THE MERGER

Section 2.01. The Merger.

(a)        At the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with Florida Law, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(b)        As soon as practicable, but no later than the third Business Day after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions to the Merger, the Company and Merger Sub shall, and Acquiror shall cause Merger Sub to, file a certificate of merger in a form specified by Acquiror with the Florida Secretary of State and make all other filings or recordings required by Florida Law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Florida Secretary of State or at such later time as is specified in the certificate of merger.

(c)        From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Sub, all as provided under Florida Law.

Section 2.02. Conversion of Shares.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, the Acquiror, or Merger Sub:

(a)        except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b), Section 2.02(c) or Section 2.04, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive, net, $0.7723 per share, or an aggregate of $23,566,200 (the "Aggregate Consideration Payable to Shareholders") based on the 30,515,663 Shares expected to be outstanding at the Effective Time, in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the following circumstances, the Aggregate Consideration Payable to Shareholders, and thereby the amount payable to shareholders on a per Share basis as set forth above, shall be reduced, as follows:

7

(i)         if the Net Debt at the Effective Time exceeds $6,798,000, then the Aggregate Consideration Payable to Shareholders shall be reduced by the amount by which the Net Debt due at the Effective Time exceeds $6,798,000; and

(ii)         if the Enumerated Transaction Expenses due at the Effective Time exceed $2,350,000, then the Aggregate Consideration Payable to Shareholders shall be reduced by the amount by which the Enumerated Transaction Expenses due at the Effective Time exceed $2,350,000.

As soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than ten business days before the anticipated Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to Acquiror (i) schedules setting forth with specificity the anticipated Net Debt and the anticipated Enumerated Transaction Expenses expected to be due as of the Effective Time (“Anticipated Amounts”), (ii) supporting information with the respect to the calculation of the Anticipated Amounts and (iii) a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company attesting to the manner of the calculation of the Anticipated Amounts.  Within five business days thereafter, the Acquiror shall determine whether it agrees or disagrees with the Company’s calculations of the Anticipated Amounts. If the Acquiror does not agree with Company’s calculations, it shall, on or before the fifth business day before the Effective Time, provide the Company with schedules setting forth with specificity Acquiror’s calculations of the Anticipated Amounts. Thereafter, between the date that Acquiror presents its schedules and the Effective Time, the Company and the Acquiror shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreements before the Effective Time.

If after such discussions the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to the Anticipated Amounts to be outstanding as of the Effective Time, and as a result of such disagreement a reduction in the Aggregate Consideration Payable to Shareholders (or a larger reduction, as the case may be) would be required under this Section 2.02(a), the parties shall calculate the reduction in the Aggregate Consideration Payable to Shareholders based solely on Acquiror’s calculations and such computation shall be used for purposes of determining the Merger Consideration to be paid at the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the increased Merger Consideration that would have been payable to the Company’s shareholders hereunder if the Company’s determination of the Anticipated Amounts had been used, such excess amount shall be placed in escrow at the Effective Time with an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to both Company and Acquiror (“Escrowed Funds”).  At such time, the Acquiror and the Company shall also select an arbitrator, which shall be a firm of independent certified public accountants mutually agreed upon by the Acquiror and the Company (but not the Company’s or the Acquiror’s independent certified public accounting firms), to review such matters and request that such arbitrator determine the Net Debt and the Enumerated Transaction Expenses as of the Effective Time. The arbitrator’s

8

decision shall be made as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the Effective Time. The decision of the arbitrator shall be issued in writing to those persons who are the Company’s shareholders immediately prior to the Effective Time and to the Acquiror. The arbitrator's decision shall be final, non-appealable and binding on all parties. Based on the arbitrator's decision, the Escrowed Funds shall be paid to the holders of the Shares (as part of the Merger Consideration) or to the Acquiror, as applicable. In any event, the Company shall pay the fees of the arbitrator.

(b)        each Share held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and

(c)        each share of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.03. Surrender and Payment.

