    WHEREAS,
      the authorized capital of the Alabama Company consists of 10,000,000 shares
      of
      Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of which 4,211,230 shares are now issued

    WHEREAS,
      the Board of Directors of the Alabama Company and the Board of Directors of
      the
      Texas Company deem it to be for the benefit and advantage of each of the
      companies and their respective stockholders that the companies merge under
      and
      pursuant to the provisions of Section 10-2A-146 of the Alabama Business
      Corporation Act and Section 5.07 of the Texas Business Corporation Act, and
      the
      Board of Directors of each of the Constituent Companies, by resolution duly
      adopted, has approved this Agreement and Plan of Merger (sometimes herein called
      the "Agreement") and a majority of the Directors of each has duly authorized

      set forth.

    ARTICLE
      I

    

    Except
      as
      herein specifically set forth, the corporate existence of the Texas Company,
      with all its purposes, powers and objects, shall continue in effect and
      unimpaired by the merger, and the corporate identity and existence, with all
      the
      purposes, powers, and objects of the Alabama Company, shall be merged into
      the
      Texas Company and the Texas Company, as the company surviving the merger, shall
      be fully vested therewith. The separate existence and corporate organization
      of
      the Alabama Company shall cease as soon as the merger shall become effective
      as
      herein provided, and thereupon the Alabama Company and the Texas Company shall
      be a single company, to wit, the Texas Company (hereinafter sometimes referred
      to as the "Surviving Company"). This Agreement shall continue in effect and
      the
      merger shall become effective only if the Agreement is adopted by the
      stockholders of the Constituent Companies as provided in Article X hereof.
      Upon such adoption, that fact shall be certified upon the Agreement by the
      Secretary or Assistant Secretary of each of the Constituent Companies, under
      the
      seal thereon. Thereupon, under Section 5.04 of the Texas Business Corporation
      Act, Articles of Merger shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State
      of Texas, and under Section 10-2A-143 of the Alabama Business Corporation Act,
      Articles of Merger shall be filed with the Secretary of State of Alabama. The
      merger shall become effective on the date on which a Certificate of Merger
      is
      issued by the Secretary of State of Texas and the Secretary of State of
Alabama.
      

    

    ARTICLE
      II

    

    Upon
      the

      changed to "Skylink America Incorporated." Such Articles of Incorporation are
      made a part of this Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth
      in

    ARTICLE
      III

    

    Upon
      the
      effective date of the merger, the Bylaws of the Texas Company shall be the

      effective date of the merger, the Surviving Company shall continue in existence
      and, without further transfer, succeed to and possess all of the rights,
      privileges, and purposes of each of the Constituent Companies; and all of the
      property, real and personal, including subscriptions to shares, causes
      of
      action and every other asset of each of the Constituent Companies, shall vest
      in
      the Surviving Company without further act or deed; and the Surviving Company
      shall be liable for all of the liabilities, obligations and penalties of each
      of
      the Constituent Companies. No liability or obligation due or to become due,
      claim or demand for any cause existing against either Constituent Company,
      or
      any stockholder, officer, director or employee thereof, shall be released or
      impaired by such merger. No action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal,
      then pending by or against either Constituent Company or any stockholder,
      officer, director or employee thereof shall abate or be discontinued by such
      merger, but may be enforced, prosecuted, defended, settled or compromised as
      if
      such merger had not occurred and the Surviving Company may be substituted in
      any
      action or proceeding in place of either Constituent Company.

      property or rights of the Constituent Companies, or otherwise to carry out
      the
      provisions hereof, the proper officers and directors of the Constituent
      Companies, as of the effective date of the merger, shall execute and deliver
      any
      and all proper deeds, assignments and assurances in law, and do all things
      necessary or proper to vest, perfect or confirm title to such property or rights
      in the Surviving Company, and otherwise to carry out the provisions hereof.

      Surviving Company. Outstanding certificates representing shares of Common Stock
      of the Alabama Company shall thenceforth represent the same number of shares
      of
      Common Stock of the Surviving Company, and the holder thereof shall be entitled
      to precisely the same rights he would enjoy if he held certificates issued
      by
      the Surviving Company. Upon the surrender of any such certificate to the
      Surviving Company at the office of its transfer agent, the transferee or other
      holder of the certificates surrendered shall receive in exchange therefor a
      certificate or certificates of the Surviving Company. Upon the effective date

      the merger, each outstanding option or right to purchase or otherwise acquire
      shares of Common Stock of the

Alabama
      Company shall be converted, forthwith upon the merger becoming effective, into
      and become an option or right to purchase or otherwise acquire the same number
      of shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Company on the same terms and
      conditions, and, in connection therewith, the same number of shares of Common

      Company as were reserved by the Alabama Company immediately prior to the merger.
      

    
 

    ARTICLE

      the
      effective date of the merger, shall be cancelled and retired. 

    

    ARTICLE
      VIII

    

    The
      officers and directors of the Alabama Company immediately prior to the effective
      date of the merger shall serve as the officers and directors of the Surviving
      Company, until their successors shall have been elected and shall qualify or
      as
      otherwise provided in the Bylaws of the Surviving Company.

     

    If,
      on or
      after the effective date of the merger, a vacancy shall exist in the Board

      Directors of the Surviving Company, or in any of the offices specified above,
      such vacancy may be filled in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Surviving
      Company. 

    

    ARTICLE
      IX

    

    All
      corporate acts, plans, policies, approvals and authorizations of the Alabama
      Company, its stockholders, Board of Directors, committees elected or appointed
      by the Board of Directors, officers and agents, which were valid and effective
      immediately prior to the effective date of the merger, shall be taken for all
      purposes as the acts, plans, policies, approvals and authorizations of the
      Surviving Company and shall be as effective and binding thereon as they were
      on
      the Alabama Company. Without limiting the foregoing, all stock option, stock
      purchase and profit sharing plans of the Alabama Company, all as amended and
      in
      effect immediately prior to the merger becoming effective, and any and all
      outstanding options and rights thereunder, shall be continued by the Surviving
      Company, which shall be substituted for the Alabama Company. Such merger shall
      not, in itself, effect any other change in such plans, options or rights. The
      employees of the Alabama Company shall become the employees of the Surviving
      Company and continue to be entitled to the same rights and benefits they enjoyed
      as employees of the Alabama Company. It is intended that the transaction
      described herein qualifies as a reorganization within the definition of Clause
      (F) of
      Section 368(a)(1) of
      the
      Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

    This
      Agreement shall be submitted to the stockholders of each of the Constituent

      the

      merger shall become effective only if the Agreement is adopted by the
      stockholders of the Constituent Companies as provided in Article X hereof.
      Upon
      such adoption, that fact shall be certified upon the Agreement by the Secretary

      changed to "Skylink America Incorporated." Such Articles of Incorporation are
      made a part of this Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth
      in

      amended, or repealed in accordance with the law, the Articles of Incorporation,
      and such Bylaws. 

     

    ARTICLE
      IV

     

    On
      the

      and, without further transfer, succeed to and possess all of the rights,
