               (a) Confidentiality.

               (b)  Solicitation.  During  the  Employment  Term  and  one  year
          thereafter  if and  only  if  Employee  were  Terminated  with  Cause,
          Employee will not, and will cause his  affiliates to not,  directly or
          indirectly,  (i) solicit for employment by any Person,  its affiliates
          or anyone else,  any  employee or then  currently  active  independent
          contractor  of  Employer or its  affiliates,  or any person who was an
          employee or then currently active  independent  contractor of Employer
          or its affiliates,  within the six-month period immediately  preceding
          such  solicitation  of  employment,  other than such  person (a) whose
          employment or independent  contractor  relationship  was terminated by
          Employer or its  affiliate,  or (b) who  independently  responded to a
          general solicitation for employment by Employee or his affiliates;  or

          contractor of Employer or its affiliates, to terminate such employee's
          employment   or   independent    contractor's    active    contractual
          relationship.

               (c)  Specific  Performance.  If there is a breach  or  threatened
          breach of the provisions of this Section 6, Employer shall be entitled
          to an injunction  restraining Employee from such breach,  without bond
          or other  security.  Nothing  herein shall be construed as prohibiting
          Employer  from  pursuing  any  other   remedies  for  such  breach  or
          threatened breach.

          7. Covenant Not to Compete.

               termination  of  Employee's  employment)  or with  respect to any
               customer,  client or prospective  customer or client, of Employer
               or of any of its  affiliates in each case,  within the Geographic
               Area;

               case, any real estate,  timeshare product, service or product, or
               other which is the same as, similar to, or competes with Employer
               or its  affiliate's  services or products or which  compete  with
               Employer or its affiliate's business;

                    (iii)  (A)  call  on  any  Acquisition  Candidate  with  the
               knowledge of such Acquisition Candidate's status as such, for the
               purpose of  acquiring,  or

                                       4
<PAGE>
               arranging the acquisition of, that  Acquisition  Candidate by any
               Person  other than  Employer  or its  affiliates,  (B) induce any
               Person  which is a customer  of  Employer  or its  affiliates  to
               patronize any business directly or indirectly in competition with
               the  business  conducted  by  Employer  or  its  affiliates;  (C)
               canvass, solicit or accept from any Person which is a customer of
               Employer or its affiliates, any such competitive business; or (D)
               request or advise any Person  which is a customer  of Employer or
               its  affiliates,   or  its  or  their  successors;   "Acquisition
               Candidate"   means  (I)  any  Person  engaged  in  the  Timeshare
               Business,  or the purchase or development of real estate with the
               purpose of engaging in the Timeshare Business or (II) any project
               with respect to the  Timeshare  Business,  and in either case (i)
               which was called on by Employer or its affiliates,  in connection
               with the possible  acquisition  by Employer or its  affiliates of
               that Person or project,  or (ii) with respect  which  Employer or
               its affiliates has made an acquisition analysis.

               (b) Employee agrees and understands  that Employer's  business is
          highly competitive and that Employer has invested considerable sums of
          money in developing real estate and timeshare properties and services,
          training programs, sales programs,  pricing and marketing formulas and
          programs,  and account records for the proper servicing of its clients
          and potential clients.

               (c) Employee further agrees and understands that this covenant is
          necessary  for  the  protection  of  Employer  due to  its  legitimate
          interest  in  protecting  its  business  goodwill  and Trade  Secrets.
          Employee  further  agrees  and  understands   that,   because  of  the
          legitimate  interest of Employer in protecting  its business  goodwill
          and Trade  Secrets as well as the extensive  confidential  information
          and  special  knowledge  received  by  Employee  from  Employer,   the
          restrictions enumerated in Section 7(a) are not oppressive and are, in
          fact,  reasonable.  Employee also agrees and understands  that, due to
          the  necessity  of  this  covenant  and  the  adequate   consideration
          supporting  it, this  covenant  does not prevent  competition,  and in
          fact, it encourages Employer to entrust Employee with Trade Secrets.

               (d) If a court  of  competent  jurisdiction  determines  that the
          scope of any  provision  of this Section 7 is too broad to be enforced
          as written,  the parties  intended that the court reform the provision
          to  such  narrower  scope  as  it  determines  to  be  reasonable  and
          enforceable.

