1.5 Plan of Merger. The method of effecting the Merger and the basis for
exchanging and converting the outstanding Texxar Common Stock into shares
of Common Stock of World, shall be as follows:
(a) Each issued and outstanding share of Texxar Common Stock shall, at

encumbrances, all of which shall be duly authorized, validly issued
in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. World
shall issue to Company shareholders the aggregate of 22,000,000
shares of World Common stock (the `World Stock"), such shares
representing 95.7% of the total issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of World, in the names and denominations as set forth
on Schedule 1.2 hereto. All such issued shares will be deemed
"restricted stock" as that term is defined in the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.
1.6 Restrictions on Sale. Texxar shareholders represent and warrant that the
World Stock to be acquired by them pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2
hereof is being acquired for their own account, with no intention of
assigning any participation or interest therein, and without a view to the
distribution of any portion thereof, except in accordance with the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Texxar shareholders will
not sell, assign, transfer or encumber any of such shares unless (i) a
registration statement under the Act with respect thereto is in effect and
the prospectus included therein meets the requirements of Section 10 of
the Act, or (ii) a no-action letter is obtained from the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in respect of such
proposed sale, assignment, transfer or encumbering, or (iii) World has
received a written opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that,
after an investigation of the relevant facts, such counsel is of the
opinion that such proposed sale, assignment, transfer or encumbering does
not require registration under the Act.
Texxar shareholders understand that the World Stock is not being
registered under the Act and must be held indefinitely unless it is
subsequently registered thereunder or an exemption from such registration
is available. Texxar shareholders understand that the World Stock is not
being registered under the Act in part on the ground that the issuance
thereof is exempt under Section 4(2) of the Act as a transaction by an
issuer not involving any public offering; that World's reliance on such
exemption is predicated in part on the foregoing representation and
warranty of such Texxar shareholders and that in the view of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for the exemption
claimed would not be present if, notwithstanding such representation and
warranty, such Texxar shareholders contemplate acquiring any of the World
Stock for sale upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of some predetermined
event.

with the shares issued pursuant to paragraph 1.2, above, World will have

the following form:
"THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
ENCUMBERED ONLY PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, PURSUANT TO A NO-ACTION LETTER FROM
THE STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR PURSUANT TO AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS
UNNECESSARY.
