*SEE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FILLING OUT! INCLUDE BOTH SIDES OF THE COVER PAGE, RESPONSES TO ITEMS 1-7 (INCLUDING EXHIBITS) OF THE SCHEDULE, AND THE SIGNATURE ATTESTATION. 3 Page 3 of 6 Pages ----- ----- The information regarding certain shareholders of Micros-To-Mainframes, Inc. contained in this Statement on Schedule 13D is provided to the best knowledge of BTG, Inc. ("BTG") and, unless otherwise indicated, is based on information provided to BTG by such shareholders. Item 1. Security and Issuer This statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Micros-To-Mainframes, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Issuer"), and is being filed by BTG. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 614 Corporate Way, Valley Cottage, New York 10989. Item 2. Identity and Background This Statement is filed by and on behalf of BTG, a Virginia company. BTG is engaged in the information technology business and has its principal office at 3877 Fairfax Ridge Road, Fairfax, Virginia 22030-7448. The name, citizenship, business address, position and present principal occupation of each of the executive officers and directors of BTG (the "Executive Officers and Directors") are set forth in Schedule I of this Statement. During the last five years, neither BTG, nor, to the best knowledge of BTG, any of the persons named in Schedule I to this Statement, has or have been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, United States federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations Pursuant to the Voting and Option Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of August 29, 1997, by and among BTG, the Issuer and certain shareholders of the Issuer listed in Exhibit A to the Agreement (the "M-T-M Shareholders"), BTG has an option (an "Option" and collectively, the "Options"), exercisable only in certain circumstances (as described in Item 5(b) below), none of which has occurred, to acquire from each of the M-T-M Shareholders the shares of Common Stock owned or acquired beneficially or of record by such Shareholder on the date of exercise of the Option (the "Shares"). BTG can exercise all or any of the Options, and each Option is exercisable in whole but not in part. Upon exercise of the Options, each M-T-M Shareholder shall receive a cash exercise price of $5.62 per Share, as adjusted upon the declaration of any stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations or other distributions or changes affecting the Common Stock. It is expected that the source of funds for the exercise of the Options would be BTG's revolving credit facility with several lenders for whom NationsBank, N.A. is the agent. The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement itself, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 hereto. 4 Page 4 of 6 Pages ----- ----- Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, each M-T-M Shareholder granted BTG an Option to purchase all of the Shares owned or acquired beneficially or of record by such Shareholder on the date of exercise of the Option. In addition, each M-T-M Shareholder has agreed to vote in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger (as defined below), and against certain actions that may be adverse to the consummation of the Merger. The purpose of the transactions under the Agreement is to enable BTG and BTG Merger Sub, Inc., a New York corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTG ("Merger Sub"), to consummate the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 29, 1997, by and among BTG, Merger Sub and the Issuer (the "Merger Agreement"). In the Merger, each share of Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive $2.81 in cash and that number of shares of BTG common stock equal in value to $2.81, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, or Issuer will merge with and into Merger Sub (as described in the Merger Agreement) (the "Merger"). The surviving corporation will be either the Issuer or Merger Sub, depending on certain circumstances (as described in the Merger Agreement). The directors of Merger Sub (or such other or additional individuals as BTG may designate prior to the closing of the Merger) immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger shall be the initial directors of the surviving corporation, and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub, substantially as in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Common Stock would cease to exist and cease to be authorized to be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market and would become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement itself, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 hereto. Except as otherwise set forth in this Item 4, neither BTG nor, to the best knowledge of BTG, any of the Executive Officers and Directors have any present plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer which relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in sub-paragraphs (a) through (j) in Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer. (a) BTG beneficially owns 2,503,245 shares of Common Stock as of August 29, 1997, which shares represent 53.1% of the outstanding Common Stock after giving effect to the exercise of the Options (based on the number of outstanding shares as contained in the Merger Agreement after giving effect to the exercise of the Options). (b) When and if BTG acquires the Shares subject to the Options, BTG would have sole voting and investment power with respect thereto. The Agreement provides that the Options to purchase the Shares will become exercisable only upon one of the following events: (i) a breach by a M-T-M Shareholder of the Agreement or a breach by the Issuer of its agreement under Section 7.9 of the Merger Agreement not to engage in the solicitation of acquisition proposals other than the Merger; (ii) a person or group other than BTG acquires, or is granted an option to acquire, more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (iii) a person or group other than BTG makes a tender offer or an exchange offer for at least 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. 