               (e)  Employee  agrees that if he breaches  this  covenant he will
          submit to the  rendition  of a temporary  restraining  order,  without
          prior notice, and thereafter to a temporary and permanent  injunction.
          Further,  Employee agrees to the jurisdiction of an appropriate  court
          in Harris County, Texas, for the enforcement of this covenant.

                        AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

     This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this "Agreement") is made and
                                              ---------
entered into as of November 1, 2001, by and among Applied Digital Solutions,
Inc., a Missouri corporation ("ADSX"), Digital Angel Corporation, a
                               ----
Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ADSX ("DA"), Medical
                                                           --
Advisory Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MAS"), and Acquisition
                                                 ---
Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MAS
("Acquisition Subsidiary").
  ----------------------
                                  Recitals
                                  --------

     A. ADSX currently owns approximately 16.5% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of MAS and is now the single largest stockholder
in MAS. ADSX currently controls two of the seven board seats of the Board of
Directors of MAS. ADSX and MAS have discussed and considered the benefits to
their respective stockholders of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The Board of Directors of MAS has appointed a Special Committee
of Directors for purposes of considering the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

     B. The Board of Directors of MAS and the Board of Directors of ADSX
have analyzed and determined that the value of DA and the Other Subsidiaries
(herein defined) is approximately $150,000,000, which equates to a value of
each share of the issued and outstanding capital stock of MAS of $8, prior
to the effect of outstanding DA Options (herein defined), notwithstanding
the current market price of such stock.

     C. The Board of Directors of MAS has approved and deems it advisable
and in the best interests of MAS and its stockholders to consummate (i) the
merger of Acquisition Subsidiary with and into DA provided for herein (the
"Merger"), pursuant to which the issued and outstanding shares of DA owned
 ------
by ADSX will be converted into 18,750,000 shares of MAS common stock, and
(ii) the contribution by ADSX of its ownership interest in the common stock
of certain subsidiaries of ADSX, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and
incorporated herein by reference (collectively the "Other Subsidiaries"), to
                                                    ------------------
MAS (the "Contribution") (the Merger and the Contribution, collectively, the
          ------------
"Transaction"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
 -----------
herein. The Boards of Directors of Acquisition Subsidiary, ADSX and DA have
approved and deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective
companies and their respective stockholders to consummate the Merger and the
Contribution upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
The Special Committee of the Board of Directors of MAS has determined that
the Transaction and the Transaction Consideration (as defined below) are
fair to the stockholders of MAS excluding the stockholders set forth on
Exhibit B (the "Interested Stockholders") (the stockholders of MAS excluding
                -----------------------
the Interested Stockholders are referred to herein as the "Public
                                                           ------
Stockholders").
------------
     D. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger be
treated as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
(the "Code") and that the Contribution be treated as a tax free contribution
      ----
under Section 351 of the Code.

good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Each

liabilities, or the results of operations of MAS and the MAS Subsidiaries,

conditions or changes therein, (B) financial market conditions or
fluctuations, or (C) any action, change, effect, circumstances or condition
expressly required by this Agreement or directly and demonstrably

respective businesses as now being conducted and necessary to own, operate
and lease their properties and assets except where the failure to have such

          --------------
stock of MAS consists of 10,000,000 shares of MAS Common Stock and 1,000,000

stock or any other security of MAS or Acquisition Subsidiary, and there is
no authorized or outstanding security of any kind convertible into or

amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "Securities Act"),

          ------------
of the capital stock and other interests of the MAS Subsidiaries so held by
MAS are directly or indirectly owned by it, free and clear of any claim,
lien, encumbrance, security interest or agreement with respect thereto. All
of the outstanding shares of capital stock in each of the MAS Subsidiaries
directly or indirectly held by MAS are duly authorized, validly issued and
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable and were issued free of preemptive
rights in compliance with applicable corporate and securities Laws. There
are no irrevocable proxies or similar obligations with respect to such
capital stock of the MAS Subsidiaries held by MAS and

                                     5

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

no equity securities or other interests of any of the MAS Subsidiaries are

warrants, rights to subscribe to, puts, calls or commitments of any
character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into
or exchangeable for, shares of any capital stock of any MAS Subsidiary, and
there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which
any MAS Subsidiary is bound to issue additional shares of its capital stock,
or options, warrants or rights to purchase or acquire any additional shares
of its capital stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such
shares. Acquisition Subsidiary is directly and wholly owned by MAS and was
recently organized under Delaware law solely for purposes of the
Transaction. Acquisition Subsidiary has no assets or liabilities and has not
engaged in any business or activities other than as contemplated by this
Agreement.

are true and correct, except as set forth in the disclosure schedule
delivered by ADSX to MAS and attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference (the "DA Disclosure Schedule") or as otherwise expressly
                ----------------------
contemplated by this Agreement.

