Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article 10. RECITALS A. The Boards of Directors of each of IMNT and USSC have approved this Agreement and deem it advisable and in the best interests of IMNT and USSC, respectively, and their respective stockholders that IMNT acquire USSC by the merger of USSC with and into IMNT (the "Merger") and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. B. Before the Effective Time and as a condition to consummation of the Merger, all outstanding shares of USSC Preferred Stock will be converted into outstanding shares of USSC Common Stock and all holders of USSC Preferred Stock shall have agreed to accept shares of IMNT common stock in exchange for all accrued but unpaid dividends. C. Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) all of the outstanding shares of USSC Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time of the Merger shall be converted into the right to receive shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of IMNT ("IMNT Common Stock"), and (ii) all USSC Options, USSC Warrants and USSC Stock Purchase Rights then outstanding (whether vested or unvested) shall become exercisable for IMNT Common Stock, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. D. IMNT and USSC intend that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and in furtherance thereof intend that this Agreement shall be a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Sections 354(a) and 361(a) of the Code. E. USSC and IMNT desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger. NOW, THEREFORE, AS CONSIDERATION FOR the covenants, promises, representations and warranties set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged by the parties), intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows: Article1 THE MERGER 1.1 The Merger At the Effective Time and on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the applicable Nevada Delaware Law, USSC shall be merged with and into IMNT, the separate corporate existence of USSC shall cease, and IMNT shall continue as the surviving corporation. IMNT sometimes is referred to herein as the "Surviving Corporation." 4 1.2 Effective Time Unless this Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, the closing of the Merger (the "Closing") is expected to occur on the date that the Registration Statement on Form S-4 is declared "effective" by the Securities and Exchange Commission and will occur no later than five (5) Business Days following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, at the offices of MC Law Group, 4100 Newport Place, Suite 860, Newport Beach, California 92660, unless another place or time is agreed to by IMNT and USSC. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the "Closing Date." On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing an Certificate of Merger (or similar instrument), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Nevada Certificate of Merger"), with the Nevada Secretary of State and filing a Certificate of Merger (or similar instrument), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Delaware Certificate of Merger"), with the Delaware Secretary of State, in each case in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law (the time of acceptance by the Delaware Secretary of State of such filing or such later time as may be agreed to by the parties and set forth in the Delaware Certificate of Merger being referred to herein as the "Effective Time"). 1.3 Effect of the Merger on Constituent Corporations At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of Delaware and Nevada Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of IMNT and USSC shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of IMNT and USSC shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. 1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Surviving Corporation (a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of IMNT, as in effect immediately before the Effective Time, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law and such certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. (b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of IMNT, as in effect immediately before the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by such bylaws, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and applicable law. 1.5 Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation Effective immediately upon the Closing, all of the current directors of IMNT will appoint the current directors of USSC as directors of the Surviving Corporation (the "Post-Closing Directors") and, thereafter, will resign as of the Effective Time, each Post-Closing Director to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. Effective immediately upon the Closing, all of the current officers of IMNT will resign and the Post-Closing Directors shall appoint new officers, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. 1.6 Maximum Number of Shares of IMNT Common Stock to be Issued; Effect on Outstanding Securities of USSC The maximum number of shares of IMNT Common Stock to be issued (including IMNT Common Stock to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of USSC Options, USSC Warrants (if any) or USSC Stock Purchase Rights to be assumed by IMNT as provided herein) in exchange for the acquisition by IMNT of all shares of USSC Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time and all vested and unvested USSC Options, USSC Warrants (if any) and USSC Stock Purchase Rights that then are outstanding (other than USSC Warrants that by their terms expire without payment, conversion, adjustment or other 5 consideration at the Effective Time) shall not exceed the Aggregate Share Number. No adjustment shall be made in the number of shares of IMNT Common Stock issued in the Merger as a result of any consideration (in any form whatsoever) received by USSC from the date hereof to the Effective Time as a result of any exercise, conversion or exchange of USSC Options, USSC Warrants or USSC Stock Purchase Rights. