AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
 
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of March 9, 2012, by and among Oryon Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Eaglecrest Resources, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), Oryon Merger Sub, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and OryonTechnologies, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Company”).  Certain other capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A attached hereto.
 
RECITALS
 
WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors and Board of Managers and of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company believe it is in the best interest of each company and their respective stockholders and members to consummate the business combination transaction provided for herein in which the Company would merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”);
 
WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors and Board of Managers of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company have approved this Agreement and the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) and the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”), and their respective charter documents; and
 
WHEREAS, each of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the consummation thereof.
 
AGREEMENT
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE 1
THE MERGER
 
1.1 The Merger
 
 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the TBOC and the NRS, the Company shall be merged with and into Merger Sub at the Effective Time of the Merger (as defined in Section 1.3). Following the Merger, the separate limited liability company existence of the Company shall cease, and Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving limited liability company entity (the “Surviving Entity”) and shall succeed to and assume all the rights, properties, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all franchise taxes and other fees due and payable by the Company) in accordance with the TBOC.  In consideration of the Company’s entrance into the Merger, Parent shall issue 16,502,121 shares (the “Shares”) of Parent’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Parent Common Stock”) in such amounts and to the members of the Company (“Company Members”) as set forth on the Merger Consideration Certificate.  The number of shares to be issued at Closing do not include incentive shares previously issued to Tom Schaeffer and assume no conversion of Series C Notes or exercise of warrants or options prior to the Closing.  Within seven (7) business days of Closing (as defined below), Parent shall issue the Shares to the Company Members by delivering or causing to be delivered share certificates registered in the name of the Company Members, or their nominees, evidencing the Shares (the “Share Certificates”), in such amounts attributable to the Company Members as set forth on the Merger Consideration Certificate.

       1.2   Closing
 
  The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Greenberg Traurig LLP located at 1201 K Street, Suite 1100, Sacramento, CA 95814 at the date and time on or before thirty (30) days which the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 9 of this Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived by the appropriate party or at such time as the parties hereto agree.  The date on which the Closing actually occurs and the transactions contemplated hereby become effective is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”  At the time of the Closing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall deliver the certificates and other documents and instruments required to be delivered hereunder.
 
1.3 Effective Time of the Merger
 
 
  At the Closing, the parties hereto shall (a) cause a certificate of merger substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Texas Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas, as provided in Section 1.002(55)(B) of the TBOC, and (b) take all such other and further actions as may be required by the TBOC or other applicable Law to make the Merger effective.  The Merger shall become effective as of the date and time of the filing of the Texas Certificate of Merger.  The date and time of such effectiveness are referred to herein as the “Effective Time.”
 
1.4 Effects of the Merger
 
  Subject to the foregoing, the effects of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the TBOC.
 
1.5 Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement of the Surviving Entity

The name of the Company shall be the name of the Surviving Entity.
 
1.6 Managers and Officers
 
  The managers of the Company, immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall resign as of the Effective Time and Parent shall continue as the sole managing Member of the Surviving Entity.  The officers of the Surviving Entity, as of the Effective Time, shall be the officers of the Surviving Entity appointed on Schedule 6.5 to this Agreement who shall serve until their successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Entity’s Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement.  The approval of this Agreement by the members of the Company shall constitute the consent of such members to the appointment, as of the Effective Time, of the directors and officers of Parent and the officers of the Surviving Entity listed on Schedule 6.5.
 
ARTICLE 2
 
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE UNITS
OF COMPANY AND MERGER SUB
 
2.1 Effect on Units
 
  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:
 
(a) Units of Merger Sub.  Each issued and outstanding unit of Merger Sub shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, be converted into one (1) unit of the Company’s Common Membership Units (“Company Units”).  Such newly issued units shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding membership units of the Surviving Entity.
 
 
2
 
 

(b) Conversion of the Company Units.  Subject to other provisions of this Article 2:
 
(i) Each issued and outstanding Company Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time (individually a “Unit”), other than (i) Company Units held by the Company and (ii) Company Units held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Subsidiary or parent of Parent or Merger Sub, if any, shall, by virtue of the Merger, be converted automatically into the right to receive eight (8) shares of Parent Common Stock and a Contingent Share Right upon surrender of the Company Units (the “Merger Consideration”).  The Merger Consideration shall be distributed by the Parent in accordance with Section 1.1.
 
(ii) The issued and outstanding Company Units on the Closing Date and the holders shall be set forth on a Merger Consideration certificate to be delivered by the Company to the Parent at Closing (the “Merger Consideration Certificate”).  Parent and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to rely on the Merger Consideration Certificate in connection with issuance of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.5.
 
(iii) At the Effective Time, all such Company Units shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate or document representing any such Company Units shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, upon the surrender of any such certificate or document, the Merger Consideration to be issued in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such certificate or document.
 
(iv) At the Effective Time, each Company Unit held prior to the Effective Time by the Company as treasury units or held by Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary or parent of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be canceled, retired and cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered with respect thereto.
 
2.2 Conversion of Notes; Contingent Shares.
 
(a) Company Convertible Debt.  In connection with the Merger, the Company agrees to solicit the consent of its Series C convertible promissory note holders (each a “Series C Holder”) to a modification of the Company’s Series C convertible promissory notes (“Series C Notes”) pursuant to the terms of a Group Modification Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) to provide that each Series C Holder may elect to convert the amount of outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest under its Series C Notes into shares of Parent Common Stock on or after the Closing and that upon receipt by the Company of the full $2 million of proceeds from the Financing (as defined in Section 6.8) within nine (9) months of the Closing Date, all of the Series C Notes will automatically be converted into shares of Parent Common Stock as set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto.  The Modification Agreement would provide that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Notes shall be an amount equal to eight (8) shares of Parent Common Stock multiplied by one dollar ($1.00) divided by the current conversion price for the applicable series of Series C Notes as follows:
 
Series C-1 Notes:                                ($1.00 / 0.5) x 8 = 16 shares of Parent Common Stock
Series C-2 Notes:                                ($1.00 / 1.5) x 8 = 5.33 shares of Parent Common Stock
Series C-3 Notes:                                ($1.00 / 1.2) x 8 = 6.67 shares of Parent Common Stock
 
It is expressly agreed and understood that approval of the Modification Agreement by the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Series C Notes is a condition to Closing the Merger.

 
3

 

At or prior to Closing, the Company shall notify and provide Parent with all necessary information regarding the Series C Note holders who approve the Modification Agreement.
 
(b) Contingent Shares of Parent Common Stock.  As a component of the Merger Consideration, Company Members will receive and Series C Holders will receive as a conversion right, a Contingent Share Right to be issued additional shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Contingent Shares”) in the event that less than $2 million is received by Parent under the Financing during the period commencing on the Closing and ending nine (9) months after the Closing.  The aggregate number of Contingent Shares to be issued to the parties entitled to receive Contingent Shares shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit F attached hereto.
 
2.3 Warrants and Options.
 
(a) In connection with the Merger, the Company agrees to solicit the consent of the holders of outstanding warrants and options issued by the Company to exchange such warrants and options effective as of the Closing, whereby each outstanding warrant to purchase a Company Unit shall be exchanged for a warrant to purchase eight (8) shares of Parent Common Stock in the form of Exhibit B-1 attached hereto (each, a “Series C Warrant”), and each outstanding option to purchase a Company Unit shall be exchanged for an option to purchase eight (8) shares of Parent Common Stock (each a “Parent Option”) under Parent’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.  The Series C Warrants and the Parent Options shall have the exercise prices set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto.  In addition, upon the exercise of a warrant or option, a holder of warrants or options shall be entitled to receive an adjustment for the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrant or option to give effect to the issuance of any Contingent Shares to the extent that such holder would have been entitled to receive Contingent Shares if such warrant or option had been exercised to the same extent immediately before the Merger.  It is expressly agreed and understood that receipt of consent from holders of outstanding options issued by the Company is not a condition to Closing the Merger.  At or prior to Closing, the Company shall notify and provide Parent with all necessary information of those holders of outstanding warrants and options issued by the Company who consent to receive Series C Warrants and Parent Options under the terms set forth herein.
 
(b) Subject to Section 2.3(a), at the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase Company Units immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive, upon exercise of such warrant, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that the holder of such warrant would have received if such warrant was exercised to the same extent immediately prior to the Closing.
 
(c) Subject to Section 2.3(a), at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Company Units immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive, upon exercise of such option, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that the holder of such option would have received if such option was exercised to the same extent immediately prior to the Closing.
 
