WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the "Company Board") has
(i) determined that the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the
"Merger") on the terms and conditions contained herein and in accordance with
the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Corporation Act") is consistent with

recommended the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of

and has approved, adopted and declared the advisability of this Agreement, the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Merger Sub has approved and adopted a
resolution approving this Agreement and the Merger and declaring their
advisability;

WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger
shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended;

WHEREAS, Merger Sub was created solely for the purpose of effecting the
Merger and will conduct no other activity; and

WHEREAS, the Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with this
Agreement and to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) and in accordance
with the Corporation Act, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company
and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease. The
Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter
referred to as the "Surviving Corporation") and will be a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent. The Merger shall have the effects specified in the
Corporation Act.


<PAGE>

1.2 Closing; Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of Article V, the
closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place in New York City at the
offices of the Company, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 10:00
a.m. New York City time on the second business day after the earliest date on
which each of the conditions set forth in Article V (other than conditions that
are satisfied by the delivery of documents at or prior to the Closing) have been
satisfied or waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such
conditions, or at such other date, time and place as Parent and the Company
shall mutually agree. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is
hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date." At the Closing, Merger Sub and
the Company shall cause a certificate of merger (a "Certificate of Merger") to
be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in
accordance with the Corporation Act. The Merger shall become effective as of the
date and time of such filing or as of such subsequent date and time as Parent
and the Company shall agree to and shall be set forth in the Certificate of
Merger (the "Effective Time").

1.3 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, $.001 par
value per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock") issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting
Shares (as defined in Section 1.4(a)) and Parent Shares (as defined in Section
1.3(e)) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the
holder thereof, be converted into 1.306 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of common
stock, par value $.001 per share, of Parent ("Parent Common Stock") (the
aggregate shares of Parent Common Stock into which the Company Common Stock is
converted being referred to as the "Merger Consideration"). The Exchange ratio
shall automatically be adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock
dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other
similar transaction with respect to the Company Common Stock or the Parent
Common Stock between the date hereof and the Effective Time.

(b) Following the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration shall be
delivered to those parties who are holders of Company Common Stock (the "Selling
Stockholders") immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for
certificates representing outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and any
other outstanding ownership interests in the Company (other than the Company
Options (as defined in Section 1.3(c)) and Company Convertible Securities (as
defined in Section 1.3(d)). The shares of Parent Common Stock delivered to the
holders of Company Common Stock hereunder shall not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the sale or other
disposition of such shares of Parent Common Stock shall be subject to the
restrictions arising under Rule 144 of the Securities Act until a registration
statement shall have been filed for the purposes of registering such Parent
Common Stock under the Securities Act. As of the Effective Time, all shares of
Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be
cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist. If, between the date of this
Agreement and the Effective Time, the shares of Parent Common Stock shall be
changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of a stock split,
stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other
similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted accordingly.

<PAGE>

(c) Section 1.3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule (as defined in Article
II) contains a true, accurate and correct list, as of the date hereof and the
Effective Time, setting forth the number of shares of Company Common Stock that
are subject to all outstanding options and warrants to purchase Company Common
Stock (the "Company Options"), whether or not vested, and identifying the holder
of each Company Option, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to
the Company Options held by such holder, whether or not such option is an
incentive stock option, the date upon which each Company Option was granted, the
vesting schedule and each stock option agreement evidencing the grant of such
Company Options (a "Company Option Agreement"). At the Effective Time, all
Company Options, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, shall, by
virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Company
or the holder thereof, be converted into an option to purchase Parent Common
Stock, and Parent shall assume each such Company Option in accordance with the
terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the Company Option Plan
(as defined in Section 2.2(a)), if applicable, and the terms of the stock option
agreement by which it is evidenced. From and after the Effective Time, (i) each
Company Option assumed by Parent may be exercised by the holder thereof solely
for Parent Common Stock, (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock
subject to each such Company Option (the "Option Conversion Ratio") shall be
equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject
to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B)
the Exchange Ratio, (iii) the per share exercise price under each such Company
Option (the "Option Conversion Price") shall be adjusted by dividing (x) the per
share exercise price under such Company Option by (y) the Exchange Ratio and
(iv) except as expressly provided for in this Agreement and the Company Option
Agreement with each particular holder of the Company Options, any restriction on
the exercise or transfer of any such Company Option shall continue in full force
and effect in accordance with its terms and the term, exercisability, vesting
schedule and other provisions of or relating to such Company Option shall
otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that each Company Option assumed
by Parent in accordance with this Section 1.3(c) shall, in accordance with its
terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock
split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization
or other similar transaction subsequent to the Effective Time.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be
necessary (including amending the Company Option Plan) to effectuate the
provisions of this Section 1.3(c) and to ensure that, from and after the
Effective Time, holders of Company Options have no rights with respect thereto
other than those specifically provided in this Section 1.3(c).

