The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Merger with each of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Secretary of State of the State of Florida (the “Effective Time”).

- 2 -

Section 368(a) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereby expressly agrees that any tax consequences resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby will be the respective sole obligation of the affected party, unless such adverse tax consequences are exclusively and solely the result of the actions of the other party. Neither party hereto or any representative of either party makes or has made any representation with respect to the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and automatically without any action on the part of any holder of capital stock of Health Benefits, Merger Sub or ISG, respectively:

(a) Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 2.2 below, the outstanding shares of ISG Common Stock shall automatically be converted into and become the right of Spinner to receive, in the aggregate: (i) cash payments equal to $920,000 (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of Health Benefits Common Stock, (the “Equity Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). The amount of the Cash Consideration shall equal the greatest amount permissible (up to 20% of the Merger Consideration) without jeopardizing the tax-free nature of the transaction pursuant to Section 368 of the Code.

(b) Each outstanding share of common stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and the stock of the Surviving Corporation issued on that conversion will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.2 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) ISG and Spinner shall use their best efforts to ensure that at Closing, ISG shall have Closing Date Working Capital of approximately $0, exclusive of $124,000 received by ISG as consideration for the discount medical business sold to Spinner prior to Closing (the “Working Capital Threshold”). Within twenty (20) days after the Closing, Spinner or his representatives shall prepare a statement (the “Closing Date Working Capital Statement”) setting forth the Working Capital of ISG as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Working Capital”). Except for adjustments set forth on Section 2.2 of the Merger Sub Disclosure Schedule, the Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall (i) fairly and accurately present the Closing Date Working Capital, applied on a basis consistent with the manner in which the Audited Financial Statements were prepared, and (ii) be presented in a manner consistent with the format set forth in the Audited Financial Statements. Spinner shall send to the Surviving Corporation a copy of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement within five (5) days of the completion thereof.

(b) The Surviving Corporation shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which the Closing Date Working Capital Statement is delivered to such Person (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Date Working Capital Statement. If the Surviving

- 3 -

Corporation objects to the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital as set forth on such Closing Date Working Capital Statement, the Surviving Corporation shall so inform Spinner in writing (the “Objection”), on or before the last day of the Review Period, setting forth a specific description of the basis of the Objection and the adjustments to the Closing Date Working Capital Statement which the Surviving Corporation believes should be made. In the event that Spinner does not receive an Objection on or before the last day of the Review Period, the Surviving Corporation shall be deemed to have agreed to the Closing Date Working Capital Statement. Spinner shall have fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Objection to review and respond to the Objection and the parties shall attempt in good faith to reach an agreement with respect to any matters in dispute. If Spinner and the Surviving Corporation are unable to resolve all of their differences within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Objection to Spinner, they shall refer their remaining differences to a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as to which the Surviving Corporation and Spinner shall mutually agree (the “WC Arbiter”). The WC Arbiter shall determine whether or not the Objection is correct and shall finally determine the Closing Date Working Capital. The WC Arbiter’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Surviving Corporation and Spinner, and shall be set forth in a written determination of the WC Arbiter. The non-prevailing party shall pay the fees of the WC Arbiter (unless the WC Arbiter otherwise determines). The Surviving Corporation and Spinner shall make readily available to the WC Arbiter all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those, if any, of its accountants) in its possession relating to the Closing Date Working Capital, and all other items reasonably requested by the WC Arbiter.

(c) The “Final Working Capital Amount” shall be (i) if no Objection is sent to Spinner prior to the end of the Review Period, the amount of Closing Date Working Capital set forth on the Closing Date Working Capital Statement delivered by the Spinner, (ii) if Objection(s) are made but finally determined among Spinner and the Surviving Corporation prior to referring any such dispute to a WC Arbiter, the amount of Closing Date Working Capital so finally determined among such Persons; and (iii) if any Objection(s) are sent to a WC Arbiter, the amount of Closing Date Working Capital finally determined by such WC Arbiter.

(d) If the Final Working Capital Amount is less than the Working Capital Threshold, then Spinner shall pay Health Benefits, in cash, within thirty (30) days of the determination of the Final Working Capital Amount, an amount equal to the difference between the Final Working Capital Amount and the Working Capital Threshold.

(e) If the Final Working Capital Amount is greater than the Working Capital Threshold, then the excess balance shall be distributed to Spinner within thirty (30) days of the determination of the Final Working Capital Amount.

Section 2.3 Exchange Procedures. At the Closing, Spinner shall surrender the certificate(s) representing his shares of ISG Common Stock to Health Benefits and shall promptly upon surrender thereof receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration. The certificate(s) of ISG Common Stock so surrendered shall be duly endorsed in blank for transfer or accompanied by separate stock powers duly executed in blank, and upon surrender shall subsequently be cancelled.