2.4 Convertible Debt of the Company
 
Upon election by a Series C Holder to convert its Series C Note at Closing, the entire outstanding principal balance of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, such issued and outstanding Series C Note, shall be automatically converted into Company Units in accordance with the terms of such Series C Note, and then such Company Units will be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration as described in Section 2.1(b)(i).

 
4

 
 
    2.5 Issuance; Reservation of Parent Common Stock.
(a) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall distribute the Merger Consideration to holders of Common Units by issuance of certificates in accordance with the Merger Consideration Certificate.
 
(b) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be issued to a Person other than the registered holder of the Company Units represented by the certificates or documents surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be a condition to such issuance that the certificates or documents so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such issuance shall pay to the Parent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such issuance to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Units or establish to the satisfaction of the Parent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
 
(c) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall reserve an amount of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon (i) the exercise of the Series C Warrants and Parent Options, (ii) the conversion of Series C Notes, and (iii) the Contingent Shares.
 
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of Company Units for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.
 
2.6 Additional Actions
 
If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Entity its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or Assets of Merger Sub or the Company or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Surviving Entity shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of Merger Sub and the Company, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of Merger Sub or the Company, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in, to and under such rights, properties or Assets in the Surviving Entity or otherwise carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

  Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is, or has received any notice or has any Knowledge that any other party is, in Material Contract Default under any Parent Material Contract; and there has not occurred any event that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute such a Material Contract Default.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Parent Material Contract” means any Contract that is effective as of the Closing Date to which the Parent or Merger Sub is a party (i) with expected receipts or expenditures in excess of $5,000, (ii) requiring the Parent or Merger Sub to indemnify any person, (iii) granting exclusive rights to any party, or (iv) evidencing indebtedness for borrowed or loaned money in excess of $5,000, including guarantees of such indebtedness.  Merger Sub has no accounts payable.
 
4.14 Accounts Receivable
 
  All of the accounts receivable of Parent that are reflected in the Parent SEC Documents or the accounting records of Parent as of the Closing (collectively, the “Parent Accounts Receivable”) represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed in the ordinary course of business and are not subject to any defenses, counterclaims, or rights of set off other than those arising in the ordinary course of business and for which adequate reserves have been established.  The Parent Accounts Receivable are fully collectible to the
 

 
20

 

extent not reserved for on the balance sheet on which they are shown.  Merger Sub has no accounts receivable.
 
4.15 Properties
 
  Each of Parent and Merger Sub has valid land use rights for all real property that is material to its business and good, clear and marketable title to all the tangible properties and tangible Assets reflected in the latest balance sheet as being owned by Parent or Merger Sub or acquired after the date thereof which are, individually or in the aggregate, material to Parent’s business (except properties sold or otherwise disposed of since the date thereof in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of all Material Liens, encumbrances, claims, security interest, options and restrictions of any nature whatsoever.  Any real property and facilities held under lease by Parent or Merger Sub are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which each of Parent and Merger Sub is in compliance, except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

  Each of Parent and Merger Sub owns or has valid rights to use the Intellectual Property (including, without limitation, the source codes thereto) that are used, held for use or necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted.  All of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s licenses to use Software programs are current and have been paid for the appropriate number of users.  To the Knowledge of each of Parent and Merger Sub, none of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s Intellectual Property or Parent’s or Merger Sub’s License Agreements infringe upon the rights of any third party that may give rise to a cause of action or claim against Parent or Merger Sub or each of its successors.  The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not adversely affect the right of Parent or Merger Sub to own or use any Intellectual Property owned, used or held for use by it.
 
4.17 Board Determination
 
  The Board of Directors and Board of Managers of each of Parent and Merger Sub, respectively, have unanimously determined that the terms of the Merger are fair to and in the best interests of Parent and Merger Sub and each of its stockholders and members, respectively.

ARTICLE 8
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
8.1 Indemnification of Parent and Merger Sub.
 
(a) Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 8, the Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and Merger Sub and their respective officers, directors, managers, stockholders, members, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, judgments, liabilities, demands, charges, suits, penalties, costs or expenses, including court costs and attorneys’ fees (“Claims and Liabilities”) with respect to or arising from (i) the breach of any warranty or any inaccuracy of any representation made by the Company in this Agreement or (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement.
 
(b) In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 8.1(a) above, the Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and Merger Sub and their respective officers, directors, managers, stockholders, members, employees and agents against any and all Claims and Liabilities with respect to or arising from any claims for any right to receive Merger Consideration made by any Person who is not a holder of Company Units at the Effective Time or is a holder of Company Units and claiming a right to Merger Consideration inconsistent with this Agreement.
 
8.2 Indemnification of the Company
 
(a) Parent shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its officers, directors, managers, shareholders, members, employees and agents from and against any and all Claims and Liabilities with respect to or arising from (i) breach of any warranty or any inaccuracy of any representation made by Parent or Merger Sub or (ii) breach of any covenant or agreement made by Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement.
 
 
28

 

(b) In the event that the representation of Parent pursuant to Section 4.3 is incorrect and at the Closing either (i) Parent has more than 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding; (ii) shares of Parent Common Stock are issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any warrants, options, convertible notes or otherwise; (iii) Parent does not own one hundred percent (100%) of all equity interests of Merger Sub; or (iv) any interest in Merger Sub is issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any warrants, options, convertible notes or otherwise, then Parent shall issue additional shares of Parent Common Stock to (i) the Company Members who received the Merger Consideration; (ii) holders of the Company’s Series C Notes; (iii) holders of the Company’s C Warrants; and (iv) holders of the Company’s options (collectively, the “Company Holders”) to adjust the holdings of the Company Holders to the aggregate percentage ownership of Parent (and indirect ownership percentage of the Surviving Entity) that the Company Holders would have received if the representation of Parent pursuant to Section 4.3 had been correct.
 
8.3 Claims Procedure
 
  Promptly after the receipt by any indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim with respect thereto is or may be made against any indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to this Article 8, give such Indemnifying Party written notice of the commencement of such action or proceeding and give such Indemnifying Party a copy of such claim and/or process and all legal pleadings in connection therewith.  The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Article 8, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and Materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party.  Such Indemnifying Party shall have, upon request within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, but not in any event after the settlement or compromise of such claim, the right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee determines that there is a reasonable probability that a claim may Materially and adversely affect it, other than solely as a result of money payments required to be reimbursed in full by such Indemnifying Party under this Article 8 or if a conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such claim or suit; and, provided, further, that such settlement or compromise shall not, unless consented to in writing by such Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, be conclusive as to the liability of such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee.  In any event, the Indemnitee, such Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall cooperate in the defense against, or compromise of, any such asserted liability, and in cases where the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of such asserted liability at the Indemnitee’s own expense.  In the event that such Indemnifying Party shall decline to participate in or assume the defense of such action, prior to paying or settling any claim against which such Indemnifying Party is, or may be, obligated under this Article 8 to indemnify an Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall first supply such Indemnifying Party with a copy of a final court judgment or decree holding the Indemnitee liable on such claim or, failing such judgment or decree, the terms and conditions of the settlement or compromise of such claim.  An Indemnitee’s failure to supply such final court judgment or decree or the terms and conditions of a settlement or compromise to such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Article 8, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and Materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party is defending the claim as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle the claim only with the consent of the Indemnitee.  In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee for any Claims or Liabilities arising as a result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Indemnitee.
 
8.4 Exclusive Remedy
 
  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, its sole and exclusive monetary remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 8, except that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any injunctive or other equitable remedies or any tort claims of, or causes of action arising from, intentionally fraudulent misrepresentation, willful breach or deceit. The parties obligations under this Article 8 shall terminate twelve (12) months from the Closing Date.

The Initial Holder was the holder of a C Warrant issued to the Initial Holder by OryonTechnologies, LLC (the “Original C Warrant”).  Pursuant to the terms of a Group Modification Agreement dated ___________, 2012 (the “Group Modification Agreement”), the holders of the Original C Warrants approved the exchange of the Original C Warrants for Series C Warrants of the Company in connection with that Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of March 9, 2012 by and among the Company, Oryon Merger Sub, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and OryonTechnologies, LLC, a Texas limited liability company.  This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Group Modification Agreement and the Merger Agreement.
 
1.           Exercise.
 
(a)           Manner of Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.  The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, or wire transfer in immediately available funds, or where permitted by law and provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, through a “same day sale” commitment from the Registered Holder and a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority of Securities Dealers (a “FINRA Dealer”), whereby the Registered Holder irrevocably elects to exercise this Warrant and to sell a portion of the Warrant Shares so purchased to pay for the Purchase Price directly to the Company.
 

