AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of July 14, 2020 (the "Agreement"),
is by and among Rainmaker Worldwide Inc., a Nevada corporation ("the "Company"),
Sphere 3D Corp., an Ontario corporation ("Parent"), and S3D Nevada Inc., a
Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub").

WHEREAS, each of the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and
the Company have approved the business combination between the Company and
Parent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in furtherance thereof, the Board of Directors of each of Parent,
Merger Sub and the Company have approved this Agreement and the merger of Merger
Sub with and into the Company (the "Merger") so that the Company continues as
the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes referred to in such capacity
as the "Surviving Corporation"), upon the terms of and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of the Nevada
Business Corporation Act (the "NCA");

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Parent has determined to recommend to its
shareholders the approval of this Agreement and the Merger;

WHEREAS, Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, has adopted and approved
this Agreement and the Merger, and the Board of Directors of Parent has
authorized the issuance of common shares of the Parent (the "Parent Common
Shares") and preferred shares of the Parent (the "Parent Preferred Shares" and,
together with the Parent Common Shares, the "Parent Shares") in connection with
this Agreement (the "Parent Share Issuance");

WHEREAS, for United States federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the
Merger shall (i) qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and (ii) to
not result in gain being recognized under Section 367(a)(1) of the Code (other
than for any stockholder that would be a "five-percent transferee shareholder"
(within the meaning of United States Treasury Regulations Section
1.367(a)-3(c)(5)(ii)) of the Company following the Merger that does not enter
into a five-year gain recognition agreement in the form provided in United
States Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8(c)) (the "Intended Tax Treatment"), and
this Agreement is intended to be, and is adopted as, a "plan of reorganization"
for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and
agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain
conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
The Merger

1.1 The Merger.  Upon the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement, and in accordance with the NCA, at the Effective Time, Merger
Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence
of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the Surviving
Corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and shall succeed and assume
all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub in
accordance with the NCA.

1.2 Closing.  The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place at
10:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on a date to be specified by the parties,
which shall be no later than the second Business Day after satisfaction or
waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than delivery of
items to be delivered at the Closing and other than those conditions that by
their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, it being understood that the
occurrence of the Closing shall remain subject to the delivery of such items and
the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) at the offices of
Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP, 1185 6th Ave f37, New York, NY 10036, unless another
time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Closing or the Effective Time occur prior to
the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in Article VII  of this Agreement. 
The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the "Closing
Date." A "Business Day" means any day except any Saturday, any Sunday, any day
which is a federal legal holiday in the United States or a statutory holiday in
the Province of Ontario, Canada or any day on which banking institutions in the
State of Nevada or in the Province of Ontario, Canada are authorized or required
by law or other governmental action to close.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.3 Effective Time.  Upon the terms of and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall cause
the Merger to be consummated by filing an agreement of merger executed in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the NCA (the "Nevada Merger
Agreement") with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the "Nevada
Secretary of State") and shall make all other filings or recordings required
under the NCA required to effect the Merger.  The Merger shall become effective
at such time as the Nevada Merger Agreement is duly filed with the Nevada
Secretary of State, or at such subsequent date or time as the Company and Parent
shall agree and specify in the Nevada Merger Agreement.  The date and time at
which the Merger becomes effective as set forth in the Nevada Merger Agreement
is referred to herein as the "Effective Time."

1.4 Effects of the Merger.  At the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the
effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the
NCA.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at
the Effective Time, all the rights, properties, privileges, powers and
franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving
Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub
shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation in
the same manner as if the Surviving Corporation had itself incurred them.

1.5 Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation.  At the Effective
Time, the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws (the
"Organizational Documents") shall be amended and restated in their entirety to
be in forms that are mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Company in their
reasonable judgment, and such amended Company Organizational Documents shall be
the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (the
"Surviving Organizational Documents") until thereafter amended in accordance
with the NCA and as provided in such Surviving Organizations Documents.  After
the Effective Time, the authorized capital stock of the Surviving Corporation
shall consist of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value,
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, 0.001 par value, 6,000,000 of which have
been designated as Series A Preferred Stock

1.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.  The directors and
officers of Merger Sub shall be, from and after the Effective Time, the
directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are
duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal
in accordance with the Surviving Organizational Documents and the NCA. The
Parties will agree to the composition of the final board prior to the filing of
the joint Proxy/ Prospectus /Information Statement.

1.7 Governance of Parent.  The Company, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving
Corporation shall take all actions necessary so that the matters set forth on
Exhibit A occur on the Closing Date.

