Subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section and in Section 1.6(a)(ii), the aggregate merger consideration (as so adjusted, the "Aggregate Merger Consideration") shall consist of (A) 1,200,000 shares of Parent Common Stock and (B) cash in the amount of $13,305,625 (the "Aggregate Cash Portion"); provided, that the Aggregate Cash Portion shall be adjusted as follows: first, the Aggregate Cash Portion shall be reduced by the aggregate exercise prices (to the extent not paid to Company by the option holders) of all Company options exercised between the date hereof and the Effective Date, and (ii) an amount equal to the greater of (x) 50% of the aggregate severance payments, if any, made to Company employees not listed in Section 5.12 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule and (y) such aggregate severance payments minus $14,750; second, in the event the Unaudited Adjusted Net Assets (as defined below) exceed the Audited Adjusted Net Assets (as defined below) by more than $25,000, the Aggregate Cash Portion shall be decreased by such excess amount; third, in the event any of Company's shareholders provide the notice pursuant to Nevada Law Section 92A.420 with respect to their intent to dissent with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Aggregate Cash Portion shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the number of shares as to which such rights are intended to be asserted and the per share Aggregate Merger Consideration which the Company's shareholders would have received if there were no dissenting shareholders (such Aggregate Merger Consideration calculated as the sum of (x) the value of 1,200,000 shares of Parent Common Stock and (y) the Aggregate Cash Portion after adjustment pursuant to clauses first and second above). "Unaudited Adjusted Net Assets" shall mean the current assets less total liabilities as shown on the Assets and Liabilities Statement (as defined below). "Audited Adjusted Net Assets" shall mean current assets less total liabilities as shown on the Audited Balance Sheet (as defined below).
          1. The cash and stock portions of the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be further adjusted on the Closing Date as follows: If the cash portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration (as calculated pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i) before adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(ii)) is greater than 50% of the sum of (x) the product of the average of the high and low prices of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on the Closing Date multiplied by 1,200,000 (i.e., the initial number of shares of Parent Common Stock), the product of which shall then be reduced by the liquidity discount percentage ascribed to the Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger as set forth in the letter to be delivered to the Parent by Houlihan Valuation Advisors prior to the Closing (the "Discount Percentage"), and (y) the cash portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration (as calculated pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i) before adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(ii)), then the cash portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be decreased and the stock portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be increased, as though shares of Parent Common Stock were purchased at a per share price equal to the average of the high and low prices of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on the Closing Date (but not reduced by the Discount Percentage), to the extent necessary so that the cash portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall not exceed 50% of the sum of (x) above (but for purposes of this calculation, the initial number of 1,200,000 shares of Parent Common Stock shall be increased by the number of shares added pursuant to this sentence) and (y) above (but for purposes of this calculation, the cash portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be as decreased pursuant to this sentence).
          2. The shares of Parent Common Stock which comprise the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be subject to the following restrictions on transfer (in addition to any restrictions under applicable law): (i) twenty-five percent of the shares of Parent Common Stock received by each Company shareholder in the Merger shall be transferable by such shareholder upon the Closing; (ii) twenty- five percent of such shares shall not be transferable by such shareholder until the first anniversary date of the Closing; (iii) twenty-five percent of such shares shall not be transferable by such shareholder until the second anniversary date of the Closing; and (iv) twenty-five percent of such shares shall not be transferable by such shareholder until the third anniversary date of the Closing; provided, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply with respect to any Escrow Shares sold by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 4(e) of the Escrow Agreement (but shall apply with respect to any Escrow Shares released to Company shareholders).
          3. For all purposes of this Section 1.6, each share of Parent Common Stock shall have a value equal to the average of the high and low prices of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on the Closing Date reduced (except as expressly provided in Section 1.6(a)(ii)) by the Discount Percentage.
        2. By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Company or any of their respective shareholders, the following shall occur at the Effective Time:
          1. Preferential Consideration. Prior and in preference to any distribution of the Remaining Consideration (as defined below) to holders of Series B Preferred and Company Common Stock, each share of Series A Preferred (as defined below) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except such shares the holders of which have elected to convert into Company Common Stock) shall be converted and exchanged, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, into the right to receive that number of shares of Parent Common Stock and an amount in cash (in the same proportions as the proportions of Parent Common Stock and cash that constitute the Aggregate Merger Consideration) which in the aggregate equals the sum of $9.998 and the per share amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends owing with respect to the Series A Preferred (the "Per Share Series A Preferential Consideration"). The Per Share Series A Preferential Consideration multiplied by the sum of the number of shares of Series A Preferred issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except such shares the holders of which have elected to convert into Company Common Stock) is herein referred to as the "Series A Preferential Consideration."
          2. Remaining Consideration . After full payment of the Series A Preferential Consideration, the Aggregate Merger Consideration less the Series A Preferential Consideration (the "Remaining Consideration") shall be distributed to the holders of the Series B Preferred which have not elected to convert their shares of Series B Preferred into Company Common Stock and holders of Company Common Stock, in each case issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each such share of Series B Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock shall be converted and exchanged, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, into the right to receive that number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock and that amount of cash which comprise the Remaining Consideration, in each case divided by the sum of the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and shares of Series B Preferred.
        3. Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued, but in lieu thereof each person to which Parent Common Stock is to be issued hereunder 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 person) shall receive from Parent an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the value of a share of Parent Common Stock. The fractional share interests of each person shall be aggregated, so that no person shall receive cash in respect of fractional share interests in an amount greater than the value of one full share of Parent Common Stock.
        4. Cancellation of Company Capital Stock. All shares of Company Capital Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive its portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration as calculated pursuant to this Section 1.6 upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.7, without interest.
        5. Cancellation of Company Capital Stock Owned by Parent or Company. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by Company as treasury stock, each share of Company Capital Stock owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or of Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.
        6. Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock 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 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.
        7. Adjustments. The Aggregate Merger Consideration and the Per Share Series A Preferential Consideration shall each be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Capital Stock, as applicable), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Capital Stock, as applicable, occurring after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time. Except as provided in Section 1.6(a)(ii), no adjustment shall be made in the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger as a result of (i) any increase or decrease in the market price of Parent Common Stock prior to the Effective Time, or (ii) any cash proceeds received by Company from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date pursuant to the exercise of currently outstanding options or warrants to acquire Company Capital Stock.
        8. Dissenters' Rights. Any shares of Company Capital Stock as to which the holder has perfected its rights to dissent from the Merger ("Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to applicable Delaware Law and Nevada Law. Company agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Parent, or as required under Delaware Law or Nevada Law, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such purchase demand. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of Delaware Law and Nevada Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value for shares of Company Capital Stock shall receive payment therefor (but only after such value shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, Parent shall issue and deliver, upon surrender by such holder of certificate or certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock, the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled under this Section 1.6, the Certificate of Merger and the Articles of Merger less the amount of cash and stock allocable to such holder that has been deposited in the Escrow Fund (as defined below) in respect of such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 7 below.
        9. Certificate Legends. The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Section 1 shall bear the following legends and any other legends required by state securities laws:

