2.           Merger; Effectiveness. The Subsidiary Corporation shall be merged with and into the Parent Corporation pursuant to the applicable provisions of Chapters 78 and Section 92A.180.1 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended, and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon execution by the Parent Corporation and Subsidiary Corporation of Articles of Merger incorporating this Agreement by reference and the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada, the Merger shall become effective (the "Effective Time of the Merger") with the Parent Corporation being the surviving company of the Merger (the “Surviving Company”).

4.           Governing Documents, Bylaws, Board of Directors. The Articles of Incorporation of the Parent Corporation in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Company, provided, however, that the Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada shall provide that the Articles of Incorporation shall be amended to change the name of the Parent Corporation to CleanTech Innovations, Inc.  The Bylaws of the Parent Corporation in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Company. The Board of Directors of the Parent Corporation shall be the Board of Directors of the Surviving Company.

 
 

 

5.           Waiver. Pursuant to NRS 92A.180, as amended, the Parent Corporation, the sole stockholder of the Subsidiary Corporation, waives the requirement that a copy of the plan of merger be mailed at least 30 days before filing the articles of merger.

6.           Termination. This Agreement may be terminated for any reason at any time before the filing of Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (whether before or after approval by the shareholders of the Subsidiary Corporation and the Parent Corporation, or either of them) by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Parent Corporation.

7.           Amendment. This Agreement may, to the extent permitted by law, be amended, supplemented or interpreted at any time by action taken by the Board of Directors of each of the parties.

9.           Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters relating to this Agreement shall be governed by, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.
