common stock of Cross Medical Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Cross").

Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Issuer merged with and into Cross with Cross surviving the merger and

the foregoing, Cross became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer.
