Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, a certificate of merger in

TBOC and thereafter delivered to the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
for filing as provided in the DGCL and to the Secretary of State of the State of
Texas for filing as provided in the TBOC simultaneously with the Closing (as

the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
and the Secretary of State of the State of Texas for filing as provided in the
DGCL and the TBOC, respectively (the "Effective Time").
SECTION 1.02. Effects of the Merger.
(a) At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, (i) the separate
corporate existence of BBI shall cease and BBI shall be merged with and into
Merger Sub, and Merger Sub shall be the surviving corporation (the "Surviving
Corporation"); (ii) all of the issued and outstanding BBI Common Stock shall be
converted as provided in Section 1.03; (iii) the certificate of incorporation of
Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the
certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation; and (iv) the by-laws
of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the
by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto and to
any other applicable laws, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights,
privileges, powers and franchises of BBI and Merger Sub shall vest in the
Surviving Corporation, and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, all debts,
liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of BBI and Merger Sub shall
become the debts, liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the
Surviving Corporation. As promptly as possible after the Effective Time, the
Surviving Corporation shall change its name to Boo Koo Beverages, Inc.
SECTION 1.03. Conversion of Securities.
As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of any holder thereof:
(a) Each share of BBI Common Stock that is issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares of BBI Common Stock
that are owned by shareholders who have not consented to the Merger and who have
otherwise taken all of the steps required by Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the
TBOC to properly exercise and perfect such shareholders' dissenters rights (such
shares of BBI Common Stock, the "Dissenting Shares") shall, except as set forth
below, be converted into that number of shares of CFG Common Stock equal to the
Conversion Amount. All such shares of BBI Common Stock shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to
exist, and each holder of a certificate representing such shares of BBI Common
Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except (i) the right
to receive the number of shares of CFG Common Stock to be issued in
-2-
consideration therefor upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with
Section 1.05, without interest, or (ii), in the case of Dissenting Shares, the
right to receive the payment to which reference is made in Section 1.04(a).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any BBI Stockholders (each, a "Non-Certifying BBI
Stockholder") who fail to provide to BBI prior to the Effective Time either (i)
the appropriate certifications and/or questionnaires that such BBI Stockholder
is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 502 of Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
as determined by the Surviving Corporation and its counsel, or (ii) an executed
Purchaser Representative Agreement appointing a "purchaser representative" (as
such term is defined in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act), then such Non-Certifying BBI Stockholder(s) shall not be
entitled to receive shares of CFG Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.03(a)
and in lieu thereof, shall receive cash in amount equal to the number of shares
of CFG Common Stock such BBI Stockholder would have received in the Merger
multiplied by a price per share of CFG Common Stock equal to $0.10. In addition,
no fractional shares shall be issued and in the event a BBI Stockholder is
entitled to receive a fractional share in an amount of (i) up to .49 of a share,
then the number of shares to be issued to such BBI Stockholder shall be rounded
down and (ii) .5 of a share or above, then the number of shares of CFG Common
Stock to be issued to such BBI Stockholder shall be rounded up to the nearest
whole share; and
(b) Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and be
converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and each
certificate evidencing ownership of any such shares of Merger Sub shall
thereupon evidence ownership of the same number of shares of the Surviving
Corporation.
(c) Each share of CFG Common Stock that is issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by BBI shall be canceled and
each certificate evidencing ownership of any such shares shall thereupon be
canceled.
(d) Each outstanding option and warrant to purchase shares of BBI Common
Stock (each a "BBI Stock Option and Warrant" and, collectively, "BBI Stock
Options and Warrants") whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by CFG. Each
BBI Stock Option and Warrant so assumed by CFG under this Agreement will
continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such BBI
Stock Option and Warrant, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Closing
(including without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions and
provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting on certain transactions, other
than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), except that (i) each BBI
Stock Option and Warrant, as the case may be, will be exercisable (or will
become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares
of CFG Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of BBI Common
Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such BBI Stock Option and Warrant, as
the case may be, immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by the Conversion
Amount, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of CFG Common Stock,
and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of CFG Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of such assumed BBI Stock Option and Warrant, as the case
may be, will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price
per share of BBI Common Stock at which such BBI Stock Option or Warrant, as the
case may be, was exercisable immediately prior to the Closing by the Conversion
-3-
Amount, rounded down to the nearest whole cent. At the Effective Time, the MVPS
Warrant shall be exercised and MVPS, LLC shall be issued shares of CFG Common
Stock equal to 3% of the outstanding shares of CFG Common Stock.
SECTION 1.04. Dissenting Shares.
(a) As promptly as practicable but in no event later than the 11th calendar
day following approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of BBI, BBI will
mail to every shareholder of record of BBI that did not consent to the approval
of this Agreement, notice of the fact and date of the approval of this Agreement
and the Merger in accordance with Section 6.202(d) of the TBOC and that the
shareholder may exercise the shareholder's right to dissent from the Merger in
accordance with Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC. The notice shall be
accompanied by a copy of Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC, a copy of this
Agreement, and such additional information and materials as the Surviving
Corporation or CFG may elect to provide.
(b) Any holder of shares of BBI Common Stock who perfects such holder's
rights of dissent and appraisal in accordance with and as contemplated by
Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC shall not receive payment pursuant to
Section 1.03 but shall instead be entitled to receive from CFG, the fair value
of such shares in cash as determined pursuant to such provision of the TBOC;
provided, that no such payment shall be made to any dissenting shareholder