1.8 Tax Consequences.  It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger
shall qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment for all relevant Tax purposes and
the parties shall not take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax filing
or proceeding. In the event the parties determine that the Merger may not
qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code,
they will cooperate in restructuring the transaction, to the extent reasonably
possible, to cause the Merger to so qualify.

"Tax" (and, with correlative meaning, "Taxes") means (i) any federal, state,
provincial, local or foreign net income, alternative or add-on minimum, gross
income, gross receipts, sales, use, ad valorem, transfer, franchise, profits,

any such tax (domestic or foreign), whether disputed or not, (ii) any Liability
for the payment of any amounts of the type described in clause (i) of this
sentence as a result of being a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined,
unitary or aggregate group for any Tax period, and (iii) any Liability for the
payment of any amounts of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of this

contract or otherwise.

ARTICLE II
Effects of the Merger; Exchange of Certificates

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holders of any shares
of common stock, no par value, of the Company ("Company Common Stock") or the
holders of any shares of preferred stock of the Company ("Company Preferred
Stock" and, together with the Company Common Stock, the "Company Stock"):

(a) Company Stock.  Every share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into
and represent the right to receive 1/3rd of one fully paid and nonassessable
Parent Common Share (the "Common Exchange Ratio") upon surrender of the Common
Certificate or Uncertificated Common Shares which immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented such share of Company Common Stock in the manner
provided in Section 2.2(b) (or, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed
Common Certificate, Section 2.2(i)).  Each share of Company Preferred Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
automatically be converted into and represent the right to receive 1/3rd of one
fully paid and nonassessable Parent Preferred Share (the "Preferred Exchange
Ratio" and, together with the Common Exchange Ratio, the "Exchange Ratios" and
each, an "Exchange Ratio") upon surrender of the Preferred Certificate or
Uncertificated Preferred Shares in the manner provided in Section 2.2(b) (or, in
the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Preferred Certificate, Section 2.2(i)).
The Parent Common Shares and Parent Preferred Shares to be issued to holders of
Company Common Stock and holders of Company Preferred Stock, respectively,
pursuant to this Agreement, together with any cash to be paid to such holders in
lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(e), are referred to as the
"Merger Consideration".  As a result of the Merger, at the Effective Time, each
holder of a Common Certificate or a Preferred Certificate, as the case may be,
shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive
the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company
Common Stock represented by such Common Certificate or the shares of Company
Preferred Stock represented by such Preferred Certificate, as the case may be,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, any cash in lieu of fractional shares
payable pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and any dividends or other distributions
payable pursuant to Section 2.2(d), all to be issued or paid, without interest,
in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance
with Section 2.2(b) (or, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate,
Section 2.2(i)). 

(b) Capital Stock of Merger Sub.  Each issued and outstanding share of common
stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Merger Sub shall be cancelled upon
consummation of the Merger. 

(c) Company Options.  Prior to the Effective Time, all issued and outstanding
options to purchase Company Common Stock ("Company Options") whether vested or
unvested in accordance with their terms shall terminate as provided in Section
6.10.

(d) Company Warrants.  At the Effective Time, and in accordance with the terms
of each warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock ("Company Warrants")
that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent
shall issue a replacement warrant to each holder thereof providing that such
replacement warrant shall be exercisable for a number of Parent Common Shares
equal to the product of 1/3 the aggregate number of shares of Company Common
Stock issuable in respect of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the
Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (the "Replacement Warrants"). 
Each Replacement Warrant shall contain appropriate provision such that the
provisions of each Company Warrant (including the exercise period and the
exercise price and provision for adjustment of the exercise price) shall
thereafter be maintained in each such Replacement Warrant as nearly equivalent
as may be practicable in relation to such Company Warrant except that the
exercise price shall be multiplied by 3 to reflect the Exchange Ratio.  From and
after the Effective Time, Parent shall comply with all of the terms and
conditions set forth in each such Replacement Warrant, including the obligation
to issue the Parent Common Shares contemplated thereby upon exercise thereof.
Set forth on Schedule 3.3 is a schedule of all outstanding Company Warrants.

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e) Fractional Shares.  No fraction of a Parent Common Share or a Parent
Preferred Share will be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu thereof, any
fraction of a Parent Common Share shares of Company Common Stock or Company
Preferred Stock, respectively, that would otherwise have been issued to a holder
(after aggregating all fractional Parent Common Shares that otherwise would be
received by such holder) or a fraction of a Parent Preferred Share (after
aggregating all fractional Parent Preferred Shares that otherwise would be
received by such holder), respectively, that would otherwise have been issued to
a holder shall be cancelled without payment, interest or any other compensation
of any kind.

