Purchaser). Each Corporation Stockholder who is entitled to receive
Exchange Shares pursuant to the Distribution Mechanism shall deliver
a duly executed Transmittal Letter together with such holder's
Certificate(s) (or an affidavit of lost certificate as described in

of any date subsequent to the Effective Time and prior to such date
of delivery.

such other documents as may be reasonably necessary to complete the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

follows:

9.9 NO SHOP.
(a) The Corporation agrees, from the date of execution of this
Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement
in accordance with its terms, not to solicit, negotiate, participate in
discussions or consider offers relating to any other proposal contemplating (i)
a merger or consolidation involving the Corporation pursuant to which the
stockholders of the Corporation immediately preceding such transaction hold less
than 50% of the equity interest in the surviving or resulting entity of such
transaction, (ii) the acquisition by any person or group (including by way of a
tender offer or an exchange offer), directly or indirectly, of ownership of more

Corporation's Board of Directors' compliance with its fiduciary obligations to
the Corporation's stockholders under applicable law. A "Superior Offer" means
any Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of the Corporation
determines, in its reasonable judgment, to be more favorable to the
Corporation's stockholders than the terms of the Merger.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Board of Directors of
the Corporation from withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying any
recommendation of the Board of Directors in favor of the Merger if (i) a
Superior Offer (as defined above) is made to the Corporation and is not
withdrawn, and (ii) the Corporation shall have provided written notice to the

10 INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION FOR BREACHES OF COVENANTS AND WARRANTY, ETC.
The Corporation covenants and agrees with the Purchaser, and the Purchaser
covenants and agrees with the Corporation Stockholders (the Party or Parties so
covenanting and agreeing to indemnify another Party being referred to as the
"Indemnifying Party" and the Party so to be indemnified being referred to as the
"Indemnified Party") to indemnify and save harmless, on an after-tax basis, the
Indemnified Party effective as and from the Closing Time, from and against all
Claims that may be made or brought against the Indemnified Party, or that it may
suffer or incur, directly or indirectly as a result of or in connection with any
non-fulfilment of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Indemnifying
Party under this Agreement or any incorrectness in or breach of any
representation or warranty (in the case of the Corporation only for any
incorrectness in or breach of Sections 4.3 and 4.32) of the Indemnifying Party
contained in this Agreement (including any exhibits and schedules thereto):
(a) In case an Indemnifying Party shall object in writing to any claim
or claims for indemnification, the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith for fifteen (15) days
to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to
each of such claims.
(b) if no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation during
such fifteen (15) day period, either the Indemnified Party or the
Indemnifying Party may, by written notice to the other party, demand
submission of the matter to arbitration or to some other
mutually-agreeable form of alternative dispute resolution (together
or in the alternative, "ADR") to take place in Chicago, Illinois,
United States. Unless the parties mutually agree in writing to some
---- alternative form of ADR, arbitration of the matter shall be
conducted in accordance with the commercial rules then in effect of