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, because of the Merger and without any action on the part of IMNT, USSC or the holders of shares of USSC Common Stock or USSC Options, USSC Warrants or USSC Stock Purchase Rights, the following shall occur: (a) Conversion of USSC Common Stock. Each share of USSC Common Stock (assuming conversion of all outstanding shares of USSC Preferred Stock) issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares (as provided in Section 1.10)) shall be cancelled and extinguished, and each share of USSC Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into the right to receive, following the expiration or early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act that is applicable to the holder of such share at the Effective Time, that number of shares of IMNT Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (subject to Section 1.9). (b) IMNT Common Stock. Each share of IMNT Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall remain outstanding as one validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable share of the same class of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, with identical rights and privileges. From and after the Effective Time, each share certificate of IMNT theretofore evidencing ownership of such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. (c) USSC Options and USSC Stock Option Plan. All unexpired and unexercised USSC Options, USSC Warrants and USSC Stock Purchase Rights then outstanding, whether vested or unvested, together with the USSC Stock Option Plan, shall be assumed by IMNT in accordance with the following: Each unexpired and unexercised USSC Option, USSC Warrant and USSC Stock Purchase Right then outstanding, whether vested or unvested, shall be, in connection with the Merger, assumed by IMNT, together with the USSC Stock Option Plan, if any. Each USSC Option, USSC Warrant and USSC Stock Purchase Right so assumed by IMNT under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such USSC Option, USSC Warrant or USSC Stock Purchase Right immediately before the Effective Time (including all repurchase rights or vesting provisions), provided that (A) such USSC Option, USSC Warrant or USSC Stock Purchase Right, as the case may be, shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of IMNT Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of USSC Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such USSC Option, USSC Warrant or USSC Stock Purchase Right immediately before the Effective Time (assuming such USSC Option, USSC Warrant or USSC Stock Purchase Right were exercisable in full) multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of IMNT Common Stock), and (B) the per-share exercise price for the shares of IMNT Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed USSC Option, USSC Warrant or USSC Stock Purchase Right, as the case may be, shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of USSC Common Stock at which such USSC Option, USSC Warrant or USSC Stock Purchase Right was exercisable immediately before the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is the intention of the parties that USSC Options assumed by IMNT shall qualify following the Effective Time as incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the same extent USSC Options qualified as incentive stock options immediately before the Effective Time. The provisions of this Section 1.6(c) shall be applied consistent with the intent described in the preceding sentence. 6 1.7 Reservation of Shares IMNT shall reserve sufficient shares of IMNT Common Stock for issuance pursuant to Section 1.6. 1.8 Adjustments to Exchange Ratio The Exchange Ratio shall be equitably adjusted to accommodate fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock combination, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into IMNT Common Stock or USSC Common Stock), reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar change with respect to IMNT Common Stock or USSC Common Stock the effective date of which occurs after the date of this Agreement and before the Effective Time. 1.9 Fractional Shares No fraction of a share of IMNT Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of USSC Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to a fraction of a share of IMNT Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of IMNT Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall be entitled to receive from IMNT an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (a) such fraction multiplied by (b) the Closing Price. 1.10 Dissenting Shares (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of USSC Common Stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with the Nevada Code, and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal or dissenters' rights ("Dissenting Shares"), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive IMNT Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6, but the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the Nevada Code. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.10(a), if any holder of shares of USSC Common Stock who demands appraisal of such shares in accordance with the Nevada Code effectively withdraws or loses (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal, then, as of the later of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the occurrence of such event, such holder's shares shall be converted automatically into and represent only the right to receive IMNT Common Stock as provided in Section 1.6, without interest thereon, upon surrender to the Surviving Corporation of the certificate representing such shares in accordance with Section 1.11. (c) USSC shall give IMNT (i) prompt notice of its receipt of any written demand for appraisal of shares of USSC Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instrument relating to the Merger served in accordance with the Nevada Code and received by USSC and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal in accordance with the Nevada Code. USSC shall not, except with the prior written consent of IMNT or as may be required in accordance with applicable law, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demand for appraisal of USSC Common Stock or offer to settle or settle any such demand. 