- 4 -

Section 2.4 Rights of Spinner.

(a) At and after the Effective Time, no transfer of ISG Common Stock shall thereafter be made or recognized. Until surrender for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3, each certificate theretofore representing shares of ISG Common Stock shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in exchange therefor.

(b) Spinner shall have the same registration rights and lock-up restrictions regarding the Equity Consideration as the founders of Health Benefits have on their shares of Health Benefits Common Stock, which are described in Health Benefits’ public filings with the SEC.

ARTICLE III

ISG is and at all times has been in compliance with federal and state criminal and civil laws, and the regulations promulgated pursuant to such laws.

Section 3.10 Material Contracts.

(a) Section 3.10 of the ISG Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all agreements ISG would be required to file as material contracts under Item 601 of Regulation S-K, including contracts entered into by Spinner, were ISG subject to the Exchange Act and the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K (the “Material Contracts”). ISG has heretofore delivered to Health Benefits true, correct and complete copies of all Material Contracts. ISG is not a party to nor bound by any severance or other agreement with any employee, consultant or contractor pursuant to which such Person would be entitled to receive any additional

- 7 -

compensation or an accelerated payment of compensation as a result of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

(b) Each of the Material Contracts constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of ISG or Spinner, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and is in full force and effect. ISG and Spinner do not have any knowledge of any termination or breach or anticipated termination or breach by the other parties to any Material Contract or commitment to which it is a party or to which any of its assets are subject.

(c) No party to any such Material Contract has given notice to ISG or Spinner of, or made a claim against ISG or Spinner in respect of, any breach or default thereunder.

Section 3.11 No Default.

(a) Nether ISG nor Spinner is in breach or default, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time would constitute a breach or default by ISG or Spinner, or permit termination, modification or acceleration, under the Material Contracts and, to the knowledge of ISG or Spinner, no other party to any of the Material Contracts is as of the date of this Agreement in breach or default (and no event has occurred which with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a default or violation) under any of the Material Contracts.

(b) ISG is not in default or violation (and no event has occurred which with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a default or violation) of any term, condition or provision of (i) its organizational or governing documents or (ii) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity applicable to ISG, except (for clause (ii) only) such defaults and violations which, in the aggregate, will not have an ISG Material Adverse Effect. ISG has all governmental permits, licenses and authorizations necessary for the conduct of its business as presently conducted (the “Permits”) and is in compliance with the terms of the Permits, except for such Permits the absence of which would not have an ISG Material Adverse Effect or any non-compliance which will not have an ISG Material Adverse Effect.

As of the date of this Agreement, ISG has not received notice that it is subject to any outstanding injunction, writ, judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Entity. There is no action, suit or proceeding or investigation pending or, to ISG’s or Spinner’s knowledge, threatened against any current or former officer, director, employee, consultant, contractor or agent of ISG (in his or her capacity as such) which gives rise or could reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for contribution or indemnification against ISG.

- 8 -

Section 3.13 Taxes. Except as set forth in Section 3.13 of the ISG Disclosure Schedule,

(a) ISG has, within the time and manner prescribed by law, (i) filed with the appropriate taxing authorities, or each such Tax Return was complete and accurate and (ii) paid in full all Taxes shown to be due and payable thereon. ISG has withheld and paid all taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with any amounts paid or owing to any employee or independent contractor and all Forms W-2 and 1099 required with respect thereto have been properly completed and timely filed.

(b) No deficiencies for any Taxes have been asserted in writing or, to the knowledge of ISG or Spinner, verbally proposed or assessed against ISG which remain unpaid, or which are not being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; and as of the dates of ISG Financial Statements, ISG has adequately reserved for all Taxes payable by ISG for which no Tax Return has yet been filed.

(c) ISG has not (i) entered into a closing agreement or other similar agreement with a taxing authority relating to Taxes of ISG with respect to a taxable period for which the statute of limitations is still open, or (ii) granted any waiver of any statute of limitations with respect to, or any extension of a period for the assessment of, any income Tax, in either case, that is still outstanding.

	Section 6.2	Indemnification.
(a)		Indemnification by Spinner.

