GMHC would be the surviving corporation. The transactions described in this
Agreement are subject to the approvals of the shareholders of GMHC and the

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.1 THE MERGER. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time QL 3000 or a wholly owned
subsidiary of QL 3000 will be merged with and into GMHC in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the URBCA. GMHC shall be the Surviving
Corporation resulting from the merger and shall continue to be governed by
the laws of the State of Utah. Alternatively, at QL 3000's option, GMHC will
enter into the Agreement and Plan of Merger attached hereto as Exhibit A
providing for the merger of two of its subsidiaries with and into QL 3000 or
its designee and this Agreement will be terminated.

1.2 ACTIONS BY GMHC; STOCKHOLDERS MEETING; PROXY STATEMENT.

1.2.1 GMHC hereby approves of and consents to the Merger
and represents and warrants that the GMHC Board, at a meeting duly called and
held on March 5, 1999 has (i) determined that this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, are fair to and in
the best interests of

GMHC's stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Merger, and (iii) resolved to recommend
that the stockholders of GMHC, if required by applicable law, approve the
transactions contemplated hereby. GMHC has been advised by each of its
directors that each such person has agreed, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, to take all action necessary or advisable in
support of the Merger, to vote all Shares owned by such person in favor of
the Merger and to sell to QL 3000 all such Shares.

1.2.2 If required by applicable law in order to
consummate the Merger, GMHC will, in accordance with applicable law and
GMHC's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, call and hold a special meeting
of its stockholders (the "Stockholders' Meeting") as soon as practicable for
the purpose of approving the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the GMHC Board will recommend to its stockholders that the
Merger be approved, and, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, GMHC will use its best efforts to solicit from its stockholders
proxies in favor of the approval of the Merger, and will take all other
action necessary or advisable to secure the requisite vote or consent of
stockholders.

1.2.3 GMHC will prepare and file a preliminary proxy
statement to solicit Stockholder Approval (the "Proxy Statement") with the
SEC and will use its best efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or
its staff and to cause the Proxy Statement, as finalized, to be mailed to
GMHC's stockholders as promptly as practicable after responding to all such
comments to the satisfaction of the staff; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that GMHC shall
not be required to prepare and file such proxy statement until (i) a bona
fide commitment letter from one or more lenders with respect to the Merger
Consideration has been issued to QL 3000 and delivered to GMHC and (ii) QL
3000 elects the form of Agreement and Plan of Merger in accordance with
Section 1.1 of this Agreement. QL 3000 will provide to GMHC in writing all
information regarding QL 3000 necessary for the preparation of the Proxy
Statement. GMHC will notify QL 3000 promptly of the receipt of any comments
from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for
amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional
information and will supply QL 3000 with copies of all correspondence between
GMHC or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its
staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Merger.
If at any time before the Stockholders' Meeting there occurs any event that
should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement,
GMHC will promptly prepare and mail to its stockholders such an amendment or
supplement. GMHC will not mail any Proxy Statement, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, to which QL 3000 reasonably objects. The Proxy Statement
will include the GMHC Board's recommendation that GMHC's stockholders grant
proxies to approve the Merger; provided, however, that such recommendation
may be withdrawn, modified, or amended if and to the extent the GMHC Board
determines, in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel, that
a failure to do so would be contrary to its fiduciary obligations.

1.3 EFFECTIVE TIME. As soon as practicable after satisfaction or
waiver of all of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article 6 of this
Agreement, a Certificate of Merger prepared in accordance with applicable law
(the "Certificate of Merger") will be executed and filed with the Secretaries

the later of the date and at the time (the "Effective Time") when the
Certificate of Merger has been accepted for filing by the Secretaries of
State of the States of Florida and Utah. The day during which the Effective
Time occurs is referred to herein as the "Effective Date."

owned subsidiary of QL 3000 will be merged with and into GMHC in the manner
and with the effect provided by the URBCA, the separate corporate existence

GMHC and QL 3000 or its subsidiary, as the case may be, will be a single
corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") and will continue to be governed by
the laws of the State of Utah.

