This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this "Agreement"), dated as of December

products contemplated fall within Class 25 under the categories of the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (the "Opportunity").
B. The Boards of Directors of Parent and the manager and member of the
Company have each determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of
their respective stockholders or members, as the case may be, to consummate, and
have approved, the business combination transaction in which the Company would
merge with Parent (the "Merger"). The parties may structure the transaction as a
tax-free transaction in accordance with the United States Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and, to that end, the parties contemplate that
the Company may reorganize as an association taxable as a corporation to comply
with the tax-free reorganization requirements of the Code (including Section

C. Parent and the Company desire to make certain representations,
warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe
various conditions to the Merger.

previously entered into a memorandum of understanding dated June 14, 2010 (the

supersede the MOU and any other prior agreement to the extent each has not
otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms.

1.4 Governing Documents of the Surviving Corporation. At the

the date of this Agreement, of Parent shall be the Articles of Incorporation of
the Surviving Corporation until amended as provided by law and the Articles of
Incorporation, and (ii) the Bylaws of Parent in effect at the date of this
Agreement shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended as

the persons identified on Exhibit A shall be the directors and officers,

been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death,
resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation's Articles
of Incorporation, its Bylaws and any contractual arrangement between any of
these persons and the Company.
1.6 Effects of the Merger. Subject to the foregoing, the effects of

