ARTICLE II

 

Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock; Exchange Procedures

 

Section 2.01 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of either Party or the holder of any capital stock of the Company or Medeor:

 

(a)      Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time ("Company Common Stock") shall remain unchanged in the hands of the holder thereof and thereafter represent one (1) outstanding share of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

 

  

4

  

 

(b)      Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Medeor issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time ("Medeor Common Stock") shall be converted into and thereafter reflect the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Per Share Merger Consideration" shall be calculated as the number equal to: (i) the Merger Consideration divided by (ii) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Medeor Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. For illustrative purposes only, if there are 187,170.17 shares of Medeor Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be 134 (25,000,000/187,170.17, rounded up to the nearest whole number as per Section 2.07 below), so that each share of Medeor Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall immediately after the Effective Time represent the right to receive 134 shares of newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's common stock.

 

(c)      If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, the Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares.

 

(d)      As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Company shall appoint either itself or an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to Medeor (in either case, the "Exchange Agent") to act as the agent for the purpose of exchanging the Merger Consideration for the stock certificates evidencing Medeor Common Stock (collectively, the “Certificates”). The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Medeor Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Company shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Medeor Common Stock at the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

 

  

5

  

 

(e)      Each holder of shares of Medeor Common Stock that shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. Until so surrendered and subject to the terms set forth herein, each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, each Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled or deemed cancelled.

 

(f)      If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

 

(g)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any of the Certificates are lost, stolen, mutilated or otherwise destroyed, the owner of the Medeor Common Stock otherwise represented thereby, may instead submit to the Company an affidavit of lost instrument as a condition to the delivery of such owner's share of the Merger Consideration.

 

Section 2.02 Cancellation of Medeor Shares. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Medeor Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Medeor Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article II.

Section 2.03 No Further Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Medeor Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Medeor Common Stock two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

 

Section 2.04 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Medeor shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Medeor Common Stock theretofore outstanding on the records of Medeor. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates representing shares of Medeor Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided herein or by Law.

 

Section 2.05 Options, Warrants and Rights. Prior to the Effective Time, Medeor shall terminate or cause to be terminated, all unexercised stock options and warrants to purchase shares of Medeor Common Stock and all other rights to acquire or receive any equity securities of Medeor (whether or not exercisable) (collectively, the "Medeor Derivative Securities"), in each case that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time without the payment of consideration to the holders thereof.

 

Section 2.06 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Medeor Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing, and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Medeor Common Stock being referred to collectively as the "Dissenting Shares" until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder's appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder's right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Medeor Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Article II, without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share. Following the Effective Time, the Company shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands.

 

  

7

  

 

Section 2.07 Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, but rather the number of shares of Merger Consideration to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

 

Section 2.08 Withholding Rights. The Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Medeor or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Medeor or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

 

Section 2.09 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Company, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Medeor Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article II.

BACKGROUND

 

WHEREAS, Employee is commencing employment with the Company pursuant to that certain Employment Agreement executed by and between the Company and Employee on the date hereof (the "Employment Agreement");

 

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to enter into this Non-Disclosure, Assignment of Inventions, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete Agreement (this "Agreement") with Employee to protect the Company's competitive position and to ensure the continued ownership and protection of the confidential and proprietary information of the Company and others with whom the Company does business and to avoid the solicitation by Employee of the Company's customers, vendors, collaborators and other employees;

 

WHEREAS, Employee recognizes the Company's need for this Agreement to protect the Company's competitive position and to ensure the continued ownership and protection of the confidential and proprietary information of the Company, its Affiliates (as such term is defined below) and third parties; and

 

WHEREAS, as a condition of the Employment Agreement, Employee has agreed to the terms and conditions of, and has agreed to enter into, this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the Company's execution of the Employment Agreement and to provide Employee with Confidential Information (as such term is defined below), as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.   Scope. Any references in this Agreement regarding Employee's duties and obligations to the Company (including, but not limited to, obligations related to confidentiality, assignment of inventions and work product, non-solicitation and non-competition) include Employee's obligation to the Company's affiliated entities, which includes the Company's parent and subsidiary corporations and business entities, if any, and any corporation or other business entity owned or controlled by the Company or under common ownership or control with the Company (each an "Affiliate" and collectively, the "Affiliates").

