and each Selling Stockholder hereby waives any and all Claims against any of Parent’s vendors that
have issued a Trust Waiver to Parent in connection with services provided to Parent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.15(b) shall not constitute a waiver of any other
remedy of the Selling Stockholders under this Agreement.

unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable

Execution Copy

CONVERSION AGREEMENT

(Holders of Notes)

This Conversion Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May
19, 2008 (the “Execution Date”), by and among: Heckmann Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (“Parent”); China Water and Drinks, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”); and the Persons and Entities signatory hereto (each a “Holder,” and collectively, the
“Holders”). The Parent, the Company and the Holders who execute this Agreement shall hereinafter be
referred to collectively as the “parties” and individually as a “party.”

Recitals

A. The Holders are holders of the Company’s 5% secured convertible notes due January 29, 2011
(the “Notes”), which Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
US$0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock” and together with the Notes, the “Securities”), and
holds the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite their names on Schedule A.

B. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent, Heckman Acquisition II Corp., a
Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company are
entering into an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant
to which the Company will be merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of
the Merger, the Company will cease to exist and Merger Sub will remain as a wholly owned Subsidiary
of Parent.

C. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Company Common Stock will be converted,
upon the Merger, into the right to receive (i) shares of common stock, par value US$0.01 per share,
of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) at the Exchange Ratio, and/or (ii) at the election of the holders
thereof, an amount in cash equal to US$5.00 per share of Company Common Stock.

D. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent and certain holders of Notes and
Company Common Stock are entering into a registration rights agreement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Parent will agree to
register all of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holders as a result of the
Merger (including all Contingent Payment Stock (as defined below)).

E. The Holders have indicated a willingness to (i) convert their Notes into Company Common
Stock (such transaction is referred to herein as the “Conversion”), (ii) elect to receive in the
Merger only Parent Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio for each share of Company Common Stock
acquired in respect of the Conversion as of the Effective Time, (iii) waive or suspend certain
defaults, potential defaults and obligations of the Company under the Note Purchase Documents for
the times set forth herein, and (iv) as of the Effective Time, release various liens and other
rights under and terminate the Note Purchase Documents. In consideration for such releases,
suspensions, and relinquishment of rights as holders of Notes, Parent will, if the Adjusted Net
Income (as defined in Section 1.6(c)) of Parent for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2009,
exceeds US$90 million, pay to each Holder a pro rata portion of a contingent payment of
US$44,953,720 (the “Contingent Payment”).

F. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A
and other capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Sections of this Agreement
where they first appear.

 

 

 

Agreement

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1:  Conversion of Notes; Stock Election; Other Agreements 
and Contingent payment.

1.1 Conversion of Notes. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time the Holders shall convert all and not less
than all of their Notes into Company Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Notes. Each Holder
shall deliver a notice of conversion as set forth on Annex A to the Note immediately prior to the
Effective Time. The Holders acknowledge that the current conversion
price is $4.25 per share. The Company
and each Holder agrees Sections 4 and 10(e) of the Note do not apply to, nor impair or preclude,
such conversion, as the Company does not have, and has never had, a class of equity security
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Parent acknowledges the foregoing sentence.

1.2 Stock Election.

1.2(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 1.2, each Holder, severally and not jointly,
hereby elects (the “Stock Election”) to, in the event the Merger occurs, receive in the Merger
shares of Parent Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio, and not cash, for each share of Company Common
Stock held as of the Effective Time by such Holder. Each Holder agrees that, subject to
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.3, the Stock Election is
unconditional and irrevocable. Each Holder acknowledges that its Stock Election pursuant to this
Section 1.2(a) was made on a completely voluntary basis.

