AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the "Agreement"), dated as of May 3, 2001, by and among EFTC CORPORATION, a Colorado corporation ("EFTC"), K*TEC ELECTRONICS HOLDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("K*TEC"), ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ FUNDING II, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("TBF II"), and EXPRESS EMS CORPORATION, a newly-formed Delaware corporation with nominal capitalization, the issued and outstanding capital stock of which is nominally owned by EFTC ("Parent").

WHEREAS, EFTC, K*TEC and Parent entered in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 2, 2001 (the "Merger Agreement"), and desire to amend and restate such agreement to substitute K*TEC's sole stockholder as a party to the K*TEC Merger (as defined);

WHEREAS, ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Funding, L.L.C. ("TBF"), owns a controlling interest in EFTC and TBF II is an affiliate of TBF and owns all of the outstanding capital stock of K*TEC;

WHEREAS, because of the ownership of such interests in EFTC, TBF II and K*TEC by affiliated entities the board of directors of EFTC formed a special committee (the "Special Committee") to evaluate a proposal by K*TEC to combine the businesses of EFTC and K*TEC;

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of EFTC and K*TEC and the Special Committee and the sole member of TBF II deem it advisable and in the best interests of each entity and its respective stockholders or member that EFTC and TBF II combine in order to advance the interests of EFTC and TBF II and their respective shareholders or member;

WHEREAS, Parent has determined to reincorporate EFTC in Delaware by merging it with and into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary Delaware corporation of EFTC following the combination of EFTC and TBF II;

WHEREAS, the combination of EFTC and TBF II shall be effected by the terms of this Agreement through (i) a merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent with and into EFTC and (ii) a merger of another wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent with and into TBF II, such that EFTC and TBF II become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent and the stockholders of EFTC and the member of TBF II become shareholders of Parent;

WHEREAS, immediately after the consummation of such mergers of EFTC and K*TEC all outstanding stock of EFTC and membership units of TBF II ("TBF II Units") (as the surviving entities in the mergers) will be transferred by Parent to a newly formed entity ("Parent Sub") in exchange for shares of common stock of Parent Sub, so that, after giving effect to the transaction, (x) Parent Sub is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and (y) TBF II and EFTC (as the surviving corporations in the mergers) are direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent Sub, respectively;

WHEREAS, for Federal income tax purposes, it is intended that (i) the EFTC Merger (as defined in Section 1.2) shall qualify as a reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and/or, taken together with the K*TEC Merger (as defined in Section 1.3), as a transfer of property described in Section 351 of the Code to Parent by holders of EFTC Common Stock and (as defined in Section 2.1) and TBF II Units (as defined in Section 2.2) (ii) the K*TEC Merger, taken together with the EFTC Merger, shall qualify as a transfer of property described in Section 351 of the Code to Parent by holders of TBF II Units and EFTC Common Stock and (iii) the EFTC Reincorporation Merger (as defined in Section 1.2) shall constitute a "reorganization" under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code;

WHEREAS, for accounting purposes, it is intended that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control;

WHEREAS, TBF, ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Funding III, L.L.C. ("TBF III") and EFTC have entered into an agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which, among other things, TBF has agreed to convert into shares of EFTC Common Stock, all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of EFTC and the Senior Subordinated Convertible Note due June 30, 2006 of EFTC, on or before May 31, 2001; and

WHEREAS, the Special Committee and the Boards of Directors of EFTC and K*TEC and the sole member of TBF II have approved this Agreement.

