AGREEMENT
1. Plan of Reorganization. The parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Bio-Path upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the provisions of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this transaction qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related sections thereunder.
2. Terms of Merger. In accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the requirements of applicable law, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Bio-Path as of the Effective Time (the terms “Closing” and “Effective Time” are defined in Section 6 hereof). Bio-Path shall be the surviving corporation (hereinafter the “Surviving Corporation”) and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease when the Merger shall become effective. Consummation of the Merger shall be upon the following terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein:
(a) Corporate Existence.
(i) Commencing with the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall continue its corporate existence as a Utah corporation and (i) it shall thereupon and thereafter possess all rights, privileges, powers, franchises and property (real, personal and mixed) of each of Merger Sub and Bio-Path (collectively, the “Constituent Corporations”); (ii) all debts due to either of the Constituent Corporations, on whatever account, all causes in action and all other things belonging to either of the Constituent Corporations shall be taken and deemed to be transferred to and shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation by virtue of the Merger without further act or deed; and (iii) all rights of creditors and all liens, if any, upon any property of any of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, limited in lien to the property affected by such liens immediately prior to the Effective Time, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation.
(ii) At the Effective Time, (i) the Articles of Incorporation of Bio-Path, as amended, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and the By-laws of Bio-Path, as existing immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be and remain the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation; (ii) the members of the Board of Directors of Bio-Path holding office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain as the members of the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation (if on or after the Effective Time a vacancy exists on the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation, such vacancy may thereafter be filled in a manner provided by applicable law and the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation); and (iii) until the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation shall otherwise determine, all persons who hold offices of Bio-Path at the Effective Time shall continue to hold the same offices of the Surviving Corporation.
(b) Conversion of Securities. As of the Effective Time and without any action on the part of Ogden Golf, Merger Sub, Bio-Path or the holders of any of the securities of any of the Constituent Corporations, each of the following shall occur:
2
(i) Each share of Bio-Path Common Stock (as defined hereinafter) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a number of shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock (as defined hereinafter) equal to the Conversion Ratio (as defined hereinafter). At the Effective Time, all such shares of Bio-Path Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously evidencing any such shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive, upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof, certificates evidencing such number of shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock, respectively, into which such shares of Bio-Path Common Stock were converted. The holders of such certificates previously evidencing shares of Bio-Path Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Bio-Path Common Stock except as otherwise provided herein or by law. The shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock issued to the holders of the capital stock of Bio-Path shall be subject to certain restrictions on any sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other manner of disposition as more fully set forth below;
(ii) Any shares of capital stock of Bio-Path held in the treasury of Bio-Path immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and
(iii) Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled in the Merger.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Bio-Path Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Ogden Golf Common Stock at the Effective Time, but shall represent and become the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to the laws of the State of Utah, unless and until such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal and payment under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the “URBC”). At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist. If, after the Effective Time, such Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal, such former Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive, upon surrender as provided above, Ogden Golf Common Stock without any interest thereon. Bio-Path shall give the Merger Sub, or after the Effective Time, the surviving corporation, prompt notice of any demands received for appraisal of shares of Bio-Path capital stock, any withdrawals of any such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the URBC and received by Bio-Path.
3
(c) Other Matters.
(i) Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each outstanding option or warrant to purchase Bio-Path Common Stock, whether or not then exercisable, shall be converted into an option or warrant to purchase a number of shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Bio-Path Common Stock subject to such option or warrant, at a price per share equal to the exercise price per share in effect immediately prior to the Merger divided by the Conversion Ratio. All other terms and conditions of each option or warrant to purchase Bio-Path Common Stock shall remain the same.
(ii) At the Closing, the existing directors of Ogden Golf or its stockholders shall appoint as officers and nominate and elect to the Board of Directors of Ogden Golf those set forth listed on Schedule C (the “Post Closing Managers”), and all of the persons serving as directors and officers of Ogden Golf immediately prior to the Closing shall thereafter resign from all of their positions with Ogden Golf.
(d) Definitions.
(i) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Conversion Ratio” shall mean 2.20779528 whereby each share of Bio-Path common stock shall be converted into 2.20779528 shares of Ogden Golf Common stock in the Merger. There will be not more than 3,600,000 shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to Closing. Currently, there are 15,511,550 shares of Bio-Path common stock issued and outstanding. Prior to Closing, Bio-Path intends to raise additional capital and in connection therewith issue additional shares of Bio-Path common stock. The parties anticipate that immediately prior to Closing there will be not more than 29,911,550 shares of Bio-Path issued and outstanding. If Bio-Path does issue additional shares of its common stock prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, the Conversion Ratio shall remain the same, 2.20779528. Assuming there are 29,911,550 shares of Bio-Path common stock issued and outstanding at the time of closing, immediately following the Effective Time there will be approximately 69,638,579 shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock issued and outstanding. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Post Closing Capitalization” shall mean the actual number of shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the Effective Time of the Merger.
(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Pre Closing Capitalization” shall be a maximum of 3,600,000 shares of the Ogden Golf Common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to Closing. No options, warrants, common stock equivalents or other rights to acquire any security of the Ogden Golf shall be issued or outstanding immediately prior to the Closing except as contemplated by, or described in, this Agreement.