1.2(b) Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Stock Election is effective so long as the
terms of the Merger and the Merger Agreement have not been amended, modified or waived in a manner
that adversely affects the Holders without their consent and provided that the conditions set forth
in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 have been satisfied or waived prior to the Effective Time, and, subject to
the foregoing (i) such Holder will not revoke, seek to revoke, or take any action, directly or
indirectly, for the purpose of, or having the effect of, revoking or seeking to revoke, the Stock
Election and (ii) covenants and agrees to re-execute and re-deliver the Stock Election as and when
reasonably requested by Parent in order that such Stock Election remains continuously in effect at
all times from the Execution Date through the first to occur of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the
termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Merger Termination”) or
(iii) the termination of this Agreement under Section 7 (the “Termination”). For the purposes of
this Section 1.2(b), any amendment, modification or waiver of the terms of the Merger or the Merger
Agreement shall be deemed to adversely affect the Holders only if such amendment, modification or
waiver (i) lowers the Exchange Ratio, (ii) changes the terms of the Contingent Payment, (iii)
changes the time periods set forth in Section 7.1(b) of the Merger Agreement, (iv) amends or adds a
new provision that effectively amends any of Sections 1.1 (Merger of Merger Sub into the Company),
1.2 (Effect of the Merger), 1.3 (Closing; Effective Time); 1.5 (Conversion of Shares), 1.6 (Company
Stock Elections), 1.7 (Issuance of Stock Consideration and Payment of Cash Election Price), 1.9(a)
or (b) (Exchange of Certificates), 1.12 (Tax Consequences), 3 (Representations and Warranties of
Parent), 4.2 (Covenants of Parent), 5.2 (Joint Proxy and Information Statement/Prospectus;
Registration Statement), 5.3 (Exchange Listing), 5.8 (Section 368(a) Reorganization), 5.9 (Exchange
Listing of Additional Shares), 6.1 (Conditions to Each Party’s Obligation To Effect the Merger),
6.3 (Additional Conditions to Obligations of the Company), 8.1 (Amendment), 8.2 (Waiver), 8.4
(Entire Agreement), 8.6 (Governing Law), 8.14 (Construction; Usage), Exhibit A (Certain
Definitions) or the last sentence of Section 8.12 (No Third Party Rights) of the Merger Agreement,
or (v) increases the consideration to be provided to any holders of the Company Common Stock without
proportionately increasing the consideration to be provided to the Holders.

1.3 Waivers, Releases and Consents as of the Execution Date.

1.3(a) Each Holder, severally and not jointly, without further action of the parties,
effective as of the Execution Date, hereby:

(i) waives any default resulting from the Company’s execution, delivery and performance of the
Merger Agreement and Related Agreements and, from the Execution Date until the earlier to occur of
the Termination or Merger Termination, agrees not to exercise any rights or remedies under the Note
Purchase Documents as a result of the Company’s execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and
agreements related thereto, and performance of its obligations thereunder;

(ii) waives all defaults and breaches existing as of the Execution Date under the Note
Purchase Documents set forth on Schedule B, provided, that upon the earlier
to occur of the Termination or the Merger Termination, such waiver will be automatically revoked
without further action of the parties;

(iii) agrees that from the Execution Date until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time,
the Termination and the Merger Termination, each Holder shall not require the Company, and the Company
shall not be obligated, to comply with its covenants contained in: (A) Sections 4(c), 4(f), 4(u)
and 4(w) of the Note Purchase Agreement, and, to the extent that the Company’s indemnity
obligations under Section 10 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall result, or shall have resulted,
from defaults and breaches existing as of the Execution Date under the Note Purchase Documents as
more fully set forth on Schedule B, Section 10(k) of the Note Purchase Agreement; (B) Section 6 of
the Notes; and (C) the Notes RRA.

1.3(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each such Holder will, at Parent’s expense, execute,
acknowledge, certify and deliver any and all such further documents and do such further acts as
Parent or Parent’s successors and assigns may reasonably request for the purposes of further
evidencing, confirming, perfecting and otherwise documenting the foregoing waivers and releases.

1.4 Waivers and Releases as of the Closing 

1.4(a) Each Holder, without further action of the parties, effective as of the Closing (as
defined in Section 1.5), acknowledges that by converting their Notes, they are also:

(i) releasing and discharging any and all Liens securing the Company’s obligations under the
Notes in favor of such Holder on or in any Company Common Stock and/or any capital stock of any

(ii) releasing and discharging the Company and Mr. Xu Hong Bin from any and all Liens arising

GAAP, as set forth in Parent’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2009 Annual Report

(iii) the term “Closing Sale Price” means the average over the ten preceding trading days of
the closing trade price for a share of Parent Common Stock on the national securities exchange upon
which the Parent Common Stock is listed (the “Principal Market”), as reported by Bloomberg, or, if
the Principal Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the
closing trade price, then the last trade price of the Parent Common Stock prior to 4:00 p.m., New
York Time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal securities

last trade price, as applicable, of the Parent Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or
trading market where the Parent Common Stock is then listed or traded, as reported by Bloomberg, or
if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price or last trade price, as applicable, of
the Parent Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board, as

