Conversion of KBL Common Stock . Other than any
shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(b) and subject
to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.5(c), each share of
common stock, par value $.0001, of KBL (“ KBL Common
Stock ”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the

of common stock of PRWT (“ PRWT Common Stock
”). Following the Merger, each certificate

Merger, all shares of KBL Common Stock that are not certificated
and which are converted into PRWT Common Stock in the Merger shall
be deemed replaced by the same number of shares of uncertificated
PRWT Common Stock on the books and records of the Surviving
Pubco’s transfer agent and all other entities that maintain
records with respect thereto. The shares of PRWT Common Stock that
would otherwise be issuable pursuant to this Section 1.5(a) to
Persons who hold Dissenting Shares (as defined in
Section 1.15) and exercise their appraisal rights pursuant to
applicable Delaware Law shall not be issued to such Persons and
shall be canceled.
(b)
Cancellation of Treasury and PRWT-Owned Stock

PRWT or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of KBL or
PRWT immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and

PRWT Common Stock that the holders of KBL Common Stock (and the
number of PRWT Warrants and PRWT Units that holders of KBL Warrants

shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of
any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any
dividend or distribution of securities convertible into PRWT Common
Stock or KBL Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividends,
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination,
exchange of shares or other like change with respect to PRWT Common
Stock or KBL Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and
prior to the Effective Time except that no such adjustment shall be

1.6.
(d)
No Fractional Shares . No fraction of a share of
PRWT Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger or the
transaction contemplated hereby, and each holder of shares of KBL
Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a
share of PRWT Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares
of PRWT Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such
holder) shall be deemed to receive from the Surviving Pubco, in
lieu of such fractional share, one (1) share of PRWT Common
Stock.
(e)
Conversion of KBL Warrants . Subject to
adjustment in accordance with Section 1.5(c), each warrant (“
KBL Warrant ”) to purchase shares of KBL Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be automatically converted into a warrant (“ PRWT
Warrant ”) to purchase the equivalent number of shares of
PRWT Common Stock having terms and conditions substantially
identical in all material respects to the terms and conditions
pertaining to the KBL Warrants. The PRWT Warrants shall
be governed by the Warrant Agreement dated July 19, 2007 between
KBL and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust PRWT (“
Continental ”), as Warrant Agent. Following
the Merger, each certificate evidencing KBL Warrants shall
automatically be deemed to represent the same number of PRWT
Warrants without surrender or exchange of such
certificate. Following the Merger, all KBL Warrants that

Surviving Pubco’s transfer agent and all other entities that
maintain records with respect thereto.
(f)
Conversion of KBL Units . Subject to adjustment
in accordance with Section 1.5(c), each unit (“ KBL
Unit ”) consisting of one (1) share of KBL Common Stock
and one (1) KBL Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into a unit
(“ PRWT Unit ”) consisting of one (1) shares of
PRWT Common Stock and (1) PRWT Warrant. Following the
Merger, each certificate evidencing KBL Units shall automatically
be deemed to represent the same number of PRWT Units without
surrender or exchange of such certificate. Following the
Merger, all KBL Units that are not certificated shall be deemed
replaced by the same number of uncertificated PRWT Units on the
books and records of the Surviving Pubco’s transfer agent and
all other entities that maintain records with respect
thereto.
(g)
No Further Ownership Rights in KBL Stock . All
PRWT Common Stock, PRWT Warrants and PRWT Units deemed issued to
holders of KBL securities upon consummation of the Merger and
conversion of the KBL securities shall be deemed to have been
issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the
corresponding outstanding KBL securities and there shall be no
further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving
Pubco of the KBL securities that were outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time.
(h)
No Liability . Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Article I, no party hereto shall be liable to a
holder of KBL securities or PRWT Common Stock for any amount
properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
1.6
PRWT Recapitalization . On or before the Closing
Date, PRWT shall recapitalize so that there are eleven million,
nine hundred and fifty thousand (11,950,000) shares of a single
class of PRWT Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Closing, owned by the Stockholders as set forth in
Schedule 1.6 (the “ Stockholder Shares
”); provided, however, that the foregoing number of shares of
PRWT Common Stock shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 1.7, below. No other shares of PRWT Common Stock
shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Closing except as
provided for in this Agreement.