5 Page 5 of 6 Pages ----- ----- Pursuant to the Agreement, each M-T-M Shareholder has agreed to vote its Shares in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, against approval or adoption of any extraordinary corporate transaction (other than the Merger, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby), against approval or adoption of resolutions which would have the effect of preventing, delaying or otherwise frustrating consummation of the Merger or otherwise preventing or materially delaying the Issuer from performing its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and against any action which would constitute a breach of any provision of the Merger Agreement or the Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth above in this Item 5, BTG has no right to vote or direct the vote, or dispose or direct the disposition of, any of the Shares. (c) There have been no transactions in the Common Stock by BTG or, to the best knowledge of BTG, by any of the Executive Officers and Directors, during the past 60 days. (d) To the knowledge of BTG, the right to receive dividends with respect to the Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates, and the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of, such Common Stock held by each of the M-T-M Shareholders are held by such Shareholder as reflected on Exhibit A to the Agreement. (e) Not applicable. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. Other than the Merger Agreement described in response to Item 4 and the Agreement described in response to Item 3 and the transactions contemplated thereby, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between BTG and any other person, or, to the best knowledge of BTG, among any of the Executive Officers and Directors or between any of the Executive Officers and Directors and any other person, with respect to the Common Stock.

WHEREAS, the Stockholders are the record and beneficial owners of the number of shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock") as set forth on Exhibit A hereto; WHEREAS, Acquiror, BTG MERGER SUB, INC., a New York corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror ("Merger Sub"), and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of the date hereof, which provides, among other things, for the merger of the Company with and into Merger Sub or the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "Merger") and the conversion and exchange of Company Common Stock into shares of common stock of Acquiror, no par value ("Acquiror Common Stock"), and cash; WHEREAS, to induce Acquiror to enter into the Merger Agreement and to effect the Merger, the Stockholders and the Company have agreed to enter into this Agreement; and WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Merger Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: SECTION 1. DISPOSITION OF SHARES Each Stockholder agrees that such Stockholder will not sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber or dispose of, enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other encumbrance or disposition of any shares of the Company Common Stock now owned or hereafter acquired beneficially or of record by such Stockholder. SECTION 2. VOTING Each Stockholder agrees to vote all of the shares of Company Common Stock now owned or hereafter acquired beneficially or of record by such Stockholder (a) in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including any amendments or modifications of the terms thereof approved by the board of directors of the Company and by Acquiror) in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of consents from, the stockholders of the Company at which or in connection with which the Merger and the Merger Agreement are submitted for the consideration and vote of the stockholders of the Company; (b) against approval or adoption of any extraordinary corporate transaction (other than the Merger, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby) including, without limitation, any transaction involving: (i) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the common stock of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation or other business combination; (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, (iii) a reorganization, recapitalization or liquidation of the Company and its subsidiaries, or (iv) any charter or bylaw amendment creating any new class of securities of the Company or otherwise affecting the rights of any class of security as currently in effect; (c) against approval or adoption of resolutions which would have the effect of preventing, delaying or otherwise frustrating consummation of the Merger or otherwise preventing or 2 materially delaying the Company from performing its obligations under the Merger Agreement; and (d) against any action which would constitute a breach of any provision of the Merger Agreement or this Agreement. To the extent inconsistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, each Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies with respect to the shares of the Company Common Stock owned beneficially or of record by such Stockholder. Each Stockholder hereby waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that such Stockholder may have. SECTION 3. GRANT OF OPTIONS (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to Acquiror an option (each an "Option") to purchase the Company Common Stock now owned or hereafter acquired beneficially or of record by such Stockholder at a cash exercise price of Five Dollars and Sixty-Two Cents ($5.62) per share, as adjusted upon the declaration of any stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations or other distributions or changes affecting the Company Common Stock (the "Option Price"). (b) During the period prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Acquiror or its designee may exercise any Option in whole but not in part, at any time (i) upon the occurrence of (and during the thirty (30) day period following) a breach by a Stockholder of any of such Stockholder's obligations under this Agreement or a breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 7.9 of the Merger Agreement; (ii) any person or group (A) other than Acquiror or its affiliates shall have acquired or become the beneficial owners (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, or (B) any person or group other than Acquiror or its affiliates shall have been granted any option or right, conditional or otherwise, to acquire more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock; or (iii) any person other than Acquiror or its affiliates shall have made a tender offer or exchange offer (or entered into an agreement to make such a tender offer or exchange offer) for at least twenty percent (20%) of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. (c) If Acquiror elects to exercise an Option at such time as such Option is exercisable pursuant to Section 3(b), Acquiror shall deliver written notice (the "Exercise Notice") to the Stockholder specifying Acquiror's intention to exercise such Option, the total number of shares of Company Common Stock that Acquiror wishes to purchase and a date and time for the closing of such purchase (a "Closing"), which Closing shall not be less than three (3) nor more than thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the date such Exercise Notice is given and (ii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act. All Closings under this Section 3 shall be held at the principal executive offices of Acquiror or its counsel, or at such other place as the Stockholder and Acquiror may agree. (d) At each Closing hereunder, (i) Acquiror or its designee will make payment to the Stockholder of the aggregate price for the shares of Company Common Stock being so purchased by delivery of a certified check, official bank check or wire transfer of funds pursuant to the Stockholder's instructions payable to the Stockholder in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Option Price by the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be purchased, and (ii) upon receipt of such payment the Stockholder will deliver to Acquiror or its designee a certificate or certificates representing the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Company Common Stock so purchased, in the denominations and registered in such names designated to the Stockholder in writing by Acquiror. SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF STOCKHOLDERS (a) Each Stockholder represents and warrants to Acquiror as follows: (i) The Stockholder has the necessary power and authority to enter into this agreement and to perform the Stockholder's obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly -2- 3 executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and by the application of general principles of equity. (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not conflict with or violate any law, regulation, court order, judgment or decree applicable to the Stockholder or by which the property of the Stockholder is bound or affected, or conflict with or result in any breach of or constitute a default under any contract or agreement to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or his properties are bound or affected, which conflict, violation, breach or default would adversely affect the Stockholder's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. (iii) The number of shares set forth on Exhibit A next to the Stockholder's name are the only shares of voting stock owned beneficially or of record by Stockholder (the "Shares") and the Stockholder holds no options, warrants, or other rights to acquire shares of any class of capital stock of the Company, except as set forth on Exhibit A. The Stockholder has the sole power respecting voting and transfer of the Shares. The Shares and the certificates representing the Shares are now, and at all times during the term hereof will be, owned beneficially and of record by the Stockholder, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, proxies, options, warrants or other rights, voting trusts or agreements, understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrances whatsoever, except for any such encumbrances arising under this Agreement. SECTION 5. TERMINATION This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which the Merger is consummated or (b) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 1 and 2 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement for the thirty (30) day period specified in Section 3(b) if Acquiror shall have the right to exercise the Option as of the date of such termination; provided, further, that nothing herein shall relieve any party for any breach of this Agreement if this Agreement. SECTION 6. ACCEPTANCE BY THE COMPANY The Company, by the execution of this Agreement, accepts delivery of this Agreement and agrees not to take any action inconsistent with the terms and conditions herein. The Company shall make note of this Agreement in the Company's corporate books and records. SECTION 7. FURTHER ASSURANCES Each Stockholder shall execute and deliver such additional instruments and other documents and shall take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate, carry out and comply with all of such Stockholder's obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the parties hereto shall enter into any agreement or arrangement (or alter, amend or terminate any existing agreement or arrangement) or transaction if such action would impair or interfere with the ability of any party to effectuate, carry out and comply with all of the terms of this Agreement. SECTION 8. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that Acquiror would be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by such Stockholder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Acquiror shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions -3- 4 to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state hereof having jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy to which Acquiror may be entitled at law or equity. Each Stockholder hereby waives any objection to the imposition of such relief or to the posting of a bond in connection therewith. SECTION 9.

