Article IV MANNERS AND BASIS OF EXCHANGING SHARES AND RELATED PROVISIONS The manner and basis of exchanging the issued and outstanding CBM Shares for shares of GALTECH and the mode of carrying the merger into effect are as follows: Each CBM Shareholder shall deposit a stock certificate or certificates representing their shares of CBM Common Stock authorized via the terms of this Exchange in custody with the Directors as custodial agents and attorneys-in-fact 6 to be held by them in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. To facilitate the actions taken by the Directors, or either of them, as custodial agent(s), pursuant to the consummation of the Exchange in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each CBM Shareholder irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Directors, or either of them, their true and lawful attorneys-in-fact, to: (a) hold the number of shares of each CBM Shareholder in custody, as custodial agent, pending the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement required to permit the Exchange on the Closing Date; (b) release from custody and exchange, assign, transfer and deliver to GALTECH stock certificates representing the number of CBM Shares upon the satisfaction of those terms and conditions of this Agreement required to permit the Exchange on the Closing Date; (c) complete, execute and deliver all such stock certificates, stock powers, orders, receipts and other writings and in general do all things and take all actions which they, in their sole discretion as Directors, or either of them, consider necessary or proper in connection with the consummation of the Exchange and to comply with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. (d) all shares of stock into which CBM Shares shall have been exchanged pursuant to this Article IV shall be issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such transferred shares. (e) the Boards of CBM and GALTECH agree, which forms the value bases of this Exchange, that JUST the applicable United States intellectual property (IP) owed by CBM being acquired in this Exchange by GALTECH, to be owned by CBM IP, Inc., notwithstanding nor including any IP coverage and value for other pipelines such as sewer and IP value applicable to other countries being acquired in this Exchange, this IP for the United States market has a minimum value as it is applicable to just community waterlines, of $77,458,000, based on an appraisal of that IP, commissioned by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., completed by Robinwood Consulting, Mark A. Peterson, the appraisal report dated January 17, 2006, when the footage of 8.387 billion feet of community waterlines is substituted for the 93 million feet used by Robinwood Consulting, without changing any methodology of that appraisal report, which is disagreed with, and with the substitution of the more correct footage of 8.387 billion feet, obtained from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and not withstanding that because of the cloud of the Wells Fargo asserted lien at the time of this transaction and the Scott Garrett lawsuit against CBM, both of which Directors believe have no merit, this "midpoint/average value" of $77,458,000 for U.S. IP, NOT INCLUDING VALUE OF OTHER IP COVERAGE BEING ACQUIRED BY GALTECH, would otherwise be reflected in the trading price of the GALTECH stock upon the completion of this Exchange, notwithstanding assertions made by Wells Fargo and Scott Garrett. The power of attorney granted to the Directors, as custodial agents or agent, is an agency coupled with an interest and all authority conferred hereby shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any of the CBM Shareholders or by operation of law, whether by death or incapacity of any of the CBM Shareholders or by the occurrence of any other event or events (including without limitation, the termination of any trust or estate for which 7 any CBM Shareholder may be acting as a fiduciary or the dissolution of any corporation or partnership). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article IV, after the date of the termination of this Agreement, if terminated without there being an Exchange, any of the CBM Shareholders shall have the power, upon written notice to the Directors, as custodial agent, to terminate the power of attorney granted in this Article IV subject, however, to all lawful actions done or performed pursuant to this Article IV prior to the receipt by the Directors of actual notice of such termination of the power of attorney. The Directors, or either of them, agree to accept the terms and conditions of the power of attorney granted to them by the CBM Shareholders in this Article IV. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date the CBM Shareholders agree to exchange, assign, transfer and deliver all of their CBM Shares for shares of GALTECH Stock and GALTECH agrees to exchange therefore and assign, transfer and deliver to the Directors, as custodial agents and attorneys-in-fact as provided in this Article IV, a total of 63,000,000 shares of GALTECH Stock as designated herein, with certificates totaling 63,000,000 in the amounts, to the parties, and in the designations as set forth herein in ARTICLE II. Upon the satisfaction of those terms and conditions of this Agreement required to permit the Exchange on the Closing Date, including any requirements of the FCC, the Directors, or either of them shall be, and they hereby are, authorized by the CBM Shareholders to release the shares of CBM Stock from custody and exchange, assign, transfer and deliver such shares to GALTECH in exchange for GALTECH shares as designated.
