ARTICLE 2. CONVERSION OF AND PAYMENT FOR STOCK 2.1 Conversion. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof: (a) Each issued and outstanding share of the Company's common stock (the "Company Shares") shall be converted into the right to receive from Acquiror (i) $100.00, in cash (the "Cash Payment"), and (ii) 1,550 shares of the common stock of Acquiror (the "Merger Shares") (the Cash Payment and the Merger Shares are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Merger Consideration.") (b) Each issued and outstanding share of Newco shall be converted into one validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. 2.2 Payments; Escrow. (a) on the Execution Date, Acquiror shall pay to the Company Shareholders, in accordance with the Percentages, $300,000, in cash, which shall be non- refundable in the event that the Merger is not consummated by June 1, 2000 (the "Drop Dead Date") as a result solely of a failure by Acquiror to perform any of its covenants or obligations hereunder; provided that the amount so paid shall be credited against the Cash Payment in the event the Merger is consummated; (b) by the close of business on May 1, 2000, Acquiror shall pay to the Company Shareholders, in accordance with the Percentages, $200,000, in cash, which shall be non-refundable in the event that the Merger is not consummated by the Drop Dead Date as a result solely of a failure by Acquiror to perform any of its covenants or obligations hereunder; provided that the amount so paid shall be credited against the Cash Payment in the event the Merger is consummated; (c) at the Effective Time, Acquiror shall deposit $500,000, in cash (the "Balance Payment"), into a mutually acceptable, interest-bearing escrow account (the "Escrow Account"), subject to the terms and provisions of an escrow agreement in substantially the same form as Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Escrow Agreement"), which funds, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be released to the Company Shareholders, in accordance with the Percentages (i) $250,000 on July 17, 2000, plus interest earned thereon, and (ii) $250,000 on October 15, 2000, plus all interest earned thereon. (d) at the Effective Time, Acquiror shall issue to the Company Shareholders, in accordance with the Percentages, two-thirds of the Merger Shares, or 10,333,333 shares (the "Closing Shares"), issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, and the remaining one-third of the Merger Shares, or 5,166,667 shares (the "Escrow Shares") shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent designated in the Escrow Agreement which Escrow Shares shall be subject to the Escrow Agreement and which shall be released to the Company Shareholders by 5:00 p.m. on January 15, 2001 (the "Release Date"); provided that if the Surviving Corporation's gross revenues for calendar year 2000 shall be less than $8 Million, then the number of Escrow Shares released to the Company Shareholders on the Release Date shall be reduced by the same percentage by which the actual gross sales of the Surviving Corporation fell short of $8 Million; provided, further, that if the Surviving Corporation's gross revenues for calendar year 2000 exceed $10 Million, then in addition to releasing to the Company Shareholders all of the Escrow Shares, Acquiror shall issue to the Company Shareholders, on the Release Date, additional shares of Acquiror's common stock (the "Additional Shares") so that the total number of shares of Acquiror's common stock received by the Company Shareholders as Merger Consideration (i.e. 15.5 million shares) is increased by the same percentage by which actual gross revenues of the Surviving Corporation exceeded $10 Million Dollars. For illustration purposes only, if the Surviving Corporation's gross revenues for calendar year 2000 are (i) $7,000,000, then the shortfall in revenues is 12.5% and the number of Escrow Shares released to the Company Shareholders on the Release Date would be reduced by 12.5%; or (ii) $12,000,000, then the increase in revenues would be 20% and the number of Merger Shares would be increased by 20% , so the Additional Shares would equal 3,100,000 shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, prior to the Release Date, substantially all of the business of the Company is sold in a transaction or series of related transaction to a party unaffiliated with Acquiror, whether pursuant to an asset sale, stock sale, merger or otherwise (a "Company Sale"), then immediately upon effectiveness of the Company Sale, the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Company Shareholders. Additionally, if as of the effectiveness of the Company Sale, the annualized gross revenues for the Company exceed $10 million, then Acquiror shall also issue Additional Shares to the Company Shareholders, calculated as set forth above. 