experienced commercial litigator and admitted before the bar of
California, Illinois or New York. The dispute shall be determined by
one (1) arbitrator acceptable to both parties, which arbitrator
shall be selected within twenty (20) days of filing by a party of
notice of intention to arbitrate. If, by the end of said twenty (20)
day period, the parties have not agreed on one (1) arbitrator to be
acceptable, then either party may request the American Arbitration
Association to appoint the arbitrator pursuant to this Section 10.1
and the commercial rules then in effect of the American Arbitration
Association. Arbitrators shall be compensated for their services at
the standard hourly rate charged in their private professional
activities. The parties acknowledge that the federal and state
45
courts situated in Illinois shall have jurisdiction and venue over
the parties for the purpose of enforcing this Section 10.1. The
United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply with
respect to any arbitration hereunder, and to the extent practicable
any hearing with respect to a single matter shall be held on
consecutive hearing days. The arbitrator(s) shall follow substantive
rules of law and shall make its award in strict conformity with this
Agreement. All parties agree to be bound by the results of this
arbitration; judgement upon the award so rendered may be entered and
enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) the foregoing indemnity shall be subject to the requirement that the
Indemnifying Party shall, in respect of any Claim made by any third person, be
afforded an opportunity at its sole expense to resist, defend and compromise
such Claim;
(d) the foregoing indemnity shall be subject to the limitation that, for any
Claims made hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay any
such amount until the aggregate amount of such Claims exceeds $100,000 and then
the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay the full amount;
(e) the foregoing indemnity shall be subject to the limitation that, for Claims
made in connection with the indemnity described in Section 9.10 hereof, the
Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay any amount in excess of the
value of the Exchange Shares based on the Merger Price Per Share;
(f) the foregoing indemnity shall be subject to the limitation that, for Claims
made in connection with the representations or warranties in Sections 4.3 and
4.32, the Indemnifying Party shall not, absent fraud, be required to pay any
amount in excess of the value of the Escrow Shares based on the Merger Price Per
Share;
(g) the indemnification rights set forth in this Article 10 shall be the sole
and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Party, and are in lieu of any
other claim or right that the Indemnified Party may otherwise have under
applicable law or otherwise and the liability of any Corporation
Stockholder for indemnification claims hereunder shall be several and not
joint;
(h) in no event shall any Corporation Stockholder who has not received any
Exchange Shares pursuant to the Distribution Mechanism as described in
Section 2.6 be liable for any indemnification claims hereunder; and
(i) for all purposes of this Article 10, the Stockholder Representative shall
act on behalf of the Corporation Stockholders in administering Claims by
the Purchaser, including, without limitation, for purposes of determining
whether to dispute that the Corporation Stockholders are in fact liable
under this Article 10 for a Claim asserted by the Purchaser, determining
whether to assume the defense of third party claims, and administering the
Escrow Agreement for the benefit of the Corporation Stockholders.
46
10.2 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES FOR THIRD PERSON CLAIMS
(a) In the case of Claims made by a third Person with respect to which
indemnification is sought, the Party seeking indemnification shall
give Notice promptly, and in any event within 20 days, to the other
Party of any such Claims made upon it. In the event of a failure to
give such notice, such failure shall not preclude the Party seeking
indemnification from obtaining such indemnification but its right to
indemnification may be reduced to the extent that such delay
prejudiced the defence of the Claim or increased the amount of
liability or cost of defence and provided that, notwithstanding
anything else contained in this Agreement, no Claim for indemnity in
respect of the breach of any representation or warranty contained in
this Agreement may be made unless Notice of such Claim has been
given prior to the expiry of the survival period applicable to such
representation and warranty pursuant to Section 6.2. The provisions
of Sections 10.1(a) and 10.1(b) shall also apply to any third person
Claims such that the Indemnifying Party shall have an opportunity to
object to the defense of any third person Claim in accordance with
such provisions.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by Notice to the
Indemnified Party given not later than 30 days after receipt of the
Notice described in subsection (a), to assume the control of the
defence, compromise or settlement of the Claim, provided that such
assumption shall, by its terms, be without cost to the Indemnified
Party.
(c) Upon the assumption of control of any Claim by the Indemnifying
Party as set out in subsection (b), the Indemnifying Party shall
diligently proceed with the defence, compromise or settlement of the
Claim at its sole expense, including if necessary, employment of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, in
connection therewith, the Indemnified Party shall co-operate fully,
to make available to the Indemnifying Party all pertinent
information and witnesses under the Indemnified Party's control,
make such assignments and take such other steps as the Indemnifying
Party determines, with the advice of counsel, are reasonably
necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to conduct such defence.
Any compromise or settlement of the Claim by the Indemnifying Party
shall be subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party shall
also have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or
defence of any Claim at its own expense.
(d) The final determination of any Claim pursuant to this Section,
including all related costs and expenses, will be binding and
conclusive upon the parties as to the validity or invalidity, as the
case may be, of such Claim against the Indemnifying Party.
47
(e) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of a Claim as
permitted in subsection 10.2(b), the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to make settlement of the Claim subject to obtaining the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any such settlement or
any other final determination of the Claim shall be binding upon the
Indemnifying Party.
10.3 RECOVERY FOR INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS
In the event that Purchaser is entitled to indemnification from the Corporation
Stockholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for breaches of the
Corporation's representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.3 and 4.32,
such indemnification may be recovered by deducting the amount of such Claims
from the Escrow Shares described in Section 2(c) of the Escrow Agreement by
instructing the Escrow Agent to return a number of Escrow Shares to the
Purchaser equal to the value of such Claim based on a trailing 5-day average
prior to the date the Claim is paid.
10.4 INSURANCE PROCEEDS
The amount which an Indemnifying Party is or may be required to indemnify the
Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 10 shall be reduced (including
retroactively) by (i) any amounts received by such Indemnified Party from an
insurance carrier or paid and resolved by an insurance carrier on behalf of the
insured ("Insurance Proceeds") and (ii) other amounts actually recovered by or
on behalf of such Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Claims. If an
Indemnified Party receives the payment required by this Agreement from the
Indemnifying Party in respect of any Claims and subsequently actually receives
Insurance Proceeds, or other amounts in respect of such Claims as specified
above, then such Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party a sum
equal to the amount of any such double recovery actually received. The parties
agree that any indemnification provided by this Agreement is not to be deemed
insurance (whether primary, excess, or otherwise) for purposes of seeking
reimbursement from the applicable insurance coverage.

