     ARTICLE 2 PLAN OF MERGER

     2.1 Organization of Mergeco. Prior to the Closing, Buyer will form and
organize "Mergeco" as a second tier, wholly-owned, Florida subsidiary
corporation of Buyer. Buyer will capitalize Mergeco in such a manner as Buyer
deems reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Mergeco and the Company are sometimes hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Constituent Corporations."

     2.2 The Merger.

     2.2.1 Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the
Effective Time (as such term is defined in Section 2.2.2 hereof), Mergeco shall
be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger") in accordance with the
provisions of the merger laws of the State of Florida, and the separate
corporate existence of Mergeco shall cease, and the Company shall continue as
the surviving corporation under the laws of the State of Florida (the "Surviving
Corporation"). The Surviving Corporation shall continue to operate under the
Company's current name, unless Buyer determines that it is in its best interest
to change such name.

     2.2.2 Effective Time of Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the
time of filing of appropriate articles of merger with the Secretary of State of
the State of Florida in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State
of Florida (the "Merger Documents"). The Merger Documents shall be filed at the
time of the Closing (as such term is defined in Section 3.1 hereof). The date
and time when the Merger shall become effective is hereinafter referred to as
the "Effective Time."

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

     2.2.3 Effect of Merger. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation
shall thereupon and thereafter possess all assets and property of every
description, and every interest therein, wherever located, and the rights,
privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, and authority, of a public as well
as of a private nature, of each of the Constituent Corporations. All obligations
belonging to or due to each of the Constituent Corporations, all of which shall
be vested in the Surviving Corporation without further act or deed, and the
title to any real estate or any interest therein vested in either of the
Constituent Corporations shall not revert or in any way be impaired by reason of
the Merger. The Surviving Corporation shall be liable for all obligations of
each of the Constituent Corporations, including liability to dissenting
shareholders, and any claim existing, or action or proceeding pending by or
against either of the Constituent Corporations, may be prosecuted to judgment,
with right of appeal, as if the Merger had not taken place, or the Surviving
Corporation may be substituted in its place, and all rights of creditors of each
Constituent Corporation shall be preserved unimpaired, and all liens upon the
property of either of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved
unimpaired, on only the property affected by such liens immediately prior to the
Effective Time, all with the effect set forth in the laws of the State of
Florida.

     2.3 Merger Conversion. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of Buyer, Mergeco, the Company, the Stockholder
or any other holder of any of the securities of the Company, the following shall
occur:

     2.3.1 Conversion of Shares. Each Company Share issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be delivered to Buyer and shall be
exchanged for the right to receive from Buyer the Initial Merger Consideration
as described below.

     2.3.2 Conversion of Options. All outstanding options, warrants, convertible
notes, preferred stock and other rights to purchase Company Shares (an "Option")
outstanding as of the Effective Time shall be canceled and shall become null and
void, ad initio.

     2.3.3 Company Shares. The Company Shares then issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Merger shall, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be deemed
canceled and extinguished.

     2.4 Consideration. The Total Merger Consideration shall be payable as set
forth below.

     2.4.1 Initial Merger Consideration. The initial consideration payable by
Buyer, at Closing, pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (the "Initial Merger
Consideration") shall be (A) 1,000,000 Buyer Shares priced for these purposes at
$1.00 per share; and (B) $1,000,000 paid in the form of cash.

     2.4.2 Installment Payments. Subject to the condition that the Surviving
Corporation achieves Formula Profits of at least $600,000 (the "Initial Earnings
Threshold") in the twelve (12) month period beginning January 1, 2003 (the
"First Formula Period") and $800,000 (the "Subsequent Earnings Threshold") for
each of the two (2) successive twelve (12) month periods (the "Second and Third
Formula Periods") following the First Formula

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

Period, Buyer shall pay to the Stockholder additional consideration of
$2,000,000 payable in three equal annual installments (in the form of
consideration and subject to adjustment as provided below) within forty-five
(45) days following the end of each Formula Period (the "Installment Payments").

     (a)  With respect to the First Formula Period: (i) 50.0% of such
Installment Payment shall be made in the form of cash; and (ii) 50% in Buyer's
Shares priced at $1.00 per share.

     (b)  With respect to the Second and Third Formula Periods: (i) 50% of such
Installment Payment shall be made in the form of cash; and (ii) 50% in Buyer's
Shares priced at their then Fair Market Value.