(f) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio.  Notwithstanding any provision of this
Article II to the contrary (but without in any way limiting the covenants in
Section 5.1), the Exchange Ratios shall be adjusted to reflect fully the
appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend
(including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent
Common Share or Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification or other like change with respect to Parent Shares or Company
Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the
Effective Time.

2.2 Exchange of Shares and Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent.  Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an
exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") for the purpose of exchanging for the
Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing shares of Company Common
Stock (the "Common Certificates"),  (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Common
Stock (the "Uncertificated Common Shares"), (iii) certificates representing
shares of Company Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Certificates" and, together
with the Common Certificates, the "Certificates"), and (iv) uncertificated
shares of Company Preferred Stock (the "Uncertificated Preferred Shares" and,
together with the Uncertificated Common Shares, the "Uncertificated Shares"). As
of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent the
aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and
Uncertificated Shares (the "Exchange Fund"). Promptly after the Effective Time,
Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record
holder of shares of Company Stock at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal
and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and
risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates
or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such
exchange.

(b) Exchange Procedures.  Each holder of shares of Company Stock that have been
converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled
to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Stock represented
by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange
Agent of the applicable Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly
executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be
requested by the Exchange Agent, or (ii) receipt of an "agent's message" by the
Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange
Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of the
applicable Uncertificated Shares. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the
case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after
the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger
Consideration. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon
the surrender or transfer of any such Certificate or Uncertificated Share.

(c) Unregistered Holder. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be
paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate
or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition
to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or
shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share
shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall
pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such
payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or
Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that
such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares.  No dividends or other
distributions with respect to a Parent Share with a record date after the
Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or
non-transferred Uncertificated Shares with respect to the right to receive
Parent Common Shares or Parent Preferred Shares, as the case may be, represented
thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any
such holder pursuant to Section 2.1(e), until (i) such Certificate has been
surrendered, or (ii) such Uncertificated Share has, in each case, been
transferred in accordance with this Article II.  Subject to all applicable laws,
statutes, orders, rules, regulations, policies or guidelines promulgated, or
judgments, decisions or orders entered by any federal, state, provincial, local
or foreign government, any court, administrative, regulatory or other
governmental agency, commission or authority or any non-governmental
self-regulatory agency, commission or authority ("Governmental Entity") (all
such laws, statutes, orders, rules, regulations, policies, guidelines,
judgments, decisions and orders, collectively, "Laws" or "Law"), following
surrender of any such Certificate or transfer of Uncertificated Shares, there
shall be paid to the recordholder thereof, without interest, (i) promptly after
such surrender and transfer, the number of whole Parent Common Shares or Parent
Preferred Shares, as the case may be, issuable in exchange therefor pursuant to
this Article II, together with any cash payable in lieu of a fractional Parent
Common Share or Parent Preferred Share, as the case may be, to which such holder
is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with
respect to such whole Parent Common Shares or Parent Preferred Shares, as the
case may be, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends
or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and prior to
the date of such surrender and a payment date subsequent to the date of such
surrender payable with respect to such whole Parent Common Shares or Parent
Preferred Shares, as the case may be.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock.  All Parent Shares issued upon
the surrender for exchange of Certificates, or transfer of Uncertificated
Shares, in accordance with the terms of this Article II and any cash paid
pursuant to Section 2.1(e) or Section 2.2(d) shall be deemed to have been issued
(and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of
Company Common Stock or shares of Company Preferred Stock, as the case may be,
previously represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares. At the
Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and
there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books
of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Stock which were
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective
Time, Certificates are presented or Uncertificated Shares are transferred to the
Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be
canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund which
remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares
one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and
any holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares who have not theretofore
complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment
of their claim for the Merger Consideration, and any dividends or distributions
pursuant to Section 2.2(d).