1. The Parties may terminate this Agreement by their mutual

without cure for a period of 10 days after the notice of
breach, or (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or
before the Closing Date, by reason of the failure of any

warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement);

3. The Corporation may terminate this Agreement by giving written
notice to Purchaser at any time prior to the Closing (A) in
the event Purchaser has breached any material representation,

after the notice of breach or (B) if the Closing shall not
have occurred on or before the Closing Date, by reason of the
failure of any condition precedent of the Corporation hereof
(unless the failure results primarily from the Corporation
breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained
in this Agreement);
4. Either Party may, by giving written notice to the other,
terminate this Agreement if a court of competent jurisdiction
or other governmental Authority shall have issued a
nonappealable final order, decree or ruling or taken any other
action, in each case having the effect of permanently
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger;
and
5. By either Party, if the approval and adoption of this
Agreement, and the approval of the Merger, by the Corporation
Stockholders shall not have been obtained by reason of the
failure to obtain the required vote at a meeting of the
Corporation Stockholders duly convened therefore or at any
adjournment thereof or pursuant to a written consent of the
Corporation Stockholders.
(b) Effect of Termination. If any Party properly terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 11.1(a) hereof, all rights and obligations of the

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE SURVIVING CORPORATION
3.1 AMENDMENT OF TARGET'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION. At the Effective Time,