Closing Sale Price of the Parent Common Stock on the applicable date shall be the fair market value
as mutually determined by the Parent and the Holders; provided, that if Parent and the Holders are
unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Parent Common Stock, then such dispute shall be
resolved by independent appraisal to be conducted by an independent, reputable investment bank
selected by Parent and approved by the Holders, with the costs thereof to be borne equally by
Parent and the Holders.

1.6(d)
Unless assigned in accordance with Section 8.10, the right of a Holder to receive the Contingent Payment, and Parent’s obligation to

Parent hereby agrees that the Contingent Payment Stock, if any, is subject to the benefits and
obligations contained in the Registration Rights Agreement.

SECTION 2:  Representations and Warranties of the Holders.

Each Holder represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, to Parent as of the Execution
Date and as of the Closing as follows:

2.1 Organization and Good Standing. Such Holder, if an Entity, is duly organized,
validly existing, and in good standing (where such concept is applicable) under the laws of its
respective jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and is duly qualified to do business as a
foreign Entity and is in good standing (where such concept is applicable) under the laws of each
other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the properties owned or used by it, or
the nature of the activities conducted by it, requires such qualification.

2.2 Authority; No Conflict.

2.2(a) Such Holder has all necessary individual or other Entity power and authority, as
applicable, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and to
perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby (the “Contemplated Transactions”). The execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement by such Holder and the consummation by such Holder of the
Contemplated Transactions have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary individual or
other Entity action, as applicable, and no other individual or other Entity proceedings on the part
of such Holder are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement or
to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Holder, and constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder, enforceable against such Holder in accordance
with its terms subject to the effect of (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to rights of creditors
generally and (ii) rules of law and equity governing specific performance, injunctive relief and
other equitable remedies.

2.2(b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the
Contemplated Transactions do or will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of
time or both), (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any provision of the
Organizational Documents, if any, of such Holder, (ii) contravene, conflict with, or result in a
violation of, any Legal Requirements or any order to which such Holder, or any of the assets owned
or used by such Holder, are subject, or (iii) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation
or breach of any provision of, or give any Person the right to declare a default or exercise any
remedy under, or to accelerate the maturity or performance of, or to cancel, terminate, or modify,
any Contract to which such Holder is a party, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for
any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other occurrences that would not prevent or
delay consummation of the Contemplated Transactions in any material respect, or would otherwise not
prevent such Holder from performing its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

2.2(c) Assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein,
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder does not, and the performance of this
Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions by such Holder will not, require
any Consent of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Body in the United States,
except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act, the Securities Act and state
securities laws, and (ii) such other Consents, filings or notifications where failure to obtain
such Consents, or to make such filings or notifications, would not prevent or delay the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, or would otherwise not prevent such Holder from
performing its obligations under this Agreement.

2.3 Ownership. Such Holder owns, beneficially or of record, the Securities set forth
opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule A, free and clear of any and all Liens or other
restrictions on transfer, other than those arising under the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or
other securities laws.

 

6

 

2.4 Review of Merger Agreement. Such Holder has received an execution copy of the
Merger Agreement and has had an opportunity to review the Merger Agreement with assistance of
counsel and other advisors of its own choosing. Such Holder understands and acknowledges that,
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Company Common Stock held by stockholders of the
Company, including those shares held by the Holders prior to and subsequent to the Conversion, will
be converted into the right to receive (i) shares of Parent Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio,
and/or (ii) at the election of the holders thereof, an amount in cash equal to US$5.00 per share of
Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms thereof.

2.5 Securities Law Matters.

2.5(a) Such Holder will acquire Parent Common Stock in the Merger and, if applicable, will
acquire the Contingent Payment Stock hereunder, in each case, for its own account and not with a
view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except
pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act. Such Holder does not presently
have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of
the shares of Parent Common Stock received in the Merger or the Contingent Payment Stock.

2.5(b) Such Holder is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A
promulgated under the Securities Act or an “accredited
investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)
promulgated under the Securities Act.