1.5 ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. The Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of GMHC as in effect at the Effective Time will be

each has been duly amended in accordance with the terms thereof and of the
URBCA.

1.6 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The directors of QL 3000 at the
Effective Time will be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until
their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and
qualified. The officers of QL 3000 at the Effective Time will be the officers
of the Surviving Corporation and will hold office from the Effective Time in
accordance with the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.7 CLOSING. Unless this Agreement has been terminated and the

the closing of the Merger (the "Closing") will take place at the offices of

ARTICLE 2

MERGER CONSIDERATION

2.1 EFFECT OF MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK OF CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS.
As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on
the part of QL 3000, GMHC or the holders of any Shares:

2.1.1 CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION OF GMHC CAPITAL STOCK.

(a) Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than Shares to be canceled in accordance with
Section 2.1.2 and Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) will be
converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation a
cash payment in the amount of $1.00 (the "Merger Consideration"). As of
the Effective Time, all of the Shares will no longer be outstanding and
will automatically be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and
each holder of a certificate representing any such Shares (other than
Shares referred to in Section 2.1.2 and Dissenting Shares (as defined
below)) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the
right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest.

(b) As of the Effective Date, all shares of GMHC Series C
Preferred Stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be
canceled and retired and will cease to exist and each holder of a
certificate representing any such preferred stock will cease to have
any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the
liquidation price of $100.00 per share plus an amount equal to any
unpaid cumulative dividends (whether or not declared), if any, without
interest, to the Effective Date.

2.1.2 CANCELLATION OF STOCK. Each issued and outstanding
Share that is held in the treasury of GMHC or held by any direct or indirect
subsidiary of GMHC and each issued and outstanding Share held by QL 3000 or
held by any direct or indirect subsidiary of QL 3000 immediately before the
conversion pursuant to Section 2.1.1 will automatically be canceled and
retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in
exchange therefor.

2.1.3 XXXXXXX XXXXX XX XX 0000. Immediately following the
Effective Time the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of QL 3000,
$.01 par value per share, will be converted into a like number of shares of
GMHC Common Stock without any further action on the part of the holders
thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of GMHC
Common Stock and will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of
the Surviving Corporation.

2.1.4 WITHHOLDING TAX. The right of any stockholder to
receive the Merger Consideration will be subject to and reduced by the amount
of any required tax withholding obligation.

2.1.5 SHARES OF DISSENTING STOCKHOLDERS. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any shareholder of GMHC who
has not voted such Shares in favor of or consented to the Merger and who is
entitled to dissent from the Merger and require appraisal for his or her
Shares under applicable law (a "Dissenting Stockholder") and complies with
all the provisions thereof concerning the right of holders

of Shares to dissent from the Merger and require appraisal of their Shares
("Dissenting Shares") then such Dissenting Shares will not be converted as
described in Section 2.1.1 but will represent only the right to receive such
consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder
pursuant to applicable law. If, after the Effective Time, such Dissenting
Stockholder (if any) withdraws his or her demand for appraisal or fails to
perfect or otherwise loses his or her right of appraisal, in any case
pursuant to applicable law, each of his or her Shares will be deemed to be
converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration. GMHC will give QL 3000 (i) prompt notice of any demands for
appraisal of Shares received by GMHC and (ii) the opportunity to participate
in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such
demands. GMHC will not, without the prior written consent of QL 3000, make
any payment with respect to, or settle, offer to settle, or otherwise
negotiate, any such demands except as required by applicable law.

2.2 EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.

2.2.1 PAYING AGENT. Before the Effective Time, QL 3000
and GMHC will designate a mutually acceptable bank or trust company to act as
paying agent in the Merger (the "Paying Agent"). From time to time on, before
or after the Effective Time, QL 3000 will make available, or cause the
Surviving Corporation to make available, to the Paying Agent funds in amounts
and at the times necessary for the payment of the Merger Consideration for
each share entitled to payment under Section 2.2.1 upon surrender of
certificates representing such Shares, it being understood that any and all
interest earned on funds made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to this
Agreement will be turned over to QL 3000.