WHEREAS, the Company, Acquiror and Merger Sub wish to provide that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the New York Business Corporation Law ("New York Law"), Merger Sub and the Company will enter into a business combination transaction pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub (the "Forward Merger") or, alternatively, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "Reverse Merger" and, together with the Forward Merger, the "Merger"); WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, the Company, Acquiror and Merger Sub intend, by approving resolutions authorizing this Agreement, that the Forward Merger qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); and WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and as an inducement to Acquiror to enter into this Agreement, certain shareholders of the Company (the "Voting Shareholders") have entered into a voting and option agreement with Acquiror (the "Voting Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, such shareholders have agreed to vote their shares of common stock of the Company in favor of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to grant options to Acquiror to purchase their shares of common stock of the Company.

SECTION 1.4. CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION; BYLAWS.

SECTION 1.6. CLOSING. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the "Closing") will take place as promptly as practicable after satisfaction of the latest to occur or, if permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof (the "Closing Date"), at the offices of Hogan & Hartson L.L.P., 8300 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102, unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

ARTICLE II CONVERSION OF SECURITIES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES SECTION 2.1. CONVERSION OF SECURITIES. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities: (a) Company Common Stock. Subject to Sections 2.1(b) and (c) hereof, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time (excluding any shares described in Sections 2.1(d) and (e) and any Dissenting Shares) (the "Outstanding Company Stock") shall be converted, subject to the terms hereof, into the right to receive the following: (i) Two Dollars and Eighty One Cents ($2.81) in cash, without interest; and (ii) that number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to Two Dollars and Eighty One Cents ($2.81) divided by the Acquiror Average Closing Price (as defined below) ((i) and (ii) collectively, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.1(b) and (c) below, the "Per Share Amount"). All such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously evidencing any such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.2 below. The holders of certificates previously evidencing such shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except as otherwise provided herein or by law. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Acquiror Average Closing Price" shall be the average of the reported closing prices of a share of Acquiror Common Stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System/National Market System ("NASDAQ") (or the last bid price in the absence of a trade) during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on such trading day which is seven (7) days prior to the date of the Stockholders' Meeting (the "Determination Date"). (b) Adjustments to the Per Share Amount. The Per Share Amount shall be subject to the following adjustments: -4- 5 (i) If the Acquiror Average Closing Price is greater than Eighteen Dollars ($18.00), the Per Share Amount shall be increased by an additional amount of cash equal to (A) the product of One Thousand Four Hundred Thirty Dollars ($1,430) times each One Cent ($.01) that the Acquiror Average Closing Price exceeds Eighteen Dollars ($18.00) and is less than or equal to Twenty-Six Dollars ($26.00), divided by (B) four million four hundred fifty thousand three hundred seventy-four (4,450,374). (ii) If the Acquiror Average Closing Price is less than or equal to Twelve Dollars and Fifty Cents ($12.50) and greater than Ten Dollars and Fifty Cents ($10.50), the Per Share Amount shall consist of (A) seven hundred sixty-four thousand (764,000) shares of Acquiror Common Stock plus six hundred twenty-five (625) shares of Acquiror Common Stock for each One Cent ($.01) that the Acquiror Average Closing Price is less than Twelve Dollars and Fifty Cents ($12.50) and is greater than Ten Dollars and Fifty Cents ($10.50), divided by four million four hundred fifty thousand three hundred seventy-four (4,450,374), and (B) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to Fifteen Million Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($15,450,000) less One Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Dollars ($1,450) for each One Cent ($.01) that the Acquiror Average Closing Price is less than Twelve Dollars and Fifty Cents ($12.50) and is greater than Ten Dollars and Fifty Cents ($10.50), divided by four million four hundred fifty thousand three hundred seventy-four (4,450,374). (iii) If the Acquiror Average Closing Price is less than or equal to Ten Dollars and Fifty Cents ($10.50), the Per Share Amount shall consist of (A) Three Dollars and Forty-One Cents ($3.41) in cash, without interest, and (B) 0.1997584 share of Acquiror Common Stock; provided, however, that Acquiror may elect, by notifying the Company in writing within two (2) days after the Determination Date, to structure the Merger as a Reverse Merger. (iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the product of the Per Share Amount (with the stock portion thereof determined based on the Acquiror Average Closing Price), as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.1(b), times the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock (the "Aggregate Share Amount") exceeds the amount of Twenty-Seven Million Eight Hundred Sixty Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars ($27,860,833) (the "Aggregate Share Cap"), then the cash portion of the Per Share Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to (A) the difference between the Aggregate Share Amount and the Aggregate Share Cap, divided by (B) the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock. (c) Adjustments to the Form of Merger Consideration. The relative amounts of cash and Acquiror Common Stock comprising the Per Share Amount -5- 6 (prior to the adjustment pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i)) shall be subject to the following adjustments: (i) If the Acquiror Average Closing Price is greater than Twelve Dollars and Fifty Cents ($12.50) and less than Sixteen Dollars ($16.00), the Per Share Amount shall consist of (A) 0.1716709 share of Acquiror Common Stock, and (B) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to Five Dollars and Sixty-Two Cents ($5.62), less the product of 0.1716709 times the Acquiror Average Closing Price. (ii) If the Acquiror Average Closing Price is equal to or greater than Twenty-Six Dollars ($26.00) and the Company has not made the election pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(iii), the Per Share Amount shall consist of (A) 0.1123501 share of Acquiror Common Stock, and (B) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to Five Dollars and Sixty-Two Cents ($5.62), less the product of 0.1123501 times the Acquiror Average Closing Price. (iii) Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, if the Acquiror Average Closing Price is equal to or greater than Twenty-Six Dollars ($26.00), the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect, by notifying Acquiror in writing within two (2) days after the Determination Date that the entire Per Share Amount be in the form of Five Dollars and Sixty-Two Cents ($5.62) in cash; provided, however, that if the Company makes such an election, then (A) the additional amount payable under Section 2.1(b)(i) shall not apply and (B) Acquiror may elect, by notifying the Company in writing within two (2) days of receipt of the notice of Company's election under this Section 2.1(c)(iii), to structure the Merger as a Reverse Merger. (iv) If in the reasonable judgment of Acquiror, the amount of cash reasonably expected to be paid in respect of the Dissenting Shares may cause the Forward Merger not to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, then the relative amounts of cash and Acquiror Common Stock comprising the Per Share Amount shall be adjusted so that, in the reasonable judgment of Acquiror, the Forward Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code; provided, however, that if such adjustment would cause the total number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued in the Merger, plus the total number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock required to be reserved for the 1996 Stock Options pursuant to Section 2.3(b), to exceed nine hundred fifty thousand (950,000), then Acquiror may elect, by notifying the Company in writing no later than five (5) days after the Stockholders' Meeting, to structure the Merger as a Reverse Merger. Notwithstanding such an election by Acquiror, the Merger shall be structured as a Forward Merger if within one (1) day after such election by Acquiror the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies Acquiror in writing of its election to reduce the cash portion of the Per Share Amount (and, as a result, -6- 7 reduce the total Per Share Amount) by the amount that would result, in the reasonable judgment of Acquiror, in the Forward Merger qualifying as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Acquiror and the Company agree that in all events, the Forward Merger should qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code if the sum of the amount of cash paid in respect of Dissenting Shares and the amount of cash paid as part of the Per Share Amount to all holders of shares of Outstanding Company Stock pursuant to Section 2.1, is sixty-two percent (62%) or less of the sum of cash payable in respect of Dissenting Shares and the Aggregate Share Amount. (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the aggregate number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger, plus the total number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock required to be reserved for the 1996 Stock Options pursuant to Section 2.3(b), shall not exceed nine hundred fifty thousand (950,000). (d) Acquiror-Owned Shares. All shares of capital stock of the Company owned, directly or indirectly, by Acquiror or Merger Sub shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor. (e) Treasury Stock. All shares of capital stock of the Company held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no cash or Acquiror Common Stock shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor. (f) Merger Sub Stock. In the case of the Reverse Merger, 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 (1) duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. (g) No Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Acquiror Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of Company Common Stock entitled to receive shares of Acquiror Common Stock in the Merger shall have the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest), rounded to the nearest cent, determined by multiplying (i) the Acquiror Average Closing Price by (ii) the fractional interest in Acquiror Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. SECTION 2.2. EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENT OF CASH. (a) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company -7- 8 designated by Acquiror and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the "Exchange Agent"), in trust for the benefit of the holders of shares of Outstanding Company Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, (i) certificates evidencing the whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for Outstanding Company Stock, (ii) cash in the aggregate amount required to be exchanged for shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1 and (iii) cash in an amount sufficient to permit payment of cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(g) (the cash described in (ii) and (iii), collectively, the "Exchange Cash Consideration") (such certificates for shares of Acquiror Common Stock and the Exchange Cash Consideration, being hereafter collectively referred to as the "Exchange Fund"). Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Any interest, dividends or other income earned on the investment of the Exchange Cash Consideration shall be for the account of Acquiror. Acquiror agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent from time to time, as needed, any additional cash required to pay any dividends or distributions subsequent to the Effective Time with respect to certificates for shares of Acquiror Common Stock held by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(d). (b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Outstanding Company Stock (the "Certificates"), (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 proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions to effect the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the certificates evidencing shares of Acquiror Common Stock and cash. