the office of Asia located at 1281 Alberni Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6E4R4
Canada. A copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger will be provided upon request
and without cost to any stockholder of the Constituent Corporations.
NINTH: Asia's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws in effect
on the Effective Date, as defined below, shall be the articles of incorporation
and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
TENTH: The manner and basis of converting or exchanging the issued stock of
each of the Constituent Corporations into different stock or other consideration
and the treatment of any issued stock of the Constituent Corporations not to be
so converted or exchanged on the Effective Date shall be as follows:
(a) Each share of Technologies Common or Preferred Stock which is
issued but not outstanding or is issued and held as treasury shares on the
Effective Date shall be cancelled.
(b) Each share of Asia Common and Preferred Stock which is issued and
outstanding on the Effective Date shall be cancelled.
(c) All shares of Technologies Common Stock which are issued and
outstanding on the Effective Date shall be converted automatically into
shares of Asia Common Stock, based upon a conversion ratio of one (1) share
of Asia Common Stock for each thirty (30) shares of Technologies Common
Stock; provided, however, that in the event such conversion ratio results
in the issuance of a partial share of Asia Common Stock to any stockholder,
the number of shares of Asia Common Stock issued to such stockholder shall
be rounded up to the next whole share of Asia Common Stock. After the
Effective Date, all rights of holders of Technologies Common Stock shall
cease with respect to such shares, except for the right to receive Asia
Common Stock as provided herein. Such shares of Technologies Common Stock
shall not be transferred on the books of Technologies or be considered to
be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.
(d) From and after the Effective Date, each certificate representing
shares of Technologies Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate
purposes to evidence ownership of shares of Asia Common Stock, based upon a
conversion ratio of one (1) share of Asia Common Stock for each thirty (30)
shares of Technologies Common Stock; provided, however, that in the event
such conversion ratio results in the issuance of a partial share of Asia
Common Stock to any stockholder, the number of shares of Asia Common Stock
issued to such stockholder shall be rounded up to the next whole share of
Asia Common Stock.
2
(e) Each option, warrant or other right to acquire Technologies Common
Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date will be
deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of an outstanding
option, warrant or right to acquire shares of Asia Common Stock, on the
same terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the Effective
Date, except that the exercise price and the number of shares of Asia
common stock underlying each option, warrant or other right will be
adjusted to reflect the 1 for 30 conversion ratio. In the event such
conversion ratio results in the issuance of a partial share of Asia Common
Stock to any such holder upon exercise of such options, warrants or rights,
the number of shares of Asia Common Stock issued to such holder upon
exercise shall be rounded up to the next whole share of Asia Common Stock.
(f) Certificates representing Technologies Common or Preferred Stock
will be replaced after the Effective Date only when submitted to the
transfer agent with a request that they be so replaced or when they are
presented for transfer.
(g) If any holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates
representing Technologies Common or Preferred Stock shall deliver to the
Surviving Corporation such affidavits, indemnity agreements or surety bonds
as Asia shall reasonably require in conformity with its customary procedure
with respect to lost stock certificates, the Surviving Corporation shall
treat such delivery as surrender of any lost or misplaced or destroyed
certificate or certificates representing Technologies Common or Preferred
Stock.
ELEVENTH: Upon the Effective Date:
(a) the assets and liabilities of Technologies shall be taken up on
the books of the Surviving Corporation at the amount at which they shall at
that time be carried on the books of Technologies, subject to such
adjustments, if any, as may be necessary to conform to the Surviving
Corporation's accounting procedures;
(b) all of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and purposes of
Technologies, all property, whether real, personal or mixed, of
Technologies and all debts due to Technologies on whichever account shall
be vested in the Surviving Corporation, and all property rights,
privileges, immunities, powers and purposes, and all and every other
interest shall be thereafter as effectually the property of the Surviving
Corporation as they were of Technologies, and all debts, liabilities,
obligations and duties of Technologies shall thenceforth attach to the
Surviving Corporation and may be enforced against it to the same extent as
if said debts, liabilities, obligations and duties had been incurred or
contracted by it; and
(c) Asia consents to be served with process in the State of Delaware
in any proceeding for enforcement of any obligation of Asia or of
Technologies, including any suit or other proceeding to enforce the right
of any stockholders of the former Technologies as determined in appraisal
proceedings pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware Law, and the Delaware
Secretary of State is irrevocably appointed as its agent to accept service
of process in any such suit or other proceedings. The Delaware Secretary of
3
State shall mail a copy of any such process to Asia at 650 West Georgia
Street, P. O. Box 11586, Vancouver, B. C., Canada V6B4N8.
The Constituent Corporations, by mutual consent of their respective boards
of directors, may amend, modify and supplement this Certificate of Merger in
accordance with Section 252 of the Delaware Law and in such manner as may be
agreed upon by them in writing at any time before or after approval or adoption
thereof by the stockholders of any of the Constituent Corporations or all of
them; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification or supplement
shall affect the rights of the stockholders of any of the Constituent
Corporations in a manner which is materially adverse to such stockholders in the
judgment of their respective boards of directors.
This Certificate of Merger, in compliance with the laws of the State of
Delaware, and the Articles of Merger, in compliance with the State of Colorado,
both duly advised, approved, signed, acknowledged and sealed by Technologies and
Surviving Corporation, as required by the laws of the States of Delaware and
Colorado, respectively, are to be filed of record with the Secretaries of the
States of Delaware and Colorado, and the merger provided for by the Certificate
of Merger and the Articles of Merger shall become effective on the later date
the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State or the
Articles of Merger are filed with the Colorado Secretary of State (the
"Effective Date"), and the separate existence of Technologies, except insofar as
continued by statute, shall cease on the Effective Date.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Technologies and Asia, the corporate parties to the
merger, have caused this Certificate of Merger to be signed in their respective
corporate names and on their behalf by their respective Secretaries and
Treasurers as of the 22nd day of December, 1999.
