A-3

(f) All of the shares of Sense8 Stock converted into EAI Common Stock
pursuant to this Article shall no longer be outstanding and shall
automatically be canceled and cease to exist at the Effective Time, and
each Sense8 Certificate shall thereafter represent the right to receive
(i) a certificate representing the number of whole shares of EAI Common
Stock, and (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares, into which the shares of
Sense8 Stock represented by such Sense8 Certificate have been converted.
If, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of EAI Common Stock
or Sense8 Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a
result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in
capitalization, then an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be
made to this Article.
(g) Shares of Sense8 Stock with respect to which dissenters rights
have been properly demanded in accordance with the CGCL ("Dissenters'
Shares") shall not be converted into EAI Common Stock at the Effective
Time, but shall be converted into the right to receive from EAI such
consideration as is determined to be due with respect to such Dissenters'
Shares pursuant to the provisions of the CGCL. Sense8 shall give EAI (i)
prompt notice of any written demands for appraisals, withdrawals or demands
for appraisal and any other instruments in respect thereof received by
Sense8 and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings
with respect to demands for appraisal. Sense8 shall not voluntarily make
any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal and will not, except
with the prior written consent of EAI, settle or offer to settle any such
demands.
(h) At the Effective Time, all shares of Sense8 Stock that are owned
by Sense8 as treasury stock and all shares of Sense8 Stock that are owned,
directly or indirectly, by Sense8, EAI or any wholly-owned subsidiary of
EAI shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no stock of EAI or
other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. All shares of
EAI Common Stock that are owned by Sense8 shall become treasury stock of
EAI.
(i) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on Sense8's
stock transfer books of shares of Sense8 Stock.
2.4. Exchange of Shares. (a) At the Closing, each shareholder of Sense8
shall have the right to deliver to EAI a properly completed letter of
transmittal and Sense8 Certificates representing all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Sense8 Stock owned by such shareholder, duly endorsed for
transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, free and clear of all
options, liens, claims, charges, restrictions and other encumbrances of any
nature whatsoever, other than federal and state securities law restrictions.
Upon proper surrender of a Sense8 Certificate for exchange and cancellation to
EAI, and in accordance with and subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement and the letter of transmittal, the holder of such Sense8 Certificate
shall receive in exchange therefor (i) a certificate representing that number of
whole shares of EAI Common Stock to which such holder of Sense8 Stock shall have
become entitled, and (ii) a check representing the amount of any cash in lieu of
fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive. The Sense8
Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall be
paid or accrued on any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable to holders of
Sense8 Certificates.
(b) If any certificate representing shares of EAI Common Stock is to be
issued in a name other than that in which the Sense8 Certificate surrendered in
exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof
that the Sense8 Certificate shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an
appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer,
and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to EAI in advance any
transfer or other taxes required by reason thereof, or shall establish to the
satisfaction of EAI that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(c) In the event any Sense8 Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, the person so claiming shall make an affidavit of that fact and, if
required by EAI, post a bond in such amount as EAI may determine is reasonably
necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with
respect to such Sense8 Certificate. Thereafter, EAI shall issue in exchange for
such lost, stolen or destroyed Sense8 Certificate the shares of EAI Common Stock
and any cash in lieu of a fractional share deliverable in respect thereof
pursuant to this Agreement.
A-4

