Annual Report
could not be provided within the prescribed time period without unreasonable
effort or expense. Parent, to date, has not filed such Annual Report nor
4
has it made any other filings required pursuant to the reporting requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("EXCHANGE ACT"), since such
date, except for a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 2,
2004. Parent's failure to maintain its Exchange Act filing requirements on a
current basis may have materially adverse implications on Parent's stockholders
including, without limitation, causing sales of Parent's Common Stock pursuant
to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("SECURITIES ACT") to be unavailable to Parent's stockholders. In
addition, there does not currently exist any current information on Parent which
is publicly available including, without limitation, current financial
statements, the last financial statements being unaudited financial statements
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003, which were filed on December
29, 2003 with Parent's Form 10-QSB for the period ended September 30, 2003.
Although Parent, after the Closing Date, intends to make all filings necessary
to become current again in its Exchange Act filing requirements, there can be no
assurance that Parent will be able to regain compliance in an expeditious
manner.
SECTION 2.10 RESIGNATION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS. Effective as of
January 21, 2004, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, Parent's former independent accountants,
resigned as Parent's independent public accountants based on its determination
that it could not rely on Parent's representations, and was unwilling to be
associated with Parent's financial statements. Accordingly, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx
withdrew its audit reports and stated that such reports could no longer be
relied upon. A more detailed explanation of such resignation is set forth in
Parent's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 26, 2004 and
its Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on February 10, 2004. Parent
has engaged Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP as its new independent accountants to audit
Parent's financial statements for the period from April 30, 2002 through
December 31, 2002, and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004.
SECTION 2.11 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Parent, to date, does not have
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. Additionally,
although Parent filed audited financial statements with its Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, upon its
resignation as Parent's independent public accountants, withdrew its audit
report for the year ended December 31, 2002, and stated that such audit report
could no longer be relied upon. As a result of the foregoing, Parent does not
have any financial statements which may be relied upon with respect to
compliance with audit requirements. The financial statements filed with the SEC
contain Parent's unaudited balance sheets and income statements from the period
of inception to September 30, 2003 (all of such financial statements being
hereafter collectively referred to as the "UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"). The
Unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith, are complete
and correct in all material respects, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
and in conformity with the practices consistently applied by Parent and present
fairly the financial position and results of operations of Parent as of the
dates and for the periods indicated. SECTION 2.12 TITLE TO ASSETS. Parent has
good title to all of its assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for
Permitted Encumbrances and except as set forth in SCHEDULE 2.12.
SECTION 2.13 NO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. Except as set forth on
SCHEDULE 2.13, Parent is not subject to any obligation or liability of a kind
required to be included as a
5
liability on the balance sheet set forth in SCHEDULE 2.13 (including, without
limitation, unasserted claims whether known or unknown), whether absolute,
contingent, accrued or otherwise, which is not shown or which is in excess of
amounts shown or reserved for on such balance sheet, other than liabilities
reasonably incurred in the ordinary course of business after the date of such
balance sheet or incurred with respect to the matters disclosed in SCHEDULE 2.3,
none of which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse
Effect on Parent and none of which is a liability for breach of contract, breach
of warranty, tort, infringement or other lawsuit.
SECTION 2.14 NO VIOLATION, LITIGATION OR REGULATORY ACTION. Except as
set forth on SCHEDULE 2.14:
(a) To the Knowledge of Parent, Parent has complied with
all laws, regulations, rules, writs, injunctions, ordinances, franchises,
decrees, stipulations, awards or orders of any Governmental Body which are
applicable to Parent;
(b) No notice has been served upon Parent by any
Governmental Body or other person of any violation of any Requirements of Law or
calling attention to the necessity of any work, repairs, new construction,
installation or alteration of any real or personal property owned, leased or
used by Parent;
(c) There are no lawsuits, claims, suits, proceedings
pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against Parent or
investigations pending regarding Parent nor, to the Knowledge of Parent, is
there any basis for any of the same, and there are no lawsuits, suits or
proceedings pending or contemplated in which Parent is the plaintiff or
claimant; and
(d) There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to
the Knowledge of Parent, threatened which questions the legality or propriety of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.
SECTION 2.15 MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS. SCHEDULE 2.15 includes
a list of all material contracts, agreements and instruments to which Parent or
Mergerco is a party, true and complete copies of all of which have been
delivered by Parent to the Company. All of such material contracts, agreements
and instruments constitute valid and binding obligations of Parent and/or
Mergerco and, to the Knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto and are in
full force and effect in all material respects, without any material breach by
Parent or Mergerco or, to the Knowledge of Parent, any other parties thereto.