     (c)  In the event that the Company fails to achieve the Earnings Threshold
for any Formula Period, the amount of the Installment Payment for such period
shall be calculated based on the following formula: ([Actual Recognized Formula
Profits/Earnings Threshold] X 90%) X 666,667 = Amount of Payment. The
application of this formula is as follows:

     (i)  First, divide the Company's actual recognized Formula Profits for the
subject Formula Period by the Earnings Threshold amount (i.e., $800,000 for the
Second and Third Formula Periods);

     (ii) Then, multiply the resulting quotient [as determined in 2.4.2.(b)(i)
above] by 90%;

     (iii) Then, multiply the resulting product [as determined in 2.4.2.(b)(ii)
above] by the amount of the Installment Payment that would have otherwise been
due for the subject Formula Period saving for this section ($666,667);

     (iv) Then, the resulting product [as determined in 2.4.2.(b)(iii) above] is
the amount of the Installment Payment due for the subject Formula Period.

     (d)  Notwithstanding Subparagraph (d) above, the right of the Stockholder
to receive theaggregate amount of $2,000,000 in Installment Payments shall be
cumulative over the Formula Periods plus one additional successive 12-month
period. Thus, if there is a reduction in the Installment Payment in any
applicable Formula Period as a result of the actual recognized Formula Profits
being less than the Earnings Threshold for that Formula Period, then the
difference between the actual Installment Payment made and the intended
Installment Payment may be made up in any applicable, subsequent Formula Period
plus one additional successive 12-month period by multiplying such excess
Formula Profits (i.e., actual recognized Formula Profits which are greater than
the Earnings Threshold for that Formula Period, or $800,000 in the case of the
one additional successive 12-month) by 75%. Such credit amount (which in no
event shall ever exceed the aggregate amount of unpaid Install Payments), if
any, shall be paid to the Stockholder in the same percentages and form as the

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

Installment Payment for the Installment Period in which it is calculated.
In no event, however, shall the Stockholder receive an amount in excess of
$2,000,000 in Installment Payments.

     (e)  Set forth in Exhibit "A" is an illustration of the application of the
foregoing formula.

     (f)  Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall make available to
Stockholder its financial records and information necessary to verify the
computation of Formula Profits. In the event Stockholder sends written notice to
Buyer within thirty (30) days of his receipt of Buyer's calculation of Formula
Profit of his objection to the computation, the parties shall have thirty (30)
days from the date of such notice to agree upon the amount of the Installment
Payment for the period in dispute. In the event the parties fail to agree on
such amount, then a mutually agreeable independent public accountant shall be
appointed to resolve the dispute (the "Auditor"). The Auditor shall make a final
and binding resolution of the disagreement between the parties and based on such
resolution, shall make a final and binding determination of the Formula Profits
for the period in dispute or the amount owed to the Stockholder for the period
in dispute. The Auditor shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to
perform its dispute resolution function within thirty (30) days of submission of
the matter to it, and in any case, as soon as is practicable after such
submission. The Stockholder and the Buyer shall cooperate to provide the Auditor
with such information and documents reasonably requested by the Auditor to make
its determination. All accounting fees and other expenses (collectively, "Audit
Expenses") of the Audit shall be paid by the Stockholder if there is no
Significant Discrepancy, otherwise all Audit Expenses shall be paid by the
Buyer. Audit Expenses for which the Buyer is responsible shall not be charged
against income of the Surviving Company for any Formula Period, otherwise such
expenses will be a charge against income of the Surviving Company. A
"Significant Discrepancy" exists if the difference between the Installment
Payment in any audit is (a) greater than or equal to 5% of the Buyer's
calculation of the Installment Payment.

     (g)  Payment of the Installment Payments will be secured by all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. To that end,
the Surviving Corporation will enter into with the Stockholder a pledge
agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B" (hereinafter the "Pledge
Agreement").

     2.4.3  Capital Adjustments.

     A.   In the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, or merger in which
Buyer is the surviving corporation, split-up, combination or exchange of shares
or the like which results in a change in the number or kind of shares of common
stock which is outstanding immediately prior to such event, the rights of the
Stockholder to receive Buyer Shares in respect of this Agreement and the price
thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted in the same manner as the number and
kind of shares a shareholder of Buyer who owned the same number and kind of
shares immediately prior to such event. Such adjustments shall be made in

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

good faith by the Board of Directors of Buyer, whose determination shall be
conclusive and binding on all parties, subject to manifest error.