1.7
Net Debt and Adjustment of Merger Shares .
(a) The
term “ Net Debt ” shall mean PRWT’s
combined consolidated indebtedness ( i.e ., all indebtedness
for borrowed money and capitalized leases and equivalents and other
obligations evidenced by promissory notes or similar instruments,
as well as cash overdrafts excluding any costs or expenses incurred
by PRWT or any subsidiary thereof in initially implementing and
establishing compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or
other similar rules and regulations, less PRWT’s combined
consolidated cash and cash equivalents, including all short-term
money market instruments and treasury bills and similar
instruments. From the date hereof through the Closing,
PRWT shall service all indebtedness, payables and receivables in
the ordinary course of business, consistent with past
practice.
(b) PRWT
shall not incur any debt, other than in the ordinary course of
business, during the period from the date three business days prior
to the Closing Date and the Closing Date.
(c) From
the date hereof through the Closing Date, on or before the 5
th day of each calendar month, PRWT shall deliver
to KBL a written statement of PRWT’s Net Debt as of the end
of the immediately preceding calendar month (“ Periodic
Net Debt Statement ”), which shall (i) provide such
detailed information as may be reasonably requested by KBL prior to
such date, (ii) be derived utilizing generally accepted accounting
principles, consistent with PRWT’s historical practice and
(iii) be certified as being true and complete by PRWT’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
(d) On
the third business day prior to the scheduled Closing Date, PRWT
shall deliver to KBL and PRWT’s auditors (“
Independent Accountant ”) a written statement of the
estimate of PRWT’s Net Debt as of the close of business of
the business day immediately prior to the delivery (“
Estimated Net Debt Amount ”), which shall (i) provide
such detailed information as may be reasonably requested by KBL
prior to such date, (ii) be derived utilizing generally accepted
accounting principles, consistent with PRWT’s historical
practice and (iii) be certified as being true and complete by
PRWT’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer.
(e) If
PRWT’s Estimated Net Debt Amount is less than $45,000,000, as
determined in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate number
of Stockholder Shares shall be increased (“ Stockholder
Shares Increase Amount ”) by an amount equal to the Net
Debt Surplus divided by $7.85. “ Net Debt
Surplus ” shall mean the amount by which $45,000,000
exceeds the Estimated Net Debt Amount. As an example, if
the Estimated Net Debt Amount is $44,000,000, the Net Debt Surplus
will be $1,000,000, the Stockholder Shares Increase Amount will be
$1,000,000 divided by $7.85, or 127,389 shares (and an aggregate of
12,077,389 Stockholder Shares will be issued under Section
1.6).
(f) If
PRWT’s Estimated Net Debt Amount is more than $45,000,000, as
determined in accordance with this Agreement, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 1.7(i) hereof, the aggregate
number of Stockholder Shares issued at Closing shall be decreased
(“ Stockholder Shares Decrease Amount ”) by an
amount equal to the Net Debt Excess divided by
$7.85. “ Net Debt Excess ” shall mean
the amount by which the Estimated Net Debt Amount exceeds
$45,000,000. As an example, if the Estimated Net Debt
Amount is $46,000,000, the Net Debt Excess will be $1,000,000, the
Stockholders Shares Decrease Amount will be $1,000,000 divided by
$7.85, or 127,389 shares (and an aggregate of 11,822,611
Stockholders Shares will be issued under Section
1.6). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Stockholder Shares Decrease Amount shall not exceed the number
of Escrow Shares.
(g)
As soon as practicable after the Closing, but not later than sixty
(60) days after the Closing, the Representative (as defined in
Section 1.12(b)) shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts
to deliver to the Committee a statement (the “ Closing Net
Debt Statement ”) showing, in reasonable detail, the
calculation of PRWT’s Net Debt as of the Closing (the “
Closing Net Debt Amount ”). The Committee
and PRWT shall cooperate with the Representative in connection with
the preparation of the Closing Net Debt Statement. If
the Representative does not receive written notice from the
Committee disputing the Closing Net Debt Statement within the
fifteen (15) day period mentioned in Section 1.7(k) below, then the
Closing Net Debt Statement shall become final and binding on the
parties. The costs and expenses of the preparation of
the Closing Net Debt Statement shall be borne by the Surviving
Pubco.
