Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the assets, properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. 1.5 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time and without further action on the part of the Parties, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with the respective terms thereof. 1.6 Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, in each case, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. 1.7 Conversion of Company Common Stock, Etc. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or the holders of the following securities: (a) All shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per share ("Company Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1.12) and any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled and retired pursuant to Section 1.8) shall be converted, on a pro rata basis, automatically into the right to receive 10,000,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of Parent, par value $0.001 per share ("Parent Common Stock") and 1,000,000 shares of the Parent's Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, having the rights, preferences, designations and privileges as set forth in Certificate of Designations attached hereto as Exhibit C ("Parent Preferred Stock"), which such shares of Parent Preferred Stock initially shall be convertible into 71,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock. 2 (b) From and after the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall automatically be redeemed and canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that previously represented any such share of Company Common Stock (each, a "Company Certificate" and, collectively, the "Company Certificates") shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive a certificate representing the shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.7, in each case, without interest (such shares of Parent Common Stock together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares being referred to herein as the "Merger Consideration"). 1.8 Cancellation of Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder, who has demanded and perfected his right to have the court fix the fair value of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the NJBCA and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right to appraisal ("Dissenting Shares"), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.7(a), but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by the NJBCA. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any withdrawals of any Dissenting Shares (and shall also give Parent prompt notice of any withdrawals of such demands for appraisal rights), and Parent shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Neither the Company nor the Surviving Corporation shall, except with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), voluntarily make any payments with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal rights. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.12(a), if any holder of shares of Company Common Stock who demands appraisal of such shares under the NJBCA shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his right to appraisal, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, such holder's shares of Company Common Stock shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Company Common Stock. 1.13 Exchange of Certificates. The procedures for exchanging outstanding shares of Company Common Stock for Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein as if set forth in full. 1.14 No Liability.

If, at any time and from time to time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest in the Surviving Corporation full right, title and possession of all properties, assets, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Company and Merger Sub shall be and are fully authorized and directed, in the name of and on behalf of their respective corporations, to take, or cause to be taken, all such lawful and necessary action as is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
