The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger are duly filed with the Secretary, or at such subsequent date or time as Parent and the Company mutually shall agree and specify in the Articles of Merger (the time the Merger becomes so effective being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK

OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS;

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and automatically without any action on the part of any holder of capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company, respectively:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each then-outstanding share of common stock, no par value, of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one (1) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, no par value, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock then issued and held in the Company's treasury and each share of Company Common Stock then owned by Parent, Merger Sub, or any other wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Company Common Stock. Each then-outstanding share of Company Common Stock (but excluding shares cancelled and retired pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares), shall be converted into and become the right to receive, subject to Sections 2.2 and 2.8, 14.614568 duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock ((the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in exchange for the Company Common Stock are hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration”).

(d) Lock Up. At the Closing, the holders of Parent Common Stock issued as Merger Consideration, will execute a Lock-Up Agreement in form substantially similar to Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), which shall contain a lock-up period (the “Lock Up Period”) reasonably requested by the Parent’s financial advisors on the same terms as the other Parent stockholders required to execute a Lock-Up Agreement by the terms hereof.

(e) Registration Rights. The holders of Parent Common Stock issued as Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive certain demand and “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to such shares. Accordingly, at the Closing, Parent and the holders of Parent Common Stock issued as Merger consideration shall enter into (i) the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

SECTION 2.2 Fractional Shares. No certificates representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Stock Certificates, no dividend or distribution by Parent shall relate to such fractional share interests, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights as a stockholder of Parent. Further, no holder of a Company Stock Certificate who otherwise would have been entitled to receive in the Merger a fractional share interest in exchange for such Company Stock Certificate shall have the right to receive cash payment in lieu thereof. In lieu of any such fractional shares or cash payment, (x) any such fractional share interest greater than or equal to one-half of a share (0.5) shall be rounded up to the next whole share number, and (y) any such fractional share less than one-half of a share (0.5) shall be rounded down to the preceding whole share number and the certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger shall reflect such adjustments.

SECTION 2.3 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8 hereof, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall mail or otherwise deliver to each holder of record of a certificate (or certificates) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Stock Certificates”) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Stock Certificate(s) shall pass, only upon delivery of the Company Stock Certificate(s) (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such certificates) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) to the Parent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent reasonably may specify, and (ii) instructions for use thereof in surrendering Company Stock Certificate(s) in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender to the Parent of a Company Stock Certificate in proper form for cancellation, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) a certificate (or certificates) representing such whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock as such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Article II in such denominations and registered in such names as such holder may request. The shares represented by the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement), no interest shall be paid or accrued in respect of any of the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Company Common Stock in accordance with this Article II. The Letter of Transmittal shall provide (A) procedures for holders whose Company Stock Certificates are lost, stolen, or destroyed to receive the Merger Consideration, and (B) procedures for the transfer of ownership of shares of the Company Common Stock that is not registered on the stock transfer books and records of the Company. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.3 and as specified in the Letter of Transmittal, each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed at all times from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock having a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate until the holder shall surrender such Company Stock Certificate as provided in this Section 2.3. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Company Stock Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, in each case without any interest thereon, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions, if any, having a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and not paid, less the amount of all required withholding Taxes in respect thereof, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date subsequent to surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions having a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the date of such surrender and having a payment date subsequent to the date of such surrender and payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, less the amount of all required withholding Taxes in respect thereof.

(c) All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon surrender of Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Article II and as specified in the Letter of Transmittal shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock represented thereby and, as of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books and records of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books and records of the Company of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are properly presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason (but otherwise in accordance with this Article II and as specified in the Letter of Transmittal), they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.3.

SECTION 2.4 Certain Adjustments

(a) If, after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time and to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock and Company Common Stock shall be changed into a different number, class, or series of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, or combination, forward stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, or rights issued in respect of such stock, or any similar event shall occur (any such action, an “Adjustment Event”), the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted correspondingly to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock having the same economic value as contemplated by this Agreement immediately prior to such Adjustment Event and Parent’s payment obligations likewise shall be correspondingly adjusted such that it shall be required to pay and deliver not more than the aggregate Merger Consideration contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Not later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent an audited balance sheet of the Company dated as at June 30, 2005, which balance sheet shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and certified by the chief executive officer of the Company (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). If the total liabilities of the Company reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet (“Actual Closing Liabilities”) are greater than $1.7 million (“Target Closing Liabilities”), the aggregate Merger Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to (i) the difference between Actual Closing Liabilities and Target Closing Liabilities divided by (ii) $0.08. In the case of any such adjustment, the number of Holdback Shares issuuable by Parent after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof shall reduced accordingly. Upon Parent’s request, Company shall provide Parent with copies of all workpapers and other books and records utilized by Company in preparing the Closing Balance Sheet.