(g) Escheat; No Liability.  None of Parent, Merger Sub, Surviving Corporation or
the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Parent Shares
(or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange
Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned
property, escheat or similar Law.  If any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered or Uncertificated Shares shall not have been transferred immediately
prior to the date on which any Parent Share, any cash in lieu of fractional
Parent Shares or any dividends or distributions with respect to a Parent Share
issuable in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares would escheat
to or otherwise become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such shares,
cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or
Uncertificated Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become
the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or
interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Withholding Rights.  If required by applicable law, Parent or the Exchange
Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any Person who was a holder of Company Stock,
options or other securities or rights immediately prior to the Effective Time
such amounts as Parent or the Exchange Agent may be required to deduct and
withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any
provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that
amounts are so withheld by Parent or the Exchange Agent and paid over to the
applicable tax authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all
purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such
consideration would otherwise have been paid. If any deduction or withholding is
required as contemplated by this Section 2.2(h), then the parties shall take all
reasonable steps to reduce the rate of withholding Tax as provided under
relevant Tax Law and practice.  The parties shall cooperate reasonably in
completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable
Law in connection with reducing the rate of withholding Tax due under the laws
of the relevant territory or relevant double tax treaties, or in connection with
any claim to a refund of, or credit for, any required deduction or withholding.
In the event that any consideration payable in Parent Common Shares or Parent
Preferred Shares pursuant to this Agreement is subject to tax withholding,
Parent agrees that it shall withhold from such payment the minimum number of
whole Parent Common Shares or Parent Preferred Shares, respectively, required to
satisfy such tax withholding obligations at the minimum applicable withholding
rates and remit the amount of such tax withholding to the applicable tax
authority.

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  In the event any Certificate shall
have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange
for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit
of that fact by the holder thereof, such Parent Common Shares or such Parent
Preferred Shares, as the case may be, as may be required pursuant to Section
2.1(a), cash for fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and any dividends
or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(d); provided, however, that
Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the
issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form reasonably
satisfactory to Parent, or a bond in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct as
indemnity, against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Exchange
Agent in respect of the Certificate or Certificates alleged to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed.

(j) Investment of Exchange Fund.  The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash
included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent on a daily basis; provided,
that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to
former shareholders of the Company after the Effective Time pursuant to this
Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall
become a part of the Exchange Fund and any amounts in excess of the amounts
payable pursuant to this Article II shall promptly be paid to Parent.

ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties of the Company

disclosure letter of the Company addressed to Parent, dated as of the date
hereof and delivered to Parent with the parties' execution of this Agreement

that the statements contained in this Article III (each of which exceptions and
disclosures set forth in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure
Schedule will apply to any other section or subsection of the Company Disclosure
Schedule to the extent the relevance to such other section or subsection is

("GAAP") with respect to the Company or the Parent, or the accounting rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Canadian Securities
Commissions, (B) any change in the market price or trading volume of Parent
Common Shares (it being understood that any change, effect, event, occurrence or
state of facts that is an underlying cause of such change in price or trading
volume shall not be excluded by virtue of this exception), (C) any change,
effect, event, occurrence or state of facts exclusively relating to any acts of
terrorism, sabotage, military action or war, (D) any change in or relating to
the United States or Canadian economy or United States or Canadian financial,

other entities operating in such markets or industries or serving such markets,
(F) the filing of any shareholder class action, derivative or similar litigation
arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty or misrepresentation in public

by this Agreement in substantially the manner contemplated hereby.

whole.  All Taxes and other assessments and levies that the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is required to withhold or to collect for payment have been

Intended Tax Treatment.

3.9 Title to Properties.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.9, the Company and
each of its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real properties
and all other properties and assets owned by it, in each case free from Liens
that would materially affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the
use made or currently planned to be made thereof by them; and except as
disclosed in Schedule 3.9, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries holds any
leased real or personal property under valid and enforceable leases with no
exceptions that would materially interfere with the use made or currently
planned to be made thereof by them. Such assets are sufficient for the continued
operation of the business of the Company as currently conducted. 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.10 Certificates, Authorities and Permits.  The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries possess adequate certificates, authorities or permits issued by
appropriate Governmental Authorities necessary to conduct the business now
operated by it, except to the extent failure to possess such certificates,
authorities or permits could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate, and neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any such certificate, authority or permit that, if
determined adversely to the Company or such Subsidiary, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate.

3.11 Labor Matters.

any labor organization or group of employees is pending with respect to the
Company and (iv) to the Company's Knowledge, the Company enjoys good labor and

Laws respecting employment (including Laws relating to classification of
employees and independent contractors) and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment, wages and hours, and immigration and naturalization,
except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate.  There are no claims
pending against the Company before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

obtained valid and enforceable licenses for, or other rights to use, the

Subsidiaries or claiming that the use of any Intellectual Property by the
Company or any Subsidiary in their respective businesses as currently conducted
infringes, violates or otherwise conflicts with the intellectual property rights
of any third party; and (iii) to the Company's Knowledge, the use by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries of any Intellectual Property by the Company or any of

any Environmental Laws, is liable for any off-site disposal or contamination
pursuant to any Environmental Laws, or is subject to any claim relating to any

shareholders, (ii) directed that the Merger be submitted to the Company's

(the "Information Statement") will not contain any untrue statement of a

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that no
representation or warranty is made by the Company with respect to any
information provided in writing by or on behalf of the Parent for inclusion in
the Information Statement.

