1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2)
and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
applicable provisions of the Washington Corporate Law, Merger Sub shall be
merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub
shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation. The

activities and business to the maximum extent permitted by the Washington
Corporate Law.

1.2 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the
parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing Articles of
Merger (the "Articles of Merger") with the Secretary of State of the State of
Washington in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Washington
Corporate Law (the time of such filing or such subsequent date or time as the
parties shall agree and specify in the Articles of Merger being the "Effective
Time") as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date (as herein defined).
The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of the
Parent at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no
later than the second business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or at such other time, date, and location as
the parties hereto agree (the "Closing Date").
1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the
Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of
the Washington Corporate Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights,
privileges, powers, and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in
the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, and duties of the Company
and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, and duties of the Surviving
Corporation.
1.4 Articles of Incorporation; By-laws.
(a) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the
Effective Time, at the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of Merger
Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles
of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as
provided by law and such Articles of Incorporation; provided, however, that
Article 1 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be
amended to read as follows: "The name of the corporation is Terabeam
Corporation." At the Effective Time, the authorized capital stock of the
Surviving Corporation shall be 3,000 shares of common stock, no par value per
share.
(b) 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.
1.5 Directors and Officers. The directors of Merger Sub shall be the
initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective
successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. The officers of Merger
Sub shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their
respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.
1.6 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company, or the
holders of any of the following securities:
(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company
Voting Stock and of Company Nonvoting Stock (as those terms are defined in
Section 2.2(a)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
(other than any shares of Company Common Stock (as defined in Section 2.2(a)) to
be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(b) and Company Dissenting Shares (as defined
in Section 1.6(c) below)) will be canceled and extinguished and be automatically
converted (subject to Sections 1.6(f) and (g)) into the right to
2
<PAGE>
receive either: (i) 0.220 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
Parent (the "Parent Common Stock") if the Volume-Weighted Average Price of the
Parent Common Stock over the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending three
(3) trading days prior to the Closing Date (the "Measurement Period") is equal
to, or less than, $5.40 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations,
recapitalizations and the like); or (ii) 0.200 shares of Parent Common Stock if
the Volume-Weighted Average Price of the Parent Common Stock over the
Measurement Period is above $5.40 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
combinations, recapitalizations and the like) (in either case, the "Exchange
Ratio"), together with cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section
1.6(g) below (collectively, the "Merger Consideration"), and the right to
receive a certificate therefor, upon surrender of the certificate representing
such share of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.7 (or in
the case of a lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an
affidavit (and bond, if required) in the manner provided in Section 1.9).
Certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock issued in connection
with the Merger shall be issued in accordance with Section 1.7 below. For
purposes of this Agreement, the "Volume-Weighted Average Price" of Parent Common
Stock shall be equal to the sum of "X" for each trading day during the
Measurement Period (each such day, a "Subject Day") as calculated using the
following formula:
X = ((Y +Z) / 2) * (A/B)
where X = the weighted average price component for the Subject Day
(rounded to the nearest penny).
Y = the highest sale price of Parent Common Stock on the Subject
Day as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board
(http://www.otcbb.com).
Z = the lowest sale price of Parent Common Stock on the Subject
Day as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board.
A = the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock traded on
the Subject Day as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board.
B = the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock traded
during the Measurement Period as reported by the OTC Bulletin
Board.
(b) Cancellation of Company-Owned Stock. Each share of Company
Common Stock owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and
extinguished without any conversion thereof.
(c) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that have not been
voted for adoption of this Agreement and with respect to which appraisal rights
shall have been properly perfected in accordance with Chapter 23B.13 of the
Washington Corporate Law (the "Company Dissenting Shares") shall not be
converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with
this Agreement, at or after the Effective Time, unless and until the holder of
such Company Dissenting Shares withdraws its demand for such appraisal in
accordance with the Washington
3
<PAGE>
Corporate Law or becomes ineligible for such appraisal. If a holder of Company
Dissenting Shares shall withdraw its demand for such appraisal in accordance
with the Washington Corporate Law or shall become ineligible for such appraisal,
then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event,
such holder's Company Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Company Dissenting
Shares and shall be deemed to have converted as of the Effective Time into the
right to receive the Merger Consideration into which its Company Common Stock
would otherwise have converted as of the Effective Time pursuant to this
Agreement. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands
received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of capital stock of the
Company, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations,
proceedings, and settlements with respect to such demands. Before the Effective
Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, make any payment with respect to, or
settle or offer to settle, any such demands or agree to do any of the foregoing.
(d) Stock Options and Warrants. All options and warrants to
purchase Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall be treated in accordance with Section 5.11 hereof.
(e) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly
issued, fully paid, and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub
evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of
such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(f) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. If between the date hereof
and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company
Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares by reason of any
reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, split-up, combination or
exchange of shares, or if any dividend payable in stock or other securities
shall be declared thereon with a record date within such period, the Exchange
Ratio shall be adjusted accordingly to provide to the holders of Company Common
Stock the same economic benefit as was contemplated by this Agreement prior to
such reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, split-up, combination,
exchange, or dividend. For the purposes of avoiding any ambiguity, any
conversions of Company Nonvoting Stock into Company Voting Stock shall not
affect the Exchange Ratio.
(g) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common
Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of
shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of
a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of
Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall receive from Parent,
without interest, an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to
the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the Volume-Weighted Average
Price of the Parent Common Stock over the Measurement Period.
1.7 Surrender of Certificates.

<PAGE>
(a) Exchange Agent. Registrar and Transfer Company, or another
similar institution selected by Parent, shall act as the exchange agent (the
"Exchange Agent") in the Merger.
(b) Parent to Provide Common Stock. Promptly after the
Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent for exchange
in accordance with this Article I, through such reasonable procedures as Parent
may adopt, the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.6 in
exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and cash in an amount
sufficient for payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(g).
(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time,
the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a
certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") which immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock whose
shares were converted into the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock
and cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6, (i) a letter of
transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of
loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the
Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other
provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in
effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates
representing shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional
shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent
or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with
such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance
with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled
to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole
shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares which such
holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.6, and the Certificate so
surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each outstanding
Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Company
Common Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate
purposes other than the payment of dividends, to evidence the right to receive
the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of
Company Common Stock shall have been so converted and the right to receive a
certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock and an amount in cash in
lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6.
(d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No
dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date of this
Agreement with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the
Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with
respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby until the
holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject
to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be
paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of
Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time
of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record