(i) Spinner shall defend, indemnify and hold Health Benefits, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation, for their own accounts and that of their Representatives (collectively, the “Health Benefits Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and against and in respect of any and all actual losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred directly by Health Benefits, Merger Sub, the

- 21 -

Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates which arise out of (A) any failure of any of the representations or warranties made by ISG or Spinner to be true and correct at the Closing, (B) any failure to comply with an undertaking or covenant made by ISG or Spinner, (C) any act, omission or conduct of Spinner, ISG, or their respective Representatives, prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Closing, (D) any Taxes incurred by ISG or Spinner prior to the Closing or by virtue of the Contemplated Transactions, or (E) any claim brought by Xxxx Xxxxxxx. Health Benefits, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall give Spinner prompt written notice of any third party claim which may give rise to any indemnity obligation under this Section 6.2(a) and Spinner shall have the right to assume the defense of any such claim through counsel of his own choosing, by so notifying such indemnified party within 30 days of receipt of such indemnified party’s written notice; provided, however, that Spinner’s counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations hereunder in the absence of actual prejudice. If the indemnified party desires to participate in any such defense assumed by Spinner, it may do so at its sole cost and expense. If Spinner declines to assume any such defense, he shall be liable for all reasonable costs and expenses of defending such claim incurred by the indemnified party, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel. Neither party shall, without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree which would restrict the future activity or conduct of the other party or any Affiliate thereof or if such settlement or compromise does not include an unconditional release of the other party for any liability arising out of such claim or demand or any related claim or demand.

(ii) The foregoing obligation of Spinner to indemnify Health Benefits, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and their Representatives set forth in this Section 6.2(a) shall survive the consummation of the Merger until the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that rights to indemnification due to (A) breaches of Sections 3.1 (Organization), 3.2 (Capitalization), 3.3 (Subsidiaries), 3.4 (Authority), 3.5 (Consents) and 3.21 (Additional Representations), shall survive until the end of time and (B) breaches of Sections 3.13 (Taxes), 3.17 (Environmental), 5.2(b) (Tax Filings) and the indemnity for Taxes described in Section 6.2(a)(i)(D), shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; and provided, further, that claims first asserted in writing within such periods shall not thereafter be barred.

(b) Indemnification by Health Benefits.

(i) Health Benefits shall defend, indemnify and hold Spinner, for his own account and that of the Representatives of ISG and Spinner (collectively, the “ISG Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against and in respect of any and all actual losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred directly by the ISG Indemnified Parties arising out of (A) any failure of any of the representations and warranties made by Health Benefits or Merger Sub to be true and correct at the Closing, (B) any failure to comply with an undertaking or covenant made by Health Benefits or Merger Sub, or (C) any act, omission or conduct of Health Benefits or Merger Sub or their Representatives, prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Closing, except for acts, omissions or conduct specifically assumed under this Agreement.

- 22 -

Spinner shall give Health Benefits prompt written notice of any third party claim which may give rise to any indemnity obligation under this Section 6.2(b) and Health Benefits shall have the right to assume the defense of any such claim through counsel of its own choosing, by so notifying Spinner within 30 days of receipt of the written notice; provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Spinner. Failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations hereunder in the absence of actual prejudice. If Spinner desires to participate in any such defense assumed by Health Benefits, Spinner may do so at his own individual sole cost and expense. If Health Benefits declines to assume any such defense, it shall be liable for all costs and expenses of defending such claim incurred by Spinner, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel. Neither party shall, without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree which would restrict the future activity or conduct of the other party or any Affiliate thereof or if such settlement or compromise does not include an unconditional release of the other party for any liability arising out of such claim or demand.

(ii) The foregoing obligation of Health Benefits to indemnify Spinner set forth in this Section 6.2(b) shall survive the consummation of the Merger until the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that rights to indemnification due to breaches of Sections 4.1 (Organization), 4.2 (Capitalization), 4.3 (Subsidiaries) and 4.4 (Authority), shall survive until the end of time; and provided, further, that claims first asserted in writing within such periods shall not thereafter be barred.

Section 6.3 Notification of Certain Matters. ISG shall give prompt notice to Health Benefits and Merger Sub, and Health Benefits and Merger Sub shall give prompt notice to ISG, of (a) any failure of ISG, Health Benefits or Merger Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder, (b) any notice or other communication from any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, or (c) any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in a Health Benefits Material Adverse Effect or an ISG Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall not cure such breach or non-compliance or limit or otherwise affect the rights, obligations or remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

Section 6.4 Asserted Objections. If any objections are asserted with respect to the Contemplated Transactions or if any suit is instituted by any Governmental Entity or any private party challenging any of the Contemplated Transactions as violative of any regulatory Law, each of Health Benefits, Merger Sub, ISG and Spinner shall use his or its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections or challenge as such Governmental Entity or private party may have to such transactions under such regulatory Law so as to stay the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 6.5 Reorganization. It is the intention of Health Benefits and ISG that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Code (and any comparable provisions of applicable state law). Neither Health Benefits nor ISG will take or

- 23 -

omit to take any action (whether before, on or after the Closing Date) that would cause the Merger not to be so treated. The parties will characterize the Merger as such a reorganization for purposes of all Tax Returns and other filings.
