Section
1.1. The
Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined below) and upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the General
Corporation Law of the State of Nevada (the “NGCL”), SUB CO shall be merged with
and into GRP (the “Merger”), pursuant to NRS 92A.100. Following the Merger, GRP

1.2. Effective
Time. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, a
Certificate of Merger (the “Merger Certificate”) shall be duly executed and
acknowledged by each of GRP, SUB CO and MGOL, and thereafter the Merger

of the State of Nevada for filing pursuant to the NGCL on the Closing Date (as
defined in Section 1.3). The Merger shall become effective on August 1, 2009, as
set forth in the Merger Certificate (the time at which the Merger becomes

earlier time as the Parties can complete the terms and conditions as set forth
herein.
1
Section
1.3. Closing of the
Merger. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place on
August 1, 2009 upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 5 (the
“Closing Date”), at the offices of Xxxxxxxxxx Law Group, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx,

agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.
Section
1.4. Effects of the
Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the NGCL. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective
Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers of SUB CO shall vest in the
Surviving Entity, and all debts, liabilities and duties of SUB CO shall become
the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Entity. Concurrently, GRP
shall remain a wholly owned subsidiary of MGOL.
Section
1.5. Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws. The Articles of Organization and Operating
Agreement of GRP in the respective forms delivered by GRP to MGOL prior to the
date of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will be the
Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement of the Surviving
Entity.
Section
1.6. Board of
Directors and Officers.
|
|
(a)
|
Board of Directors of SUB
CO. At or prior to the Effective Time, MGOL agrees to take such
action as is necessary (i) to cause the number of directors comprising the
full Board of Directors of SUB CO to be one (1) person and (ii) to cause
Xxxx Xxxx, (the “MGOL Designee”) to be elected as the sole
director of SUB CO.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Board of Directors of
MGOL. At or prior to the Effective Time, each of GRP and MGOL
agrees to take such action as is necessary (i) to cause the number of
directors comprising the full Board of Directors of MGOL to be at least
one but possibly three (3) persons and (ii) to cause Xxxx Xxxx, and two
other board members (the “GRP Designee(s)”) to be elected as directors of
MGOL. If the GRP Designee(s) shall decline or be unable to serve as a
director prior to the Effective Time, GRP shall nominate other persons to
serve in such persons’ stead, which persons shall be subject to approval
of the other party. From and after the Effective Time, and until
successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with
applicable law, the managing members of the Surviving Entity, shall remain
as the managing members of the Surviving Entity. Additionally, prior to
the Effective Time, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx (“Xxxxxx”), the existing Chief
Executive Officer, and director of MGOL, and any other officer of MGOL,
shall resign upon execution of this Agreement, and pursuant to the terms
of the termination agreement (“Termination Agreement”) between Xxxxxx and
MGOL. Upon the resignation of Xxxxxx, until successors are duly elected or
appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable law, Xxxx Xxxx shall
be Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer of
MGOL.
|
2
Section
1.7. Conversion of
Membership Interest.
|
|
(a)
|
At
the Effective Time, each membership interest of GRP (“Membership
Interest”) (individually a "GRP Membership Interest" and collectively, the
"GRP Membership Interests ") issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action
on the part of GRP, MGOL, or the holder thereof, be converted into and
shall become fully paid and nonassessable MGOL common shares determined by
dividing (i) Ten Million Two Hundred Fifty-eight Thousand, Eight Hundred
Twenty-One (10,258,821), by (ii) the total number of Membership Interests
of GRP, One Hundred Twelve Million (112,000,000) outstanding Membership
Interests immediately prior to the Effective Time (such quotient, the
“Exchange Ratio”). The holder of one or more Membership Interests of GRP
shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore a number of shares of
MGOL Common Stock equal to the product of (x) (the number of Membership
Interests of GRP (112,000,000)), times (y) (the Exchange Ratio. By way of
example, 10,258,821 / 112,000,000 = .0916 (the Exchange Ratio). The number
of Membership Interests of GRP held by a member (assume 100,000 Membership
Interests) times the Exchange Ratio of .0916 equals 9,160 shares of MGOL
Shares to be issued. In the event that, subsequent to the date of this
Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of MGOL
Common Stock or GRP Membership Interests are changed into a different
number of Membership Interests or Shares or a different class as a result
of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, subdivision,
reclassification, combination, exchange, recapitalization or similar
transaction, the number of shares of MGOL Common Stock into which each
share of GRP Common Stock will be converted as a result of the Merger will
be adjusted appropriately.
|
|
|
(b)
|
GRP
hereby acknowledges that (i) the MGOL Shares have not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) or under the
securities laws of any state and, therefore, the MGOL Shares cannot be
resold unless they are subsequently registered under said laws or
exemptions from such registrations as are available; and (ii) the
transferability of the Shares is restricted and that a legend shall be
placed on the certificates representing the securities substantially to
the following effect:
|
3
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”). THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
IN THE ABSENCE OF A CURRENT AND EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT
WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES, OR AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER AND ITS
COUNSEL TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE
ACT.
|
|
(c)
|
At
the Effective Time, each GRP Membereship Interest held in the treasury of
GRP, by GRP immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of
the Merger and without any action on the part of GRP, SUB CO or MGOL be
canceled, retired and cease to exist and no payment shall be made with
respect thereto.
|
Section
1.8. Exchange of
Certificates.
|
|
(a)
|
Prior
to the Effective Time, MGOL shall enter into an agreement with, and shall
