ARTICLE II
Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock; Exchange Procedures
Section 2.01 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of either Party or the holder of any capital stock of the Company or Medeor:
(a) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time ("Company Common Stock") shall remain unchanged in the hands of the holder thereof and thereafter represent one (1) outstanding share of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(b) Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Medeor issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time ("Medeor Common Stock") shall be converted into and thereafter reflect the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Per Share Merger Consideration" shall be calculated as the number equal to: (i) the Merger Consideration divided by (ii) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Medeor Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. For illustrative purposes only, if there are 187,170.17 shares of Medeor Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be 134 (25,000,000/187,170.17, rounded up to the nearest whole number as per Section 2.07 below), so that each share of Medeor Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall immediately after the Effective Time represent the right to receive 134 shares of newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's common stock.
(c) If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, the Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares.
(d) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Company shall appoint either itself or an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to Medeor (in either case, the "Exchange Agent") to act as the agent for the purpose of exchanging the Merger Consideration for the stock certificates evidencing Medeor Common Stock (collectively, the “Certificates”). The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Medeor Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Company shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Medeor Common Stock at the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.
(e) Each holder of shares of Medeor Common Stock that shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. Until so surrendered and subject to the terms set forth herein, each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, each Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled or deemed cancelled.
(f) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any of the Certificates are lost, stolen, mutilated or otherwise destroyed, the owner of the Medeor Common Stock otherwise represented thereby, may instead submit to the Company an affidavit of lost instrument as a condition to the delivery of such owner's share of the Merger Consideration.
Section 2.02 Cancellation of Medeor Shares. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Medeor Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Medeor Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article II.
Section 2.03 No Further Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Medeor Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Medeor Common Stock two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
Section 2.04 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Medeor shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Medeor Common Stock theretofore outstanding on the records of Medeor. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates representing shares of Medeor Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided herein or by Law.
Section 2.05 Options, Warrants and Rights. Prior to the Effective Time, Medeor shall terminate or cause to be terminated, all unexercised stock options and warrants to purchase shares of Medeor Common Stock and all other rights to acquire or receive any equity securities of Medeor (whether or not exercisable) (collectively, the "Medeor Derivative Securities"), in each case that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time without the payment of consideration to the holders thereof.
Section 2.06 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Medeor Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing, and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Medeor Common Stock being referred to collectively as the "Dissenting Shares" until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder's appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder's right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Medeor Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Article II, without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share. Following the Effective Time, the Company shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands.
Section 2.07 Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, but rather the number of shares of Merger Consideration to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Section 2.08 Withholding Rights. The Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Medeor or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Medeor or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.
Section 2.09 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Company, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Medeor Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article II.