1.11 Exchange Procedures (a) IMNT Common Stock. On the Closing Date, IMNT shall issue or cause to be issued for exchange in accordance with Section 1.6(a) the aggregate number of shares of IMNT Common Stock issuable as of the Effective Time in exchange for issued and outstanding shares of USSC Common Stock as of the Effective Time (b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately before the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding shares of USSC Common Stock (the "Certificates") and that were converted into the right to receive shares of IMNT Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6, instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of IMNT Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares. Upon 7 surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Surviving Corporation or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by IMNT, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions contained therein, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of IMNT Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6 and cash in lieu of fractional shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.9, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time IMNT shall cause to be distributed to such holder a certificate or certificates (in such denominations as may be requested by such holder) representing that number of shares of IMNT Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, which certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of such holder. (c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares of USSC Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions with respect to IMNT Common Stock declared or made after the Effective Time and with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of IMNT Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate surrenders such Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of IMNT Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable (but for the provisions of this Section 1.11(c)) with respect to such whole shares of IMNT Common Stock. (d) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of IMNT Common Stock is to be issued pursuant to the Merger in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that (i) 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 to IMNT or any agent designated by it all transfer and other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of IMNT Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or it shall have been established to the satisfaction of IMNT or any agent designated by it that such taxes have been paid or are not payable, and (ii) the Person surrendering such Certificate shall provide the Surviving Corporation with an opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Surviving Corporation, that such transfer does not violate state or federal securities laws. (e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.11, neither USSC, the Surviving Corporation, nor IMNT shall be liable to a holder of shares of USSC Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. 1.12 No Further Ownership Rights in USSC Common Stock All shares of IMNT Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of USSC Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full and complete satisfaction of all rights and privileges pertaining to such shares of USSC Common Stock, and there shall be no additional registration of transfers on the records of USSC of shares of USSC Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 1. 1.13 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates In the event that Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Surviving Corporation shall issue or cause to be issued Certificates 8 representing such shares of IMNT Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the execution and delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof; provided, however, that IMNT may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to provide an indemnity against any claim that may be made against IMNT with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. 1.14 Tax Consequences It is intended by the parties that the Merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, USSC shall not, without the prior written consent of IMNT, take or agree in writing or otherwise to take, any action that would make any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any material respect or prevent USSC from performing or cause USSC not to perform its agreements and covenants specified in this Agreement or knowingly cause any condition to IMNT's closing obligations in Section 6.3 not to be satisfied. 4.2 No Solicitation Until the earlier of the Effective Time and the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1, USSC shall not take (and since January 1, 2003, has not taken), nor will USSC (and since January 1, 2003, has not permitted) permit any of USSC' s Representatives to take (directly or indirectly) any of the following actions with any Person other than IMNT and its designees: (a) solicit, encourage, initiate, entertain, review or encourage any proposal or offer from, or participate in or conduct discussions with or engage in negotiations with, any Person relating to any offer, indication of interest or proposal, oral, written or otherwise, formal or informal (a "Competing Proposed Transaction"), with respect to any possible Business Combination with USSC, (b) provide information not customarily disclosed consistent with USSC' s past practices with respect to USSC to any Person, other than IMNT, relating to (or which USSC believes or should reasonably know would be used for the purpose of formulating an offer, indication of interest or proposal with respect to), or otherwise assist, cooperate with, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any such Person with regard to, any possible Business Combination with USSC, (c) agree to, or enter into a Contract with any Person, other than IMNT, providing for, or approving a Business Combination with USSC, (d) make or authorize any statement, recommendation, solicitation or endorsement in support of any possible Business Combination with USSC other than by IMNT, or (e) authorize or permit any of USSC' s Representatives to take any such action.

Each of USSC and IMNT acknowledges that this Section 4.2 was a significant inducement for IMNT to enter into this Agreement and that the absence of such provision would have resulted in either (i) a material reduction in the consideration to be paid to the stockholders of USSC in the Merger or (ii) a failure to induce IMNT to enter into this Agreement.
