other  transfer,  to  all  rights  and  property  of  each  of  the  Constituent
Corporations  and  shall be  subject  to all the debts  and  liabilities  of the
Constituent  Corporations in the same manner as if the Surviving Corporation had

duties of each of the Constituent Corporations as provided in Section 251 of the
Delaware Statute.

parties  intend that the Merger be treated as a tax-free  reorganization  within

any action  inconsistent  with this Section 1.6 unless  otherwise  required by a

agreed to in writing by the parties. The Closing shall take place at the offices

                (a) DEFINITIONS.

                    (i)  "COMPANY  STOCK   FRACTION"  shall  equal  1.00  (which
reflects the  effectiveness  of the Company  Reverse  Stock Split (as defined in
Section 5.9).

16,833,471  shares  of  Parent  Common  Stock to be  issued  upon  exchange  and

(y) the 5,000,000  shares of Parent  Preferred  Stock to be issued upon exchange
and conversion of Series C Preferred Stock, in accordance with this Article 2.

                (b) EFFECTIVE OF MERGER. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the  parties,  the  following  will
occur:

                    (i) CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY.  All shares of (x) Company
Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, if any, and Series B Preferred Stock, if
any, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held
by the  Company as treasury  stock) will be  cancelled  and  converted  into and
become  the right to  receive,  in the  aggregate,  16,833,471  shares of Parent
Common Stock, to be distributed to the stockholders of the Company in accordance
with Section 2.1(b)(iv),  and (y) Series C Preferred Stock, if any,  outstanding
immediately  prior to the Effective  Time (other than shares held by the Company
as treasury  stock) will be cancelled and converted into and become the right to
receive,  in the aggregate,  5,000,000  shares of Parent  Preferred Stock, to be
distributed  to the  stockholders  of the  Company in  accordance  with  Section
2.1(b)(iv).

                    (ii)  CANCELLATION  OF CERTAIN SHARES OF COMPANY STOCK.  All
shares of Company  Stock that is held at the  Effective  Time by the  Company as
treasury  stock or that is  authorized  but unissued  will be  cancelled  and no
payment will be made with respect to those shares;

                    (iii)  CAPITAL  STOCK  OF  ACQUISITION  SUB.  Each  share of
capital stock of Acquisition Sub outstanding  immediately prior to the Effective
Time will be  converted  into and become one  validly  issued,  fully-paid,  and
non-assessable share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation.

                                      -3-





                    (iv) EXCHANGE RATIO FOR COMPANY STOCK. Each share of Company
Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, if any, and Series B Preferred Stock, if
any,  issued and  outstanding  at the Effective  Time (other than shares held by
dissenting  stockholders,  if any),  including all accrued and unpaid  dividends
thereon,  shall be exchanged and converted into the right to receive the Company
Stock  Fraction  (the  "EXCHANGE  RATIO") of a share of Parent  Common  Stock in
accordance with Section 2.2(a).  Each share of Series C Preferred Stock, if any,
issued  and  outstanding  at the  Effective  Time  (other  than  shares  held by
dissenting  stockholders,  if any),  including all accrued and unpaid  dividends
thereon, shall be exchanged and converted into the right to receive the Exchange
Ratio of a share of Parent  Preferred  Stock in accordance  with Section 2.2(a).
All  calculations  pursuant  to this  Agreement  shall be rounded to the nearest
one-billionth (.000000001).

                    (v)  SHARES OF  DISSENTING  STOCKHOLDERS.  Each  issued  and
outstanding  share of Company  Stock held by a dissenting  stockholder,  if any,
shall not be exchanged  and  converted as  described in Section  2.1(b)(iv)  but
shall become the right to receive such  consideration as may be determined to be
due to such dissenting  stockholder pursuant to the Delaware Statute;  provided,
however,  that  each  share of  Company  Stock  issued  and  outstanding  at the
Effective Time and held by a dissenting  stockholder  who or which shall,  after
the Effective Time,  withdraw his or its demand for appraisal or lose or fail to
perfect his or its right of appraisal as provided in the Delaware  Statute shall
be deemed,  as of the Effective  Time, to be exchanged and converted into Parent
Common Stock or Parent  Preferred  Stock, as applicable,  as provided in Section
2.1(b)(iv),  without interest.  After the Effective Time, as provided in Section
262 of the Delaware Statute, no dissenting  stockholder will be entitled to vote
the shares of Company Stock subject to such dissenting  stockholder's demand for
appraisal  for any purpose or be entitled to the payment of  dividends  or other
distributions on such shares.  The Company shall be entitled to make any payment
with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