(d) Section 1.3(d) of the Disclosure Schedule contains a true,
accurate and correct list, as of the date hereof and the Effective Time, setting
forth the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which all outstanding
instruments (including, without limitation, notes, debentures and convertible
stock) are convertible (the "Company Convertible Securities"), and identifying
each Company Convertible Security, the holder thereof, the number of shares of
Company Common Stock into which such Company Convertible Security may be
converted, the date of, maturity date (if any) of such Company Convertible
Security and the other principal terms of such Company Convertible Security. At
the Effective Time, the conversion right provided for in all outstanding Company
Convertible Securities shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further
action on the part of the Company or the holder thereof, be converted into the
right to convert such Company Convertible Securities in accordance with the
terms thereof. From and after the Effective Time, (i) each Company Convertible
Security may be converted by the holder thereof solely into Parent Common Stock,
(ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which such Company
Convertible Security can be converted (the "Convertible Security Conversion
Ratio") shall be equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company
Common Stock into which such Company Convertible Security may be converted by
its terms multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, (iii) the per share conversion
price under each such Company Convertible Security (the "Convertible Security
Conversion Price") shall be adjusted by dividing (x) the per share conversion
price under such Company Convertible Security by (y) the Exchange Ratio and (iv)
except as expressly provided for in this Agreement and the applicable Company
Convertible Security, any restriction on the transfer of any such Company
Convertible Security shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with
its terms and the term, interest rate, maturity, conversion rate and other
provisions of or relating to such Company Convertible Security shall otherwise
remain unchanged; provided, however, that the Convertible Security Conversion
Ratio and the Convertible Security Conversion Price of each Company Convertible
Security shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment
as appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split,
reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction subsequent to
the Effective Time.

(e) Each share of Company Common Stock held in the Company's
treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, and each share of
Company Common Stock then owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent, other than any such shares held on behalf of third
parties, if any (collectively, the "Parent Shares"), shall, by virtue of the
Merger, be automatically cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist and no
consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(f) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued
pursuant hereto. In lieu of the issuance of any fractional share of Parent
Common Stock, cash adjustments will be paid to holders in respect of any
fractional share of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable, and
the amount of such cash adjustment shall be equal to the product obtained by
multiplying such stockholder's fractional share of Parent Common Stock that
would otherwise be payable by the average of the closing bid and asked prices
per share of Parent Common Stock for the ten consecutive business days ending on
(and including) the business day immediately preceding the date of the Effective
Time.

The parties intend this transaction to constitute a reorganization within
the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code").

1.4 Shares of Dissenting Stockholders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any
shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time and held by a stockholder who has properly exercised and
perfected his appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Corporation Act
("Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into or exchangeable for the right
to receive the Merger Consideration but shall entitle the holder thereof to
receive payment therefor as shall be determined pursuant to Section 262 of the
Corporation Act.

<PAGE>

(b) If such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have failed to perfect
or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his right to appraisal of such
shares under the Corporation Act, then, as of the Effective Time, each share of
Company Common Stock of such holder shall thereupon be deemed to have been
converted into and to have become exchangeable for, the right to receive the
Merger Consideration without any interest thereon, in accordance with Section
1.3 hereof, and such shares shall no longer be Dissenting Shares.