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other customary documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) certificates evidencing that number of whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive in accordance with Section 2.1 in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly evidenced by such Certificate, (B) cash which such holder has the right to receive in accordance with Section 2.1, (C) cash in lieu of fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(g) and (D) any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(d) (the shares of Acquiror Common Stock and cash described in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) being, collectively, the "Merger Consideration"), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the -8- 9 right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration and no rights in any shares of Company Common Stock. (c) No Further Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid upon conversion of the shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article II, and all cash paid pursuant to Section 2.5, shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock and the holders of Company Common Stock shall have no further ownership rights therein after the Effective Time. (d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Company Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Acquiror Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Acquiror Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1 until such holder shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable law and the provisions of this Article II, following the surrender of any such Certificate there shall be paid to the record holder of the shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued in exchange for such Certificate, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Acquiror Common Stock. (e) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of Acquiror Common Stock is requested to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange shall have paid (and presented to the Exchange Agent documents evidencing such payment), any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Acquiror Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered, or have established to the satisfaction of Acquiror that such tax has been paid or is not payable. (f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Acquiror, upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock that have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror as general creditors for the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled. -9- 10 (g) No Liability. Neither Acquiror nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any Acquiror Common Stock or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. (h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate evidencing shares of Company Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit setting forth that fact by the person claiming such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate(s) and granting a reasonable indemnity against any claim that may be made against Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to such Certificate(s), Acquiror shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay to such person the Merger Consideration with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate(s). (i) Withholding Rights. Acquiror or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (including dividends or distributions with respect to Acquiror Common Stock) to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts as Acquiror or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Acquiror or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amount shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Acquiror or the Exchange Agent. SECTION 2.3. COMPANY OPTIONS. (a) 1993 Stock Option Plan. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding stock option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a "1993 Stock Option") granted under the Company's 1993 Employee Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "1993 Company Stock Option Plan"), whether or not exercisable, shall be terminated. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall pay to each holder of a 1993 Stock Option listed on Schedule 2.3(a) that is outstanding as of such time, the amount of cash set forth next to such holder's name on Schedule 2.3(a). No such payment shall be made with respect to any such 1993 Stock Options listed on Schedule 2.3(a) that are exercised prior to or as of the Effective Time. Any such payment shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all such action as is necessary to terminate the 1993 Company Stock Option Plan and the 1993 Stock Options as of the Effective Time so that on and after the Effective Time no holder of a 1993 Stock Option or participant or former participant in the 1993 Company Stock Option Plan shall have any right to purchase shares of Company Common Stock or any other equity interest in the -10- 11 Company or the Surviving Corporation under the 1993 Company Stock Option Plan or the 1993 Stock Options. (b) 1996 Stock Option Plan. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.3(b), at the Effective Time, each outstanding stock option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a "1996 Stock Option") granted under the Company's 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Stock Option Plan"), whether or not exercisable, shall be converted into (i) the right to receive from the Company an amount in cash at Closing equal to (A) the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock covered by such 1996 Stock Option, multiplied by the cash portion of the Per Share Amount into which a share of Company Common Stock is converted pursuant to Section 2.1, less (B) the product of the Cash Conversion Number (as defined below) multiplied by the aggregate exercise price payable for the shares of Company Common Stock covered by such 1996 Stock Option; and (ii) an option to acquire (A) that number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock into which a share of Company Common Stock