NOW THEREFORE, for the mutual consideration set out herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Plan of Reorganization. The parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. 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 the Company as of the Effective Date (the terms “Closing” and “Effective Date” are defined in Section 6 hereof). The Company 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.
(1) Commencing with the Effective Date, the Surviving Corporation shall continue its corporate existence as a Delaware corporation and (i) it shall thereupon and thereafter possess all rights, privileges, powers, franchises and property (real, personal and mixed) of each of the Constituent Corporations; (ii) all debts due to either of the Constituent Corporations, on whatever account, all causes of 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 Date, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation.
(2) At the Effective Date, (i) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and the By-laws of the Company, as existing immediately prior to the Effective Date, shall be and remain the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation; (ii) the members of the board of directors of the Company holding office immediately prior to the Effective Date shall remain as the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation (if on or after the Effective Date 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 the Company at the Effective Date shall continue to hold the same offices of the Surviving Corporation.
2
(b) Conversion of Securities.
As of the Effective Date and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the securities of any of these corporations, each of the following shall occur:
(1) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be converted into one (1) share of Parent Common Stock. All such shares of Company 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 Parent Common Stock, respectively, into which such shares of Company Common Stock were converted. The holders of such certificates previously evidencing shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided herein or by law;
(2) Any shares of capital stock of the Company held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Date shall automatically be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto;
(3) Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall remain in existence as one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, which shall be owned by Parent;
(c) Other Matters.
(1) Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each outstanding option or warrant to purchase Company Common Stock, whether or not then exercisable, shall be converted into an option or warrant to purchase (in substitution for each share of Company Common Stock subject to an option or warrant to purchase Company Common Stock) one (1) share of Parent Common Stock at a price equal to the exercise price in effect immediately prior to the Merger. All other terms and conditions of each option or warrant to purchase Company Common Stock shall remain the same.
(2) At the Closing, the board of directors of Parent shall increase the size of the board of directors of Parent to consist of five (5) directors and the existing director of Parent shall nominate and elect to the board of directors of Parent Bjarte Bruheim, J. Chris Boswell, Carlos A. Fernandez, Thomas E. Hardisty, Jogeir Romestrand, or such other persons designated by the Company. At the Closing, all of the persons serving as directors and officers of Parent immediately prior to the Closing shall thereafter resign from all of their positions with Parent, all subject to compliance with Rule 14f-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
3
3. Delivery of Shares. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Company will use reasonable efforts to cause all holders of Company Common Stock (collectively, the “Company Stockholders”) to surrender to Parent for cancellation certificates representing their shares of Company Common Stock against delivery of certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock for which the shares of Company Common Stock are to be converted in the Merger. Until surrendered and exchanged as herein provided, each outstanding certificate which, prior to the Effective Date, represented Company Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been so converted. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock after the Effective Date will be paid to the holder of any certificate that prior to the Effective Date evidenced shares of Company 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 Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Date theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Date but prior to the surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock less any withholding taxes which are required thereon. No party hereto will be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any Parent 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 Company Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder of Company Common Stock claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement by such holder to indemnify and hold harmless Parent and the Surviving Corporation against any claim that may be made against them with respect to such certificate, Parent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.