documents and instruments and take all further actions as may reasonably be
requested by one or more of the others to consummate the Merger, to vest the
Surviving Corporation with full title to all assets, properties, rights,
2
approvals, immunities and franchises of either of the Constituent Corporations
or to effect the other purposes of this Agreement.
Section 2. Conversion of Membership Interests in the Merger.
2.1 Conversion of Equity. At the Effective Time, except as provided
in Section 8.3 below and then as soon as practicable after the Effective Time,
by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder
thereof:
(a) Exchange Ratio for Membership Interests in the Company. Each
issued and outstanding one percent (1%) membership percentage interest in the
Company (each a "Company Membership Share") shall be converted into the right to
receive Five Hundred Ten Thousand (510,000) (the "Conversion Number") fully paid
and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Parent
("Parent Common Stock"), subject to adjustment in accordance with the next
sentence. If prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) have effected a stock
split of Parent Common Stock, the Conversion Number shall be multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares into which each
pre-stock split share of Parent Common Stock is split pursuant to the stock
split and the denominator of which is one, and the resulting product shall be
the applicable Conversion Number, subject to further adjustment in accordance
with this sentence or (ii) pay a dividend in, subdivide, combine into a smaller
number of shares or issue by reclassification of its shares, any shares of
Parent Common Stock, the Conversion Number shall be multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Parent Common Stock
outstanding immediately after, and the denominator of which shall be the number
of these shares outstanding immediately before, the occurrence of the triggering
event, and the resulting product shall be the Conversion Number, subject to
further adjustment in accordance with this sentence. All Company Membership
Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and
retired, and each holder of a certificate representing any of the Company
Membership Shares shall cease to have any rights, except the right to receive
the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in consideration for the Company
Membership Shares, upon the surrender of any certificate in accordance with
Section 2.2, without interest.
(b) Cancellation of Treasury Securities and Securities Owned by
Parent and Subsidiaries. All Company Membership Shares that are owned by the
Company as treasury securities and any Company Membership Shares owned by the
Parent or any other wholly-owned Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) of Parent
or the Company shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no
stock of Parent or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange for them.
As used in this Agreement, "Subsidiary" means, with respect to any party, any
corporation or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, of
which more than fifty percent (50%) of either the equity interests in, or the
voting control of, the corporation or other organization is, directly or
indirectly through Subsidiaries or otherwise, beneficially owned by that party.
(c) Convertible Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions of
any stock plan (the "Company Option Plan") or any outstanding convertible
security of the Company (the "Company Convertible Securities") and the option
agreements executed pursuant thereto, the Company Option Plan and each option to
purchase Company Membership Shares granted thereunder and each Company
3
Convertible Security that is outstanding at the Effective Time shall be assumed
by Parent and continued in accordance with their respective terms and each such
option and Company Convertible Security shall become a right to purchase a
number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Conversion Number
multiplied by the number of Company Membership Shares subject to such option or
Company Convertible Security immediately prior to the Effective Time, as more
fully described in Section 8.7.
2.2 Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Exchange Agent. On the Closing Date, Parent shall make available
to the person designated by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Parent (the
"Exchange Agent"), certificates representing the number of duly authorized
shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger (the
"Exchange Fund"), to be distributed to the holders of Company Membership Shares
in accordance with this Section. The Exchange Agent shall agree to hold the
Exchange Fund for delivery as contemplated by this Section and upon additional
terms as may be agreed upon by the Exchange Agent, the Company and Parent.
(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Time and subject to the surrender provisions of this Section 2.2(b),
the Exchange Agent shall deliver to each holder of record of Company Membership
Shares whose Company Membership Shares are converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)
, a certificate or certificates representing that number of shares of Parent
Common Stock that the holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 2. The share certificates representing the Parent Common Stock
will be issued with an appropriate restrictive legend preventing transfer unless
registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"). Prior to this delivery, a Holder will first
deliver to the Exchange Agent an affidavit of ownership of Company Membership
Shares; the affidavit shall constitute tender of the Company Membership Shares.
The Company Membership Shares so tendered shall be canceled. In no event shall
the holder of any Company Membership Shares be entitled to receive interest on
any property to be received in the Merger.
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends
or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to
Parent Common Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be
paid to the holder of any untendered Company Membership Share, until the holder
of record of the untendered Company Membership Share shall tender in accordance
with this Section. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following tender of
any of these Company Membership Share, there shall be paid to the record holder
of the certificates representing whole shares (and only whole shares) of Parent
Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of
surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record
date on or after the Effective Time that theretofore became payable, but which
were not paid by reason of the immediately preceding sentence, and (ii) at the
appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a
record date on or after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment
date subsequent to surrender payable.
(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Membership Shares. All
shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company
Membership Shares (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.02(e) below)
shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time in full satisfaction
of all rights pertaining to the Company Membership Shares represented thereby,
4
subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation's obligation to pay any dividends
that may have been declared by the Company on the Company Membership Shares in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that remain unpaid at the
Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the Company Membership Share
books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration
of transfers on the books of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Membership
Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after
the Effective Time, untendered Company Membership Shares are presented to the
Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as
provided in this Section.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued. In lieu
of the issuance of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable as a result
of the Merger, Parent shall issue a whole share of Parent Common Stock upon the
surrender for exchange of Company Membership Shares.
(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund
which remains undistributed to the holders of Company Membership Shares for
three (3) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Parent, upon
demand, and any holders of untendered Company Membership Shares who have not
complied with this Section 2 shall thereafter look only to the Parent (subject
to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) as general creditors for
payment of their claim for Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional
shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to
whole shares of Parent Common Stock. Parent shall not be liable to any holder of
untendered Company Membership Share for shares of Parent Common Stock, any
dividends or distributions, or cash payable in respect of fractional share
interests delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned
property, escheat or similar law.