        "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR "BLUE-SKY" LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER DATED AS OF JULY 14, 2000 AMONG GETTHERE INC., GETTHERE.COM ACQUISITION CORP., PLANSITE CORPORATION, and the other signatories thereto and no transfer of these securities shall be valid or effective until such conditions have been fulfilled. Copies of such agreement may be obtained at no cost by written request made by the holder of record of this certificate to the secretary of GETTHERE INC."

      7. Surrender of Certificates and Payment.
        1. Surrender of Certificates. At Closing, the shareholders of Company shall surrender to Parent (for cancellation by the Surviving Corporation) all certificates representing all outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (collectively, "Certificates"). Such Certificates shall be accompanied by duly completed and validly executed letters of transmittal prepared theretofore by Parent.
        2. Payment by Parent. Immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay to each Company shareholder who has surrendered Certificates and delivered a letter of transmittal as provided by Section 1.7(a), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Company shareholder, the cash portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to which such Company shareholder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement (and will deposit the applicable portion of such cash portion on such Company shareholder's behalf with the Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 7.2) pursuant to Section 7.2) and shall deliver at the offices of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP as aforesaid (or at such other location as the parties hereto agree), a certificate representing the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to it hereunder registered in its name (and will deposit the applicable portion of such shares on such Company shareholder's behalf with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 7.2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall distribute (or deposit with the Escrow Agent on the Company shareholder's behalf pursuant to Section 7.2, as applicable) the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with the allocations set forth in Section 1.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, even where such distribution may change the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to which a Company shareholder would otherwise be entitled, provided each Company shareholder agrees in writing to such distribution and a copy of such written agreement is delivered to Parent on or prior to the Closing Date. Between the date hereof and the date that is five business days prior to the Closing Date, Company shall have the right, upon the written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and provided each Company shareholder agrees in writing to such distribution (a copy of which agreement shall be delivered to Parent on or prior to the Closing Date), to amend Section 1.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Such amendment shall, notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5.11, be deemed to be part of the Company Disclosure Schedule delivered on the date hereof.
        3. No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.7, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
        4. Dissenting Shares. The provisions of Section 1.7 shall also apply to Dissenting Shares that lose their status as such, except that the obligations of Parent under Section 1.7 shall commence on the date of loss of such status and the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such shares the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6.