                    (vi)  ADJUSTMENTS  FOR  CAPITAL  CHANGES.  If,  prior to the
Effective Time, Parent or the Company recapitalizes through a subdivision of its
outstanding  shares into a greater  number of shares,  or a  combination  of its
outstanding shares into a lesser number of shares, or reorganizes,  reclassifies
or otherwise changes its outstanding  shares into the same or a different number
of shares or other  classes,  or declares a dividend on its  outstanding  shares
payable in shares of its capital stock or securities  convertible into shares of
its capital stock, then the Exchange Ratio will be adjusted  appropriately so as
to maintain  the  relative  proportionate  interests of the holders of shares of
Company Stock and the holders of shares of Parent Common Stock.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  no adjustment to the Exchange Ratio shall be made as a result of
the Company Reverse Stock Split.

            2.2 EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.

                (a) PROCEDURE FOR EXCHANGE. Following the Effective Time, Parent
shall deliver to each holder of record, other than the Company and Parent or any
subsidiary of the Parent,  of a certificate or  certificates  which  immediately
prior to the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding shares of Company
Stock (each, a "COMPANY  CERTIFICATE"),  a certificate (a "PARENT  CERTIFICATE")
representing  that  number of Merger  Shares  that such  holder has the right to
receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iv) with respect to such Company Certificate,
against receipt by Parent of (i) such Company Certificate for cancellation, (ii)

                                      -4-





an executed  letter of  transmittal,  (iii) an executed  stockholder  investment
representation  letter  in the form  attached  hereto  as  EXHIBIT  B  (each,  a
"STOCKHOLDER  INVESTMENT  REPRESENTATION LETTER") and (iv) a duly executed stock
power to be delivered  to the transfer  agent,  and the Company  Certificate  so
surrendered  shall  forthwith  be  cancelled.  In the  event  of a  transfer  of
ownership  of shares of Company  Stock that is not  registered  on the  transfer
records of the Company, a Parent  Certificate  representing the proper number of
Merger  Shares  may  be  issued  to a  transferee  if  the  Company  Certificate
representing  such  Company  Stock is presented  to Parent,  accompanied  by all
documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any
applicable  stock or other transfer taxes have been paid.  Until  surrendered as
contemplated by this Section 2.2(a),  each Company  Certificate shall be deemed,
on and after the  Effective  Time,  to represent  only the right to receive upon
such surrender,  Parent Certificates  representing Merger Shares as contemplated
by Section 2.1(b)(iv), without interest.

                (b)  FRACTIONAL  SHARES.  No fractional  shares of Parent Common
Stock or Parent  Preferred  Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger,
but in lieu thereof each holder of (i) Company Common Stock,  Series A Preferred
Stock or Series B Preferred  Stock who would  otherwise be entitled to receive a
fraction of a share of Parent  Common Stock (after  aggregating  all  fractional
shares of Parent  Common  Stock to be received by such holder) will receive from
Parent the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) Series
C  Preferred  Stock who would  otherwise  be entitled to receive a fraction of a
share of Parent  Preferred  Stock (after  aggregating  all fractional  shares of
Parent  Preferred  Stock to be received by such holder) will receive from Parent
the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock.

                (c) NO FURTHER  OWNERSHIP  RIGHTS IN COMPANY  STOCK.  All Merger
Shares  issued upon the  surrender  for  exchange of shares of Company  Stock in
accordance  with the terms of this Article 2 shall be deemed to have been issued
in full  satisfaction of all rights  pertaining to such shares of Company Stock.
After the Effective Time, there will be no further  registration of transfers of
the shares of Company  Stock on the stock  transfer  books of the  Company.  If,
after the Effective Time, any Company  Certificate is presented to the Surviving
Corporation,  such  Company  Certificate  shall be  canceled  and  exchanged  as
provided in this Article 2.

                (d) NO  LIABILITY.  Neither  Parent,  Acquisition  Sub  nor  the
Company  shall be liable to any  holder  of  shares of  Company  Stock or Parent
Common  Stock,  as  the  case  may  be,  for  Merger  Shares  (or  dividends  or
distributions  with respect  thereto) to be issued in exchange for Company Stock
pursuant to this  Section  2.2,  if, on or after the  expiration  of twelve (12)
months  following  the  Effective  Date,  such shares are  delivered to a public
official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

                (e) LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED COMPANY CERTIFICATES. In the event
any Company  Certificate  shall have been lost,  stolen or  destroyed,  upon the
making of an  affidavit  to that  effect by the  person  claiming  such  Company
Certificate to be lost,  stolen or destroyed,  Parent will issue in exchange for
such lost, stolen or destroyed Company  Certificate the Merger Shares in respect
thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

