THE MERGER

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida on the Closing Date. The date and time that the Certificate of Merger are filed with the Florida Secretary of State and the Merger thereby becomes effective will be referred to in this Agreement as the “Effective Date” and the “Effective Time,” respectively. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger, SpineMedica will be merged with and into Acquisition Company in a statutory merger pursuant to the Certificate of Merger and in accordance with applicable provisions of Florida law as follows:

Section 2.1 Conversion of SpineMedica Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any shareholder of Acquisition Company or SpineMedica:

(a) Each share of SpineMedica Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of MiMedx Common Stock.

(b) Each share of SpineMedica Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive: (i) one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of MiMedx Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) a warrant for the right to purchase one share of MiMedx Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants issuable pursuant to clause (ii) (the “Warrants”) shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

The MiMedx Common Stock issuable pursuant to Subsection (a) and MiMedx Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants issuable pursuant to Subsection (b), are referred to in this Agreement as the “Merger Consideration.” Attached hereto as Schedule 2.1 is a list of the name, last known mailing address, Social Security Number or, if applicable, Employer Identification Number and number of SpineMedica Shares held by each SpineMedica Shareholder as of the date hereof. In the event that SpineMedica is unable to provide the Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number of any SpineMedica Shareholder, it shall send a Form W-9 to such Person at their last known address with instructions to complete and return such form to SpineMedica.

(c) All shares of SpineMedica Common Stock that immediately prior to the Effective Time are held in the treasury of SpineMedica or owned by SpineMedica shall be

 

6


canceled and retired and no capital stock of MiMedx, cash, or other consideration shall be paid or delivered in exchange therefor.

Section 2.2 Treatment of Acquisition Company Ownership. Each limited liability company interest of Acquisition Company (“Acquisition Company LLC Interest”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will remain issued and outstanding, which shall be the only capital of Acquisition Company issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time.

Section 2.3 Fractional Shares. De minimis adjustments may be made to the relative amounts of MiMedx Shares to avoid fractional shares of MiMedx capital stock being issued.

Section 2.4 SpineMedica Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each stock option to purchase shares of SpineMedica Common Stock (each a “SpineMedica Stock Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable (each, an “Assumed Option”), shall be assumed by MiMedx. Each Assumed Option shall be converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of MiMedx Common Stock equal to the number of shares of SpineMedica Common Stock subject to such SpineMedica Stock Option. Each Assumed Option shall have a exercise price per share equal to the per share exercise price of the SpineMedica Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option. Each Assumed Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective SpineMedica Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. It is the intention of the Parties that each Assumed Option that qualified as a United States-based incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall continue to so qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time. MiMedx shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of MiMedx Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of all Assumed Options assumed in accordance with this Section 2.4.

Section 2.5 SpineMedica Warrants. Except for the warrant issued to MiMedx that will be terminated immediately after the Effective Time as set forth in Section 2.11, at the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase, acquire or otherwise receive SpineMedica Shares, excluding SpineMedica Stock Options (each a “SpineMedica Warrant”), that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable (each, an “Assumed Warrant”), shall be assumed by MiMedx. Each Assumed Warrant shall be converted into a warrant to acquire that number of MiMedx Shares equal to the number of SpineMedica Shares subject to such SpineMedica Warrant. Each Assumed Warrant shall have a exercise price per share equal to the per share exercise price of the SpineMedica Shares subject to such Assumed Warrant. Each Assumed Warrant shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective SpineMedica Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time. MiMedx shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of MiMedx Shares for issuance upon exercise of all Assumed Warrants assumed in accordance with this Section 2.5.