     4.1. Organization and Good Standing. ADSX is a corporation duly
          ------------------------------
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Missouri. DA is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the
subsidiaries of DA (the "DA Subsidiaries") and the Other Subsidiaries is a
                         ---------------
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Each of DA, the DA
Subsidiaries and the Other Subsidiaries is qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so
qualified would have a DA Group Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of
this Agreement, "DA Group Material Adverse Effect" shall mean a material
                 --------------------------------
adverse effect on (i) the business, assets, condition (financial or
otherwise), properties, liabilities or the results of operations of DA, the
DA Subsidiaries and the Other Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, provided,
                                                              --------
however, that no change or effect arising out of or in connection with or
-------
resulting from any of the following shall be deemed by it or by themselves,
either alone or in combination, to constitute or contribute to a DA Group
Material Adverse Effect: (A) general economic conditions or changes therein,
(B) financial market conditions or fluctuations, or (C) any action, change,
effect, circumstances or condition expressly required by this Agreement or
directly and demonstrably attributable to the execution, performance or
announcement of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby;
(ii) the ability of ADSX or DA to perform its obligations set forth in this
Agreement, or (iii) the ability of ADSX or DA to timely consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. ADSX, DA, the DA Subsidiaries
and the Other Subsidiaries have all corporate power and all governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on their
respective businesses as now being conducted and necessary to own, operate
and lease their properties and assets except where the failure to have such
power, licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not have an
MAS Material Adverse Effect.

     4.2. Capitalization.
          --------------

     (a)  As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of DA consists
of 50,000,000 shares of DA Common Stock. Of such authorized shares, as of

transactions contemplated hereby other than (i) the filing of the
Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware

     4.11. Compliance with Laws. The businesses of DA, each DA Subsidiary
           --------------------
and the Other Subsidiaries have been operated in compliance with all Laws
applicable thereto, except for any instances of non-compliance which do not

Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither DA, any DA
Subsidiary nor any of the Other Subsidiaries has conducted its business in

jurisdiction, foreign or domestic, which violation has had or would
reasonably be expected to have a DA Group Material Adverse Effect.

in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

      4.14. Material Contracts. ADSX has made available to MAS true and accurate
            ------------------

                 --------------------------
by DA, any DA Subsidiary or any Other Subsidiary (i) that is required to be
described in or filed as an exhibit to any ADSX Securities Filing, or if DA,
any DA Subsidiary or any Other Subsidiary were subject to similar reporting
requirements would be required to be so described; (ii) that was entered
into outside the ordinary course of business; (iii) that is material to the
business of DA or the Other Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (iv) pursuant to
which DA, any DA Subsidiary or any Other Subsidiary is or will be liable for

any Other Subsidiary is a party or is subject to any Contract required to be
described in or filed as an exhibit to any ADSX Securities Filing that is
not so described in or filed as required by the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, as the case may be. All such DA Group Material Contracts are
valid and binding and are in full force and effect and enforceable against
DA, any DA Subsidiary or Other Subsidiary in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. Except as
referenced in Section 4.6 above, (i) no Consent of any person is needed in
order that each such DA Group Material Contract shall continue in full force
and effect in accordance with its terms without penalty, acceleration or
rights of early termination by reason of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for Consents the absence
of which would not have a DA Group Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) none of
DA, the DA Subsidiaries or the Other Subsidiaries is in violation or breach
of or default under any such DA Group Material Contract; nor to the
knowledge of ADSX is any other party to any such DA Group Material Contract
in violation or breach of or default under any such DA Group Material
Contract in each case where such violation or breach would have a DA Group
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the DA Disclosure Schedule,
neither DA nor any of the Other Subsidiaries is a party to or is subject to
any Contract that limits the ability of DA or any of the Other Subsidiaries,
or would limit the ability of MAS or any subsidiary of MAS after the
Effective Time, to compete in or conduct any line of business or compete
with any person or in any geographic area or during any period.