      B.  In case of any consolidation or merger of Buyer with or into another
party or parties or the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of
Buyer to another party or parties or a share exchange transaction involving more
than 50% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Buyer, the Buyer Shares
and right to receive Buyer Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the
number of shares of stock, options or other securities or property to which a
shareholder of the Buyer who owned the same number and kind of shares prior to
such event would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance,
conversion or exchange; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be
made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the
rights and interest thereafter of the Stockholder' rights to receive Buyer
Shares, to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as reasonably possible, in relation to any shares of stock
or other property thereafter deliverable upon the Stockholder's entitlement to
same.

      2.5 Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Registered Agent of the Surviving
Corporation. The Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company, as in
effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of
Incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, except as such Articles
of Incorporation and bylaws may be amended by certificate of merger, or until
thereafter amended as provided by law, and the name and address of the
registered agent of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
the name and address of the registered agent upon whom any process, notice or
demand against either of the Constituent Corporations or the Surviving
Corporation may be served until thereafter changed by Buyer.

      2.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The directors of
the Surviving Corporation shall initially be Randy Lubinsky, Mark Szporka and
Dr. Andrea Trescot and such individuals shall hold office, subject to the
applicable provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation until the next annual shareholders' meeting of the Surviving
Corporation and until their respective successors shall be duly elected or
appointed and shall duly qualify. At the Effective Time, the officers of the
Company (which may include one or more of the officers of the Company)
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, subject to the applicable
provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation.

      2.7 Registration Rights. At Closing the parties shall enter into a
Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit "C"

      2.8 Structuring Matters. The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that
following the Merger, Buyer may take additional steps that it deems necessary or
appropriate to transfer its shares in the Surviving Corporation to another
wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer. Buyer agrees to take such action in a manner
that would have no adverse tax effect to Stockholder. Stockholder agrees to
approve such action as a Shareholder of Buyer after the Merger if such

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

action is submitted for his approval, provided there are no adverse tax effects
related to such approval.

      2.10 Operational Covenants. Without the prior written consent of Dr.
Andrea Trescot, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Buyer shall not, prior
to the conclusion of the third Formula Period:

           (a) reorganize the Surviving Corporation, whether by integrating or
consolidating the business of the Surviving Corporation with other operating
units of Buyer or its subsidiaries or affiliates, except in the case that at the
time of such integration or consolidation such transaction could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Formula Revenues;

           (b) breach, or cause the Surviving Corporation to breach, the
Employment Agreements with Dr. Andrea Trescot;

           (c) effect any reassignment, reprioritization, reallocation,
restructuring, or reduction of the Surviving Corporation's human or other
resources, their research and development initiatives, or their marketing
programs, except in a manner that at the time of such event could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Formula Revenues or that
are reasonably necessary in light of the Surviving Corporation's results of
operation;

           (d) amend the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation in any manner that at the time of such amendment could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Formula Revenues;

           (e) cause the Surviving Corporation to become a party to or terminate
any agreement which at the time such agreement is entered into or terminated
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Formula
Revenues or that is reasonably necessary in light of the Surviving Corporation's
results of operation;

           (f) cause the Surviving Corporation to undertake actions outside the
ordinary course of its business which at the time of such undertaking could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Formula
Revenues;

           (g) sell a material portion of the Surviving Corporation or its
assets, merge the Surviving Corporation with any other entity, sell a
controlling interest in the Surviving Corporation, or make any fundamental
change in the business of the Surviving Corporation unless such action(s) at the
time of such undertaking could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Formula Revenues or that is reasonably necessary in light
of the Surviving Corporation's results of operation;

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

      The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the foregoing conditions
shall become null and void and of no further force or effect if the Formula
Profits of the Surviving Corporation in each of any two (2) consecutive calendar
quarters are less than $120,000, or if the Formula Profits of the Surviving
Corporation in one (1) calendar quarter is less than $80,000.