3.21 Internal Controls.  The Company maintains "disclosure controls and
procedures", as such terms are defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Company acknowledges that
any controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving
the desired control objectives. The Company has carried out an evaluation as
required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the supervision of and with the participation
of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedure as of December 31, 2018 (such date, the "Evaluation
Date"). Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal
Accounting Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The Company's management
has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal
Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), known as COSO, to
evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As
a result of our evaluation, the Company identified a material weakness in our
controls related to segregation of duties and other immaterial weaknesses in
several areas of data management and documentation. The Company's management is
composed of a small number of professionals resulting in a situation where
limitations on segregation of duties exist. Accordingly, as a result of the
material weakness identified above, the Company has concluded that the control
deficiencies result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of
the annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented on a timely
basis by the Company's internal controls. The Company continues to employ and
refine a structure in which critical accounting policies, issues and estimates
are identified, and together with other complex areas, are subject to multiple
reviews by executives. In addition, the Company evaluates and assesses its
internal controls and procedures regarding its financial reporting, utilizing
standards incorporating applicable portions of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board's 2009 Guidance for Smaller Public Companies in Auditing
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting as necessary on an on-going basis. 
Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308 of Regulation
S-K) or, to the Company's Knowledge, in other factors that could significantly
affect the Company's internal controls.  The Company maintains and will continue
to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in
accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

nonpublic information to Parent (to the extent such nonpublic information has

withdraw or qualify (or amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), the
approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by such Board of

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (B) recommend, adopt or approve,
or publicly propose to recommend, adopt or approve, any Superior Proposal (any

has concluded in good faith, after receipt of advice of its outside legal
counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, as
applicable, the failure of the Board of Directors to effect a Change of
Recommendation is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary
obligations to the shareholders of the Company under applicable Law. 

27

the Company shall, to the extent applicable, (A) provide to Parent three

any modifications to the terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and the
identity of the Person or group making the Superior Proposal from the
description of such terms and conditions and such Person contained in the notice
required under Section 5.3(d), or in the case of an Intervening Event written
information describing the Intervening Event in reasonable detail and shall keep
Parent reasonably informed of material events with respect to such Intervening
Event, (B) make available to Parent all materials and information made available
to the Person or group making the Superior Proposal in connection with such
Superior Proposal or the materials provided to the Board of Directors in
connection with its evaluation of an Intervening Event and (C) during the three

5.4(b) (A), if requested by Parent, engage in good faith negotiations to amend
this Agreement in such a manner that (i) the Alternative Transaction Proposal
which was determined to be a Superior Proposal no longer is a Superior Proposal,
and if there is any material revision to the terms of the Alternative
Transaction Proposal which was determined to be a Superior Proposal, including,
any revision in price, the notice period shall be extended, if applicable, to
provide for an additional three Business Day period subsequent to the time the
Company notifies Parent of any such material revision (it being understood that
there may be multiple extensions) or (ii) the failure of the Board of Directors
to effect a Change in Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event would
no longer be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary
obligations to the shareholders of the Company under applicable Law.

(c) If the Board of Directors of the Company has effected a Change of
Recommendation, the Company, as applicable, shall promptly notify Parent in
writing of such Change in Recommendation, including the specific subparagraph,