2.5. Warrants to Acquire Sense8 Stock.
(a) At the Effective Time, pursuant to its terms, each outstanding Sense8
Warrant shall automatically be deemed to constitute a warrant to acquire, on the
same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Sense8 Warrant, (i) the
same number of shares of EAI Common Stock as such Sense8 Warrant would have been
exchangeable for had such Sense8 Warrant been exercised in full immediately
prior to the Effective Time and (ii) at an exercise price per share (rounded up
to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the aggregate exercise price for the
shares of Sense8 Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Sense8 Warrant
divided by (B) the number of shares of EAI Common Stock deemed to be purchasable
under such warrant to acquire EAI Common Stock; provided, however, that the
number of shares of EAI Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of such
Sense8 Warrant shall not include any fractional share and, upon exercise of such
Sense8 Warrant, a cash payment shall be made for any fractional share based upon
the closing price of a share of EAI Common Stock as reported on the NNM on the
trading day immediately preceding the date of exercise.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, EAI shall deliver to
the holders of Sense8 Warrants appropriate notices setting forth such holders'
rights and the agreements evidencing such Sense8 Warrants shall be deemed to be
appropriately amended so that such Sense8 Warrants shall represent rights to
acquire EAI Common Stock on terms and conditions as contained in the outstanding
Sense8 Warrants (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.5 after
giving effect to the conversion as set forth above).
2.6. Options to Acquire Sense8 Common Stock.
(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding Sense8 Option, whether vested
or unvested, shall be assumed by EAI. Each such Sense8 Option so assumed by EAI
under this Agreement shall continue to have and be subject to the same terms and
conditions set forth in the applicable Sense8 Stock Option immediately prior to
the Effective Time. Each such Sense8 Option shall thereafter be deemed to
constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were
applicable under such Sense8 Option, (i) the same number of shares of EAI Common
Stock as such Sense8 Option would have been exchangeable for had such Sense8
Option been exercised in full immediately prior to the Merger and (ii) at an
exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the
aggregate exercise price for the shares of Sense8 Common Stock otherwise
purchasable pursuant to such Sense8 Option divided by (B) the number of shares
of EAI Common Stock deemed to be purchasable under such option to acquire EAI
Common Stock; provided, however, that the number of shares of EAI Common Stock
that may be purchased upon exercise of such Sense8 Option shall not include any
fractional share and, upon exercise of such Sense8 Option, a cash payment shall
be made for any fractional share based upon the closing price of a share of EAI
Common Stock as reported on the NNM on the trading day immediately preceding the
date of exercise. It is the intention of the parties that the Sense8 Options
assumed by EAI, to the extent that they pertain to the purchase of EAI Common
Stock thereunder, shall continue to qualify as incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Code to the same extent immediately after the Closing as such
Sense8 Options so qualified immediately prior to the Closing. As a condition to
EAI's obligations to consummate the Merger, each holder of a Sense8 Option,
which by its terms does not automatically convert in the Merger into an option
to purchase EAI Common Stock, shall have consented to the above described
assumption pursuant to a written agreement or instrument signed by such holder.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, EAI shall deliver to
the holders of Sense8 Options appropriate notices setting forth such holders'
rights and the agreements evidencing the grants of such Sense8 Options shall be
deemed to be appropriately amended so that such Sense8 Options shall represent
rights to acquire EAI Common Stock on terms and conditions as contained in the
outstanding Sense8 Options (subject to the adjustments required by this Section
2.6 after giving effect to the assumption by EAI as set forth above).
(c) EAI shall file within three (3) business days following the Closing
Date and use its reasonable efforts to file and maintain the effectiveness of a
Form S-8 registration statement covering the Sense8 Options (and maintain the
current status of the prospectus or prospectuses referred to therein) for so
long as such Sense8 Options remain outstanding.

amendment, extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written
instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such amendment, extension or

agreement or condition in this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of, or
estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

9.3. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to
Sections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference shall be to a Section of or
Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of
contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes
only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement. Whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in
this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without
limitation." No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to require EAI,
Sub, Sense8 or any of their respective affiliates to take any action which would
violate any applicable law, rule or regulation.
9.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of
which shall be considered one and the same agreement.
9.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule,
the Exhibits, and the Confidential Disclosure Agreement dated as of February 20,
1998) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof.
9.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to any
applicable conflicts of law which would result in the application of any other
law.
9.7. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this
Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted
to be only so broad as is enforceable.
9.8. Publicity. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or the
rules of the NNM, neither Sense8 nor EAI shall, or shall permit any of their
respective affiliates to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or
other public announcement with respect to, or otherwise make any public
statement concerning, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without
the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
9.9. Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any
of the rights, interests or obligations set forth herein shall be assigned by
either of the parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the
prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the preceding sentence,
this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be
enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This
Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule, Exhibits, documents and
instruments referred to herein) is not intended to confer upon any person other
than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
9.10. Knowledge and Awareness. As used in this Agreement, "knowledge" or
"awareness" of any entity means the actual knowledge or awareness of such
entity's officers and other persons exercising supervisory authority, and such
knowledge or awareness as such entity's officers and other persons exercising
supervisory authority should have had after reasonable investigation. Whenever
the term "knowledge" or "awareness" is used to refer to the "knowledge" or
"awareness" of Sense8, such term shall include the "knowledge" or "awareness" of
the directors, officers and other persons exercising supervisory authority over
Sense8 and the shareholders of Sense8 who are active in the business of Sense8.
9.11. Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumptions or burden of proof
shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any
of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any Federal, state,
county, local or foreign law or statute shall be deemed also to refer to all
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires
otherwise.

9.12. Tax Free Reorganization. In the event that either EAI or Sense8
becomes aware of any provisions of this Agreement which would prevent the Merger
from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the
Code, such parties shall negotiate in good faith with a view toward amending
this Agreement in a manner which would permit the Merger to qualify as such a
reorganization, as applicable.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, EAI, Sub and Sense8 have caused this AMENDED AND
RESTATED AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER to be executed by their respective
officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
