Omega Subsidiary is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omega. The Five Star Affiliates, Omega and JoAnn P. Webb have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of October 6, 1997, as amended by Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of October 31, 1997 (the “Reorganization Agreement”), which contemplates the merger of the Five Star Affiliates with and into Omega Subsidiary (the “Merger”) in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Plan̶ 1;).
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth below and subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan and in the Reorganization Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. Merger. On the Effective Date (as defined below), the Five Star Affiliates shall be merged with and into Omega Subsidiary in accordance with this Plan and in compliance with the Iowa Business Corporation Act (the “Iowa Act”), and the Merger shall have the effect provided for in the Iowa Act. Omega Subsidiary (sometimes referred to below as the “Surviving Corporation”) shall be the surviving corporation of the Merger and shall continue to exist and to be governed by the laws of the State of Iowa. The corporate existence and identity of Omega Subsidiary, with i ts purposes and powers, shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger, and Omega Subsidiary shall succeed to and be fully vested with the corporate existence and identity of the Five Star Affiliates. The separate corporate existence and identity of the Five Star Affiliates shall cease upon the Effective Date.
2. Name and Registered Office of Surviving Corporation. The name of the Surviving Corporation shall be designated by Omega. The location of its registered office in the State of Iowa shall be 2222 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50312.
3. Articles of Incorporation. On the Effective Date, the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be that of Omega Subsidiary immediately before the Merger.
4. Bylaws. Immediately after the Merger, the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be those of Omega Subsidiary immediately before the Merger.
5. Directors. Immediately after the Merger, the directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of Omega Subsidiary immediately before the Merger, who shall serve in accordance with the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
6. Officers. Immediately after the Merger, the officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of Omega Subsidiary immediately before the Merger, who shall serve in accordance with the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
7. Status of Omega Subsidiary Shares. On the Effective Date, all of the 1,000 shares of capital stock of Omega Subsidiary, no par value, issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date shall be unchanged by virtue of the Merger. It is the intention of the parties that, immediately after the Effective Date, Omega shall own all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
8. Conversion of Five Star Group’s Common Stock. On the Effective Date, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the sole stockholder of each of the Five Star Affiliates, JoAnn P. Webb (“Webb”), each share of common stock of each of the Five Star Affiliates (“Five Star Group’s Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 3.2 of the Reorganization Agre ement). Upon the surrender on the Effective Date by Webb of her certificates representing shares of the Five Star Group’s Common Stock, and upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in the Reorganization Agreement, Omega shall pay to Webb the Merger Consideration in the manner prescribed in and in accordance with the Reorganization Agreement.
9. Fractional Share Adjustment.

Webb shall not be entitled to dividends or other rights in respect of any such fractional interest in Omega’s Common Stock. Payment for such fractional interest shall be made, without interest, upon surrender of Webb’s certificates representing shares of the Five Star Group’s Common Stock .
10. Treasury Stock. Each share of the Five Star Group’s Common Stock which is held as a treasury share, or which is held by any subsidiary of any Five Star Affiliate immediately before the Effective Date shall, on the Effective Date, by virtue of the Merger and without notice, be automatically canceled.

11. Post Merger Actions. After the Effective Date and until surrendered for the Merger Consideration, each outstanding certificate which, prior to the Effective Date, represented shares of the Five Star Group’s Common Stock which at the Effective Date were converted into Omega’s Common Stock, shall be deemed for all corporate purposes, subject to the further provisions of this Plan, to evidence the ownership of the number of whole shares of Omega’s Common Stock, for and into which such shares have been converted. However, dividends and other distributions of any kind payable to holders of record of Omega’s Common Stock, shall not be paid by Omega in res pect of any unsurrendered certificates representing shares of the Five Star Group’s Common Stock until such certificates shall have been surrendered. Upon the subsequent surrender and exchange of such certificates, Webb shall be paid, without interest, the amount of any dividend or other distribution which became payable on or after the Effective Date to holders of record on or after the Effective Date of shares of Omega’s Common Stock, if the payment date was prior to or on the date of surrender and exchange. If the payment date is subsequent to such surrender and exchange, payment shall be made on such payment date. After the Effective Date, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Five Star Affiliates of the shares of the Five Star Group’s Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date. If, after the Effective Date, certificates representing such shares are presented to Omega or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Plan.

By execution of the Reorganization Agreement, Webb acknowledges that she has been informed that she has the right to dissent from the Merger and obtain payment for the fair value of her shares of stock in the Five Star Affiliates in accordance with the provisions of the Iowa Business Corporation Act (the “Iowa Act”) and Webb hereby waives any such rights and remedies provided to her under the Iowa Act.