Parent shall agree upon the terms of, prepare and file with the SEC a Form S-4,
in which the Parent's Proxy Statement and the Company's Information Statement
will be included. As soon as practicable and in accordance with applicable law,
the Parent shall distribute to its shareholders the Proxy Statement.  Parent
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Form S-4 declared
effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such
filing.  The Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy
Statement to be mailed to the Parent's shareholders as promptly as practicable
after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act.  Parent shall
also take any action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction
in which it is not now so qualified or to file a general consent to service of
process) reasonably required to be taken under any applicable state securities
Laws in connection with the Parent Share Issuance and, and the Company shall
furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of the Company
Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. 
Each party shall cooperate and provide the other party with a reasonable
opportunity to review and comment on any amendment or supplement to the Form
S-4, the Parent's Proxy Statement or any filing with the SEC incorporated by
reference in the Form S-4, prior to filing such with the SEC, except where doing
so would cause the filing to not be filed timely, without regard to any
extension pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that
each party shall be deemed to have consented to the inclusion in the Form S-4,
or any filing with the SEC incorporated by reference in the Form S-4 of any
information, language or content specifically agreed to by such party or its
counsel on or prior to the date hereof for inclusion therein.  Parent will
advise the Company promptly after it receives notice of (i) the time when the
Form S-4 has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed,
(ii) the issuance or threat of any stop order, (iii) the suspension of the
qualification of the Parent Common Share issuable in connection with this
Agreement for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or (iv) any request by the
SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 or comments thereon and
responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information (and shall
deliver a copy of such comments and requests to the Company). Parent will advise
the Company promptly after it receives notice of the issuance by the SEC, any
Canadian Securities Commission, any other securities regulatory authority, the
NASDAQ or by any other competent authority of any order to cease or suspend
trading of any securities of Parent or of the institution or threat of
institution of any proceedings for that purpose. If at any time prior to the
Effective Time any information (including any Change of Recommendation) relating
to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective affiliates, officers or
directors, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set
forth in an amendment or supplement to either of the Form S-4 or the Proxy
Statement, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify
the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement, including,
where appropriate, a filing pursuant to Rules 165 and 425 of the Securities Act,
describing such information shall promptly be filed with the SEC and, to the
extent required by law, disseminated to the shareholders of the Company or
Parent.

the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Company
Shareholder Approval.

Directors of the Company shall recommend that its shareholders vote in favor of

(a) Subject to any confidentiality agreement which may be entered into by Parent
and the Company, and applicable Law, from the date of this Agreement through the

applicable, and their respective authorized representatives reasonable access at
all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to the facilities, offices,
properties, technology, processes, books, business and financial records,
officers, employees, business plans, budget and projections, customers,
suppliers and other information of the Company, and the work papers of its
independent accountants, and otherwise provide such assistance as may be
reasonably requested by such party in order that the other party has a
reasonable opportunity to make such investigation and evaluation as it
reasonably desires to make of the business and affairs of the other party.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company will hold, and will cause its respective
officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and
other representatives and affiliates to hold, any nonpublic information received
from the other in confidence in accordance with the terms of any confidentiality

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.3 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement but
subject to Section 5.4, each of the parties agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or
cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing,
all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in
the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including commercially reasonable efforts to
accomplish the following:  (i) the taking of all acts necessary to cause the
conditions to the Closing to be satisfied (but in no event shall a party be
required to waive any such condition) as promptly as practicable; (ii) the
obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances
and approvals from Governmental Authorities and the making of all necessary
registrations and filings, and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to
obtain an approval, clearance or waiver from, or to avoid an action or
proceeding by, any Governmental Authority, including under the HSR Act, or any
foreign competition laws, in each case to the extent determined to be applicable
to the Merger and the parties hereto,  (iii) the obtaining of all necessary
consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iv) taking all steps as may
be necessary to obtain all such waiting period expirations or terminations,
consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, registrations, permits, authorizations,
orders and approvals.

(b) Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each of
the Company and Parent shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of
matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby and
work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required approvals, consents
or clearances of any Governmental Authority.

(c) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, the Company and
Parent shall (i) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover
statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) if any state
takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, take all action
necessary to ensure that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as
practicable on the terms required by, or provided for, in this Agreement and
otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger and
the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.4 Indemnification and Insurance.

From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving
Corporation to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and shall itself indemnify,
defend and hold harmless as if it were the Surviving Corporation, in each case,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the present and former
officers, directors and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") of the Company
against all losses, claims, damages, fines, penalties and liability in respect
of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including but
not limited to acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby) including amounts paid in settlement or
compromise with the approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).  Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to
exculpation and indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the
Effective Time now existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties, as provided in
the NCA and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation, indemnification
and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable to the
Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Company Organizational Documents
as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not, except as required
by Law, be amended or modified until expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of
the Indemnified Parties.  Without limiting the generality of the preceding
sentence, in the event that any Indemnified Party becomes involved in any actual
or threatened action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation covered by this
Section 6.4 after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving
Corporation to, to the fullest extent permitted by law, promptly advance to such
Indemnified Party his or her legal or other expenses (including the cost of any
investigation and preparation incurred in connection therewith), subject to the
providing by such Indemnified Party of an undertaking to reimburse all amounts
so advanced in the event of a non-appealable determination of a court of
competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled thereto.  For
at least six years after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving
Corporation to, and Surviving Corporation will, without any lapse in coverage,
provide officers' and directors' liability insurance in respect of acts or
omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each officer and
director or any of its agents in an amount agreeable to the Company's officers
and directors; provided, that, the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated
to expend annual premiums during such period in excess of 200% of the per annum
rate of the aggregate annual premium currently paid by the Parent for such
insurance on the date of this Agreement, provided that if the annual premium for
such insurance shall exceed such 200% in any year, the Surviving Corporation
shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a
cost not exceeding such amount; provided further, that in the event Parent
shall, directly or indirectly, sell all or substantially all of the assets or
capital stock of the Surviving Corporation, prior to such sale, Parent shall
either assume such obligation or cause a subsidiary of Parent having a net worth
substantially equivalent to, or in excess of the net worth of, the Surviving
Corporation immediately prior to such sale, to assume such obligation.  Parent
shall cause the Surviving Corporation to reimburse all expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by any Person to enforce the obligations of
Parent and Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.4.