4.10 SEC Reports and Financial Statements. Parent provided to the
Company prior to the execution of this Agreement by direction to the ▇▇▇▇▇
website maintained by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") a true and complete copy of each form, report, schedule, registration
statement, definitive proxy or information statement and other document
(together with all amendments thereof and supplements thereto) filed or required
to be filed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries with the SEC since January 1,
2010 (as these documents have since the time of their filing been amended or
supplemented, the "Parent SEC Reports"). Parent did not file any reports with
the SEC except as set forth on the SEC's ▇▇▇▇▇ website. As of their respective
dates, the Parent SEC Reports (i) complied as to form in all material respects
with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as
the case may be, and (ii) did not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. The audited consolidated financial
statements and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (including,
in each case, the notes, if any, thereto) included in the Parent SEC Reports
(the "Parent Financial Statements") complied as to form in all material respects
with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on
a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated
therein or in the notes thereto and except with respect to unaudited statements
as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) and fairly present (subject, in the case
of the unaudited interim financial statements, to normal, recurring year-end
audit adjustments which are not expected to be, individually or in the
aggregate, materially adverse to Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole)
the consolidated financial position of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of their
operations and cash flows for the respective periods then ended. Each Subsidiary
11
of Parent is treated as a consolidated Subsidiary of Parent in the Parent
Financial Statements for all periods covered thereby. Parent's information
statement on Schedule 14C and the mailing thereof in connection with the
amendment of Parent's Articles of Incorporation complied in all material
respects with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
promulgated thereunder.
4.11 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as disclosed in
the Parent SEC Reports, (a) since December 31, 2009, there has not been any
change, event or development, other than those occurring as a result of general
economic or financial conditions or other developments which are not unique to
Parent and its Subsidiaries but also generally affect other persons who
participate or are engaged in the lines of business in which Parent and its
Subsidiaries participate or are engaged and (b) between that date and the date
of this Agreement, Parent and its Subsidiaries have conducted their respective
businesses only in the ordinary course consistent with past practice.

option schemes or agreements and employment, consulting or similar contracts,
(ii) contracts that involve remaining aggregate payments by Parent in excess of
$10,000 or which have a remaining term in excess of two years, (iii) insurance
policies, and (iv) all contracts that would, if terminated, have a Parent
Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, the term "Parent Material Adverse
Effect" shall mean any existing breach, default or event of default by Parent,
or event that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a breach,
default or event of default by Parent, that, severally or in the aggregate,
would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or prospects of
Parent. Except for matters reflected or reserved against in the last balance
sheet included in a Parent SEC Report, neither Parent nor any of its
Subsidiaries had at that date, or has incurred since that date, any liabilities
or obligations (whether absolute, accrued, contingent, fixed or otherwise, or
whether due or to become due) of any nature that would be required by generally
accepted accounting principles to be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet
of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries (including in the notes).
4.13 Tax Returns and Tax Liabilities. Parent and each of its
Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis or otherwise, has (i) filed all tax
returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii)
collected and paid over to the taxing authorities of each such jurisdiction all
taxes required to be collected by Parent from other persons, such as sales
taxes, payroll taxes, etc., (iii) either paid in full all taxes due to be paid
by it and all taxes claimed to be due and payable from it by each such
jurisdiction (except for any such taxes as are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings), and any interest, additions to tax and penalties with
respect thereto, or provided adequate reserves for the payment thereof, (iv)
fully accrued on its books all taxes, and any interest, additions to tax and
penalties with respect thereto, for any period through the date hereof which are
not yet due, including such as are being contested, and (v) the amount of any
reserves and accruals in respect of taxes is at least equal to the net amount of
all taxes and any interest, additions to tax, penalties and deficiency
assessments, payable or which in the future become payable by Parent with
respect to all periods up to and including the date of this Agreement.

4.14 Hazardous Waste. To the best of Parent's knowledge, neither
Parent nor any previous owner, tenant, occupant or user of any real property
owned, leased or occupied by Parent used, generated, manufactured, treated,
handled, refined, processed, released, discharged, stored or disposed of any
Hazardous Materials on, under, in or about such real property, or transported
any Hazardous Materials to or from such real property.
To the best of Parent's knowledge, Parent has kept and maintained
any real property owned, leased or occupied by Parent, including the groundwater
on or under such real property, and conducted its business in compliance with

covenant of the Company set forth in this Agreement.

amount equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds (other than self-insurance)
directly or indirectly received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the
Loss.