      In the event that Buyer defaults in its performance of any of its
obligations under this Section 2.10 and fails to cure such default within thirty
(30) days (or such other reasonable period if 30 days is not a sufficient amount
of time to cure such default, provided that Buyer shall have commenced in good
faith and is diligently pursuing its efforts to cure such default during such
30-day period) of receiving a written notice of default from the Stockholder,
Buyer shall be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement.

and the Closing, the Company and/or the Stockholder, as applicable, shall give
prompt notice to the Buyer of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any
event which occurrence or failure would cause any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect
any time from the date hereof to the Closing Date and (ii) any material failure
of the Company or any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, agent or
Stockholder of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or
agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; and such disclosure

agreement or to satisfy any condition. During the same period, the Stockholder
and/or the Company shall promptly notify the Buyer of the occurrence of any
breach by the Stockholder or the Company of any covenant in this Article 6 or of
the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in
Article 8 impossible or unlikely, and Buyer shall promptly notify the
Stockholder or the Company of the occurrence of any such breach or event that
comes to their attention. Should any such fact or condition require any change
in any Disclosure Schedule if the Disclosure Schedule were dated the date of the
occurrence or discovery of any such fact or condition, the Stockholder will
promptly deliver to the Buyer a supplement to the Disclosure Schedule specifying
such change and such delivery shall be deemed to cure any breach of a
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or to satisfy any condition.
Buyer shall not be required to Close if any such supplement to the Disclosure
Schedules or failure to satisfy a covenant, condition or agreement constitutes a
Company Material Adverse Effect.

<PAGE>

                    (D) any willful misconduct or grossly negligent act or

                    (E) all Taxes of the Company with respect to any Tax year or

                local, or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by
                contract, or otherwise.

                (ii) All payments to be made pursuant to this Section 9.3.1
shall be paid promptly by the Stockholder after the resolution of any dispute
between the Stockholder and Buyer regarding the extent and amount of such

the Stockholder and his Representatives from and against any and all Damages

          9.3.3 Defense of Claims. If a claim for Damages (an "Indemnity Claim")
is to be made by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder against the
indemnifying party, the party claiming such indemnification shall, subject to
Section 9.2 hereof, give written notice (a "Claim Notice") to the indemnifying
party as soon as practicable after the party entitled to indemnification becomes
aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which
indemnification may be sought under this Section 9.3. If any lawsuit or
enforcement action is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of
indemnity hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying
party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 15 calendar days after
the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any indemnified party to
give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification
hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates actual
prejudice caused by such failure. After such notice, the indemnified party
against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such
effect to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake, at the
indemnifying party's cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of
such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party,
provided that the indemnifying party shall have the opportunity to advise and
comment on the Indemnity Claim. The indemnified party will keep the indemnifying
party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or
settlement. Provided that the indemnifying party shall consent to any settlement
or compromise, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any
action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 9.3 and for any
final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an indemnified party from and against any
Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment.

                (i)   The indemnifying party shall have the right to undertake,
by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, the defense or
opposition to such Claim.

                (ii)  In the event that the indemnifying party shall elect not
to undertake such defense or opposition, or within ten (10) days after notice of
any such Claim from the indemnified party shall fail to defend or oppose, the
indemnified party (upon further written notice to the indemnifying party) shall
have the right to undertake the defense, opposition, compromise or settlement of
such Claim, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, on behalf
of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party (subject to the right
of the indemnifying party to assume defense of or opposition to such Claim at
any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof).

                (iii) Anything in this Section 9.3.3 to the contrary
notwithstanding: (a) the indemnified party shall have the right, at its own cost
and expense, to participate in the defense, opposition, compromise or settlement
of the Claim; (b) the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified
party's written consent, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to entry of
any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving
by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect of such Claim; and (c) in the event that the indemnifying
party undertakes defense of or opposition to any Claim, the indemnified party,
by counsel or other representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and
expense, shall have the right to consult with the indemnifying party and its
counsel or other representatives concerning such Claim and the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party and their respective counsel or other
representatives shall cooperate in good faith with respect to such Claim.

          9.3.4 Brokers and Finders. Pursuant to the provisions of this Section
9.3, each of the Buyer and the Stockholder shall indemnify, hold harmless and
defend the other party from the payment of any and all broker's and finder's
expenses, commissions, fees or other forms of compensation which may be due or
payable from or by the indemnifying party (and in the case of the Stockholder,
if due or payable from or by the Company), or may have been earned by any third
party acting on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with the
negotiation and execution hereof and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

          9.3.5 Representatives. No individual Representative of any party shall
be personally liable for any Damages under the provisions contained in this
Section 9.3. Nothing herein shall relieve either party of any liability to make
any payment expressly required to be made by such party pursuant to this
Agreement.