      4.15. Employee Benefit Plans. (a) There are no Benefit Plans maintained or

Internal Revenue Service; and (v) the most recent summary plan description
as defined in ERISA.

      (c) With respect to each such Benefit Plan while maintained or
contributed to by DA, a DA Subsidiary or any Other Subsidiary: (i) if intended
to qualify under Code Sections 401(a) or 403(a), such Benefit Plan has
received a favorable determination letter from the IRS that it so qualifies,
and its trust is exempt from taxation under Code Section 501(a) and, to the
knowledge of ADSX, nothing has since occurred to cause the loss of the
Benefit Plan's qualification; (ii) except for payment of benefits made in
the ordinary course of the plan administration, no event has occurred and,
to the knowledge of ADSX, there exists no circumstance under which DA, a DA
Subsidiary or any Other Subsidiary could reasonably be expected to incur
liability under ERISA, the Code or otherwise; (iii) no accumulated funding
deficiency as defined in Code Section 412 has occurred or exists, whether or
not waived; (iv) no non-exempt prohibited transaction as defined under ERISA
and the Code has occurred; (v) no reportable event as defined in Section

satisfying the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards 87 and 88;
(viii) the present value of all "benefit liabilities" (as defined in ERISA
Section 4001(a)(16) and determined based on the actuarial assumptions and
methods used under such Benefit Plan for the most recent Benefit Plan
actuarial valuation and assuming for such purposes that all benefits
provided under the Benefit Plan are fully vested) under each such Benefit
Plan did not exceed as of the most recent Benefit Plan actuarial valuation
date, and will not exceed as of the Closing Date, the then current value of
the assets of such Benefit Plan as determined pursuant to Code Section 412,
and (ix) none of DA, any DA Subsidiary or any Other Subsidiary has
completely or partially withdrawn from a Plan that is a Multi-employer Plan,
and DA would not become subject to liability under ERISA if DA were to
withdraw completely from all multi-employer plans in which it currently
participates, except, in each case, for any deviations from the foregoing
which do not and would not reasonably be expected to have a DA Group
Material Adverse Effect.

      (d) Except as provided in Section 6.8 below, the consummation of the
Merger will not, either alone or in conjunction with another event under the
terms of any Benefit Plan: (i) entitle any individual to severance pay,
(ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting of benefits or increase the
amount of compensation due to any individual; or (iii) give rise to the payment
of any amount that would not be deductible pursuant to Section 280G of the
Code.

negotiations with, or furnish any information to, any person in connection
with, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of
any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to,
any MAS Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if the Board of
Directors of MAS determines in good faith, after consultation with outside
counsel, that it is necessary to do so to discharge properly its fiduciary
duties to stockholders, MAS may, in response to an MAS Acquisition Proposal
that such Board determines in good faith is reasonably likely to result in
an MAS Superior Proposal (as defined in subsection (c) hereof), and subject
to such party's compliance with subsection (b) hereof, (A) furnish
information with respect to MAS to the person making such MAS Acquisition
Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement the terms of
which are no more favorable to the other party to such confidentiality
agreement than those in place with ADSX and (B) participate in discussions
with respect to such MAS Acquisition Proposal. It is expressly understood
and agreed that with respect to the foregoing proviso, the legal and
financial advisors of MAS shall be able to make inquiries, and engage in
discussions, with any party that has made an MAS Acquisition Proposal (and
such party's legal and financial advisors) in order to elicit information to
allow the Board of Directors of MAS to determine in good faith if such MAS
Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to result in an MAS Superior
Proposal.