      8. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. All cash and shares of Parent Common Stock in the amount of the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to all shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.
      9. Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Company and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
      10. Withholding. Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Capital Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
      11. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall pay (or deposit on the shareholder's behalf with the Escrow Agent, as applicable) in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to such payment, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

    2. Representations and Warranties of Company and Ashton, Bingham and Martin.
    3. In this Agreement, any reference to a "Material Adverse Effect" with respect to any entity or group of entities means any event, change or effect that, when taken individually or together with all other adverse changes and effects, is or is reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, liabilities, business, operations, results of operations or prospects of such entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or to prevent or materially delay consummation of the Merger or otherwise to prevent such entity and its subsidiaries from performing their obligations under this Agreement.

          1.

Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Section 7, from and after the Effective Time, Parent ("Parent Indemnitor") shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Selling Shareholders and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (Selling Shareholders and each of the foregoing persons or entities is hereinafter referred to individually as a "Shareholder Indemnified Person" and collectively as "Shareholder Indemnified Persons") from and against any and all Damages that any of the Shareholder Indemnified Persons suffers or incurs by reason of or in connection with:
          1. The inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Parent contained in this Agreement (including any exhibit or schedule hereto) or in any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate furnished by Parent to Selling Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby;
          2. Breach or violation by Parent of any covenant or agreement of Parent contained in this Agreement (including any exhibit or schedule hereto) or in any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate furnished by Parent to Selling Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; or
          3. Except for any liability or obligation for which Company Shareholders agreed pursuant to Section 7.3(a) to indemnify Parent Indemnified Persons (regardless of any limitations on Company Shareholders' indemnification obligations contained in Section 7.3(d)), any liability or obligation arising out of or resulting from (A) the operations, activities or transactions of the business of Company at any time after the Effective Time, (B) the use or ownership of the assets, properties or rights of Company at any time after the Effective Time, or (C) any act or omission of Company occurring at any time after the Effective Time.
        3. Procedure. Within a reasonable time following the determination thereof, a Parent Indemnified Person or a Shareholder Indemnified Person, as the case may be (an "Indemnified Person") shall give the Indemnitor (as defined below) and (if the Indemnified Person is a Parent Indemnified Person) the Escrow Agent notice of any matter which an Indemnified Person has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating the amount of the Damages, if known, and method of computation thereof, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. The obligations and liabilities of Indemnitor under this Section 7 with respect to Damages arising from claims of any third party that are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 ("Third Party Claims") shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions. If an Indemnified Person shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall promptly give Indemnitor notice of such Third Party Claim and shall permit Indemnitor, at its option, to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim by counsel of its own choice and at its expense; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to so promptly notify Indemnitor shall only relieve Indemnitor from its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 7 to the extent that Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such failure (whether as a result of the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or otherwise). If Indemnitor acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person hereunder against any Damages that may result from such Third Party Claims (subject to the limitations set forth herein), then Indemnitor shall be entitled, at its option, to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its reasonable choice (the "Selected Counsel") if it gives notice to the Indemnified Person within 20 calendar days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim from the Indemnified Person of its intention to do so. If Indemnitor elects to assume and control the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Person, unless (i)  Indemnitor has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the Indemnified Person has been advised by the Selected Counsel that there may be one or more defenses reasonably available to it which are different from or additional to those available to Indemnitor and which can not be effectively raised by Indemnitor, and in any such case that portion of the fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are reasonably related to matters covered by the indemnification provided by this Section 7 will be paid by Indemnitor. Expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person shall be reimbursed on a current basis by Indemnitor if there is no dispute as to the obligation of Indemnitor to pay such amounts pursuant to this Section 7. In the event Indemnitor exercises its right to undertake the defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with Indemnitor in such defense and make available to Indemnitor, at Indemnitor's expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in its possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by Indemnitor. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Person is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, Indemnitor shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Person in such defense and make available to it, at Indemnitor's expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in its possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Person. No such Third Party Claim, except the settlement thereof which involves the payment of money only (by a party or parties other than the Indemnified Person) and for which the Indemnified Person is released by the third party claimant and is totally indemnified by Indemnitor, may be settled by Indemnitor without the written consent of the Indemnified Person. No Third Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by Indemnitor shall be settled by the Indemnified Person without the written consent of Indemnitor. For purposes of this Section 7.3(c), the term "Indemnitor" shall refer to the Company Shareholders, severally and not jointly, or Parent, as the case may be.
        4. Limitations on Indemnification. No claim or claims may be made against an Indemnitor for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) or Section 7.3(b)(i), as the case may be, unless the collective Damages of the respective Indemnified Persons exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to $50,000, in which case the Indemnitor shall be obligated to the Indemnified Persons for the full amount of the Damages in excess of such amount.
          1. The Company Shareholders shall be severally and not jointly liable for any indemnification obligations of the Company Shareholders pursuant to this Section 7 in the respective percentages set forth in Section 7.3 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. In addition to the provisions and limitations as provided in (A) Section 7.1 with respect to the period of survival of representations and warranties and indemnification obligations and (B) Section 7.3(d)(i) with respect to dollar amounts of Damages for which indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties is not available, neither Parent (on the one hand) nor the Company Shareholders (on the other hand) in the aggregate shall be liable for Damages for which they would otherwise have indemnification obligations under this Agreement, in excess of an amount equal to the product of the Aggregate Merger Consideration and the total of the percentages set forth on Schedule 7.3 (or, if less than the total of such percentages, 100%).
          2. The sole remedy for any breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the rights or remedies that any party hereto may have at equity, including specific performance and injunctive relief, where available.
          3. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 7, the limitations contained in Section 7 with respect to a party's indemnification obligations shall not apply (i) in any instance where a claim for indemnification against that party is based on the fraud of that party or (ii) to any Damages suffered by a Parent Indemnified Person resulting from Company's employment or termination of Mr. Michael Malinchok.
        5. Treatment of Indemnification. Any indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 7 shall constitute an adjustment to the Aggregate Merger Consideration.

