PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
WITH PROXY
This PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT WITH PROXY ("AGREEMENT") is made and
entered into and given as of this ___ day of March, 2003, by, between and among,
BECOR COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("BCI"), on the one hand, and
the undersigned shareholder ("SHAREHOLDER") of ENHANCE LIFESCIENCES, INC., a
Delaware corporation ("XXXX"), on the other hand, with respect to the following;
R E C I T A L S
A. BCI and XXXX have entered into an acquisition agreement (the
"ACQUISITION AGREEMENT") which sets forth terms and conditions for the
acquisition by BCI of all of the outstanding common shares of XXXX (the "XXXX
Shares") in exchange for a total of 14,516,000 newly issued shares of BCI common
stock (the "BCI Shares"). All capitalized terms appearing in this AGREEMENT
which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the
ACQUISITION AGREEMENT.
B. As a condition to the Closing of the Acquisition, the ACQUISITION
AGREEMENT requires that each of the shareholders of XXXX execute a Purchase and
Sale Agreement in the form of this AGREEMENT, signifying such shareholder's
agreement to subscribe for and receive BCI Shares in exchange for all of the
XXXX Shares owned by such shareholder.
C. The SHAREHOLDER is a shareholder of XXXX who owns that number of XXXX
Shares which is set forth on the signature page of this AGREEMENT. The
SHAREHOLDER and BCI mutually desire to enter into this AGREEMENT for the
purposes contemplated by the ACQUISITION AGREEMENT.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained,
the parties agree as follows:
1. SALE AND PURCHASE OF XXXX SHARES. On the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein and in the ACQUISITION AGREEMENT, the SHAREHOLDER
hereby agrees to sell to BCI, and BCI agrees to purchase from the SHAREHOLDER,
all of the XXXX Shares owned by the SHAREHOLDER.
2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF BCI SHARES. On the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein and in the ACQUISITION AGREEMENT, the SHAREHOLDER
hereby agrees to purchase from BCI, and BCI agrees to sell to the SHAREHOLDER,
that number of the BCI Shares which is determined as follows:
132
2.1 Calculation of Exchange Ratio. The number of BCI Shares to be
issued to each of the XXXX Shareholders for their respective XXXX Shares shall
be calculated in accordance with the formula in Section 2.2, using an exchange
ratio of 0.7258 (the "Exchange Ratio"). The Exchange Ratio was derived by
dividing the total number of BCI Shares to be issued (14,516,000) by the total
number of XXXX Shares to be delivered to BCI (20,000,000). In so doing, BCI
shall round the result to the nearest whole number (subject to other reasonable
adjustments needed to maintain the total number of BCI Shares to be issued is
14,516,000). No fractional shares of BCI common stock shall be issued in
connection with the Acquisition.
2.2 As part of the consideration for the ACQUISITION AGREEMENT and
this AGREEMENT, SHAREHOLDER shall execute the attached Irrevocable Limited Proxy
("PROXY"), attached as Exhibit "A", and return it to BCI with the executed copy
of this AGREEMENT. If, for any reason SHAREHOLDER fails to sign and deliver the
PROXY, but does sign, return and or deliver this AGREEMENT to BCI, then BCI
shall be entitled to use a signed copy of this AGREEMENT as irrevocable approval
and authority to vote the SHAREHOLDER's shares in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the PROXY.
2.3 SHAREHOLDER acknowledges and understands that SHAREHOLDER's
rights are subject to terms and conditions contained in the ACQUISITION
AGREEMENT and related documents.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SHAREHOLDER. Unless the context
otherwise requires, all references in this section to BCI Shares shall mean

AGREEMENT. The SHAREHOLDER hereby represents and warrants to BCI that:

in violation of the Securities Act.
4.2 Access to Information. The SHAREHOLDER acknowledges that he/she/it has
received a copy of the ACQUISITION AGREEMENT, and a copy of BCI's annual report

them carefully and understands that the purchase of the BCI Shares is a high

organizational documents, if applicable, and will not result in a breach or
default under any statute or agreement to which the SHAREHOLDER is bound.

investment in the BCI Shares, the SHAREHOLDER has not relied upon BCI or its
advisers for legal or tax advice, and has, if desired, in all cases sought the
