Corporation ”) and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name “InfoLogix Corporation”

1.2            Effective Time .  The Merger shall become effective on the date and at the time the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL.  The time at which the Merger shall become effective as aforesaid is referred to hereinafter as the “Effective Time.”

1.3            Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, Directors and Officers .

(a)            The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, attached as Exhibit B hereto, as amended by the Certificate of Merger, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time until amended in accordance with its terms and applicable law.

(b)            The Bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, attached as Exhibit C hereto, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time until amended in accordance with its terms and applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.

(c)            The director and officers listed in Exhibit D hereto shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation and Parent, and each shall hold his respective office or offices from and after the Effective Time until his successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified in accordance with applicable law, or as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4            Assets and Liabilities .  From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable sections of the DGCL.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, powers, and franchises of Acquisition Corp. and the Company shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all liabilities and duties of Acquisition Corp. and the Company shall become the liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5            Manner and Basis of Converting Shares .

(a)            At the Effective Time:

(i)             each share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Acquisition Corp. that shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive one share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, so that at the Effective Time, Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation;

2

 



(ii)            the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “ Company Common Stock ”), beneficially owned by the Stockholders listed in Schedule 1.5 (other than shares of Company Common Stock as to which appraisal rights are perfected pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL and not withdrawn or otherwise forfeited and shares of Company Common Stock set forth in Section 1.5(a)(ii) hereof), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock specified in Schedule 1.5 for each of the Stockholders, which shall be equal to 25,000 shares of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock with fractional shares of Parent Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share; and

(iii)           each share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled in the Merger and cease to exist.

(b)            After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.6            Surrender and Exchange of Certificates .  Promptly after the Effective Time and upon (a) surrender of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time or an affidavit and indemnification in form reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Parent stating that such Stockholder has lost their certificate or certificates or that such certificates have been destroyed and (b) delivery of a Letter of Transmittal (as described in Section 4 hereof), Parent shall issue to each record holder of the Company Common Stock surrendering such certificate or certificates and Letter of Transmittal, a certificate or certificates registered in the name of such Stockholder representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive as set forth in Section 1.5(a)(ii) hereof.  Until the certificate, certificates or affidavit is or are surrendered together with the Letter of Transmittal as contemplated by this Section 1.6 and Section 4 hereof, each certificate or affidavit that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed at and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender as aforesaid the Parent Common Stock specified in Schedule 1.5 hereof for the holder thereof or to perfect any rights of appraisal which such holder may have pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