2.     Protection of Confidential Information.

 

(a)            "Confidential Information" means information disclosed to Employee or known by Employee (including information conceived, originated, discovered, or developed in whole or in part by Employee), about the Company and/or the Company's business, products, processes, and services, including but not limited to information relating to research, development, data, experimental work, innovations, ideas, improvements, concepts, inventions (including Inventions as such term is defined below), computer programs, designs, engineering data, formulas, systems, intellectual property, sketches, blueprints, flow charts, technology, routines, algorithms, source and object codes, know-how, products and services under development, pricing and pricing strategies, business plans, marketing and selling strategies, servicing, purchasing, accounting, engineering, cost and costing strategies, sources of supply, information about customers and/or suppliers, information related to contracts, customer lists, customer requirements, techniques, business methods or practices, operations, financial information, business forecasts, information related to computer hardware, software, operating systems or the like, training and training programs, prospective business opportunities, and any other information which the Company is under an obligation to keep confidential. The parties hereby agree that the following shall not be considered Confidential Information subject to this Agreement: (i) information which prior to the time of disclosure by Company is in the public domain; (ii) information which, after disclosure by Company becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise, provided that such publication is not in violation of this Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement; or (iii) information which Employee is compelled to disclose by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, provided however, that in such case Employee shall immediately give notice to the Company to enable the Company to exercise its legal rights to prevent and/or limit such disclosure. In any event, Employee shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that, in the opinion of the Company's legal counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and will exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment by said court or tribunal.

 

(b)            Employee acknowledges that all Confidential Information is, and for all times after the cessation of Employee's employment shall remain, the property of the Company. Employee agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly use, disseminate or disclose any Confidential Information without having first obtained written permission from the Company to do so whether during Employee's employment or after termination of such employment, except as shall be necessary in the ordinary course of performing his duties as an employee of the Company in accordance with the Employment Agreement.

(c)    Employee shall comply with any additional policies, rules and procedures established by the Company from time to time for the protection of any Confidential Information.

 

3.           Conflicts. Employee represents and warrants that his employment or engagement by the Company and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and compliance with all the terms of this Agreement do not and will not breach any written or oral agreement Employee has entered into relating to intellectual property, noncompetition or otherwise. Employee shall not enter into any written or oral agreement in conflict with this Agreement. Moreover, without limiting the generality of the provisions of the Employment Agreement requiring him to devote full-time efforts to his duties under such Employment Agreement, during the period of Employee's employment by the Company, Employee shall not, without the Company's prior written consent, directly or indirectly, engage in any employment, consulting or activity (other than Employee's employment with the Company) relating to any line of business in which the Company is now engaged, is engaged at such time or is considering, expects or plans to be engaged or which would otherwise conflict with his employment obligations to the Company. Further, Employee shall abide by any policy concerning conflicts of interest that the Company may from time to time have in effect.

 

In keeping with Employee's fiduciary duties to the Company, Employee agrees that while employed by the Company he shall not, acting alone or in conjunction with others, directly or indirectly, become involved in a conflict of interest or, upon discovery thereof, allow such a conflict to continue. Moreover, Employee agrees that he shall immediately disclose to the Company any facts which might involve any reasonable possibility of a conflict of interest. It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest, connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, where such interest might in any way adversely affect the Company, involves a possible conflict of interest. Circumstances in which a conflict of interest on the part of Employee might arise, and which must be reported immediately by Employee to the Company, include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

	
  

	
·

	
ownership of a material interest in any supplier, contractor, subcontractor, customer, or other entity with which the Company does business;

	
  

	
·

·

	
accepting, directly or indirectly, payment, service, or loans from a supplier, contractor, subcontractor, customer, or other entity with which the Employee does business, including, but not limited to, gifts, trips, entertainment, or other favors of more than a nominal value;

	
  

	
·

	
misuse of the Company's information or facilities to which Employee has access in a manner which will be detrimental to the Employee's interest, such as utilization for Employee's own benefit of know-how, inventions, or information developed through the Employee's business activities;

  

Page 3 of 9

  

 

	
  

	
·

	
disclosure or other misuse of information of any kind obtained throUgh Employee's connection with the Company;

	
  

	
·

	
appropriation by Employee or the diversion to others, directly or indirectly, of any business opportunity in which it is known or could reasonably be anticipated that the Company would be interested; and

	
  

	
·