(a)        Prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror shall appoint Corporate Stock Transfer or another agent who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) pursuant to an agreement that shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”). Acquiror shall make available to the Exchange Agent, as needed, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares. Such funds shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation pending payment thereof by the Exchange Agent to the holders of the Shares; provided, however, that such investments shall be held by the Exchange Agent and only be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time, but no later than 5 Business Days following the Effective Time, Acquiror shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of Shares at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

9

(b)        Each holder of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration payable for each Share represented by a Certificate or for each Uncertificated Share. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

(c)        If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d)        After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(e)        Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Acquiror, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged such Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Acquiror for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such Shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquiror shall not be liable to any holder of Shares for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares two years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any governmental authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the property of Acquiror free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f)         Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) to pay for Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Acquiror, upon demand.

10

Section 2.04.         Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.02, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Florida Law shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive the Merger Consideration which, to the extent permitted by law, will bear no interest. The Company shall give Acquiror prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, and Acquiror shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Acquiror, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

Section 2.05.         Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date (a “Company Option”) pursuant to the Company’s 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) shall be cancelled by the Company in consideration for which the holder thereof shall thereupon be entitled to receive promptly (but in no event later than five Business Days) after the Effective Time, a cash payment from Acquiror in respect of such cancellation in an amount (if any) equal to:

(i)         the product of (x) the number of Shares subject to such Company Option and (y) the price per Share represented by the per share consideration in Section 2.02(a), minus

(ii)         the exercise price per Share of each such Company Option (in all cases, $0.36 per share) and (ii) all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld.

Section 2.06.         Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding Shares shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of Shares, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 2.07.         Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 2 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law. If the Surviving Corporation or Acquiror, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the

11

holder of the Shares in respect of which the Surviving Corporation or Acquiror, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.08.         Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

ARTICLE 3

THE SURVIVING CORPORATION

Section 3.01.         Certificate of Incorporation. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company as in effect at the Effective Time shall be amended in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit A hereto and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation (the “Articles”) until amended in accordance with applicable law.

Section 3.02.         Bylaws. The bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (the “Bylaws”) until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

Section 3.03.         Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable law the directors and Officers of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall be the directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

The Company has made available to Acquiror all correspondence of the Company, including any comment letters and the responses thereto, from or to the SEC or its staff since October 1, 2002.

(b)        As of its filing date, each Company SEC Document complied, and each such Company SEC Document filed subsequent to the date hereof will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, as the case may be.

(c)        As of its filing date (or, if amended or superceded by a filing prior to the date hereof, on the date of such filing), each Company SEC Document filed pursuant to the 1934 Act did not, and each such Company SEC Document filed subsequent to the date hereof will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d)        Each Company SEC Document that is a registration statement, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, filed pursuant to the 1933 Act, as of the date such statement or amendment became effective, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(e)        The Company has put in place disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the 1934 Act.

Section 4.07.        Sarbanes-Oxley Act; Financial Statements; Internal Controls. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder that are effective as to the Company of the date hereof, except as would not be reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the

15

Company included in the Company SEC Documents fairly present, in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject to normal year-end adjustments in the case of any unaudited interim financial statements). The books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been, and are being, maintained, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal and accounting requirements. The Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting are reasonably sufficient in all material respects to provide reasonable assurance (i) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, (ii) that receipts and expenditures are executed in accordance with the authorization of management and (iii) regarding prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s financial statements. No significant deficiency or material weakness was identified in management’s assessment of internal controls as of July 24, 2005 (nor has any such deficiency or weakness been identified between that date and the date of this Agreement). The Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the 1934 Act, are reasonably designed to ensure that (i) all material information, both financial and non-financial that is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported to the individuals responsible for preparing such reports within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and (ii) all such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management or to other individuals responsible for preparing such reports as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company required under the 1934 Act with respect to such reports. Since the date of their last certification filed with the SEC, neither the chief executive officer of the Company nor the chief financial officer of the Company has become aware of any fact, circumstance, or change that is reasonably likely to result in a “significant deficiency” or a “material weakness” in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The audit committee of the Board of Directors of the Company includes an Audit Committee Financial Expert, as defined by Item 401(h)(2) of Regulation S-K. The Company has adopted a code of ethics, as defined by Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K, for senior financial officers, applicable to its principal financial officer, comptroller or principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. The Company has promptly disclosed any change in or waiver of the Company’s code of ethics with respect to any such persons, as required by Section 406(b) of SOX. To the Company’s Knowledge, there have been no violations of provisions of the Company’s code of ethics by any such persons.
