1.4 Effect of Merger. ROK, as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, will continue to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the separate corporate existence of ROK and all of its rights, privileges, immunities and franchises, public or private, and all of its duties and liabilities as a corporation organized under the DGCL will continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger. At the close of business on the Effective Date of the Merger, the existence of Cyberfund as a distinct entity shall cease. At that time all rights, franchises and interests of ROK and Cyberfund, respectively, in and to every type of property, whether real, personal or mixed, and choices in action shall be transferred to and vested in ROK by virtue of the Merger without any deed or other transfer. ROK, without any order or other action on the part of any court or otherwise, shall possess all and singular the rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and shall be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of Cyberfund and ROK, and all property, whether real, personal or mixed, of Cyberfund and ROK, and all debts due to Cyberfund or ROK on whatever account, and all other things in action or belonging to each of said corporations, shall be vested in ROK. All property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest of Cyberfund or ROK as of the Effective Date of the Merger, including, but not limited to, all patents, trademarks, licenses, registrations, and all other intellectual properties, shall thereafter be the property of ROK to the same extent and effect as such was of the respective Constituent Corporations prior to the Effective Date of the Merger, and the title to any real estate vested by deed or otherwise in Cyberfund and ROK shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the Merger; provided, however, that all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of Cyberfund or ROK shall thenceforth attach to ROK and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities, and duties had been incurred or contracted by ROK. Neither the rights of creditors nor any liens or security interests upon the property of either of the Constituent Corporations shall be impaired by the Merger. ROK shall carry on business with the assets of Cyberfund and ROK. The established offices and facilities of ROK and Cyberfund immediately prior to the Merger shall become the established offices and facilities of ROK.
All corporate acts, plans, policies, resolutions, approvals and authorizations of the stockholders, Board of Directors, committees elected or appointed by the Board of Directors, officers and agents of Cyberfund, which were valid and effective immediately prior to the Merger shall be taken for all purposes as the acts, plans, policies, resolutions, approvals and authorizations of the Surviving Corporation and shall be as effective and binding thereon as the same were with respect to Cyberfund. The employees of Cyberfund shall become the employees of the Surviving Corporation and continue to be entitled to the same rights and benefits which they enjoyed as employees of Cyberfund.
1.5 Disposition and Conversion of Shares. The mode of carrying the Merger into effect and the manner and the disposition of the shares of Cyberfund and ROK shall be as follows:
(a) ROK Shares. Each share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of ROK issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date of the Merger shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by ROK, the holder of such shares or by any other person, be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares, all rights in respect thereof shall cease to exist and no shares of ROK common stock or other securities of the Surviving Corporation shall be issuable with respect thereto.
(b) Cyberfund Non-Dissenting Shares. Each share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Cyberfund issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date of the Merger other than the shares, if any, of Cyberfund for which appraisal rights shall be perfected under Section 18-1091 of the OGCA (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Cyberfund, the holder of such shares or any other person, be converted into and exchanged for one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
(c) Cyberfund Dissenting Shares. The holders of Dissenting Shares of Cyberfund common stock who have complied with all requirements for perfecting the rights of appraisal of stockholders set forth in Section 10-1091 of the OGCA with respect to their Dissenting Shares of Cyberfund common stock shall be entitled to their rights under the OGCA.
(d) Exchange of Certificates. Each outstanding certificate theretofore representing shares of Cyberfund common stock that are not Dissenting Shares (the “Non-Dissenting Shares”) shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole shares of the ROK common stock into which such Non-Dissenting Shares of Cyberfund common stock were converted in the Merger and the holder thereof shall not be required to surrender such certificate for a certificate issued by ROK. However, after the Effective Date of the Merger, each holder of an outstanding certificate representing Non-Dissenting Shares of Cyberfund common stock may, at such stockholder’s option and sole discretion, surrender the same for cancellation to OTC Stock Transfer Co., as the sole stock transfer and registrar of the Cyberfund common stock and as exchange agent therefor (the “Exchange Agent”), and each such holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of the ROK common stock into which the surrendered shares were converted as herein provided.
The registered owner on the books and records of ROK or the Exchange Agent of any such outstanding certificate representing Non-Dissenting Shares of Cyberfund common stock shall, until such certificate shall have been surrendered for transfer or conversion or otherwise accounted for to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to and to receive dividends and other distributions upon the shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation represented by such outstanding certificate as provided above.
Each certificate representing common stock of the Surviving Corporation so issued in the Merger shall bear the same legends, if any, with respect to the restrictions on transferability as the certificates of Cyberfund so converted and given in exchange therefor, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation in compliance with applicable laws.
If any certificate for shares of ROK stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, that such transfer otherwise be proper and that the person requesting such transfer pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of issuance of such new certificate in a name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of ROK that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(e) Validity of ROK Common Stock. At the Effective Date of the Merger, all shares of ROK common stock into which the Non-Dissenting Shares of Cyberfund common stock are to be converted pursuant to the Merger shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the corresponding shares of Cyberfund common stock.
1.6 Certificate of Incorporation of Surviving Corporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of ROK as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of the Merger shall continue in full force and effect as the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable law.
1.7 Bylaws of Surviving Corporation. The Bylaws of ROK as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of the Merger shall continue in full force and effect as the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until altered, amended or repealed as provided in the Bylaws or as provided by applicable law.

The directors and officers of Cyberfund as of the Effective Date of the Merger shall be and become the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified or until their sooner death, resignation or removal.
1.9 Accounting Matters. The assets and liabilities of the Constituent Corporations, as of the Effective Date of the Merger, shall be taken upon the books of the Surviving Corporation at the amounts at which they shall be carried at that time on the books of the respective Constituent Corporations. The amount of the capital surplus and earned surplus accounts of the Surviving Corporation after the Merger shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and generally accepted accounting principles.