    10. Termination, Amendment and Waiver.
      1. Termination. At any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger by the shareholders of Company, this Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned:

          3. the Shareholders' Meeting shall have been held, and the required approval of the shareholders of Company shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote upon a vote duly held at the Shareholders' Meeting or at any adjournment thereof;

    EXHIBIT A

    ESCROW AGREEMENT

    This Escrow Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of July __, 2000 by and among GetThere Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Parent"), Brian Ashton ("Ashton"), Glenn Bingham ("Bingham"), Craig Martin ("Martin") (Ashton, Bingham and Martin collectively referred to herein as "Selling Shareholders"), the other Company shareholders signatory hereto ("Other Shareholders", and, together with Selling Shareholders, "Company Shareholders") and Chase Manhattan Bank and Trust Company, N.A. ("Escrow Agent").

    RECITALS

    A. Parent, GetThere.com Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ( "Merger Sub"), Plansite Corporation d/b/a AllMeetings.com, a Nevada corporation ("Company"), and Selling Shareholders have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 14, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Company will merge with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub remaining as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") (such merger, the "Merger"), and Company Shareholders, Merger Sub and Parent have entered into an agreement, dated as of _______ __, 2000, pursuant to which Other Shareholders have agreed to be bound by the obligations of Company Shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

    B. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Company Shareholders will receive the Aggregate Merger Consideration, of which $1,000,000 and 50% of the shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the stock portion thereof are to be deposited into the escrow fund provided for hereby. The Merger Agreement provides that the escrow fund provided for hereby will nonexclusively secure the indemnification obligations of Company Shareholders to Parent, Surviving Corporation and each of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents under the Merger Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

    AGREEMENT

    The parties agree as follows:

    1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement.
    2. Consent of Selling Shareholders/Appointment of Shareholder Representative.
      1. Each Company Shareholder hereby agrees to the establishment of the Escrow Fund (as defined below in Section 3) to secure the indemnification obligations of Company Shareholders under Section 7 of the Merger Agreement and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement.
      2. The Company Shareholders shall have a right to designate a shareholder representative (the "Shareholder Representative") under this Agreement by the vote of a majority of the Proportionate Interests of the Company Shareholders. The Company Shareholders hereby consent to the appointment of Glenn Bingham as the initial Shareholder Representative. Furthermore, the Company Shareholders hereby appoint the Shareholder Representative to act as the Company Shareholders' attorney-in-fact, in the Company Shareholders' name, to take any and all actions that may on the Company Shareholders' part or on the part of the Shareholder Representative, be necessary or appropriate pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 7 of the Merger Agreement, and to take any and all other actions as said attorney-in-fact, in his sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in connection with the Merger. The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to the Company Shareholders for any action taken or omission made in good faith, and the Company Shareholders hereby ratify all that the Shareholder Representative may do or cause to be done pursuant to this appointment and power of attorney. The Shareholder Representative shall be entitled to appoint a substitute Shareholder Representative should he be unable to perform hereunder. THE AUTHORITY CONFERRED BY THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY IS IRREVOCABLE (EXCEPT UPON THE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE PROPORTIONATE INTERESTS) AND, AS THE COMPANY SHAREHOLDERS ARE SHAREHOLDERS OF COMPANY, IS DEEMED COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY EVENTUALITY AFFECTING COMPANY OR THE COMPANY SHAREHOLDERS.

