The terms and conditions of the merger, the manner and basis of converting the shares of the Alabama Company into shares of the Surviving Corporation and the mode of carrying the merger into effect are hereinafter set forth.

Corporation shall thereafter, consistent with its Certificate of Incorporation, possess all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and purposes of each of the Constituent Corporations; all the property, real, personal and mixed of the Constituent Corporations shall vest in the Surviving Corporation without further act or deed; and the Surviving Corporation shall become liable for all debts, liabilities and obligations and all duties and penalties of each of the Constituent Corporations, with all other consequences provided under the laws of Alabama and Delaware.

With the foregoing qualification, upon the effectiveness of the merger, the assets, liabilities, reserves and accounts of each of the Constituent Corporations shall be taken up on the books of the Surviving Corporation at the amounts at which they shall then be carried on the books of the respective Constituent Corporations, subject to such adjustments, or eliminations of inter-company items, as may be appropriate in giving effect to the merger.

D. Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Delaware Company as set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

Said

 

5


Certificate may be amended separate and apart from this Agreement and shall be and may separately be certified as the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, as amended from time to time.

E. By-Laws. At the effective date of the merger, the by-laws of the Delaware Company shall continue and be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until amended thereafter in accordance with applicable law.

F. Officers and Directors. At the effective date of the merger, the officers and directors of the Delaware Company shall remain in their respective positions and shall be the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation. Such officers and directors shall continue to serve the Surviving Corporation in the same capacities, with the same powers, for the same term and subject to the same conditions as they did the Delaware Company, subject to the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

III. Conversion of Capital Stock.

A. Common Stock of the Delaware Company. Each share of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Delaware Company issued and outstanding at the effective date of the merger, and all rights in respect thereof, shall by virtue of the merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof be converted into and become one share of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

 

6


B. Certificates. Outstanding certificates and other instruments of indebtedness representing shares of the Common Stock of the Delaware Company shall thereafter represent the same number of shares of such stock of the Surviving Corporation, and the holders thereof shall have precisely the same rights that they would have had if such certificates had been issued by the Surviving Corporation.

C. Shares of the Alabama Company. Upon the effectiveness of the merger, the shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Alabama Company outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger (all of which are owned by the sole stockholder of the Delaware Company) shall be cancelled and retired, and no new shares of stock or other securities of the Surviving Corporation shall be issued with respect thereto.

D. Fractional Shares Interests. It shall not be necessary to issue any fractional shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation in respect of either the Common Stock of the Alabama Company or the Common Stock of the Delaware Company.

IV. Termination.

This Agreement may be terminated and the proposed merger abandoned by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Alabama Company

 

7


at any time prior to the effective date of the merger, whether before or after approval of stockholders, if any circumstances develop which in the opinion of such Board make proceeding with the merger inadvisable. In the event of such termination and abandonment, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of either of the Constituent Corporations or their stockholders, directors, or officers with respect thereto.

V. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.