deposit with, Xxxxxxxxxx Law Group or such other agent or agents as may be
satisfactory to MGOL and GRP (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of
the holders of GRP Membership Interests, for exchange through the Exchange
Agent in accordance with this Article I: certificates representing the
appropriate number of MGOL Shares to be issued to holders of GRP
Membership Interests issuable pursuant to Section 1.7 in exchange for
outstanding GRP Membership
Interests.
|
|
|
(b)
|
As
soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange
Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates
which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding GRP
Membership Interests (the “Certificates”) whose Membership Interest were
converted into the right to receive MGOL Shares pursuant to Section 1.7:
(i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be
effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only
upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in
such form and have such other provisions as GRP and MGOL may reasonably
specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
Certificates in exchange for certificates representing MGOL Shares. Upon
surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with such
letter of transmittal, duly executed, and any other required documents,
the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange
therefore a certificate representing that number of whole MGOL Shares and
the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event
of a transfer of ownership of GRP Membership Interests which are not
registered in the transfer records of GRP, a certificate representing the
proper number of MGOL Shares may be issued to a transferee if the
Certificate representing such GRP Membership Interests is presented to the
Exchange Agent accompanied by all documents required by the Exchange Agent
or MGOL to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any
applicable Membership Interest transfer or other taxes have been paid.
Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8, each Certificate
shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the
right to receive upon such surrender the certificate representing MGOL
Shares as contemplated by this Section
1.8.
|
4
|
|
(c)
|
No
dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time
with respect to MGOL Shares with a record date after the Effective Time
shall be paid to the holder of any un-surrendered Certificate with respect
to the MGOL Shares represented thereby until the holder of record of such
Certificate shall surrender such
Certificate.
|
|
|
(d)
|
In
the event that any Certificate for GRP Membership Interests or MGOL Shares
shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue
in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
holder thereof such MGOL Shares and cash in lieu of fractional MGOL
Shares, if any, as may be required pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
however, that MGOL or the Exchange Agent, may, in its respective
discretion, require the delivery of a suitable bond, opinion or
indemnity.
|
|
|
(e)
|
All
MGOL Shares issued upon the surrender for exchange of GRP Membership
Interests in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been
issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such GRP
Membership Interests. There shall be no further registration of transfers
on the stock transfer books of either of GRP or MGOL of the GRP Membership
Interests or MGOL Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented
to MGOL for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided
in this Article I.
|
|
|
(f)
|
No
fractional MGOL Shares shall be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof
each holder of GRP Membership Interests otherwise entitled to a fractional
MGOL Share shall, upon surrender of its, his or her Certificate or
Certificates, be entitled to receive an additional share to round up to
the nearest round number of shares.
|
Section
1.9. Membership
Interest Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to
purchase GRP Membership Interests, if any (a “GRP Membership Interest Option” or
collectively, “GRP Membership Interest Options”) issued pursuant to any GRP
Membership Interest Option Plan or GRP Long Term Incentive Plan, if any, whether
vested or unvested, shall be cancelled.
5
Section
1.10. Warrants.
At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase GRP Membership
Interests, if any (a “GRP Warrant” or collectively, “GRP Warrants”) issued and
pursuant to any GRP Warrant Agreement as disclosed in Schedule 3.2 shall convert
to the right to receive replacement MGOL Warrants, adjusted to reflect the
proportionate reduction in number of shares as set forth in section 1.7 above.
The Exercise Price per GRP Warrant in effect at the time of the record date for
the determination of Members entitled to receive Membership Interests pursuant
to section 1.7 shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by
multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the number of Membership Interests outstanding immediately prior to such action,
and the denominator of which shall be the number of Membership Interests
outstanding after giving effect to such action. Such adjustment shall
be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur and shall
become effective at the close of business on such record date or at the close of
business on the date immediately preceding such effective date, as
applicable.
Section 1.11. Cancellation
of MGOL Shares. Concurrent with the closing of the Merger, the 7,500,000 shares
of restricted common stock held by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx will be cancelled.
Additionally, concurrent with closing, 1,000,000 shares of restricted common
stock held by Xxxxxxxxxx Law Group will be cancelled.
Section
1.12. Taking of
Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective
Time, GRP or MGOL reasonably determines that any deeds, assignments, or
instruments or confirmations of transfer are necessary or desirable to carry out
the purposes of this Agreement and to vest MGOL with full right, title and
possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of
GRP, the officers and directors of MGOL and GRP are fully authorized in the name
of their respective entities or otherwise to take, and will take, all such
lawful and necessary or desirable action. It is anticipated by GRP and MGOL that
upon completion of the Post Closing Conditions as set forth in the attached Post
Closing Conditions Schedule, that GRP will maintain title to any and all
entities set forth in the Post Closing Conditions Schedule, as subsidiaries of
GRP.
ARTICLE
2
Representations
and Warranties of MGOL
Except
as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule delivered by MGOL and SUB CO to GRP (the
“MGOL Disclosure Schedule”), MGOL and SUB CO hereby represent and warrant to GRP
as follows:
Section
2.1. Organization and
Qualification.