 
B-1-2

 

(b)           Effective Time of Exercise.  Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1(a) above.  At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.
 
(c)           Delivery to Holder.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within five (5) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
 
(i)           a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Shares to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and
 
(ii)           in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(a) above.
 
2.           Adjustments.
 
(a)           Stock Splits, Dividends and Contingent Shares.  If outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock or Contingent Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) are issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement, then the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend or upon issuance of any Contingent Shares shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend or upon issuance of any Contingent Shares be proportionately reduced.  If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, then the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
 
(b)           Reclassification, Etc.  In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Registered Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 2; and in each such case, the terms of this Section 2 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
 
(c)           Adjustment Certificate.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the Warrant Shares or the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Purchase Price after such adjustment, and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.
 
3.           Transfers.
 
(a)           Unregistered Security.  This Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold, pledged, distributed, offered for sale, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration or qualification is not required.

ORYON HOLDINGS, INC.
A NEVADA CORPORATION

SERIES A WARRANT
 
Oryon Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that [___] (the “Initial Holder”), or its registered assigns (the Initial Holder or such registered assigns shall be referred to as the “Registered Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company at any time on or after the Exercise Date and on or before the Expiration Date, up to [___] shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $0.75 per share (the “Purchase Price”).  The number of shares of Warrant Shares and the Purchase Price may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.  As used herein, “Exercise Date” means any date after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Date on which the Registered Holder elects by written notice to the Company to exercise this Warrant.
 
1.           Exercise.
 
(a)           Manner of Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.  The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, or wire transfer in immediately available funds, or where permitted by law and provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, through a “same day sale” commitment from the Registered Holder and a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority of Securities Dealers (a “FINRA Dealer”), whereby the Registered Holder irrevocably elects to exercise this Warrant and to sell a portion of the Warrant Shares so purchased to pay for the Purchase Price directly to the Company.
 
(b)           Effective Time of Exercise.  Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1(a) above.  At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.
 
(c)           Delivery to Holder.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within five (5) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
 

 
B-2-2

 

                 (i)           a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Shares to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and
 
(ii)           in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(a) above.
 
2.           Adjustments.
 
(a)           Stock Splits and Dividends.  If outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, then the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced.  If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, then the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
 
(b)           Reclassification, Etc.  In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Registered Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 2; and in each such case, the terms of this Section 2 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
 
(c)           Adjustment Certificate.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the Warrant Shares or the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Purchase Price after such adjustment, and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.
 
3.           Transfers.
 
(a)           Unregistered Security.  This Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold, pledged, distributed, offered for sale, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration or qualification is not required.  Each certificate or other instrument for Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially to the foregoing effect.
 
(b)           Transferability.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3(a) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of the Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principal office of the Company.
 
(c)           Warrant Register.  The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Registered Holders of this Warrant.  Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Registered Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be required to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Registered Holder may change such Registered Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.
 

 
B-2-3

 
 
4.           No Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will (subject to Section 11 below) at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Registered Holder against impairment.
 
5.           Termination.  This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon exercise hereof) shall terminate [five (5)] years from the date of issuance of this Warrant (the “Expiration Date”).
 
6.           Notices of Certain Transactions.  In the event:
 
(a)           the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or
 
(b)           of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or
 
(c)           of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
 
then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Registered Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right or (ii) the effective date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Warrant Shares shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Warrant Shares (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.  Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.
 
7.           Reservation of Stock.  The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, solely for the issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants.  All of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, subject to no lien or other encumbrance other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities laws and restrictions imposed by Section 3 hereof.
 
8.           Exchange of Warrants.  Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder of any Warrant or Warrants, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Holder, at the Company’s expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such Registered Holder or as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.
 
9.           Replacement of Warrants.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
 

 
B-2-4

 
 
10.           Notices.  Any notice required or permitted by this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered personally or by courier, overnight delivery service or confirmed facsimile, or forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the regular mail as certified or registered mail (airmail if sent internationally) with postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to the Registered Holder, to the address of the Registered Holder most recently furnished in writing to the Company and (b) if to the Company, to the address set forth below or subsequently modified by written notice to the Registered Holder.
 
11.           No Rights as Stockholder.  Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company.
 
12.           Representations of Registered Holder.  By acceptance of this Warrant, the Registered Holder hereby represents and acknowledges to the Company that:

CALCULATION OF CONTINGENT SHARES
 
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement and Plan of Merger among Oryon Holdings, Inc., Oryon Merger Sub, LLC and OryonTechnologies, LLC dated March 9, 2012.  The right to receive Contingent Shares will be issued to the Company Members pursuant to the Merger, to the Series C Holders pursuant to a certain Group Modification Agreement, to Tom Schaeffer with respect to shares of common stock held by him and to any purchasers of equity or convertible securities during the period nine (9) months from the Closing Date (“Financing Period”), other than purchasers of securities pursuant to the Financing.  All such holders of the right to receive Contingent Shares are collectively referred to as the “Rights Holders.”  The aggregate number of Contingent Shares issuable to the Rights Holders will be determined as follows:
 
 
A =
The total percentage ownership of Parent to be held by the stockholders of Parent (other than Tom Schaeffer) immediately prior to the Closing and the investors who purchased Parent Common Stock and warrants under the Financing (collectively, the “Non-Oryon Stockholders”) if the full $2 million Financing is not fully funded during the Financing Period.
 
 
B =
The amount of the proceeds of the Financing received by the Company during the Financing Period.
 
 
C =
The total number of outstanding Parent Common Stock plus the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Notes at the end of the Financing Period (excluding shares reserved for issuance or exercise of options or warrants).
 
 
D =
The aggregate number of Contingent Shares to be issued.
 
 
E =
Factor = (0.000000125).
 
 
F =
Total number of shares issued to the Non-Oryon Stockholders as of the end of the Financing Period.
 
 
G =
The total number of Parent Common Stock to be owned by the Rights Holders assuming full conversion of all Series C Notes before giving effect to issuance of any Contingent Shares.
 
 
H =
The total number of Parent Common Stock that would be owned by the Rights Holders assuming full conversion of all Series C Notes after giving effect to the issuance of Contingent Shares.
 
A = E times B; C = F divided by A; H = C minus F; D = H minus G
 

 
F-1

 

Example:
 
Assume that the total amount of proceeds from the Financing Equals $500,000.  The total shares owned by the investors would be 1,000,000 and the total shares owned by the original Parent stockholders would be 13,000,000 for a total owned by Non-Oryon Stockholders of 14,000,000.  Then:
 
F (14,000,000) / (E(0.000000125) x B ($500,000)) = C (224,000,000)
 
Total shares after issuance of Conversion Shares
 
C (224,000,000) – F (14,000,000) = H (210,000,000)
 
Total shares of the Company that would be owned by the Rights Holders
 
H (210,000,000) – G (44,149,800) = D (165,850,200)
 
Aggregate number of Contingent Shares to be issued to the Rights Holders

FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
 
(PARENT DIRECTORS)
 

 
G-1-1

 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
 
This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of ____________, 2012, is made by and between Oryon Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned, who is either a director or an officer of the Company (the “Indemnitee”), with this Agreement to be deemed effective as of the date that the Indemnitee first became a director or an officer of the Company.
 
RECITALS
 
A.           The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are reluctant to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability insurance and indemnification, due to the exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to such corporations, and due to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to the compensation of such directors and officers.
 
B.           The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to serve as officers or directors of the Company, it is necessary for the Company contractually to indemnify certain of such persons and to assume for itself maximum liability for expenses and damages in connection with claims against such persons in connection with their service to the Company.
 
C.           Section 7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, under which the Company is organized (“Section 7502”), empowers the Company to indemnify by agreement its present and former officers and directors and persons who serve, at the request of the Company, as directors or officers of other corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, joint ventures, trusts, or other enterprises and expressly provides that the indemnification provided by Section 7502 is not exclusive.
 
D.           The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or an officer of the Company free from undue concern for claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Company.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
 
1.           Definitions.
 
            1.1           Agent.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “agent” of the Company means any person who is or was a director or an officer of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; or is or was serving at the request of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company as a director or an officer of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise or an affiliate of the Company.  The term “enterprise” includes any employee benefit plan of the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates, and predecessor entities.
 
