(1)           a number of shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of the common stock of Parent ("Parent Common Stock") equal to the quotient obtained from dividing (1) $1,245,609 by (2) $0.73, and then dividing such quotient by the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, plus,
 
(2)           if the Surviving Corporation produces at least $800,000 of net profit by the first anniversary of the Effective Time, a number of additional shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the quotient obtained from dividing (1) $300,000 by (2) the average closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock (as reported on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Surviving Corporation's determination of its net profit) and then dividing such quotient by the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, plus
 
(3)           if the Surviving Corporation produces at least $1,000,000 of net profit by the first anniversary of the Effective Time, a number of additional shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the quotient obtained from dividing (1) $200,000 by (2) the average closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock (as reported on the OTCBB for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Surviving Corporation's determination of its net profit) and then dividing such quotient by the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, plus

4.  Fractional Shares.  No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall be entitled to receive from Parent an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (a) such fraction, multiplied by (b) $0.73.
 
5.  Dissenting Shares.  Any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive Parent Common Stock and/or the applicable cash amount but shall be converted into such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the law of the State of California.  If after the Effective Time any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then as of the occurrence of the event which causes the loss of such status, such shares shall be converted into the right to receive Parent Common Stock and/or the applicable cash amount in accordance with Section 3.
 
6.  Conversion of Company Common Stock.  The conversion of the Company Common Stock into the right to receive Parent Common Stock and cash as provided by this Agreement of Merger shall occur automatically at the Effective Time without action by the holders thereof.  Each holder of Company Common Stock shall thereupon have the right to receive certificates representing the applicable number of shares of Parent Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) and cash in accordance with the Merger Agreement upon compliance with the exchange procedures set forth therein.
 
7.  Effect of the Merger.  At the Effective Time, the separate existence of the Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall succeed, without other transfer, to all of the rights and properties of Merger Sub and shall be subject to all the debts and liabilities thereof in the same manner as if Merger Sub had itself incurred them.  All rights of creditors and all liens upon the property of each corporation shall be preserved unimpaired, provided that such liens upon property of each corporation shall be limited to the property affected thereby immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
