(i)            Exchange Shares issuable to U.S. Persons.  Exchange Shares issuable to holders of Company Capital Stock, respectively, who are resident in the U.S. or otherwise defined as “U.S. Persons” in Regulation S under the Securities Act shall be issued in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and under analogous state securities laws, on the grounds that the Securities Exchange does not involve any public offering. The Exchange Shares issuable to U.S. Persons will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from the Securities Act’s registration requirements is available for their resale.  The prior written consent of the Company will be necessary for any transfer of any or all of the Exchange Shares, unless the shares have been duly registered under the Securities Act or the transfer is made in accordance with Rule 144 or other available exemption under the Securities Act.  All certificates evidencing the Exchange Shares issued to U.S. Persons shall, unless and until removed in accordance with law, bear a restrictive legend substantially in the following form:

“The securities represented by this Certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act.  These securities may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act.”

 

 

(ii)           Exchange Shares Issuable to Non-U.S. Persons.  Exchange Shares issuable to holders of Company Capital Stock, who are not resident in the United States of America or otherwise “U.S. Persons” shall be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act, on the grounds that the issuance and delivery of the Exchange Shares, as applicable, to such persons does not involve the sale of a security within the meaning of Section 5 of the Securities Act.  The Exchange Shares issuable to non-U.S. Persons will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S and may not be resold in the United States of America or to any U.S. Person during the six-month “distribution compliance period” following the Closing.  Any resales of Exchange Shares in the United States of America or to a U.S. Person following expiration of such period must be made pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the Securities Act’s registration requirements.  Any hedging transactions involving Exchange Shares must be conducted in compliance with the Securities Act.  All certificates evidencing the Exchange Shares issued to non-U.S. Persons shall, unless and until removed after expiration of the distribution compliance period, bear a restrictive legend substantially in the following form:

“The securities evidenced by this certificate and any underlying common shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (“Act”) but have been offered and sold in reliance upon Regulation S under the Act.  Transfer of these securities is prohibited except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act.  Any hedging transactions involving these securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Act.”

               Section 2.2            Closing.

The closing of the Securities Exchange (the “Closing”) will take place as at date of the execution of this Agreement by both parties, unless another time or date, or both, are agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.  

               Section 2.3            Effectiveness.

The Securities Exchange shall be effective upon the Closing.

Section 2.4            Exchange of Company Certificates.

 

 

(a)          Promptly after the Closing Date, the Purchaser, and/or its duly appointed Exchange Agent, shall cause to be mailed to each shareholder of the Company that has accepted the Offer, as of the Closing Date, a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Company Certificates”) in exchange for IMA Common Stock.  Upon surrender of a Company Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents reasonably acceptable to the Company as may be appointed by the Purchaser, together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Company Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable number of shares of IMA Common Stock (based on the conversion ratio set forth in Section 2.1(a)) for each share of Company Capital Stock represented by such Company Certificate, and the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Company Certificate so surrendered shall be transferred to the Purchaser.  The Purchaser reserves the right for certain U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to the Company’s consent, to make a cash payment to any tendering Company shareholder in lieu of IMA Common Stock for any part of the Company Capital Stock tendered, but such cash consideration shall not exceed $5,000 dollars in total.  This cash consideration may or may not be provided pro rata to exchanging Company shareholders, as determined by the parties for administrative convenience.  If the shares of IMA Common Stock are to be issued in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Company Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of issuance that instructions to that effect shall be delivered to the Exchange Agent with the Company Certificate and that the Person requesting such issuance shall have paid all transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the issuance to a Person other than the registered holder of the Company Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Purchaser that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4(b), each Company Certificate held by a shareholder of the Company that has accepted the Offer shall be deemed after the Closing Date to represent only the right to receive the shares of IMA Common Stock (based on the conversion ratio set forth in Section 2.1(a)) for each share of Company Capital Stock as contemplated by this Section 2.4(b).

               (b)         In the event any Company Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Certificate(s) to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Purchaser, the posting by such Person of a bond in such sum as the Purchaser may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Certificate(s), the Exchange Agent will issue the IMA Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(b) deliverable in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates.

Except as set forth on the schedule delivered by the Company to the Purchaser prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), the Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser that all of the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement (or, if made as of a specified date, as of such date), and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date as though made on the Closing Date.  Matters disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule pursuant to any Section thereof shall be deemed to be disclosed on each of the other Sections of the Company Disclosure to the extent the applicability of the disclosure to such other Section is reasonably inferable from the disclosure made.