2.5(c) Such Holder understands that the shares of Contingent Payment Stock that may be issued
hereunder are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that Parent is relying in part
upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Holder’s compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Holder set forth in this Section 2.5 in
order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Holder to
acquire the shares of Parent Common Stock to be acquired in the Merger and the shares of Contingent
Payment Stock that may be acquired hereunder.

2.5(d) Such Holder and its advisors, if any, have had access to the Parent SEC Reports and
have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Parent regarding
Parent, the Parent SEC Reports and the Contemplated Transactions; however, such opportunity does
not affect the ability of such Holder to rely on the representations and warranties of Parent
contained herein. Such Holder understands that its investment in the shares of Parent Common Stock
to be acquired in the Merger and the Contingent Payment Stock that may be acquired hereunder,
involves a high degree of risk. Such Holder has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it
has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of
the shares of Parent Common Stock to be acquired in the Merger and the shares of Contingent Payment
Stock that may be acquired hereunder.

2.5(e) Such Holder understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other
Governmental Body has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the shares of Parent
Common Stock being acquired in the Merger, the shares of Contingent Payment Stock that may be
acquired hereunder or the fairness or suitability of the investment in Parent Common Stock
(including the Contingent Payment Stock) nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the
merits of the offering of the Parent Common Stock or the Contingent Payment Stock contemplated
hereby.

 

7

 

2.5(f) Such Holder understands that (i) the shares of Parent Common Stock and Contingent
Payment Stock have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A)
subsequently registered thereunder, (B) pursuant to an exemption from such registration,
including pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended, (or a
successor rule thereto), and (ii) neither Parent nor any other Person, other than as provided
herein or in the Registration Rights Agreement, is under any obligation to register the shares of
Parent Common Stock or Contingent Payment Stock under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

2.5(g) Such Holder understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the
shares of Parent Common Stock and Contingent Payment Stock may bear any legend as required by
federal or state securities laws and a restrictive legend in a form approved by Parent, and that a
stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates; provided, that any
such legend shall be removed and Parent shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder
of the shares of Parent Common Stock or Contingent Payment Stock, as applicable, or issue to such
holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at Depository Trust Company, unless
otherwise required by state securities laws, if (i) such shares of Parent Common Stock or
Contingent Payment Stock, as applicable, are registered pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other
transfer, Parent receives an opinion of counsel, in a reasonably acceptable form, to the effect
that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act, including pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A
thereunder.

SECTION 3:  Representations and Warranties of Parent.

Parent represents and warrants to the Holders as of the Execution Date and as of the Closing

3.1 Organization and Good Standing. Parent is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, with full
corporate power and authority to conduct its business as now being conducted, to own or use its
properties and assets that it purports to own or use, and to perform all of its obligations under
Contracts to which Parent is party or by which Parent or any of its assets are bound. Parent is
duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing (where such concept
is applicable) under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or
use of the properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it,
requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be
expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect on Parent.

3.2 Authority; No Conflict. Except for the requirement that Parent obtain the
Required Parent Stockholder Vote:

3.2(a) Parent has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Merger Agreement, and to perform its
obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions and the
Merger. The execution and delivery of each of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Merger Agreement by Parent and the consummation by Parent of the Contemplated Transactions
and the Merger have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no other
corporate proceedings on the part of Parent are necessary to authorize this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement or the Merger Agreement or to consummate the Contemplated
Transactions and the Merger (other than, with respect to the Merger, the filing of the Certificate
of Incorporation Amendment and, as required by the DGCL and NRS, the Certificates of Merger). Each
of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Merger Agreement has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by Parent
and, assuming the due execution and delivery of such agreements by the applicable
counterparties thereto, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable
against Parent in accordance with its terms subject to the effect of (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
rights of creditors generally, and (ii) rules of law and equity governing specific performance,
injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

 

8

 

3.2(b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
nor the Merger Agreement, nor the consummation of any of the Contemplated Transactions or the
Merger do or will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time or both)
(i) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any provision of the Organizational
Documents of Parent, or (ii) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any Legal
Requirement to which Parent, or any of the assets owned or used by Parent, may be subject, except,
in the case of clause (ii), for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other
occurrences that would not prevent or delay consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or the
Merger in any material respect, or otherwise prevent Parent from performing its obligations under
this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Merger Agreement in any material respect.