        1.2           Change in Control.  A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company, or (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve (x) a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity (other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately
 

 
G-1-2

 

after such merger or consolidation), (y) a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or (z) an agreement or agreements for the sale or disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, events otherwise constituting a Change in Control in accordance with the foregoing shall not constitute a Change in Control if such events are solicited by the Company and are approved, recommended or supported by the Board of Directors of the Company in actions taken prior to, and with respect to, such events.
 
        1.3           Company.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Company” includes, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers so that any person who is or was a director or an officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director or an officer of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
 
        1.4           Expenses.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “expenses” includes all direct and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements and other out-of-pocket costs) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, or appeal of a proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement, Section 7502 or otherwise; provided, however, that expenses shall not include any judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding.
 
        1.5           Fines.  For purposes of this Agreement, references to “fines” includes any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan.
 
        1.6           Liabilities.  For purposes of this Agreement, “liabilities” means judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with a proceeding.
 
                              1.7           Other Enterprises.  For purposes of this Agreement, “other enterprises” includes employee benefit plans.
 
        1.8           Proceeding.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “proceeding” means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.
 
                              1.9           Subsidiary.  For purposes of this Agreement, “subsidiary” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity of which more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities is owned directly or indirectly by the Company, by the Company and one or more of its subsidiaries, or by one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries.
 
                             1.10           Serving at the Request of the Company.  For purposes of this Agreement, “serving at the request of the Company” includes any service as a director or an officer of the Company that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.  Any person serving as a manager or officer of OryonTechnologies, LLC immediately prior to the merger of OryonTechnologies, LLC with and into the Company’s subsidiary, Oryon Merger Sub, LLC (the “Merger”) shall be deemed to have served in such position at the request of the Company for the purpose of being entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.  The Company hereby assumes all indemnification obligations of OryonTechnologies, LLC to Indemnitee under the regulations of OryonTechnologies, LLC in effect immediately prior to the Merger.  In no event shall the Merger be deemed to eliminate, reduce or modify in any manner adverse to Indemnitee any indemnification obligation of OryonTechnologies, LLC to such Indemnitee.
 

 
G-1-3

 
            
        2.          Agreement to Serve.  The Indemnitee agrees to serve and/or continue to serve as an agent of the Company, at the will of the Company (or under separate agreement, if such agreement exists), in the capacity the Indemnitee currently serves as an agent of the Company, faithfully and to the best of his ability, so long as he is duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the charter documents of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any contractual obligation that the Indemnitee may have assumed apart from this Agreement), and the Company and any subsidiary shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue the Indemnitee in any such position.
 
3.           Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.  The Company shall, to the extent that the Board determines it to be economically reasonable, maintain a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”), on such terms and conditions as may be approved by the Board.
 
4.           Mandatory Indemnification.  Subject to Section 9 below, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee:
 
4.1           Third-Party Actions.  If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (except an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity, against any and all expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding if (a) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful or (b) the Indemnitee, if a director or an officer of the Company, did not act or fail to act in a manner that constituted a breach of the Indemnitee’s fiduciary duties as a director or an officer or such Indemnitee’s breach of those duties did not involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law; and
 
4.2           Derivative Actions.  If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity, against any and all expenses and liabilities incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding if (a) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or (b) the Indemnitee, if a director or an officer of the Company, did not act or fail to act in a manner that constituted a breach of the Indemnitee’s fiduciary duties as a director or an officer or such Indemnitee breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law; except that no indemnification under this subsection shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after the exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Company or for amounts paid in settlement to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding was brought or another court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonable entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and
 
4.3           Exception for Amounts Covered by Insurance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) to the extent such have been paid to the Indemnitee by D&O Insurance.
 
5.           Partial Indemnification and Contribution.
 
5.1           Partial Indemnification.  If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding but is not entitled, however, to indemnification for all of the total amount thereof, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for such total amount except as to the portion thereof to which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.
 

 
G-1-4

 

5.2           Contribution.  If the Indemnitee is not entitled to the indemnification provided in Section 4 for any reason other than the statutory limitations set forth in the Nevada Corporations Code, then in respect of proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with the Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of expenses and liabilities paid or payable by the Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (a) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such proceeding arose and (b) the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events that resulted in such expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments, fines, or settlement amounts.  The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.
 
6.           Mandatory Advancement of Expenses.
 
6.1           Advancement.  Subject to Section 9 below, the Company shall pay as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of a civil or criminal proceeding all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with defending any such proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity.  The Indemnitee hereby undertakes to promptly repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately by determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, the Nevada Revised Statutes, or otherwise.  The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following delivery of a written request therefor by the Indemnitee to the Company.
 
6.2           Exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, the Company shall not be obligated to advance any expenses to the Indemnitee arising from a lawsuit filed directly by the Company against the Indemnitee if an absolute majority of the members of the Board reasonably determines in good faith, within thirty (30) days of the Indemnitee’s request to be advanced expenses, that the facts known to them at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that the Indemnitee acted in bad faith.  If such a determination is made, the Indemnitee may have such decision reviewed in the manner set forth in Section 8.5 hereof, with all references therein to “indemnification” being deemed to refer to “advancement of expenses,” and the burden of proof shall be on the Company to demonstrate clearly and convincingly that, based on the facts known at the time, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith.  The Company may not avail itself of this Section 6.2 as to a given lawsuit if, at any time after the occurrence of the activities or omissions that are the primary focus of the lawsuit, the Company has undergone a change in control.  For this purpose, a “change in control” shall mean a given person of group of affiliated persons or groups increasing their beneficial ownership interest in the Company by at least twenty (20) percentage points without advance Board approval.
 
7.           Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures.
 
7.1           Notification.  Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of commencement of any proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof.
 
7.2           Insurance.  If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of the commencement of a proceeding pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such D&O Insurance policies.
 

 
G-1-5

 

7.3           Defense.  In the event the Company shall be obligated to advance the expenses for any proceeding against the Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), upon the delivery to the Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so.  After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that (a) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ the Indemnitee’s own counsel in any such proceeding at the Indemnitee’s expense; (b) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ the Indemnitee’s own counsel in connection with any such proceeding, at the expense of the Company, if such counsel serves in a review, observer, advice, and counseling capacity and does not otherwise materially control or participate in the defense of such proceeding; and (c) if (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.
 
8.           Determination of Right to Indemnification.
 
8.1           Success on Merits.  To the extent the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement or in the defense of any claim, issue, or matter described therein, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, or appeal of such proceeding, or such claim, issue, or matter, as the case may be.
 
8.2           Proof by Company.  In the event that Section 8.1 is inapplicable, or does not apply to the entire proceeding, the Company shall nonetheless indemnify the Indemnitee unless the Company shall prove by clear and convincing evidence to a forum listed in Section 8.4 below that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct required to entitle the Indemnitee to such indemnification.
 
8.3           Termination of Proceeding.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that a person (a) did not act in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, (b) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful, or (c) the person’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of the person’s fiduciary duties as a director or an officer or the person’s breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law.
 
8.4           Applicable Forums.  The Indemnitee shall be entitled to select the forum in which the validity of the Company’s claim under Section 8.2 hereof that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification will be heard from among the following, except that the Indemnitee can select a forum consisting of the stockholders of the Company only with the approval of the Company and, if the Indemnitee is a director or an officer at the time of such determination, the determination shall be made in accordance with (a), (b), (c) or (d) below at the election of the Company:
 
(a)           A majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the proceeding for which indemnification is being sought even though less than a quorum;
 
(b)           By a committee of directors who are not parties to the proceeding for which indemnification is being sought designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum;
 
(c)           If there are no directors who are not parties to the proceeding for which indemnification is sought, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;
 
(d)           The vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company holding the requisite voting power to approve an action at a meeting of the stockholders;
 

 
G-1-6

 

(e)           A panel of three arbitrators, one of whom is selected by the Company, another of whom is selected by the Indemnitee and the last of whom is selected by the first two arbitrators so selected; or
 
(f)           A court having jurisdiction of subject matter and the parties.
 
8.5           Submission.  As soon as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the forum has been selected pursuant to Section 8.4 above, the Company shall, at its own expense, submit to the selected forum its claim that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall act in the utmost good faith to assure the Indemnitee a complete opportunity to defend against such claim.
 
8.6           Appeals.  If the forum selected in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof is not a court, then after the final decision of such forum is rendered, the Company or the Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to a court of Nevada, the court in which the proceeding giving rise to the Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification is or was pending, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, for the purpose of appealing the decision of such forum, provided that such right is executed within sixty (60) days after the final decision of such forum is rendered.  If the forum selected in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof is a court, then the rights of the Company or the Indemnitee to appeal any decision of such court shall be governed by the applicable laws and rules governing appeals of the decision of such court.
 
