Section 2.2. Conversion of Shares.

(a) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than those held in the treasury of the Company) and all rights in respect thereof, shall at the Effective Time, without any action on the part of any holder thereof, forthwith cease to exist and be converted into and become exchangeable for, 1.9975 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Novume Common Stock”), of Novume, and each share of Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Company Preferred Stock”) of the Company issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time and all rights in respect thereof, shall at the Effective Time, without any action on the part of any holder thereof, forthwith cease to exists and be converted into and become exchangeable for, 1. shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Novume Preferred Stock”), of Novume (collectively, the “Company Merger Consideration”, and such ratio of Company Common Stock to Novume Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock to Novume Preferred Stock being herein referred to as the “Company Exchange Ratio”). Fractional shares of Novume Common Stock and Novume Preferred Stock will not be issued in connection with the Company Merger. For a discussion of the treatment of fractional shares that would otherwise be issued, see Section 2.7.

(b) Each share of Brekford Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than those held in the treasury of Brekford) and all rights in respect thereof, shall at the Effective Time, without any action on the part of any holder thereof, forthwith cease to exist and be converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive 1/15th of one share (the “Brekford Exchange Ratio”) of Novume Common Stock (the “Brekford Merger Consideration”). Fractional shares of Novume Common Stock will not be issued in connection with the Brekford Merger. For a discussion of the treatment of fractional shares that would otherwise be issued, see Section 2.7.

(c) Commencing immediately after the Effective Time, each certificate which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock (together, “Company Shares”) or Brekford Common Stock (“Brekford Shares” and, together with the Company Shares, the “Shares”), shall evidence the right to receive the Company Merger Consideration or the Brekford Merger Consideration, as the case may be, on the basis hereinbefore set forth, but subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 hereof.

Section 2.3. Cancellation of Treasury Shares and of Outstanding Novume Common Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each share of Brekford Common Stock held in the treasury of Brekford immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and retired and no shares of stock or other securities of Novume or either of the Surviving Corporations shall be issuable, and no payment or other consideration shall be made, with respect thereto.

(b) At the Effective Time, the shares of Novume Common Stock held by the Company shall be cancelled and retired and no shares of stock or other securities of Novume or any other corporation shall be issuable, and no payment or other consideration shall be made, with respect thereto.

Section 2.4. Conversion of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Merged Corporations into Common Stock of the Surviving Corporations.

Section 2.5. Exchange of Shares Other Than Treasury Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at or prior to the Effective Time, Novume shall appoint an exchange agent to effect the exchange of Shares for Novume Common Stock and Novume Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE II (the “Exchange Agent”). From time to time after the Effective Time, Novume shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, (i) certificates representing Novume Common Stock for conversion of Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof and (ii) certificates representing Novume Preferred Stock for conversion of Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof (such certificates, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being herein referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund”). Commencing immediately after the Effective Time and until the appointment of the Exchange Agent shall be terminated, each holder of a certificate or certificates theretofore representing Shares may surrender the same to the Exchange Agent, and, after the appointment of the Exchange Agent shall be terminated, any such holder may surrender any such certificate to Novume. Such holder shall be entitled upon such surrender to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of Novume Common Stock or Novume Preferred Stock, as applicable, into which the Shares theretofore represented by the certificate or certificates so surrendered shall have been converted in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof. All such shares of Novume Common Stock or Novume Preferred Stock, as applicable, issued in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time. Until so surrendered and exchanged, each outstanding certificate which, prior to the Effective Time, represented issued and outstanding Shares shall be deemed for all corporate purposes of the Parties, other than the payment of dividends and other distributions, if any, to represent the right to receive the Company Merger Consideration or the Brekford Merger Consideration, as the case may be. Unless and until any such certificate theretofore representing Shares is so surrendered, no dividend or other distribution, if any, payable to the holders of record of Novume Common Stock or Novume Preferred Stock as of any date subsequent to the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of such certificate in respect thereof. Upon the surrender of any such certificate theretofore representing Shares, however, the record holder of the certificate or certificates representing shares of Novume Common Stock or Novume Preferred Stock issued in exchange therefor shall receive from the Exchange Agent or from Novume, as the case may be, payment of the amount of dividends and other distributions, if any, which as of any date subsequent to the Effective Time and until such surrender shall have become payable with respect to such number of shares of Novume Common Stock or Novume Preferred Stock (“Pre-Surrender Dividends”). No interest shall be payable with respect to the payment of Pre-Surrender Dividends, upon the surrender of certificates theretofore representing Shares. After the appointment of the Exchange Agent shall have been terminated, such holders of Novume Common Stock that have not received payment of Pre- Surrender Dividends, shall look only to Novume for payment thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, neither the Exchange Agent nor any Party shall be liable to a holder of Shares for any Novume Common Stock or Novume Preferred Stock or dividends or distributions thereon delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law or to a transferee pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof.