      (b) MAS and Acquisition Subsidiary will as promptly as practicable
communicate to ADSX any inquiry received by it relating to any potential MAS
Acquisition Proposal and the material terms of any proposal or inquiry,
including the identity of the person and its affiliates making the same,
that it may receive in respect of any such transaction, or of any such
information requested from it or of any such negotiations or discussions
being sought to be initiated with it.

representing 20% or more of the consolidated assets of MAS and the MAS
Subsidiaries, (3) issuance, sale, or other disposition of (including by way
of merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, joint
venture, or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or
warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for,
such securities) representing 20% or more of the voting power of MAS or
(4) transaction in which any person shall acquire beneficial ownership (as
such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or the right to
acquire beneficial ownership or any "group" (as such term is defined under
the Exchange Act) that shall have been formed which beneficially

                                     31

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

owns or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, 20% or more of the
outstanding voting capital stock of MAS. "MAS Superior Proposal" means a
                                          ---------------------
bona fide MAS Acquisition Proposal made by a third party which was not
solicited by MAS, its subsidiaries, representatives or other affiliates and
which, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of MAS, taking
into account, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of
MAS, the various legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and
the person making such proposal (A) if accepted, is reasonably likely to be
consummated, and (B) if consummated, is reasonably likely to result in a
transaction that is more favorable to the stockholders of MAS, from a
financial point of view, than the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

      (d) If the MAS Board of Directors is prepared to accept an MAS
Superior Proposal, then MAS shall give ADSX 48 hours notice that MAS is
prepared to accept the MAS Superior Proposal, provided that MAS may not
definitively accept an MAS Superior Proposal unless MAS concurrently
therewith terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f).

ADSX and DA shall not, and shall cause their affiliates not to, issue or
cause the publication of any press release or any other announcement with
respect to the MAS Proposals or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement without the consent of MAS which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, except when such release or announcement
is required by applicable Law or any applicable listing agreement with, or
rules or regulations of, the NASD or the SEC, in which case ADSX, to the
extent practicable, prior to making such announcement, shall consult with
MAS regarding the same.

      6.6. Compliance. In consummating the Merger and the transactions
           ----------
contemplated hereby, ADSX shall comply and/or cause DA, the DA Subsidiaries
and the Other Subsidiaries to comply or to be in compliance, in all material
respects, with all applicable Laws.

      6.7. Tax Treatment. ADSX shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
           -------------

knowledge could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying
as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and to cause the

knowledge could reasonably be expected to prevent the Contribution from
qualifying under Section 351(a) of the Code. Prior to the Effective Time,
ADSX shall provide tax counsel to MAS and ADSX rendering an opinion under

as such counsel identifies are relevant to its opinion and will use its

value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and as disclosed to MAS
in writing) granted to employees of DA or the Other Subsidiary hired on or

Acquisition Proposal or (3) participate in any way in discussions or
negotiations with, or furnish any information to, any person in connection
with, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of
any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to,
any DA Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if the Board of
Directors of ADSX determines in good faith, after consultation with outside
counsel, that it is necessary to do so to discharge properly its fiduciary
duties to stockholders, ADSX or DA may, in response to a DA Acquisition
Proposal that such Board determines in good faith is reasonably likely to
result in a DA Superior Proposal (as defined in subsection (c) of this
Section), and subject to such party's compliance with subsection (b) of this
Section, (A) furnish information with respect to DA or any of the Other
Subsidiaries to the person making such DA Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a
customary confidentiality agreement the terms of which are no more favorable
to the other party to such confidentiality agreement than those in place
with MAS and (B) participate in discussions with respect to such DA
Acquisition Proposal. It is expressly understood and agreed that with
respect to the foregoing proviso, ADSX's and DA's legal and financial
advisors shall be able to make inquiries, and engage in discussions, with
any party that has made a DA Acquisition Proposal (and such party's legal
and financial advisors) in order to elicit information to allow the Board of
Directors of ADSX and DA to determine in good faith if such DA Acquisition
Proposal is reasonably likely to result in a DA Superior Proposal.

      (b) ADSX will as promptly as practicable communicate to MAS any inquiry
received by it relating to any potential DA Acquisition Proposal and the
material terms of any proposal or inquiry, including the identity of the
person and its affiliates making the same, that it may receive in respect of
any such transaction, or of any such information requested from it or of any
such negotiations or discussions being sought to be initiated with it.