                                      -5-





            2.3  CONVERSION  OF THE COMPANY  OPTIONS AND  ASSUMPTION  OF COMPANY
OPTION PLANS; OTHER SECURITIES.

                (a)  At  the  Effective   Time,   each  of  the  Company's  then
outstanding stock options  (collectively,  the "COMPANY OPTIONS") which have not
been  terminated,  exercised or otherwise  converted  as of the  Effective  Time
(including,  without  limitation,  the incentive stock options and non-qualified
stock  options  under the  Horizon  Live  Distance  Learning,  Inc.  1998  Stock
Option/Stock  Issuance Plan, as amended, and the 2004 Horizon-Wimba Stock Option
Plan (together,  the "COMPANY OPTION PLANS") to purchase  Company Common Stock),
by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of any holder
thereof,  shall be assumed by Parent and automatically  converted into an option
to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock  determined by multiplying
the number of shares of Company  Common  Stock  covered by such  Company  Option
immediately  prior to the Effective  Time by the Exchange  Ratio (rounded to the
nearest whole number of shares), at an exercise price per share of Parent Common
Stock  equal  to  the  exercise  price  in  effect  under  such  Company  Option
immediately  prior to the Effective  Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded
up to the nearest  cent),  which  option to purchase  Parent  Common Stock shall
contain the same term,  status as an "incentive  stock option" under Section 422
of the Code (if such Company Option was  theretofore a Company  incentive  stock
option),  vesting schedule and otherwise be on substantially  the same terms and
conditions as set forth in the assumed  Company Option (any such assumed Company
Option being herein  referred to as an "ASSUMED  OPTION").  In addition,  at the
Effective  Time,  each of the Company Option Plans,  by virtue of the Merger and
without  any  further  action on the part of the  Company  or  Parent,  shall be
assumed by Parent.  The parties  intend that the  assumption  and  conversion of
Company  Options under this Section 2.3 shall meet the  requirements  of Section
424(a)  of the Code and  this  Section  2.3  shall  be  interpreted  in a manner
consistent with such interpretation.

                (b) Parent shall take all corporate  action necessary to reserve
for issuance a sufficient  number of shares of Parent  Common Stock for delivery
upon exercise of the Assumed Options in accordance with this Section 2.3.

            2.4 AUTHORIZATION OF THE MERGER, THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE CERTIFICATE
OF MERGER.  In the event the Merger shall be approved by the stockholders of the
Company,  as  required  by the  Delaware  Statute  and as  contemplated  by this
Agreement,  such approval  shall  constitute  approval and  ratification  by the
stockholders  of the  Company of the (i) Merger,  as  required  by the  Delaware
Statute and (ii) provisions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger.

satisfactory  to Parent) such  proposed  transfer does not involve a transaction

Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by it

shall Transfer any Restricted  Securities until such opinion of counsel has been
given  (unless  waived by  Parent or unless  such  opinion  is not  required  in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.1(c)).

7.1, the restrictions  imposed by this Section 7.1 upon the  transferability  of
Restricted  Securities  shall cease and  terminate  when (i) any such shares are

Restricted  Securities  pursuant to subparagraph  (k) of Rule 144.  Whenever the
restrictions  imposed by this Section 7.1 shall  terminate,  as herein provided,

reasonable  costs and expenses  related thereto  (including legal and accounting
fees and  expenses),  arising from,  relating to, or connected with any untruth,
inaccuracy or breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements

after the Effective Time.

REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS.

                (c) The  transactions  contemplated  hereby  are  unique and the
parties hereto  acknowledge that the breach or threatened  breach of the binding
provisions of this  Agreement may cause  irreparable  harm to the  non-breaching
party or parties, as the case may be, for which an award of monetary damages may
be  inadequate.  Accordingly,  in addition to and not in limitation of any other
remedies  available  for a  breach  or  threatened  breach  by any  party of any
provisions  of this  Agreement,  the Company  shall be entitled to an injunction
restraining  Parent  and/or  Acquisition  Sub from  continuing  such  breach  or

institution  of any  litigation,  proceeding  or  investigation  to  restrain or
prohibit the  consummation  of the Merger,  or which  questions  the validity or
legality of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

                                      -22-





                (d) Parent,  Acquisition  Sub or the  Company,  if any  statute,
rule,  regulation or other  legislation  shall have been enacted  which,  in the
