powers and franchises of the Company and the Merger Sub shall vest in the

the amounts set forth in Schedule 2.2.

      (b) If any of the Merger Shares are to be issued in the name of a person

with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, regulations or orders and (C)
the person requesting such transfer shall pay to the Buyer any transfer or other

Merger Shares issuable in exchange therefor pursuant to this Agreement, require
the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificate to submit to the
Buyer an affidavit stating that such stock certificate was lost, stolen or
destroyed and to give the Buyer an indemnity in customary form against any claim

contemplated hereby have not been satisfied or waived by such date, on the third
Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the
obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby
(other than those conditions which by their terms can only be satisfied on the
date of the Closing) (the "Closing Date"). If the Closing is consummated, the
Buyer, the Merger Sub and the Company will be deemed to have waived any of the

this Agreement.

      2.14 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action.

      If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary
or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the
Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets,
property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and the

reverse stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, combination,

on the part of the Buyer and the Merger Sub (including the sole stockholder of
Merger Sub). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by

Governmental Entity, other than those (i) required solely by reason of the
Company's participation in the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) to be
made by the Company or (iii) any filing, permit, authorization, consent or

sublease, license, sublicense, franchise, permit, indenture, agreement or
mortgage for borrowed money, instrument of indebtedness, Security Interest or
other arrangement to which the Buyer or the Merger Sub is a party or by which
either is bound or to which any of their assets are subject, except for any

      The Buyer has filed all forms, reports, schedules, registration
statements, proxy statements and other documents (including any document
required to be filed as an exhibit thereto) required to be filed by the Buyer
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on a timely basis, and has
made available to the Company such forms, reports and documents in the form
filed with the SEC. All such required forms, reports, schedules, registration
statements, proxy statements and other documents (including those that the Buyer
may file subsequent to the date hereof) are referred to herein as the "SEC
Reports." As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports (including, without
limitation, any financial statements or schedules included or incorporated by
reference therein) (i) were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such SEC Reports and (ii) did
not at the time they were filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior
to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing) contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except as
disclosed in the Buyer Disclosure Letter, the SEC Reports filed by the Buyer and
publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date hereof,
there has not been any Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Buyer that
would require disclosure under the Securities Act.

a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer, or the Buyer's or the Merger Sub's
ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      4.8 Legal Compliance; Restrictions on Business Activities.

compliance with each law (including rules, regulations and requirements
thereunder) of any federal, state, local or foreign government or any
Governmental Entity which (a) affects or relates to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or (b) is applicable to the Company or its
businesses, except, in each case, where such non-compliance would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. There is no
agreement, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Company which
has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or
materially impairing any current or future business practice of the Company, as
currently contemplated by the Company, and any acquisition of property of the
Company or the conduct of its business as currently conducted or proposed to be
conducted.

expenses or liabilities prior to the Closing.

      4.11 Company Action.

      The Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Buyer and the Merger
Sub, (a) have determined that the Merger is fair and in the best interests of
the Buyer and the Merger Sub, and each of their stockholders, and (b) have
adopted this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation, and the Bylaws of each of the Merger Sub and the Buyer, as the
case may be, and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware. No other corporate
action (including stockholder action) is required to be taken by the Buyer or
the Merger Sub in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      4.12 No Knowledge of Misrepresentations.

      The Buyer and the Merger Sub are acquiring the Company based on the
independent judgment of the Buyer and the Merger Sub as to the future prospects

      Neither the Buyer nor the Merger Sub has any liability or obligation to

transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      4.14 Qualification as a Reorganization.

      Neither the Buyer nor the Merger Sub has any plan or intention to both (a)
discontinue (or cause the Surviving Corporation to discontinue) the historic
business of the Surviving Corporation (assuming that the business of the Company
as of the date of the Merger is the Surviving Corporation's historic business)
and (b) cease (or cause the Surviving Corporation to cease) to use a significant
portion of the Surviving Corporation's historic business assets in a trade or
business (assuming that the assets of the Company as of the date of the Merger
constitute the Surviving Corporation's historic business assets). Neither the

of the Merger Sub. For purposes of the foregoing, the term "substantially all"
means at least 90 percent of the fair market value of the net assets and at

      4.15 Disclosure.

      No representation or warranty by the Buyer or the Merger Sub contained in

or omits to state any material fact necessary, in light of the circumstances
under which it was made, in order to make the statements herein not misleading.