unless and until such dissenting shareholder has complied with the applicable
provisions of the TBOC and surrendered to CFG the certificate or certificates
representing the shares for which payment is being made. In the event that a
dissenting shareholder of BBI fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or
loses, such holder's right to dissent and receive payment for such holder's
shares, CFG shall issue and deliver the consideration to which such holder of
shares of CFG Common Stock is entitled under this Article I (without interest)
upon surrender by such holder of the certificate or certificates representing
the shares of BBI Common Stock held by such holder.
(c) BBI shall give CFG prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal
or payment for shares of BBI Common Stock received by it, attempted withdrawals
of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable law that
are received by BBI with respect to shareholders' rights to dissent. BBI shall
not, without the prior written consent of CFG, voluntarily make any payment with
respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.
(d) CFG shall control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any
demands for dissenter's rights. CFG shall promptly pay to any dissenting
shareholder any and all amounts due and owing to such holder as a result of any
settlement or final determination by any court of competent jurisdiction with
respect to such demands.
SECTION 1.05. Exchange Procedures.
(a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, CFG shall mail to each
BBI Stockholder a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting
the surrender of certificates representing shares of BBI Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "Certificates") in
appropriate and customary form with such provisions as the board of directors of
CFG after the Merger may reasonably specify. Upon surrender of a Certificate for
-4-
cancellation to CFG, together with such letter of transmittal, duly and properly
executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in
exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of shares of CFG Common
Stock as is equal to the product of the number of shares of BBI Common Stock
represented by the certificate multiplied by the Conversion Amount, together
with any dividends and other distributions payable as provided in Section 1.06
hereof, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered
as contemplated by this Section 1.05, each Certificate shall, at and after the
Effective Time, be deemed to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender
of such Certificate, CFG Common Stock as contemplated by this Section 1.05,
together with any dividends and other distributions payable as provided in
Section 1.06 hereof, and the holders thereof shall have no rights whatsoever as
stockholders of CFG. Shares of CFG Common Stock issued in the Merger shall be
issued, and be deemed to be outstanding, as of the Effective Time. CFG shall
cause all such shares of CFG Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger to be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject
to preemptive rights.
(b) If any certificate representing shares of CFG Common 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 such exchange that
the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in
proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay
any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates
for such shares of CFG Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered
holder of the Certificate so surrendered.
(c) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed,
upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such
Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and upon the posting by such person
of a bond in such amount as CFG may reasonably direct as an indemnity against
any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, CFG will
issue in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate one or more
certificates representing shares of CFG Common Stock as contemplated by this
Section 1.05 and such person shall be entitled to the dividend and other
distribution rights provided in Section 1.06 hereof.
(d) If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to three
years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on
which any payment in respect hereof would otherwise escheat or become the
property of any governmental unit or agency), the payment in respect of such
Certificates shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the
property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interests
of any person previously entitled thereto.
(e) CFG shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of a Certificate
surrendered for shares of CFG Common Stock (and dividends or distributions with
respect to CFG Common Stock as contemplated by Section 1.06 hereof) such amount
as CFG is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such
payment under the Code, or provisions of any state, local or foreign tax law. To
the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be
treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of
such Certificate.
-5-
SECTION 1.06. Dividends and Distributions.
No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to
CFG Common Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid
to the holder of a Certificate entitled by reason of the Merger to receive
certificates representing CFG Common Stock until such holder surrenders such
Certificate as provided in Section 1.05 hereof. Upon such surrender, there shall
be paid by CFG to the person in whose name certificates representing shares of
CFG Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the terms of this Article I (i) at
the time of the surrender of such Certificate, the amount of any dividends and
other distributions theretofore paid with respect to that number of whole shares
of such CFG Common Stock represented by such surrendered Certificate pursuant to
the terms of this Article I, which dividends or other distributions had a record
date on or after the Effective Time and a payment date prior to such surrender
and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends and other
distributions payable with respect to that number of whole shares of CFG Common
Stock represented by such surrendered Certificate pursuant to the terms of this
Article I, which dividends or other distributions have a record date on or after
the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender.
SECTION 1.07. Directors.
Subject to applicable law, the directors of BBI immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation
and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and
qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal, in accordance with
applicable law and the Surviving Corporation's certificate of incorporation and
bylaws. Immediately after the Effective Time, the directors of CFG shall resign
and the directors of BBI immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
elected as the directors of CFG. The directors of CFG prior to the Effective
Time shall remain entitled to indemnification for acts and omissions prior to
the Effective Time to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and the
certificate of incorporation and bylaws of CFG in effect prior to the Effective
Time.

prior to the Effective Time shall remain entitled to indemnification for acts
and omissions prior to the Effective Time to the fullest extent permitted under
Delaware law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of CFG in effect
prior to the Effective Time.
SECTION 1.09. No Liability.
Neither CFG nor BBI shall be liable to any holder of shares of BBI
Common Stock or CFG Common Stock, as the case may be, for such shares (or
dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public
official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

which are set forth in Section 3.04 of the CFG Disclosure Schedule and as to