8.7           Expenses for Interpretation.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 8 involving the Indemnitee and against all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any other proceeding between the Company and the Indemnitee involving the interpretation or enforcement of the rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the material claims and/or defenses of the Indemnitee in any such proceeding was frivolous or not made in good faith.
 
8.8           Effect of Change in Control.  If there has not been a Change in Control after the date of this Agreement, the determination of (i) the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification and payment of expenses under this Agreement or under the provisions of the Articles and the Bylaws; (ii) standard of conduct; and (iii) evaluation of the reasonableness of amounts claimed by Indemnitee shall be in accordance with Section 8.4 or such other body or persons as may be permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes.  If there has been a Change in Control after the date of this Agreement, such determination and evaluation shall be made by a special, independent counsel who is selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and who has not otherwise performed services for Indemnitee or the Company.
 
9.           Exceptions.  Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in the following circumstances:
 
9.1           Claims Initiated by Indemnitee.  To indemnify or advance expenses to the Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings specifically authorized by the Board or brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses arising under this Agreement, the charter documents of the Company or any subsidiary, or any statute or law or otherwise, but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board finds it to be appropriate; or
 
9.2           Unauthorized Settlements.  To indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding unless the Company consents in advance in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or
 
9.3           Securities Law Actions.  To indemnify the Indemnitee on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against the Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local statutory law; or
 

 
G-1-7

 

9.4           Unlawful Indemnification.  To indemnify the Indemnitee if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the mater shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful.  In this respect, the Company and the Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication.
 
10.           Non-Exclusivity.  The provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights that the Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, the vote of the Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements, or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity and to action in another capacity while occupying the Indemnitee’s position as an agent of the Company, and the Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after the Indemnitee has ceased acting as an agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of the Indemnitee.
 
11.           General Provisions.
 
11.1           Interpretation of Agreement.  It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to the Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law, except as expressly limited herein.

1.3           Company.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Company” includes, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers so that any person who is or was a director or an officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director or an officer of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
 
1.4           Expenses.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “expenses” includes all direct and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements and other out-of-pocket costs) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, or appeal of a proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement, Section 7502 or otherwise; provided, however, that expenses shall not include any judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding.

1.10           Serving at the Request of the Predecessor.  For purposes of this Agreement, “serving at the request of the Predecessor” includes any service as a director, manager or an officer of the Predecessor that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, manager or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Predecessor” as referred to in this Agreement.  Any person serving as a manager or officer of the Predecessor immediately prior to the Merger shall be deemed to have served in such position at the request of the Predecessor for the purpose of being entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.  The Company hereby assumes all indemnification obligations of the Predecessor to Indemnitee under the regulations of the Predecessor in effect immediately prior to the Merger.  In no event shall the Merger be deemed to eliminate, reduce or modify in any manner adverse to Indemnitee any indemnification obligation of the Predecessor to such Indemnitee.
 
2.           Mandatory Indemnification.  Subject to Section 7 below, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee:
 

 
G-2-3

 

2.1           Third-Party Actions.  If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (except an action by or in the right of the Predecessor) by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Predecessor, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity, against any and all expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding if (a) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Predecessor and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful or (b) the Indemnitee, if a manager or an officer of the Predecessor, did not act or fail to act in a manner that constituted a breach of the Indemnitee’s fiduciary duties as a manager or an officer or such Indemnitee’s breach of those duties did not involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law; and
 
2.2           Derivative Actions.  If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the Predecessor  or the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Predecessor, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity, against any and all expenses and liabilities incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding if (a) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Predecessor or (b) the Indemnitee, if a director or an officer of the Company, did not act or fail to act in a manner that constituted a breach of the Indemnitee’s fiduciary duties as a manager or an officer or such Indemnitee breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law; except that no indemnification under this subsection shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after the exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Predecessor or for amounts paid in settlement to the Predecessor, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding was brought or another court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonable entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and
 
2.3           Exception for Amounts Covered by Insurance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) to the extent such have been paid to the Indemnitee by any insurance purchased by the Company.
 
3.           Partial Indemnification and Contribution.
 
3.1           Partial Indemnification.  If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding but is not entitled, however, to indemnification for all of the total amount thereof, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for such total amount except as to the portion thereof to which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.
 
3.2           Contribution.  If the Indemnitee is not entitled to the indemnification provided in Section 2 for any reason other than the statutory limitations set forth in the Nevada Corporations Code, then in respect of proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with the Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of expenses and liabilities paid or payable by the Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (a) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such proceeding arose and (b) the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events that resulted in such expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments, fines, or settlement amounts.  The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.
 
4.           Mandatory Advancement of Expenses.
 

 
G-2-4

 

4.1           Advancement.  Subject to Section 7 below, the Company shall pay as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of a civil or criminal proceeding all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with defending any such proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Predecessor or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in any such capacity.  The Indemnitee hereby undertakes to promptly repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately by determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, the Nevada Revised Statutes, or otherwise.  The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following delivery of a written request therefor by the Indemnitee to the Company.
 
4.2           Exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the Company shall not be obligated to advance any expenses to the Indemnitee arising from a lawsuit filed directly by the Company against the Indemnitee if an absolute majority of the members of the Board reasonably determines in good faith, within thirty (30) days of the Indemnitee’s request to be advanced expenses, that the facts known to them at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that the Indemnitee acted in bad faith.  If such a determination is made, the Indemnitee may have such decision reviewed in the manner set forth in Section 6.5 hereof, with all references therein to “indemnification” being deemed to refer to “advancement of expenses,” and the burden of proof shall be on the Company to demonstrate clearly and convincingly that, based on the facts known at the time, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith.  The Company may not avail itself of this Section 4.2 as to a given lawsuit if, at any time after the occurrence of the activities or omissions that are the primary focus of the lawsuit, the Company has undergone a change in control.  For this purpose, a “change in control” shall mean a given person of group of affiliated persons or groups increasing their beneficial ownership interest in the Company by at least twenty (20) percentage points without advance Board approval.
 
5.           Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures.
 
5.1           Notification.  Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of commencement of any proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof.
 
5.2           Insurance.  If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of the commencement of a proceeding pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, the Company has insurance in effect that would cover such claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such insurance policies.
 
5.3           Defense.  In the event the Company shall be obligated to advance the expenses for any proceeding against the Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), upon the delivery to the Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so.  After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that (a) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ the Indemnitee’s own counsel in any such proceeding at the Indemnitee’s expense; (b) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ the Indemnitee’s own counsel in connection with any such proceeding, at the expense of the Company, if such counsel serves in a review, observer, advice, and counseling capacity and does not otherwise materially control or participate in the defense of such proceeding; and (c) if (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.
 
6.           Determination of Right to Indemnification.
 

 
G-2-5

 

6.1           Success on Merits.  To the extent the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 2.1 or 2.2 of this Agreement or in the defense of any claim, issue, or matter described therein, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, or appeal of such proceeding, or such claim, issue, or matter, as the case may be.
 
6.2           Proof by Company.  In the event that Section 6.1 is inapplicable, or does not apply to the entire proceeding, the Company shall nonetheless indemnify the Indemnitee unless the Company shall prove by clear and convincing evidence to a forum listed in Section 8.4 below that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct required to entitle the Indemnitee to such indemnification.
 
6.3           Termination of Proceeding.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that a person (a) did not act in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, (b) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful, or (c) the person’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of the person’s fiduciary duties as a director or an officer or the person’s breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law.
 
6.4           Applicable Forums.  The Indemnitee shall be entitled to select the forum in which the validity of the Company’s claim under Section 6.2 hereof that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification will be heard from among the following, except that the Indemnitee can select a forum consisting of the stockholders of the Company only with the approval of the Company and, if the Indemnitee is a director or an officer at the time of such determination, the determination shall be made in accordance with (a), (b), (c) or (d) below at the election of the Company:
 
(a)           A majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the proceeding for which indemnification is being sought even though less than a quorum;
 
(b)           By a committee of directors who are not parties to the proceeding for which indemnification is being sought designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum;
 
(c)           If there are no directors who are not parties to the proceeding for which indemnification is sought, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;
 
(d)           The vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company holding the requisite voting power to approve an action at a meeting of the stockholders;
 
(e)           A panel of three arbitrators, one of whom is selected by the Company, another of whom is selected by the Indemnitee and the last of whom is selected by the first two arbitrators so selected; or
 
(f)           A court having jurisdiction of subject matter and the parties.
 