hereto.
ARTICLE 4
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK
OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS
4.1 MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OF SHARES.
(a) MERGER CONSIDERATION. Subject to the amounts to be deposited into
escrow pursuant to Section 4.1(c) below, the aggregate consideration
to be provided by Acquiror in exchange for the acquisition by
Acquiror of all outstanding Target Capital Stock shall consist of
5,400,000 shares of Common Shares of Acquiror (the "Merger
Consideration"). The Merger Consideration delivered upon the
surrender for exchange of shares of Target Capital Stock in
accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued
in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of
Target Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of
transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of
Target Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time.
(b) CONVERSION OF SHARES OF TARGET CAPITAL STOCK. Other than Dissenting
Shares (as defined in Section 4.3 below), each share of Target
Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be converted and exchanged as follows upon
surrender of the certificate representing such share of Target
Capital Stock:
(i) Each share of Series 3 Preferred Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right
to receive approximately .349404 of an Acquiror Common Share;
provided, however, that cash shall be issued in lieu of
fractional shares of Acquiror Common Shares, and the total
number of Acquiror Common Shares to be issued to holders of
Series 3 Preferred Stock shall not exceed 1,002,913.
(ii) Each share of Series 2 Preferred Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right
to receive approximately .814466 of an Acquiror Common Share;
provided, however, that cash shall be issued in lieu of
fractional shares of Acquiror Common Shares and the total
number of Acquiror Common Shares to be issued to the holders
of Series 3 Preferred Stock shall not exceed 4,397,087.
59
(iii) All shares of Common Stock, and Series 1 Preferred Stock of
Target outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be cancelled and extinguished, and no cash or other
consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. No
surrender of the stock certificate representing such shares of
Common Stock or Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be required to
effect the cancellation and extinguishment of such shares of
Common Stock or Series 1 Preferred Stock of Target.
(c) ESCROW. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Acquiror
shall cause to be deposited with Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP, as
escrow agent, a portion of the Merger Consideration equal to 950,000
of Acquiror Common Shares (the "Escrow Fund") to be available for
distribution to shareholders of Target or to Acquiror, as the case
may be, upon the achievement of certain milestones and the
occurrence of certain events set forth in greater detail in Section
2.7 of the Plan of Merger and Sections 2 and 3 of the Escrow
Agreement dated May 28, 2004, among Target, Merger Sub, Acquiror,
Xxxx XxXxxxx as Stockholder Representative, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Gervais LLP, as escrow agent. Such 950,000 Acquiror Common Shares
shall be deducted from the Merger Consideration from the aggregate
Merger Consideration deliverable to the holders of Target Capital
Stock on a pro rata basis. A holder of Target Capital Stock's "pro
rata" share of each holder of Target Capital Stock equal to the
proportion that the Merger Consideration that such holder is
entitled to receive bears to the aggregate Merger Consideration that
all holders are entitled to receive.
(d) OPTIONS AND WARRANTS. At the Effective Time, all options and
warrants to purchase Target Capital Stock then outstanding shall be
terminated and cancelled.
(e) CONSIDERATION OF SHARES OF MERGER SUB CAPITAL STOCK. By virtue of
the merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any
shares of capital stock of Merger Sub, each issued and outstanding
share of the capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and
become one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, no
par value of the Surviving Corporation.
4.2 EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) MECHANICS OF EXCHANGE. Promptly after the Effective Time, the
Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of
record of a certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") that
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented
outstanding shares of Target Capital Stock, whose shares were
converted into the right to receive a portion of the Merger
Consideration pursuant to Section 4.1, (i) a letter of transmittal;
(ii) such other customary documents as may be required pursuant to
such instructions; and (iii) instructions for use in effecting the
surrender of the Certificates in exchange for its respective portion
of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for
cancellation to Acquiror or to such other agent or agents as may be
appointed by Acquiror, together with such letter of transmittal and
other documents, duly completed and validly executed in accordance
with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall
be entitled to receive in exchange therefore the number of Acquiror
60
Common Shares representing such holder's respective portion of the
Merger Consideration as provided in Section 4.1, and the Certificate
so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered,
each outstanding Certificate that prior to the Effective Time
represented shares of Target Capital Stock will be deemed from and
after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence
the ownership of the right to receive that amount of Acquiror Common
Shares equal to the Merger Consideration into which such shares of
Target Capital Stock shall have been so converted in accordance with
Section 4.1.
(b) CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer
books of Target shall be closed, and there shall be no further
registration of transfers of Target Capital Stock thereafter on the
records of Target.
4.3 DISSENTING SHARES.
(A) Notwithstanding any provision of this Merger Agreement to the
contrary, any shares of Target Capital Stock held by a holder who
has demanded and perfected such holder's right for appraisal of such
shares in accordance with California Law and who, as of the
Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right to
appraisal ("Dissenting Shares"), if any, shall not be converted into
the Merger Consideration but shall instead be converted into the
right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due
with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to California Law.
(B) Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of
California Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value for
shares of Target Capital Stock shall receive payment therefore (but
only after the value therefore shall have been agreed upon or
finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the
Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as
Dissenting Shares, Acquiror shall issue and deliver, upon surrender
by such shareholder of a Certificate or Certificates representing
shares of Target Capital Stock, the portion of the Merger
Consideration, if any, to which such shareholder would otherwise be
entitled under Section 4.1 hereof, less the portion of the Merger
Consideration allocable to such shareholder that has been deposited
in the Escrow Fund in respect of such shares of Target Capital
Stock.
61
ARTICLE 5
TERMINATION
5.1 TERMINATION BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding the approval of this
Merger Agreement by the shareholders of Target, this Merger Agreement may
be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time by mutual agreement
of the Boards of Directors of the Constituent Corporations.

Merger Agreement by the shareholders of Target, this Merger Agreement
shall terminate forthwith if the Plan of Merger is terminated at any time
prior to the Effective Time as provided therein.

Agreement, this Merger Agreement shall become void and there shall be no
liability on the part of either Target or Merger Sub or their respective
officers or directors, except as otherwise provided in the Plan of Merger.
ARTICLE 6
GENERAL PROVISIONS
6.1 AMENDMENT. This Merger Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto any
time prior to the Effective Time, before or after approval hereof by the
shareholders of Target, but after such approval, no amendment shall be
made that by law requires the further approval of such shareholders
without obtaining such approval. This Merger Agreement may not be amended
except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties
hereto.
6.2 COUNTERPARTS. This Merger Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of
