of shares of
Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Merger

(a) Company-Owned Common Stock of Merger Sub. All the Company's
shares
issued and outstanding prior to the Merger ("Company Common
Stock") shall be
converted into 100 shares of common stock of the Merger Sub
prior to the Merger.
Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding
immediately
prior to the Effective Time of the Merger owned by the Company
shall be
converted into 226,750 shares of Common Stock of the Parent and
shall be the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Parent. In the
aggregate, the
Company-owned common stock of the Merger Sub shall be converted
into 22,675,000
shares of the Parent.
(b) Cancellation of Parent-Owned Merger Sub Common Stock. The
Parent shall
own 900 shares of commons tock of the Merger Sub prior to the
Merger. Each share
of Common Stock of the Merger Sub that is owned by the Parent
shall
automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist,
and no Parent
Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered or
deliverable in
exchange therefor.
(c) Issuance and Transfer of Parent Common Stock. The 22,675,000
Parent
Shares to be issued by the Parent to the Company's shareholders
pursuant to this

converted into a
right to receive Merger Consideration unless such holder fails
to perfect or
otherwise loses such holder's right to such payment or
appraisal, if any. If,
after the Effective Time of the Merger, such holder fails to
perfect or loses
any such right to appraisal, each such share of such holder
shall be treated as
a share that had been converted as of the Effective Time of the
Merger into the
right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with this
Section 2.01. The
Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands
received by the
Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, and

each holder
of an outstanding certificate or certificates which prior
thereto represented
shares of Company Common Stock shall, upon surrender of such
certificate or
certificates and acceptance be entitled to a certificate or
certificates
representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into
which the
aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock previously
represented by
such certificate or certificates surrendered shall have been

compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions to effect
an orderly
exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices.
All shares of
Company Common Stock shall be surrendered at the Effective Time
of the Merger.
After the Effective Time of the Merger, there shall be no
further transfer on
the records of the Company or its transfer agent of certificates
representing
shares of Company Common Stock. If any certificate for such
Parent Common Stock
is to be issued in a name other than that in which the

Common Stock surrendered for exchange is registered, it shall be
a condition of
such exchange that the certificate so surrendered shall be
properly endorsed,
with signature guaranteed, or otherwise in proper form for
transfer and that the
person requesting such exchange shall pay to Parent or its
transfer agent any
transfer or other taxes or other costs required by reason of the
issuance of
certificates for such Parent Common Stock in a name other than

to the
satisfaction of Parent or its transfer agent that all taxes have
been paid.

liable to any person in respect of any shares of Parent Common
Stock (or
dividends or distributions with respect thereto) delivered to a
public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar law. All
