At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent or Acquisition Corp. or

 the holders of any outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company, Parent or Acquisition Corp.:

(a)        Acquisition Corp. Stock. Each share of common stock of Acquisition Corp. issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, such that, after giving effect to Section 3.1(b) hereof, Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Merger.

(b)        Company Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 3.1(c) hereof, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive one (1) share of Parent Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).

(c)        No Fractional Shares .  No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in, or as a result of, the Merger.  Any fractional share of Parent Common Stock that a record holder of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated.  If a fractional share of Parent Common Stock results from such aggregation, the number of shares required to be issued to such record holder shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock.

            3.2       Surrender and Exchange of Certificates . 

(a)        Letter of Transmittal.  Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each record holder of Company Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (“Letter of Transmittal”), together with instructions for use in effecting the surrender of certificate(s) representing ownership of Company Common Stock, and (ii) an execution copy of the written consent of shareholders of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Written Consent”).

(b)         Exchange Procedures.  Parent shall issue to each former record holder of Company Common Stock, upon delivery to Parent (or a duly authorized agent of Parent) of (i) certificate(s) formerly representing ownership of Company Common Stock endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed stock powers (or an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnification in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent stating that, among other things, the former record holder has lost its, his or her certificate(s) or that such certificate(s) have been destroyed) and (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, a certificate or certificates registered in the name of such former record holder representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such former record holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof.  Subject to Section 3.2(d) hereof, until the certificate(s) (or affidavit) is delivered together with the Letter of Transmittal in the manner contemplated by this Section 3.2(b), each certificate (or affidavit) previously representing ownership of Company Common Stock shall be deemed at and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive Parent

              Common Stock and the former record holders thereof shall cease to have any other rights with respect to its, his or her Company Common Stock.

(c)        Termination of Exchange Process .  Any Parent Common Stock that remains unclaimed by a former record holder of Company Common Stock at the first anniversary of the Effective Time may be deemed “abandoned property” subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws in the State in which the former record holder resides.  None of the Company, Parent, Acquisition Corp. or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any person in respect of any Parent Company Stock delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(d)       Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Shareholder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Chapter 13 of the CGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be entitled to vote for any purpose or receive dividends, shall not be converted into the right to receive Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, and shall only be entitled to receive such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to any such applicable law; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such Shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses its, his or her right to appraisal or otherwise fails to establish the right to be paid the value of such Shareholder’s shares of Company Common Stock under such applicable law, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, and such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be Dissenting Shares.  All negotiations with respect to payment for Dissenting Shares shall be handled jointly by Parent and the Company prior to the Closing and exclusively by Parent thereafter.

(e)        Stock Transfer Books.  At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed and there will be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company.  If, after the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation, these certificates shall be canceled and exchanged for the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which the former record holder may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof.

            3.3       Options, Warrants .

(a)        Common Stock Options.  The Company has issued and outstanding warrants and options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (collectively, the “Common Stock Options”).  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent or Acquisition Corp. or the holders of any outstanding Common Stock Options, Parent shall assume all of the Company’s liabilities, obligations and commitments under each Common Stock Option, including any equity incentive plans of the Company pertaining thereto, and, as a result thereof, each Common

Stock Option shall be converted into the right to acquire one (1) share of Parent Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the exercise price stated in the Common Stock Option, subject in all respects to all other terms and conditions of the Common Stock Option.  Except for the change in security underlying the Common Stock Options from Company Common Stock to Parent Common Stock, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Common Stock Options shall continue after the Effective Time, and that the terms and conditions of the Common Stock Options shall otherwise remain unchanged.

(b)        No Fractional Shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in, or as a result of, the Merger.  Any fractional share of Parent Common Stock that a Person would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the transactions referenced in this Section 3.3 shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock.

3.4       Parent Common Stock .  Parent shall reserve a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock to complete the conversion and exchange of Company Common Stock into Parent Common Stock contemplated by Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof and the issuance of any Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof.  Parent covenants and agrees that immediately prior to the Effective Time there will be no more than 4,500,000 shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding, and that no other common or preferred stock or equity securities of Parent, or any options, warrants, rights or other agreements or instruments convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common or preferred stock or equity securities of Parent, shall be issued or outstanding at the Effective Time.

10.3     Entire Agreement .  This Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the exhibits attached hereto or referred to herein and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the parties, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

10.4     Expenses .  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whether or not the Merger occurs, (i) all expenses and fees incurred by the Company or any shareholder thereof shall be borne solely and entirely by the party that has incurred the same, and (ii) all expenses and fees incurred by Parent and Acquisition Corp., or any shareholder thereof, shall be borne solely and entirely by the party that has incurred the same; provided , that if the Merger occurs, the Surviving Corporation agrees to pay to Xxxxxx X.

10.5     Severability .  If any term or other provision of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will negotiate in good faith to amend or modify this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement, as the case may be, so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

10.6     Successors and Assigns; Assignment .  This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.  Neither this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder or thereunder shall be assigned or delegated by any of the parties prior the Effective Time without, in the case of Parent, the prior written approval of the Company and, in the case of the Company, the prior written approval of Parent.

10.7     No Third Party Beneficiaries .  Except as set forth in Section 10.6 , nothing herein expressed or implied shall be construed to give any person other than the parties (and their successors and assigns as permitted herein) any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

10.8     Counterparts; Delivery by Facsimile/E-Mail .  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, and by the different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.  This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed

version thereof delivered in person.  At the request of any party hereto or to any of the Ancillary Agreements, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties.  No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

10.9     Waiver .  At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other party; (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and breaches of the warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (iii) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.

10.10   No Constructive Waivers .  No failure or delay on the part of any party in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.  No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

10.11   Further Assurances .  The parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments or documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

10.12   Recitals .  The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein and, by this reference, are made part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.

10.13   Headings .  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.14   Governing Law .  This Agreement and the agreements, instruments and documents contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

10.15   Dispute Resolution .  The parties shall initially attempt to resolve all claims, disputes or controversies arising under, out of or in connection with this Agreement by conducting good faith negotiations amongst themselves.  If the parties are unable to resolve the matter following good faith negotiations, the matter shall thereafter be resolved by binding arbitration and each party hereby waives any right it may otherwise have to the resolution

of such matter by any means other than binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.15.  Whenever a party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall provide written notice to that effect to the other parties.  The party giving such notice shall, however, refrain from instituting the arbitration proceedings for a period of sixty (60) days following such notice.  During this period, the parties shall make good faith efforts to amicably resolve the claim, dispute or controversy without arbitration.  Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in the English language under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Orange County, California by a panel of three arbitrators:  one arbitrator shall be appointed by each of Parent and Company; and the third shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association.  The panel of arbitrators shall have the authority to grant specific performance.  Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.  In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the claim, dispute or controversy in question would be barred under this Agreement or by the applicable statute of limitations.  The prevailing party in any arbitration in accordance with this Section 10.15 shall be entitled to recover from the other party, in addition to any other remedies specified in the award, all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party to arbitrate the claim, dispute or controversy.