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

of assets of DA or any Other Subsidiary representing 20% or more of the
consolidated assets of DA, the DA Subsidiaries and the Other Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, (3) issuance, sale, or other disposition of (including by
way of merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, joint
venture, or any similar

                                     37

securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such securities)
representing 20% or more of the voting power of DA, any DA Subsidiaries or
any Other Subsidiary or (4) transaction in which any person shall acquire
beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act), or the right to acquire beneficial ownership or any "group"
(as such term is defined under the Exchange Act) that shall have been formed
which beneficially owns or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of,
20% or more of the outstanding voting capital stock of DA, any DA Subsidiary
or any Other Subsidiary. "DA Superior Proposal" means a bona fide DA
                          --------------------
Acquisition Proposal made by a third party which was not solicited by ADSX,
its subsidiaries, representatives or other affiliates and which, in the good
faith judgment of ADSX's Board of Directors, taking into account, to the
extent deemed appropriate by ADSX's Board of Directors, the various legal,
financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the person making such
proposal (A) if accepted, is reasonably likely to be consummated, and (B) if
consummated, is reasonably likely to result in a transaction that is more
favorable to the applicable stockholders, from a financial point of view,
than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      (d) If the ADSX Board of Directors is prepared to accept a DA Superior
Proposal, then ADSX shall give MAS 48 hours notice that ADSX is prepared to
accept the DA Superior Proposal, provided that ADSX may not definitively
accept a DA Superior Proposal unless ADSX concurrently therewith terminates
this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f).

      6.11. SEC and Stockholder Filings. ADSX shall, within a reasonable time,
            ---------------------------

Agreement, including the Merger and the Contribution, ADSX and its Board of
Directors will, to the extent consistent with its fiduciary duties, grant
such approvals and will take such other actions as are necessary so that the
Merger, the Contribution and the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms
contemplated hereby and will otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the
effects of any Takeover Statute on the Merger and any of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

      6.13. Comfort Letters. Upon the request of MAS, ADSX shall use its
            ---------------
reasonable best efforts to provide to MAS on or prior to the Closing Date
"comfort letters" from the independent certified public accountants for
ADSX, dated the Closing Date, addressed to the Board of Directors of each of
MAS and ADSX, covering such matters as MAS shall reasonably request with
respect to facts concerning the financial condition of DA, the DA
Subsidiaries and the Other Subsidiaries as are customary for certified
public accountants to deliver in connection with a transaction similar to
the Merger.

      6.14. Indemnification. To the extent that ADSX controls MAS, ADSX shall
            ---------------
cause MAS to insure and guaranty that the provisions with respect to
indemnification by MAS now existing in favor of any present or former

assigns) of MAS (the "Indemnified Parties"), as set forth in its charter or

manner as to adversely affect the rights of such Indemnified Parties and

from the Effective Time. This Section 6.14 shall survive the closing of any
of the transactions contemplated hereby, is intended to benefit the officers
and employees of MAS at the Effective Time and each of the Indemnified
Parties (each of which shall be entitled to enforce this Section against
ADSX as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement), and shall be binding
on all successors and assigns of ADSX.

ADSX and MAS shall cooperate and promptly prepare and MAS shall file with
the SEC as soon as practicable a proxy statement with respect to the MAS
Stockholders Meeting (the "Proxy Statement"). The parties will cause the
                           ---------------
Proxy Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder. MAS shall use all reasonable efforts, and ADSX will cooperate
with MAS, to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as
practicable. MAS shall, as promptly as practicable, provide copies of any
written comments received from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement
to ADSX and advise ADSX of any material oral comments with respect to the
Proxy Statement received from the SEC. MAS agrees that the Proxy Statement
and each amendment or supplement thereto at the time of mailing thereof and
at the time of the MAS Stockholders Meeting will not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that any such untrue
statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact was made
by MAS in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
concerning ADSX furnished to MAS by ADSX specifically for use in the Proxy
Statement. ADSX agrees that the written information provided by it for
inclusion in the Proxy Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto,
at the time of mailing thereof and at the time of the MAS Stockholders
Meeting, will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. The Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements
thereto shall be approved by ADSX, which such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. ADSX shall assist MAS in the
preparation of any pro forma financial statements required to be included in
the Proxy Statement. MAS will advise ADSX promptly of any request by the SEC
for amendment of the Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses
thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information. Whenever any
event or condition affecting MAS or ADSX occurs that is required to be set
forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, such party will
promptly inform the other of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with
the SEC or any other Governmental Authority, and in mailing to stockholders
of MAS, such amendment or supplement.