SECTION 2.5 Shares of Dissenting Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock that are outstanding as of the Effective Time and that are held by a shareholder who has properly exercised his appraisal rights under Title 23B of the WBCA (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration; provided, however, if any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his right to dissent from the Merger under the WBCA and to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to and subject to the requirements of the WBCA, each share of such holder’s Company Common Stock thereupon shall be deemed to have been converted into and to have become, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the Merger Consideration in accordance with Article II. The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of (i) all demands for appraisal or payment for shares of Company Common Stock received by the Company prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the WBCA, and (ii) any settlement or offer to settle any such demands.

SECTION 2.6 Reserved.

SECTION 2.7 Tax-Free Reorganization. The Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code, and the Parties agree not take any action which could result in the Merger failing to so qualify. The Parties hereto further agree to report the Merger for all purposes as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, and that this Agreement is intended to be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

SECTION 2.8 Holdback. The parties hereto acknowledge that Parent does not presently, and at the Closing will not, have a sufficient number of duly authorized but unissued shares of Parent Common Stock to issue all of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration hereunder. Accordingly, the parties agree that, subject to the rights of Parent under Sections 2.4 and 6.3(f) hereof, fifty-seven million five hundred thousand (57,500,000) shares of Parent Common Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the Parent Re-incorporation Merger, the “Holdback Shares”) out of the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration hereunder shall be withheld from the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration upon the Closing (which shares shall be withheld on a pro rata basis from each Company Shareholder) and shall be issued to the holders of Company Common Stock as of the Closing Date on a pro rata basis not later than ten (10) days following the later of (i) the effective date of the Parent Re-Incorporation Merger or (ii) Parent’s receipt of the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. Thereafter, stock certificates representing the Holdback Shares shall be issued in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to conduct business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or to be in good standing individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

(b) The Company has delivered or made available to Parent prior to the execution of this Agreement complete and correct copies of the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Company and its subsidiaries, each as in effect at the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.2 Subsidiaries.

(b) The Company has delivered to Parent a true and complete list, as of the close of business on the date hereof, of all outstanding Company Stock Options, the number of shares subject to each such Company Stock Option, the grant date, exercise price, term and vesting schedule of each such Company Stock Option and the names of the holders thereof.

(c) All outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and, except as set forth on Section 3.3 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, are not subject to preemptive rights created by statute, the Company’s articles of incorporation (the “Company Articles of Incorporation”) or any agreement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound. Except as set forth in this Section and except for changes since the date of this Agreement resulting from the exercise of Company Stock Options outstanding on such date, there are outstanding (i) no shares of capital stock or other voting securities of the Company, (ii) no securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting securities of the Company, and (iii) no options or other rights to acquire from the Company, and no obligation of the Company to issue, any capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company.

SECTION 3.4 Authority; Noncontravention.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

SECTION 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether or not the Company’s shareholders have approved the Agreement:

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by either Parent or the Company;

(i) if the Merger shall not have been consummated at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, on August 31, 2005, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement results in the failure of the Merger to be consummated by such time and date.

(ii) if any Restraint having any of the effects set forth in Section 7.1(c) shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) (iii) shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry of such Restraint and to have such Restraint vacated or removed;

(iii) if any Governmental Entity that must grant a Requisite Regulatory Approval shall have denied the applicable Requisite Regulatory Approval and such denial shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(c) by Parent, if the Company fails to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval at the Company Shareholders Meeting, and by the Company if Parent fails to obtain Parent’s required (if any) shareholder approval of the transaction contemplated herein;

(d) by Parent, if the Company shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or (b), and (ii) is either incapable of being cured by the Company or, if curable, is not cured within 15 days of receipt from Parent of written notice thereof; or

(e) by the Company, if Parent shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or (b), and (ii) is either incapable of being cured by Parent or, if curable, is not cured within 15 days of receipt from the Company written notice thereof.

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Section 8.1 shall provide written notice of such termination to the other Party in accordance with Section 9.2, specifying in reasonable detail the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.

(f) Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement forthwith shall become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent or the Company; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability (in contract, tort or otherwise, and whether pursuant to an action at law or in equity) for any knowing or willful breach by such Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or in respect of fraud by any Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article VIII, Section 6.1(b), Section 6.4, Section 6.5, Section 6.8, Section 6.9, Section 9.7, Section 9.9 and Section 9.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.2 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time; provided, however, that after receipt of approval by the Company’s shareholders, there shall not be made any amendment that by law requires any further approval by the shareholders of the Company without the further approval of such shareholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all of the Parties to be bound thereby.

SECTION 8.3 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, a Party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) subject to the proviso of Section 8.2, waive compliance by the other Party with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.
