         3.1      Effect of Merger on Capital Stock.
                  ---------------------------------

                  (a) At the Effective Time of the Merger, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the
holders of shares of the Company Stock, the outstanding shares of Company Stock
will be cancelled and extinguished and be converted automatically into:

                           (i) the right to receive, upon surrender of the

number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the lesser of (A) 1,166,667
shares or (B) the quotient determined by dividing the aggregate sum of
$3,500,000 by the average "bid" price for the Acquiror's Common Stock for the
ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date (the "Initial
Consideration"), plus

                           (ii) the contingent right to receive that number of
additional shares of Acquiror's Common Stock (the "Contingent Consideration")
determined pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(ii) as follows: (A) if on June 1,
2007 the most recent ten (10) day average "bid" price of Acquiror's Common Stock
(the "Value Price") is equal to or greater than $2.50 per share, there shall be
no Contingent Consideration, (B) if the Value Price on June 1, 2007 is equal to
or greater than $2.00 per share but less than $2.50 per share, the Contingent
Consideration shall equal 375,000 shares of the Acquiror's Common Stock, (C) if
the Value Price on June 1, 2007 is equal to or greater than $1.50 per share but

1,150,000 shares of the Acquiror's Common Stock. For purposes hereof the Initial
Consideration and any Contingent Consideration shall sometimes be collectively

                  (b) The Initial Consideration and the Contingent Consideration
(if any) to be delivered to each Company Shareholder shall be allocated among
them on the basis of each Company Shareholder's Company Shareholder Pro Rata
Portion.

                  (c) The Company, and on its behalf Acquiror and the Surviving
Corporation, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration
payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or
former holder of Company Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or
withheld there from under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax
law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts

converted into and continue as one share of the common stock of the Surviving
Corporation.

         3.2 No Dissenting Shares(a) . A condition to the Closing and completion
of the Merger is that all of the shareholders of Company Stock approve the
Merger and agree to participate in the Merger such that no holder shall have a
right to exercise dissenters' rights under Hawaii Law.

                  (a) The Chief Financial Officer of Acquiror, or an institution
selected by Acquiror, shall serve as the exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent")
for the Merger.

                  (b) Within three (3) business days following the Effective
Time of the Merger, Acquiror shall make available to the Exchange Agent for
exchange in accordance with this Article 3, the amount of the Initial
Consideration payable pursuant to Section 3.1(a) hereof in exchange for
outstanding shares of Company Stock.

                  (c) On or after the Closing Date (but in no event later than
ten (10) business days after the Effective Time of the Merger), Acquiror shall
or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, mail a letter of transmittal, in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Letter of Transmittal"), to each Company
Shareholder at the address set forth opposite each such Company Shareholder's
name on the Schedule 3.1(a) hereto. After receipt of such Letter of Transmittal,
the Company Shareholders will surrender the certificates representing their
shares of Company Stock to the Exchange Agent for cancellation together with a
duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal. Upon surrender of a
stock certificate representing shares of the Company Stock for cancellation to
the Exchange Agent, or such other agent or agents as may be appointed by
Acquiror, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly
executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, subject to the terms of
Section 3.3(e) hereof, the holder of such stock certificate shall be entitled to
receive from the Exchange Agent in exchange therefor, the amount of the Initial
Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(a)
hereof, and all stock certificates so surrendered shall be cancelled. Until so
surrendered, each stock certificate representing shares of Company Stock
outstanding after the Effective Time of the Merger will be deemed from and for
all corporate purposes thereafter, to evidence only the right to receive the
portion of the Total Consideration for which such shares of Company Stock shall
have been so exchanged. No payments or other distributions of any portion of the
Total Consideration will be made until the holder of Company Stock surrenders
his, her or its stock certificate(s) pursuant hereto.

                  (d) If any portion of the Total Consideration is to be issued
in a name other than that in which the Company stock certificate surrendered in
exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance or
delivery thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed
and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such
exchange will have paid to Acquiror or any agent designated by it any transfer
or other taxes required by reason of the payment of any portion of the Total
Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the
certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Acquiror or any
agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

<PAGE>

                  (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
3.3, neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any party hereto
shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Stock for any amount properly
paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat
or similar law.