3.2(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, nor the Merger Agreement by Parent, nor the performance of such agreements and the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and the Merger, require any Consent of, or filing
with or notification to, any Governmental Body, except (i) for (A) applicable requirements, if any,
of the Exchange Act, the Securities Act, any national securities exchange on which the Parent
Common Stock is then listed, and state securities laws, (B) the filing of the Certificates of
Merger as required by the DGCL and NRS, (C) the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation
Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and (D) filings made in connection
with applicable Antitrust Laws and investment laws, and (ii) such other Consents, filings or
notifications where failure to obtain such Consents, or to make such filings or notifications,
would not prevent or delay the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or the Merger in any
material respect, or otherwise prevent Parent from performing its obligations under this Agreement,
the Registration Rights Agreement and the Merger Agreement in any material respect.

3.3 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of Parent consists of 250,000,000
shares of Parent Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, US$0.001 par value per share
(“Parent Preferred Stock”). As of the Execution Date, (a) 67,646,800 shares of Parent Common Stock
are issued and outstanding, all of which are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, (b)  74,646,800 shares of Parent Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon
exercise of outstanding warrants of Parent (“Parent Warrants”), and (c) no shares of Parent
Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding. Except as set forth in this Section 3.3, there are no
Contracts, obligations, preemptive rights or other rights relating to the issued or unissued
capital stock of Parent, or other Contracts obligating Parent to issue, grant or sell any shares of
capital stock of, or other equity interests in, or securities convertible into equity interests in,
Parent. None of the outstanding equity securities or other securities of Parent was issued in
violation of the Securities Act or any other Legal Requirement.

3.4 SEC Reports. Parent has made available through EDGAR to the Holders a correct and
complete copy of each of the Parent SEC Reports, which are all the forms, reports and documents
required to be filed by Parent with the SEC. As of their respective filing dates, the Parent SEC
Reports:  (a) were prepared in accordance and complied as to form in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such Parent SEC Reports, and (b) did not (and if
amended or superseded by a filing, then on the date of such filing and as so amended or superseded)
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.

 

9

 

3.5 Financial Statements. The financial statements and notes contained or
incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Reports present fairly the financial condition and the
results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flow of Parent as at the
respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such financial statements, all in accordance
with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods presented and Regulation S-X of the
SEC, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments
(the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be materially adverse) and the
omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X of the SEC or GAAP.

3.6 Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Holders’
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.5, no registration under the Securities Act
is required for the issuance of the Parent Common Stock or Contingent Payment Stock by the Parent
to the Holders.

3.7 Non-Compete. There is no non-compete agreement or other similar commitment to
which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party that would impose restrictions upon the
Holders or any of their respective Affiliates.

3.8 No Undisclosed Business. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is
engaged in insurance, banking and financial services, telecommunications, public utility businesses
or any other regulated businesses.

director, officer, agent, employee, or any other Person acting for or on behalf of the foregoing
(individually and collectively, a “Parent Affiliate”), has violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, nor has any Parent
Affiliate offered, paid, promised to pay, or authorized the payment of any money, or offered,
given, promised to give, or authorized the giving of anything of value, to any officer, employee or
any other Person acting in an official capacity for any Government Entity, as defined below, to any
political party or official thereof or to any candidate for political office (individually and
collectively, a “Government Official”) or to any Person under circumstances where such Parent
Affiliate knew or was aware of a high probability that all or a portion of such money or thing of
value would be offered, given or promised, directly or indirectly, to any Government Official, for
the purpose of: (a) (1) influencing any act or decision of such Government Official in his official
capacity, (2) inducing such Government Official to do or omit to do any act in relation to his
lawful duty, (3) securing any improper advantage, or (4) inducing such Government Official to
influence or affect any act or decision of any Government Entity, or (b) in order to assist the
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing
business to the Parent or its Subsidiary. “Government Entity” as used in the previous paragraph
means any government or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof, including any Entity or
enterprise owned or controlled by a government, or a public international organization.

validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, with
full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as now being conducted, to own or use
its properties and assets that it purports to own or use, and to perform all of its obligations
under Contracts to which the Company is party or by which the Company or any of its assets are
bound. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
standing (where such concept is applicable) under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in
which either the ownership or use of the properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the

qualified could not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a
material adverse effect on the Company.

