Data Services, Inc.
1.2 Effective Time . The Merger shall

attached as Exhibit C hereto, shall be the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation from and after the
Effective Time until further amended in accordance with applicable
law.
(b) The Bylaws of the Company, as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, attached as Exhibit
D hereto, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation from

applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation and such Bylaws.
(c) The directors and officers listed in

Incorporation or Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
1.4 Assets and Liabilities . At the
Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the
rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of
a private nature, and be subject to all the restrictions,
disabilities and duties of each of Acquisition Corp. and the
Company (collectively, the "Constituent Corporations"); and all the
rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the
Constituent Corporations, and all property, real, personal and
mixed, and all debts due to any of the constituent corporations on
whatever account, as well for stock subscriptions as all other
things in action or belonging to each of the Constituent
Corporations, shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation; and all
property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and
every other interest shall be thereafter as effectively the
property of the Surviving Corporation as they were of the several
and respective Constituent Corporations, and the title to any real
estate vested by deed or otherwise in either of the such
Constituent Corporations shall not revert or be in any way impaired
by the Merger; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any
property of any of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved
unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the
Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving
Corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as
if said debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or
contracted by it.
1.5 Manner and Basis of Converting
Shares .
(a) At the Effective Time:
(i) each share of common stock, no par value per
share, of Acquisition Corp. that shall be outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted
into one (1) share of common stock, no par value per share, of the
Surviving Corporation, so that at the Effective Time, Parent shall
be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Surviving Corporation;
(ii) the shares of common stock, $0.001 par value
per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock"), which
shares at the Closing will constitute all of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, beneficially
owned by the Stockholders listed in Schedule 2.4 , shall, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the
holders thereof, be converted into the number of shares of Parent
Common Stock specified in Schedule 1.5 for each of the
Stockholders, which shall be equal to 0.78199 shares of Parent
Common Stock for each (1) share of Company Common Stock;
(iii) the shares of preferred stock, designated
Series A, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the "Company
Preferred Stock"), which shares at the Closing will constitute all
of the issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock of the
Company, beneficially owned by the Stockholders listed in
Schedule 2.4 , shall, by virtue of the Merger and without
any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into
the number of shares of Parent Common Stock
- 2 -
specified in Schedule 1.5 for each of the
Stockholders, which shall be equal to 1.25922 shares of Parent
Common Stock for each (1) share of Company Preferred
Stock;

the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be cancelled in the Merger and cease to exist.
(b) After the Effective Time, there shall be no
further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of
the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock or
Company Preferred Stock (referred to collectively herein as
"Company Stock") that were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time.
1.6 Surrender and Exchange of
Certificates . Promptly after the Effective Time and upon
(i) surrender of a certificate or certificates representing shares
of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time or an affidavit and indemnification in form
reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Parent stating that such
Stockholder has lost its certificate or certificates or that such
have been destroyed and (ii) delivery of a Letter of Transmittal
(as described in Section 4 hereof), Parent shall issue to each
record holder of the Company Stock surrendering such certificate or
certificates and Letter of Transmittal, a certificate or
certificates registered in the name of such Stockholder
representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such
Stockholder shall be entitled to receive as set forth in Sections
1.5(a)(ii) and 1.5(a)(iii) hereof. Until the certificate,
certificates or affidavit is or are surrendered together with the
Letter of Transmittal as contemplated by this Section 1.6 and
Section 4 hereof, each certificate or affidavit that immediately
prior to the Effective Time represented any outstanding shares of
Company Stock shall be deemed at and after the Effective Time to
represent only the right to receive upon surrender as aforesaid the
Parent Common Stock specified in Schedule 1.5 hereof for the
holder thereof or to perfect any rights of appraisal which such
holder may have pursuant to the applicable provisions of the
DGCL.
1.7 Options; Warrants; Other Rights .
Except as set forth in Schedule 1.7 , all options, warrants,
and other rights of any kind to purchase Company Stock outstanding

rights.

that it will cause the Parent Common Stock into which the Company
Common Stock is converted at the Effective Time pursuant to Section
1.5(a)(ii) and 1.5(a)(iii) to be available for such purpose. Parent
further covenants that immediately prior to the Effective Time
there will be no more than 2,500,000 shares of Parent Common Stock
(plus that number of shares necessary to adjust for any averaging
up resulting from the reverse split of Parent described in the
Definitive Proxy of Parent, filed December 4, 2006) issued and
outstanding, and that no other common or preferred stock or equity
securities or any options, warrants, rights or other agreements or
instruments convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common or

enterprise.
2.2 Qualification . The Company is duly
qualified to conduct business as a foreign corporation and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction wherein the nature of its

operations, results of operations or prospects of the Company taken
as a whole (the "Condition of the Company").
2.3 Capitalization of the Company . The
authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 30,000,000

have been approved by the requisite vote of the Stockholders, and
all of the corporate acts and other proceedings required for the
due and valid authorization, execution, delivery and performance of
the Merger Documents and the consummation of the Merger have been
validly and appropriately taken, except for the filing of the
Certificate of Merger and the Statement of Merger, which shall be
filed upon or promptly after the Closing.
2.6 Compliance with Laws and
Instruments . To the knowledge of the Company, the business,
products and operations of the Company have been and are being
conducted in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations, except for such violations

material adverse effect on the Condition of the Company. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger

assets used in the conduct of its business (except for property
held under valid and subsisting leases which are in full force and
effect and which are not in default) free of all Liens and other
encumbrances, except Permitted Liens and such ordinary and