6.5           Submission.  As soon as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the forum has been selected pursuant to Section 6.4 above, the Company shall, at its own expense, submit to the selected forum its claim that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall act in the utmost good faith to assure the Indemnitee a complete opportunity to defend against such claim.
 
6.6           Appeals.  If the forum selected in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof is not a court, then after the final decision of such forum is rendered, the Company or the Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to a court of Nevada, the court in which the proceeding giving rise to the Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification is or was pending, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, for the purpose of appealing the decision of such forum; provided that such right is executed within sixty (60) days after the final decision of such forum is rendered.  If the forum selected in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof is a court, then the rights of the Company or the Indemnitee to
 

 
G-2-6

 

appeal any decision of such court shall be governed by the applicable laws and rules governing appeals of the decision of such court.
 
6.7           Expenses for Interpretation.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 6 involving the Indemnitee and against all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any other proceeding between the Company and the Indemnitee involving the interpretation or enforcement of the rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the material claims and/or defenses of the Indemnitee in any such proceeding was frivolous or not made in good faith.
 
6.8           Effect of Change in Control.  If there has not been a Change in Control after the date of this Agreement, the determination of (i) the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification and payment of expenses under this Agreement or under the provisions of the Articles and the Bylaws; (ii) standard of conduct; and (iii) evaluation of the reasonableness of amounts claimed by Indemnitee shall be in accordance with Section 6.4 or such other body or persons as may be permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes.  If there has been a Change in Control after the date of this Agreement, such determination and evaluation shall be made by a special, independent counsel who is selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and who has not otherwise performed services for Indemnitee or the Company.
 
7.           Exceptions.  Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in the following circumstances:
 
7.1           Claims Initiated by Indemnitee.  To indemnify or advance expenses to the Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings specifically authorized by the Board or brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses arising under this Agreement, the charter documents of the Company or any subsidiary, or any statute or law or otherwise, but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board finds it to be appropriate; or
 
7.2           Unauthorized Settlements.  To indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding unless the Company consents in advance in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or
 
7.3           Securities Law Actions.  To indemnify the Indemnitee on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against the Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local statutory law; or
 
7.4           Unlawful Indemnification.  To indemnify the Indemnitee if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the mater shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful.  In this respect, the Company and the Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication.
 
8.           Non-Exclusivity.  The provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights that the Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, the vote of the Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements, or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity and to action in another capacity while occupying the Indemnitee’s position as an agent of the Company, and the Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after the Indemnitee has ceased acting as an agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of the Indemnitee.

Section 2.2                      Special Meetings.  Except as otherwise required by applicable law or provided in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Restated Articles”), special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by (a) the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or President of the Corporation; (b) the Board; or (c) holders of shares of the Corporation representing at least ten percent (10%) of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting.  Special meetings called by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board shall be held at such place and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, provided that the Board in its discretion may determine, and such notice shall state, that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but shall instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5; and provided, further, that if all stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting agree prior to the time that notice of the meeting is sent to the stockholders that the meeting shall be held at a different place from that determined by the Board, then the meeting shall be held at, and the notice of the meeting shall state, the place so agreed by all such stockholders.  Special meetings called by stockholders shall be held at the place determined by the Board (or in the absence of the Board’s determination, the Corporation’s principal place of business) and at such time and on such date as shall be determined by such stockholders (or, in the absence of such determination, the Board) and stated in the notice of the meeting; provided, however, that if all stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting agree prior to the time that notice of the meeting is sent to the stockholders that the meeting shall be held at a different place from that determined by the Board (or in the absence of the Board’s determination, the Corporation’s principal place of business), then the meeting shall be held at, and the notice of the meeting shall state, the place so agreed by all such stockholders.

Section 2.5                      Voting of Shares.
 
(a) Voting Lists.  The Secretary shall prepare, or shall cause the officer or agent who has charge of the share transfer records of the Corporation to prepare, at least eleven (11) days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address, the number and type of shares held by each stockholder, and the number of votes to which each stockholder is entitled if different from the number of shares held by such stockholder.  Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, during usual business hours for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to such meeting:  (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or (ii) at the registered office or principal executive office of the Corporation.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall require the Corporation to include any electronic contact information on the list.  If the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation.  If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting.  If a meeting of stockholders is to be held by means of remote communication as permitted by Section 9.5, the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for the duration of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access the list shall be provided to the stockholders with the notice of meeting.  The original share transfer records shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list required by this Section 2.5(a) or such share transfer records or to vote at any meeting of stockholders.
 
(b) Manner of Voting.  At any stockholders meeting, any stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder.  The voting by stockholders at any meeting conducted by remote communication may be effected by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 9.3).  Any electronic transmission must contain or be accompanied by information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder.  The Board, in its discretion, or the chairman of the meeting of stockholders, in such person’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

(d) Required Vote.  Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred shares of the Corporation, if any (“Preferred Shares”), voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Shares, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon and represented in person or by proxy at the meeting at which a quorum is present.  All other matters shall be determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes that were voted for or against the matter cast by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon and represented in person or by proxy at the meeting at which a quorum is present, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Restated Articles or these Bylaws a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.
 
Section 2.6                      Adjournments.  Any lawfully convened meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting or by stockholders present and entitled to vote thereat, by a majority in voting power thereof, from time to time, to reconvene at the same or some other place.  Unless the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made through the closing of the share transfer records and the stated period of closing has expired, notice need not be given of any adjourned meeting if the date, time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  At the adjourned meeting, the stockholders may transact any business which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.
 
Section 2.7                      Conduct of Meetings.  The chairman of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be the Chairman of the Board or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President (if he or she shall be a director) or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the President or if the President is not a director, such other person as shall be appointed by the Board or, in the absence of such appointment, a chairman chosen at the meeting.  The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting.  The Board may adopt such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate.  Except to the extent inconsistent with these Bylaws or such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and to adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting.  Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.  The secretary of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be the Secretary or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary so appointed to act by the chairman of the meeting.  In the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.
 
Section 2.8                      Action by Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting.  Any action required by law to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, or any action which may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, (a) shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum voting power that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote

thereon were present and voted and (b) unless consented to by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote on the action, shall be delivered to the Corporation as provided in this Section 2.8.  Every written consent signed by the holders of fewer than all the shares entitled to vote with respect to the action that is the subject of the consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent.  No written consent signed by the holders of fewer than all the shares entitled to vote with respect to the action that is the subject of the consent shall be effective to take the action that is the subject of the consent unless, within sixty (60) days after the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation, a written consent or consents signed by the holder or holders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the action that is the subject of the consent are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Nevada or the Corporation’s principal executive office or place of business or the Secretary.  If the consent is not solicited on behalf of the Corporation or the Board, delivery shall be by hand or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  Any delivery to the Corporation’s principal executive office or place of business pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be addressed to the President or Chief Executive Officer if there be one.  An electronic transmission consenting to the action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder shall be considered to be written, signed and dated for purposes hereof if such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine that such transmission was transmitted by a stockholder and the date on which such stockholder transmitted such transmission.  The date on which such electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed.  Any photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similarly reliable reproduction of a consent in writing signed by a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used if the reproduction is a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.  Prompt notice of the taking of any action by stockholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who did not consent in writing to the action.

Section 8.2                      Indemnification of Officers and Former Officers.  The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a respondent or defendant or threatened to be made a respondent or defendant, or testifies or otherwise participates, in any proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation, because such person is or was an officer of the Corporation or, while an officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a representative of another organization (hereinafter a “Covered Officer” and together with a Covered Director, a “Covered Person”), to the same extent that the Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to a director of the Corporation under the NRS, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an officer or representative and shall inure to the benefit of such officer’s or representative’s heirs, executors and administrators.
 
Section 8.3                      Right to Advancement of Expenses.  In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as the case may be, a Covered Person shall also have the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Corporation the reasonable expenses incurred in defending, testifying or otherwise participating in any such proceeding, in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”) and without any determination as to the person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that, an advancement of expenses incurred by a Covered Person in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of a written affirmation by such person of such person’s good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the NRS and a written undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall be ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter, a “final adjudication”) that the Covered Person has not met that standard or that indemnification of the Covered Person against expenses incurred by such person in connection with that proceeding is prohibited by the NRS.
 