(h) If
the Closing Net Debt Amount (as finally determined, pursuant to
Section 1.7(g) or (k), as applicable) is less than the Estimated
Net Debt Amount, the Surviving Pubco shall issue to the
Stockholders, within ten (10) days after the final determination of
the Closing Net Debt Amount, shares of PRWT Common Stock equal to
(x) the amount by which the Closing Net Debt Amount is less than
the Estimated Net Debt Amount divided by (y) $7.85. If
the Closing Net Debt Amount is greater than the Estimated Net Debt
Amount, the Surviving Pubco shall be entitled, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 1.7(i) hereof, to withdraw, within
ten (10) days after the final determination of the Closing Net Debt
Amount, the amount of Escrow Shares (as defined in Section 1.10)
equal to (x) the amount by which the Closing Net Debt Amount
exceeds the Estimated Net Debt Amount divided by (y)
$7.85. If the Closing Net Debt Amount is equal to the
Estimated Net Debt Amount, there shall be no adjustment.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of shares
of PRWT Common Stock to be issued to the Stockholders pursuant to
either Section 1.7(f) or (h) shall serve to reduce the Escrow
Shares (and not the 11,008,789 shares of PRWT Common Stock to be
issued pursuant to Section 1.6 that are not subject to the escrow
described in Section 1.10), and that any such reduction shall be
limited to the number of Escrow Shares actually remaining in the
Escrow Account.
(j) The
calculation of the Estimated Net Debt Amount and the Closing Net
Debt Amount shall be made in accordance with U.S. GAAP (as defined
in Section 2.7(a)) and consistent with past practice.
(k) If
the Committee disagrees with the Closing Net Debt Statement used to
calculate the Closing Net Debt Amount, it shall notify the
Representative of such disagreement in writing specifying in
reasonable detail any and all items of disagreement (each, an
“ Item of Dispute ” ) within
fifteen (15) calendar days after its receipt of the Closing Net
Debt Statement. The Representative and the Committee
shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts for a period
of fifteen (15) calendar days after the Committee’s delivery
of such notice (or such longer period as PRWT and the Committee may
mutually agree upon) to resolve any Items of Dispute raised by the
Committee with respect to the Closing Net Debt
Statement. During any such period of dispute, the
Committee and Representative shall have reasonable access to the
working papers of the Representative’s accountants relating
to the Closing Net Debt Amount. If, at the end of such
period, the Representative and the Committee do not resolve any
such Item of Dispute, either the Representative or the Committee
may submit the matter to a mutually acceptable independent
accounting firm of recognized national standing to review the
Closing Net Debt Statement and resolve any remaining Items of
Dispute regarding the Closing Net Debt Amount. In the
event the Representative and the Committee cannot agree upon an
accounting firm within ten (10) days after notice from a party to
the other party, they shall choose an accounting firm by lot from
those accounting firms of recognized national standing practicing
in Pennsylvania having no material relationship to the
Representative, KBL, the Committee or their respective Affiliates
and having offices in locations suitable to conduct such
review. The accounting firm selected in accordance with
the preceding two sentences is referred to herein as the “
Accounting Firm .” The Representative and
the Committee shall request that the Accounting Firm render a
determination on each Item of Dispute, solely based on whether such
Item of Dispute was prepared accurately and in accordance with U.S.
GAAP and consistent with past practice. The
determination by the Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and
conclusive on the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in a
court of competent jurisdiction. The Representative and
the Committee shall make their respective submissions to the
Accounting Firm within twenty (20) business days after selecting
such firm pursuant to this Section 1.7(i). The
Representative and the Committee shall use their commercially
reasonable best efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its
determination within thirty (30) calendar days after accepting its
selection. All of the fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Surviving Pubco.