2.2.2 EXCHANGE PROCEDURE. As soon as reasonably
practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent will mail to each
holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately before the
Effective Time represented Shares (the "Certificates"), (i) a notice
(advising the holders that the Merger has become effective) and a letter of
transmittal in customary and appropriate form (which will specify that
delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates
will pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent)
and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates
in exchange for the Merger Consideration per share. Upon surrender of a
Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or
agents as may be appointed by QL 3000, together with such letter of
transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other customary
documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of
such Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount
of cash into which the Shares theretofore represented by such Certificate
have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Certificate so
surrendered will be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of
Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of GMHC, payment may be
made to a Person (as defined in Section 2.2.4 below) other than the Person in
whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate
is properly endorsed

or otherwise is in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such
payment pays any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to
a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establishes
to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid
or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section
2.2.2, each Certificate will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time
to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger
Consideration, without interest, into which the Shares theretofore
represented by such Certificate will have been converted pursuant to Section
2.1.1. No interest will be paid or will accrue on the cash payable upon the
surrender of any Certificate.

2.2.3 NO FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN GMHC COMMON STOCK.
All cash paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms
of Sections 2.1 will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all
rights pertaining to the Shares theretofore represented by such Certificates.
At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of GMHC will be closed, and
there will be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer
books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding
immediately before the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time,
Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent
for any reason, they will be canceled and exchanged as provided in
Section 2.1.

2.2.4 NO LIABILITY. None of QL 3000, GMHC, the Surviving
Corporation or the Paying Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of
any cash or security delivered to a public official pursuant to any
applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar law. As used in this
Agreement, the term "Person" means any individual, corporation, general
partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture,
trust, cooperative or other association, Governmental Entity (as defined in
Section 3.2(b) below), or any other organization.

2.2.5 LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. In the
event that any Certificate has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the
making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate
to be lost, stolen, or destroyed, GMHC will issue in exchange for such lost,
stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration deliverable in
respect thereof as determined in accordance with this Agreement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that GMHC may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent
to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed
Certificate to indemnify GMHC or to give GMHC a bond in such sum as it may
reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against
GMHC with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or
destroyed.

and all outstanding warrants to purchase GMHC common stock, which agreement
provides that, immediately after the Effective Date, each option or warrant
that is then outstanding, whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall be
canceled by GMHC, and each holder of a canceled option or warrant shall be
entitled to receive from GMHC as of the Effective Time, in consideration for
the cancellation of such option or warrant, an amount in cash equal to the
product of (i) the number of Shares previously subject to such option or
warrant, and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the
exercise price per Share previously subject to such option or warrant,
reduced by any applicable withholding. In any event as of the Effective Time
all such Stock Option Plans, options issued pursuant thereto and outstanding
warrants shall be cancelled and of no further effect.

2.4 RELEASE OF GMHC STOCKHOLDER OBLIGATIONS. On or before the
Effective Date, QL 3000 shall cause to be released or cancelled the GMHC
stockholder guarantees and letters of credit described in Schedule 2.4
attached hereto.

2.5 PAYMENT OF FEES. On the Effective Date, QL 3000 shall cause
all outstanding and unpaid legal, accounting and investment banking fees
incurred by GMHC in connection with the Merger to be paid in full by QL 3000
or the Surviving Corporation. The total legal, accounting and investment
banking fees incurred by GMHC in connection with the merger subsequent to
September 30, 1998 shall not exceed $435,000.

