THE MERGER

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida on the Closing Date. The date and time that the Certificate of Merger are filed with the Florida Secretary of State and the Merger thereby becomes effective will be referred to in this Agreement as the “Effective Date” and the “Effective Time,” respectively. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger, SpineMedica will be merged with and into Acquisition Company in a statutory merger pursuant to the Certificate of Merger and in accordance with applicable provisions of Florida law as follows:

Section 2.1 Conversion of SpineMedica Stock . As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any shareholder of Acquisition Company or SpineMedica:

(a) Each share of SpineMedica Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of MiMed x Common Stock.

(b) Each share of SpineMedica Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive: (i) one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of MiMed x Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) a warrant for the right to purchase one share of MiMed x Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants issuable pursuant to clause (ii) (the “Warrants”) shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C .

The MiMed x Common Stock issuable pursuant to Subsection (a) and MiMed x Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants issuable pursuant to Subsection (b), are referred to in this Agreement as the “Merger Consideration.” Attached hereto as Schedule 2.1 is a list of the name, last known mailing address, Social Security Number or, if applicable, Employer Identification Number and number of SpineMedica Shares held by each SpineMedica Shareholder as of the date hereof. In the event that SpineMedica is unable to provide the Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number of any SpineMedica Shareholder, it shall send a Form W-9 to such Person at their last known address with instructions to complete and return such form to SpineMedica.

(c) All shares of SpineMedica Common Stock that immediately prior to the Effective Time are held in the treasury of SpineMedica or owned by SpineMedica shall be

 

6

 


canceled and retired and no capital stock of MiMed x , cash, or other consideration shall be paid or delivered in exchange therefor.

Section 2.2 Treatment of Acquisition Company Ownership . Each limited liability company interest of Acquisition Company (“Acquisition Company LLC Interest”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will remain issued and outstanding, which shall be the only capital of Acquisition Company issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time.

Section 2.3 Fractional Shares . De minimis adjustments may be made to the relative amounts of MiMed x Shares to avoid fractional shares of MiMed x capital stock being issued.

Section 2.4 SpineMedica Stock Options . At the Effective Time, each stock option to purchase shares of SpineMedica Common Stock (each a “SpineMedica Stock Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable (each, an “Assumed Option”), shall be assumed by MiMed x . Each Assumed Option shall be converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of MiMed x Common Stock equal to the number of shares of SpineMedica Common Stock subject to such SpineMedica Stock Option. Each Assumed Option shall have a exercise price per share equal to the per share exercise price of the SpineMedica Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option. Each Assumed Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective SpineMedica Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. It is the intention of the Parties that each Assumed Option that qualified as a United States-based incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall continue to so qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time. MiMed x shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of MiMed x Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of all Assumed Options assumed in accordance with this Section 2.4.

Section 2.5 SpineMedica Warrants . Except for the warrant issued to MiMed x that will be terminated immediately after the Effective Time as set forth in Section 2.11, at the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase, acquire or otherwise receive SpineMedica Shares, excluding SpineMedica Stock Options (each a “SpineMedica Warrant”), that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable (each, an “Assumed Warrant”), shall be assumed by MiMed x . Each Assumed Warrant shall be converted into a warrant to acquire that number of MiMed x Shares equal to the number of SpineMedica Shares subject to such SpineMedica Warrant. Each Assumed Warrant shall have a exercise price per share equal to the per share exercise price of the SpineMedica Shares subject to such Assumed Warrant. Each Assumed Warrant shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective SpineMedica Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time. MiMed x shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of MiMed x Shares for issuance upon exercise of all Assumed Warrants assumed in accordance with this Section 2.5.

Section 2.6 Effects of the Merger . At the Effective Time: (a) the separate existence of SpineMedica will cease, SpineMedica will be merged with and into Acquisition Company, and Acquisition Company will be the surviving entity pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of

 

7

 


Merger (the “Surviving Entity”); (b) the Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement of Acquisition Company will be the Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement of the Surviving Entity; (c) each Acquisition Company LLC Interest outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain outstanding as provided in Section 2.2 above; (d) a Board of Managers consisting of three managers, which initially shall be R. Lewis Bennett, Steve Gorlin and Thomas D’Alonzo will be appointed immediately after the Effective Time to manage the Surviving Entity, and the officers of SpineMedica in effect at the Effective Time will be the officers of Surviving Entity; (e) each SpineMedica Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted as provided in Section 2.1; and (f) the Merger will, at and after the Effective Time, have all of the effects provided by applicable law.