      4.16 Absence of Plans.

      Since December 31, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Buyer has not
authorized any recapitalization, reclassification, spin-off, stock split, stock

to the Buyer Stock.

      4.17 Tax Matters.

      (a) The Buyer (and any consolidated group for tax purposes of which the
Buyer has been a member) has timely (taking into account extensions of time to
file) filed all Tax Returns that it was required to file. All such Tax Returns
were correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes owed by the Buyer,
or for which the Buyer may be liable (whether or not shown on any Tax Return),
have been or will be timely paid. The Buyer is not currently the beneficiary of
any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever
been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where the Buyer does not file Tax
Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are
no Security Interests on any of the assets of the Buyer that arose in connection
with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax.

      (b) The Buyer has withheld or collected and paid or deposited in
accordance with law all Taxes required to have been withheld or collected and
paid or deposited by the Buyer in connection with amounts paid or owing to any
employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder, or other third party.

either (i) claimed or raised by any authority in writing or (ii) as to which the
Buyer has knowledge.

Taxes or agreed to any extension of time nor has any such waiver or extension
been required with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.

had) any assets.

      4.18 Access to Information.

      Until the Closing, Buyer will allow the Company and its agents reasonable
access the files, books, records and offices of the Company and each Subsidiary,
including, without limitation, any and all information relating to Company's
taxes, commitments, contracts, leases, licenses, and real, personal and
intangible property and financial condition. Buyer will cause its accountants to
cooperate with the Company and its agents in making available all financial
information reasonably requested, including without limitation the right to

                                    COVENANTS

      5.1 Best Efforts.

      Each of the Parties shall use its best efforts, to the extent commercially
reasonable, to take all actions and to do all things necessary, proper or
advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      5.2 Securities Laws.

      (a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall not take any action that would
cause the number of its stockholders who are not "accredited investors" pursuant
to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act to increase to more than
thirty-five (35) during the term of this Agreement or that would cause any
person who does not meet the standards of Regulation D required for "purchasers"
under Regulation D to become a stockholder; provided, however, that the Company
will not be precluded from issuing Company Shares upon the exercise of options
or warrants.

      (b) The Buyer, the Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation shall take
such steps as may be necessary to comply with the securities and blue sky laws
of all jurisdictions which are applicable to the issuance of the Buyer Stock in
connection with the Merger. The Company shall use its best efforts, to the
extent commercially reasonable, to assist the Buyer as may be necessary to
comply with such securities and blue sky laws.


                                      -25-
<PAGE>

      (c) So long as the Buyer or any successor entity has securities registered
under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (including the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, the Buyer or
such successor entity shall file all reports required to be filed by it under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, all to the extent required pursuant to
Rule 144 to enable stockholders who exchange Company Shares for Buyer Stock
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to sell Buyer Stock pursuant to Rule 144
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (as
such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      (d) If at any time after the Effective Time, the Buyer takes or fails to
comply with its obligations under the immediately preceding paragraph (c), or if
the Rule 144 is not available to the stockholders who exchange Company Shares
for Buyer Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as a result of any
action taken or not taken by the Buyer, then the Buyer shall enter into a
registration rights agreement with each such stockholder in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and such stockholder.

      5.3 Reorganization.

      Except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement neither the
Buyer nor the Merger Sub will take any action, or cause the Surviving
Corporation to take any action, which would have the result of disqualifying the
Merger as a reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code. In
addition, neither the Buyer nor the Merger Sub will adopt any position (or cause
the Surviving Corporation to adopt any position) which is inconsistent with the
treatment of the Merger as a tax-free reorganization.

      5.4 Reasonable Commercial Efforts and Further Assurances.

      Each Party, at the reasonable request of another Party, and as soon as
practicable, shall execute and deliver at the requesting Party's expense such
other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be
necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

      The Parties may terminate this Agreement prior to the Effective Time as
provided below:

      (a) the Parties may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent;

      (b) any Party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the

to approve this Agreement and the Merger, in the event that this Agreement or
the Merger failed to receive the Requisite Stockholder Approval;

<PAGE>

      (c) any Party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the
other Parties upon the entry of any permanent injunction or other order of a
court or other competent authority preventing the consummation of the Merger
that has become final and nonappealable;

      (d) the Buyer and the Merger Sub may terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice to the Company if the Closing shall not have occurred on or
before May [19], 2005, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under
Section 6.1 or 6.2 hereof (unless the failure results primarily from a breach by
the Buyer or the Merger Sub of any representation, warranty, agreement or
covenant contained in this Agreement); and

      (e) the Company may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to
the Buyer and the Merger Sub if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before
May [19], 2005, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under
Section 6.1 or 6.3 hereof (unless the failure results primarily from a breach by
the Company of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained in
this Agreement).