          9.3.6 Damages. As used in this Section 9.3, the term "Damages" shall
mean any and all costs, losses (including, without limitation, diminution in

(whether or not arising out of third-party claims), including, without
limitation, interest, penalties, costs of mitigation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the
foregoing. The term "Damages" as used in this Section 9.3 is not limited to
matters asserted by third parties against the Stockholder or the Buyer, but
includes Damages incurred or sustained by the Stockholder or the Buyer in the
absence of third-party claims. Payments by the Buyer of amounts for which the
Buyer is indemnified hereunder, and payments by the Stockholder of amounts for
which the Stockholder is indemnified hereunder, shall not be a condition
precedent to recovery.

          9.3.7 Materiality. The parties recognize that many of the
representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement are
qualified by the term "material". For purposes of this Agreement, the parties
hereby agree that a "material" event(s) has occurred if the impact of such
event(s) has resulted or is reasonably likely to result in costs, expenses
and/or damages for any event(s) singularly or in the aggregate in excess of One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).

          9.3.8 Payments. The parties hereby agree that any payment with respect
to any indemnity required pursuant to this Section 9.3 may be offset against any
payments otherwise due by the indemnified party to the indemnifying party.
Stockholder may, in his sole discretion, satisfy any claim for indemnification
hereunder, in whole or in part, with the Buyer Shares. For purposes of
satisfying such claims, the Buyer Shares shall be valued at $1.00 per share.

          9.3.9 Limitation. The parties agree that the indemnification
provisions set forth in this Article shall be limited to all Claims in excess of
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the "Threshold"). Once a Claim
exceeds the Threshold, if a party is entitled to indemnification under this
Section 9.3, such party shall recover all appropriate funds, as provided in this
Section 9.3 after reduction for the Threshold. Further, the indemnitors shall
not be liable for any liabilities resulting from Claims that are covered by any
insurance policy or other indemnity or contribution agreement unless, and only
to the extent that, the full limit of such insurance policy, indemnity or
contribution agreement has been exceeded. The party entitled to indemnification
shall have a duty to mitigate its damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
party's obligation to indemnify under Section 9.3 shall be limited to
$4,000,000.

     9.4  Certain Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the
allocation of responsibility as between the Buyer and the Company on the one
hand and the Stockholder on the other hand for certain tax matters following the
Closing:

                (a) For any Tax years ending on or before the Closing Date, the
Stockholders shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns for the
Company which are required to (or pursuant to an extension may) be filed after
the Closing Date. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, each such Tax
Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company's past
practices. Each income Tax Return of the Company shall be submitted to the Buyer
at least 30 days prior to the due date (including any extension thereof)

                                      -46-

<PAGE>

for filing such Tax Returns, and the Stockholder shall permit the Buyer to make
comments on each such Tax Return prior to the filing thereof. The Stockholder
shall file timely or cause to be filed timely such Tax Returns. The Buyer agrees
that it will consent to an election of the Company to close its books for
federal tax purposes as of the Closing Date, in accordance with Section
1362(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that the "S
short year" of the Company (as such term is defined in Code Section 1362(e))
ending on the Closing Date will be considered a Tax year ending on the Closing
Date for purposes of this Section 9.4. The Company and the Stockholder agree
that they will consent to an election pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code
by filing Form 8023 such that the Company shall be treated as having sold all of
its assets at the Effective Date at fair market value in a single transaction
and shall be treated as a new corporation which purchased all of such assets as
of the beginning of the day after the Effective Date.

                (b) The Buyer, the Company, and the Stockholder shall cooperate
fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in
connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 9.4 and any
audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation
shall include provision of appropriate powers of attorney or similar
authorizations, the retention and (upon the other party's request) the provision
of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit,
litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually
convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any
material provided hereunder. The Buyer shall retain all books and records with
respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any tax periods and
shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing
authority, and shall give the Stockholder reasonable written notice prior to
transferring, destroying or discarding any such book and records prior to the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for that tax period, and if
the Stockholder so request in the event of any proposed destruction or
discarding of the books and records, the Buyer shall allow the Stockholder to
take possession of such books and records. The Buyer and the Stockholder shall,
upon request, use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document
from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to
mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not
limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). Each party
shall pay its own expenses incurred in complying with this Section 9.4(b).

                (c) The Stockholder shall, at her expense, be entitled to
control any Tax audit of the Company to the extent such audit affects or may
affect the amount or character of income, gain or loss includible by the
Stockholder for periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing
Date. The Buyer shall control all Tax audit issues of the Company that the
Stockholder is not entitled, or does not elect, to control.
