issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of
Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6.2 and any Dissenting Shares (as
hereinafter defined)) shall, without any further action on the part of GlobalSecure or GlobalSecure
Sub, on the one hand, or the Company or its shareholders, on the other hand, be converted into the
right to receive such amount of consideration as shall equal such cash and such number of shares of
GlobalSecure Common Stock as is determined in accordance with the formula set forth in Section
1.6.3 below.
1.6.2 Cancellation of Shares; Conversion of GlobalSecure Sub Common Stock. At the
Effective Time, (i) all shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Company or any direct or
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective

Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and (ii) all shares of common stock of
GlobalSecure Sub shall be converted without further action into shares of common stock of the

amounts actually collected and received by the
Company following Closing on account of such
accounts receivable which are on the Companys books at Closing

any shares of Company Common Stock held by a shareholder who has demanded and perfected appraisal
or dissenters rights for such shares in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law and
who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal or dissenters rights (Dissenting
Shares) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration set
forth in Section 1.6.3, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted
by the Maryland General Corporation Law.

Section 1.6.5(a), if any holder of shares of Company Common Stock who is otherwise entitled to
exercise appraisal or dissenters rights under the Maryland General Corporation Law shall
effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such appraisal or
dissenters rights, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event,
such shareholders shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to
receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.
(c) Notice, etc. The Company shall give GlobalSecure (i) prompt notice of any written
demands for the exercise of appraisal or dissenters rights in respect of any shares of Company
Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the

GlobalSecure. The Company is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
- 5 -
conducted by the Company or the character and location of its properties or assets require that it be so qualified, except where the failure to
be so qualified is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse change in or effect on the
business, assets, properties, operations, results of operations, or condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Company, the legality or validity of the Company, the enforceability

Agreement or its Articles of Incorporation (a Material Adverse Effect).
2.1.2 The entire authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 500,000 shares of common