2.6 REPAYMENT OF ADVANCES. On the Effective Date, QL 3000 shall
cause the Surviving Corporation to repay all amounts advanced to GMHC by
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx Exploration and its affiliates described
in Schedule 2.6 attached hereto.

established, maintained, or contributed to by GMHC that are currently in

(within the meaning of Sections 3(1) and 3(2) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")) established and maintained
by GMHC that are subject to ERISA are listed separately as ERISA Plans on the
Disclosure Schedule (the "ERISA Plans"). The ERISA Plans comply in all
material respects with the applicable requirements of ERISA and any other

qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, GMHC has received from the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") a favorable determination for each of the ERISA Plans
that each of the ERISA Plans is qualified. There has been no event subsequent

such ERISA Plan that has been terminated, any legally-required notices to
employees and to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (if applicable)
have been

provided as required, all other legally-required actions have been taken to
accomplish the termination, and a favorable IRS determination letter has been

received, there has been no event or absence of a necessary action that would
prevent the issuance of a favorable determination letter on the termination
in due course. No accumulated funding deficiency as defined in Section
302(a)(2) of ERISA or Section 412(a) of the Code exists, with respect to any
of the ERISA Plans. Neither GMHC nor a controlled group of corporations of
which GMHC is a member have any actual or potential withdrawal liability, as
defined in Section 4201 and related provisions of ERISA. To the knowledge of
GMHC, none of the ERISA Plans, their related trusts or any trustee,
investment manager or administrator thereof has engaged in a nonexempt
prohibited transaction, as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code. There are not and have not been any excess
deferrals or excess contributions as defined in Code Sections 401(k)(8)(B)
and 402(g)(2)(a) under any ERISA Plan that have not been corrected. Each
ERISA Plan is, and to the knowledge of GMHC has been, operated and
administered in all material respects in conformance with the requirements of
all applicable laws and regulations, whether or not the ERISA Plan documents
have been amended to reflect such requirements. Except as set forth in the
Disclosure Schedule, GMHC has no obligation of any kind (whether under the
terms of the ERISA Plans or under any understanding with employees) to make
payments under, or to pay contributions to, any plan, agreement, or other
arrangement for deferred compensation of employees, whether or not tax
qualified, including, without limitation, a single employer tax qualified

affiliate of QL 3000 ("Newco") pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (such merger, as described in more detail in Article 2 below, the
"Merger"). The transactions described in this Agreement are subject to the
approvals of the shareholders of GMHC and the satisfaction of certain other
conditions described in this Agreement.

X. Xxxxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxxx, each a stockholder of GMHC, have agreed to (i)
vote all of their respective shares of GMHC capital stock (common and
preferred) in favor of the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.1 THE MERGER. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time GMI and GMP will be
merged with and into Newco in accordance with applicable law. Newco shall be
the surviving entity, resulting from the merger and its equity interests
shall remain outstanding as the sole equity interests of the surviving entity.

1.2 ACTIONS BY GMHC; STOCKHOLDERS MEETING; PROXY STATEMENT.

1.2.1 GMHC hereby approves of and consents to the Merger and
represents and warrants that the GMHC Board, at a meeting duly called and
held on March 5, 1999 unanimously has (i) determined that this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, are fair to and
in the best interests of

1.2.2 If required by applicable law in order to consummate the
Merger, GMHC will, in accordance with applicable law and GMHC's Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws, call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders
(the "Stockholders' Meeting") as soon as practicable for the purpose of
approving the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the GMHC Board will recommend to its stockholders that the Merger be
approved, and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, GMHC
will use its best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor
of the approval of the Merger, and will take all other action necessary or
advisable to secure the requisite vote or consent of stockholders.

