THE MERGER

        1.01 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined), and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger Certificates, ROLFE will be merged with and into BGI, and BGI will be the Surviving Corporation. The term "Surviving Corporation" appearing in this Agreement denotes BGI after consummation of the Merger. BGI's existence, and all its purposes, powers, and objectives will continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger, and as the Surviving Corporation it will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and succeed to all of ROLFE's rights, assets, liabilities, and obligations in accordance with the laws of the States of Florida and Delaware. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

        1.02 Closing and Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the parties shall hold a closing (the "Closing") on (i) the first business day on which the last of the conditions set forth in Article VI to be fulfilled prior to the Closing is fulfilled or waived or (ii) such other date (the "Closing Date") and at such time and place as the parties hereto may agree. Immediately upon the Closing, the parties will cause the Merger Certificates to be filed with the offices of the Secretaries of State of the States of Florida and Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of the statutes of such states. Subject to and in accordance with such laws, the Merger will become effective at the date and time the Merger Certificates are filed with the offices of the Secretaries of State of the States of Florida and Delaware (the "Effective Time").

         1.03 Survival of Assets and Liabilities.

        (a)         All rights and interests of each of ROLFE and BGI in and to every type of property shall be transferred to and vested in the Surviving Corporation by virtue of the Merger without any deed or other transfer. The Surviving Corporation, as of the Effective Time of the Merger and without any order or other action on the part of any court or otherwise, shall hold and enjoy all rights of property, franchises and interests in the same manner and to the same extent as such rights, franchises, and interests were held or enjoyed by each of ROLFE and BGI immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.

         (b)         After the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for all liabilities of each of ROLFE and BGI, and all debts, liabilities, obligations and contracts of each of ROLFE and BGI matured or unmatured, whether accrued, absolute, contingent, or otherwise, and whether or not reflected or reserved against on balance sheets, books of account or records of either ROLFE or BGI, as the case may be, shall be those of and are hereby expressly assumed by the Surviving Corporation and shall not be released or impaired by the Merger; and all rights of creditors and other obligees and all liens on property of either ROLFE or BGI shall be preserved unimpaired.

         1.04 Conversion of Shares in the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Certificate, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any capital stock of BGI or ROLFE, each share of common stock, par value $0.001, of ROLFE (the "ROLFE Common Stock") which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by shareholders of ROLFE shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001, of BGI (the "BGI Common Stock"). The shares of BGI Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Section 1.04 are referred to herein as the "Merger Shares." From and after the Effective Time, no shares of ROLFE Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding, and holders thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except as provided herein or by law. All of the Merger Shares will be, when issued in accordance with this Agreement, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free and clear of all liens, claims, pledges, options, adverse claims or charges of any nature whatsoever.

         1.05 Cancellation of ROLFE Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of shares of ROLFE Common Stock, all outstanding shares of ROLFE Common Stock shall be cancelled.

        1.06 Stock Certificates. At and after the Effective Time, each holder of shares of ROLFE Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, upon surrender thereof to OTC Corporate Transfer Services Co. (the "Exchange Agent"), a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of BGI Common Stock into which such holder's shares of ROLFE Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 1.04. At and after the Effective Time, BGI shall be entitled to treat all of the outstanding certificates which prior to that time represented shares of ROLFE Common Stock, and which have not been surrendered for exchange, as evidencing the ownership of the number of whole shares of BGI Common Stock into which the shares of ROLFE Common Stock represented by such certificates have been converted as herein provided, notwithstanding the failure to surrender the certificates representing such interests.

        1.07 Officers, Directors; Bylaws. The officers and directors of ROLFE immediately before the Effective Time shall serve as the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time. The Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation as in effect immediately before the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time.

        1.08 Principal Office. The established offices and facilities of BGI immediately prior to the Merger shall become the established offices and facilities of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time.

        1.09 Appraisal Rights. The shareholders of BGI who, except for the application of Section 607.1104 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the "FBCA"), would be entitled to vote to approve the Merger and who dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 607.1321 of the FBCA, may be entitled, if they comply with the provisions of the FBCA regarding appraisal rights, to be paid the fair value of their shares of BGI Common Stock.