(l)
Required Withholding . The Surviving Pubco shall
be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable
or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person
such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom
under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign
tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement. To the
extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall
be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been
paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been
paid.
1.8
Tax Consequences . It is intended by the parties
hereto that the Merger shall constitute reorganization within the
meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties hereto
adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization”
within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the
United States Income Tax Regulations.
1.9
Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action . If,
at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is
necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement
and to vest the Surviving Pubco with full right, title and
possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and
franchises of PRWT and KBL, the then current officers and directors
of KBL, and the officers and directors of PRWT shall take all such
lawful and necessary action.
1.10
General Escrow . As the sole remedy for the
indemnification obligations set forth in Article VII of this
Agreement, and for downward adjustments to the Stockholder Shares
required under Section 1.7, 941,211 of the Stockholder Shares (the
“ Escrow Shares ”) shall be deposited in escrow
(the “ Escrow Account ”), which shall be
allocated among the Stockholders in the same proportion as the
Stockholder Shares are allocated among them under Section 1.6, as
set forth in Schedule 1.10 , all in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the escrow agreement to be entered into at
the Closing between the Surviving Pubco, the Representative, each
of the Stockholders (by power of attorney granted to the
Representative appointed pursuant to Section 1.12(b)) and
Continental, as escrow agent (“ Escrow Agent ”),
in form and substance mutually and reasonably agreed to by KBL and
PRWT and providing for the terms contemplated by Article VII hereof
(the “ Escrow Agreement ”). The
Escrow Agreement shall provide that, (i) on the 30
th day after the date the Surviving Pubco has filed
with the SEC its Annual Report for the year ending December 31,
2009 on Form 10-K (the “ First Escrow Release Date
”), the Escrow Agent shall release fifty percent (50%) of the
Escrow Shares, less that portion thereof applied in satisfaction of
or reserved with respect to indemnification claims in connection
with claims made pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of this Agreement
(“ Escrow Claims ”) and (ii) on the 30
th day after the date the Surviving Pubco has filed
with the SEC its Annual Report for the year ending December 31,
2010 on Form 10-K (the “ Final Escrow Release Date
”), the Escrow Agent shall release all Escrow
Shares then remaining in escrow, less that portion thereof applied
in satisfaction of or reserved with respect to Escrow
Claims. Any Escrow Shares due to be released on the
First Escrow Release Date or Final Escrow Release Date that
continue to be held with respect to any unresolved Escrow Claim
shall be delivered to the Stockholders in the same proportions as
originally deposited into escrow, promptly upon such resolution,
subject to reduction, if any, for the indemnification obligation
associated with such resolved Escrow Claim.
1.11
EBITDA Share Issuance .
(a) At
Closing, an additional 8,000,000 shares of PRWT Common Stock shall
be issued by PRWT to the Stockholders in the same proportion as the
Stockholder Shares are allocated among them under Section 1.6
(“ EBITDA Shares ”). All of the
EBITDA Shares shall be deposited in escrow in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the escrow agreement to be entered into at
the Closing between the Surviving Pubco, the Representative, each
of the Stockholders (by power of attorney granted to the
Representative) in form and substance mutually and reasonably
agreed to by PRWT and KBL and providing for the terms contemplated
by this Section 1.11 (the “ EBITDA Shares Escrow
Agreement ”). The EBITDA Shares Escrow
Agreement shall provide that the Escrow Agent shall release the
EBITDA Shares as follows:
(i) If
the Surviving Pubco’s EBITDA (as defined in Section 1.11(c))
for the year ending December 31, 2009 (“ 2009 EBITDA
”) is greater than $25,000,000, as set forth in the Surviving
Pubco’s audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ending December 31, 2009, the Stockholders, as a group, shall
be entitled to receive from escrow that number of EBITDA Shares
determined by dividing the 2009 EBITDA Excess by
$1.00. “ 2009 EBITDA Excess ” shall
mean the Surviving Pubco’s actual 2009 EBITDA less
$25,000,000. As an example, if the Surviving
Pubco’s 2009 EBITDA is $27,000,000, the 2009 EBITDA Excess
will be $2,000,000 and the Stockholders will receive from escrow an
aggregate of 2,000,000 EBITDA Shares. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the maximum number of EBITDA Shares to be released from
escrow pursuant to this Section 1.11(a)(i) shall be 2,000,000
shares.