Section 2.6 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time: (a) the separate existence of SpineMedica will cease, SpineMedica will be merged with and into Acquisition Company, and Acquisition Company will be the surviving entity pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of

 

7


Merger (the “Surviving Entity”); (b) the Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement of Acquisition Company will be the Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement of the Surviving Entity; (c) each Acquisition Company LLC Interest outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain outstanding as provided in Section 2.2 above; (d) a Board of Managers consisting of three managers, which initially shall be R. Lewis Bennett, Steve Gorlin and Thomas D’Alonzo will be appointed immediately after the Effective Time to manage the Surviving Entity, and the officers of SpineMedica in effect at the Effective Time will be the officers of Surviving Entity; (e) each SpineMedica Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted as provided in Section 2.1; and (f) the Merger will, at and after the Effective Time, have all of the effects provided by applicable law.

Section 2.7 Tax-Free Reorganization. The Parties intend to adopt this Agreement as a tax-free plan of reorganization and to consummate the Merger in accordance with the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code. The Parties believe that the value of the non-cash consideration to be received by the SpineMedica Shareholders in the Merger is equal to the value of the SpineMedica Shares to be surrendered in exchange therefor. The MiMedx Shares and Warrants issued in connection with the Merger will be issued solely in exchange for SpineMedica Shares, and no other transaction other than the Merger represents, provides for or is intended to be an adjustment to, the consideration paid for the SpineMedica Shares. MiMedx represents now, and as of the Closing, that (i) it presently intends to continue SpineMedica’s historic business or use a significant portion of the SpineMedica’s business assets in a business and (ii) it has not and does not intend to take any action resulting in the treatment of Acquisition Company as other than a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. SpineMedica acknowledges that it has received its own independent tax advice and counsel with respect to the Merger and the transactions contemplated herein and is not relying on representations made by MiMedx or its counsel, accountants or advisors with respect thereto.

Section 2.8 Restricted Shares. The MiMedx Shares to be issued to the SpineMedica Shareholders in connection with the Merger, including the shares of MiMedx Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore may not be sold by the SpineMedica Shareholders except pursuant to an exemption from registration. SpineMedica understands that all certificates for MiMedx Shares issued to the SpineMedica Shareholders may bear one or more legends as MiMedx deems necessary to comply with applicable state and federal securities laws and any legend required by the MiMedx Common Shareholders’ Agreement, the MiMedx Preferred Shareholders’ Agreement or any other agreement of MiMedx to which a SpineMedica Shareholder will be a party.

Section 2.9 Delivery of SpineMedica Certificates and Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.9, on the Effective Date, each holder of a certificate which formerly represented SpineMedica Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “SpineMedica Certificate”) shall be entitled, upon surrender thereof to MiMedx, to receive the Merger Consideration on the terms set forth in this Agreement. At the Closing or any time thereafter, each of the SpineMedica Shareholders shall surrender to MiMedx the SpineMedica Certificates representing the SpineMedica Shares held by such

 

8


SpineMedica Shareholder, which SpineMedica Certificates shall be in good delivery form, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock transfer powers duly executed. In addition thereto, each SpineMedica Shareholder holding shares of SpineMedica Common Stock shall e execute and deliver to MiMedx a counterpart signature page in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G to become a party to the MiMedx Common Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Common Counterpart Signature Page”), and each SpineMedica Shareholder holding shares of SpineMedica Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall execute and deliver to MiMedx a counterpart signature page in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H to become a party to each of the MiMedx Preferred Shareholders’ Agreement and the MiMedx Registration Rights Agreement (the “Preferred Counterpart Signature Page”). At the Closing or any time thereafter, upon surrender of the applicable SpineMedica Certificates together with the applicable counterpart signature page, MiMedx shall deliver the appropriate Merger Consideration. For purposes of this Section 2.9(a), any outstanding SpineMedica Certificate shall not be deemed surrendered to MiMedx until such time as such SpineMedica Certificate is delivered along with a fully-executed counterpart signature page applicable to such SpineMedica Certificate to Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC, counsel for MiMedx, at the address provided in Section 6.3 hereof. Until so surrendered, each outstanding SpineMedica Certificate shall, upon and after the Effective Date of the Merger, be deemed for all purposes to represent and evidence only the right to receive payment therefor as aforesaid.