2.3 Make Whole Shares. Acquiror agrees to guarantee a $0.50 per share stock value of the Closing Shares, the Escrow Shares and the Additional Shares. The stock price will be determined based on the average of the low and high bid prices for Acquiror's common stock quoted for the last ten trading days prior to three business days prior to the effectiveness of a registration covering the subject shares as provided in the Registration Rights described below (the "Effective Date"). In connection therewith, Acquiror agrees to subtract the stock price, calculated as set forth above, from $0.50 and, on the Effective Date, issue to the Company Shareholders shares of Acquiror's common stock with a fair market value equal to the aggregate amount of such shortfall (the "Make Whole Shares"). By way of illustration, if the Closing Shares, the Escrow Shares and the Additional Shares total 20 million shares, but the fair market value as determined on effective date is only $0.30 per share, then Acquiror would have to issue to the Company Shareholders an amount of Make Whole Shares with a fair market value equal to $4,000,000 (20 million X $0.20), or 13,333,333 shares ($4 million/$0.30 ). 2.4 Registration of Acquiror Shares. Acquiror hereby grants to the Company Shareholders those Registration Rights set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto regarding the Closing Shares, the Escrow Shares, the Additional Shares and the Make Whole Shares (collectively, the "Acquiror Shares") 2.5 YesRx.com Option Package. In addition to the consideration set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, Acquiror agrees to offer to the Company Shareholders the right to acquire, in the aggregate no less than 5% of the outstanding capital stock of YesRx.com, on a fully-diluted basis, if and when Acquiror spins off the business of YesRx.com, with a per share exercise price not to exceed 70% of the lower of either (i) the per share "strike price" for YesRx.com shares upon the effectiveness of an initial public offering of its stock, and (ii) the fair market value of YesRx.com shares on the date of exercise of the option. 2.6 Board of Directors. For so long as the Company Shareholders own at least 50% of the Acquiror's Shares issued to them pursuant to the Merger, the Company Shareholders shall have the right to elect one director to the Board of Directors of Acquiror. ARTICLE 3. CERTAIN EFFECTS OF MERGER 3.1 Certain Effects of the Merger. As and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 1107 of the California Corporations Code, including (without limitation) that the Surviving Corporation, which shall be wholly-owned by Acquiror, will succeed, without other transfer, to all the rights, and property of the Constituent Corporations and shall be subject to all the debts and liabilities of each of the Constituent Corporations as if the Surviving Corporation had itself incurred them. 3.2 Deliveries at Effective Time.

If an entity or individual having an indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation, as above provided, shall fail to assume such obligation, then the party or entities or both, as the case may be, to whom such indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation is due shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume and maintain such defense (including reasonable counsel fees and costs of any suit related thereto) and to make any settlement or pay any judgment or verdict as the individual or entities deem necessary or appropriate in such individual's or entities' absolute sole discretion and to charge the cost of any such settlement, payment, expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the entity or individual that had the obligation to provide such indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation and same shall constitute an additional obligation of the entity or of the individual or both, as the case may be. 7.6 Limitation on Indemnity. (a) The indemnification obligations of the Company Shareholders and the Acquiror with respect to any breach of any representations or warranties pursuant to Sections 7.2(a) and 7.3(a), respectively, shall be limited to claims for indemnity made prior to the last date of survival thereof as set forth in Section 7.1. The indemnification obligation of the Company Shareholders and the Acquiror with respect to any breach of any covenant, agreement or other obligations pursuant to Sections 7.2(b) and 7.3(b), respectively, shall survive indefinitely subject to the terms of this Agreement. (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum amount of Damages for which the Company Shareholders shall be liable, in the aggregate, pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof shall be an amount equal to the $1 Million plus the fair market value of the Acquiror Shares at the time the Company Shareholders become liable for such indemnification.
