WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Sub and Fast, respectively deem it advisable and in the best interest of each entity and their respective shareholders that Sub merges with and into Fast pursuant to those terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Articles of Merger or Certificate of Merger to be filed and pursuant to applicable provisions of law (such transaction is hereafter referred to as the “Merger”);
 
WHEREAS, each of the parties to this Agreement desires to make certain representations, warranties, and agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and also to prescribe various conditions thereto.

The Fast shareholders shall receive the number of shares that will constitute ninety-two per cent (92%) of the issued and outstanding shares of North after the Closing or Effective Time of the Merger.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that this transaction qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related sections thereunder.
 
SECTION 2.   TERMS OF MERGER.
 
In accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the requirements of applicable law, Sub will be merged with and into Fast as of the Effective Time of the Merger.  Fast will be the surviving corporation (hereafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) as the wholly owned subsidiary of North and the separate existence of Sub will cease at the Effective Time of the Merger.  Fast as the Surviving Corporation, will succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of Sub in accordance with applicable law, as described below.  Consummation of the Merger will be upon the following terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
 
 
 

 
(a) Corporate Existence.  Commencing at the Effective Time of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Sub will cease and the Surviving Corporation will continue its corporate existence as a Delaware corporation: and

(ii) all debts due to either of the Constituent Corporations, on whatever account, all causes in action and all other things belonging to either of the Constituent Corporations, will, except as otherwise set forth herein, be taken and deemed to be transferred to and will be vested in the Surviving Corporation by virtue of the Merger without further act or deed; and
 
(iii) all rights of creditors and all liens, if any, upon any property of any of the Constituent Corporations will be preserved unimpaired, limited in lien to the property affect by such  liens immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, and all debts, liabilities, and duties of the Constituent Corporation will thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation.
 
(b) Effective Time of the Merger.  At the Effective Time of the Merger,

(ii) the members of the Board of Directors of Sub holding office immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger will resign as directors and executive officers, effective at the Effective Time of the Merger and the incumbent directors of Fast will remain as the directors of the Surviving Corporation; and

(i) The shares of Fast common stock on a fully diluted basis will be converted into the right to receive an aggregate number of shares of North common stock to constitute ninety-two per cent (92%) of the issued and outstanding shares of North. “Fully diluted” shall mean that Fast shall include all shares it will issue in connection with its present obligation to others. Holders of certificates previously evidencing shares of Fast common stock outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger, will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Fast common stock, except as otherwise provided herein or by law.  Those persons receiving shares of North common stock and the number of shares to be received pursuant to the terms of the Merger and this Agreement are set forth in Attachment No. 2(c) annexed hereto.
 
 
 

 
(ii) Any shares of Fast capital stock held in the treasury of Fast immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, will automatically be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment will be made with respect thereto.  After the Merger, the stock transfer books of Fast will be closed and thereafter, there will be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of any shares of Fast common stock.
 
(iii) The one share of common stock of Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger will remain in existence as one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, which will be owned solely by North.
 
(d) Restricted Securities.
 
(i) None of the shares of North common stock into which the shares of Fast common stock are to be converted will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but will be deemed to have been issued pursuant to an exemption or exemptions therefrom (subject to the satisfaction of certain other terms and conditions hereof) and will be considered “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.  All shares of North common stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of that Act and/or Regulation D, Rule 506 promulgated thereunder or other exemption, and certificates representing the shares will bear a restrictive legend worded substantially as follows and as may otherwise be required:
“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act.  The shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the corporation.”
 
(ii) At the Closing, North will direct its transfer agent to record as soon as practicable after the Closing, the issuance of North common stock to the holders of Fast common stock pursuant to the provisions set forth above.  The transfer agent will annotate its records to reflect the restrictions on transfer embodied in the legend set forth above.  There will be no requirement of North to register under the Securities Act any shares of Fast common stock in connection with the Merger.
 
(e) Other Matters.
 
(i) Immediately prior to the Merger, Fast shall notify North as to the number of shares of common stock it has issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis.  North will have no more than 13,251,250 shares of North common stock outstanding which shares are prior to the reverse split.  There are no other series of common stock or preferred stock of either Fast or North issued and outstanding.
 
 
 

 
(ii) Immediately prior to the Closing, North’s Board of Directors will nominate and elect directors of the North Board, Vivian Liu, Henry Esber, Ph.

(iii) Upon the execution of this Agreement North will make the appropriate requisite notice filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to report the contemplated transaction and will also make such other filings and notifications with the SEC and state regulatory agencies as may be necessitated by this Agreement.
 
(iv) Prior to the Closing North will take all necessary and requisite actions to amendits Articles of Incorporation and change its corporate name to Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and adopt resolutions providing for a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of North on the basis of ten shares into one share of common stock and providing for authorized shares of common stock of 150,000,000 shares, par value of $.001 per share.  North will prepare such documents and make such filings necessary to amend North’s Articles of Incorporation.
 
(v) If at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary, desirable, or prudent to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, the officers and directors of North are hereby fully authorized to take, and will use their reasonable efforts to take all such lawful and necessary action.
 
SECTION 3.  DELIVERY OF SHARES.
 
On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time of the Merger, Fast will use its reasonable efforts to cause the holders of Fast common stock (“Fast Shareholders”) to surrender to North’s transfer agent for cancellation all certificates or other evidences of ownership representing shares of Fast common stock, against delivery of certificates representing the shares of North common stock for which Fast common stock is to be converted in the Merger pursuant to Section 2 hereof.  Each Fast Shareholder will be required prior to or upon surrender of their Fast common stock to deliver to North an “investment letter” or other written instrument acceptable to the parties hereto, providing, among other things, whether or not the investor is an “accredited investor” as defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act.  Until surrendered and exchanged as provided herein, each outstanding certificate which prior to the Effective Time of the Merger represented Fast common stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the number of shares of North common stock into which the shares of Fast common stock represented by such Fast certificate will be converted hereunder.
