WHEREAS, EBI-New Jersey wishes to change the state of its incorporation by merging into EBI-Delaware; and

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of the Constituent Corporations have adopted resolutions approving such merger and this Agreement and have directed that the plan of merger set forth herein be submitted to the stockholders of EBI-New Jersey and EBI-Delaware, respectively, in accordance with the applicable laws of the States of Delaware and New Jersey;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that the terms and conditions of the merger and the mode of carrying it into effect shall be as follows:

§1. Merger. On the Effective Date (as defined in §10 hereof), EBI-New Jersey shall be merged into EBI-Delaware , the separate corporate existence of EBI-New Jersey shall cease and EBI-Delaware shall continue in existence as the Surviving Corporation. Such merger shall in all respects have the effect provided for in Section 259 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.


§2. Exchange of Stock. On the Effective Date, each issued and outstanding share of the common stock of EBI-Delaware shall be cancelled and retired, all rights in respect thereof shall cease, and the capital applicable to such shares shall be eliminated. Each share of the common stock of EBI-New Jersey (other than shares held in treasury and shares the holder or holders of which shall have delivered to EBI-New Jersey a timely demand for appraisal and shall not have voted in favor of the merger) shall thereupon cease to entitle its holder to any right or interest as a shareholder of EBI-New Jersey and shall be changed and converted, without the surrender of stock certificates or any other action, into 2,976 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of EBI-Delaware, and each share of the common stock of EBI-New Jersey held in treasury shall be cancelled and retired, all rights in respect thereof shall cease, and the capital applicable to such shares shall be cancelled. After the Effective Date, the holders of certificates representing issued shares of EBI-New Jersey common stock shall have exactly the same rights as if such certificates had been issued by EBI-Delaware, and each such holder may (but shall not be required to) surrender such certificate to EBI-Delaware and shall be entitled to receive in exchange a


certificate or certificates representing shares of EBI-Delaware common stock; provided, however, that EBI-Delaware shall be entitled to the protection of, and to rely upon, the stock records of EBI-New Jersey as though the same were its own records, and such records shall be deemed to be the records of EBI-Delaware for all corporate purposes.

§3. Preservation of Charter, etc. The certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of EBI-Delaware as in effect on the Effective Date shall be and continue to be the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be altered, amended or repealed solely by reason of the merger. The directors and officers of EBI-New Jersey in office on said date shall continue in office as, and be and constitute, the directors and officers of EBI-Delaware as provided in the certificate of incorporation and by-laws.

§4. Assumption of Rights, etc. On the Effective Date, EBI-Delaware shall succeed to and possess all of the rights, privileges, powers and franchises, whether public or private, and all of the assets and property, whether real or personal or mixed, and all debts due on whatever account, and all claims, demands and choses in action, of whatever kind or description, of EBI; and all interests of or belonging or due to EBI shall thereupon be deemed to be transferred to and vested in EBI-Delaware without any further act or deed, and no title to any real estate or interest therein vested in either of the Constituent Corporations shall revert or be in any way impaired solely by reason of the merger.


§5. Assumption of Duties, etc. On the Effective Date, EBI-Delaware shall assume all of the then outstanding debts, obligations, liabilities and duties of EBI-New Jersey, which thereupon shall be the responsibility and liability of EBI-Delaware and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if originally incurred or contracted by it. Thereafter any action or proceeding (whether civil, criminal or administrative) pending by or against either of the Constituent Corporations may be prosecuted against EBI-New Jersey or EBI-Delaware, as the case may be, as if the merger contemplated herein had not taken place, or EBI-Delaware may be substituted in such action or proceeding in the place and stead of EBI-New Jersey. No right of any creditor of either Constituent Corporation and no lien upon the property of either of them shall be limited, modified or impaired by the merger contemplated herein.

§6. Waiver. Any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement (a) may be waived at any time by whichever of the Constituent Corporations is (or the stockholders of which are) entitled to the benefit thereof by resolution of the board of directors of said corporation or (b) may be amended or modified, in whole or in part, by a writing authorized by the respective boards of directors of the Constituent Corporations and signed by each of said Corporations. Anything

§7. Further Documents. Prior to and from and after the Effective Date, the Constituent Corporations shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the merger. If at any time thereafter Date EBI-Delaware shall determine that any additional assignments, conveyances or other documents or acts are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record in EBI-Delaware full title to any property or rights of either of the Constituent Corporations, or otherwise to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of the Constituent Corporations shall execute and deliver all proper documents, and do all things necessary or appropriate to vest, perfect or confirm title to such property or rights in EBI-Delaware and otherwise to give effect hereto.

§8. Submission to Jurisdiction, etc. EBI-Delaware acknowledges that it may be served with process in New Jersey in any proceeding for the enforcement of any obligation of


EBI-New Jersey or of the rights of any dissenting shareholder of EBI-New Jersey, and EBI-Delaware hereby irrevocably appoints the Secretary of State of New Jersey as its agent to accept service of process in any such proceeding. EBI-Delaware hereby agrees that it will promptly pay to dissenting shareholders of EBI-New Jersey, if any, the amount, if any, to which they shall be entitled pursuant to the laws of New Jersey.