1.2.3 GMHC will prepare and file a preliminary proxy statement to
solicit Stockholder Approval (the "Proxy Statement") with the SEC and will
use its best efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff and
to cause the Proxy Statement, as finalized, to be mailed to GMHC's
stockholders as promptly as practicable after responding to all such comments
to the satisfaction of the staff; provided, however, that GMHC shall not be
required to prepare and file such proxy statement until a bona fide
commitment letter from one or more lenders with respect to the Merger
Consideration has been issued to QL 3000 and delivered to GMHC. QL 3000 will
provide to GMHC in writing all information regarding QL 3000 necessary for
the preparation of the Proxy Statement. GMHC will notify QL 3000 promptly of
the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by
the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or
for additional information and will supply QL 3000 with copies of all
correspondence between GMHC or any of its representatives, on the one hand,
and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy
Statement or the Merger. If at any time before the Stockholders' Meeting
there occurs any event that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement
to the Proxy Statement, GMHC will promptly prepare and mail to its
stockholders such an amendment or supplement. GMHC will not mail any Proxy
Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, to which QL 3000
reasonably objects. The Proxy Statement will include the GMHC Board's
recommendation that GMHC's stockholders grant proxies to approve the Merger;
provided, however, that such recommendation may be withdrawn, modified, or
amended if and to the extent the GMHC Board determines, in good faith after
consultation with outside legal counsel, that a failure to do so would be
contrary to its fiduciary obligations.

1.2.4 Prior to the Merger, GMHC shall (i) contribute all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Grease Monkey de Mexico SA de CV
("GMM") to GMI, (ii) if necessary for the Merger, cause GMI and GMP to be
reincorporated under Florida law as Florida corporations and (iii) cause GMI
and GMP to adopt articles of merger in form and substance acceptable to QL
3000.

1.3 EFFECTIVE TIME. As soon as practicable after satisfaction or
waiver of all of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article 6 of this
Agreement, a Certificate of Merger prepared in accordance with applicable law
(the "Certificate of Merger") will be executed and filed with the Secretaries
of State of the appropriate states. The Merger will be effective on the
later of the date and at the time (the "Effective Time") when the Certificate
of Merger has been accepted for filing by such Secretaries of State. The day
during which the Effective Time occurs is referred to herein as the
"Effective Date."

1.4 EFFECT OF MERGER. At the Effective Time, GMI and GMP will be
merged with and into Newco in the manner and with the effect provided by
applicable law, the issued and outstanding capital stock of GMI and GMP shall
be cancelled, the separate corporate existence of GMI and GMP will cease and
thereupon GMI, GMP and Newco will be a single entity and will continue to be
governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

1.5 ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. The Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws or other constituent documents of Newco as in effect
at the Effective Time will be the constituent documents of the surviving
entity.

1.6 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The directors, officers or managers of
Newco at the Effective Time will be the directors, officers or managers of
the surviving entity.

ARTICLE 2

MERGER CONSIDERATION

2.1 EFFECT OF MERGER ON GMHC.

2.1.1 MERGER CONSIDERATION. As of the Effective Time (or at a
later time within three business days of a request by GMHC), in consideration
of the Xxxxxx, XX 0000 or Newco shall pay or cause to be paid to GMHC an
amount equal to:

(a) $1.00 (the "Liquidation Distribution") for each Share issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares
held in the treasury of GMHC, shares held by any direct or indirect
subsidiary of GMHC or Dissenting Shares);

(b) $100.00 per share for GMHC's Series C Preferred Stock, the
liquidation preference, plus an amount equal to any unpaid cumulative
dividends (whether or not declared), if any, without interest, to the
Effective Date;

(d) the amount required to satisfy all GMHC liabilities and other
claims of creditors pursuant to the plan of liquidation adopted by GMHC
pursuant to Section 2.1.4 of this Agreement and to assure that the
shareholders of GMHC receive the same after tax net consideration as if QL
3000 was merged with and into GMHC.

The aggregate amount of such payments shall constitute the "Merger
Consideration."

2.1.2 WITHHOLDING TAX. The right of any stockholder to receive
any portion of the Merger Consideration will be subject to and reduced by the
amount of any required tax withholding obligation.

