Whereas, the Boards of Directors of ACBR, Woodmans and BOLLENTE each have, in light of and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) determined that the Merger (as defined below) is fair to their respective stockholders and in the best interests of such stockholders and (ii) approved the Merger in accordance with this Agreement;

Whereas, this Agreement constitutes the entire, final and complete agreement between ACBR, Woodmans, and BOLLENTE and supersedes and replaces all prior or existing written and oral agreements, between ACBR, Woodmans, and BOLLENTE with respect to the subject matter hereof;

Whereas, for Federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and

Whereas, ACBR, Woodmans and BOLLENTE desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, ACBR, Woodmans and BOLLENTE hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Merger

Section 1.1. The Merger . At the Effective Time (as defined below) and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada (the “NGCL”), Woodmans shall be merged with and into BOLLENTE (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, BOLLENTE shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”), shall continue to be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and the separate corporate existence of Woodmans shall cease. BOLLENTE shall continue its existence as a wholly owned subsidiary of ACBR.  The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Code as relates to the non-cash exchange of stock referenced herein.

 
1

 


Section 1.2. Effective Time . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Certificate of Merger (the “Merger Certificate”) shall be duly executed and acknowledged by each of BOLLENTE, Woodmans and ACBR, and thereafter the Merger Certificate reflecting the Merger shall be delivered to the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada for filing pursuant to the NGCL on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.3). The Merger shall become effective on April 15, 2011, as set forth in the Merger Certificate (the time at which the Merger becomes effective shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.3. Closing of the Merger . The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place on April 15, 2011 upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 5 (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Stoecklein Law Group, 402 West Broadway, Suite 690, San Diego, California 92101, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

Section 1.4. Effects of the Merger . The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the NGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers of Woodmans shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Woodmans shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. Concurrently, BOLLENTE shall remain a wholly owned subsidiary of ACBR.

Section 1.5. Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws . The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of BOLLENTE in the respective forms delivered by BOLLENTE to ACBR prior to the date of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will be the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.6. Board of Directors and Officers .

(a) Board of Directors of Woodmans . At or prior to the Effective Time, ACBR agrees to take such action as is necessary (i) to cause the number of directors comprising the full Board of Directors of Woodmans to be one (1) person and (ii) to cause Robertson J. Orr,  (the “ACBR Designee”) to be elected as the sole director of Woodmans.

 
2

 


(b) Board of Directors of ACBR . At or prior to the Effective Time, each of BOLLENTE and ACBR agrees to take such action as is necessary (i) to cause the number of directors comprising the full Board of Directors of ACBR to be two (2) persons and (ii) to cause Robertson J. Orr (the “BOLLENTE Designee”) to be elected as a director of ACBR. If the BOLLENTE Designee shall decline or be unable to serve as a director prior to the Effective Time, BOLLENTE shall nominate another person to serve in such person’s stead, which such person shall be subject to approval of the other party. From and after the Effective Time, and until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable law, Robertson J. Orr shall be Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Surviving Corporation. Additionally, prior to the Effective Time, Robertson J. Orr (“Orr”), the existing Chief Executive Officer, and director of ACBR, and any other officer of ACBR, shall resign upon execution of this Agreement, and pursuant to the terms of the termination agreement (“Termination Agreement”) between Orr and ACBR. Upon the resignation of Orr, until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable law, Robertson J. Orr shall be Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer of ACBR.

Section 1.7. Conversion of Shares .

(a) At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $.001 per share of BOLLENTE (individually a "BOLLENTE Share" and collectively, the "BOLLENTE Shares") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of BOLLENTE, ACBR, or the holder thereof, be converted into and shall become fully paid and nonassessable ACBR common shares determined by dividing (i) Million Seven Hundred Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-Seven (4,707,727), by (ii) the total number of shares of BOLLENTE, Four Million Seven Hundred Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-Seven (4,707,727) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (such quotient, the “Exchange Ratio”). The holder of one or more shares of BOLLENTE common stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore a number of shares of ACBR Common Stock equal to the product of (x) (the number of shares of BOLLENTE common stock (4,707,727)), times (y) (the Exchange Ratio. ACBR Shares and BOLLENTE Shares are sometimes referred to collectively herein as "Shares." By way of example, 4,707,727 / 4,707,727 = 1.00 (the Exchange Ratio). The number of shares of BOLLENTE common stock held by a stockholder (assume 100,000 shares) times the Exchange Ratio of 1.00 equals 100,000 shares of ACBR Shares to be issued. In the event that, subsequent to the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of ACBR Common Stock or BOLLENTE Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares or a different class as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, combination, exchange, recapitalization or similar transaction, the number of shares of ACBR Common Stock into which each share of BOLLENTE Common Stock will be converted as a result of the Merger will be adjusted appropriately.