4.2 Authority; No Conflict.

4.2(a) The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the Merger Agreement in connection with the Contemplated Transactions and the Merger,

and the Merger. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation
by the Company of the Contemplated Transactions and the Merger have been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary corporate action and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the

Contemplated Transactions or the Merger (other than with respect to the Merger, the Required
Company Stockholder Vote to be effected pursuant to the Majority Stockholder Written Consent
Agreements and, as required by the DGCL and NRS, the filing of the Certificates of Merger). Each
of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the
Company and, assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Holders and Parent
and due execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by Parent, as applicable, constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms subject to the effect of (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to rights of creditors
generally and (ii) rules of law and equity governing specific performance, injunctive relief and
other equitable remedies.

4.2(b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, nor the
consummation of any of the Contemplated Transactions or the Merger do or will, directly or

result in a violation of any provision of the Organizational Documents of the Company, (ii)
contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of, any Legal Requirements to which the
Company, or any of the assets owned or used by the Company, is subject, (iii) contravene, conflict

which the Company is a party, (v) require a Consent from any Person, or (vi) result in the
imposition or creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the assets owned or used by
the Company, except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (iv), (v) and (vi), for any such
conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other occurrences that would not prevent or delay
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or the Merger in any material respect, or otherwise
prevent the Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement in
any material respect.

 

11

 

4.2(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement by the Company do
not, and the performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions
and the Merger by the Company will not, require any Consent of, or filing with or notification to,
any Governmental Body, except (i) for (A) applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act, the
Securities Act, or state securities laws, (B) the filing of the Certificates of Merger as required
by the DGCL and NRS, and (C) filings made in connection with applicable Antitrust Laws and
investment laws, and (ii) such other Consents, filings or notifications where failure to obtain
such Consents, or to make such filings or notifications, would not prevent or delay the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or the Merger in any material respect, or otherwise
prevent the Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

4.3 SEC Reports. The Company has made available through EDGAR to the Holders a
correct and complete copy of each of the Company SEC Reports, which are all the forms, reports and
documents required to be filed by the Company with the SEC. Except as set forth in the Company’s
disclosure schedule to the Merger Agreement, as of their respective filing dates, the Company SEC
Reports (a) were prepared in accordance and complied as to form in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to the Company SEC Reports, and (b) did not (and if
amended or superseded by a filing, then on the date of such filing and as so amended or superseded)
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.

Parent, the Company and each Holder, severally but not jointly, shall each use all commercially
reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and
to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable
to consummate and make effective the Contemplated Transactions and the Merger as promptly as
reasonably practicable, (ii) as promptly as practicable, obtain from any Governmental Body or any
other third party any Consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations, or orders

any other Legal Requirements, and (iv) execute or deliver any additional instruments reasonably
necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions and the Merger, and to fully carry out the
purposes of this Agreement. Parent, the Company and the Holders shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings other than
any filing required to be made by holders of Notes with the SEC or any regulatory body (subject to
Legal Requirements regarding the sharing of information), including providing copies of all such
documents to the non-filing party and its advisors prior to filing and, if requested, accepting all
reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 5.1 shall not be deemed to impose greater or different obligations on the
Company or Parent with respect to the Merger than as provided in the Merger Agreement.

5.2 Public Disclosure. No party shall issue any press release or otherwise make any
public statement or other disclosure with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, unless (a) the
other parties shall have approved such disclosure, or (b) such disclosure is required by any Legal
Requirement. None of the parties hereto other than Goldman shall use the name of Goldman, Sachs &
Co. or any other Affiliate of Goldman without obtaining in each instance the prior written consent
of Goldman.