ARTICLE II.
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Conversion of EFTC Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the EFTC Merger and without any action on the part of any of the parties hereto or the holders of any shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of EFTC ("EFTC Common Stock") or common stock of EFTC Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of EFTC Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of EFTC Sub shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the EFTC Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and K*TEC-Owned Stock. All shares of EFTC Common Stock that are owned by EFTC as treasury stock and any shares of EFTC Common Stock owned by TBF II or any wholly-owned Subsidiary (as defined in Section 3.1) of TBF II shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist and no stock of Parent or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Exchange Ratio for EFTC Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.4(e), each issued and outstanding share of EFTC Common Stock (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive 0.25 shares (the "EFTC Exchange Ratio") of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent ("Parent Common Stock"). All such shares of EFTC Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares shall cease to have any ownership or other rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock and an amount equal to certain dividends and other distributions described in Section 2.4(c), without interest, upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.4.

Section 2.2 Conversion of TBF II Units. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the K*TEC Merger and without any action on the part of any of the parties hereto or the holders of any TBF II Units or common stock of K*TEC Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of K*TEC Sub. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of K*TEC Sub shall, in the aggregate, be converted into and become all of the outstanding units and/or membership interests of the K*TEC Surviving Entity.

(b) [Intentionally left blank.]

(c) Exchange of TBF II Units. Subject to Section 2.4(e) and 2.2(d), all of the issued and outstanding TBF II Units shall be converted into the right to receive 15,127,174 shares of Parent Common Stock in the aggregate. All such TBF II Units, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and the holder of such units shall cease to have any ownership or other rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor and an amount equal to certain dividends and other distributions described in Section 2.4(c), in each case upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.4 and without interest.

(d) Adjustment to Number of Shares Received for TBF II Units. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by TBF III in the K*TEC Merger will be subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 2.2(d). To the extent and only to the extent that the Net Tangible Assets of K*TEC set forth on the Unaudited K*TEC Balance Sheet dated as of December 31, 2000 (as defined in Section 4.4B(a)) exceeds the Net Tangible Assets set forth on Audited K*TEC Balance Sheet (as defined in Section 5.21) by more than $5,000,000 (such excess, the "Net Tangible Assets Shortfall"), the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock for which all issued and outstanding shares of TBF II Units shall be converted into the right to receive shall be a number equal to (i) (A) 15,127,174 minus (ii) (A) the amount of the Net Tangible Assets Shortfall divided by (B) $11; provided, that, no further adjustment to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in exchange for TBF II Units will be made hereunder to the extent the Net Tangible Assets Shortfall exceeds $20,000,000. By way of example, if the Net Tangible Assets on the Unaudited K*TEC Balance Sheet exceeded the Net Tangible Assets on the Audited K*TEC Balance Sheet by $10,000,000, the Net Tangible Assets Shortfall would be $5,000,000, and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in exchange for TBF II Units would be adjusted such that the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock for which all outstanding shares of TBF II Units would be converted, would be reduced by (i) 5,000,000 divided by (ii) 11, or 454,545 shares. "Net Tangible Assets" means, at any date, (a) the Total Assets of K*TEC at such date (other than investments in and moneys due from an Affiliate of K*TEC other than K*TEC and its Subsidiaries) minus (b) Total Liabilities of K*TEC at such date, excluding, however, from the determination of the Total Assets of K*TEC at such date, (a) all goodwill, organizational expenses, research and development expenses, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent applications, licenses, rights in any of the foregoing, and other similar intangibles (b) all prepaid expenses, deferred charges or unamortized debt discount and expense, (c) securities not readily marketable, (d) cash held in a sinking or other analogous fund established for the purpose of redemption, retirement, defeasance or prepayment of any stock or indebtedness, (e) any write-up in the book value of any asset resulting from a revaluation thereof and (f) any items not included in clauses (a) through (e) above but treated as intangibles in conformity with GAAP. "Total Assets" of K*TEC means, at any date, the total assets of K*TEC and its Subsidiaries at such date determined on a consolidated basis in conformity with GAAP.

Section 2.3 Cancellation of Parent Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any holder of any capital stock of EFTC or Parent or the member of TBF II, each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be surrendered and cancelled, and the amount paid by EFTC for the shares of Parent Common Stock held by it shall be returned by Parent to it.