 
3

 


(b)  BOLLENTE hereby acknowledges that (i) the ACBR Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, the ACBR Shares cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered under said laws or exemptions from such registrations as are available; and (ii) the transferability of the Shares is restricted and that a legend shall be placed on the certificates representing the securities substantially to the following effect:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”). THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF A CURRENT AND EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES, OR AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER AND ITS COUNSEL TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.

(c) At the Effective Time, each BOLLENTE Share held in the treasury of BOLLENTE, by BOLLENTE immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of BOLLENTE, Woodmans or ACBR be canceled, retired and cease to exist and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

Section 1.8. Exchange of Certificates .

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, ACBR shall enter into an agreement with, and shall deposit with, Stoecklein Law Group or such other agent or agents as may be satisfactory to ACBR and BOLLENTE (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of BOLLENTE Shares, for exchange through the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Article I: (i) certificates representing the appropriate number of ACBR Shares to be issued to holders of BOLLENTE Shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.7 in exchange for outstanding BOLLENTE Shares.

 
4

 


(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding BOLLENTE Shares (the “Certificates”) whose shares were converted into the right to receive ACBR Shares pursuant to Section 1.7: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as BOLLENTE and ACBR may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing ACBR Shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and any other required documents, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore a certificate representing that number of whole ACBR Shares and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of BOLLENTE Shares which are not registered in the transfer records of BOLLENTE, a certificate representing the proper number of ACBR Shares may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such BOLLENTE Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent accompanied by all documents required by the Exchange Agent or ACBR to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer or other taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the certificate representing ACBR Shares as contemplated by this Section 1.8.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to ACBR Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any un-surrendered Certificate with respect to the ACBR Shares represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate.

(d) In the event that any Certificate for BOLLENTE Shares or ACBR Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof such ACBR Shares and cash in lieu of fractional ACBR Shares, if any, as may be required pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that ACBR or the Exchange Agent, may, in its respective discretion, require the delivery of a suitable bond, opinion or indemnity.

(e) All ACBR Shares issued upon the surrender for exchange of BOLLENTE Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such BOLLENTE Shares. There shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of either of BOLLENTE or ACBR of the BOLLENTE Shares or ACBR Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to ACBR for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

 
5

 


(f) No fractional ACBR Shares shall be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of BOLLENTE Shares otherwise entitled to a fractional ACBR Share shall, upon surrender of its, his or her Certificate or Certificates, be entitled to receive an additional share to round up to the nearest round number of shares.

Section 1.9. Stock Options . At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase BOLLENTE Shares, if any (a “BOLLENTE Stock Option” or collectively, “BOLLENTE Stock Options”) issued pursuant to any BOLLENTE Stock Option Plan or BOLLENTE Long Term Incentive Plan whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled.

Section 1.10. Warrants . At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase BOLLENTE Shares, if any (a “BOLLENTE Warrant” or collectively, “BOLLENTE Warrants”) issued and pursuant to any BOLLENTE Warrant Agreement as disclosed in Schedule 3.2 shall convert to the right to receive replacement ACBR Warrants, adjusted to reflect the proportionate reduction in number of shares as set forth in section 1.7 above. The Exercise Price per Warrant Share in effect at the time of the record date for the determination of Stockholders entitled to receive shares pursuant to section 1.7 shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action.  Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur and shall become effective at the close of business on such record date or at the close of business on the date immediately preceding such effective date, as applicable.
 
Section 1.11. Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action . If, at any time after the Effective Time, BOLLENTE or ACBR reasonably determines that any deeds, assignments, or instruments or confirmations of transfer are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest ACBR with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of BOLLENTE, the officers and directors of ACBR and BOLLENTE are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary or desirable action.

When used in connection with ACBR, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means any change or effect (i) that is or is reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the business, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of ACBR, other than any change or effect arising out of general economic conditions unrelated to any business in which ACBR is engaged, or (ii) that may impair the ability of ACBR to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by ACBR and Woodmans and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of ACBR and Woodmans, enforceable against ACBR and Woodmans in accordance with its terms.

(b) The ACBR Board has resolved to recommend that ACBR, the sole stockholder of Woodmans, approve and adopt this Agreement.

In the event of any such loss expense, claim, damage or liability (whether or not arising before the Effective Time), (i) ACBR shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Parties, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to ACBR, promptly after statements therefor are received and otherwise advance to such Indemnified Party upon request reimbursement of documented expenses reasonably incurred, in either case to the extent not prohibited by the NGCL or its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) ACBR will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnified Party’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under the NGCL and ACBR’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws shall be made by independent counsel mutually acceptable to ACBR and the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that ACBR shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Please execute the acknowledgement below, indicating your approval of the above referenced exchange, in addition to providing us with a signed Board Resolution attached. Further, please feel free to contact outside counsel in reference to this matter, as we have an obvious conflict of interest.

For clarification purposes, the last item billed, which is included in the above referenced conversion, is the Form 8-K, dated March 7, 2011.


Yours Very Truly,
