ARTICLE IV

PLAN OF EXCHANGE

 

Section 4.01 The Exchange. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, each of the Shareholders, shall assign, transfer and deliver, free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, restrictions or known claims of any kind, nature, or description, the number of shares of the Company set forth on Schedule 4.01 attached hereto, constituting all of the shares of the Company held by such Shareholder and, in the aggregate, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.  In exchange for the transfer of such securities by the Shareholders,  Dionics shall issue to the Shareholders, their affiliates or assigns, a total of 20,000,000 shares of Dionics common stock and 50,000 shares of Dionics preferred stock, each share of preferred stock being convertible into 9,345 shares of Dionics common stock or into such other number of shares of the Dionics common stock so that the Shareholders will upon conversion of the Dionics preferred stock, together with the shares of common stock to be delivered pursuant hereto, hold 95.0% of the total shares of common stock of Dionics to be outstanding upon consummation of the exchange contemplated hereby (the “Shareholder Percentage Ownership”), and having the rights and preferences in the Certificate of Designation to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 7.06 hereof.  At the Closing Date, each of the Shareholders shall, on surrender of their certificate or certificates representing his Company Shares to Dionics or its registrar or transfer agent, be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates evidencing his proportionate interest in the Exchange Shares as set forth in Schedule 4.01 hereto. The Shareholders acknowledge that the distribution of Dionics’s shares among them is not proportional to their holdings in the Company, but has been determined by agreement among them and that those who are receiving more than their proportionate share are compensating those who are receiving less than their proportionate share.

 

Section 4.02.  Adjustment in the Number of Shares.   (a) Notwithstanding Section 4.01, if the Net Income of the Company is less than $10,000,000 USD for the year ended December 31, 2011, then the number of Exchange Shares to be issued to the Shareholders shall be reduced to such number of Exchange Shares which reduces the Shareholder Percentage Ownership by one (1.0%) percent for every $1,000,000 (or portion thereof) by which the Net Income is less than $10,000,000 (referred to as the “Shortfall”).  For example, if the Shortfall is $1,000,000, the Shareholders shall receive such number of Exchange Shares which equals a Shareholder Percentage Ownership of 94.0% instead of 95.0% as provided for in Section 4.01.


(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Net Income” shall mean the income from operations after income taxes, before taking into account any extraordinary events, of the Company for



13




the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, in accordance with the methods used to determine the Company’s  net income as reflected in the Financial Statements referenced in Section 1.04.

Such Closing shall take place at a mutually agreeable time and place, and be conditioned upon all of the conditions of the Exchange being met.

 

Section 4.04 Closing Events.  At the Closing, Dionics, the Company and the Shareholders shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver (or shall ensure to be executed, acknowledged, and delivered), any and all certificates, financial statements, schedules, agreements, resolutions, rulings or other instruments required by this Agreement to be so delivered at or prior to the Closing, together with such other items as may be reasonably requested by the parties hereto and their respective legal counsel in order to effectuate or evidence the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

Section 4.05 Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by the Board of Directors of the Company or Dionics only in the event that the Company or Dionics, as the case may be, does not meet the conditions precedent set forth in Articles VI and VII.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this section, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, and no obligation, right or liability shall arise hereunder.

(b)

by either the Company or Dionics if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before such date which is ninety (90) days from the date of the execution of this Agreement (unless the failure to consummate the transactions by such date shall be due to the action or failure to act of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement which, in the case of the Company would include the failure of any Shareholder);

by Dionics if the Company shall have failed to provide the loan provided for in Section 5.11 hereof within fourteen (14) days of the signing of this Agreement, which breach is not cured within three (3) business days thereafter;


(d)

by Dionics if: (i) the Company or a Shareholder shall have failed to timely comply in any material respect with any of the other covenants, conditions, terms or agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with or performed by it, which breach is not cured within ten (10) days if capable of cure; or (ii) any representations and warranties of the Company or the Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall have been materially false when made or on and as of the Closing Date; or

Section 8.03  Indemnification


(a)

The Company and each Shareholder shall indemnify and hold Dionics harmless, and shall reimburse Dionics for, any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense, including, but not limited to, reasonable cost of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Damages”), arising from or in connection with: (i) any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of the Company and Shareholders contained herein or in any certificate delivered by the Company or a Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, or any actions, omissions or states of facts inconsistent with any such representation or warranty; or (ii) any failure by the Company or any Shareholder to perform or comply with any provision of this Agreement.  

(b)

Dionics shall indemnify and hold the Shareholders harmless, and shall reimburse the Shareholders for any Damages arising from: (i) any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of Dionics in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Dionics pursuant to this Agreement, or any actions, omissions or states of facts inconsistent with any such representation or warranty; or (ii) any failure by Dionics to perform or comply with any provision of this Agreement.


Section 8.4  Procedure for Indemnification.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent the defense of such action by the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby.  In case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to



19




participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonable satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such section for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation, If an indemnifying party assume the defense of such an action: (a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonable withheld) unless: (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person which is not fully remedied by the payment referred to in clause; (ii) no adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party; and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; (b) the indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be reasonably withheld); and (c) the indemnified party will reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of such action.  If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any action and it does not, within fifteen days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall be bound by any determination made in such action or any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the indemnified party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determined in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an action may materially and adversely affect it or its affiliated other than as a result of monetary damages, such indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such action, but the indemnifying party shall not be bound by any determination of an action so defended or any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