Section 2.4 Exchange of Certificates. The procedures for exchanging certificates which prior to the Effective Time represented shares of EFTC Common Stock and TBF II Units for certificates representing Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Mergers are as follows:

(a) Exchange Agent. As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with a bank or trust company designated by TBF II and EFTC (the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of shares of EFTC Common Stock and TBF II Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.4, through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares (such shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"), issuable pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 in exchange for shares of EFTC Common Stock and TBF II Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Exchange Procedures. 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 shares of EFTC Common Stock (collectively, the "Certificates") whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock (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 EFTC and TBF II may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, of Parent Common Stock as provided below). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Exchange Agent to issue a certificate to TBF III for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in conversion of the TBF II Units pursuant to Section 2.2. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and an amount equal to certain dividends and other distributions which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of EFTC Common Stock prior to the Effective Time which is not registered in the transfer records of EFTC a certificate representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable and any amounts payable in accordance with this Agreement may be issued and paid to a transferee if the Certificate representing such EFTC Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No amount in respect of dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock the holder thereof is entitled to receive in respect thereof and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to subsection (e) below until the holder of record of such Certificate shall

surrender such Certificate to Parent in accordance herewith. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to subsection (e) below and an amount equal to the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time previously paid with respect to whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, an amount equal to the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to whole shares of Parent Common Stock, in each case without interest.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in EFTC Common Stock and TBF II Units. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to subsection (c) or (e) of this Section 2.4) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of EFTC Common Stock or TBF II Units theretofore represented by such Certificates, subject, however, to the applicable Surviving Entities' obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared or made by EFTC on such shares of EFTC Common Stock or by TBF II on such TBF II Units, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (to the extent permitted under Section 5.1) prior to the date hereof and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the EFTC Surviving Corporation or the K*TEC Surviving Entity, as the case may be, of the shares of EFTC Common Stock, on the one hand, or the TBF II Units, on the other hand, respectively, which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to one of the Surviving Entities or Parent for any reason, such Certificates shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.4.

(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates representing TBF II Units or shares of EFTC Common Stock, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of TBF II Units or shares of EFTC Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time exchanged pursuant to the K*TEC Merger or EFTC Merger, respectively, who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by four times the average per share last trade price of EFTC Common Stock (as quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market) for the last ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the former stockholders of EFTC or member of TBF II for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any former stockholder of EFTC or member of TBF II who has not previously complied with this Section 2.4 shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of such former stockholder's or member's claim for Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any amounts in respect of dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock.

(g) No Liability. None of EFTC, TBF II, Parent or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of shares of EFTC Common Stock or TBF II Units, as the case may be, for any shares of Parent Common Stock (or cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or any

dividends or distributions with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(h) Withholding Rights. Parent and each of the Surviving Entities shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to the holder of TBF II Units or any holder of Certificates which prior to the Effective Time represented shares of EFTC Common Stock or such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent or one of the Surviving Entities, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of EFTC Common Stock or TBF II Units, as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(i) 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 Parent or one of the Surviving Entities, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or such Surviving Entity 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 shares of Parent Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional shares, and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(j) Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, shares of Parent Common Stock shall not be exchanged for Certificates surrendered for exchange by any Affiliate (as defined in Section 5.11) of EFTC or issued in respect of cancelled TBF II Units until (i) Parent has received an Affiliate Agreement (as defined in Section 5.11) from such Affiliate or (ii) such date as such shares of Parent Common Stock are transferable under Rule 145(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Reg. § 1.1502-6 or comparable provisions of state, local or foreign tax law) and including any liability for Taxes of any predecessor entity, except for obligations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have an EFTC Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.13 Stock Plans.

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of EFTC Common Stock (an "EFTC Stock Option") under the EFTC Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such EFTC Stock Option the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such EFTC Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the EFTC Merger had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded downward to the nearest whole number), at a price per share (rounded upward to the nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of EFTC Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such EFTC Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (z) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such EFTC Stock Option in accordance with the foregoing.

