practicable, the parties shall cause a certificate of merger to be filed with
the Secretary of State of California in accordance with the CGCL (the "Merger
Certificates") and shall take all further actions required by law to make the
Merger effective. The Merger will be effective once both Merger Certificates
have been duly filed (the time of effectiveness of the Merger, the "Effective
Time").

of the Surviving Corporation and the provisions of the CGCL.
1.6 Conversion of Stock and Consideration.

action on the part of the parties, the following will occur:
(i) all shares of common stock of Lumalite outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by Lumalite as treasury
stock) will be cancelled and converted into and become the right to receive, in
the aggregate, 17,800,000 shares of ConSil Common Stock, after giving effect to
the reverse stock split contemplated by Section 8.7, to be distributed to the

on Schedule 1.7. The exercise price per share of ConSil Common Stock purchasable
under each such ConSil Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share set
forth on Schedule 1.7. All of the other terms and conditions of each ConSil
Option will be the same in all material respects to the corresponding Lumalite
Option. There will be no acceleration of options as a result of the Merger and
all options will continue to vest on the current schedule. ConSil may grant
Lumalite employees additional options to purchase ConSil stock options under
standard terms of any ConSil stock option and equity incentive plans then in
effect.

Surviving Corporation shall close the stock transfer books of Lumalite and shall
not make any transfers of Lumalite common stock. If, after the Effective Time,
certificates representing shares of Lumalite common stock are presented to the
Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation shall cancel those certificates
and issue in exchange, certificates representing ConSil Common Stock.
1.9 Further Assurances. Lumalite and Stockholders agree that if, at any
time after the Effective Time, ConSil considers or is advised that any further
deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to vest,
perfect or confirm in ConSil or the Surviving Corporation title to any property
or rights of Lumalite as provided herein, ConSil and any of its officers are
hereby authorized by Lumalite to execute and deliver all such proper deeds,
assignments and assurances and do all other things necessary or desirable to