    3. Escrow and Indemnification.
      1. Escrow Fund. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with Escrow Agent $1,000,000 in cash (the "Escrow Cash") and 50% of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger (the "Escrow Shares"); provided, that the Escrow Shares shall consist of the shares of Parent Common Stock that are, pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(iii) of the Merger Agreement, not transferable until the second or third anniversary date of the Closing. The Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares are referred to herein collectively as the "Escrow Fund." The Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party hereto. Escrow Agent agrees to accept delivery of the Escrow Fund and to hold such Escrow Fund in escrow subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Section 7 of the Merger Agreement.
      2. Investment of Escrow Cash. Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Cash as directed in writing by the Shareholder Representative in any of the following:
        1. obligations issued by or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof;
        2. certificates of deposit of or interest bearing accounts with national banks or corporations endowed with trust powers, including Escrow Agent, having capital and surplus in excess of $100,000,000;
        3. commercial paper that at the time of investment is rated A-1 by Standard and Poor's Corporation or P-1 by Moody's Investor Service;
        4. repurchase agreements with any bank or corporation described in clause (ii), above, fully secured by obligations described in clause (i), above; or
        5. any money market fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, for which Escrow Agent or an affiliate thereof is the adviser.

        If no such investment instructions are given, the Escrow Cash shall be invested in a cash escrow account with the Escrow Agent. Such investment shall earn interest at a rate tied to the 30 day LIBOR, less 100 basis points. Such interest will be computed daily and credited to the account monthly. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any loss sustained as a result of any investment in an investment indicated above or any investment made pursuant to the instructions of the parties hereto or as a result of any liquidation of any investment prior to its maturity or for the failure of the parties to give the Escrow Agent instructions to invest or reinvest the Escrow Cash.

        Any interest or other income earned on the Escrow Cash shall be paid to Company Shareholders in accordance with their respective proportionate interests in the Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares, as set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto (the "Proportionate Interests"), upon the release of the Escrow Cash to such holders pursuant to Section 5 below. (Exhibit 1 hereto shall be identical to Section 7.3 of the Company Disclosure Schedule to the Merger Agreement.)

      3. Dividends and Voting Rights. So long as the escrow is in effect and any part of the Escrow Fund has not been delivered and released to the Company Shareholders or to Parent as provided in Section 4 hereof, any dividends or distributions (other than shares of Parent Common Stock distributed in connection with a subdivision or split of Parent Common Stock) that are paid, issued or made by Parent in respect of the Escrow Shares (collectively, the "Distributions") or in respect of any such Distributions, shall be immediately delivered to the Company Shareholders. Any distributions of shares of Parent Common Stock that are issued or made by Parent in respect of Escrow Shares as part of a subdivision or split of Parent Common Stock shall be immediately delivered to the Escrow Agent and shall be held in escrow on the same terms and conditions as those applied to the Escrow Shares hereunder. As used herein, the term "Escrow Shares" shall include all Parent Common Stock issued in connection with a subdivision or split of Parent Common Stock. The Company Shareholders shall have the right to vote the Escrow Shares deposited in the Escrow Fund for their account so long as such Escrow Shares are held in escrow, and Parent shall take all steps necessary to allow the exercise of such rights. While the Escrow Shares remain in the Escrow Agent's possession pursuant to this Agreement, the Company Shareholders shall retain and be able to exercise all other incidents of ownership of the Escrow Shares that are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
      4. Indemnification. The Company Shareholders have agreed in Section 7 of the Merger Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Parent, Surviving Corporation and each of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (Parent, Surviving Corporation and each of the foregoing persons and entities is referred to hereinafter as a "Parent Indemnified Person" and collectively as "Parent Indemnified Persons") from and against Damages (as defined in Section 7.3 of the Merger Agreement). The Escrow Fund shall be nonexclusive security for the indemnification obligations of Company Shareholders, subject to the limitations, and in the manner provided, in this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

    4. Administration of Escrow Fund. Escrow Agent shall administer the Escrow Fund as follows:
      1. Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period (as defined in Section 5 below), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and not as the property of Parent, and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms hereof.
      2. Upon receipt by Escrow Agent at any time on or before the last day of the Escrow Period of a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of Parent (an "Officer's Certificate"):
        1. stating that Parent, Surviving Corporation or any other Parent Indemnified Person has paid or incurred Damages, and
        2. specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or incurred and the nature of the breach of the Merger Agreement or matter to which such item is related,

        Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 4(c) and 4(d) below, deliver to Parent out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, an amount equal to such Damages in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(e) below.