(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent, TBF II and K*TEC will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each outstanding option to purchase shares of common stock of K*TEC (a "K*TEC Stock Option") under the K*TEC Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, to be cancelled and replaced with an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such K*TEC Stock Option, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (i) the number of shares of common stock of K*TEC as the holder of

such K*TEC Stock Option would have been entitled to had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded downward to the nearest whole number), times (ii) .6577, at a price per share (rounded upward to the nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of common stock of K*TEC purchasable pursuant to such K*TEC Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (z) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such K*TEC Stock Option in accordance with the foregoing.

(c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the participants in the EFTC Stock Plans and the K*TEC Stock Plans appropriate notice setting forth such participants' rights pursuant thereto and the grants pursuant to EFTC Stock Plans or K*TEC Stock Plans, as the case may be, shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 5.13 after giving effect to the Mergers).

(d) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery under EFTC Stock Plans and K*TEC Stock Plans assumed in accordance with this Section 5.13. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate forms), or another appropriate form with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such options and shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding.

(e) The Board of Directors of each of EFTC and K*TEC and TBF III shall, prior to or as of the Effective Time, take all necessary actions, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the EFTC Stock Plans and the instruments evidencing the EFTC Stock Options, or the K*TEC Stock Plans and the instruments evidencing the K*TEC Stock Options, as the case may be, to provide for the conversion of the EFTC Stock Options and the K*TEC Stock Options into options to acquire Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5.13 without obtaining consent of the holders of the EFTC Stock Options or K*TEC Stock Options in connection with such conversion.

(f) The Board of Directors of EFTC shall, prior to or as of the Effective Time, take appropriate action to approve the deemed cancellation of the EFTC Stock Options for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

Section 5.14 Brokers or Finders. Each of EFTC and TBF II represents, as to itself, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates, that no agent, broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other firm or person is or will be entitled to any broker's or finder's fee or any other commission, advisory or similar fee in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ H&Q, a division of Chase Securities Inc., whose fees and expenses will be paid by EFTC in accordance with EFTC's agreement with such firm (a copy of which has been delivered by EFTC to K*TEC prior to the date of this Agreement) and TC Management IV, L.L.C. and RCBA GP, L.L.C., each of whose fees and expenses will be paid by K*TEC in accordance with K*TEC's agreement with such firms (a copy of which has been delivered by K*TEC to EFTC prior to the date of this Agreement); provided, that the aggregate amount of fees paid by K*TEC to such firms does not exceed $750,000. Each of TBF II and EFTC agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities or obligations with respect to any such fees, commissions or expenses asserted by any person on the basis of any act or statement alleged to have been made by such party or any of its Affiliates.

Section 5.15 Post-Merger Corporate Governance. At the Effective Time, the total number of persons serving on the Board of Directors of Parent shall be nine (unless otherwise agreed in writing by EFTC and TBF II prior to the Effective Time), all of whom shall consist of the members of the Board of Directors of EFTC immediately prior to the EFTC Merger. In the event that, prior to the Effective Time, any person so selected to serve on the Board of Directors of Parent after the Effective Time is unable or unwilling to serve in such position, the Board of Directors which selected such person shall designate another of its members to serve in such person's stead in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 5.16 EFTC Registration Rights Agreement. At the Effective Time, EFTC and TBF II shall cause Parent to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Parent Registration Rights Agreement") substantially similar to the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 30, 2000, as amended, by and among EFTC and certain stockholders of EFTC (the "EFTC Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which Parent will provide registration rights to parties to the EFTC Registration Rights Agreement (other than EFTC) and to the holders of TBF II Units with respect to all shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the EFTC Merger or the K*TEC Merger, or to be issued upon exercise or conversion of any securities of EFTC issued in the EFTC Merger, on account of the EFTC securities covered by the EFTC Registration Rights Agreement.