review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the
Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public
statement prior to such consultation, except as such party may reasonably
conclude may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations
pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or
national securities quotation system.  Parent and the Company agree that the
initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement shall be in a form agreed to by the parties.

6.7 Listing and NASDAQ Approval.  As soon as possible prior to the Closing,
Parent shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain NASDAQ approval
in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to cause the
Parent Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Parent Common
Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Parent Preferred Shares issuable
pursuant to this Agreement to be approved for listing on the NASDAQ. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall use all commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain any required security holder approval in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the listing of the
Parent Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Parent Common
Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Parent Preferred Shares issuable
pursuant to this Agreement.

6.8 Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment.  The Company and the Parent agree that it
is the intent of the parties that the Merger be structured as a tax-free
reorganization. Accordingly, both parties agree to coordinate a review of the
tax-free nature of the Merger promptly upon execution of this agreement.
However, neither party is making any representation to the tax free nature of
the Merger.

6.9 Conveyance Taxes.  Parent and the Company shall cooperate in the
preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications
or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use,
transfer, value added, stock transfer and stamp Taxes, any transfer, recording,

reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to each other consents from their
respective independent auditors, dated the date on which the Form S-4 is filed
with the SEC, is amended or supplemented, or becomes effective or a date not
more than two days prior to such date, in form reasonably satisfactory to the
recipient and customary in scope and substance for consents delivered by
independent public accountants in connection with registration statements on
Form S-4 under the Securities Act.

6.12 Affiliate Legends.  Schedule 6.13 to this Agreement sets forth a list of
those Persons who are, in the Company's reasonable judgment, "affiliates" of the

any change in the identity of its Rule 145 Affiliates prior to the Closing
Date.  Parent shall be entitled to issue appropriate stop transfer instructions
to the transfer agent for the Parent Common Shares.

6.13 Notification of Certain Matters.  The Company shall give prompt notice to
Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of the occurrence,

Parent prompt written notice of any material correction to any of the Company
Disclosure Schedules s, as the case may be, from and after the date hereof. 
Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice of any material correction
to any of the Parent Filings, as the case may be, from and after the date

to the party receiving such notice or the conditions to such party's obligation
to consummate the Merger.

6.14 Section 16 Matters.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take
all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Common

respect to Parent Common Shares) resulting from the transactions contemplated by
Article II or Article III by each individual who is subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company,
to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. 

6.15 State Takeover Laws.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not
take any action to render inapplicable, or to exempt any third Person from, any
state takeover law or state law that purports to limit or restrict business
combinations or the ability to acquire or vote shares of capital stock unless
(i) required to do so by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the
Company's Board of Directors has concluded in good faith, after receipt of
advice of its outside legal counsel, that, in light of a Superior Proposal with
respect to it, the failure to take such action is reasonably likely to result in
a breach of its Board of Directors' fiduciary obligations to its shareholders
under applicable Law. The Company and its directors shall take all action
necessary to waive the application of any shareholder rights plan or similar
device or arrangement, commonly or colloquially known as a "poison pill" or
"anti-takeover" plan or any similar plan, device or arrangement that the Company
has adopted or authorized.

