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

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

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

the Merger if there is one or more Dissenting