2.1.3 SHARES OF DISSENTING STOCKHOLDERS. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any shareholder of GMHC who
has not voted his or her Shares in favor of or consented to the Merger and
who is entitled to dissent from the Merger and require appraisal for his or
her Shares under applicable law (a "Dissenting Stockholder") and complies
with all the provisions thereof concerning the right of holders of Shares to
dissent from the Merger and require appraisal of his or her Shares
("Dissenting Shares") then such Dissenting Shares will represent only the
right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such
Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to applicable law. If, after the Effective
Time, such Dissenting Stockholder (if

any) withdraws his or her demand for appraisal or fails to perfect or
otherwise loses his or her right of appraisal, in any case pursuant to
applicable law, each of his or her Shares will be deemed to be outstanding
and entitled to the Liquidation Distribution upon the same terms as other
Shares. GMHC will give QL 3000 (i) prompt notice of any demands for
appraisal of Shares received by GMHC and (ii) the opportunity to participate
in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such
demands. GMHC will not, without the prior written consent of QL 3000, make
any payment with respect to, or settle, offer to settle, or otherwise
negotiate, any such demands except as required by applicable law.

2.1.4 LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION OF GMHC. Following the Merger,
GMHC shall be liquidated and dissolved on the following terms:

(a) GMHC shall adopt a plan of liquidation providing for the
satisfaction of (i) all liabilities and other claims of creditors, (ii) the
redemption of GMHC's Series C Preferred Stock and (iii) the termination of
all outstanding options and warrants;

(b) as of the Effective Time, all of the Shares will no longer be
outstanding and will automatically be canceled and retired and will cease
to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such Shares
(other than Shares held in the treasury of GMHC, Shares held by any direct
or indirect subsidiary of GMHC and Dissenting Shares) will cease to have
any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the

2.2.1 PAYING AGENT. Before the Effective Time, QL 3000 and GMHC
will designate a mutually acceptable bank or trust company to act as paying
agent in the liquidation of GMHC (the "Paying Agent"). From time to time on,
before or after the Effective Time, QL 3000 will make available, or cause
Newco to make available, to the Paying Agent funds in amounts and at the
times necessary for the payment of the Liquidation Distribution for each
share entitled to payment under Section 2.2.1 upon surrender of certificates
representing such Shares, it being understood that any and all interest
earned on funds made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement
will be turned over to QL 3000.

after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent will mail to each holder of record
of a certificate or

certificates that immediately before the Effective Time represented Shares
(the "Certificates"), (i) a notice (advising the holders that the Merger has
become effective) and a letter of transmittal in customary and appropriate
form (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and
title to the Certificates will pass, only upon proper delivery of the
Certificates to the Paying Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting
the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Liquidation
Distribution. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying
Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by QL 3000,
together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly

surrendered will be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of
Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of GMHC, payment may be
made to a Person (as defined in Section 2.2.4 below) other than the Person in
whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate

reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such
Certificate or establishes to the satisfaction of Newco that such tax has
been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this
Section 2.2.2, each Certificate will be deemed at any time after the
Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the
Liquidation Distribution, without interest. No interest will be paid or will
accrue on the cash payable upon the surrender of any Certificate.

2.2.3 NO FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN GMHC COMMON STOCK. All cash
paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof
will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to the Shares theretofore represented by such Certificates. At
the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of GMHC will be closed, and
there will be no further registration of transfers. If, after the Effective
Time, Certificates are presented to Newco or the Paying Agent for any reason,
they will be canceled as provided in Section 2.1.4 and exchanged as provided
in Section 2.2.2.

2.2.4 NO LIABILITY. None of QL 3000, GMHC, Newco or the Paying
Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of any cash or security
delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property,
escheat, or similar law. As used in this Agreement, the term "Person" means

condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost,
stolen, or destroyed Certificate to indemnify GMHC or to give GMHC a bond in
such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may
be made against GMHC with respect to the certificate alleged to have been
lost, stolen, or destroyed.

further effect.