         3.4 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The payment of the
Total Consideration paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of
Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be full
satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock, and there
shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving
Corporation of shares of Company Stock which were outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time of the Merger. If, after the Effective Time of the Merger,
any stock certificates representing shares of Company Stock are presented to the
Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as
provided in this Article 3.

         3.5 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any
certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or
destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
holder thereof, such amount, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof; provided, however, that Acquiror may, in its discretion and as a
condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Company Shareholder who
is the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to provide an
indemnification agreement in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Acquiror, against any claim that may be made against Acquiror or the Exchange
Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed.

         3.6 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If at any time after
the Effective Time of the Merger, 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, Acquiror, Merger Sub,
and the officers and directors of the Company, Acquiror and Merger Sub are fully
authorized in the name of their respective Companies or otherwise to take, and
will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

constitute, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, a default
under any such provision, require any consent or waiver under any such provision

Shareholders, none of the activities or business conducted by the Company or
presently proposed to be conducted by the Company infringes, violates or
constitutes a misappropriation of (or in the past infringed, violated or
constituted a misappropriation of) any Proprietary Rights of any other person or
entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the activities or business
conducted by the Company or presently proposed to be conducted by the Company
infringes, violates or constitutes a misappropriation of (or in the past
infringed, violated or constituted a misappropriation of) any issued patents or
registered trademarks of any other person or entity. The Company has not
received any complaint, claim or notice alleging any such infringement,
violation or misappropriation, and to the Knowledge of the Company and the
Principal Shareholders, there is no basis for any such complaint, claim or
notice.

                  (c) Schedule 4.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule identifies
each (i) patent that has been issued or assigned to the Company with respect to
any of its Proprietary Rights, (ii) pending patent application that the Company
has made with respect to any of its Proprietary Rights, (iii) copyright,
trademark or service mark registration or application with respect to its
Proprietary Rights, (iv) domain name registration or application with respect to
its Proprietary Rights, and (v) mask work registration or application with
respect to its Proprietary Rights.

                  (d) Schedule 4.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule identifies
each agreement (other than employee and consultant agreements concerning
assignment of inventions) with a third party pursuant to which the Company
obtains rights to Proprietary Rights material to the business of the Company as
currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted (other than
software that is generally commercially available on similar terms to all

<PAGE>

commercial licensees) that are owned by a party other than the Company. Other
than license fees for software that is generally commercially available on
similar terms to all commercial licenses, the Company is not obligated to pay
any royalties or other compensation to any third party in respect of its
ownership, use or license of any of its Proprietary Rights.

                  (e) The Company has taken reasonable precautions and actions,
which are not less than those reasonable precautions and actions taken by other
similarly situated entities in the industry, (i) to protect its rights in its
Proprietary Rights and (ii) to maintain the confidentiality of its trade
secrets, know-how and other confidential Proprietary Rights. To the Knowledge of
the Company and the Principal Shareholders, there have been no acts or omissions
by the officers, directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors or
other agents of the Company, which could materially compromise the rights of the
Company in its Proprietary Rights, including without limitation the Company's
ability to apply for or enforce appropriate legal protection of the Company's
Proprietary Rights.

                  (f) All Proprietary Rights owned by the Company either: (i)
have been created by employees of the Company within the scope of their
employment by the Company or by independent contractors of the Company, each of
whom has executed agreements expressly assigning all right, title and interest
in such Proprietary Rights to the Company; or (ii) if created by parties other
than employees or independent contractors of the Company, have been validly
assigned to the Company. No portion of Proprietary Rights owned by the Company
was jointly developed with any third party who has not validly assigned all
right, title and interest therein to Company. To the Knowledge of the Company
and the Principal Shareholders, no other person or entity (including without
limitation any prior employer of any employee of the Company) has any right to,
or interest in, any of the Proprietary Rights owned by the Company that is
material to the business of the Company as currently conducted or as currently
proposed to be conducted (other than software that is generally commercially
available on reasonably similar terms to all commercial licensees).