(a)
|
Each
of MGOL and SUB CO is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization and each has all requisite power and authority to own, lease
and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing and in
good standing or to have such power and authority would not have a
Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) on MGOL. When used in
connection with MGOL, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means any change
or effect (i) that is or is reasonably likely to be materially adverse to
the business, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects of MGOL, other than any change or effect arising out of general
economic conditions unrelated to any business in which MGOL is engaged, or
(ii) that may impair the ability of MGOL to perform its obligations
hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.
|

|
|
(b)
|
MGOL
has heretofore delivered to GRP accurate and complete copies of the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (or similar governing documents), as
currently in effect, of MGOL. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1 of the
MGOL Disclosure Schedule, MGOL is duly qualified or licensed and in good
standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the property owned,
leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it
makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such
jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in
good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on
MGOL.
|
Section
2.2. Capitalization of
MGOL.
|
|
(a)
|
The
authorized capital stock of MGOL consists of: (i) One Billion

orders and approvals of all Governmental Entities necessary for the lawful
conduct of their respective businesses (the “MGOL Permits”), except for failures
to hold such permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals
which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on MGOL. Except as publicly
disclosed by MGOL in the MGOL SEC Reports, MGOL is in compliance with the terms
of the MGOL Permits, except where the failure to so comply would not have a
Material Adverse Effect on MGOL. Except as publicly disclosed by MGOL in the

benefit plans (other than stock option or other plans involving the potential

than those currently provided by GRP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
contained herein shall be construed as requiring the parties to continue any
specific employee benefit plans.
Section
4.10. Public
Announcements. GRP and MGOL will consult with one another before issuing
any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the

permitted by applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each
person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or
who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer or employee
of the parties hereto or any subsidiary thereof (each an “Indemnified
Party” and, collectively, the ‘‘Indemnified Parties”) against all losses,
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), claims,
damages or liabilities or, subject to the proviso of the next succeeding
sentence, amounts paid in settlement arising out of actions or omissions
occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and whether asserted or
claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time) that are in whole or in
part (i) based on, or arising out of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer or employee of such party or a subsidiary of such party
or (ii) based on, arising out of or pertaining to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of any such loss expense,
claim, damage or liability (whether or not arising before the Effective
Time), (i) MGOL shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
selected by the Indemnified Parties, which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to MGOL, promptly after statements therefore are received and
otherwise advance to such Indemnified Party upon request reimbursement of
documented expenses reasonably incurred, in either case to the extent not
prohibited by the NGCL or its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii)
MGOL will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) any
determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnified
Party’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under the NGCL and
MGOL’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws shall be made by independent
counsel mutually acceptable to MGOL and the Indemnified Party; provided,
however, that MGOL shall not be liable for any settlement effected without
its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm with
respect to each related matter except to the extent there is, in the
opinion of counsel to an Indemnified Party, under applicable standards of
professional conduct, conflict on any significant issue between positions
of any two or more Indemnified
Parties.

person, then and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so
that the successors and assigns of MGOL shall assume the obligations set
forth in this Section 4.11.
|
|
|

|
To
the fullest extent permitted by law, from and after the Effective Time,

agents, directors or officers of MGOL and GRP and their subsidiaries with
respect to their activities as such prior to the Effective Time, as
provided in MGOL’s and GRP’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or
articles of organization or operating agreement, in effect on the date
thereof or otherwise in effect on the date hereof, shall survive the

Section
4.12. Notification of
Certain Matters. The parties hereto shall give prompt notice to the other

nonoccurrence of which would be likely to cause any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect
at or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any material failure of such party to
comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with
