(a) At the Effective Time:

(i) each share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, 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 ten (10) shares 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Common Stock as to which appraisal rights are perfected pursuant to the applicable provisions of the BCA and not withdrawn or otherwise forfeited), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock specified in Schedule 1.5 for each of the Stockholders, which shall be equal to one share of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock (based on 20,146,962 shares of Company Common Stock pre-Merger and 2,773,200 shares of Parent Common Stock on a fully diluted basis allocated to the Stockholders post-Merger); and

(iii) each share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled in the Merger and cease to exist.

Until the certificate, certificates or affidavit is or are surrendered together with the Subscription and Lock Up agreement 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 the Parent Common Stock specified in Schedule 1.5 hereof for the holder thereof or to perfect any rights of appraisal which such holder may have pursuant to the applicable provisions of the BCA.

1.7 Warrants.

(a) (i) At the Effective Time, all outstanding warrants issued by the Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Warrants”) that have not been surrendered by the holder thereof in exchange for Company Common Stock, will, at the Effective Time, be deemed be a warrant (the “Parent Warrants”) to acquire the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such Company Warrants would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such Company Warrants in full immediately prior to the Effective Time at a price per share of Parent Common Stock equal to the exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Company Warrant. Schedules 2.10 and 1.7(a)(i) attached hereto set forth the name of each holder of Company Warrants, the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that each such person may purchase pursuant to the exercise of his or her Company Warrants and the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock that each such person may purchase upon exercise of Parent Warrants acquired pursuant to this Section 1.7(a)(i). By its signature hereunder, Parent expressly assumes the obligation to issue Parent Common Stock to the holders of Parent Warrants upon exercise thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.7(a)(i).

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and the Parent shall take all corporate actions as may be necessary and desirable in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.7(a).

(b) Parent shall take all action necessary and appropriate, on or prior to the Effective Time, to authorize and reserve a number of shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient for issuance upon the exercise of Parent Warrants following the Effective Time as contemplated by this Section 1.7.

(c) Other than the Company Warrants, all options, warrants and rights to purchase Company Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Date will be exercised or terminated prior to or effective upon the Effective Time, and neither Parent nor Acquisition Corp. shall assume or have any obligation with respect to such options, warrants or rights.

1.8 Parent Common Stock