      3. Objections to Claims. At the time of delivery of any Officer's Certificate to Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be delivered to the Shareholder Representative by the Escrow Agent. For a period of 30 days after receipt of the Officer's Certificate, Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to Parent from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof unless Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholder Representative to make such delivery. After the expiration of such 30-day period, Escrow Agent shall make delivery from the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 4(b) and Section 4(e) hereof, provided that no such payment or delivery may be made if the Shareholder Representative shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer's Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to Escrow Agent and Parent prior to the expiration of such 30-day period.
      4. Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
        1. In case the Shareholder Representative shall so object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer's Certificate, the Company Shareholders and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims within 45 days after Escrow Agent's receipt of the Shareholder Representative's written objection to the claim pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof (the "Negotiation Period"). If the Company Shareholders and Parent should so agree during the Negotiation Period, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by Parent and the Shareholder Representative and shall be furnished to Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and distribute the Escrow Cash and/or Escrow Shares from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.
        2. If no such agreement has been reached by the end of the Negotiation Period, either Parent or the Shareholder Representative may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Damages is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained by settlement or a non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator, selected by mutual agreement of the parties or otherwise in accordance with the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association as adopted by the State of California. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, California. The written decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer's Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Section 4(c) hereof, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. The arbitrator shall award reimbursement to the prevailing party in the arbitration of its reasonable expenses of the arbitration (including costs and reasonable attorneys' fees). The award of the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the parties and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief or other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction.
      5. Delivery of Adjusted Damages. Escrow Agent shall pay the amount of the Damages payable to Parent pursuant to the preceding subsections of this Section 4 (the "Adjusted Damages") first out of the Escrow Cash. In the event that the Adjusted Damages exceed the Escrow Cash then remaining in the Escrow Fund (the "Excess Adjusted Damages"), Escrow Agent shall, if any Excess Adjusted Damages remain unpaid by Company Shareholders as provided below 30 days after Escrow Agent's receipt of the Officer's Certificate, sell the minimum number of Escrow Shares necessary to pay the applicable Company Shareholder's unpaid Proportionate Interest in the Excess Adjusted Damages (plus to cover any expenses of Escrow Agent in connection with such sale) and deliver the proceeds of such sale to Parent. Any portion of the proceeds of such sale not paid to Parent shall be paid to the Company Shareholder on whose behalf the sale of the Escrow Shares occurred. Each Company Shareholder may, at the option of such Company Shareholder, pay such Company Shareholder's Proportionate Interest in the Excess Adjusted Damages in cash within 30 days after Escrow Agent's receipt of the Officer's Certificate, in which case Escrow Shares with a value equal (or as nearly equal as possible) to the amount of such payment shall be released from the Escrow Fund and shall be delivered to such Company Shareholder. For purposes of the preceding sentence of Section 4(e), each Escrow Share shall be deemed to have a value equal to the average closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the 5 trading days prior to the date of payment by the applicable Company Shareholder to Parent of such Company Shareholder's Proportionate Interest in the Excess Adjusted Damages.