(ii) If
the Surviving Pubco’s EBITDA for the year ending December 31,
2010 (“ 2010 EBITDA ”) is greater than
$30,000,000 as set forth in the Surviving
Pubco’s audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ending December 31, 2010, the Stockholders, as a group, shall
be entitled to receive from escrow that number of shares of PRWT
Common Stock determined by dividing the 2010 EBITDA Excess by
$1.00. “ 2010 EBITDA Excess ” shall
mean the Surviving Pubco’s actual 2010 EBITDA less
$30,000,000. As an example, if the Surviving
Pubco’s 2010 EBITDA is $32,000,000, the 2010 EBITDA Excess
will be $2,000,000 and the Stockholders will receive from escrow an
aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of PRWT Common Stock. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the maximum number of EBITDA Shares issuable under
this Section 1.11(a)(ii) shall be 3,000,000 shares.
(iii) If
the Surviving Pubco’s EBITDA for the year ending December 31,
2011 (“ 2011 EBITDA ”) is greater than
$40,000,000 as set forth in the Surviving
Pubco’s audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ending December 31, 2011, the Stockholders, as a group, shall
be entitled to receive from escrow that number of shares of PRWT
Common Stock determined by dividing the 2011 EBITDA Excess by
$1.00. “ 2011 EBITDA Excess ” shall
mean the Surviving Pubco’s actual 2011 EBITDA less
$40,000,000. As an example, if the Surviving
Pubco’s 2011 EBITDA is $42,500,000, the 2011 EBITDA Excess
will be $2,500,000 and the Stockholders will receive from escrow an
aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of PRWT Common Stock. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the maximum number of EBITDA Shares issuable under
this Section 1.11(a)(iii) shall be 3,000,000 shares.
(iv) In
the event Surviving Pubco engages in (1) a merger or business
combination in which it is not the survivor, (2) a transaction in
which it sells all or substantially all of its assets, or (3) a
similar liquidity event, which in any case results in all of the
holders of PRWT Common Stock receiving consideration having a fair
market value of $9.50 or more per share (as adjusted for and to
equitably and appropriately reflect the effect of any stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or
distribution of securities convertible into PRWT Common Stock),
extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like
change with respect to PRWT Common Stock) then all EBITDA Shares
then held in escrow in accordance with this Section 1.11 shall be
released to the Stockholders no later than the consummation of such
transaction. Further, in each event of exercise of PRWT
Warrants (other than any exercise that occurs upon PRWT electing to
lower the exercise price from the exercise price as of the date
hereof, as same may be adjusted in connection with any stock split
or the aforementioned similar events), an amount of EBITDA Shares
equal to the number of shares of PRWT Common Stock issued upon such
warrant exercise (up to the total amount of EBITDA Shares then held
in escrow) shall be released from escrow and delivered to the
Stockholders, in the same proportion as the Stockholder Shares are
allocated among them under Section 1.6.
(b) Any
release of EBITDA Shares from escrow shall be made as soon as
practicable and in any event, no later than twenty (20) business
days after the date of the event giving rise to the obligation to
release such EBITDA Shares. A party’s right to
receive the EBITDA Shares from escrow shall not be subject to any
right of set-off or recoupment. The parties hereto
acknowledge that the issuance of the EBITDA Shares is being done
without any further consideration paid by the Stockholders, in
order to provide a purchase price adjustment with respect to the
PRWT Common Stock issued in the Merger by adjusting the percentage
of equity issued in the Merger. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if, at anytime, following release
of Surviving Pubco’s audited consolidated financial statement
for the year ending December 31, 2009, no PRWT Warrants remain
outstanding, any EBITDA Shares contemplated by Section 1.10(b)(i)
that were not released to the Stockholders in accordance with such
Section 1.10(b)(i) shall be immediately released from escrow and
returned to Surviving Pubco for cancellation. Similarly,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, at anytime,
following release of Surviving Pubco’s audited consolidated
