ARTICLE I. THE MERGER

 

1.1 The Merger. Assuming receipt of FINRA approval of the Merger and Name Change, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, EZM shall merge with and into NCR at the Effective Time (as defined below).

The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the NRS and of the General Corporation Law of the State of Wyoming (“WGCL”).

NCR has timely filed (or has been deemed to have timely filed pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) all reports, forms and documents that it was required to file with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act  (the “NCR Previous Filings”). NCR shall notify EZM immediately and in writing of the filing of any additional forms, reports or documents with the SEC by NCR after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, provided that EZM is aware that NCR will timely file a Form 8-K Current Report with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (together with NCR Previous Filings, the “NCR SEC Filings”). NCR has timely filed (or has been deemed to have timely filed pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) and made publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system, and EZM may rely upon, all certifications and statements required by (i) Rule 13a-14 or Rule 15d-14 under the Exchange Act and (ii) Section 906 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to any documents filed with the SEC.
