2.4           Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a)           Certificate of Incorporation.  Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, as of the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read the same as the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation.

(b)           Bylaws.  Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, as of the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.

2.5           Directors and Officers.

(a)           Directors.  Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

(b)           Officers.  Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until their successors are duly appointed and qualified.

2.6           Capital Stock of Constituent Corporations.

(a)           Merger Sub Capital Stock.  Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of corresponding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.  Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares of capital stock of Merger Sub shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of corresponding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)           Company Capital Stock.  Immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each share of each series of Preferred Stock held by Stockholders that is issued and outstanding (other than Dissenting Shares) will be converted into Company Common Stock and (ii) subject to Section 2.6(e), each Company Warrant shall be deemed exercised on a cashless basis and converted into Company Common Stock in accordance with its terms.  Then, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Sections 2.6(e), (f) and Section 2.8), at the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof (except as expressly provided herein), be converted into and represent the right to receive (without interest) a pro rata share, based on shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, of an aggregate number of shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $18,000,000 multiplied by the Minority Percentage by (ii) $0.10 (the “Merger Shares”).

 
-9-

 

(c)           Parent- or Company-Owned Company Capital Stock.  Notwithstanding Section 2.6(b), each share of Company Capital Stock held by Parent or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

(d)           Company Options.  

(i)            Company Options.  At the Effective Time, each then outstanding Company Option, whether or not exercisable at the Effective Time and regardless of its exercise price, will be assumed by Parent.  Each Company Option assumed by Parent under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, its original terms and conditions, as set forth in the documents evidencing such Company Option (including the Company’s Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended, and any stock option agreement), in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that (i) each such Company Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio (defined below), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.  Each assumed Company Option shall be vested immediately following the Effective Time as to the same percentage of the total number of shares subject thereto as it was vested immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent that such Company Option, by its terms as of the Effective Time, provides for acceleration of vesting upon the Effective Time.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Option Exchange Ratio” shall mean a fraction equal to (A) the Per Company Common Share Merger Consideration divided by (B) the volume-weighted average Closing Price for the 15-Trading Day period immediately preceding the Closing Date.  At least 10 days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall notify each holder of Company Options that they will be assumed by Parent in accordance with this Section 2.6(d)(i) and shall obtain the written consent of each holder of Company Options to such assumption by Parent.

(ii)           Incentive Stock Options.  The conversion of Company Options provided for in Section 2.6(d)(i), with respect to any Company Option which is intended to be an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code), shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code.

(e)            Company Warrants.  At least 10 days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall notify each holder of Company Warrants that Company Warrants will not be assumed and converted by Parent or Merger Sub and that, therefore, all Company Warrants will be deemed exercised on a cashless basis immediately prior to the Effective Time and converted into Company Common Stock in accordance with their terms.

(f)            Certificate Legends.  The certificates evidencing shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall bear the following legend (in addition to any other legend required by law):

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO, (II) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 OR (III) PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

(g)           Fractional Shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued.  In lieu thereof, each Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such Stockholder) shall be entitled to receive from Parent one additional whole share of Parent Common Stock.

(h)           Adjustments.  The definitions above shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock), or other distribution in respect of Parent Common Stock, reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

2.7           Dissenting Shares.

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock (“Dissenting Shares”) held by a Stockholder who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such Stockholder’s dissenters’ rights under the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CGCL, as applicable, shall not be converted into, or represent a right to receive, the consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 2.6 hereof, but such Stockholder shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by the DGCL or CGCL, as applicable.

 
-11-

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s dissenters’ rights under the DGCL or CGCL, as applicable, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock, as applicable, set forth in Section 2.6, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate representing such Dissenting Shares.

(d)           Distributions With Respect to Shares Not Surrendered.  No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any Certificate that has not been surrendered with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate to the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 2.8.  Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of record of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for the surrender of such Certificate, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

 
-12-

 

(e)           Transfers of Ownership.  If any certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered on the books and records of the Company and as set forth in the Spreadsheet, it will be a condition of the issuance or delivery thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have (i) paid to Parent, or any agent designated by Parent, any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or (ii) established to the satisfaction of Parent, or any agent designated by Parent, that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f)           No Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8, none of the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

2.9           No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock.  The shares of Parent Common Stock paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.10           Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  In the event any Certificates evidencing shares of Company Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such amount, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.6; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to either (i) deliver a bond in such amount as it may reasonably direct or (ii) provide an indemnification agreement, in form and substance acceptable to Parent, against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been so lost, stolen or destroyed.