Section 8.4                      Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit.  If a claim under Section 8.1, Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Covered Person may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim.  If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Covered Person shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit.  In (a) any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder
 

 
H-2-13

 

(but not in a suit brought by a Covered Person to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that and (b) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Covered Person has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the NRS.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, special legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances because the Covered Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the NRS, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including a determination by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, special legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Covered Person has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Covered Person, shall be a defense to such suit.  In any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VIII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
 
Section 8.5                      Indemnification of Other Persons. This Article VIII shall not limit the right of the Corporation to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Covered Persons.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation and to any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a representative of another organization to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to Covered Persons under this Article VIII and to any such further extent as may be authorized or permitted by law.
 
Section 8.6                      Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The rights provided to a Covered Person pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right that any such person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Restated Articles or these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
 
Section 8.7                      Insurance and Other Arrangements.  The Corporation may, to the extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance, create a trust fund, establish any form of self-insurance (including a contract to indemnify), secure its indemnity obligation by grant of a security interest or other lien on assets of the Corporation, establish a letter of credit guaranty or security arrangement, or establish and maintain any other arrangement (any of the foregoing hereinafter called an “arrangement”) on behalf of any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a representative of another organization against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in such a capacity or arising out of such person’s status as such a person, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability.  If the insurance or other arrangement involves self-insurance or is with a person or entity that is not regularly engaged in the business of providing insurance coverage, the insurance or arrangement may provide for payment of a liability with respect to which the Company would not have the power to indemnify the person only if the insurance or arrangement has been approved by the stockholders.
 
Section 8.8                      Stockholder Notification.  To the extent required by law, any indemnification of or advancement of expenses to a director by the Corporation shall be reported in writing to the stockholders with or before the notice or waiver of notice of the next stockholders’ meeting or with or before the next submission to stockholders of a consent to action without a meeting and, in any case, within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the date of the indemnification or advance.
 
Section 8.9                      Amendments.  Any repeal or amendment of this Article VIII by the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provision of these Bylaws inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in applicable law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

Section 8.10                      Certain Definitions.  For purposes of this Article VIII, (a) the Corporation shall be deemed to have requested a director or officer of the Corporation to serve as a representative of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by such person of his or her duties to the Corporation also imposes duties on or otherwise involves services by such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan and (b) any action taken or omitted by a such a person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such person’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is “not opposed to the best interests” of the Corporation for purposes of the NRS.  Any person serving as a manager or officer of OryonTechnologies, LLC immediately prior to the merger of OryonTechnologies, LLC with and into the Corporation’s subsidiary, Oryon Merger Sub, LLC, shall be deemed to have served in such position at the request of the Corporation and shall be included as a “Covered Person” for the purposes of this Article VIII.
 
Section 8.11                      Contract Rights.  The rights provided to Covered Persons pursuant to this Article VIII (a) shall be contract rights based upon good and valuable consideration, pursuant to which a Covered Person may bring suit as if the provisions of this Article VIII were set forth in a separate written contract between the Covered Person and the Corporation; (b) shall fully vest at the time the Covered Person first assumes such Covered Person’s position as a director or officer of the Corporation; (c) are intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the adoption of this Article VIII; (d) shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation; and (e) shall inure to the benefit of the Covered Person’s heirs, executors and administrators.
 
Section 8.12                      Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:  (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each such portion of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
 
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 9.1                      Place of Meetings.  If the place of any meeting of stockholders, the Board or committee of the Board for which notice is required under these Bylaws is not designated in the notice of such meeting, such meeting shall be held at the principal business office of the Corporation; provided, however, if the Board has, in its sole discretion, determined that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but instead shall be held by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof, then such meeting shall not be held at any place.
 
Section 9.2                      Closing Share Transfer Records and Fixing Record Dates.
 
(a)           In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, to receive a distribution by the Corporation (other than a distribution involving a purchase or redemption by the Corporation of any of its own shares) or a share dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose (other than determining stockholders entitled to consent to action by stockholders proposed to be taken without a meeting of stockholders), the Board may (i) fix, in advance, a record date for any such determination of stockholders, which will not be more than sixty (60) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be taken or (ii) close the share transfer records for a stated period of not more than sixty (60) days, which period in the case of determining stockholders entitled to notice of a meeting of stockholders shall include at least the ten (10) days immediately preceding the meeting.  In the absence of any action by the Board, the date on which a notice of meeting is mailed, or the date the Board adopts the resolution declaring such distribution or share dividend, as the case may be, will be the record date.  When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this Section 9.2, such determination will be valid for any adjournment of said meeting except where such determination has been made through the closing of share transfer books and the stated period of closing has expired.
 

 
H-2-15

 

(b)           In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may (unless a record date shall have previously been fixed or determined pursuant to Section 9.2(a) for that action) fix a record date, which record date shall not precede, and shall not be more than ten (10) days after, the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board.  If no record date has been fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is otherwise required, will be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation as and in the manner provided by Section 2.8.  If no record date has been fixed by the Board and prior action by the Board is required, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting will be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
 
Section 9.3                      Means of Giving Notice.
 
(a)           Notice to Directors.  Whenever under applicable law, the Restated Articles or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any director, such notice shall be given either (i) in writing and sent by hand delivery, through the United States mail, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next day delivery; (ii) by means of electronic transmission if consented to by the director (and if specified by the director, only by the form of electronic transmission specified by the director); or (iii) by oral notice given personally or by telephone.  A notice to a director shall be deemed given as follows:  (i) if given by hand delivery, orally, or by telephone, when actually received by the director; (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation; (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation; (iv) if sent by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to a facsimile number provided by the director for the purpose of receiving notice; (v) if sent by electronic mail, when transmitted to an electronic mail address provided by the director for the purpose of receiving notice; (vi) if by posting on an electronic network, when posted on the electronic network and a message is sent to the director at the address provided by the director for the purpose of alerting the director of a posting; or (vii) when communicated to the director by any other form of electronic transmission consented to by the director.  A director may revoke the director’s consent to notices being given by means of electronic transmission by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation.  A director’s consent to notices being given to the director by means of electronic transmission will be deemed revoked if the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices and the Secretary or other person responsible for delivering the notice on behalf of the Corporation knows that the delivery of these two electronic transmissions was unsuccessful.  The inadvertent failure to treat the unsuccessful transmissions as a revocation of the director’s consent does not invalidate a meeting or other action.  An affidavit of the Secretary or such other agent of the Corporation that notice has been given by electronic transmission is, in the absence of fraud, prima facie evidence that notice was given.
 
(b)           Notice to Stockholders.  Whenever under applicable law, the Restated Articles or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any stockholder, such notice may be given (i) in writing and either delivered personally by hand or sent through the United States mail, or (ii) by means of electronic transmission if consented to by the stockholder (and if specified by the stockholder, only by the form of electronic transmission specified by the stockholder).  A notice to a stockholder shall be deemed given as follows:  (i) if given personally by hand delivery, when actually received by the stockholder; (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing on the share transfer records of the Corporation; and (iii) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given, (A) if sent by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to a facsimile number provided by the stockholder for the purpose of receiving notice; (B) if by electronic mail, when transmitted to an electronic mail address provided by the stockholder for the purpose of receiving notice; (C) if by a posting on an electronic network, when posted on the electronic network and a message is sent to the stockholder at the address provided by the stockholder for the purpose of alerting the stockholder of a posting; and (D) when communicated to the stockholder by any other form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder.  A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent to notices being given to the stockholder by means of electronic transmission by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation.  A stockholder’s consent to notices being given by means of electronic transmission will be deemed revoked if the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices, and the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the transfer agent of the Corporation, or another person responsible for delivering notice on behalf of the Corporation knows that delivery of these two (2) electronic transmissions was unsuccessful. The inadvertent failure to treat the unsuccessful transmissions as a revocation of a stockholder’s consent does not invalidate a meeting or other action.
 

 
H-2-16

 
 
(c)           Electronic Transmission.  “Electronic transmission” means a form of communication that:  (a) does not directly involve the physical transmission of paper; (b) creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by the recipient; and (c) may be directly reproduced in paper form by the recipient through an automated process.
 
Section 9.4                      Waiver of Notice.  Whenever any notice is required to be given under applicable law, the Restated Articles or these Bylaws, a written waiver of such notice signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.  The business to be transacted at a regular or special meeting of stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors or the purpose of a meeting is not required to be specified in a written waiver of notice or a waiver by electronic transmission.  All such waivers shall be kept with the books of the Corporation.  Attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.
 