is converted pursuant to Section 2.1 and rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, and (B) with an exercise price per share of Acquiror Common Stock equal to (x) the product of exercise price per share of Company Common Stock in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Stock Conversion Number (as defined below), divided by (y) the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock into which a share of Company Common Stock is converted pursuant to Section 2.1, with such quotient rounded up to the nearest cent. Any such payment shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. The "Cash Conversion Number" shall be the number determined by dividing (i) the cash portion of the Per Share Amount into which a share of Company Common Stock is converted pursuant to Section 2.1, by (ii) the sum of the amount determined in (i) plus the product of the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock into which a share of Company Common Stock is converted pursuant to Section 2.1 multiplied by the Acquiror Average Closing Price. The "Stock Conversion Number" shall be one (1) minus the Cash Conversion Number. (c) The portion of each 1996 Stock Option that is converted into an option to acquire Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.3(b) shall be on terms and conditions no less favorable than those applicable to such 1996 Stock Option prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent inconsistent with or prohibited by the terms and conditions of Acquiror's stock option plans or this Agreement, in which case the terms and conditions of Acquiror's stock option plans or this Agreement, as the case may be, shall govern. Nothing in Section 2.3(b) shall affect the schedule of vesting with respect to the 1996 Stock Options in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. As soon as practicable after the Effective -11- 12 Time, Acquiror shall deliver to each holder of an outstanding 1996 Stock Option an appropriate notice setting forth such holder's rights pursuant thereto. Acquiror shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock for delivery pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 2.3(b). The shares of Acquiror Common Stock underlying the portion of the 1996 Stock Options converted into Acquiror options pursuant to Section 2.3(b) shall be issued under a registration statement on Form S-8 previously filed by Acquiror. Except with respect to the portion of the 1996 Stock Options that are converted into options to acquire Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and to the extent that the terms of such 1996 Stock Options are not inconsistent with or prohibited by the terms and conditions of Acquiror's stock option plans or this Agreement, the Company shall, prior to the Closing, take all such action as is necessary to terminate the 1996 Company Stock Option Plan as of the Effective Time so that on and after the Effective Time no person shall have any right to purchase shares of Company Common Stock or any other equity interest in the Company or the Surviving Corporation under the 1996 Company Stock Option Plan. SECTION 2.4. STOCK TRANSFER BOOKS. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to all shares of capital stock of the Company shall be closed and no further registration of transfers of such shares of capital stock shall thereafter be made on the records of the Company. SECTION 2.5. DISSENTING SHARES. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who shall not have voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who shall have, in accordance with Section 623 of New York Law, filed with the Company a written objection to the Merger including, among other things, a notice of the stockholders' election to dissent and a demand for payment of fair value for such shares (collectively, the "Dissenting Shares"), shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such shares of Company Common Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 623, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their dissenters' rights under such Section 623 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the Merger Consideration, upon surrender, in the manner -12- 13 provided in Section 2.2, of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock. SECTION 2.6 TAX CONSEQUENCES. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Forward Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

The Company and each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified to conduct its business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned, operated or leased or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except for such failure which would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company and each Company Subsidiary has the requisite power and authority and any necessary governmental authority, franchise, license or permit to own, operate, lease and otherwise to hold and operate its assets and properties and to carry on the businesses as now being conducted, except for such failures which would not in the aggregate have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no Subsidiaries (as defined below) or any equity interest or other investment in any person other than those listed in Schedule 3.1, each of which person is, unless otherwise indicated on Schedule 3.1, a Company Subsidiary. As used herein, an item or items would have a "Company Material Adverse Effect" if such item or items would (i) have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (ii) prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger by the Company in any material respect. -13- 14 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Subsidiary" of any person means any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other legal entity of which such person (either alone or through or together with any other Subsidiary) (i) owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the stock, partnership interests or other equity interests the holders of which are generally entitled to vote for the election of the board of directors or other governing body of such corporation, partnership, joint venture or other legal entity; or (ii) possesses, directly or indirectly, control over the direction of management or policies of such corporation, partnership, joint venture or other legal entity (whether through ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise). SECTION 3.2. CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS.