    5. Release of Escrow Fund. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall remain in existence from the Closing Date until July 14, 2002 (the "Escrow Period"). Upon the expiration of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Fund shall terminate with respect to all Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares then remaining in the Escrow Fund, and such Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares shall be delivered to each Company Shareholder in accordance with its Proportionate Interest, provided, that Escrow Agent has received written payment instructions for such payments from the Company Shareholder entitled thereto; provided, however, that an amount of Escrow Cash and/or Escrow Shares, which, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, subject to the objection of the Shareholder Representative and the subsequent negotiation and arbitration of the matter in the manner provided in Section 4 hereof, is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer's Certificate delivered to Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of such Escrow Period with respect to facts and circumstances existing on or prior to July 14, 2002 shall remain in the Escrow Fund (and the Escrow Fund shall remain in existence) until such claims have been resolved; provided further, that Parent agrees to notify Escrow Agent in writing of the expiration of the Escrow Period. As soon as all such claims have been resolved, Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Shareholders all Escrow Cash, Escrow Shares and other property then remaining in the Escrow Fund and not required to satisfy such claims. Deliveries of Escrow Cash, Escrow Shares and other property to the Company Shareholders pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with each Company Shareholder's Proportionate Interest in the Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares.
    6. Escrow Agent's Duties.
      1. Parent and the Company Shareholders acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent (i) shall not be responsible for any of the agreements referred to herein but shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and as set forth in any additional written escrow instructions which Escrow Agent may receive after the date of this Agreement that are signed by an officer of Parent and the Company Shareholders; (ii) shall not be obligated to take any legal or other action hereunder which might in its reasonable judgment involve expense or liability unless it shall have been furnished with indemnity reasonably acceptable to it; and (iii) may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction, instrument, statement, request or document furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person, and shall have no responsibility for determining the accuracy thereof.
      2. Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings, other than notices provided in accordance with Section 4 hereof, given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person, excepting only orders or process of courts of law or a written decision of any arbitrator pursuant to Section 4(d), and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court or written decision of any arbitrator. In case Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court or written decision of any arbitrator, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment, decree or decision being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.
      3. Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.
      4. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the expiration of any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to this Agreement or any documents deposited with Escrow Agent.
      5. Neither Escrow Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable to anyone for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or any of its directors, officers or employees hereunder except in the case of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Subject to Section 6(g) below, Parent and the Company Shareholders (collectively, the "Indemnifying Parties") covenant and agree to jointly and severally indemnify Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from and against any fee, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) (a "Loss") incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with the performance of its obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or with the administration of its duties hereunder, unless such Loss shall arise out of or be caused by Escrow Agent's gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that indemnification for Escrow Agent's standard fees and expenses set forth on the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit 2 shall be shared equally by Parent and the Company Shareholders; and provided further that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(e) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of Parent and the Company Shareholders; and provided further that the proceeds of any sale of Escrow Shares by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 4(e) shall be applied towards the Escrow Agent's expenses in connection with such sale.
      6. Notwithstanding Section 7 below, to the extent that Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of any taxes in respect of income derived from the investment of funds held or payments made hereunder, Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability to the extent possible from the Escrow Fund. Subject to Section 6(g) below, Indemnifying Parties agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against any taxes, additions for late payment, interest, penalties and other expenses that may be assessed against Escrow Agent on any payment or other activities under this Agreement unless any such tax, addition for late payment, interest, penalty or other expense shall arise out of or be caused by the actions of, or a failure to act by, Escrow Agent. No distributions will be made to the Company Shareholders unless Escrow Agent is supplied by them with an original, signed Form W-9 or its equivalent prior to distribution.
      7. Notwithstanding the joint and several nature of the obligations of Indemnifying Parties under Section 6(e) and 6(f), the Company Shareholders' total collective share of the liability for indemnification of Escrow Agent under Sections 6(e) and 6(f) hereof (the "Indemnification Liability") shall in no event exceed the value of the Escrow Fund then available to pay such liability. Any and all amounts to be paid by the Company Shareholders for their share of the Indemnification Liability shall be payable only out of the Escrow Fund. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Indemnifying Parties shall contribute to the Indemnification Liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each individual Indemnifying Party, including up to all such Indemnification Liability in the case of any tax liability arising from failure to provide correct information with respect to any taxes pursuant to Section 6(f) above. In all cases where there is no such basis for allocating contribution for such Indemnification Liability or except as otherwise provided in Section 6(e), one half of the total Indemnification Liability shall be paid out of the Escrow Fund and allocated pro rata among each of the Company Shareholders according to their Proportionate Interest, and one half of the total Indemnification Liability shall be paid by Parent.
      8. Escrow Agent shall notify each Indemnifying Party by letter, or by telephone or telecopy confirmed by letter, of the receipt by Escrow Agent of a written assertion of a claim against Escrow Agent or the Escrow Fund, or any action commenced against Escrow Agent or the Escrow Fund, within fifteen (15) business days after Escrow Agent's receipt of written notice of such claim.
      9. Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving at least 30 days' prior written notice to Parent and the Company Shareholders; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective until the appointment of a successor escrow agent, which shall be accomplished as follows: Parent and the Company Shareholders shall use their best efforts to mutually agree upon a successor agent within 30 days after receiving such notice. If the parties fail to agree upon a successor escrow agent within such time, Parent, with the consent of the Company Shareholders, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall have the right to appoint a successor escrow agent authorized to do business in California. The successor escrow agent selected in the preceding manner shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment and it shall thereupon be deemed Escrow Agent hereunder and it shall without further acts be vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor Escrow Agent as if originally named as Escrow Agent. If no successor escrow agent is named, Escrow Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent. Thereafter, the predecessor Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold an amount equal to any amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any costs and expenses the Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the termination of the Escrow Agreement, and Parent shall reimburse each Company Shareholder for half of its Proportionate Interest in any cost or expense in respect of which such amounts are withheld. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all the escrow business of the Escrow Agent's corporate trust line of business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act. The provisions of Sections 6(e) and 6(f) shall survive the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

    7. Fees, Expenses and Taxes. Parent and the Company Shareholders agree to pay or reimburse Escrow Agent for its normal services hereunder in accordance with the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for all expenses, disbursements and advances, including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses, incurred or made by it in connection with the preparation, execution, performance, delivery, modification and termination of this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement upon request for all expenses incurred in connection with Sections 6(e) and 6(f) above, and payment of any legal fees and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the resolution of any claim by any party hereunder. Taxes incurred with respect to the earnings of the Escrow Fund shall be borne by the Company Shareholders, and the parties agree to treat the Company Shareholders as the owners of all of the Escrow Fund for all tax purposes.
    8. Miscellaneous.
      1. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived with the written consent of all of the parties or their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8(a) shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
      2. Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties.

      3. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. Except for matters required to be submitted to arbitration as provided herein, each party to this Agreement irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of State and Federal courts located in San Francisco, California for any action, suit proceeding (administrative or otherwise) arising out of this Agreement.
      4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
      5. Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
      6. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered personally or by courier, overnight delivery service or confirmed facsimile, or 48 hours after being deposited in the regular mail as certified or registered mail (airmail if sent internationally) with postage prepaid, if such notice is addressed to the party to be notified at such party's address or facsimile number as set forth below, or as subsequently modified by written notice.

The Escrow Agent may apply any of the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even where its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary's bank or an intermediary bank designated. The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge that these security procedures are commercially reasonable.