      7.2 Effect of Termination.

      If any party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, all
obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability of
any Party to any other Party, including the directors, officers, employees,
agents, consultants, representatives, advisors, stockholders, members or
Affiliates of any Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following
obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement: (i) the liability of
any Party for any breach of this Agreement; (ii) press releases and
announcements, as provided in Section 8.4; and (iii) each party's obligation to
bear its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and
negotiation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein as
provided in Section 8.10.

      7.3 Amendment.

      Subject to applicable law, the Parties may cause this Agreement to be
amended at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of
each of the Parties.

      7.4 Extension, Waiver.

other acts of the other Parties, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the

document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the
agreements or conditions for the benefit of such Party contained herein. 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.

      7.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties.


                                      -30-
<PAGE>

      All representations, warranties and covenants of the parties contained in
this Agreement will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of the other Parties to this Agreement,
until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or two (2) years after
the Closing Date (the "Survival Period"), whereupon such representations,
warranties and covenants will expire (except for covenants that by their terms
survive for a longer period). The Parties post-closing remedies for a breach are
not limited by the pre-closing discovery of a breach.

      7.6 Indemnification of Buyer.

      Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, the Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, directors, agents
and employees, and each person, if any, who controls or may control Buyer within
the meaning of the Securities Act from and against any and all damages:

      (a) Arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of or default in
connection with any of the representations, warranties and covenants given or
made by the Company in this Agreement or any certificate, document or instrument
delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto; or

      (b) Resulting from any failure of the stockholders to have good, valid and
marketable title to the issued and outstanding Company Stock held by them, free
and clear of all liens, claims, pledges, options, adverse claims, assessments or
charges of any nature whatsoever, or to have full right, capacity and authority
to vote such Company Stock in favor of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

      The foregoing are collectively referred to as the "Buyer Indemnity
Claims."

      7.7 Indemnification of Company.

      Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, the Buyer and
Buyer Sub agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and its officers, directors, agents and employees, from and against any and all
Damages:

      (a) Arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of or default in
connection with any of the representations, warranties and covenants given or
made by the Buyer or Buyer Sub in this Agreement or any certificate, document or
instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Buyer or Buyer Sub pursuant hereto;
or

      (b) Resulting from any failure of Buyer to have good, valid and marketable
title to the fully paid nonassessable share of Buyer Common Stock constituting
all or any part of the Merger Consideration, free and clear of all liens,
claims, pledges, options, adverse claims, assessments or charges of any nature
whatsoever, or to have full right, capacity and authority to cause all of the
shares representing such Buyer Common Stock to be issued to the Company

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

      The foregoing are collectively referred to as the "Company Indemnity
Claims." The Company Indemnity Claims together with the Buyer Indemnity Claims
are collectively referred to as the "Indemnity Claims."

      7.8 General Notice and Procedural Requirements for Indemnity Claims.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party or person having the indemnity
obligation under this Article VII (the "Indemnifying Party"), shall be obligated
to indemnify and hold harmless the party or person entitled to indemnity under
this Article VI (the "Indemnified Party"), only with respect to any Indemnity
Claims of which the Indemnified Party notifies with specificity the Indemnifying
Party in accordance with Section 8.8 of this Agreement and, if applicable,
within the following time period: (i) with regard to any representation or
warranty under this Agreement, prior to the end of the Survival Period of such
representation or warranty; or (ii) with regard to any covenant under this
Agreement which by its terms expires, prior to the end of the survival period
relating to such covenant.

      7.9 Notice and Procedural Requirements for Third Party Claims.

      If a complaint, claim or legal action is brought by a third party (a
"Third Party Claim") as to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such Third
Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 8.8 of this
Agreement promptly after the Indemnified Party receives notice thereof, which
notice shall include a copy of any letter, complaint or similar writing received
by the Indemnified Party; provided however, that any failure to provide or delay
in providing such information shall not constitute a bar or defense to
indemnification except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced
thereby.