(c) The Company shall give the Parent (i) prompt notice of its
receipt of any written demands for dissenters' rights for any shares of Company
Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments relating to
the Merger served pursuant to Section 262 of the Corporation Act and received by
the Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to demands for dissenters' rights under the Corporation
Act. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parent
or as may be required under applicable law, voluntarily make any payment with
respect to any demands for dissenters' rights for Company Common Stock or offer
to settle or settle any such demands.

1.5 Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of Merger Sub Common Stock (as
defined in Section 3.2(b)) issued and 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 share of common stock of the
Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. At the Effective Time, (i) the
articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and
restated in their entirety to read as the articles of incorporation of Merger
Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that such articles
of incorporation shall provide that the name of the corporation be Pure Vanilla
Merger Corporation, and (ii) the by-laws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately
prior to the Effective Time, shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation
until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law, except that such
by-laws shall provide that the name of the corporation be Pure Vanilla Merger
Corporation.

1.7 Directors and Officers. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and
the officers of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance
with the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation
until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as disclosed in writing in the Disclosure Schedule, which has been
prepared by the Company and delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub
prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
shall identify the specific sections or subsections in this Agreement to which
each such disclosure relates (the "Disclosure Schedule"), the Company represents
and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

2.1 Organization. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The
Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in
each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the
nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing
necessary, except for such failures to be so duly qualified or licensed and in
good standing that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and could not
have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results
of operations of the Company (a "Company Material Adverse Effect"). The Company
has previously delivered to Parent true, correct and complete copies of the
articles of incorporation and by-laws (or equivalent governing instruments) and
all amendments thereto, as currently in effect, of the Company.

2.2 Capitalization, subsidiaries.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company (the "Company
Stock") consists of 68,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 2,000,000
shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value (the "Company Preferred Stock"). As
of December 13, 2006, there were 8,333,605 shares of Company Common Stock and no
shares of any other class of the Company's capital stock outstanding. As of
December 13, 2006, options to acquire 3,850,000 shares of Company Common Stock
have been granted pursuant to the Company's 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan
(the "Company Option Plan") and were outstanding and options to acquire 327,728
shares of Company Common Stock that were not granted pursuant to the Company
Option Plan were outstanding, all of such options being described on Section
1.3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule. As of December 13, 2006, there were also
outstanding securities convertible into or exercisable for approximately an
additional 9,025,585 shares of Company Common Stock, all of such securities
being described on Section 1.3(d) of the Disclosure Schedule. The Company has
also reserved a total of approximately 3,400,206 shares of Company Common Stock
for issuance in connection with the Loan Conversion (as defined in Section
4.1(b)). Since December 13, 2006, the Company has not issued any additional
shares of Company Stock (except as contemplated by Section 4.1(b)), nor has it
granted or otherwise promised or undertaken to grant any additional options or
other rights that are convertible into, or exercisable for, Company Stock or
other ownership rights of the Company (except as contemplated by Section
4.1(b)), nor has it made representations or commitments that are convertible
into, or exercisable for, Company Stock or other ownership rights of the
Company. All issued and outstanding shares of Company Stock have been duly
authorized and are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of
preemptive rights. Except as described on Section 1.3(c) and Section 1.3(d) of
the Disclosure Schedule, the Company does not have outstanding any subscription,
option, put, call, warrant or other right or commitment to issue or any
obligation or commitment to redeem or purchase, any of its authorized capital
stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any of its
authorized capital stock. There are no stockholder agreements, voting
agreements, voting trusts or other similar arrangements to which the Company is
a party which have the effect of restricting or limiting the transfer, voting or
other rights associated with the capital stock of the Company. Section 2.2(a) of
the Disclosure Schedule contains a true, accurate and correct stockholders'
list, setting forth the number of shares of Company Stock owned beneficially and
of record by each stockholder of the Company as of the date of this Agreement,
and a list setting forth all outstanding options and other rights convertible
into, or exercisable for, Company Stock as well as all holders thereof.

Schedule, the Company has not granted any registration or similar rights to, or
