WHEREAS, this Agreement contemplates a merger of the Transitory Subsidiary into the Company whereby the shareholders of the Company will receive cash in exchange for their capital stock of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows.

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Transitory Subsidiary shall merge with and into the Company at the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Transitory Subsidiary shall cease and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 1107 of the California General Corporation Law.

1.2 The Closing. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Xxxx and Xxxx LLP, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time on the Closing Date.

1.4 Additional Action. The Surviving Corporation may, at any time after the Effective Time, take any action, including executing and delivering any document, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or the Transitory Subsidiary, in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

1.5 Conversion of Company Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder of any of the following securities:

(a) Each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive an amount

per share equal to the quotient of (i) $192,500 over (ii) the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Each Preferred Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive an amount per share equal to the quotient of (i) $1,732,500 over (ii) the number of Preferred Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Preferred Payment Amount”).

(c) Each Company Share held in the Company’s treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time and each Company Share owned beneficially by the Buyer or the Transitory Subsidiary shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor.

(d) Each share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Transitory Subsidiary issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and thereafter evidence one share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

1.7 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such Company Shareholder’s right to appraisal shall have ceased in accordance with Section 1309 of the California General Corporation Law. If such Company Shareholder has so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then, as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Company Shares or Subject Common Shares pursuant to Sections 1.5.

(b) The Company shall give the Buyer (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments that relate to such demands received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the California General Corporation Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Buyer, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Shares or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

1.9 Exchange Procedures. The procedures for exchanging outstanding Common Shares and Preferred Shares pursuant to the Merger are as follows:

(a) Not later than five business days following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered, to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates representing Common Shares and, to the extent that a holder of record of a certificate or certificates representing Preferred Shares has not previously surrendered such certificate or certificates to the Surviving Corporation prior to the Closing Date (such surrendered certificate or certificates, “Early Surrendered Certificates”), to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates representing Preferred Shares, in each case determined immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Certificate”): (A) a letter of transmittal that 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 Surviving Corporation and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Buyer may reasonably specify, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Surviving Corporation or to such agent or agents as may be appointed by the Surviving Corporation, together, in the case of Certificates that are not Early Surrendered Certificates, with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive, and the Surviving Corporation shall deliver in exchange therefor, the applicable Merger Consideration and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of Common Shares and Preferred Shares shall be made by the Buyer (i) in the case of Preferred Shares represented by Early Surrendered Certificates, on the Closing Date by wire transfer to an account specified to the Buyer in writing by the record holder of such Early Surrendered Certificates at least two business days prior to the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of Common Shares and Preferred Shares (other than Preferred Shares represented by Early Surrendered Certificates), as soon as the practicable following surrender of such Certificates and the applicable letter of transmittal, and in no case more than 10 business days from the date of such surrender, by check to the address set forth in the letter of transmittal. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented Company Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each such share (subject to Section 1.7).

(b) At the Effective Time, Company Shares shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist (subject to Section 1.7). The Merger Consideration when delivered upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates representing Company Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Buyer shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer of that fact by the holder thereof, the amount of Merger Consideration as may payable with respect to such Certificate pursuant to this Article I; provided, however, that the Buyer may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of any such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond (or such other indemnity agreement) in such sum as the Buyer may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

-3-

(d) If any payment is to be made to a person other than the holder in whose name the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the payment thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

(e) No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration.

1.10 Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Shares shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing Company Shares are presented to the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration, subject to Section 1.7 in the case of Dissenting Shares and to applicable law.
