Recitals

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved, and deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective companies and stockholders to consummate, a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company as the surviving company in the Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share (individually, a “Target Share”; and collectively, the “Target Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Target Common Stock”), of the Company shall represent the right to receive fourteen and six-tenths (14.60) shares (individually, a “Parent Share,” and collectively, the “Parent Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Parent Common Stock”), of Parent; and

WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code");

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1

The Merger.

(a) The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.1(b)), the Merger shall be effected and Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the Texas Business Corporation Act (“TBCA”) and the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”).

(b) Effective Time. On the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2.1), the parties shall file articles of merger (“Articles of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas and a certificate of merger (“Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and make all other filings or recordings required by the TBCA and DGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger and Certificate of Merger are duly filed and accepted with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas and the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, respectively, or at such later time as Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall agree and specify in the Articles of Merger and Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

(c) Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement, the TBCA and the DGCL. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, powers, privileges and franchises shall be vested in the Surviving Company, and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.

(d) Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(i) The articles of incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

(ii) The bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

(e) Officers and Directors. The officers and directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers and directors of the Surviving Company, and shall hold office in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company until the earlier of the applicable officer’s or director’s resignation or removal or until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

1.2

Conversion of Target Shares.

(a) Conversion of Target Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the shareholders of Target (“Target Shareholders”):

(i) Purchaser Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, $.001 par value per share, in the Surviving Company;

(ii) Cancellation of Treasury Securities and Parent-Owned Securities. All Target Shares that are owned by the Company as treasury securities, all Target Shares owned by any subsidiary of the Company, and any Target Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(iii) Conversion of Target Shares. Each of the Target Shares shall be converted into the right to receive fourteen and six-tenths (14.60) newly issued Parent Shares (the “Exchange Ratio”). All such Target Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such Target Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Parent Shares therefor upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.2(b) hereof, without interest or dividends.

(b) Exchange of Certificates. Each Target Shareholder shall deliver to Merger Sub any certificate evidencing a Target Share and receive in exchange therefore the Parent Shares to be received in connection with the Merger as provided in Section 1.2(a)(iii). If, after the Effective Time, certificates for the Target Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Company, such Target Shares shall be exchanged for the Parent Shares to be received in connection with the Merger as provided in Section 1.2(a)(iii).

(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No interest or dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate with respect to the Target Shares represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional Target Shares shall be paid to any such holder.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Target Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates evidencing ownership of Target Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Target Shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable law.

(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Parent Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates representing Target Shares, no dividend or distribution of Parent shall relate to such fractional interests and such fractional interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of Parent. Each Target Shareholder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Share (after taking into account all certificates delivered by such Target Shareholder) shall receive that number of Parent Shares that such holder would have received if such fractional Parent Share was rounded up to the nearest whole number.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event 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, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Parent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the Parent Shares to which such Person is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) Transfer Books. The Target Share transfer books of the Company shall be closed immediately at the Effective Time and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Target Shares on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, certificates are presented to the Surviving Company for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.2.

(h) Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Target Common Stock shall occur, including, without limitation, by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted appropriately.

1.3

Dissenters’ Rights.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Target Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by a Target Shareholder that has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly delivered a written notice of demand for appraisal of such Target Shares in accordance with Article 5.12 of the TBCA, if Article 5.11 of the TBCA provides for appraisal rights for such Target Shares in the Merger (the “Dissenting Target Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive Parent Shares unless and until such Target Shareholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its right to appraisal and payment under Article 5.12 of the TBCA. If, after the Effective Time, any such Target Shareholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its right to appraisal, such Dissenting Target Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Parent Shares to which such Target Shareholder is entitled, without interest or dividends thereon. The Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice of any notice or demands for appraisal or payment for Target Shares received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in an direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands or notices. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle, offer to settle or otherwise negotiate, any such demands. Any amounts paid to holders of Dissenting Target Shares in an appraisal proceeding shall be paid by the Surviving Company out of its own funds and will not be paid, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Merger Sub. Each Dissenting Target Share, if any, shall be canceled after payment in respect thereof has been made to the holder thereof pursuant to Article 5.12 of the TBCA. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Target Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except the rights provided by Article 5.12 of the TBCA or as otherwise provided in this Section 1.3.

1.4

Subsequent Actions.

If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall determine, in its sole discretion, or shall be advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Company its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the property, rights, powers, privileges, franchises or other assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Company as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers of the Surviving Company shall be authorized to execute and deliver, and shall execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances, and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each such corporation or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable, to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such property, rights, powers, privileges, franchises or other assets in the Surviving Company or otherwise to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given by the terminating party to the other party, and, except as set forth below, this Agreement shall terminate and be void and have no effect and the Merger shall be abandoned without any further action by the parties hereto; provided, however, that if such termination shall result from the failure of a party to perform a covenant, obligation or agreement in this Agreement or from the breach by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company of any representation or warranty contained herein, such party shall be fully liable for any and all damages incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of such failure or breach. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein:

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement and any Schedules and Exhibits hereto contain the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

8.2 Amendments and Modifications.

This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, modification or supplement is sought.

8.3 Extensions and Waivers.

At any time prior to the Closing, the parties hereto entitled to the benefits of a term or provision may: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the parties hereto; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered pursuant hereto; or (c) waive compliance with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such extension or waiver is sought. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

8.4 Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that no party hereto may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other party hereto. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any person not a party hereto (and their successors and assigns) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

8.5 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate twelve (12) months after the Closing. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms contemplate actions following the Closing shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. All other covenants and agreements contained herein shall not survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate.

8.6 Headings; Definitions.

The section and article headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references to sections or articles contained herein mean sections or articles of this Agreement unless otherwise stated. All capitalized terms defined herein are equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

8.7 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be reformed to render the Agreement valid and enforceable while reflecting to the greatest extent permissible the intent of the parties.

8.8 Specific Performance.

The parties hereto agree that in the event the Company fails to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to specific performance in such event, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

8.9 Expenses.

Whether or not the Merger is consummated, and except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all legal and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, including any legal and other costs and expenses incurred in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.