Section 9.5                      Meeting Attendance via Remote Communication Equipment.  Subject to such guidelines and procedures, if any, as the Board may adopt, meetings of stockholders, if authorized by the Board, meetings of directors, and meetings of members of any committee of the Board may be held by using conference telephone or similar communications equipment, or another suitable electronic communications system, including videoconferencing technology or the Internet, or any combination, if the telephone or other equipment or system permits all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  If voting is to take place at the meeting, the Corporation shall (a) implement reasonable measures to verify that each person considered present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is sufficiently identified and (b) maintain a record of any vote or other action taken at the meeting.
 
Section 9.6                      Distribution.  The Board may declare, and the Corporation may pay, distributions on the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock, subject to applicable law and the Restated Articles.
 
Section 9.7                      Reserves.  The Board may set apart out of the funds of the Corporation available for distributions a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose or purposes and may increase, decrease or abolish any such reserve.
 
Section 9.8                      Contracts and Negotiable Instruments.  Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Restated Articles or these Bylaws, any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument may be executed and delivered in the name and on behalf of the Corporation by such officer or officers or other employee or employees of the Corporation as the Board may from time to time authorize.  Such authority may be general or confined to specific instances as the Board may determine.  The Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President may execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation.  Subject to any restrictions imposed by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President may delegate powers to execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation to other officers or employees of the Corporation under such person’s supervision and authority, it being understood, however, that any such delegation of power shall not relieve such officer of responsibility with respect to the exercise of such delegated power.
 
Section 9.9                      Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by the Board.
 

 
H-2-17

 

Section 9.10                    Seal.  The seal of the Corporation shall be in such form as shall from time to time be adopted by the Board.  The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed, affixed or otherwise reproduced.
 
Section 9.11                    Books and Records.  The Corporation shall keep books and records of account and minutes of the proceedings of its stockholders, Board, and committees of the Board and shall keep at its registered office or principal place of business, or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, share transfer records consisting of a record of the original issuance of shares by the Corporation, a record of each transfer of shares that have been presented to the Corporation for registration of transfer, the names and addresses of all past stockholders of the Corporation and the number and class or series of shares issued by the Corporation held by each current and past stockholder.  The books, records and minutes may be in written paper form or another form capable of being converted into written paper form within a reasonable time.
 
Section 9.12                    Resignation.  Any director, committee member or officer may resign by giving notice thereof in writing or by electronic transmission to the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary.  The resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, or at the time of receipt of such notice if no time is specified or the specified time is earlier than the time of such receipt.  Unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
 
Section 9.13                    Surety Bonds.  Such officers, employees and agents of the Corporation (if any) as the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board may direct, from time to time, shall be bonded for the faithful performance of their duties and for the restoration to the Corporation, in case of their death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office, of all books, papers, vouchers, money and other property of whatever kind in their possession or under their control belonging to the Corporation, in such amounts and by such surety companies as the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board may determine.  The premiums on such bonds shall be paid by the Corporation and the bonds so furnished shall be maintained in the custody of the Secretary.
 
Section 9.14                    Securities of Other Corporations.  Powers of attorney, proxies, waivers of notice of meeting, consents in writing and other instruments relating to securities owned by the Corporation may be executed in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President.  Any such officer, may, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, take all such action as any such officer may deem advisable to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of security holders of any corporation or other entity in which the Corporation may own securities, or to consent in writing, in the name of the Corporation as such holder, to any action by such corporation or other entity, and at any such meeting or with respect to any such consent shall possess and may exercise any and all rights and power incident to the ownership of such securities and which, as the owner thereof, the Corporation might have exercised and possessed.  The Board may from time to time confer like powers upon any other person or persons.
 
Section 9.15                    Amendments.  The Board may amend or repeal these Bylaws, or adopt new Bylaws except to the extent (i) such power shall be reserved exclusively to the stockholders in whole or part by the Restated Articles or the NRS or (ii) the stockholders in amending, repealing or adopting a particular Bylaw shall have expressly provided in such Bylaw or in this Section 9.15 that the Board may not amend or repeal that Bylaw.  Unless the Restated Articles or a Bylaw adopted by the stockholders shall provide otherwise as to all or some portion of the Bylaws, the stockholders may amend, repeal, or adopt Bylaws even though the Bylaws may also be amended, repealed, or adopted by the Board.

Section 12.                      Exculpation and Indemnification.
 
(a)           To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, neither the Sole Member nor the Officers of the Company (each, a “Covered Person”) is liable to the Company or to the Sole Member for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising (i) by reason of being or having been a Covered Person or (ii) from any act or omission performed or omitted by the Covered Person in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s business or affairs (including any error in judgment in making any investment decisions), including losses due to the negligence of brokers or other agents of the Company, except for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities primarily attributable to such Covered Person’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as otherwise required by law.
 
(b)           The Company must, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including legal fees, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) to which such Covered Person may become subject (i) by reason of being or having been a Covered Person or (ii) in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s business or affairs, unless (A) a court of competent jurisdiction, in a judgment that has become final and that is no longer subject to appeal or review, determines that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense is primarily attributable to such Covered Person’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence or (B) it is determined in accordance with the TBOC that such Covered Person did not act in good faith and did not reasonably believe that the Covered Person’s conduct was in the Company’s best interests or, in all other cases, at least not opposed to the Company’s best interests.  The right to indemnification granted by this Section 12 is in addition to any rights to which the Covered Person may otherwise be entitled and inures to the benefit of the successors or assigns of such Covered Person.  If any Covered Person becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s business or affairs, the Company must pay (as they are incurred) the Covered Person’s legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith after the Company receives (i) a written affirmation by the Covered Person of the Covered Person’s good faith belief that it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Section 12(b) and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay to the
 

 
I-2-3

 

Company the amount of any such expenses paid to the extent that it is ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in connection with such action, proceeding or investigation as provided in the exceptions contained in the first sentence of this Section 12(b) or under applicable law.  Any indemnification of or advancement of expenses to a Covered Person will be reported in writing to the Sole Member not later than six months after the date that the indemnification or advancement of expenses occurs.  If for any reason (other than the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Covered Person) the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to such Covered Person, or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company must, to the fullest extent permitted by law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Covered Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Covered Person on the other hand or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also any other relevant equitable considerations.  In any suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover an advancement of expenses, the burden of proving that the Covered Person or other Person claiming a right to indemnification is not entitled to be indemnified, or to an advancement of expenses, hereunder is on the Company (or any Member acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Company or the Members).  No Covered Person may satisfy any right of indemnity or advancement of expenses granted in this Section 12(b) or to which it may be otherwise entitled except out of the assets of the Company, and the Sole Member is personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or advancement of expenses.  The Sole Member in its sole discretion may obtain appropriate insurance on behalf of the Company to secure the Company’s obligations hereunder.
 
(c)           Any person serving as a manager or officer of OryonTechnologies, LLC immediately prior to the Merger shall be deemed to be a Covered person for the purposes of this Section 12 and all references to the Company’s business or affairs shall be deemed to include the business or affairs of OryonTechnologies, LLC prior to the Merger with respect to such Covered Person.  The Company hereby assumes all indemnification obligations of OryonTechnologies, LLC to any such Covered Person under the regulations of OryonTechnologies, LLC in effect immediately prior to the Merger and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to eliminate, reduce or modify in any manner adverse to a Covered Person any indemnification obligation of OryonTechnologies, LLC to such Covered Person.
 
Section 13.                      Assignments.  A member may not assign in whole or in part his or her limited liability company interest.
 
Section 14.                      Tax Matters.  Proper and complete records and books of account of the business of the Company shall be maintained at the Company’s principal place of business.  The members hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be disregarded as an entity separate from its owners, pursuant to Regs. §301.7701-3(a) of the Code, for income tax purposes.  The Company’s books of account shall be maintained on a basis consistent with such treatment and on the same basis utilized in preparing the Company’s United States federal income tax return.  The members and their duly authorized representatives may, for any reason reasonably related to their limited liability company interests in the Company, examine the Company’s books of account and make copies and extracts therefrom at its own expense.  The members shall maintain the records of the Company for three years following the dissolution and winding up of the Company.
 
Section 15.                      Dissolution and Term of the Company.  The Company shall dissolve upon any act or event requiring dissolution under the TBOC.  Subject to an earlier dissolution as described in the preceding sentence, the Company shall have a perpetual duration.
 
Section 16.                      Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by the Sole Member; provided, however, that any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Sole Member.
 
Section 17.                      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement with respect to the Company and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, with respect to that subject.