      The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such
Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.
After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the
Indemnifying Party's election so to assume the defense of such Third Party
Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in
connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim except as hereinafter
provided. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such defense and select
counsel, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense through its own
separate counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by
the Indemnified Party unless: (i) otherwise specifically agreed by the
Indemnifying Party, or (ii) counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party
determines that because of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnified Party such counsel for the Indemnifying Party cannot
adequately represent both parties in conducting the defense of such action. In
the event the Indemnified Party maintains separate counsel because counsel
selected by the Indemnifying Party has determined that such counsel cannot
adequately represent both parties because of a conflict of interest between the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall
not have the right to direct the defense of such Third Party Claim on behalf of
the Indemnified Party.


                                      -32-
<PAGE>

      The failure of the Indemnifying Party to notify an Indemnified Party of
its election to defend such Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) days after
notice thereof was given to the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed a waiver by
the Indemnifying Party of its rights to defend such Third Party Claim.

      If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
obligations of the Indemnifying Party shall include taking all steps necessary
in the defense of such Third Party Claim and holding the Indemnified Party
harmless from and against any and all Damages caused or arising out of any
settlement approved by the Indemnified Party or any judgment in connection with
the claim or litigation.

      If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party
Claim in accordance with this Section, the Indemnified Party may defend against
such claim or litigation in such manner as it deems appropriate; provided,
however, that the Indemnified Party may not settle such Third Party Claim
without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided that the
Indemnifying Party may not withhold such consent unless it has provided security
of a type and in an amount reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party for
the payment of its indemnification obligations with respect to such Third Party
Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for
the amount of Damages caused or arising out of any judgment rendered with
respect to such Third Party Claim, and for all costs and expenses incurred by
the Indemnified Party in the defense of such claim.

      The Indemnifying Party may settle any Third Party Claim in its sole
discretion without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, provided
that such settlement involves only the payment of cash by the Indemnifying Party
to the claimant and does not impose any other obligation on the Indemnifying
Party or any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party.

      7.10 Notice and Procedural Requirements for Direct Claims.

      Any claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party on account of
Damages which do not result from a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be
asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice thereof in
accordance with Section 8.8 of this Agreement; provided, however, that any
failure to provide, or delay in providing, such notification shall not
constitute a bar or defense to indemnification except to the extent the
Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby. After receiving notice of a
Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have a period of thirty (30) days
within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying
Party rejects such claim or does not respond within such thirty (30) day period
(in which case the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such
claim), the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be
available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of
this Article VI.

      7.11 Maximum Liability.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event
will the Company's indemnity obligations under this Article VII in the aggregate
exceed $700,000 except for any claims of indemnity based on actual fraud, for
which the Company indemnity obligations shall have no limit. In no event will
the Buyer's indemnity obligations under this Article VII exceed the aggregate
amount of $700,000 except for any claims of indemnity based on actual fraud, for
which the Buyer's indemnity obligation shall have no limit.

the Merger, as it determines are required under applicable securities laws or
regulatory rules.

      8.5 Confidentiality.

      The Buyer and the Company each recognize that they have received and will
receive confidential information concerning the other during the course of the
Merger negotiations and preparations. Accordingly, Buyer and the Company each
agrees (a) to use its respective best efforts to prevent the unauthorized
disclosure of any confidential information concerning the other that was or is
disclosed during the course of such negotiations and preparations, and is
clearly designated in writing as confidential at the time of disclosure, and (b)
to not make use of or permit to be used any such confidential information other
than for the purpose of effectuating the Merger and related transactions. The
obligations of this section will not apply to information that (i) is or becomes
part of the public domain, (ii) is disclosed by the disclosing party to third
parties without restrictions on disclosure, (iii) is received by the receiving
party from a third party without breach of a nondisclosure obligation to the
other party or (iv) is required to be disclosed by law. If this Agreement is
terminated, all copies of documents containing confidential information shall be
returned by the receiving party to the disclosing party.

      8.10 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 will nevertheless remain in full
force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions

and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part shall qualify

applicable to such other sections. The Buyer Disclosure Letter shall be arranged
in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained

to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires
otherwise.
