1.2 Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective on the date and at the time the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL. The time at which the Merger shall become effective as aforesaid is referred to hereinafter as the “Effective Time.”

1.3 Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws, Directors and Officers; Parent Name Change.

(a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time until further amended in accordance with applicable law.

(b) The By-laws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time until amended in accordance with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such By-laws.

(c) The directors and officers listed in Exhibit “B” hereto shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation and the Parent, and each shall hold his respective office or offices from and after the Effective Time (except, in the case of directors, as described in Section 6.4) until his successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified in accordance with applicable law, or as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, the Parent shall file a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation changing its name to PowerVerde Solar Corporation.

1.4 Assets and Liabilities. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of a private nature, and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of Acquisition Corp. and the Company (collectively, the “Constituent Corporations”); and all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Constituent Corporations, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to any of the Constituent Corporations on whatever account, as well for stock subscriptions as all other things in action or belonging to each of the Constituent Corporations, shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation; and all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest shall be thereafter as effectively the property of the Surviving Corporation as they were of the several and respective Constituent Corporations, and the title to any real estate vested by deed or otherwise in either of the such Constituent Corporations shall not revert or be in any way impaired by the Merger; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of any of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it.

1.5 Manner and Basis of Converting Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time:

(i) each share of common stock, $.001 par value, of Acquisition Corp. that shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective

Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive one share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, so that at the Effective Time, Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation;

(ii) the shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), which shares at the Closing will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, beneficially owned by the Stockholders listed in Schedule 2.4 (other than shares of Company Common Stock as to which appraisal rights are perfected pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL and not withdrawn or otherwise forfeited), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into the right to receive 1.2053301 shares of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock; and

(b) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.6 Surrender and Exchange of Certificates. Promptly after the Effective Time and upon (i) surrender of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time or an affidavit and indemnification in form reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Parent stating that such Stockholder has lost its certificate or certificates or that such have been destroyed and (ii) delivery of a Representation Letter (as described in Section 4 hereof), Parent shall issue to each record holder of the Company Common Stock surrendering such certificate or certificates and Representation Letter, a certificate or certificates registered in the name of such Stockholder representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive as set forth in Section 1.5(a)(ii) hereof. Until the certificate, certificates or affidavit is or are surrendered together with the Representation letter as contemplated by this Section 1.6 and Section 4 hereof, each certificate or affidavit that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed at and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender as aforesaid 1.2053301 shares of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Stock previously held or to perfect any rights of appraisal which such holder may have pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

1.7 Parent Common Stock.

Parent further covenants that immediately prior to the Effective Time there will be no more than 1,294,144 shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding, and, except as set forth in Schedule 3.4, that no other common or preferred stock or equity securities or any options, warrants, rights or other agreements or instruments convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common or preferred stock or other equity securities shall be issued or outstanding.