6.16 Further Assurances.  At and after the Effective Time, the officers and

in the name and on behalf of the Company, reasonably necessary to vest, perfect
or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all
right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or
assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as
a result of, or in connection with, the Merger. If, at any time after the
Effective Time, any of the parties hereto reasonably believes or is advised that
any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably
necessary to consummate the Merger or to carry out the purposes and intent of
this Agreement at or after the Effective Time, then the Company, Parent, the
Surviving Corporation and their respective officers and directors shall execute
and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and assurances and
do all other things reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger and to carry
out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

6.17 Shareholder Litigation.  The Company shall provide prompt oral notice to
the Parent of any litigation brought by any shareholder of the Company against
the Company, any of its subsidiaries and/or any of their respective directors
relating to the Merger and this Agreement. The Company shall give the Parent the
opportunity to participate (at the Parent's expense) in the defense or
settlement of any such litigation, and no such settlement shall be agreed to
without the Parent's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that the Parent shall not be obligated
to consent to any settlement which does not include a full release of Parent and
its affiliates or which imposes an injunction or other equitable relief after
the Effective Time upon Parent or any of its affiliates. Parent shall provide
prompt oral notice to the Company of any litigation brought by any shareholder
of the Parent against the Parent, any of its Subsidiaries and/or any of their

publicly announce, within ten Business Days after a tender offer or exchange
offer relating to the securities of the Company and, in each case, which is an
Alternative Transaction Proposal, shall have been commenced, a statement
disclosing that the Company's Board of Directors recommends rejection of such
tender or exchange offer; provided that Parent shall no longer be entitled to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if the Company
Shareholder Approval has been obtained; or

(f) by the Company, in the event the Company shall have effected a Change of
Recommendation in connection with a determination that an Alternative
Transaction Proposal is Superior Proposal in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement; provided that the Company shall no longer be entitled to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(f) if the Company Shareholder
Approval has been obtained.

8.2 Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination of this Agreement as
provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there
shall be no liability on the part of any of the parties, except that (i) Section
6.2(b), Section 6.5, this Section 8.2, the second sentence of Section 8.3 and
Section 8.4, as well as Article IX shall survive termination of this Agreement
and continue in full force and effect, and (ii) that nothing herein, shall
relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of any representation or
warranty of such party contained herein or any willful breach of any covenant or
agreement of such party contained herein.  No termination of this Agreement
shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the CA, all of which
obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their
terms.

8.3 Amendment.  Subject to compliance with applicable Law, this Agreement may be
amended by the parties in writing at any time before or after Company
Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that after Company Shareholder
Approval, there may not be, without further approval of shareholders holding a
majority of the Company Common Stock any amendment of this Agreement that
changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered to the
holders of Company Common Stock hereunder, or which by Law or NASDAQ rule
otherwise expressly requires the further approval of such shareholders.  This
Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf
of each of the parties hereto and duly approved by the parties' respective
Boards of Directors or a duly designated committee thereof.

8.4 Extension; Waiver.  At any time prior to the Effective Time, a party may,
subject to the proviso of Section 8.3 (and for this purpose treating any waiver
referred to below as an amendment), (a) extend the time for the performance of
any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any
inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties
contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this
Agreement or (c) 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.  Any extension or waiver
given in compliance with this Section 8.4 or failure to insist on strict
compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not
operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other
failure.

this Agreement.  References to a "Person" shall include references to an

association, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity.  All terms
defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any
certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise
defined therein.  The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to
the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as
well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term.  Any agreement,
instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or
instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or
statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in
the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of
statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all
attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.  References to a
Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.  All references to
dollar amounts or to cash shall be to the lawful currency of the United States.

actual knowledge of the executive officers of the Company.  References to the
"Knowledge" of Parent shall mean the actual knowledge of the executive officers
of Parent.

9.5 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties
and delivered to the other parties.

9.6 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement (including
the CA, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the
documents and instruments referred to herein) (a) constitutes the entire
agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written
and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement
and (b) except for the provisions of Section 6.4 (which are intended to benefit
the Indemnified Parties) is not intended to confer upon any Person other than
the parties hereto any rights or remedies.

9.7 Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, regardless of the laws that
might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflict of laws thereof.

9.8 Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by
operation of law or otherwise by either of the parties hereto without the prior
written consent of the other party.  Any assignment in violation of the
preceding sentence shall be void.  Subject to the preceding two sentences, this
Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

9.9 Consent to Jurisdiction.  Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit
itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the
State of Nevada in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not
attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request
for leave from any such court, and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action
relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement in any court other than a federal or state court sitting in the State
of Nevada.

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

9.11 Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all
other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in
full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without
materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this
Agreement.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law
in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are
fulfilled to the extent possible.

9.12 Failure or Indulgence Not a Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or
delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder
shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in,
any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right.  All rights and remedies existing under
this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
otherwise available.

9.13 Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE
ACTIONS OF PARENT, MERGER SUB OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION,
PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.14 Specific Performance.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would
occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the
event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any federal or state court located
in the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which
they are entitled at law or in equity.