3. Delivery of Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time, Ogden Golf shall deliver to each record holder of certificates formerly representing all of such holder’s shares of Bio-Path capital stock (the “Old Certificates”), at the address set forth on books of Bio-Path, (i) a notice of the effectiveness of the Merger and (ii) a Letter of Transmittal in a form reasonably acceptable to Bio-Path. Upon surrender of an Old Certificate, together with a Letter of Transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Old Certificate (other than Old Certificates representing Dissenting Shares) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore, certificates representing the shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Bio-Path capital stock were converted pursuant to the Merger (the “New Certificates”), that such holder is entitled to receive, which shall be delivered by Ogden Golf in accordance with the instructions provided by such holder in the Letter of Transmittal executed by such holder. Until surrendered and exchanged as herein provided, each outstanding certificate which, prior to the Effective Time, represented Bio-Path Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the same number of shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock into which the shares of Bio-Path Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been so converted. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Ogden Golf Common Stock after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any certificate that prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Bio-Path Common Stock until the holder of such certificate surrenders or exchanges such certificate as herein provided. Subject to the effect of any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such certificate, there will be paid to the holder of the certificates evidencing shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock issued in exchange therefore, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such shares of Ogden Golf Common Stock less any withholding taxes which are required thereon. No party hereto will be liable to any former holder of Bio-Path Common Stock for any Ogden Golf Common Stock or dividends or distributions thereon in each case delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. In the event any certificate representing Bio-Path Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder of Bio-Path Common Stock claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement by such holder to indemnify and hold harmless Ogden Golf and the Surviving Corporation against any claim that may be made against them with respect to such certificate, Ogden Golf will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate Ogden Golf Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

If such event involves a Claim brought by any third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), the indemnitors shall have the right to elect to join in the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of any such Third-Party Claim, and to employ counsel to assist such indemnitor in connection with the handling of such Claim, at the sole expense of the indemnitor, and no such Claim shall be settled, adjusted or compromised, or the defense thereof terminated, without the prior written consent of the indemnitor unless and until the indemnitor shall have failed, after the lapse of a reasonable period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after notice of such Claim, to join in the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of the same.

If so desired by any of the indemnitors, such indemnitor may elect, at such indemnitor’s sole expense, to assume control of the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of any Third-Party Claim, provided that before entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim, or ceasing to defend against such Claim, if as a result thereof, or pursuant thereto, there would be imposed on any Indemnified Person any liability or obligation not covered by the indemnification obligations of the indemnitors under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any injunctive relief or other remedy), such indemnitors shall obtain the written consent of such Indemnified Persons (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