(b) If any holder of Shares shall have served a written demand upon SpineMedica to be paid the “fair value” of his or her Shares as provided in Section  ###-###-#### of the FBCA (any such shareholder being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”) and if a Dissenting Shareholder has met the requirements of the FBCA and if it is determined that such Dissenting Shareholder has the right to receive payment of the “fair value” of his or her Shares pursuant to the provisions of Sections ###-###-####-1333 of the FBCA, such Dissenting Shareholder shall receive such payment from the Surviving Entity (but only after the value of such Shares has been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to the provisions of Section  ###-###-#### or ###-###-####, respectively, of the FBCA). However, notwithstanding the above or anything in this Merger Agreement to the contrary, MiMedx reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to consummate the Merger if there is one or more Dissenting Shareholder(s).

Section 2.10 No Further Transfers. Upon and after the Effective Date, no transfer of the SpineMedica Shares outstanding prior to the Effective Date shall be made on the stock transfer books of SpineMedica.

Section 2.11 Cancellation of Promissory Note, Stock Pledge Agreement, and Warrant. The Nonrecourse Secured Promissory Note, dated March 12, 2007, in the principal amount of $2,000,000, issued to MiMedx by SpineMedica (the “Note”), shall be canceled immediately after the Effective Time and shall no longer a binding obligation of Acquisition Company (as successor to SpineMedica). In connection with the cancellation of the Note, the Stock Pledge Agreement by and between SpineMedica and MiMedx to provide security for payment of the Note, and the warrant for 270,000 shares of SpineMedica Common Stock issued to MiMedx, both dated March 12, 2007, shall be terminated and all rights and obligations of the Parties thereunder shall be terminated.

All such notices and other communications shall, when mailed by return receipt requested or certified mail, or by means of any nationally recognized overnight express company, or telecopied, be effective when received by addressee or upon confirmation of delivery thereof by telecopier, respectively. Either Party hereto may change its address specified for notices herein by designating a new address by notice in accordance with this Section 6.3.

Section 6.4 No Waiver of Remedies, etc. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay of any Party in exercising, any right or remedy available hereunder or by law shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy by any Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right by such Party. Additionally, all Parties hereto recognize that, because of the nature of the

 

24


subject matter of this Agreement, it would be impractical and extremely difficult to determine actual damages in the event of a breach of this Agreement. Accordingly, if SpineMedica, Acquisition Company, or MiMedx commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Agreement, any other appropriate Party hereto shall have the right to seek and receive a temporary restraining order, injunction or other equitable remedy relating to the prevention or cessation of such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, the right to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being mutually acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury and that monetary damages will not provide an adequate remedy. However, the remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 6.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed an original of this Agreement and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or an electronic image via e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, and delivery by telecopier or an electronic image via e-mail of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

Section 6.6 Section and Other Headings. The sections and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not define, limit or extend the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 6.7 Entire Agreement; Incorporation by Reference. All Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and all certificates, documents and other instruments contemplated to be delivered hereunder by the Parties hereto are hereby expressly made a part of this Agreement as fully as though set forth herein, and all references to this Agreement herein or in any of such writings shall be deemed to refer to and include all of such writings. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 6.8 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the Parties, or their respective successors or permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 6.9 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by the Parties hereto in any manner, except by a written instrument executed by all of the Parties hereto.

Section 6.10 Waiver. Any of the conditions precedent to the Closing set forth in Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time prior to or at the Closing by the Party entitled to the benefit thereof, and any failure of any Party to comply

 

25


with any of its obligations hereunder may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefit thereof. The failure of any Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part thereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision, and the single or partial exercise of any right hereunder by any Party shall not preclude any other or further exercise of such right or any other right by such Party or the other Party.

Section 6.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement in such jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or entity or any circumstance, is found to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid or enforceable, the unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons, entities or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.12 Third Parties. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the Parties to this Agreement, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 6.13 Expenses. Each Party shall bears its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