SECTION 2.16 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Except as set forth on
SCHEDULE 2.16, no officer, director or other Affiliate of Parent (including
spouses, children and other relatives of any of the foregoing) is a party to any
agreement, contract, arrangement or transaction with Parent or has any interest
in any property (real or personal or mixed, tangible or intangible) owned or
leased by Parent.
SECTION 2.17 STATUS OF PARENT. Neither Parent nor Mergerco nor any of
their officers, directors or affiliates, promoters or control persons, nor any
predecessor thereof, has been (a) the general partner or an executive officer of
any business with respect to which a petition for relief under the Bankruptcy
Code has been filed either at the time of the filing or
6
within two years before that time; (b) been convicted in a criminal proceeding
or been the subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations and other minor offenses); (c) been subject to any order, judgment or
decree, subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent
jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or
otherwise limiting his or its involvement in any type of business, securities or
banking activities; or (d) been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a
civil action) or the SEC to have violated a federal or state securities law, and
the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
SECTION 2.18 SEC INVESTIGATION. The staff of the SEC is in the process
of conducting a formal investigation involving Parent. The Formal Order of
Investigation indicates that the staff is investigating certain registration
statements filed by Parent in 2002 and 2003 by which shares of Parent Common
Stock were issued to consultants. The staff also appears to be investigating
whether officers, directors and others made misrepresentations in certain of
Parent's press releases regarding planned mergers and acquisitions that were
never consummated. The investigation is ongoing. The staff has not indicated
whether it will or will not recommend that the Commission file an enforcement
action against Parent, it officers or directors, or others. If the SEC brings an
action against Parent based on the registration statements it could result in a
civil injunctive order or administrative cease and desist order being entered
against Parent in addition to the imposition of a significant civil penalty. If
the Commission brings an action based on alleged material misrepresentations, it
could result in civil injunctions and civil penalties being assessed against
Parent or persons formerly or currently affiliated with it that are alleged to
have been involved in the misrepresentations.
SECTION 2.19 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
SECTION 2.20 NO FINDER. Parent has not paid or become obligated to pay
any fee or commission to any broker, finder or intermediary for or on account of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
SECTION 2.21 DISCLOSURE. No representation or warranty made by Parent
contained in this Agreement and no statement contained in any certificate, list,
exhibit or other instrument specified or referred to in this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the Parent Disclosure Schedules, contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
SECTION 2.22 PARENT DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, (a) all information contained in the Schedules
delivered by Parent pursuant to ARTICLE II hereto (the "PARENT DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULES") is and for all purposes shall be deemed to constitute a part of
Parent's representations and warranties set forth in this ARTICLE II, (b) the
Parent Disclosure Schedules are incorporated in this Agreement by reference, and
(c) disclosure by Parent in or on one Parent Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed
to be disclosure for all other purposes on any or all of the other Parent
Disclosure Schedules for which such disclosure may be relevant to the extent
that a reasonable person would understand that information disclosed in such
Schedule might reasonably apply to such other Schedule(s).

with the Secretary of State of the State of Illinois and such other consents,

validity, including any question whether a matter is subject to arbitration
hereunder, is referred to herein as a "DISPUTE."
33
(b) If the parties fail to settle any Dispute within 30
days after any party has given notice to the other parties hereto of the claimed
existence of a Dispute, the Dispute shall be resolved by a confidential, binding
arbitration. All such Disputes shall be arbitrated in Chicago, Illinois pursuant
to the arbitration rules and procedures of J.A.M.S. Endispute before an
arbitrator or arbitrators selected in the manner provided in such rules and
procedures, except that the "Final Offer (or Baseball)" Arbitration Option shall
not be used unless otherwise agreed in writing. As a condition to JAMS'
jurisdiction, the parties shall be entitled to conduct discovery pursuant to the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
(c) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, and each party hereto consents
and submits to the jurisdiction of such court for purposes of such action. The
statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches and similar doctrines, which
would otherwise be applicable in any action brought by a party, shall be
applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration
proceeding shall be deemed to be the commencement of an action for those
purposes. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction,
interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. Each party shall
bear its own expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of
legal counsel and accountants) in connection with such arbitration, and Parent
and the Company shall each bear one-half of the arbitrators' fees and expenses,
provided that the arbitral award shall allocate such fees and expenses of
counsel, accountants, other advisors and arbitrators according to the relative
success of the contesting parties in the arbitration, as determined by the
arbitrators. The arbitrators shall award an amount equal to the actual monetary
damages suffered by each contesting party, which may include interest costs
incurred by such party and, in the case of the Surviving Corporation, actual
reductions in retail earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization for the period in which they occur, but the arbitrators shall not
have the authority to award punitive damages.