Section 2.7 Tax-Free Reorganization . The Parties intend to adopt this Agreement as a tax-free plan of reorganization and to consummate the Merger in accordance with the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code. The Parties believe that the value of the non-cash consideration to be received by the SpineMedica Shareholders in the Merger is equal to the value of the SpineMedica Shares to be surrendered in exchange therefor. The MiMed x Shares and Warrants issued in connection with the Merger will be issued solely in exchange for SpineMedica Shares, and no other transaction other than the Merger represents, provides for or is intended to be an adjustment to, the consideration paid for the SpineMedica Shares. MiMed x represents now, and as of the Closing, that (i) it presently intends to continue SpineMedica’s historic business or use a significant portion of the SpineMedica’s business assets in a business and (ii) it has not and does not intend to take any action resulting in the treatment of Acquisition Company as other than a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. SpineMedica acknowledges that it has received its own independent tax advice and counsel with respect to the Merger and the transactions contemplated herein and is not relying on representations made by MiMed x or its counsel, accountants or advisors with respect thereto.

Section 2.8 Restricted Shares . The MiMed x Shares to be issued to the SpineMedica Shareholders in connection with the Merger, including the shares of MiMed x Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore may not be sold by the SpineMedica Shareholders except pursuant to an exemption from registration. SpineMedica understands that all certificates for MiMed x Shares issued to the SpineMedica Shareholders may bear one or more legends as MiMedx deems necessary to comply with applicable state and federal securities laws and any legend required by the MiMed x Common Shareholders’ Agreement, the MiMed x Preferred Shareholders’ Agreement or any other agreement of MiMed x to which a SpineMedica Shareholder will be a party.

Section 2.9 Delivery of SpineMedica Certificates and Payment of Merger Consideration .

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.9, on the Effective Date, each holder of a certificate which formerly represented SpineMedica Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “SpineMedica Certificate”) shall be entitled, upon surrender thereof to MiMed x , to receive the Merger Consideration on the terms set forth in this Agreement. At the Closing or any time thereafter, each of the SpineMedica Shareholders shall surrender to MiMed x the SpineMedica Certificates representing the SpineMedica Shares held by such

 

8

 


SpineMedica Shareholder, which SpineMedica Certificates shall be in good delivery form, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock transfer powers duly executed. In addition thereto, each SpineMedica Shareholder holding shares of SpineMedica Common Stock shall e execute and deliver to MiMed x a counterpart signature page in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G to become a party to the MiMed x Common Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Common Counterpart Signature Page”), and each SpineMedica Shareholder holding shares of SpineMedica Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall execute and deliver to MiMed x a counterpart signature page in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H to become a party to each of the MiMed x Preferred Shareholders’ Agreement and the MiMed x Registration Rights Agreement (the “Preferred Counterpart Signature Page”). At the Closing or any time thereafter, upon surrender of the applicable SpineMedica Certificates together with the applicable counterpart signature page, MiMed x shall deliver the appropriate Merger Consideration. For purposes of this Section 2.9(a), any outstanding SpineMedica Certificate shall not be deemed surrendered to MiMed x until such time as such SpineMedica Certificate is delivered along with a fully-executed counterpart signature page applicable to such SpineMedica Certificate to Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC, counsel for MiMed x , at the address provided in Section 6.3 hereof. Until so surrendered, each outstanding SpineMedica Certificate shall, upon and after the Effective Date of the Merger, be deemed for all purposes to represent and evidence only the right to receive payment therefor as aforesaid.

(b) If any holder of Shares shall have served a written demand upon SpineMedica to be paid the “fair value” of his or her Shares as provided in Section 607.1323 of the FBCA (any such shareholder being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”) and if a Dissenting Shareholder has met the requirements of the FBCA and if it is determined that such Dissenting Shareholder has the right to receive payment of the “fair value” of his or her Shares pursuant to the provisions of Sections 607.1301-1333 of the FBCA, such Dissenting Shareholder shall receive such payment from the Surviving Entity (but only after the value of such Shares has been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 607.1324 or 607.1330, respectively, of the FBCA). However, notwithstanding the above or anything in this Merger Agreement to the contrary, MiMed x reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to consummate the Merger if there is one or more Dissenting Shareholder(s).

Section 2.10 No Further Transfers . Upon and after the Effective Date, no transfer of the SpineMedica Shares outstanding prior to the Effective Date shall be made on the stock transfer books of SpineMedica.

Section 2.11 Cancellation of Promissory Note, Stock Pledge Agreement, and Warrant . The Nonrecourse Secured Promissory Note, dated March 12, 2007, in the principal amount of $2,000,000, issued to MiMed x by SpineMedica (the “Note”), shall be canceled immediately after the Effective Time and shall no longer a binding obligation of Acquisition Company (as successor to SpineMedica). In connection with the cancellation of the Note, the Stock Pledge Agreement by and between SpineMedica and MiMed x to provide security for payment of the Note, and the warrant for 270,000 shares of SpineMedica Common Stock issued to MiMed x , both dated March 12, 2007, shall be terminated and all rights and obligations of the Parties thereunder shall be terminated.