Section 2.6. Transfer Books. The stock transfer books of the Company with respect to the Company Shares and the stock transfer books of Brekford with respect to the Brekford Shares shall each be closed at the Effective Time and no transfer of any Shares will thereafter be recorded on any of such stock transfer books. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the stock transfer records of the Company or Brekford, as the case may be, at the Effective Time, cash and/or a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of Novume Common Stock or Novume Preferred Stock, as applicable, into which such Shares shall have been converted in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof shall be issued to the transferee in accordance with Section 2.7 hereof, and a cash payment in the amount of Pre-Surrender Dividends, if any, in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof, if the certificate or certificates representing such Shares is or are surrendered as provided in Section 2.5 hereof, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence of payment of any applicable stock transfer tax.

Section 2.7. No Fractional Shares.

(a) No scrip or fractional share certificate for Novume Common Stock or Novume Preferred Stock will be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates evidencing Shares. Any such fractional shares that would have been issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and such whole share shall be issued.

(b) None of Novume, the Company or Brekford shall be liable to any holder of Shares or Novume Common Stock or Novume Preferred Stock, as the case may be, for such shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

Section 2.8. Options and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, each option granted by the Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Option”), or by Brekford to purchase shares of Brekford Common Stock (each, a “Brekford Option” and, together with the Company Options, “Options”), which is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Novume and converted into an option (a “Novume Option”) to purchase shares of Novume Common Stock in such amount and at such exercise price as provided below and otherwise having the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time:

(i) the number of shares of Novume Common Stock to be subject to the Novume Option shall be equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock or Brekford Common Stock subject to the original Option and (y) the Company Exchange Ratio or the Brekford Exchange Ratio, as applicable;

(ii) the exercise price per share of Novume Common Stock under the Novume Option shall be equal to (x) the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock or Brekford Common Stock under the original Option divided by (y) the Company Exchange Ratio or the Brekford Exchange Ratio, as applicable; and

(iii) upon each exercise of Novume Options by a holder thereof, the aggregate number of shares of Novume Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise shall be rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole share and the aggregate exercise price shall be rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest cent. The adjustments provided herein with respect to any Options which are “incentive stock options” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code.

(b) Novume shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Novume Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Novume Options in accordance with this Section 2.8. As soon as practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) after the Effective Time, Novume shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate forms), or another appropriate form with respect to the shares of Novume Common Stock subject to the Novume Options and shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as the Novume Options remain outstanding.

(c) At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Warrant”), or to purchase shares of Brekford Common Stock (each, a “Brekford Warrant” and, together with the Company Warrants, the “Warrants”), which is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Novume and converted into a warrant to purchase shares of Novume Common Stock (a “Novume Warrants”) in such amount and at such exercise price as provided below and otherwise having the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time:

(i) the number of shares of Novume Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Novume Warrant shall be equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock or Brekford Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the original Warrant and (y) the Company Exchange Ratio or the Brekford Exchange Ratio, as applicable;

(ii) the exercise price per share of Novume Common Stock under the Novume Warrants shall be equal to (x) the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock or Brekford Common Stock under the original Warrant divided by (y) the Company Exchange Ratio or the Brekford Exchange Ratio, as applicable; and

(iii)     upon each exercise of Novume Warrants by a holder thereof, the aggregate number of shares of Novume Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise shall be rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole share and the aggregate exercise price shall be rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest cent.

Section 2.9. Certain Adjustments. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or of Brekford Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or any dividend payable in stock or other securities shall be declared thereon with a record date within such period, the exchange ratio established pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof shall be adjusted accordingly to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock and Brekford Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange or dividend.

Section 3.1. Certificate of Incorporation of Novume. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Certificate of Incorporation of Novume to be amended and restated to read substantially as set forth in Appendix I hereto, and shall cause Novume to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designations of the Novume Preferred Stock containing terms substantially identical to the Certificate of Designations of the Company Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as of the date hereof, but in any event, which shall provide rights, preferences and privileges to the holders of Novume Preferred Stock that are no less favorable to such holders than those currently provided to the holders of Company Preferred Stock.

Section 3.2. Officers and Directors of Novume.

(a) At the Effective Time, Robert A. Berman shall have been appointed the Chief Executive Officer of Novume; such other persons shall have been appointed officers of Novume as are designated by the Board of Directors of the Company as it exists immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Novume Board shall consist of seven (7) members, four (4) of whom shall be independent within the meaning of the 1934 Act, and the national stock exchange to which the Company has applied for the listing of Novume Common Stock as described in Section 7.10. Six (6) members of the Novume Board shall be designated by the Company, and one (1) member of the Novume Board shall be designated by Brekford, subject to the approval of KeyStone. The members designated by the Company are James McCarthy, who shall serve as Chairman, Robert A.

Section 4.2. Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