                  (g) Neither the Company nor the Principal Shareholder is aware
that any of its employees or independent contractors is obligated under any
contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other
agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of such employee's or
independent contractor's best efforts to promote the interest of the Company or
that would conflict with the Company's business as now conducted. Neither the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's
business by the employees and independent contractors of the Company, nor the
conduct of the Company's business as now conducted, will, to the Knowledge of
the Company and the Principal Shareholders, conflict with or result in a breach
of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any
contract, covenant or instrument under which any such employee or independent
contractor is now obligated. It is not nor will be necessary to use any
inventions of any of the Company's employees made prior to their employment by
the Company that have not been previously assigned or licensed to the Company.

Company and the Principal Shareholders, are there any union organization

There are no obligations of the Company to employees, officers, directors or
shareholders of the Company (or commitments to make loans or extend or guarantee
credit) other than for payment for services rendered, reimbursement for
reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and for standard employee
benefits made generally available to all employees. No employee, officer or
director of the Company or member of his or her immediate family is entitled to

Company intends to initiate.

         4.13 Title to Property and Assets. The Company has good and marketable
title to all of its real property and other tangible assets that it owns free
and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans and encumbrances, except liens for
current taxes and assessments not yet due and minor liens and encumbrances which
arise in the ordinary course of business and which do not, in any case, in the
aggregate, materially detract from the value or use of the property subject
thereto or materially impair the operations of the Company. With respect to the
property and assets it leases, the Company is in compliance with such leases and
holds a valid leasehold interest free of all liens, claims or encumbrances.

         4.14 Permits. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and any
similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being
conducted, the lack of which would have a Material Adverse Effect, and the
Company believes it can obtain, without undue burden or expense, any similar
authority for the conduct of its business as it is currently planned to be
conducted. The Company is not in default in any material respect under any of
such franchises, permits, licenses or other similar authority.

                  (a) Schedule 4.15 of the Company Disclosure Schedule

                  (b) Each of the policies identified in Schedule 4.15 of the
Company Disclosure Schedule is valid, enforceable and in full force and effect.
The nature, scope and dollar amounts of the insurance coverage provided by said

Contracts.

                  (c) There is no pending claim under or based upon any of the

warranties of the Company and the Principal Shareholders contained herein, and

         8.2      Indemnification.
                  ---------------

                  (a) Each of the Principal Shareholders shall severally, and
not jointly, as further specified below, indemnify the Acquiror and its,
respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners and agents as

harmless from, any damage, claim, loss, cost, liability or expense, including
without limitation, interest, penalties, attorneys' fees and expenses of
investigation and defense and diminution in value (collectively "Damages")
incurred by such Indemnified Party, that arise out of or in connection with, or
result from the breach of any warranty or representation of the Company
contained in this Agreement or in any agreement, certificate or other instrument
delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any breach or
non-performance by the Company of any of its covenants or agreements contained
in this Agreement. Each Principal Shareholder will contribute an amount based on
their Pro-Rata Share of the claim amount.

                  (b) The term "Damages" as used in this Section 8.2 is not
limited to matters asserted by third parties against Indemnified Parties, but
includes Damages actually incurred or sustained by such Indemnified Parties in

<PAGE>

related recoveries actually received by the Indemnified Party under insurance
policies and any tax benefits actually received by the Indemnified Party or any
of its affiliates on account of the matter resulting in such Damages or the
payment of such Damages and shall be increased to compensate the Indemnified
Party or any of its affiliates for any tax payable as a result of such
indemnification payment.

give to the person obligated to provide indemnification under this Article VIII
(an "Indemnitor") a notice (a "Claim Notice") describing in reasonable detail
the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder. For avoidance
of doubt, a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim may only be made
based on an actual or threatened claim received from a Third Party.

                  (b) The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days after the
giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto to (i) agree to the amount or method
of determination set forth in the Claim Notice and to pay such amount to such
Indemnified Party in immediately available funds, or (ii) to provide such
Indemnified Party with notice that it disagrees with the amount or method of
determination set forth in the Claim Notice (the "Dispute Notice"), which notice
shall include the basis, with reasonable specificity, of the objection.