Party against an amount that, on an after-tax basis reflects the hypothetical
tax consequences, if any, to the Indemnified Party of the payment of the Loss.
9.4 Insurance Proceeds Received After Indemnification. Each party
agrees that, if it receives any payments from the other party with respect to
any Loss pursuant to this Section 9 and subsequently it receives any amount of
insurance proceeds (other than from self-insurance) in connection with the Loss
or the circumstances giving rise to the Loss, the Indemnified Party shall
reimburse promptly (or cause to be delivered) to the Indemnifying Party an
amount equal to the lesser of the insurance proceeds or the indemnified Loss.
9.5 Deductible Amount and Time Period. An Indemnifying Party shall
not be required to make any indemnification payments for which it would
otherwise be liable until (and then only to the extent that) the total of all
amounts to which the Indemnified Party would be entitled with respect to all
Losses actually exceeds $25,000. However, this limitation on liability shall not
be applicable to any payments to be made by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to
any provision of this Agreement (other than those set forth in this Section 9),
any provision of any instrument of assumption, or with respect to the
elimination of liabilities of Parent and its Subsidiaries as required pursuant
to Section 8.6.
The Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any Loss arising
out of claims under this Agreement as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not
have received notice within eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, except
with respect to the elimination of liabilities of Parent and its Subsidiaries as
required pursuant to Section 8.6, for which there shall be no expiry.
9.6 Defense of Claims. In case any legal action shall be commenced
or threatened (provided that in the case of a threatened legal action the
21
Indemnified Party believes in good faith that an indemnifiable Loss is likely to
occur) against an Indemnified Party that could result in a Loss, the Indemnified
Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing. The Indemnifying
Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice promptly after receipt
of the notice, (A) to participate in and (B) assume (and control) the defense of
the action, at its own expense and with its own counsel, provided counsel is
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party
elects to assume the defense of the action, the Indemnifying Party shall keep
the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments and events and the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the
defense of the action. However, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own
expenses of participation except as set forth in the following sentence. The
Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnified Party shall have
retained counsel due to actual or potential conflicting interests between the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall
not elect to assume the defense of the action, (iii) the Indemnifying Party
shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party has authorized the employment of counsel
for the Indemnified Party to handle the defense of the action at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party.
In no event will the Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement
or admission of liability with respect to any action without its prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with this
consent, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for payment of the settlement or
judgment amount, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9. The
Indemnifying Party may not settle any liability or claim subject to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 without the consent of the
Indemnified Party and on any basis that does not provide for a full release of
the Indemnified Party. Any participation in, or assumption of the defense of,
any action by an Indemnifying Party shall be without prejudice to the right of
the Indemnifying Party, and shall not be construed as a waiver of its right to
deny the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party. The giving of notice as
above provided of a loss, damage, cost or expense claimed to be indemnifiable
shall be a prerequisite to any obligation to indemnify. However, the Indemnified
Party's rights pursuant to this Section 9 shall not be forfeited by reason of a
failure to give the required notice or to cooperate in the defense to the extent
the failure does not have a material and adverse effect on the defense of the
matter.
9.7 Payment of Loss; Subrogation. Any Loss for which an Indemnified
Party is entitled to payment shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon
written demand by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall be
subrogated to any claims or rights of the Indemnifying Party as against any
other persons with respect to any Loss paid by the Indemnifying Party under this
Section 9. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party to
a reasonable extent, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, in the assertion by
the Indemnifying Party of any claims against third persons.
9.8 Notice of Event of Loss. Each party agrees that it will give
notice to the other party promptly, but in no event later than 30 days, after
the receipt by one of its responsible officers of knowledge of facts which, if
not corrected, would be an Event of Loss hereunder. Each party shall make
available to the other party and its counsel and accountants, at reasonable
times and for reasonable periods, during normal business hours, all books and
records of the party relating to any possible Event of Loss, and each party will
22
render to the other assistance as it may reasonably require of the other in
order to insure prompt and adequate prosecution of the defense of any suit,
claim or proceeding.