(3) Neither the Company stockholders nor the Company has taken or agreed to take any action that might cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(4) Merger Sub will acquire at least ninety percent (90%) of the fair market value of the net assets and at least seventy percent (70%) of the fair market value of the gross assets held by Company immediately prior to the Merger. For purposes of this representation, amounts paid by Company to dissenters, amounts paid by Company immediately preceding the Merger or in contemplation of the Merger to stockholders (other than in the ordinary course of business) who receive cash or other property, Company assets used to pay its reorganization expenses, and all redemptions and distributions (except for regular, normal dividends) made by Company immediately preceding the Merger (or in contemplation of the Merger), will be included as assets of Company held immediately prior to the Merger.

(5) The liabilities of Company assumed by Merger Sub and the liabilities to which the transferred assets of Company are subject were incurred by Company in the ordinary course of its business. At the Effective Time of the Merger, the Company will have no accrued but unpaid dividends on Company Capital Stock

(6) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3 of the Agreement, the Company and its stockholders will pay their respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the Merger.

(13) The business conducted by the Company immediately prior to the Merger is the Company's historic business.

(14) The Company's principal reasons for entering into the Merger are bona fide business reasons not related to taxes.

(15) Neither Company nor Merger Sub will take any position on any income or franchise tax return, or take any other return position, that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, unless otherwise required by a taxing authority; and each will file all required information with its federal income tax return with respect to the Merger.

(16) Any reduction of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration attributable to the Company options exercised between the date of the Agreement and the Effective Date was negotiated as a purchase price reduction.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is supplied to you in connection with your rendering of opinions pursuant to Sections 6.2(f) and 6.3(g) of the Agreement regarding certain federal income tax consequences of the Merger. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

After review of relevant financial records and consultation with Company counsel and auditors regarding the meaning of and factual support for the following representations, the undersigned officer of Company hereby certifies and represents that the following facts are now true and will continue to be true as of the Effective Time of the Merger:

(1) The descriptions of the Merger and any transactions related thereto with respect to Parent and Merger Sub in the Agreement are true, correct, and complete in all material respects; none of the material terms and conditions therein have been waived or modified (except as provided in the document) by Parent or Merger Sub; and neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any plan or intention to waive or modify any such material term or condition.

(2) The Aggregate Merger Consideration will be approximately equal to the fair market value of the Company Capital Stock owned by the Company stockholders immediately prior to the Effective Date, as determined by arm's length negotiations between the respective managements of Company and Parent.

(3) Neither the Parent nor the Merger Sub has taken or agreed to take any action that might cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(4) Prior to the Merger, Parent will be in control of Merger Sub within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code.

(5) Following the Merger, Merger Sub will not issue additional shares of its stock that would result in Parent losing control of Merger Sub within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code if such issuance of additional shares would cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(6) Parent has no plan or intention to reacquire any of its stock issued in the Merger. No person related to Parent (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(e)(3)) and no person acting as an intermediary for Parent or such related person has a plan or intention to acquire any of the Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger

(7) Following the Merger, Merger Sub will continue the historic business of Company or use a significant portion of Company business assets in a business, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(d).

(8) Parent has no plan or intention to liquidate Merger Sub, to merge Merger Sub with or into another corporation, to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the stock of Merger Sub, or to cause Merger Sub to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of Company acquired in the Merger, except for dispositions made in the ordinary course of business and transfers described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(k).

(9) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3 of the Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub will each pay their respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the Merger.

(11) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is an investment company as defined in Section 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Code.

(12) No stock of Merger Sub will be issued in the Merger.

(13) The total fair market value of the Parent Common Stock to be issued to the Company shareholders at the Effective Time of the Merger will be at least forty percent (40%) of the aggregate value of all consideration being paid in the Merger in exchange for the Company Capital Stock.

(14) The payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock is solely for the purpose of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent of issuing fractional shares and does not represent separately bargained-for consideration. The total cash consideration that will be paid in the transaction to Company shareholders instead of issuing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will not exceed one percent (1%) of the total consideration that will be issued in the transaction to Company shareholders in exchange for their shares of Company capital stock. The fractional share interests of each Company shareholder will be aggregated, and no Company shareholder will receive cash for the fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in an amount equal to or greater than the value of one full share of Parent Common Stock.

(15) Parent's principal reasons for participating in the Merger are bona fide business reasons not related to taxes.

(16) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub will take any position on any income or franchise tax return, or take any other return position, that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, unless otherwise required by a taxing authority; and each will file all required information with its federal income tax return with respect to the Merger.

(17) Each of the individuals executing this certificate on behalf of his or her respective corporation is authorized to make all of the representations set forth herein with respect to such corporation.

Legal Opinion from Company's Counsel

(i) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties, to lease the properties it currently operates under lease and to carry on its business as now being conducted.