                  (c) Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of the Dispute
Notice, representatives of Indemnitor and such Indemnified Party shall negotiate
in a bona fide attempt to resolve the matter. In the event that the controversy
is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the giving of the Dispute Notice, the
parties shall proceed to binding arbitration construed in accordance with the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq. pursuant to the following
procedures:

                           (i) Any party may send another party written notice
identifying the matter in dispute and invoking the procedures of this
Subsections 8.3. Within fourteen (14) days, each party involved in the dispute
shall meet at a mutually agreed location in Santa Clara County, California, for
the purpose of determining whether they can resolve the dispute themselves by
written agreement, and, if not, whether they can agree upon a third-party
arbitrator to whom to submit the matter in dispute for final and binding
arbitration.

                           (ii) If such parties fail to resolve the dispute by
written agreement or agree on the Arbitrator within said 14-day period, any such
party may make written application to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation
Services ("JAMS"), San Francisco, California for the appointment of a single
arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") to resolve the dispute by arbitration. At the
request of JAMS the parties involved in the dispute shall meet with JAMS at its
offices within ten (10) calendar days of such request to discuss the dispute and
the qualifications and experience which each party respectively believes the

<PAGE>

Arbitrator should have; provided, however, that the selection of the Arbitrator
shall be the exclusive decision of JAMS and shall be made within thirty (30)
days of the written application to JAMS.

                           (iii) Within thirty (30) days of the selection of the
Arbitrator, the parties involved in the dispute shall meet in Santa Clara
County, California with such Arbitrator at a place and time designated by such
Arbitrator after consultation with such parties, and present their respective
positions on the dispute. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be made in
writing no more than thirty (30) days following the end of the proceeding. Such
an award shall be a final and binding determination of the dispute and shall be
fully enforceable as an arbitration decision in any court having jurisdiction
and venue over such parties. The prevailing party (as determined by the
Arbitrator) shall in addition be awarded by the Arbitrator such party's own
attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with such proceeding. The
non-prevailing party (as determined by the Arbitrator) shall pay the
Arbitrator's fees and expenses.

the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be
available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this
Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger
to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a
material breach of this Agreement);

                  (c) by either Acquiror or the Company if a court of competent
jurisdiction or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission
shall have issued a non-appealable final order, decree or ruling or taken any
other action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining,
enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger;

                  (d) by Acquiror or the Company, upon a breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company or
Acquiror, respectively, set forth in this Agreement such that the conditions to
close would not be satisfied, provided, that if such breach is curable through
the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, then the other party may not
terminate pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) in respect of such breach if such
breach is curable and shall have been cured within thirty (30) days following
notice by the other party of such breach, provided the breaching party continues
to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach during the thirty
(30) day period (it being understood that (i) the other party may not terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) after notice of such breach if
such breach shall have been cured within 30 days or the party seeking to

terminate shall then be in material breach of this Agreement and (ii) no cure
period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured).

with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California (as permitted

State of California to the rights and duties of the parties. Each of the parties
hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any court located in Santa
Clara County within the State of California, in connection with any matter based
upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees
that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the State of
California for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any
objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction and such process.
THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION
WITH ANY ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT, THE MERGER OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

         10.9     Waiver.

                  (a) No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any
power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part
of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this
Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy;
and no single or partial exercise or waiver of any such power, right, privilege
or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other
power, right, privilege or remedy.

                  (b) No Person shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising
out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this
Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is
expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on
behalf of such Person; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any
effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

         10.10 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered
or supplemented other than by means of a written instrument duly executed and
delivered on behalf of Acquiror, Merger Sub, and the Company. No amendment to
this Agreement which materially adversely affects the rights of or imposes
additional obligations upon the Company Shareholders shall be made without the
consent of a majority in interest of the Company Stock.

         10.11 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement,
or the application of any such provision to any Person or set of circumstances,
shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any
extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision
to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be
invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise
affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.

hereto and their respective successors and assigns (if any).

matter thereof, including the Letter of Intent.