5.3 Notification of Certain Matters. Each party shall give prompt notice to the other
parties of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event, which occurrence or failure to occur
causes, or would be reasonably likely to cause (a) any representation or warranty of such party
contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or (b) any covenant,
condition or agreement not to be complied with or satisfied by such party under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section will not limit or
otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to any other party or the conditions to any other
party’s obligation to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. Each of Parent and the Company
shall keep the Holders informed, on a current basis, of any events, discussions, notices or changes
with respect to any criminal or regulatory investigation or action involving Parent or the Company,
as applicable, so that the Holders will have the opportunity to take appropriate steps to avoid or
mitigate any regulatory consequences to them that might arise from such criminal or regulatory
investigation or action and Parent and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Holders,
their members and their respective Affiliates in an effort to avoid or mitigate any cost or
regulatory consequences that might arise from such investigation or action (including by reviewing
written submissions in advance, attending meetings with authorities, coordinating and providing
assistance in meetings with regulatory and, if requested by the Holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes, making a public announcement of such matters).

 

13

 

5.4 Market Standoff. For periods beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the
six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, each Holder, severally but not jointly, hereby agrees

grant any option to
purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Parent Common Stock acquired by
Holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement or enter into any Hedging Transaction (as defined below)
relating to any such shares of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary a Holder may, without the prior consent of any party, transfer shares of Parent Common
Stock to one of its respective Affiliates; provided, that such transferee will be bound by the
restrictions of this Section 5.4. For purposes of this Section 5.4, “Hedging Transaction” means
any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale, or grant of any right
(including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any Parent Common Stock.
For purposes of clarity, the foregoing shall in no respect restrict or inhibit the ability of a
Holder to, directly or indirectly, buy or Contract to buy any securities of Parent, nor shall the
provisions of this Section 5.4 impair the ability of a Holder to make any distributions of Parent
Common Stock to its interest holders (but subject to the continued applicability of this provision)
in connection with a winding up or liquidation of such Holder.

5.5 Release of Dissenter’s Rights. Subject to consummation of the Merger and the
revocation standards of Section 1.2 hereof, each Holder hereby fully, finally, and forever
releases, waives and discharges any dissenter’s rights, that such Holder is or may be entitled to
in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes Section 92A.420 and in connection with the Merger.

make all filings required under the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.

and pictorial appearance of a document, or by a combination of such means, shall constitute
effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of an
original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile shall be
deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

 

17

 

8.6(c) Notwithstanding the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15

instrument as amended or modified and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof;

this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other provision hereof

generality of any description preceding such term;

remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not
preclude the exercise of any other. The parties acknowledge and agree that each other party
hereunder would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed

could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in
addition to any other right or remedy to which a party hereunder may be entitled, at law or in

performance and temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or

8.14(b) Each Holder acknowledges that the following materials are publicly available through
EDGAR (a) Parent’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on November 8, 2007,

the Holders may have or seek to have in the future (including, but not limited to, any Claims
arising as a result of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, any breach of
this Agreement by Parent, or otherwise) and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund for any
reason (a “Trust Waiver”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.14(b) shall not
constitute a waiver of any other remedy of the Holders under this Agreement.

unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable
only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or
unenforceable.

8.16
Accession by other Noteholders. Pursuant to the Note
Purchase Documents, the releases, suspensions and waivers herein will
bind all holders of Notes, and each holder of Notes will obtain

ordinary course of their business; provided that
no material nonpublic information regarding the Merger is used in
connection with such activities.

8.18 Additional Tax Matters.

8.18(a) Each party hereto agrees that the parties intend that the Merger will qualify as a
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”). Each of the Parent and the Holders further agrees that, the exchange of
Company Common Stock for Parent Common Stock in the Merger (including the exchange of the Company
Common Stock to be received by the Holders pursuant hereto) is intended to be treated as a tax-free
exchange under Section 354 of the Code, and, absent a final determination to the contrary, no party
will take any action or position inconsistent with such treatment, and to the extent relevant,
Parent will cause its Affiliates not to take any action or position inconsistent with such
treatment.

8.18(b) Parent agrees that it will (and will, to the extent relevant, cause its Affiliates to)
take the Contingent Payment into account for federal income tax purposes (i.e., either by deduction
or capitalization of the Contingent Payment) only when and if the Contingent Payment becomes fixed
(i.e., the Adjusted Net Income contingency under Section 1.6 is resolved). Parent further agrees
that, if and only if Parent makes the Contingent Payment, Parent will send (or cause to be sent) a
Form 1099 to the Holders reporting the income from the Contingent Payment in and for the year of
such payment.

8.18(c) Each Holder will provide a Form W-9, substitute Form W-9 or Form W-8, as applicable,
